In the streets of Japan...
Uraraka and Bakugo soon finished their meal and paid for it. Bakugo ended up paying, and Uraraka almost argued with him for her to pay. He told her that he owed her for taking him out, so she let it slide for now. He paid for it, and they both headed out. They walked back to the bus station and soon found themselves on it. They sat together, and Uraraka noticed that he was pretty quiet.
She still wondered if they were friends at all. She really hoped that because since this was all over between them, she didn't want it to go back to arguing and lashing out at each other. She actually enjoyed hanging out with him when he was actually calm and just enjoying his time with her. Something about him just felt so different today.
He didn't say much all the way there and soon they ended up on the subway back to U.A. He was pretty quiet as they sat there together. She kept glancing at him, and she was wondering what he was thinking. Since she didn't feel his feelings anymore, it felt refreshing but it also made her wonder how he was doing.
Then she remembered that they were heading back to the dormitory. No one knew about them being back to normal. She didn't even think about saying anything to Midoriya.
"Bakugo. What're we going to tell everyone?" Uraraka asked him, "No one knows about us being back to normal."
Bakugo's eyes widened, and Uraraka could tell that he didn't even think about that. They were having so much fun that he didn't know what to say to Mr. Aizawa and everyone else. Then a grin formed on his face, making Uraraka flinch.
"No one knows about us switching back. Why don't we go with this for now? Maybe mess with everyone for a little while," Bakugo said to her, "Besides, don't you want to do something to get back at that little pervert?"
Uraraka wasn't usually one for pranks and such, but something about this felt like it might be fun. Besides, when did she ever get the chance to do something like this with Bakugo. She couldn't help but smile back, but felt ready to get back at Mineta and maybe even Kaminari.
"Why not? It might be fun to see the look on Mineta's face when I float him up to the ceiling," Uraraka said back.
Bakugo never got around to doing that and hearing her say that made him want to do this even more. Uraraka couldn't help but laugh at how funny this was going to be.
They soon got off of the subway station and headed back to U.A. Uraraka tried so hard not to laugh, thinking about what to say when they walk in. Bakugo kept telling her that she was supposed to pretend that she was Bakugo as if it hadn't happened yet. Uraraka then thought about the fact that Bakugo had to pretend that he was Uraraka.
"Wait, you're going to pretend to be me?" Uraraka pointed out, "I don't know if Izuku will like that."
"Come on. It'll be funny," Bakugo said back, "Besides, you two kissed. You owe me."
Uraraka let out a sigh and totally forgot that he even saw that in the first place.
"Fine. But don't hurt him. We don't need Mr. Aizawa lecturing us for the rest of the day," Uraraka said to him.
Bakugo understood, and they soon walked past the U.A. gate. Uraraka surprisingly wasn't laughing as she thought what Bakugo might do. She even tried to practice glaring at them like he would and hoped she could pull it off. Bakugo noticed and almost immediately lost composure watching her practice glaring and frowning.
Bakugo on the other hand remembered how Uraraka felt about Midoriya and wanted to somehow mess with him a bit. He had to at least get back at Mineta somehow, but let Uraraka do most of it.
They finally made it to the dormitory and stopped for a moment to get ready. Uraraka took a deep breath in and out and got ready to mess with Mineta. Bakugo knew exactly what to do. They opened the door to see Class 1-A hanging out in the common room. Some of them were doing their homework at the dining room table. Some of them were watching TV. Some of them were making something to eat in the kitchen.
They all looked up to see Uraraka and Bakugo coming back from the hike as they put down their backpacks.
"Hey guys. How was the hike?" Iida asked them, "You two were gone for quite a while."
"Yeah. We went to this restaurant to grab something to eat," Bakugo said pretending to be Uraraka, "I took Bakugo to a restaurant that I used to go to with my mom and dad. It was really good! We should all go there sometime."
Uraraka tried so hard not to laugh as she unpacked her backpack. She tried to stay mad as if something was bugging her, and then remembered Mineta.
"If it was that good, then yeah we definitely should," Midoriya said, and Uraraka tried not to run over to him.
She noticed Bakugo giving her a side glance as Midoriya walked up to him. Uraraka knew what was coming and tried to stay calm.
"Hey Izuku. I missed you," Bakugo said pretending to be Uraraka, "Our dinner date was a lot of fun last night. Bakugo is such a good cook, isn't he?"
