I think I will just write this story on a whim. I am not gonna think about it much...wait, no, that is a pure lie.

I am going to plan out the entire story and then write it all out. It is gonna make complete sense and nothing will be just 'on a whim' because I do not like writing like that.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters. For now, anyway. Later in the story, I'm gonna add my own characters.

Authors Notes: If I get any flames about this story, just so you know, I really don't care what you think and I'm going to paste the flames on my page and publicly make fun of you!

Everybody in this story have the GT ages, but this IS NOT BASED IN GT!!!! GT sucks and I will never use it as a reference.

And as a final note, I just want everybody to remember that is my first lemon story, so give me a little break.

When big blocks of text are in Italics in this, it means it's a flashback. Don't worry, though. I plan for only one or two flashbacks in this entire story.

Real Life

By Rabbit of Earth

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

'Alone. So alone.'

The thought was a little blunt and false if you considered everything, but the young woman who thought it was thinking of only one factor of life: romance. passion. The usual wants of a young woman. But perhaps she was wanting too much. Or maybe, her wants were simple and shallow.

Bra Briefs sighed and stood from her resting-place under a large oak tree, her favorite place in the world. It was so different from what she lived in. Bra liked the way the wind would rustle the leaves just right so it was soft and soothing. Her home life was anything but soothing. She would gladly switch the places of every 16-year-old female who wanted to be the richest teenager in the world. The glittered, pampered life had grown so old to Bra. It sometimes seemed that people were only polite to her because of her social stature. She would hear the rumors at school about her, some grotesque, others perverted, and others just plain so odd that Bra wasn't even sure where they had come from. Of course, none of these were said to her face. She was usually just around the corner or in the bathroom stall when she heard them. Many of the rumors lately were about her appearance. She usually wore red or black, causing others to shun her for being 'gothic'. It was true, she was a bit, but that gave them no right to mock her for her differences. When she talked to her mother about these things, she just said they were jealous of Bra's wealth and happiness. And that's what always troubled her: was she really happy?

The wind continued blowing her long lavender hair into her face, itching underneath her eyes. Bra pushed it back and looked at her watch. She knew she was going to be late home if she continued to walk. She smiled at the thought.

'We can't all be perfect in this world.' She thought, knowing that's what she was expected to be.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra was relieved to feel the temperature go up as she stepped into the residential area of Capsule Corp. Outside, it had begun to get windy. It was a sure sign of fall nearly starting and summer ending. She placed down her bag and began looking for Trunks, just to talk to someone.

She walked into the kitchen to find they had guest. Son Goten, her brother's best friend, had once again come over. Though it appeared he brought along a few others with him: His girlfriend, Marron Kuri, and his niece Son Pan. Bra didn't mind though; Pan was her best friend and she was well aquatinted with Marron and Goten, having had Goten come over all the time when they were younger. Pan turned her head from her point of interest and waved Bra over. Bra smiled and walked over to the group.

"Where have you been all afternoon, Bra?" Pan asked, no longer looking at her friend. Bra laughed at her friend's obvious crush on her older brother, Trunks, her original 'point of interest'.

"I've been out in the park." Bra answered calmly, sitting between Goten and her brother. "Just sitting, thinking...the sort of things you do at the park." That was how she always answered that question; she never gave away which park or her exact location in that mystery park. Pan laughed.

"What kind of things do you do there, Bra?" Pan asked, narrowing her eyes in an inquisitive manner. Trunks continued the joke.

"Yes, Bra. What do you do that takes you All. Day. Long to do?" Everyone laughed. Goten leaned over to Marron and whispered just loud enough so everybody could hear "Wish we could do that!" Marron turned bright red and slapped Goten softly, which only encouraged him further. Turning to Bra, Goten smiled, raising his hand to his mouth like a microphone.

"Tell us Bra, what is your secret? The world must know!" Bra laughed and said

"Trade secrets, my boy." Goten's face dropped, but soon he was smiling again, starting a new conversation.

Bra stood up quickly and walked out the room, the conversation boring to her. Before she walked away, she stole one last look at the four, envious of them all.

Bra was mostly envious of Marron and Goten's relationship, not because Marron was going out with Goten, which was far from the case. Bra could never imagine Goten and herself dating; She had always thought of him more as a big brother like Trunks. Plus, Vejiita would most likely kill Goten and that would cause her brother, Marron, and the rest of his family grief.

The reason she was jealous was that even though Goten always made jokes about sex or something like that, Bra believed that the two weren't like that. The two weren't even that romantic towards each other. Sure, the two always did things for each other that were just because they cared, but it wasn't like the storybook romance that Bra thought it should be. They were just....

Happy.

Bra stared up at her ceiling, still not sure what Marron had meant by that statement, even four months after the conversation. Tired of remembering and pondering, Bra slid off her bed and reached for one of her many books. She didn't really care what she was reading, as long as it distracted her from her hollow life.

'Hollow...yes, that seems right.' She though dimly. It wasn't like she felt like killing herself, but she just felt, no, she knew she was older mentally than many people her age (thanks to her mother's company and the intelligence it took to understand matters that came with it) and their shallow thoughts didn't suit her.

Bra's gloomy thoughts were washed away as she giggled at the lines of text in her book. She enjoyed reading; most people could do it and it didn't involve technology that only her family had. Anybody could get a book or write one for that matter. All it took was an idea, some writing utensils and the dedication to finish it.

Bra's laughter soon died down as the light outside dimmed and her eyelids closed, her mind telling her stories of her own while waiting for the morrow.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

The bright light caused Bra to groan and throw her pillow at the window. How the blinds had become open was beyond her knowing. She really didn't feel ready for the sun that morning.

'Should I be the good little rich daddy's girl today?' she thought, still not quite awake as she began dressing. 'Or should I ditch the mockery and laughter by going to the park again?' She weighed her options and chose the latter. She was already ahead of the rest of her schoolmates in all her classes, so one day gone would not affect her much. The only problem was...so many people could recognize her. 'Add one more item to the 'joy' of being rich and famous.' Bra considered this problem and decided that she really did not care.

She walked softly through the vast halls of her home, not wanting to cause any attention to be focused on her. She knew her father and brother were already busy training before Trunks had to go to work, but her mother was always unpredictable in the morning. Bra peeked around the corner to look in the kitchen, where her mother might be sipping coffee to wake up; walking past the kitchen was the only way she could get out of the house without having to jump out her window. She really didn't feel up to that. To Bra's luck, Bulma was not there that morning. Bra sighed in relief and headed for the door. She opened the door and was ready to step out when she heard the familiar voice of her grandmother.

"Bra, sweetie! You almost forgot your bag for school!" The ancient woman said, still as perky as ever, pointing to the shoulder bag sitting on an armchair in the main room. Bra smiled and grabbed her bag. She loved her grandmother, but she didn't quite understand why she still lived with the rest of the family.

"Bye Grandma! Thanks." Bra called out, walking out the door quickly. She was actually glad her grandmother had insisted she grab her bag; it wasn't her school one. It mostly contained a good amount of money, her CD player, CD's (the player would be useless otherwise) and yet another book, with a few other odds and ends.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Shielding her eyes, Bra wondered if it had been wise to wear black that day. She had been outside all morning just sitting in the shade reading peacefully, but it was close to noon and she was starting to get hungry. This wasn't much of a surprise to her because she had left so quickly that she had not even considered breakfast. Because of this hunger, Bra was now roaming the streets for some store to get food from and the sun was beating down hard on her. Finally, she managed to find a small, cheap grocery store. Bra figured she could get a soda and some kind of chips easy in the small store.

When she walked through the doors, Bra realized the store wasn't as small as it had appeared. True, the items appeared to be cheap compared to the supermarkets she was used to, but it had a nice, old-fashioned feel to it. The man behind the cash register rose his head from his paper at the sound of the bell that rang every time the doors were opened. He smiled at Bra warmly and went back to his paper. This confused Bra to no end. With her attire, she was used to people in stores looking at her oddly, but the old man didn't seem to care. Bra realized why when she looked at the other customers. Almost every strange outfit she could think of was in the store. The sight made Bra smile like the old man had; she found a place where people didn't judge the way most did.

While roaming the many rows of food, unsure of what to get, Bra noticed a small cafe in the back. It was open to the public, which she thought was rather...cute.

'Maybe I'll just go in there...' she thought, still unsure what she wanted to eat. Of course, she realized she could just buy everything she considered and could indeed eat it all, but she didn't want to seem too weird. Heading for the cafe, she noticed a faintly familiar dark-skinned face heading for the cashier with quite an amount of food. The old man looked up his paper again and smiled.

"Shoppin' fer that ole' family again, eh Uub?" The old man said friendly-like. Uub nodded. "So how's yer ma doin' now?" Bra wasn't listening to the conversation after that. She was too busy trying to remember where she had seen this guy before. Now that she had a name, it was a little easier.

'Uub...Uub...Why is that familiar?' She thought. Snapping her fingers, Bra realized who this guy was. She had seen him about 9-10 years ago, when Goku had trained him. She had first seen him at one of those tournaments that the males in her family seemed to love so much. Since he was around Goku a lot, Goten had befriended him (Goten does that easily), so that means that Trunks had done the same. And, as Bra finally remembered, he had come to Capsule Corp. and met her there. Happy that she now knew who Uub was, she headed for the counter to talk to him. But much to her disappointment, he had already walked out the door.

'Shit.' Bra ran out after him. 'Why do I want to talk to this guy?' She thought suddenly. 'Because I need someone to talk to.'

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

'Oh, damn. I lost..Oh wait! There he is!' Bra spotted her target, still a little bit unsure of why she wanted to catch up with this guy. Uub was about to turn the corner, but the young girl with lavender hair running towards him caused him to stop for a moment. He realized that there was something vaguely familiar about this girl, unknowing she had the same feelings. When she reached him, she smiled, her blue-violet eyes sparkling from the sun still beating down.

"Uub!" She spoke brightly, as if they were old friends. Bra waited for the response from him, but after realizing he didn't remember her, she introduced herself. "I'm Bra Briefs, remember? The younger sister of Trunks?" Bra sighed and continued in her introduction; Uub was still silent. "I'm not surprised you don't remember me. We haven't seen each other in," she paused to count quickly in her mind, "10 years. You met Trunks when you met Goten when Goku was training you." She smiled again, waiting for an answer. 'If he doesn't remember Goku, I'm gonna really feel like an ass....'

"Yeah, I remember you now..." Uub said quietly, mostly for himself. He looked over Bra quickly and smiled, bowing his head politely. "Well, Bra Briefs, it was...ah...nice to see you again. You certainly have grown up, like most people do...Goodbye." He said almost too quickly. Bra reached out and grabbed his arm quickly to stop him; this act startled him a bit.

"Why don't you stop and chat for awhile? We haven't seen each other for so long; there's that little cafe back there," Bra said nicely, a bit upset that he wanted to leave so soon. Uub shook his head; his face a light shade of red, and pulled away quickly.

"Oh...no...I can't, really. You see, my family needs these," he indicated the purchases in his arms, "A few mouths to feed and I really need to get these home..." Bra nodded and stepped back. 'Well, at least now I know I'm not the reason he needs to go quickly...I think.' Bra was still disappointed that he was leaving; she was used to people acting like they were her best friends, but Uub didn't seem to really care about who she was in the social world. Deciding that she wasn't going to be intimidated by this change of her pace in life, she quickly called out before Uub turned the corner:

"Hey! Um...If you want to talk later, I'll still be in the cafe, okay?" Uub smiled and hurried away.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Uub felt bad about rushing away so quickly, but he just didn't get out of his home much and didn't talk to many people; he certainly hadn't expected to ever talk the Bra Briefs ever again. He also hadn't expected her to grow up so pretty. Of course, if he were to tell anybody he thought that, well, they would think he liked her in 'that' way. But that wasn't it. She was just pretty. It was an obvious fact of life. Uub, personally, thought nothing of it. He had grown up to be polite always, so such thoughts like the whole 'like her that way' would never cross his mind.

When he reached his family's home, much further out in the woods than most people's homes, Uub walked inside to find in strangely empty. 'The others must be having lunch in the forest or something. So...they won't mind if I'm gone a little longer than planned.' He thought, remembering the offer Bra had made before he left her standing on the sidewalk. Uub felt like he needed to make up for being so rude to her.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra sighed; the digits on her watch told her she had been waiting over an hour now for an almost complete stranger. The music running through her headphones made the little cafe have a bit more life. Bra liked it when people opened their mouths and it fit with the words of her current song.

