==Summary==
Goku is in the city at Capsule Corporation, looking for Bulma so that she can fix his broken Dragon Radar. When she returns home from school, she greets Goku and invites him inside Capsule Corporation along with the accompanying Policeman.
Inside Goku meets Dr. Brief for the first time before going up to Bulma's room where she fixes his Dragon Radar and shows off her new invention, the Micro Band which shrinks her down to a fraction of the size. She is suddenly stepped on when Bulma's mother, Bikini, enters the room bringing drinks for the pair. Here Goku finds out about Yamcha and Bulma's problem because Yamcha is being noticed by other young girls.
Meanwhile, a Master Thief named Hasky is hired by the Red Ribbon Army to steal the two Dragon Balls that are in Goku's possession.
Bulma shows Goku a tour of the city on the Flying Nimbus. Bulma shrinks herself with Micro Band and rides in Goku's shirt because she has no purity in order to ride the Nimbus.
After taking a tour through the shopping district, they meet up with Yamcha, Puar, and Oolong, before heading for the newly built amusement park, Dream Land. Puar and Oolong tell Yamcha about how bad Bulma is for him when Bulma pops out of Goku's shirt and yells at Yamcha for talking behind her back. They all head toward the park when Goku senses someone but ignores it and heads on though it turns out he is actually being watched by Hasky.
