"The gym's closing!" Kirishima announced, sitting on the floor of the gym with Sero beside him. Koda is next to him, standing up. "Let's do a final check and one last run-through!"

[Name] stands with Bakugou, Jirou, Yaoyorozu, Kaminari, and Tokoyami on stage. On one of their sides, Aoyama, Shoji, Hagakure, and Ojiro stand on the stage and the other side is Uraraka, Asui, Iida, Sato, Todoroki, and Mineta. Ashido stands in front of everyone, needing to observe everyone's movements. All of them are dressed in their U.A. PE uniforms.

Ashido's clapping her hands. "Here we go!" The dancers start dancing and Ashido is instructing them, "Tap, tap, two! Tap, tap, two! Up!" Midoriya stands somewhat in the middle. "Then, Aoyama, center. Midoriya, run offstage."

"Oui."

"Roger!"

Ashido points at Midoriya. "Midoriya! Your movements are still half-hearted." She moves her arms. "Focus your attention on the moves!"

"Roger!" Midoriya replied.

"Before we started, I was worried we'd seem amateurish, but the band and dance teams are both better than amateur level, huh?" Sero asked, gazing at those on the stage. He turns towards Kirishima beside him. "Ashido is unexpectedly mean coach, too."

"Yeah," Kirishima said. "Because she likes dancing, she can be really serious about it, huh?" Kirishima's eyes drift to [Name] and Bakugou, seeing the two of them listen to Jirou and share a few quiet words with each other. "The band team weren't the only ones who got stirred up by those words."

"I am getting nervous," Yaoyorozu voiced, moving her hands as if she was in front of an electric keyboard. (Or is it a piano?)

Jirou's moving her hands as if she was playing a guitar and looking to Bakugou. "Don't improvise weird stuff during the actual performance." Bakugou has a scowl on his hands in his PE pants. "It'll confuse some people."

"It's hard to keep up when you throw weird stuff in," [Name] voiced, bumping Bakugou with her elbow and he glares at her.

"Those words hurt!" Kaminari added, his hands pretending to hold a guitar.

Tokoyami placed a hand on Kaminari's shoulder. "Kaminari, it's not just you."

"And then Midoriya, go straight to the ceiling from the wings and set Aoyama up," Ashido shouted, walking towards Aoyama who has the harness on his torso with the rope attached to the back of the harness. "Pulling him up with the rope." Midoriya does exactly as Ashido said, pulling Aoyama up as the blonde has a smile and his arms out, posing. "That's it, that looks good!"

The doors slam open.

"It's already! Nine o'clock!" Hound Dog shouted, growling. "Students should only be here till nine!"

"Shoot, let's go home," Kirishima said.

Despite Class A leaving, they still practice outside of the gym once more, but after they finished the run through, they all walk towards the dorms. [Name] is excited, but a bit nervous, this going to be her first time singing in front of a lot of students. Although, it'll be fun because she'll be doing this with her friends and she hopes that those who watch will enjoy it. Especially Eri is going to the School Festival, too.

However, it seems that [Name] and her friends cannot sleep.

11:35

"Woo, I can't sleep!" Kaminari exclaimed, throwing his hands up.

"I'm at max excitement!" Mineta added.

The two boys are running around in circles as [Name] sits on the couch, sitting between Kirishima and Ashido. Iida and Jirou are sitting on the couch, too although Iida looks nervous and isn't saying anything. Jirou looks a bit afraid, her knees to her chest. [Name] turns her eyes to Kaminari and Mineta, the two of them a bit loud for those who are sleeping.
