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!
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ83RvF85ZI
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pagSKpyns
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubAydMK5Ym
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!
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw60n7Mr0dL
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOsKeShK1a
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZnr7ZEbYL
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEW5FmGes1
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKfCEZyImX
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu1TojGBXs
Goten: Aw.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2XihpgiUj
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3cSdvhisb
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?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD0JEPaHLu
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmdxG7Nitv
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEW92xtoHC
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM5j4SJRMo
Goten: Right…
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomPGrba1Yn
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnKrGne9Bn
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70CgCAxVhi
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv27VfyH4zs
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNoiV1JJxB
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyisbf3pjmQ
She said letting out a big sigh.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZseUj2lute
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtj9up9RNr
Videl giggled.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G6gUUorC8
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6V9UQrR69
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFNSRgvHYO
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSzfiS3hTY
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWrDelYdEn
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pSK2MQwQh
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE5MEECV3O
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGguZgFtsCE
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4WfiegIsF
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?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnnlDItXqY
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILtTRKmcTw
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnQrM9c8Fi
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDAQ5VsHcB
Goku: Crap!
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFgJdwxtDu
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfDZqqBBI5
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO774x01ZNA
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdoBaXnV2n
Goku: Everything is fine!
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvvXGOM2Hr
He said in a panic.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonUsgona5L
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxKZMwY6Y4
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHTlrXs0aI
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6uHSEo7gM
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOMuXZhBKT
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr4kcLDMgu
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TEw0qHRfl
Gohan: Dad!
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF236oJslv
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9IcqLrJrE
Goku: Huh?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUKW11ehee
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pg18rxKto
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NBhuZGsqt
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSCuyaqw22
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVcZWAe3jd
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP2B4Q2kVP
Goku: I'm not sure.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFs5cpWFKb
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.
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjy56qhVIj
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!
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefvWJgYLog
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
