We now flash forward to Saturday, December 18th. Quite some time had passed since those first layers of frost had showed up; it was nearing what most people would call "The Most Wonderful Time of The Year", also known as "Christmas" to most folk. It's a holiday of gift-giving, kindness and joy alike. Many joined together on this day every year to celebrate such a magnificent holiday; including our favorite band of heroes from Class 1-A.

'Class 1-A, Homeroom'

Our group of heroes were joined together in their homeroom waiting anxiously as it was the last period of the day before their holiday breaks started. Everyone sat impatiently in their seats; all they could think about was what could be done over the holidays, after all, they had an entire two weeks to themselves. There were so many things to do; so many in fact that a certain someone was whispering across to their desk-mate in a discussion about what exactly they hoped to do over the break.

"Jirou," Denki Kaminari whispered. "I'm torn between sledding or snowboarding."

Jirou shrugged before giving him a straight answer. "I'd go with snow-boarding."

"Really?" He replied with a smile, "Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. It-"

"Alright, quiet down everyone." Kaminari had been interrupted before he could finish his sentence. Their sensei, Aizawa had decided that with the school day coming to an end that he'd notify the classroom about the holidays before the bell rung.

"Now I know you're all dreading the time until the period ends, trust me I am as well." The school day was very close to coming to an end. "I have a few words to all of you before that time comes however," the students listened closely to his words; as they usually held importance. "First off I'd just like to remind you all to use your break-time wisely. It's not very long." He scanned around the class to make sure everyone was in fact listening. "Secondly," he continued. "Now that most of you have your provisional licenses," a quick glance was given to Shouto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo; students from 1-A who surprisingly did not receive their license during the dreadful provisional exam.

Both the students took a look around the room to ensure if anyone had been staring at them, Bakugo especially. Aizawa noticed this, "Anyway." He continued on. "Although you have much more freedom to use your quirks you should remember that your licenses are a privilege and can be revoked." He glanced around the room as a few select student's faces lit up with surprise. "That means no immaturely using your quirk." One last look around the classroom was given before ending his speech. "Alright," he said dryly. "Go have fun."

The bell rung; being almost perfectly synced up with the end of Aizawa's speech.

The students raised from their seats in excitement; the louder students clearly over-exaggerating how excited they were. With the final bell being rung that signified school was over and it was time for a holiday break. Happiness and relief filled the air. After a suspenseful and adventurous semester a well deserved winter-break filled nearly everyone's head. Izuku Midoriya stood from his seat; grabbing his book-bag and slowly headed for the hallway. He had been halfway there when he heard his name called out.

"Hey, Deku!" It was a cheery voice that he recognized very well. He turned to the source of this mystery voice only to be met with a familiar and bubbly brunette, Ochako Uraraka.

"O-oh, h-hey Uraraka." He spoke with little confidence as Uraraka was a person of interest to him. "W-what's up?"

"Oh! Nothing much." She said with a cheery tone, "I just needed to express how excited I am for winter break!" She stared at the emerald haired boy with interest. "Aren't you excited as well?" Uraraka excitingly asked.

"Well," Izuku replied; scratching the back of his head. "I am really excited, yeah. It's nice to have a bit of a break from all of the action." He paused for a moment, thinking about the events that had occurred from the beginning of school up until now. "To think that we've been so busy over these last few months.." Certain memories filled his head; he could remember the most striking ones such as defending a school facility from the villains, placing in the semi-finals during the U.A. Sports Festival, the training he did with a veteran hero; Gran Torino. He had come a long way in such a short-time.

"I know!" Uraraka interrupted; trying not to be rude. "It's a bit of a stress-or that we have been in quite a few dangerous situations lately." She sighed, a slight frown took place of her smile. "It's like we never get a break." There had been a seemingly endless amount of crisis that only transpired into operations on a much larger scale. The most recent of them being an investigation set out to arrest a deadly survivor of the yakuza affiliation known by his alias, Overhaul.

