Chapter 5: Deals
P.O.V. [Name]
I yawned as I woke up and began to walk towards the door to the room that Bulma told me was mine. When I did I saw a few things scattered across the ground including a pair of panties for some reason. It was strange because Bulma was usually rather clean when it came to clothes and things like that. Well, whatever the case I should probably just leave them there. There's no telling how she'll react if she sees me with a pair of her panties.
I walked out of the building and saw that Goku and Bulma seemed to be talking to . . . a turtle? Am I still asleep? "Oh there you are big brother!" Goku said as he looked at me and began running up to me. "Mister turtle said he wants us to take him to the ocean. He said that his master will give us a reward for saving him," Goku said as he looked at me.
"Oh so uh . . . where is his master?" I asked as I looked at Goku. Now I know I'm dreaming, but since that's the case I might as well try to enjoy the dream to some extent right.
"He lives on a small island off the coast. If you take me to the ocean then I can go get him and he'll reward you," The turtle said as he looked at us. I was convinced this was a scam, but then again I can't remember ever being scammed in my dreams so it was worth a shot right?
"Alright, I guess we're going to the ocean then," I said as I looked at the creature in front of me.
"Yeah, except there's one problem," Bulma said as she looked at us. "My motorcycle can only handle two people at a time. It won't be able to take all of us at once," She said as she looked at us.
"That's not a problem, I can just carry mister turtle," Goku said as he walked over to the turtle and lifted him off the ground. With his strength, it shouldn't be that hard to keep up with the motorcycle and carry the turtle at the same time. And if he does get tired then we can just switch places. I watched as Bulma packed her things and before I knew it the large building we had been sleeping in had been turned back into a capsule.
She then got on her motorcycle and we began to make our way towards the beach. As we did I looked up at the sky. I can't remember the last time I was able to relax like this. Sure riding on a motorcycle all day might not be the best way to spend our time but Bulma isn't as strong as Goku and me, so I doubt she could continue to run for hours on end as we do. Honestly, I couldn't see her running for more than a few minutes without getting tired.
But even so, I can't remember the last time I was able to take it this easy. Usually, I would have to worry about what Goku was doing, or some of those dangerous animals near our house. Or help Goku with his training, but at the moment that's not something I needed to worry about, and it's been that way ever since I met Bulma. For the most part, things just tend to take care of themselves with her around.
She tends to take care of most of the food, and now that we're out of the mountains we don't need to worry about dangerous monsters like we used to. And at this rate, I don't even need to train Goku because of everything that's been happening. Like carrying this turtle, I can't imagine it helping that much if I'm honest but even so every little bit counts especially when everything is so weak on this world.
As time passed I found myself slowly beginning to drift off to sleep. I didn't wake up until we came to a sudden stop at the beach. The smell of the sea helping to keep me awake. Goku then placed the turtle on the beach and looked at him. "Okay, now wait here while I go get him," The turtle said as he slowly began to make his way into the water. I wanted to say this dream was strange but at this point, I'm starting to doubt whether it's a dream or not.
After all, I don't think my dreams really last this long, and if they did then they're usually not as detailed as this one. "Well Goku, while we wait for him what do you say we train a little bit?" I asked as I looked at the male in front of me. When I said this he smiled and nodded taking a fighting stance. I smiled seeing this and looked at him. "Alright whenever you're ready," I said as I looked at him.
After a few moments he jumped up and tried to punch me, and I caught his punch. Goku then tried to follow it up with a kick and then with another punch. However, I was able to stop and send each attack away from me. I could tell he was slowly getting stronger even if it didn't feel like it at times. I remember being able to do this with no worries at all, and now most of the time whenever he went for an especially strong attack my hands would sting a little from the impact.
However, the minutes turned to hours, and before long it was starting to get a little dark. Bulma was getting a capsule ready so that we could set up camp for the night. It was probably for the best too. She had been in her sleep attire all day, so I can only imagine she's looking forward to changing out of them and into something a bit more fitting. I walked over to Goku and saw him still staring out at the sea.
He didn't seem to be that discouraged by their late arrival. I sighed and leaned down beside Goku. I was going to try and tell him that he probably wasn't coming back but stopped when I saw Goku's face brighten up. When I did I looked out at the ocean and saw a figure slowly approaching us. I was a bit taken back seeing this, I honestly hadn't expected them to return. Goku began jumping with excitement seeing this and I smiled a bit.
