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!
591Please respect copyright.PENANAjdNiTjesuz
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAYuzMewVsw3
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAJlO3SdVlfa
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!
591Please respect copyright.PENANAbz5fUVEV9z
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
591Please respect copyright.PENANADfE5OlkuXw
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
591Please respect copyright.PENANA9C8Ih0fHkF
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAoR54Oc6ZJD
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
591Please respect copyright.PENANA5ip9ep3dzs
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAyHMb1xzlwm
Goten: Aw.
591Please respect copyright.PENANArPSPCclzF6
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
591Please respect copyright.PENANABphuDLJ1Ww
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAzuhNmVE2kS
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?
591Please respect copyright.PENANAks4y9X4H5K
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAUSYZsIczEb
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
591Please respect copyright.PENANAePzoyZjg25
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANArgs0A3XyF3
Goten: Right…
591Please respect copyright.PENANAqy4GjLOMMX
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAh8NA0ydp8h
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
591Please respect copyright.PENANAC2qAnEvl5v
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAwXG2Wi2NvA
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
591Please respect copyright.PENANAfPDqzAebN5
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAY1KsoxYc9F
She said letting out a big sigh.
591Please respect copyright.PENANABiEdTM28jn
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
591Please respect copyright.PENANATa0NEyFMeY
Videl giggled.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAiICM46Ejb5
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAf8UwWnwA8c
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
591Please respect copyright.PENANA0mhDV3TGPb
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
591Please respect copyright.PENANAjKCqmR20kn
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
591Please respect copyright.PENANAf1SfidEw1A
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANATb5di1xhC3
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
591Please respect copyright.PENANATtTQlCNXXz
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
591Please respect copyright.PENANAW689FmhMIe
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAQzrlu1CQ9F
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?
591Please respect copyright.PENANAxfxdt2xnkx
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAR9o9zSfb8e
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
591Please respect copyright.PENANA1XTVIcHU3w
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAyBrMqxg88s
Goku: Crap!
591Please respect copyright.PENANAFXnRAbG8jb
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAKrr60v3Zmx
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
591Please respect copyright.PENANA13xGKkfWFR
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAL5iLQexQ4S
Goku: Everything is fine!
591Please respect copyright.PENANAm8QIZPdp1U
He said in a panic.
591Please respect copyright.PENANA9ItRKO4hyi
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
591Please respect copyright.PENANAgc5TuIr46k
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5Cm5uztRc
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
591Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1tgZU4OOU
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
591Please respect copyright.PENANAn7gV1IZQ8C
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAvIaY0IsZqU
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAnnvi495IkY
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAcxWBxs5LoJ
Gohan: Dad!
591Please respect copyright.PENANAsSUbrv2eXa
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
591Please respect copyright.PENANA3P1riiaslt
Goku: Huh?
591Please respect copyright.PENANAaFH3aAXHSU
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
591Please respect copyright.PENANA9wzKXRUmQv
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANABBmkwy6UTD
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
591Please respect copyright.PENANA1pAJxi09RA
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAGGtOssPyIe
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
591Please respect copyright.PENANAEWUEQBRA4V
Goku: I'm not sure.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAypXwdKa49m
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.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAjjGn0EBxcD
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!
591Please respect copyright.PENANAmhJ6BwPdv2
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
591Please respect copyright.PENANAuihO1ZxXOR
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
591Please respect copyright.PENANAwzQomygvCw
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