"Indeed, Uraraka." A taller student with dark hair, sporting glasses stood behind Uraraka. "However, while it is true that we may not catch a break often with all this chaos we must remember what we are." Iida stood confidently; fixing his glasses. "We are heroes in training. We must rise when we are needed."

"Yeah! After all, we have saved many people these last few months." Midoriya stated, nodding in agreement with Iida.

"That is correct. A hero's job can be very time-consuming." He shifted his view between his two friends. "The greatest satisfaction is having people look up to you in such a positive way for the generous deeds done for the world." Uraraka looked up at Iida; she was wondering if she had sounded selfish for bringing up a personal need. "However," Iida continued with his speech. "Uraraka is very right regarding her own well-being. The job of a hero can also be very stressful given the conditions you're placed under. I do agree though that our winter break is well deserved."

"Wow! You always know what to say Iida!" Ochako stated with a smile. "You're really confident with speeches about these types of things!" Iida took a bow of respect to her kind compliment.

"I respect such words coming from you Uraraka." He looked up from his bow and stood firm. "However, as class president it is my responsibility to make sure that we're all motivated to our acts of heroism. Whether it takes a speech or a push I shall and will do my best to shape this class into honest and efficient students."

"You're pretty committed to this role." Izuku said, scratching the back of his head. "And Uraraka's definitely right about your speeches." He nodded in agreement to the earlier statement. "You're not only a great hero, but you're also a determined class president."

"Yeah!" Ochako threw her fist into the air with excitement.

"Hehe.." Iida pushed his glasses upwards; looking down with a rather menacing smile. "As your friend I appreciate all of these thoughtful compliments." He spoke with a quiet tone, as if he was trying to act intimidating yet appreciative. The two stared at their class president with confusion. It was uncommon to see their classmate become so quiet and eerie; unless..

"However!" He suddenly raised his voice, directing his hand towards them; shifting his aim from the two. It was a signature pose Iida had usually done. "As your class president I cannot accept such kind words!" He seemed as if he had been about to start on another one of his overdone rants. "I-"

"H-hey," Izuku slowly said, interrupting Iida; he hadn't tried to be rude about it. "Where is everyone?" All three of them glanced around the room, no one excluding the three of them had been in the room. "Is everyone gone already?" Every seat in the room had been empty; not one student beside their trio remained at their desk.

The door to the classroom slid open, Aizawa stepped in. "Shouldn't you all be out enjoying the break?" He stared at them with deadpan eyes. "All your classmates have already left. Don't tell me the three of you are planning on handing me some kind of early Christmas present.." He groaned, clearly not enjoying the thought of a gift.

"N-no, sorry sir! W-we were just heading back to our dorms!" Iida took a bow of mercy towards his sensei.

"Well, alright." Aizawa turned to his desk that hadn't been cleaned off. There had been a few short stacks of loose papers that he needed to take back with him.

"M-Mr. Aizawa?" Asked Midoriya hesitantly. "I-is that a ton of work you have to do over the break?" He shifted his view, acknowledging the stacks of loose papers. "Does being a teacher here force you to complete so much work - even over holidays?"

Aizawa shook his head. "Only some of it is paper-work." He placed his hand on a much shorter stack than the others. "The rest is just some work-sheets you'll have to be doing when school starts back up." He placed his hand on another stack; there had been one left however.

"Hey, sir!" Uraraka called out to her sensei.

"What?" He replied with a dull tone.

She pointed at the first stack. "If the first one is paper-work," Her arm hastily steered to the next one. "and if that one is filled with assignments we'll be receiving after the break.." The aim of her finger had swerved to the last pile. "Then what are these for? There's nothing written on any of them." The last stack had just been a bunch of loose papers with nothing written upon them.

"Paper, for letters." Aizawa filled his student's curiosity.

"L-letters?!" All three of them shouted out with surprise. They had been taken aback by the thought of their sensei writing letters. It may have been due to the fact that he always seemed distant from other teachers; not the type of person who would reach out to people. It wasn't that he seemed lonely, but quite a bit of the time he was always seen by himself.

