59: Getting Ready For The Pageant
Our supplementary classes were finally finished so we could all help. "Well, it seems like everyone else has something to do. What could I do?" I ask. "You could help with vocals!" Jiro says. "Uhm, no thanks it's too big of a crowd..." I say. "But you sang in front of all those people at I-Island and there are fewer people here than there was on the island." Toru says. "I think Jiro should sing it was her idea." I say. "Well, you can dance right?" Mina asks. "Yeah!" I say. "You could dance then! And I could help you learn some new moves!" Mina chirps. "Ok then! It's settled. Everyone has a job...now let's do our best, you guys!" Iida says. And so began our preparation for the school fest!
-Next day-
I walked around the city with Ochaco, Mina, Pony, and Kaya looking for a dress for the pageant since I needed one and I didn't really want to wear the ones I had so we were stopping by a few shops to look for one. "Ooh! Look at this one!" Pony says stopping by a dress shop that had a dress on display in the window. It was a lacey pink dress with a small bow around the waist. The color was closer to a rose pink than a pinky pink but I liked it. "It looks so cute!" Kaya says. "I think it'd be awesome on you!" Mina says. "Same." Ochaco agrees. We walk in and ask for the dress and I try it on. I step out and all my friends look at it in awe. "It's so pretty!" They all say. "You think? I really like the bow part around the waist." I say adjusting the bow.ย
"It makes you look taller than you actually are." Kaya says with a smirk. "Yeah well compared to you I'm built like an ant." I say. "I'm pretty sure Kaya's taller than everyone here." Ochaco says. "I think you should buy it! It looks super pretty on you!" Mina says with a bright smile. "How much is it?" Pony asks. "I don't know let me check..." I say looking for a tag. "Woah!" I exclaim. "What is it?" Everyone asks. "It's only 4,400 yen!" I say showing the price tag. "Wow! You'd think for a dress that looks that nice it'd be a bit more pricey." Mina says. "But hey you didn't pass the budget you set!" Ochaco says. "You're right!" I say.ย
(4,400 yen is aboutย 40 USD)
I bought the dress and then we looked around town before heading back to the dorms. We had to start practicing for the festival and I was on the dance team! I had taken dance when I was younger but it's been a minute since I've used it again. "Ok! I think to start off we should do something simple!" Mina says. "How about something like a pop dance! The song will probably be close to that so we should do that!" I suggest. "Ok then! If we're doing pop then a simple sidestep would be easy to start with." She says. "A sidestep?" Deku asks. "It's what it sounds like. You move side to side while moving your arms a bit. Ribbit!" Tsu says. We practiced that for a bit and everyone got so great at it. We then started on some bigger moves and the effects team stopped to show us what they had planned.
"Oh hey, Togata!" Deku says. He waves his arm in the air and I could see he was waving to Mirio trying to hide in the bushes. Probably to pull a funny joke on us which is basically him. I could see someone else with him too. "Eri!" Ochaco, Tsu, and I say as the girl stands there. She wears a red dress with yellow buttons and a white shirt under it. She also has some black leggings and brown boots. She had a brown bag with flowers on it around her chest aswell. She looked so cute and adorable! We all run over to her with smiles. "Hey! Eri, you look so cute!" I say giving the girl a soft smile. "Your dress is super cute too! Ribbit!" Tsu says. "You. Are. Precious!" Ochaco says throwing her hand in the air. Iida and Mineta walk over and introduce themselves to the girl. She moves behind Mirio's arm in a shy manner.
Must be hard seeing normal people since she's been out of society for so long. "And I'm Iris! You never got to meet me but I was there and helped save you!" I smile crouching down to her level. "H-hi..." She says. "Iris, Your parents and your little sister are setting up for the festival with their cafe stand today aren't they?" Mr. Aizawa asks. "Yes sir." I say standing back up to normal. "Togata is showing Eri around campus before the festival so why don't you go with him and so Eri could meet someone her age." My teacher suggests. "I'd love to! You're going to love Mia! She's been wondering about you since she heard from my brother." I smile at the girl. "A s-sister?" She asks. "I'll explain later..." Mirio says. "I'm going to show Eri as much of the school as possible so she knows what we all do here!" Mirio adds. "Hey! Why don't you come to Midoriya!" I say. "Yeah, sure!" The broccoli boy replies.
