Hello guys! Another oneshot! This was supposed to be a short Drabble for my Friends friend, and I kinda started day dreaming up a backstory and couldn't let it go to waste. I also used up my power juice and ended with an unsatisfactory ending. So without a further ado~
R: DRAGON BALL SERIES WAS NEVER OWNED BY ME, IF IT WAS, IT'D BE ONLY ONE EPISODE AND 100 YEARS WORTH OF PROCRASTINATION! (plus Goku will forever stay a child if I was able to help it)

"Thanks for the ride, Bulma!" Goku thanked Bulma.
Bulma just sighs as she drops Goku off, they've known each other since they were in their teens, but not even puberty or school makes him more mature than he still is.
She's already finished college and has a high paying job, but Goku was just starting college. Goku is new to his college and he won't be having all of his friends there.
Although his friends seemed to be creeped out by his strength, they still stuck to him until the end of high school.
—
Goku looked around and tried to spot his friends he made as a middle schooler. Strangely enough only Krillin was there. There are two more who are already adults, although one is "a stinkin old perverted man", or what so Bulma said.
He hasn't seen Yamucha since Bulma's break up with him, and he wasn't surprised that Tien and Chiaotzu weren't here, since they've been collecting money by street acts.
Goku walks over in overeager-ness, and before Krillin could do anything, Goku hugged him tightly.
Goku shouted in happiness, "Krillin!"
"AAAHHH YOU CAN TAKE MY MONEY, BUT NOT MY HAT!"
"Krillin?" Goku asks in confusion.
"A-ah.. G-Goku is th-that you?"
"Yup!" Goku says.
Krillin just stands there, agaped, 'since when did Goku get more muscles?!'
"Hey Krillin, do you know where the dorms are?" Goku just randomly spouts out, "I kinda got lost.. Ehehe.."
Krillin face palms, 'Same old Goku.'
"Here's my paper, I don't know what the numbers are for."
Krillin slaps his face even harder, 'H-how the hell did he graduate high school.'
"Uh, Krillin?" Goku waves his hand in front of Krillin as he spaced out.
"Wh-Wha?.. Oh.." Krillin looks dumbfounded before clearing his throat, "Uhh, down that hall and the third room to the left I believe."
"Really? Thanks!" Goku thanks Krillin.
Krillin obviously knew this because he was looking for his dorm, but luckily he remembered Goku's dorm because his dorm is in front of his own.
Goku waved a goodbye as he ran down the hallway Krillin pointed at and opened his dorm only to find a guy in weird green and blue clothing.
"Uh hi?" Goku says getting his bearings as he looked around the room, "Are you my roommate?"
The guy turns around and looks at Goku in astonishment, "Kakarot? I-I though you died!"
"Huh?" Goku was utterly confused, It was like that Chichi incident all over again!
The guy looked confused as well, since Goku didn't seem to recognize him, "Uh well, I've known you when we were both kids, you and your brother would play with me."
Goku was even more confused, "uh, You must have mistaken me for a different person named Kakarot, my name is Goku, also I'm an only child!"
The guy was not letting this go, "I want to know, I don't know anyone else named Kakarot or Raditz, plus no one can have the same hairstyle as you!"
"Raditz?.. Kakarot?" Goku said the word, it was a weird name for a brother, "Who the hell is Raditz?!"
The guy sighs, "It seems I haven't introduced myself either, my name's Vegeta. Maybe we could talk a bit tomorrow about this."
Goku was unsure, but since it seemed to make this Vegetarian guy happy, maybe he'll invite Master Roshi to help this guy, "Sure, Vegetarian guy."
Vegeta just groans at the old nickname, 'Yup that's definitely Kakarot.'
— next day (Saturday)
Goku got up early in the morning, and got up to go to a restaurant to eat their food. As he was about to put on a jacket he remembered the kinda promise he made with Vegetarian guy.
Before he left he went to the guy's bedroom and knocked on his door once before Vegetarian guy opened the door.
"Hey, Vegetarian guy! I was gonna go get breakfast." Greeted Goku, "but then I remembered about what we are gonna do today, and I'll also bring Master Roshi at Lunch so we can sort this whole deal out!"
Bomb
Goku, being the black hole he is, started bugging Vegeta to hurry after a few minutes of waiting, whining about his food.
"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'M ALMOST DONE!" Vegeta says, coming out of his dorm while trying to put his socks on.
He was still wearing Green and Blur clothing, but his jacket hid a lot of it away from view.
—
After a few tales that vegeta shared of them as children, and Goku making both of their money disappear, they went to the dorms with more food and snacked the day away, while Goku called Master Roshi.
"Hello?" An elderly voice came on.
"Oh hey! Master Roshi!" Goku greets him on the phone.
"Hello, Goku.." Master Roshi paused, "Why are you calling already? Did you already used up your money?"
"Nope! But this guy named Vegetarian says he knew me when we were kids! Can you come over to lunch to talk about it with him?"
(Wow generic rush plot up there... welp *Shrugs*)
The perverted man sighs and mutters, "I was just about to watch this too.."
"HUH?" Goku yells at the phone, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
The elderly man sputters, "A-ah, I didn't say anything! But I'll join you for lunch, you're paying though."
— (Lunch time)
Goku and Vegeta already plowed in their monstrosity of an order, allegedly waiting for this 'Master Roshi'.
When he came and joined Goku was already almost done with his food and Vegeta was finished with his.
After they all ate, they started speaking.
"So I hear that you've played with Goku when you were young?" Master Roshi started.
Vegeta nods, "I believe so, Goku looks like the little boy I used to play with, along with his brother."
"Brother?" Master Roshi questions.
Vegeta nods again, but said nothing else.
Goku explains, "Well you see, I don't remember Vegetarian at all, so I think he has it all mistakenly."
Master Roshi looks at both of them with a knowing glance, before sighing, "This is going to be a long conversation."
Goku and Vegeta looks at him confusion but sat still as Master Roshi himself explains Goku's Origins.
"Goku's Grandfather, Son Gohan adopted Goku at a young age, I don't remember when, but he was young. Goku, you remember when you were about seven your grandfather passed away, and you were sent to live with me."
Goku nods, "Yeah."
"Well We were great friends and Krillin also came, we all became in friendly terms, but there's a story Gohan and I haven't told you before."
Goku was confused, was it important?
"Before you were in the Orphanage you, your real Father and brother were in a huge accident. I'm not sure what it was exactly, but it was very traumatic, and it ended up taking your brother and father's lives away. you were hospitalized for months and when you woke up, you didn't remember anything and when anyone tried to explain, it only tugged on your tired brain before slipping again. You were lucky enough to only have a few scars on you, but I suspect it was worse for your mind. I only told you now since you were interested on this topic along with Vegetarian."
Vegeta slams his head on the table, first he gets crucial information and the next the old man is calling him nicknames.
"Oh. That isn't your real name?" The perverted man says, "I suspected so, since it really isn't a good nickname either."
Vegeta faces back upwards, "How come Kakarot's name isn't Kakarot anymore? He keeps saying it's (*insert the word, me*) Goku!"
Cough* Asmr Roleplay *Cough*
"Hmm.." The man thought deeply, "Oh! I beliece Gohan wanted to change his name. It might have been hard for him to pronounce the word 'Kakarot'."
Vegeta looked surprised, "Really? I think it's easy to say."
Master Roshi just replies, "Not everyone has a good accent to say that."
Goku was surprised with all of this, but after the conversation ended he was about to burst with questions.
:) I'm bored now so Imma stop this here. — Where I stopped.
