Idea 4: Dragon Ball Genesis (DBG)
In this story, the different alien races of the Dragon Ball mythos have been extinct for thousands, perhaps millions of years. Explorers have discovered the fossilized remains of the races on their home planets and Earth's scientists are working to resurrect them In the hopes of studying them.
The story begins thirty years later in a breeding facility, where they experiment to see how the races reproduce. The scientists give successful batches project names, naming the first unit after the project. This is where we are introduced to project Kakarot, of which Goku is unit 2 of 4.
Goku wakes up a month before he is scheduled to and has a falling out with his twin, Kakarot(aka Unit 1). Vegeta, the oldest living unit in the facility, comes up with a plan. Let Goku go and integrate into human society while Kakarot remains behind. This would give the scientists a proper trial on how Saiyans live when presented with different paths. It would also give Vegeta something to look forward to, as he is curious which unit will be the strongest.
Goku will find his way to Capsule Corp, where Bulma will let him stay. Goku will end up getting a job as a construction worker when he is offered the job after effortlessly catching steel beams before they crushed someone. In his free time, Goku trains, explores the city, or helps doctor Briefs with his experiments. For the latter, he's usually just doing the heavy lifting.
This may or may not end up being a Goku x Bulma story, I don't know yet, but Bulma's friends will end up making comments that fly over Goku's head.

Preview:
Bulma threw some clothes at Goku. A pair of boxers, a navy blue T-shirt, some socks and an orange jacket with blue sleeves.
"I hope you like orange," Bulma said, tossing him a pair of orange cargo pants, "it's the only pair we have in your size."
Bulma left the room so Goku could change. Goku looked to his right and saw a mirror. This was the first time he was his reflection since he left the facility. He was covered in dirt and grime. The pants Vegeta made him put on before leaving were stained, possibly from his trip through the sewer. The door opened.
"Before you change," Bulma started, not coming in in case Goku was naked, "there's a shower through that door over there," she pointed to a door on the opposite side of the room as the mirror, "us it to clean yourself up."
After a quick shower, Goku got dressed, using pictures from a men's fashion magazine as an example. He tucked the shirt in, zipped the jacket up and folded the collar down. He left the room and found Bulma waiting for him. She looked him over.
"Good," she commented, "but your hair ruins the look," she tried to pat his hair down, only to have it spring back up, "OK? Maybe if I..." she unzipped his jacket, untucked his shirt and flipped his collar up, "perfect, a somewhat scruffy look for messy hair. And also," she looked at his tail, "this look compliments your tail more. Now come on, we need to get you some shoes."
Ok, what do you think?
