Episode 51: The old foolish trio! The foolish wish!
December 31st, Age 787

*=Pilaf's castle=*

"Er-ugh! Shu! Mai! Hurry up and get in here!" Pilaf ordered his subordinates, from his room, dumbfounded as he stared at the set of glowing mystical Dragonballs.

Shu and Mai rushed in the room in a slow, elderly manner: Shu on his cane-Mai using a walker.

"W-what is it, Emperor Pilaf?" Mai questioned.

"T-the Dragonballs aren't stones anymore! I think they're active again!"

"Well, what are you waiting for? You better hurry and make your wish before something bad happens, as it always does..."

"Yes! You're right!" Pilaf concurred, turning back to the Dragonballs... not thinking... "Eternal Dragon! By holy name I call you forth!: Shenron!" Pilaf shouted, summoning Shenron before he and his gang.

**Choooooosh! Smassssssssssssh!** Shenron arose from the Dragonballs, smashing through the ceiling of Pilaf's castle... destroying the entire building.

...

-"Koff! Koff!" Pilaf, Shu, and Mai were coughing in the ruble, gagging on the debris on Pilaf's fallen castle-unscathed.

"Why have you summoned me? Tell me your one wish, now!" Shenron demanded.

"My castle! Look what you did to my castle!" Pilaf shouted, shaking his fists at the towering dragon.

Shenron's eyes glowed bright red. "It is not in your best interest to speak to a Dragon God in that tone of voice You were the one who summoned me inside your castle, therefore you are the one who is responsible for that foolish action!"

"Argh! We're sorry, Shenron!" Mai and Shu apologized, in a frightened manner.

Pilaf was frozen from fright, still staring. "Mai, this is all your fault! You're the idiot who jumped the gun and told me to summon Shenron!" Pilaf slowly made is way towards Mai, in attempt to slap her straight.

Mai flinched. "I'm sorry, Emperor! I should be ashamed for such an hasty move!"

**KRAKK! Pow!** Pilaf face-planted into the ground, as a result of a terrible backache.

"Argh! My back!" Pilaf screamed in agony.

"Emperor Pilaf! Are you all right?!" Shu and Mai asked in unison, panicking.

Pilaf raised his head, blushing and still in pain, shaking his fist at Shu and Mai this time.. "...I wish I weren't so caught up in this elderly age! I could really get my hands on you if I were a few years younger!"

Shenron's eyes glowed once again. "As you wish!"

"Huh?! No! I didn't mean that!" Pilaf shouted, running towards Shenron as he was transforming into a small child!

"Your wish has been granted! Now I will take my leave!"

"...E-eternal Dragon...! What about my second wish?! I thought you had the power to grant two wishes now?!"

"You ask so many questions... I have the power to grant three wishes, but two wishes were already used six months ago, by Kami of Earth, hence why the restoration of the Dragonballs, with one wish remaining, happened before you today... Now, I must go!"

**Choooooosh!**

"ERGH!" Pilaf fitted.

"Aww! Emperor! I forgot how cute you were as a child!" Shu said.

"Shuddup, Shu!" Pilaf shouted, chasing Shu and Mai around in a circle.