We all take a break and change back into our uniforms. Mirio, Deku, Eri, and I head out to walk around campus to show Eri UA. Eri clung to Mirio by his jacket as we walked down the third-year halls. "It's still the weekend but having the students live on campus there are people running all over the place to prepare for the festival." Mirio says. "Hey, it's Togata!" A business course third-year says. "Woah! Who's that? Don't tell me your temporary leave some school is because you got a kid now!" The other third-year says. Mirio just smiles and doesn't try to deny it. "He's kidding calm down!" I say. They handed us papers for a lecture. Must be what they're doing for the festival. I say to myself.ย
We walk around the gym areas and where people set up cafe stands and things next. There were a bunch of people walking around preparing. "Hey! Iris! Mirio! Can 'ya help me here?!" I hear my brother's voice call. I could see he was caring three boxes and coming this way. "Yeah, sure one sec!" I shout back. I run up and grab the top two for him. "Thanks!" He says. We walk back to the three and Ricky looks down. "Oh hey there! You're Eri, I'm Ricky!" My brother says smiling at the girl. "H-hi." Ero says moving behind Mirio again. "Ma, Pa, and Mia are setting the cafe's stand up, you guys wanna come see?" Ricky asks. "Yeah!" Mirio says. "Mr. Aizawa said that Eri might want to meet Mia since it's someone her age." I say to my brother.ย
"Well, that's great! Mia's been bored so a friend'll help." He says. We walk over to my parents' stand and set the boxes down. "Iri!" Mia says jumping up from her seat and giving me a tight squeeze. "Hey, sweetie." My mom says. Mia looks over at Eri. "Wow! You're so pretty! I love your dress! And your hair! Is that horn a part of your quirk? Like my sister has horns?" Mia says jumping up and down. "Ok Mia calm down. The girl has gone through some stuff so give her a minute to process it." Mom says. "Can I hug you?" Mia asks Eri. "Hug?" Eri asks. "Yeah! It's when someone who cares for you or likes you wraps their arms around you to show affection!" Mia says. "Like this!" She says before giving Eri a hug. The white-haired girl was very taken aback by this and didn't know what to do.ย
"So cute!" Ricky and I say clenching our chests. "Iris! Come on you gotta go and get your stuff for the pageant!" I could hear Kaya say running to us. "Sorry to interrupt! But we need to go and get your stuff. Kendo just reminded me and I forgot to come to tell you. Pony is already getting your dress and makeup we just need to get Mina and Ochaco." Kaya says panting from running. "Oh shoot! Yeah, Mina and Ochaco said they couldn't do it because we have all the prep work for our festival thing so it's just you and Pony." I say. "Ok, but we need to go!" Kaya says grabbing my wrist. "Bye!" I wave to my friends and family as I run off. We make it to the pageant room and start on my dress and picking shoes to go with it. Nejire and Kendo were there aswell.ย
They were doing it aswell. "You still haven't figured out what to do for the talent part?" Pony asks and she applies some blush to my makeup. "Noope!" I say. "You could do something with Animate," Kaya suggests looking through some shoes I had laid out for options. "What about these?" She asks holding up a pair of sparkly white shoes that had a small two-inch heel. "Hmm, I don't know seems a little too sparkly." I answer. "What could you use Animate to do?" Pony asks. "I don't know, I could make some shapes and move them around to some music or like a dance I guess." I say shrugging my shoulders. "You can use them as steps right?" Kaya asks. "Yeah...oh! I know I could use animate to make a bunch of things and float them! I could make one big art piece!" I say. "Sound super cool!" Pony says.ย
I notice three familiar faces in the corner of the room near where Nejire was. "One-sec Pony!" I say getting up. "You guys are here!" I say. "Wow! You sure picked out a nice outfit Iris!" Mirio says. "I know right! It's super cute on her!" Nejire says. "Hey! Neji I got those hairpins you wanted!" I could hear Ricky say. He ran in with a plastic bag that had some cute hairpins in them. "Oh yeah! Thanks, Ricky!" Nejire says floating back down to the ground. She runs to give him a hug and a small kiss on the cheek. "Hey! Keep the NejiRick down! I can smell the romance over here!" Kaya says from across the room. "Wait you two are dating?" Deku asks pointing to Ricky and Nejire. "Mhm!" Nejire nods. They leave shortly and make their way to wherever next. I went back to prepare for the pageant.ย
I found a pair of shoes I liked...finally.
