Chapter 4 - Master Roshi And the Cute Nimbus Cloud

"Onward to the sea!"

We ran and I smiled, I haven't felt this energetic in a long time when it comes to running. Once Bulma started to yell, we reached to the sea.

"No way!" Goku exclaimed

I squealed, "It's huge."

"—And blue," Goku and I stared in awe along with the others.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Bulma stared at the sea with admiration.

I whispered, "Yeah..." I sighed, feeling the breeze in my direction and smelled the scent of the sea in content.

"I've never dreamed of a place like this really existed." my tailed-friend said, staring at the ocean.

"I'm starting to wonder myself. Thanks for bringing me back," Turtle said gratefully.

"Hey, sure, no problem. It was a lot of fun," my monkey-tailed friend replied

I nodded, "Yeah, besides, we helped you because we want to. It's no big deal." I gave him a smile.

When Turtle asked us to stay at the beach for a while so he can give us a gift. We agreed (despite Bulma's complaints) and he swam into the sea. After that, I sat down on the sand and removed my boots, backpack, and jacket. It's a good thing I'm wearing a tank top and shorts today. I took out some sunscreen in my bag (much to my joy) and rubbed the cream on my body.

I begin to notice that my two friends remove their shoes and socks. Goku pulled up his pant legs to his knees and went to the water.

Oh cupcakes.

Bulma pulled her nightgown to her knees and went into the water with him, "Hey, what are you doing? I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Before I could stop my friend, he tasted the seawater with a disgusted look.

"Ew, yucky! This water is salty," he cried.

I smiled and giggled in my hand. I slowly approached him, "Of course it is, Goku. The reason why is because when the seawater evaporates. It will turn into rain and land on the soil and rocks, causing rivers or streams to carry the salt of it into the sea." I explained, which earned me a look from Bulma.

He 'oh' and nodded in understanding. I chuckle again for his attitude and dived into the water.


For a while, I decided to change my clothes and dry out my top and shorts on a nearby rock. I see Bulma sitting down on the sand with a content expression on her face. I smiled at her relaxed state. It's nice seeing her this calm instead of being all bossy and whiny.

"Hey Goku-chan," I called.

He stopped playing with the hermit crab and turned his attention to me. I approached him and grinned.

"Want to build some sand castles?" I jerked my thumb behind me.

He smiled and nodded energetically, "Sure!" he said.

We laughed and started to build our sand castle. While Goku started building the sand castle, I decided to find some shells to decorate it. Once I came back with a bunch of shells, I see our sand castle half-finished.

"Wow, Go-chan, the castle looks amazing!" I kneeled beside him and decorated the castle with the some shells.

He chuckled and rubbed his neck, "Thanks, Leanne, glad you like it."

I giggled, "Call me Lea, I like being called in my nickname better."

Goku nodded, "Okay, Lea." he grinned.

Once I finished decorating, I kept some shells in my bag and we smooth the texture on our sand castle.

Bulma sighed, "I get so relaxed when I'm in the beach." she said while she doodled on the sand.

"Yeah, you're not talking nearly as much." Goku commented.

I was about to prepare myself for her angered response, but I sighed in relief when she stared at the sea with a curious look.

"What's that?" she dropped the stick and stood up, "whatever it is, it's moving right towards us."

Despite my poor eyesight for far places, I knew it was Master Roshi and Turtle.

"It's the turtle," Goku said, "and it got someone on its back."

Bulma gave him a look of wonder, "Wow, it's like you've got some super vision or something. Pretty cool, Goku." she complimented.

I smirked at this and shook my head. If only she knew.

When Goku started to call Turtle's attention, I sweatdropped at this. Doesn't he know that we're the only ones on the beach?

I inwardly cringed, I remembered that Goku can't tell if the person is a girl or not in this series. I sighed and facepalmed, "Oh gosh, I forgot that he's not the sharpest blade in the box."

"Ahoy there!" Turtle laughed, "sorry I kept you waiting. I have to go get my master."

I fangirled internally seeing Master Roshi. He may be a perv, but he's still awesome in my book. He's like a cool grandpa with perverted tendencies.

