Momo couldn't understand exactly why she had agreed to participate in Movie Night with her classmates. If she had known that they would be watching a scary movie, she would have thought twice about her decision.

She was sitting on the floor wrapped in a blanket next to Todoroki and Tokoyami. Tokoyami was watching the movie with a look in his eyes that Momo couldn't quite place her finger on. On the other side, Todoroki was fast asleep, leaning against the couch for support.

Momo tried to look away from the movie, but she didn't want to appear frightened in front of her classmates. Midoriya was already getting laughed at by Bakugo and Mineta and Denki were getting teased by Jirou. She didn't want to be the next one teased.

Shivering, she pulled the blanket tighter around her. Glancing back towards the screen, her blood went cold as the woman was torn apart by the murderer. Momo quietly whimpered and shook her head, regretting everything.

Later that night....

Momo couldn't sleep. She couldn't sleep, but she couldn't stay awake either. Rolling over to face her wall, she swore she could hear footsteps coming down the hall. Momo latched on to her pillow and buried her face in the softness.

Suddenly, she heard a knock at the door. Momo's eyes widened and she covered herself with a blanket. Another knock was heard, this time harder and quicker. She closed her eyes tightly and forced herself to think.

Momo thought about all the villains she had faced during the USJ attack, the summer training camp, the provisional license exam. She had faced each situation with fear, but in the end she had managed to get through each one. It was true she had difficulties along the way, but what mattered was that she had tried to do something. Now, it was time to face whatever was at her door.

Gathering up enough courage and grabbing a pillow, Momo got up off her bed and slowly walked towards the door. She gripped the handle as fear overtook her once again. What if it was a psychopath murderer? Momo's life could end as quickly as the lady in the movie. Taking a deep breath, she told herself that it was probably just Mineta. The little pervert.

Opening the door, she swung the pillow as hard as she could at the person in front of her. The figure yelped in surprise and fell backwards. Momo pinned the person's arms and legs down as she bent over them. Opening her eyes, Momo looked down at the person and gasped in surprise.

There was Jirou, laying beneath Momo and fearfully looking up at said person. "Whatever I did, I'm sorry and I'll make it up to you!" Jirou half-whispered, half-yelled. Momo stared in shock, before slowly getting off the floor. Jirou sat up and allowed Momo to pull her onto her feet.

"I'm so sorry Jirou!" Momo apologized, grabbing the girl's hand and looking into her eyes. Jirou blinked before softly chuckling. "No clue why you're worked up Yaomomo, but it's fine!" Jirou's face narrowed in concern when she saw that Momo was trembling. "What's wrong?"

Momo blinked as she was brought out her thoughts, before waving her hands nervously. "I'm fine! I was just worried that Mineta or someone else was trying to enter without my permission!" Momo laughed nervously. Jirou frowned and gently took Momo's hands. "I don't think that would have made you that nervous. Something else is bothering you."

Sighing, Momo looked away from Jirou, ashamed of being caught in this current situation. "I really thought I was getting better." She quietly mumbled. Jirou's eyes softened and she gently rubbed her fingers against Momo's knuckles. "We've face countless villains since coming to UA, and yet I'm getting worked up about one silly movie."

"We're supposed to be brave when we are fighting villains. Being brave lets citizens know everything will be okay and shows villains that we aren't afraid. But I am." Momo gritted her teeth and shut her eyes tightly. "I'm so afraid."

"Afraid that I won't be good enough, afraid that everything will go wrong, afraid of failing and letting people down. During the Kamino Incident, that man.... All For One.... I felt like I was going to die." Momo stopped as she blinked back tears.

Jirou had said nothing during this time, but spoke when Momo finished. "I know how you feel." Momo looked up as Jirou steadily gazed back. "I wasn't at Kamino Ward, but I've been in situations where I feel like I'm not going to make it. During the training camp, when that gas villain attacked, I was scared that I was going to die too."

"In the future, there are going to be plenty of times where we feel as though we are on the brink of death. I can't ask you to try and forget everything, because that won't help. What I can ask you, Momo, is to try and look towards the future. Everything that has happened in the past has helped us grow stronger, Momo. We have to face every situation with hope and determination in us, so that we can save people and move past the fear."

Jirou gave Momo a small smile as she finished. Momo shakily gave her one back, and both girls wrapped their arms each other as they hugged. Jirou rested her head against Momo's shoulder while Momo settled against the side of Jirou's head. "Feeling better?" Jirou asked. Momo hummed and nodded as she continued to hug her best friend.

Suddenly, Momo could feel Jirou's arms loosen around her. Lifting her head up in confusion, she watched as Jirou quickly grabbed the pillow and slammed it into the person watching silently near them. Momo blinked as she tried to comprehend what she had just witnessed. Jirou stepped backwards and Momo looked over her to see who Jirou had just knocked out.

"Oops."

Mineta was the unfortunate victim of Jirou's attack.
