Toga wakes up on sunday morning and walks downstairs. She peers past the stairwell and sees everyone out again. She walks out, but instead of dirty looks, she gets smiles. "Happy birthday Toga." Kurogiri says, his voice shaky. Toga pays no mind to that though. Kurogiri reaches behind the bar and places a drink infront of Toga. "We finally decided to let you have alcohol. Happy?" Shigaraki says. Toga, overwhelmed by the sudden kindness takes the glass. Dabi looks away in anger. He gets an idea. "Hey Toga. How does it smell? I bet it smells horrible." He says. Toga lowers the glass from her mouth and smells. "Smells like... Weird." She raises the glass again and Dabi's face falls. Damnit. She takes a sip and Dabi squeezes his eyes shut. But before she can swallow, her eyes widen and she spits it out. "T-thats poisoned. I-I can taste it..! I-its lethal poison too! You... Your trying to kill me!" She begins to tremble and her eyes water. "You failed this team Toga. Its your fault one of our strongest is dead. We were just eliminating the weak link." Shigaraki said, getting up. Toga, frightened, bursts out the door and downs some of a random UA student's blood. She goes to Ochaco's dorm, almost in tears. She knocks. No answer. Everything starts to spin and the tears are barely held back. "Um.. Can I help you?" Toga turns. Standing beside her is Ochaco. Toga looks around and turns back into herself. "Ehh?! Toga? What are you doing here?" Ochaco asks. She cant take it anymore. Toga bursts into tears. Ochaco, having deja vu of when they first became friends, hugs her and walks her to her bed. "What happened?!" She asked, closing the door and sitting beside Toga. "I-I thought they remembered my birthday, and-and it would be nice, b-but they poisoned my drink! My own friends... My FAMILY!'' Uraraka's face shifts into an angry expression. "They did WHAT." She yells. Toga sobs into Uraraka's shoulder and her face softens. "Hey, its alright! Its ok." Ochaco says comfortingly. Toga sniffles but has mostly calmed down. "I have a surprise for you..!" Ochaco says. Toga looks up. Ochaco wipes the tears from her eyes and walks to the door. Toga follows and they walk away from UA, through the empty nightridden city, and into an alleyway. Ochaco opened the door to the building next to them and entered, only to turn to the door leading to what would be the back yard. To Toga's surprise, there was a Cherry tree decorated in paper lanterns and lights. Underneath were Candles spread over the grass, and a picnic blanket covered with food. Ochaco took her hand and Toga felt a rush of adrenaline. They sat and ate, drank, talking and laughing. It began to get cold out, and Ochaco pulled out another blanket and wrapped it around The both of them. She put her arm around Toga and whispered "Happy birthday.." Toga blushed. She had never felt this way before. And for a hero?! No. No she wasn't...in love with a hero.....was she?