Uraraka sent him a glare, but Midoriya didn't even seem to be phased by any of this.
"Yeah, but I'm just glad that you made it for me," Midoriya said to him with a smile, "We should do it again soon when you're back to normal. Remember?"
"Of course," Bakugo said as he got closer to him.
Uraraka's eyes widened in shock to see Bakugo tilt his chin up at him. It made her face heat up, and she tried to hide it so no one would notice.
"U-Uhh... O-Ochaco...?" Midoriya said to her, clearly uncomfortable with this.
Everyone stared at them, surprised that Uraraka would do this in front of everyone.
"I can't wait for our next date..." Bakugo said pretending to be Uraraka.
Midoriya's face was bright red, and he couldn't speak as everyone dropped their jaws. Some of them felt a little hot themselves seeing that between Uraraka and Midoriya. They still had no idea what was actually going on.
Uraraka lost it, but she decided to use this time to regain her composure.
"Deku..." Uraraka growled out, surprising even Bakugo, "I heard what you two did last night. What did I tell you?"
Uraraka stood up and stomped over to Midoriya. He looked scared of her, which was exactly what she was going for. Bakugo was surprised to see her looking so furious that he was a bit thrown off.
"W-What are you talking about Kacchan?!" Midoriya asked back, looking a little flustered, "I-I... W-We didn't do anything!"
Suddenly Uraraka pulled on his tie with them being mere inches away from their face. Bakugo took a step back, surprised to see Uraraka really into this.
"Liar! You and Uraraka kissed! I saw it with my own eyes! Don't deny it!" Uraraka cried out, pretending to be Bakugo, "I told you not to do anything like that! Now I've got your damn germs all over my mouth!"
"You two kissed?!" Class 1-A cried out in unison.
"Midoriya and Uraraka, that's inappropriate considering this situation!" Iida cried out as he waved his arm up and down.
"The hell is it! Now when things are back to normal, I have to boil my lips because of this damn nerd!" Bakugo cried out at Iida.
Bakugo's eyes widened in shock, seeing her so furious. He almost laughed right then and there, but then saw Mineta walking by Uraraka. He looked like he was trying to get a look at Uraraka's skirt. Bakugo noticed right away and almost went after him. In the corner of her eye, Uraraka noticed him and sent him a piercing glare. She let go of Midoriya and went right for Mineta.
"You little pervert... That's it! I've had enough of you!" Uraraka cried out and stomped over to him.
He looked really scared of her as she grabbed him, making him float. Mineta struggled in the air as he tried to swim around.
"Bakugo! Let me down!" Mineta cried out, "I'll get you for this!"
"Serves you right," Uraraka said to him, feeling pretty satisfied.
"Bakugo! You shouldn't use Uraraka's quirk without her permission! Especially on Mineta!" Iida cried out.
Uraraka let out a smirk and looked over at Bakugo who was still pretending to be her. He crossed his arms and still went with it.
"I'm okay with it," Bakugo said to them, "He's a little pervert who deserves this. Maybe he can clean up some of those cobwebs up there while he's at it."
Uraraka couldn't help but smile at his joke, but no one had caught on yet.
"Uraraka! I know you're annoyed with him too, but you shouldn't let Bakugo use your quirk," Iida lectured Bakugo without realizing it.
"Fine. Bakugo, put him down," Bakugo said to Uraraka with a smirk.
Uraraka didn't let up on her performance and deactivated her quirk, causing Mineta to fall to the floor. Iida caught him and put him down. He looked really mad at Uraraka, still thinking that it was Bakugo.
"You'll pay for this Bakugo! When you're back to normal, I'll get you when you least expect it!" Mineta cried out.
Uraraka looked at Bakugo, and they knew what to do. Uraraka walked up to Mineta, making him take a step back. She kneeled down to his level, and Mineta didn't move.
"Oh yeah. And what would you do if I was Uraraka?" Uraraka asked him with a smirk on her face.
"B-Bakugo! Wh-What are you getting at?!" Mineta asked him, not moving from his spot, "Yo-You're the one that tossed me into the air just now! Ur-Uraraka would never do that to me!"
