“Plans?” Gohan repeats, pouring some batter onto a hot griddle.
“Some stuff to explain. We’ll go over it later.” you reply, heading out of the kitchen.
“All right, all right, I’ll check with my family…”
As Videl does that, you head over to mom, who’s still gloomily hanging her head. You pat her on the shoulder, reminding her, “Hey, hey, you’re still taller than Groucho, right? Not like he’s gonna get any sudden growth spurts.”
She gives the tiger a gentle pat on the head as she reminds you, “Groucho walks around on all fours. If he stood up he’d be taller than your dad, Peppa.”
“...Well, yeah, but still!” Okay she has a point. “Um. I’m gonna freshen up a bit and help Gohan with dinner. Sound good?” She nods, and you dart towards the bathroom. After a quick shower, you head back into the kitchen, Videl confirming her family’s fine with her staying for dinner over at your place as she takes her turn getting a shower in.
“Want any special pancakes, Videl?” you ask before she starts.
“Up to you!”
Up to you… oh! You’ve got an idea! You carefully pour out a few new ones as Gohan chops up some of the bacon to add them with some peppers and cheese into the next batch of eggs to make omelets. Takes a couple tries to get them just right, but once they’re ready, hoo boy!~
Once Videl’s done showering, you and Gohan have a few stacks of pancakes ready, enough eggs and bacon to feed a small dojo, and a now very much awake and hungry Buu who’s almost ready to challenge you and Gohan both to an eating contest. For Videl, you telekinetically float down a few pancakes you made in the shape of birds, getting her to chuckle a bit.