"It's a bit tedious.." he told them. "However, I have family that don't live relatively close. They aren't in the loop of technology and prefer stationary letters, so I do that instead of trying to teach even my parents how to get online.." Their reclusive sensei took a brisk gaze towards the empty papers. "Well," he turned back to the three who still hadn't left the classroom. "you should all head back to your dorms. I'll be cleaning up and leaving soon."

The gang of three bowed in respect and took their leave.U.A. Campus - After School'

The trio of friends strolled down a concrete pathway; heading towards their dorms. It was after school, the sun was soon to set which would bring the earlier nights that winter was known for. It was just one of those traits that winter had; a truly unique season that you wouldn't find on anywhere but Earth. However, while it certainly was a beautiful sight many could argue that winter became quite a hassle. Looking past the chilly days and long nights would grant anyone the ability to see & admire the true beauty of the world around them.

It was snowing softly as walking back from the school continued. The walk wasn't a very long one per say, so they took their time to gaze upon the scenery and talk among st themselves.

"It's snowing," Iida stated. "at this rate we could very well have the amount of snow doubled if not increased gradually by morning." He seemed a bit concerned about the growth.

"Do you really believe it's that much?" Izuku replied, curious. "It doesn't seem to be snowing that hard.." He stared up into the sky; focusing on the snow-fall.

"Indeed." Iida nodded, looking up as well. "For all we know the degree in which it's snowing has a likely probability to expand; after all it did seem to just start." He looked down from the evening sky and turned to Uraraka. "Wouldn't you agree, Uraraka?"

"..." There was no reply.

"Uraraka?" Izuku cast his eyes to her. She seemed to be staring off into the distance, cherishing the view. It seemed as if she didn't seem to hear Iida call out to her. He didn't know if speaking louder would work, so he put his hand out to grab her shoulder. This made him nervous, but he didn't want to shout at Uraraka; especially when she was walking right beside him. His hand was about to touch her shoulder when he suddenly stopped.

He had caught a glimpse of her face; that was enough to make him freeze for a moment. In the small gap of time from realizing she was unaware of Iida's question to reaching out towards her Izuku himself had seen a sight that rivaled the beauty of winter scenery.

In that moment, he saw Uraraka in an entirely new light. It was as if it was the day of the entrance exam all over again. When he first met her, all he could do was blush and stammer, she was adorable. But now? She was stunningly beautiful. More so than any moment he could recall.

Her hair was brushed back by the cold gust of wind that blew by, her cheeks were a light pink from the frosty air, her smile had warmed him even in weather such as this. All Izuku could do was be amazed; he nearly forgot Iida's request to gain her attention. He tapped her shoulder lightly, "U-uraraka?" shakily calling her name.

In a near instant she snapped out of her trance and turned to the green haired boy. "O-oh, sorry!" She quickly apologized. "I was a little distracted." Embarrassed, she rubbed the back of her head, hoping that she wouldn't come off as rude for not paying attention.

"O-oh, that's ok." He replied timidly, blushing. "Iida just wanted to know your opinion on the snow."

"Oh." She took a glance at Iida nodding in agreement; then looking up to the evening sky as she thought to herself. "Well.. I guess you could say it's snowing quite a bit." The bubbly girl acknowledged the pacing of this snow-fall. "I-" She was about to speak until she had been cut off by her classmate.

"Look out!" Midoriya warned her. In that instant she felt her legs not corresponding with her head about where to move. The young girl had lost balance and in turn was going to slip and fall to the ground. While not paying attention Ochaco had in fact walked over a strip of ice. She was startled and hadn't had enough time to use her quirk out of shock; her eyes closed as she braced herself for the fall.

