Class 1-A were in their classroom, waiting for the school day to start. Mina suddenly shouted, "Hey, guys! Come here! Check this!" People gathered as she turned on some music and started to breakdance. "I'm a breakdancing queen! Clock this breakdown!"

Everyone around her cheered. Izuku pulled out his notebook, "I bet Ashido's dancing skills end up being super useful in hand to hand combat. When it comes to a fight, she would have complete control over every part of her body."

Danny sighed, "Of course you nerd out over this."

Yuga walked over, "I've witnessed that. She burned through my cape in our first training match, and then, at the sports festival finals, she burned my pants. I will never forget that."

Danny gave Yuga a side eye, as he was keeping a close eye on Yuga after what happened recently.

Izuku said, "Huh, maybe I should take up dancing, too."

Kaminari smiled, "She could teach you."

Mina looked over at them, "Aww, yeah, boi, let's see what moves you've got."

Izuku stuttered, "Um, ok. Please show me how."

Danny took a step back, "I'll pass."

Mina said, "We'll start with something easy. Step forward and back and left and right, while swinging both arms. Make sure you're staying loose." She showed off the move.

Izuku tried to copy, but he was pretty bad. Yuga tried as well, he was bad, too.

Danny had to stifle a laugh. Momo hit him on the shoulder, "Don't be rude."

Kaminari said, "This reminds me of how Sato's always baking stuff. It's a hobby, but also helps out with hero work. Man. So smart. Speaking of hobbies, I bet yours is the same, Jiro."

Jiro replied, "What? I don't know…."

Kaminari interrupted, "Come on! Your dorm room looks like a recording studio! One look and I can tell music is your whole life."

Jiro shouted, "Drop it, moron! Forget about what you saw in there."

Kaminari chuckled, "Oh, yeah. That's passion. For real, though. You should start a jam sess….."

Jiro interrupted him by pointing one of her ear jacks in his face. "Just shut it."

Everyone eventually settled down into their seats as Aizawa entered the room. He said, "It's coming. The school festival."

Everyone cheered, "Normal school stuff!"

Danny shrugged, "Still better than homecoming, I guess."

Kirishima shot out of his seat, "Hold on, Mr. Aizawa. Are you sure this is OK?"

Kaminari shushed Kirishima, "Hush, Kirishima. Don't you ruin this."

Kirishima replied, "Think about it, though. There are villains everywhere right now!"

Aizawa said as he zipped himself up into his sleeping bag, "You're right. That's a reasonable point. However, there are students here besides those in the hero course. You get the spotlight every year at the sports festival. This is for everyone else. The support course, general studies, and don't forget the business course students. This doesn't get as much attention as the sports festival, but it's still the yearly event they all look forward to. Many of your peers are feeling stressed out by the current conditions here at UA. Especially the dorm system, which had to be adopted because of the hero course."

Kirishima sighed as he sat down, "When you put it like that, guess it'd be unfair to cancel it."

Aizawa continued, "Correct. So, yeah. It's still on. And hopefully everyone will enjoy it. Though unlike festivals in the past, this year's will only be open to UA students and staff. With a few exceptions. You may not be the focus this time, but your class still needs to participate with some kind of original programming. You need to decide what you want to do today." He then slid to the floor and fell asleep.

Danny, Momo, and Tenya walked to the front of the class. Danny spoke up, "OK. As class rep, I'll help us come up with an idea that we as a class want to do for the school festival. Momo will write the ideas down on the board. Tenya will help monitor and get ideas from all of you. OK, Tenya, you're up."

Tenya shouted, "Raise your hand if you have any ideas." Multiple people raised their hands at the same time and shouted their ideas out. "I wasn't expecting such enthusiasm. Calm down now! We'll go one at a time, please."

He pointed to Kaminari first, who suggested, "A maid cafe! Seriously, imagine it! Now imagine it again, but with more details. And if you imagine me in the center of the action….Oh, yeah. I think we've already got a winner."

Danny sighed while Tenya said, "Maids. It is good to serve others."

Ochaco suggested, "A mochi shop."

Tenya replied, "Celebrating Japanese cuisine."

Kirishima suggested, "An arm-wrestling match."

"So intense!" Tenya replied.

Toru suggested, "A fun house!"

Tenya replied, "I don't know what you mean, but sounds interesting."

Sato suggested, "A creperie!"

Tenya replied, "That would be great for eating on the go!"

"Disco!" Mina suggested.

"Sounds invigorating!" Tenya replied.

"A Hero quiz," Izuku suggested.

Tenya laughed, "As I'd expect from you."

Danny muttered, "Not surprised."

Tsuyu suggested, "The Frog Song in a round."

"How charming!" Tenya replied.

"Maybe a petting zoo," Koji said quietly.

"Also a suggestion," Tenya replied.

"Soba stall," Shoto suggested.

"It is your favorite!" Tenya replied.

"Fight to the death!" Bakugo suggested.

"Unexpected for a festival," Tenya replied.

Tokoyami suggested, "A mad banquet of darkness." That made Tenya chuckle with glee.

