A/N: I do not own Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Z Kai, Dragon Ball Super, or Dragon Ball GT. I will however use those in this 4 part fanfiction series.

And incase any of you are wondering if this is going to be based off the manga series or anime series, I'm going to tell you it's actually going to be a mixture of both. I will coordinate between manga chapters and anime series according to where I am in the series. I did something like this with a Zatch Bell Cannon I posted a while back called Twin Bell Princes.

Goku's First Night Away from Home

Bulma didn't make any more stops until they stop for the night.

"So we're going to camp out here tonight?" Goku asked.

"No way! You think a delicate girl like myself could camp out in a field like this?" Bulma asked.

"I guess that's true. I mean if you can't handle a mere pterodactyl, you wouldn't last a minute ruffing it out!" Goku said.

"Exactly," Bulma said.

"Although it did prove my point earlier about you being weak," Goku said.

"Don't push it kid," Bulma grumbled.

"So, do one of those capsule things have a house or something?" Goku asked.

"Yep, so you better step back!" Bulma said as he press the button and threw one of her larger capsules. In a blast of smoke a small home appeared.

"Whoa. This is bigger than my place," Goku said.

Which was true. Although it was a small house, it was three times bigger than Goku's home.

Inside was a studio apartment home with only doors to closets and a bathroom.

"Whoa, there's light in here without a fire," Goku said. "I haven't seen anything like this since I left Planet Vegeta."

"Seriously?" Bulma asked. "Just how old were you when you landed on earth?"

"Ah… not sure. I only know that I was three when I left my home world," Goku said.

"Well, you might find this interesting," Bulma turned on a television set which made Goku jumped.

"Pictures in the box! How is that possible?" Goku responded.

"I guess Earth isn't as primitive as you thought," Bulma chuckled before noticing an awful smell in the room.

Although she noticed it outside on the road, she didn't think much of it, but now they were inside it was too noticeable to ignore. She looked around until she noticed it was coming from Goku.

"Hey! You sell, a little, you know?" Bulma asked. "We'll hae to stick you in the tub before dinner."

"What's a tub?" Goku asked.

"Are you kidding me? You call earth a primitive planet and you don't know what a bath is?"

"Give me a break, before I left Planet Vegeta I was cared for in a high tech pod," Goku said. "Besides Grandpa did teach me to clean myself at a river. I just haven't wash in a month."

"That's disgusting!" Bulma yelled. "That's it, if we're going to travel together you'll have to promise me that you would take a bath at least every other day."

"Fine, whatever," Goku said. "So where's this bath?"

Bulma showed Goku the bathroom. As Bulma prepared the bathwater, Goku stripped down.

"So it's like bathing in a river?" Goku asked.

"Yes, but you use this stuff right here to scrub yourself clean. It's called soap and shampoo," Bulma said turning to Goku only to notice he hasn't cover himself with a towel yet. "Would you cover yourself up?"

"With a this?" Goku asked holding a towel as he tried to wear it like his regular clothes. "I don't think it would fit me."

"You don't wear it like your clothes!" Bulma said.

Soon enough Bulma got Goku started only too find that despite his stupid stunts earlier Goku was actually a quick learner as he quickly was able to wash himself.

"Since you can handle the rest, you can do it yourself," Bulma said, "When you're done, put on some clothes before getting out."

"Okay. Okay." Goku grumbled.

At least he has some decency to pack some extra clothes, Bulma thought. Although something tells me I'll have to wash them tomorrow if I want to breath.

Bulma left the bathroom and turned the tv onto some of her favorite soap opera.

"Bulma, I'm done," Goku said walking out of the bathroom soaking wet.

"Didn't you dry yourself with a towel before putting your clothes on?" Bulma yelled.

"I thought it was just for covering myself up," Goku said.

"Gah! Goku just—stay off the furniture until you stop dripping!" Bulma yelled. "I'm going to take a bath!"

"You want some privacy or do you need help?" Goku asked.

"What do you think!" Bulma yelled as she slammed the bathroom door shut.

"Geez, you think I yanked her tail or something," Goku mumbled.

…

Once Bulma was done with her bath she prepared dinner for Goku.

