Bowling

     "Are you sure this is a good idea Mina?" Tsuyu asked Mina, who was lacing up her bowling shoes. Mina looked up and smiled at Tsuyu.

     "Of course I'm sure!" She exclaimed happily. "Why wouldn't it be?"

     "Well, it's just... we're having a war... at the bowling alley.." Tsuyu said, her voice trailing off as Mina's smile grew.

     "I know! It's gonna be so fun!" Mina cheered. She looked over behind Tsuyu and pointed. "Look! There they come now!"

     Tsuyu turned around to see the other team, which consisted of Bakugou, Denki, Mineta, Kirishima, and Izuku, walking towards them. They were all looking very determined, not a very good sign for Tsuyu and her team.

     "Where's the rest of our team?" Tsuyu asked Mina, turning back around to face the pink alien girl.

     "I think their still changing," Mina answered with a smile. Tsuyu let out a "ribbit" and looked down at her outfit.

     MIna had thought it would be fun if the girls' team wore matching outfits. So now Tsuyu was dressed in a sparkly pink romper and white sneakers, something very much out of her comfort zone. Mina was wearing the same thing, and the other girls would be, too.

     "Hey, girls!" Denki called out with a wave of his hand. The boys approached Mina and Tsuyu, who smiled at them. 

     "Where's the rest of your team?" Izuku asked, looking around for the other girls.

     "Changing, I think," Mina answered. Mineta's eyes widened, and Mina gave him a dirty look.

     "You ready to get your asses beat?" Bakugou said with a smirk. Mina smiled at him.

     "You wish you were better than us," She shot back. Bakugou raised his eyebrows, and Denki let out a laugh.

     "I won't lie, you girls are pretty good at competitions," He started. "But we all know the boys are superior."

     Before Mina could respond, Momo, Ochaco, Jiro, and Toru walked up behind her. Tsuyu noticed Mineta gawking at the six of them, and she hit him in the face with her tongue.

     "Hey, guys!" Ochaco said brightly. She met Izuku's eyes and smiled. 

     "Oh, hey Ochaco," Izuku said, returning a smile.

     "Okay, you all ready to play?" Mina asked, pumping her fist in the air eagerly.

     

     As the teenagers bowled, talked, laughed, and ate pizza, not a single person wasn't smiling. Well, except for one.

     Mina noticed Mineta sitting by himself, watching everyone else play with a frown on his face. Mina bit her lip, then turned back to the others.

     "Be right back, guys," She said. She walked over to Mineta, who looked up at her.

     "What?" Mineta said quietly.

     "Uh, are you... okay?" Mina asked awkwardly. Mineta stared at her.

     "No. No, I am not okay," He answered dramatically. Mina tilted her head in confusion.

     "What's the matter?"

     Mineta's eyes welled up with tears. "I-I-I... I'm too short to bowl!!" Mineta let out a loud, exaggerated sob, which made Mina flinch.

     "Okay, okay, okay, calm down!" Mina exclaimed, raising her hands. "Calm down!" Mineta quieted down and looked up at Mina. "Why can't you bowl?" 

     "Because I'm too short," Mineta answered. He sniffled. "Whenever I try to roll the ball, it- it makes me fall forwards onto my face. It's too heavy..."

     Mina stared at him. Are you serious? "Okay, it's okay... It's okay, Mineta, we can- we can fix this," Mina started. She looked around at the ball rack. Mina walked over to it and picked out a super small purple bowling ball. She brought it back to Mineta, who took it nervously.

     "You think this'll work?" He asked Mina. Mina gave him a smile.

     "You can at least try, right? Come on, it's your turn next!"
