"The gym's closing soon!" Coy looked over her shoulder, and down at Kirishima as he shouted towards the large group on the stage, sitting beside Sero and Koda, "let's do a final check and one last run-through!"

Coy yawned, turning to face Ashido as the girl clapped, leaning against Bakugo, ━━━the blond didn't protest, especially with the look he received from not only Kyouka, but Uraraka and Momo too, as if challenging him to push Coy off and upset her.━━━

"Here we go!" The pink skinned teen shouted, and the dance team that surrounded the band team began to move to her orders, "tap, tap, two! Tap, tap, two! Up! Then, Aoyama, center. Midoriya, run off stage!" The two males shouted their agreements, before the greenete was suddenly stopped, "Midoriya! Your movements are still too half-hearted. Focus your attention on the moves!"

Kyouka turned to them, taking this as her chance to give a few more pointers towards the band, mostly pointed towards Kaminari, "don't improvise weird stuff during the actual performance. It'll confuse some people."

"Those words hurt!" Kaminari whined.

The mint haired teen turned towards the yellow blond, tilting her head.

"And then Midoriya, go straight to the ceiling from the wings," she looked back as Ashido made her way across the stage, shouting up at the mentioned male, "and set Aoyama up, pulling him with the rope." The sparkly blond was pulled to the ceiling, hands outstretched it a strange pose, "that's it, that looks good!"

There was a sudden slam, and Coy jumped, hands latching onto Bakugo's bicep, peeking around him to find Hound Dog to be the cause of the loud noise, "it's already! Nine o'clock! Students should only be here till nine!"

The class sweatdropped, before deciding to pack up quickly and make their way back to the dorm, Coy keeping a firm grip on Bakugo the entire time. ━━━It wouldn't have been a problem, but Bakugo hadn't realized how strong the smaller was. And having a certain brunette boring eyes into your back wasn't exactly great either.━━━ Coy only released Bakugo when Uraraka approached her after they began to make their way out of the gym, choosing to hug her hazel eyed friend around the waist instead, ━━━Bakugo had to hide the sigh of relief when he began to get the feel in his arm again.━━━

When the class reached the dorms, most had chosen to head to their dorms to sleep, while others stayed back, too excited and worked up to sleep. Tomorrow was the school festival, and everyone was excited for the performance they were to put on, they were going to, kill U.A. with their sound, after all.

Coy was among those that couldn't sleep, so she decided to stay in the commons with Kyouka and Amarok, ━━━who was the only one still awake of the three myths that have been staying with her, instead of returning to their dimensions.━━━

"Quiet down! Some people are still sleeping!" Ashido scolded Kaminari and Mineta who were being loud and hopping around.

"I wonder if everyone will get excited with us!" Coy glanced at Iida, who seemed incredibly tense, more than usual.

Kyouka faced him, waving her hand absently, "it's better not to think about that." She placed her hand to her chest, cheeks slightly pink as she looked down, whispering, "getting embarrassed or nervous is the worst. Once you get on stage, all that's left is to have fun!"

"You were super embarrassed though!" Kaminari teased.

"That was different."

Coy pat her friends shoulder with a small smile, and Amarok lifted his head from where he lay at their feet, placing his head in her lap. Kyouka smiled at the two, patting the wolf's head.

"I think..." Coy signed, head tilting as she seemed to think over what she was going to say, "I think, I'm excited."

Coy was still getting used to a lot of things. Being able to freely express her emotions was one of them. And this festival, preparing for it and planning, it seemed to be helping her with that. Maybe not a lot, but it was still progress.

Kyouka smiled, placing her hand on the girl's shoulder, "good. Me too."

Their attention was taken from each other, and to the conversation going on at hand, "sorry I didn't realize..." The rope that had been used to lift Aoyama during practice was frayed.

"Oh my," Kaminari grinned, sliding behind Midoriya and talking in strange and pitchy voice, "why don't you ask Yaoyorozu to make you one?"

"Yaomomo's already sleeping!" Ashido told the boy, "don't treat her like a handy tool!"

Coy huffed, cheeks slightly puffing as she grew upset with the offer to use her friend in such a manner. She wasn't the only one, Amarok lifting his head from Kyouka's lap, growling at the golden blond in distaste. ━━━He seemed to favor Momo out of all of Coy's friends, well at least of the females. He was also quite close to Bakugo.━━━

Midoriya looked back at them with a smile, "I'll go buy new rope first thing tomorrow morning. I'm the one who didn't realize it was frayed. I've got morning practice anyway, and there are some other things I want to buy, too."

Coy blinked, remembering the conversation she and Midoriya had not too long ago. They wanted to surprise Eri, so she and the boy had decided to make her some candy apples, being after finding out there wouldn't be anyone selling them during the festival.

"Wait, but the performance starts at ten tomorrow. Most stores don't open till nine, right?" Kaminari frowned.

"There's a hardware store about fifteen minutes from U.A. That place opens at eight."

"That's cutting it pretty close."

Coy looked up as Kyouka stood, stretching her arms over her head, Ashido and Iida doing the same.

"Now, I really should be getting to sleep." The bubblegum colored teen yawned.

"Well, then, we'll probably do this again tomorrow, but━━" Kirishima slammed his fists together, "Night owls! We're a little early, but," he threw his fist into the air and everyone copied, Coy raised hers lightly, "let's definitely make this a success!"

"Yeah!"