Uraraka stayed quiet for a moment and just stared at him. Mineta was shaking like a leaf, and everyone stood there waiting for Uraraka to back off. After a moment of silence, Uraraka lost it and burst out laughing. Everyone was confused as to why she was laughing, thinking that it was still Bakugo.
"Bakugo? Why are you laughing? This isn't funny!" Iida cried out as he swung his arm up and down.
Then they turned around to hear Bakugo laughing, making them even more confused. They all stood there, really confused as to what was going on with them. Even Midoriya didn't know what was going on at this point. Mineta stopped shaking and noticed something about her laugh sounded like Uraraka's.
"Ur-Uraraka?!" Mineta cried out.
"Gotcha! That's what you get for being a pervert," Uraraka said to him, "Maybe you'll think twice before trying to peek under my skirt."
Everyone's eyes widened and jaws dropped to see them make the connection. Even Midoriya and Iida were in complete shock as Uraraka stood up to face them. Midoriya turned bright red as he looked at Bakugo and then Uraraka. They were both smiling at their classmates, and they knew that they were back to normal.
"Liked our performance?" Bakugo asked them, "I'd say we did pretty good."
Midoriya and Iida looked at each other and couldn't believe what they were looking at. Uraraka and Bakugo were back to normal, and no one had any idea. Midoriya looked at Uraraka, and his eyes lit up seeing his girlfriend back.
"Ochaco...?" Midoriya said under his breath, "Is it really you...?"
Uraraka couldn't hold back any longer and ran at him to hug him.
"Izuku! I'm back!" Uraraka cried out as she held him close.
Midoriya's eyes lit up and held her tight in his embrace. She felt so much better with her arms around him as he hugged her.
"I missed you so much! I'm sorry for yelling at you! I just..." Uraraka said to him, "I just really wanted to play along with Bakugo. What did you think? Did I pull it off?"
"Ye-Yeah. Maybe a little too well," Midoriya said back with a sweat drop forming around his forehead, "I was really convinced that you two were still switched."
"Yeah, well. Uraraka did most of the performance," Bakugo said to them, "Although, the look on your face when I pretended to be her was pretty priceless."
Midoriya's face turned bright red, and everyone could swear that there was smoke coming off of his head. Bakugo got a good laugh out of that, and Uraraka gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"It's feels good to be back," Uraraka said to him with a smile, "There's actually some things that me and Bakugo found out about during the hike. That somehow caused us to switch back."
Class 1-A were all so curious as Uraraka explained what happened. She let go of Midoriya, and he too was curious about it.
"Really? What was it that you found out?" Midoriya asked her with big eyes.
Uraraka and Bakugo shared a look, and Bakugo let her explain it to him. He didn't see why not, it's not like it was a big deal to anyone else.
"It turns out, Bakugo and you went on the same trail when you were little," Uraraka said to him.
"Oh yeah! I remember," Midoriya said once she mentioned it, "We were racing to get to the top. Then some little girl... ran... into... us..."
Uraraka tucked her hair behind her ear, noticing Midoriya starting to realize who it was. Then it hit him, and his eyes widened in shock. His hand shook as he pointed at her.
"It was you?! You ran into us?!" Midoriya cried out.
"Yeah. I remembered you two looking at me," Uraraka said to him, "I just had no idea it was you two that I would end up meeting you again here in U.A. Even Bakugo didn't remember any of it until we went to the viewing spot to look at the mountains. It was really weird. I could see his memory of it, but it was pretty hard to tell what was going on."
"Really? Yours was pretty clear on what was going on," Bakugo said to her, "Then again, I guess it meant more to you than it did to me. But yeah, it was really weird."
"This is crazy! I've met you before?!" Midoriya cried out, "I remember you bumping into us."
"That's weird. It's like you two were meant to bump into each other or something," Kaminari said to them.
Uraraka and Midoriya shared a look and smiled at each other, feeling so much closer than ever before. They held hands, and Uraraka felt like her heart was fluttering a lot just by looking at him.
"I'm glad," Uraraka said with a smile.
Midoriya didn't look away and felt so much better finally having her back to normal.
"Me too," Midoriya said back.
"So, you saw each other's memories of that trail?" Iida pointed out, "That seems different from anything else you guys have experienced."
"Yeah, but it helped," Uraraka said to him, "And that's all I care about."