'Oh well...it's not that I needed to talk to him. Certainly not a matter of life or death.' Her thoughts were trying to cheer her up, but she still felt hurt that nobody seemed to enjoy her company except her family, her friends' families, and her friends themselves. And how many of those did she have? Pan, Marron, and Goten. 'Three fucking friends.' Taking off her headphones, Bra clicked off her CD and placed it cautiously back inside her bag.

Bra shuddered when she stepped outside; though the sun was still burning, a burst of wind had blown past her at the right moment. Bra cursed under her breath for not bringing a light sweater as she began walking back to the park, knowing that if she went back home someone there would realize that school was supposed to still be in session. Lifting her head slightly, Bra noticed Uub coming around the same corner he had disappeared behind earlier. Quickening her pace, Bra came close to running up to him; she was a bit surprised to see him to likewise turn in her direction. When the got close enough to each other to talk to each other without having to move closer, Bra smirked.

"You kept a lady waiting. That was rude, you realize." Bra smiled when Uub's face went a light shade of red again (how could she miss it?). 'He doesn't seem to get out much.' Uub nodded.

"Yes...I'm sorry. It's just I live so far away and..." Bra waved her hand to silence his apology; it confused her. Barely anybody apologized to her before. Her brother rarely did it.

"It's okay, Uub. It was a joke. I really don't mind." That was a lie, she did mind, but she didn't like being confused. Not letting Uub know this, she smiled and wrapped her arm through his. "You're here now, and that's what counts." Before Uub could protest that he really needed to go soon, Bra pulled him along to go to the park with her.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Uub was a little thankful that Bra was doing most of the talking; he really only had to speak when she asked a question and when she did that, he usually just had to answer with a 'yes' or 'no'. Bra soon began to notice his muteness and, wanting him to open up a little, began to ask questions that needed more than one-syllable words.

"You mentioned, earlier of course, that you needed to get that food to your family. And I was just wondering, how come you're still living with your family?" She paused momentarily, but quickly fixed what she said before he could respond. "Oh! I mean, it's not a bad thing you still live with them! I mean, my mother still lives in the same house as her parents. I'm just curious, that's all." She laughed nervously, hoping she hadn't offended him by that. Uub was at first taken back by the question, but smiled and finally answered.

"Well, I don't actually live in the same house as the rest of my family, but I'm only about 200 yards away. After my father died, I had to take care of the family. I was the 'best choice' for the job." He beamed when he said the last sentence. Bra nodded.

"Oh. Um...when did he die?" She asked cautiously, not wanting to pry too much. She was a little curious though.

"When I was 13."

"How old are you now?"

"20 years old."

Bra burst into a fit of giggles, not able to contain her amusement. When Uub gave her a puzzled look, she quickly explained herself through small chuckles.

"Oh...well, you see. You're four years older than me, and my brother's best friend is four years older than his girlfriend while my best friend is fourteen years younger than my brother, who she has a crush on." She coughed, realizing he didn't find the humor she did. "It's a bunch of fours...I found that kind of funny..." Bra coughed again, wanting to change the subject. "Sooooo.... You've been taking care of them for seven years now...that's quite a responsibility." 'Thank Kami there's no fours in that sentence...' she thought, horrified that she had just done that. Much to her relief, Uub just continued the conversation instead of dwelling on Bra's humor.

"Yeah. I suppose to most people. But it really hasn't been that bad. Most of my brothers and sisters are older than I am, so they're already gone and living away from home. And the two little ones are pretty well-behaved and polite."

"Like you?" Bra questioned, a large grin on her face. Uub blushed at the compliment.

The two continued chatting while walking around the park until Bra stole a quick glance at her wristwatch. Cursing, Bra realized that she should have started home much sooner. She apologized to Uub and was about to run off but she stopped when she was only two feet away. Turning around, she grabbed Uub's hand and began searching through her bag with her free hand. Smiling, Bra pulled out a pen and began writing on Uub's hand, not having any paper.

"Call this number sometime tomorrow. It's Saturday, so I don't have to be to school. Like I should have today." She finished writing and dropped the pen back into the bag carelessly, releasing Uub's hand. Bra began to turn away again, but stopped herself. "Oh!" She turned her head to look over her shoulder to face Uub for one last time that day. "That's my cell phone number, so you won't have to worry about my brother or worse, my grandmother, picking up the phone. Sayonara!" Bra gave one finale wave and ran in the direction of the famous Capsule Corp., leaving Uub, who left the park soon afterwards.

When Bra reached her house, she was almost surprised that it was so big. 'That's so odd....for awhile I forgot I was rich...'

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Steam surrounded the exit of the bathroom as Bra walked out, drying her hair roughly. The moment she had returned home, she got a lecture from her mother about the importance of school, even if she is ahead in all of her classes. So now Bra was grounded, not that it would stop her if she had somewhere to be tomorrow. Her mother never was very serious about punishment. How Bulma found out was beyond Bra's knowing. Probably Pan calling to see if Bra was sick or something that day. Bra loved her dearly, but it was kind of annoying to have Pan being a freshman at her high school that year. Only, of course, when Pan ruined her escape plans. Other than that, Pan was the only real friend she had at school and enjoyed every extra second of it.

Bra rushed to her room to get out of her bathrobe, feeling the need to change quickly. She always felt like that; there was usually at least one cameraman a week to snap a picture of someone from her family. Though so far, there had been none of her that was wanted from the public. Probably because she kept her blinds closed during the night unless her pajamas had no chance of exposing some part of her body and always checked the lock on her doors. Her entire family did the same; so far nothing about any of them had come up.

Crawling in her bed, Bra clicked on the small lamp she had placed strategically next to her bed. She didn't want to read that night; she just wasn't tired. Quickly shifting her eyes to her phone, Bra wondered if Uub was going to call her. He had just seemed so shy to her, like he was afraid of something.

'If only I had asked for his phone number.' Bra thought casually, fluffing her pillow a bit. 'Then I wouldn't have to worry like I am. If he doesn't call, I'll have no idea how to find him again. Well, there is that store, but I don't know when he'll be there again.' she sighed, clicking her lamp off. 'I just want to break his shell....'

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

'Ring.'

Nothing.

'Ring.'

Still, nothing.

Frustrated, Bra threw her pillow at her phone, knocking it off the desk. Bra didn't worry too much; it was still plugged into the charger so if someone would call her, she could still get it. However, it was almost noon and someone hadn't called and it was getting irritating. Not wanting to waste the entire day, Bra grabbed her cell-phone off the floor and ran out of her room. She could most likely get Pan to do something that day, so she would be fine. Even if Uub didn't call her, Bra was determined to have a good day. But there was nothing wrong with carrying her phone with her...

'Just in case.'

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra walked through her favorite park again, still alone that day. It had seemed that Pan's family had gone somewhere for the day, nobody had been at their home when Bra had gotten there. She was disappointed, but she knew it wouldn't be good to dwell on it. So she tried to enjoy the park that day, the familiar drone of people, wind, and ducks filling her ears. She was ready to leave, but someone near the edge of the pond caught her attention. Walking over to where he sat, Bra began to wonder if she should. Since he hadn't called, maybe he didn't want to stay in contact. She shunned the idea, remembering the hours they had spent together in that very park the day before.

Uub noticed the reflection in the water before he noticed Bra actually sitting next to him. He could see a bit of anger in her expression, but most of it showed relief. Why she was relieved, he was unsure. They sat there in a moment of silence until Bra broke their silence.

"You didn't call me." She said sullenly, still staring into water. Uub nodded, a small frown forming on his face. "Why?"

"I...I don't have a phone."

"Oh...I'm sorry. If I had known, I wouldn't have.." Uub waved his hand, interrupting her. Bra smiled a bit and shifted herself a bit to sit closer to him, leaning her head on his shoulder. "Why don't you have one?" Uub sighed, a bit embarrassed about admitting this.

"Well, I've just never had the money on account I can't seem to get a steady job. I can't buy a cell-phone or even a household one. I survive fine on what money I have, but the bills would change that." He turned his head slightly to talk more directly to Bra. "I was hoping you would come here today, so I could tell you."

"And how long were you planning to stay here?" Uub shrugged. "Well, why didn't you just use a payphone? Those certainly don't cost much...I think." Again, Uub shrugged, causing Bra to slip off of his shoulder onto the grass with a small 'thump' sound. She laughed and lifted her head slightly to place her arms underneath. "Or you could have just come over to my house directly.... But anyway, we're here together now, so I guess it doesn't really matter." Uub nodded, a small smile creeping to his face. Bra tilted her head slightly, slightly confused when he began to chuckle.

"What? Do I have bird crap or something in my hair?" Bra's hands went immediately to her hair, searching for some white against the lavender. She sounded irritated, obviously not used to being laughed at in her face. Uub shook his head, leaning back so he too could be lying down on the grass. He turned his head to face her and explained.

"No no, you don't have bird crap in your hair. I was just wondering how I could possibly get to you at your house today."

"I don't follow."

"You have to have a row of people at your house just to see you." Bra laughed; Uub noticed a hint of sorrow in it.

"Only news reporters and cameramen, perverted or not. I'm not exactly the most popular girl in school, you know." Her smile faded as she said this, her eyes darting away to escape Uub's glance. She hadn't meant to tell him that. It would most likely just make him uncomfortable if she dwelled on her little problems.

"Why?" Bra turned her eyes back to Uub.

"What?"

"Why are you not exactly the most popular girl in school?" Uub looked truly curious, which only confused Bra further. She scowled and lifted the upper half of her body from her grass, still partially lying down.

"Come on, Uub! Look at me!" She lifted her arms, showing off her body like women do to the scoreboard on game shows when the contestants buy a vowel. "I'm quiet at school! I'm ahead in all my classes, which causes guys to leave me alone! I have the body that every other girl in my school dreams of! And to top it all off, I wear black! People avoid me! They avoid the quiet, smart, beautiful Goth!" She finished with a huffy sigh, relieved to finally get that out.

"Why do people judge you on your appearance?" The question was simple enough, yet Bra had trouble answering it.

"I...I don't know. I think it's because that's what the media tells them to do. People just forget that it's not that important what others think of you, as long as you yourself are happy. They ignore my personality and intelligence as though it was a plague." She lay back down, waiting for a response. After a small pause, Uub gave Bra the response she was waiting for; it was not what she expected.

"People often either avoid or destroy what they do not understand or are afraid of. People find you intimidating, so they try to imagine you as ugly, dumb, or even non-existent." He smiled a bit, grasping her hand in his own. "I, on the other hand, find you to be none of those things and everything that you want yourself to be."

"Since you seem to be so wise, what do I want to be?"

"I can't answer that," Uub said smugly. Bra 'hmphed' and stood up, a small grin replacing her scowl from earlier.

"Well, then I'll just have to find out on my own. But for now, I think I'm going to find myself something to eat, because I forgot to have breakfast this morning. Want to come along? I'll even buy you something, if you want of course." Bra had added that last part, not wanting him to become insulted somehow because of their differences in money. She extended her hand to him so she could help him up and he gladly accepted.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra twisted her arm upward to catch the dripping ice cream in her mouth, not wanting to waste any of it. It was her sixth ice cream bar, so it had finally begun to melt. Uub just shook his head in amazement.

"How do you manage to eat six of those?" He asked as Bra took her final bite, throwing the stick away.

"I'm half Saiya-jin, you know. It's really not hard," She explained simply in between licking each of her fingers. "So, what do you want to do now? The days still is young in my standards, and dates can't just be talking and ice cream." Bra continued walking down the crowded street, not realizing that Uub was still standing there.

'Date? When did this become a date?' It was at that moment that the sheer thought of that moment being a date even crossed Uub's mind. He liked the idea, yet he had a feeling that something was wrong with this.

Uub shook off the strange feeling and quickened his pace to catch up with Bra.

After a while longer, Bra glanced at her wristwatch like she had the day before, only this time she knew she wouldn't get in trouble if the time was past the usual hour of her mother's wanted arrival time. Bulma understood that Saturdays were the days for infinite time, having been young herself. Even though she knew she wouldn't get in trouble, Bra still mumbled about the time.

"I should get home now. I have some bonus homework from skipping school yesterday." Uub smiled and shook his head in an amused matter.

"You skip school, yet you still do the work. I've never heard of anybody doing that."

"Well, I skip school just so I don't do the same thing I did yesterday. Life gets boring if you do the same thing too long."

