Krillen meet Maron; The training begins

Gohan found himself face-to-face with a younger version of a bluenette that he hadn't seen since he was 6.

"Are you ok?" She asked. Yep, still an airhead.

Gohan just stared at a 16 year old Maron. He smiled a shy and nervous smile. "Would you like to help me?"

She blinked. Then she smiled. "Sure!"

Gohan looked at her. "Aren't you going to ask me what I need help with? Or even my name?"

Maron giggled. "You need help with the old man right?"

Gohan blinked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Maron then looked like she said something she shouldn't have said. "Oops! I didn't mean to let that slip! It's just that you're kinda cut so I couldn't help but over hear your guys' conversation and I wanted to help someone as cute as you and is he a pervert? If he is, how bad is he? And what about…" At this point she was rambling on about perverts and other things the demi-sayin couldn't quite catch. Then she stopped for a moment and looked at him intently. It creeped Gohan out.

"Ummm…is there something wrong?" She was leaning forward, making him lean back. He was starting to sweat. Then Maron stood back up straight with a look of understanding on her face.

Gohan looked at her confused. "What?"

She smiled airheaded-ly at him and put a hand on her cheek. "I just realized that I don't know your name!"

Gohan fell over anime style. She was even more of a airhead when she was younger!

"Gohan!"

Gohan stood up and looked around for the source of his name. It was Master Roshi, running up to them, no doubt that he had seen Maron.

"Gohan, my boy, I knew you would find me a hottie!" He looked like he was about to have a nose bleed.

Maron just smiled at Gohan, "Oh! So your name is Gohan?"

Roshi grabbed her hand and said, "You wanna come live with this lonely old man?"

Maron, for once, scowled, "You're a pervert. But I'll do it for cute little Gohan!"

Gohan sighed and followed the two as they walked out of the store.

When they got back to the island, Launch had sneezed back to her nice form and her and Maron became good friends fast. When Maron was introduced to Goku and Krillen, however, it was a different matter.

"H-hello. My name's Krillen." Said the blushing bald boy.

"Ah! You're so cute, little boy!" Maron said before talking to Launch again. Krillen sighed. Master Roshi then placed the Kame House in a capsule. Then, he took out another capsule revealing a hovercraft.

"Are we moving islands?" Gohan asked.

"Yes we are, Gohan. We more spacefor the training." Roshi said.

So, Launch, Krillin, Goku, Gohan, Maron, and Master Roshi left on the hovercraft for a larger island that would be more suitable for training.

They soon arrive at a new island and Master Roshi opened up the capsule containing the Kame House. Launch and Maron decided to head inside the house and cook while Master Roshi, Gohan, Krillin, and Goku stayed outside.

"So, Krillen, do you any have other previous training?" Roshi then asked Krillin.

"I had 8 years training from the Orin Temple." Krillin told Master Roshi. Master Roshi looked pleased and he told three trainees that he was going to evaluate their current ability by seeing how fast the boys could run in a 100m dash.

"Hey, wait." Goku said.

"Yes Goku?" Said Roshi, looking at him while Gohan and Krillen prepared for the run by the tree.

"I thought that Gohan had already trained with you. Why is he training again?"

Roshi and Gohan glanced at each other worriely. What were they to say? Luckily Krillen spoke up.

"Idiot! He wants to see how he has improved!"

"Er… Yes! That's exactly right, Krillen!" Roshi said, "Alright, now its time for the run. Krillen your first."

Krillin clocked in a time of 10.4 seconds. Goku went next and he started very fast, but then it looked like he had some trouble with his shoes. He clocked in at 11 seconds.

"Could I run again with different shoes?" Goku asked.

"Come on Goku! Stop being a sore loser! My shoes aren't made for running either!" Krillen said.

"No. I mean mine are torn." Goku happily said, wiggling his toes so they could see that it was true. Gohan smiled. His dad was silly at times.

Master Roshi agreed and Goku ran again, but now with new shoes. Goku was able to clock a time of 8 seconds. Master Roshi then handed Krillin his stopwatch and said, "I'll have a shot at it."

He then ran the 100m in 5.6 seconds. Krillin and Goku were stunned. Gohan could easliy see him but acted amazed.

"Your turn Gohan." Roshi said. Gohan nodded and ran as fast as he could. He clocked in at 7.3 seconds.

The others were shocked at how fast he could go but Gohan couldn't believe how slow he had gotten!

"Yep! That's my student for you!" Roshi said, bragging even though Gohan wasn't his student. Gohan just rolled his eyes.

"Goku, go get me a brewsky," Master Roshi then told Goku. Goku didn't understand, so Krillin went to the Kame House to get the brewsky instead.

Inside, he accidentally brought in dust which made Launch sneeze. She then chased Krillin with a butcher's knife. Master Roshi then timed Krillin doing the 100m while being chased, and found he ran at 8.8 seconds, which was much faster than before. Launch then sneezed again and in doing so she threw the knife in the air. The knife landed right in front of a frightened Krillin.

Master Roshi then told Goku, Gohan, and Krillin that he would give the boys one more test before dinner. He picked up a stone and wrote his symbol on it and showed the boys the symbol. Master Roshi then threw the stone in the deep jungle below.

"Who ever gets the stone gets dinner. However, if none of you get the stone within 30 minutes, then none of you will get any dinner." He explained.

Goku then jumped off the cliff into the jungle and Gohan followed him. They both grabbed a branch on their way down, but it broke and they hit the ground with a thomp. However, Goku got back up and prepared to start looking for the stone. Gohan just lied there for a moment then got up and went a different way. After a while, he saw Krillen and decided to spy on him in some bushes.

Krillin was looking for a detour to the jungle below. He then realized that he could never get the stone in such a large jungle especially with Goku already searching. He thought of another way he would get his dinner. Krillin then picked up a stone and got a pen. He then wrote Master Roshi's symbol on the rock and went back to the Kame House. Gohan shook his head and left to find Goku.

Goku was stillsearching for Master Roshi's stone when Gohan found him. The demi-sayin stayed in the bushes to spy on Goku too. He was using his keen sense of smell to track it down. After awhile, Goku found the stne.

"Yes!" He yelled. Then Krillen ran out of the woods and was shocked that Goku found the stone.

"Hey Goku, can I see the stone?" Krillin asked. Gohan stepped out of the bushes but before he could tell Goku no, he gave it to him and Krillin ran off with it. Goku then chased Krillin through the jungle. Gohan ran after the boys. They then both crossed a bridge and when Krillin reached the other side, he cut the ropes holding the bridge up, knocking Goku and Gohan into the river below. Goku, however, was quick to get up and chase Krillin some more. Gohan was stuck in the river. He got soaked!

"Flying nimbas!" He called. He knew that it was against the rules but he was wet and annoied. He road the cloud and jumped off alittle ways off from the boys. They were battling and it looked like Goku was winning.

Goku won the battle and told Krillin to give him the stone. Krillin then threw a different stone and Goku chased it. Now that Krillin had the real stone he headed back to the Kame House. Gohan followed him back.

At the Kame House, Master Roshi gave his approval to Krillin that he had found the right stone. Soon later, at the dinner table, Krillin and Master Roshi were eating the food Launch had prepared for them. Gohan and Goku were not eating, the latter looking at the food longly. Master Roshi then asked Launch what kind of fish was in the stew. Launch then told him it was puffer fish. Krillin and Master Roshi soon felt ill, as puffer fish is poisonous. Gohan could have laughed.

The next day, Goku wanted to train, but Master Roshi told him that training would start on the next day, as he and Krillin were still feeling the effects of the puffer fish. Gohan did laugh then.
