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 Selfless Deeds Counts to a Flying Nimbus
"Ah, I love it on the beach," Bulma said. "It's nice and peaceful."
"Yeah, and it makes great building material," Goku said as he packed more sand to his fort.
"Are you building to your fort?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah. The left flank seemed weak, so I thought I add more structure," Goku said.
"Suite yourself, but it won't matter when the tide comes in," Bulma said. She looked out at the sea and saw something coming their way.
"What's that?" Bulma asked.
Goku looked and recognize it. "It's the turtle, and he got somebody riding on it's shell."
"How can you tell from that far?" Bulma asked.
"I guess Saiyans have better eye sight than humans," Goku responded.
"So if you have great vision, why do you have a scouter?" Bulma asked.
"To detect life forms at places we can't see, how strong they are…" Goku explained. "Oh, and it can also works as a communicator."
"Oh, that's pretty cool!" Bulma responded. Now that I know what it's supposed to do when it's working, I might get a better idea of what's wrong with it and add a dragon ball radar while at it.
"Ah-hoy there!" the turtle greeted. "Sorry to kept you two waiting! I had to go get my master."
On top of his shell was an old bald man with a white mustache beard combo that pointed out sort of like a triangle and a turtle shell strapped to his back, carrying a wooden staff and wearing a pair of shades.
"Well hello there kids!" the old man greeted when the turtle reach shore.
"Hi, welcome ashore!" Bulma greeted.
"Who are you mister?" Goku asked.
"I am Roshi the turtle hermit," the old man replied as he jumped off his turtle.
"Ah, turtle hermit?" Bulma asked.
"Which one of these kids help you?" Roshi asked.
"The girl provided the transportation, but the little boy really was the one who kept me protected," the turtle explained.
"I see, well, I'll reward both of them either way," Roshi said.
"Oh, we both be rewarded," Bulma said.
"First the boy." Roshi walked up to the boy. "You are a very brave boy. My turtle told me how you took down that bandit swiftly just to keep him safe. As token of my gratitude."
He walked up to the sea and waved his staff shouting: "Come Magic Carpet!"
"What's a magic carpet?" Goku asked.
"It's a carpet you can sit on and fly anywhere around the world," Bulma explained.
"But I can already fly using my tail," Goku said.
"Trust me Goku, a magic carpet are faster than your tail," Bulma explained. "But I thought they didn't exist."
"I bet you didn't know Saiyans existed before you met me either," Goku replied.
"Good point," Bulma responded.
"Hey uh, master!" the turtle said. "Hold on! You took that magic carpet to the cleaners."
"Ain't that right? You got a good point there, turtle," Roshi said.
"So much for a flying carpet," Bulma responded.
"Only other option is the flying nimbus. But am I ready to part with it," Roshi said to himself. "Why not? If you can ride it, it's yours!"
Then Roshi waved his staff in the air. "Come to me flying nimbus!"
"I hope this one is fast," Goku said.
"Now where is that cloud?" Roshi complained looking out in the sky. Sure enough a yellow cloud zoomed through the sky. "Oh, there it is! It's about time! See! She's a beauty isn't she!"
The cloud zoomed around before coming to a hault.
"She's as sweet as candy, so don't be afraid of it," Roshi explained.
"What does this thing do?" Bulma asked.
"If you can sit on it, the nimbus can fly you anywhere you want," Roshi said. "But to be able to sit on it, you have to be pure of heart."
"Pure of heart, huh?" Goku asked.
"Let me show you." Roshi jumped onto the cloud only to fall through it and crash on the ground.
"I guess that means you're not pure of heart, huh?" said Goku as he and Bulma laughed.
"You okay master?" the turtle asked as he helped Roshi up to a sitting position. "You must of done something wrong."
"Be quiet."
"My turn!" Goku said. "Let's see if all my selfless deeds I've done since sparing this planet finally pay off!"
Goku jumped onto the cloud, but unlike Roshi, he actually landed ontop of the nimbus, much to everyone's shock.
"Alright! I did it!" Goku cheered. "Now lets see how fast you can go, Nimbus! Fly!"
With that Nimbus took off at high speed as Goku manage to stay on. "Ha! This is great! What else can you do?" Goku asked.
Nimbus replied with a few loopy-loops and zigzag. Goku cheered and laugh the whole time.
"This is great! I'll take her!" Goku yelled.
"Well, there goes my nimbus," Roshi said.
"Hey, what about me?" Bulma asked. "You promise me a gift too?"
"Oh right." Roshi said. "Let me think…"
That's when Bulma noticed a necklace strapped around Roshi's neck. And attached to it was a dragon ball.
"A dragon ball!" Bulma shouted. "You have one?"
"What this?" Roshi hold up the dragon ball. "It washed up on my island one day, but if you want it, you can have it…"
Roshi handed it to Bulma much to her excitement.
"Goku! Look another dragon ball!" BUlma yelled.
"Really! Hold on!" Goku yelled.
Nimbus soared down next to Bulma as she handed it to Goku.
"You're right! It looks like my grandpa's but with a different number of stars!" Goku said. "See Bulma! I told you! Good deed does pay off!"
"You sure did, kid!" Bulma responded. "Now we just need to find three more, and wish time!"
"What? That thing grants wishes?" Roshi asked.
"Thank you!" Bulma told Roshi. "We really love our gifts!"
"Now hold on…"
"You said I can have it," Bulma said. "You didn't change your mind have you?"
"Well, um, no… I mean I don't like going back on my word… But if that ball is important to you, I do request you do something for me," Roshi said.
"Fine, what is it?" Bulma asked.
"Would you let me see your panties?" Roshi asked.
"Master!" Turtle responded.
"Oh, that's all?" Bulma asked. "Sure. I guess."
Bulma lifted her over size shirt that she was wearing and revealed a peek of her undies.
"Oh my." Roshi said turning pink and not with embarrassment. "Fine, it's yours. Take it!"
"Yay!"
"Hey kid! You mention a grandpa right?" Roshi asked.
"Yeah." Goku responded. "He raised me since I was little."
"What was his name? Maybe I know him."
"His name—his name was Gohan," Goku said. "Son Gohan
"Gohan… why does that sound familiar?" Roshi asked.
"Master, wasn't one of your students name was Gohan?" The turtle asked.
"Oh yeah," Roshi responded. "Kid your grandfather wouldn't happen to be from the mountains would he?"
"Yeah!" Goku said. "Why? Do you know him?"
"Know him? I trained him!" Roshi responded.
"What? Really?" Goku asked.
"Yeah. Him and one other student," Roshi said. "But it been years since I last heard from him. How is he doing?"
"Uh—oh, he last year," Goku responded.
"Oh. What a shame? A master should never outlive their students," Roshi said. "Well Goku, I wish you the best of luck."
"Thanks!" Goku said.
With that Roshi and the turtle left.
"That was nice," Goku said.
"Hey Goku," Bulma said. "Can I try to ride your nimbus?"
"I don't know, are you pure of heart?" Goku asked.
"Of course I am!" Bulma responded. "Let me show you!"
"Okay, fine!" Goku jumped off his nimbus.
"Finally, I get to see just how fun riding this cloud really is!" Bulma said as she jumped on the nimbus only to fall through it and hit the ground. Unfortunately it was hovering over Goku's fort when she did that so she destroyed Goku's fort.
"Hey you destroyed my fort!" Goku responded.
