"This means they talk"

'This is their thoughts'

Ok! Enjoy the story!

Izuku had many impactful moments in his life and today was one of them! The Big Three were graduating with the rest of their classmates, including Yuyu Haya, Nejire's best friend! The Big Three were standing on the podium waving their hands and wearing smiles that would put All Might's smile to shame, even Aizawa sensei was smiling! Eri had finally learned to control her quirk and Mirio has his quirk Permeation back, he now has a shot at being the number one pro hero again! Blue and white confetti were launched into the sky with air blowers, showering the graduates and parents in pieces of paper. It was cool to see all of them graduate and go out into the real world to protect Japan from dangers known and unknown!

'How can I repay everyone? I want to thank everyone for all that they have done for me! I should host a graduation party at my place! I can invite Tamaki, Nejire, Midoriya and his classmates, and my little favorite one, Eri! I can also open the pool for them to use! Yeah, that's how I can repay everyone!'

Handwritten postcards were sent to Mirio's closest friends the next day and the party was planned for the following weekend.

"Mail!" A robot whizzed around the dorms dropping off some letters to each doorstep. The students of Class 1-A stepped out from their respective rooms and picked up their weekly mail.

Mineta could be heard yelling in joy, he probably got some dirty magazines.

The mail robot was a recent addition to the dorms because U.A. realized teenagers still get mail. Mei Hatsume had created the mail robot and so far it has been efficient. Although, the other week it started smoking and then it blew up right on Todoroki's face. He didn't seem to mind the soot on his face, but Yaoyorozu was freaking out and made a towel out of her quirk to wipe the black substance away. If you looked closely, you could see Yaoyorozu's face was slightly red.

"I got an invitation to Mirio's graduation party?! This is the first time I was invited to a party of any sort!" Izuku exclaimed to himself.

He flipped the postcard over and over and rubbed his eyes to make sure this wasn't a dream, thankfully it was all real.

'My first party ever! I wonder if Mirio invited everyone from Class 1-A...? Is his house big if he can host a party? How many people are gonna be there? Should I go into the party with my hero costume? Is there any dress code on the postcard?'

"Oop, I'm muttering again..." Izuku carefully read the postcard again.

Mirio's handwriting was kind of messy, but Izuku could decipher it enough that he can read it. His address was written, the day for the party was on a Saturday, the time was from noon to nightfall (basically you can stay all day), the pool was going to be open during the day too, but nothing about a dress code.

'Should I even be worrying about a dress code?'

"Maybe I can text him..." Izuku grabbed his phone and quickly tapped away on the keyboard.

He sent the text and not a second later, his phone chimed.

'That was fast.' Izuku turned his phone on and looked at what the text said.

"Hey, Izuku! Thanks for asking, I actually didn't think anyone would ask for a dress code hahaha! You can wear whatever you want as long as it's not inappropriate, but I guess I should save that text for Nejire."

'Wut?... Nejire wearing inappropriate clothing...?' Izuku's brain traveled to the realm of pervert thoughts, Izuku face turned as red as a tomato and he covered his face with his hands. 'Ack! No, brain, stop it!'

"What have you done to me, Mineta?" Izuku mumbled underneath his hands. "He be influencing my life a little too much..."

Another chime ran from his phone and he opened it to see what it said.

"Actually, could you tell everyone to wear something tropical? Or maybe it's too much work for people who don't have it... Whatever the case is, I'll at least tell everyone to find something tropical to wear."

Izuku tapped, "Alright" on the keyboard and sent it.

'Since today is a Saturday that must mean the party is next week-'

His train of thought was interrupted by a knock at his door.

"Deku?"

'Uraraka?! What's she doing here?'

"Uh... One minute, Uraraka!" Izuku scrambled for the doorknob.

Izuku slowly opened the door and saw his best friend standing at the door entrance. She was in her hero costume, gears in Izuku's brain turned and he began to wonder why she was in her hero costume.

"Hey, Deku!" Her smile was the best thing about her. It made every single day seem better than the last.