Uraraka and Bakugo shared a look, and Bakugo really appreciated that she kept a lot of it between them. They didn't need to know everything, especially since some of it was kind of private. Bakugo noticed Kirishima in the corner of the room and remembered what Uraraka said to him. He felt a little awkward doing what she recommended, but he was right there. Bakugo walked up to him, and he could tell that Kirishima was really glad that they were back to normal.
"Hey... Kirishima..." Bakugo said to him under his breath.
"Hey man. It's good to see you!" Kirishima said back with a toothy grin, "I can't believe you and Uraraka knew each other back then. That's pretty cool."
"Yeah. It was pretty weird going up the trail," Bakugo said back with his hands in his pockets, "I'm just glad that it's finally over."
"Don't think that that means we're not friends," Ashido exclaimed, "I still really liked helping you out. All of the girls did."
"Yeah, but it does feel good that we don't have to help him with girl stuff anymore," Jirou said to her, "It was a little awkward."
Bakugo felt his face heat up, remembering them helping him with bras, underwear and getting dressed in the changing room. They all noticed him turning red, and he clenched his fists.
"We don't need to talk about that," Bakugo growled out with his bright red face.
Uraraka couldn't help but laugh at Bakugo wearing a bra, causing him to look at her. Before he could yell at her, Kitsune and Mr. Aizawa came walking into the common room to see them all here. He noticed Bakugo and Uraraka and realized that they just got from back from the hike. Kitsune looked at him and felt something different about them. She couldn't feel that weird static around them like she always does when someone is in the wrong body. Her eyes widened with joy, and her smile grew once she realized what was going on.
"You two are back to normal!" Kitsune cried out, "You figured it out! I knew you could do it!"
Uraraka couldn't help but smile at Kitsune, and Bakugo stood tall with his signature smirk.
"Of course we figured it out," Bakugo said to her.
"Actually, the hiking trail helped a lot. If I hadn't gone there, we'd still be stuck," Uraraka said to them.
"Well, I'm just glad things worked out at the trail," Mr. Aizawa said to them, "Kitsune, that means you can be sent home soon. I hope that this didn't delay anything that you were in the middle of."
"No, not at all! I actually had a great time here!" Kitsune exclaimed, "I never thought I'd be here in U.A. helping heroes in training! It was really cool seeing everyone's quirks at work!"
Uraraka was a little upset to see her go since she did try her best to help them. She felt like she at least had to say something to her. She grabbed Bakugo's arm and dragged him over to Kitsune.
"Kitsune. Thank you so much for helping us," Uraraka said to her, "If it wasn't for you, I don't know how I would've figured any of this out. I know it seems like you didn't do much, but that's not true."
Kitsune's eyes widened and was surprised to see Uraraka and Bakugo coming up to her like this. It her made her feel like she was a part of something pretty special.
"You helped me understand what was going on with my feelings and Bakugo's feelings. It was a little complicated, and if you hadn't explained any of this, I definitely think we would still be stuck and wouldn't know what to do about any of this," Uraraka said to her, "Thank you Kitsune. For everything."
Uraraka bowed to her, and Kitsune got a little flustered. Uraraka got up and noticed Bakugo just standing there. She elbowed him, and he got a little uncomfortable talking to her.
"Yeah... Thank you, Kitsune," Bakugo said, but a little awkward about it, "I guess you did help us. It definitely would've been more annoying if you weren't around to explain things to us. Uraraka's feelings were pretty loud. It was hard to concentrate on my schoolwork or hero training with Uraraka constantly thinking about Deku all the time-- Ow!"
Uraraka had elbowed him a little harder with her face bright red. Kitsune couldn't help but laugh at how well things turned out between them. She smiled at them and came in to hug them both. They definitely didn't expect that, but Uraraka smiled feeling really good about this. Bakugo felt a little uncomfortable, but let her hug him.
"I'm glad that you two work things out," Kitsune said to them, "Just, promise me that you two will work hard to become great pro heroes."
"Of course!" Uraraka exclaimed once she let them go.
"I would never pass up that," Bakugo said to her, feeling pretty confident.
Uraraka looked over at Bakugo and couldn't help but wonder if they were still friends. Something about it bothered her that things might just go back to them arguing and yelling at each other.
Once Kitsune left with Mr. Aizawa, Bakugo noticed her looking a little upset about something.
