The city of Musutafu.

The home to the prestigious hero school known as UA.

It is perhaps the safest city in all of Japan, given the number of rank heros that live within her. The only place safer was Tokyo, and only just. To live in Musutafu was a guarantee easy living, safe from villains and crime. The only blemish that could be seen is the Dagobah Municipal Beach Park, which has began to look more like a dump rather than a beach.

All of these sites and sounds were all lost on one little 3- year old girl as she rode in her family car, she snoozed away in her child seat, safely tucked in as the car travel down the quiet neighborhood.

"I can't believe I got it." the girl's father quietly said, still a bit stunned as he guided the car down the road, following the directions given to him via his wife.

"I know. You said it several times already." the woman sighed as she rubbed her head. "Seriously though. Why are you so shocked? You are a chemical engineer, they pay you pretty well too."

"I outbid a model that was on the cover of ViVi a few times and her husband is the designer that has multiple dresses on the several magazine covers" he explained, eyes quickly looking up at the street names as he came across them. "I'm more than ready to believe they had money on hand to outbid me."

"Okay, first I have questions on how you exactly know about that." she said with an incredulous look. The man stiffen a little before looking away with some embarrassment and mumble something under his breath. She frown as she gave him a hard stare. "What was that?"

"I wanted to treat you right. I checked the magazines and stuff for our anniversary. Gift ideas, you know… Treat you like a princess." The man mumble, his cheeks red as he kept his eyes on the road. The woman was clearly touched, but she gave a small giggle as she leaned over and gave him a small peck on the check.

"I'm touched, really. But you don't have to keep that up. Besides, we have our own princess now." She jerked her head back to the sleeping child, which caused the man to smile. "Anyways, maybe they found something better somewhere else?"

"Doubt it." he frown at the answer, but he forged ahead. "Still, it's much closer to work than the other location in Chiba Prefecture."

"I suppose that is true." his wife lean back, only to look in the backseat as she heard a yawn from her daughter. "Hey! Good morning! Did you sleep well?"

"Mmm!" Mina tiredly nodded her head, rubbing her face with her hands before stretching her arms and legs out. She gave another yawn as she open her eyes, staring at the new scene before her. She looked to her mother, who only smiled.

"We are almost to our new house. Aren't you excited?" Mina's father asked, only to get a blank stare in return followed by another yawn. "She's inherited your slow start up, Kokoro."

"Gee, thanks Tamoyo." Kokoro said with a chuckle, looking at the apartment complex nearby.

"I wonder if there is any kids close to Mina's age here." Tamoyo asked as he glance in the rear view mirror to see Mina watching the passing neighborhood intently. Mo

"A good chance, look." Kokoro pointed to a small park, where a mother was sitting with her son who looked about Mina's age, playing in the sandbox with some toys.

"That's good. Great even. Mina can make many friends here. She is a chatterbox like you are, Kokoro-Hey!" He gave a mock cry of pain as she hit him on the shoulder, causing Mina to giggle a little at the act. He smiled at his daughter in the mirror before checking the address numbers again. His smile widen as he pulled the car into a driveway of a large 3-story house. "We're here! Look Mina, our new house!"

Mina watched turn her head to the window, looking out to said building. "House?"

"Yes, house. Home. We live here now." Tamoyo gently explained, watching Mina closely with concern. It was a worry for both parents in moving to a new location. Mina was their first child, and their worry in upending their daughter to move was on the forefront of their mind. They were not sure how Mina would take, but it appears their worry was for naught as she began to fiddle with her straps, trying to take them off, but failing to do so.

"Hold on, Princess." Tamoyo said as he place the car in park and got out of the driver seat to get his daughter free. "Let Daddy get you free from the seat monster."

"Daddy, help!" Mina giggled out as her father unbuckled the restraints and picked up his daughter. "Yay!"

"There we go. Come on, let's go see the new house." he said as he carried Mina down the path. Mina looked around in wonder, staring up at the brick home with large glass windows.

"Biiiiiig!" Mina exclaimed, leaning back to stare up as she got close.

"Yes. Big." Tamoyo smiled at Mina's antics, walking up to the door, before giving his wife a pleading look.

"Fine fine, I'll get the door. It's not like our daughter is heavy."

"Says you. She eats Natto and Okra like nobody's business." Tamoyo grunted as he shifted his hold as Mina squirmed in his arms. "I blame you for that, by the way."

