Chapter 3

"Mmmmmm. That was good. I like your waffles better though." Pan said as she rubbed her stomach.

"Thank you." Tai replied. "I am a pretty good cook, aren't I?"

"Dad said you got your cooking talents from Grandma." Pan replied. "He said she was the best cook ever."

"Yeah." Tai smiled. "Dad told me that too."

"I wish I could've seen her, known her, you know." Pan sighed. "Dad doesn't talk about her much, but Mom told me about her."

"I had to turn to Bulma and Vegeta to find out about Mom." Tai half-laughed.

"So are you calling Bra and Uub or what?" Pan asked.

"What, you don't like me?" Tai asked in a fake offended way.

"It's not that, but I know Uub is going to show up at the mall, looking for you, and you and him will got do stuff together, and I want somebody to hang out with." Pan explained.

"You are absolutely right!" Tai said as she took out her cell phone and dialed Bra's number. "Hey, Bra, this is Tai, I'm taking Pan to the mall, want to go... Sure... I'll pick you up... Be there in ten... Bye!"

"One down, one to go." Pan said.

"Yep." Tai said as she dialed Uub's cell phone. "Uub... Hey... Meet me in the mall in thirty minutes! Bye!"

"Didn't give him much of a choice now did you?" Pan asked her aunt.

"Do I ever?" Tai joked.

"But he still loves you. Not the teenage kind of love, but that special kind of love you feel for that one special person and that person only." Pan replied.

"You think?" Tai asked.

"Yeah, I do." Pan said.

They drove for about five more minutes and then they reached the C.C. Bra was already standing outside waiting for Tai and Pan. She had on a white halter-top and a pink pleated skirt and white sandals. With her she had her matching pink purse made out of seat belts.

"There you are." Bra said as she climbed into the convertible. "Is Uub going to be there?"

"Yes. And how did you guess he was coming?" Tai asked.

"'Cause he always does," Bra answered, "Even when you don't ask him!"

"So you got your cell phone?" Tai asked.

"And my credit cards." Bra finished. "It's all here!"

"No off to the mall we go!" Pan shouted. "Oooh! Turn up the radio! I love this song!"

The song was Avril Lavigne's "My Happy Ending". It was Pan's favorite song. Tai was more of a country fan, but she still liked bands like Maroon 5 and singers like Avril Lavigne, Evanescence, and Jessica Simpson.

"You were everything that I wanted, you were meant to be but it wasn't!" Pan and Bra sang.

When they reached the mall, it had been open for about an hour and the parking lot all ready had a lot of people there. Tai parked her car next to a yellow Volkswagen beetle. Uub was waiting for them in the food court.

"Hey, babe, how you doin'?" Uub asked his girlfriend.

"Fine, I guess, but now I'm perfect." Tai said as she gave Uub a kiss on the lips.

"Okay you lovebirds, we are going down to Barrettes Berets and Anything With a B." Bra said.

"Keep your cell phones handy!" Tai called as the girls walked away.

"So where are we going?" Uub asked. "I have an idea! Let's go to Victoria's Secrets!"

"Or we can go to the coffee shop and you won't have to worry about being single." Tai scowled.

"The coffee shop is good!" Uub agreed nervously. "Anywho, who is Victoria and what is her secret? I think we all want to know!"

"Let's drop the subject and go have fun." Tai smiled.

"Follow you anywhere." Uub smiled as Tai led him to the coffee shop.

The coffee shop was called Schmo's Joe. It had the wonderful scent of coffe beans and Tai had once worked there one summer. Tai ordered a cappuccino and Uub ordered black coffee from a geeky looking girl from behind the counter named Frances Charlie. Tai led Uub over to a quite corner.

"We need to talk." Tai said quietly.

"Is everything okay?" Uub asked as a knot began to form in his stomach at the dreaded words, "we need to talk".

"You know I applied for Julliard." Tai said.

"Yeah, I know," Uub nodded starting to feel sick, "you're going to get in."

"And if I do, I'll be moving." Tai whispered.

"Yeah..." Uub gasped.

"I won't go if you don't want me to." Tai said quickly.

Uub looked at his girlfriend. She would give up Julliard for him? Ever since she was little she wanted to go to a famous arts school. Sure she hadn't gotten in yet, but if she did... She would give it all up for him.

"Why?" Uub asked.

"I love you." Tai said. "It's not that stupid I love you, you love me stuff either. It's the real thing and I don't want to give that up!"

"I love you too! But we can find a way without giving up your dream of becoming a famous actress and going to a famous school!" Uub replied.

"Long distance relationships don't work and you know it!" Tai shouted.

After that the couple sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity. Tai loved Uub and she didn't want to lose him. If she went to Julliard, if she got in, it might mess things up between them. Uub was dumbfounded to say the least. His mind was like a tornado spinning around and all messed up. Questions like, 'are we too long to be in love?' Or 'what if I lose her forever?' ricochet off the walls in his mind. Tai was the first to speak up.

"Why am even worrying! I haven't even got accepted yet!" Tai exclaimed. "Hey, come on, let's go look at dresses for the graduating dance! It's in two months and I haven't even got my dress yet! Ooooh I hope they have something good left!"

"Two months is enough." Uub said still feeling a little uneasy.

"Yeah, I know, but I want to look positively perfect. I'm the most popular chick in school, I need to look my absolute best!" Tai explained.

"You look good to me." Uub said.

"You're supposed to say that, you're my boyfriend." Tai replied matter-of-factly.

"We've been dating long enough for you to know I really mean that." Uub said.

"It's almost been five years." Tai smiled.

"Next Tuesday," Uub answered, "you're eighteenth birthday."

"That's when we became a couple. Only we didn't tell anybody until Dad caught us making out in the tree house we built when we were seven." Tai reminisced. "I've known you all my life."

"Yeah and I don't regret any minute of it." Uub said grabbing Tai's hand as the walked through the mall.

That was Chapter 3. Did you like it? I kind of made it a little romance-like, but still dramatic with the whole Julliard thing. So you know the drill, review and wait for chapter 4. I know this si hard for some of you but be patient.
