"Festival nights like these are the best!" Lucy hollered.
"Let's go for the food stalls!" Luffy hollered, already heading out.
"Get back here, Luffy!" Nami hollered, chasing after Luffy.
"Nii-san's funny." Aika commented.
"Funny's not the word I'd use." Kumi said, having a sweat drop on her forehead.
"Guess we'd better split up and enjoy the festival while we can." Goku explained.
"Sure thing, dad." Gohan said.
"Luffy's not having all the food without me!" Natsu hollered, running to the direction Luffy went off to.
"Get back here, Natsu!" Lucy hollered.
Lucy and Happy followed after Natsu. Ichigo, Orihime, Percy, Annabeth, Kuroko and Momoi followed suit.
"Let's play some games, Eri-chan!" Aika hollered.
"Yeah!" Eri hollered.
"Guess we'll have to come to keep you company." Ochaco explained, referring to herself, Izuku, Kumi, Shoyo Hinata, Yachi, Ruby, Weiss, Rin and Shiemi.
"Then we'll head for some other stands. Like a dance." Hinata Hyuga explained.
"Yeah!" Kouga, Naruto and Yuna hollered in unison.
"We can go and watch. Right, dad?" Gohan asked.
"Sure. I am an adult after all." Goku replied, trying to be sarcastic, but his honesty made him tell the logical answer.

Luffy was at one of the stands, stuffing a lot of grilled chicken yakitori in his mouth.
Nami showed up and hit Luffy in the head, startling the people in the area.
"We're here to have fun, Luffy!" Nami hollered.
"S-Sorry…" Luffy said.
"At least save some for us, man." Natsu said.
"How bout we share the food?" Lucy asked, her right eyebrow twitching in irritation.
"Of course I knew that!" Natsu replied.
"You're such a liar." Ichigo, Annabeth, Momoi and Happy said in unison.
Percy wanted to take Annabeth to do the dance, currently fidgeting with his fingers.
Annabeth notice and giggled.
"I know you want me to come with you to the dance. But let's try and enjoy something we've never done in a different culture, Percy." Annabeth explained.
Percy let go of his fidgeting and relaxed.
"Sure." Percy said.
Orihime was drooling at the Yakisoba noddle stand.
"Yakisoba…" Orihime said.
"Easy on the drooling, honey." Ichigo said.
"But they're so good I can eat a whole bunch of them!" Orihime hollered, waving her arm in excitement.
"Eat too much and you'll get-" Ichigo explained, but got kicked in the side by Annabeth.
"Say it and you die." Annabeth said, giving a smile that hides a murderous aura.
"R-Right…" Ichigo muttered, in fear.
Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Orihime, Percy and Momoi felt nervous.
Momoi suddenly noticed Kuroko's gone missing.
"Where did Tetsu-kun go?" Momoi asked.
"Right here." Kuroko replied, appearing behind the others with a popsicle stick in hand.
Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Luffy, Nami, Ichigo, Orihime, Percy and Annabeth jumped in fright. While spooked herself, Momoi was very relieved.
"Tetsu-kun!" Momoi hollered, hugging Kuroko hard.
"That hurts, Satsuki." Kuroko said.
"Whatcha got in your hand?" Happy asked.
Kuroko showed them the popsicle stick with the front saying the kanji for "WINNER".
"I am victorious." Kuroko said.
"HE GOT ONE?!" Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Luffy, Nami, Ichigo, Orihime, Percy and Annabeth exclaimed in unison.
"You're amazing, Tetsu-kun!" Momoi hollered, having heart-shaped eyes.

"I got plenty of fish, Eri-chan!" Aika hollered, holding her bag of fish from the fish catching game she and Eri played together.
"That's amazing, Aika-chan! I believe to have the same amount!" Eri hollered, holding a similar bag with the same amount of fish as Eri has.
"You girls sure caught a lot of fish." Ochaco commented, kneeling to met the two little girls at their level.
Eri and Aika nodded in agreement.
"Boy. I caught like little." Izuku said, looking at the amount he has, which is quite lower than what the two kids and Ochaco have in their hands.
"Relax, dude. I'm sure there's plenty for everyone to have caught." Rin commented, joining the One For All user.
"Can you cook them for dinner, Uncle Rin?" Eri and Aika asked in unison.
"You can't be serious?!" Rin thought, totally dumbfounded.
"That's a great idea! I can help you cook!" Shiemi hollered.
"Absolutely not!" Ochaco, Yachi and Kumi thought in unison, outright against Shiemi assisting in cooking, but don't wanna say it out loud.
Shoyo Hinata laughed until he noticed an annoyed Weiss and a nervous Ruby… carrying a lot of prizes like stuffed animals, cosmetics, etc.
"Uh… what's with all the stuffed animals?" Shoyo Hinata asked.
"Well…" Ruby replied.
"Ruby got banned from the shooting gallery." Weiss explained.
"She got so good at shooting all the targets she'd ended up talking all the stuff." Weiss continued.
"I've been so good with making my shots on the battlefield, I didn't think I was this good." Ruby explained.
"You're hopeless!" Shoyo Hinata, Ochaco, Weiss and Rin hollered in unison.
Izuku, Eri, Yachi, Shiemi, Aika and Kumi laughed sheepishly.

At the local festival dance, Yuna and Hinata Hyuga were having a wonderful time as they performed gracefully in traditional Japanese dancing.
Even Kouga and Naruto couldn't resist and decided to join on the fun by dancing with their significant other(s).
Goku and Gohan were watching and smiling at the sight.
"They're really getting into it." Gohan commented.
"It's like the Fusion Dance. But a little normal." Goku explained.
"That's not what they're doing, dad." Gohan said, having a sweat drop on his forehead.
Kouga and Yuna, Naruto and Hinata Hyuga, were doing the Bon Odori, moving in sync as the music started to kick up.
"This is amazing." Hinata Hyuga said.
"Good thing we managed to rent a house the week before to come here." Naruto explained.
"It's a beautiful dance for us to enjoy." Yuna said.
"Yeah. Let's enjoy the night while we can." Kouga explained.
Everyone in the gang continued doing their own thing as the festival continued in the wonderful night.
Sorry if there's gonna be no fireworks at the festival. But don't worry, the next one-shot will be the fireworks for Independence Day next week!