"A twinkling extravaganza!" Yuga suggested. That got both Tenya and Danny confused.

"Maybe a skit?" Jiro suggested.

"Possibly!" Tenya replied.

"A traditional cafe," Sero suggested.

"A martial arts demonstration!" Oijiro suggested.

"Takoyaki shop," Shoji suggested.

Momo had written all of the suggestions on the board. Danny said, "OK, it seems that everyone made a suggestion."

Momo added, "To begin with, let's cut some. Anything inappropriate, impossible, or confusing." She crossed several off, pissing some of her classmates off.

Danny heard the mutterings and said, "Hey, chill out. We have to come up with an idea that showcases the entire class and is fun, not boring. No offense to you two, Tenya, Momo." Tenya suggested a history presentation while Momo suggested a study session. Both class reps lowered their heads, but understood.

Everyone started to mutter about what to do. Tenya shouted, "Quiet down! Be civil!"

Momo sighed, "A consensus is going to be difficult."

"Tell me about it," Danny agreed.

Suddenly the bell rang. Aizawa woke up and stepped out of his sleeping bag. He stood up and walked toward the classroom door, "That was a highly unproductive meeting. Decide what you'll do by tomorrow morning. If you don't, we'll go with my idea: an educational lecture." Everyone was shocked by that.

Later, everyone met up back at the dorm. Except for Bakugo, who was sleeping. Those who were part of the work studies staggered in, just coming back from extra classes to catch up on what they missed. The five of them slid down onto one of the couches, exhausted, Kirishima falling asleep.

Tenya said, "Now that things have quieted down, and our class rep is back, I have some thoughts about our list. It's obvious that we've caused some strain on the other students. It would make sense to choose something that might raise their spirits in an effort to make it up to them."

Danny was shocked, "Actually, that's a good idea, Tenya."

Momo said, "I don't disagree. We're aiming to be heroes, right? So we should be aware of any trouble we've caused for others."

Tenya continued, "Correct, and with that in mind, I don't think we can offer the students of UA a meal that satisfies their taste buds, since they're used to Lunch Rush's gourmet cooking."

Sero groaned, "Aw, so food is out of the question?"

Tenya replied, "I believe that would be best. There must be another way we can be of service."

Shoji said, "We have to keep their needs in mind. If we're the only ones having fun, the event will be a disaster."

Sato sighed, "It's frustrating, but Lunch Rush is just too good."

Toru asked, "OK, so, what, then?"

Momo pulled out her laptop, "Well, we can cut out all the food ideas, and that way, we can focus on experiences. There's the maid cafe, petting zoo, and whatever a fun house is."

Sero said, "A zoo sounds kind of smelly and unsanitary."

Kirishima mumbled, "True that."

Jiro suggested, "I think a skit would be a lot of fun."

Sero replied, "Watching amateurs perform can be pretty stressful."

Mina asked, "Why don't we have a big dance party?"

Shoto stood up, "Dancing. That's a good idea."

Mina was confused, "Wait, you mean you'd be into that?"

Tsuyu added, "I'm shocked he would be, too."

Shoto went over to Momo's laptop, "Hang on a second. There's something I've seen before. I don't know what it's called, exactly, but it looks like everyone really enjoys it." He typed something into the laptop and pulled up a video. "There, something like this." It was a video of a rock concert.

Danny said, "A rock concert. Dude, I'm surprised you would come up with an idea like this."

"Same," Izuku agreed.

Shoto explained, "I just agree with Iida's opinion that we should provide stress relief for the people in the other courses. In order to do that, maybe we should focus on something that offers entertainment for everyone. I got the idea from my extra exam training."

Ochaco was confused, "What are they doing in those supplemental classes?"

Tenya said, "Interesting. Singing and dancing, huh?"

Sero asked, "None of us really dances, do we? No one wants to see a cringy routine."

Mina smiled, "No problem. I got you, fam."

Izuku said, "She was a good teacher for myself and Aoyama. I trust her abilities. But we can't have dancing without music."

Toru said, "Well, if we're talking about music…" She pointed to Jiro, who was shocked. "Why don't we perform live? With all your instruments?"

Jiro replied, "Absolutely not!"

Ochaco asked, "What's wrong? You're really good at playing and teaching people how to play. And you always look like you're having a ton of fun when you make music. I bet everyone in school would love to hear you rock out!"

Jiro sighed, "No. I'm not Ashido or Sato. Their hobbies actually help their hero work. They have a purpose. But music, it's really just a hobby. Sorry, I just don't think it's something I wanna show off to the school."

Kaminari walked up to her, "But you can play so many instruments! You're freaking awesome!"

Koda added, "Why not use your skill to make other people smile? I think your music will definitely be useful when you're a pro!"

Momo stood up and said, "Look, I understand where both of you are coming from, but it is her choice. If she doesn't want to perform, that's fine."

Danny stood up, "She's right. It's your call, Jiro."

Jiro replied, "Well, after what you've all said, if I didn't do it, I guess it wouldn't be rocking at all."

