TRAIN UNTIL YOU DROP

As Bulma watches Tv and eats popcorn, she notices that a few hours have passed and Shallot is still outside. She peeks outside and sees him doing one armed push ups. Bulma shrugs it off and goes back to watching TV.

Later Bulma brushes her hair in the bathroom, getting ready for bed. She then turns to the window behind her and sees Shallot punching and kicking a giant bolder.

"He's still going?" Bulma asks, shocked.

She continues watching for a moment, soon stopping and going to bed.

A few more hours pass and Bulma lays awake, not being able to sleep. She gets up and walks over to the window to see if Shallot is still outside. She sees him with three giant boulders on his arms and on top of his head. Bulma is in awe at the young saiyan. Shallot then collapses out of exhaustion. Worried about him, Bulma runs outside to check on him.

Shallot lays on his back, breathing heavily, with marks and dirt all over his body. Bulma approaches him slowly his body.

"Come on, you've been at this for hours. Don't you want to come inside? Rest? Take a long shower." She says, covering her nose.

Shallot slowly sits up, taking deep breaths.

"Yeah, I think that's enough for today."

Shallot slowly gets back up, still out of breath. Bulma then thinks of a question to ask him.

"Why are you pushing yourself so hard? Seems like an exhausting way to keep in shape to me."

Shallot doesn't answer for a moment and just looks up at the stars in the night sky.

"You asked about my planet earlier. Well, it's gone. Destroyed, and my entire race along with it."

Bulma is shocked.

"How can a planet just be gone, just like that?" She asks.

Memories of Lord Frieza passes through Shallots mind.

"A tyrant. The one who has held our people under his thumb for years."

"That's impossible, how can one guy destroy an entire planet alone? That's just insane, especially if you consider-"

Shallot interrupts her by shooting a ki blast into a few rocks near by. Bulma is astounded by this.

"Think of that but on a larger scale."

"Ok, I think I believe you now."

Shallot looks at his hand and makes a fist.

"Right now, I'm not nearly strong enough to take him down. So I'll keep getting stronger, until I can kill him, and avenge my people."

When Shallot says this, Bulma feels a little bad.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know."

Shallot turns to her and gives her a big smile.

"It's ok. You couldn't have known. It's getting cold out, we should head inside."

As Shallot walks away, Bulma wonders how the boy can carry such a large burden on his shoulders, yet smile like he doesn't have a care in the world.

Later, while Shallot is in the shower, Bulma washes his clothes.

"Jeez kid, when was the last time you cleaned yourself, you seriously reek." Bulma says as she drops his clothes in the wash.

"Hey Bulma, where's the cleansing powder?" Shallot asks.

"We don't have that here, we have soap."

"Soap? The hell is that?"

"Seriously, you can shoot lasers from your hands but you don't know what soap is? It's that yellow block there made of animal fat."

"Really? That sounds amazing."

Shallot picks it up and takes a bite out of it. He then spits it out and coughs a piece of it up.

"It tastes nothing like what you just said!"

Bulma let's out a sigh.

"Why me?" She asks herself.

Later that night, Bulma can't sleep because of Shallots snoring. She tries to cover her head with her pillow but she is still able to hear him. Bulma finally has enough, grabs her pillow, and storms into Shallots room. She raises the pillow above her head, ready to hit him with it, but she stops when she notices the multiple battle wounds on his body.

"Woah, those are a lot of scars." She says to herself.

She then remembers what Shallot told her about his home planet and feels sorry for the boy.

"He must have been through so much."

She then let's out a sigh and leaves the room.

"Ok Bulma, surely you can put up with a little snoring for tonight." She says as she tries to go back to sleep, putting a pillow over her head.

Meanwhile at an unknown location, shadowy figure, holding the two star dragon ball smiles in the darkness. He then turns to his computer, talking to one of his associates.

"I don't care what it takes, just bring me the other dragon balls. Kill anyone that gets in your way."