At least now I won't have to disappoint him by telling him something he doesn't want to hear. When they arrived Bulma joined us as we listened to what the elderly male had to say. He looked odd, to say the least, old, feeble, with a thick white beard and muscatel, bald, with glasses the hid what color his eyes were.
"Sorry I kept you waiting, I had to go get my master," The turtle said as he looked at us. When they got to the beach the male waved at us.
"Well hello there kids," The male said as he looked at us.
"Hi, welcome to shore," Bulma said as she looked at the male.
"Yeah, hey," I said as I looked at the male.
"What a cool outfit," Bulma said as she looked at the male. When she said this I looked at him and shrugged. I don't know if cool is the word I would use but it was definitely unique, to say the least.
"Kids, I want to thank you for helping my turtle," The male said as he looked at us.
"It was our pleasure mister," Goku said as he looked at the male in front of us. He then jumped off the turtle and onto the beach.
"I'm Roshi the turtle hermit," the male said as he looked at us. Roshi huh? I could have sworn I've heard that name before. Our grandpa must have brought it up but why? Oh well, I'm sure I'll think of it later.
"A turtle hermit?" Bulma asked as she looked at the male in front of her.
"Which one of these kids helped you?" Roshi asked as he looked at the turtle only for him to point towards Goku.
"It's that little boy there," The turtle said as he looked at us. Roshi then walked up to Goku and looked at him.
"You're a brave little boy, and I've got a gift I'd like to give you as thanks," Roshi said as he looked at us. We then watched as he walked over to the beach and took a stance before yelling. "Come magic carpet!" The male said as he took a pose. We waited several moments in silence before the turtle once again spoke up.
"Um, master hold on, you took the magic carpet to the cleaners," The turtle said as he looked at the male.
"Oh yeah, that's right," He said as he scratched his head with the wooden cane. The male then took a thinking pose. "In that case, the only other option is the flying nimbus but I'm not really ready to part with it yet," The male then snapped as if he thought of something before speaking once again. "Why not? If you can ride it then it's yours," He said as he looked at us. Ride it? If that's the case then there's got to be some kind of catch to it as well.
The male then took the same pose as before and like before once again yelled. "Come to me flying nimbus!" Roshi said as he continued to hold the pose.
"He's odd," Goku said.
"He's not odd, he's nuts," Bulma said as she looked at the male. And I couldn't exactly disagree with either of them.
"Now where is that cloud?" Roshi asked as he continued to hold the pose and before long a yellow cloud began to come closer to us. "Ah, there it is. It's about time," Roshi said as the cloud came closer. "There she is, isn't she a beauty?" Roshi asked as he looked at us.
"Yeah, isn't it neat?" Goku asked as he looked at the cloud.
"It certainly is odd," Bulma said and that was a statement I could agree with. I've never seen anything like this. Not even when I was sent to other planets to conquer them did I see something like this.
"Don't be afraid, she's as sweet as candy," Roshi said as he looked at us.
"Wow, it's so light and puffy, do you mind if I have a taste?" Goku asked as he looked at the cloud.
"You don't eat it you little baboon," Roshi said as he looked at the male.
"So what does this thing do?" Bulma asked as she looked at Roshi.
"If you can sit on it then it can fly you to wherever you want to go," Roshi said as he looked at us.
"There must be some kind of catch otherwise you wouldn't be giving it away," Bulma said, and that was my thought as well. "There must be something wrong with it," Bulma said as she looked at the male.
"There's nothing wrong with this cloud!" Roshi said as he looked at us.
"Hey, can I try to ride it now?" Goku asked as he looked at the cloud.
"Sure but I've got to warn you, you must be pure of heart to ride this cloud otherwise it won't let you on it. It's picky that way," Roshi said as he looked at us. So that was the catch, you had to be pure otherwise you couldn't get on. Well, guess that means I'm out of getting to use it then. "Here let an old man show you how it's done," Roshi said as he jumped up onto the cloud and then immediately fell through it.
As soon as he did Bulma burst out laughing, and the turtle went to his side to help him up. Seems like this old man wasn't as pure as he let on. "Alright, now it's my turn," Goku said as he looked at the cloud and jumped up. As he did he landed on the cloud with no issue causing both Roshi and the turtle to look at him clearly surprised.
