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!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje8dM4F3OC
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyT3uufdCm
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdFEyxu7Pq
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!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSzaY02aKC
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUY6tamNmg
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpMdOM1F1m
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvx5X1lFxQ
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2d6nr3ivJ
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZsbW6hhqe
Goten: Aw.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeMtxk7dXW
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv2qYj80bw
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsyUZrMrCv
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?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl7fYfSfFT
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xSqodaT9J
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPQOhGkP4N
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQMDVVkQt1
Goten: Right…
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrZ9r9qpGU
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH1lRLUpe7
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepfdA7Injt
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JTjfhMkWL
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXjmQHEYSl
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXICK9ok8y8
She said letting out a big sigh.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavKgRk1Ifg
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLjmhmamY6
Videl giggled.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJmbH5RA0g
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGbX1TfBEt
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dc2ZxkEYh
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaGNKWPbln
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Wcserqtc
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOqQWNPHQw
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnE7FFKCUF
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsl8TzryEA
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnWKKBqeBv
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?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zdvF9fbg3
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKBJIHAYt1
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmEifWOAcY
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X1aGtVaH3
Goku: Crap!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfUPeLIiIk
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF1dOd5Gfn
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh06kGnQTRZ
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIJCzsP5AA
Goku: Everything is fine!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYQF6fM1Nm
He said in a panic.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BjjfW5BRJ
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5005aG0mK
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6JqKVVFKC
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJn2hCx7xf
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhEXg9RIN3
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW60QJL6dx7
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLJiGI8MX8
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipajmqsxzO
Gohan: Dad!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjnsLnnkUG
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYq06MasKv
Goku: Huh?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05eOXE3ZMF
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWpuB2UOq9
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG2v3UJLxy
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXwKdme3Wa
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXUPtQ72zU
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPe9W0t04v
Goku: I'm not sure.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ815HzAz4wm
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM6CPp7XjU
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!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKEomGnRlu
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6sLTNDyS6
