Just A Friend (TSUCHAKO)

The Beach!

The students looked out the window and talked to their peers as they saw the crashing waves. "We're here!" Uraraka grinned, nearly jumping out of her seat. The bus came to a stop, and Aizawa opened the doors. Almost immediately, the UA students rushed out onto the hot sand and towards a small building that served as the changing rooms. Aizawa didn't bother to chase after them, and instead put on some sunglasses as he parked the bus. He set up a small area with colorful towels strewn across it and a large umbrella providing some shade. Once the students were done changing they ran to the waves and began to swim and mess around. Others started playing beach-volleyball, and a few were sun-tanning. The weather was warm, but not hot enough to exhaust the energetic students as they played in the ocean. Tsuyu sat in the waves, letting the water wash over her as she closed her eyes. Ochako decided to join her, sitting down next to her and beginning to talk. "This is nice."

Asui opened an eye, momentarily giving her a blank stare until she realized it was Uraraka next to her, not some stranger. Her eyes lit up as soon as she recognized her friend and she smiled. "Mm-hmm! I love the waves, they feel great."

"I'm so glad this isn't another boring field trip! This was such a great surprise!"

"Totally, ribbit."

Uraraka took a moment to relax and feel the water run over her, before lightly splashing Asui with some water. "Gotcha."

"Ah, in that case-" Tsuyu splashed water on Uraraka with both of her hands, Ochako squeaking as she retreated further into the ocean. "- I got you too!"

"This means war!" The brunette declared, skimming her arm along the surface of the water to spray her friend. Both burst out into giggles as they chased each other around, trying to splash each other. As they played in the waves, Tsuyu splashed some seaweed onto Uraraka who squealed.

"Eek! Something slimy is on me!" Uraraka spun around in a frenzy trying to get it off.

Asui laughed, moving over and plucking some seaweed off her leg to show to her. "It's just some seaweed, silly."

"Oh-" She got red from embarrassment, shrugging it off with a laugh "-I totally knew that!"

"Sure, ribbit." Tsuyu nudged her in the elbow lightly. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you were afraid of seaweed!"

"I am not!"

"OoOoooOo!" Asui shook the seaweed in the air with a grin, hanging it close to Uraraka while making spooky noises.

Ochako couldn't help but laugh at the situation, holding out her hands to block the plant from touching her. "Ahaha- no! It's so slimy!"

"It sure is, it's weird to touch." Tsuyu tossed it ashore, turning back to Uraraka with a small smile. "I'd prefer to not touch any more seaweed."

"Agreed."

"Hey, what are they doing?" The green haired girl pointed past them to Izuku, Todoroki, Bakugo, and Kirishima. Izuku was on Todoroki's shoulders, and Kirishima was on Bakugo's. The two were grappling with each other while on top of their friend's shoulders in an attempt to knock each other down.

"Oh, Chicken-Fight! It looks like fun!"

"We can try it with a few people if you'd like, ribbit."

"Sure!" Uraraka waved at Ashido and Hagakure. "Hey, you two! Let's play Chicken-Fight!"

"Okay!" The two responded in unison, swimming over. Hagakure put Ashido on her shoulders while Uraraka swam near Tsuyu and set her on her shoulders. Uraraka was slightly taller and had a bit more muscle, so she was able to do this easily.
