Kame House was far livelier than it had ever been. Men and women alike were gracing the small island with their presence, even though unlike the owner these visitors were young. For the Hermit of the house, the company could be a bother but the young ladies made it welcomed. Though for one of the newest disciples of the old martial artist, Krillin, found himself very distracted during his training.
“What top should I wear today…?” That fluffy blue hair. “Maybe a simple dress?” That cute red ribbon in her hair keeping it in place. Launch had only recently come to the island. Though already she proved to be, helpful in many different ways. Helping with cooking and cleaning she was an asset. She was known to have a bit of a temper at times, at least when she sneezed. Better to say rather that she would change completely as a person. Krillin was not focused on such things. He was a young growing boy on an island with men. Launch was the girl of the island, young, pretty, maybe a bit absent-minded. Krillin could not help but stare at her! Even now the girl openly starts taking off different clothing before Krillin on the beach without a second thought. “Huh…?” till she sees Krillin’s prying eyes that is. “What are you staring at little man?”
The beady eyes, the bald head, the small body. Krillin was young sure but he just looked like a little pervert, he could only worry Launch saw him as such. “U-Um.” His words putter off his lips nervously trying to think of a clever and well-thought-out excuse to get him away from trouble less the other Launch shoot at him. “I was just admiring your hair! It’s so fluffy looking! Ahahaha! Yeah, y-your hair! The Monks never let me grow mine but now it never seems to grow even when I try!”
Launch frowns at the little man's words. Krillin’s head was clearly void of hair that was for sure. “Aw… I never thought it upset you like that. I thought you liked it like that.” Launch sighs letting her arms fall a little. “I guess I should get changed inside shouldn’t I?” Krillin now is the one frowning. Though in his case he had some relief in knowing he would not be blasted with machine guns. “If I can ever help you with growing hair Krillin, I’ll make sure you can have hair just like mine hehe.”
Launch skips away blissfully like always, leaving Krillin to wipe his brow of sweat. “Hair? Really hair? That was the best I could come up with?” Krillin grabs at his face and sighs. “I should have just said I was envious of her nose. That would’ve been more believable.”
Day’s pass
Kame House had no one in it besides Launch for once. As the days went on more training came up, other events came up as well. Bulma for example decided to leave an important bag at Kame House, while the others went off to try and stop another foe yet again. Though Bulma kept Launch company for a time, it did not take long for Bulma to get pulled away by her friends. “Finally, by myself.” The blue-haired Launch sighs to herself, but rather than let the loneliness get the better of her she thrusts her fist up and looks over the house. “I’ll fight in my own way too! This place needs cleaning! Those boys always are far too energetic, they never properly tidy up.” Equipped with a dress and apron Launch goes into her naturally caring mode and begins to clean up around the house. Like a housewife of the house she dusts, sweeps throws old clothes into bags so she can clean even those later. Now and again she does raise an eyebrow at some of the magazines she would find, but even with a powerful sneeze almost filling her nose, she can keep control.
Clatter
What Launch had not been expecting was to see a pair of orange almost glass balls roll out of a padded bag onto the ground. It seemed to be Bulma’s bag, the one she had left behind and said to keep safe. “Oh… these ball things.” Launch picks up the bag and watches another pair slip on out.
“Wow! There’s seven of them? I could probably make a necklace out of one of them.” Squatting down Launch picks the balls up and starts putting them back into Bulma’s pink bag. “Didn’t they make some lizard thing come from these though?” Placing all seven of the balls back together Launch notices the balls shine a soft light from within the bag. Her eyes can only brighten in glee at the sight. “Oh my gosh! That’s right these grant wishes don’t they! Hehe, what would someone like me wish for?” Squeezing the bag to her chest Launch begins to pace back and forth through Kame House’s living room. “Maybe I would wish for some more cooking tools? Master Roshi really doesn’t have a whole lot. I could feed them all a lot better with some more utensils.” Looking back down at the balls Launch nods to herself a few times thinking over the proper answer. “What to wish for… well, it would be rude to get something for myself. I should wish for something that would help someone else.”
DING
The kitchen’s timer goes off, but it strikes a lightbulb in Launch’s head. “Oh! Krillin! I could help Krillin get what he wanted hehe. I wonder how I use these? I’ve seen them bring out the lizard before.” Launch throws the bag over her shoulder and turns off the stove burners she was using. Taking one of the balls from the bag she whispers to it softly. “Mr. Lizard? Could you please come out and grant the wish I have? I promise it isn’t a bad wish.”
The balls do not so much as even glow. Launch had everything she needed to make a wish but no knowledge on how to get the lizard out. Sadly for her, the only person that would be back soon was Krillin, unlike Goku all Krillin was doing was buying some more food supplies for the house. The outdoor markets on the island city a decent distance off were luckily pretty cheap.
“Oh!” Launch puts the ball back in the bag again and walks outside. “They always brought out the lizard outside! It was pretty big, wasn’t it? If I ask it to come out inside of course they’d get shy. They don’t wanna hit their head.” Tugging the bag off her shoulder Launch this time lets all the balls slip out and cluster together on the sandy beach. Once again they give a bit of a glow and Launch smiles. “Yay, they really were feeling too cramped inside! Now, what else did they do? I’ve heard them say something before to bring you out.” Rubbing at her chin, playing with the side of her apron, Launch fidgets and thinks. “Shenny? Shenni lang?” A purse in her lip Launch sighs putting her hands on her hips. “I can figure it out! Shen was definitely part of it. Shen length come on out! Shen roar come! I have a wish Shen lung!” The balls do not even stir. They do not even glow like they had been moments before. “Oh come on… I was sure it was Shen something. Wasn’t it long?” Frowning Launch crosses her arms under her chest, but some gears were still turning in her head. “I sometimes mess up my R’s and L’s… Shenron?”
