A/N: Okay, there's a couple of pretty corny parts in here and I'm sorry lol. If you would like to see character pics I have done of Ceres and Koran, check out the link to my deviant art on my profile.
I wake up with the sun high in the sky. A light breeze passes, causing the shadows of leaves to dance across my skin. I stand and balance myself on my branch, stretching. I look at the sun once again, not believing how long I've slept. My stomach growls, as I jump to the ground, but I choose to ignore it. No better time to start training than now.
For the rest of the day I train, only stopping when I notice the sun is no longer in the sky. I find my way to a stream and poise myself, ready to catch a fish, all the while thinking. Should I return to that Capsule Corp? I can happily train in the solitude of these woods, no one would bother me. That gravity room sounds almost too good to pass up though. In the blink of an eye, I send my hand into the water pulling out a fish. I throw it in the grass behind me and reposition myself once again. What am I even supposed to do when I get there? Knock on the door? Then what? 'Hey, Ceres here. Come to use the gravity room', how ridiculous. I catch one more fish and decide to call that good enough for now. Maybe I'll get more delicious food from that woman.
As, the sky darkens, I quickly clean and eat the fish then make my way to Capsule Corp. Before I know it, I find myself standing in front of the massive dome building, heart racing. Why am I so nervous? I walk up to what I assume is the front door and raise my hand to knock. I turn my head to see if anyone is around, to hopefully save my embarrassment of knocking, but allow my knuckles to rap on the door as I do so. Only they don't meet with a door. I turn my head and find myself looking at Vegeta in the doorway, my knuckles resting on his forehead. His eyes narrow and I slowly let my hand fall to my side. I open my mouth to say something, but don't know whether to be apologetic or give him a smart aleck comment. All I hear is a very unflattering 'Uhhh' escape between my lips.
"Oh you did come back!" Bulma shouts from within the house. She pushes Vegeta aside and meets me in the doorway smiling. I never thought I would ever be happy to see her, but she saved me from further humiliation, so that's something. I just receive her with a humph and a cold glare.
"Where's this gravity room you promised me?"
"Right this way ma'am!" She says, mocking me. I should kick her for that, but instead I just follow her, Vegeta trailing behind. We walk across the yard and to a large black and white pod. She opens the door and we all walk in. "All of the basic controls are right here." She points to a console full of knobs and buttons. "They are pretty self explanatory. If you need to use the bathroom or want a snack or something feel free to come in the house. You're also welcome to stay there too if you want." She stops in the doorway, "Be careful, and I still wouldn't try using any ki. Oh, and don't mind Vegeta he's always a jerk!" She says raising her voice. "Play nice!", and she closes the door behind her.
I walk over to the console and start to calculate what an appropriate training level would be. Vegeta comes over and starts adjusting the knobs. He stands so close, his arm brushes against mine and I unconsciously take a step away. Then, the room starts to make a whirring noise and my body begins to feel heavier and heavier. I brace my arms against the machine and lean forward, letting it hold the half of my weight. I look over to Vegeta and he shadow boxes with himself. The gravity appears to have no effect on him. I glance at the number on the machine and am shocked, 100 times Earths gravity! How can he be so unaffected, I can barely breath!?
"One hundred times gravity? Are you crazy!?" I manage to yell.
He punches and kicks his imaginary opponent. "If you can't handle it then get out.", he growls.
Jerk. I grunt as I try to lift myself off the machine. My arms and legs shake under the incredible strain. I manage to take my hands from the machine but automatically hunch forward. I summon all of my strength to stand erect. My weight suddenly shifts backwards and I stumble. Under normal circumstances I would have caught myself, but under this gravity I fall flat on my back. My head hits the tiles and I naturally try to reach up and grab it, but my arms are pinned out to my sides. I can't take this, I have to reach that machine.
I lay on the floor and try to think of the easiest position to get up from. I painfully shift my hip to the side. Then, I manage to swing my arm over. It takes quite sometime, but I hold myself on my hands and knees panting. I crawl toward the console and lean against it, taking a momentary rest. Vegeta still boxes against his opponent and I hate him for his strength. He isn't even breaking a sweat. I growl as I lift myself up and once again rest my weight on the machine. I find the knob responsible for this hell and motion to grab it. I jump as Vegeta grabs my upper arm, surprising me. His eyes are narrowed and scrunched in anger, I give him the same look back. He pushes me to the ground and I barely catch myself. "You're a pathetic excuse for a Saiyan!", he says then continues with his own training.
I growl in anger and push myself up. Sweat trickles down my temple as I stand straight and push one foot forward. I narrow my eyes and clench my fists in concentration. I slide the next foot forward, then the next, until I start getting closer and closer to my adversary. Vegeta stands only a foot away, his back to me. He turns, smirking at me. I pull back my arm and release a punch at him. He takes a slight step back and I miss him completely. My punch throws me off balance and I fall into him. He places his forearms under my armpits, catching me. My cheek presses against his chest and I feel the heat radiating off him. Or is that the heat rising in my face? Oh Kami, I must be blushing. And his arms, they're under my hot, sweaty armpits! How worse can this get?
"Get off me!" I growl, although I was more appropriately on him. I put my hands on his stomach and push. I expect him to stumble back but I only find myself back on the floor. I stand back up as he walks to the console, and turns everything off.
"What are you doing?" I growl.
"It's late." He smirks and leaves, shutting the door behind him.
I walk back to the console finding that I feel much lighter. I throw a kick, followed by a couple of punches. Maybe it's just me, but I feel so much faster. Before I revel in this gravity, I make my way back to the console and turn it back to a hundred. I have to be strong enough to face Frost. The whirring sound begins and I feel the familiar pull of my weight. I will be stronger than Frost. I punch and fall to my knees. He controlled me. I push myself up and punch again, only this time I hold my ground. He was almost the death of me, but I will be the death of him.
A/N: Please review. I would really like to improve my writing, and if I don't have any feedback, I wouldn't know what to change. I'm also really big on staying in character, so let me know if some of my representations (especially Vegeta) don't fit. Thanks!
