________________________________________________

Mina loaded her gun, and put it in the pocket of her cost. It didn't fit, but it worked as a holster until she could get Momo to make some for the class. She fluffed her hair one last time in the mirror and smiled at herself.

This was one of her best ideas, making this game based on ones popular from the internet.

She brushed her pants off once and went out to go down to the kitchen area, where Bakugo was undoubtedly making breakfast again. After all, it was Saturday, and it had become routine for him to make breakfast for everyone so that he could beat them at their best. (Kirishima has a good talent of convincing him to do stuff for the class somehow)

Along the way, she noticed that all the nerf guns that she, Kirishima, and Kaminari had set out were gone from the hall. She gave a small nod to herself and began to whistle a tune.

In the elevator, she met with Hagakure (or the floating clothes that could only belong to her) and Tokoyami, each with their guns in a easy to get to area. Hagakure was wearing shorts, and had somehow strapped the nerf gun to her leg, while Tokoyami had it in his pants pocket very loosely.

Hagakure waved a fingerless-gloved hand at her and Tokoyami nodded at her. Mina could tell that Hagakure was a little stiffer, with her hand by the gun, and Tokoyami had looked at her critically, as if he were sizing her up. But in a way that he could figure out if she were to shout the phrase, not to fight.

They chatted, with Hagakure relaxing and using her hands to talk more and Tokoyami given occasional goth responses, until they got to the first floor. Mina walked into the common room, to pass into the kitchen to find whatever was smelling so good, and found half the class. They all stopped talking, as they noticed her, and had their guns in their hand or near it.

She smiled. "One more rule we forgot, by the way." Everyone looked at each other, apprehensive. She pulled out her phone, and started to type as she spoke, to put the rule into the group chat. "There's no warning, and most of the class has to be in the room."

Before she had finished speaking, she had finished typing and pressed send, then put her phone in her pants pocket. Which happened to be on the same side as her temporary holster.

"SHOOT THE COOK" Mina yelled running towards the kitchen, and drawing her gun in the same motion.

The class followed.

9:48 am

dancnqueen: OH and btw

dancnqueen: theres no warning, and most of the class has to be in the room

10:03 am

McSplode: PINK EYES

Bzzt: they're Orange but go off

McSplode: FUCK OFF PIKACHU

McSplode: YOURE GOING FUCKING DOWN

Lesbean: Ah! I see that the first round has concluded!

Spacegrill: Yep! Mina came into the common room and shouted "Shoot the cook!"

Croak: Bakugo almost burned the eggs and threw a spatula at Kirishima

Rocknguys: He missed

McSplode: ONLY CAUSE FUCKING ICY HOT SHOT ME IN THE FUCKING ARMPIT

Spacegrill: JSKSHA

Spacegrill: TODOROKI DID YOU REALLY

icepop: I have surprisingly great aim

McSplode: FUCK OFF

dad no: Bakugo! Please make an effort to reduce your swears!

10:02

McSplode: Fuck no

Rocknguys: Hey Bakugo, remember that thing

Rocknguys: you know,

Rocknguys: that thing you don't want people to know?

McSplode: ...

McSplode: Frick off

Croak: Who knew that Kirishima would be so good at blackmail

dancnqueen: I'm so proud

dancnqueen: I taught him everything he knows

dad no: I am not sure what to say to that!

BROccoli: I'd say thanks

dad no: Then thank you! Please do not use blackmail for important matters!

dad no: I shall let it slide this time, as it is not a serious matter!

dancnqueen: Yes dad

dad no: Thank you! Although I am not your father!

________________________________________________

That night was game night. It had become a tradition to set up a game or two in the common room and play it from dinner to whenever you slept.

Typically, the tv is used for a multiplayer game, like Smash or Mario Cart, and then a long game like Monopoly or Settlers of Catan (requested by Midorya) was set up on the coffee table, moved behind the couch. There was also the shorter card games, like Cards Against Humanity or 10 of Kings, or some surprisingly long games of uno. (Tokoyami has a streak of 8 wins in a row. It's insane. He and Mina had a hour long game once)

It was a very popular event and almost all the class came.

That made it the perfect time to strike, Bakugo decided.