Glow
The balls glow once again as soon as Launch says the words. Her answer was found, and without a second thought, she smiles and claps her hands. “I got it right, I got it right! Come out Shenron and grant my wish!”
BOOM
Like an explosion of air light erupts from the balls and out from it a long lizard-like serpent appears. The clouds darken, and some lightning even scatters over the sky. “YOU WHO HAVE SUMMONED ME STATE YOUR WISH. YOU MAY HAVE ONLY ONE.” The lizard speaks, its red eyes glaring down at Launch. Though looking at the smiling girl still clapping mindlessly the lizard cannot help but sigh.
The wish had already been decided in Launch’s head. “Okay, Mr. Lizard. I wish Krillin could have hair like mine! Hehe, that way he won’t have to keep feeling so sad about not having any.”
The so-called lizard’s eyes glow bright red and its voice groans out. “YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED, FARWELL.” With another ray of blinding light, the lizard sucks back into the balls and the balls then begin to lift into the air. With another flash, the balls scatter clearing the skies overhead instantly.
Content with her choice Launch smiles happily and starts walking back into Kame House. “I bet Krillin is probably thanking the heavens right now! Hehe, he’ll be so happy.”
Meanwhile across the water
Krillin had been shopping for the usual supplies, bags of rice for one example. Having Goku at Kame House made the food supply dry up rather quickly. Bulma at the very least was willing to help pay for some food now and again, so Krillin actually had the Zeni to splurge on some food items compared to usual. “Alright, when I get done buying everything Goku should have taken care of the Ox King’s problem. Heh, I’ll have him help carry everything on Nimbus.” Krillin’s plans sounded well and good, though much to his dismay the skies were darkening, in his mind it seemed like it would probably rain. “Oh great… we need the supplies, but I hope they don’t get too sog—”
BOOM
Krillin blinks to herself. She was just hit by something but felt no pain. “What in—” Krillin’s voice sounded different. Blinking a few times, she begins to notice she was taller too, a lot taller than normal. “This…” Smacking her cheeks they feel smooth. Breasts on her chest pressing against a shirt, pants clinging against thighs. Blue hair, a stream of fluffy blue hair waving at her sides. “No way…” The voice was Launch’s, the body Launch’s. Krillin brushes her fingers through the fluffy wavy hair and is stopped by a red ribbon. The same kind that Launch always has in her hair. “I… What the heck is all this?!” Krillin snorts through her nose and grabs at her shirt looking down the front of it. Sure enough, a black bra was under, her nose fumes cheeks turning red. “Heh-hehe. I’m Launch? I have Launch’s body? What the heck happened… s-she’s so mature…”
People passing by whisper seeing what appeared to be a perverted girl ogling herself in public. “Some people. — Steer clear of them. — See Sally, don’t be like that.” The comments were varying; Krillin was drawing the eyes she did not want.
Feeling some sense of shame she walks off the main road and starts heading to the edge of the city. “Okay… okay, come on Krillin, you’re getting too excited. Hmph… this all poses a new problem.” Krillin sighs slowly again hearing her words come out in Launch’s voice felt strange, almost like it felt wrong like she should speak in easier terms. “For right now, I need to get back home… I don’t think Goku would carry me like this. I need to figure out some way to get back myself.”
With little other option to reach Kame House quickly, Krillin decides it best to just buy a hoverbike capsule with the extra money Bulma had been so kind to give them. Goku’s eating habits aside what was more important right now was getting things back to normal. Skirting over the water, flying to that small island. Krillin could see it in view after a few hours had passed. The travel was not as quick as she was hoping but it could have taken a lot longer using a normal boat.
POOF
The capsule vanishes away and Krillin lands safely on the sandy ground surrounding the island. “Finally back… I have to, the Dragon Balls could solve this!” Running through Kame house’s door Kirllin swings it open and stares Launch stretching out her legs in the center of the living room. “What the heck this is!?” Launch is wearing what Krillin wanted to call some sort of traveling gear, though it seemed to barely be covering any of her body. A small green strappy sleeveless top, a pair of yellowish booty shorts, red fingerless gloves, and a pair of sneakers. “Launch? What are you doing? — No, no! Where are the Dragon Balls?! The ones Bulma left here!”
Launch was dumbfounded even more than usual. “What… we like. We look the same! Oh my goodness, could it be you’re my long lost sister? Those clothes are pretty cute too if I say so myself… style-wise. Yes, maybe you could be my sister. I never knew I had a—”
Krillin’s eyes twitch and she stomps her foot down sternly. “No, no, no! I’m not your sister Launch! It’s me, Krillin!” Krillin points at himself trying her best to stress the point. “I. Am. Krillin.”
The blue hair girl’s eyes blink slowly. Launch was never the smartest person so trying to sort the facts out in her mind took her a good few moments to process. “Krillin… you’re Krillin… But you look like me.”
Grabbing hold of Launch’s shoulders Krillin gives the girl a good shake. “Yes, Krillin. Where are the Dragon Balls? They should have been in Bulma’s bag, the pink one or something.”
Tapping her fist against her palm Launch confidently nods. “Oh! I get it now! Yeah, I used those lizard balls. They shot up straight into the air and shot out everywhere making the sky all nice again.”
