Training Days & Nights

10:55pm

Goten entered the gravity room. He was surprised at how quickly it'd been repaired. He couldn't see any indication of the fight that had happened less than a week ago. He walked to the center of the room, and began performing a few light excercises as he waited for Bra. She said she'd be here at 11.

Goten was beginning to get worried and began nervously paced the Gravity Room, waiting for Bra. He checked his watch. 11:18 pm it read. He knew there was little chance anyone else would come in here this time of night, but he still couldn't shake the feeling like he was going to be caught.

"Maybe I should go, she's already late..." He fiddled with the front draw strings of his gi. There was a loud metallic clamping noise as the Gravity Room door opened. Goten held his breath for a second the exhaled in relief as Bra walked in dressed in a tight fitting tank top and shorts, both were her favourite scarlet red. Goten couldn't help but stare at her, his mouth hanging open. 'Wow...' Goten thought.

"Something the matter Goten?" she grinned. She knew perfectly well what was the matter

"Um, no no, heh, that's not the greatest outfit for training though B-Chan."

"Oh... well, I'll go change if you want."

"haha no no, that's okay, we'll worry about that later. Ready to start?"

"Absolutely."

"Can you handle higher gravity?"

"Yeah whenever me and trunks or dad fight we always use high gravity."

"yeah Vegeta loooooves that high gravity. What do you usually train at?"

"I dunno like 150?"

Goten set the gravity machine then engaged it. They were both briefly pulled forward and set off balance as they adjusted to the gravity. Goten strolled over to her. 150 gravity wasn't too noticeable. Bra seemed to be doing fine with as well.

"Okay, let's start with the basics. Do you know many energy attacks?"

"Umm.. actually I only know how to do these kind" she said a little embarrassed. She fired a small energy ball out of her outstretched hand. "Dad and trunks never taught me any of theirs."

"Heh, alright, well I'll teach you the kamehameha if you want?"

"Yeah I definitely do!" she responded enthusiastically. "Hehe I can just picture my dad's response when I pull a kamehameha on him next time we're training."

"Okay well for starters, have to learn to charge your energy. Do another one of those energy balls, except try to hold it in your hand, don't release it."

12:22 am

"Good, good B-Chan!" Goten cheered as Bra held her hands forward, continually streaming her energy into a beam. Bra closed her hands together, ending the beam. "I'm really getting the hang of this." She said.

"Heh yeah you are, okay now the kamehameha form. Watch me." Goten put his hands together then pushed them forward in front of him before pulling them back to his side. "Ka.. me... ha... me... ha!!" he yelled before bringing his hands forward. He didn't actually let out the blast since he wanted to demonstrate the hand movement a few times. "What do you think?" He asked dropping his hands to his sides.

"I can definitely do that.. I think.."

Goten grinned a little. "Okay watch one more time, then you take a shot at it ok?"

"Okay!"

Goten brought his hands forward again, repeating the exact hand movement he had a moment ago. "Ka... me... ha... me... ha!!" He yelled a little louder this time, unleashing the brilliant blue wave, which struck the opposing wall, rippling along it as the wall dissipated the energy. Goten moved over to Bra's right side so he could watch her form better. "Okay show me!"

Bra brought her hands forward just as Goten had done. She pulled them back to her side and began charging energy. "Ka.. Me... Ha...Me...HA!!" She yelled unleashing the blast. But rather then stream forward in a continuous blast, her energy came out in a series of beams that scattered randomly from her open hands and ricocheted around the room. Goten dodged and weaved through her beams, barely escaping being hit several times. She quickly closed her hands together ending the blast.

"Ohh Sorry Goten, you didn't get hit did you??" She said genuinely concerned, but amused at the events that had just transpired.

"No no I'm fine." Goten laughed a little. "Okay I guess I should have been clearer, we need to practice the form abit before you actually start shooting off the energy." He stuck out his tongue. "Okay watch me closely, I'll do the form repeatedly, try to mimic my movements, but DON'T actually fire off the energy". Goten moved so he was facing her head on. He pulled his hands forward then to his side then forward again. He repeated these actions a second time, then a third. On the fourth time Bra attempted to mimic him. He watched her arms and hand movements closely. They mirrored each other a few times before Goten stopped. "Okay good, there's just one little thing.." He walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her so he could manipulate her hands.

'Hehe.. perfect, I knew he'd notice I was doing that wrong.' She thought.

"Okay, you're doing it perfectly until here..." Goten started, bringing her hands to her side. He felt weird touching her, but yet.. right at the same time. "You were putting them too close to each other, have to keep them at least this far apart.." He pulled her hands a little further apart. "The more energy you're going to be charging your kamehameha with, the further you're hands should be apart, or you'll run into problems like that earlier one" Goten laughed.

Bra turned her head back to him. "I think I got it." She said as she smiled. Goten let go of her hands and moved so he was on her right side again.

"Okay let's see it!"

Bra put her hands forward again, before pulling them to her side. "Ka! Me!" Her hands were quaking with energy "Ha! Me!" "I've got it this time" she thought. HAAAA!!" She yelled pushing her hands forward. She'd executed it perfectly and the massive energy way erupted from the ends of her hands. It's colour was a little peculiar though. Instead of the blue or red of everyone else's kamehameha, her's was distinctly green.

When her hands had closed ending the blast, she dropped to the ground taking deep breaths. Goten hurried over to her and helped her up.

"Nice one B-Chan." Goten said approvingly.

"That wasn't so hard." Bra said moving the locks of hair that had fallen over her face out of the way. She was still breathing heavily. "Sure is tiring though."

"Yeah I know, don't worry, you'll get less tired with practice. I've never seen a green kamehameha before though."

"Did I do it wrong?"

"No not at all, you did it perfectly. Everyone has abit of a different energy, yours must be different enough to cause it to be green

They kept at this for nearly two months, training at night and when they were pretty sure no one else would be attempting to use the gravity room, and training outside in remote areas during the day. Goten could feel her power rising rapidly. In no time at all she'd broken the million power level mark. He could also feel himself seriously crushing on her; they didn't just train together, they started hanging around with each other inside and outside of school. Bra had made a point to hang around him constantly after his and Cassy's breakup. She noticed the jealously in Cassy's face anytime she saw her and she loved it.
At the end of their latest training session...

"I think you're ready B-Chan."

"Ready for what?"

"To go super saiyan"