"Yes yes. Blame me for our daughter's taste of food, you bland man you." Kokoro giggled as she danced away from his kick, sticking her tongue out at his miss. She walked into the foyer, looking up with some awe. "Still, do we need a three story house?"

"Hey, we got it cheap. It's close to work. The area it is in is patrolled by heroes daily." he set Mina down, watching as she looked up, slowly spinning place as she stared at the ceiling.

"Woooooooooaaaaa-ah!" Mina yelped as she got dizzy and feel on her rump, giggling as she got up and raced further into the house. He smiled as he walked up to his wife, embracing her and giving her a light kiss on the lips, which she eagerly return. "I think it's a great new start for us. We don't have to worry about space for… future endeavors."

Kokoro blush lightly as he rubbed her belly, giggling as she lightly slap his hand away. "Not in front of Mina, pervert."

He watched as she stepped away, hearing his daughter running around the new home. His wife was a beauty, lightly tan skin to indicate she was more of an outdoor type of woman. He consider himself the luckiest man alive to get together with his oldest friend. He watched as Mina raced into her mother's arms, more than a little excited at exploring something new.

"Come on you two, let's go see the rest of the house. The movers will be here soon and we will be covered to our heads in boxes."

"Yay boxes!"

=Several days later=

Mina raced around in the yard laughing as she played with her toys, it was far too apparent that she inherited her mother's tomboyish traits as there wasn't a single 'girly' item in the large amount of toys that were in the pile.

"Woosh! Villain beware!" Mina exclaimed as the rising star of All Might action figure landed before the villain toy…

Which happen to be a plastic dress up doll with 'villain' costume on it. It still made Kokoro laugh hysterically whenever she thought about it, as she seen Tamoyo work so hard to make it into a toy that his daughter would play with when she refused to use it.

Barbie became 'the villain' and thus her evil villainous crime spree grew, with various action figures rising up to stop her. If Kokoro was honest with herself, it was rather gaudy looking and beat up, but Mina still used it in all of her play sessions.

Mina raced around the yard, running by her mother as she worked on her new garden, looking extremely happy with the new set up. Mina continue to have both toys duke it out, with kicks and punches as she made the figures bounce from bushes to the brick wall.

"Hiya! Take that!"

"Oh my!" Mina blinked as she looked up to see a woman with green hair at the front gate, carrying several plastic containers in her arms. "Did the hero win?"

"Yes!" Mina answered with gusto, turning to her mother. "Mama! Look!"

"Hm?" Kokoro looked up in surprise, quickly taking off her gloves to greet the green hair woman. "Hello! Welcome, welcome! Just working on the garden."

"Looks like you are trying to start a vegetable garden." the woman noted as Kotoro came by to open the gate. "I hope they turn out well."

"I do to. Trying to get the little one to eat her vegetables, but…" Kokoro sighed as she turn to see Mina blanched at the word and stuck her tongue out.

"Ew! Green stuff taste nasty."

"Mama… keep the Okra?" Kokoro looked down and smiled at the small child at his mother's side. His green hair and green eyes clearly indicated he was the mother's son, and looked adorable in his hero t-shirt. Holding in his arms was a plastic bowl filled with the said item, holding on to it tightly to not drop it.

"Okra?" Mina eyes zeroed in on the boy and what he was holding, quickly making her way before him. Rather startled at how close she was the boy took a step back, looking at Mina with some worry.

"I'm sorry… but Mama made Okra… and you said you didn't like vege...vega… veggies." He managed out, causing both mothers to sigh at how cute the boy was.

"Okra isn't veggies! It tastes really good so it's not!"

"Mina, Okra is a vegetable." Kokoro gently corrected. She couldn't help but give a small giggle as it appeared this information blew Mina's young mind away. Mina stood for a long moment before her cheeks puffed up as she pouted, making a small noise in annoyance.

"Daddy lied to me!" Mina kicked at the ground childishly, crossing her arms as she mumbled under her breath. The boy frown and quickly place the bowl on the ground before quickly embracing Mina in a hug.

"Its okay. There there." the boy gently pat her back as Mina, who continue to pout but it lost some of the anger and quickly return the hug.

Both mothers couldn't help put pull out their phones and take pictures. The boy smiled as he pulled away, straightened up and bowed to Mina in a proper greeting.

"My name is Izuku, be my friend?"

