Chapter Two: Goku and Bardok

Dear Diary,

I don't know what is happening but all of a sudden my life has changed. I'm meeting new people. And I just hope that I can see ChiChi again…

Bulma's eyes started to open and she winced as she felt pain all over her body. She looked up and stared into two large black eyes which stared back at her. She let out a scream. The person staring at her started to scream too.

"Who are you?" she said, feeling scared. The other person, a young man with wild black hair, stopped screaming.

"Oh hi, I'm Goku. Are you feeling alright?"

Bulma nodded. "I think so. Did you save me? Well, thanks."

Goku shook his head. "No, it wasn't me. It was my father." His eyes moved across the room and she followed them. She saw a man who looked a lot like Goku. He seemed to be doing some sort of training. She started to sit up. She felt pain in her leg.

"Ow, that hurt!" she yelped. The man stopped training and walked towards her.

"You're finally awake. My name is Bardok. What is yours?" the man asked.

"Well, I'm Bulma, how did you find me in that storm?" Bulma asked. She then looked confused as she saw the man staring at her strangely.

"I was trying to get home and saw you lying on the ground," Bardok finally said.

Bulma suddenly remembered something. "Did you happen to also find this girl with black hair?" she asked.

Bardok shook his head. "No, I only found you."

Bulma let out a sigh. I hope that ChiChi is alright, she thought.

"You really need some rest, I'm going back training," Bardok said.

Bulma nodded and rested back down. She closed her eyes and then dozed off.

A few hours later…

Bulma woke up and realised it was night time. Her stomach grumbled and she was very hungry. She got out of bed. She was still in pain but she felt better than before. She started walking across the room and looked out the window. Her eyes opened wide and she was amazed at what she saw. Outside, she saw Bardok and Goku sparring. They were moving so fast that she could barely see them.

Bulma watched them train for nearly an hour. They finally stopped and decided to rest. She walked outside.

"Hey! That was really great! How did you two become so good at fighting?" she asked. Bardok turned to her. "It all comes from the blood," he said. She didn't exactly understand what he meant.

"Oh, well, I wish that I could fight really well like you guys. But I'm just kidding myself," she laughed, "being used to growing up in a house as a servant and being beaten up nearly every day, I think that would be every servant's dream!"

Goku's eyes lit up. "I know! My father and I can teach you how to train if you really want to learn how to fight. How about starting tomorrow?"

Bulma smiled gratefully. "Really? That would be so good! You two are so kind."

Bardok nodded. "We try our best to help others. Well, I'll leave you two to talk. I'm going to be preparing dinner." He then walked inside the small cottage.

Bulma turned to Goku. "So, how long have you lived here for?" she asked.

"Well, for quite awhile, since my planet got destroyed-" he suddenly stopped when he saw Bulma give him a strange look.

"You mean, you came from another planet, just like those enemies that occasionally attacks earth?" she asked.

Goku nodded. "Yes, true, but unlike those enemies, I'm not a bad guy. I only came here because my own planet got destroyed."

Bulma stared at the ground, ashamed about what she said before. "Oh, I see. Well, I wish that I could know more about myself."

Goku looked at her confused. "What do you mean?"

Bulma took a deep breath. "I am an orphan. I don't know who my parents are. Well, there was a man who used to take care of me but he died. That was 12 years ago. I was only five years old. And then I got sold to Lady Riyuka's household."

"What? You got sold??" Goku asked, sounding shocked.

Bulma nodded. "Yes, I have been Lady Riyuka's servant for 12 years. That's where I met my best friend, ChiChi. I wish I knew where she was right now. She was with me that night but she disappeared in the storm."

Goku put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm sure ChiChi will be alright."

Bulma gave him a small smile. "Well, thanks for saving my life. I probably wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for your father."

Goku stood up. "We're happy to have saved you. Now come on, let's go back inside. And don't forget, training will start tomorrow."

He walked towards her house and Bulma stood up and followed him in.
