BUS 2: THE BUSSENING

...because I named an earlier chapter bus. Oops.

It all started when Ojiro wished for a backseat DVD player. When a TV screen grew out of the seat, the requests quickly escalated to game consoles, then chips, popcorn and soda, followed by Mina's joking request for a DDR game. The bus drew a line at Mineta's request for Mount Lady nudes, but otherwise, the bus expanded to meet their every whim.

Bakugo laughed maniacally as he slaughtered robots in his own personal arcade, Koda tended to a small flock of rabbits in his personal petting zoo, Aoyama got a makeover from mechanical combs, hair sprayers and trimmers, and Aizawa retired to a soundproofed bedroom.

Sero leaned back in a lounging chair, sipping a nonalcoholic tequila out of a coconut shell and wearing a bathing suit and shades. Kaminari, dripping wet from his ride down the water slide and wrapped in a beach towel, took a seat next to him.

"This bus is amazing!" Kaminari shouted. "I don't even know how they managed to fit an entire theme park in here! I wonder if they've got a food court as well."

As he said the words, the wall behind him expanded outward, exposing a burger joint, pizza bar, and a taco stand. Sero and Kaminari exchanged wordless nods and sprinted for the piping hot food. As they chowed down on pizza burgers, Yaoyorozu took a seat next to them and ordered a light salad.

"Momo-chan, this is amazing!" Kaminari said with grease dribbling down his chin. "I can't believe you lent the school a bus!"

"I didn't," Yaoyorozu said. "Aren't all school buses like this?"

Sero snorted. "You'd be lucky if there was gum under the seats to scrape up."

"Wait. So, if this isn't U.A.'s bus and it isn't Yaomomo's bus, then whose bus is it?"

Izuku's face grew out of the burger bar. "That would be me. I am the bus."

Over from the arcade, you could hear a pin drop in the sudden silence. Then Bakugo smashed his fist through the arcade console and roared, "I let my guard down, Deku, but I know the truth! It's all a distraction so you can initiate your plans to take over the world, isn't it?"

"Oh jeez, there he goes again," Sero grumbled. "I wish this bus came with a restraining feature."

Metal bands grew around Bakugo's arms and legs. Though he struggled and bit at the metal, the bindings held.

"Cool. So, why exactly are you the bus?"

"Aizawa-sensei let me eat the bus as long as I drove everyone to the summer camp."

Aizawa walked up with a hot cup of coffee and said, "This way, I don't have to drive the bus. Speaking of, pull over. It's time for everyone to get out."

"Alright. Terminating bus mode."

Aizawa's eyes widened. "Wait, let everyone get out first!"

Izuku rapidly shrunk down to his normal size, leaving everyone still inside him tightly squeezed together. Mineta squirmed and said, "Guys, I need to use the bathroom."