"H-hi, Uraraka! What are you doing here?"

"I was gonna ask you about the invitation to Mirio's graduation party, did you get one?"

"Ah... Yes, yes! I got one!"

She raised one eyebrow, "Come on, Deku! I'm your best friend, not a stranger anymore! You don't have to get nervous around me!"

"Sorry, sorry! But, yeah, I got the invitation to the party! Are you going?"

Her smile grew wider, "Yup! I want to meet Nejire senpai one more time before she's gone and maybe spend some time with Tamaki and Mirio! Are you going?"

"Yes, of course! I wouldn't want to miss the chance to talk to the graduating class! It's gonna be so fun!"

"Oh! The other thing I wanted to ask you was, do you want to train with me and a few of our classmates?"

"Ahhh... I would love to, but I promised All Might I would train with him today. Sorry, Uraraka but-"

"No, no, it's fine, we had a feeling you would train with All Might-"

"ROUND FACE! WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG!" Bakugou's shout could be heard from one end of the universe to the other.

Panic arose on Uraraka's face, "Alright, it was nice talking to you, Deku! See you around!"

"But-"

Before he could utter another word, Uraraka was already running to the group. Bakugou could be heard shouting some more words, but Izuku couldn't make out what his childhood "friend" was saying.

"I guess it's time for me to go train with All Might, too..." Izuku looked at his phone and saw a few angry texts from All Might asking where he was.

"Oh, no!" Izuku scrambled to get his hero costume on and mentally prepared himself for a hard workout. Hopefully, All Might was willing to forgive him!

A week passed by quick and it was the day of Mirio's graduation party!

Mirio's house was far away so Tamaki, Nejire, Yuyu, and a few other graduates offered to drive them there. Izuku had already laid out his clothes the night before Saturday. It consisted of a plain white t-shirt with a tropical orange button-up shirt tossed on top. The button-up had white hibiscus' scattered across the shirt. He wore khaki shorts on the lower half of his body and PRESTO, Izuku was ready to go to the party!

He got some sandals out from one of his drawers and shuffled them over his feet.

Izuku searched around his room until he found a cute tote bag that Eri had given him. It symbolized her thanks for everything he has done for her so far. In the middle of the bag, there was a cute red apple with eyes and a smile saying "Thanks!" It was something he would treasure for the rest of his life. He stood for a while looking at the bag and thinking back on the time when the Big Three and Izuku had taken Eri to a carnival.

He grabbed his swimming trunks and neatly placed them on the bottom. He walked out of his dorm and made his way to Tamaki's car.

It seemed no one was prepared since everyone was panicking to get ready by 1 o'clock. Kirishima was in Bakugou's room trying to convince him to go, but he wasn't budging.

'If Bakugou went, he would probably ruin the vibe of the party... But what's the reason he won't go?' Izuku had made his way into Tamaki's car, a blue minivan, and sat in one of the middle row seats. While they were waiting, Tamaki turned on some chill music from his phone through the aux cord.

'The music kinda matches Tamaki's personality.' Izuku observed, he continued to gaze out the window. His thoughts eventually landed on All Might's retirement before his thought bubble poofed out of existence.

"Hey... Izuku...?"

Izuku swiveled his head from the window to the rearview mirror where he saw Tamaki avoiding eye contact with him.

"What is it, Tamaki senpai?" Izuku asked in a hopefully soft and nice tone.

"Uh... Nothing... Are you ready for the party?" Tamaki whispered. From the reflection of the rearview mirror, Izuku could see Tamaki shift his glance to the entrance of the 1-A dorm doors.

Izuku also looked at the entrance where he saw his friends coming out with an annoyed Bakugou being dragged by Kirishima.

"Yeah, I'm ready..." Izuku looked at the nervous indigo haired graduate in confusion.

'It looked like Tamaki wanted to say something... Maybe, seeing the rest of class 1-A made him stop? Oop, here they come. I'll ask Tamaki later...'

