Fuku was just peacefully drawing in her room when suddenly she heard a familiar voice in her head.
Hello dear sister! Yonda greeted from somewhere outside the room.
"Ah!" Fuku jumped in her seat for a second before quickly realizing it was just Yonda. Yonda! Give me a warning before you do that! Knock or something!
My apologies. But I wanted to ask you for a favor. Yonda said. You see, as you might have heard, I've made some…mistakes. And I've ended up hurting some people. And I'd like to apologize for it.
You mean to Ochaco? Fuku asked. I mean…I guess I could help you. But what do you need my help for?
Well, I can't just apologize. I have to show her that I'm actually sorry. And the best way to convey that is with a gift. A handmade gift. Something that requires a lot of effort. Yonda explained. So, after a long, long deliberation. I've decided that strawberry ice cream cake is the best option. And naturally, I'll need your help for that.
I see. Alright. When do you want to start? Fuku asked.

"Sorry for calling you here on such short notice," Izuku said, as he and Ochaco hung out in his office again.
"It's ok," Ochaco said. Blushing a bit. It was abnormal for Izuku to call her. Normally she came over on her own accord.
And it was entirely Mina's fault that her head was swimming with certain thoughts as to why he might have done that.
"So, as for the reason I called you here. Someone has something they'd like to give you." Izuku said.
The door opened up, and Yonda came in, with a small cart, with a cake on top of it.
The cake was decorated to look like the night sky. Being primarily purple, with white stars on it.
"Oh." Ochaco stared at the cake in surprise.
Yonda presented the cake to Ochaco and bowed. I am sincerely sorry about that incident with Bakugo. I was so caught up in trying to hurt that blonde chihuahua that I ended up getting you injured. And I could have gotten you into trouble at school. And that was wrong of me. I endeavor to be better in the future. In the meantime, please accept this strawberry ice cream cake.
Oh wow, I think she's actually serious. Did you make this yourself? Ochaco asked.
Correct! I asked Fuku for help, but she just taught me how to make it, she didn't actually make any part of this cake. Yonda explained. This cake was 100% my own effort. I hope the taste will reflect how sorry I am.
You're not gonna apologize for the Todoroki incident? Ochaco asked.
To be honest, I'm not all that sorry about that still. Yonda admitted. Still probably saved that guy's life, so I still think I did good. Although admittedly, perhaps I could have tried a bit harder to make the outcome less…difficult to deal with. But that's about all you're genuinely getting from me.
Izuku face palmed.
Ochaco shook her head and sighed. Well, it's more than I thought I'd get. And I guess that means your apology for the Bakugo thing is the real deal. In that case, I accept your apology. And your cake.

Izuku sat at his desk, waiting in the classroom for Kioku.
Today he was going to give her a test. Not in math, or history, or anything like that. But in business.
Now giving a six-year-old a test like that. Might seem like madness, but Kioku's intelligence was far, far ahead of your average six-year-old.
Likely because of her quirk, Kioku's intelligence and memory capacity were incredible, meaning he only had to tell her something once, make sure she understood, and she'd get it.
Honestly, if you met her now, you'd be convinced she had an intelligence-boosting quirk.
Give it a few years, and Izuku was considering giving her legitimate work. Like she requested.
"Hmmm. It's not like her to be late." Izuku said as he looked up at the clock.
Then a moment later, the door opened, and Kioku ran in. Looking rather different.
Her hair was styled into a ponytail, and she now wore an adorable businessgirl outfit. With a white skirt, a dress shirt and tie, black dress shoes, and fake glasses.
"S-Sorry I'm late." Kioku apologized as she caught her breath. "I was getting this new outfit from Shiruku, and I lost track of time for a minute! Please forgive this grave error father!"
Kioku had started changing the way she spoke and acted ever since she started studying how to manage the Foundation. Trying to come off as more intelligent and mature, was likely the reason for the outfit change. Even going so far as to call him father instead of dad or daddy, like she used to.
"It's alright, just be a bit more mindful. As ridiculous as it might seem, some people will take you being a minute late, as some kind of slight against them." Izuku sighed, shaking his head. "Honestly, you should strive to be early rather than on time. It will make life far easier."
"Yes sir." Kioku nodded. "I'm ready to take the test now. Expect perfect results."
"With your best efforts, I'd expect no less." Izuku smiled and patted Kioku on the head.

