In less than twenty minutes, Izumi was pretty sure that Nejire had asked her more about her quirk and herself than literally anyone else.

Momo gave a light laugh and gave Izumi's arm a light nudge. "I thought that we were supposed to be asking her questions, not the other way around."

Izumi matched the laugh and flapped her arms as Nejire led them through the halls of the campus. They had already gone through most of the main buildings already, so only the science and sports buildings were left. "Yeah, but it's kind of nice. I like talking about my quirk. Besides, she kind of answers everything before we can even ask the question."

"Yeah," Momo ran her hand through her hair and gave a light sigh that made Izumi feel like she was about to be either praised or scolded. "She's asked me more than a few questions that I still haven't come up with answers for."

"Like your three sizes?" Izumi gave a big smile and watched as Momo turned completely and utterly pink, just like she had when Nejire had first asked that question. She had also been asked that question, and she actually answered with a slight shrug. She had accepted that currently, she was a bit behind some other girls her age, especially girls like Momo, and doubly especially girls like Nejire, but Nejire was two years older than her, so that made sense.

Momo folded her arms over her chest, though the uniform didn't really give away too much information unless Momo stretched her back. "Not you too."

"Hehe, sorry, you're just cute when you blush."

And that made Momo turn ever so slightly redder. "Please don't tease me so much."

"Ahh, okay, okay," Izumi placed both hands behind her head and watched as Nejire talked about all of the science rooms that they had at Haruno Junior, ranging from the Astronomy Club to the Home Ec club, and even the Science Club. A few of the club presidents showed up and talked about their clubs along the way, but none of them were especially interesting to Izumi.

"Hey, Nejire-Senpai, I have a question."

With the energy of an excited puppy tripping over its own feet, Nejire zoomed over in front of Izumi, nearly falling as she tried to come to a stop. "You do? What about?"

"Umm, is there a quirk-related club? Or, maybe, a future hero club we could join?"

"Oooooh." Nejire's eyes went wide, and she leaned back. Her mouth was small and slightly open. Then she shrugged. "Nope, not really, but there are lots of clubs here that you can join that can help you with your quirks and stuff! Like I had a senpai that was on the swim team that wanted to learn to use her quirk underwater, and we all helped her with that! I joined the swim club partially because I like swimsuits and stuff, but also because it helped me with my quirk! Oh, wait, hey, hey, Momo!"

And just like that, Izumi had lost Nejire's interest.

"Eek!" Momo gave a light yelp when Nejire appeared in her face.

"You said that your quirk uses your fat, right?" Nejire pointed towards Momo's stomach, which prompted the black-haired girl to place her arms over her stomach.

"Yes?" Momo shrunk under Nejire's intense stare.

"If that's true, why don't you put on some weight? That way, you'd be able to use your quirk more? Besides, if you're too big, you can just make a car and be ready for summer! Or did you not explain your quirk properly the first time?" Once again, Nejire was floating a few inches off the ground. Her foot occasionally touched the ground, only for her to spring back up like she was trying to stand in water that was just slightly too deep.

"Oh, umm, well, while the fat that's stored in my body is theoretically usable, it's actually slower than using the fat that my body is currently breaking down from my meals. And less efficient." The blush currently staining Momo's cheeks remained as she shuffled her feet. "Besides, I umm, I like being, umm, slender."

"Oh! That's so neat! And you!"

Nejire's interest had been gained without Izumi doing anything. "What's it like when you use your quirk? It's super neat how you can make it do stuff! It's like Momo can make anything that she knows about, and you can like, do the same thing, but like, not with stuff, but with stuff!" Nejire touched the ground and blinked for a moment. "Does that make sense?"

"Ah." Izumi opened her mouth and stared at the curious blue-haired girl that she had been stuck with for an hour now and then towards Momo, who was also looking at her curiously. "Well, umm, when I complete an umm." She felt her cheeks burn. This was her first time calling her spells, spells in front of other people. That was just what she called them in her head for the most part. "Spell," A pause, no one cared that she called them spells. Neat! "When I complete a spell, I feel like I have less energy, and if I use it too much, then I get kind of light-headed and stuff and moving is pretty hard and—"

Nejire grabbed her hands and clapped them in front of Izumi's face. "Your quirk's just like mine!"

"Ehh?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's like that feeling that you get when you're all fine, and then you run around and do stuff, and then your body remembers you didn't eat, and you just feel like really terrible, you're tired but awake, and it's like your head is swimming in a fishbowl filled with angry goldfish?"

