Jason had lead them through a winding back alley path to a beautiful looking Italian restaurant.

"I never knew this place existed! This is so f****** good! I shall never eat anywhere else again!", Wilbur whisper yelled.

"This is absolutely exquisite."

"Techno, stop using so many big words!" Tommy whined.

Phil laughed, "Just let him have his fun, Tommy."

Jason seemed to just enjoy their banter, Techno just hoped he doesn't try to kidnap them or something. He was really starting to like being around him.

    After everyone had finished eating and onei small argument between Phil and Jason (which was about who would pay, Phil had given a Jason a triumphant look when he handed his card over to the waiter), they were walking once more.

    Philza, the father of thousands that he is, was lecturing Jason on keeping his own money for retirement. Who was arguing back that people should be able to respect their elders by paying for their meals. Phil, despite basically being called a senior citizen, replied that a child like Jason should be saving up for college. Tommy looked absolutely delighted to not be the only one call "child", and Jason brain seemed to just stop working for a full thirty seconds. Yes, Techno did count the seconds.

    The end of that conversation some how sparked a discussion about potatoes, not that Techno's complaining or anything. Before you say, Oh, Techno. You poor fool. You only know of online potatoes! Yeah, well he created a small garden on the fire escape of his apartment. Potatoes are more important than escaping a fire.

"Y-you-?.... Wha-?... Why? How?"

"Well you see, Tommy, it's called gardening."

Jazz hands.

"Well, obviously! But why? Like... why? I just- I-I don't understand, just-"

     He's broken Tommy's mind again, it's always mildly fascinating to see him try and put his questions in to words. Techno, being the older brother he is, just sat back and watched.

   Tommy just waves his hands helplessly, "Just why?"

    Philza finally realized the explanation bit is left to him because everyone else at the table are far too sadistic for their own good. "Tommy, I believe the only reason Techno does anything is purely because he can, and he has the time for it."

"I- Okay."

The rest of the group bursts out laughing, and poor Tommy just kinda questions his existence.

"Soooo, anyyyywaaaayyyysss. Back the potatoes-"

"What? Wait, you weren't joking?!?"

"Jason, here we do not question the Blade."

"Thank you Tommy, now back to the-"

"Nonononononon, now hold on. Now I want to see proof of this."

"Will, shut up. I just want to talk about potatoes. D:"

"Di-did you just say capital dee colon out loud?"

"Tommy, just let the man speak."

"Yeah, we'll bully the answer out of him later."

"Will!! No!"

    Techno sighed, turned to Jason, "Well, anyways, so like I was sayin' I've entrusted the mini farm to my siblings, and if all goes well, I will be able to buy a huge chunk of land in the north, preferably in Idaho, and retire a potato farmer."

Jason blinks, "Okay, first off, don't you mean garden? And secon-"

"No, I said what I said."

"Umm.... Alright. So second how many siblings do you have?"

"Too many."

"Fair enough. Third, why Idaho?"

The audacity of this man.

"Sir, are you, or are you not American?"

Jason just looks disappointed in himself, "Please just tell me." Sigh. "Pooootttttaaaaatttteeesss. That's why, Idaho, land of the potatoes and the potato farmers."

Once again, Jason looks extremely disappointed, "I have fail my teachers, all of them. Literally ALL of them." Techno awkwardly pats Jason's back, "That's alright, not everyone is as focused on potatoes as me. Any more questions?"

"No, but you have strange ambitions, and I find that extremely admirable."

Wait, was that a weird and convoluted complement!?

"I- umm- t-thank you?"

"You are welcome, now we should probably make sure your friends don't kill each other."

Both of them shift, to look at Phil sanding in between Tommy and Wilbur, who look like they are about to throw hands over, god know what.

Techno sighed again, once more at the stupidity of his companions.

"Come on, we better break this up. I want the actual do something fun today."

This chapter was so hard to write for some reason :/
Don't worry I have a good idea for after Techno goes home though. It will be great. Promise.

Once again posted at midnight.
