A/N: I had this done a few weeks ago but forgot to post it. Oops. Hope you enjoy!
This takes place after Gohan had his talk with Sharpener about how to approach Videl.
Erasa reclined on her bed, eyes skimming over her phone. The only show that she was excited was the tap of her finger against the case. She wished that Videl will respond to her texts, but her best friend had yet to do so. As a romantic, the blonde imagined that Videl at this moment cuddled up with Gohan somewhere. What other better reason to not respond?
However, she knew that was not the case. The two weren't quite there yet. They were close- if her knowledge of romance was anything to go by. Although they denied the scandal that happened over break, the looks they shared the last few days were subtle in saying perhaps they wanted something more. They weren't there yet, and Erasa pitied them. If she thought that she could get her best friend to take that jump then she would do it.
Videl Satan was stubborn though, and Erasa had little faith her friend would pull through. More likely than not, she was practicing in her father's dojo. Placing a hand despairingly on her forehead, she pulled out her to-do list on her phone. Despite her imaginings, setting her two friends up was not on her list.
"I have to go shopping for Mom. Hm…" She wasn't able to do that until she finished her homework; she tended to extend her shopping trips whenever she could. If Videl wasn't grounded, she would have asked her friend to go out with her to find cute outfits.
"That's it! I can't manage this anymore." She threw her hands in the air. Even for her, Erasa was obsessing over her friend getting a date. That wasn't healthy, and on top of that she would start to feel lonely herself. The best way to correct this was indulging the problem. She would have to get her friends together.
She started on her homework, doing it on automatic. Her mind ran through ideas of what she could do. Neither would fall for a blind date, she knew that.
Lost in thought, her phone brought her back to reality with its insistent buzz. She picked it up and propped it up against her shoulder. "Queen Erasa speaking," she grinned into the line, still writing answers out for her homework.
There was a huff of irritation and amusement on the other end identifying the speaker as Sharpener. "Nice to speak to you." He sounded resigned. Erasa puckered her lips.
"What's up?"
Waiting a few seconds for her friend to find his voice, Erasa skimmed over her answere. Finally, Sharpener cleared his throat. "Well, you were right." That was nice. Erasa tapped her pencil over her paper. The work looked right. The other blonde continued. "I think Gohan and Videl will get together."
Her mind screeched to a halt, and she jumped up. "What!?" She couldn't restrain the excitement in her voice. A momentary pause indicated Sharpener reeled away from the phone until his ears stopped ringing.
"Gohan asked me about Videl after school today." He supplied.
"That's great news! What did you guys talk about?" Erasa couldn't believe it. It was Gohan who would make the first move. It was so romantic.
The sound of a door closing came from the other end. "How about no? He just wanted to know the best way to approach her and I gave the 'don't you dare hurt her' speech." Erasa sighed at the answer, but she assumed that was the best she could get.
"I can't wait to get the story from her. I have to act surprised though, even if I expected this for months." Erasa prattled off. She could practically feel Sharpener's disquiet on the other end. Turning sympathetic, she continued. "Don't worry. I'll treat you out for lunch. But you couldn't be surprised by this outcome. I know! I could set you up for another blind date."
"Erasa, no." He sounded exasperated. Erasa grinned.
"I have to run. Thank you so much for the news; I'm so happy for them. And let me know where you want me to pick up your lunch. Talk to you later, Sharpie."
She glanced down at her homework. It was done besides a few questions. The teenager always worked best when her mind was preoccupied. Satisfied, she headed toward the door. The imminent happiness of her friends (well, most of them, she'll make sure to throw dessert in for Sharpener) calmed her soul. Time for the next thing on her list.
A/N: This one went through a couple edits, and in the end I'm happy with this one the most. Thank you everyone for any support and feedback!
