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!
454Please respect copyright.PENANAHsJjSBZz0S
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA4cflVWEm3W
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAfDCeWuvQKk
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!
454Please respect copyright.PENANAUhxXFteyIY
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAPyue8wnC2e
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
454Please respect copyright.PENANArawMQUHO6B
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAFgXaANfcho
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
454Please respect copyright.PENANA1tMkdsUaKc
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Hg4kY6Ng
Goten: Aw.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAyWmn0dcDb4
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAOXiAGVdGcR
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAiV90nlgzAK
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?
454Please respect copyright.PENANAm79aNirvNw
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAPA2tyrDRrh
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
454Please respect copyright.PENANAVNGZWrRG7S
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAg3sZ766CHj
Goten: Right…
454Please respect copyright.PENANAdc0CQB9Oaq
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANATbIlETxJCY
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
454Please respect copyright.PENANALyZusZyt6l
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANABfz4LgpqwT
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
454Please respect copyright.PENANA4URlzgaNBR
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAt0UtNUcZIc
She said letting out a big sigh.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAVF9zlBRI1r
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAgdmMZ13sJX
Videl giggled.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAkPugOvUYUH
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAaRbWBe3ms5
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
454Please respect copyright.PENANANILnNZTdBI
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
454Please respect copyright.PENANAAnpgOZEUsa
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
454Please respect copyright.PENANAPhZbfOsPgP
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0DX4wtTmXk
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAW4Q8uHIycp
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
454Please respect copyright.PENANAX0Z3vsEcjM
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAzMaDXnWjG7
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?
454Please respect copyright.PENANA5mMFoRrYMe
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAv3lTYQR9Ex
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
454Please respect copyright.PENANAEAj60l4eqO
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAtsNtvsCzbq
Goku: Crap!
454Please respect copyright.PENANARn6JXkagQd
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
454Please respect copyright.PENANABnodtRIn2Y
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
454Please respect copyright.PENANAALhcWsAcBn
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAJsBnIU2ZG1
Goku: Everything is fine!
454Please respect copyright.PENANAE4IbvuUB5o
He said in a panic.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAPxatU1SSOm
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
454Please respect copyright.PENANASvgp7ufJwo
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAjmLy0BvDpn
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
454Please respect copyright.PENANAZTQRZXUcI9
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
454Please respect copyright.PENANAC7FYnol6rY
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANApElK5TwtBj
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAFar2bp764r
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAoillKQ0HBQ
Gohan: Dad!
454Please respect copyright.PENANAYSzeWPPotq
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAdYUGJpvzpu
Goku: Huh?
454Please respect copyright.PENANAxW6R12qwJL
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
454Please respect copyright.PENANAeWvhF6NYau
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAyUWLoxPp5b
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
454Please respect copyright.PENANArn71HSjVa9
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAkKSBVEVpck
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
454Please respect copyright.PENANAR9tkujDdzw
Goku: I'm not sure.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAsG616AQlBK
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAfwarfpsn2x
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!
454Please respect copyright.PENANANWF5Zn4Uli
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAfymU6oYFrS
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
