Seventeen was not pleased with what her sister did, then again who would be happy about someone throwing away your belongings so they can fit in their property.
"What do you think you're doing?" Seventeen inquired annoyingly.
"I said the closets were too small for a girl like me" Eighteen replied casually.
"And what about my stuff?
"You aren't sanitary enough to care anyway" Eighteen replied, smiling.
"Yeah well whatever, you know we can get a bigger closet IF you get some zenies."
"How do you suggest we do that?" Eighteen asked.
"Rob a bank." Seventeen said, chuckling.
"Yeah..right." Eighteen muttered… followed by an awkward silence. Neither siblings said a thing, since they were both at a loss for words when they both realized that they are stuck in a predicament. Both cyborgs realized they needed money to support their life, and simply robbing the bank wasn't an option, with the Z fighters being so much stronger than them and can easily stop them.
Finally Seventeen broke the silence, when he thought he figured out a plan to get money. "You know we can simply join some underground fighting ring and get some quick cash." Seventeen shrugged. Eighteen didn't scrap the idea immediately, but she did find problems with it. For one, how long would the fighters tolerate before they get tired of getting beaten down and then ban the siblings from fighting. Eighteen sighed quietly as she continued thinking about other options, before an idea finally hit her head. 'Maybe, just maybe I can ask that badly that was so bent on helping us, maybe he can find me a job or some easy zenies.' Eighteen thought. Meanwhile Seventeen was waiting impatiently for a response from his sister, annoyed and finally had enough and he simply broke the silence yet again. "Look I don't know about you, but I'm gonna go join some fighting ring and make some quick cash, SEE YA," and with that Seventeen flew out the door and off to the horizon. Eighteen having no interest in following her brother, instead decide to find Krillin instead. She flew back up to the tower where she first awaken after Krillin brought her there, she thought it would be where he lived, at least the closest place where he would have any connection to.
"You're a joke." Seventeen said, as he punched the other fighter across the cell.
"KNOCKED OUT COLD IN ONE PUNCH!" The announcer exclaimed. "This new kid is really something huh?" As Seventeen left the ring, he heard many boos, but that was probably because he casually took out their reigning champ. He shrugged at the unfriendly remarks the audience threw at him. After all why would Seventeen care? All he was doing was earning zenies, he could care less about the fame from this. As Seventeen walked into the office where he would receive his payment, the manager eyed him menacingly as he approached his office closer.
"You know it's bad for publicity to have my reigning champion defeated so effortlessly, you could have at least made it look good for the fans" The manager said annoyingly, as he handed Seventeen 1000 zenies.
"1000 zenies only? That's all I get for defeating your champ?" Seventeen asked.
"Well what do you expect, you're a first timer. Tell you what, if you can keep up with the good performance and can actually beat the next 100 challengers, I'll give you 10 thousand zenies, how that sound?" The manager asked and went back to his newspaper not even paying attention to Seventeen. Seventeen simply shrugged and took the zenies and went home. When Seventeen returned home, he noticed his sister was not there. 'Hmm I wonder what Eighteen is up to.' He thought.
Eighteen took some time to figure out where the lookout was, as she did not pay attention to where it was located when she flew off. Finally Eighteen noticed the long thin tower that seems to reach all the way into the skies. She flew towards it and as Eighteen arrived at Dende's Lookout, she noticed that it was a lot quieter than when she first left. She assumed that the cause of the emptiness was simply when Shenron was summoned he was the center of attention, and that after Shenron dissipated, everyone left to continue with their own lives. When Eighteen landed just to see Mr. Popo tending to the flowers and plants, she wasn't surprised.
Eighteen looked around and scanned for any sign of life besides Mr. Popo and his plants, she was interrupted when Mr. Popo approached her nervously. "Umm hello there." Mr. Popo stammered, it was clear he still didn't fully trust the cyborg and that she still pose a threat to him, even if everyone else seems to be fine to let her loose around the world. Eighteen simply ignored the formal introductions and went directly into asking where Krillin was. "Well...uhh he left a while ago...and he should be at Roshi's house…" Mr. Popo replied, still as nervous as before.
