Over the next few days, the countdown for the Annual October Lantern Festival that was held at UA was finally here. It was the following week after the School Festival, so it was very jammed packed. Thankfully, it was mostly the teachers and Hero Commission who were designing the day -or rather the night it was taking place.

And speaking of night, every single night, when Komi went to sleep she had a very distinct dream. Maybe it wasn't even a dream, it was really just an outstretched memory turned into something it was.
And every day that Komi woke up from that dream, she grab the blanket flaps from beside her and stare at her ceiling like it knew exactly what she was dreaming about.

Chat, why was she dreaming about Bakugo?

About those 4 seconds she took from the concert to just look at him.

That memory had been playing in her mind during her sleep, and this time it was so much longer than four seconds. There wasn't any sound, nor was there any conversation the two had. But from time to time, Komi dreamt that Bakugo was standing in a different place, in a different outside, but Komi just looked at him like she did before.

And every time Komi woke up, she would have to slap her face each time because literally why was she dreaming about Bakugo? And why was he getting outfit changes? And damn he looked good in green. -However, that is not the point.

And this point did not stay in Komi's mind for the rest of the day, and especially not up to when Aizawa dismissed the class for the day.
"I want you all to remember that you must wear the garments UA has given you. I'm sure you all read the list of expectations, and I'm sure you all know that this event is only open to students and heroes. Go back to the dorms, eat something and be ready by 4:30. You're dismissed."

"There was a list of expectations?" Denki swiveled around and asked the second Aizawa walked out the dorm.

Iida sighed, but dug into his pocket and started to hand out long lists of paper. "I, myself, have read through each of the expectations and rewrote them all for you. Denki, here's a copy I made specially for you."

"Oh, thanks!" Denki smiled and took his paper, seeing how it had stickers and fun coloured pens that went down in a rainbow form as Iida wrote them. There was even some pictures for him.

Komi got one that was the same as everyone else's, save Denki's of course. The list just included the expectations that everyone was meant to uphold and also a detailed number of the school rules that still applied for the festival.

"Now, I have been informed that the garnments we are required to wear have been tailored to our sizes and have been delivered to the dormitires. However, I advised that we all share dinner and then dress ourselves." Iida explained. "We only have an hour, so let's get kicking!"

With a few groans in the class, everyone got up and quickly shoved their books and pencil cases into their bags. Each of the other classes from all other years were also walking back to the dorms. Although, as the path to the building got near, the third years travelled to the right and the first years travelled to the left. The second years had it easy, as most of their building were smack bam in the middle.

1A, of course, was on the very end -but it almost meant that it came with a bigger courtyard -something that Komi was making sure that she was spending her time to uphold and keep pretty. She was even growing some plants with the help of Kota, Momo, Sato and Uraraka.

But the courtyard wasn't all that a big issue at the moment.
For about 5 minutes, the class discussed over what to have for dinner, and when Shoto went up to his room and them promptly came out with a massive bulk packet of instant soba...something that Komi didn't even know existed. Although, Christmas was coming up, so she made sure to remember the brand name.
