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!
453Please respect copyright.PENANATyPHI1eDsG
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAUrdvFZ8CRA
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
453Please respect copyright.PENANA3LBq4Anl6v
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!
453Please respect copyright.PENANAWykjF9eEfW
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
453Please respect copyright.PENANA4rgzWgKxiG
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAGapkGAbHrK
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAv91XMFwGOx
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
453Please respect copyright.PENANAk8HgmLZasP
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAVA7yoH2lRM
Goten: Aw.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAq9pjgonoup
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAnXZ1eG9gXQ
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAiGOV890XNl
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?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAv1AoQuCWN7
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAy87BCeTNtU
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
453Please respect copyright.PENANAfwKwDc4Jfx
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAz2uMvCkL7v
Goten: Right…
453Please respect copyright.PENANAKjb9t2eJzq
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAwVw5u89WnB
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAuWgLPohJgh
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAYiKtVl5ZqJ
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAr7VbY5nOXp
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
453Please respect copyright.PENANArXakogBtdR
She said letting out a big sigh.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAwAsxmhgns0
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAOd53N4DlUY
Videl giggled.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAel9k8EvI25
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
453Please respect copyright.PENANACKln3dMPn6
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAXTjoT70pHT
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAWjUqCAGFUa
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAUo4GxbULV4
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANARWbBwExOMJ
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
453Please respect copyright.PENANA6RKXjoUDhb
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAhJCV7vME0D
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAvfCTLnfQhI
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?
453Please respect copyright.PENANACH3skDitDj
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAk8YH1a5Fbp
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAF4I4tYoMOL
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAWQvIE51T1b
Goku: Crap!
453Please respect copyright.PENANA1AbZXygxxx
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAA5RS86jzey
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
453Please respect copyright.PENANASg9asLQhRu
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAWFccgsj0yF
Goku: Everything is fine!
453Please respect copyright.PENANAcYJyAq1uMl
He said in a panic.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAXsuw9OL8UF
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAh90BZt1rUZ
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
453Please respect copyright.PENANALoqkimvQsZ
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
453Please respect copyright.PENANAmweWxd3I29
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
453Please respect copyright.PENANAsHD72JFsAm
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAtx9jcKSzvm
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAFyWZXrs1Ro
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAtkGx9xc7K5
Gohan: Dad!
453Please respect copyright.PENANA16gwIQp9gd
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAKvrbEv2TZA
Goku: Huh?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAZM8BCcPeEu
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
453Please respect copyright.PENANAHOZ3vdczXn
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANApgOStPGE2R
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAQHBSeC8Fo9
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAJejIOH0LXR
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
453Please respect copyright.PENANAule9Dpvawl
Goku: I'm not sure.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAqBnmQZMwU2
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.
453Please respect copyright.PENANArUErbBbfJl
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!
453Please respect copyright.PENANA8FTSqIh21Y
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
453Please respect copyright.PENANAG71o6f9QK5
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
