Ochaco sat in the common room with the rest of the dorm. It was the morning of the 24th and it was the last time they'd see each other in the dorms for a while since everyone went home for winter break. Everyone was instructed to stay in their pj's for the unwrapping of gifts. Ochaco sat with a cup of hot chocolate Momo and Sato handed out and Mina was stuck under the tree rummaging for all the gifts. She was in charge of distribution.
"Okay! I think that's all of them, we can do a double check after everyone's opened a few," she called from under the tree. She crawled out and checked the tags for names. She collected a few small ones and distributed them, she started off with the small gifts and pretty soon everyone had at least 3 small gifts in front of them. Some of them were the anonymous gifts that the girls had bought. Mina was especially shy handing hers to Kirishima, before moving onto gift bags, and then the larger gifts. Once she had finished there was a pile under the tree, gifts that were meant for her and Toru since she sat next to the tree.
"Is everyone ready to unwrap some gifts!" she called excitedly, she got a cheer back from everyone in the room. "Who should go first, any suggestions?"
"Tsyuu should open one of the small gifts she got!" Ochaco called.
"You've been nominated Tsyuu! Open one," Mina said to the green haired girl. Tsyuu picked up the longer box, and carefully removed the wrapper. It was a long box, she lifted the lid and lifted the necklace out of the box and held it, her eyes were wide. It was a small gold frog with a green gem on its back. Ochaco swelled with pride as she saw her friend admire the gift.
"Wow, that's so pretty!" Mina said, "does it say who it was from?"
"uh I'm not sure," she said before looking down in the box, there was a small card on the bottom of the box. "Ochaco... you didn't have to get me something like this!" Tsyuu said a giant smile on her face.
"It was for all the help you provided me with this past year," she smiled.
"Who's next?" Mina asked. And it continued, and pretty soon it was her turn.

She grabbed a small gift and turned it over. She hated ripping wrapping, and this wrapping was beautiful, the paper was a deep purple with pink spots all around. She opened it and saw a small black square box, she popped the lid off and a gasp escaped her lips, a beautiful golden locket stared back at her, it was shaped like an oval. It had a pattern on it and something red shone through the gaps in the patterns. She opened it and a heart-shaped ruby red jewel lay inside. Engraved into the stone were words, but she dared not read them aloud. She removed the gem and inspected it before noticing that the locket had something else engraved on it too. She felt her cheeks burst into a blush and she put the gem back in its place and sealed it. She placed the beautiful gold locket back in the box and looked around the wrapping and box, but there was no name as to who gifted it to her.
"That's gorgeous!" Toru spoke up breaking her out her train of thought.
"Thank you to whoever got me this, it's beautiful," she said and then it moved on until it reached Deku who opened his gift from her first. And then it continued. Kirishima loved his little boxing glove and then it was Bakugou's turn. Unlike everyone, he went for the bigger gift first, her gift. He looked over the wrapping and carefully removed it, he picked up the bright red fabric and unfolded it. It was a bright red scarf that she had seen after her encounter with her soulmate. The red just stuck out to her and she wasn't really sure why it stuck out so much, but she bought it anyway. The colour reminded her of the sting on her pinky, much like her gem did the same. Bakugou's eyes were wide as he held the scarf, she couldn't read his expression.

"Wow Bakugou, that's an amazing scarf, suits you actually," Kirishima said and Bakugou looked over at him.
"Next!" and so it went, everyone opened their gifts until wrapping was strewn all over the floor. The whole class got ornaments from Momo, each representing who they were, and Ochaco got a star, to signify her quirk, the Bakugou's also gifted everyone one of those plush creatures they saw the day they went shopping. She got a little blue mouse called a Marill.

Todoroki got two smaller ones, a white and brown squirrel looking creature with 8 tails, called a Vulpix. Kirishima got rhino looking one called a Rhydon, Deku got a lizard looking humanoid thing called a Machop, and Bakugou got two, he got a small squirrel looking one, that was called a Flareon and another larger one, it looked like a lion and a dog mushed together, it was called an Arcanine. Everyone got one that reminded Kasumi of the students. Ochaco picked up her gifts from her classmates and walked to her room and placed them all on her bed. She had received two gifts from the anonymous gifts, the locket and a small keychain of a moon. She looked at the locket, disregarding the moon, she opened it and read the engraved words aloud.