Each and every single student of class 1-A was wearing some sort of tropical clothing. Uraraka's face lit up as she saw Izuku in one of the cars. She pointed at him and Tenya, Todoroki, and Yaoyorozu made their way to Tamaki's car.

"I'll sit in the front! As the president of class 1-A, I have to make sure everyone is safe... From airbags!"

Uraraka giggled at little at Tenya's antics while Todoroki and Yaoyorozu rolled their eyes.

"Is that it...?" Tamaki really looked like he wanted to face a wall.

"We have room in this car! I'll get one more person to fill up the back!" Tenya ran off to find that one more person. Uraraka sat next to Izuku in the middle row.

A little while later, Tenya brought Tokoyami into their car. He sat in the back next to the window while Todoroki and Yaoyorozu sat next to each other. And they were off to the party!

Tamaki's phone was guiding them with the GPS to Mirio's address. Uraraka made small talk with Izuku along the way. After a while, people were dozing off except for Tamaki, Tenya, and Izuku.

Izuku looked down at the scars on his left hand and slowly clenched his fist.

'Don't worry, All Might. I will become the next Symbol of Peace. Deku, the Symbol of Peace.'

Tamaki pulled into the driveway of Mirio's house. Mirio was standing outside with his tropical attire and greeting people as they came into his house.

"WAKE UP, EVERYONE!" Tenya shouted at the top of his lungs.

Tokoyami's eyes shot open, he glared at Tenya and clacked his beak. "Silence is golden..." He muttered.

They slowly got out of the car and walked over to Mirio.

"Ahh! Tamaki, my best friend! Thanks, for driving our underclassmen!" Mirio lightly slapped Tamaki on the back with his hand.

"Welcome, Izuku, Tenya, Uraraka, Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, and Tokoyami! Everyone is inside and the pool is open! There are some games downstairs in the basement, have fun!" Mirio went on to greet other people.

'Mirio's house is enormous!' Izuku gawked at the sheer size of the house. It was extremely big! Their basement had tons of different entertainments such as game consoles, board games, a ping-pong table, and even a home gym! The ground floor had a huge dining table, a massive living room with a huge TV bigger than the apartment Izuku lived in, and... Actually there were multiple living rooms, each one having a big TV! And the pool outside was huge! They even had a hot tub!

People were everywhere, talking to each other, snacking on some food, listening to music outside by the pool, watching sports on TV, and in the backyard playing volleyball. Tenya had spiked the ball and hit Ashido in the face, which drew a laugh out of Izuku.

"Oh, no... I can't do it..." Tamaki faced toward the wall.

"Don't be afraid, Tamaki-senpai! We're all friends here!" Kirishima put his hand on Tamaki's shoulder, but he was still frozen in fear.

"Mirio told me if you're scared of the big crowd, you can go upstairs and hang out with Eri!" Kirishima gently pushed Tamaki to the staircase.

"Eri's here too? Hey, Deku! Wanna go see how she's doing?" Uraraka asked.

"Uh... Yeah, sure! Let's go!" Izuku, Uraraka, Kirishima, and Tamaki all went upstairs to

When they opened the door, Izuku received the biggest shock in his life! Aizawa sensei was in the room!

"AIZAWA SENSEI?!" Izuku almost fainted.

'Is Aizawa sensei here to make sure nothing inappropriate goes on?'

"No, problem child. You really need to fix you're muttering, I'm here because Eri was invited to the party but I can't trust you, buffoons, to take care of her safely." Aizawa sensei looked ridiculous wearing a dress over his hero costume and playing pretend tea with a few dolls and Eri. There were some tiny sliced apples on a plate next to one of the dolls and some small plastic teacups scattered on the table.

'How did Eri convince Aizawa sensei to wear a dress?' Izuku wondered. 'And why does he look more tired than usual? I guess taking care of a child is taking a toll on him.'

Eri turned around to see who the newcomers were, her face lit up when she saw Izuku. "Hey, Mr. Deku! Do you want some apples?"

