Sorry it's taken me so long to update, guys! I've hit some major writer's block . . . . :(
"Oolong!!! Can't this stupid van go any faster!?!?" Bulma shouted into his ear.
"I've got it to the floor already!!! Don't you have anything that will go faster?!"
"I would, but that gorgeous thief took off with my Dino-caps!!!" She shouted as she thought
of the Desert Bandit and of how confused she was about him.
"And our Dragonballs!"
"Whose Dragonballs?!?! You baka pig!!!" She screamed as she began to beat upon his head.
"Ouch!!! Bulma!!! Stop, we're gonna wreck again!!!"
"We'd better not! If I don't find my little sister, my parents are gonna murder me. And
besides, if I know her, she's got the Dragonballs back from Yamcha," Bulma smiled confidently.
"Rina, why do you stink?" Goku asked as the car sped through the woods.
"Well, Goku, I had to rescue Little Miss Princess from Yamcha," she motioned to Chi-Chi in
the back.
"Who are you?" Goku turned around and smiled.
"I'm Chi-Chi," she sang to him. He was so cute, she thought. Much cuter than Yamcha, younger,
and safer to boot! She thought.
"Chi-Chi, hmm, you must be the Ox-King's daughter!"
"Yep, she's the one and only," Rina replied sarcastically.
"Yeah, and that girl threatened to beat me up if I didn't change clothes with her!!!" Chi-Chi
pouted to Goku. Goku scratched his head, then laughed.
"You look funny in that outfit, Rina!"
"Goku, it's not the time or the place for this," she seethed. She was so embarrassed to be
wearing this ridiculous outfit in front of Goku. He seemed to think it was the funniest thing
in the world.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Chi-Chi asked as she sat up in her seat. "She was going to
kill me!!!"
"I thought you said she threatened to beat you up?" Goku asked.
"Yeah, Chi-Chi, you had said I threatened to beat you up. My, Pinnochio, don't let your nose
grow too long!" Rina laughed.
"Who's Pinnochio?" Goku asked.
"Never mind, Goku," Rina said as she sighed.
Meanwhile, about twenty miles from Goku and Rina . . .
"Yamcha, I think we've lost them!" Puar said as the motorbike sped almost out of control.
"I will not give up, Puar. I must have those Dragonballs, and when I get my hands on the
monkey boy and the purple-haired girl . . ." He trailed off.
"So, Papa sent the two of you to find me?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Uh-huh," Goku answered. The little Princess began to stare dreamily at the little boy. She
thought he was the cutest boy she'd ever seen.
"Yamcha must have been hiding somewhere on Fire Mountain when the Ox-King was telling us about
you. But, it still doesn't explain where he got all those Dragonballs," Rina pondered.
"He must have met up with Bulma and Oolong. You said he had Bulma's bag," Goku stated.
"I hope she's okay. I don't think Yamcha would hurt her."
"She's fine, Rina. You know Bulma."
"I don't Bulma or this Oolong!! Who are you talking about?!" Chi-Chi yelled.
"Bulma is my sister, the one Yamcha's in love with. And Oolong's a shape-shifting pig," Rina
explained.
Goku then began to explain how he met Bulma and Rina and the quest they were all on-- to find
the Dragonballs. He told Chi-Chi of how his Grandpa Gohan had left him a Dragonball when he
died. Bulma, when she and Rina showed up at his house, told him that when all seven
Dragonballs are brought together; a wish is granted. Bulma wanted to wish for a boyfriend and
needed Goku's Dragonball.
"Wow! But if she needs a boyfriend, why doesn't she just ask Yamcha?" Chi-Chi asked.
"He's afraid of her," Rina explained.
"If she's anything like you . . ." Chi-Chi laughed. Rina steered the car so that a branch
hit Chi-Chi in the face.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Rina smirked as she looked in the rearview mirror, admiring
her work as Chi-Chi's face was red from where the branch had smacked her hard.
In Oolong's van . . .
"The Dragon Bleeper says that the Dragonballs are over in sector nine of quadrant three. Rina
has to have them. They're heading toward where the Ox-King said that Master Roshi guy lived,"
Bulma stated.
"Well, I guess that's where we're headed," he sighed as he made a sharp right and caused Bulma
to fall out of her seat. She landed right on Oolong with his face buried in her bosom. He
was in Hog Heaven (no pun intended). Just as he was beginning to shake his face, Bulma slapped
him into next week. Meanwhile, as all this was going on, the van sped out of control and hit a
tree head-on.
Rina, realizing that the car was about out of gas, announced to the group that they'd be making
a quick pit stop. She found on a map, a gas station not too far from where they were heading.
As the group stretched their legs, Chi-Chi motioned for Goku to come over away from Rina.
"What's up, Chi-Chi?" Goku asked. Chi-Chi really wanted to know what the deal was with him
and Rina, but she didn't want to seem to pushy or seem jealous. 'Boy, would Rina just love
that! I have to be careful.'
"Goku, do you like Rina?"
"Yeah, she's great!" He beamed at her. This made Chi-Chi fume.
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"What's a girlfriend?"
"You mean you don't know what a girlfriend is?" Could he be for real? Did he really not know
what a girlfriend was?
"No, do you?"
"Yes!!!" Chi-Chi thought that maybe he was mocking her, but he didn't seem the type to mock
someone. He probably wouldn't even know what that meant!
"Come on, guys. Car's all gassed up," Rina walked over to Goku and Chi-Chi.
"Rina, are you Goku's girlfriend?" Chi-Chi asked.
"No way!!!! Goku and I are just friends-- best friends!!!" She smiled at him.
"Yeah!!! Best friends!!!"
"Would you be my boyfriend, Goku?" Goku looked over at Rina who shook her head, 'No."
"What's a boyfriend?" He scratched his head as he looked at Rina.
"It's something you're not ready to be," Rina said as she pulled down her lower eyelid with
her finger and stuck her tongue out at Chi-Chi. "Now, let's go," she smiled as she took Goku
by the hand led him away from Chi-Chi.
"Oolong! You're such a baka!!! Now what are we going to do?!!!" Bulma shouted as she threw
pieces of the van at the dancing pig.
"Listen, sister-- this is all your fault!" He screamed before shape-shifting into a bat,
swatting the debris Bulma was throwing at him.
"My fault?!!? Yeah, like I told you to stick your head in my boobs!! I don't even know why I
let you come along! All you've done is cause more trouble than you're worth!!!" She exclaimed
as she took the hand that was extended to her. "Thanks!"
She was brought to her feet and suddenly realized that it couldn't have been Oolong who helped
her to her feet. She peered into a pair of onyx eyes that were filled with fear. "Bulma," he
said softly.
"Yamcha?!" She gasped.
"Oolong!!! Can't this stupid van go any faster!?!?" Bulma shouted into his ear.
"I've got it to the floor already!!! Don't you have anything that will go faster?!"
"I would, but that gorgeous thief took off with my Dino-caps!!!" She shouted as she thought