"Gah!" She let out a cry of despair. Uraraka couldn't have believed she would have been so abnormally clumsy and slipped over a glistening patch of ice. It hadn't been the fact that she slipped just now that made her upset, but the fact that twice in a span of few minutes she hadn't been paying attention to her surroundings and speculated she would've made a fool of herself in front of her friends. To her the pain of standing up and facing them had to have been worse than the physical pain of falling to the ground.

Suddenly, Uraraka felt a set of hands grasp her by the waist. She opened her eyes slowly and saw that she hadn't in fact fell to the ground as she was supposed to. Her attention trailed up the set of arms that had caught her; to which she saw Izuku. His face was red and he looked very nervous at being in such a position. "D-Deku?" Ochako called out to Izuku, blushing.

"Y-you almost fell.." Izuku turned his head; he wasn't trying to make eye contact out of anxiousness. "S-sorry.. I just, well I didn't want you to f-fall.." The shy young man spoke in shaky sentences. Izuku didn't think he would be this close to Uraraka, even the thought of a situation like this would have normally made his face flush up from his fondness for her. "A-are you ok?" Midoriya finally asked.

Uraraka nodded slowly, she too was also red. Just like Midoriya had been fond of her, she had also taken a liking to him. Between the both of them laid feelings that had not yet been disclosed to one another. These feelings had developed only a few months ago, before winter had decided to spring from around the corner. While the two weren't seen flirting or hanging out very often it was transparent that there was something between the both of them. Iida stared at his two friends who were appeared frozen; to him there seemed to be an odd tension in the air. "Well," he finally spoke up. "I'm glad that you didn't end up falling." He took a look a glance at his now embarrassed classmate. Their class rep shifted his view to Izuku, "Also, Midoriya. That was a good save for your side. I am impressed; your reflexes there were quite quick." he expressed his relief for Uraraka. ".. We should continue on heading back to the dorms." The tall man gazed upwards at the sky, it was becoming late. "I believe it's going to become night soon."

"Y-yeah." They both replied.

Izuku let Uraraka stand; both of them turned away from each other, their faces flushed with red. The rest of the walk was rather short; the three of them didn't speak much. Izuku and Ochako avoided eye contact, with one catching glimpses of the other, but never having direct contact. It could've very well been because of their semi-romantic exchange between one another that caused such an awkward tension. After all of this occurred, the trio had finally made their way to the dorm; with it being ever so close to doors to 1-A's dorm opened; the three walked in.

'1-A Dormitory'

"Shut up!" As soon as they entered the dorm there was yelling; the three of them had spot on theories of who could be shouting so loudly. The source of the noise was coming from the lounge in the lobby, a few of their classmates had been sitting around with the exception of one of them standing with a pose that could only be viewed as intimidation. This student had a frightening face of fury. He was glancing around at the group of students; some were petrified in fear while others were trying to hold back their laughter at his outburst. This young man's name was Katsuki Bakugo, known to some as the embodiment of anger. Iida ran over and instantly started to rant towards Bakugo about his volume. "You shouldn't be yelling! We're inside and shouldn't be speaking at such a level like you are! Haven't you heard of anything called inside voices?!" Bakugo became quite annoyed after Iida started scolding him; their personalities contrasted to a great degree. A rule advocate who was over the top polite and formal to everyone he met did not sit well with a loud mouthed & vulgar hot-head who was easily angered.

"Seriously, shut the hell up already!" Bakugo yelled at Iida in a reply to his rant. "I don't need to be lectured as soon as I'm free from class." One of the many things Bakugo had a disliking to was someone trying to control what he was saying or doing; he viewed himself as a free man who made his own choices. While that may have been true, Bakugo's choices more often than not landed him or his classmates in the midst of dealing with a difficult situation.

"You both are yelling," Tsuyu Asui, the frog girl stated. "It's a little annoying."

"W-well, I was just trying to assert authority here." Iida said, pushing his glasses up in embarrassment. He didn't mean to be an annoyance nor did he mean to break any rules either; he just wanted Bakugo to calm down.