"Then I'm done here." Eighteen said as she flew off to Roshi's house.
"Krillin, quit lookin' so down will ya, there's more fish in the sea." Roshi said as he tried to comfort Krillin.
"You don't get it; Eighteen probably thinks I'm a weirdo." Krillin said while hanging his head down.
"Hey look sobbing all day isn't going to make her fall for you." Oolong remarked as he appeared from behind the couch Krillin was sitting on.
"Well what other ideas do you guys have? Comforting me sure isn't gonna work." Krillin said sadly
"hehehe why don't you gather the dragon balls and make a wish that she falls for you?" Oolong laughed slyly.
"Shut up Oolong, don't associate Krillin with you and Bulma." Roshi scolded sarcastically, both Oolong and Roshi cracked up laughing hysterically for whatever reason.
Eighteen finally tracked down the island, she stayed afloat not sure what she would say if she landed. 'Would it be a sign of weakness for me to ask for help from him? Has he helped me enough, would he be willing to continue helping?' Eighteen thought. She finally decided to land, she realized there were no other options and she needed help to live a "regular" human life somehow. Eighteen knocked on the door of Roshi's house, surprising everyone. "Huh are you expecting someone?" Oolong asked as he fell over face first when he heard the knocking on the door.
"No but let me see who it is." Roshi said followed by a "COMING" to signal that he is getting the door. Krillin uninterested didn't turn his head to see who it was until he heard everyone's surprised gasp.
"OHHHH PLEASE DON'T HURT ME" Oolong screamed covering his head while curling up
"I didn't mean anything I said, I'm serious!" Oolong continued blabbering.
Eighteen ignored Oolong, not even knowing what on Earth he was talking about. "Oh…uhh…hey" Krillin managed to say before blushing and looking away. Eighteen once again ignored the formal introductions and went straight to her point. "Do you have any jobs that I can do, easy hours and good amount of zenies that can supply me with good amount of clothes and a nice house." Eighteen asked, with an emphasis on "good" and "nice."
"Well…I…uh…you can work…around here." Krillin stammered.
"We don't really need money here, we just fish or hunt for food and live off that." Roshi said laughing.
Eighteen eyed at the TV that was on and wondered how in the world that these people can afford electronics if they don't work. Krillin noticing her eyes realized what she was wondering about and answered her question without Eighteen even needing to ask. "Well Oolong and I work and we pay the bills together if you want I can find you a job." Krillin said. "You know I work as a martial artist trainer, I can ask my boss if he can hire another martial artist."
Eighteen shrugged and gave an uninterested look, she wasn't really intrigued by the idea of actually trying to get zenies, however she didn't completely scratched the idea. "I'll think about, I'll return tomorrow to see if you have anything new to tell me." Eighteen said before flying off.
Eighteen returned to Seventeen's cabin, she found a new shiny red hover car but looked more like a race car than a conventional vehicle that one would use for a regular life. Eighteen walked past the car just to find Seventeen looking at her with a smile. "Like my new ride sis?" Seventeen asked excitedly. Eighteen shrugged and asked how did Seventeen managed to afford a car like that.
"Oh, I'm a bounty hunter now." Seventeen said smiling. "The fights can't afford anything I want so I took up some jobs hunting down criminals, it's easy cash and fun at the same time. Trill of the hunt ya know?" Seventeen continued. 'He seems proud he made something of his life…I still don't know what to do yet…' Eighteen thought and sighed. Seventeen noticed her sister disappointed face and immediately asked what was wrong.
"Oh you know Seventeen, I just don't know what to do with myself yet. You seem to find a job you like and it also supports your life style as well." Eighteen replied in a sad tone.
"I can take care of both of us, but if you really like to find a purpose in life; you know we can just travel around. Not like we need anything we can't 'just take'" Seventeen said smiling. Eighteen ignored what her brother was insinuating and walked up to her room, she thought that there must be more fun in life than just hanging around in a forest watching her brother shoot animals.
