NatNicole: It won't let me reply to your comment left for a title however, even though Robin lives with Gohan and Goku, Gohan never legally adopted him and Robin didn't change his family name to Son. Also, I don't want to put Robin's name in the title because I want a clever title that would attract curiosity.

"If we need any more man power, I'll definitely come get you two personally Robin." Yang said as he looked somewhat hopeful. "Anyways, I think I need to go home and relax a little, I've been way too stressed lately. Are you coming home with me Mariah?" Yang asked his daughter.

"Yeah, I guess I'll go home daddy. Bye Robin, I hope to see you again!" Mariah said cheerfully as she and her father stood up and headed out the door.

Robin just sat there in deep thought for a while. 'Did I do the right thing? Even if this changes history, maybe I should still try to help people.' Robin was there for about ten minutes before deciding to get up and go walk around for a bit.

Chapter 6: Cake and Dojo

Robin was walking down the main street when something caught his attention. Something smelled really good. It was a very sweet scent, but not just one scent, there were several.

This was the first time Robin realized just how much his smelling improved by becoming a saiyan. He could distinguish almost all of the scents. There were fresh cookies, chocolate, vanilla, dough, and icing. He looked around and up the street there was a small building that stood out to him.

The building was pink and white. It looked girly but he knew what it was, a bakery. 'Maybe since today didn't go so well, I could get a small cake for Goku.' Robin took out all the money he had in his pocket and counted 357 zeni.

He walked up the street and stopped outside the bakery, checking to see if it had any prices listed on the window. No such luck however the window did have the name of the bakery on it. Dragon Ball Bakery, how creative. It seemed that everything in this town was named after the Dragon Balls.

Robin decided to enter the bakery to check how much a cake cost. Above the counter where several workers stood, there was a sort of menu for all the different things they made. Robin looked around for the cakes and he found what he was looking for.

The listings were separated between circular and rectangular. They went as followed:

Circular:

8" diameter 250 zeni

10" diameter 290 zeni

12" diameter 350 zeni

14" diameter 390 zeni

16" diameter 435 zeni

Rectangular:

6" by 10" 280 zeni

6" by 12" 320 zeni

8" by 12" 350 zeni

8" by 14" 400 zeni

10" by 16" 500 zeni

12" by 20" 595 zeni

Robin still wasn't quite sure what the exchange rate between zeni and dollars are, but he had a feeling that this place was fairly priced. The diner he ate at had burger combos for 75 zeni, and cakes are normally quite expensive.

Robin decided on getting a circular cake with 10" diameter since he still wanted a bit of money in case he got hungry. There were three other people waiting in line so he stepped behind the last one and waited.

After about ten minutes of waiting, it was his turn to order. The person who was working the cash was turned sideways talking to a coworker. She looked like she was about 15 years old. She had short blond hair and very light blue eyes. She was also, how would you put it, well developed in Robin's opinion. She also looked somewhat familiar but he couldn't quite put a name to her.

The blond seemed oblivious to Robin checking her out and he thought he was lucky when she didn't see him. Luck wasn't on his side today though as he say her smirk and look at him out of the corner of her eyes. "So what could I get for you, cutie." She said and her other employees started to giggle.

Though Robin had been living in the middle of nowhere for the past couple of months, he didn't forget what being a high school student was like. Robin also supposed that he must still look like he did when he was sixteen and the girl must've thought he was in her age range for dating.

Robin was somewhat put off at her direct flirt but gained his composure quite quickly. He couldn't fall to her even though she was quite the looker. He just went with going for his order and ignoring the fact that she seemed to be eyeing his arms. He didn't have huge muscles but his gi showed off his well defined arms.

"Well I'm looking to get a birthday cake for my little brother." Robin was straight to the point, he couldn't get lost in those pools of blue.

"Anything for you handsome. What kind of cake would you like and what size?" Robin noticed a nametag on her uniform. Her name is Cindy. Cindy was waiting patiently for him to answer.

"Well Cindy, I am going to get a 10" circular cake. Chocolate with vanilla frosting." Robin wasn't sure what kind of cake Goku would like the most but knowing Goku, he'd probably eat anything.

"Well, we currently don't have any 10" circular chocolate cakes at the moment, but if you could come back in about two and a half hours, it should be ready." Robin agreed to this and paid the 290 zeni for the cake.

Just as Robin was about to turn around and head out, a man with blond hair and the same blue eyes walked out of the back. He looked around middle aged and Robin could guess that he was Cindy's dad. Cindy didn't seem to notice he came out though.

"Can't wait to see you later again cutie." Cindy said with a wink. The man just smiled and shook his head. "Honey, how many times do I need to tell you not to flirt with the customers?" Cindy jumped a little at this. "Sorry dad." She squeaked out, obviously embarrassed at being caught again.

Robin just smiled holding back a laugh and walked out of the bakery. Since he had over two hours of time to kill, he decided to go check out a dojo he saw while walking around earlier that day.

It took Robin about twenty minutes of walking but he eventually found the dojo. Once again, this place was named after the Dragon Balls. It's called The Magic Ball Dojo. The letter i in Magic was dotted with a one star Dragon Ball.

It was a nice little touch but the outside of the dojo didn't mean anything about the interior quality. Robin also saw a sign on the window that said free viewing and use of rings. Since he didn't plan on doing much, Robin walked in just to see how the classes were.

On the inside, there were presumably three masters and each one had about 10 kids that looked like preteens to early teens around them. There were also 5 fighting rings in one area and gym equipment in the back corner with a couple of older teens around them.

