     The snow fell as Jiro, Ochako and a few of Jiro's other friends walked into the bakery. It was Christmas Eve and they needed a few more things for their Christmas party, mostly food.

     The quiet bakery was suddenly overcome with footfalls on the wooden floor. It was empty, other than the cute worker at the cash register, Jiro noted.

     Kaminari walked up to them and began flirting with them, Mina looked at Jiro just as she shook her head. A small smile adorning Mina's lips.

     "I'm sorry for him." Jiro pushed Kaminari out of the way, earning a pout from the boy.

     The worker didn't respond, but the amused smile that she saw let her know that they hadn't minded. "What can I get for you?" They asked in a surprisingly low tone. Almost like the third year she knew, Amajiki.

     "Some cookies, if you don't mind."

     "Not at all, how many batches?"

     "Oh uhm," Jiro looked behind her, their were a lot of classmates missing, including Mineta, but she chose to ignore that fact. "I think 1o batches of 20 should be alright."

     The smile dwindled on the cashier, "when do you need them by?"

     "Tomorrow morning..." Jiro glanced back at her friends with worry evident in her eyes, "why is that okay?"

     "Oh, no it's fine." They said, "just that being this close to the holidays, we're kind of short on most of our sweets."

     "Oh, that's fine." Jiro sighed, "I understand, take care." She turned to walk away, hearing the many sighs from the classmates that were in fact there. They were pretty loud, but even if they weren't; Jiro's quirk would have caught them easily.

     "See, this is what happens when you forget to do you part Kami!" Mina scolded.

     The group made to walk out of the bakery when the low voice of the worker called out, "wait!"

     The group of four turned around, "I can have the cookies ready by tomorrow," they said, calculating something in their brain, "if you give me the address, I can have them with you by 8:00."

     The group seemed to light up after hearing that. "Yes, that's fine." Jiro walked back over to the counter, "do we pay now?"

     "Yes, please right down the address for me." They smiled, unconsciously analyzing themselves to make sure they looked alright, and the girl in front of them, who looked like a goddess Zeus had dropped off at the wrong destination.

     "What's your name?" They asked, then blushed a little as if they forgot themselves, "I- I mean whats the name on the order."

     Jiro looked up, a half grin playing on her face, "Jiro. The name on the batch is Jiro, but this one..." she pulled Kaminari into preview, "is paying for it."

     Kaminari waved with a grin. "Hi, remember me from about 2 minutes ago?"

     The cashier covered their mouth to keep from laughing, "yes."

     Again, their voice caught Jiro off guard, if she wasn't aware off how rude it would have sounded she would have told them right there that they were the cutest creature she'd ever met, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Of course Jiro had more reason than Kaminari.

     "Uhm this is... UA campus." The worker said, looking down at the address. They only knew of it because their cousin went to UA in the supporting department.

     The group nodded knowingly, "yeah, I'll tell the campus guards to expect you." She said, "our dorm number is easy to spot, look for all the Christmas lights and wacky Santa man."
