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!
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEzLl2CBmt
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyPumtHw7R
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rQUufiSSy
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!
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPIh9ESuuC
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtXHEH4Ylh
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XYa59mmg8
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEAhsUioR1
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Yk3ffONb
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzracapBZS
Goten: Aw.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObtBpO79mq
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.

The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITMgWXPl34
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?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1DQKhqmUA
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji7sUxfLiI
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5HBuXqA8Y
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSUwMNtwII
Goten: Right…
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0q3wk5seu
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4gIatDuPn
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FDJmft7Mc
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH9bVpnBUc
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccCkoaRysZ
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX7bmpegem
She said letting out a big sigh.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScZmeqhreP
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbzW9igHLZ
Videl giggled.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysw9DJ7P7O
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68vaBa8ZWc
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedipmZubuE
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERU9EVihz8
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC4EjG9RGs
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm6eMhxBQw
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xVA38awRL
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXJWnbLcAx
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PzkwyndnA
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?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62E0Qj8dtc
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAncfsfFV4
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkncEBhyTO
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeAm1SZLjg
Goku: Crap!
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER1jWCtmJE
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSdhNFiu7D
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGQoiCoQyC
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFeNyfRhmv
Goku: Everything is fine!
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpqu1iftOQ
He said in a panic.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GQrJgrzo2
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigAAZJMsk6
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrqHNnw8pq
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ivl5u5Tn
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduV1tpDQQb
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlU6K1FbTl
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl3B8VmPk2
Gohan: Dad!
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8eA9wGmiH
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSc3VRRW4g
Goku: Huh?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9PtviN55z
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHMLndtZkC
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzA5j6CYpU
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyeMWdz0QM
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSy8U19mYp
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN4cA08ZRb
Goku: I'm not sure.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw7DD642W0
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.
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJXAFEYUc5
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!

Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