All of the dots were connecting in Krillin’s mind. Though she did not exactly want to confirm at this point. Hesitantly she closes her eyes for a few moments and asks carefully. “You… what did you exactly wish for Launch?”
Giggling into her hand Launch steps away from Krillin and brushes her hand through her hair. “Well. I remember how you kept staring at me lately. How you said you wanted hair like mine. So, I told Shenthong to give you hair just like mine.” Excitedly Launch jumps up in place looking over Krillin’s new body. “But look, you became just like me now, isn’t that exciting?! We could wear matching outfits when we go out shopping. We could have plenty of cute looks even while out exploring.”
Krillin was not sure if she should be crying now or shrugging her shoulders. Assuming the worse does not happen Krillin is going to be stuck looking just like Launch for at least one year. The Dragon Balls needed time to recharge whenever they were used. Even if she gathered them now, they would just be stone till their power came back. “I… ugh. What do I even do now?”
Squeeze
Krillin is nabbed before she even has time to react. Launch pulls her away over to her small wardrobe area, or at least the place she made for herself to get dressed. “Don’t be so grumpy about all this. You can have some real fun now, can’t you? Here I have just the thing so we can match. I’m glad I made sure to buy extras.” Launch rather aggressively disrobes Krillin of all her clothing. Krillin could barely believe how eager Launch was about the whole situation. She seemed far too excited as her hands rip her would-be twins pants and shirt off. “Oh, this is going to be so much fun Krillin! I’ve always wanted a sister I could talk to and match outfits with hehehe.”
Krillin does her best to struggle against Launch but her strength was failing her, she was no longer a warrior and knew how to use her body even less than Launch did. “H-Hey! Wait! Wait a second! Dressing me up isn’t going to fix anything! Come on Launch cut me a break here!”
Tug, pull, slide, slip
Launch does not bat an eye at Krillin’s plight. When setting her mind to something she followed through. Panties are tugged up Krillin’s smooth slightly toned legs. The waistband snaps against her waist and Launch cannot help but giggle at the process. “You really are like my doll right now hehe this is so much fun~!” Krillin’s struggles just seemed like playful nudges in Launch’s eyes. Her doll was fidgeting a bit but it would not stop her. Pulling a bra against Krillin’s new breasts Launch snaps the back clasping the bra on nicely in place. “This should be fine for now, the top works fine with it.” Sliding a green sleeveless tanktop over Krillin’s head, it was clear the clothing was matching up with Launch’s current outfit well. The little midriff top though felt so exposed to Krillin. Her skin was so smooth and the top felt tight against her like it was acting as a second bra. The straps were over her shoulders firmly but not enough to dig in at least. “Don’t worry just a few more things and you’ll be all set!” Launch then slips on a pair of yellow booty shorts up Krillin’s legs. The positioning to do so was a little embarrassing since Launch had to pull Krillin back against her breasts. Launch’s hands sliding against the side of Krillin’s thighs did the new girl no good service either. A red belt clasps on, the shorts in place, and Launch giggles happily pushing Krillin off her now to get at the twin's feet. “We can’t forget shoes, so just keep still, okay? These should fit fine; they’ll be great for our trip.”
“Trip?!” Krillin gasps out her words her elbow pressing against the floor as she stares up at Launch looking at a pair of red sneakers. “What are you talking about? The dragon balls won’t be ready for a year! There’s no reason to go anywhere… I think I rather just be left alone. I haven’t even had time to get used to all of this.”
Tilting her head a bit confused Launch shrugs and grabs hold of Krillin’s right foot. “I think some fresh air would do you good. You seem upset, so going out and about always helps me clear my head.” She giggles again to herself pulling some socks on Krillin’s feet, even adds a pair of loose green ankle warmers used more for style in this case. She gets left and right foot ready and then puts the red sneakers on each respectively. “There I think you— Oh!” Jolting up Launch pulls at Krillin’s wrists and helps the girl to her feet. “I forgot the gloves! Hehe, and here I am wearing them myself. You need some of your own.” Krillin sighs but this time just holds her hands out. “Mhm, mhm, I had them… here they are!” Grabbing the pair of, now warm, gloves she had been sitting on Launch slips the fingerless gloves onto Krillin’s hands. These too were red. “There now we’re a perfect match Krillin, don’t we look adorable like this?”
Sighing for probably too long Krillin slowly walks over to the door. “Lets… let’s just get out of here alright? Where did you want to go Launch?”
A little surprised but still excited Launch runs over to Krillin and grabs her wrist. “Oh good, you will come then!” Pushing out the door Launch tosses out a motorcycle capsule, making it pop on open before them. “We can ride together! The mountains not too far from here sometimes have these lovely flower beds. Though it is close to the desert so dressing cool like this is important.” Launch walks right over to her hovering motorcycle and taps the back of it, plenty of room left for Krillin. “Let’s go then, you never had hair before so feeling the wind through your hair… you can finally experience it yourself!”
Krillin looks down at her now rather exposed legs. The shorts felt tight against her and only really served to accent her butt. Normally Krillin would enjoy looking at a girl in clothes like these, but right now she was the girl. “At least I can keep avoiding Goku… I should probably go out of my way to avoid a pervert like Master Roshi though right? Maybe this isn’t a bad idea. If I’m gonna be stuck like this for a year anyway…” Krillin carefully gets on the back of the motorcycle and blushes as Launch guides her hands around her waist. “R-right… guess better to stick close.”
Opening a small compartment at the front of the bike Launch takes out a pair of goggles and puts them on over her eyes. “Yup! Now hold on alright!” Revving the engine Launch stands up a bit like one would peddling a bicycle and she guns the gas peddle making the two of them push dust into the air and ripple the water as they blast off across the sea.