Kirishima shot up, "Yes! Class 1-A will do a live performance and throw a dance party like this school's never seen before!" Everyone cheered.

The next day, Izuku and Danny met up with Mirio at the hospital to visit Eri. They walked into her room where she was sitting on her bed.

Izuku said, "Sorry we couldn't come see you sooner."

Mirio held up a basket, "We brought you some yummy snacks, though."

Danny smiled, "Hope you're feeling hungry."

They walked into the room. Mirio tried to guess what Eri's favorite fruit was, and she said, "Apples."

Aizawa was standing at the door to her room. He had told the work study studies that Eri requested to see Danny, Izuku, and Mirio. And he decided to oblige.

Eri said, "This whole time, even when I had a fever, all I could think about was how much you did for me. How you saved me. But, I didn't even know what to call you. I know Danny Phantom, as well as Lemillion's name, but that's it. So, who are you?"

Izuku answered, "I'm Izuku Midoriya. My hero name is Deku! You know what? Deku's probably easier to remember since it's shorter. So, yeah. I'm Deku!"

"A hero name?" Eri asked.

Danny replied, "It's like a nickname. Danny Phantom was my original hero name, but I just go by Phantom as a hero. Normally, I go by Danny. But if you want to keep calling me Danny Phantom, that's fine. And you can all Deku by whatever works for you."

Eri said, "So Lemillion, Deku, and Danny Phantom. And then, there was the man wearing glasses. All of you ended up getting hurt real bad because of me. It's all my fault. All the terrible stuff that happened, I'm so sorry. I know that you lost your power because you were protecting me, Lemillion."

Mirio put his hand on Eri's head, "Eri, I guarantee that none of us think this was your fault at all. You know what we are thinking though? Man, I am super glad that Eri's OK. So you see, there's no point in apologizing. Promise! Don't worry about it. Besides, everyone fought because they wanted to see you smile."

Eri tried to smile, but she couldn't. "This is so silly. I think I've forgotten how smiling feels."

Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. Everyone turned to see Jazz standing next to Aizawa. Danny was shocked, "Jazz! What are you doing here?"

Eri got frightened a little, but Danny reassured her, "It's OK. Jazz is my older sister. She's really friendly." That calmed Eri down.

Aizawa explained, "I remember Fenton mentioning his sister and her studies at one point, so I reached out to her professor and he agreed to lend her, as part of a work study. Plus, her Quirk, Empath, will help keep Eri calm."

Jazz walked over to Danny, "Good to see you, little brother. And hello again, Izuku. You must be Mirio. Nice to meet you." She knelt down to Eri's level. "Hello, Eri. You can call me Jazz. I'm here to be your friend and help you. If you want me to."

Eri looked over at Danny, who smiled, then she looked back at Jazz, "If Danny Phantom likes you, then so will I."

Jazz laughed, "That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Now, I heard you are having trouble remembering how to smile. It's OK. We will work on that together. We will all help you smile."

Izuku suddenly had an idea. He turned to Aizawa, "Mr. Aizawa. Do you think Eri could leave the hospital? Just for one day, I mean."

Aizawa replied, "It's not totally out of the question. Actually, we were thinking we might have her…."

Izuku interrupted, "Then I have an idea to bring her spirits up!"

Aizawa asked, "And what would that be?"

Izuku answered, "She should come with us to the UA festival!"

Mirio realized that this was a good idea. Danny thought about it, then said, "I think that's a great idea."

Eri asked, "What's a festival?"

Mirio answered, "Eri, this is the best idea ever! You're gonna have such a blast! A school festival is a festival that takes place at our school. It's great! All the students plan super-duper exciting things for the rest of the classes to have fun with. There are different games and performances, they sell food. Oh! And get this! I bet they'll be candy apples there!"

Eri asked, "What're candy apples?"

Danny answered, "It's when they dip an apple into some crackly sugar stuff and make it even sweeter."

"Sweeter how?" Eri asked.

Jazz laughed, "It's hard to describe. You'll just have to taste one for yourself."

Aizawa pulled out his phone, "All right. I'll talk it over with the principal."

Izuku smiled, "Thank you. Well, Eri. What do you think?"

Eri replied, "You know, a minute ago, when I didn't know your name, I was sad and didn't know what to do. Because I knew more than anything that I just wanted to be friends with the people who helped me."

Mirio nodded, "Yes! That's what we want, too. We should start putting a case together to convince the principal. That way we can be sure she'll be allowed to come out."

Jazz said, "How about this? I'll keep you updated about how she's doing with me and send them to Mr. Aizawa, who can send them to the principal."

Danny smiled, "Sounds like a plan, Jazz."

Mirio added, "I'm on a break from school right now, so I can totally hang out with you before the school festival date?"

Eri was confused, "Our date?"

Jazz answered, "That's when two people who like each other spend time together. If having Mirio here during my visits makes you comfortable, then that's fine by me."

Eri asked, "So, we're going on a date?"

Danny chuckled, "OK, maybe that's enough for today."

What no one knew at the time was someone was planning a horrible scheme involving the school festival.
