Chapter 8: The God Living Among Men
After eating the food Goku and Bulma brushed their teeth and prepared to sleep.
"So. You live alone with your grandpa. Right?" She asked.
"Did your parents die?" She asked.
"They did. While I was a baby my mom and dad sent me to Earth in a space pod before my home planet exploded." Goku answered.
"Yeah, and you get your power from the sun," Bulma replied.
She thought Goku was messing with her.
"No. See. I am not a human." Goku said as he pulled down his pants to show Bulma his butt.
"Hey. What do you think you are doing?" Bulma said as she covered her eyes with her hand.
"It's not what you think it is. Look," Goku said.
"A tail?" She was shocked to see that.
"I am what one called a Saiyan." He told her.
"A race made up of warriors that enjoy nothing but fighting and training." He said.
"Do you need to use that fake tail to convince me about your stupid story?" She asked as he tried to pull Gokum's tail but the tail moved away from her hand before she could grab it.
"Wait? What? Is it real?" She said in shock.
"A tail. A real tail?" She was in disbelief.
"Do you believe me now?" He asked.
"I guess so." She replied.
"An alien. A real-life alien." She muttered to herself in disbelief.
Bulma has seen an alien before but because she was very young at that time she didn't fully remember it.
So she thought Goku was the first alien that she had seen in her life.
Then suddenly she remembered the alien that she had seen as a kid named Jaco.
"You know I think I saw an alien in the past too," Bulma said.
But she didn't hear Goku's reply so she looked at him only to find out that Goku was already asleep.
"It's a little rude to fall asleep while someone is talking," Bulma complained.
----------------------------
The next day.
Goku woke up and looked around.
He saw Bulma sleeping on the bed.
"What a messy sleeper." He said as he noticed that he could see her underwear because of her sleeping posture.
He got up and prepared a breakfast for himself. Since he already knows where the ingredients are kept.
A cup of coffee, an omelette and the leftover bread from yesterday was enough to fill him up, for a while at least.
He opened the door and walked out.
He looked into the sky. Takes up the sunlight and smiles.
Since he was a child he does not know why but he lights the feeling that he has while he is under the spotlight.
"Huh. What is that?" He said as he saw a living being near him.
He walked towards it and looked at it.
It looked like a large boulder but in reality, it was a turtle.
"Knock. Knock." He then gives it a slight tap on its shell.
Causing an old-looking turtle to reveal himself.
"If I am not wrong you are supposed to be the turtle that belongs to the old man," Goku said.
"Old man?" The Turtle was confused by Goku's words.
"Oh. I mean Old Turtle hermit." Goku corrected himself.
"You know the turtle hermit?" The Turtle asked him.
"Yes," Goku replied.
"Should I take you back to him? If I do what are you going to give me?" Goku asked the Turtle.
"Uhhh. I don't have anything to give you. But I promise to ask the Turtle hermit to give you some kind of reward." The Turtle said to Goku.
Bingo. Goku thought as he have a smirk on his face.
