* Three Hours Later (by the pool side) *
"Umm, are you alright?" asked Bra, sitting down next to Uub.
"Yes, I'm fine." he said, looking up to her.
"Oh, because well, you haven't looked so good." said Bra.
"I'm fine, I'm just not in the mood to have fun."
"Maybe if you talked about it?"
"No."
"Look, I don't know what I did to you to make you so upset, but I'm just trying to help. You don't have to be rude."
"Rude? You're the one who came up to me asking questions that are none of your business. So, if you don't mind, I would like to be alone. Go bother someone else."
"You... jerk. All I'm trying to do is be nice to you and see if you're alright because I was worried. Excuse me for caring. I thought we could be friends, but I guess not."
"One, I never said I wanted to be your friend. Second, if I wanted comfort, I wouldn't go to someone of your kind."
"What do you mean 'my kind?'"
"Your a rich, self-centered, Miss-do-good. You're probably always helping out with some kind of charity. Am I right?"
"So?!"
"Yeah, I thought so. I bet Mommy and Daddy always buy you everything and Mommy always gets you or your brother out of trouble."
"Shut up."
"Fine." he said, getting up and leaving. Bra just sat there sitting.
"I can't believe him, he knows nothing about me. I was just trying to be nice to him, and he bites my head off, that... jerk! That's the last time I try to reason with him. Maybe I shouldn't have pushed so much. I mean, whatever is bothering him must be important or he wouldn't act like such an ass. What did I do to him?" sighed Bra. "Maybe I should ask Goten?" Bra got up and went to the dinning area where Goten and the others were.
********
* Uub's POV *
The nerve of that girl. Can't she just stay out of my business? What made her think she could solve my problem? It's her family's fault that I have a 'problem' in the first place. It's because of them I lost the most important person in my life and it was their money that allowed her killer to get away.
* Flash Back *
"Mom, do you want me to walk with you to the store?" asked a twelve year-old boy.
"No, you stay here. I'll be fine."
"Are you sure? It's no big deal."
"You train with Goku. I'll be alright going on my own."
"Okay, be careful." said Uub running off, but before he stepped out the door, he returned and gave his mother a kiss.
* End of Flash Back *
That was the last time I saw her. I didn't even tell her how much I loved her. I should've gone with her. I should've protected her, but I didn't. She's gone now, and it's all the Briefs' fault. I didn't mean to act the way I did towards her, it wasn't her personal fault, but she's Bulma's daughter. Why did I have to lose my mother? She never did anything to anyone to deserve this. If Capsule Corp was more careful while performing their tests, this would've never happened. She wouldn't be dead now. She's still be with me and Dad.
"Mom, I'm sorry." he said to no one, walking into his room.

* Meanwhile (the dinning area) *
"Wow, Trunks. You eat as much as we do." said Goten.
"Yeah well, large appetites run in my family."
"That's funny, same goes in our family." said Pan.
"Well, I don't think any one can top Trunks' father Vegeta. He can eat a whole cow in less then five minutes." stated Marron.
"Really?" said Pan.
"Yeah."
"No way." said Goten.
"What?" asked Trunks.
"Well, this is kind of weird. I mean my dad, me and my brother, can all eat like that too."
"No, it's not weird. It's just in the both of our family's genes."
"You have an explanation for everything, don't you?" asked Pan, looking at the man next to her.
"Yeah." said Trunks, smiling at her, which caused Pan to blush.
"Hey guys." said Bra, walking up to the group of people.
"Hey Bra. Where's Uub?" asked Marron.
"He... well, I kind of made him angry." she said, sitting down.
"What did you do?" asked Trunks, looking at his sister suspiciously.
"Nothing really. I just asked him what was wrong, and he bit my head off."
"I'm sorry for the way he acted, but Uub isn't the kind of person to just come right out and tell you how he feels."
"Well, not since..."said Goten, looking sad.
"Not since what?" asked Bra.
"His mother died." said Pan, putting her head down.
"Poor guy." stated Marron.
"Wow, it must have been hard for the guy."
"Yes, it was. He was never really the same after that." said Goten.
"May I ask how she died?" asked Bra. Goten just looked at her.
"I shouldn't. If he wants you to know, he'll tell you himself. I'm sorry."
"No, I shouldn't have asked something like that. Excuse me everyone." said Bra, getting up from her seat and walking away.
"Is she all right?" asked Pan, to Trunks.
"Yeah, she'll be fine."
"Poor Uub, losing his mother." said Marron.
"Yeah, she was a very kind woman, always helping others. Everyone loved her." said Pan.
"Maybe we should go see if he's okay." Trunks suggested.
"No, it would only get him mad. When he's ready, he'll come to me or Pan to talk. So, should we go do something?" asked Goten.
"Yeah, why don't we go to the Casino?" asked Marron.
"Cool." said Goten.
"That sounds good." said Trunks
"Umm... I would love to go, but as you can see, I'm not twenty-one." stated Pan, looking mad at the suggestion.
"I... I didn't know." said Marron.
"It's cool. Marron and Goten can go to the Casino, and Pan and I will go and do something else." stated Trunks.
"Is that alright Pan?" asked Goten.
"Yeah, you guys go have fun."
"Okay." said Goten standing up and offering his hand to Marron.
"So, what do you want to do?" Trunks asked Pan after her uncle left with Marron.
"I was thinking that we could go outside and look up at the stars. It's a beautiful night."
"I would like that, especially when my company is such a beautiful goddess." said Trunks standing up and giving his hand to hers and helping her up.
"You're too sweet."
"Only when I see something I like."
"Oh, so you like what you see?"
"'Like,' is not the word for what I feel towards what I see. The word is extraordinary, and stunning."
"Hehe."
"Do you like what you see?" asked Trunks.
"Definitely, but my word is desire."
"Huh? Don't say stuff like that."
"Is something wrong? Hehehe."
"Funny." he said walking side by side to Pan.
