Hanging Out with the Girls

Mika used one of the library's ladders and grabbed few books about mythical creatures. Mika also found a book about some alien creatures; she was surprised, "That's a first..." she said lowly.

Mika climbed down the ladder; she took a seat at a table and began reading the books. One page Mika looked through talked about water fairies; she looked at the description

It said they could manipulate water with ease and can create their own water. Mika got her hand in her pocket and pulled her phone out of it. Mika looked at the pages, "I wonder if they're considered animal creatures?" she asked herself as she took pictures of them.

Mika turned to a different page and saw the description of a kitsune. The description said that kitsune can manipulate fire and time and making illusions of itself and other things to confuse people.

Mika nodded, "It might be best to learn more about this creature very well." she said as she took pictures. Mika looked at the book about aliens and saw one alien creature with exponential psychic abilities, "That one looks interesting." she said.

Mika looked down, "But since it's an alien creature, I know nothing about them." she continued. Mika turned to the abilities page, "So... it's best to learn about its traits." she said as she took the picture.

Mika continued reading the books and yawned a bit, *I wonder how the others are doing after yesterday?* she thought.

Mika was too focused on reading that she didn't notice someone was next to her, "Lyoko?" she panicked at the unexpected voice. When Mika turned to her left side, she calmed down when she saw Momo, "Oh... hey Yaoyorozu." she said, "I didn't know you were here, sorry..."

Momo shook her head, "It's alright." she said as she sat next to Mika, "To be honest, I'm surprised to see you at a library this early in the morning." Mika blushed a bit and looked away, "Oh... well you know what they say, 'the early bird gets the worm.'." she said.

Momo giggled a bit and looked at the books. Momo picked one of them up and looked through it, "That's a lot of mythical creatures in this book." she said to herself.

As Momo turned to Mika, she blushed a lot and fiddled with her thumbs, "W-Well... I like to go to the library to know more about mythical creatures and alien creatures for my Quirk." she said.

Mika looked down, "I know it's a weird hobby, but-" Momo stood up, "No it's not!" she shouted, startling her, "If this is what you like to do, then I'm fine with it!"

The librarian shushed Momo, making her jump a bit. Momo apologized to the librarian and sat back down, "Anyway, what are you doing here?" Mika asked.

Momo turned to Mika, "Well... there are some things I would like to address." she said, "The first part is about how we should address each other."

Mika tilted her head, "What do you mean, Yao-" Momo moved her finger in front of her mouth, making her stop. Momo moved her finger away, "I would like for you to call me Momo." she said. Mika looked at Momo confused, "What?" she asked.

Momo nodded, "I would like it if you called me by my first name and I will do the same for you and the others, Mika." she said; Mika tilted her head, "Others?" she asked. Mika looked at the entrance and saw the other girls enter the library.

Mika turned to Momo; she rubbed the back of her neck, "Before I talked to you, I may have told the other girls to meet at the library." she said.

Mika nodded as the other girls took their seats, "Hey there." Mina said. Mika waved to them, "Looks like everyone is here." Momo said.

Tsuyu looked at Momo, "Was there something you wanted to say, Yaoyorozu?" she asked. Momo nodded, "As the matter of fact, two things." she said; they looked at her, "What is it?" Ochaco asked.

Momo took a deep breath and exhaled, "The first thing I would like for all of us not to address each other formally." she said. Most of them were confused, "What does that mean?" Kyoka asked.

Mika looked at them, "She wants us to call each other by our first names." she said, "For example, if I wanted to hang out with Jiro casually I wouldn't say 'let's hang out, Jiro', instead I would say, 'let's hang out, Kyoka'."

Mika pointed to herself, "And she would call me Mika instead of Lyoko." she continued; they nodded in understanding. Mika turned to Momo, "But are you sure you want us to do that Yao- I mean, Momo?" she asked.

Momo nodded, "I'm sure that if we call each other by our first names, all of us would have a stronger bond." she said. They smiled and nodded, "Then it's settled!" Momo said, "For now on, we'll call each other by our first names."

They were happy, "What's the other thing, Momo?" Mina asked. Momo cleared her throat, "The second thing I wanted to say is that I think all of us should have a girl's day out today." she said.

They looked at Momo, "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Tsuyu asked. Momo nodded, "After the USJ incident, some of us looked a little stressed out or depressed." she said, "I believe that us girls could hang out together and do a bit of shopping together."

They looked at each other, "Count me in!" Mina shouted, making the librarian shush her. Ochaco smiled and nodded, "Me too, it sounds like fun." she said.

Tsuyu smiled, "I think this could work, ribbit." she said. Kyoka nodded, "I'm down with that." she said. They turned to Mika; she looked away, "Well..." she hesitated a bit. Momo placed her hand on Mika's shoulder, making her turn to her, "If you don't want to go, it's fine." she said.

