Halloween special Part 2

I looked out at the audience before us. The entire gymnasium was full and I could pick out some familiar faces among them. Yu was sitting towards the front, holding a special camera that was sending a live feed to Melissa, who was recording for my mom.

I heard the music playing around the auditorium and began singing the first lyrics of the song.

Ben: Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Jirou & Ben: Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween

We sang, our joint voices creating a unique harmony. Everyone began to become excited as they realised the song we were singing.

Choir: This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

The choir was comprised of Kirishima, Kaminari, Yao-Momo, Mina, Sero, Sato, Izuku and Uraraka.

All: This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween

While we sang the chorus, our plants began their work. Toru was breathing on people's neck's. Koda was getting animals to come in and brush up against the audience.

Tokoyami: I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

Ojiro: I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

Jirou & Ben: This is Halloween, this is Halloween

All: Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

Jirou: In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

Ben: In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise

Kaminari & Tsu: 'Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll

Mina burst out of her hiding place on stage and caused several people on stage to jump.

Bakugo: Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, and slimy green

Dark Shadow: Aren't you scared?

Mina: Well, that's just fine

Aoyama pushed some dirt that Uraraka had been floating onto the stage.

Jirou: Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night

Ben: Everybody scream, everybody scream

All: In our town of Halloween!

Shoji: I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace

Iida: I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair

Todoroki created a discrete cold through the hall using his quirk.

Ben: I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

All: This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!

Girls: Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare

Kaminari & Tsu: That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween

Ben: In this town

Ben: Don't we love it now?

All: Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Boys: Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
Girls: And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
All: This is Halloween, everybody scream
Tokoyami, Dark Shadow & Tsu: Won't ya please make way for a very special guy

I dove down into a well that had been placed on stage before hand as everyone gathered around me.

All, sans Ben: Our man Jack is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King, now!

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

Girls: In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

I was slowly raised out of my hole by a lift hatsume had prepared, covered in green slime and wearing an evil smile.

All: La la la la la la la la la la (Halloween! Halloween!)
La la la la la la la la la la (Halloween! Halloween!)

The audience erupted into applause. We were all panting hard from the exertion.

It took us all a second to realise how much people were applauding. It was like the sports festival all over again.

Once we'd composed ourselves, our plants came and joined us on the stage. We each stood in a row, hands linked to one another. We raised them into the air, before taking a deep bow in appreciation of the praise we were being shown.

Afterwards, the rest of the first year classes put on their shows. 1-B had Kendou reading scary stories while her class scared them from inside the audience with their zombie makeup. 1-C was last, but by no means were they dull. They showed the different effects their quirks had on...

ZZZZZZ

Okay, they were very dull.

I was walking through the halls with Yu, who was wearing normal clothes. She was congratulating me on a great performance.

"I never knew you could sing" she told me, munching on a snack I'd bought her from the cafeteria. "It's not something that usually comes in handy" I replied with a shrug. "Well, now that I know that, I'm going to make you sing for me all day" she told me, a smug expression on her beautiful face.

"Happily, but right now I have a last minute class to attend" I said as we reached my classroom. "I still don't understand why you have to attend classes after all that" Yu replied, facing my classroom door with a miserable expressions. I had planned to take her out after the presentation for a Halloween date, but fate had other plans. Nezu had informed that classes would still be the same afterwards, even though it was only a single lesson.

"Don't worry" I told her "so long as I'm with you, the police won't object to me being away from Nemuri". Yu seemed to become irritated at my mentioning her fellow female hero, but I calmed her down by kissing her forehead. "We can go on a date this Saturday if you like" I assured her, my hand resting against her cheek. "I'll hold you to that" Yu assured me before turning towards the exit and leaving my company.

The lesson seemed to drag on forever, we were all exhausted and some of us had decided to leave our faces as they were. I could even feel goop still in my hair.

On my walk back to Nemuri's, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. The caller ID brought a smile to my face, as did the image displayed. "Hey babe" I spoke into the microphone. "Hey you, your performance was amazing" Melissa told me, her voice full of excitement. "Yeah, I was pretty great, wasn't I?" I asked, flexing my muscles in a joking way. Melissa chuckled at my joke "maybe they'll build a statue of you" she replied.

"Still though, can't believe they made you do more classes after you did that, you must have been exhausted" she stated. I let out a groan of annoyance "please don't remind me".

I felt myself grow sad. I hadn't spent any quality time with Melissa for about a year. We couldn't go on regular dates, and the fact I had a timetable as to which girlfriend I would spend what day with hurt, considering she was my only girlfriend not on there. "I miss you" I confessed. "I miss you too" she replied, her mood having soured as well.

I was racking my brain for a solution to our problem when, like a gift from the great god himself, a text alert answered our prayer. I looked at my phone and saw it was from the UA faculty. A reminder that the I-Expo was coming soon.

"Hey babe" I asked, excitement seeping from my words "do you think you could your dad to arrange something for the I-Expo that's coming up". There was a pause on the other end, before her equally excited voice answered me "actually, papa's pretty close to finishing his research" she told me. "You and Uncle Might could come round and celebrate" she told me.

"Then it's settled" I said, my voice now strong and steadfast.

"I'll see you at I-Expo, my love"

"You're so corny sometimes"
