The coming weeks were spent purely on the concert preparations. Everyone was working themselves to the bone, asking you for advice here and there. In the end, it was decided for you to be the grand announcer and backstage manager since you didn't want to steal their spotlight. Before long, the big day arrived and last minute preparations were being made.

"Deku I still think it's cutting it close to leave now before our debut. Anyways, don't do anything stupid or else I will place a tracker on you," you joked, smoothing his shirt.
"Y- yeah Sensei, don't worry," he stuttered before running out.
"Honestly surprised you haven't placed one on him already. I mean Hosu, Camino and the Yakuza? Just how much trouble can he get into?" Kaminari laughed.
"C'mon phone battery, get the shirt on the grenade then we'll talk," you smiled.

Last minute preparations were going well so far other than the fact that it was quite literally last minute and Mydoria still hadn't appeared.
"Sorry I'm late!" Speak of the devil and he shall arrive.
"Mydoria, hurry and change. We're running late. I'll stall," you sighed.

"Testing, 1, 2, 3. It works. Morning everyone, how are you all?" You asked the roaring crowd. Most knew you, whether it was from the news or from a lesson you took for them in school.
"That's some spirit there! Well, give it up for our very own class 1-A with a special performance!" You announced before flying up to the wings (he he see what I did there? K I'll leave now) to watch the performance and help with set.

"I think you guys did a pretty good job, everyone seemed to enjoy it," you told the hyperactive teens while they were cleaning up.
"Birdie! Mr. Deku! I saw your performance!" Eri squealed as she began to ramble on about her favourite parts.
"That's nice Eri, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Want to see the rest of the stalls?" You offered the beaming child.
"Like a date?"

"Mirio Togata I will ask you once and once only. What exactly have you taught this child?" You hissed at him.
"Nothing. I just offered- oh. Now I see where I might have done something a tad bit crazy," he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Oh well. Not quite like a date but more like quality time with sisters," you explained.
"Oh. Can you be my sister?" She asked, eyes wide and pleading.
"Wait if I say yes is Eraserhead my dad?" You turned to Mirio. "Yes Eri, I can be your big sister," you smiled back down at the girl in your arms.

"What did you do now problem child?" Eraserhead asked as soon as you walked into him, carrying Eri on your shoulders.
"You're technically Eri's guardian right?"
"I don't like where this is going."
"I may have accidentally become her temporary sister so does that make you my temporary dad?" You asked him.
"Nightingale. How are you the number two hero again? Forget that, how are you still alive?" He sighed, exasperated.
"Are you not going to be my dad?" You whimpered.
"Fine. Now go enjoy the festival, problem child," he smiled slightly.
"C'mon Eri, what do you wanna do first?" You beamed up at the soft spoken girl.

"Guys, the beauty pageant is soon. Sensei can we watch that? Nejire is participating!" Mirio yelled, excited.
"Guess we're heading there first. Neji better win this year," you decided.
"I bet she will. She's just that type of person. I couldn't bear doing that type of activity in front of a crowd. Flaunting myself and my quirk, just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt," Tamaki groaned clutching his stomach.
"Lighten up Tamaki. That's your best friend there isn't she? She's looking for your support," you chuckled at the anxious third year. The audience had filled up pretty fast, everyone trying to grab the best seats.

"Senpai! How come you didn't come to watch our play?" Monoma called out to you.
"Don't tell me I missed that! Did someone film it?" You groaned, disappointed you missed the comedy play.
"Good morning Everyone! Welcome to this year's beauty pageant!" Mic yelled through his, well, mic.
"Who gave that man a microphone? His quirk literally makes his voice loud already," you clutched your ears.

The pageant didn't take much time but you loved Kendo's performance. Deathly beauty. The fact that she managed those moves in a dress without flashing anyone astounded you.
"I gotta admit Monoma, for someone as crazy as you, signing Kendo up for the event was a great idea. The reason you did it however," you stopped yourself from continuing, remembering you were holding a child that you didn't want to turn out like Bakugo. But even that was enough for Monoma to visibly gulp.

The rest of the day went by in a flash and soon you were saying goodbye to Eri. Mydoria gave the two of you a small surprise just before she left.
"Candy apples? Where'd you find this? I looked everywhere in the stalls but couldn't see any," you asked.
"Well I got the ingredients when I went shopping this morning, it's the making that was difficult. I remembered Eri liking them but since there were extra I thought I could make one for you as well. As an apology for this morning," he explained.

"Don't worry about it Deku, we managed to get through it and no one's hurt. Thanks for the candy though, it's been forever since I had them," you smiled at him as you nibbled on the tasty treat.
"It's so sweet. It tastes really yummy, thank you Mr.Deku!" Eri beamed.
"Aizawa's going to kill us if we keep her any longer. Keep her safe Mirio," you parted ways with the pair before heading into the dorms with Mydoria.

"Nightingale-Sensei! Mr. Aizawa has informed us of a visit in the coming weeks, do you know about this?" Iida asked you as soon as you stepped foot in the common room.
"Don't know Iida, I'm sure it's important though," you mumbled.
"It's been a great night but I'm tired, I'm heading to bed guys," someone groaned out. Soon after everyone followed to bed leaving you alone with Todoroki in the common room.

You were on your phone reading the hero news for the upcoming leaderboard announcement when Shoto broke the silence.
"Did you hear? You've officially overtaken Hawks. Your tied position is split now," he said.
"I was actually just reading the articles for the board announcement. How does it feel with your father being number 1?" You asked.
"You know what he did don't you? How he got the public's approval is beyond me," he seethed.

"I know what he did, but I also hope he'll try to correct his past mistakes. If he were given the position of number 1, even for a short time, he could change his attitude. Don't give up on him completely Shoto," you said. "I'm going to sleep now. I won't ask you to forgive and definitely not to forget, I won't be doing that either. I'm asking you to give him a chance. Good night," with that you got up and went to sleep.