"Listen to your heart," she whispered reading the heart gem and then the back of the locket, "It will lead you straight to me," she felt her heartbeat and swell at the beauty of the gift and suddenly she was in the dark room again she stood holding the locket in her hand. She felt his arms snake around her middle as he hugged her from behind. She moved into his embrace as they stared at the locket.
"I see you figured out how to do this again," he whispered.
"I haven't, this kinda just happened," she said softly.
"I'm glad anyway, I hope you like it," he said.
"It's beautiful," she smiled down.
"I loved your gift," he said placing a kiss on her neck, ever so softly, sending shivers down her spine.
"Can I ask you something? It's been bugging me,"
"Sure," he replied.
"Why did you say that you didn't love me?" she asked and she heard him suck in air.
"You wanna talk about that huh?" he questioned.
"Yeah, I do,"
"It's a lot to explain, I'd prefer to do it in person," he whispered. She moved out of his grasp and turned to face him, but before she could say anything further she gasped. Instead of seeing a black silhouette with basic features like last time, his one eye was visible. She gasped at the colour, it dropped her possibility of three down to two. Those unique, beautiful coloured eyes only belonged to three of her classmates, and she knew it wasn't Fumikage...

The girls of year three stood in the lounge area of 3B's dorm room. The girls had taken the whole dorm to get dressed in while the boys took 3A's. The girls stood in bathrobes as they had taken the time to take a bath and pamper themselves, some of the girls were helping with nails and hair while others helped everyone get ready, suggesting jewellery with the dresses and keeping the mood light. They'd made and bought some snacks to munch on while they got ready. Ochaco was munching on a cheese straw while sitting with Kendo. They watched as the girls interacted and giggled about things.
"The vibe is so nice," Kendo sighed, looking around.
"It is! It's amazing,"
"I think we should start getting ready, its pretty late and it starts in 2 hours, and we need to help Hagakure," Kendo said getting up. She called the girls and told them that they should get ready. The girls rushed to grab their dresses and separated into little corners to get dressed. Ochaco was shy to remove her clothes, in case one of the girls mocked her for her lacy lingerie, so she picked up her robe and made it hover in front of her. She put her dress on and waited for the others to finish getting dressed. Once they had finished she grabbed her robe and put it on, being too shy to show anyone.

"I wanna see everyone's dresses!" Midnight said poking her head in through the front door. She stood in the middle of the room and saw that everyone had hidden their dresses with their bathrobes. "Oh! This makes it so much more fun!" she squealed. "Okay first I want my favourite mushroom to show me hers!" she called on Kiniko. The brunette stepped forward and removed her robe slowly, revealing her white dress with black polka dots, it had a sweetheart neckline and straps that covered her shoulders, it hugged her nicely till it reached her waist, where a red belt sat, and then it flared out and stopped at her knees, she wore white heels that gave her a few inches to her height. It truly was beautiful, she showed that she wanted to clip her fringe back so people could see her eyes.
"Stunning!" Midnight cried, and the room agreed. "Next I'm thinking my transparent sunshine, Toru show me your dress!" The invisible girl removed her robe and a beautiful strapless dress appeared. It was corsetted and flowed out to her mid-thigh, it had beautiful blue gems that faded into white on the corset and she wore a pair of blue flats.
"Wow! Toru! When we doll you up Ojiro is going to fall flat on his face from shock! You look beautiful!" Mina gasped. The room burst into a fit of compliments agreeing with Mina.
"Aww, you guys!" Toru squealed.
"Stunning my dear, now because you spoke up, Mina I believe it's your turn," Midnight smiled. Mina removed her robe sexily, causing the girls to giggle. Underneath was a beautiful purple dress, like Toru's it was strapless and hugged her full figure beautifully. It was a lot shorter and hugged her all the way down. Underneath her breasts was a sparkly belt that had a veil flowing down to her ankles, she wore a pair of strappy purple heels.
"Very racey," Toru poked her friend teasingly. She wasn't even wrong, she was showing a fair amount of cleavage, but she was shameless.
"Pony your turn!" Midnight called to the blonde. She removed her robe and showed her form-fitting black and teal dress. It was shoulderless and the sleeves reached her hands. The top half was black and the lower half was a beautiful shade of teal. The skirt reached her midthigh and she wore knee-high boots, a darker shade of teal, but it fit well.
"Amazing! Yui," Midnight called. The dark haired girl stepped forward and removed her robe revealing a simple black cocktail dress with long sleeves, the skirt flowed out slightly. She wore stockings underneath her dress and a pair of simple black pumps. "Simple yet elegant, Itsuka!" She called and the redhead removed her robe without hesitation. It was a modern twist on a traditional Japanese dress, it had the high collar and then a stripe diagonally down from her shoulder and down to her hip. The skirt had a similar effect with the opposite side revealing a white skirt diagonally down and the skirt fluttered out. The Sakura flower pattern on the white of the stripe on her chest and the skirt were a light blue. The rest of the dress was navy blue and she wore navy blue heels. The room stood in awe of the amazing dress, it beat everyone else's by far in Ochaco's opinion, it expressed Kendo so well.

