It had been twelve years since Goku and Sunset arrived. Both had made great strides in their training, both were mediating together under a tree outside of the hut. It had been expanded over years to have three separate bedrooms and a private kitchen, Gohan was writing on his tdesk.

They were interrupted when they heard a loud sound coming up the dirt path to the hut, Goku saw a strange looking vehicle approaching the hut. Sunset only noticed the two people’s energy inside the vehicle, frowned as Goku looked almost ready to engage “Calm yourself, I doubt they are a threat.”

The vehicle stopped as a young teenager with blue hair stepped out, she was carrying a strange device. Following her was a teenage bipedal light purple fox with dark sapphire hair that had streak of purple and raspberry carrying a strange weapon. The blue haired teenager looked up from the device “Twilight, put down the Ion Taser. We need to find the Dragon Ball.”

Twilight exclaimed “Bulma, what if there is something dangerous around here! We almost got eaten by a dinosaur on the way here!”

Bulma shook her head and looked back down, the pair were heading up the road. Sunset frowned “What are you two doing here?”

Bulma looked up at them “Oh, I’m just collecting Dragon Balls. What is a kid and a young teenager doing up on this mountain, you really shouldn’t be here.”

Sunset frowned “We live here, my father is in the hut. Also I am seventy years old and before you ask, my species ages much more slowly than humans.”

Bulma looked at them “Well do you know if you have seen something orange with multiple stars on each one. It’s called a Dragon Ball and if you collect all of them they grant wishes.”

Sunset deadpanned “I’m blind, whatever you are looking for is something I can’t see. I can see the energies coming off your bodies as well as other living things. Look just come inside and we’ll discuss this further.”

Twilight frowned as they followed Sunset and Goku “Why doesn’t that boy say something, can he speak?”

Sunset rolled her eyes as they approached the door “Of course my son can speak, he just doesn’t trust a bunch of random people he doesn’t know. I am the only reason he didn’t attack you on sight, I only letting you in because I can keep an eye on you.”

Twilight clenched her weapon but Bulma turned to her and shook her head “The Dragon Ball is in there.”

Gohan frowned as they entered “You are here for the Dragon Ball. It one of the seven that grants wishes, I can’t just allow anyone to take it. Sunset is right to bring in but note that many who search for them end up coming to an unfortunate end.”

Sunset frowned “Before denying them outright, I have an idea. I believe Goku would benefit from seeing the world as would I. Maybe if they take us along with as bodyguards, we can assure their safety and make sure they have pure intentions. “

Gohan smiled “Very well Sunset, I’ll retrieve the Dragon Ball and entrust it to your care.” He then turned to Goku “Take care of your mother for me, Goku.”

Goku nodded energetically “Of course I will Grandpa.”

Gohan walked back to his desk and pulled out a small yellow marked with four stars from a drawer. Gohan placed it in a bag and passed it to Sunset carefully, Sunset put the bag over one shoulder. Goku and Sunset both waved as they exited the building “Farewell, Grandpa/Dad.”

They followed Bulma and Twilight back to the strange vehicle, Twilight opened the door so they could both get in. Sunset sat on the right side and Goku sat next to her, Twilight and Bulma took their seats in front. Bulma turned back “Are you belted in?”

Sunset frowned “Why would we need a belt, we are not wearing suits?”

Twilight giggled “No, it’s a strap that looks like a belt to keep you in your seat in case of a crash. They should be next to you, just look to your side.”

Sunset facepalmed “I told you that I’m blind less than ten minutes ago, I can’t see this seat belt. Where I was born we didn’t have vehicles like this, the closest thing we had was a carriage as a whole we are quite an athletic species and often traveling on hoof was enough.”

Bulma frowned “You must have come a remote village, this is a car. Basically a motorised carriage.”

Sunset sighed as Goku buckled her in before doing that for himself, Sunset frowned “How many Dragon Balls do you have anyway?”

Bulma shook a bag next to her “Three including the one you have, there are four more we need to grant the wish.”

Bulma started the car and they took off, a couple of hours later it started to get dark. They got out and Sunset frowned “So are we camping out or do you have some way to make a shelter.” Bulma pulled out a capsule and tossed it down, a huge half sphere house popping out of the capsule. Sunset looked up at the building with a smirk “That’s pretty impressive, I must admit. Does it have a bath?”

Twilight nodded “Of course, what kind of home doesn’t have a proper bath.”

Goku frowned “We don’t have one of those things at Grandpa’s place, what is it?”

Bulma frowned “He doesn’t know what a bath is, how do you guys clean yourselves without one? I mean you live in the wilderness, don’t you get dirty?”

Sunset giggled “We bath in the rivers and streams nearby, getting running water so far away from a major city is difficult. I spent many of my younger years in a grand castle, tethered to a mighty mountain by the greatest of magics. It would take immense power to shatter those bonds.”

Twilight smiled “Maybe one day I will be able to join you when you head there, sounds like a marvelous place.”

Sunset sighed “I am technically in exile, I can’t return there anymore.” She shook her head “Besides I have a happy family here, that is more than I ever had back home.” Sunset then giggled to herself “I hope you have enough food, my son eats a lot of food.” The group four entered the house, all ready to eat.
