Chapter 4 - A Scarecrow Named Goku

Bulma walked for what seemed like days, but was really only a few hours. Finally she came into a small clearing, in which there was a fork in the road. "Oh great!" she exclaimed. She put her hands on her hips and looked down both roads. "Dende didn't say anything about a fork in the road! NOW which way do I go?"

"Well, that depends on where you're going." said a familiar cheerful voice.

"Goku?!" asked Bulma in an excited tone as she spun around to find him standing behind her.

"Hey Bulma!" he grinned. "Ya lost?" Bulma nodded. "Well then!" Goku continued. "If you're going to get your hair cut, you wanna make a left. Buuuut if you're going for a nice day of boating on Fruit Lake, make a right. Or...maybe that's RIGHT for the hair cut and LEFT for the lake...or maybe...I don't know..." He sat down on the ground and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Sounds like you're lost, too!" Bulma laughed.

"Heh, yeah..." Goku answered. "I was on my way to some tutoring lesson that Gohan signed me up for, but then I kinda forgot where he told me to go!" He chuckled a bit. "What are YOU doing here?"

"Well, I'm not really sure..." answered Bulma. "One minute Trunks was waking me up yelling about a tornado, and the next minute I was waking up here in Odds."

"Wow! Sounds confusing!" he said through his usual grin.

"Tell me about it." said Bulma. "So now I'm trying to find my way to the wizard's castle so he can hopefully get me back home."

"A wizard, huh? Hmm..." Goku thought for a moment. "Do you think this wizard could make me smarter? Then I wouldn't need that tutoring lesson!"

"I guess it's worth a try!" grinned Bulma. "Now all we have to figure out is...which path takes us to Vegetable City?"

"Definitely left" answered Goku confidently.

"Are you sure?" asked Bulma. Goku nodded, and they headed down the left road.

"Wait!" yelled Goku as he stopped suddenly. "We need to go right. I remember now. Right to Vegetable City, left to Fruit Lake."
"Will you make up your mind?!" Bulma exclaimed angrily.

Goku stepped back a bit. "I'm sorry Bulma! But I'm sure now. We need to go right."

Bulma sighed. "Fine! But if this ends up being the wrong way, you are SO dead Goku!"

"Believe me, if this isn't the right way, I'll deserve it." Goku agreed
