Bulma awoke bright and early, not unusual for her but certainly not common either. Usually she only woke up early to work on a project, but today... It was breakfast.

After seeing the looks on both their faces yesterday, she wanted to make Goku and Gohan feel right at home. They'd saved her countless times and she knew they'd do it again should trouble arise. So in her mind this was her way of giving back to her heroes.

"Huh? Oh! Heya Bulma!" Bulma looked behind her to see her mom at the doorway to the kitchen. "That's a lot of food you got there."

"Heh yeah. I'm making breakfast for Goku and Gohan." Bulma stated proudly

Mrs Briefs was shocked for a moment "Really dear?! Oh my. You're gonna need more food than that!" Mrs Briefs then started pulling more food out of the fridge and helping her.

Goku soon awoke bright and early, he and Gohan still had training with Piccolo today and didn't wanna be late. As he was walking next door to Gohan's room though, he caught a whiff of a delicious scent. His loyal nose guided him to the kitchen only to be immediately shoved out of it.

"Oh no you don't! Not yet, Goku." Bulma said as she got him out of the room "You can have some when Gohan wakes up and joins us."

Goku gasped and ran up the stairs at near light speed and almost burst through Gohan's door. "Gohan!"

"Wha?!" Gohan shot up from his sleep in fear

"Food! Downstairs! Hurry!" Goku then left as quick as he came, leaving Gohan to confusingly get dressed as he though about the weird events of this morning.

When Gohan made it to the kitchen, he looked at the table practically stuffed with food as he watched Goku try to resist drooling. Mrs Briefs was sitting down already, as Bulma poured a glass of milk for Gohan. "Come on, Gohan. Let's eat" she greeted with a smile.

Gohan was a surprised, he immediately had flashbacks to morning with his parents. Mom would reluctantly make mountains of food and try to ignore Goku while Goku would be super happy to be around people he loves and dig in.

The scene in front of him was... different. Goku was happy as usual but Bulma looked happy too. Not just for him but for Goku. Maybe it was a coincidence but... He felt so mething there... A comfort that he hadn't felt in a long time.

Once they say down to eat, the war had begun. Goku and Gohan were like starved, wild animals, thankfully Bulma and Mrs Briefs made sure to grab themselves portions prior to letting the boys eat.

After the war of breakfast, Goku stood up "Wow... Thanks you guys! That was awesome! Let us know if we can repay you guys okay?"

Bulma hummed for a moment "Well... Mind helping with the dishes?"

This one statement made Goku freeze up and gulp as he looked at the pile of plates he'd just finished. "W-Well uhhh"

"Pleeeease, Goku?" She whined lightly "I could really use the help"

Goku's expression softened once he thought of doing this chore for Bulma. He hated doing dishes but... Doing then for Bulma sounded okay.

Gohan raised his hand "I'll help t-"

Mrs Briefs hand clasped over Gohan's as he saw there was a finger pressed to her lips telling him to be quiet.

Goku nodded "Alright, Bulma. I'll help ya"

Bulma smiled at him "Great! We won't be doing all of these though. Let's start by putting some in the dishwasher."

Gohan was then guided by Mrs Briefs to the living room as Goku and Bulma got to work. Once the dishwasher was full, Bulma was on wash duty and Goku on dry duty.

After cleaning the dishes in silence for a bit, Bulma spoke up "So. Training again today?"

Goku nodded "Yup! Doing all we can to get stronger."

Bulma chuckled "Classic Goku... Hey? Do... Do you think I could get stronger?"

Goku almost dropped the plate he held "You... Wanna get stronger?"

Bulma thought about it for a moment. At first, she didn't know why she said that but... It would really only give her a bunch of positives. "Yeah. I think it would help me quite a bit. With Vegeta around and the threat of Androids looming, it'd be nice to be able to fly my family to safety in case anything happens, rather than wait on you guys"

Goku smiled wide "I'll train you! You can come with us today!"

"T-Today?!" Bulma saud, taken aback.

Goku nodded "Yeah! As soon as we're done here, we'll go!"

Bulma's mind started racing "But don't you have to focus on training with the guys? It'll take me forever to do anything you guys do!"

Goku nodded "That's true, but I don't really mind. Plus, you wanna get stronger to save others! That alone is worth as much time as it takes to teach you."

Bulma sighed "Screw it. I guess we're doing this"

Goku had a big grin on his face. He was clearly very excited to train her. Once they were done, they told Gohan the new plan, much to his shock. However, once Bulma got dressed and got all she needed, she went outside where the boys stood.

"Wait... I just thought of something. How are we going to get me over there? I can't fly." Bulma asked, puzzled

Next thing she knew, Goku and Gohan were flying off as Goku carried her bridal style while she screamed in fear.