Mina gave a beaming smile and nod her head. "Yes! My first friend here! Oh! My name is Mina! You can call me Mina! Want to play hero?"

"Yes." Izuku said excitedly, quickly racing after Mina as she took off to her pile of toys. Both parents couldn't be more proud at their children.

"Inko Midoriya." The greenette bowed, with Kokoro quickly returning.

"Kokoro Ashido. Do you want some tea? You can tell me about the neighborhood and surrounding area." she couldn't help but rub her arms embarrassingly, quickly reaching down to pick up the forgotten bowl of Okra. "I sort of got lost going to the grocery store."

Inko couldn't help but laugh and gently pat Kokoro's arm reassuringly. "Its no problem. I got lost when I first moved here too. I will show you all the little secrets the area has! Oh! You must try the katsudon, my little Izuku loves it."

"That would sound wonderful."

=Several months later=

Izuku quietly colored in his coloring book, sitting down at the couch while the tv ran its cartoon marathon that morning. Sitting between his legs on the floor, was his bestest friend Mina, as she seem glued to the tv that morning. Then again, Mina barely could get herself going until she got a lot of sugar in her, being very slow whenever she wakes up. Waking her up was far more fun than Izuku thought was possible. Especially pranking her with handing her a toothbrush to comb her wild hair. Izuku wish he took a video, if only to share with the rest of their family.

The 4 year old could smell his mother's cooking as she busied herself within the kitchen, making breakfast for the children. Mina had stay over last night, and both children exhausted themselves that day in excitement on the sleepover.

"Mmm!" Izuku pulled the coloring book back, looking down to see Mina's pouting face looking back up at him. "Izu! Scatches!"

He couldn't help but giggle a little as he placed his crayons by his side and raise his hands up, wiggling his fingers as he did so. "Are you sure?"

Mina paused for a moment, clearly thinking it over before giving him a big smile. "Scratches!"

Izuku plunged his hands into Mina's hair and immediately began to scratch wildly, Mina giving a small laugh before giving a small hum and began to relax. Lately Mina been scratching her head more often than not, and she managed to drag Izuku into giving her 'scratches'. If anything, Izuku found a new way to calm the girl down, as she seem to relax whenever he did it. Izuku smile as he did his duty as close friend and scratch her head, but began to frown as his felt something was off.

"Oh! Right there, Izu!" Mina tilted her head to give Izuku better access, as Izuku began to scratch the spot again. He frown as he slowly made his way around her skull, paying close attention to what he was doing. This time though, he felt something was off, and that made him worried.

"Mina?"

"Hm?"

"Did you bump your head?" Izuku asked as he rubbed a spot on her head. Mina thought for a moment then shook her head.

"No. Why?"

"You have a couple of bumps, like they feel really weird." Izuku answered, causing Mina to look up at him with a scared look. Before either of them could discuss it further, a voice called out from the kitchen.

"Kids! Breakfast!" Inko called to the two, both of them giving each other a look before racing towards the greenette.

"Mama Inko/Mommy!" Inko let out a gasp as both children ran into her legs and clung onto her.

"Kids, kids! What's wrong?!" Immediately set down their plates and held them in a tight hug.

"Izu said he found some bumps on my head!" Mina cried, rubbing her head with worry, Izuku nodding his head rapidly in agreement. "They itch really badly sometimes! I think i might be dying!"

"No! Mina you can't die! We have to be heroes first!" Izuku cried, with Inko giving a patient smile as she hugged the two tightly as the they both cried.

"Now now. Mina, can I check?" Mina nodded her head, her eyes brimming with tears, with Izuku right along with her as he held her in a tight hug. "Now, lets see these itchy bumps."

Inko examined Mina's head, finding the small bumps Izuku had found. She frown a bit as she pulled her phone towards her as she got up to look for some cream for the itching. Mina hiccuped as Izuku held onto her. Inko gave them a small smile before she pushed the contact number she wanted.

"Inko? Ugh… what time is it? Is something wrong?" She heard Tamoyo answered in a groggy tone. No doubt having a late night at his job. Inko briefly wondered if he was going to change colors again, she hoped it was hot pink.

"Maybe. Is Kokoro awake?"

"Hun. Wake up. Its Inko."

"Mmmm…. Go away." Inko couldn't help but giggle as she heard the phone being jostled around before a sleepy voice came on. "Hullo?"

