The two share a moment of tender closeness before continuing their flight towards Mount Paozu.
Melody: *She flies alongside Goten, occasionally stealing glances.* It's beautiful up here. I can see why you love this place so much.
Goten: *He nods, looking at the familiar landscape below.* Yeah, it's home. Simple, peaceful... well, when Dad's not blowing stuff up during training, that is.
As they approach Goten's childhood home, they slow their descent, landing softly on the grass.
Melody: *She turns to face Goten, eyes shining with emotion.* Goten... thank you. For choosing me.
Goten: *He cups her face gently, leaning in.* Mel, you don't need to thank me. I-
Just as their lips are about to meet, a cheerful voice interrupts the moment.
Goku: *He appears suddenly, grinning widely.* Hey, you two! Welcome back! Say, either of you up for a quick spar?
Goten: *He pulls back, shooting his father an annoyed look.* Seriously, Dad? We just got back!
Goku: *He crosses his arms, looking disappointed.* Aw, come on, Goten! I haven't had a decent spar in six months!
Melody: *Her eyes widen, jaw dropping slightly.* Wait- What- Six months? We've been gone for six months?
Goten: *He turns to Melody, equally surprised.* What? That can't be right... can it?
Goku: *He tilts his head, looking between them.* Yeah, you two have been off on that training thing with Beerus for six months.
Melody: *She runs a hand through her hair, processing the information.* It felt like... maybe a few weeks at most. Time must flow differently there.
Goten: *He places a comforting hand on Melody's shoulder.* Mel, are you okay? This is... a lot to take in.
Melody: *She takes a deep breath, squaring her shoulders.* I'm fine. Just... surprised. But you know what? Maybe a spar isn't such a bad idea. It might help clear our heads.
Goku: *He pumps his fist in the air, grinning.* Alright! That's the spirit! How about we make it interesting? Winner gets first dibs on dinner!
Goten: *He shakes his head, a small smile forming.* Some things never change, huh? Alright, Dad, you're on. But don't think we'll go easy on you!
Melody: *She cracks her knuckles, a competitive glint in her eye.* Hope you're ready, Goku. You might regret challenging us after our special training!