The was currently only two spars going on in the rings so Robin went up to one of them to watch. There was a kid who was maybe thirteen with black curly hair that was almost an afro. He also had blue eyes. He kind of looked familiar to Robin but not quite enough to name him.

The other fighter looked the same age as the first but he was much shorter. He had slick black hair that was tied down in a braid that reached his mid back. He also looked vaguely familiar but so far, he looked the least familiar to Robin out of just about everyone.

The kid with curly hair was obviously winning and had an air of confidence around him. He seemed like the kind of person who built their ego on winning and thinking that they're the best. The other kid was struggling to block all the hits that the curly haired kid was pounding on him.

Not much longer and the fight will be over. Robin could spot all the errors that each was making and he was judging that neither knows anything about energy.

"Hey Robin, I didn't think I'd see you here." A girl voice said from next to him as someone walked up. Robin turned his head to look to the side and Mariah was there. "Oh hey Mariah, I decided to buy a cake for my little brother and it's only going to be ready in about two hours, so I thought I'd come check out the dojo to waste some time."

As Robin was talking to Mariah, the kid with the curly hair saw them in the corner of his eye. It was no secret that he liked Mariah, but she seemed to be the only one oblivious to him. She was a bit younger than him though.

Anyways, seeing her talk to another guy that wasn't him bothered him. He got angry and punched the person he was fighting so hard it crashed through his defenses and knocked him out.

This caught Robin and Mariah's attention and they looked up to see the kid with the braid on the ground unconscious. The person surveying the match just went up to the kid with curly hair and put his arm up. "It seems Mark has beat Jaguar once again." He announced to the few spectators.

Robin was caught off guard when those two names came up. 'So, that kid is going to turn into Mr. Satan and the other kid is going to responsible for Bio Broly.' Robin could now guess that Mariah will become Videl's mother as he saw Mark walk over while saying hi to Mariah.

"Hey Mark, still not bored of beating up Jaguar yet?" Mariah said sounding kind of unimpressed at the fight. "Well it's not my fault Jaguar doesn't learn his lesson and comes back for more every couple of days." Mark said back while looking over to Robin.

Mark realized that the other guy with spiky hair was quite a bit older than both Mariah and himself but he still felt as though he needed to show him that Mariah was his girl. But before he had a chance to say or do anything, Mariah spoke up.

"So Robin, do you think that you're going to be there whenever the rebels show up?" She asked looking up at Robin. Robin still wasn't quite sure if he should show up to that or not. "If the town needs help, I'll be there." Robin chose the safest answer he could think of without confirming that he'd be there.

Mark was surprised at the fact that this Robin guy was going to be fighting the rebels when him and all the younger martial artist are being forced to stay back incase they're needed one day in the future. "Come on Mariah, you honestly think that this guy could stand up to gunfire? Look at him, compared to all the adults, this guy is a twig."

"Fine then Mark, if you're so confident that this guy can't fight why don't you two have a spar? Also Mark if you lose don't blame it on the fact that you fought Jaguar because you were only in the ring with him for two minutes and I know you didn't waste much energy." Mariah said then looked up at Robin. "So are you up for it Robin?" Mariah was looking at him with pleading eyes, almost as if she wanted Mark to be put in his place.

"Fine I'll do it, but I don't plan on fighting long because I really don't feel like fighting someone who isn't worth my time." Robin played it off perfectly. His plan was to wind up Mark to the point that he's completely blinded by rage, and it seemed it wouldn't take much.

"What do you mean not worth your time? I'm a great fighter! I'm even going to be the best some day. Just you watch you toothpick." Mark was obviously angered. "Well, maybe if you didn't have such stupid hair, people would be able to take you seriously." Robin watched as that was Mark's breaking point.

"THAT"S IT! I'M GOING TO CRUSH YOU!" Mark yelled furiously as he jumped forward aiming his most powerful kick at Robin's head. Robin simply ducked under the kick and watched as Mark flew past him. Robin grabbed Mark's back leg by the ankle and slammed him over his head to the ground. Robin didn't even use any energy and Mark was out cold.

After about 15 seconds of waiting, Mark came to and looked around in a daze until his eyes landed on Robin. Mark quickly jumped up and got back into a stance. "You caught me off guard but it won't happen again. This time I'll definitely crush you." Mark said confidently as he tried to play off his pain.

Mariah's laughter caught his attention though and he looked over to her. "What's so funny Mariah? You think I can't beat this punk?" Mark asked her slightly annoyed that she would think something like that. "Mark, you already lost the match, you were knocked out for more than ten seconds." Mariah said and started to laugh harder at the distraught look that came upon Mark's face.

"You know, I don't usually insult people because I try to be a neutral person. You however need to learn to control your anger, because if you weren't angry, you'd of realized that going straight for a knock out on the first hit wasn't such a good plan." Robin told Mark as he turned round and jumped out of the ring. "Next time someone insults you before or during a match, don't take it to heart because it could just be part of their strategy."

Robin was now standing next to the ring waiting for a response from Mark. All he got though was a muttered "Whatever" as Mark turned around and went over to one of the groups that surrounded a sensei.

"It's about time he took a blow to his ego, I was starting to think it might start to cause trouble, but I think he'll be calmer for a while. Thanks Robin." Mariah said as she walked over to another fight that just started.

Robin looked over at a clock that was on the wall closest to him. He still had an hour and a half to kill. 'What else is there to do in this town?' He questioned himself consciously.