Time passed ridiculously slow for Bakugo as he waited for dinner to come. He had picked the word and decided when he would shout it about 15 minutes after he got BOMBARDED by his classmates. He did his usual stuff, do his homework, study for a bit, go punch a punching bag, go for a run, read for a bit, all that kind of stuff.

He was bored out of his mind. He couldn't cuss anyone out in the groupchat, or Kirishima fucking would rat him out about the stuffed donkey in his drawer. (He still can't believe that he left it out, in fucking plain sight for everyone who barges into his room to see.)

At noon, he decided to go down into the common area to see who he could bug the hell out of. He goes down hall down the stairs and sees no one.

In the common room, the self proclaimed Bakusquad (sans him) are having a mini competition on who can last the longest in a shooter game while holding a spoon with a boiled egg in their mouth and sitting upside down on the couch. (Because what else would they do?)

Bakugo scoffs and flicks Sero's foot, causing him to flinch and nearly drop his egg "You're losing, Tape face." He leans over the back of the couch, in between Sero and Mina. " Don't fucking squint your eyes, you're just giving yourself a shitty handicap."

He stands back up and looks around the rooms again. Kirishima and Jiro were along the wall, listening to some music together. They were using one of the Y shaped adapter things, so Kirishima was headbanging along to the music with his own headphones while Jiro had her eyes closed and was tapping out the rhythm on the wall, while nodding her head in an... less obvious manner. Tokoyami was reading a book in the window, and Momo looked to be taking a nap sitting on the floor next to him. Koda had come in and was watering some of the plants in there too. Bakugo could hear Iida's voice exclaim and Midoriyas sputtering, so they were in the kitchen, probably studying for something that was three weeks away.

Just about everyone was there, so he thought "Screw it". He waited until Sato finished watering the plant by door, (he's not gonna clean up some shitty fucking water spill later) and grabbed his gun.

Then, at the top of his lungs, shouted "SHOOT THE NAPPER".

Needless to say, Momo had a rude awakening.

12:07

BROccli: MOMO IM SO SORRY

Lesbean: What are you apologizing for?

Croak: He was the one who shot Tokoyami in the knee and made him kick you

BROccoli: KACCAN SHOVED ME IM SO SO SORRY

McSplode: stfu deku

Lesbean: Oh! I forgive you, there was no harm done.

rockngirls: You're lucky momo is so nice, Midoriya

BROccoli: I know ;^ ; Tokoyami! I apologize to you too!

Chirp Chirp: No apology needed, but I forgive you

dad no: Let's have this be our only accident during the game! I do not want to have cause to end the game prematurely

Duct tape: O yea

Duct tape: Let's not get hurt and then get caught

Duct tape: this games too fun to have it banned

Rocknguys: We don't want another water gun incident

Rocknguys: That was so unmanly

Bzzt: I'm still sorry about that guys

Bzzt: Who would have guessed that I could electrocute people through water?

rockngirls: literally anyone who knows anything about electricity

Bzzt: IT WAS A MOMENTARY LAPSE IN JUDGEMENT

12:35

Bakugo: "Momentary"

Bakugo: it happened flippinging 3 times before sensi took our cool ass water guns

Bakugo: mine had EXPLOSIONS on it

__________________________________________________

Momo was smart, and had a load more patience than Bakugo did. She knew that everyone would come down for dinner and sit at the big long table that gets set up in the kitchen at dinner time, and would be there for a while. They would be there even longer than usual, since Sato was making his infamous marbled lava cake.

After everyone ate, and before the cake was distributed would be the perfect time to strike. The only thing left, of course, was to find the right word and wait.

So far, the phrase had specifically targeted someone, by having the blank word be something describing only one person. Momo decided she wanted to mix it up a little, and go more broad, so it could be a mix up on who would get shot.

By the next hour, she had several words prepared that could fit the situation, and a back up that would work in a pinch.

She spent the remaining hours cleaning her room, doing her laundry, checking she had her homework done, all of the chores that she had deemed necessary to do in the Saturday evening. After she finished that, she did some of the things she enjoyed to past the time. Texting Jiro and Tokoyami, reading some Wikipedia articles, try at origami, etc.

Time past quickly, and before long it was time to eat dinner, and in turn, her plan.

