The stage has been set. Lights have initiated, cameras are rolling, and all that's left is for the actors to take action. In England they used to have colored flags that symbolized a play's genre — comedy, tragedy, and history. Lights, camera, action — brevity is the soul of the wit!

"Uraraka," Ashido murmurs, paying careful attention to the other line. She figures by now everyone must have done their job. "Let's hear it. How's Camie's situation?"

"Splendid," Uraraka quips. The rest of the group call falls silent, all nineteen members listening to the result of Uraraka and Asui's excursion. "It was a bit tricky, but we've managed to get Camie a new yukata. We specifically decided on one that will catch anyone's attention, and, um… excuse me for saying this aloud, but it's more noticeable in the… ch-chest… area…"

"Do yukatas strain?" interrupts some creature called Mineta, and no one answers him. Believe it or not, even he managed to find a lady who's even more perverted than him. Ashido called it some twisted fate. She's met the girl before, and she verbally described how preferable it would be to spend a day with Mineta than her. Great minds think alike.

Ashido replies, "Good, Uraraka, good. Kaminari? Sero? Midoriya? How about you guys?"

"Don't sweat it! We've got him hooked," says Kaminari. "He's coming to the festival too. Sero'll drag him there if we need to."

"We've also kept asking if he's ever had a girlfriend, and he angrily brushes us off, but I think that's a good sign," Sero adds.

Ashido could never be more proud. She wants to give them all a gold star. "You guys are absolutely incredible. Everything's going along perfectly!"

"Um…" comes a voice, and Ashido pauses to hear whatever they have to say…

Oh?

It's Midoriya!

"I've called Kacchan a few times…"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing much. I just reminded him that Ochako and I are getting married and that he's invited to the wedding."

The nail on the coffin!

Midoriya coming in with the clutch! It's a sure-fire way to let Bakugou know he's been missing out the past decade!

While the notes are jotted down, Yaoyorozu accompanies them with her own mischief. They have Camie tagging along with her group, and Kirishima has Bakugou following him. The newest goal is to have Bakugou and Camie meet each other at that festival, be left alone, and everything takes off from there. Add some perks and tweaks, and the shoujo romance has become reality.

Yet, before such a feat can happen, planning must ensue. As Ashido said, the greatest tactics in war contain a strategy.

This play will go down in history!

"Fantastic," says Ashido. Leaning back in her chair, the pink hero contemplates her next choice of words. Gingerly she skims over her next sentence, and with her thumbs tied together, she glares into her computer screen, spouting these words as the room seems to chill:

"Now… let's discuss Bakugou's libido."

Faces of fear, of contempt, painted across the screen like a spreadsheet! A total of nine flee, clicking the end call button and tuning in for the night, Midoriya included. Even the crickets outside seemed to freeze in astoundment. Ashido Mina, a twenty-seven year old woman, discussing a grown man's libido. Where's the maturity gone?

"Hagakure," continues Ashido. "You stay. I've got something to tell you after this."

"'Kay!"

Tracing marks on her palms, she asks, "Has anyone witnessed Bakugou experiencing anything remnant of lust?"

Disgusting.

Four more leave.

"No…" Kirishima confesses. "Not really, I guess… how would you even describe that?"

"No goo-goo eyes? Has he ever gazed at someone like he wants to impregnate them?"

What are you thinking?!

Three more leave! Yaoyorozu scoffs in repulsion as she bids them farewell! Jirou sits there in her pajamas, not saying a word as her jacks form a zigzag pattern and her cheeks flare up. She has no desire to listen to this any further, yet might as well while she's here. She can deal with it…

But Ashido says, "Camie basically wants to bear his children, and we need to find a way to get that message across to him," and it's too much for Jirou to bear. She feels like a kid as she groans in embarrassment and slaps her computer lid down. Thus leaving Ashido, Hagakure, and Kirishima.

In those dark eyes of hers lies disappointment, but Ashido can't blame them. It's a serious topic to discuss, anyway. Sighing, she gives a small grin to the computer. "Eijirou, you stay. I've got something to tell the both of you, to be honest."

Kirishima blinks, agreeing. Neither of them can see Hagakure's face, but a pajama top moves around in the camera.

"We can talk about libido another time, but for now, remember when I said we have to make Bakugou understand just how much Utsushimi likes him? I've got another plan, and I need you two specifically in order for it to make it happen."

Two important key factors — right across the computer screen.

Ashido's grin turns mischievous. "Hagakure, listen up."


Camie's all for a day off, believe her there, so when Ashido finally rang her up to spend the day at the park with Kirishima, of course she agreed. Despite the fact she might be a third wheel, she's got nothing better to do today, so why not? Carpe diem!

Besides, Ashido had said there was going to be a special guest there. And yet, when Camie approaches the meeting spot, three figures focus in her eyes. One red, one pink, and one…

Wha…

"Hi, Camie!"

Ashido comes barreling over, greeting the woman with a friendly hug. Meanwhile Camie is too busy trying to orient herself with what she's seeing right now. The pink hero leans close, whispering:

"So? Whaddya think?"

"Ashido…" Camie grits. "...Why?"

"You have to start somewhere," she replies with a wink, dancing off with Camie in her grip. She pulls her along, Camie nearly tripping when she tries to locate a place to stare at. Why is this happening?

"Bakugou," Ashido continues. "This is Utsushimi Camie. You remember her, right?"

Camie's head is going to explode. She is going to die, this is where it ends. After everything she said, she wants to take it all back and never say a word to anyone else. The biggest regret in her life is telling Ashido anything. Maybe she could play it off as a joke, she wasn't being serious! Really!

Yet that stubborn side of her is screaming yes yes yes! Camie is insanely grateful for Ashido, so much so she might make her her new bestie! First Momo-chan, and now, finally, Ashido! After such a long time, she's finally seeing Bakugou again! And it won't be awkward because Kirishima is here, too!

Everything that has transpired in the background of Camie's internal celebration is immediately tossed out the window when she hears Kirishima groan, "Ohhh, shoot, man, I totally forgot, I had something to do today…" while pointing at his watch.

Bakugou and Camie shoot him a look.

Then Ashido adds, "Me too! Damn, I forgot too… sorry guys, we both totally forgot about our busy schedules! Us being Pro Heroes and all! Hahaha! Welp, cya!"

In the blink of an eye they are left in the dust.

Completely perplexed.

At a loss.

Bakugou Katsuki and Utsushimi Camie glance at each other, one with a brow raised and the other about to scream her head off.

Yet in that tiny pocket of thought of hers, Camie senses something else… something that isn't there, but exists at the same time… something… transparent… no, not something. Someone.

She can feel the haunting presence of an invisible person.
