"AND that's why I moved to america!", yuki explained as hoshimi and shigaraki just listened.

"so, what about you, aizawa-san?", yuki asked.

"huh? what about me?", hoshimi asked, confused.

"have you ever been out of japan before?"

"oh, me? no. my dad almost never steps out of the house, much less the country", hoshimi laughed.

"aha...I see...", yuki said as she took a sip of her unsweetened tea.

after another 15 minutes, toga, twice, and dabi showed up.

"hey, y'all ready to go?", dabi asked.

"yeah! just give us a second", hoshimi said, cleaning up her trash.

"I'm so excited for this film!!", twice exclaimed, helping shigaraki clean up.

"what film?", yuki asked.

"oh, it's really nothing. just a project one of my friend's working on", hoshimi explained, silently hoping that she wouldn't ask to come with.

"can I come??", yuki smiled, making toga cringe. her shipping senses were tingling and she knew right away this was the girl that ashido was talking to her about on the phone.

"sure", hoshimi said, gritting her teeth and forcing a smile.

"awesome!! maybe I can even help out a bit", yuki said.

toga just squinted her eyes as the group arrived at the filming studio.

"thank you so much for helping hoshi!!! you're such a life saver", kaminari fake sobbed.

"we're here too, dipshit!", bakugo growled.

"no problem denki. anyways, can I have a copy of the script? we can get started right away", hoshimi requested.

"of course!! look through it and tell me what you think", kaminari said, as he handed hoshimi a copy.

the rest of their friends were changing into their costumes and getting their makeup done. some took a while, like dabi's, as his makeup was intricate.

"wow, you even got my dad and uncles to play in this??"

"yep!! this is gonna be a big hit, I swear!!", kaminari said proudly.

"I'm excited for you", hoshimi said, still flipping through the script.

"wait, so shigaraki's the villain?"

"yep!! I'm thinking of adding another female character so that shigaraki could have a redemption and change his ways. actually your friend over there is—"

"NO!", hoshimi quickly shouted, making a few people look at her.

"why not?", kaminari asked. hoshimi usually never really changed the plot of the story unless it was something she greatly disliked.

"ummm...I...I think that since shigaraki...is playing the villain, he should be very cold-hearted and ruthless right? so I don't think the female character should interfere with his goal...ya feel?", hoshimi said.

she had hoped her bullshit reasoning would convince kaminari that yuki didn't need to be shigaraki's lover, even if it was in the film.

kaminari thought for a moment, looking somewhat skeptical. then, it was as if a lightbulb went off in his head.

"oh! you're so smart hoshi!! god, you're really good at this!! this way, he wouldn't be distracted and would seem more ambitious!!", kaminari exclaimed.

"e-exactly!!", hoshimi awkwardly chuckled. "now let's get it started".

"you're right!! alright, is everyone ready??", kaminari asked their friends.

everyone walked out in their hero and villain costume. shigaraki and dabi's looked pretty normal, except shigaraki's many hands.

"damnn!! y'all look good", hoshimi cheered.

"what do you think of the costume designs? I had aoyama design them", kaminari said, grinning.

"it is I, the great aoyama yuuga. and it is only I, that can design such greatness", aoyama said.

hoshimi chuckled. "indeed. you all look very...magnificent".

hoshimi went over to bakugo, as his was quite flashy. "bro, these look like real grenades!!"

"that's the point!! with such an explosive attitude, I thought bakugo would for perfect for this character", said kaminari.

"a-are you sure I should b-be the main character??", midoriya asked, nervous.

"of course!! you're gonna be great, man!", kaminari said, boosting midoriya's confidence.

"wow!! look at all these hands", yuki said, repositioning them on shigaraki's arms.

hoshimi frowned a little, scowling.

"jealous yet? miss. I'm not salty", ashido teased.

"HOLY HELL MINA!! YOU'RE PINK!!", hoshimi exclaimed, amazed.

"haha yeah okay, but seriously. jealous now?"

hoshimi stopping staring at her best friend's now pink skin and looked over at shigaraki and yuki. she hated admitting that did indeed feel a bit jealous.

like girl, keep your hands to yourself. shigaraki already has enough on him!

"ahem! let's start with midoriya and bakugo's scene", hoshimi announced.

everyone got off the stage, leaving only midoriya and bakugo. the opening was midoriya being shown quirkless and being bullied by bakugo.

bakugo was so in character that hoshimi almost felt the need to stop and step in.

soon, the rest of the class joined in, with yagi and aizawa making a brief appearance.

"awesome!! and cut!! let's have izuku, katsuki, shouto, and the villains up next", hoshimi called out.

shigaraki was the leader of the villains, facing midoriya. dabi was standing in front todoroki while toga was pointing her knife at bakugo.

"and start!"

yuki walked over to hoshimi, smiling.

"don't you think tomura's just great?", yuki asked.

hoshimi was trying to focus on directing while also trying to answer yuki's question, so she didn't seem rude.

"mhm".

"and with such a rich guy, he should be accompanied by a woman of fitting status, don't you think?"

hoshimi looked over at yuki, who was smiling. hoshimi saw the way yuki looked at shigaraki. it made her feel even more salty for some reason.

"are you implying that you're fitting for that position?", hoshimi asked.

"well, my family is famous for their cheese, specialized from america. and as you probably already know, tomura's father, all for one, is the head of a large corporation", yuki said, smirking.

"I see. well perhaps you ought to take your cheese and fly back to america", hoshimi said, still looking at the villains and heroes act.

yuki gasped. "how dare you?!"

hoshimi just smiled.

"well, it doesn't matter anyways. you'll be crying once tomura and I start dating", yuki gloated.

"hm. we'll see", hoshimi replied.

"you're at a disadvantage since tomura's father has already met me", yuki warned.

"meeting and liking are two different things. now if you'll excuse me, I need to concentrate", hoshimi retorted.

"oh just you wait. you'll be begging for forgiveness soon", yuki said as she stomped away.

"andddd cut!!", hoshimi yelled. "wish I could cut her too", she mumbled underneath her breath.