Izuku couldn't help but smile. 'Glad to see Eri is warming up to people quicker!'

"Yeah, sure!" Izuku took a slice of apple from Eri's hand and slowly ate it.

Uraraka and Kirishima made some small talk with Eri while Aizawa sensei and Tamaki talked about politics, although it seemed Aizawa sensei was doing most of the talking.

The door opened and in walked Mirio and Nejire.

"Hey, Eri! How are you doing?" Mirio ruffled her hair.

"Mirio, can you not? I spent an hour brushing her hair this morning." Aizawa sensei said as he unclipped the dress around him and laid it on the bed. He still has his hero costume sweatpants on.

"It's okay, Mr. Mirio. I'll straighten it out later." Eri spoke.

"No, it's my fault. I won't do it again Aizawa sensei!" Mirio gave Eri a huge smile and a thumbs up, she smiled back at him and offered a slice of apple which he gladly took.

Nejire made her presence known with her hyper energy. "Hey, guys! It's been a while since I saw my underclassmen!" She greeted each of them quickly before whipping her head around to talk to Aizawa sensei. "Don't worry about Eri's hair, Aizawa sensei! If you need it straightened, I can do it for her with no charge or hidden fees!"

"Okay... Uh... Nejire, could you take care of Eri for me... I spend my weekends sleeping for 48 hours..." Aizawa took his yellow sleeping bag out of nowhere and zipped himself up. You could literally see the letter zzz's forming on top of his head.

"Aizawa sensei, you're always sleepy! But... Just for Eri, I'll take care of her!" Nejire sat down next to Eri and began to straighten her ruffled hair.

'Where did Aizawa sensei hide that sleeping bag? It just appeared out of nowhere!' Izuku observed as his mouth hung open in surprise.

"Hey, guys! Since this is a party, go enjoy yourselves! I'll take Eri around safely and you guys can do whatever you want!" Mirio bent down to give Eri a piggyback ride. She got on his back and held his neck tightly while wrapping her small legs around his waist.

"Come on, enjoy yourselves! Eri's gonna be fine!" Mirio walked out of the room with Nejire and Tamaki close behind him. Izuku, Kirishima, Uraraka walked behind their senpai's as they exchanged goofy faces with Eri. Mirio turned his head around and called out over his shoulder. "Izuku! It's been so long since we talked in person! Wanna hang out with Nejire, Tamaki, Eri and your best friend, Mirio?"

Izuku couldn't contain his joy. "Yeah! I would love too!" Although, his heart fluttered at the thought of being in the same vicinity as Nejire: one of the most beautiful girls in U.A. High School.

'I never really noticed Nejire before... I was so busy spending time with Mirio and trying my best to be like All Might... She's really cute and adorable! I just gotta calm my nerves down, they are friends after all...'

Kirishima seemed to understand that now was a good time to go enjoy the party while his friend, Izuku, caught up with Mirio. "Hey, Uraraka! I bet you can't beat me in ping-pong battle!"

"You think? I used to play ping pong throughout my middle school years, there is no way you can beat me!"

"Ha! You're on! The winner gets money! I don't know how much money I have in my room but once we get back, we'll decide!" Kirishima ran down the hallway to the stairs.

Uraraka followed after him, shouting something inaudible.

Mirio smiled at Kirishima's foolery. He led his friends outside to the balcony, he set Eri down on the ground and unfolded four chairs that were laying on the wall.

"Sit down, guys! We really need to catch up on little Izuku's life!" Mirio sat down on one of the chairs and the rest followed suit.

Eri climbed up on Nejire's lap and sat down with her legs crossed.

"Izuku, you ready to go into your second year?" Mirio pushed his fingers through his hairs to make it stand up more.

"I'm ready, Mirio! To become the number one hero, I'll push myself beyond my limits and work as hard as you have to reach my goal!" Izuku held his hand up and curled it up into a fist.

