Yamcha and Puar took another route which led them to a trail in which he had a hunch he'd find the little girl who was missing. As the
motorcycle sped along, he found himself thinking of another girl-- Bulma. She was the prettiest girl he'd ever seen. Her silky soft blue hair
outlined her beautiful face-- a face that just begged to be kissed. As he thought of the blue-haired beauty, his face flushed causing Puar to stare
at him strangely. The Desert Bandit finally noticed his pet cat was looking at him like he had lobsters coming out of his ears. He regained his
composure and asked Puar to keep a look out for the Ox King's daughter.
Puar asked Yamcha, as she was examining the Dragonballs, what exactly did one do with a Dragonball. Yamcha shrugged and said he would
beat the answer out of the little, purple-haired girl and the monkey boy if he had to. The rest of the trip was spent in silence as Yamcha
continued to think of Bulma. He wasn't sure, but he thought she still liked him-- even after he kidnapped the girl. Who was that girl? Was she a
relation of Bulma's. A sister? A niece? A daughter? A daughter!? Yamcha completely dismissed that from his mind. Bulma was too young to
have a daughter Rina's age. She was sixteen; same age as he was.
Yamcha was brought out of his daydreams by a little black-haired girl running faster than his motorcycle was going! As Yamcha was deciding if
the little girl was the Ox King's daughter, Puar almost deafened him by screaming into his ear.
"Puar! What's gotten into you?" Yamcha asked before turning his head and seeing the reason for Puar screaming. The biggest dinosaur he'd
ever seen barreling down upon them.
"Yamcha!! Put the petal to the metal!" Puar shouted into his ear again. Yamcha winced before twisting his hand around the gas control causing
the motorcycle to speed up to 110 mph. The little girl was still running up ahead of them. How could a little girl run so fast?! Just before the
motorcycle was about five feet from her, the little girl stopped. Yamcha slammed on the brakes causing the motorcycle to turn onto its side,
propelling him and Puar down into a ditch.
The little girl put her hands up to her helmet causing a blast of energy to be emitted from it. The energy was headed straight for the dinosaur and
connected with its head. After the smoke cleared, on the ground laid one dinosaur sans a head. "Humph! That'll teach that ol' lizard to chase
me!" The little girl was basking in her victory when it suddenly occurred to her that a cute boy on a motorcycle was chasing her too. "I wonder
what happened to him?" She asked aloud as she saw the motorcycle tracks leading to a big ditch. She gasped and ran over to the ditch to find
the dishelved form of a very handsome young man and mangled blue form she thought was a cat.
"Are you okay down there?" She asked nervously.
"Yeah," Yamcha moaned as his back cracked very loudly when he tried to sit up. "Who are you?"
"I'm Chi-Chi," she giggled as she blushed. Yamcha face vaulted as he realized that the little girl was making eyes at him. Puar whispered into his
ear that the Ox King's daughter was named Chi-Chi.
"Then you're just what I've been looking for," Yamcha grunted as he stood up. "Your father sent us to retrieve you along with Master Roshi,"
he smiled sweetly as he lied through his teeth.
"My tousan . . . sent someone to find me?" Chi-Chi asked quietly.
"Yes, little one. He's really worried about you," Puar said as she floated up to the little girl.
"Oh, papa," the little girl cried out as tears began to fall from her face. "I was beginning to think he didn't care about me anymore." Yamcha's
heartstrings were being pulled as the little girl wept. He leapt up from the ditch, as best he could, and knelt down to the child.
"It's okay, Chi-Chi. He does care," he said just before Chi-Chi fell into his arms. The Desert Bandit's face turned twelve shades of purple as the
little girl wrapped her tiny arms around him as best she could and held on for dear life. 'Why is it never easy?' He thought as he looked over at
Puar who was giggling up a storm.
Chi-Chi sighed as the motorcycle sped along the dirt road taking them on their journey to see Master Roshi. 'He's so handsome,' she thought tightening her grip around Yamcha's waist.
"Huh?" He asked as he looked down at the little face staring so lovingly up at him. 'Oh, Kami! What have I done now?'
"What's your name?" Chi-Chi almost sang.
