Tsuyu Asui was both extremely excited and nervous for the upcoming game against the Florida Gators. She came very close to beating them last year and was determined not to make the mistakes that doomed them in that game including an interception with 1 minute left. The worst part of that was that she was open on that play so that made her very miffed.
"Hey Adam" she said to the quarterback Adam James "this time if you see me wide open like that again pass it too me I mean it would've been an easy touchdown and-"
"Froppy I get it but I didn't have time to see you with a linebacker in my face!" Adam yelled back "pressure was coming from all sides!"
"I swear they went offsides!" An offensive lineman insisted "stupid refs didn't call it!"
"Can you all calm down!" Head coach Mark Stoops yelled "last game doesn't matter! We are here now and that's in the past. We can redeem ourselves." Tsuyu nodded and sighed to herself as they reach the hotel they were staying at. "Now you guys can try to relax and rest your bodies for tomorrow."
"I'm going to the zoo." Tsuyu said suddenly
"Wait why?" Mark asked, surprised "And do you have the money? You know I can't pay for you to go"
"Yeah my folks gave me some money before we left." She smiles "I have to see the gators. Like the actual alligators. I'll try to remain inconspicuous." She put on a hoodie and jeans and headed to the local zoo with Adam who decided to tag along. First thing they did however was check out the monkeys and gorillas. Two of the gorillas got real close to them so they put thier hands on the glass to compare sizes and the gorillas did the same. Froppys hands were longer then Adam's due to her frog like nature but the gorillas hands were thicker.
"I like monkeys" Tsuyu said after they took a picture near the gorillas "I would have a pet one if you didn't need an expensive license for that"
"Why would you need a license?" Adam asked curiously
"Because an angry monkey is a very scary monkey" Tsuyu explained "even the small ones are strong and they won't hold back if they want to completely mess you up. Like you'd think it would just be the gorillas that you should worry about but every monkey is potentially dangerous"
"I-I see..." Adam said a scared before clearing his throat and changing the subject "hey the gator exhibit is nearby I think it is coming up" sure enough they have reached the gators and just watch them mostly stand still and stare. At one point they did get to see them be fed some meat which was cool to see "so what is the point of this anyways?"
"...I need to stop being afraid of alligators..." Tsuyu finally admits "I have what's known as Herpetophobia, or the fear of reptiles, but just for gators or crocodiles..." Adam looks surprised but then studies her body language. She was shaking and did looked extremely scared.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Adam asked
"Because it didn't make sense to me. A frog girl scared of a fellow reptile? Ridiculous. But it's true and I think it affected the game last year-" suddenly they heard a scream and saw a little boy fall into the gator pit. Without hesitation she immediately went into hero mode and jumped in as well, managing to just barely get the boy out by grabbing him with her tongue before the gators attacked. She delivered the boy to his parents who were understandably shook.
"What the hell were you thinking?!" She yelled at the boy "were you leaning on the rail?"
"I-I just wanted a closer look..." the boy stammered
"Wellv you're lucky you're alive. The rules clearly state not to lean on the railing like that but you didn't listen. Have you learned your lesson?"
"Y-yes..." the boy says, looking scared to death
"If he hasn't I'll make sure he has" his father says "thank you so much for saving him Froppy. Before you ask everyone knows about the frog girl hero" they leave as Froppy catches her breath and Adam comes up to her
"That was awesome!" Adam says "I've never seen you go full hero but you went in there with no hesitation or second thoughts!"
"Y-yeah I did..." she smiled as she looked at the gators and smiled "you know what I am no longer afraid of them. I am ready to beat them at the Swamp. I am more hyped then ever!"
"Hell yeah let's go!"
"Wait!" A zoo official says as he runs up to them "I have to thank you somehow. Here, these tickets mean you get in free at associated zoos for life" Tsuyu took it even though she didn't usually take prizes for hero work
"Huh I think there is a associated zoo back home" she smiles "Let's get something to eat though I am very tired and hungry" The next day the game at the swamp was very competitive, with Tsuyu catching 3 touchdowns and 137 yards receiving. The Wildcats won 33-30 after a game winning field goal and there was a massive party in the locker room.
"Alright guys listen up!" Mark Stoops says as he quiets them down. "This game ball goes to the best player today an an absolute hero on and off the field, Tsuyu" he gives the ball to her as she blushed and smiled
"Thank you all" she smiles "but my hero work is the least I can do with my Quirk" the party didn’t stop at the hotel and this win helped Tsuyu's confidence making her ready for any challenge that will come up next.
