Koopa began to reminisce about how often his daughter talked about her day during breakfast, the general frustrations she had with the chaos constantly growing, and her eventually warming up to it. It made him shed a tear knowing she'll grow up to be such a ruthless overload. But now he was reminded of the second most frustrating source of annoyance she's told him about...love rivals between her companions.

"So Ms Midoriya, do you happen to be free this weekend? I would like to have a conversation." Henri asked.

"Come now, this weekend should be celebrated with friends, that means I should come over with little Alice for a play date." Amaryllis spoke with a sparking glare.

"No, I'm certain that she should spend time with her son. The Misfits are certain to throw a celebration afterwards, and they need more than one reasonable adult to look over them." Kalego looked three seconds away from forming Cerberus.

"Come now, there's no need to fight." Inko spoke, oblivious to the implications. "I'm sure there's something we can all do later."

"Yes, we should celebrate with food and music!" Valac cheered. "Don't worry, I'll provide both!

"Absolutely, just us three ladies, a girls party." Amaryllis smirked.

"... Is this what it's like for Gaako … to be the sensible one?" He muttered.

"I've seen enough interactions between both groups to confirm yes." Peach groaned. "All that effort I was putting in to grab Azazel's attention, and Inko pulled him in without even trying. I can't believe I'm considering going to my NIECE for advice."

"You always had a thing for red didn't you." Koopa deadpanned.

"What can I say, it's a sexy color." Peach shrugged. "Though it seems Eiko's caught a thing for green. She's friends with your daughter and just wooed Izuku. Luigi never had this much luck. He'd be screaming with envy if he saw that."

"Actually he ended up with Daisy."

"Really now?" Peach seemed genuinely surprised.

"It's kind of abusive, but he gets off on that at this point." He pitied the man. More fit and athletic than his nemesis, yet never got the chance to shine. "This is fun, right? Hanging out with a group again?"

"Well you're not kidnapping again, so that's a start." Come on, that was their little romantic dance! "It at least makes the kids happy...if a bit conflicted if they have to see THIS mess constantly." She pointed back to the four-way battle for Midoriya.

"I believe that a father should spend time with their children, and aren't you going to spend it with your daughter and her student council?" Kalego asked Henri.

"I was merely offering a job, and I wanted her to scope out the position for herself." Hah, like that was his only intent. Probably had a whole dinner planned out. "Besides, my daughter and I are bonding quite well together right now...she's gone isn't she?"

"Hm, so much for the doting father. Can't even keep track of your own kid." Come on now, Asmodeus, that's a low blow even for him.

"You know what, I'm just going to … let you all talk this out." Inko slid out of the conversation/bonfire and made her way over to them. "What's their problem?"

"I dunno, seems pointless in my opinion." It was sad when you were as oblivious as a Valac.

Ameri walked over to the Magical Apparatus Battler. "Izzy, could we talk?" She approached her reading partner, who was talking...to Oni….to the girl that just sung her confession on a stage! "Alone, please?"

"Oh, um, sure." He nodded as he got up, ignoring the stares as he walked with her. "What did you want to talk about?"

"Oni...On Eiko's song." She couldn't let her jealousy overwhelm her right now. She needed to keep it in. "It...was very moving. And heartbreaking. The...thought of you going so far just...just really hurts...to see…"

"Kinda already had a breakdown about it." Izzy injected. "Thankfully the Misfits helped, kinda hard to comprehend someone actually likes me, let alone the fact I keep driving myself into graves."

He...he actually KNEW! That little hussy actually broke through that thick skull of his!? How dangerous was this woman!? She was going to wring her neck in and…."I'm...happy you finally realize how much you're worth to us. After Walter Park I...I was afraid you'd keep hurting yourself over and over. A bleeding heart bleeds out eventually."

"I mean kinda, I still want to save people no matter the cost but … I want to leave it to others too, instead of just holding onto it." Huh. "I'm...I'm not the strongest, but I gather my power from others. I..I have support whether or not I have magic. I want to be able to be with you, I want to be able to live with all of you...so...so I'm not going to die. I promise you, I won't die."

Ameri stared at him, gently resting her hand on his head as she leaned down. "I'll hold you to that promise, you're very special to me after all." She then held him up slightly, whispering in his ear. "I'm your rock. The rock of the Demon King."

They were both taken out of the moment with the sound of a snapping photograph. "Sorry! Don't mind me! Just wanted to capture the moment!" Oni, you bitch!

"Ah, Eiko, um." Izzy blushed wildy. "This isn't what it looks like!" Why couldn't it be!?

"I know, you're just oblivious that way." She began walking away as Izzy paused.

"Oblivious … dense ...ah...Ameri…" Izzy looked at her with wide eyes. "Ah...have we been dating this entire time?"

"I mean … I kinda told my dad … that our hang outs are dates …" They were now both twitching with red faces.