"I'd have to disagree with that. It all depends on what you're doing over and over again." There was an awkward silence, Bra not quite sure how to retaliate against that. Finally she just laughed and released Uub's arm from her own, which had found it's way there five minutes ago.

"Like I said, I've got to go now. Should I meet you here tomorrow?" She tilted her head slightly, giving that innocent look that could get anybody to agree with her. 'Although, I don't think he needs to be suckered into coming.' Bra thought happily as Uub nodded with his smile that Bra was really beginning to like.

"Sure. I should get home too. Most likely, my little sister is wondering where I am by now."

"Well then go. I know how it feels to have someone keep you waiting," Bra ventured, bringing back the wait he had caused her the day before. Uub laughed nervously. "See you tomorrow, Bra." He waved in unison with her and turned to go in the direction of his home, with Bra watching him for a little while before she began walking home as well.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

"So Bra, what happened over your weekend?" Pan inquired slyly, having been watching Bra the entire day. It was the end of Monday and for seven hours, Bra had roamed the halls with a new aura. Instead of the usual pace of 'leave me alone if you insult me behind my back', Bra had been almost friendly to the people who insulted her. Pan knew that something good had happened to Bra.

Bra laughed. "Nothing much. I had planned on spending Saturday with you, but you were gone. So I went to the park and met up with a past friend. We talked, ate and went back to the park yesterday to do the same thing over again." Pan shook her head and nudged Bra with her elbow.

"I know there's more to that story. Why are you acting so friendly to everybody who just last week you were planning the humiliation of their lives."

"Well, on Saturday I said something about how people avoid me because of what I wear and how smart I am. He said that people often avoid things that intimidate them or they make fun of them, so I shouldn't worry about them because he thought that I was whatever made me happy. I guess he saw me as happy. Because of this conversation, I decided that I shouldn't give a second thought to what they think of me."

"Oh...that's what it was. It was a guy," Pan giggled. She decided to press the issue, wanting to find out about the one guy who didn't seem to make Bra want to blast them away for a little while. "Who is this guy? Do I know him? When are you seeing him next?" Bra stopped to think about the questions, mostly wondering if she should tell Pan or not. She decided against it, knowing that if Pan knew it was Uub, she would be able to pest both of them about it.

"I'm meeting him somewhere on Saturday. As for the other question, no. I don't think you know him. I met him at one of my mother's business meetings. One of the businessmen's son." Pan's face twisted into one of disgust, her tongue hanging out.

"Eeew. I hate those things."

"Meetings or businessmen's sons?" Pan laughed, punching Bra lightly in the arm.

"The meetings, baka. I went to one with you, remember?"

Bra laughed and nodded her head, remembering it well. After that day, she swore that she would never bring Pan to anything like that again and the two of them could just stick to Anime Cons. The two continued chatting about disastrous adventures, with Bra glad that the conversation about Uub was over. Bra hadn't wanted to lie to Pan, but she wasn't sure what her relationship with Uub was or what it would turn into. Though she hoped it would progress, she wasn't sure what Uub wanted with her. It was best to keep it secret for now.

Pan looked around Bra's room, as if something different had sprung up out of nowhere. Bra was stuck on doing homework, while Pan wanted to go outside and train for a little while.

"Bra...Come on! You're allowed to stop doing homework for a little while. Let's go have some fun, then we can finish our homework." Without looking up from her work, Bra just shook her head.

"You know Pan, you could be doing you're homework so we wouldn't have to stop our fun to finish it later." Pan grumbled and grabbed her freshman geography and opened to the assigned page.

"I hate it when you're right about these things."

After only two minutes of reading, Pan slammed her book closed and tossed it up on Bra's bed next to Bra herself, causing her to jump. Pan ignored the small yelp sound from Bra and stood up.

"Dammit! I can't take it anymore!" Pan leapt on Bra's bed and turned to face her best friend. "I have to know everything about this guy! What his name is, what he looks like, and most importantly, how is it that he's male and didn't try anything with you like your past boyfriends did." Sighing, Bra closed her book calmly and placed it on top of Pan's book.

"Well for one, he's taller than me..."

"You're short. You're father's short."

Bra glared at Pan and continued. As she spoke, her face softened and she appeared to get an almost dreamy look in her eyes. "He has dark skin, natural, not a tan, crazy black hair, deep black eyes and the most wonderful smile I've ever seen."

Pan snickered; it was too much for her, the description. Bra glared at her again. "What is so funny." Pan burst out laughing and grasped her hands together, looking up at the ceiling.

"Deep black eyes and the most wonderful smile! Golly gee, Bra, that fellow sounds swell! I wish..."

Her sentence was interrupted when a pillow found it's way to her face. Pan coughed and pulled her hands away from each other. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'll shut up and you'll continue." Bra nodded a thank-you.

"And as for why he hasn't 'tried anything' is because he doesn't care about those things, plus he's much to shy and mature to even think of anything like that."

"So he doesn't care that you are the most beautiful person in the world, not to mention the richest, plus he's too shy to even think of try the usual shit guys try." Pan paused for a moment, considering. "I wish I could find a guy like that." Bra laughed.

"Yeah. All you have is my brother. And he's less mature than U...him, or anyone for that matter," Bra corrected, hoping Pan hadn't noticed her flub. To her luck, Pan's face just turned red.

"I do not 'have' your brother. I just happen to like him, you know, more like a schoolgirl crush. And he's twice my age! Although," she blushed again, "In a few years that won't matter."

They burst out laughing and continued to talk about Trunks and Pan's possibilities in the future. Their homework and Uub were soon forgotten like before.

Several hours later, Pan lay awake in her sleeping bag that she had left at the Briefs' house long ago. Bra was sleeping, her soft breathing filling the room. Pan looked up at her and frowned.

'You're hiding something from me Bra. I know you can't tell me now, but when will you?'

Elsewhere...

Uub had been shocked when nobody in his family had asked where he had been for two days in a row.

Since most of his siblings looked up to him, they always checked up on him to make sure he was fine and that they hadn't missed anything fun. Lately though, his family didn't feel as though they needed to ask. They had seen Uub become a bit happier in the past few days; although he always kept up the face of happiness, everyone could tell that he felt as though he was missing something. Even the five-year-olds could see that Uub needed to keep this secret.

But, it was Monday and he hadn't gone anywhere, so the shock from the day before when he had returned to his house to find his little sister sitting there without any questions had subsided.

Lying in bed, Uub couldn't help but wonder what Bra thought about all of this. Although he himself wasn't sure how strong his feelings were for her, Uub hoped that maybe, if at all possible, Bra had some kind of feelings for him.

'Maybe...I should just ask her Saturday. Then at least I'll know,' Uub thought as he drifted off to sleep. In the back of his mind, he was afraid that she would answer against what he wanted.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra was thankful that it was finally Saturday. The entire week had made her anxious for this day because of what she and Pan had talked about on Monday. Pan had said something about him not caring about her looks or money, which was nice. But it had made Bra wonder about Pan, and the rest of her friends. She had tried to ignore the nagging doubts, but she couldn't help it. How many of them were her friends just because of her family, fortune, or beauty? She thought about this during her walk to the park. Pan, Bra was sure, was a true friend because so many years Pan had never asked for anything from Bra except to be a good, faithful friend. And that thought comforted her and she decided she didn't really need to wonder about her friends. She had just been paranoid in that on instant.

'I guess I'm just used to being treated like something special so people can use something of mine.'

Bra was glad when she finally reached the park; Her shoulder bag had begun to get heavy. She sat down and leaned back on the grass, waiting for Uub to arrive. She didn't wait long. Uub showed up almost directly after she did and sat down next to her. He liked how she always wanted to meet in the park. It made it easier on both of them, he thought. Bra had told him that nobody beside him knew that she went there, so nobody would bother them. At the time, Uub had blushed at the comment, but now he was almost thankful. He needed to ask her.

When he sat down, Bra smiled and reached for her bag which lay on the other side of her.

"I got you something," she said as she dug around in her bag, looking for a specific object. Grinning, she pulled out a familiar object and handed it to Uub. "Now we can contact each other during the weekdays. And of course, you can use it anytime you want or need." She waited for a response, but all that came to her was an awkward silence. Finally, Uub spoke.

"Bra...I can't pay for a cell-phone." Uub picked the cell-phone from his lap and was ready to hand it back to Bra, but she pushed it away against his chest.

"I know that. That's why I am. I've already paid for it and all the phone bills will go to me."

"I can't accept this, Bra," Uub explained pitifully, sadness growing in his eyes.

Getting irritated, Bra stood up from her spot on the grass to look down at Uub.

"Why not? I'm not trying to flaunt my money, if that's what you're thinking. I'm simply trying to be helpful, because I thought that you didn't care about who I am in the world of the rich and that you saw me as just another person in this large world. I guess I've been assuming too much." Uub looked up at her for a moment, surprised by her outburst. But somehow, he managed a smile and stood up to face her.

"I didn't think you were trying to flaunt your money. I just don't understand why you would bother doing something like this for me. Why?"

"I...just wanted to do something nice for you because you've been so wonderful these past few days and I wanted to repay you." Bra's eyes shifted, not wanting anymore eye contact. She wasn't even sure what she had meant by her answer. Was that really what she had wanted to say?

"Is that all?"

"Well, I also wanted to be able to contact you anytime I needed. Because... I like talking to you. I like you, in general. I take back what I said." A small smile grew on her face. "I know you don't care about my money or my body or anything like that. You just care about me." She turned her eyes back to Uub to see him still smiling. Even though she knew what was about to happen, Bra was still surprised to feel Uub's lips on hers.

The stood in silence like that until Uub pulled back slowly, his smile even wider. Bra opened her eyes and looked straight at Uub, the surprise still strong in her mind.

"You always seemed too shy to do that. I thought I'd be the one to kiss you first."

"I was afraid you never would." Bra just sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Then I'll rid you of your fears," she whispered softly, pulling his mouth to hers once again, slowly so she could get in the final word. "Let's just stay like this for a little while more."

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

The sounds of the radio droned on continuously as Bra sat in the passenger's side of Marron's car. Pan sat in the backseat attempting to dance to the music with her seatbelt. Not taking her eyes off the road, Marron decided to start a conversation to stop Pan's pathetic attempts.

"So, Bra, Goten tells me that you've got a boyfriend now." Bra gasped slightly, turning to face Pan.

"You told somebody!" Pan shrugged.

"I only told Uncle Goten! I didn't know he would tell anybody!", she protested weakly, not really caring all that much. "Besides, what does it matter? I mean, it's not like there will be any need to keep it a secret."

Bra sighed and turned in her seat again to face forward. Marron chuckled and continued.

"Well, I'm glad Bra. As long as you're happy." She turned her eyes towards Bra, a glint of knowing in her eyes. "How long have you been together?"

"Two weeks since yesterday." Marron smiled and directed her attention to Pan.

"And what about you Pan? Anybody in your life?"

Pan opened her mouth to answer, but a cell-phone ran the moment she did; She closed her mouth instantly for a momentary fear that the noise had come from her. The phone ran a second time and all three girls reached for their personal phones at the same time, expecting the call to be for them. Bra continued talking into her receiver as Marron and Pan put their phones away.

"Just shopping with Marron and Pan....I told you this yesterday....okay, okay. I'll see you tonight, okay?...Great. Bye now...I love you too." Bra clicked off her phone and tossed it back in her bag at her feet. When she lifted her head, she noticed Pan leaning on the side of her chair, with the same questioning glance that Marron was giving. Bra froze for a moment, not sure what was going on; realizing what they thought, she laughed and waved Pan off of her seat. "It was just my mother calling." She grabbed her phone again and showed them the caller I.D. Pan shrunk back in her seat and crossed her arms.

"Damn."

"I'm proud, Bra. We've been shopping half day and yet, somehow, I have more packages today," Pan spoke in a fake tone of amazement. Bra just shrugged and continued to sip the final drops of her soda. They had taken a break in the food court of the mall, which gave Pan time to count the purchases.

"I just don't really need that much today. Besides, I don't really feel the need to try to impress people with what I wear."

"Well Bra, no matter how much you buy, you are still going to impress people with what you have. We don't really need most of this stuff, but we like to have it," Marron piped up, waving her hand to her own purchases. Pan laughed and nodded her head in agreement. Bra smiled too.

"Too true. However, I have enough right now so I think in maybe...two weeks I'll regain my title as 'shopoholic'." Pan cheered and patted Bra on the back.

"Good thing too! Or else I might have become swelled in the head with this important role!" Bra just laughed. "And if I become swell-headed, the entire world could be doomed forever!"

