As Todoroki went to sit next to Momo, Emi began to walk back to the gala with Aizawa. She rubbed her hands up and down her arms, scowling at the ground. "You seem bothered," Aizawa said.

"You wouldn't believe it, Eraser," Emi said. "Endeavor suggested that an arranged marriage should be put together for Todoroki and Yaoyorozu. The poor girl was freaked out, and she didn't want to upset Todoroki."

"Even when she is troubled, she is looking after others," Aizawa muttered. "Sounds like her."

Emi stopped. "What shall we do?"

"There's nothing to do. We have to let Todoroki and Yaoyorozu handle it." Emi looked at the ground as Aizawa placed his hands on her shoulders. "I know you want to do something, and trust me, I wish I could give him a piece of my mind, but this is something they need to take care of." He held his arm out. "Okay?"

She sighed and took his arm. "Fine but I don't like it." They walked back in silence. When they entered through the balcony doors, Emi pointed to the bar. "I need a drink. Do you want anything?"

"No, I'm fine." He noticed Hizashi and Nemuri standing near the stage. "I'm going to let them know what happened. Meet me there?"

Emi nodded and made her way to the bar. "Hey bartender, give me your strongest tequila shot." The concerned bartender did what he was asked. As he sat the drink down, Emi saw flames from the corner of her eyes.

"Give me a Black Russian," a large male voice commanded.

Endeavor paid no attention to her as he sat next to her. Someone is really testing me up there. She glanced at the man next to her and pictured the crying soon-to-be hero outside. She drank the shot and turned to the waiter. "I'll have the same as him." The waiter grew wide-eyed but brought up another class. Endeavor peered down to her. "Having a good time?" Emi asked as his drink was placed in front of him.

Endeavor took a sip. "It is what it is," he replied. "May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Ms. Joke, the Smile Hero. I'm also a teacher at Ketsubutsu Academy." The bartender placed her drink in front of her.

The hellflame hero snorted. "That's an alright school, I guess."

Emi felt her muscles tighten as she sipped the strong drink. Bleh. "Heh yes, well I enjoy it." She looked behind her and pointed to Aizawa. "I actually came here with Eraserhead and helped the students who came tonight. Your son is wonderful."

"Of course he is! He is my son after all."

"And his date, Momo Yaoyorozu, is such a lovely girl. She seems like she's got it all." Another sip.

"I agree." He eyed her suspiciously.

"Then I wonder," she stopped to take another sip, "why you made her cry."

"Excuse me?"

Emi downed the rest of the Black Russian and slammed it back on the counter. "I get you are the number one hero now, but that does not mean you have the right to tell that girl who she should marry!" The music ceased as people turned their attention to the bar.

Endeavor erected from his seat as flames rose from his hair and shoulders. "Who do you think you are?"

Ms. Joke stood to match him as Endeavor's flames continued to rise until Emi felt a hand on her shoulder. She noticed his flames immediately ceased. She turned to see Aizawa, hair raised and red-eyed. "May I ask what you are doing with my date, Endeavor?" he asked. Present Mic and Midnight stood behind him.

"Eraserhead, tell your woman to stay out of my family business," Endeavor muttered.

Emi gasped as Midnight held her back. Veins popped out of Aizawa's neck as his scarf began to crawl out of his suit jacket. "Apologize now," he demanded.

"Make me," Endeavor challenged.

All Might ran up to them with Inko right behind him. "C'mon guys, let's not fight!' he exclaimed.

"Stay out of this, All Might!" Endeavor exclaimed.

"I don't want you to get hurt," Eraserhead added.

Before the brawl began, a wall of ice appeared between them. "That's enough!" Todoroki shouted. Everyone gasped as Shoto Todoroki and Momo Yaoyorozu walked up to them hand-in-hand.

"Momo!" Jirou exclaimed as she ran up to them with Kaminari close behind her. They hugged as Jirou asked if she was alright.

"Yes, I am fine," she said as she took hold of Shoto's hand. Jirou gave her a sly smile. Momo turned her attention back to the pros. "Please stop this. I didn't mean for any of this to happen."

Emi stepped closer to her. "No honey, this was my fault. I pestered Endeavor because I was angry for what he did to you," she said. "Eraser told me not to get involved, but I saw his dumb hair and couldn't help myself."

"I understand," Shoto said. He then walked up to his father. "I want to have a better relationship with you, but you make it so damn hard." Endeavor looked away. "Yaoyorozu and I have decided to start a relationship but on our terms. If you try anything to jeopardize that, you will be cut out of my life. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Shoto, I understand," Endeavor replied. He then turned to Momo and Emi. "I'm sorry to you two as well." He began to walk away.

"I forgive you," Momo said. Endeavor stopped and turned back. "However, that doesn't mean I'll forget you blind sighting me with an arranged marriage. You should see how that has been for your wife." She then turned from the stunned pro hero and back to Todoroki as he melted the ice. Endeavor opened his mouth to say something but noticed the other heroes stare at him. Head held down, he walked out of the gala.

Emi hugged Aizawa as Endeavor left. "Thank you for almost fighting the number one hero." Aizawa broke the hug and raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry I started the fight, but you got to admit. He had it coming."

Aizawa chuckled. "Yeah, I guess he did."