"I've...I've been dating a girl for nearly the whole school year…" And Izzy looked like he was going to pass out again. Damn it, Oni! You won't get away with your vile machinations!

Maybe Elzabetta/Lied bonding, getting mentally ready together

"Yo Azz, get your ass in gear, Izuku just realized Ameri likes him." H1 spoke to PH3.

"It's just going to be that kind of day isn't it?" PH3 muttered, getting up with a stretch. "Well, I'll get him some water, and a slap to the face. He's going to need both."

"Damn that bastard, not starting a harem my ass!" PH7 shouted. "I bet he's been planning this since the start."

"Well maybe not at first … now I'm not so sure." PH6 shrugged. "Regardless, I'm winning this bet. We really need to double check the chart after this."

"I'm holding out for Clara Valac, friendship and chaos run deep between both of them." PH5 spoke. "The power of friendship will win out in the end."

"I'm going to give Izuku-kins a gift!" Valac seemed unphased by the whole thing. Good on her.

"What about you, Lied?" She asked H1. "Anyone you have in mind?"

"Oh um, I mean, kinda." He weakly said. "There's one girl, but she's into another guy." That bitch. She needed to find out who this was and slap her silly. "Guess it's just not in the cards for me. I know a bad hand when I see it." H1 gave a weak chuckle.

"Dude, that's an Izuku laugh." PCC spoke out. "That's not a healthy thing to have."

"It's cool though, this is nowhere near Izuku's level of problems, and it won't affect my performance, I promise." PCA gave H1 a critical glare.

"Couldn't you have your confession in an empty room or something?" PCA looked to PCB with a scowl.

"Hey, I didn't mean too! I'm just glad that there's actually a chance now!" PCB gleamed. "And I'm one step closer to that three-way! Ameri-chan is already so close to him! Just got to remind her that I have him first."

"I seriously doubt that's the problem with the situation Eiko." PCC deadpanned.

Elizabetta turned back to H1. "You should look around, I think there might be another girl that likes you even if the one you like doesn't return it." He seemed confused, looking around before landing on PCB.

"Oh no, Eiko's just a friend, more of a sister really. Better than the one I was born with." Okay, that was reassuring, but that wasn't what she was going for. "I'm not mad. The girl I like is gorgeous, but she has her sights on almost everybody around her. I, it might sound selfish, but I don't want anyone else to look at her. I want her to notice me, and me only."

Now that was some TRUE romance. She could feel herself warm up, internally jealous but congratulating the girl he liked all the same. The whore she now apparently hard to compete with. Who does this floozy think they are?

"Alright guys, our times are up." PCA spoke. "Onto the back stage, now."

"Is Izuku-kins going to be alright?" Right, Little Brother 1 was still dealing with his romantic problems.

"It's okay, I'm ready." LB1 had a bright red handprint on his face, but he looked as determined as ever.

"For the love of-Elizabetta, get the blush." PCA looked like a nervous wreck, maybe a massage later would help. "You better be ready, Izuku."

"I will be." LB1 chuckled. "I...I feel good."

Cuppa blinked for a second as the class left. "... Does anyone remember what we just saw?"

"Nothing." Meimei replied.

"It was a drama based on some obscure fake literature by a 'human' that mythology refers to as 'shakespeare'." Amducsias could always count on you for stuff like that. "So overdramatic. Just two young idiots killing themselves for no reason. We already covered this topic, so extra points were deducted for unoriginality."

Right. Now it made sense why no one was paying attention. "Well that just leaves one group left … and you can hear the excitement right?" She asked them, the energy in the air almost sparking with energy fizzed up, feet stomping with anticipation.

"The finale of the Music Festival has to really compete with most of the competition." Meimei agreed. "Mainly the first performance."

"I still stand that four is the highest grade I'll give today." Amaducsias rolled his eyes, but he couldn't stop paying attention to the crowd. "So much anticipation..their hearts are all roaring with excitement and happiness. Why?"

"Lets go Misfits!"

"Sabro, sign my face!"

"We're going to see dancing right? They're not the type of people to slouch on physical activity."

"MIlord Picero, grace us with your beauty once more!"

"Reveal to us the cold beauty of yourself, Beast Queen!"

"Calamity Cult for Life!

"Maniacs forever!"

"Honor Student!

"Danger-junkie!"

"Deku!"

"The Young Kings! The Game Prince, sidekick of the great one!"

"One For All! Hero of Walter Park!"

"Love Bunny!"

"So many nicknames." Cuppa chuckled. "Let's see if he lives up to them." The other two silently nodded as Dalton came to the stage

"Now then, for the finale, the Class of Misfits prese-" Dalton was cut off by a blond falling out from behind the curtains. Such amature work, did they really think they could win with trips like tha-

"Big Sis is gone!" … Not a great start.
