"As part of my upbringing when I was young, I developed an interest in the piano," said Yaomomo. "Could that be useful?"
"Cool! So you should play the keyboard, Yaomomo!" Ashido exclaimed.
"Synth sounds are a part of club music that we can't do without," I smiled at her. "You're a real help, Yaomomo!"
Yaomomo flushed and put her fists together, smiling. "I'll do my best!"
"Huhhh?" Said Ashido, tugging on her jacket. "Didn't we talk about you being part of the girls' dance squad?! But I forgive you cuz you're so cute!"
"I'll play bass," said Jirou. "So we just need guitar and vocals. Everyone else can be dancers?"
"Hm," Iida said, "I fear that that alone may not be enough."
"How about that crazy video we saw?" Said Todoroki. We could…"
"Gotta have some props!" Cried Ashido.
"Yeah, that," Todoroki trailed off. Ashido ran to the laptop and opened up a YouTube video. "Props? Like this!" She showed us a particularly glittering video. "Sparks and streamers and disco ball! We need this kinda stuff if we wanna create an atmosphere!"
Hagakure jumped in. "Let's make it like a Disneyland parade!"
"And it's another way for others to participate!" Added Ashido. "So, like, like, Uraraka could make Todoroki and Kirishima float, right?! And then Kirishima can chop up Todoroki's ice! And if Aoyama acts as our disco ball, the sparkly ice'll look like stardust as it falls! I call it team snowmen! Like a shave ice machine! Remember those hero teams I was talking about?"
"Excellent idea!" Iida nodded. "Adding a bit of flair is the perfect way to get the room going!"
"I am the disco ball?" Said Aoyama, then nodded and pointed. "C'est bon!"
"We'll also need someone to work the whole production behind the scenes."
The door opened and the work study students returned. "NO more extra lessons, since we're finally caught up! I'm so glad we get to be a part of the planning!"
""Huh?" Said Uraraka as we told them the plan so far. "Won't you be singing, Jiro?"
"No," I shook my head. "I'm totally not -"
"I should sing!" Mineta interrupted. "Singers get all the chicks!"
"I can be the disco ball and sing as well," said Aoyama.
"Yo! I can't play an instrument to save my life, but I know I've got a great voice!" Said Kirishima, and then auditioned. "BROTHERHOOD BETWEEN DUDES, SEIZE IT WITH ALL YOU'VE GOT -"
"Wrong genre!"
"AOIJO4UOUOIAHRITH" Mineta yelled.
"You're just screaming.
"LAAAAAA!" Sang Aoyama in a-
"Falsetto!"
"I think you should sing, Jirou!" Said Hagakure. "When you were teaching us up in your room, your singing was super duper cool!"
"C'mon, stop making things harder than they already are!" I told her. "You're making this difficult."
"Aww, just do it!" Said Hagakure, pushing a microphone towards me.
"Ignoring our soulful cries, what the heck!" Said Mineta.
"I wanna hear Jirou sing, just a little!" Said Kirishima.
I took up the mic, and began and went with,
"You know everyone wants to sparkle
Like the stars in the night sky
In this wondrous place filled with all our dreams
I've been wishing for
Waiting for the chance…."
Everyone screamed and cheered and I felt flustered again.
"My ears died and went to heaven thanks to your husky, sultry voice!" Cried Ashido as we all cheered.
"It's unanimous!"
I said, my face hot, "Great, with that out of the way we need guitarists, preferably two!"
"Me, me!" Said Kaminari. "Playing instruments is the coolest!"
"Let me do it!" Said Mineta.
"I'd probably break the stringers," lamented Kirishima.
"You really up for this? Are you ready to kill on stage?!" Snapped Bakugou.
"Yup yup, sure am!" Said Kaminari. "The guitar's the shining star of any band!"
He did quite well. Mineta, on the other hand, couldn't even reach the strings.
"I guess I'll dance, then!" Said Sato.
"Me too! I can move pretty well with my tail," said Ojiro.
"And I'll use my tape to help with the set-up," said Hero.
The guitar was picked up by another - and to our surprise, Tokoyami played wonderfully.
"Tokoyami!?"
"What a melancholy riff!"
"You can play? Why didn'tcha speak up!?"
"I set aside the axe after the F-chord defeated me. Mineta, if your journey ends here I'll strum enough for the two of us."
And so on, until 1 am.
"Everyone's been assigned a role!" Iida cried at last.
The Band was me, Kaminari, Tokoyami, Bakugou and Yaomomo. Todoroki, Sero, Kirishima, Aoyama and KOda were on the stage crew. The rest of the class were the dance squad.