Bulma tried to get used to the sights and thankfully, she could. The energy from Goku surrounded her enough so she could see clearly without the wind in her eyes.

And wow... The view was a sigh to behold. Different than when she would fly in a plane, she could see the entire landscape. Passing fields, farmhouses, small towns and wild animals all caught her eye.

She looked back at Goku who noticed her and shot a smile her way. Filled with untamed joy she brought him close for a makeshift hug, one that Goku didn't refuse.

Once they got to their training grounds, Piccolo was quick to ask why Bulma had come too. Goku then explained his plan and received a worried yet understanding nod from Piccolo before He and Gohan went to train.

"Alright, Bulma. You ready?" Goku asked, getting himself pumped.

Bulma nodded "Yep. Let's get me buffed up, Goku!"

Goku chuckled "Alright then! First, let's measure your speed. This is something Master Roshi did with me and Krillin when we were kids. Got a timer with you?"

Bulma nodded then gave him her phone. She had put it on the timer function so he didn't ask a million questions.

Goku then walked 100 meters from her and Drew a line in the dirt.

Bulma got into a runners stance "Heh... Can't wait to see his face in awe when I fly by him, his jaw is gonna drop"

"Goku raised his hand and chopped down "Go!" He yelled.

Bulma burst from her spot and began running at top speed. By the time she crossed the line she was hyperventilating and nearly fell to her knees. "So? How'd I do?"

Goku smiled at her "25 seconds! Not bad!"

Bulma pumped her fist in the air "Yes! That's more than the average male! What were you and Krillin's?"

"Well Krillin's was 10 seconds I think." Goku wondered

Bulma gasped "What?!"

"And mine was 8 seconds hehehe" Goku rubbed the back of his head shyly

Bulma grunted "You two are literally insane!" She got in his face when she yelled

"N-No were not! We just trained all our lives hehehe" Goku replied nervously, not wanting to feel Bulma's wrath.

Bulma calmed down rather quickly "So you're saying ... This would take forever..."

Goku put his hand gently on her shoulder "Hey." She looked up at him, her hope failing her at the moment "You of all people have been around me long enough to know that anything is possible. With a little help from me? We can get you flying before you know it! Trust me, Bulma. I believe in you"

Bulma blushed and quickly wrapped him in a hug "... Thank you..."

Goku happily hugged her back "No problem, Bulma."

Bulma realized what she was doing and shoved herself off "S-So uh... Let's continue!"

While Piccolo let Gohan rest after a few rounds, he used his Super Namekian hearing to listen in on Goku and Bulma. 'What is he doing... He's wasting precious training time on someone who won't even fight the androids!'

"Mr Piccolo?" Gohan snapped Piccolo out of his thoughts. "Is everything okay?"

Piccolo grunted and looked back at Goku "Tell me, Gohan. Why does your father insist on teaching Bulma."

Gohan looked at them with Piccolo "Well... I think my dad is happy to train someone new, plus it's someone he's known all his life. So I think that my dad is really just having fun. I'm okay with it though. Whenever he's around her, I've noticed his Ki go up a bit"

Piccolo raised a nonexistent eyebrow "Is that right... Whatever... He better not cost us when the androids attack"

Gohan smiled "I trust him. I bet he'll be stronger than ever!"

Piccolo sighed "Enough talk, let's get back to training."

Meanwhile, Goku was preparing Bulma for another lesson.

"Ahhh good stretch!" Goku smiled "Ready Bulma?"

Bulma nodded "So what are we doing now?"

"Well I know your not exactly looking to learn complex fighting styles or anything. Though, I figure a thorough knowledge of the basics can help you understand your body in way you might not have previously known." Goku explained

Bulma was in awe at him for a moment. Sure, he wasn't book smart. But he knew his stuff when it came to physical fitness. "Alright. So... What are we doing?"

Goku chuckled "I'm gonna teach you how to punch!"

"... You want me to just punch?" Bulma chuckled "Goku, that's easy."

"Is it, Bulma?" Goku put his hands on his hips "I bet you'd be surprised to learn it's very hard to perfect a punch. Don't worry though, once you learn it. You never forget it"

Bulma sighed "Fine, just show me"

Goku smiled "Well first, get into a fighting stance."

Bulma only knew one stance and that's the one Goku has used a million times. Once she did it though, Goku walked over to her. "Hmmm not quite yet." He gently grabbed her hand and brought it closer to her body, then loosened her index and middle finger lightly.

