On the phone...
"Bra, are you sure you're not going to come?"
"Marron, trust me. I don't really want to go. Although, I would love to see the two of you together, but I really just need some time to think. You're not mad are you?"
"Of course not, Bra. But are you completely positive you won't join us? I mean, there are a bunch of people you could just call and ask to go with you."
"I think I'm just going to spend the night alone, Marron. But call me tomorrow and tell me what happened. Okay?"
"Okay. Well, I have to be going, ja Bra!"
"Ja, Marron!"
And they both hung up. 'I can't believe that Goten could fall for someone like Paresu! She's a complete fake. I can't stay here, I have to clear my head.' "Kaasan, I'm going to the park!" Bra yelled. She grabbed her coat and walked out the door.
At the rink...
"So you nervous, Marron?" Pan asked as she and her friend entered the rink.
"Yeah, I am. But I have to try to act, er, um, completely natural. But, Dende, he's such a great skater. I hope he won't think I'm completely lovesick."
"Don't worry about it. You'll do fine. Well, I'll see ya, Marron, Trunks is waiting for me."
"Alright. Ja, Pan!"
"Ja! Good luck!" And Pan ran off toward Trunks.
"Hey, Marron." Uub said walking up to her.
"Oh, hi, Uub. I'm, er, really glad you came here tonight."
"I wanted to."
"Really?"
"Yeah. So how about we skate?"
"Sure." Marron nodded, and took Uub's hand.
At the park...
'Goten, what can I do to get you to notice me? You never got my hints, no matter how obvious they were. But I can't just tell you now. You would just hate me, and call me some little girl, who isn't worth your time. And I don't want to ruin the great friendship we have. But, I guess what they say is true, you can't help who you love. So, Goten, I love you. But there has to be a way that I could let you know. But what is it?' Bra sat at the edge of the fountain and stared at the reflection that stared back at her.
At the rink...
"So, when did you start skating, Uub?" Marron asked.
"Well, Bra-chan and I started skating about the same we started dating few years ago."
"Oh. Listen, Uub, I don't mean to pry or anything, but if you don't mind my asking, how did you break up?"
"Well, it was kind of an odd experience. Actually, it was very odd. One of us really didn't break up with the other; we actually broke up with each other. She said there was someone else that she loved, and that she just wanted to be friends." Uub said partly sad.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Uub. I shouldn't have asked."
"Don't worry about it. I don't really mind talking about it. I didn't want to really admit it to myself before, but I think I found someone else, too."
"Really? Whom?"
"I don't really want to say." Uub said looking down.
"Um, alright," Marron said, shifting uncomfortably.
There was an awkward silence between the two, but Uub finally spoke up. "Listen, let's just go skate, okay?"
"Okay." Marron nodded meekly and headed back onto the ice with Uub.
"Trunks?" Pan asked as she and Trunks skated together at the opposite end of the rink.
"Yeah, Panny?"
"Do you think it's strange that Bra immediately didn't want to come here with all of us?"
"I don't know. I guess it is. But, maybe she had other plans."
"If she had other plans, Trunks, she would have told us. I'm worried about her. He's causing her so much pain, and he doesn't even know it."
"Yeah...wait! Who?"
"Um, no one. I must have been thinking of someone else!" Pan said laughing nervously.
"Panny! This is my little sister! I think I deserve to know what's wrong with her!
"If I tell you, you'll kill him!"
"NO I won't!"
"Yes you will!"
"Will not!"
"Will too!"
"Will not!"
"Will too!"
"Will not!"
"Will not!"
"Will too!"
Pan laughed at her boyfriend's stupidity. "Hey! It's not funny!"
"Yes it is!"
"But seriously, Panny, who is it?"
"Trunks, I can't. She's my best friend. I can't. Don't be mad, please?"
"I couldn't be mad at you, Panny. But I still want to know."
Pan sighed. She knew this wasn't going to be easy.
At the park...