"Pan, sometimes you are too weird for my taste."

"But you love me anyway."

Marron just sat watching the two laughing, Bra being her main focus. She knew that whoever it was Bra was with would most likely be someone special. After all, Marron had seen the same actions from herself when a certain someone came into her life. 'Not caring what others think anymore, not wanting to show off. It proves you know that this guy likes you for who you are. I'm so happy to see you like this Bra.'

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra tossed her pillow up in the air for the seventh time in a row, tired of homework. Like before, the pillow came back down in her hands so she could toss it up again. When she did this, her phone rang. She immediately rolled on her stomach to grab the phone, the pillow coming down on her head. Rubbing her head for a moment, Bra checked the caller I.D. and smiled.

"Hello?"

"Um...hi. This is Bra, right?" Bra laughed at Uub's nervousness.

"Yeah it's me Uub."

"Oh good. I was afraid I might have dialed the wrong number."

"Well, you didn't. What did you want to talk about?"

"When can I see you again?" The question was innocent and sweet, making Bra smile. She paused for a moment, considering the answer.

"How's about Friday after I get out of school? We'll meet in the same usual spot, okay?"

"That works. I'll be waiting."

"Me too. Goodnight, Uub."

"Goodnight."

Bra clicked off her phone and grabbed her pillow from its resting-place on her head. She wasn't sure about Uub, but she knew that to her it seemed a long time until Friday. It was hard for her to wait to see Uub or to feel his soft gentle lips against her own. She sighed in happiness from the memories of Sunday. It had just been so different from all of the other kisses she'd had in the past. Her past boyfriends had usually been rough when they kissed her, hoping they could get laid, which always caused her to shove them away rather easily. Then they would usually wonder how she had gotten so strong so fast.

But Uub was different. There was this certain appeal and kindness about him that had caused Bra to love him so fast. Bra sighed again and squeezed her pillow.

"I think this relationship is going to work out just fine."

Friday. It seemed a bit long to Uub, but the reason was worth the wait. Bra was the most beautiful, smart, wonderful person that Uub had ever met and the fact that she wanted to be with him made him happier than he had ever thought possible. Uub never planned on admitting to Bra that she was his first real girlfriend. Although, sometimes it seemed that Bra could somehow tell that, the way she acted about how shy he was. But he didn't mind. If Bra was his first girlfriend, who really cared? And if Bra ended up being his last girlfriend, that would be the best thing Uub could imagine. He wasn't sure how it could have happened so fast, but he loved her. Everything about her, from her brilliant mind to the way she had pressed her lips against his in the park. Everything.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra awoke too early Friday morning to a large banging on her door. Grumbling, Bra opened the door to be greeted by her mother, who seemed almost in hysterics.

"What are you doing still sleeping?!" Bulma cried franticly. "We've got to get going, remember?" Bra just shook her head, still not quite awake.

"Mama, what are you talking about? Go where?" Bulma calmed down for a moment, nearly frozen.

"Didn't Trunks tell you about the business meeting we have to go to this weekend." Bulma studied Bra's face, not needing a spoken answer. "Guess not. Well, there's no time to waste. Get dressed and pack for the weekend." The moment Bulma mentioned that she would be gone that day woke Bra up instantly.

"What? Mama, I can't go today! I have test at school and plans after school!" Bra stuck out her bottom lip, pleading her mother. Bulma just sighed and began walking out the door.

"Okay, fine. I don't have time to wait for you right now anyway. You can stay this time, as long as you watch over the house to make sure nobody tries to corrupt my company while I'm gone."

Bra sighed as she fell back on her bed, wanting a few more hours of sleep. She had luckily gotten out of going to another horrible business convention with her family, but she was stuck inside the house.

'Damn pride and responsibility. It always makes me do what I'm supposed to.'

In two hours, Bra was woken again, only this time it was by her alarm clock. She slammed it down and headed for the bathroom to begin getting ready for school. Before she left, she made it a point to grab her cell-phone to call Uub during her lunch hour to tell him that plans for the day had changed.

Fellow students roamed around Bra as they scattered to go somewhere better than the school for their lunch break. Bra walked to the back of the school where everybody had left and pulled out her phone. She quickly dialed the numbers she had taken time to memorize that week and waited for an answer. Becoming nervous, Bra began to play with the buttons on her blouse, worrying he didn't have his phone with him. After a few rings, Uub finally picked up.

"Uub? Our plans for today have been a bit altered." Bra could hear the disappointment in Uub's voice when he answered.

"Oh... Well, can I still see you tomorrow?"

"Oh! You can still see me today, it's just we have to me at my house instead of the park."

"You're house? But...what if someone..."

"Don't worry, Uub. Nobody's going to be home. That's why I have to have you come over. I'm baby-sitting the house over the weekend. It'll be fun. Please?"

"Same time as the park?"

"That'll be great! See you there, okay?"

"Okay."

Bra smiled and clicked off her phone. For a moment, she was afraid that Uub wasn't going to agree to come. Checking her watch, Bra realized that most of her lunch period hadn't past. Which gave her enough time to find Pan and have lunch with her.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra didn't have to wait long for Uub to arrive at her door. When she answered his knocking, his eyes were shifting back and forth nervously. Bra grinned and leaned against the door.

"Being followed now, are we?" Her voice had cause Uub to jump a bit, but he relaxed when he realized that it was only her.

"Oh, no. It's just I'm still a bit nervous about coming here. Didn't you tell me that there are cameramen swarming the area?" Bra laughed and shook her head.

"Don't worry about them. The all think I'm with my family on their trip, so nobody's here." Uub smiled and allowed Bra to lead him in the house.

When he stepped inside, his mouth nearly dropped. Just the main room was larger than three of the rooms in his house combined were. Bra noticed the shock in his eyes and smiled again.

"That's most people's reaction. Come on. Take off your shoes and then we can go into the kitchen to get something to eat or something." Uub nodded dumbly still shocked at the size of Bra's home. Uub was almost embarrassed by his reaction, but he couldn't help it. With each hall or room that they passed, Uub began to wonder how they even were able to fit the house in one spot in town.

Bra shifted her eyes around the refrigerator, looking for something to eat. She cried out in victory when she found some celery in the vegetable bin at the bottom. She closed the door and began searching for peanut butter. Uub grimaced as she spread the peanut butter on a stick of celery and began eating it. She noticed and lifted her eyebrow.

"Waf? Is der somfin on my face?" She asked, half a stick of celery still in her mouth.

"I just don't understand how anybody could like peanut butter." Bra giggled and finished eating the piece in her mouth.

"Well, to each his own," she said coolly, shrugging her shoulders. "I mean, I like it, along with other people. And you're allowed to have your different likes, too."

"Like loving you even though you claim that most people you know think you're the worst person in the world?" Bra blushed slightly, not expecting Uub to be able to say something like that. But last time they had seen each other, he had surprised her with their first kiss. To hide her blushing, Bra turned to grab some more celery, but arms around her waist stopped her. She turned around to face her captor, who just stood there grinning. He released on of his arms from her body to grab a napkin. He brought it to her face and wiped something away.

"You can't expect me to kiss you at this cliche moment with peanut butter covering your face," he explained softly, throwing the napkin on the ground. She grinned and touched her nose to his.

"It wasn't covering my entire face."

Uub just shrugged and pulled her closer, their lips meeting quickly. They pulled back for a moment, then kissed again. The second kiss was much stronger than their previous ones, both of them pushing against the other. Neither was quite sure what took over them that moment, but they threw doubt out the window in an instant. Bra sighed when she felt Uub's tongue run against her lips, causing her to push against him harder. Her lips were forced apart and soon Uub found himself moving his tongue all around her mouth, tasting the lingering flavor of peanut butter and Bra herself, which made peanut butter not that bad anymore in Uub's opinion. Bra decided to join in the game and ran her own tongue under Uub's, the contact startling him. Bra smiled and did it again, hoping for the same reaction. To her disappointment, Uub only returned the gesture and pulled his tongue out of her mouth, his lips still locked on. Pulling back for air, Bra gasped slightly and then went back to Uub, who had grasped some air himself. Looking in his eyes, Bra's own eyes held a glimmer of excitement.

"I thought you didn't like peanut butter."

"A lot's changed since I said that."

In an instant, he was pulled to Bra again; She demanded more from him. He could feel the heat in his body rising, noticing how Bra's body was pressed against his own. His hands slid their way up the back of her shirt and ran around her body to her breast, his thumbs rubbing against the soft cotton between their skin. Bra's hands came up and grabbed Uub's wrist; Her almost warning-like touch caused Uub to realize what he was doing. He pulled his hands and his mouth away from Bra and looked rather embarrassed.

"Um.....Oh, wow. I'm sorry, Bra. I don't know what came over me, but I'll leave now if you want." Bra frowned and grabbed Uub's wrist like she had only seconds before.

"Shh, Shh. It's okay Uub. It's okay," she pleaded, placing Uub's hands against her face. She turned her head slightly and kissed his fingers lightly. "You did nothing wrong. I just think," she paused to look at Uub, the same excitement she held inside shining through his eyes too though it was attempting to conceal itself, "It wouldn't be comfortable in the middle of the kitchen."

Before he could protest, Uub was lead down the halls of the Briefs' mansion to a large room that Uub suspected was not Bra's.

"Bra..."

"Nobody will know we where in here. It just makes it more exciting to be in here." His wrist now released Uub's hands found their way to Bra's waist again, ignoring what had happened earlier. Bra smiled and kissed Uub on the nose as lightly as she had his fingers.

"Do you want this to happen, Uub?"

"More than anything else in this world."

"Why?" Bra began inching Uub and herself towards the foot of the bed, enjoying this word game.

"I want to touch every part of your body. I've seen what's on the inside of you, and now curiosity has taken over." Bra was almost shocked by Uub's answer; Lust had begun to over-take him, which caused him to forget himself for a moment. But she still smiled as she sat down on the edge of the bed, shifting herself on her knees so she could crawl backward to let Uub on with her. His hands began stroking her back, sending small shiver though her entire body. Since Uub was pre-occupied, Bra found the hem of Uub's shirt and began to pull it upward, tugging on it slightly so Uub would notice. He instantly took the hint and removed his arms from Bra so she could remove his shirt completely. Tossing the shirt aside, Bra's arms wrapped around Uub's bringing them down before he could begin to touch her again. Bra wanted to have some fun before she gave into his control.

"Bra... you're not being fair..." Uub pleaded, wanting to feel her skin against his fingertips.

Bra placed her lips lightly on Uub's, hushing him for the moment. He reached behind her head to bring her to him stronger, bringing an inward smile to Bra.

Uub didn't even notice what Bra was doing until the sound of the zipper from his pants could be heard as she undid them. Playing at equal rounds, Uub slid his hands down Bra's neck down to the top button of her shirt. He calmly undid each one until he was forced to pull Bra away from what she was doing so she could pull her arms from the sleeves. Her shirt fell from her back onto her feet. Bra instantly kicked it away and moved her hands back between Uub's legs. She pulled his pants away with ease and did the same with his underwear and anything else he was wearing, her own panties becoming wet with her excitement. Uub moaned in pleasure as he felt long, delicate fingers began stroking him gently; it erected instantly, craving Bra's touch. His mind clouded, it took Uub some extra effort to find the clip to his lover's bra. He began fumbling with the clip, not being able to see it.

"Take you're time, Uub. We're in no rush," Bra whispered, deciding not to help Uub complete his task. He could do it himself, and besides, she had begun to stroke rougher, her fingers pushing against his flesh. Uub finally undid the clasp, another soft sound escaping his throat as Bra continued stroking. She began rubbing her open mouth lightly over his penis; her hands now busy removing her bra. Her pale white breast bounced a little from the sudden release, beckoning Uub to them. Snaking his hands around to the front of Bra, Uub gently pushed Bra down against the soft covers of the bed, his own body covering hers, the heat rising in their bodies. He lay his head next to hers, whispering to her gently as his hands ran through her lavender hair.

"I've never done this before, Bra..."

"Neither have I Uub." She confessed.

"Why me, Bra? Out of hundreds of guys in this world, why me?" His voice was wavering, nearly overtaken. Bra just planted a light kiss on Uub's nose, feeling rather playful.

"I trust you. And I love you."

