Ten minutes later, class is in session technically, but the history professor is still working out how to set up the projector and some things are doomed to repeat no matter what. So, the students are all having whispered conversations and lounging around.
But even with that downtime, something that doesn’t repeat, or happen, period, is Peppa showing up late to class. And there she is, standing in the doorway of the classroom.
Videl looks up from stabbing between her fingers with a pencil and spots Peppa. She waves the girl over while the professor is distracted.
Peppa instead goes over to the professor’s desk. She hops up onto it, gaining even the professor’s attention now, and holds up an unwrapped package. “Who did this?”
The class is silent for a moment. The air is heavy in the room due to Peppa’s uncanny behavior. She never makes a scene like this, which is why the sight of her, holding that?
“...pfft!” “heheheh” “AhahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA” So goddamn funny for her classmates.
Not to her though. “No! Stop it, stop laughing! I’m being serious!” shouts Peppa.
Her cousin, Izumi, giggles into her sleeve. “But Peppa, snrk, look what you’re holding!”
Peppa was in fact holding up a piece of chocolate shaped like Poop. “Look, it’s chocolate, okay?”
Peppa’s brother Gohan jokes, “I sure hope so!” Laughter.
Peppa shouts back, “Up, shut! I just wanna know who took my chocolate, so I can ask for it back!”
Videl raises her hand, which has Peppa direct some intensity at her. She flinches in surprise, but says, “Well, uh, what did it look like, Peppa?”
“It was wrapped in a package exactly like this one, except… well, it’s exactly like this one.” She sets the package down, gets on her knees, and clasps her hands together. “Please give it back?”
The mirth in the classroom dissipates, and the class goes silent. …but the silence continues.
The history professor pats her on the shoulder, “Miss Son, I’m sorry to hear you’ve fallen victim to a prank, but we can sort this out after class.”
Peppa trembles a bit, and is about to nod… when all of a sudden she hears whispering from the students. “Does someone have something they’d like to say?!”
A bespectacled girl, who has risen from her seat, lets out an “eep!” and blushes from all the newfound attention on her.
Peppa points at her, “Yeah, you! That’s right, I’m talking to you! You know where my chocolate went?”
The girl stammers out, “I, uh, I was just going to the restroom, desu...”
“Please hold it till we sort this out,” Peppa commands.
Videl briskly appears next to Peppa, and says, “Peppa, we can find it later! I’ll help you.” Then, she leans in and says through her teeth, “You’re starting to freak people out.”
“Who’s freaked out?” she laughs, then snaps her head toward the class, “I’m only making perfectly reasonable requests!”
