[There's a teenage boy glaring at a piece of paper in his hand, yelling indignantly at it.]

Time travel again?! Geez, at this rate, it's almost every other month! This is really getting on my nerves.

[At some point during his rant, he starts darting about the area, trying to familiarize himself with the place. Except he decides to ignore the

[Bulla is used to seeing garish clothing - she's seen saiyan armour and Goku's martial arts uniform. With how fast the boy is running, it's difficult to follow his movements. She can move at superhuman speeds, but not that fast. She approaches when he's at the map.]

Time Compression, actually. I think there's a treadmill near the weights room.

[teenspeed]

What's the difference?

Those? I checked them out a second ago. Definitely can't time travel with 'em. [He'd located the weights room on the map and sped over to examine the treadmills before coming back, all so fast that it looked like he never left.]

Argh, stupid LJ notifs

[Bulla blinks, surprise evident on her face.]

...instant transmission? You were here a second ago.

[That's the only ability she knows of that would allow a person to move that quickly.]

Time Compression has weird side effects, and it can bring people from different worlds.

I switched to gmail temporarily; that helped :c

[teenspeed]

Nah, I just move really fast.

So...it's like time travel and dimension travel combined? [Well that's new. Kind of.]

[shops_a_lot]

I'll say! I think even my dad would have trouble keeping up with you and he's pretty fast.

...sounds like you're used to this kind of stuff already.

[teenspeed]

Really? How fast?

Yeah, it happens more than I'd like.

[shops_a_lot]

Well, he could out-fly a rocket, so maybe about mach 25?

Did you get a chance to read your letter?

[teenspeed]

Hey, that's pretty fast!

--I read most of it. [He skimmed it. Even with speedreading, it was pretty boring.]

[shops_a_lot]

He's really strong, too. Way stronger than me.

What sponsor do you have? You'll get a ring and you're supposed to wear it.

[Bulla holds her hand up to show her Ruby ring.]

My sponsor is Ruby.

[teenspeed]

Super strong or just really strong? [Yes, there is a difference.]

Huh? But I already have a ring! I mean-- Lapis Lazuli. That's what it said.

[shops_a_lot]

Well, I can lift a car over my head and dad's even stronger, so I guess super strong.

[teenspeed]

That is pretty strong.

[shops_a_lot]

He's tied for first place as the strongest in the world with his rival and best friend Goku. I used to cheer him on at martial arts tournaments.

[Bulla grins playfully, holding up her pinky finger.]

But no matter how strong he is, I've still got him wrapped around my little finger. I'm the only one he'll take fashion advice from.
