Bulma returned to Goku's, her legs had turned to jelly; she was covered from head to toe in mud and looked like she hadn't seen a bath in months.
"Never ever again Goku" she vowed as she flopped down on the little sofa in the lounge leaving trails of mud everywhere she went. It had been successful not due to Bulma's help; but Goku had managed to catch an Elfalope, which was a huge grazing animal with large horns.
He was outside that minute gutting the animal and preparing it to be cooked on a fire outside; it was too large to bring inside the small house; and also it would have left a nasty trail of blood and tissue; Bardock would have been less than amused when he returned home.
Looking over Bulma saw a picture on the wall; it was the only one in the whole living room; their was a young smiling Goku, Radditz was standing posing with a ki in his hand; with his father Bardock behind him. On the left hand side next to Goku was their mother Celion. She was naturally very beautiful; she had long curly hair and a gorgeous smile. Her eyes looked similar to Goku's rather than Radditz they were big and blue. The family looked so happy and whole.
Celion had died of a virus many years ago when Goku had been a small child; it had been shortly after the photo had been taken. Radditz was only ten at the time; it was then that the youngest born decided to change his birth name from Kakkorot to Goku.
It was what she had wanted to call him at birth; but Bardock had rejected this and named him after an ancient Sayan warrior who saved many from a tragic flood including Bardocks grandfather.
'Poor Goku" she sighed as she looked away from the picture; it was then that she noticed the flowers underneath it; Bardock had been a bit of a sweet heart for a Sayan. According to Bulma's father he had fallen in love with Celion the moment he laid eyes on her. Giving her flowers and other gifts whenever he had the opportunity. They were destined for each other; Bulma assumed the flowers were from him to his dead mate.
Vegeta awoke to the smell of roasting Chidallon; licking his lips he inspected his meal to see if it was cooked enough; the sun had been thumping down onto him for a couple of hours and he was beginning to feel slightly nauseaus; cursing himself that he didn't go into the cave to nap he pulled the large carcass off the fire and began to bite into it. Scrumptious wasn't the word for it; he quickly finished off every scrap leaving only the bones.
The meal made him feel a little better; deciding he needed some more rest he retreated back to the castle for a lay-down.
"Well Goku. I must compliment you on your cooking skills; this tastes really really nice!" Bulma said grabbing another leg of the dead Elfalope. It had been too long since she had eaten real meat; usually all what was left at her aunts was the morsels and scraps nobody else wanted. Since moving in a few weeks ago Bulma had lost a considerable amount of weight, but it made her look even better to Serena and her aunts disappointment.
"Thanks. Eat all you want I'll eat more later I'll go hunting again. It looks like you need to put some weight on," Goku said eying up Bulma's new figure in a disapproving way.
" Much appreciation Goku but really I cant." Then she thought about it. "Maybe I'll smuggle some home to eat later though." She said biting her lower lip. "So how's Radditz getting on Planet purging?" she asked as she placed the leg bone on the floor and dusted her muddy clothes down, It didn't make much difference.
"He's a baka. He loves it, the girls, the fighting, the stealing." Goku said sternly as he sipped his glass of blue drink. For once in his lifetime the teenage Sayan seemed to be deep in thoughts.
"Yeah Radditz always did like those things… he was always getting himself into trouble!" Bulma said smiling; she didn't realise it but it was the first time she had properly smiled in many weeks since her parent's tragic deaths.
Goku began to laugh as he put his drink on the table next to him and looked over at the photo; quickly he glanced back to Bulma.
"Do you remember that time he was arrested after getting caught in the woman's changing rooms with that pretty girl?"
Bulma began to laugh aloud, "Remember it; it was like it was only yesterday! Poor Radditz how was he to know she was his cousin"
Goku began to giggle as he reminisced, "Yeah I've never met her before; saying that I remember father making me call her parents aunt and uncle.. Hmm figures."
"To be fair, she did lead him on first of all… hey remember that time in the bar when he caused that brawl!" Bulma laughed; flopping back on the squashy sofa.
"Nah remember the time when he got the Sergeant of the entire Sayan army stuck in quick sand!? Now that was funny!" Goku smiled, he missed spending time with his brother.
"- And Deliberate! If I recall you helped him" Bulma said beaming, the conversation was making her forget everything bad that was happening in her life at the precise time.
"Man I've missed these chats B.. Life's not the same," Goku suddenly answered glumly.
"I've missed them too, but I promise I'm going to sneak out and see you whenever I can, it's quite a flight but it's the only thing keeping me sane." Bulma said honestly as she began to pick up the bones off the floor and carted them outside to chuck in the rubbish hole. The moment she exited Goku's little house the sun hit her; she had forgotten how hot it actually was outside.
Quickly she emptied the rubbish into the hole, which had fast flowing water running at the bottom and carted the bones and scraps away to a faraway dumping site.
Recently the more richer Sayans were shooting their trash out into space; it had been one of her fathers companies ideas; the waste goes into a capsule which is blasted far away into the wilderness of space to float about and be someone else's problems.
Goku had to make do with the 'river hole', which was when the trash gets chucked down the hole and is carried away by the extremely strong currents.
She entered back into the house quickly; she caught her reflection in a mirror that was tilted carelessly across a back wall; she was freaked out at how muddy she really was, she hadn't noticed it had gone all over her face and in her hair.
"Goku…" she pleaded in her sweetest tone she had,
'Oh no what does she want' Goku thought in his head but didn't say it out aloud he was far too nice for that.
"Could I borrow your shower?" she asked pointing obviously to her hair and the mud that was sticking to her skin.
"Yeah sure! Slight problem their however… Radditz and I kinda broke it… " Goku dropped off; Bulma's face fell.
"What!!!!! So your telling me I've got to fly home looking like a… like a, I don't even know what I look like!" Bulma screamed as she began to pull at her hair.
"Well… yes and no, you see we have our baths in the garden, we've got a giant tub that we fill up with water and let the sun heat up. It'll only take a couple of hours." Goku assured her, "and then it'll be even hotter than a shower!" he smiled cutely rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh forget it, don't sweat it. I'll just pop by the spa's on the way back. I'd hate to say it but I've gotta begin heading back soon." Bulma said pulling a puppy dogface, this was the part she always hated. Having to say goodbye.
Goku's face suddenly turned all sad, he looked like a little kid who had just dropped his ice cream on the floor.
"You don't have too, I can squeeze you in somewhere, I'm sure Radditz wont mind sharing with you!" he joked trying to avoid the inevitable. He knew in his heart that in his tiny house they struggled to fit three people in and there just wasn't enough room for someone else to move in.
"Thanks… but I think I'd rather sleep on the floor… like I said earlier, I need to do this. I've gotta go back, I'm not going to let that whore and her devil offspring win, its going to take a lot more than that to beat me!" Bulma said smirking.
Goku could see in her eyes she meant every word she had just said; he understood it clearly. The look she had just given him when she smirked reminded him so much of the Sayan prince. He also strived to become stronger but for his own personal reasons; Bulma's was just to make sure she didn't break at the hands of her cruel relatives.
"I'll see you out… make sure you come and see me soon, otherwise I'll hunt your ki down and find you whether you like it or not!" he smiled winking at her.
"I promise I will Goku…" with that Bulma took off into the bright hot sky disappearing into the distance.
It was much easier for her to take off like that, Goku understood, if she stayed and said goodbye properly then it would just upset her more. As she disappeared from view he sighed and went to put some water in his bathtub.
