As Kakarotto visited each planet that inhabited deep space, he was only rejected a home by each one. He felt lonely, vulnerable and cautious. For all Kakarotto knew, Frieza could have been stalking him with his second-in command, Zarbon, oh how Kakarotto hated Zarbon. Zarbon had been the one who had tormented Kakarotto in front of his father. Thinking of which, what had happened to his father, his family. That brought a sickening sensation to his stomach and tears to his tired eyes. Kakarotto was indeed beginning to tire, and there was not a Saiyan healing planet for miles. As far as Kakarotto knew the only inhabitable planet in the Gama Quadrant of space was a small planet called Earth. Kakarotto had heard myths and legends about Earth and the creatures that lived there, that they were weak humans who knew nothing of the universe. 'If they're weak, then they won't be much of a threat ...' Kakarotto thought to himself. He made up his mind, powered up and headed for Earth.
As Kakarotto entered Earth's atmosphere, he was shocked. The sky was a breath-taking shade of blue and the ground that he landed on was soft and green. However, Kakarotto didn't have much time to appreciate the scenery. His feet gave way beneath him and Kakarotto's face met with the luscious green ground. Kakarotto tried so hard to stay conscious, be he was so comfortable, that he couldn't stop himself. Before he knew, Kakarotto's subconscious had taken over.
"Oh Daddy, is he going to be alright?"
"I've done all I can, he did hit the ground pretty hard from what I gathered when you brought him here..." Kakarotto could hear unfamiliar voices. Opening his eyes, Kakarotto saw a young woman about his age staring down at him. The other voice belonged to an elderly man who soon turned and left. The woman had bright blue hair and eyes to match; she had a pinkish tone to her cheeks and was ever so slightly trembling. Suddenly, it hit Kakarotto, he had been taken prisoner and now this woman, whoever she was had been told to watch him, so that he couldn't escape. But that didn't stop Kakarotto from trying. He bolted upright and then he taken over by pain, lots of it.
"Oh please, try not to move...it's alright, you're safe..." Kakarotto didn't want to trust her; he'd only just met her after all, so he tried again only to receive the same result. "I said 'don't move', do you have ears, or are you just stupid...!" Kakarotto was taken away by the woman's words. Those were the kind of things that only his mother would say. He felt hurt by the sudden flood of memories and decided to no longer fight. Kakarotto lied back down and the woman sat beside him.
"Who are you, am I you're prisoner?" Kakarotto asked calmly and slowly. Although the woman before him did speak his language, he didn't know how well. The blue-haired woman cocked her head and smiled.
"My name is Bulma, Bulma Briefs and no, you are not my prisoner, you are my guest..." Guest? As in a friend? "Look..." she said as she continued. "I know that you are not from around here, you're an alien aren't you...?" Kakarotto began to get worried. 'What do I say, if she finds out to much...?' Kakarotto sighed, but didn't say anything. Bulma also sighed. "Fine, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to...but at least tell me your name..." Silence. Bulma gave up and began to leave.
"It's Kakarotto..." Bulma stopped dead in her tracks. She rushed back to sit with him again.
"Kaka-what?" Obviously, she needed help with pronunciation. Kakarotto sat up, with Bulma's aid and tired again.
"Repeat after me...Ka..."
"Ka..."
"Ka..."
"Ka..."
"Rot..."
"Rot..."
"To..."
"To..."
"Kakarotto" He said, concluding the lesson. "Now you..."
"Kakarotto..." Kakarotto smiled. "Hey, Kakarotto...?" Bulma asked, her tone rising.
"Yes...?"
"Can I call you by something else...?" Kakarotto turned to look at her.
"Like..." 'I can't wait to hear this...' he thought sarcastically.
"How about...Goku?"
