"So, what had she done?" She asked, tucking the stray lock of midnight behind her delicate ear as she switched the phone from one side to the other, getting ready for a heart breaking tale from him.

She could hear the choked sobs on the other side of the wire and ignored his sorry attempt at portraying emotional strength. It was no use.

Tsima, his fiancé, had broken it off. She had left Uubu for another young man from a neighboring village. He was just a little bit older and had a little bit better of a financial standing. She had decided that that would work out better for her than settling down with someone who loved her beyond belief.

The other young man, by the sounds of it, was looking for a good roll in the hay and that was about it, but Tsima refused to acknowledge that.

"Uubu, Uubu," she interrupted him before he totally broke down. "Ubbu, I'm going to come over, if that's okay." Pan didn't really ask, but stated.

"Uh huh," He mumbled back and she could almost imagine him wiping his shirt sleeve across his face, clearing it of the stiff salt drops that had adorned it for the duration of his monologue.

"I'm just going to get ready and tell my dad where I'll be, alright?"

A muffled response was all that came back to her and then she heard the click on the other side of the line.

In reality, she needed to call Marron and cancel her plans to join Trunks and her at the ancient movie theatre for some new box office hit she didn't really care to see.

She hated to say it, but she was mainly going to see Trunks. Just because Marron was dating him, doesn't mean she couldn't still look at him, right?

To help her conscience though, she did have to admit that she loved hanging out with the blond. They had about as much in common as they had different and so it always made their time together very enjoyable.

She rung her up and explained the situation and Marron made some amusing remark about Pan's affections for Uubu.

Pan just brushed her off and made her apologies for the evening and then skipped off to get ready to head over.

Wary of the previous situation, when the two were alone together last, repeating itself, Uubu had locked up the alcohol and arranged them a place to sit, inconspicuously, in the den.

Pan didn't even seem to notice.

They talked, and joked, and decided that his long time friend, Hitsumei, would do for his next girlfriend, and that he could find better comfort there. The prospect of the two dating was never brought up. Neither of them felt it appropriate.

Hitsumei and he had dated once before, but he had gotten out of it, afraid that he would be sucked into a commitment he didn't want. She just seemed to him as if she'd last forever. However, now, the idea of Hitsumei was much more pleasing, and it was decided. He would call her in the morning.

Pan left late, headed home to sleep comfortably in her bed. She felt that she deserved it.
