It was yet another day at UA, and not much was different…not unless one counted the threat of villain attacks as "different". Regardless, Deku and Todoroki were heading to class, except Deku couldn't help but notice that Todoroki was giggling:
"Why so giggly today?"
"Oh, I was looking up some funny jokes online last night. Wanna hear one?"
Deku smiled. "OK!"
"Insurance companies are now warning customers that if their tents are stolen during the night, they won't be covered!"
Deku had a good laugh at that one.
"I used to live a stone's throw away from a family who all died of mysterious head injuries."
Deku laughed some more at that one.
"Did you hear about the Portuguese athlete who came in second at the Olympics? His last name was DaSilva!"
Deku laughed even more.
"Shoko, those were great! Have you ever considered being a comedian?"
Todoroki chuckled. "Professionally, no, but if you want me to put on a little show later, I can do that!"
"Please do! Everyone would love to hear your jokes!"
"OK!"
Later on, after classes, everyone was gathered around in the common area of the 1-A dorm, while Deku served as an MC:
"Ladies, gentlemen, and those outside the gender binary, prepare yourselves for an evening of laughs with your very own…SHOKO TODOROKI!"
Everyone gave Todoroki a round of applause as she bowed before everyone.
"Thank you, thank you!" said Todoroki. "I flew here all the way from home, and boy, my arms are tired!"
Hardly anyone chuckled at that one.
"Hey, I'm just getting warmed up here! Anyways, I went to the doctor with hearing problems, and he said 'can you describe the symptoms?' I said, 'Well, Homer's the fat dude and Marge has blue hair!'"
This time, everyone had a good laugh.
"People who pronounce 'vase' like 'vahz' make me wanna punch them in the 'fahz'!"
Everyone laughed at this one, too.
"Or how about this: Can we ban those 'yo mama' jokes once and for all? I mean, they're old, they're stupid, and they've been done by everyone hundreds of times…just like yo mama!"
This one got an especially hearty round of laughter from everyone.
"Oh wait, I can do impressions, too! Here's one of Tsu: I like eating jelly donuts on my lilypad, ribbit."
Everyone got a good laugh out of that one except for Tsu herself:
"That needed a little work, but that was good, ribbit."
"Or how about Jiro: Kaminari, quit scrambling your goddamn brain; it's not an egg!"
Everyone got a good laugh out of that one except Kaminari:
"HEY! THAT'S NOT FUNNY!"
Jiro herself was laughing, however. "Wow, even Todoroki agrees you're Jamming-Yay!"
"SHUT UP!"
Todoroki continued with her impressions: "Oh, here's one of Ashido: I'm a 16-year old girl who loves CLAW MACHINES!"
Everyone got a really good laugh out of this one, and Ashido expressed her approval:
"OH MY DAMN CHERRY BLOSSOMS!* She sounds exactly like me!"
"I know!" Hagakure bounced around. "She's so talented!"
"Oh wait, I can also do Bakugo as well!" Todoroki did her best impression of Kacchan: "WHAT THE CRAP, NERD!? WHY THE CRAP ARE YOU SO CUTE AND GREEN!?"
Everyone got a good laugh out of this one except Kacchan himself:
"WHAT THE CRAP!? THAT'S NOT WHAT I SOUND LIKE!"
Everyone laughed even harder hearing Kacchan react to Todoroki.
"I HATE THIS."
Kacchan clamped his hands over his ears, wondering why he was even in the same school of Todoroki. Later in life, however, he would admit that she was a great comedian.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