Izumi could only process about half of what Nejire was saying as her words came out at speeds that made Izumi feel like someone had pressed fast forward on Nejire. "Uhh, yeah?"

"That's what it feels like when I use my quirk too much! It takes up my stamina, and when I was first in middle school, I couldn't even do anything without feeling super tired and sometimes I'd even pass out if I used my quirk too much, then I had a senpai say I should join the swim team to increase my stamina and it worked and now look!" Nejire darted back, floating in the air again and wobbling slightly. "I can almost fly with my quirk, and I'm not really tired! You should join the swim team! I'd love to have you as my super cute Kouhai."

Izumi blinked, "But, I'm not a good swimmer."

"That's fine. Sucking at stuff is the first step towards being good at something! And besides, you want to increase your stamina so you can use your quirk more, right? You want to be a hero too, right? So why not? This will help you a lot! Plus, you get to wear a cute swimsuit and look!" Nejire pulled up her skirt and pointed towards her thighs, making Momo blush and look away . "When you swim a lot, your thighs look really nice! And your butt gets firm too! Plus, it works out your whole body! It's great!"

Honestly, there wasn't a lot that Izumi could disagree with there. All of those things sounded amazing, and being a hero was a physically demanding job. She shrugged and looked towards Momo. "Well, what do you say Momo, want to join the swim team with me?"

"Oh!" Nejire grabbed Momo's hands and looked at the girl with sparkles in her eyes. "Yes please! I bet you'd look super cute in a swimsuit! Especially if you had a ponytail!" Nejire gasped and shot her arms up in celebration. "We should all get ponytails!"

"Uhh." Momo gave a light shrug. "Outside of general fitness, I'm not sure what swimming would do for me,"

"If your boobs grow more, it'll help your back muscles out," Nejire replied like that had just sweetened the deal a lot.

"Err, I suppose?" Momo offered a shrug. "I'd like to see the other options before I decide. But it sounds like the swim club would be ideal for you Izumi."

Nejire grabbed both their hands again and pulled them along. "Great! Come on, let me go show you the pool first! That'll convince you! Then we can go to the other clubs!"

Honestly, Izumi did feel a little bad for the others that Nejire had locked onto her and Momo so far.

But, at the same time, she was a little jealous of the others that weren't the center of attention.

The indoor pool of Haruno Junior High was massive, with a set of stands on one side and an enormous wall of windows that made the room feel like it was both indoor and outdoor. There was even a two-story diving platform on one end, and some other equipment scattered around the pool.

"Welcome to the pool! The only downside is that it sucks when we have to clean it, but we only have to do that once a year, and we play music and have a BBQ afterwards! The rest of the time, we're doing laps, swimming to improve our time and forms, sometimes we even practice with water polo, and that's super fun!" Nejire spun around as she gestured towards the pool, a great big smile on her face. Then she let out a pout and crossed her arms. "I'd show you our school swimsuits because they're super cute and stuff but, I was told I wasn't allowed to do that."

"Oh! And the pool's heated too!" Nejire flopped her arms and then looked towards the pool. "Sorry, it's kind of boring when we can't actually get in it."

"It's fine, Nejire," Izumi smiled and waved her hand. "But I think I might join. It sounds like a lot of fun."

"Yay! Alright, now, we need to find a club for Momo and—" Nejire looked behind them at the rest of Izumi's future classmates. "And the rest of you! Anyone want to join the swimming team?"

Nobody even responded. Most of the other girls had expressed interest in the less physical clubs already.

XXXX

"Izumi?" Momo asked softly once Nejire's tour had come to an end; the blue-haired girl had waved everyone goodbye and floated off into the main building, leaving the tour group to find their own way home, much like how they found their own way there. Momo folded her hands in front of her skirt and bit her lip slightly. "Umm, seeing as how Nejire-senpai had uhh,"

"Hijacked."

"Hijacked our conversations, I didn't get the chance to ask. Would you like to come to lunch with me today? I know of a good place nearby, and afterwards, we could even shop for supplies."

Izumi winced. She did want to go, but her cash was limited to just enough to buy a drink from a vending machine if she really wanted. "Uhh, sorry Momo, but I don't have any money on me."

"Oh," Momo's shoulders slumped, but then she blinked and smiled. "Oh, I know! I can pay for our meal! And if we go shopping for supplies, please consider it a token of our new friendship!"

"Are you sure?" Izumi asked, scratching the back of her head. "I mean, if you're paying for everything, I think I'd start to feel guilty."

"You shouldn't," Momo said firmly. "I'm the one offering to pay, so please? Would you join me?"

"Fine! But I'm going to pay you back somehow."
