Summary:

Sea Monkeys
As Goku and Bulma are getting ready for the day, Bulma cannot seem to focus on nothing but her hair, making Goku wonder why she's moving like a turtle. Bulma gets angry and goes on about being polite to older people and calling her "Miss," but Goku disregards. Bulma then asks if he wants some coffee, but all Goku wants to do is go out and get some exercise. He runs out and then picks up a rock and encases it in his arm and breaks it to pieces. He then runs over to another "rock" and appears to pick up a turtle. As the turtle gets put down, Goku can only stammer out that Bulma really did turn into a turtle, until Bulma sticks her head out the door, asking why Goku is talking to himself. Everyone gets confused, while Goku yells out that it isn't Bulma. Bulma investigates that the turtle is a sea turtle and is very far inland. The turtle then asks for a bucket of seawater, which Bulma happily gets. As the turtle gulps it down, he gives a sigh of relief afterwards. Afterwards, the turtle explains that he was searching for mushrooms a while ago, took a wrong turn, and got lost. Bulma explains that he has been going the wrong way and for a very long ways as well. She tells him that it's about 120 kilometers the opposite way, in which Goku wonders if he can see the sea. Bulma steps in, telling him she's only got thirty days of summer left and doesn't want to go around helping turtles. Bulma then tells him to go, since she will never go after him and never let him back into her life. The turtle gets on Goku's back and they run off.

Afterwards, Bulma thinks about how she never got that Dragon Ball, when her eyes peer over to see a huge dinosaur rumble across a plain. Bulma then speeds in a bike to Goku, trying to make them stop. She finally does and they argue a bit, but then start up again. As they run along, a huge bear, with a sword, is spying on them, waiting for them to come by. As they get closer, he jumps out, telling them to stop and to let him eat the sea turtle. Bulma then tells Goku to give up the turtle, but Goku just sticks his tongue out. The bear remarks that he is a wise guy and needs to give it to save his life. Bulma yells that Goku give the turtle now, since the world is full of them. The bear then pulls back his sword and gets ready to swing, when Goku puts the turtle down, and dodges the swipe of the sword. Goku appears behind him, while the bear compliments him on his speed, while Bulma tells Goku to hurry up and jump on the bike and get going. He bear takes another swing, but Goku lands on top and appears next to the bear's head. Goku then yells out, "Rock, scissors...PAPER!" and knocks the bear out, by hitting him between the eyes.

Afterwards, Goku tells them that they can go now. Bulma stammers out that she knew he was strong, but didn't know this strong. Goku then goes up to the turtle and asks if turtles really do taste as good as the bear said, but the turtle pleads for his life, trying to come up with every negative way possible to make Goku not to like turtles. Goku then lets the turtle on his, telling him that he doesn't look good anyway, while the turtle gives out a sigh of major relief. Finally, they made it, to the sea. Goku yells out that this a very big river, when Bulma explains that this isn't a river, but a vast body of water. The turtle tells him that this cannot go unrewarded, so he would go and come back with something for him. As Goku and Bulma wait, they wade in the ocean, while Goku tries to take a sip of ocean, remarking the bad salty taste. A little while later, Goku sees a dot coming, and gets bigger, to reveal that it's an old man, riding the turtle. As they land, the old man says his hello, while the turtle tells them that they will be rewarded. The old man gets off, while Bulma remarks that all they need is a old man, probably perverted.