Bulma was trying not to blush. She also never realized how good Goku smelled. He must have showered recently. She then felt him grab her legs and adjust them into place as she nearly fainted from embarrassment. 'What the hell is happening?! This is my best friend! MARRIED! best friend! I shouldn't be having these thoughts!'

"Bulma?" Goku said, getting her attention. "How do you feel now?"

Bulma noticed that she had put him into a more solid position "Not that different?"

Goku chuckled "Now... Tighten your muscles, like your going to brace for impact"

Bulma nodded and pictured a man trying to attack her. As soon as she saw it in her mind, she felt her muscles tighten and blocked with her forward arm while shifting to punch with her furthest arm. Once the punch was sent she continued moving and kept the pose solid.

Bulma then blinked "What happened?"

She heard Goku clapping and turned around "Great job, Bulma! You've got a ton of fighter instinct in you."

Bulma laughed almost hysterically "Yes! Before you know it I'll be beating up bad guys too!" She said getting waaaay ahead of herself

"Remember, Bulma." Goku said seriously, getting her attention "Power can be abused. It can be used for selfish ambition to attain ultimately meaningless goals... Try to use power responsibly okay?"

Bulma nodded "Yeah. Sorry about that Goku. I just didn't think I'd be able to do this stuff like... Ever! I'm just glad that I won't be as helpless anymore."

Goku nodded "I know it's not the most flattering skill, but we should work on your speed as well as a bit of strength. If the androids manage to get close then at least you can grab your folks and get outta there"

Bulma nodded "Sounds good. This is kinda fun. Better than dealing with Prince Snobby all day." She chuckled

Goku smiled. Happy that she was enjoying herself.

Goku continued to train Bulma for the rest of the day, teaching her new offensive and defensive stances, teaching her how to use momentum properly with each punch and surprisingly... Bulma was getting it. She understood everything Goku was telling her and it sank into her mind.

Once nightfall came though, Piccolo brought Gohan to them "It's getting late and I plan on meditating tomorrow."

Goku nodded "Well, see you after tomorrow then." He looked to the others "Gohan, Bulma? You guys ready?"

Gohan nodded as Bulma blushed a bit before nodding reluctantly, knowing she had to be held by Goku.

As Goku picked her up though "Goku" he heard Piccolo say

"What's up Piccolo?" Goku responded happily

"Are you sure you want to train her right now? Shouldn't we be getting ready for the androids first thing?" The Namek stated

Bulma immediately felt guilty. She didn't was to take up their training time. After all, these guys were Earth's defense forces and she was selfishly having one of them help her rather than get ready for battle.

"Don't worry, Piccolo. Bulma's worth training." Both her and Piccolo were a bit surprised "Who knows? She might just be able to help out in super important ways! But don't worry. I'll still train with you and Gohan when I can. Okay?"

Piccolo nodded "Just don't get all soft on us."

Goku chuckled "Wouldn't dream of it! Take care Piccolo!" Goku then flew up into the nights sky.

"Bye, Mr Piccolo!" Gohan yelled as he joined his dad. They waited until Piccolo waved to them lightly before departing.

Gohan and Bulma we're definitely tired. Since Piccolo's fusion with Nail he'd gotten considerably stronger and gave Gohan a tough challenge. Bulma had hardly done anything as physical and mind boggling as training to fight, so she was already half asleep.

"Goku..." She asked "Do you mind if I take a nap?"

Goku chuckled "Go right ahead. I'll put you in your room when we get back okay?"

Bulma nodded and, through exhaustion, drifted off to sleep.

Gohan smiled at them, he could tell his dad was happy. It was weird though, considering all the times he'd heard about his adventures with Bulma. He heard about nothing even close to comparing with his mom.

The two Saiyans landed in front of Capsule Corp and made their way inside.

Gohan let out a big yawn "I'm gonna get ready for bed. Night, Dad."

Goku nodded "Okay. Night, son."

Goku took Bulma to her room and carefully opened the door so he wouldn't wake her. As he walked in the room though, a pair of eyes caught him and decided to wait outside for him.

Goku had accidentally woken Bulma due to trying to lift her blanket with her in his arms. Thankfully though, once she was put on the bed she smiled at him "Thanks... Goodnight, Goku"

Goku pet her head "Night, Bulma. Sweet dreams"

Goku then exited the door and closed it for her. He let out a small yawn "Yup. About that time." He turned to his room only to see someone blocking him. He waved "Oh. Hey, Vegeta."

Author-sama "TENSION!... Kinda... Well either way. Hope you guys enjoy this. I've read fanfics of Bulma being trained by Goku. Those are well and good but I don't understand why they don't allow Bulma to let loose at all. I want her to be more free spirited here."

"See you guys in the next one. Love you guys! May God bless you all XD"