"This is food?" Goku asked.

"It is where I'm from," Bulma said.

Goku bit through a roll of bread. "Blah, this thing is bland." Goku then drink his cup of coffee and spit it out immediately. "Ah gross, this soup is bitter."

"Stop being picky, otherwise you won't grow any taller in seven years," Bulma said.

"Seven years—" Goku did math with his fingers as Gohan taught him. "when I'm 19."

"What?" Bulma asked.

"You said I will grow taller in seven years. So you mean I be 19 I be fully grown?" Goku asked.

"Wait—" Bulma said realizing where Goku was going. "You're twelve years old?"

"Yeah."

"But you look like you're no older than six!" Bulma responded. "Didn't your grandfather feed you any nutricious food."

"He taught me how to hunt and fish if that's what you mean," Goku said. "But that's not why I'm short."

"Oh really, so I'm guessing you're going to tell me Sayans age half the speed of humans?" Bulma asked.

"I don't know about half, but Grandpa and I did came up with a theory that Sayans do age slower than earthlings." Goku said.

I had to ask, Bulma thought.

"You know what, you can enjoy your food by yourself. I'm going to hunt for my own," Goku said.

"Fine. Suit yourself."

…

Moment later Goku yelled from outside. "I'm home!"

"That was quick," Bulma said as Goku opened the door revealing a wolf tied by it's tail to his power poll.

"What the heck!" Bulma responded. "When you said you were going hunting, I didn't think you bring home a wolf!"

"What did you think I meant?" Goku asked.

"Ah—you know what! Fine! Eat your wolf, but you're not bringing it in here!" Bulma said.

"I wasn't going to, I was planning to start a camp fire and cook my food."

"Fine!" Bulma slammed the door shut. "Geez! That kid is annoying!"

Bulma prepared for bed and just shut her eyes when Goku came in.

"Hey Bulma, where's my bed?"

Bulma opened her eyes and much to her annoyance found Goku standing there.

"What, no left over wolf to put in the fridge?" Bulma asked.

"What's a fridge?" Goku asked.

"Never mind," Bulma sighed.

"So where's my bed?" Goku asked.

"I don't know! Why don't you sleep outside?" Bulma asked. "You probably use to it by now."

"I did have a bed back home," Goku said.

Bulma sighed and went to a closet and grabbed a spare blanket and pillow and set it on the floor.

"There! You can sleep there!" Bulma responded.

"Okay, okay!" Goku responded.

Fortunate for Bulma's health, Goku fell asleep rather quickly.

"Geez, this kid is annoying," Bulma responded. "But hopefully with his help I can get the rest of the Dragon Balls before I have to go back to school."

Bulma thought back to Goku's scouter and decided now might be a good chance to see what she can do with it.

She took it out from her pouch and started by taking apart the outer shell to get a glimpse of the inside while laying on her bed. It wouldn't be the first time Bulma did her work on her bed. When she was a little girl she use to sneak in machines from her dad's lab and took it apart at night under the sheets of her bed.

"Wow this thing really is high tech," Bulma said. "It's a good thing I like a challenge."

Bulma worked on it until she fell asleep with Goku's scouter next to her.

…

The next morning Bulma woke up to Goku yelling: "What the heck Bulma? I told you to repair my scouter not break it more!"

"What are you talking about?" Bulma asked.

"I'm talking about this!" Goku showed her his scouter which the outer metal was removed from the frame.

"Oh that…" Bulma laughed nervously as she had to go through the process of explaining of what she did.

A/N: In case any of you are wondering how I'm able to make Goku both smart and yet ignorant to hsi new home world, it's simple. I'm using Vegeta as an example. Seriously, I don't think Saiyans before Goku landed on earth take the time to get to know a planet's culture before destroying it, and despite being on earth for so long, Goku only knew as much as his human grandfather taught him in the early Dragon Ball Saga.

Also as for the flying nimbus, although I will have to cut back on Goku's attitude slightly, I will have him able to ride on one. I figured Goku doesn't exactly have to be care free and lack some of the sayan attittude he lost when he lost his memories to become Pure Heart. If you need proof, my proof is Chichi
