As classes ended, Mika and Koji were walking in the hallways; she stretched her arms, "I'm not looking forward to today's homework, but it has to be done to pass." she said. Koji nodded, "Out of the way; out of the way." they stopped walking and looked forward.

They saw a girl in a U.A. uniform with crazy-colored hair, cat ears, and a cat tail running in the hallways, "Out of the way; out of the way!" she shouted. Before they could move out of the way, the girl bumped into Mika, causing gray smoke to surround them.

Koji coughed a bit and tried to look around, "What just happened?" he asked himself; when the smoke subsided, he saw the girl with cat ears on the ground, "A-Are you okay?" he asked. The girl looked at Koji and quickly stood up, "Yep! I'm totally fine." she said, "Sorry about that."

Koji shook his head, "I-It's okay." he said; the girl nodded, "Listen, I gotta go; I'm running a little late on something." she said, "Why don't you take care of your friend, bye!" Before Koji could say anything, the girl left in a hurry; he noticed Mika was out of sight, "Mika." he said.

Koji looked around, "Where did she go?" he asked; soon after, he heard a noise, "(Cue video up top.)" he looked down and saw a purple sea otter next to him. Koji was shocked, "Mika." he said; he picked her up, "Did you... use your Quirk?" he asked.

Mika glared at Koji, making him a little nervous, "Yeah, stupid question." he said, "It was probably that girl's Quirk." Mika nodded, "Let's see if Aizawa-sensei can do anything about this." Koji said as he placed her on his shoulder; he walked towards the teacher's lounge.

(Time Skip)

Mr. Aizawa sat at his desk, looking at a few papers, "How these two are passing, I don't know." he said. Mr. Aizawa heard a knock on the door, "Come in." he said; as the door opened, he saw Koji enter the room and Mika on his shoulder.

Mr. Aizawa looked at Koji, "What happened to Lyoko?" he asked; he got nervous, "W-Well..." he said lowly. Koji told Mr. Aizawa the story, "Let me get this straight. Another student in this school bumped into Lyoko and used her own Quirk on her without realizing it." he said.

Koji nodded, "Th-That's right." he said; Mr. Aizawa nodded, "Unfortunately, I can't do anything since it isn't Lyoko's Quirk." he said, "The only thing you can do is wait or somehow undo their Quirk."

Koji nodded, "I understand." he said; Mr. Aizawa nodded and looked at the papers, "Head back to the dorms; you still have homework to do." he said. Koji nodded as he left the teacher's lounge; he turned to Mika and noticed she was sad.

Koji petted Mika's head, "It's okay, we'll get you back to normal." he said. Mika turned to Koji, and it looked like she smiled a bit; he smiled a bit as they headed back to the dorms.

(Time Skip)

Back at the dorms, Koji sat at one of the couches on the common floor, looking through his phone; Mika stood up and looked at the phone.

Koji sighed a bit, "What kind of stuff do sea otters eat?" he asked himself; he looked at one part and turned to Mika, "It says that sea otters like cat food." he said. Mika gave Koji a light tap on his cheek, "I'll take that as a no." he said.

Mika nodded, "Let's see... it also says they like certain types of seafood." Koji continued. Mika tilted her head, "I'm guessing your wondering what kind?" Koji asked; she nodded, "The website says they like crabs, mussels, sea urchins, clams, snails, and other invertebrates." he said.

Mika looked at the phone and pointed to one thing, then to another, "So... you're fine with having crab and clams?" Koji asked. Mika nodded, "Alright then." Koji said as he picked her up and placed her on his shoulder, "I'll put you in my room, so no one sees you."

Koji walked towards the elevator and pressed a button; as they reached the third floor, he walked towards his room and opened the door. Koji picked Mika up and placed her on the ground, "I'll be back." he said before he closed the door.

Mika sighed, *Hopefully, he doesn't take too long.* she thought; she looked at the door and noticed the doorknob was moving. Mika panicked, *That's too quick even for him.* she thought as she looked around, *I need to hide.*

Mika quickly ran under the bed; she saw the door open and a few feet in the room, "Is it essential to do this." she heard Momo's voice. "Of course! Don't tell me you don't want to play with Koda's bunny." Mika heard Mina's voice.

"I wouldn't mind playing with Koda's bunny, but we're entering his room. That's not right at all." Mika heard Ochaco's voice. "He'll forgive us." Mina said as she walked towards Yuwai's cage; when she got on her knees and looked under the bed, she noticed Mika.

Mina lit up, "Oh my gosh!" she shouted as she got Mika from under the bed, "So cute!" Ochaco looked at Mika, "Is that a sea otter? It looks different from the ones I saw." she said.

Momo had her finger on her chin, "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen Mika in a while." she said as she looked at Mika, "And the features on this sea otter remind me a lot of her." Ochaco nodded, "It would explain why we haven't seen her." she said.