"So, am I your woman?" Emi smirked. He rolled his eyes and began to walk back to the student table. "Oh c'mon, Aizawa!" She ran to catch up with him.

The band picked up the music again, but no one wanted to dance or even talk to one another. Hizashi surveyed the room and glanced at his date. "Jeez, Nemuri, that whole fight seemed to kill the mood," he said.

"Maybe a live performance would do the trick," Nemuri replied eyeing Jirou as she was talking to Todoroki, Momo, and Kaminari.

"You are a genius!" he said. Nemuri giggled as Hizashi waltzed up to Jirou. "Jirou, can I talk to you and Kaminari for a second?"

"Sure, Present Mic," Jirou said. They waved to Todoroki and Momo and walked near the stage.

"As you can tell, the cheerful gala energy has been destroyed by that fight. Midnight and I thought you two should perform like at the school festival last year!" Hizashi said.

"What!?" Jirou exclaimed as she jumped up and flushed red. She shook her head. "I can't! That was in front of my peers! This is in front of pro heroes." She glanced away. "They don't want to hear me sing."

Kaminari took her hand. "C'mon Jirou, this will get your name out there!" he said.

"What do they even want to hear?" she asked as she examined the room.

"Do you know the song I played for you?"

"Yeah, it's Elvis. Everyone knows him."

"Who was the King of Rock! You're the queen, so let's do this!"

She sighed and looked at Present Mic. "Show must go on, right?"

"Yeah!" Present Mic said as he walked onto the stage. He shushed the band and took the mic. "Ladies and gentleman, may I have your attention?" The crowd hushed as the lights dimmed on him.

"Oh geez, I didn't think it would be right now," Jirou whispered.

"We got this. I'll follow your lead the entire time," Kaminari whispered back as he caressed her hand with his thumb.

"We are lucky to surprise you tonight with a live performance from two students from Class 2-A!" He took the guitar from the band. "Please welcome to the stage, Kyoka Jirou and Denki Kaminari!" Hizashi said as he gave Kaminari the guitar.

The pair took center stage, and the crowd was silent as the spotlight shined on them. "Hi everyone," Jirou said. "We are going to perform an Elvis Presley's classic for you all tonight. We dedicate this to all the couples out there." She nodded at Kaminari who began to play. After the opening chords, she began to sing:

Wise men say only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Toshinori stood up with Inko as he led her to the dance floor. Hizashi walked towards Nemuri and held his hand out. She smiled and allowed him to lead her to the floor. Hagakure pointed to the stage and pulled Ojiro towards the dance floor while Sero and Setuna walked behind them. Jirou smiled and gained more confidence in her voice.

Oh, shall I stay, would it be a sin

Oh, if I can't help falling in love with you?

Like a river flows, surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be

Other couples joined in like Shoji and Reiko, Sato and Kodai, and Koda and Shizoaki. Kendo curtised to Aoyama as he bowed and led her to the dance floor. Hatsume dragged Iida to the floor as he almost tripped on his own feet. Emi pressed her hands together and looked at Aizawa with puppy dog eyes. He sighed and held his hand out.

Take my hand, take my whole life too

Oh, for I can't help falling in love with you

Bakugo stood up and held his hand out for Camie. Squealing, she grabbed and ran to the dance floor. Laughing at the scene, Kirishim and Mina followed them. Dark Shadow leapt from his master's back and pulled him towards the crowd. Tokoyami tried to stop him with no avail. Soon he was in the middle of the dance floor with Tsu right behind him. She giggled and held her hand out to dance.

Oh, like a river flows, surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be

On the dance floor, Uraraka placed her head on Midoriya's shoulder. Red ran rampant on his face as his mother and All Might smiled at him. Todoroki and Momo did not take their eyes off each other as they danced across the wooden floor. Kirishima lifted Mina off the ground and spun her around as she laughed.

Oh, take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you

Oh, for I can't help falling in love with you

As Jirou finished, almost everyone was dancing with one another. When Kaminari played the last notes, the crowd erupted with applause. "Thank you," Jirou said. She then hugged Kaminari after he gave the guitar back to the band. Hizashi bounced onto the stage and ushered them off.

"Once again, that was Kyoka Jirou and Denki Kaminari from Class 2-A!" Hiszashi exclaimed.

Heroes began to crowd the bottom of the stage. "That was amazing!"

"Do you guys perform like that when you're not in class?"

"Can I have your autographs?"

"Step aside, they are students, please remember that," Hizashi said as he cut through the crowd for them.

"Thank you for doing that, Present Mic," Jirou said.

"Yeah, that was awesome!" Kaminari added.

"No problem! You guys should perform together more often," Hizashi said.

Jirou glanced at Kaminari. "Maybe we will," she said.

A light blush appeared on his face. "I would love that," he said.

"Go enjoy yourselves, you two. The night is almost over!" Hizashi said as he left to find Nemuri and Aizawa.

"Aww, I don't want it to end!" Kaminari said.

"C'mon, I want to go check out the garden," Jirou suggested as she grabbed his hand.

"Lead the way!" he said as they walked towards the balcony.

Romance, drama, dancing...what a chapter am I right?

I can't believe that this story is almost over! It seems like yesterday that I started planning this out.

What do you think is going to happen in the last couple chapters?
