Chapter 18 - Ep. 17: Quick win for Goku's team

Goku: Huh? *He scratches his head.* What do you mean, Melody? It's just charades!

As the night progressed, the game became increasingly competitive. Team Goku struggles, with Goku himself failing to contribute any points.

Pan: *She throws her hands up into the air.* Grandpa, how can you not get 'Kamehameha'? You literally do it all the time!

Goku: I thought Videl was trying to order a sandwich... *He rubbed the back of his head.*

Gohan: *He checks the scoreboard, before clearing his throat.* Well, it looks like we're tied. How about a tiebreaker?

Videl: *She smirked.* Bring it on! We've got this in the bag.

Goten: What's the plan bro? *He asked leaning forward.*

Gohan: *He adjusts his glasses* Simple, enough. The team to guess correctly in the quickest amount of time wins the game. One card, one chance.

The tension in the room rises as Melody steps forward to draw the final card.

Melody: *She reads the card silently to herself, her eyes widening slightly.* Okay... here goes nothing.

Melody began her performance, her movements graceful yet mysterious. She waves her hands as if casting a spell.

Goku: *He jumped up.* Oh! Oh! I know this one! You're.... you're making dinner?

Chichi: Goku, sit down! *She facepalmed.* Let Gohan handle this one!

Goten: *He watched her intently.* Wait... I think I've got it...

The room holds its breath as Goten's eyes locked with that of Melody's. A strange energy seems to crackle between them.

Goten: *He snapped his fingers.* Bewitched!

Melody: *She gasped, lowering her arms.* That's right...! How did you get that?

Pan: *She narrows her eyes.* Okay, now I'm sure there's something weird going on between you two.

Videl: That was... unusually quick... *She glances between Goten and Melody.* Almost like you can read each other's minds.

Gohan: *He rubbed his chin.* The probability of guessing that word so quickly... it's astronomically low.

Goku: *He grinned widely.* Wow, Goten! You're even better at this game than me!

Chichi: *She looked at Goten with concern.* Goten, honey... is there something that you're not telling me?

Goten: *He avoids eye contact.* What? No! I just... I don't know. It just came to me.

Melody: I felt something.... strange... *She touched her forehead, speaking in a low tone.* Like a connection of some sort. Did you feel it too, Goten?
