Kirishima walked to Mina's door at 6 p.m. like they agreed in their texts from earlier. This is it, man. You got this. He raised his hand to knock, but the door flew open to an arm pulling him into the room.

"I'm so glad you asked to see me, Kiri," Mina said as she pushed him on her desk chair.

Kirishima caught his breath and looked into her eyes. "Great, cause Ashido, I want to as-"

She caught him off. "Pretty much everyone in our class has a date except for who?" He raised a finger, "Uraraka! Iida asked Hatsume from the support class this afternoon, so the one that's left for her is Midoriya." Mina began to pace up and down her room. "That girl just had to visit her parents this weekend. Well, don't worry because I got a plan."

"Ashido, slow down! Why don't you let things happen naturally?"

"The dress fitting is tomorrow, Kiri. There's no time to wait!" She plopped on her knees and clapped her hands together. "Will you please help me with my plan?"

This means a lot to her. "Alright, on one condition." Her eyes peered up at him. So amazing. "Afterwards, we get to do something fun together, just us."

She bounced up, giving him a thumbs up and a wink. "You got it! Besides, I still got to get you a date. It's a shame that I like Camie too much to break them up."

"Ashido, Bakugou and I are just friends," he reminded her. Snickering, she shrugged her shoulders and sat on her bed. "So this is what I had in mind…"

Meanwhile, off campus, Aizawa, with Eri holding his hand, walked to the train station. He peered down and noticed Eri kept messing with her dress. "Eri, what are you doing?" he asked.

"Do you think Ms. Joke is going to like me?" she asked.

"Trust me, she is going to love you," he reassured her. She smiled and began pulling his arm to quicken their pace.

They soon made it to Gate G as the train slowed its pace. Soon, different people began to pile out the railroad car. A woman with bright turquoise hair with a small bag walked out. She was in civilian clothes, which consisted of a floor-length red skirt that came to her waist with suspenders that went over her white button down blouse. She let her hair fly free from her iconic bandana. When she saw Aizawa and Eri, Fukukado waved and jogged over to them. "Hey Eraser!" she exclaimed.

"Joke, it's good to see you," he replied.

She then turned her attention to the nervous girl grasping Eraser's hand. She knelt down to her level. "Hi Eri, my name is Ms. Joke or Emi Fukukado. I'm so excited that I get to finally meet you," she said. The Smile Hero surveyed both of their outfits. "Hey, we're practically twins!" Eri smiled at that and pulled away from Aizawa.

"I like your skirt, Ms. Fu-Fuka..." she whispered.

"You can call me Emi. My last name is way too long. I got something for you!" Fukukado dug through her bag and pulled out a stuffed chimpanzee. Eri's eyes lit up like the Fourth of July. "You like it?" She nodded her head. "I thought a monkey would be a good fit for you to think of me, you know why?" The little girl shook her head. "Because they are fun and silly like me!" Fukukado jumped up and landed in a funny pose with Eri giggling.

Aizawa's eyes widened. "You made her laugh so fast."

"And that was without using my quirk! I get to keep my title," Emi added. Amused, he grabbed Emi's bag while Eri held out her hand to him. She then grabbed one of her new toy's hands, so Emi could grab the other to walk back to the dorms together.

13 days until the ball

Please forgive me that this chapter is so short! It makes sense for the next couple of chapters. What do you think Mina is planning?

Random: I'm happy that someone got my reference! The todomomo scene last chapter was one of my favorite scenes to write so far.

I would love to hear what you think!