A few hours later
The trip did take a bit of time but Launch found a relatively safe spot in the mountains to hop off the bike and recaspule it. Now the two had been hiking between mountains and trails watching some of the rather tall mountains have different dinosaurs fly from them watching for prey. “Ah something about wandering through nature is just wonderful isn’t it Krillin? It has so many charms and wonders.”
“I don’t know…” Krillin puts her hands together looking down at the rocky surface she walks. “These mountains could still have some dinosaurs, even along these roads. I guess it’s nice to see something else besides the water for a bit. But I think this is one extreme to the other right?”
Giggling Launch waves off the comment and thrusts her pointer finger out. “Look Krillin see!” Off in the distance, there is just one single wildflower growing out of the rocks. The yellow color made it look more like a weed though. “Isn’t it pretty? Let's go take a closer look! This nature walk is sure to make you feel better!”
Normally Krillin would refuse. Right now they were in the middle of the mountains. If they did not have dusty dirt blowing in their faces or sand from the dunes not far away. They had dinosaurs eyeing them from all angles. Everything about this trip seemed like the worse idea, and now Launch wanted to look at a single flower, where she had spoken of flower beds before. “Fine… lets go have a look.” Yet despite the thoughts running in Krillin’s head, she agrees anyway. It felt odd to agree, but she would need to kill time anyway, right? What was the worse that could happen? Nothing had happened so far so it was probably fine.
Two days later
The girls were having a decent time somehow. Krillin was surprised herself. Though it did help that Bulma gave Launch a capsule case. Camping out under the stars with comforts nearby was helpful. Food and water were no issue. Though launch seemed to enjoy roughing it which Krillin was a bit surprised by. Without sneezing to transform the blue-haired Launch could still take care of herself pretty well, even if her mind wandered. Now the two currently were walking toward a small little village. It looked like it was comprised of eight buildings but it had a few people passing through. “Look Launch. We can refill on a few things at that saloon.” Krillin was a little eager to see some other people. She had been with Launch only for some time now. It felt a little odd to her too, like spending more time with just Launch may not be the best idea. “What do you think?”
“But look at that flower!” Thrusting her pointer finger forward Launch points to a flower sticking a bit out of the dirt. Krillin could only blink mindlessly at the thing. The area… seemed like the one they had gone to just the other day. “I think I’ll go take a closer look at it. Here, take my bag, you can get stuff if we need it.”
Launch tosses a bag at Krillin and she clenches it to her chest. “Wait… we didn’t just go in a circle did we?” Krillin carefully looks back down the road and forward. Then off toward the little village. “We landed ahead of here… so I didn’t notice? We couldn’t have just walked a complete circle right?”
Launch shrugs her shoulders and focuses now on a small flower on the outskirts of the village's gate. “Oh this one looks lovely too doesn’t it? Aaah, Krillin you can get what we need and we can head back if you like.”
Sighing through her teeth Krillin did not want to ramble about such things. “Alright, I’ll just refill our water capsules then.” With bag in hand, Krillin walks on over to the saloon and pushes open the doors.
It was just about as cliché as possible Krillin thought. All sorts of guys that looked like thugs and a few women acting as waiters. She did notice a few motorbikes were outside the saloon, even if the population was not high for the village it seemed people passed by often enough, or maybe it was some hangout spot. “Is there anywhere I can fill up some water capsules?” Krillin wanted to ask bluntly but it sounded far more polite than she hoped. A few of the burly men snicker at each other. Some furry, some human, a few looked like part of some gang or just obvious bandits. The bartender cared not how one asked. He slings a towel over his shoulder and beckons Krillin to him. “Oh good seems they have something.”
Walking on over to the bartender he gives a sly smirk while cleaning a glass. “Howdy toots. Don’t see too many pretty faces round these parts. Tell ya, one like you should be mindful of the folk around here.”
Krillin sighs softly giving another glance over them. She wanted to state the obvious how they just looked like thugs but something else came from her lips instead. “Don’t worry I make sure to shower regularly. I won’t be as smelly as them.”
The barkeep clasps a hand over his mouth trying not to burst out laughing. “Pfft- y-yeah. Sure… ahaha, the refill station is over their lady. Hah, ah, Zeni slot is on the side of it, we just got it installed recently with all the traffic lately.”
Krillin carries the bag over to the machine and stares at it. It felt somehow intimating. Usually, Krilliin would just carry massive jugs of water, refilling a capsule should not come as hard. Yet reaching toward it she was unsure where to even put the Zeni. There had to be some sort of slot, Krillin could see the center tube where you would place your capsule once paid. “Why… why do I feel like I’m having trouble with this?”
SLAM
Launch now walks in through the saloon doors a smile on her face as she sees Krillin. “There you are~! You’ve been taking a long time, I thought I should check on you!” Launch walks past the tables getting some glances and smirks. It seemed not many were used to seeing twins. “What’s taking you so long?” Launch leans herself into Krillin’s back looking over her shoulder at the capsule machine. Seeing Krilliin’s shaky hand and a fist full of Zeni the situation was simple. “Ooooh, you’re having trouble with the machine? Hehe, I did for a while too. But don’t worry Krillin I’ll help you.” Krillin suddenly cannot help but blush as Launch presses her breasts into her twin's back more, her palm resting atop her twins’ hand. “See you press this little cute button and the slot comes up!” Launch presses Krilliin’s finger against the button on the side of the machine and the slit opens in front. “Then we insert the Zeni.”
