DEAN'S POV—
After flying for almost an hour, I reached the Papaya Island. Finding a secluded location, I landed there. Not to seem like a madman, I started conversing with Lit in my mind.
'Lit. Do you have some money with you? OG Goku hadn't had any with me.' Argh! I am talking like a thief, who steals from people's dead bodies.
[Yeah, Dean. I can provide you all the money you need. It could be of any currency.]
'Good,' I looked at the clothes that were on my body, 'I want to change these clothes.'
Entering a garments shop, I bought some clothes with the money given by Lit and changed into it. Today's the last day of registration in the Martial Arts Tournament. In the cannon, OG Goku meets up with his friends. But my behaviour is very much different than that of OG Goku. They might suspect me. While I can't behave like OG Goku, I can at least behave decently. I have to be careful. All I need is to make them believe that I am the real one. With that I started heading towards the tournament's location.
Reaching there, I found the people who I was preparing for. Walking towards them, I stood near Bulma. She really looks good. Seeing me looking intently at her, she blushed. Removing my gaze from her, said, "Well, it's good to see you all here."
Krillin asked, "Huh? Do we know you?"
Master Roshi said, "I don't think I know you, but you look familiar."
I smiled at his words. I said, "It's me, guys! I am Goku."
Everyone was shocked from my words. Hmmm? My gaze fell on Launch. If Bulma was a lotus, then, Launch was like a rose. A rose with thorns that is.
Bulma stuttered, "Y-you c-can't be Goku!! H-he wasn't t-this—"
"Handsome?" I provided, making her blush even more. Sorry, Vegeta but I am going to make Bulma mine. You are my favourite character but, I am not going to compromise on her. I want her.
I continued, "Bulma. Remember, when we first met you hit with the car," I looked at Master Roshi, "you are the one, who not only gave me the Flying Nimbus but also, trained me. Ah! I know. You are confused because of this cap," I pointed at the cap, "wait, let me remove it." With that, I removed my cap. This spiky hair of mine would do the trick.
Their eyes widened in recognition. The expression of Bulma was priceless. I leaned my head towards her ear. I whispered, "Close your mouth. We don't want anything useless to enter your mouth now, do we?" Straightening up, I saw Bulma to turn even more red.
Just as I was about to tease her more, someone interrupted me. It was Yamcha. He yelled, "Goku! It's been nice to see you again. You have really improved your wardrobe sense." What the fuck is he yelling about? This bastard interrupted my sweet time with her. Controlling my urge, I nodded.
I said, "Yes, I have."
Krillin smiled, "Buddy, you have grown much taller." He hugged me. Having no other choice, I hugged him back.
I smiled, "I have. But you are still short and bald too." Hearing my words, he pushed me away. He yelled, "You haven't changed at all. You are still crude like before." With that, everyone laughed loudly. You have no idea, buddy. I have changed. I have changed completely.
Master Roshi said, "You should all go and register your names. The time is almost up."
He is right. We entered the registration booth, and registered ourselves. Getting out from there, Master Roshi said, "Now that's it over. I have booked a hotel for us," he turned towards me, "I have booked for you as well, Goku. Come with us."
I looked towards Bulma and mouthed, "Will you be there?"
She blushed and nodded. I said, "Let's go then."
