Memory of the Sun

Chapter 34: Training & Togetherness

A few days later...

...

Goku, Luna and Piccolo headed a good distance away from the Son house, getting ready to start their training for the day...

Gohan was busy with his studies for the moment, making the purple haired girl frown as she usually sparred with the younger Saiyan. It was one thing for Chi Chi to make Luna rest for a day or two when she got back, but making Gohan stay behind an extra day just to catch up on 'homework' was out of the question.

We're really going to need him in this battle... Luna thought seriously, stretching a bit as she watched Goku doing the same. The time when we'll have to fight is getting closer and closer...

"I'm excited to see what you learned while training with Vegeta..." Goku admitted, glancing at her happily as he wondered what the other Saiyan had been up to. "I'll bet he's gotten a lot stronger!"

"Yeah... He's been training at over four hundred times gravity..." Luna replied, still surprised about that fact herself as she shook her head, remembering the first time she had tried to keep up with him in the simulator at that level. "I could only stand three hundred... But maybe if I had more time to get used to it-"

"Wow! Four hundred times gravity!" Goku shouted, unable to contain himself as he grabbed onto her shoulders while his eyes shimmered with excitement. "I can't believe it... I can't wait until he and I get to fight one on one!" The Saiyan cheered, laughing to himself as Luna blinked back at him, not sure of what to say.

Typical Goku...

"You would be excited about a potential death match..." Piccolo growled, getting their attention as he frowned down at them, crossing his arms before speaking. "Enough small talk... We're wasting time talking when we could be training!" He finished seriously, obviously done waiting for both of them to get focused.

"Heh heh, yeah... Maybe we should worry about beating the androids first, right Goku?" Luna chuckled, smiling at the Saiyan as he agreed.

"Yeah, right!" He laughed, scratching the back of his head nervously as he looked at the irritated Namekian in front of him. "Why don't you two go first?" Goku suggested innocently, looking back and forth between Luna and Piccolo as he smiled. "I'll watch!"

"Really?! Okay!" The lavender haired girl cheered, excited to finally show off what she had learned while she was away.

Piccolo merely grunted in response. "Hmpf... Sounds to me like you're just slacking on training again because of your late night activities..."

Goku tripped, slipping on the grass comically as his cheeks turned a bit red before he glared in Piccolo's direction. "Y-you heard... I- I mean, ha hAHA....... I don't know what you're talking about!" Goku stammered, unaware that his friend had overheard what was going on in his and Chi Chi's bedroom the other night.

"What late night activities?" Luna questioned innocently, glancing at the Saiyan who seemed to be at a loss for words. "Have you been doing some extra training while I was gone Goku?"

Piccolo burst out laughing, glancing back and forth between Luna and an embarrassed looking Goku while listening to the Saiyan in amusement as he tried to think up an excuse. Alright, this isn't a waste of time... He thought, smirking at Luna as she tilted her head to the side, still waiting for an answer.

"U-uh, YES! B-but now you're back... S-so you can show me what you've learned!" The dark haired man said quickly, changing the subject as he jumped back, finding himself a nice seat in the shade. "Alright! I can tell this is going to be good!"
