The sun had set. Goku was home dining with his family. He didn't have anywhere to train much other than the occasional spar with the gentle giant, Broly, after receiving his next task from his current master, Whis. With no proper chance to train, he spent more time at home.

Chi-chi: Goku! Stop staring at your food. You're scaring Goten!
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IANzIhrIG
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQWA8kGLJ2
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNBpPEE504
Goten: Are you okay dad? You've been acting kind of strange today. You barely even touched your food. But I'm not complaining! That just means more for me haha!
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWTMyuP2Or
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJXjo9zMgC
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LoPEbwPq5
Chi-chi: We should go visit Gohan! I'm sure he wouldn't mind going a few rounds with you. You've already turned him into a delinquent, at the very least take advantage of it.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF4nuOQbTb
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeBTipprUm
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMzGLHZp0J
Goten: Aw.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ1qS19sIa
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrxdMyAGDi
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQNmNOOktJ
Goku: That guy, is he really me? I don't know what it is, but I feel like he understands something I don't. Could this be what Whis meant by finding balance in my life?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHql70sCNC
His thoughts went on for another hour before he finally dozed off to a deep sleep. The night flew by and soon came the next day. Goku had awoken at the perfect hour to catch Gohan at a good time.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM0OZ0QgAv
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y3JxmbIPA
Chi-chi: Goten, make sure to bring your homework. Your big brother Gohan will probably be glad to tutor you once he's done with your dad.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z0dCgEBWp
Goten: Right…
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Acv8KSHRI
They both huddled up against Goku so he could teleport them to Gohan's place. They arrived in a n instant, proceeding to ring the doorbell. Videl answered the door, welcoming the guests in.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlVtwb9HNx
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyzEJmzLoS
Chi-chi: Oh, Goku here was itching for another fight and Gohan has gotten a lot stronger recently so he thought we could stop by here for a quick round.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnISYqJUvv
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw1w0ROlDx
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUOwPiQK1X
She said letting out a big sigh.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8pg1jTnzg
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsZKjXn20O
Videl giggled.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CFIvhxqEu
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr0nsv04PZ
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJVAg1tNzM
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYkUgo456Q
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK3xTMireU
Gohan: Well that's not exactly what I had in mind for today. But sure! How about we have some breakfast first though, I'm sure you don't want to pass on that dad.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC17Mr4U7io
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ9HN7PMr7
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn37gxQN9f1
He asked as he lifted her up. Pan giggled andshook her arms and legs around in excitement. Goku smiled before putting her down and holding her properly again.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Rsrc6FB3
Goku: She's sure bigger than the last time I saw her. She's half saiyan and earthling so I bet even as a baby she's strong. Maybe I could test it, just a little?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYIPxYJWxE
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lNwpIW2p7
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdYd5zRSwj
Goku stretched out his arm and flicked his granddaughter who reacted just in time to block the attack. However, she wasn't powerful enough to withstand the force and was knocked against a wall.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSCThGvQ8Y
Goku: Crap!
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn2pnsVMfV
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxanbLvfpH2
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ399iPTNL3G
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQqXLpErQ8
Goku: Everything is fine!
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ZKuEHGPT
He said in a panic.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOgGL4mBrF
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5Ma1Os3W7
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLiShiA7d8
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGGREofv5d
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gwWZ6uY90
Goku made his way to the kitchen. The table was full, with all sorts of breakfast delights. The entire family sat down to enjoy their meal. As Goku sat down to eat, he ate slowly and patiently as opposed to his usual habit of chowing down his meals in seconds. His expression was that of desperation. He fell deep within his thoughts while everyone else took pleasure in eating their meal.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ILE3ZVxTk
Goku: This is all I could ask for right? A happy united family, amazing meals, and some strong friends and family I can spar with for fun. Why am I having doubts? I've never considered a different life, so why is it only now that this meal we share seems so trivial to the actual reason I'm here? I'm not that desperate for a good fight am I? There's more to enjoy right now.

The house suddenly shook with a force similar to an earthquake. The family panicked for a second, searching for the the source of the disturbance.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjNSJe0CFI
Gohan: Dad!
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8AAvf3EiY
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Kea8J1jl
Goku: Huh?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ1V3j5RCQ
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d5tfy4f7k
Goku looked down at his foot, realizing he had been tapping it on the ground intensely the entire time he had spent managing his thoughts. He immediately stopped his foot and turned back to his son.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43aXoJArnY
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM8GqT66uo
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7z6aLI79W
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2xrrLx8Zt
Goku: I'm not sure.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1mGlkLWJn
Gohan smiled and stood up from his seat, with a look of determination in his eyes. He turned a joint in his watch and instantly changed into his heroic getup. Gohan changed his tone of voice into an enthusiastic mood.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3KorRl4CC
Gohan: I see the problem here! It seems this warrior is looking for a powerful opponent worth his time! Luckily for him, the mighty Great Saiyaman is here to fulfill his request!
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdPVzk1tcc
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlASnBXQKh1