Mirio smiled at his determination. "It's gonna be way harder than your first year at U.A., every year brings a variety of new challenges and obstacles to overcome... But I believe in you, Izuku! Text one of your senpai's if you need any help with academics and if you need any help with training, hit me up! We can even spar with each other!"

"Sounds good, Mirio! Although we all know who would win..." Izuku said, nervously scratched his head while looking away from Mirio.

"Hahaha! Don't be afraid, Izuku! I learned how to hold back my punches, all thanks to my buddy over here, Tamaki Amajiki!"

Izuku slowly swiveled his eyes towards Tamaki and the memory from what happened in the car flashed across his mind.

"Hey... Izuku...?

"What is it, Tamaki senpai?"

"Uh... Nothing... Are you ready for the party?"

'Wonder what Tamaki was trying to say...? He didn't get a chance to say it because my classmates came out at that moment... I guess... I guess I'll ask him later when I get the chance...'

"Hey, hey! You still mutter a lot, Izuku! What are you thinking about now? Can we put Sero's tape over his mouth to stop the muttering? Hey, hey! Mirio, your little friend reminds me of a broken toy that can't stop talking!" Nejire said as she repeatedly pointed a finger at him and gently whapped Mirio's shoulder with her other hand.

"Eh?" Izuku snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing the "broken toy" part.

"Hahaha! I guess you could say that!" Mirio's laugh reminded Izuku of All Might.

'Maybe Mirio should have gotten One For All...?'

"What? No! Izuku, you earned it!" Mirio said with a thumbs up and gave him a warm smile.

Izuku didn't realize he had said that out loud, he quickly waved his hands around while sweat dripped down his forehead. "Ahh! Sorry, Mirio! I didn't mean to say that aloud..."

"Haha! It's fine, but I wouldn't want it anyways. You're a great hero, Deku! And it was always your dream to be the best hero ever! Speaking of dreams... Did you see us on the news, Izuku?"

"What? You... You got on the news?!"

Nejire barged into the conversation before Mirio could speak. "Yeah, we were featured on the news as The Big Three and said to have the most potential to become the top heroes! They tried to interview us, but Aizawa sensei blocked them from coming into U.A., I wanted to get interviewed, tho!" Nejire said as she pouted.

"Haha! What Nejire said! It was one of my dreams to be featured on the news for something good! They also put some of our feats in the article, listing some of our biggest accomplishments! Imagine us being the top three heroes as Lemillion, Suneater, and Nejire-chan! That would be so cool!" Mirio was staring off into space, probably imagining his goal of saving at least a million people.

"Hey, Izuku! Remember when we went to Tokyo Paradise Indoor Water Park?" Nejire said.

"Yeah... Yeah, I do." Izuku remembered the experience clearly. The graduating class from U.A. had a senior trip to one of the biggest indoor water parks in Japan! Apparently, they could take one of the younger students and the senior class had ended up choosing Izuku to go with them. It was a blast being at the water park! There were so many scary slides that made you dread going on the ride, but once you were in it, the fun began! There were also slides that fit 4 people on a tube, The Big Three always invited Izuku to go with them on the 4 people rides.

"Well, guess what, Izuku?" Nejire was so happy and jumpy that Izuku was afraid Eri might fall off her lap.

This time it was Mirio who barged in. "Ah! Izuku! I forgot to tell you! Most of the seniors are planning to go to the water park again. Do you want to come with us?"

Nejire was tugging on Mirio's shirt with a pout on her face.

"Haha! Sorry! I didn't mean to cut you off like that!"

Her face went back to normal and it was like Nejire was never upset.

"Well? What's it gonna be, problem child? Are you coming with us? You can even bring your friends! But everyone has to pay for themselves!"

Mirio took Eri, fearing Nejire would accidentally hurt her.

"Wha-What? Problem child? Going to the water park again? Paying myself? Isn't that costly?" Izuku brain whirled from the sudden overflow of information.

'How's my mom gonna pay for this? We aren't that rich, I don't want to ask her for money... She works so hard to support us... We are getting by, but I don't want to stress her out...'

