As the day progresses, father and daughter engage in an intense training session.
Melody: *She wipes sweat from her brow, panting heavily.* Whew! That was... something else. Hey, Dad?
Broly: *He grins, barely winded.* Yeah, kid?
Melody: *She fidgets with her hair.* Is it... is it okay if I drop by whenever I feel like it? You know, to train or just... hang out?
Broly: *His eyes widen briefly before softening.* Of course. Anytime you want, Melody. I'd... I'd like that.
Goku and Vegeta approach, ready to head back.
Goku: *He waves enthusiastically.* Time to go, folks! Ready for some of Chi-Chi's cooking?
Vegeta: *He rolls his eyes.* Kakarot, is food all you ever think about?
Goku: *He tilts his head.* Huh? What else is there to think about?
The group teleports back to Capsule Corp. Melody, exhausted, decides to head home.
Melody: *She stifles a yawn.* Thanks for everything, guys. I think I'll head back to Mount Paozu.
Vegeta: *He nods curtly.* Hmph. Not bad today, girl. Keep training.
Melody flies towards Mount Paozu, her mind swirling with the day's events. Thanks to the sparring session with her dad, she learned a new technique. Now she's a flying freak too.
Melody: *She nearly collides with someone in mid-air.* Whoa! Oh, Goten! I... I didn't see you there.
Goten: *He steadies himself, equally startled.* Melody! I was just... uh... getting some air. What are you doing here?
The air between them crackles with an unseen energy, more intense than ever before.
Melody: *She shivers, feeling the strange connection intensify.* I... I was heading home. Where's your mom? Isn't Goku... I mean I think Goku was still with Vegeta... *Internally glad that he didn't caught on.*
Goten: *He rubs the back of his neck, avoiding eye contact.* Mom's visiting Bulma. I needed some alone time after... you know, this morning with Valese.
Melody: *She bites her lip, fighting the urge to move closer.* Oh, right. That was... quite a scene.
Goten: *He finally meets her gaze, his voice lowering.* Melody, do you feel it too? It's much stronger now, isn't it?
Melody: *She nods, her heart racing.* Yeah, it's... overwhelming. Goten, what's happening to us?
