*Pop* With his energy suppressed, Goku arrived at his hostile destination.
Pop. He heard a pop. Pop. And another one. Our orange clad hero looked around, double checking to make sure that this was where he needed to be. Pop. He recognized the architecture, so that seemed to be the case.
Pop. The saiyan sniffed the air, taking in the unexpected sweet scent that filled the space around him. Pop. The sizable room was filled with bubbles and steam and he could barely make out the large frosted glass screen a few meters in front of him. Somewhat confused, he scratched his temple. Huh? What an odd location for a spa.
Pop. He heard water splash behind the divider and figured it must give privacy to a large bath of some sorts. Pop. Still a little unsure he was in the correct place,he put his fingers back to his forehead and scanned his target's ki again. Pop. Goku flinched as he locked on immediately. He's definitely behind that window thing! Well, here goes nothing.
Pop. Goku crouched down and snuck his way over towards the privacy glass. Once he got a little closer, he could make out the silhouette of a short, robed figure standing next to the bath. He squinted. Pop. The figure was wearing a familiar style of armor and appeared to be tending to the person in the water. Pop. Staying below the edge of the bath, he hid behind the foggy screen and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Soap please." Pop.
"Here you go, my lord."
Pop. "Perfect."
Goku heard some carefree humming, followed by more splashing, as if someone was wading through waist deep water.
"Berryblue, I require more bubbles." Pop.
"Are you sure, my lord? We still have a substantial amount. It would be a waste if -."
The splashing stopped. "Bubbles! I said I want more bubbles!"
"But…"
"GIVE ME MORE BUBBLES!"
Pop. "Of course. Right away, my lord."
Goku heard the attendant rummage through a cabinet. Through the mist he could make out that the woman had fetched a dragon ball sized orb which she proceeded to drop into the water.
A few seconds later the sound of popping bubbles was replaced by a loud hiss, followed by the delightful laugh and clapping hands of the bather. Goku blinked in shock and covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from squealing. What was that!? I never bathe with hissing balls!
"Ho ho ho! Much better!" A large column of bubbles ascended from the bath and scattered all over the room. The laughing subdued and the joyous voice asked. "Now, where is my rubber duck?"
"The one with the spiky blonde hair, my lord?"
"Of course! You know it's my favorite. I just love drowning it as I pretend it's that filthy, bipedal baboon."
"It's in the top drawer of your nightstand, my lord. Would you like me to go fetch it?"
"Hmm, that's quite a jaunt isn't it? Very well, retrieve it for me. And bring the one with lavender hair as well. I'm in the mood for some target practice."
Goku saw the attendant scurry off right past him, too preoccupied to notice the hidden saiyan. She bolted through the door and hastily shut it behind her.
The room was quiet now, except for the occasional splash. A gaggle of fresh bubbles had collected at the ceiling and when Goku looked up, he saw them reflecting the surrounding area. Visually confirming that his target was indeed the person bathing. Goku swallowed when he noticed his surprised looking objective glaring back at him in the bubbly mirror. Woah crap!
"I thought I smelled bananas! How dare you disturb my bath!?" He shot Goku a dirty look and beckoned at him. "Come here, monkey."
Goku jumped up and made his way to the other side of the screen. He stood to attention and saluted. "Hi Frieza! What are ya up to?"
Frieza groaned in annoyance. "What does it look like, you dolt? I'm having a bath of course! Something you should do more often as it will make your lamentable presence a lot more tolerable."
Goku relaxed his pose and scratched his cheek. "But I wash myself every day!"
"Of course you do. Like a pig rolling in mud."
"I'm a saiyan, not a pig, ya dummy."
"What I mean to say is YOU STINK, YOU FILTHY PRIMATE!"
"That's not very nice, Frieza."
"I'M NOT VERY NICE!"
Frieza shook his head and stared at Goku in astonishment when his adversary reached up both of his arms and started sniffing his armpits. How do people work with this simpleton? The emperor rolled his eyes at the idiotic display and crossed his arms. "Anyway, what brings you to my ship, saiyan?"
Goku lowered his arms. "The Dragon Radar! Before ya came to Earth with Broly ya kinda stole it from Bulma."
"What's a Bulma?"
"That's a Vegeta's wife."
"Proceed."
"Well, the Dragon Radar doesn't belong to ya, so we kinda sorta want it back."
Frieza started laughing. "Really, do you now? And do you honestly think I'll just hand it back to you?"
Feeling somewhat disappointed, Goku pouted his lips and scowled at the emperor. "Yes of course! You're the one who stole it."
"Under what threat?"
"Huh?"
"Urg, I can't believe I have to lower my standards to speaking Monkey." He sighed. "What will you do if I refuse to give it back?"
"Bulma will get mad."
Another laugh. "If Vegeta can handle her, so can I."
"Yikes, well Vegeta's not very good at that. Plus she's best friends with Lord Beerus and it would be really bad if ya upset his favorite restaurant."
Frieza stiffened at the mention of the Destroyer's name and averted his eyes. The commander didn't understand the restaurant part, but was unwilling to provoke the whimsical god's anger in any way, shape or form. "Touché." He stepped out of the water, flared up his ki to dry himself off and walked over to the door. "Very well, have it your way. Follow me, chimp, and I'll give you your stupid radar back."
"Awesome! You're the best!"
"Indeed." Frieza chuckled.
Goku followed the emperor through the halls of the ship and nearly bumped into a very confused Berryblue holding two rubber duckies with familiar hairdos. When the duo made it to the main command room, Frieza reached into his floating throne and retrieved the radar from its hiding spot inside the contraption. Feigning royal boredom, he dropped it at Goku's feet. "Here it is. Now take your toy and leave."
"Thanks Frieza!" The saiyan snatched the radar from the floor and put his fingers to his forehead. "Have fun playing with your duckies!"
"Wait! You..."
*Pop* Goku vanished.
"... heard that!?" Curses! How long has he been there!? Frieza's eyes went wide and his cheeks turned pink with embarrassment.
"DAMN YOU, YOU FILTHY MONKEY!"
