While Izuku and Bakugou were outside talking to one another everyone else was inside excitedly chatting with each other. Iida got on top of the stairs and cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"Alright everyone we have exactly 12 hours,36 minutes and 15 seconds to create the most magical, spontaneous, romantic atmosphere known to man or beast! ha, get it?" Iida said trying to make a joke but no one laughed. "*ahem* Alright then half of you go to the west wing, half of you to the east wing, and the rest of you come with me." He said and everyone went their separate ways. Only Kiri, Mina, Momo, and Denki stayed behind. "Iida bro relax and just let nature take its course." Kiri told him. "Yeah, it's obvious that there is a spark between them." Mina said. "I know but there's no harm in fanning the flames after all the rose only has a few more petals left so they must fall in love tonight if we want to be human again." Iida explained to them. "I can't wait to be human again!" Denki yelled excitedly. "Yeah! Now, let's go help the others clean this place so it can actually happen." Momo said and they all ran off to help make the castle look worthy of a king again.

"I saw him admiring the ballroom and said you're making everything look so beautiful. We should have a dance tonight. I didn't fucking think he would actually agree to it! What the hell was I thinking!" I yelled at shitty hair while I was taking a bath. "Nah man tonight is the perfect time to do this!" "I'm not sure I can do this." I mumbled. "Hey, don't say that! Where's that fierce and explosive prince Bakugou we all know?" I merely grumbled in response. "*sigh* Listen that rose only has four petals left so man up and confess to him tonight."

I got up from the tub and shook the water off me. "Be fucking realistic he will never love me." "Come on bro he's the one." shitty hair said while relighting his candles since the water put them out. "Would you stop fucking saying that! There is no one!" I said while taking a seat at my dresser and staring at my horrible reflection in the mirror. 'How could you love someone who looks like a monster.'

"You care about him right?" shitty hair asked me. "*sigh* more than anything." I breathed out. "Well then woo him with beautiful music and romantic candlelight." shitty hair said. "Yes, and when the moments just right..." Pinky giggled out. "How the hell am I supposed to know?" I ask. "You'll feel slightly nauseous." glasses said. "Don't worry bro you'll be fine." shitty hair said. "Yeah, just stop being so nervous and tell Izuku how you feel." Dunce face told me. "And if you don't I promise you'll be drinking cold tea for the rest of your days!" ponytail added. "In the dark." shitty hair continued. "Covered in dust." Pinky said. "Yes, dark and very, very dusty." "I get it!" I grumbled at them.

"Alright fine, let's get you ready now!" shitty hair said and they all started to fix me up which in the end made me look fucking stupid. Thankfully they fixed me before I went out to see Izuku.

I left my room and made my way down the stairs. When I reached the bottom I looked up and felt my face heating up at the sight I was witnessing. Izuku was wearing a beautiful yellow suit that sparkled at the ends with a matching bowtie. His green curls framed his face perfectly and his adorably freckled face was dusted pink. 'He looks fucking breathtaking.'

When Izuku came down the stairs and stood next to me I couldn't stop myself from speaking my mind. "You look fucking amazing."I breathed out which caused him to giggle a bit before smiling back up at me. "Thank you...but I'm honestly really embarrassed I've never worn something this extravagant before, I think it's just making me look better than normal." He mumbled out while staring at the ground with an extremely red face and while brushing a piece of hair behind his ear. I reached out and grabbed his hands making him look up at me with his beautiful big emerald green eyes. "Trust me Izuku you're gorgeous even when you're not wearing this outfit." he started blushing harder.

I chuckled a bit at him and took his hand and lead him to the center of the ballroom. He bowed first and I followed suit. 'I haven't actually danced in ages, what if I mess up or something would he still be with me?!' "*sigh* I-I haven't really danced in a while I might be rusty."I admitted to him but that only made him smile more. "Haha that's okay I never really danced before." he told me. "Ha, I guess we are a bunch of Deku's when it comes to dancing then." "Haha yeah we are pretty useless but uh, c-can we still try?" I smiled at him and grab hold of one of his hands then put my other hand around his waist. He then took his free hand and placed it on my shoulder.

