It was time to get ready for the Expo so I had to dress in something formal. So, I went with a cute, slightly off-white dress with light red rims. I put on a hairpin with the design of a peony flower to complement the frills my dress adorned.

I had my mother tie my hair into a neater, classier bun before I gently pulled some strands down for some style-balance.
Instead of wearing my usual glasses, I took out my special eyewear from my hero costume to wear instead. I preferred to wear it, it looked nicer.

Earlier that day, before I returned to the hotel, I was told by my friends to meet up with them at 6:30 p.m. at Lobby 7 of The central tower. Plus, we managed to invite Kaminari and Mineta to the expo as well! Apparently, they managed to get a job as a waiter in one of the restaurants here for the holidays to make some extra cash.

"Mom, Dad, I'm meeting my friends at The Central tower later so you guys head to the expo without me. I'll go there with my friends later once everyone has arrived at the meeting spot." I informed.
"Oh, okay then. Do you know how to get there?" My mom asked. I reassured her and said goodbye before leaving the room.

I hope I'm not late...

I reached the lobby and saw a few of my friends (Kaminari, Mineta, Midoriya, Todoroki, Haruka, Iida, and Uraraka) already there.

"Sorry to keep you guys waiting..." I apologized, stepping out of the elevator.

"It's alright, almost everyone's late," Haruka joked with a shrug

"It's alright, almost everyone's late," Haruka joked with a shrug.

Yaoyorozu and Jiro step out of another elevator together.
"I apologize, but Jiro..." Yaoyorozu said while Jiro held onto her from behind shyly.
"I'm not used to wearing something so formal..." She shyly said.
"The clothes make the man, am I right?" Kaminari said. "She looks like a female assassin," Mineta added, which led to the two of them having Jiro's earphone jack jab their ears. 

I wanted to lift Jiro's mood and complimented her, saying that the dress complemented her. She gave me a smile and a thank you.

I straightened my skirt, "I haven't worn something this formal in like... ages."
"Feels nice to wear a cute formal dress," Haruka said.

Then, Melissa walked out of the elevator. She wore a cute blue dress and a red headband, her smile radiating. "Oh, you all are still here? The party's about to start!" She said,

Unsurprisingly, Kaminari and Mineta were amazed by how great she looked.

Iida continued to try and call Bakugo and Kirishima a few times, but it was no use. Neither of them was picking up. I was about to try texting them but then my signal died.

At that moment, an announcement was broadcasted in the building.

This is an announcement by the I-Island security system. We have received a report from the security system that an explosive device was placed in the I-Expo area. I-Island will currently be on high-alert mode. Residents and tourists should return to their homes or lodgings. Anyone still outside within ten minutes may be arrested without warning. Please refrain from going outdoors. In addition, the majority of the main buildings will be sealed off by the security system.
