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!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbXsgXyVr3
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23B68VIemB
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKNChTpHW6
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!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA6wMLTvdr
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5ZhBL8jXe
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3jIDUjGGC
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o6Teeavg1
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlJ9fPxtFz
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycPVbQ5DB4
Goten: Aw.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w4bk1deFP
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6jDEOMLQF
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzoySvHB9w
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?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu6N6H1gIQ
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOicp4Yb9yG
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswQjc4ZgEn
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwgsusybeH
Goten: Right…
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdQKPulkzO
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykA9hn43h8
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOaJgcFFs5
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZtJ5mL0oI
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLK4ultwfy
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYArzoN2XKz
She said letting out a big sigh.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPD7cBt1vO
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoClA2TFEFO
Videl giggled.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZB6n2fQfV
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFhz6cT514
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI2BTaAICV
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUu9tIL6Xv
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd5QLEbnd2
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CA148aBhY
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC4ohDXMpQ
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0R4PabmU3
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dflC4YIqT
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?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWdg3x052P
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZZkAoBwdo
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEzXHAByYf
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN6DNSLoHk
Goku: Crap!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOkFJ9Vg3d
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBWD2YZsHH
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lgIIhygUK
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMm232lgp7
Goku: Everything is fine!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hj0A582fc
He said in a panic.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL95LxQ7ut9
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5dcdOuUzd
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m5qrZqvEE
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn42RrPkA0
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX2ndK6OMw
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj2HXhRz18
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFaowsfYBE
Gohan: Dad!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOwMkVhIsb
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypaXGGvKMM
Goku: Huh?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvIVmolXuy
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrbv4VNd5j
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoGXsjXqMj
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWm1x6HXYQ
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnGPJSbYmH
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K24uOB4vH
Goku: I'm not sure.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLTEfFiDgb
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.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtA4BwgF9O
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!
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnoPbKHHgG
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnp2Vh7EPz