Uub responded to her confession with a heavy kiss on her lips, lifting his head from it's resting spot. His lips drifted to the beginning of Bra's neck, Uub absorbing the taste of her soft flesh. He found his way in between her breast quickly. He tore his hands from Bra's hair and placed them gently over them, his thumbs rubbing against her nipples like earlier, only this time there was no cotton barrier. Bra moaned at his strong touch, her nipples hardening within a few moments. Uub moved his left hand away from the breast it was currently resting on and put his mouth in the now lonely place. Bra groaned loudly as Uub began to suck gently on her breast, craving her taste again. His left hand wandered down until it found the snap to Bra's pants, which it immediately undid and moved along to the zipper. Bra kicked off her pants and socks, still under Uub's current control. His other hand moved down to help pull Bra's panties away from her body. Bra whimpered in ecstasy as Uub's mouth found it's way to her other breast, nipping at her flesh gently. Uub flicked Bra's nipple one more time with his tongue before he pulled his mouth away and headed for the lower part of Bra's perfect body.

Bra screamed silently as Uub's fingers began massaging the sensitive spot between her legs, his fingers becoming damp as the inched close to her entrance. She began rocking her body to rub herself against Uub's hands harder than he was doing himself. Uub pulled his hands away from their current position, his mouth replacing them. His lips traced the outline of her entrance, his mind racing, as he wanted to explore further. Planting a small kiss above the entrance, Uub moved his head back up, gentle kisses marking his trail. Bra became transfixed on every touch on her body, muttering Uub's name quietly. She gasped when she felt Uub's mouth on her neck, his hips straddling her own so she couldn't get away from him.

Uub nibbled on Bra's earlobe for a moment, regaining his voice. He moved his mouth to Bra's temple, whispering a barely audible question.

"Can I enter you?"

His hands had found their way long ago to Bra's, their fingers intertwining. Bra squeezed Uub's hands gently, as if to answer. He had sounded so shaky and almost afraid as though it was a golden privilege. But, Bra realized, in a way, it was, especially for Uub.

Her legs spread themselves, awaiting Uub to move in. He positioned himself, his movements a bit nervous. Bra moaned loudly again, pleasure filling her voice as she felt Uub beginning to enter her. Before long though, Bra felt a twinge of pain run through her body, causing her to unwillingly whimper in discomfort. Uub immediately froze, fearful of what he had done.

"Bra...If you want to stop now, I'll understand."

Shaking her head, Bra wrapped her legs around Uub and pulled down hard, forcing Uub inside her completely. Her face twisted into one of pain for a moment, but relaxed quickly. Bra opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Uub looking at her, shocked by what she had done.

"Don't stop now, Uub," she commanded sternly, her voice still soft. Her legs released him, falling softly back onto the bed. Uub's face softened too and he kissed her again.

"If this is what you want."

Bra felt Uub pull out of her, thrusting himself back inside with a bit more confidence. Uub moved around in side her for a moment, feeling Bra pulsate around him. Her muscles tightened around him, a large groan escaping his throat. He pulled out halfway and thrust again, each time becoming harder and faster. Bra made a small panting noise each time it happened, her body taking over and pulling Uub deeper inside her.

"Harder, Uub... please," Bra begged franticly, the force of his body causing her body to ache for more. "Oh... god... keep going." Uub obliged to her wish immediately, his body moving hard with a sudden spurt of momentum.

No longer able to contain himself, Uub thrust in once more, stronger than anytime before. The feeling of his fluids leaving his body into Bra's made him lose any control he had left; He dug himself as deep as he could, screaming Bra's name in desire.

"Bra! Oh god, Bra... Bra..." Their hands began squeezing each other, Bra's nails creating grooves in Uub's skin.

Bra began helping Uub dig deeper, her voice chanting his name over again. Her body had started shaking all over, the orgasm hitting full force. Tilting her head back, Bra let out the final scream as the orgasms took reached its peak and ending abruptly.

They lay there in for a moment, their chest heaving against each other. Uub pressed his body against Bra's lightly, his penis, no longer erected, still inside her. Bra released her hands from Uub's and grabbed the sides of his face, pulling him down to kiss him gently like their first kiss in the park. They kissed again, still breathing heavy. In between kisses, Bra spoke in a quiet tone, her voice heavy.

"Thank you, Uub."

"For what?"

"For treating me like an normal girl and not something special." Uub smiled and turned to look at out the window for the first time, noticing also for the first time how dark the room appeared even though it was still light out. The dull light from the sun leaking through the tightly closed curtains fell directly on Bra, the thin layer of sweat covering her body giving the illusion that she was glowing.

"But you being a normal girl is what makes you special to me."

He wrapped his arms around her body just below her arms and leaned on his side, pulling her closer. They kissed one more time, closing their eyes to wait for sleep to take them.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra woke up after what had only seemed like minutes since Uub had wrapped his arms around her and fallen asleep soon after. Looking at the clock, she realized it had been a few hours since then. She sighed and pulled gently away from Uub, who was still sleeping heavily. Searching for the lamp that was usually next to the bed, she heard Uub mutter something in his sleep. She just smiled and clicked on the light, flooding the room. Bra looked over her shoulder at Uub, thinking about how cute he looked sleeping. She stood up and started searching for her clothes. Looking over the bed, Bra noticed a small bloodstain from when she and Uub had taken each other's virginity.

'I'll clean it up later,' she thought calmly, grabbing one of her socks. When she was fully dressed, Bra lightly nudged Uub, feeling almost guilty about waking him. He stirred for a moment in protest, but finally gave in. He opened his eyes slowly, allowing them to adjust to the light. Turning to face Bra, he was met with a shirt thrown in his face. Bra laughed as he pulled it off and kissed him quickly when his lips were exposed.

"Come on. If you get dressed quickly, I think we can still catch a horror movie marathon that's supposed to be one tonight," she explained quickly, jumping off the bed. Uub just shook his head and pulled his shirt on while Bra began handing him more of his clothes.

"How long have we been sleeping?" Bra checked the clock again.

"About... six hours." Uub just nodded his head, a thoughtful expression appearing as he finished dressing himself.

"Six hours... my, my."

"My, my is correct." Came a third voice in the room. The voice was all too familiar to Bra. Both her and Uub turned their heads to face who-ever was speaking to them. Though it had been ten years since they had seen each other, Uub immediately recognized the person standing before them, knowing this could not end well.

Trunks shook his head and turned his main attention to Bra, his expression not a happy one. "Bra, what are you doing in our parent's room? And with this guy." His hand shot out to point at Uub, even though he didn't need to.

"I, um, well," Bra stuttered, "Well, what are you doing in our parent's room when you're supposed to be with them out of town?" Trunks didn't answer. Instead he walked over to both of them, and grabbed each of their wrists.

"I'll explain first. You two, however, get to explain now."

Trunks paced back and forth through the living room, Bra and Uub sitting quietly on the couch as far apart as possible. Trunks had made sure of that.

"So, let me get this straight. A few weeks ago, you Bra met up with Uub in some small little shop that barely anybody in our part of town has even heard of. Then, you and Uub somehow get into a relationship and then, when mother decided to let you stay home, you invited Uub over and you had sex in our parent's room. Is this right?"

"Basically. But we didn't plan on doing it. It just happened," Bra insisted. Trunks just nodded. Turning to Uub, Trunks' eyes narrowed a bit.

"How old are you now Uub? I don't remember your age from last I saw you."

"I'm...I'm 20 years old, Trunks." Trunks looked at the ground and cursed. He didn't turn back to face them, not wishing to speak to them directly.

"Great. Now we've got a damned felony on our hands. Terrific." Bra sneered and jumped up from her spot on the couch.

"It's not a fucking felony, Trunks! I'll be 17 in just a few months! And it's only a felony if somebody finds out about it." Trunks looked up, the same fearful stare he held staring back at him through the blue-violet eyes of his sister. "And nobody is going to find out. I personally don't care. But you obviously do, most likely because you don't want the public to find out so the company will be ruined." Trunks nodded, agreeing with her suspicions.

"It's a felony to me because I know. But you're right. I can't risk ruining the company. I won't tell anybody, not even our parents." Without looking up, Trunks pointed his finger at Uub. "You. I think it's time you went home now," his finger shifted to Bra, "And you are coming back with me." They both nodded, Uub standing up. Looking at Trunks, Uub pleaded with his eyes that Trunks leave the room for a moment. Trunks obliged and stepped out holding up three fingers to indicate how much time they had left. "I'll be in Mama's room, getting what I originally went in there for. And I'll pack some of your things, okay Bra?" Bra nodded and watched him leave.

When Trunks was out of hearing range, Bra turned to face Uub, not really sure what she could possibly say to him.

"I'm so sorry, Uub. If I had known, then maybe we could have stopped and this wouldn't have happened." Uub, in spite of himself, smiled and kissed Bra on the cheek.

"Don't worry about it, Bra. I don't regret anything we did today. Or who caught us. I'm just glad I was able to be with you tonight. Do you regret anything Bra?" Bra sniffled, trying not to start crying.

"Only that I left the celery out, so it's probably brown by now." They both forced out a small laugh. "Trunks is right though. You should go home now. It's dark out and I don't want your little sister getting too worried about you. I'll try to call you during my trip, okay?"

"Okay. I'll be waiting patiently to see you again, Bra." Bra sighed and kissed Uub for the last time that night, hugging him tightly.

"I love you Uub."

A quiet knocking came from behind, indicating that it was time for everybody to leave. Bra released Uub and turned to walk towards her brother, Uub following close behind. They put their shoes on and walked out of the door, Trunks locking the door behind them.

"It was nice seeing you again, Uub." Trunks admitted, smiling for the first time since he had arrived. "I wish it could have been under more normal circumstances."

Uub just nodded. He is attention was on Bra. She turned to look at him before sliding into the passenger's seat of Trunks' car. Trunks got into the car himself and started the engine. As they drove away, Bra waved good-bye to Uub, who did the same before turning in the opposite direction to get home. It had suddenly grown quite cold out.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Trunks sighed at the bare road in front of him, the length of it and the silence was getting to him. He turned to look at his sister, who was staring at one her books, pretending to read it.

"I'm not upset at you Bra. I just want you to know that." Bra closed the book and threw it in the back seat with her famous bag that Trunks had been nice enough to grab.

"I know that, Trunks. I'm just wondering why you even showed up at the house anyway."

"Mama forgot something important for her meeting, so she sent me back home as the messenger boy to get it. It was coincidence that it had been left in her room. If it hadn't, I wouldn't have even realized you were awake, let alone with Uub." Bra just snorted. "Why did you even go in their room instead of your own?" Bra shrugged.

"Heat of the moment I guess." She paused for a moment, considering the situation. "I guess I can be thankful it was you and not Papa." Trunks laughed.

"If it had been him, I don't think Uub would still be alive." Bra tried to stop herself from laughing, but Trunks was right. If it had been Vejiita, Uub would not have gotten out of that house as easily as he had.

Bra felt someone poking her in the arm roughly, making her arm swing out to hit whoever was doing it. Her wrist was grabbed and thrown back over her lap. Grumbling, Bra opened her eyes to realize that the car was stopped.

"Wake up, Bra. We're here now." Bra just grumbled and got out of the car, grabbing her capsules to carry inside with her.

"What are you going to tell Mama and Papa when they ask why I came with you." Trunks shrugged and locked his car.

"Not sure yet. Probably that you changed your mind about coming and that since it was late, you didn't have any test or plans for the rest of the weekend."

"You knew those were my excuses?"

"I was complaining about how you got to stay home, so Mama explained to me why you had done so."

Bra just laughed and walked in the hotel. She was fine now. Her parents would never find out about Uub, so there would be no bloodshed and she would be able to see Uub again the first chance she could.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

The Briefs returned home near midnight Sunday night, the meeting having dragged on longer than predicted. Practically flying out of the car, Bra ignored the heavy rain that had appeared over the weekend and reached the front door of her home first, wanting to get inside as fast as she could. She still had some homework to be done before the next day, plus she needed to call Uub as soon as it was a decent hour to plan when they could next see each other. It was probably going to be on another Friday, only this time they would meet in a more public spot.

'Though, a private spot wasn't so bad,' Bra thought dreamily, remembering the afternoon spent in Uub's arms. The memories were still fresh in her mind and she waited for the day when they could be together like that again. She walked immediately to the kitchen, only to find the celery was still out. Sighing, Bra threw it into the trash, not really caring much. Her parents didn't need to see it out and wonder why it had been left out. Speaking of her parents, they had believed Trunks' story instantly, with only a few questions from Vejiita. So Bra was in the clear and the company wouldn't be ruined. Bra slid across the kitchen to grab the phone hanging there, since her cell-phone was in her bag by the door. Before she could dial Uub's number, she heard her mother call for her. And she didn't sound happy.