"Man, check that guy out." the blunette spoke up.

When Turtle arrived at the shore, Master Roshi raised his hand as a greeting.

"Well, hello there, kids!" he greeted.

I shakily waved, "H-Hi, there..."

"Welcome ashore," Bulma said.

My knees are almost shaking, I can't believe this is happening. I feel like I'm going to faint. How will I react when I meet Android 18? Or worse...

The tournament announcer and Mai?

Oh crud, I'm definitely going to die if I'm going to meet those two! To be honest, the announcer guy and Mai are on the Top 1 of my Favorite Dragon Ball Characters List while Goku and Vegeta are on Top 2.

I inwardly shivered at the thought about Vegeta. Sure, he may be one of my favorite heroes, but what I don't like is his pride and arrogance. If he just cool it down with those traits, I know without a doubt he can beat Goku on a whim.

"Kids," Master Roshi began, "I want to thank you for helping my turtle."

"It was our pleasure, mister." Goku and I said. I secretly envied the calmness that my friend has, since I'm all shy and nervous now.

"I'm Roshi, the Turtle Hermit." he hopped down to the ground with a friendly smile.

Bulma and Goku stared, "Uh, a Turtle Hermit?"

Master Roshi ignored and I watched him turn to Turtle, "Which one of these kids helped you?"

Turtle pointed me and Goku, "Is those little kids, there."

Master Roshi approached us, "You two are very brave kids, I have a gift for you two to show my gratitude."

"Hear that guys?"

I ignored Bulma and watched Master Roshi walked away. He slowly got into a pose and raised his staff.

"Come to me, Magic Carpet!" he yelled.

I quickly snapped a picture without the scientist and the young saiyan noticing.

"A magic carpet!?" Bulma squealed.

Goku suddenly asked what's a magic carpet, which ends up Bulma explaining. When she said that it's not real and all, I saw Master Roshi's staff began to shake a bit. Turtle called his master's attention and reminded that the old man brought it to the cleaners.

Bulma moped that the carpet isn't real. I raised a brow at this and felt quite disappointed at her. The carpet is real, I'm guessing that his sister, Baba, gave it to him since she's a witch and all. Besides, Turtle reminded Master Roshi that he just brought it to the cleaners. After all, who wouldn't want a dirty magic carpet?

"Come to me, Flying Nimbus!"

I smiled widely and my eyes glinted with excitement.

"This guy is odd," Goku said.

"He's not odd," Bulma corrected, "he's nuts."

I ignored the two and patiently waited for that adorable cloud.

"Now where is that cloud? Oh, there it is. See, she's a beauty isn't she?" he turned as soon as the Nimbus cloud flew in the skies. Bulma and Goku stared and blinked, I, however, am squealing at the beautiful cloud.

"Look, guys, isn't it neato?"

"Yeah, how strange."

Once the Nimbus headed to us, we stared in awe.

"Don't be afraid, she's as sweet as candy."

Goku walked around the Nimbus, "Wow, it's so light and puffy." he turns to Master Roshi with his innocent eyes, "do you mind if I have a taste?"

"You don't eat it you buffoon!" the martial artist yelled.

I snorted and snickered at my friend, "Oh Goku." I muttered.

Bulma stood up and turned to Master Roshi, "What does this thing do?" she asked.

"If you can manage to sit in this cloud, it can fly you wherever you want." he explained.

She stared at him suspiciously, "There's gotta be some kind of hitch. You wouldn t be giving it away, something's wrong with it, right?"

I sighed at her and shook my head. Deep breaths, deep breaths.

"There's nothing wrong with this cloud!" he protested.

"Hey, can I try to ride it now?" Goku grinned.

Master Roshi turned to him, "Sure, why not? But, I must warn you. You must be pure of heart to ride this cloud."

"Hm?"

"Yep, otherwise it won't let you on it. It's picky that way," he explained.

"Wow," Goku stared at the cloud with pure amazement.

I saw Master Roshi stand up straight, "Here, let an old man show you how it's done."

He jumped and he landed on the ground painfully with a loud thump.

