Chapter 2: New Adventure
Meanwhile on earth.
"Hey Bulma, What's up" said Goku.
"Oh. My. Gosh, Goku! Stop zapping yourself out of thin air you nearly gave me a heart attack" screamed Bulma. She hated it when he would use his transporting trick on a daily basis. 'Can't he act normal for once' thought Bulma.
"Oh sorry Bulma, thought you would be used to it by now. I guess not" laughed Goku.
"Obviously you have not learned the first thousands of times Goku" 'the nerve of him' she thought. "Anyways, what are you doing here? I'm quite busy at the moment. So I hope that whatever you have to say is important; Well?" said Bulma. It annoyed her whenever someone would interrupt her while she was working.
"Well I was wondering if you could fix the Dragon radar. I think I broke it. It won't show where the Dragon balls are, only a blank black screen; see" he gave her the radar so she could examine it.
"Well by the looks of it I think it has just malfunctioned, not to worry I can have it fixed in 5 minutes or less. But before I do so, why are you in search for the dragon balls Goku?" asked Bulma curiously. 'I smell an adventure, oh yes something fun to do for once. Beats doing all this work' thought Bulma.
"To make a wish silly why else would I go in search for the dragon balls Bulma" laughed Goku, scratching the back of his head.
"I know that you moron. I meant why are you going to make a wish?" asked Bulma.
"Well I haven't told anyone yet but Chi chi has been sick lately, and the doctors don't know what's wrong with her. I'm really worried about her, so I was hoping that maybe Shenron can fix her illness. I don't want to lose her and neither does Gohan. He and Chi chi's father is looking after her until I gather all the dragon balls" said Goku, with a sad expression on his face.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that Goku. I'll be happy to help you find them, it would help speed up the process" said Bulma. This cheered Goku up.
"Really? Wow Thanks Bulma you're the best" said Goku as he wrapped his arms around her and gave her a hug.
"Ok, ok that's enough big guy. Look since I'm working on this, go and see what my mother has on for lunch I know you are probably hungry" said Bulma.
"Oh I sure am, thanks again Bulma" said Goku.
"Hey before you go, I'm curious as to how you managed to take Chi chi to see a doctor without freaking out. Thought you hated Hospitals Goku?" asked Bulma.
"Well actually I didn't, I got her father to take her" replied Goku while rubbing the back of his head feeling guilty.
"That explains it. Well you can go now once I'm finished ill come get you ok and then we can leave" said Bulma
"Cool" said Goku. He walked out of the room and headed straight for the kitchen.
"Well let's get to work Bulma" she said to herself.
Half an hour later...
"Hey Goku; sorry i took a while but i managed to build another radar to make it easier for us to find the dragon balls. It will enable us to split up on our own to find them, also I have these wrist bands that are similar to walkie talkies, but better of course. It will help us communicate with each other, I hope you know how to use them or do I have to show you?" asked Bulma.
"Shouldn't be that hard" laughed Goku.
"Sometimes you worry me Goku. Anyways, where was I? Oh yes, don't worry i am aware that i cannot fly like you so i also built this booster for my aircraft to make it much faster" said Bulma.
"Wow Bulma you really are a genius you know that" said Goku.
"Tell me something i don't know" replied Bulma.
"Well did you know that I'm hungry, like now" said Goku, while rubbing his stomach.
"You'll never change Goku" laughed Bulma.
"Don't worry sweetie I packed some food for the both of you for your trip" said Mrs. Briefs. She handed the bag to Bulma.
"Thanks Mum" said Bulma.
"Yeah thanks Mrs. B" said Goku
"See you when we get back mum, bye" said Bulma, waving to her mother.
"Bye sweetie" smiled Mrs. Briefs.
Bulma took out one of her capsules from her back pack and threw it on to the ground. As the buff of smoke cleared her aircraft came in to view.
"There's my baby, now I just have to attach the booster on the back of my aircraft" said Bulma. She threw another capsule to the ground and a large metal device appeared, she simply picked it up and hooked it onto the back of the aircraft and bolted it in.
"Done, not bad if I say so myself" said Bulma.
"Ok are we ready to go now Bulma?" asked Goku.
"Yep. Oh here you need your radar and wrist band I will contact you when I have found some dragon balls ok" said Bulma.
"Ok Bulma, see you soon and stay safe ok" said Goku. He shot into the sky and began his search. 'Don't worry Chi chi you'll get better soon, I'll make sure of it' thought Goku.
Bulma watched as Goku flew into the distance. "Well this should be an interesting journey" said Bulma.
"Well that's 3 Dragon balls I found and by the looks of it Goku has found 3 as well" said Bulma as she looks at the 3 glowing dots on the dragon radar. "I wonder where the other one is" Bulma adjusts the radar so she could locate the last dragon ball. "What? That's strange; it says it's out of the earth's atmosphere. I better tell Goku" Bulma pushes the button on her wrist band to contact Goku.
"Bulma, I'm on my way to you. I found 3 of the dragon balls" said Goku.
"That's great Goku I did as well, but we may have a problem" said Bulma.
"What's wrong?" asked Goku.
"Well the last Dragon ball isn't on earth its located somewhere in space" said Bulma.
"Space? Since when does Shenron send them to space, i thought they only spread out here on earth? " asked Goku.
"I have no idea Goku, but I'm on my way back to Capsule corp. If the last one is in space we need to talk to my father, he may have something that we can use to take us into space, so meet me there ok" said Bulma.
"Alright on my way" replied Goku, as he flew faster to his destination.
"Space did you say dear?" said Dr. Briefs. He tapped he index finger on his chin.
"Yes daddy space. We need that spaceship you have been working on, up and running now, so we can get the last dragon ball. Its important daddy" said Bulma.
"I just have to run some test on it just to make sure its stabled, so it may not be ready till tomorrow though" said Dr. Briefs.
"Tomorrow? Father i said now and not a moment later! so get on with it" yelled Bulma. She stormed out of the lab and to her bedroom.
"They grow up so fast don't they young man?" asked Dr. Briefs.
"What does?" said Goku, scratching his head.
"Outer space, i wonder what we will find, other than the dragon ball. I must bring some equipment so i can get samples, it may come in handy" said Bulma, as she backed an extra large bag full of clothes and another full of equipment. As she tried to zip her bags, there was a knock on her door.
"Bulma dear, i have finished the ship. It is in good condition and i filled the tank to full. Should be enough for your journey there and back" said Dr. Briefs.
"Ok ill be down in a second dad" replied Bulma.
Bulma threw her bags down the stairs and then took them to her backyard where the ship was. She saw Goku standing near the ship admiring the structure.
"Well are you ready for another adventure together Goku?" asked Bulma as she threw the bags inside the ship.
"I guess i just hope we can get that dragon ball in time" said Goku.
"We will Goku don't worry" said Bulma.
She started the ship and let the engine come to life. She waved goodbye to her parents, and the ship then lifted off the ground and shot through the sky, once that ship sped through the earths atmosphere it slowed down once it hit space. Bulma set the coordinates that the dragon radar was showing and also put the ship on Autopilot and took a seat next to Goku.
'grrr'
"Goku was that your stomach?" asked Bulma.
"Yeah, I'm kind of hungry" laughed Goku.
'Lucky mother filled the kitchen with tons of food knowing Goku appetite. This is going to be one long journey' thought Bulma.