"Reiko I think you should show everyone your dress!" Setsuna called out.
"Then you have to as well," Reiko said quietly.
"Fine!" Setsuna called. Reiko and Setsuna walked forward and Reiko removed her robe, revealing a white off the shoulder dress with elbow length sleeves. It fit comfortably and flared out and reached just under her knees. It was stunning. Setsuna took her robe off as well and showed a very racey dress, even more than Mina's. It was an off the shoulder sleeveless dress. The bust was complicated, the fabric connected to the sleeves covered her breasts and underneath them was open, a single strap on each side connected to the middle, a belt-like fabric clung to her midriff, being one of two pieces of fabric wrapping around her exposed back and it clung to her hips and flared out in a mermaid style. It was a floor length racing green dress and it definitely was very racey. She wore a pair of green stripper heels that matched the dress.
"Very eccentric Setsuna," Midnight smiled, "Who's next? Ibara!" she called on the green-haired girl. She walked forward and dropped her robe on the pile of robes on the floor and revealed her white dress. It was lacey and sparkly, but very simple. The shoulder straps were lacey and across her collar bones and down to the bust. There was a gap of skin between the collar of the dress and the bust. It hugged her comfortably, the lace travelled to a belt in the middle of her dress and faded as the skirt flowed down. It was a very straight and flowy dress but it was stunning, matching her beautifully. She wore white flats.

"Wow, Ibara!" Momo spoke, she had sparkles in her eyes at the gorgeous dress.
"Show me yours, Momo!" the green haired girl clapped. Momo obliged and removed the robe to show a gorgeous scarlet red dress. The dress was a sleeveless halter dress with a crisscross of the straps at the back. It had a belt under the breast and led down to a flowy floor-length skirt with red heels. She looked amazing.
"Three more robes left to remove," Midnight smirked. "Kyoka lets go," She called. Jirou sighed and removed her robe to reveal a very beautiful black and red dress. It was very punk like. It had sleeves that covered her shoulders, a bust that was corsetted with a sweetheart neckline, it clung to her well and flowed out at the hips, flaring out slightly, and she wore combat boots with the dress.
"Wow Kyouka, it's very you, Ribbit," Tsuyu said.
"It's beautiful Kyouka," Ochaco smiled. Jirou blushed and looked away.
"Tsuyu you're next," Midnight sang. The green haired girl removed her robe to reveal a gorgeous green gown. It was a sleeveless halter neck like Momo's and flowed out like a gown. It was floor-length, with a small green belt on the waist. It was a jade green dress and fit her beautifully, she wore a pair of green heels that fit the dress perfectly.

"It's your turn Ochaco, Ribbit," She smiled. Ochaco sighed and walked forward. She removed her robe to reveal a beautiful black dress. It was an off the shoulder, lacy dress. The sleeves were lace and reached her wrists, the top of the bust was straight and the top clung to her, hugging her waist as the dress flared out. It started off short in the front, mid thigh length and got longer down, flowing out to the back until it reached the floor, she wore knee high black lace up boots with it. She felt her face flush as the room became noisy with compliments and astonished gasps. She was originally going to go for a pink dress but this one stuck out so much she needed to buy it.

"I know the perfect necklace to go with that!" Momo gasped before scurrying off to Ochaco's bag, she pulled out a necklace and ran back. She placed it on her and Ochaco looked down, the locket her soulmate gave her. "Perfect!" she clapped. "Now let's get started with makeup, hair and project Toru!" she squealed as the group scurried around to grab things. Ochaco giggled in all the excitement, tonight would be a night to remember.