Dinner time was the same as always. Iida and Midoriya were setting up the table, while Uraraka and Tsuyu set the table, Sato was preparing his brownies, Sero and Mina were adding up the money in the money jar and Kaminari was going through the gathered takeout menus. Takeout was sometimes part of the game night tradion, but only when there was enough money in the "I got an A!" jar. So when they had pizza or takeout entirely depended on how many people did well on homework or tests.

(Momo was surprised at how well it worked to motivate the lower scoring people to do their homework and study. Tokoyami had come up with it, which had also surprised her.)

They ended up having enough money to get several pizzas, and ordered over the phone. Once Iida has finished with the table, they sent him to go get it. He was more trusted by the teachers, to be let off campus, and could go fastest thanks to his quirk.

Before long, Sato's brownies were in the oven and Iida was back with the many pizzas. The smell of the food quickly attracted their classmates, who all came and sat at their usual places. Once everyone had arrived (with their nerf guns, of course) and sat down, they went ham on the pizzas. Everyone had food on their plate within a few minutes and was chowing down and talking to one another. There were at least 5 conversations going at once, but that didn't stop anyone from finishing their food. Heck, Mina and Sero were having a contest, being judged by Kirishima (and leactured by Iida for proper manners), to see who could eat a plate of pizza faster (Mina, of course).

Before long, everyone had eaten all they wanted, and Momo could tell Iida was about to get up to clear the table of the pizza boxes. A lull in conversation happened and it was the perfect time.

She grabbed her nerf gun and said "Shoot the cute".

It was sudden chaos.

6:56 pm

dancnqueen: Well that was a mess

Lesbean: I'll admit that..... wasn't how i expected it to go

dancnqueen: Alright, who got hit?

Croak: I was

BROccoli: I was??????

Icepop: I was too

dad no: I was hit as well!

McSplode: WHO DID FUCKING DID THAT

Spacegrill: I was too!!

7:00 pm

dancnqueen: Anyone else?

dancnqueen: No?

dancnqueen: Ok then, everyone say who you hit so we can figure put who was shot the most

dad no: Midorya

invisaline: Uraraka

McSplode: Shitty hair

BROccoli: Todoroki

Lesbean: Uraraka

Icepop: Midoriya

Chirp Chirp: Tsuyu

Duct tape: also Tsuyu

rockngirls: Tsuyu

Ten tickles: Iida

Tails: also Iida

Bzzt: Midorya

rocknguys: Bakubro

PureBoi: Uraraka

Sugar Provider: Midoriya

spacegrill: Iida

Croak: Uraraka

dancnqueen: Tsuyu

hon HON~~: Bakugo ☆`~*

McSplode: Don't add that shit to my name

dancnqueen: Alright so, looks like it is 2 for bakubro, 4 for Tsuyu, 4 for Uraraka, 3 for Iida, 4 for Midoriya, and one for Todoroki.

dancnqueen: there's a 3 way tie with Tsuyu, Uraraka, and Midoriya

dad no: How do you believe we should go about to solve the tie?

dancnqueen: tbh idk

Rocknguys: It didn't happen in the pretrial

Bzzt: Yeah, Mina just destroyed us. No time for a tie

Chirp Chirp: How about a 3 way Mexican stand off

Chirp Chirp: They only get one bullet and stand in a triangle, Momo shouts a new word and they shoot who ever fits

Chirp Chirp: Repeat until someone is chosen

Iida: That appears to be fair! Is there any objections to Tokoyami's idea?

7:32 pm

dancnqueen: Nope! Thanks dad, thanks Tokoyami

dad no: It is no problem, but I am not your father!

Chirp Chirp: You're welcome.

dancnqueen: Ok, Tsuyu Uraraka and Midoriya, the decided top 3 cutest of the class, when should we have the face off

Spacegrill: I'm ready whenever

Croak: Same

BROccoli: How about we do it before the games start? That way it's out of the way and whoever wins will have a good opportunity with nearly all of us, if not everyone in the same room and the game can continue further

Icepop: Sounds fair.

dancnqueen: Ye! Ok, meet in the yard in 10 minutes.

Croak: Ok

BROccoli: Ok!!

Uraraka: Do your best guys! I will!

Croak: Of course

dad no: I shall be coming as well, for a referee!

dancnqueen: That's not a problem but

dancnqueen: I'm pretty sure everyone is coming

Icepop: Yep.

