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!
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP8g4gJ6yd
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRVpScyyrp
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi6omZE38W
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!
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePoRElZUIz
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgqfK9K7Jg
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt3jehRRYb
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SDZ5p4UEf
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MY9KaYPd0
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RdSfCbKHQ
Goten: Aw.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrBScsAYPy
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuXvnuH0CW
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?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNwMJmoM5I
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEnNZyOeY2
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBe0XNd6RZ
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskgh2ieobE
Goten: Right…
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A1WeIZVY7
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRARjPGPqgV
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECYyjM281H
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM5Wxfy7qZ
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUbHjO1r58
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVBGbWCn6k
She said letting out a big sigh.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz1Tux6LhG
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgnhztZxwW
Videl giggled.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcd9xVeJ0q
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FPYAuOTVs
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7EaGGn2Hl
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2hqoE5vts
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD1viF2C0y
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLRvPvL8dX
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VDO6cjC6U
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJZWWO9gVe
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfO4FA1Qb8
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?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeUO2ITmHt
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazei5mpkXm
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xbyfDeqg9
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrUo29z06i
Goku: Crap!
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj06QxJocYi
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1bIbd6tLe
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz03Ya5L6k3
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi789TBosa
Goku: Everything is fine!
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl64vMMUh2q
He said in a panic.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmtzLUeohd
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZOHtoNDeE
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsIox8irAl
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbAoqNGqMN
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pP7l3zHy1
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDvmDq0ySf
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeqpN7WkaK
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4qZwhvwts
Gohan: Dad!
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3scrGBgie8
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx7u0y2gOi
Goku: Huh?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmjuJWWY5w
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2EbJHXWl8
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH7oIqJZKx
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4FJyKN2HL
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Jb0rZJfo
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSZ5fFZjsJ
Goku: I'm not sure.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvmJK0ohJT
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.
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXRgHTHKqI
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!
517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZkyVGavse
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
