Why do girls always wear skirts??

Hinata stood at the bottom of the staircase, contemplating turn back. The shrieks and yelling could be heard from where she stood, and if you were going to ask her, she'd really rather not put up with his classmates hysteria today.

Deciding she'd have to do it eventually, she slowly walked up the staircase.

As soon as her feet hit the floor of the restaurant, she heard different voices all rising above one another.

"Is this the work of a Japanese spirt?"

"I'd like to see the Trashy Skank pull off fanservice now..."

"Woohoo! Ibuki can sing metal songs now!"

'Already a great start...' Hinata thought as she joined the group.

"Ah, Hinata! So everyone has become the opposing gender!" Sonia said gleefully.

"It would seem like it..." Hinata muttered, glancing at all the newly male classmates of hers. 'I feel like we're in some crappy fanfiction...'

People continued to talk, and Hinata just tuned them out. As she tried to wrap her head around what was happening, she found herself muttering, "What are we supposed to do now...?"

Monokuma popped up from wherever he was hiding and stood next to Hinata. "Well, you start killing eachother! What else?" He said.

At this, Hinata screamed and covered her torso with her arms. All eyes turned to her and she flushed of embarrassment.

"Woooow Hinata! Quite a girly scream you have there!" Monokuma teased.

Hinata inhaled and let her body relax. "So this is your doing."

"Whaaaaat!? Me? I didn't do anything!"

The room was silent for a few moments.

"Okay, I might have done something. I'd like to formally introduce your newest motive!"

Hinata glanced at her classmates. Some had worried facial expressions while others rolled their eyes.

"As you can tell, you all have become the opposite gender! Now, on it's own, it may not seem like much of a motive, but I promise, what I have in store will definitely make one of you snap! Upupupupu!" With that, Monokuma left. The room stayed silent.

Hinata had more questions than answers. 'What he has in store...?' Everyone shot worried glances around the room.

Well, almost everyone.

"I'm sure you all will overcome this silly motive! A little change like this is nothing the Symbols of Hope!" Komaeda said to break the silence.

"Ugh, will he ever shut up...?" Saionji said under his breath.

The next to speak was Sonia. "I propose we attempt to adapt to this change! We can't let whatever Monokuma has planned for us make us kill eachother! So, let us help eachother adjust! I volunteer to help anyone if they need it!"

A few murmurs filled the room. The group then decided to seek others help if needed, but if not, adjust as much as possible.

After everyone had left, Hinata went to Sonia's cottage.

She already knew she needed to ask Sonia for help. Her new hair was getting really annoying and she wanted to know how to tie it back.

After Sonia answered, Hinata explained what he needed help with.

"I believe it is called a 'Ponytail!' I can certainly help you with that. I'll teach you, and then you can practice!" Hinata agreed, just excited to get the hair off her neck.

Sonia didn't have any hairbands on hand, so Hinata offered to run to the Rocket Punch Market to grab some. As she walked, she had one thought on her mind.

"Why do girls always wear skirts? It's really... Drafty." She shuttered as she entered the market.

The market was completely empty, so Hinata could grab the hair ties and get out of there quickly. She did just that and sprinted back to Sonia's cottage.

He invited Hinata into his cottage and began to teach her how to tie her hair. It was a lot simpler than what she was expecting, and after a few tries, she got it down.

"It's perfect! Good job!" Sonia congratulated.

Hinata smiled at the praise. She slightly adjusted the ponytail and thanked Sonia before leaving, taking the hair ties with her.

She went back to her cottage and layed on her bed. She decided to take a nap, because there wasn't much else to do. She didn't want to interrupt the others, because if they were scary before they're terrifying now, she didn't want to attempt to bathe or change, even if she knew she was in a female body didn't mean she wanted to look at it, and she really had nothing else to do.

So, nap it is, right?

No. Not on this island.

Just as she layed down, she heard a knock on her door. Deciding to ignore it, she closed her eyes. The knocking continued.

She covered one ear with her hand and buried the other ear into her pillow, but that didn't drown out the sound.

Choosing to just answer it before she punched whoever was at the door in the face, she quickly got up and opened the door.

Funny for Hinata, she was the one who got punched in the face.

"Gah--! What the hell!?" She shouted while holding her nose in her hands and looking down. She hadn't seen who was standing at the door, but after looking at the damn double zipper shoes, she didn't have to.

"Hinata! I'm so sorry! Are you okay!? I should have known trash like me would end up hurting you..." Komaeda said.

"I-I'm fine... It just hurts a little, that's all. What are you doing here?" Hinata replied, removing her hands from her face and looking at the pale woman infront of her.

"Well... I saw you have your hair up and I was wondering if you could show me how to do that...?" Komaeda asked slowly.

Hinata thought for a moment. The person who just punched her and attempted murder was asking for help to tie her hair?

"Yeah, sure, whatever. Come in."

Komaeda's eyes lit up as she practically skipped into Hinata's cottage.

"Sit at the edge of the bed. If you try anything, I won't hesitate to scream." Hinata said while grabbing the hair ties.

"Ah, even if I were to attempt anything, that new scream of yours will definitely alert someone!" Komaeda giggled.

Hinata flushed at the comment. "S-Shut up!" She quickly sat behind Komaeda and started going through what Sonia had taught her. There was a problem though.

"Komaeda, did you roll around on a carpet or something!? Your hair is a mess, and I can't get it in a ponytail!"

"Ah, I was hoping is wasn't bad. I accidently tripped walking over here and fell into the water. I went back to my cottage and attempted to blow dry my hair after changing into dry clothing, but I guess it just tangled it even more!"

Hinata sighed. "I don't suppose you have a hairbrush on you or anything, do you?"

"I do, actually! I brought it just in case!" With that, Komaeda pulled out a black hairbrush out and handed it to Hinata.

As Hinata brushed Komaeda's hair, they made innocent small talk. It reminded Hinata of how Komaeda acted before the class trial.

"It must suck having such long hair, huh?" Hinata asked.

"To be honest, it does. I know my normal hairstyle is longer than normal, but it's nothing compared to this."

"Well, your gonna give Sonia a run for her- erm, his, money at this point, Princess Rapunzel. Your hair is even longer than Souda's!"

"At least I don't still have an ahoge."

Hinata whacked Komaeda with the hairbrush.

"Shut it!" They both stayed silent for a moment before laughing.

Soon, after Komaeda's monstrous hair was brushed down, Hinata started to teach Komaeda how to properly tie it.

Komaeda took more tries than Hinata to get it right, but she finally got it.

"Thank you Hinata, scum like me doesn't deserve the help from an Ultimate like you!"

"Don't mention it Komaeda. Now, if you'd excuse me, I want to take a nap."

"Ah! Of course!" With that, Komaeda left her cottage with a smile.

As Hinata layed down to finally take her name, she couldn't help but think of Komaeda as she left.

Was it just her, or did Komaeda have a light blush?
