*Meanwhile*
As Pan and Trunks were having their conversation, Goten and Marron were in the casino. Marron left to go see if Bra was okay, and Goten followed and waited outside the room.
* In Bra's room *
Bra was laying on her bed watching TV when Marron walked in.
"Hey, Girl! What are you doing?" asked Marron as she sat down next to her.
"Nothing much." she said without moving her gaze from the television.
"Bra? Something is bothering you, is it about Uub?" she asked, concerned.
"Yeah... all I tried to do was be kind to him. He acts like Trunks and I did something or said something to him, but I don't know what it could be. He doesn't have the right to treat us like we have plague." she said in one gulp staring at her friend.
"Okay... I don't know why he has been acting the way he has, but you shouldn't be locked up in our room when there is a cute guy waiting outside for you." she said giving her a big smile.
"What? Is Goten waiting outside?"
"Yep, he's been asking about you since you left. Go out there and have fun, I'll go see what's up with Uub."
"Okay! Good luck!" she said as she got up and turned the TV, off.
"Yeah, I'll need it." Marron stated as she got up and followed her out.
* Outside the room *
As Bra walked out with Marron behind her, Goten asked, "Hey, is everything alright?"
"Yeah! I'll leave the two of you alone. Bye!" said Marron as she walked away.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry if I made you worry."
"It's just... you shouldn't let Uub get to you. He isn't really that bad."
"Yeah, but I just wanted to know why he was so upset, and it seemed to be because of me and Trunks... that's all."
"Hey, cheer up! Want to go find Trunks and Pan?" he asked as he placed his arm around her neck.
"Sure." she said with a blush, as they went to find Pan and Trunks.
* Back at Uub's bedroom *
After hearing a knock at the door, Uub got up from the bed and opened it to find Marron standing in front of him.
"Yes?" he asked, standing in the doorway.
"Look, I don't know what's up with you, but I got the impression that you liked me. As soon as I tell you that Bra and Trunks are Bulma Brief's children, you go distant on me. What's your problem?" she asked as she stood there and waited for an answer. He just looked at her, with no emotion.
"Maybe you would like to come in. People are starting to stare." Uub offered as he open the door so she could come in. She didn't realize she was speaking loud enough because sure enough, people were staring at them.
"Sorry." she said as she walked in. He closed the door behind her.
"You can sit down anywhere." he said from the doorway.
"It's okay, I'll stand. Uub, you can talk to me. I'm a very good listener. I know we don't know each other that well, but..." she started, looking down at the floor, "I like you, and what you are doing is making me, as well as Bra, upset." she finished looking up to his brown eyes.
"I know, and I'm sorry. It's just something I have to get over, it was a long time ago." he said as he took a seat on the bed. She did the same taking the spot next to him.
"You can tell me. I'd like to know what got you so upset." she said.
"I just... don't know. I never told Pan or Goten anything about it." he said, looking at her and she at him. "It does have something to do with Bra's mother." he said, waiting for a reaction from Marron. None came, so he continued.
"You see, when I was twelve, my mother died. She was on her way to the store, when she was hit by a car. The man driving the car had just bought the vehicle from Capsule Corporation's car dealer. It was one of their new inventions. The ones with a mini TV. He was so into the watching what was on, he didn't stop at the red light, and he..." he said, as he looked to the floor. A tear fell down from his eye.
Marron watched and understood why he was acting that way, but she stayed silent and let him speak.
"He... hit her as she was crossing the road. She didn't have a chance... Before she could move, or even react, he hit her." he said with tears in his eyes, not looking at the girl next to him, who also was crying. "She was on her way to buy groceries. There was a big court case and the man was sentenced to three years in prison, but it wasn't only the man's fault. A car is a vehicle to drive in order to take you from one place to another, it isn't a home away from home. My father tried to sue Bulma Brief, but the courts said that the design of the vehicle had nothing to do with the carelessness of the person driving it. She died because of the luxury the rich wanted. A woman died, and all the man got was three years, and the company who built the car got nothing. They went on with their lives, but what was worse they tried to buy my mother's death. Their money couldn't replace her." he said with anger and pain as the tears fell down. He no longer cared who was next to him, but he was just glad that he could finally tell his story.
"Oh Uub... I am so sorry." she said as she put her arms around him.
He needed someone to talk to. It was killing him inside. He didn't push her away, but held her as well. They both stayed the in the arms of the other and cried.
I know, stop making it so short... I'll try to make it longer next chapter. Please review. And check out my poem "A Forgotten Dream." I want to write a story based on it, but I need more then twenty reviews if I'm going to.