__________________________________________________

When Momo shouted "Shoot the cute", Tsuyu had expected to be shot at all. She fully expected a tie, between Midoriya and Uraraka, but did not expect herself to be a part of it.

To be honest, she didn't think anyone would think she was cute, but apparently four people did. That was a real positive boost to her self esteem.

Now she was standing in a makeshift triangle with both Midoriya and Uraraka in her sight. Momo, Mina, and Iida were off to her right and the rest of the class were to her left.

Momo seemed to be thinking, with her hand on her chin and her arm in the other hand, for a few minutes. The class muttered and whispered to each other on her other side, as she turned to Mina and asked a question. Mina nodded and turned to the rest of the class.

"Ok, guys" she started, gaining their attention. "Rules will be different with ties. How different will depend on the last sayer," she glanced at the trio, "and for this Momo wants you to use your quirks." She stepped back, and looked to Momo.

"Shoot the one who's closer to the ground" she shouted, and the trio activated their quirk

The class yelled excitedly as someone was shot.

9:46 pm

Spacegrill: Can I make a suggestion to the rules

dancnqueen: I suppose

Spacequeen: Can we add a 15 second or so period after the shouted says the phrase and when people shoot

Spacequeen: I'd make it more like the floor is lava and let us think about who to shoot more and use the other rules

dancnqueen: hm. Pres?

dad no: Sounds reasonable!

Lesbean: Any objects from the class?

Rocknguys: Speak now or forever hold your peace

Bzzt: is it peace? Or piece?

dad no: I believe that it is piece, Kaminari and Kirishima!

Bzzt: thx dad

Rocknguys: thx dad

dad no: It was no problem! Alas I am not your fathers!

dancnqueen: seeing as there's no objection,

dancnqueen: new rule, there's a 15 second pause after the shouted says the phrase so you can do whatever except shoot

rockngirls: chill

Invisiline: Aw, sweet. We can use the refrigerator rule now

Croak: you'll probably need it

Duct tape: YALL see Midoriya's draw speed??

Duct tape: it's insane

McSplode: I swear to fucking god if you resort to the fucking

McSplode: TEARAWAY PANTS

McSplode: IM KICKING YOUR ASS

Bzzt: hey

Bzzt: dudes gotta do what a dudes gotta do

McSplode: DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE

McSplode: [fuckoff.png]

dad no: Before we stray too far from the topic of suggestions,

dad no: I would like to suggest we alter the requirements of ending the game. Getting one person out 5 times may seem well for a smaller group such as your "Bakusquad", but for a class of 19, it does seem excessive!

dancnqueen: I can see your point. I'm guessing you already have something?

dad no: Indeed! How about, once you are shoot, you cannot be shot again?

BROccoli: Oh! That way, the last one standing is the winner!

Spacegrill: oooooooo

Spacegrill: if be all for the rule, except I lost the face off and would be out

dad no: Do not worry Uraraka! You would still be following the phrase if this rule is implemented!

McSplode: So your telling me

McSplode: that I fucking LOST in the first round

Duct Tape: that is exactly what they are saying

Duct Tape: what if we made it so that we reset the game with these rules?

dancnqueen: Nah

McSplode: ASS

dancnqueen: I do have a nice ass but lemme finish

dancnqueen: gotta room with any new rules we all agree on

dancnqueen: any questions, suggestions or objections

10:00 pm

dancnqueen: Nobody answered, so it's a rule now

Rocknguys: Awesome! This is going to be so manly!

__________________________________________________

Of course Uraraka had failed the standoff. Midoriya was strong enough with his quirk to be able to shoot off the ground and leave an air wave in his wake. Tsuyu had been the fastest, leaping into the air almost before Momo had finished talking. Uraraka had panicked and was disoriented by the shockwaves. By the time she had released gravity on herself and kicked the ground to make her float up, she had been shot in the leg and the shoulder.

It was all in good sport, so she wasn't mad that she was now out. She just had the opportunity to take someone out with her.

After the shoot off, she went back to her room and thought. She didn't have a specific person in mind, or anyone to be petty to (Midoryia and Tsuyu were her friends) like Mina and Bakugo did.

