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 Helps a Turtle?
Goku was sitting in pout as Bulma took her time getting ready. It was bad enough he woke up to find his scouter in parts, but now Bulma been getting ready for over an hour and was still getting ready.
"Are you done yet?" Goku asked.
"For the Hundredth time, no!" Bulma yelled.
"But it been an hour!" Goku responded.
"Well, maybe next time you won't wake up so early," Bulma said.
"Grandpa always told me it's best to work done as early as possible," Goku responded.
"Well your grandpa clearly didn't know people like me," Bulma complained. "Why don't you go do something?"
"Fine! Whatever!" Goku headed out. "At least I can get some training done."
…
Outside the ground was soaked as it rained sometime after Goku went to bed. Goku started his morning workout of lifting rocks and destroying them.
Then when Goku picked up what he thought was another boulder, he heard someone shout: "Wah!"
That's when Goku realized what he grabbed wasn't a boulder but a giant sea turtle.
"Woah!" Goku dropped the turtle.
"Hah… hah… That was scary," the turtle said.
"A talking turtle!" Goku responded.
"What's going on out here?" Bulma asked as she looked outside.
"I was training when I found this talking turtle," Goku explained.
"Talking turtle?" Bulma looked at the turtle. "Wait a second. This is a sea turtle. What's it doing all the way out here?"
"Excuse me, but could I possibly get a cup of salt water? If possible, I'd like some sea weed as well," the turtle requested.
"Seems pretty luxurious for a turtle!" Bulma said. "Hold on, I'll see what I can get you."
Bulma headed back into the house and when she came out, she had a pail of water.
"It's not sea water, but I added a box of salt into the water if that's okay," Bulma responded.
"That's fine with me," the turtle said a he started slurping the water down. "Thank you very much."
"So what are you doing out here?" Goku asked.
"Well the truth is… I am a turtle."
"We can see that!" Bulma shouted.
"A sea turtle that is," the turtle continued. "I was out gathering mushrooms when I… um… got… lost. It's been a year since I left the ocean… I've been traveling around all this time trying to find my way back."
"Hmmm. The ocean? You're traveling into the totally opposite direction. Seriously though, turtle you've really come a long way."
Bulma brought out a map. "Look! It's about 120 km to the south."
"Hyaa… 120 km?" The turtle responed.
"We could take you there," Goku said.
"Really?" The turtle asked.
"What are you saying?" Bulma asked. "I'm on a deadline. I can't be going off doing something like this."
"Grandpa always told me a selfless deed does more good when it's done," Goku said.
"I don't care!" Bulma responded.
"Fine then I'll go by myself!" Goku responded. "I don't need to work with someone who breaks my scouter."
"I told you, I didn't break it! I only took it apart to try and see if I can find what's wrong with it's mainframe!"
Goku refused to believe her as he picked up the turtle and started running off.
"Good riddance," Bulma said. "Annoying kid."
Bulma pouted in silence before realizing Goku still had his Dragon Ball.
"DANG IT!" Bulma shouted.
Bulma packed up and return her house back into its capsule form and used a new capsule to release a new motorcycle with a side car.
"Hey Goku! Wait up!" Bulma shouted as she caught up to Goku.
"What are you doing here?" Goku asked. "What happened to your deadline?"
"I thought I help you out since my motorcycle is faster than you," Bulma said.
"You forgot that I still had my dragon ball, didn't you?" Goku asked.
"Just shut up and put the turtle in the side car!" Bulma ordered.
"You mean that thing attached to your motorcycle?" Goku asked.
"What else would I be talking about?!"
"Okay, fine."
…
Meanwhile a bear like bandit in armor noticed them coming their way through some binoculars. He especially noticed the turtle in the side car.
"Heh, heh, heh… looks like they're packin' some good stuff," said the bandit.
He walked up front and block the road forcing Bulma to stop.
"Hand over that sea turtle to me," the bandit said. "It's my favorite food, you know!"
"Heck no!" Goku responded.
"Are you crazy?" Bulma asked. "Hand it over."
"Nuh-uh!"
"You better listen to your friend, kid," the bandit said as he draw out his sword. "Unless you want me to cut you up!"
"I love to see you try," Goku said as he got off the motorcycle and moved infront of the bandit.
"What's wrong with you?" Bulma said.
"My name is Kakarot of the proud Saiyan race of the Planet Vegeta! And we don't let anyone push us around," Goku responded.
"We're dead," Bulma cried.
"In that case, you're first kid," The bandit raised his sword for a head strike.
Goku jumped and dodge the attack then Goku took out his power poll: "Power Poll Extend."
The poll extended and hit hard in the bandit's gut. Then as the bandit leaned down gasping for air Goku jumped and kicked him in the chin sending the bandit crashing into the ground.
"Let's go," Goku told Bulma as he walked back to the motorcycle.
"That guy is crazy," the turtle said.
"You don't know the half of it," Bulma responded.
They continued on and didn't run into any other trouble when they reached the beach.
"We… we didn it! It's the sea! No matter what anyone says… we really made it!" shouted the turtle.
"Obviously," Bulma responded.
"So this is the earth's sea," Goku said. "I thought there be more to it than this."
"You really saved me!" the turtle cried. "Thank you so much! So very much! Please wait there for a moment, would you? By all means, I want to return the favor to you with a gift."
With that the turtle swam out to sea.
"I wonder what kind of gift it is," Bulma said. "I hope it's buried treasure."
"I hope it's something that can fix my scouter that you brook apart," Goku said.
"For the last time, Goku, I didn't break your scouter! I just took it apart to see if something is wrong with its mainframe!" Bulma responded.
Goku got thirsty and drank some of the sea water. "Blahh! This water is worse than that bitter water!"
"That's because it's sea water! It's not supposed to be drinkable," Bulma said.
"So what do earthlings do here?" Goku asked.
"Well, we normally swim, unfortunately I didn't think of bringing a swimsuite on this trip," Bulma said.
"There are clothes for swimming?" Goku asked.
"Forget I said that," Bulma grumbled (one night with Goku was enough to make her realize when she reach a topic with Goku that will end with her gross out) before an idea hit her, "Oh I know, we can make something with the sand."
"You can make things with sand?" Goku asked.
For once Bulma found something she can teach Goku and have fun. She got out some buckets and started showing Goku how to build sandcastles.
"So we just pack wet sand in a bucket and use it to make a castle?" Goku asked. "How is this fun?"
"Well for one thing you can build up from it. You can even make yourself a fort for just yourself," Bulma said. "Just try it."
Goku shrugged and started working. But when he was done, it wasn't a sand castle he built, but rather a fort wall that goes pass his head and a mote full of sea water around it. To top it off, Goku added sea shells he found as a line of defense and a small square shape hole where Goku can peep through and stick his power pull out of.
"Goku, I think you went a bit overboard," Bulma said. "And how is it you just foun out about sand castles and yet able to make a wall with a peep hole and a mote?"
"No earthlings allowed!" Goku answered which really didn't answer anything.