'What about Panny and Trunks? They're so happy. Pan is so lucky. She has who she wants. She can really rely on the person she loves. While, I, Bra Briefs, the most beautiful girl in Japan, can have anyone she wants, except for the person she really loves. But at least Pan and Trunks will have beautiful kids someday, and I guess I wouldn't mind all that much being called Auntie Bra.' Bra smiled at the thought of it. 'I guess, I really am jealous of Pan. Because she has someone to rely on and I don't. Plus, she can fight, which has won everyone's respect for her. I guess all of our friends think I'm just an airhead. I can't even begin to think what my father thinks of me. He's the prince of saiya-jins and I can't even fight! I must be a shame. To my family, to my friends. How come I didn't even realize it until now? I'm never going to be as smart as my mother is, I'll never be as strong as my father and brother are, and I'll never be nothing but a prissy airhead. I guess I should see why Goten doesn't love me.' Bra's crystal tears slid down her pale skin, and landed in the still, dark blue water of the fountain.
At the rink...
"Hey, Marron, I know we've talked about my love-life earlier, but what about you? Anyone really special in your life?" Uub asked.
"Well, actually there is someone. But I'm pretty sure he's starting to fall in love with someone. Someone much more beautiful then I could ever be. Someone who I could never match to."
"Marron, don't say that. You're a great person. And one of the best friends I could ever have. Not to mention beautiful."
"Friends?" Marron thought out loud, but realized what she said just in time to catch it. "I mean, thanks."
Uub smiled at her.
"Panny, please!"
"Trunks! No!"
"But, Pan!"
"No!"
"What's wrong with you two?" Goten asked skating up to them with his arm around Paresu's waist. Pan cringed with disgust at the sight of Paresu.
"Well, Pan won't tell me who Bra is in lov-" Pan covered his mouth just in time. She laughed nervously and placed a hand behind her head.
"Uh, he means, why Bra isn't here. We'll catch you later, Goten!" And Pan skated off, dragging Trunks with her.
At the park...
"Uub and Marron," Bra said to herself quietly. "They're so perfect for each other, but he could even be in love with Paresu for all I know. Poor Marron. But I hope Uub realizes in time that he is going to miss out on a lot if he doesn't realize what he's missing with Marron. But what if Uub really has fallen in love with that whore? How will Goten react? How will Marron? Paresu is bring so much hurt to all of us. She's a damned bitch, and I'm going to take care of her!" Bra said raising her voice and squeezing her fist. 'I should get home. Daddy is going to get worried. But, I want to stay here just a little longer.'
She ran off to her hover car that was parked on the other side of the park.
At the rink...
"Wassup guys and girls?" The dj asked. "Well, this is the last song for the evening, so grab your partners and get out on the ice!"
"Let's go, Trunks!" Pan said and pulled her boyfriend into the rink.
"Well, come on, Marron." Uub said.
"Okay." She said quietly and followed him out to the ice.
When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed
To get to have you in my life
When I look back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there will always be a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be
'Dende, Uub, who do you love?' Marron thought as she looked at all the other couples skating around her as she rested her head on Uub's shoulder. Taking in his unique sent. 'I love you too much to see you with another girl, Uub.'
Well you showed me how to feel
Feel the sky was in my reach
And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there will always be a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be
'Cause I always saw in you my light, my strength
And I want to thank you now
For all the ways you were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always
At the park...(once again)
"I wonder if anyone picked up on how I'm feeling now. I'm guessing Goten definitely didn't. In a way I wish they would, but I don't know what my parents would think if I had feelings for Goten. Why did I fall for him anyway? When did I? I can't remember anymore. When did my infatuation turn into love? I know when I was little I had a crush on him, but I was only five." Bra smiled at the memory.
~Flashback~
"Goten-san, does everyone fall in love?" Bra asked the eleven-year-old boy before her. (A/N: The ages are different this fic! Please work with me!)
"Sure, B-chan. A lot of people do."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I bet you will, too. With someone very special, and they'll be very lucky B-chan."
"You think so?" Goten nodded.
"I'm sure all the guys will be all over you when you grow older, just like your kaasan was."
"Yeah, I hope so. But I'm glad she chose my daddy! Goten, do you think I could love you someday?"
"Maybe, B-chan. But I promise you I won't be like your tou-san and kill your first boyfriend." Goten laughed.
"Thanks, Goten-san."
~End Flashback~
"I can't believe I was interesting in love back then? Well, probably because I didn't think love was that important or that strong when I was five. But I guess I understand the best I can now. Because no one really understands love. It's the most mysterious thing on this earth. Not to mention the most painful." Bra took one last look at her tear-stained red face in the park fountain, and she walked somberly to her hover car.