"Tch," Bakugo scoffed. "Just leave me alone and maybe I won't yell so damn much.." He glanced at Iida before taking a seat on the couch. Izuku and Ochako decided that now was a better time to take a seat rather than having to sit and watch Bakugo explode in his infantile rage. "Besides, I wouldn't be shouting if 'Brain-Dead' over here didn't insult me!" He took his arm and pointed at Denki who was laying on the couch across from him; playing a hand-held video game.

"Dude," Kaminari replied, seeming focused on his game. "I just said that you can act like the Grinch sometimes." As predicted by everyone else, Bakugo stood once more and clenched his fist.

"Don't talk about me like that you freakin' dumb ass!" Bakugo had shouted once more; louder than before. "The Grinch is just some green dweeb who dresses up like an old man and steals from kids."

"You did forget that he does it out of anger." Kirishima joined in, "Kind of like you." With that Bakugo turned and gave his close friend a dead-eyed glare. "Hey, man!" The crimson boy expressed in defense. "There's no need to look at me like that." He suddenly became a little nervous; hoping that his profane pal wouldn't end up trying to pick a fight with him. "It's pretty manly to have an attitude like that though." Bakugo had become a bit calmer after hearing this, which in turn relieved Eijiro. "You let nothing take you down."Kirishima's words made Bakugo grow a smug grin on his face, ironically enough resembling the grinch's own smile.

"You're right." The prideful young man crossed his arms; he felt victorious. "Nothing is going to take me down.. Especially not Tazer-Kid over here."

"Hey.." Kaminari said, sounding offended. "Even though I act a bit dumb I'm still pretty cool, right guys?" The electric blonde looked up from his game; he was looking around the lounge with clear insecurity about how he was viewed to his peers. "R-right.. Guys?"

"You're pretty cool Kaminari." Midoriya spoke up, wanting to make his friend feel better about himself. The rest of the room fell silent as most of them didn't know what to think of Kaminari. Of course he had his cool moments, he was a laid back man, and his quirk could be deemed as 'cool', but there had been times where he didn't live up to expectations.

"Of course!" Iida said, raising his voice. "We're all equal here. I am ashamed of those that kept silent." The positive and responsible man gazed around at his classmates that had kept silent. "Shouldn't we all be making Kaminari more self-assured about himself?!"

"Iida, you're shouting again." Tsuyu reminded him, to which Iida quickly apologized for.

"Nah, it's fine guys. Thanks though." Kaminari smiled, returning back to his game. The mood lightened as a few minutes passed by, with all of them exchanging conversation about typical teen things like homework and how this last day had gone by at such a slow pace. Everyone was happy to finally kick back and sit around without the stress of school in sight.

After a few minutes, Mina Ashido came down from her room and joined in on the conversation; taking a seat by Tsuyu. "Heyyy!" The pink girl said with a jolly smile. "What's up?"

"Eh, nothing much." Tsuyu replied, turning to Mina. "Just talking about the break."

"Eee!" Mina let out with a squeal. "I'm so happy because it's almost Christmas and I just love it! We can do so many things like.." She started to list off winter activities. "Building a snowman, make snow angels, going sledding,"

"Or snowboarding!" Kaminari suddenly joined in, interrupting her.

"Yeah! We can do so mu-" Mina halted; not continuing her train of thought. Her eyes widened and she was smiling like a child on Christmas morning. "Tsu!" The enthusiastic 'alien queen' called out.

"Yeah?" Tsuyu asked, confused by her bizarre cutoff.

"I've got this great idea- hey, everyone!" Mina stood; everyone else who had been chatting stopped and directed their attention to their excited classmate. "I just had the greatest idea..!" She looked around, aware that there were only a few of them in the lobby. "But, first we need everyone here!"

And with that, Class 1-A was gathered to the first floor. This idea that their peppy classmate had came up with would kick off the start to winter break, which would lead into the events that lead up to Christmas Day. What was this idea though? We will surely find out soon enough!
