Separated From One Another

Chapter Eighteen: The What?!

You woke with a start, a loud noise startling you awake, Chi-chi hesitantly knocked on your door, "Bulma sent something over for you."

"Come in," You called, scrambling out of your bed.

Chi-chi pushed the door open with her toe, she had a large box in her hands. She set down the box, backing off to let you open it up yourself; you easily ripped off the tape from the box. Inside was a whole slew of clothes, all sorts, Chi-chi's eyes sparkled at the sight.

"Oh, we are going to have to do something nice to repay her," You did not need to look at her to know there was a smile on her face, "I'll leave you to trying them on."

"Okay."

You returned your attention to the box before you, all of the clothes seemed like they would fit you. She was surprisingly tasteful in her selection, being made mostly up of graphic tees and shorts. With some skirts and joggers mixed in, so you could choose what you liked best. You were happy to find that she had also made you a training outfit, the slightly baggy material felt great against your palms. The blue and white were a nice color combo, you laid in down on your bed for later.

Bulma also included a pair of sneakers and a pair of boots, along with a bag. She really was spoiling you, she would away feed you when you went over and now she was sending you things. Your heart twisted at the thought, you quickly changed into one of the t-shirts and shorts, picking the one's that you thought looked best.

Stuffing your training gi into the bag you hurried off, "Bye, I'm gonna go thank Bulma for the gifts."

"Okay stay safe and be home at a decent hour."

You quickly took to the air, feeling it rush past you as you flew. Rolling around in the air, you made it to Bulma's house slower than you usually did. Knocking on the door, you stood outside longer than you normally did. The door was opened by a breathless Bulma, her cheeks a vibrant pink.

"Hi, come in, come in," She welcomed you inside.

You blinked at the sight of Vegeta scowling extra hard at Bulma, you raised a brow but decided to question it later. Vegeta stormed off before things could escalate any further, slamming doors behind him.

"How come you and Vegeta are acting so weird with each other," You asked, glancing at where Vegeta had just run off to.

Bulma paused, "Chi-chi never had the birds and the bees talk with you, did she?"

You tilted your head in confusion, "What does that mean?"

"Well, when two people love each other very much... sometimes they want to take things a step further. Which can come in all sorts of forms, like same-sex... sex," Bulma furrowed her brows, "Uhh—sex is when two people—"

"I know what sex is!" You interupted, face steaming, "Is that the birds and bees?"

"Yeah," Bulma admitted, "Sorry I forgot that you probably wouldn't know that kind of terminology."

"...Wait—no—" Your face dropped in horror, "You're banging Vegeta?!"

Bulma scratched the back of her head, "Yes—it's not my fault he's hot. If you had a man covered in sweat, shirtless I doubt you could resist either."

Unwittingly Frieza's form appeared in your mind, sitting on the floor with beads of sweat lazily streaming down his chest. You forced your mind to stop before it took you somewhere you did not want to go.

"What's that, do I see a blush," Bulma teased, "Who is it? Some space hottie?"

You head fell into your hands, "Please drop it, it's complicated."

"Okay I'll stop; you want to train?" She asked, "If you didn't bring the gi I made you, I have a spare."

"No, I brought it," You grinned.

"Vegeta is in the stronger, portable gravity room, but you can use the one over here," She mentioned, leading you to a metal door, "This one maxes out at one hundred times Earth's gravity."

You blinked, "It'd take me forever to get all the way up there."

"You'll do better than Vegeta, he likes to crank it to the max," She mentioned with a sigh, "Dumbass doesn't realize that it doesn't help."

You left with a laugh, hurrying into the bathroom, that doubled as a changing room as it was adjacent to the gravity room. Slipping on the gi you noticed that the top hugged your upper curves, while the bottoms were nice and baggy. You tied the belt making sure your pants would not fall with extraneous movement. Leaving your other clothes in the bathroom you hurried into the gravity room.

Clicking a few buttons you started off in only two times Earth's gravity, you immediately felt the impact. Your bones creaking with ever movement and your muscles twitching under your skin. Moving slowly—as fast as you could—you made your way to the middle of the room, sitting down on the floor. You allowed ki to flow into your viens, letting go of the ball your kept at your center. The gravity made your ki move sluggishly at first, after a few moments it adjusted to the new pressure. You very pointedly did not think about Frieza as you loosened your ki.

Now it was time to get your body to follow along with your ki, moving to stand was harder than sitting down. Your legs wobbled and you moved to walk, making laps around the room. After fifteen minutes you were jogging, thirty after that and you could run. Wiping a hand across your forehead, you walked back over to the panel cranking it up another step. The pressure was back, though you could move better than you had initially with times two gravity.

Having worked out your legs enough you decided to work your upper body, falling to the ground you started a rep of push ups. You were not counting while you did them, taking breaks every five minutes or so; your muscles burned but you kept going. Tomorrow you were going to be sore, that did not matter much to you at the moment, as you continued the rep.
