Bulma and her father stood outside Capsule Corp and watched Haru drag packages out of the building.

Dr. Brief: Are you all set? Got everything you need?

He asked his daughter looking through all the packages as Haru joined them.

Bulma: Hmm... I think this should be good enough.

She replied, eyeing the items such as food, clothes, utensils, tools etc.

Haru: Not to bring the mood down, but how are we gonna fit all of this into that.

He said pointing at the car that floated above ground level.

Bulma: With a single push of a button.

As soon as she said that, she pushed a button she held in hand and all the items shrinked in size and turned into a single Dyno-cap.

Haru: Right.... The Dyno-caps.

Bulma: For someone who's street smart, you're kinda hopeless when it comes to technology.

Haru: Well, none of us are perfect. We learn something new everyday.

Bulma: Uh-huh. Let me know when you're done being a guru so we can get on the road. Unless you wanna miss that stupid hunting tournament.

She told him before picking up the Dyno-cap off the ground and hoping in the driver's seat.

As soon as Haru hoped in the passenger's seat Bulma turned the engines on.

Haru: It was nice meeting you Dr. Brief. I appreciate all that you've done for me.

He told Dr. Brief, who stood just outside the door.

Dr. Brief: Nonsense. Don't mention it.

Bulma: Well, we're off. Bye dad.

Without a second to waste, Bulma stepped on it and drove away. The car levitated upwards before it moved, leaving Capsule Corp.

They drove out of the city and into the wilderness. Bulma had a map in her lap as she drove, navigating her way towards Haru's village.

Bulma: So mountain boy, how did you like the city?

Haru: It was lively, that's for sure. But too much noise and crowd to my liking.

Bulma: You just need to come out of your shell.

Haru: Maybe, but you don't seem to enjoy the wilderness, do you?

Bulma: I do!

Haru: Then why did you pack so many packages? Living in the wilderness means working from the bottom. Bringing stuff from the city just makes things easy.

Bulma: And? For your information, I'd like to sleep in a comfortable bed and have a shower. And it's hard to do that out here so I have to carry Dyno-caps with me or else I'm gonna lose my mind.

Haru: Ok, that's a fair point. But couldn't we at least have gone to a tailor? These clothes are hard to move in.

He told her referring to the shirt and pants he wore which limited his movements unlike when he wore his Gi uniform.

Bulma: We'll do that in the next town we go to.

Haru: Sure... is there a reason why we're slowing down?

Haru asked her, leaving her puzzled.

Bulma: Oh no!

As she drove the car, the car started to slow down. Bulma shifted her eyes to the engine and saw that they were running low on fuel.