Bra ran as fast as she could to her parent's room; her mother had made it sound as though it was a matter of urgency. The moment she ran in, she stopped dead, and realizing what was going to be said, she did the first thing that came to her mind. She stood there dumbly, waiting for her parents to say the first word.

"Bra, do you wish to explain what this little bloodstain is from?" Bulma asked calmly, which always meant she was ready to explode. Bra looked at where her mother was pointing and gasped. In her rush to leave Friday night, she had forgotten about the bloodstain on the bed completely. So there it was, sticking out from where it lay. Bulma turned to Vejiita, who just simply shook head, not needing to say anything. Bulma grabbed Bra's wrist and dragged her out of the room, Vejiita close behind. When the trio passed by Trunks, Bra shot him a glance that screamed for him to help her even though they both knew there was nothing he could do.

They reached the living room and Bulma released Bra harshly, causing her to land on the couch.

'This seems disturbingly familiar.' Bra thought back to when Trunks had confronted her in the very room she had been dragged into now. She looked up at her parents, fearing what was about to happen. Vejiita spoke first, as calm as he could be.

"Who was here with you, Bra?" Bra attempted to act like she didn't know what he meant, hoping it would work.

"What do you mean, Papa? I was alone the entire time I was home." Bulma glared down at Bra, warning her to stop talking.

"Don't even try, Bra Briefs. I know what kind of bloodstain this is. And unless you can prove otherwise, I'm going to continue believing that not only did you have sex in this household, but, for some reason that only Kami knows, you also decided to do it in mine and your father's room!" Bra glared back at her mother, not liking how this conversation was going.

"I don't see why you seem to care so much! I know about you and Papa before you were married. My brother's a bastard, for god's sake!"

"We were legal adults, Bra. You, however, are still a minor, along with whoever it was you did it with."

"He's not a fucking minor! He's a kind young man with a loving heart and a gentle touch! Not some fucking high-school boy who thinks about getting laid every second for four years." Bra yelled, wishing instantly that she hadn't. Both her parent's eyes widened at the newest information from their daughter. Vejiita pushed Bulma to the side, taking over the conversation.

"You let a strange adult into this household and then let him fuck you!!" He practically screamed. Bra reared back, tears welling in her eyes.

"That's not true, Papa..."

He ignored her and continued. "I don't care who this man is, but you are to never to see him again! I don't care how much physical pleasure he gave you that night or the things he said about loving you. I've heard of this kind of thing before, but I never thought a daughter of mine would be stupid to fall for the lies of caring just he could use you and get into your pants." Before he could continue, Vejiita's head was snapped back as Bra's hand came up hard against his cheek. He turned to face her again, a small cut from where she had hit him. He touched his hand to it and realized that Bra had made him bleed. She was now standing up, her entire body shaking with fury. Her hands were clenched in fist, not wanting to slap her father again. She looked up at him, her eyes holding a strong rage inside.

"That's not true! He isn't some strange man that I met only a few days ago. Neither of us really knows when we began to feel something for the other, but it happened! I love him more that anything else in this fucking world that has treated me like shit until he came along! And I did not let him fuck me! We made love that evening and it was the most wonderful feeling I've ever experienced in my entire 16 years of life! Not just physically, as you like to put it father," she spat the last word as though it was a word of sin, "But emotionally too! It was beautiful and his touch let me know that he wanted to be with me, not the richest girl in the world, not the girl with the two-million-dollar figure, but me! Simple, normal, Bra Briefs!" She stopped shouting, blood beginning to drip from her hands. She began to walk out of the room, neither parent trying to stop her. Before she exited the room, she turned around to say her final words.

"I hate you, Papa."

Bra headed for her bag, wanting to put in her room. She grimaced when she heard the familiar footsteps of her mother close behind her.

"Bra! You do not speak to your father or myself like you just did!" Bulma's voice was harsh, but it was nothing like the way Vejiita's words had pierced through Bra's heart. She avoided her mother's glance, picking up her bag.

"But he can speak to me like that, even though he knows nothing of what happened."

"You should have known it was going to happen, so over all, you were in the wrong." Bra stopped walking down the hall, not believing what her mother was saying. Her fault? Vejiita's harsh words were her fault? Not even realizing what she was doing, Bra reached inside her bag and grabbed the first thing to come to her hand. She turned on her heels to face Bulma, her arm beginning to recoil to throw the object in her hand. But instead, Bra simply crushed her cell-phone and threw it to the ground.

"I'm sorry, Mama. But I don't regret anything I did. And neither you or Papa can make me change what's in my mind and heart." This having been said, Bra turned again and ran straight for her room.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra searched through the capsules still in her pocket from her weekend trip, looking to see if she should add anything to what she already had. She decided to pack a few more clothes and a few other items that Trunks hadn't thought of Friday. She threw the capsules into her bag and added in her homework, knowing she would get to it later like always. Giving her room one last look, Bra noticed an old stuffed bear that had been given to her from her parents when she had been four years old. Smiling, Bra picked it up affectionately and placed it in her bag with everything else. Before closing it, Bra took one last look at the bear.

"Don't worry. We won't be gone forever. I just can't be here for awhile. It doesn't feel right."

Bra landed with a small thump onto the ground, her usual balance having been thrown off by her bag. She didn't notice the rain immediately; She was running too quickly to care. After what seemed like only a few seconds, Bra found herself at her park. Their park. It was at that moment that Bra realized how cold she was. She looked at herself and realized she was soaked all over. But she didn't care. She just shook off her senses and turned the way Uub always did when he began to go home. She walked for a little while, until it dawned on her.

How would she find Uub's house?

She hadn't considered it before, but now, Bra realized that she didn't have a single clue to the whereabouts of his house was. She was ready to turn around back into the main part of town to find a payphone. But as she studied her surroundings, she realized that she knew where she was then. Almost smiling, Bra switched her direction and headed for the one person who would know where Uub was.

"Goku!!" Bra called out as she rapped on the door of the Son residence. "I need your help! Please! This is important!"

Finally, the door opened, an extremely tired Goku in the doorframe. Behind him, Bra could see Chichi appear from their room, just as confused and tired as Goku was.

"Who would possibly be at the door at this hour?" Chichi complained, walking next to Goku.

"It's just Bra." Goku paused. "Bra, what are you doing here? And in this weather at midnight?"

"I need to know something, Goku. And you're the only person who can answer my question. It's of great importance." Chichi laughed and walked back into her room, mumbling something about how her husband was always saving somebody. Bra ignored her and asked her question before Goku fell asleep right there.

"I need directions to Uub's house. Can you give me those directions."

Bra looked at the sheet of paper that Goku had scribbled out for her, his handwriting barely readable from his grogginess. The fact that the paper was soaked completely didn't help much either, but Bra had memorized most of it when it had still been dry. Looking ahead, Bra didn't see anything until a bolt of lightning lit up the sky, showing off a small house only about 50 meters away. Bra was about to run to the door, but then she remembered that Uub now had his own home not far from this house. But Goku wouldn't have known that if it had been ten years since he had last seen him. Bra began searching around the area until she found what she was looking for.

She knocked several times on the door, hoping he would hear them. The door creaked open, Uub appearing in front of Bra. He looked at the figure before him, hair matted with rain and body shivering from the cold.

"Bra? My god, what are you doing here?" Bra just sniffled from the cold and walked up to him.

"I would have called you, but my cell-phone broke." She sniffled again and burst into tears, latching onto Uub in an instant. All the anger and sadness she had been holding in finally had burst with the joy of being with Uub again. Uub ran his hand up and down her back in attempts to calm her. She continued crying, with occasional noises that had been intended to be words.

"Shh. It'll be okay now Bra. I'm here now, okay?" He lifted her chin up to look into her eyes, which were tear-stained and puffy. "Come inside. I'll help you get cleaned up." Bra nodded and allowed Uub to lead her inside the small house.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra peeled her clothes off one piece at a time and handed them to Uub who immediately threw them in the dryer.

"I thought you said you couldn't afford such things like a dryer." Uub laughed and turned the knob to start it.

"I said I couldn't afford a cell-phone. I only buy the necessities of life, a washer and dryer being some of them."

"Oh. I suppose you're right." Bra looked around the small room, as she had done with all the rooms they had passed. This room was in the very back of the house. Even though she was completely naked, Bra felt much warmer than she had with her wet clothes on. Uub noticed a small smile creeping on her face, though she was still shivering.

"Do you want to take a quick shower or something to warm you up?" Uub asked politely. Bra shook her head.

"No. I'll just put on my pajamas and I'll be fine." She reached for her bag and pulled out her capsules, searching for the right one. Her face fell when she did. "Oh damn. There's a crack in it. That must have happened when I jumped out of my window. Now my pjs are wet." Uub came up behind her and inspected the small capsule in her hand.

"Do you want me to dry them when your other clothes are done?" Bra shook her head.

"No. It'll take up too much time. I think I'll take your suggestion of a quick shower, so that this load of clothes can finish drying. I'll just sleep in my underwear. It's comfortable enough." Smiling, Uub planted a small kiss on Bra's cheek.

"Okay. I'll be right here if you need anything. You saw where the bathroom was, right?" Bra nodded and walked towards the door, stopping only to grab something else from her bag. She pulled out the old bear and tossed it into Uub's hands.

"He's made up of the same material the rest of my clothes are. Do you think you could dry him up a bit too?"

"Sure."

Bra turned the faucet handle of the shower, the warm water falling on her body instantly. She smiled and moved her body around so the water could get to every inch of her body. The coldness of her body melted away and soon, Bra was out of the shower as quickly as she had gone in. She dried herself off with a towel and hung it back up so it could dry. Taking one small glance in the mirror, Bra realized that her eyes were still puffy and the rest of her looked like shit.

'Probably the stress.'

She was about to walk out of the bathroom into the back room when she heard some talking near the door. Peaking out, Bra saw Uub with a small child, who looked greatly like he did except her hair was long and pulled back. The child was in his arms; He was talking to her in his usual soft tone.

"Now, Arba, someone very special to me is going to be visiting us for a little while, so I'm afraid you're going to have to sleep on the couch for the rest of the night." The little girl nodded her head, her eyes sleepy.

"Okay, Uub-niisan. I'll sleep on the couch for your special person." Uub smiled and put the child down.

"That's a good kid. Goodnight." She smiled and ran into another room, Uub watching her go. Bra decided it was a good time to exit the bathroom now. Uub looked in her direction and smiled.

"Your clothes are done. Same with your bear." Bra nodded as a thank you. Before going to get her things, Bra decided to end her simple questions.

"Who was that little girl? Was she the little sister you're always talking about." Uub beamed.

"The one and only. Her name's Arba, in case you didn't catch that. She's a great little five-year-old. She was over here earlier and I didn't want her going back home when the storm hit," he explained, knowing that's what Bra was wondering the most. He turned his head and pointed to the room he was standing in front of. "This is the guest bedroom, where you'll be sleeping. If you need anything, I'm just a door down." Bra notice something in his expression when he said this that wasn't' quite readable, but it was gone in an instant.

"Thank you Uub."

Bra lay in her bed, her old bear held tightly against her chest. Despite the comfort she felt with the bed and bear, Bra couldn't seem to fall asleep. After what seemed like forever of nothingness, Bra heard her door creak open. Expecting Uub, Bra was surprised to see a little figure climb up on the bed, large dark eyes staring at her.

"So you're Uub's special person. What's your name?"

"Bra Briefs." Arba began to giggle uncontrollably.

"Bra Briefs? That's a funny name!" Bra smiled at the little girl, who was obviously one of those children who didn't care what she said. She finally stopped giggling and noticed Bra's old bear.

"Is that yours?" Bra nodded. "I thought older people like you couldn't sleep with dolls."

"Well, that's not true. Sometimes everybody needs some sort of comfort item to help them sleep." Arba nodded, acting like she understood. "Oh. Does he work for you?" Bra frowned and looked down at the bear.

"Not tonight." She looked up at the small child, who looked a bit sad for Bra. "Come here, Arba." Bra stuck her hand out for the girl to grab, which she did, allowing Bra to pull her close. "Do you want to try him out for a little while?" Arba nodded happily and snatched the doll from Bra's outstretched hand.