Mina grinned a bit, "Let's take her to the other girls." she said; Momo looked at her, "Are you sure that's a good idea?" she asked, "There's probably a reason why she's in here." Mina nodded, "Probably, but what other person can say that they've played with a sea otter." she said.

Ochaco looked at Mina, "Few people, but she's our classmate, not Koda's pet." she said. Mina smiled, "Don't worry, we won't do anything crazy with her." she said; Mika got nervous as they left the room.

(Time Skip)

As a few hours fly by, Mika played with a bouncy ball; Kyoka looked at her, "How can she be entertained with a ball?" she asked, "It's kind of weird."

Tsuyu smiled, "I think it's adorable." she said; after Mika finished playing with the bouncy ball, she yawned a bit, "Looks like she's tired." Momo said.

Mina picked Mika up and placed her on a makeshift bed out of a blanket, "There you go; sleep well." she said. Mika curled up and fell asleep; as she made small squeaks in her sleep, they awed, "Cute..." they said.

Unbeknownst to the girls, Koji entered the building with a few bags; after he closed the door, he saw the girls in a group, "Crap..." he quietly said.

After Koji placed the bags on the table, he walked towards the girls; Momo noticed him and turned to him, "Hello Koda, I didn't notice you enter the room." she said, making the other girls turn to him.

Koji nodded as he sat on the floor; he noticed Mika in the makeshift bed and pointed towards her. Momo nodded, "Mina found her under your bed." she said, "I'm guessing she was trying to hide from us."

Koji nodded as he petted Mika; she smiled slightly as she rubbed her head towards the petting. Tsuyu looked at Koji, "How did this even happen?" she asked; he looked at her, "*Someone bumped into her and activated her Quirk on her.*" he signed.

Momo nodded, "That makes sense." she said, "Have you figured out a way to undo this?" Koji looked down and shook his head; Mina grinned a bit, "I have an idea." she said. Koji looked at Mina, "Ever read the story, Princess and the Frog?" she asked.

Koji shook his head, "Well... the story is a prince was cursed by a witch." Mina said, "He couldn't break the spell until he found a princess. The princess bonded with the frog, not knowing that the frog was the prince, and soon after, the princess kissed the frog."

Mika woke up and looked at Mina, "After the kiss, the frog turned back into a prince." Mina continued, "If this person's Quirk is like the Princess and the Frog, then the only way to break it is you have to kiss her."

Koji's face went red while Mika hid in the blanket; Momo turned to Mina, "I don't think that will work." she said, "I bet your reason for that is so you could see them kiss."

Mina turned to Momo, "Yeah, but what if it works." she said, "It's not worth trying." Koji looked down, "How about this? You can do this in your room so you could do that stuff privately." Tsuyu said.

Mina frowned a bit, "Aw... I kinda want to watch." she said; Momo turned to Koji, "And we'll keep Mina on this floor." she said. Koji slowly nodded as he picked the blanket Mika was in and headed towards the elevator.

After Koji left the elevator, he entered his room; he placed the blanket on the bed and sat next to her. Mika popped her head out of the blanket and turned to Koji; he sighed, "I'm not sure what to do." he said, "If what Ashido said was right, you can turn back to normal... but it's also weird."

Mika got out of the blanket and got on Koji's leg; he turned to her as she stood up, "*It'll... be fine.*" she tried to sign, surprising him, "*Do you... trust me?*" Koji nodded, "I trust you." he said; Mika smiled a bit, "*Then lay on your back... and close your eyes.*" she signed.

Koji nodded as he laid on his bed and closed his eyes; Mika crawled towards him until she got to his face. Mika looked away, *He's right about one thing, it'll be awkward.* she thought.

Mika looked at Koji, *But if he trusts me, then it should be fine.* she thought. Mika nodded to herself and got close to Koji's face; she kissed him and closed her eyes. After a few seconds fly by, they separated, and Mika landed on the ground.

As Koji opened his eyes, he saw gray smoke in the room; he sat up and turned to the right. Koji saw Mika with purple sea otter ears and a purple sea otter tail, "It worked." he said, "Kind of."

Mika nodded, "I'm guessing it's from the aftereffects of that girl's Quirk." she said, "They'll probably be gone at some point." Koji nodded, "Are they like your Quirk?" he asked; Mika petted the ears, "They may match the color of my hair, but I don't feel anything when I pet them." she said.

Mika sighed, "I can't believe Mina was right about this." she said, "If I came downstairs, I bet she'll call me the otter princess or something."

Koji smiled a bit, "Well... who says we want to go downstairs." he said, making Mika turn to him, "We could stay in the room until the ears and tail disappear, and we can lie that it didn't work."

Mika smiled a bit, "That can work." she said; Koji smiled and patted on his bed, "I bet sitting on the floor is more uncomfortable than sitting on a bed." he said.

Mika smiled and nodded as she sat up; she sat on the bed and laid her head on Koji's arm. Koji smiled a bit as they stayed like that for a while.
