"Step #1 to getting any girl is to make her jealous," Erasa said.

"Jealous? How?"

"We trick her into thinking you have a new, prettier girlfriend," Erasa said.

"...Won't that make her think that I don't want to get back together with her?" Gohan asked.

"Trust me!" Erasa said. "When a girl sees her boyfriend with someone else, she gets crazy mad! There's no way Videl could ignore that!"

"But where can I find a fake girlfriend?" Gohan asked.

"Maybe there's a really cute girl nearby that can help," Erasa said.

"?" Gohan asked.

Erasa fluttered her eyelashes at Gohan.

Gohan scratched his head.

"Me!" Erasa said.

"Oh!" Gohan said. "You can be my fake girlfriend?"

"Sure!"


"Okay, Videl always goes out through this hallway when she's finished with third period," Erasa said.

"Right," Gohan said. "So when class is over, she'll see us together here for sure."

"Right," Erasa said. "And she's going to totally freak when she sees her boyfriend making out with her best friend."

"Making out?" Gohan asked. "What are we going to be making?"

Erasa fell over.

"Never mind, Gohan," she said. "Just follow my lead."

Erasa grinned. She always wondered what kind of a kisser Gohan was.


On her way out of the science classroom, Videl heard a commotion coming from the hallway outside.

"NO! ERASA! STOP THAT!" Gohan was shrieking. "THAT'S NOT RIGHT!"

"Gohan! You have to—!"

Gohan emitted a high-pitched squeal.

Videl rolled her eyes. It sounded like Erasa and Gohan were up to something. Videl wisely decided to take the long route to her locker.


Gohan and Erasa ended up getting detention for causing a disturbance.

"That was the worst idea ever!" Gohan said during lunch, mad at her.

"How was I supposed to know you never kissed a girl before?" Erasa responded, just as mad.

"I've kissed a girl before!"

"She means besides your mom, Gohan," Sharpener said.

"Oh...well...Videl and I might have...once or twice...that's none of your business!" Gohan snapped.

"Don't worry," Sharpener said. "Unlike Erasa, I know the way to win Videl's heart."

"Is that why she always refuses to go out with you?" Erasa asked.

Sharpener ignored her. "Videl likes strong, athletic guys," he said. "You're a bookworm, so you have to show off how strong you are."

"She knows I'm pretty strong," Gohan said. "I was in the World's Martial Arts Tournament, you know."

"Yeah, but you lost in the first round," Sharpener said. "You looked like a total wimp!"

"I was attacked by two guys at one!" Gohan defended himself.

"And they took you down in no time flat," Sharpener said. "You have to make up for that...like this!"

Sharpener picked up a large rock and held it over his head. "Hey! Cindy! Look what I can do!"

"Wow, you're strong, Sharpener!" one of the girls called.

"See, now you try," Sharpener said. "You might want to try something a bit easier, though."

"Something easy..." Gohan said.

He grabbed a nearby tree and pulled it out of the ground.

"Hey, Videl! Look what I can do!" he said.

Sharpener fell down, as did half the people watching.

"I don't care, Gohan!" Videl called from the other side of the schoolyard.

"Son Gohan!" shouted the teacher on yard duty. "What on Earth do you think you're doing?"

"Showing off how strong I am?" Gohan guessed.

"That tree is school property!" the yard duty said. "That's a detention for you!"

"Huh? But I already have detention today..."

"A troublemaker, huh? Fine! Detention for the rest of the week!"

"Oh no!" Gohan said. "My mom is going to kill me!"

"You should have thought about that before you started destroying trees," the yard duty said. "Next time, respect the environment, Mister."


Author's Note: You heard the yard duty, folks! Be more environmentally conscientious!