I gasped, "Kyaaa!" I shriek in panic.

Bulma laughed while Turtle and I helped Master Roshi sat up. I gave a small, silent growl at the scientist for being rude.

Again, despite Master Roshi is a perv. There are admiring qualities about him that makes him respectable. Also, it's important to respect an elder.

"Are you alright, Mr. Roshi?" I asked and checked for injuries.

He waved his hand, "Don't worry, child. I'm fine," he groaned a bit.

"You must've done something wrong, master." Turtle said.

I blinked and chuckled when Master Roshi told him to shut up.

"Now let me try it!" Goku smiled and jumped.

It didn't surprise me that he landed on the cloud. Everyone stared in awe and I just smiled at my friend's joy.

"Lea," he called.

I hummed and smiled, "Yes, what is it, Goku-chan?"

He patted a space behind him, "Try sitting on Nimbus with me."

I blinked and began to have doubts. Sitting on Nimbus would be nice, but am I pure enough to ride it?

I grinned and shrugged, guess there's only one way to find out.

"Okay," I smiled and smirked, "but you got to help me."

He laughed and I did too, I held out my hand for him to grab. Goku held my hand and I was surprised that his grip was quite gentle. I breathe in, climbed on the Nimbus with his help and sat on the Nimbus.

I didn't fall.

I gasped in shock at this and smiled widely, "I didn't fall!"

"Well, there goes my cloud." Master Roshi numbly spoke up.

I giggled and gasped once the Nimbus started moving. Soon I grabbed onto Goku once we flew to the skies. He made some loops in the air with the Nimbus and sped up. It was like having a roller coaster ride.

I squealed and shouted with enthusiasm while my heart pounded inside of ms. It was just like how I wrote in my fanfics, riding the Nimbus can give you such an amazing feeling! Once we flew above Master Roshi, Turtle, and Bulma, we waved at them.

"Hey, down there!" Goku greeted and we stopped in front of the older martial artist.

"Wow, it's great. Thanks, I love it." he said.

I see the old man smiled, "You fly that thing like you had it your whole life."

The little Saiyan laughed and rubbed the back of his neck, we flew off in the other direction, flying with Nimbus.

I held on the Nimbus tightly and began to wonder. Can I ask Master Roshi to be his student after the Pilaf saga? I know that I might not survive in this world without learning any martial arts despite I know a few defense moves and techniques.

I shivered in nervousness. What if Master Roshi will reject my request because I'm a girl? Or for being too young?

I shook my head and slapped my cheeks like Hinata in Haikyuu.

Unknown to me, Goku noticed what I'm doing. We slowly slowed down in the air and he turned his attention to me. I blinked at the sudden speed change from Nimbus and saw my Saiyan friend looking at me with concern.

"Why are you hurting yourself, Lea?" he asked and pointed my red cheeks.

I choked and waved my hands frantically, "O-Oh, don't worry, Go-chan! I-I just got too much thought in my head, so I slap myself to shake some of them away and focus." I explained.

"Oh, okay! Man, that's really weird, Lea. Does slapping yourself really helps you focus?" he scratched his cheek.

I shrugged, "Most of the times."

"Hey guys! I got something to show you," Bulma called.

We turned and gave each other's looks, the Nimbus floated down to Bulma and she showed us a Dragon Ball. I smirked and she started telling us that we were right and all. Master Roshi started to protest about letting the scientist keeping the orange gem, but she raised her skirt a few times, causing the poor old man to nosebleed.

I pity the poor scientist. If she just respected her body more often and all that, she wouldn't get put in such stupid situations...

Bulma cheered that we got a Dragon ball and we said our farewells to Turtle and Master Roshi.

"Man, I never thought that things would be this going so well. We only need three more Dragon Balls, I guess it was just meant to be, kiddo." she said and went inside with a smile.

I jumped off of Nimbus, while Goku lay down on. "Wow, I wish grandpa could see me now." he said.

My heart ached at this before I could say something to him, a scream cut me off.

My Saiyan friend jumped off and ran, I followed and he yelled.