"Yay! I did it! I did it! I really did it!" Goku said clearly excited about the fact and I smiled. I shouldn't be surprised. We always did try to make sure that Goku was as kind as possible. He'd have to be if he wanted to live here with the rest of us.
"Well I'll be darn, there goes my cloud," Roshi said as he looked at us. From the way, he talked it sounded like he didn't think any of us would be capable of riding the cloud. Goku then began to ride around on the cloud with a smile.
"Hey, what about me?" Bulma asked as she looked at the male. When she did we both turned to look at her. "Aren't you going to give me a gift too?" Bulma asked as she looked at the male only for him to turn and look at the turtle.
"What do you say? Did this young lady help you ask well?" Roshi asked as he looked at him only for the turtle to shake his head.
"No, just the boy," The turtle said as he looked at him.
"Hey! What about the seawater I gave you!" She said as she looked at the two of them in front of her.
"I'm afraid I'll have to agree with turtle on this one. But I could be persuaded to change my mind," The male said as he looked at her. "For instance, if you were uh, to let me see your underwear," Roshi said as he looked at her his face turning a slight shade of red. When he said this Bulma's face turned a bright shade of red as she looked at the male.
"Master, what are you doing?" The turtle asked clearly embarrassed by his master's antics.
"You can't be serious!" Bulma asked as she looked at the male causing him to nod with a perverted grin on his face.
"Have you forgotten the code master? Please that's wrong! So wrong!" Turtle said as he looked at the male.
"Oh shut up will ya! Can't a master take a break from training and have a little fun?!" He snapped back at the turtle.
"Now, I see why you weren't able to ride your cloud," Turtle said clearly disappointed in his master.
"Bite your tongue!" Roshi said as he looked at the turtle. Bulma then looked at me.
"Are you really going to let him get away with this?" Bulma asked as she looked at me.
"I wasn't the one that wanted a reward. Plus I'm not going to look away. The moment you show him your panties I get to see them as well," I said as I looked at her. When she said this her face only became an even brighter red and she reached down to grip her clothes.
"This is so embarrassing, I can't believe I'm doing this," Bulma said before she took a deep breath and then raised her dress revealing her 'panties' to us. As soon as she did I felt my face heat up at the sight in front of me and began to avert my eyes. I had no problem seeing her panties but seeing more than that just caught me a little off guard.
"Alright, there, now what about my gift then," Bulma asked as she looked at the male.
"Right, a gift. Well, I have one in mind," The male said as he began to scratch his head.
"Bulma," I whispered gaining her attention. I then tapped the base of my neck referring to the necklace he was wearing. When I did Bulma looked at the male and began to talk to him once again. As she did I looked up at Goku who was still riding his new cloud. This place really was strange, who would ever want to engineer something that looked like a cloud? I guess I shouldn't complain since we got it for free but still the thought was rather odd, to say the least.
When I returned my gaze to Bulma I saw her walking away rather happily. I smiled seeing this and began to walk into the building with her. Since we're going to be spending the night here I don't see any reason to call Goku in yet. I'll just let him have his fun with his new cloud for now. After a while, I heard Bulma scream and both of us ran into her room to look at her. She was holding her panties and then began to check herself.
"They're not there!" Bulma said as she gained a slightly embarrassed face probably thinking through what had happened earlier that day.
"Oh you found you're underwear," Goku said as he looked at her.
"You knew about this!?" Bulma asked as she looked at him.
"Yeah, I took them off this morning," Goku said as he looked at her.
"You what?!" The two of us said in unison. As he said this Bulma walked away and began to get a gun. I would usually stop something like this from happening but at the moment I couldn't help but feel that Goku deserved it this time. Bulma then began to shoot him and while I knew it wouldn't kill him it would still be hurt him. I sighed after this and walked into my room. As I did I thought back to earlier today and sighed as I stood up.
I'm sure Goku didn't mean anything by what he did but even so, if he had seen her earlier today then I'm not sure what kind of problem could have arisen. Actually, come to think of it he said he took them off which means he probably already saw her. I sighed thinking about this and walked into Goku's room. When I did Goku sat up rubbing his eyes as he looked at me.
"Oh, hey bro what's up?" Goku asked with a slight yawn as he looked at me.
"Goku we can't afford to have another incident like today. I won't lie I've been trying to put this off for a while but after what happened today I don't think I can do that anymore. So I think it's time I finally explain the difference between boys and girls," I said as I looked at the male in front of me.