With more help than she wanted to have Krillin finishes inserting the money and the capsule slot opens. Pushing the capsule in place it goes through the refilling process in just a few seconds and then Krilliin places it back into her capsule case and sticks it back in her backpack. “Th-thanks…” The humiliation she felt was another story. Successful with the capsule was nice, but in front of a saloon full of people she needed help just figuring out how to insert some coins into the machine. “Well we have everything so how about we get out of here!” Launch agrees, but Krillin still notices the people that were snickering under their breath. Was looking like Launch doing something to him? Krillin rubs at the side of her ear thinking of the times she had snickered at Launch herself. When she wasn’t in her blonde hair mode, she was sweet but seemed to lack some common sense.
“Krillin?” Launch tugs at her arm some concern in her eyes. “You wanted to get back home right? Is your head getting cloudy? Mine can get like that too, but we should start the trip back now. We’ll have dinner to make.” Tossing out her motorbike capsule Launch straddles over it and pats the back of the seat. “Come on then. Let’s get back home now alright?”
Hours later
Since they were not wandering now, it only takes a few hours to get back to Kame house. To Krillin’s delight, it seemed Master Roshi and Goku were both gone again, probably doing more training. “Hah... I should probably be training too.”
Launch steps off the Motorbike and helps Krilliin to her own feet. “Oh don’t worry about the boys. We have our own training we can do. I’m sure they came around since we left too.” Launch closes up her bike's capsule and heads on inside swinging the door open. “Oh! I knew it, hehe, that boy certainly can eat.” Inside Kame house, the small kitchen was stacked full of bowls. The ones that were not licked clean had a few crumbs of rice here and there. Old fish bones were also flung around. The home itself was a bit of a mess. “I suppose we better get to work then huh?”
Grimacing at the place Krillin could not help but feel the so-called turtle hermit really sucked at keeping things neat. Of course, Goku was also a slob and Krillin knew that part well enough. “You…” Sighing through her teeth Krillin sheepishly picks up one of the chewed fish bones and tosses it into the trash bin. “You really want me to help with all of this? I don’t think I’ve seen the place this messy in a while.”
Launch scoffs and nods happily. Despite the mess, she was already getting out different cooking tools. “I’m going to start dinner. And you can help with the dishes first alright? There is quite a pile from those boys. So, you come on over, hehe, unless, do you need help with it? I can teach you how to if you need me to.”
Something about the teasing comment bothered Krillin. Sure Launch helped out around Kame place, but Krillin was a good boy. She was not exactly a boy now but she was not stupid, of course, she knew how to wash a dish. “I can wash all of these in a snap hmph.” Muttering to herself Krillin grabs a sponge and dish and starts to get to work at the dishes.
CRACK
Wincing right away Krillin feels the bowl in her hand crack, she pressed down on it too much. “Wh-what? Come on, I know what I’m doing.” Taking a breath Krillin sets the cracked bowl down and slowly picks up another dish. She knew in her mind she knew what to do. It was simple, she wasn’t some ditz like Launch. “Then again even Launch knows how to do this… it’s like I’m dumber than her right now.”
Crack
Another bowl cracks in Krillin’s hands. This time she was just frustrated but Launch places a hand on her shoulder to calm things down. “Ooooh, come on sis, I was this bad too my first time. Here. I’ll teach you. Now see… first thing. You need to turn on the water.” Launch’s smile was like a slap to the face, her hand turning on the faucet. Krillin did not even do the first basic step. “See I like to get one part of the sink filled with some nice soapy hot water~” Launch goes on to fill the sink with warm water, mix it up with soap to make it bubble. “Then I take my sponge and wash the dish off on the other side. Then rinse with cold water and we can set it to dry. Here I’ll show you.”
The last thing Krillin wanted was to be shown more steps but her body moves in front of Launch anyway, like something had commanded her to do so. Launch then presses herself against Krillin’s back. It was a bit embarrassing for Krillin but her body did not flinch, just waited. Then Launch’s hands rest atop Krillin’s own and she pushes them into the hot water along with another bowl. This time with the sponge in hand. “A-ah warm…” Krillin mutters out a few little words. She had no reason to, but for some reason she did, it was like she was going into some sort of autopilot mode. “A-and then… we scrub it on the other side.” Repeating the instructions to herself Krillin, with Launch’s guiding hands on her starts to srub the dish. With cold water on she washes away the soap suds and places the dish on the drying rack. “I-I did it!”
Launch claps happily and even gives Krillin a quick kiss on the cheek. “I just knew you could do it, Sister! Hehe, see now you can take care of all the rest while I prepare dinner! Get to it, Missy!”
Some knives clatter, pots bang, Launch was preparing dinner. Krillin though could not feel more humiliated. Her cheeks were burning red as her hand grabs at a new dish and begins to wash it. “Wh-why the heck did I need her to teach me how to do it? I knew how to didn’t I? Am I really this dumb…” Even with the worrying thought, Krillin keeps washing dish after dish. She begins to smile, even starts to hum as she scrubs at different pans when Launch finishes using them. “Hehe, I mean I guess this can be fun to do.”
The chores were finished in a timely matter. Krillin still found it a bit odd he had not seen Goku or Master Roshi about. Goku not being around was normal but Master Roshi was another story. Having dinner with just Launch in Kame house was fine but things felt a bit stiff. “Ah… I really need to keep training Launch. I just don’t feel right without it!” Jolting up from her seat Krillin pats at her upper chest. She had her head in the clouds far too long today. Zoning out and doing dishes for who knows how long. “I can’t just sit around and do chores all day. I need to be active, do something. Aaaah, who knows how far ahead Goku is getting compared to me!? It hasn’t even been that long, but how am I supposed to get stronger if I have to stay like this for a year?!”