"Yamcha, and this is Puar," he introduced. Chi-Chi proceeded to tell the Desert Bandit she thought he was cute. All the color left his face
as Puar continued to laugh hysterically. "Puar," he chided.
"Yamcha, Yamcha, where have I heard that name before?" Chi-Chi asked aloud. The little girl wracked her brain and then suddenly, it hit her! "You're that Desert Bandit!"
Yamcha face vaulted at the little girl's revelation causing him to stop the motorcycle. "Chi-Chi," he began calmly, "that's just a rumor."
"No, it's not! My tousan told me about you, and he wouldn't send some bandit after his only daughter!"
"Your tousan eats people!" Puar chimed in.
"So?" The little girl smirked as she jumped off the motorcycle. Yamcha began to scream and yell at her to get back onto the motorcycle. If she didn't, his plans were about to go to hell. Without her, he couldn't get to Master Roshi's. Without Master Roshi, the blaze at Fire Mountain couldn't be put out. If the blaze couldn't be put out, then he couldn't get the Dragonball. Yamcha knew what the next conclusion was and all this thinking and Chi-Chi's screaming was making his head hurt.
"SHUT-UP!!!" He yelled before he realized it. Chi-Chi's bottom lip began to quiver before she let out a bloodcurdling wail. "I'm sorry, Chi-Chi," Yamcha said softly as he began to walk over to the little girl. She began to back off as he was trying to apologize and reassure her, but his efforts were fruitless. As soon as he had backed her up to a rock, she put two fingers on her helmet causing a big blast to come from it-- aimed straight at Yamcha. The blast knocked him off his motorcycle and crashing down on Puar.
Meanwhile where Goku, Rina, and the Turtle were . . .
After Goku and Rina had pulled the aircar from the ditch, Rina proceeded to work on it using the plans in the glove compartment. "Where's the mouthy sister of mine when you need her?" She cursed as she scratched her head. Rina was smart, but she wasn't very technically inclined-- like her sister, Bulma.
"Rina, do you need any help?" Goku ran up and asked her. She smiled at the little boy, but knew he would be of no help to her. The fact that he offered was so cute! Rina told Goku that she didn't need any help, but if he and Turtle could round up something to eat, that would be of help.
As the turtle and the little boy went off into the wilderness, Rina continued to fiddle with the air car's damaged engine. After twenty minutes of constantly looking back at the plans and cursing to Kami, she finally got the blasted thing to start. "Now, to find Goku and Turtle. We've lost valuable time!" She stated as she looked at her watch. Just then, a little girl came whizzing past her as Rina gathered up her tools. 'Who was that!?' She thought.
Rina flew off after the little girl finally catching up with her. "Hey! Where are you going!?" She asked.
"You . . . you're flying!!!" Chi-Chi exclaimed just before she put her fingers up to her helmet. She stopped dead in her tracks and turned to Rina.
"Yeah, I can fly. You wouldn't happen to be the Ox King's daughter, would you?" She asked remembering the description of his daughter the hulking monarch gave her and Goku.
"Yes, I am, and I bet he sent you to find me, ne?" She asked placing her hands upon her hips.
"Why yes he did. How did you know that?"
"Faker!" Chi-Chi screamed before a powerful beam was emitted from her helmet. The beam narrowly missed Rina, causing her to become very angry.
"Listen here, girlie! You don't know who you're fooling with. I'll fry you like a French fry!" Rina seethed.
"Just go ahead and try it," Chi-Chi mocked, taking a finger and pulling down her lower eyelid then sticking out her tongue.
"You asked for it!" Rina screamed as a powerful energy blast was emitted from her hands. The beam collided with Chi-Chi, knocking her to the ground. "Gosh, I didn't mean to hit her with such a powerful blast!" Rina gasped as she ran over to the little girl's fallen body. She bent down and picked her up when she heard a motorcycle approaching. The high pitch whine of the vehicle identified it as Yamcha's bike.
The little purple-haired girl cursed her timing and luck. She knew she couldn't fight Yamcha one-on-one, but she also knew that she couldn't let him take Chi-Chi. What was she going to do?
