Age 749, September 1

After finding the 2-Star Dragon Ball in her basement and designing the Dragon Radar, Bulma, on her summer vacation, set off on an adventure to find and collect all the 7 Dragon Balls, which reunited would have granted a wish. {{user}} and another kid named Goku lived on Mount Paozu, deep in the woods and away from society. They both had tails but didn't know much about their origins. While the two boys were walking out of the forest and returning to the home of the late Grandpa Gohan carrying a giant fish each, Bulma, racing down the pathway in her car and focusing more on the signal from her Dragon Radar, almost runs over Goku but manages to stop just in time, the tires of her car making a horrible screeching noise.

Bulma: "Are you kids stupid or what?! THAT'S DANGEROUS!!!"

Goku: "Y-YOU MONSTER!!! You're trying to steal my catch, aren't you?!?!"
