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.

[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.]

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[She tries to bring up her fists to block, but Lee's punches all connect. Fortunately, Bulla is a lot more durable than she looks, and she shakes them off as if they were just taps. She comes back with a palm strike aimed to slam into Lee's chest.]

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He's definitely surprised! He's punching without any visible damage. And aided by his confused state, the palm strike connects and knocks Lee back some yards.]

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[When Lee goes flying, Bulla's a little startled. She knew she never struggled in gym class in school - punishing her with push-ups for talking in class proved futile, and she could always do exercises other girls struggled with easily. Lee is a better fighter than her. She's observed enough martial artists over the years to be able to see the clear difference in their skill levels, and yet...]

Ohmigosh! Sorry! Are you okay?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He climbs up to his feet with a chipper smile. The strength of that blow... it was fairly reminiscent of his own battle with Vegeta.]

Yes. Do not worry! I simply... did not expect such strength!

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

Neither did I.

[She didn't realize she was capable of sending people flying like that, although in retrospect, it makes some sense. She is half-Saiyan, even if she's not a very strong one. Saiyan infants were innately capable of handling ten times Earth's gravity. It stands to reason that she could do the same, making her at least ten times stronger than a normal human teenage girl. Which still makes her substantially weaker than her father, but it helps to put things in perspective.]

Well, I'm glad you're okay. Do you want to keep going?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

Yes. [He nods firmly.] Until one of us can no longer stand!

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

That seems kind of excessive for a friendly sparring match.

[Especially without someone with healing powers present.]

How about we spar until one of us is down for more than ten seconds?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

Excess or pushing past limitation? [But he won't push it.] Very well. Your idea is acceptable, Bulla-san!

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

I'm pretty sure it counts as excessive if you can't stand after a sparring match.

[Not to mention, incredibly awkward for the person still standing to explain.]

Okay, let's continue then. You don't have to hold back. I can take a hit.

[She goes back into stance.]
