Butterfly Kisses Part 1

Chapter 42: Early Christmas Planning

"I hope Hiko's okay on her mission, going alone." The students from Class 3-A who didn't have any work to do decided to meet and discuss a very important event.

"Okay so Christmas is a few months away but we've all been friends for two years so we should all do something super cool!" Kaiyo smiled merrily.

"It's our last year at U.A as well." Kugutsu chimed in.

"We probably won't be able to meet like this after we leave either." Mitsuki, as emotionless as ever, added.

"Way to ruin the mood guys." 

"They're not wrong, so we should do something even more extravagant, right?" Takumi thought.

"We've already been through so many things together so...I think we should go the extra mile." Kana spoke in between sips from her hot chocolate. Her monkey tail curled around her leg to keep itself from being crushed.

"Anyone got any ideas?" Kaiyo asked.

"What about renting out a theme park?" 

"Koneko we're students not millionaires." Kugutsu sighed.

"Tickets to Babymetal's next live performance?" 

"Not too bad, but not everyone would enjoy it." Kaiyo and Kugutsu sighed in unison.

"A trip to the beach?" Mitsuki asked.

"I like that idea. It'll be dry and sunny which is perfect for beach weather." Soraia remarked.

"And I think everyone will like it." Kyokuuta said quietly.

"So we're gonna have a beach party?" Kaiyo asked.

"Yep." Everyone replied. 

"Guys," Kana sighed, "which beach?" 

"Ooh ooh what about Yonaha Maehama?!" Koneko grinned.

"That beach is widely regarded as the most beautiful beach in Japan so I think it will be great." Mitsuki added.

"How much is that gonna cost?" Kaiyo jotted down 'Yonaha Maehama' in her notebook.

"Lemme check, hold on." Kugutsu pulled her phone out, quickly searching plane ticket costs.

"The highest price for a ticket, from Naha airport, is 34,658.70 yen." Kugutsu sighed again.

"For one?" She nodded in response.

"All of us are going, right?" 

"Yep, and the U.A staff if they're not busy." Okami put his arm around Kugutsu's shoulder and she leaned onto his chest.

"Okay so if everyone can come then that'll be thirteen staff members and seventeen students which is...1,039,761 yen." Everyone immediately relaxed, the number wasn't as high as they thought it would be.

"That's definitely affordable." Okami slouched in the chair he sat in.

"We have a where but not a when, who and what." Kyokuuta pointed out.

"It definitely shouldn't be Christmas Eve or Christmas Day." Kugutsu said.

"I can't do Boxing Day, I'm at the hospital for my checkup." Okami pointed at his stomach.

"I can't do Boxing Day either. Family from abroad are visiting." Koneko added.

"Okay so how about the 29th? That should give everyone enough time to have fun with family and pack all their essentials." Kaiyo noted that down.

The door suddenly opened; Mirio, Tamaki and Nejire walking through it. Tamaki leaned up against the wall, Nejire sat with Kaiyo and Mirio sat next to Mitsuki.

"About time, where were you guys?" 

"Me and Nejire were ready to go but Tamaki wanted to ring Hiko to see how she was." Mirio scratched the back of his head.

'You said you wouldn't tell anyone.' Tamaki got annoyed, on the inside.

"How is she?" Everyone turned to look at the little elf in the corner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Tamaki? Hi! Why are you ringing me?" Hiko asked while trying to be as quiet as she could be.

"I wanted to ask if you were okay but you sound fine." Hiko chuckled.

"Yeah, I'm alright. How is everyone?" 

"They're the same as always." 

"Good, good. What about you?" Tamaki somehow managed to stay calm, but his face turned a light pink.

"I'm okay." An empty void of silence stood between them for a few seconds. "Oh,  I almost forgot. Mirio wants to know what you're up to." 

"It's pretty boring. As soon as we got here, we were all split up. Me and Tancho are in charge of protecting the princess but I don't think she needs it." Hiko sighed, slumping into the chair behind her.

"Oh. Do you know when you'll be back?"

"No, sorry. It shouldn't take more than a few days. I'll text you if anything happens, okay?"

"Okay. I'll see you when you get back. Bye."

"Bye!!" Nejire and Mirio shouted down the other end of the phone. It caught Hiko by surprise and, before she had a chance to say hi to them, she hung up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"She said she's alright." He muttered.

"Good. Anyway, we've got a where and how much it'll cost. We're thinking of going to Yonaha Maehama, on the 29th, and it'll be about 1 million yen" Kaiyo looked at the three of them. They were completely fine with the idea but Tamaki groaned on the inside.

"Staff too?" Mirio asked.

"Yep." 

"Cool!" Mirio almost punched the air.

"We still need to ask them so we don't know exactly how many members of staff are going with us." 

"That and our schedules could change at any second." Soraia added.

"I guess all we can do is wait."