"Ah, I see where Mina gets it." Inko said as she found the cream she was looking for and head back to said girl. "I have a question."

"Inko…" Kokoro whined, causing the woman to roll her eyes. "It's too early."

"Its 8 in the morning. Hardly early." Inko pulled the top off the cream and began to squeeze a bit onto her finger. "I have a serious question Kokoro. It may shed some light for Mina."

"Mina?"

"Yes." Inko held the phone to her shoulder, running her hand through the messy hair to find the bumps. Inko couldn't help but notice that Mina's dark brown hair seem slightly off color. Was it getting lighter? "I was wondering when you were getting your horns, did your head itch?"

"Well sure, I mean I was growing a pair of...Mina is growing horns?!" Kokoro seem far more awake now.

"Maybe. Ah, there they are. Hold still Mina dear." Inko began to rub the ointment, MIna giving a small sigh.

"Ah… cold." Izuku only smiled and hugged Mina tighter, causing her to giggle and smile brightly.

"Oh! We will be there right away! Tamoyo get up! Mina is growing horns! Her quirk is coming in!" Inko only chuckled as the phone hung up, and she began to give Mina a small look.

"Looks like you are growing your horns, if your mother is anything to go by." Mina seem to beam at this news, quickly turning to Izuku with excitement.

"You hear Izu! They might be horns! I might get Mama's quirk!" Mina exclaimed, with Izuku look just as happy as her.

"SO COOL!" Both children began to run around the room at the news, with Inko only crossing her arms as she watch the duo race around. It was hard to imagine the two being as close friends given how different they were.

Mina was an excitable child, she loved to talk about anything and was highly energetic once she got going in the morning. There were times where it seems she will never slow down even if she was playing all day. Thankfully she seem to understand that she couldn't be running around at all times, though she began to pick up the habit of watching tv or movies late into the night. She also seem partial to older movies, thanks to her father's collection and recently found a new love in video games.

Izuku was far more subdue than her, quiet most of the times and tended to keep to himself. He preferred books and comics than movies and televisions. He was such a smart boy that sometimes Mina would go to him with a question and Izuku would do his best to find the answer. Izuku would be more than happy to cheer Mina on in his own way whenever she was playing games, or happily sit by her side during whatever movie she found.

There were a couple of things the duo shared whole heartedly, something they both wanted ever since they could understand, it was something they believed was the right thing to do and could be shared no matter what.

Heroes and music.

Heroes was something both children loved. They inspired to be heroes for the simple fact they love to help people. Both children had gone out of their way to help people, perfect strangers sometimes, in any way they can. It touched their parents hearts to see how pure their children were, that fame and fortune was the last thing they thought when it came to heroes. They promised they would help their children in any way they can to make that dream a reality.

Music was the second biggest love of the duo. Music seem to make both children even more energetic, and Mina had gone out of her way to drag Izuku into small silly dance moments whenever a song she liked came on. Both of them seem interested in learning, and both mothers were waiting until next year to sign them for classes.

Inko hoped beyond hope that the two stay close for the rest of their lives. Maybe even date and marry. It would make Inko so happy that Izuku and Mina got together, and from the way the two interacted, that might be expected. She couldn't help but sigh a bit at this thought. Her own love life was floundering, her husband was away, and was never around long enough in her opinion. In fact, Izuku barely mentions the man nowadays, and Inko was getting worried about how distant her husband was getting. Izuku needed a father figure in his life, and Tamoyo was a good stand in for now. But she worried that Izuku would not get the proper life lessons, and she didn't want Tamoyo to take up the slack, though the man would have no problem in filling that spot if Inko was honest with herself. Tamoyo love Izuku like his own son, that much she knew, and it filled her with joy that Izuke had a figure like him in his life.

Unlike Hisashi, who was never around.

She looked to Izuku as he began to rapidly explain away what Mina could do with her horns, if she inherited her mother's quirk, and MIna seem to listen quite intently from how serious her gaze was. Maybe she should set up an appointment for Izuku to check up on his quirk?

"It can wait till later." Inko said to herself as she gently knocked on the table. "Hey. You're food is getting cold."

The children gasped and quickly made their way towards the table to eat. Life was good, they had their dreams, they had each other, nothing could take this away from them…

Little did they know that the following year would be the test both of the families…

Especially for Izuku Midoriya and Mina Ashido.