Uraraka thought back to past conversations that the class had in their group chat, to the conversations the girls had in their girls only group chat, and to over heard conversations that Hakagure had heard and shared in private. (That last part wasn't as bad as it seemed. Hakagure listened in only in common areas, and she kept any big secrets to herself)

Uraraka had been thinking for about an hour and a half, and had changed where she was many times before getting an idea. Sitting on her bed, laying on the floor, pacing the floor, pacing on the ceiling (quirks had some interesting uses), and eventually ended up slowly spining while sitting in her cheap office chair upside down, so that her legs were where her head should have been.

She had been thinking back to a story Midoriya had told her during lunch one day when she gasped and fell out of the chair while trying to get up. She got it, and couldn't wait to see the results.

Now she just needed- of course! The class was all going to be going to a picnic party/hangout party at a beach a bit away the next day. That would be the perfect time to cause a bit of chaos.

She texted Midoriya (for discrete-ness), who then texted Iida (double layer of discrete-ness), who then texted the group chat to see who could go. Mostly everyone, except for Sato, he had a doctor's appointment, and Todoroki, who didn't say why but would join later.

That was perfect. She couldn't wait to see the chaos that would happen. All left to do was wait.

Uraraka waited all she could. She waited when everyone was eating breakfast, she waited when they goofoffed in the common room, she waited while everyone loaded their stuff into two cars (somehow managing to call shotgun before anyone else), and waited until a call was made between the cars and put on speaker phone on both ends.

She didn't, however, wait for them to get on the road. Iida didnt evwn shift out of park when she grabbed her gun and leaned toward the phone. She interuppted Iida by shouting "SHOOT THE PRETTY BOY"

Both phone speakers crackled from the yelling in the overcrowded cars.

BROccoli: np

10:26am

bzzt: ?

BROccoli: uhhhHH my hand slipped hahahahaa

__________________________________________________

When Uraraka had shouted the phrase, Iida thought everyone would go for Midoriya. He was very surprised when he looked into the backseat to aim and every single nerf gun was aimed at him. He was pleased that Uraraka had said the phrase while the car was still parked, although they had to take time to pick up all the nerf darts from the floor. Driving with so many passengers was already unsafe, so no other safety risks would be chanced with.

On the drive there, although Iida was concentrating on the road, Uraraka had turned on the radio and the radio host inadvertently gave Iida a very good idea for his phrase and the beach would be a wonderful place to use it. Of course, he gave no outward indication that he had chosen his word so quickly, but he doubted that anyone would have noticed anyways, with everyone being dragged into shout-singing along to the radio with Uraraka. The good side of the sudden sing along was that the drive seemed short and everyone was having a great time.

When they arrived and somehow managed to climb out of the packed car with all of their stuff, the Iida car group found the Bakugo car group already in a swell spot and halfway done setting up a makeshift volleyball court. Everyone from car Iida set up their stuff, or at least dumped it in the general area, before spliting off to join up with car group Bakugo.

The bakusquad dragged Uraraka, Aoyama, Jiro, Tsuyu, and Ojiro into being their opposite team for volleyball once the court was made, half of the remaining class ran to the water, and the rest of the class lounged in the sand, watched the game, sure that it would be amazing, or, if they were Iida and Shoji, prepared to make lunch. That included setting up the portable barbaque and a table to set the food on, going around and figuring out what everyone wanted, and actually making the food. Of course, iida was not a very good cook, so Shoji shooed him away from the grill, claiming he had enough hands. Iida couldn’t argue, so he went to watch the remains of the volleyball game. As he got closer, it was looking less and less like a traditional game, and more of a quirk test. Everyone playing was using their quirk, if they could, and it seemed as though they had different rules for fouls and penalties. When he got there, no one seemed to know the score, and if they did it was wildly different from the other accounts. So Iida, being Iida, stopped the game (ignoring the shouting and explosions from one side), and said he would referee and set a few rules so their score could be accurate. After some talking, he did so. The rules set did not include a way to win, as they were going to play until lunch was done.

Which was much longer than Iida anticipated, and when Shoji finally had Momo get everyone’s attention and tell them that lunch was ready, it was 23 to 24, with the bakusquad in the lead. Bakugo was carried back to the lunch area on Kirishima’s and Sero’s shoulders. Iida followed behind and it was then that he forgot the radio host inspired word he had picked, but upon arriving at the lunch area and seeing that Todoroki had arrived, his mind provided a new one.

