2nd shopping trip [Video, filtered from Vegeta]

[fashionably_strong]

Hey everyone! I've already got Mother's Day covered for celebrating with my mom, but things are a little trickier with my dad. I've been thinking about it and the thing that would make him the happiest would be if I spent the whole day training with him. He's a super strong martial artist and it's his favourite thing to do.

[Which will be a real labour of love. There's no way she'd willingly subject herself to anything close to what her father would consider a good amount of training on a regular basis.]

I've already been getting some training, but I've never gone all out and trained for a whole day straight.

[It's never appealed to her before. Not even remotely. Regular exercise is one thing, and dancing is fun. 8+ consecutive hours of intense training is something she'll need to work herself up to if she's going to be able to move the next day.]

So...I was hoping to find people that would be willing to spar with me. I want to get strong enough to protect little kids that get drafted and I want to make my dad's Father's Day really special. I'm pretty durable and I can fly, so you don't need to worry about me being too fragile to handle it.

[She smiles and waves.]

Thanks a bunch in advance. In return, I'll give makeovers and fashion advice to anyone who wants it.

Vah- Vegeta-san?! He has already bested me in battle! And... he is a father?!

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

[It's not terribly surprising that her dad's been sparring with others.]

Well, yeah. I don't think there's any other guys named Vegeta around here. ...unless there's an ancestor here that I didn't know about, but I'm sure Dad would have found out before I did. He's way better at sensing ki than I am.

[Video]

[niceguypose]

I see. He certainly did not appear to be ancient. He was spry and young, with jagged hair that radiated with youth. I had no idea of his parental status.

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

I meant more like...you know how people can come from different points in time? Technically, it would be possible for my grandfather to show up here as a ten year old.

[And wouldn't that be weird? She's pretty sure the Vegeta in question is her father, though.]

Dad's older than he looks. If we're talking about the same Vegeta, he's not very tall, but he's got big muscles and broad shoulders. His hair does stick up, and he looks like he's grumpy a lot of the time, even when he's not.

[Video]

[niceguypose]

I think I understand better now! You wish that your grandfather was a child so that you could raise him... Very admirable, Bulla-san!

Ah... I believe that description matches him! He certainly seemed displeased when we met. I wondered if it could be something disagreeing with his digestive system, but I did not dare to ask.

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

...that wasn't what I was saying at all, actually.

[Seriously, where did he even get that? She shrugs it off.]

Oh, that's Dad's usual facial expression. How did your fight with him go, anyway?

[Video]

[niceguypose]

Oh? I see. Perhaps you are better off appreciating your springtime of youth than looking for grandfathers to raise, after all!

I was defeated, and I do not believe I struck any lasting blows. However, I was not crippled in defeat and have been training hard in order to endeavor to overcome him!

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

I think I'd like to avoid raising kids until I'm at least thirty.

[If nothing else, she can appreciate Lee's nerve. He had to be skilled to have even struck any blows, too. No matter how confident her father was, he wasn't one to give people free hits.]

Well, I'm not really much of a fighter at all, but I could at least help you prepare for fighting a person who can fly.

[Video]

[niceguypose]

That sounds like an admirable life plan! [And he emphasizes it with a thumbs up.]

Would you? I was uncertain of what techniques could work best against flying men. I would be eternally grateful! How could I ever repay you?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

You're volunteering to help me train so I can get stronger. Think of it as me repaying you and don't worry about it.

[Video]

[niceguypose]

Ah... That does sound correct. I approve of this exchange, Bulla-san!

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

So, when should I meet you?

[Video]

[niceguypose]

How about in the morning? When the fires of youth are just beginning to simmer!

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

How about nine am?

[She can handle mornings. It's early mornings that she has no interest in.]

[Video]

[niceguypose]

That is a less youthful time. But still, very agreeable!

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

[Less youthful time? No, don't question it, Bulla. You probably don't want to know.]

All right. I'll see you around nine am in the woods, then.

[Video -> Action]

[niceguypose]

Very well! I shall see you then, Bulla-san! It was a pleasure to make this arrangement.

[The video feed clicks off.

And that morning, it's not hard to find the clearing in which Lee is training. It's filled with noise as Lee bounces around, already practicing a variety of speedy moves on the nearby trees.]

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla arrives just a minute before nine am. She's dressed for a workout, clad in a purple t-shirt, black capri pants, and running shoes.]

Good morning, Lee!

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He's been at it for a while now. After energetically kicking at a tree, he wipes the sweat from his forehead and turns to face Bulla. While jogging in place.]

Good morning, Bulla-san! Are you well?

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[Jogging in place while talking to her is a little odd, but perhaps he's trying to keep his leg muscles warm to get in a good stretch later.]

I am. Thanks for asking. How are you, Lee?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[Or perhaps he wishes he could spend his whole life exercising.]

I am well. I feel quite youthful! And fully prepared for today's exercises.

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

So, how should we start? Do you want to teach me a few things, or just do a bit of basic sparring, or what?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

Basic sparring sounds like an excellent way to warm up and to gauge what abilities you already have! {He says as he boxes at the air.] That is a course of action which I support!

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[Lee has such an odd way of phrasing things sometimes, but he's being nice enough to help her out so she says nothing about it.

She gets into a fighting stance.]

Okay, I'm ready whenever you are!

[Action]

[niceguypose]

Very well. [He slips into his own fighting stance.] Let this spar... begin! [And he dashes straight at her, to try some quick jabs around her shoulders.]