Tilting her head slowly like a dog being asked a question Launch holds a hand at the side of her cheek. “Oh my… I mean we have been walking plenty. And we even did all of those dishes. Master Roshi told me that is plenty of training for someone like me.”
Krillin’s teeth grind, part of her was starting to want to shake Launch, she usually did not have to deal with her for so long. “You don’t get it… I wanna do more than just light activity. I wanna build myself up. Shape my body. Don’t you understand?”
To Krillin’s surprise Launch jolts up and smiles happily. “Oh! I understand now! Master Roshi also taught me plenty of things about that. He even helped get this neat cassette and workout outfit. I have some spares so we can take care of that together while the sun's still up.”
Off-putting was the word Krillin wanted to use, but currently, she could only be confused. “Wait… Launch you actually train with Master Roshi too?”
Smiling even wider Launch nods her head and grabs onto Krillin’s arm pulling her upstairs. “Yeah of course. When you and Goku would go off I didn’t just sit around! Master Roshi helped me train plenty. He seemed to not always enjoy sitting by himself. Though helping me exercise, he said his feelings were much more positive.”
Some pang of fear mixed with disgust begins to fill Krillin as the girls push on into the bedroom Launch was currently using. Krillin had to speak up in some way, even if he was following Launch without question.“I don’t know if anything Master Roshi taught you would be an exercise I wanna learn…”
Shutting the door behind herself Launch walks over to a small dresser she had set by her futon. “Don’t worry so much I can tell it’s been helping me plenty. And you want to train too, you’re going to love it. It’ll be fun to see my own twin and me in matching exercise gear!” Launch’s excitement was now getting off-putting too, Krillin was starting to feel like this was just an excuse to dress her up. Upon seeing the pink frilly hem to what was supposed to be clothes, Krillin’s fears seemed true. “Nooow, just keep still alright? You had a problem with the dishes already so I’ll help you into your gear.”
Turning around to go right out the door Krillin grabs at the handle. “Yeah, Launch, I um, actually don’t need training today. I think I’ll just go wat—”
Launch grabs at Krillin’s sides and pulls the girl's booty shorts right off. “Nonsense! I can tell for sure now you need a bit of exercise. You were right! No sister of mine will laze about. I don’t want you getting sick from that.” Trying to protest further was apparently nonsense. Launch already had Krillin’s top off now.
“W-wait what are you doing!?” Krillin did not expect Launch however to start prying her own clothes off. They stayed matching, down to the birthday suit.
Launch giggles without a care in the world watching Krillin’s blushing face. “Well we both have to get dressed remember? Don’t worry, we both look the same now Krillin, it’s not like you have anything to be embarrassed about.”
“N-No!” Krillin tries to cover her eyes, it felt like a nosebleed was coming on. “I think this is the perfect thing to be embarrassed about!”
It mattered not to Launch, she did not need to understand it. She takes little time pulling panties up Krillin’s legs, and then she slides that frilly pink and black thing up her legs. “This leotard looks perfect on you already. The fabric is snug too, it’s perfect for a workout, Master Roshi gave it his approval himself.”
Krillin could not see how the frilly parts at the straps or leg holes were practical for training at all. To Krillin, it just looked like some piece of lingerie that had maybe a slightly less see-through fabric to it. “L-Launch I really don’t think you—”
Launch of course cared not to listen as she pulls an identical one onto herself. “We just need the special leg warmers with it Krillin. Calm down, we can start our exercising in a moment.” The pair of black thigh highs go right up to the mid-thigh only leaving a little skin exposed. The pink frills at the top of the socks acted like a band to keep them in place without the need for any belt. Then just the shoes were needed. This part it seemed Launch didn’t care much about, she just puts on her normal ankle warms and red sneakers and helps Krillin into her own. “There we’re all set for our workout now!” Excitedly Launch picks up her radio and inserts a tape into it. Walking back to the door she then grabs right onto Krillin and races down the stairs. “Let’s get down there! We can work out on the beach since the sun's up.”
Launch sets her radio on the bit of grass before it touches the sand. Krillin steps down the few steps Kame's house has adjusting the straps to her outfit. Though she could easily throw it off in protest. For some reason, part of her wanted to see what this actual exercising was all about. Launch was so excited about it too, it would be rude of her just to switch back and not do it right? “Okay Launch… I guess I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. How are we going to do this?”
“Well.” Walking over to the lone reclining beach chair Launch picks up two towels and lays them both out. “We can use these to lay down on if we need them. But I told you earlier about it— This radio here. I use a tape in it. It has a great program. Just listen. I’ll help you if you struggle!” Giggling away in blissful ignorance Launch presses play on the radio and a nice subtle constant beat begins to slowly play. It did sound like cliché workout music that Krillin would hear when Master Roshi watched the tv.
“OKAY LADIES!”
The voice on the other hand was a bit loud, it had some slight elegance to it, maybe. “I want you to start today's workout with a good ol’stretch! Now stretch! Come on ladies, I wanna see those arms up! We gotta get the warm-up in before the real thing!” Krillin could barely believe what she was hearing. Was this training really just going to be some cheesy exercise program? Even if it was though, Launch holds her hands in the air and stares at Krillin waiting for her to respond in kind. Sighing, Krillin lifts her arms up. “Ooookay! Now stretch all the way to the left, as much as you can, don’t go hurting yourself! Do what you can. Now you feel that? Hold for about a second then do the same on the right! Keep those arms up! Fingers pointed to the sky!”