Finally, that's over with. Yonda yawned, as she walked into the backyard, intending to take a nap by the pool. She'd just finished giving Ochaco her cake, and now she just wanted to relax.
However, she quickly noticed that the pool was already quite occupied.
Kei, Otoko, Sansan, and Himiko were already at the pool, having the time of their lives splashing around and swimming and stuff.
Yonda sighed. Guess I'll just take a nap in the greenhouse or something.
They look like they're having so much fun. Thought a familiar gloomy voice.
Yonda looked over the source of the thought and saw Tenko hiding nearby. Finally! I've been waiting forever!
Tenko's negative attitude and thoughts had naturally not sat well with Yonda. Which naturally meant she had to do something about it. There couldn't be misery at the Midoriya Household. At least not for anyone but their enemies.
Her first thought was to make use of the mood candies, to alter his mood, and then talk him into playing with the others. Once he started having fun, he'd start to move past the whole. My entire family is dead but they weren't a very good family for the most part so I don't know how to feel about this, thing.
But, she'd sworn that she would try to be a better person, and part of that was respecting people enough not to drug them without their consent. Even if she didn't see a huge problem with it.
Plus, after thinking about it a bit more, in the odd chance he found out about what she'd done, he might regress a bit and close up in his room more, or something. Although she really doubted he'd find out if she didn't tell anyone. But things didn't always go as she planned, much as she loathed to admit.
So her next idea was to tell him about the candies and give them to him. However, if she did that he might try to keep using the candies, forming an addiction, which was less than ideal.
And so after a bit more thinking, she managed to come up with a plan, which was entirely morally sound.
She'd simply sneak videos of all the kids having fun, into his room, hoped he watched them, and then hoped he'd try to get a closer look.
This was far from a solid plan, but it was one she could execute with little cost, and she could always think of another plan.
Fortunately, she didn't need to, and Tenko was doing exactly what she wanted.
After sending Shiruku a quick text, Yonda went up behind him. Making sure that escaping back into the house would be difficult.
Hello there. Yonda greeted with a big smile.
"Ah!" Tenko jumped up in shock, turning around to see Yonda there. "Who are you!?"
I must inform you that I can't hear you. I'm deaf. Yonda told him. But I can hear your thoughts.
Oh…that's kinda scary. Tenko thought.
Sure is, anyway. It seems like you really wanted to join in on the fun over there. Yonda said. Why don't you? If you're worried about them not wanting you, you're sorely mistaken. Those lot love having people around and would accept you with open arms. Trust me, I can read their minds.
I don't know. Tenko thought. Shuffling a bit. I mean it does look like fun. I've never been to a pool before. B-But I don't have any swim trunks.
Hey Yonda I brought the swim trunks you asked for. Shiruku said to her as she ran up to the two of them. "Oh! You're that kid…uh."
Tenko. Yonda reminded her.
"Tenko! It's nice to meet you." Shiruku greeted him with a smile, before turning to Yonda and handing the plain white shorts to her. Anyway, why do you need a pair of boys to swim…trunks…oh.
Well, would you look at that, a pair of swim trunks? Yonda said, handing the trunks to Tenko. And they're your size!
What? Tenko thought, incredibly confused as to what was happening.
Don't think about it too hard, and just have fun. Yonda reassured him.
Well…I guess. Tenko thought.
Good. Shiruku dearest, won't you show him to a changing room? Yonda asked.
Shiruku gave her a suspicious glare. I have no idea what you've done, and I'm gonna go along with it for now, but we're having a talk later.
I'll prepare some tea. Yonda said, as Shiruku took Tenko by the hand and led him inside.
Oh, what a wonderful day! Yonda thought proudly to herself. I helped someone, I didn't even need to drug anyone. Or blackmail anyone. Just some breaking and entering. All and all, I dare say I've improved quite a bit.
Sorry for the short chapter, I am rather sick. Again.
Anyway, some of you might not view Yonda's current scheme as an improvement because let's face it, she still broke into someone's room, but compared to what she was GOING to do, I think this is far better.
Improvement is a relative term. It just means better than how it was before. Not that it's good. If you get punched in the face every day, and then suddenly start getting punched in the arm, that is an improvement, even if it's still not good.
We'll focus more on Tenko later.
Anyway, please review and have a nice day.
