Chapter 16 - Episode 15 - Melody questions her mother

As the laughter and chatter continues, Melody excuses herself to make a phone call.

Melody: *She steps outside, phone at hand.* Mom? You won't believe what just happened...

Snow: *Her voice crackles through the phone.* Melody? Is everything alright?

Melody: *She paces back and forth.* More than alright! I'm with Goku and his family, and they've invited me to stay with them!

Snow: *She chuckles softly.* Oh my, that's quite the development. Just don't go falling head over heels for Gohan, now.

Melody: *She blushed profoundly, despite being alone.* Mom....! Gohan's married! Besides, there's... something else.

Melody's voice drops to a whisper as she glances back at the restaurant.

Melody: *She twirls a strand of hair nervously.* When I touched Goten, Goku's youngest... there was this weird sensation. Like... a spark or something.

Snow: A spark? *Her voice grows serious.* Melody, be careful. Your powers are still developing.

Melody: *She sighs heavily.* But what does it mean? And mom...please tell me that you and Goku aren't related?

Snow: *There's a long pause.* Sweety, it's... complicated. Goku and I have a history but not in the way you're thinking.

Melody: Mom, what aren't you telling me? *She gripped the phone tighter.* Why do I feel so... connected to them?

Snow: *She sighs deeply.* Melody, there's something you odd to know about your father...

Just then, Goten bursts out of the restaurant, tail swishing excitedly. The rest follows suit. Goku teleported the Son family, including Melody back to Mount Paozu.

Goten: *He looks at her.* Hey! We're about to start a game of charades. You in?

Melody: *She nearly drops her phone.* I... uhm... Mom, I gotta go. We'll talk later, okay?

Snow: *Her voice rises slightly.* Melody, wait! There's more you need to know....

Melody ends the call, her mind racing with questions as she follows Goten inside their home.

Goten: *He glances at her as they walked.* Everything okay? You look like you've seen a ghost.

Melody: *She shakes her head.* Just... family stuff. So, charades, huh? I hope you're ready to lose!

Goku: *He jumps up as they entered.* Alright, teams! Melody you're with me and Goten. Let's show 'em how it's done!
