The seating chart had eaten up nearly three hours of his life now. There was just no good place for Joke to sit, where she could learn, and not distract the entire class because he knows how she works and there was no way that woman was not going to be sitting there laughing at some word he said five minutes ago and pretty soon the whole class was going to be laughing at him simply because he said the word duty!

He let out a long groan sinking into his chair and tapping his pencil against his head. So far he had determined that she would be sitting in the back right corner, where her influence would be the most contained. At first, he thought about having Shoto and Tenya flanking her, bother of them were the no-nonsense type, but that wouldn't be fair for either of them, and it was no doubt that her reach would leak out in the diagonal as well.

He thought about putting Momo into that seat, but that was crushed when he received a text covered with Emoji's and written in all caps from a number he didn't recognize. "YO! :D ERASAAAA! MOMO :Cat: GOT ME A :Phone: AND THIS SWEET CAP! CHECK IT!" followed by a picture of Joke, Momo, and several other of his female students posing for a picture with Joke in the center wearing a red hat that said "GET SMOKED" in yellow letters.

The infection has already begun.

That lead to putting all the troublemakers in one corner. It wouldn't stay in the corner. And many of them were still on their way to being excellent heroes. "Maybe I should just make her sit in the hallway? And leave the door open."

It was all her fault, to begin with, why on earth did she even show up unannounced? Even if he did allow Eri to use her quirk on Mirio without letting others know, it was no reason to punish him with having to deal with Joke as a teenager. He barely survived her as an adult. Her being an outstanding hero that had actually ranked higher than him before she became a teacher not withstanding.

A knock came from his door followed by the slow opening as the blonde haired, sunken face of Toshinori peered into his room. "Yo! Shota, I understand we have a new student?" The door opened further to reveal a tray of freshly brewed tea. "I also brought tea, some of the students were worried about your mumbling."

After years of knowing him, it was still odd that the hero famed as All Might, had a hobby of brewing tea and preparing bento boxes like a housewife. The tea looked good, and his mouth was dry. "Sure, come on in. Maybe you can help me figure out where to sit her so she won't disrupt the whole class."

"Oh, so you do know her? Some of the students were mumbling about Ms. Joke? Is it one of her relatives?" He placed the tray down and sat down, groaning a bit like an old man.

Joke didn't have any relatives, which was why for the longest time he was her emergency contact. Thankfully that never came to matter. "That is Emi, she got turned into a teenager because of Eri's quirk, and now The Principal has decided to put her in my class."

No doubt as punishment.

"Oh, oh my," Toshinori took a sip of his tea. "Aside from her being a student once again, what's the problem? I thought that you and Emi had a good relationship."

Why did everybody have to use that word? Relationship, they just worked near each other and both of their quirks were great at take downs. They never dated, they were barely friends. Joke just had a terrible sense of humor. Took a week to explain to his mother that the rumors weren't true. "That's exactly why I'm so worried about this, I know Joke, there's no doubt in my mind that she's going to drive me crazy, she's probably going to make everybody around her fail with her anticits," He drummed his fingers along the tea cup, relishing in its warmth, his voice was low and even, he didn't want any of his frustraction to slip past. "Not to mention I doubt that she'd even pay attention to a single word I have to say."

"Sounds like you're worried about her," Toshinori smiled into his cup. "I believe the children would say that you're a tsundere."

"I," He ground his teeth glaring at the steam that wafted from the tea, filling his room with a pleasant earthy aroma. This was why he liked cats. "Am, not a Tsundere. You didn't have to deal with her, you don't know what she's like."

"Forgive me for saying this, but neither do you."

He looked Toshinori in the eyes, he was looking more tired of late, but his heroic spark still shined, and he was forging it bit by bit, into the spark of a mentor. Even if he could no longer be the pillar of peace and justice he still strived to take them there. But that fact did not quell the burst of anger that had his hands shaking. "What do you mean?"

This wasn't helpful.

"Well, this isn't the Ms. Joke you know. This is her as a student, one that got reccomended into this school, graduated, and became a wonderful pro-hero." All Might sat in front of him, his body once more like the number one pro hero. "She is no longer Ms. Joke, rather, she is Emi, our newest student, and she needs your guidance as much as any of the others." He coughed, returning back to his regular emaciated form. "So give her the benefit of the doubt and see how she acts in class before you start fretting over such little things."

He wasn't wrong. Running a hand through his hair once more he slid back into his chair, tasting the earty tea that Toshinori had made, it needed more suger. A few more sips, and a few more breaths, and he let the frustration slip. Toshinori was right, he was worried about Joke more than he would admit, and he didn't know who she was now. "I still need to find a good seat for her, just in case."

"Oh, that's simple!" He was All Might again, giving a mighty thumbs up. "Sit her next to Young Midoriya!"

"Why?" It wasn't a bad idea, Izuku did well in class, rarely caused trouble unless Katsuki was involved, and would often get so absorbed in his own thoughts that he'd ignore Joke's jokes. "Please tell me you're not trying to get them into a realtionship?"

"Not at all!" All Might waved the gesture away, then coughed and was back to normal. "I meerly noticed that he was assisting her with furniture, and the two seem to get along well, and well."

"Well what?"

Toshinori gave a pleasant smile that held nothing back. "Her smile reminds me of my Master's."