He waited for everyone to arrive and get their food before he called it out. Once Shoji set his plate down, as he was the cook and the last person to get his, Iida called out the word.

He shouted with his nerf gun in one hand as he did quick arm movements, “Shoot the cleanest!”

Sand flew everywhere

__________________________________________________

To be fair, Todoroki hadnt realised that Iida was the one who would shout the word. He had gone straight from his mother’s hospital to the beach were they were meeting up, and hadnt looked at his silenced phone along the way. So being shot nine times immediately after showing up was a little disorienting. At least he didnt get a sandy burger like Kaminari did after jumping in the sand to avoid getting shot. While most of the class either is playing just to play or plain forgot about the loser paid prize, Kaminari did not and was playing to win it. Todoroki didn’t care about the prize, he could just take his father’s credit card if he really wanted to. It wasn’t a problem he had anyways, so he didn’t care too much and didn’t give it much thought.

He had to think of a word, and looking around at his class it was very easy to do. The loser was very obivous at the moment however, and he wanted it to more of a surpise who would win. Kaminari laughted at something with Kirishima and Mina and he was pulled out of his head, and got an idea at the same time. He shared his idea to Kirishima, and he took it and called a wrestling contest after lunch. Sato piped in and said he would bake something for the winner, and that got everyones attention quickly. Bakugo called the first fight and everyone scarffed down their food to get to the fight, as it was the msot interesting thing to do at the moment and IIda would not let them in the water after eating until at least 30 minutes passed.

Todoroki insisted on being the ref and a simple bracket was formed to decided the winners. No quirks were allowed, but otherwise it was just like the Sports Festival, complete with a ring. It was made of ice, but it was close enough for A1.

The fights went by very quickly, and the winner was declared. Nobody was really surprised when Midoryia won, but everyone was super hyped up when Mina defeated Bakugo. As the fights were held in the sand, and since everyone is very much into the prize, it got messy and onto the ground a lot. Iida was very glad that the beach was still not quite a well known spot to go to, as there were not many people there to be concerned about all of the shouting happening.

After the fights, everyone gathered to the impromptu award ceremony, to stick with the sports festival feel, and Momo made some dinky little medals for everyone. Todoroki gave the top 3 the medals and looked around the semi circle that was formed. He smiled inwardly and shouted.

“Shoot the dirtiest!”

Hagakure had been having so much fun. This game played to her strengths, being invisible and hard to pinpoint, and having a cash reward. Not to say she was greedy, of course, but she thought she had the best chances of winning and had already thought of what she wanted the others to buy for her.

She was out of the running now for the money now anyways, but in the terms for the best word chosen contest, that will almost certainly happen after the winner is found, she has got to win that. Which means she has to spend some time on it. Everyone else has gotten their word and use it within 12 hours of being shot, so to really make them sweat and remember her word, shes gonna wait at least 24.

And also have a sleepover while waiting, just for the extra umph.

She had been planning to have a whole class sleepover in the common area soon anyways, but this just set the date. She had already made a list of things to do. Well. More a sort of “open in case of sleepover emergency” sleepover kit. With all the things she needed to make sure that everyone would come to the party. Ok, she might have mentioned to Momo, Mina, and Midoriya her idea and gave them a little push to theorize and create and buy what they thought would get everyone into the party. Thankfully they were all for it and…. Frankly went a little overboard with it. The book box under Hagakure's desk that contained all of the things necessary was honestly taking up a lot of room in her dorm. Although, she did have a neat little list that she made all on her own, on how to spread the word in the best possible way so that everyone heard it in the way they needed to.
It did help that she was in all of the mini group chats that A-1 has made. She was in the original one that Iida made for classwork and study help; she was in the girls only one; she was accidently added to the boys’ group, but quickly found that if she never actually spoke it was as if she wasn’t there; she was in the Official BakuSquad Chat, courtesy of Mina; she was in the Dekusquad, though she just asked if she could be added; and she was also in the Birb’s Nest, which was the chat that tokoyami and his friends were in. Pretty much anyone could join that one too.

