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!
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00VtNvddNK
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40LvMtLWkN
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGMwO71Ta7
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!
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE3fH0KmSS
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXlXU1Apuf
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c4zidDICL
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdAbinu7i7
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi7HNM0yih
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4N97zFNgx
Goten: Aw.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1F1yUA4DK
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGZdWVXlSz
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH4Qgd27cS
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?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahFMFR1Xb4
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo9ZoTl8gI
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I1sOshAqP
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs5CVJkjW9
Goten: Right…
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnc4V8CMKM
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ8Xi0CXSZ
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNIACeaY27
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqkmW86QIk
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKffLd8IzUz
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JS0TVBK2n
She said letting out a big sigh.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrj0xUshmZ
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqS0yV0BJp
Videl giggled.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO14xrqtYI5
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACapUtWlgL
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1VLibMhJr
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wvf9bhBsK
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV7te7kNVt
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVtzeo7x44
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jFG7TH1Hn
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTD1VqgvE5
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?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzu3VYJ0en
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH5w8Rujgs
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18RvifZG01
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhbVvyL9Pn
Goku: Crap!
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT4c7TEnh3
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguKG1EVIig
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PP3ditysR
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXxAZKwgLd
Goku: Everything is fine!
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsrcakloqF
He said in a panic.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKbmNkG66z
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IPckY7QUI
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNvsn9d8QJ
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBepMuMZZhg
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TgS0zWFWq
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqlAk2YfJQ
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX6qHl7agg
Gohan: Dad!
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJFvrpHqrE
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdG5tMkCVy
Goku: Huh?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtPehSQUHI
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqC318Fm6b
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngK9tZKS9V
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrvwBKtQE9
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiYoGmWtuj
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u3E1WDwER
Goku: I'm not sure.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUyvw7eFxu
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.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqT0Y4CzvC
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!
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DHR9fWiWP
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFib3RxxmM