Momo looked down, "To be honest, I threw that suggestion out because it might help us forget the memories in USJ, but I guess what you saw was a lot worse than I thought." she continued.

Mika looked at the ground, "It's true what I saw was terrible..." she said. Mika looked at the others, "But... as long I'm with others who care for me, I don't care about what I saw." she continued.

Mika smiled with tears falling down her face, "I'd like to hang out with my friends..." she said. They were completely shocked; they got out of their seats and comforted Mika. Momo created a handkerchief and held it out to Mika, "Here..." she said.

Mika nodded as she took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Sorry..." she said lowly. Ochaco shook her head, "Don't be Mika." she said, "We may not have seen what you saw, but we'll help you in any way we can. Isn't that what friends do?"

Mika chuckled a bit, "I guess you're right." she said smiling. Momo stood up, "Then it's settled." she said; they nodded as they left the library.

(Time Skip)

The girls entered the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall; they were in awe, "So! Where should we start?" Mina asked. Momo looked around, "There are plenty of shops we can look at." she said, "So, let's try to look at all of them."

They nodded and looked around; one store they looked at was a store with pretty accessories. One accessory that caught Mika's eyes was a pretty bow. It was dark purple with a black cat's head pin at the center.

Mika looked at the price tag; she sighed and looked at the other accessories. Mina looked at the bow Mika looked at. Mina smiled and turned to Mika, "That bow would be so cute on you." she said. Mika turned to Mina and nodded, "It looks cute, but it's out of my price range." she said.

Mina looked at the price tag and saw that it was worth 3400 yen, "Oh... that's a shame." she said. Mika shook her head, "It's fine Mina, I'm not buying anything, anyway." she said. Mina looked at Mika shocked, "What!" she said, "You're not buying anything; why not?"

Mika shrugged her shoulders, "I like to shop, but I don't care for it." she said. Mika rubbed the back of her neck, "To be honest... I'm fine with hanging out with you guys even if wasn't for shopping." she continued.

Mina got teary-eyed and hugged Mika, "You're such a cinnamon roll, Mika!" she shouted. Mika was confused, "I'm a what?" she asked. Momo and the others walked towards them, "How about we get something to eat." she said; they nodded as they left the store.

(Time Skip)

They placed their food trays at a table and sat at it. They were talking about what things they like and dislike and learned more about each other. They gossiped about things in class and laughed at some funny jokes; Mika smiled, seeing the others happy.

Mina clapped her hands, "So! What do you guys think about the boys in class?" she asked. They looked at each other, "Well... I think Deku is a cool guy." Ochaco said.

Mika nodded, "Some of them are nice and others are rude." she said. Mika sighed, "And then there's Mineta." she said with disgust. They nodded in agreement, "Do you think they're any couples in class?" Mina asked.

Some of them thought about it, "I don't think so." Kyoka said. Mina had a big grin, "You sure? Because I think there is!" she said as she turned to Mika, making her jump a bit.

Mika looked around and noticed the other girls staring at her, making her a little nervous. Mika turned to Mina, "W-What do you mean?" she asked.

Mina smiled, "Is there something going on between you and Koda?" she asked. Mika's eyes widened, "Now that you mention it, they seem very close... almost like they're a couple." Tsuyu said.

Mika panicked and waved her hands, "N-No!" she shouted, "Th-There is nothing going on between me and him!" Kyoka looked at Mika, "Mina kind of has a point." she said, "You two are close in hero training and other stuff."

Ochaco nodded, "I also heard that he talks to you instead of using sign language." she said. Mika blushed a bit and nodded, "I-It's true that he talks to me with his voice sometimes." she said.

Mika jumped a bit and waved her hands, "B-But I think he just trusts me because I'm one of his friends." she continued.

Mina smiled, "Do you have any other feelings for him?" she asked. Mika's face got redder, and she covered it with her hands. Momo looked at Mina, "You're making Mika uncomfortable, Mina." she said, "We shouldn't force her to tell us. If she wants to tell us, she'll tell us."

Mina frowned a bit, "Aw, come on! I want to know!" she shouted. Ochaco nodded, "Momo's right, we shouldn't force her." she said. Ochaco turned to Mika and smiled, "But, if there's something going on between you two, we got your back." she continued.

Mika uncovered her face and turned to Ochaco, "T-Thanks Ochaco." she said with a wry smile. They finished eating their lunch and left the mall, "That was fun!" Mina shouted; the others nodded in agreement. Momo smiled, "I'm glad that everyone had fun." she said.

Kyoka twirled one of her earphone jacks, "Well... I better get going." she said, "I need to bring the stuff I bought back home." Tsuyu nodded, "I need to get back home too, ribbit." she said; they nodded and went their separate ways.