Since she was in all these group chats, she knew the dynamic that people had based on their online interactions and the interactions that she gets to see at school and in the dorm and during parties, like the one she was planning. Once they were back from the beach, she sent off texts to the appropriate people, asking them to ask someone who was more likely to go if they were asked by something other than a @everyone ping in a group chat. Hagakure waited a few minutes for the people to say they did it, and then sent a simple message in the chat, briefly inviting everyone and then passing it to Midoriya and Mina to explain what all was going to be there (Midoriya's rambles could be very useful) and hyping everyone up to make sure they were going to be there for sure (Mina could do that to people very easily).

She then went to count the money in the “I got an A!” jar that sat in the kitchen to see if they were gonna have to have someone competent cook for everyone or if pizza was the easy way out to feed all 19 hungry teenagers. Luckily, they had an assessment for math the week before that they had a very intense study session for, and she didn't get the general sense of “oh no i bombed that” after so, Hagakure was feeling hopeful. There she was greeted by the bakusquad, minus the namesake himself, about to do the same thing. They glanced at her (er, her floating tshirt and shorts) and did a double take as they realized who she was, and kept their nerf guns handy. She laughed at that and set to work on the money jar while chatting.

It did not take long for her to remember that they had just ordered pizza a few days before when she saw the nearly empty jar. She made a small show of her realization, which brought Kaminari and Kirishima’s attention to the jar, in which they made a even more dramatic show of it by clutching each other and yelling “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” loud enough and long enough to bring Bakugo to the kitchen to tell them to shut up in less nice words.

Upon his arrival, both of them took their show of clutching each other to grabbing him and telling him how awful it was that they couldn’t have pizza for the party, while Mina and Sero came over and pretty much tag teamed him into making dinner for the entire class. As soon as he said he would, they all cheered and Sero offered to go with him to the store so he could get all he needed to make dinner 19 teenage heroes in training. And, as always with the Bakusquad, they all decided to go too and left in a loud slightly explode-y rush.

With dinner plans ready, she went to do the next item on her list. Setting up the common room, involving things like moving the couches and making a large empty space in the center of the room, setting out movies and video game choices for later, setting up the game consoles, ect, ect. When Hagakure made plans, she did not halfass them, that’s for sure. With her handy list keeping her thoughts in order, she could keep busy til the party. She often had help from her classmates, either intentionally (“Hey Sato, could you move the couch to back here-ish for me?”) or unintentionally (The bakusquad came back like they left, loudly, but with groceries!).

It didn’t seem long before people started to trickle into the common room, carrying pillows and blankets and dressed in their pajamas, and for the kitchen to start to smell like something really good. They were a little cautious when they realized how many of them there were in the same room as her, but they seemed to relax as more time went by that she didn’t say the phrase. Hagakure thought that maybe she should see how long whatever Bakugo was cooking would take, but then Kaminari ran out of the kitchen and a pan came with him. It barely missed but everyone unanimously decided to stay out of his way for a bit.

She turned to Jiro, Tokoyami, and Momo and asked if they wanted to play Go Fish with her. Kirishima overheard and immediately wanted to play too. Hagakure then turned to Uraraka and threw Uno at her, telling her to catch. Uraraka grabbed it, then enthusiastically made Midoriya and Iida and Todoroki play with her. As they all got into their card games, other groups formed and started playing games too. A game of Sorry was set up, a hero version of Guess Who, and a way too loud game of Mafia that the remainder of the Bakusquad were playing with some others.

They all, in classic UA style, got very competitive and into the games and barely noticed when Aoyama came into the common area and flamboyantly told them dinner was ready. It took a blast from his naval laser to get their attention, and that only happened since the blast hit Kaminari in the back and he jumped and howled like a cat in water, even though Aoyama made it harmless. That got everyone's attention and once they were all done laughing, Aoyama was able to tell them as sparkly as possible that dinner was ready.

They all filled in as orderly as 18 teenagers can and sat down to eat what looked like very nice curry. Midoriya took one sniff then gasped and dug right in. A few others did the same, but nobody from the bakusquad did at first. They all had slightly pale faces and were eyeing the bowl in front of them warily.