"Hold on, Bulma! We're coming,"

We opened the door and ran inside, "What's going on here? What's wrong?" he asked and we saw the blunette holding her white, lacy panties.

I quickly brought my hand to my mouth, "Oh goodness..." I mumbled.

"M-My underwear was here on the floor," she stuttered, "I'm afraid to look."

She held her lower body and checked. The young teen blushed and whimpered.

"They're not there!" Bulma screamed loudly.

I managed to cover Goku's ears with my hands, I winced at her scream and felt my ear drums ringing. That woman can scream alright.

I uncovered his ears and saw the poor scientist mortified. I facepalmed once Goku told her that he's the one who put her panties on the floor.

I slowly back off and covered my ears. Bulma quickly took out her machine gun and recharged its ammo.

"Run, my friend! Run like your life depends on it," I yelled in vain.

She shot Goku with her machine gun and he started shouting in pain at the bullets he's receiving.

Oh Goku...


About a few hours, Bulma cooled down and the scientist took her bathing and getting ready.

Leanne gently rubbed Goku's back to soothe the small red marks on him that was caused by Bulma.

"Owie," he whimpered, "I'll be sure to not do that again with Bulma."

The brunette sighed and pecked his head, "Oh, you adorable boy. You have a lot to learn in this journey," she smiled softly.

Once Bulma was done changing her clothes and putting on her makeup, she saw Leanne stroking Goku's head softly with a gentle look on her face.

The scientist is a bit suspiscious of the little girl. She seemed so mature despite being a young child. Heck, even acted like an elder sister or a mother to Goku and yet, she still acted like an ordinary kid at the same time.

At first, Bulma thought Leanne was twelve years old because of her height and her matured voice. However, she was very surprised to find out the girl was actually ten.

The blunette held no ill or hostility to the little girl. No, she considered the ten year old as her little sister. Bulma has been just merely curious about her. It's just too rare to find young kids who looked or even sound matured.

She also can't shrug off the strange feeling about Leanne, it was like how she felt with Goku all the time for being not normal; however, this is a bit different. Bulma isn't even sure she's correct about this, but she thinks that the ten-year old was hiding something. Something big that she didn't want to reveal yet.

The young woman would love to know what the little girl is hiding, it's basically in her curious nature as a scientist. Though, she'll shrug her curiosity aside for now. She isn't really sure if her theory is correct yet about Leanne hiding a big secret.

However, if it is true. Bulma was reminded of her childhood days when she was about Leanne's age.

"Ready to go?" she asked the kids.

Leanne blinked and she nodded, the little girl held Goku's hand and they walked outside.

"Ready, set, presto!" the scientist pressed the button.

The house quickly turns into a capsule, causing Goku to yell and jump in surprise.

"Now that's what I called house cleaning," she said while she picked up her capsule.

"Don't scare me like that," he stammered.

The blunette chuckled and held her hips, "Okay, I'll warn you next time."

Leanne watched as the scientist approached the Nimbus, "I guess we could take the Flying Nimbus, it'll be faster."

The little girl raised a brow, "But didn't Master Roshi said that you have to be pure in heart to ride it?" she told the blunette.

"What's that supposed to mean? I'm probably the purest person you know," Bulma retorted.

"Alright," the Nimbus floated down to her level, "go ahead. Give it a try."

Leanne smirked at the Nimbus. It's like it was saying to Bulma 'I know what your true colors are' and a 'Yeah, right, give it a shot. I know you won't ride me' in a kind of way.

Bulma jumped on the Nimbus and ended up on the ground. She whimpered in pain while the little girl helped her up.

"You okay?" she asked.

"Pure, huh?" Goku chuckled.

Bulma growled, "Now my clothes are dirty, darn it! I didn't want to ride on that stupid cloud anyway." she shook her fists and walked away.

The two kids blinked they gave each other a sigh and shrugs. He and the young girl climbed on the Nimbus and they flew ahead from the scientist. The blunnete catch up with them with her motorcycle and the little Saiyan gave her a look.

"Kind of slow, huh?"

"Oh, hush up," she hissed, "nobody likes a show off, you know."

Leanne giggled and she and her friends went to their next destination.
