I don't own DBZ or any of its characters

Thomas Drovin- thanks again for your review, oh well he will get a lot stronger then when he started out, as you can till from this chapter.

Yamcha raised his hand preparing himself for an attack which could come from any possible direction, he though about which way he would attack from, and then thought about the last five attacks and how his guess on each of them had been wrong. Yamcha moved his right foot forward just a hair and lean down just a bit more. Yamcha then felt something and slamed his right hand to his left quickly. Seconds afterwards Krillin hit the wall of the gym with a thud, and got up, and smiled at Yamcha.

"Well it seems you finally were able to tell where I was when I masked my ki level," Krillin said right before disappearing again from normal human sight.

Luckly for Yamcha he was far from the normal human and he watched Krillin charge though the corner of his eye acting like he had no clue what had just happened. He watched as Krillin moved closer and closer till he was right about to be on him. He the moved back just a few inches which both moved him out of the way of the attack and left Krillin more then just a bit open for a counter. Yamcha kneed the diving Krillin knocking him up, and the slammed him to the ground.

"I think that is enough for today, I think that is enough on these old bones, of mine," Krillin said getting up.

Yamcha smiled at his old friend and extend his hand to help him up, "Well it been a lot of fun getting to try you, old pal."

"Same here, brings back a good old memories of Roshi's training," Krillin said after finding his way to his feet, " I will say this you have gotten a lot better, but right now, I wouldn't say you were ready to fight what your going to have to in this tournament."

"I know, I just have to get stronger, I gotten win this tournament," Yamcha said with a determined tone.

"Yeah I figured, that was the case, there really one thing you can do, the one thing you been avoiding," Krillin replied with a rare serious tone in his voice.

"Um and what would that be," Yamcha asked.

"Train in that gravity room, it the only thing that is going to help you build you level to where it has to be in the time remaining until the tournament," Krillin said sincerely, "It not like you not ready for it, I am sure you are, you just have to be careful in it, that is all."

"Fine then, I think I going to have to do it then," Yamcha replied.

"Good, well that can wait till tomarrow, hey where Pan is today anyways," Krillin asked looking around.

"Oh um well you see, she like to sleep in a lot, and more then likely she is still asleep," Yamcha replied with a cheesy smile.

"Oh ok," Krillin said with a anime like teardrop on his forehead, "Well then let's get some lunch, on me."

The two of them left the dojo, right as Pan was walking up, "Um good morning," she said in a happy tone.

"Well good morning to you to babe, Krillin and I are on are way to get something to eat, if you want to come your welcome," Yamcha replied with a smile.

"No, thanks, I have to make use you two didn't mess up everything to badly," she replied still smiling.

"Well not too much, oh and Pan could you warm of the gravity room, I going to be using it later for some training," Yamcha said walking off leaving a surprised Pan standing thinking about how the last statement.

"Well how serious have you two gotten," Krillin said elbowing him in the side.

Yamcha took a deep breath, "Well not very serious and well let's just say I am not going to make the same mistake again, that I made when I went out with Bulma. Anyway I think that information is kind of private."

"Well sure of course it is," Krillin said before laughing, "With who your friends are, you have no chance to keep anything secret, I mean I live on a tiny island, and I still can't keep a secret from anyone."

"Well I guess you do have a good point there," Yamcha replied.

The two then walked into a local diner and sat down. It was a pretty simple place; the type of place that would serve breakfast at anytime of the day as well has hamburgers at any time as well.

"What can I order for you today," the waiter said as he walked up.

"Well now I would like to have a classic Bacon burger," Yamcha said looking at his menu.

"Well I will have the classic BLT," Krillin said next also looking at the menu.

When the two handed the waiter the menus they where both shocked to see Ubuu, standing looking equally surprised to see the two of them eating at one of his tables.

"What are you doing working here, Ubuu, I did know you had a job," Krillin asked looking at the young fighter.

"Well you see, I wanted to get something for Bra, and I am kind of out of money," Ubuu replied looking at Krillin.

"Well um why did you aske Bulma or someone for some money," Yamcha asked curious as to way Ubuu was working.

"Well two reasons one is because, I want to earn it for her, and two is because as you know no one can keep a secret, um well you two keep this information from everyone else, I don't want Bra finding out, I want her gift to be a total surprise," Ubuu said a bit nervous.

"Well of course we won't right Yamcha," Krillin quickly said.

"Right, but be careful, if you work to much, Bra may start to think you cheating on her," Yamcha said with a smile.

"Will remember, and your food will be right out," Ubuu said leaving.

"Well I guess someone can keep a secret around here after all," Krillin said with a smile.