Launch and Krillin both begin to stretch themselves out. Of course, Krillin had her hands balled in a fist. She was not even moving very well to the side either. Launch could not let such a thing stand. “Oh come on Krillin, didn’t you hear the tape?” Krillin blinks confused. She really thought she was doing it properly; it was just like with the dishes again. Maybe a bit too much as Launch stands behind her and presses up against her back. “See they have to be pointed out, keeping them in a fist will make you too tense.” Krillin’s face starts to go red, it was different than the kitchen. Because of the smooth fabric of the clothes, things felt far too, up close and personal. Launch’s breasts brush against Krillin’s back. Her fingers run up and down Krillin’s arms trying to help guide them. “Now you just need to bend, we have the same body so you can go further than that without getting hurt. Come on now see.” Launch holds Krillin by the hip with one hand and helps push the girl at the upper arm to get a proper stretch in. “Now we just do it together like that hehe.”
The stretches were luckily simple after that. Just some basic twists, stretching out muscles to loosen up, some light knee lifts to get the heart rate up a bit. “I think I’m starting to get the hang of this!” Once again Krillin was starting to zone out. Her mind was becoming focused just on the task at hand, and going along with it despite her initial embarrassment. “I wonder what the voice will say next. Make sure to help me through it Launch!”
Radio beeping and bopping away the loud voice once again speaks, loudly. “Okay ladies this is the real thing now. You’ll be working up a sweat, but don’t exhaust yourselves! Get water when needed!” Launch having already listened to the tape before stands directly in front of Krillin now and grabs at both of her knees. To Krillin’s dismay Launch spreads the legs open smiling away happily even pushing at Krillin’s shoulders then to make her squat down. Then have Krillin’s arms slightly bend but point outward. “OKAY! We’ll start with a wide squat and do a good few of them! This is great to work out that butt ladies. Women need to focus on keeping their lower body strong and keeping their core tight. So let's get to it! Spread out your legs, hold your arms forward and lower yourself down. Keep your back straight and that butt out!” Launch nods toward Krillin and lowers herself the same way she had just shown Krillin. Butt thrusted out, back straight, knees slowly lowering. Even in the focused state, something about it makes Krillin blush a little. Her sister had a way of doing things so well. “Squat! Come on! Squat, remember you can hold the squat for a bit before going back up! Squat! This is a good way to keep your heart rate up too! Squat!”
The lady keeps saying squat sometimes saying how many had been done. Sometimes she also says some fact or advice after one. Launch seemed to be having fun doing it. Krillin was actually getting a little tired after just doing ten. Normally she would be able to do a good amount in her normal body, but her thighs were already starting to burn. “Oh wow these are actually pretty hard huh?”
Launch giggles watching Krillin struggle to keep doing more squats. Launch on the other hand was keeping a steady pace only with a little sweat on her brow. “You can do it! Just listen, you got this! We’re about to switch anyway, take your time!”
The voice does perk up within time but Krillin was not keeping pace with it for sure. Her thighs were sore and she was sweating for sure. “Great now let yourself rest a moment. Next up is a hip thrust! Keep yourself in a half squat and thrust your hips from one side to the next!”
Krillin had no idea what this exercise even was. Was it real or just something the instructor made up? Launch seeing her sister stall bumps butts with her. “Follow me this one is simple!” She half squats as instructed and sways to one side with her hips and then bumps her butt back against Krillin’s. “Hehe, see it’s fun come on, you do it too!”
The sweat made it hard for Krillin to say if her cheeks were hot from actual heat or further embarrassment. Going into her half-squat she starts moving her hips. It was pretty easy. Launch however seemed to insist on bumping butts each time, counting herself how many times they hit against each other. It was starting to feel shameful, Krillin could only be glad a perv like Master Roshi wasn’t around. “I-I think I get it! Let’s just focus on things till we get to the next part Launch!”
“EHHEEEH!” CRASH
Krillin and Launch both stop in their tracks as they hear a crash and some voice yelling within Kame house. Both silence the radio in their minds and run right over to the door seeing blood dripping under the cracks. “O-Oh no, what do you think could’ve happened?!” Launch gasps and holds her hands to her mouth taking a step back from the door. The blood was oozing out like there was a good amount of it.
Normally Krillin would be the bold one in such a situation but she jumps off the small porch and runs behind Launch’s back to hide. “N-No idea what if it’s some sort of assassin. I never even heard anyone in the house.”
Hearing such an odd fear Launch lets a bit of a giggle out into her hands, her body relaxing. “Oh come on, that wouldn’t happen all the way out here. Who would wanna kill anyone here?” With that said Launch lowers her arms and steps back up to the door swinging it open. Master Roshi is the bleeding victim to fall out. It looked like his glasses broke from his eyes bulging and the blood seemed to be coming from his nose only. “Oh my, it’s Master Roshi… you don’t think he died did he?”
It was so obvious to Krillin what had happened. Master Roshi saw the so-called training he told Launch to do, and like a pervert, he got off to it. Apparently seeing them bump butts was enough to throw him over the edge. “Launch let's just get back to training. Let's not bother with him anymore.”
Frowning Launch shakes her head and grabs one of Master Roshi’s arms. “Oh come on, he’s such a kind old man. We should let him rest back on the couch. Come on help me pull him.”
