Summary
The next morning everyone is reflecting on what had happened the previous night. Goku and Pu'er are still sleeping, and Bulma's vest has been placed over Goku to cover his nakedness. Oolong thinks it was terrible that Goku put them in such a dilemma, but Yamcha thinks it was good, since it gave them the chance to escape. Bulma thinks it is best they do not tell him about what happened. Goku finally wakes up as Oolong wonders if Goku is an alien.
It does not take long for Goku to wonder where his clothes went. Bulma tells Oolong to give Goku the underwear, but he refuses and instead gives Goku his own pants. As Goku puts on the pants, he makes fun of Oolong for having such short legs. Goku suddenly falls over and Yamcha says it is probably because he is not used to balancing without his tail. Goku then looks at his back, and cannot believe his tail is gone, but then decides he does not care, and everyone falls over. He wonders about his Nyoi-Bō now, and Yamcha says it is probably still at the castle. Goku falls down every few seconds as he runs over there to get it.
Oolong wonders what they should do now, since it will be a year before they can use the Dragon Balls again. Bulma and Yamcha are both disappointed that it will be another year before they get their wishes for a dreamy boyfriend and a woman to marry. They suddenly both get a realization and face each other. Goku then returns with Nyoi-Bō, falling down along the way, and asks Oolong why he is so annoyed. Oolong points over at Yamcha and Bulma, who are blissfully holding hands and dancing, along with Pu'er. Oolong does not like this at all, and Goku thinks they are acting strange.
Bulma tells Goku that she and Yamcha are going to the city, and asks Goku if he wants to come along. Goku says he really wants to go train with the Turtle Hermit to get stronger. Bulma asks Oolong what he will do, and he decides he will go to the city too, since there will be lots of girls. Goku wants to gather the Dragon Balls again in a year, but Bulma and Yamcha say they do not need them anymore. Goku still wants to find his Grandpa's memento, but does not know how to find them, so Bulma gives him the Dragon Radar as a present. Yamcha pulls out a capsule, and out comes an airplane. He tells Goku to do his best with Muten Rōshi. Goku then calls for Kinto'un, and they all say "bye bye" and go their separate ways.