Bakugo then decided to slam down it bowl and glance over all of the people not eating. He sat down with another slam and said very angrily “Its not not as fucking hot as usual, dipshits. You fuckers wanted me to make this, so eat it, goddamn.” He then began to eat his portion of curry, which looked a bit different from everyone but Midoriya’s, who was eating his very fast despite how hot it probably was. Which… actually made sense, since he grew up with them (even if it wasn’t the best…).

Once they finished eating the unsurprisingly good curry, they all went back to the common room to continue their games until everyone finished eating. It didn’t take long but there were some pretty slow eaters. Once they were all there, Hagakure got their attention by air horn, since she isn’t easily seen, and told them that there was a choice between a hero battle game, like Mortal Kombat, or Mario Kart for the TV, that there were several board games that could be set up, and some different card games that could be played. Hagakure also told them that Aizawa had prohibited poker and other gambling games which involve money. She then went to say that he only said that money couldn’t be gambled. Which meant they could get creative in what they gamble. Iida then stood and said that he wouldn’t stop the gambling but as Class President, he would keep the offers appropriate and keep them from going to far.

They then all split off to do the available games and such, all pretty much forgetting the game but keeping their nerf guns with them by habit. Before long, they got so into their games that time passed like nothing and the world outside the windows was pitch-black and it was way past the appropriate time to quiet down. Once Hagakure noticed she nudged Iida and pointed to the clock on the wall, and suggested they switch to movie time, so that they’ll be quieter. He agreed loudly and with a few rapid arm movements, got the attention of the class and told them that they will switch to a movie in less than hour, so they should finish their games within the given time and vote between the movies on the tv stand to help decide the movie.

Some of the calmer groups decided to stop playing there and decide on the movie from the a pre-chosen list right away, while the others finished to find a winner. There was only one group that gambled and Jirou had a very smug expression as she looked at the stack of homemade coupons she had won. Iida had decided that was the easiest way to keep the wagers straight and to make sure the person had paid up. Kaminari whined at his loss, he had put in a coupon for 3 weeks of chores done by him. Jirou pat him on the head and told him she looked forward to his coupon before going to vote on the movie.

Before long, the movie was chosen, a landslide win for 101 Dalmatians, and everyone was bundling up under blankets and, Sato and Sero were making popcorn for the class. The class cheered and clapped when the brought out and passed around the many bowls. And then the lights dimmed and the movie started.

As per usual, there were some whispers during the movie with the occasional handful of popcorn tossed with a “shhh!” at the beginning, and by the time the movie was over, most of the class was asleep and cuddling with someone or other that was by them.

As Hagakure put away the movie and crossed it off the list, she giggled and took pictures of her classmates. Kirishima somehow maneuvered so that his head was on Iida’s foot, his left hand was holding one of Mina’s horns and his feet were in Bakugo’s lap, where Bakubro had a deathgrip on one of his ankles. Momo was being spooned by both Mina and Uraraka as she lied on Jirou’s lap, and Tsuyu had attached herself to Todoroki’s right leg while Midoriya was using his stomach as a pillow and Iida’s legs as a blanket. Jirou somehow managed to get both Sero and Kaminari piled on her. Shoji was completely covering Tokoyami, who was cuddling Ojiro’s tail. Aoyama almost managed to avoid the cuddle pile, but Koda and Sero were using him as a pillow. Hagakure laughed softly again and then grabbed her blanket and laid down next to Uraraka to sleep.

She woke up to half the class gone and the smell of waffles and eggs. She also woke up to Midoriya snoring on her back and her face smashed into Uraraka’s hair and had to very carefully get up as to not wake either of them up. Well, carefully around Uraraka, Midoriya was a very heavy sleeper.

Eventually, Hagakure made her way to the kitchen and sat on the counter. She listened mindlessly to the conversations as she waited for people to wake up. Sato gave her a plate of waffles and strawberries at some point, and by the time she finished most of the class was awake. Only Midoriya, Jiro, Ojiro, Aoyama, Mina, and Tsuyu were still asleep, and with how loud the class was getting, they weren’t going to be for long.

Hagakure got off the counter, stretched, and put her plate in the sink. She then held her nerf gun up and cleared her throat to get everyone’s attention. With a smirk that couldn’t be seen but was definitely heard, she shouted as loud as she could,

“SHOOT THE CUDDLEBUG!”