"Thanks Bra! Maybe I can figure out what's..." she paused to yawn loudly, "... wrong with him, since he's not working for... you." Arba's eyelids began to drop, giving Bra the hint she needed. She moved out from under the covers and tucked Arba in as she fell asleep, the way her mother had done when Bra had been five.

"Goodnight, Arba."

Uub lifted his head as he noticed the door open, Bra walking inside. She closed the door behind her and climbed onto Uub's bed. He opened his mouth to say something, but Bra placed her finger against his top lip to push it down to connect with the bottom one again, hushing him.

"This may sound like an odd request, but I want you to take off your shirt." Not bothering with questions, Uub did as she asked, making her smile. "Thank you Uub. I just want to be able to feel you and not some man-made shirt against me tonight. I have to make sure it's not a dream."

Getting under the covers, Bra wrapped her arms around Uub, resting her head on his chest. Uub just sighed happily and put his arm around her shoulder to reassure her that he was there.

"Don't worry Bra. I wouldn't even consider trying to trick you with a dream." Bra smiled and instantly fell asleep, Uub soon following her example.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Arba woke up suddenly, as though she had some urgent business to attend to that day. Shaking off the feeling, the little girl looked down at the old bear and frowned.

"Why didn’t you work for Uub’s special person?" she asked the small bear, which only stared at her with dark glass eyes. Shrugging, Arba picked up the doll and jumped off the bed, to try to find where Bra had gone.

After searching every room Arba decided that Bra must have gone in Uub’s room the night before. Peeking inside, Arba saw she was right in deciding this. Bra lay next to Uub, their arms wrapped around each other. Both were sleeping peacefully, with traces of smiles on their faces. Arba giggled and closed the door. Heading back to the guest bedroom, Arba looked at the teddy bear still in her hands and patted its head.

"I know why you didn’t work for Bra now. She needs a different comfort item now."

Bra stirred slightly, thinking she had heard somebody begin to giggle. She opened her eyes slightly, forgetting for a moment where she was laying. Looking at what she was holding, Bra remembered and smiled. She would let Uub sleep for a little while longer. He had earned it after he had helped her the night before.

Standing up, Bra decided that she needed to look through her things to make sure none of her other items had been soaked from the night before. It was still raining outside, but it didn’t look as bad as it had been when she had been running through it. She headed for the back room, where she seen everything of hers the night before. Beginning to search through her bag, Bra sat atop of the washing machine, the floor a bit cold.

"Well, I don’t think anything else got wet besides the bag itself." Bra decided, having gone through everything. She was glad that her CD player had been wrapped up with a towel during her trip, so it wouldn’t get damaged when she had to walk around in the crowded substation. She neatly put her things away except some clothes so she wouldn’t have to walk around in her underwear the entire day.

When Bra pulled her shirt on, she saw Uub enter the room, leaning against the doorframe, fully dressed as well. She walked over to him and pecked him on the cheek. He returned the gesture and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her nose.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" He asked politely, still concerned for her from the way she had been when she had first arrived. Bra nodded.

"Just fine. Had a little trouble falling asleep when I was alone, but I finally was able to relax." Uub released her and began walking out of the room with Bra close behind.

"What happened to you last night? It must have been awful whatever it was." Bra nodded sadly, tangling her arm around his and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Mama and Papa found out. They were accusing you of practically raping me because they knew you were an adult and not a minor like me." Tears began welling in Bra’s eyes, but she just wiped them away. "They were going to stop me from ever seeing you again just because they thought we had done something wrong. But they were wrong, weren’t they?" Uub mumbled in agreement, his arm around her waist.

"I don’t feel as though it was wrong. We did it for love, and that should never be something wrong." Uub ran his hand up and down her shoulder, making her smile. "You don’t need to worry about them for now. It doesn’t matter what they think as long as we feel as though it was right."

"I know. And it was right. It was the most beautiful thing in the world when we made love." Uub shook his head.

"No. It was the most wonderful, fulfilling thing in the world. The most beautiful thing in this world, I think, is you." Bra blushed at the compliment. She stopped walking for a moment, moving her body to pin Uub to the wall. She kissed him lightly and put her arms around his neck.

"What was going through your mind every time I touched you that day?"

"I wanted more. Every touch was like throwing gasoline on a fire, just making the craving for you bigger."

"Did the wanting ever stop?"

"In a way. I now have you, but there’s still something I crave from you. I don’t know what, but I’m sure I’ll find out someday." Bra laughed as Uub asked a question of his own. "What was going through you mind?"

"I knew that what you wanted was me, not my riches, fame or anything else that can be lost in an instant. You wanted me, which will be forever. Just the light touch from your lips on mine was enough to tell me that."

They inched away from the wall, heading for Uub’s room, the excitement in their eyes again. About to close the door, they both heard a small voice call out rather loudly.

"Breakfast is ready it you’re hungry!"

Uub began chuckling lightly, Bra starting herself.

"Guess we forgot about her," Uub admitted through chuckles. Bra nodded.

"Yeah. I guess we did. Want to go get something to eat?"

They just both shook their heads in amazement at the ironic timing and headed for the kitchen.

"Does she know how to cook?" Bra asked before entering the kitchen. Uub just shrugged.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Arba sat down at the table herself when she had served Uub and Bra.

"When did you learn to cook, Arba?" Bra asked sweetly. She was amazed at the little girl. Arba just laughed.

"Mama’s been teaching me for a while now." She lifted up the teddy bear and plopped him on the table. "He helped me sleep, Bra. Just like you said he would. And I figured out why he wasn’t working for you. Uub-niisan is your comfort item now." Uub glanced at Bra, his expression asking what she was talking about. Bra laughed and patted the little girl on the head.

"I guess he is. I fell asleep instantly."

"And that’s what comfort items do, right? They help you sleep." Arba uttered happily, proud she had learned so much. Bra nodded and turned to Uub, who just smiled and went back to eating, now having a better understanding of what they were talking about. Arba looked back and forth from her brother and Bra and gasped.

"Hey! I know what’s going on here!" Bra and Uub turned to look at her, eyes wide with confusion. "You two are those kind of people who hold hands and kiss, aren’t you?" Uub laughed.

"Yes, Arba. We’re the kind of people who hold hands and kiss." Arba stuck out her tongue and grimaced, causing Uub to laugh again. To change the subject, Bra went to the previous one.

"You know, I never learned how to cook until I was about 10 years old. And even then, my mother didn’t teach me. My grandmother did." Arba looked shocked.

"Your mama didn’t teach you? What’s the world coming to?" Bra laughed.

"My mama care barely cook herself, so it would have been a wasted effort." Arba laughed, not believing that a mother couldn’t cook. Bra just sighed and looked out the window. ‘I wonder if they realize I’m gone yet.’

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Trunks looked over his personal letter over again, making sure he hadn’t missed anything the night before. Bra had given him instructions of what to do, but he wasn’t sure if he could. He was to make sure that neither Bulma nor Vejiita found out who Uub was, for fear they might try to track her down. He was also to call Pan and tell her to ask her grandfather where Uub had lived, then move about 200 yards in a circle until she came up to a house in the woods. There she could find Bra to do what Bra would had asked of her.

‘She wrote this rather quickly. Her handwriting is awful,’ Trunks noticed, knowing his sister was never that sloppy. Shrugging, he picked up his phone and checked the time, making sure Pan would be home by then. The phone rang a few times until one of Pan’s family members picked it up.

"Hello?"

"May I speak to Pan, please?"

"This is her. Who’s this?"

"Trunks Briefs. I need you to do something for Bra…"

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

"The rain’s letting up, Arba. I think you should be heading home." Arba frowned and jumped from Bra’s lap.

"Okay, Uub-niisan. I’ll go. Mama’s probably wondering where I am anyway." She turned to Bra and pointed to the bear. "Can I keep him for a little while, Bra? I’ll take good care of him. Please?" Bra picked up the bear from the table and stretched out her hand to the child.

"I’d better get him back soon, okay?" Arba nodded vigorously and snatched the bear from Bra’s hands. She ran out the door, screaming thank yous to Bra until she was gone.

"She’s such a cute kid" Bra sighed. She looked over at Uub, who was watching his sister run the familiar path to her own home. The drops left on the window were reflecting on Uub’s face, giving a strange affect on it.

Uub placed his hands over Bra’s when he felt her enclose his waist in her arms.

"Do you think we’ll have a child someday, Uub?" Bra asked innocently, her head relaxed on his back. Uub lifted his shoulders, not quite paying attention.

"I don’t know. Maybe someday we will."

"I like that idea." Uub smiled at her answer and moved his hands away from their previous spot to reach behind his back to grab Bra and pull her to where he could look at her.

"Are we going to have any more interruptions today?" Bra giggled and looked at her watch. If she had been at school that day, she would have been out for two hours.

"Actually, we should be getting one more real soon." Uub’s eyebrow went up in a questioning manner.

"How soon?"

"Real soon." Uub cursed lightly underneath his breath, stealing a kiss from Bra before releasing her. Bra looked out the window and smiled. She walked out of the kitchen and to the front door, opening it quickly. She stuck her head out and began to wave madly. Pan looked over at the person waving and waved back.

"Bra! There you are!" She called out, running towards her friend. When she got there, the girls exchanged a quick hug. "Damn, Bra. You certainly got yourself in trouble. From what Trunks told me, you and your parents caused quite a scene last night." Bra scowled.

"I don’t want to talk about that, Pan. Did you get what I asked for?" Pan nodded and took off her backpack. She undid the zipper and pulled out a large school binder. Dusting it off, Pan handed it to Bra.

"There you go. An entire week’s worth of homework." Bra accepted the binder and hugged Pan again, tighter this time. Pan noticed a small tear come from Bra’s eye.

"Thank you, Pan. I don’t know what I’d do without you."

"You’d probably fail all your classes from being absent for an entire month. I’ll see you next week with more homework, okay? I got to get home. It’s starting to get dark." Bra let Pan go and nodded.

"Thank you again, Pan." Pan held up her thumb and smiled.

"No prob. Have fun on your ‘vacation’, okay?"

"Okay."

Pan waved goodbye and flew away, flying being much faster than walking.

Bra closed the door and locked it, dropping her homework on the floor.

‘I’ll get to it later.’

Turning to her right, Bra now stood in the doorway of Uub’s kitchen, Uub turning his head to face her. Bra grinned and beckoned Uub to where she was standing with her index finger. He did as he was meant to and grabbed her the moment he was close enough. Bra reached behind his head and tilted it so his ear was closest to her mouth.

"I don’t think we’ll have any more distractions," she whispered seductively, walking backwards to Uub’s room.

"Good. We need to make up for the lonely weekend." Bra agreed, kissing him passionately as they walked into the desired room. She released Uub and began pulling her shirt over her head, exposing her stomach. Uub began to unbutton his own shirt, but Bra placed her hands over his, stopping him.

"No, no, Uub. I get to do that." His hands still in her grasp, Bra rotated their positions in the room so she now faced the bed and pushed Uub onto his bed gently. Uub sat up and crawled backwards, giving Bra room. Bra smiled and ran her hand across his cheek, getting his attention. His eyes followed her hand as it pulled back and was placed on Bra’s now bare stomach She began rubbing herself in small circles, her hand slowly sliding down to the clasp on her pants, which she undid slowly, the zipper following.

"Stop teasing me, Bra." Uub whined as Bra began pushing her pants to her ankles. She just laughed and climbed on the bed, kicking her pants off as she did.

"But there would be no fun in letting you have your way immediately. I’m just repaying you for being so good to me." She crawled over Uub’s body, kissing him deeply when she reached his lips. Her tongue ran across his lips as her fingers found the top button of his shirt. It became undone immediately, followed by the rest of them. Bra pulled away from Uub’s mouth and opened up his shirt, placing her mouth on his bare chest. Uub groaned softly as Bra traced his chest with her open mouth, her tongue dabbing it every few movements. Finally, her mouth reached the top of his pants, a noticeable bulge beginning to form. Uub removed his shirt completely as Bra began working on his pants, pulling them off as quickly as she could; the same was done with his underwear. Bra began to brush her face against the partially erection, her long hair flowing against Uub’s leg. Her face against him made the rest of the blood flow down, finishing the erection. Bra grinned and stroked the erected penis once, Uub moaning at the touch. She did it again, her other hand doing the same on the other side of it. Uub lay on his back, Bra’s touch making him weak. Bra noticed, a devilish grin appearing on her face. Her hands gripped him tighter and lightly tugged, Uub sucking in air sharply at the change of pace.

