(We open on Pilaf, Shu, and Mai beside of Pilaf's throne.)

Pilaf: Shu! Mai! Did you bring me that Dragon Ball?

Mai: Yes, sire. Here it is.

Pilaf: The pattern of stars is different on this one. Why?

Mai: Well, there is a different number of stars on each ball, one through seven.

Pilaf: Ah, I see. Now, WHY AREN'T YOU DOLTS OUT THERE OBTAINING ANOTHER DRAGON BALL?!

Shu & Mai: Yes, sire.

(We see Shu & Mai standing next to a plane)

Shu: So, Mai, where is the Dragon Ball you heard about?

Mai: Supposedly, it's in some house in the mountains.

Shu: Who do you suppose lives there?

Mai: I don't know but we're about to find out.

(Meanwhile in the woods near Son Gohan's house, Son Gohan hears a loud sound)

Gohan: What is it? I had better get back to the house to see.

(He sees Shu & Mai step out of their plane)

Shu: Alright old man, give up the Dragon Ball!

Gohan: Dragon...what?

Mai: Alright, don't play dumb, we know you have the Dragon Ball.

Gohan: Seriously, what is it? I have no idea.

Shu: It's a small orange orb with stars in it. It's capable of granting wishes, and we want our wish granted.

(Mai looks at Shu angrily)

Shu: I said too much didn't I?

Gohan: I know what you're talking about, and you're not getting it. If it really grants wishes, you two don't seem like that could do much good with it.

Mai: Look, old man, if you don't give us the Dragon Ball, we'll have to take it by force.

(Just then, a large dinosaur appears)

(Shu & Mai look scared)

Gohan: Oh dear, another one.

(Gohan sternly kicks the dinosaur in the side, and it goes down)

(Shu & Mai look even more scared)

Shu: (Stuttering), Well...uh..yeah...i guess we had better be getting..uh...out of here.

Mai: (Also stuttering): Yes...Shu...I suppose your r-r-right.

Mai: (Climbing back into the plane) This isn't over old man!

Gohan: (Sarcastically) Goodbye!

(Back at Pilaf's castle)

Pilaf: WHAT!

Shu: We're sorry sire, he was so strong! There's nothing we could do.

Pilaf: Well, that's ok mistakes are expected every now and again.

Shu: Really, Sire?

Pilaf: NO! DO YOU THINK I WOULD LET YOU OFF EASY ONCE YOU'VE COME TO ME WITH NO DRAGON BALL!?

Mai: You would have had to see him, sire. He was so powerful. It would have been useless.

Pilaf: I will see him.

Shu & Mai: What do you mean, Sire?

Pilaf: You two have screwed up so many times, the job will never get done if i just send you. I guess it's like they say, if you want something done, then do it yourself.

(Pilaf, Shu, and Mai all pack into the plane to return to Gohan's house)

(The plane lands at Gohan's house)

(All 3 step out of the plane)

Pilaf: Alright, where is this powerful old man you two told me about.

Shu: Well, sire, it looks like he's nowhere around.

Pilaf: Watch closely you two. This is where breaking and entering comes... (dazed) in. HE LEAVES AND LEAVES THE DOOR WIDE OPEN!?

Mai: I guess you didn't need your universal key after all, sire.

Pilaf: Whatever, just come into the house. It has to be in there somewhere.

Shu: There it is! The Dragon Ball!

(Pilaf caresses the Dragon Ball)

Pilaf: Hahaha! Now my dreams of world domination are one step closer to being true!

(They all hop back in the plane)

Pilaf: Now, on toward the next Dragon Ball!

(Cut to Gohan running through the forest)

Gohan: I had better get to Old Man Roshi before they come after him. Roshi can handle them no doubt, but just in case, I had better go warn him.

(Bulma speeds in on a motorcycle, and suddenly slams the breaks when she see's that she's about to hit Gohan)

(Gohan looks up at the speeding motorcycle)

Gohan: Huh?

Bulma: Waughhh! Out of the way old man!

(She crashes her motorcycle into Gohan)

Gohan: Oh my, it seems you've damaged your car.

Bulma: (stunned) But..I hit you.
