Erasa, Sharpener, Videl and Gohan were on the roof eating lunch together. They were no longer surprised by the ridiculous amount of food he ate so didn't even acknowledge it anymore unless someone brought it up for some reason.
It was quiet calm and peaceful, they were just chatting, nothing unusual. Erasa was talking about her hair, Sharpener, Gohan and Videl were listening with keen attention to detail, and they always loved to talk about her hair-or so Erasa though.
Gohan had mentally switched to having greater control of the him that was protecting the city, he had to work extra hard to stop all crimes so people would think Videl simply didn't need to go instead of thinking she couldn't go. The clone Gohan left was currently nodding every five to ten seconds as it was instructed.
Videl knew that Gohan had done this, he had explained his ability to do this to her and she now noticed when he was doing this due to the completely neutral look that was usually on their faces. She was frankly feeling quiet jealous, she wished she didn't have to be here listening to Erasa. She'd have to learn the technique herself at some point.
Sharpener of course knew nothing of Gohans powers, so he was completely oblivious as to why Gohan had no emotion on his face and instead just wrote it off as extreme boredom. Since there was nothing else to do he just dreamed about Mr Satan and one day perhaps being as strong as him.
"So Videl, I noticed you're spending a lot of time with Gohan lately. I guess that means your finally going out" Erasa slipped in at the end of her thoughts trying-and failing-to be as subtle as possible.
"We aren't going out" Videl spat annoyed that everyone though that, Gohan nodded.
"You do spend every waking moment together though" Sharpener pointed out leaving his haze to support Erasa on this, watching Videl blush never got old. Gohan still sat silently; his mind was somewhere else entirely, literally, he nodded.
"No we don't" Videl yelled just a little too loudly, Gohan nodded.
"You were with him the whole week-end, I'm starting to feel a little bit ignored Videl" Erasa mocked a fake sad face added, Gohan nodded. Videl realized that Gohan was still nodding, clearly not sharing the misery with her as he should, so she elbowed him in the stomach to bring him back.
"Oh, hey what was that for" Gohan whined although his heart wasn't really in it as he was still half controlling the other hims.
"Videls always violent, especially with people she like. So she must be extra violent with you as she loves you" Sharpener chimed in, he based his theory on her hitting him so much. What other explanation was there for her doing it so much?
"Oh My Kami your two are so annoying, we're leaving!" Videl yelled grabbing Gohans hand and storming off so she wouldn't have to listen to them talk about how she loved Gohan so much, again!
"She does realize her holding Gohans hand so she can take him somewhere privet kind of proves our point right" Sharpener observed dryly.
"Yes but their still too stupid to just do what we tell them" Erasa whined, she knew that if Videl would just listen to her for once she would be much happier. "Whatever, we'll try again tomorrow" Erasa though aloud.
"You know Einstein described insanity as doing the same thing over and over expecting different results" Sharpener commented realizing that they had been doing this for so long without success, this plan-if it could really be called that-clearly wasn't working. If anything Videl was trying harder to deny her feelings just to prove them wrong.
Erasa looked at Sharpener like he had grown a second head; he had just said something smart. Something terrible was going on. She was supposed to be the smart one-relatively. "H-how do you know that?" Erasa asked somewhat afraid of the answer, although she could figure out why.
"Gohan told me" Sharpener explained reassuringly, Erasa now felt at peace. Of course it was to do with Gohan, Sharpener didn't call him nerd-boy for nothing.
"Oh thank Kami, for a second I though you said something smart, which would be a bad sign" Erasa breathed out, she really had been confused.
"Hey" Sharpener whined annoyed that everyone though he was stupid.
"Shut-up I'm thinking… you're right we do need a new plan…" Erasa admitted with a thoughtful expression. "…and I think I've got one, but it will take a lot of work" Erasa declared before explaining her brilliant plant to Sharpener who was barely able to understand this incredibly complicated idea, but it would work. She was sure of it.
Shortly after Erasa had finished explaining her plan evil laughter could be heard from the where they were eating lunch, something they chose to do in celebration of their evil plans genius.
Meanwhile at the lookout, Krillen and Marron had just left the hyperbolic time chamber. They had been in for a year working on Krillens new technique. It was extremely complicated and required both of them but he knew it would be strong enough to defeat the androids.
They quickly took off flying back to Kame house to see 18 for the first time in months; Krillen was slightly annoyed neither Dende nor Popo greeted them but let it slide. They had a lot to do as well.
"So how old am I compared to Trunks now daddy" Marron asked not really understanding how the hyperbolic time chamber worked, despite Krillen explaining several times.
"You now as old as Trunks, you see Trunks has only aged one day but you aged a whole year in that time, so your now roughly Trunks age, although I think he still has a few months on you" Krillen explained for the hundredth time, fortunately he was very patient with her. It annoyed him that she was so obsessed with how close she was to Trunks in age, why did it even matter to her this much!
"So I'm a year older than Bra and Goten now" she asked still not quite sure what had happened.
"Yes, I guess" Krillen agreed not really listening; he had almost this exact conversation a few days ago. It was getting really dull.
