Not as fast as I used to update, but quicker than last time! Here's another chapter of Ordinary Family! I don't own DBZ, but eh. Whatever. Before you say anything, this is loose-script, which means I'm not following the actual lines from the series. And yes, I also know that Goku was originally 12 when he started his quest for the dragon balls, but he is younger in mine. Thank you!

Last time, on An Ordinary Family, Goku and Bulma set out on their journey to find the dragon balls, while Vegeta left planet Earth in search of adventure as well.

Chapter 25;

Bath...? What's a bath?

Goku and Bulma are riding along on the Capsule Bike when Bulma notices that it's getting dark out. Bulma pulls the bike over to an empty are and puts it back into its capsule.

"Why'd we stop, Bulma?" Goku asked.

"We're setting up camp." she said as she got out a different capsule.

"We are? Do you have a tent or something?"

"Nope. I have a dino cap, though." she threw the capsule to the ground and a small house appeared.

"Wow, cool! Father said our house does that, too!" Goku smiled.

"Your house is a capsule house?" Bulma asked.

"I guess." the young Saiyan shrugged.

"My dad makes dino caps for a living, you know. I help him when I can." Bulma explained.

"So your dad designed our house? Awesome!" Goku said and ran off into the woods.

"Hey! Where are you going!" Bulma yelled.

"To go get somethin to eat! What else?" Goku explained.

"Eat inside like a civilized person..." Bulma sighed.

"Okay..." Goku agreed sadly and walked inside.

"Supper will be ready in a few minutes. I think you can wait until then. You're not going to starve or anything.

"Are you SURE about that?" Goku said, and his point was proven by his stomach which growled fiercely.

"Yes, I'm sure. Now come on." Bulma confirmed and dragged Goku into the capsule house by his arm.

"You don't have to pull me!" Goku protested.

"Eh." Bulma shrugged and then dropped him.

"I miss father and Raditz..." he sighed sadly.

"Ew...my hand wreaks now. When's the last time you took a BATH?" Bulma groaned in disgust.

"A...bath? What's that?" Goku asked.

"You don't know what a bath is? Maybe THAT'S why your hair stands up..." Bulma said as she picked him up by his shirt as far away from her face as she could and took him to the bathroom, "I guess I have to show you..." she turned the knobs on the tub to get the water running, "Take your clothes off."

"Okay." Goku did as ordered quickly, "What now?"

"Now you get in." she pointed to the tub.

"Okay."

"You follow orders a lot, don't you?"

"Is it wrong to do what your told, Bulma?" Goku asked innocently.

"...No. Now, I'm only going to do this for you once, then your doing it on your own from now on, got it?"

"Mm kay!" Goku nodded.

Bulma took the soap and began to scrub Goku's body.

"It's important that you clean your back, too." Bulma instructed.

"I can do that." Goku said and grabbed the soap with his tail, "See?"

"Ah! That's a REAL tail!" Bulma exclaimed. (She didn't think Vegeta's tail was real either. She always thought it was a fuzzy belt)

"Yeah. Aren't you a Saiyan?" Goku asked.

"Say-what?" Bulma asked quietly.

"Oh, I get it! You're a human!" Goku smiled.

"Uh-huh..." Bulma nodded.

"So humans don't have tails?" the young Saiyan asked.

"NO WE DO NOT! ARE YOU SOME KIND OF HALF-BREED OR SOMETHING!" Bulma shrieked.

"Half-breed? What does that mean?"

"It means when one thing, say a human, breeds with a different thing, like a monkey." Bulma explained.

"Oh...nope! I never got to meet my mother, but I don't think she was a monkey...my brother's told me about her, and he said she was a Saiyan, too."

"Aw...how sad...but what exactly IS a Saiyan?"

"My father told me that Saiyans are a warrior race from the planet Vegeta."

"So Saiyans are...aliens? And your home planet's named after MY boyfriend? Wow..."

"Vegeta's the prince. It's too bad our planet got hit by a meteorite a few days ago and blew up..." Goku sighed.

"I'm dating a prince..." Bulma said dreamily, ignoring the other part of what Goku said.

"Bulma, is this bath thing over yet?" Goku asked, interrupting Bulma's day dreaming.

"Huh...? Oh, yeah. Just dry off, okay?" She said as she handed him a towel, "See? You smell MUCH better now. And you look a lot cleaner, too."

"I do?" Goku asked as he sniffed his shoulder, "I can't tell."

"Ugh...Just go get some clothes..." Bulma sighed.

"Okay!" Goku said as he left the bathroom in search of his clothes. Bulma had stripped down and got into the tub when Goku came back in, "I just realized I left my clothes in here."

"AH! GET OUT!" she screamed.

"Why? You saw me naked?" he asked.

"Because it's different! You're a little kid, I'm almost an adult! Not to mention, I'm a lady, so GET OUT!" she said as she started to throw things at Goku.

"Yikes! I'm going! I'm going!" he yelled as he grabbed his clothes and ran, "She sure is mean..."

"I HEARD THAT, TWERP!" she screamed.

"I'm hungry..." he sighed quietly.

"Well you can wait until I'm done. Now go!"

"Okay..."

I wonder if Kakarot's okay... Raditz thought as he was getting ready for bed. (Oh if only he knew...)

About 30 minutes later, Bulma finally got out of the bathroom and got the poor little Saiyan child his dinner.

"Yuck! What's this stuff?" Goku spat after drinking some coffee.

"It's coffee, stupid." Bulma barked.

"I'm gonna go catch my own dinner..." Goku sighed as he left.

Meanwhile, at a small palace somewhere on Earth.

"Mai, Shu, I want you to go find the dragon balls! Waste no time!" a small blue man ordered.

"Yes, Emperor Pilaf." the woman who was bowing at his feet replied.

"Emperor Pilaf, the radar has given us the coordinates of one of the dragon balls!" the dog who was sitting at a larger version of the dragon radar.

"Oh really, Shu? How far away is it?" the short blue man, Emperor Pilaf, asked excitedly.

"5 meters!" Shu announced, jumped down from the chair he was in, and looked around for it. He came to a small red box where he saw the dragon ball! "Found it, Emperor Pilaf!"

"THAT'S THE ONE WE ALREADY FOUND YOU IDIOT!" Pilaf yelled.

"Yikes! Sorry, sire! The radar says there's another one in the woods near by, though." Shu said, too.

"Well then GO GET IT!" Pilaf ordered.

"Yes, sir!" the woman said as she got up and walked off with the dog. "Agent Mai is on duty."

Back at the Saiyan house...

"It's so boring here without Kakarot..." Bardose sighed.

"Tell me about it..." Raditz agreed.

"Aw, c'mon you two! Don't look so down!" Kite said, trying to cheer them up.

"I guess you're right..." Raditz sighed as he got up.

"I know I'm right. I might have severe amnesia, so I can't remember my past, but I'm no idiot." Kite said in a know-it-all voice. Then she leaned down and kissed Raditz on the cheek.

"What the-!" Raditz exclaimed. He could feel his face turning red, Does she like me like I like her!

"I can kinda tell you like me Raditz. And that proves my case." Kite giggled and then winked to him.

Raditz x Kite action! For all of you romantics out there. Oh! I though of an idea today, but it's too early on to use it! Darn! I bet you guys would all like it! I won't spoil it though, I just hope I remember! If you guys would like a slight HINT, ask in your review. If I get 3 requests for a hint, I shall give one. The hint won't be too big. I'm basically just putting this is so I'll remember my idea! Lame, I know. So...that was it for this chapter! Sorry updating took a while, but being the younger sibling isn't quite easy, especially when there's only ONE computer in the house...