Krillin wanted nothing more than to reject but her body moves on its own right over to Master Roshi’s side. “I— Whatever let's make this quick.” Grabbing the arms together they pull him right over to the couch and lay him against it. Krillin notices right away a few VHS tapes that looked to be exercise videos were laid out. “I think… he was about to watch these but noticed us? That or he wanted us to exercise in front of him up close…”
Launch giggles and waves off the comment. “Oh come on, it’s no big deal, I’m just glad he—” From the door a nice breeze rolls in a little sand even kicking up. It makes Krillin’s nose twitch, and Launch’s too. Both of them look at each other their eyes wincing trying to hold it back. “A-ah-achoo!” Both of them sneeze at the same time and suddenly the kind slightly dimwitted Launch was an angry eye blonde staring daggers at Master Roshi. “Glad he lived so I can beat him to pulp!”
“Argh!”
Launch jumps right at Master Roshi and starts tightening her hands around the old man's neck. Master Roshi’s eyes bulge for a moment and he starts to shout gasping for some air. “C-Come on now it’s just a misunderstanding!”
Something about the display was weird to Krillin, it made her want to be angry too. Looking at the blonde locks falling over her shoulder, she had some idea why. “I… I can control myself. I’ve been on the receiving end too much.” Despite telling herself that Krillin could feel anger boiling. This old man, this perverted pig. The piece of trash right in front of her was treating her like some sort of toy. “But I never got to dish it out myself!” Jumping into the fry Krillin grabs hold of Master Roshi’s legs and throws him straight out of the door onto the sandy beach. “You perverted jerk!” Stomping out the door together with Launch they both now stare at the old man. Only now does he have a chance to stand himself up wiping away his bloody nose. “N-no I’m overreacting…” Krillin sighs slowly trying to control herself, the last thing she wanted was to be lost in another Launch mode, he was nothing like her!
SLAP
Launch’s hand slaps Krillin’s backside and she grins widely. “Come on sis! This loser needs to be taught a proper lesson, doesn’t he?!”
Master Roshi sighs dusting off the sides of his shorts. “Now young ladies I think we can all calm down.”
Something about Launch’s encouraging taunt and Master Roshi’s dumb face just served to push Krillin more to losing it. “I-I… You know what calms me down the most?” Master Roshi cocks an eye brow as he sighs at his broken pair of shades. “A good. Old…” Launch gives Krillin a knowing smile and reaches behind her back, Krillin doing the same. “MACHINE GUN!”
RATATATATA
Bullets fly across the lawn and at Master Roshi. Luckily for the old man, he was trained well in martial arts. With a twirl of his wooden staff, it is easy for him to deflect the bullets that try to shred through him. Still, he was deflecting far more than he was used to with both of them unloading their ammo. “Come on now ladies I was just enjoying the sight of two of you!”
“We’re not your dress-up dolls! We’re not anything to you!” Launch tosses out a capsule from parts unknown to once again summon her motorcycle. “Come on sis let's go rob a bank or something. This dinky island isn’t worth the trouble besides for getting away from the cops.” Launch hops onto the bike and revves the engine.
“I—” Krillin blinks a few times looking at the machine gun in hand. She never exactly hated cops. At one point she even thought of being one. “Robbing a bank?” The inner fight in her mind felt like it was growing stronger, was experiencing more about Launch causing her more changes in the head? “It sounds awesome! Come on let's blow this place already!” Krillin jumps onto the back of the bike and Launch guns the engine zooming off across the sea.
SIX YEARS LATER
The rain was coming down a bit hard as the Twenty Third World Martial Arts Tournament was about to begin. Even if many things had happened over the years the gang of strange friends surrounding one strong individual always kept in touch. A promise to meet up at this tournament and see how everyone had grown was drawing near.
The two blue-haired twins in red dresses may have been a bit unexpected though. Rosy red lips and a nice umbrella to keep the rain away. They were told to dress up nice by Master Roshi so they were happy to do so. “Well, they said Tien would probably be around here.” Launch looks out trying to see past the rain for anyone else coming along. “What do you think Lunch? Anyone, you’re excited to see?”
Lunch turns her head slowly to her sister. “Mmm, anyone certain? I mean. Goku always was so kind. He helped us plenty over the years. Hehe, I think It will be nice to see him again. I bet he got plenty taller now.” Something about Lunch’s own words made her sink a bit like she was forgetting something.
“HEEEEY!” The lighter blue hair running toward them, the two could tell it was Bulma right away. “I didn’t think I’d see you guys first. Did any of the others come yet? Hehe, I bet the rain is going to make someone like Goku get lost or something.” Lunch and Launch smile at Bulma and relax themselves a bit. Things were coming together they would see all their friends again. “Still I can’t believe what we’ve lost over the years… I wonder whatever even happened to Krillin.”
Lunch shrugs her shoulders and sighs. Something about the name was familiar. Maybe she was a bit sweet on the short boy, that was usually what she would think about. “Oh well, I wouldn’t worry about it. You all tried to revive him before but the big lizard said he wasn’t dead.”
Bulma sighs herself and stares off into the distance. “I suppose your right… he’s out there somewhere still hanging in there. I guess it’s better than seeing more die during that mess with Piccolo.”
It was all normal now. The girls could hear steps slowly approaching them. The rain was even starting to let up slowly but surely. Lunch was not as smart as her sister. She always enjoyed herself though. Cooking, cleaning, doing those silly exercises her sister insists they keep up with. It was always great fun, and they always seemed to have plenty of money too. Even if sometimes the police would chase after them looking for some criminal girl. “I wonder if some other wish will bring even more of us together, the next time we meet.”
