Goku looked expectantly at Bulma as she stopped the car and got out- They had only been on the road for half and hour in the strange 'motorbike' contraption- and she already needed something.

"Excuse me…" Bulma stated before running from the car.

"Hey! Where ya' goin?" Goku asked, looking at her retreating back.

"To the bathroom! Dufus!" She complained from a distance "Don't you know what a girl means when she says 'excuse me'?!"

Goku just stared at her until she was out of site, he silently pondered to himself…

"Why can't she jus' go to tha' bathroom like a normal person?" He lowered his blond head in extreme thought, trying to work out the enigma that was 'girl' when he heard a loud scream from the distance.

"Argh! Help meeeeeee!"

"O yeah- like NOW she wants me to follow her!" Goku complained, grabbing the rouge staff from his back. He darted to where he had heard the noise originate from to see a burly beast holding Bulma in it's clawed appendage- The saiyan could do anything but stifle his growl.

The pterodactyl stuttered at the dangerous look from the blond being, and gave it it's best, most sinister explanation.

"Hello- you must be one of my friend's friends…"

"Let her go…" Goku hissed, unable to control the blazing gold aura that erupted round him, one he had been able to control since a heartbreaking event in his life.

Sensing that he could not trick this being, the creature took into the air on its massive wings. It soared at high altitude with the screaming girl until the golden nomad materialised in front of him.

"What did I tell you!? Let her go nowww!" Goku screamed, a fresh wave of anger sending his aura spiralling outward, and the beast spiralling back. The Pterodactyl glowered at the man.

"Alright!" He hissed, sinisterly "I'll let her go!" And that he did. Bulma was sent hurtling towards the earth, at an outstanding speed. Goku flew down at an even greater one and caught her, turning up to the beast again.

"Kusotare!" Goku yelled, freeing and arm and holding it up. A blue blast was the last thing seen, by the flying lizard, that was, when he lost his head.

Goku looked down to the shaken bundle in his arms. He looked confusedly at her, and she smiled shaking at him.

"My god… I nearly peed my pants.." Bulma Briefs breathed out, wrapping her arms around the saiyan's neck and giving him her best hug.

"Th-thankyou… thankyou…" She stuttered, even as she was set on the ground. She looked up into the deep turquoise eyes that were unusually close to hers. She closed her own eyes, and unknowingly puckered her lips for the hero to claim his kiss…

"You look like a monkey when you do that!" Goku grinned, causing Bulma to open her eyes and jump back in a fit of rage. She glared at Goku.

"Look who's talking!" Bulma retorted, referring to Goku's tail.

"Hey! Don't insult my saiyan heritage!" Goku whined- then froze. Bulma did too.

"-What's a saiyan…?" Bulma asked nervously, observing the man from a distance. Goku looked at her with equal confusion written across his visage.

"I- I don't know…" he looked down at his hands shamefully, sighing "I don't know 'cuz I hit my head as a baby…" He continued.

"Wha- you mean you have amnesia?" Bulma asked, now more interested in the boy's past than in what a 'saiyan' was.

Goku nodded briefly, before sitting down on a knocked over log. Bulma joined him to his side. She placed a comforting hand over the saiyan's.

"I- I wish I did 'member, before… then it wouldn't have happened…" He stated, drops of crystal forming at the sides of his eyes. Bulma looked at him with new-found sympathy.

"Tell me what you know? OK?" She asked soothingly. The blond haired angel nodded his head briefly, his eyes still downcast.

"When I was little- I didn't have parents like you did- mine died- I think, 'cuz I can't sense 'em… I remember my dad though, he was kind- he looked like me- or my other self… it's all I can 'member 'bout 'im…"

Bulma nodded, then froze in confusion "Other self?" Bulma asked, looked at the nomad for answers.

"Yes my other self- you know- when you 'change?'" Goku looked at the girl, confused as to why she didn't know about the 'other selves'.

"Change?" Bulma asked, looking to the man for answers, again. He scowled, before turning his head away- then something- strange to say the least happened. He closed his eyes and his hair sloped into a black wave shape, when he opened his eyes, they were deep black- alienly dark.

"Wha- wha-!" Bulma jumped up from the log. She was more then scared over the transformation and moved away from the being until she saw the sorrow in his deep, black eyes.

"This is what Papa' looked like" He continued his story. " I remember him calling to me before he died, defeat- defeat…" Goku trailed off, unsure of whom- or what the word was.

Bulma returned to his side, mesmerised by the tale. She sat back on the log and stared at his thoughtful appearance- she realised now that he was anything but stupid.

"I can't remember much afta' that- until a point where my head hurt a lot- Granpa' kept tellin' me I was lucky to survive sucha' big fall…"

"and-" Bulma prompted. Even though the sun was continuously growing closer to the horizon.

"An' Granpa' looked after me den'. I couldn't 'member anythin', not even my name so he called me Son Goku. We did special trainin' an' Kami even called us to let me train ina' special room."

"Special room?" Bulma asked, varyingly shocked… kami- saiyans, special room, aliens…

"N'hmn! I gots' real strong in dere! I learn'd to fly too- granpa' could only stay a day a week for dose' years… I was strong enough to stay allllllll the time in' da' room!"

Bulma absorbed the information slowly, watching the figure before her turn from sorrow, to joy, to sorrow again.

"I'm so sorry granpa'" Goku whimpered before turning away from Bulma and standing, he began to walk away.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Bulma stood up also, watching the now black- haired man's hunched shoulders.

"I'm going home- I'm too dangerous to be round ya'… round anybody…" Goku whimpered, a dark wet spot appearing on the dusty ground.

"What do you mean?" Bulma called, grabbing him by the shoulders and forcing him round to face her. She nearly jumped back at what she saw- tears trailing down slightly red cheeks. Eyes flashing from the deepest most sorrowful black to the richest, most emotional turquoise.

"How are you dangerous?" Bulma asked, hand firmly on his shoulder. She gave him a stern look before he succumbed to the deep sobs and hiccups that threatened to tear open his soul.

"I - I can' halp I-it…" He wept "Tha' a- moon… so…" he bit down on his bottom lip and stiffened, both being visible to Bulma even though she was embracing him tightly.

"Shh… it's OK…" Bulma reassured him. "it's just a moon"

Goku stilled a bit before nodding and pulling back away from her.

"I- ah- I guess… but-" He paused " but never let me look at it- please?" He asked, eyes threatening to turn into mournful waterfalls again.

Bulma rubbed his shoulder briefly before giving him the best smile she could muster.

"Okay Son-kun. I'll make sure, I promise… Now how abouts' we set up camp 'ay?"

A brief nod and they were off to find a spot to set up a capsule house.