We started dancing together around the room slowly trying to get a custom with the movements. We grasped the movements quickly and danced around the room a bit faster with me twirling him every now and then. Towards the end of the song, Izuku brought both of his arms around my neck so I placed mine around his waist. He rested his head on my chest we just slowly rocked back and forth.

"Didn't I tell you they are destined for one another."Kiri whispered to Iida while watching as Bakugou and Izuku danced around the room. "I must admit they do look good together." "Yeah, keep up the good music Sero." Kiri told the piano who they are all currently standing on. "Of course." He whispered. "Oh and nice singing Momo." Mina told the teapot. "Awe thank you but I wasn't that good." "Stop being so modest your singing was lovely." Iida told her. "Awe thank y-" "IT'S LOVE!" everyone shushed Denki for his outburst but luckily the two dancing didn't hear him. "Sorry, but I figured it out!" He whispered yelled. "Figured what out?" Momo asked. "something there that wasn't there before the something is love right?" "Bro it really took you that long to figure it out?" Kiri asked him in disbelief. " It's not my fault you guys were speaking in riddles you literally could have just said love." everyone either rolled their eyes or laughed at the teacup but in the end, they all just watched Bakugou and Izuku dance.

Once the two had finished dancing they linked arms and together they walked out onto the balcony.

"That was fun." Bakugou said in order to break the silence between him and Izuku. "Yeah, it was...uh s-sorry for stepping on your feet most of the time." Izuku mumbled while looking at the ground. "Ha don't worry about it I thought you did great."Bakugou said while grabbing hold of Izuku's hands. Izuku smiled up at him and giggled a bit. "haha thanks but just call me Deku when it comes to dancing." He laughed out making Bakugou smile at his cute laugh.

'It's now or never.' Bakugou thought and he gathered his courage to ask Izuku. "Well, Deku," Bakugou started and Izuku chuckled a bit at the nickname. "I uh, do you um, a-are you happy here?" This caused Deku's smile to falter a bit. "It is nice here..." Izuku said while looking out to the forest his voice trailing off at the end. "But?" Bakugou said trying to figure out what is on his mind. "I want to be able to see my father again. I miss him very much." he said an idea then crossed Bakugou's mind. "I can help with that."

I brought Izuku up to the west wing and gave him the enchanted mirror that was on the table with the enchanted rose. "The mirror will show you anything you wish to see." I explained to him. He took the mirror and asked it to show him his father. "Papa! Oh, no!" I heard him say. "What is it?" "He's sick and all alone! He may even be dying!" I then glanced over at the rose. 'I'm running out of time but he's right here but his father is in trouble and he means a lot to him...' "*sigh* Then you-you must go to him." I mumbled out. "What did you say?" he looked up at me and asked. "You have to go to him your no longer my prisoner." I told him again while my heart felt heavy. "Thank you." he said and tried to give me back the mirror but I stopped him. "Keep it. That way you will always have a way to look back on me." "Thank you Kacchan." he said while giving me a hug. I hugged back not wanting to let him go but I know that I have to. As soon as he let go of me he ran out of the room leaving me all alone.

"Well your highness I had my doubts but everything seems to be going great. True love really does win the day!" I heard glasses say. I just shook my head and stared at the rose. "I let him go." "You what?!" glasses yelled. "Bro how could you do that!?" shitty hair exclaimed. "I had too." I told them. "But why?" pinky asked. "Because he loves him." Ponytail said. "Then shouldn't we be human?" Dunce face questioned. "No, because Izuku doesn't love him and now it's too late." glasses said. "You don't know that; he might come back!" Pinky argued. "No. I set him free. I'm sorry I couldn't save all of you. *sigh* You should go now our time is almost up." I watched as the all slowly trudged there way out of the room.