"Hey, don't call our little friend, problem child!" Mirio berated Nejire lightly, he turned to Izuku and spoke. "Izuku, don't worry about the cost! I can ask my mom to help you out!"

"What? No... Mirio it's fine." Although in the back of Izuku's mind, he knew it wasn't.

"Izuku, I know you don't have a lot of money... And that's fine! My mom loves it when I make new friends so paying for your expenses shouldn't be a problem! I promise you, Izuku... Don't worry about the cost... We still haven't explored everything at the water park... And this last trip will most likely be the last time we will spend time with each other... So why don't we just enjoy it to the fullest?"

Izuku looked at the ground. 'I don't want to give other people burdens... But he's right...'

Izuku clenched his fist and held it up to Mirio. "I'll repay you back someday, Mirio."

Mirio bumped his fist and ruffled his hair. "Just enjoy the experience, broccoli boy!"

"Yeah, why so serious, Izuku?" Nejire teased.

A smile tugged at Izuku's lip, he let the smile through and nodded his head.

"That settles it! If you want to bring some of your classmates with you, spread the news to them! Let's grab something to eat and have some fun!" Mirio stood up and folded his chair. Mirio lowered himself so Eri could climb on his back.

Izuku folded his chair and leaned against the same wall Mirio got it from. They went downstairs to the dining hall and grabbed something to eat. There was such a huge array of food that it made Izuku's head spin. He hesitated on what to fill his stomach with, they all looked so delicious! There were burgers, chicken nuggets, mac & cheese, rice, curry, beef stew, sushi, and much more, but the one food that caught Izuku's eye was the katsudon.

He prepared a plate of his favorite food combination: rice and katsudon! He grabbed a pair of wooden chopsticks and stuck them into the bowl. There was a cooler next to the table filled with soft drinks and water bottles. Izuku grabbed a water bottle and tried to squeeze it in his pocket to no avail.

'I was hoping I could put it in my pocket if someone bumps into me and I spill my food, but I guess I'll hold it with my free hand.'

Uraraka and Kirishima were also there putting some food on their plates. Uraraka spotted him and waved her hand. Kirishima's plate was piled with rice and an array of different meats while Uraraka's was neatly lined with sushi. Soy sauce and wasabi were painted across the slices of fish.

"Hey, Deku! Wanna eat lunch with us?" Uraraka pointed toward the direction of a smaller living room. It was pretty empty and looked like a good and quiet spot to eat.

Izuku nodded his head and followed the two of them.

"So, Midoriya! How was the talk with our senpai's?" Kirishima asked as they sat down in some comfortable sofa chairs.

"It was fine, we just talked about some... Stuff... Like how the Big Three got on the news, the water park, and a bit about the second year of U.A." Izuku trailed off as he thought about the upcoming water park trip. "Uh... Who won the ping pong game?" Izuku broke his chopsticks and dug into his food.

Kirishima frowned at the question. "Uraraka won the ping-pong game... I didn't think she would be so good at something as simple as table tennis! Now I owe her a few hundred yen... Man, I was planning to buy some new pencils with that money... Not woManly, Uraraka."

"Hey, you promised me! And you're the one who started the bet in the first place!" Uraraka pointed out.

"She's got a point, Kirishima. You did bet you could beat her in a ping-pong game and that the winner will get some money." Izuku sided with Uraraka on this one.

"Fine... But could you buy me a pencil, I don't want to anger Aizawa sensei for not being ready."

"As long as I get the money, sure!" Uraraka broke her chopsticks and lifted a tuna nigiri into her mouth.

Kirishima rolled his eyes and quietly poked at his food with chopsticks. "Did you guys notice what's wrong with Bakugou?

"Huh? What about Bakugou?"

Author's Note: Yah a cliffhanger... I am starting a romance fanfiction and I am happy with where it's going. I know I said I will post other stories, but I used those stories to practice my writing skills so I might not even upload them. My grammar and spelling got better from writing fanfiction so maybe I can apply it to college next year!
