Sunset was looking over the kitchen “We may need to start foraging soon, Goku eats an equivalent of twenty courses every meal. There is not enough food here for him.”

Bulma blinked “Does he really need to eat that much?’

Sunset nodded “He isn’t human, whatever species he comes from has a much more ravenous appetite than humans. I often had to catch giant fish to feed him, trust me it’s unhealthy for him if he doesn’t get enough food.”

Bulma sighed “Well at least it is not a major concern for the moment but we will need to figure something out in the future.” Sunset began to cook up the meal for the four of them, Twilight looked on in awe when they came in with a huge platter as well as three other normal sized plates.”

One they were placed onto the table, Goku dug in with intense vigour. Sunset waved her arm at the dumbstruck Bulma and Twilight “Eat before your food gets cold. I will not cook anymore for you if it gets cold.”

With that they turned to their own food, the meal went on in silence. Sunset took the dishes to the kitchen and washed them all up, Goku yawned “I think it’s time for rest.”

Sunset returned “We’re going to take a bath before bed, trust me son you will enjoy it. It’s the perfect thing after a long day.” She took him into the bathroom, she stepped onto the white tiled floor and looked around, a plain sink and toilet were present. There was moderately sized bath in the corner.

Sunset took off her gi, Goku began to do the same as she started to fill the bath with warm water. Once it was full Sunset stepped in and laid down, she sighed as the warm water caressed her muscles. She smiled “Come in and join me son, the water is quite nice.”

Goku hopped in, splashing a bit of water out of the bath. He started to relax, he smiled “You’re right mum, this is rather relaxing.”

They simply laid there relaxing, they heard Bulma knock on the door “I have left some clothes out for you two, you didn't take any clothes in with you.”

After a couple of hours they got out of the bath, Sunset grabbed one of the towels and passed another to Goku “It’s easier to dry yourself with these then to shake the water off.” After drying themselves, Sunset took the clothes in.

Sunset put on a set dark blue pajamas as did Goku and they headed to bed. The next morning they found their gis that were laying on the bed fully washed, a note on the bed read

To Sunset and Goku

I took of the liberty of washing your martial arts uniforms, my brother is also a marital artist and takes great pride in his skill as police officer. He still has old uniform back home and I know how important it is to him, so I figured yours would be the same.

From Twilight

Sunset and Goku changed into their gis, they were greeted with breakfast already on the table. Sunset took a seat next to Bulma with Goku sitting next to his mother and Twilight, Bulma waved an arm “There a few dragon balls coming up on the radar, the closest one is coming from a nearby desert.”

Sunset nodded as she ate, Twilight frowned “Wasn’t that where a notorious group of bandits live? Are you sure it would be wise to go down there?”

Sunset finished her breakfast as Goku was still digging into his platter, before could add anything they were interrupted by a banging on the door. Sunset frowned “There is a turtle on the other side, he is knocking on the door.” She walked over and placed her hands on the door feeling for the knob.

Once she found knob she opened the door, the brown turtle looked up at her “Do you have some seaweed and salt water for me? I haven’t eaten in a long while.”

Sunset turned to the others “I need a bucket of seaweed and saltwater if you have any.”

Twilight nodded “We have some in the aquarium, you can take some if you like. Why”

Sunset frowned as Goku paused his meal to run off “The turtle needs something to eat.”Goku returned two minutes later with a bucket full of seaweed and salt water. The turtle dug into the seaweed, Sunset watching as Goku returned to his meal. Sunset frowned “What are you doing all the way out here?”

Turtle waved his fin as he finished eating “I left the ocean a year ago and I have spent all this time trying to find my way back.”

Sunset turned around “How far are we away from the ocean? This turtle has been trying to find his way back to it.”

Bulma shrugged “It’s 120 kilometres south of here, that turtle has been going the wrong way the entire time.”

Turtle’s eyes widened in shock “120 kilometres to the south, I’ll never make it that far! I’ll be eaten before I get there!”

Sunset returned to her room, grabbed her shoulder bag with the dragon ball in it. She came out of her room, she waved to Bulma and Twilight “I’ll be back in a little bit, I need to take this turtle back to the beach.”

Bulma and Twilight stood up “We only have thirty days to collect the dragon balls, we can’t waste time.”

Sunset smirked as she crouched down allowing Turtle to climb onto her back “I will gone for at most ten minutes, unless I get interrupted. I’ll return shortly.” Before another word could be spoken Sunset was already out of sight, bolting across the landscape at tremendous speed. A large bear with a sword leapt at her onto to be knocked into the sky as she ran past, soon she was at the beach.

Turtle smiled as she placed him into the water “Thank you so much! You really saved me!”

Sunset smiled “It’s what my father would have done, it was simply the right thing to do. I wish you luck on your way home.”

Turtle smiled as he swam off “I will return with a reward for you, I promise.” Sunset watched as he left only to return with a short, old bald man with white facial hair wearing a turtle shell on his back as well as carrying a wooden staff.

The man stepped off the boat, “Hello! I must thank you for rescuing my turtle! I am Kame Sennin or as my pupils call me Master Roshi!! I have a gift to offer you!”

Sunset raised an eyebrow “What do you plan on giving me?”

Master Roshi called out “COME TO ME, IMMORTAL PHOENIX!” Two whole minutes past and nothing happened.

Turtle turned to him nervously “Um, the Immortal phoenix died of food poisoning.”

Sunset shouted “WHAT HOW COULD YOU POISON A PHOENIX! THEY ARE SCARED CREATURES!”

Master Roshi rubbed his head “Right well maybe this will be an equally useful gift.” He then shouted “KIN TOUN, COME TO ME!” A yellow cloud rushed towards them, he smiled “This is Kin Toun and will fly you anywhere, the only catch is it will only allow of a pure heart to ride it.”

Sunset looked down nervously “I have hurt a lot of people in the past, I’m not sure I would be fit to use it.”

Turtle smiled “You helped me because it was the right thing to do. Try it.” Sunset nervously hopped on it and it supported her weight.

Sunset looked at Master Roshi “Do you have any idea about the Dragon Balls? I’m escorting a group who is looking for them and making sure they don’t make an evil wish. My adoptive father, Gohan gave me the Four Star Dragon Ball to care for.”

Roshi removed a yellow orb from his shirt “Very well, I will trust you with this. The Three Star Dragon Ball, Gohan was my pupil and you remind me of him.”

He chucked it at her and it smacked into her head before landing on the Kin Toun. Sunset glared at him “Did you not notice I was blind! I’m going back to Bulma!” She then waved to Turtle “Farewell Turtle.”

Sunset put the Dragon Ball in her bag and in a minute she returned to the group, Bulma frowned “You done with your little side venture?”

Sunset pulled out the three star Dragon Ball with a mighty grin “Turns out the holder of the Three Star Ball owned that turtle. Now we should find the rest then.” Bulma blinked in shock as Twilight shrugged.
