"Man," Krillin sighed, rubbing his forehead. He'd been firing off Kamehameha waves at the ocean for hours now. Refining his technique, adjusting how much power he used...
"Oh what's the point?" He muttered, sitting down on a rock. "Goku will just go Super Saiyan, save us all and I'll get to make snarky comments on the side while trying not to wet my pants." He grumbled. "Man... Maybe I should try to find whoever makes these androids and get some cyber upgrades of my own." Krillin chuckled.
"Yeah... Then get them to graft a Saiyan tail onto me so I could go Super Saiyan too... While I'm at it, I've love to have a three foot long-"
"Hey Krillin," Gohan said, touching down next to him. Krillin looked over at her.
"Hey Gohwahh?!" He laughed incredulously at the eleven year old girl as she touched down, blushing... And wearing a tank top and short skirt. "What-Has Chi-Chi been watching Toddlers with Tiaras?!"
Gohan sighed and rubbed her forehead. "For some reason, Bulma thought that this would be a boost to my confidence."
"... And?" Krillin managed. Gohan stared at Krillin.
"I got catcalled. CATCALLED! I'm eleven!"
"That is creepy," Krillin said with a sigh. He pulled off his gi and handed it to the blushing girl. Gohan took it with a frown.
"Are... You sure?" She asked. "I mean, you'll be going without a shirt."
"Eh, I'm fine," Krillin said with a smile and shrug. Gohan noted he did indeed keep very fit, his small stature aside. "Besides, I've got to try working out without the weighted clothing."
"Ah... I was going to ask about that," Gohan said, barely holding up the weighted gi. She grunted. "Oh man... How is this holding together-"
The gi tore apart and several lead balls fell onto the sand. Gohan grimaced.
"Ah... Er..."
Krillin shrugged. "It's all right..." He sighed. "Not the first time this has happened."
"It... May not be all bad," Gohan mumbled, blushing a bit. Krillin blinked.
"Wha-?"
"I MEAN," Gohan said quickly, "we can talk to Bulma! Who could get you a Kevlar gi! That can stand the weight better! Or get you into a gravity room for training! Or even explore cybernetic upgrades and so on!" She smiled. "I mean... Humans make things, build things. We've built starships and capsule tech and even those androids are human built!"
"Hm... Think that would be honorable?" Krillin asked. Gohan stared.
"You mean like raising people from the dead after they've received training they couldn't get in the living world to become super strong?" She asked dryly.
"You're absolutely right," Krillin said with a bright grin. "Hey, you feeling all right? You look kind of red."
"Ah... I didn't... Um... I think I'm having a hormonal reaction thanks to my olfactory capacity and the scent of your male hormones through your sweat," Gohan said quickly. Far too quickly. Krillin stared at her.
"What?" He asked.
"Uh... J-Just go take a shower... And put on a shirt, please," Gohan muttered. Krillin sighed and walked into Kame House.
"Fine..."
"He's like my uncle, he's like my uncle, he's like my uncle, stupid hormones!" Gohan hissed.
