Videl gathers up a few capsules with titles “Lunch 2” and “PoPo,” and examines the sight of her young friend sitting in the middle of her belongings. “Did you lose something, Peppa?”
Peppa goes through her books and clothes once again, but to no avail. “...yes.”
To lighten the mood, Erasa teases, “Was it chocolate? For your special someone?”
Peppa says nothing for a bit, then gives a small nod.
“Ohhh, okay,” Erasa backpedals. “Well, when’s the last time you had it?”
“Always, with me today, in my bag,” says Peppa.
Videl probes, “And you didn’t take the chocolate out at all, for any reason?”
Peppa shakes her head, “No, I was gonna give it to Cocoa afterschool, uh, before her school.” Different time zones, but Peppa could teleport and fly supersonic so it was hardly an issue to have a long-distance GF. “I think someone-”
“Could be at the Lost and Found,” Videl suggests soothingly. “If you dropped it, someone would have recovered it for you!”
Erasa considers, “Or someone could have eaten it. Or thought you left it for them especially!” Videl smacks the back of her head, “Yyyeowch! Mrrgh… sooo, did you write Cocoa’s name on it?”
Peppa thinks. “Yeah. I did.”
Videl laughs, “There you go! And if you don’t find it at the office, I’ll help you look for it later!” She tops off the declaration with a punch to her palm, and heads off to class.
“Good luck finding the chocolate! I mean, it’s Your chocolate, so it’s not like anyone’s gonna mess with it. Anyways, ta-ta!” Erasa gives a peace sign and walks away as well.
Peppa waves back at them with a smile. “That’s right… It’s My chocolate.” Her smile falls, and her eyes finally droop open. She gathers up her things. “Shoes, check, shirt, check, shorts, check…”
