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!
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvCBrmNJeD
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifqWFgkjvO
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbtm1qtx2D
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!
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cKlo5iBvh
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsMp7ZuGAi
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjdXk6sU6k
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AeCWVpzRd
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIDsJJBhE5
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg2p1h9ifh
Goten: Aw.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRanXKEdk2B
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyt6YOA9C1
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?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV46BXjYOR
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPVoZKHQvi
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC0HCV0zTd
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gzAonRfse
Goten: Right…
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidQ4Ag1UXM
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu46mQS3FO
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhMaFXoAwA
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ugvqrnYGE
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNw1q6ZdAA
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2cDQ178dy
She said letting out a big sigh.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Zlv26Tkm
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPnyZsfnr4
Videl giggled.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoVIMh03RQ
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VZF2RZZT8
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfMF5itJqZ
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1wP7LssW6
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b7JbC2Y7j
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.

Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdl10PaHcN
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUfvWDzDkf
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFCJcH6IUH
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?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzm9DZuoBm
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuz1TGoz7c
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG90jR6i0g
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI7dWmqN6Z
Goku: Crap!
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsAsAD3xdG
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcITdxXNQjA
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUIOUsXFX4
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv9quc58y5
Goku: Everything is fine!
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClTEOyWQ38
He said in a panic.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsBOmEqIAl
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZImRNwc139
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJReQiV40g4
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVw8EgJkBA
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ5nFSvC6A
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VBo1nzDr2
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DSQdcRDAX
Gohan: Dad!
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw2FnNeSwz
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmtK7o89Wq
Goku: Huh?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkntVnNxAoW
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMl43RoJeM
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV7EuM3CFM
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t6QgldVZH
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERW5PWvrOP
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x5FopnOXD
Goku: I'm not sure.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhe3pHvjUM
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.
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyCkGq9Fwp
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!
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCsY6NfWEV
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
