"Mr. All Might doesn't seem all that happy, these days," Midoriya noticed as said teacher sifted through papers.
"You haven't heard?" Uraraka said, leaning forward in her chair. "His wife is in America and won't be back for Christmas."
"Wait, seriously?" the green-headed boy asked. "How do you know?"
A handful of students looked in Uravity's direction, and she sighed. "I...may or may not have been eavesdropping on a phone call he had with her."
The students all sighed, wondering if there was a way to help out their teacher. "Well, why can't she come back?" Jiro asked.
Uraraka shrugged, but Momo leaned into the conversaion a little. "Maybe...we can sneakily get her phone number and talk to her?"
"How would we do that?" Kaminari asked, suddenly interested. In fact, everyone was leaning into the conversation, thankful that their teacher had left the room. Even Bakugo was listening.
"Well," Momo began, "Midoriya is closest with All Might, so he can be our distraction! While he's doing that, a few people are lookouts while...Hagakure grabs his phone and writes down the number! Then, she'll put the phone back, and we'll be on our way!"
"That...doesn't sound half bad!" Kaminari said, smiling. "So, during lunch?"
The class nodded, and Bakugo even decided to help out. He didn't even know why, he just couldn't stop himself.

"All Might!" Midoriya called, waving to the teacher. A floating set of clothes nearby let him know that Hagakure was ready. He also saw his classmates basically surrounding the area, keeping a lookout. "I want to talk to you about...the exams! I know they're far away, but I want to study!"
The blond teacher, although bearing a smile on his face, was obviously not happy, but still talked to the student. "Trying to get ahead? Ah, it never hurts to study, but don't work too hard! You should know..."
Midoriya paid absolutely no attention as All Might rambled on. In the outskirts of his vision, he saw the teacher's phone slowly lifting out of his pocket, before a pen began jotting something down on a piece of paper. Quickly enough, the phone was returned, and the gloves gave Midoriya a thumbs up.
"Wow, thanks!" Midoriya said, cutting off the teacher. "That's really helpful, I'll get on that soon!"
He waved as he walked off, much to the confusion of the teacher. However, when All Might saw Midoriya begin to happily chatter with his classmates, he couldn't help feeling proud. The kid had gone from being an outcast to having so many friends. It was amazing.

"Hello?" Momo's voice said into the phone. "Is this...All Might's wife?"
The phone was on speaker, and the entire class was sitting around it, waiting for a response.
"Who's asking?" came a calm, pretty voice on the other end.
"I'm Momo Yaoyorozu, one of his students," Momo told her. "I was hoping to speak to you."
The lady sighed. "Ah, a student? How did you get this number?"
"...Do you promise not to tell All Might?" Momo asked, sounding like a child.
The lady chuckled a little. "I won't tell him."
"We stole his phone and found it," Momo admitted.
"That takes a bit of effort," the lady replied. "Why do you want my number?"
Momo looked around at the classmates, who nodded. "A friend of mine overheard All Might talking about you not being home for Christmas. He's devestated, to say the least. We wanted to help get you here. No one should be without family and loved ones on Christmas."
