The door opened and Bulma and Marty stepped inside.
Marty looked over the room that he would be staying in for the next '3 years'. Marty thought it looked pretty nice. There was a single bed, a Tiffany bedlamp on a cream-coloured desk, and a big window with a nice view of the city.
"It looks great Bulma!" Marty said.
Bulma smiled. "It's really no trouble. I'll be in the room across to yours, and my parents will be in the room next to mine." She said.
"Oh okay. So um, I'm kinda bored." Marty said.
"Hey, let's visit Goku, Chi Chi and Gohan!" Bulma said.
"Well, okay." Marty said.
Marty and Bulma stepped out of the building. Bulma reached into her pocket and pulled out a small capsule and dropped it to the ground. There was a poof of smoke, and standing in the capsule's place was a car.
"Wow! How did you do that?" Marty said.
"With the capsules that I make!" She said.
Marty and Bulma got in the car. Bulma started the car and drove off. They reached a small house with round edges 10 minutes later.
Bulma stepped up and knocked on the door. It opened, and a woman with short black hair and a mixing bowl in her hand answered it.
"Bulma!" She said. "Good to see you!"
"You too, Chi Chi!" Bulma said. She pointed to Marty. "This is Marty. He's gonna be staying with me."
"Hi." Marty said.
"Oh hello." Chi Chi said. "Come in, take a seat."
They walked in. Goku and Piccolo were there.
"Oh hey Bulma, Marty!" Goku said. "You're just in time! Chi Chi's going to make a big chocolate cake!"
"Oh goody." Piccolo said.
"That's great. Uh, where's that kid of yours, Gohan?" Marty asked.
"Gohan is studying in his room." Chi Chi said.
"Shouldn't he be training for the Androids?" Marty said.
Chi Chi snorted. "He can train AND study."
"Hey, you know what, maybe I can help him!" Marty said.
Chi Chi looked at him with a sceptical look.
"Are you sure?" Chi Chi said.
"Well, I'll try." Marty said.
"Okay. Come with me!" Chi Chi said.
Chi Chi led Marty to Gohan's room. Chi Chi knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" a voice said.
"It's me Marty, that guy from the future." Marty said. He opened the door and Chi Chi walked out. Gohan looked like he was studying hard.
"Oh hey Marty. So, what are you doing here?" Gohan said.
"Well, I thought you might want some help on your homework. Having any trouble?" Marty said.
"Well, yeah. There's this one question." Gohan said.
"Okay, fire away." Marty said.
Gohan looked at his textbook. "How many dimensions are there in the space time continuum?" He said.
Marty just had to smile. "It has 4 dimensions." He replied.
"How did you know that?" Gohan said.
"Oh, I always try to think fourth-dimensionally." Marty said with a smile.
"Oh right." Gohan said. "You know what Marty?"
"What?" Marty said.
"The truth is, I don't really want to study. I really want to train, so I can be strong enough to fight the Androids." Gohan said.
"Aren't you already?" Marty said, puzzled.
"Yeah, my dad and Piccolo are training me, But I just know that they'll go easy on me, since I'm only seven years old." Gohan said.
Marty was astonished at Gohan's age, but didn't say it. "Just tell them not to go easy on you." He said. "I'm sure that they'll understand."
"Thanks Marty." Gohan said.
"No problem." Marty replied.
"Guys!" Chi Chi called. "I've finished my cake! Want a slice?"
"Yeah!" Gohan said, grabbing Marty. "Let's go Marty!"
They ran down to the kitchen. Chi Chi was already cutting big slices onto a plate. "Here, try one." She said.
Marty picked up a fat slice and took a bite. "Not bad." He said. "Not bad at all."
