Subject: Training on my trip.

I still staring out the window, several hours later. I
shake my head. "Huh? I must've been in a trance. Space sure
is fascinating. I wonder how much time has passed by?" I
click on the dragon radar and look at the mini clock in the
corner of the screen. My eyes widen. "WOW! That was some
trance! 12 hours have passed by since I left Earth! I need
to quit wasting time and get to work!" I click on the high
powered radio and flip through the stations. Mostly just
junk. Ironically, on the last station I flip to, the song
"Space Cowboy" is playing. Laughing to myself, I leave the
radio on and go through my routine stretches. Though the
gravity in the ship is the same as Earth's, it feels
different somehow. "Heh. Probably because I'm surrounded by
endless light-years of space." Laughing again, I head over
the weight bench I had put in here by that mechanic. I have
almost 4,000 pounds worth of weights lying around (I can't
lift that much, but if I ever do...) I slap on 300 pounds
on each side of the bar, and push it up about 100 times. I
put the bar back on the rack. I sweating heavily. I go to
the sink in the storage room of the ship and splash some
water on my face. I go back to the bench and decide to see
if I can set a new max on my bench press. I add 200 more
pounds to each side (for a total of 500 on each side) and
get back under the bar. I take the bar off the rack but I
don't think I can push it up if I bring it down. I hold the
bar in the air as I try to pump myself up. I slowly bring
the bar down. I then try to push it up. I raise it a
little, but it's too much. The heavy bar is about to crush
me! "No!" I yell and my blue aura blazes as I push the
heavy bar back on the rack. I get up with a start. "Damn! I
could've killed myself! Piccolo you idiot!" I slap myself
in the head and gradually calm. I decide to head over to
my mats and practice my balance. I try holding up my whole
body on each of my fingers for 15 minutes each. With the
weighted gear on, this is extremely hard. However, I
manage. After the tenth finger, I collapse on the mat. "Boy
that was tough! I think I've finally perfected balance
though (that is, until I do it in higher levels of
gravity)," I say to myself. I go over to my punching bag
and start throwing random kicks and punches at him. I
decide to take it to the next level and begin charging up.
Piccolo: ::charges::
Piccolo: ::charges::
Piccolo: ::charges::
Piccolo: ::charges::
I then release an insanely fast flurry of punches and kicks
at the bag. I think I'm averaging about 100 attacks per
minute once I charge up. "Not bad. I'm getting a lot
stronger. I go over to the ship's radar screen. All right!
Namek is only a few more hour away! The dragon balls will
be mine sooner than I thought. "Ha! Better watch out
Radditz! Your days are numbered!" I chuckle to myself, and
I go over to tend to my mini senzu garden. "A few more
hours... I can't wait!"
