Chapter 22 - Ep. 21 - Goku first, then Vegeta!

Melody: *She bites her lip, her free hand clenching.* But mom, I think.... I think we might be fated. Would Saiyan blood lie?

Snow: *She pauses for a moment.* Saiyan blood is... complicated, sweetie. It doesn't always mean what we think it means.

Melody's eyes drift to the sky, her mind racing with possibilities.

Snow: *Her voice becomes firmer.* Listen, I think you should turn to Goku and Vegeta for help. Start with Goku - he's more approachable.

Melody: *Her eyebrows shoot up.* Goku? But... what should I tell him?

Snow: *Her tone softens.* Everything, honey. Who your father is, the connection you feel with Goten - all of it.

Melody: *She swallows hard.* And... Vegeta?

Snow: *A light chuckle escapes her.* Work your way to him. He has... an acquired taste. But he knows things about Saiyan heritage that even Goku doesn't.

Melody nods, even though her mother can't see, a newfound determination settling over her features.

Melody: *She smiles softly.* Thanks, Mom. I... I'll do that.

Snow: *Her voice warms.* I'm always here for you, sweetie. Now go get some rest. You've got a big day ahead.

As the call ends, Melody stands, her eyes fixed on Capsule Corp in the distance.

Melody: *She clenches her fists, a spark of energy crackling around them.* Alright, Goku. Let's see what you know about... my father.

Meanwhile, at Capsule Corp, Goku is raiding the fridge, his Saiyan appetite in full force.

Goku: *He emerges with an armful of food, grinning widely.* Oh boy! Bulma always has the best snacks!

Vegeta: *He walks in, crossing his arms with a scowl.* Kakarot, must you always stuff your face like a barbarian?

Goku: *He offers a drumstick to Vegeta.* Aw, come on, Vegeta! You know you want some!

Vegeta: *His eye twitches, but he snatches the drumstick.* Hmph. I suppose I could use a light snack before training.

As they eat, a knock at the door interrupts their impromptu feast.

Goku: *He tilts his head, mouth full of food.* Huh? Who could that be?

Vegeta: *He narrows his eyes, sensing a familiar energy.* It's that girl... Melody.

Goku: *He swallows his food in one gulp.* Oh, great! Maybe she wants to train!

Vegeta: *He frowns slightly.* Something tells me this isn't about training, Kakarot.
