Valese: *She tugs on Goten's arm, noticing his distraction.* Goten? Did you hear what I said? I've asked if you know who this Broly fella is she mentioned earlier. I might have heard by accident.
Goten: *His eyes widen, suddenly alert.* Did you just say Broly? I... uh... Oh no! I completely forgot about... something!
Valese: *She tilts her head, frowning slightly.* Something? What's wrong, Goten?
Goten: *He runs a hand through his hair, avoiding eye contact.* I'm so sorry, Valese. Can we take a raincheck? I just remembered I promised to help my mom with... uh... sorting her recipe collection!
Valese: *She pouts but nods understandingly.* Oh, alright. Your mom's cooking is legendary. I guess I can't compete with that!
Goten gives Valese a quick peck on the cheek before dashing off, his mind racing.
Goten: *He takes to the air, flying towards his home.* Broly? It can't be... I need answers!
At the Son residence, Goten lands and rushes inside, finding Melody in the kitchen.
Melody: *She's assembling a sandwich, humming softly.* A little training sure works up an appetite. I wonder if this is how Goku feels all the time?
Goten: *He appears in the doorway, startling Melody.* Broly? Why would you spar with someone as ruthless and unpredictable as Broly?
Melody: *She jumps, nearly dropping her sandwich.* Goten! Don't sneak up on me like that! I could have blasted you through the wall!
Goten: *He steps closer, his eyes searching hers.* Melody, please. Why were you with Broly? And I thought you said you were tired?
Melody: *She shrugs, avoiding his gaze as well as his second question.* Because he's my father.
Silence falls over the kitchen as Goten processes this information.
Goten: *His jaw drops, eyes widening comically.* Your... your father? But that means... you're a Saiyan too?
Melody: *She quirks an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips.* Half-Saiyan, technically, much like yourself. Where, did you think these fighting skills came from yoga classes?
Goten: *He runs both hands through his hair, pacing.* But... but how? When? Why didn't you tell me?
Melody: *She sets down her sandwich, crossing her arms.* It's not exactly first-date conversation material, Goten. 'Hi, nice to meet you. My dad's the guy who nearly destroyed the universe. Want to grab coffee?' *She answered angrily, no need to inform him that she too had no idea.*
Goten: *He stops pacing, looking at Melody intently.* This is... a lot to take in. Does this have anything to do with this weird energy between us?
Melody: *She bites her lip, considering.* Maybe? I'm still figuring things out myself. But Goten, there's something else you should know...
Just as Melody is about to continue, a loud crash echoes from outside.
Broly: *His voice booms from the yard.* KAKAROT! Where are you hiding?!
Goten: *He whips his head towards the sound.* Oh no, not now!
