Chapter 44 - Ep. 43 - Goten's accidental summoning

Beerus: *He rolls his eyes dramatically.* Oh, for the love of—fine! Go meditate or whatever it is you Saiyans do. Just don't blow up my planet while you're at it!

Goten: *He nods, finding a quiet spot on the grass.* Right. I'll... I'll figure this out.

Goten closes his eyes, his brow furrowing in concentration.

Whis: *He leans closer to Beerus, whispering.* My, my. This should be interesting. Care to wager on the outcome, Lord Beerus?

Beerus: *He crosses his arms.* Hah! You're on. I bet my last cup of pudding he picks the wrong girl.

Suddenly, shimmering astral projections of Melody and Valese appear above Goten.

Melody: *Her projection flickers uncertainly.* Goten, I... I don't want to force you into anything.

Valese: *Her projection tilts its head.* Goten? What's there to think about? Don't you love me?

Goten: *He clutches his head, eyes still closed.* I can't... I can't choose like this!

The projections begin to merge and separate, mirroring Goten's inner turmoil.

Whis: *He taps his staff lightly on the ground.* Oh my, it seems our young friend is quite the accidental illusionist.

Beerus: *He flicks his tail impatiently.* Great, now we're watching a light show. Can't we just flip a coin or something?

Goten: *He opens his eyes, looking lost.* Mom would want me to pick Melody, but... Valese... I can't just break her heart!

Melody: *She wipes away a tear, watching the projections.* Goten, I... I understand. It's okay.

Another tear falls from Melody's cheek, landing softly on the grass.

Whis: *He strokes his chin.* Perhaps what young Goten needs is a bit of... divine intervention?

Beerus: *He jumps up, waving his arms.* Oh no, don't you dare! Last time you played matchmaker, we ended up with talking cats on Planet Meow!

Goten: *He looks up at Whis and Beerus.* Please, isn't there some way to make this easier?

Whis: *He twirls his staff.* Well, there is one way... But it might involve a bit of time travel.

Beerus: *He facepalms dramatically.* Whis, no! We are not messing with time again! Remember what happened with Zamasu?
