Goku stands in a barren landscape, facing his younger self. It was a surreal situation, one he never imagined he'd find himself in. He wondered how he'd forgotten the innocence in those eyes.

Kid Goku, intrigued but not scared, stared back. He was full of questions, but he knew better than to interrupt an adult's contemplation.

Breaking the silence, Goku finally speaks, 'Let's see what you've got, kid.' Kid Goku nods, readying himself for the challenge.

The two Gokus collide in a whirlwind of punches and kicks. It's a spectacle of raw power and skill, a dance of warriors.

Both fighters are panting, their bodies screaming in protest. Kid Goku falls first, but Goku helps him up, a gentle smile on his face.

'You've done well, kid,' he says, 'I'm proud of you.' Kid Goku grins at the praise, blushing slightly.

They sit in silence, staring at the horizon. Goku breaks the silence with a question, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?'

Kid Goku thinks for a moment before answering, 'Strong. Strong enough to protect everyone.' Goku smiles at the answer, 'You will be, kid. You will be.'

As he looks at his younger self, Goku realizes he's rediscovered the innocence he'd lost over the years. It was a comforting feeling.

'It's time for me to go,' says Goku, standing up. Kid Goku nods, 'Will I see you again?' 'Maybe, kid. Maybe.'

With a wave, Goku lifts off into the sky, leaving Kid Goku behind. He's content, having confronted his past and reconciled with it.

As he disappears into the sky, Kid Goku waves back, a determined look on his face. He had a future to look forward to, and he was ready for it.