She flopped onto her bed, it wasn't the softest thing she'd ever slept on, but it was definatly up there. That and her closet was ridcuously full! There was as many clothes as there were hangers for once! It was amazing! She could go at least two weeks without having to do laundry, even more once she got her school uniforms. So far, the future was awesome! It probably help that she made friends with someone that loved to shop and had a silly amount of spending money.

Not that she was materialistic! But this was the most stuff she ever had!

A loud fart ripped through her room and her butt vibrated. A burst of laugh escaped her and she fished around for her phone. "Bahah! I love this thing!" She looked at it, opening and closing the shell. Right, she had no idea how to use this thing! "Hey Izuku! How do I do the thing?"

She hopped from her bed, over to the desk that Izuku had helped her bring up, and the computer that he was 'setting up' for her. Apparently all the students got a computer! The future was so amazing!

"How did you figure out how to change the ring tone to a fart, but you don't know how to answer a text?" He blinked, staring at the phone.

"Never underestimate my ability to make something hilarious, even if I don't know what to do!" It was an accident that she found it in the first place. Her chest touched Izuku's shoulder when she moved to give him access to the phone. "Now, what button do I press to see the things."

He instantly got all tense, and his face turned red, yep, she made the right choice teasing this guy. The other guys either tried to flirt with her - barf -, or were just no fun, somewhere even just angry.

Izuku swallowed, and moved a shaky hand towards the phone, being way to careful not to touch hers. Naturally she decieded to let her thumb slip and brush against his hand. He almost jumped. "Okay," He pointed at some of the buttons. "So you just press this button to bring up the menu, then this one to select messages and the most recent one should be on the top. It's from, someone call Ms. Martian?"

"Oh, that's Mina! What's she saying?" She leaned in, moving her face close enough that their cheeks could touch.

"Just press the middle button!" Izuku half stammered turning his oh so very red face away from hers, his eyes kept darting between her and the computer.

She did that, and the screen changed. "Hey! It worked! Let's see, Oh!" She coughed, trying to surpress her smile, she backed away so that Izuku couldn't get a peak at her phone. "Woah! No way! Izuku! Did you know that Mina has a giant crush on you!"

"What!" He shot from the seat so fast it spun, eyes wide, face so much redder than before. "She does?"

"Bwhahah! That's the kind of reaction I was hoping for!" She fell back onto her bed laughing. It stopped being as funny when she saw Izuku's face, it wasn't really anger, or sadness. But it also wasn't happy. "I'm sorry Izuku, that was mean." She hopped back over to him. "No hard feelings right?"

"Right," He gave a soft chuckle that was the kind she hated. The self-pitty kind. There was nothing funny about that. "I should have known better."

"Hey now," She elbowed him in the stomach. "Don't be like that! You've got that whole super sweet, buff muscle guy vibe going on, like you're an awesome dude, dude!"

He gave a snort. "Wow, I don't think I've heard anyone say dude in a while."

"That's cause people don't have my class, but really. I mean it." She poked him in the arm. "Don't sell yourself short, there's probably a dozen girls in this school that would jump at the chance to date you!"

"Then why not you." Somehow despite the stammering he managed to give her one of the best kinds of smiles. The joking kind! He squared his shoulders and stuck out his tongue. "Have a taste of your own medicine."

"Bwahah!" She kicked her legs rolling on her bed. "That's the spirit! Now you're getting the hang of it! But quicker next time! We can get a bit going and we can totally play off each other! I'll make you my Mr. Punchline yet!"

"Mr. Punchline?" Izuku's face scrunched up again, his face still red from his terrible - in a good way - joke.

"Oh, that's what our dou names are going to be! Ms. Joke! And Mr. Punchline! You see I use my quirk, and awesome comedic skills, then bam! You come in and punch them, its an invinsible combo!" She hopped up, flexing one arm in his direction, with extra eyebrow wiggles. "Besides, it's not like you'd be doing all the heavy lifting!"

Izuku opened his mouth and closed, it blinking at her.

"Aww, don't tell me I've already left you speachless with my genius! I haven't even done my stand up routine yet." It was still in the works!

"No, I was just thinking about something else. It's really amazing how you turned laughter into a weapon." He shifted on his feet, and scratched at the back of his head. "Anyways, I actually should get back to my dorm, it's almost curfew. I don't want to get you in trouble with Aizawa-sensei before your first day, so I'll show you how to use the computer more after class I guess?"

"I can use a computer." She used the ones at the public library before to steal some terrible jokes. "Phones are just new, and they don't have a mouse…. I guess because they couldn't CATch one."

A well deserved snort came from Izuku. "Good night Emi, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Try not to dream about me!" She flopped on her bed, so that she could watch him leave, her feet kicking at her pillow. His freckles really stood out when he blushed. He waved goodbye, and closed the door behind him.

And then she was bored. It was the first time since she appeared in the future that she was actually alone. She bolted for the door. "Hey wait!"

She rounded the corner and caught Izuku on his way down the stares. She tossed her phone at him. That might not have been the best idea, they were probably expensive and fragile. Still he caught it, "Put your number in that thing so I can text you random jokes in the middle of the night."

AN: Wanted to give some Eraser Head point of view. And set some stuff up. Anyways! I hope you enjoy these two dorks doing stuff! Until next chapter!