"Bra… oh god… just keep going…" He muttered, giving in completely. Bra tugged again, running her hands all over his erection. Uub groaned again, the heat in his body rising with each pull.

No longer able to hold back, Bra removed her hands and replaced them with her mouth, sucking gently on the tip. Her panties were growing wet with her growing excitement, so she took them off quickly. Bra began to suck harder, enjoying Uub’s surrendering to her. She pulled her mouth away and moved her body up Uub’s, desiring his mouth. She pushed her lips against his strongly, moving her mouth from and back his over and over again. She straddled him and began rubbing herself against Uub, his hardness grinding into her side. Uub enveloped Bra in his arms, pushing the rest of her body against his. He pulled his mouth away from hers, his breathing becoming heavy.

"You’ve had your fun Bra. But now it’s my turn." In an instant, Bra was on her back, Uub pressing against her as he found the clamp to her bra, unhooking it instantly.

"Uub…" she moaned, his tongue running along the edges of her lips.

"I want you Bra. I want to explore you all over again." He admitted this as he sat up and straddled her. He lifted her arms up and removed her bra entirely, throwing it to the floor.

His hands ran across Bra’s stomach, moans of delight filling the room as Bra clenched her eyes shut from the overpowering feeling flowing through her body. Uub stopped his roaming at the bottom of her breast, his fingers rubbing against the edge of them softly. He brought his mouth down over her left nipple, sweeping his tongue over the delicate flesh until he could feel it harden in his mouth. Bra began to wrap her legs around Uub, moving them over his sides. He groaned and moved his mouth to the other breast, his hand moving upward to massage the breast he had just left. His thumb and index finger pinched the already hard nipple, wanting to hear Bra moan in pleasure again. He began sucking her breast gently, his hands sliding up and down her waist.

"Move down, Uub. I’m aching for your touch." Bra begged him, her legs still tight around Uub pulling her up so she could rub herself against him. Uub removed his mouth from her breast and moved his hands down to Bra’s hips, holding them steady. Bra pulled her legs from Uub and let them fall roughly back on the bed with the rest of her body. When Bra had become settled, Uub placed his hands down delicately between Bra’s legs, his fingers kneading her flesh roughly. Bra whimpered powerfully, pleasure filling her body as Uub’s swift fingertips slightly entered her. Though unexpected, Bra welcomed this new touch of Uub’s and allowed him to go further. His fingers became slick with her wetness as he moved his fingers around the inside edge of her until he pulled them out and wiped them on his sheets. His hands now gone, Uub brought his lips down to the desired spot. He nipped at the skin, which cause a small scream from Bra. Grinning, Uub traced around the wet area with his rather active tongue, playing with Bra as much as possible. Bra whined in luxury as he did this, her hands raking through his dark, silky hair.

"Oh Uub! Keep going…don’t slow down," Bra asked, knowing he wouldn’t. She whispered it softly, not wanting to distract Uub from what he was doing. She pulled his head away from her vaginal area, making him whimper slightly. Bra pulled Uub’s face to hers, her tongue licking his bottom lip.

"Enter me Uub. I want to feel you inside me… " She pleaded to him, her voice full of craving. Uub felt Bra start to pry her legs apart, signaling him. Uub positioned himself and entered her slowly, as deeply as he could go at such speed. He pulled out and thrust again, a bit harder than the previous thrust. Bra tilted her head back, her mouth opening in a silent scream of exhilaration. Uub’s thrusts increased in speed, pulling in and out stronger with the momentum of speed. Bra began panting heavily, her fingers gripping Uub’s hair tightly.

Beginning to lose control of her body, Bra started thrusting her lower body upward to drive Uub in deeper, both of them groaning loudly as the process continued. Uub’s melted as he felt Bra's muscles tighten around him, telling him that she was reaching her peak. She looked up at him and kissed him hard.

"Again, Uub. As hard as you can… Please Uub…"

Uub agreed immediately and thrust for the final time, his control breaking in that instant. Bra screamed in pleasure as she felt Uub ejecting his fluids inside her body, Uub likewise. Their screams of each other’s names began to fuse together as their bodies began pushing against one another in spasms that ran through them before their orgasms gave off the final push.

They lay there, kissing gently with Uub no longer on top of Bra, but lying by her side, his arms wrapped around her waist. .

"You know what makes this so perfect?" Bra asked between kisses from Uub, her breathing heavy from the excitement.

"What?"

"It’s how different we are from each other. Rich and poor, loud and shy, white and black… The list goes on forever," Bra explained, counting on her fingers.

"And how do those things make this so perfect." Uub stopped kissing her and just looked at her, completely puzzled. Bra giggled and kissed him again.

"It’s the fact that we easily looked past those things and just simply love each other." Uub smiled and propped his head up on his arm, staring into Bra’s eyes.

"I like that. When did you decide this?"

"Just now." Bra turned to look out the window, the sky now dark and the moon shining brightly. "God the moons beautiful tonight. I wish I could see the moon like this every night, but back in the city, there’s always too many lights on until I’m already asleep." Uub frowned and pulled her closer.

"That’s a shame. I don’t like to see you unhappy." Bra blushed lightly and kissed Uub for the hundredth time, never tiring of it.

"When I’m with you, I can’t be unhappy." She rested her head on his pillow and closed her eyes, Uub doing the same.

"Goodnight love."

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Uub watched as Bra played with Arba and her brother, Maz, who was seven. She had been living with him for a week now and had by then met Maz and his mother, who took care of the two. Uub had finally met Pan, who planned to show up every Monday with Bra’s schoolwork, which was finished by Bra as soon as possible. Maz cradled Bra’s teddy affectionately, Arba attempting to pull it away from him.

"Maz! It’s my turn! Give him back." Bra clamped her hand over the little girl’s mouth, stopping her from yelling.

"Arba, you know you should share. And he’s my bear, so I’ll be the one who decides whose turn it is to hold him. And right now it’s Maz’s turn." Maz smiled triumphantly.

"That’s ‘cause you like me better, right Bra?" Bra shot him a warning glance, making him stop smiling. "I know, I know. You don’t like either one of us better than the other." Maz repeated this information flawlessly, obviously having been told many times before. Bra nodded and stood up to stand next to Uub.

"That’s right." She smiled for a quick moment, but suddenly threw her hand over her mouth and ran out of the room. The three remaining in the room paused for a moment until Uub ran after her, his siblings following.

They heard sounds of vomiting coming from the bathroom, indicating something was wrong. Arba and Maz looked at each other, then up at Uub.

"Is Bra going to be okay, Uub-niisan?" Maz asked weakly. Uub lowered himself a bit so he could talk to them face to face.

"I’m sure she’ll be fine. Why don’t you two head on home, okay? I’ll take care of Bra." The two nodded sullenly and turned around.

When they were out of the house, Uub knocked on the bathroom door, opening it slightly.

"Bra? Are you okay in there?"

Bra brought her head up from above the toilet bowl at the sound of Uub’s concerned voice, the smell of her own vomit filling her nose.

"I’m fine. Don’t come in."

The moment the she said this, Bra lurched forward and vomited a second time, the gross taste filling her mouth. Uub heard her and walked in, his face dropping the moment he saw Bra sitting on her knees, leaning over the toilet. She turned her head slightly, looking at him from the corner of her eye.

"I thought I said don’t come in." She tried to sound stern, but her voice cracked with the first word. She turned her head away from Uub and crawled into the corner, resting her head on the wall. Uub squatted in front of Bra, on arm resting on his knee while the other pushed some of Bra’s damp hair out of her face. Uub’s eyes widened at how quickly her hair had become damp and pressed the back of his hand against her forehead. There was not fever, but she still felt a bit warm.

"What happened, Bra?" He asked quietly, pulling his hand away. Bra sniffled and turned her head to face him.

"I don’t know. I felt fine and then suddenly I felt as though I was going to vomit, so I ran in here. Next thing I know, I’m sweating all over and puking my brains out." Tears began streaming down her face, but she didn’t notice. "I don’t know why everything happens to me. I ran away from home because my parents are too judgmental about things and people they don’t know, got cold and wet and now this." She turned her eyes away Uub’s continuous stare, embarrassed that Uub was seeing her like this. Uub just grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away from the wall so she had to at least turn her head towards him.

"Don’t worry Bra. I’m sure you’ll be fine and this will pass soon." Bra nodded and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Uub… What if I’m pregnant?" She whimpered; She roughly pulled away from him and crawled back to the toilet, vomiting for a third time. She wiped her mouth and nose, which had begun running, and went back to Uub’s protective arms. "Think about it, Uub. We’ve made love several times and never once used any sort of protection." Uub hesitated for a moment, the possibility never really worrying him.

"Well, um, when’s your period due?" Bra counted in her mind for a moment, looking up at the ceiling as she did. She found the answer and a new set of tears began flowing as she looked back at Uub.

"This week," Bra sobbed pitifully. "Sometime this week, but it hasn’t started. What does that mean, Uub?" Bra began sobbing into his shirt, dampening it slightly. Uub just smiled and kissed the top of her head.

"It means that you might have our baby." Bra brought her face away from Uub’s tear stained shirt to look at Uub and smiled for the first time since the beginning of the ordeal.

"It does mean that, doesn’t it? I might be having our baby, Uub."

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Pan arrived the next day to find Uub waiting in the open doorway for her instead of Bra. He smiled and waved at her, letting her know nothing was wrong. When she got about a foot away, Uub instantly started talking.

"Good, You’re here. Bra’s been waiting for you for a while. She’s in my bedroom," he pointed, "It’s that door right there." Pan just nodded and walked inside the house, confused at what was going on.

She walked in the room quietly, seeing Bra laying in the bed reading. She looked up at the new person in the room and smiled. She put down her book and gestured for Pan to come nearer.

"Pan! I was wondering when you’d get here. Come in, sit down and talk with me for a while." Pan nodded again and sat down where Bra had patted her hand, letting her backpack drop to the floor.

"Bra… What’s going on?" Pan asked timidly, knowing that something was amiss. Bra just sighed and clasped her hands together.

"Well, yesterday and today I threw up randomly through the day, making me think I might be pregnant, Pan." Pan’s jaw dropped wide open the instant the word had been said.

"Pre… you might…" Bran waved her hand in the air to silence her.

"Yes, Pan, I might be pregnant. Might. Uub took me to a clinic yesterday and I won’t get the results until tomorrow, so we’re not sure."

"Then, that means, you and Uub…"

"That’s right." Pan nodded, turning to face the wall.

"That’s what the commotion at your house was about, wasn’t it? Trunks told me it was he had caught Uub at your house and later your parents started some sort of fight about you sleeping with someone. I thought he was trying to kid me, but… What are you going to do if you are?"

"Have a baby. I thought that was the logical thing to happen."
"You mean you’d actually go through with it?!" Bra ‘hmphed’ and glared at Pan.

"Of course I’d have it! I can easily support a child and I wouldn’t even consider getting rid of mine and Uub’s child!" Pan backed up slightly.

"Okay, I’m sorry. It’s just… It would be kind of weird if you had a kid to take care of. What about if you’re not pregnant?"

"Then nothing will happen. Uub and I will continue on with our relationship, get married and then not have to worry about this kind of thing."

"Speaking of Uub, how’s he taking this. You seem pretty calm about it."

"He was actually the one who calmed me down. He knows we’d be fine with or without a child and he would stay with me and not skip town like a lot of people in this world would." Pan nodded and stood up, picking up her bag and throwing it on the bed.

"I’m not sure it I can say I’m happy for you, Bra, so I won’t. I just hope everything works out for you two. You really are meant for each other. I’ve barely seen you two interact with each other, but what I have seen I like." She paused to pull out the famous binder. "Here’s your weekly homework. Enjoy and get some rest. If you are pregnant, you’ll need it." Bra smiled and waved goodbye, Pan doing the same. As she walked out, Pan stopped to say something to Uub, who was still standing by the door, his arms crossed as he looked out at the sky which was growing dark like it always did when Pan arrived. Pan cleared her throat to grab his attention.

"She’s very lucky to have you, you know." Uub shook his head, smiling.

"No. I’m very lucky to have her." Pan smiled and patted Uub on the back before walking out the door.

"Right answer."

Uub watched Pan disappear before closing the door and going to check on Bra. She had resumed reading, but stopped for the second time in five minutes when Uub walked in.

"I like Pan. She seems to be a good friend."

"She is," Bra agreed, picking her book back up. "One of the best ones I could have."

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Bra thanked the nurse politely and walked back outside to Uub, who was waiting patiently for her to finish her business. He looked up at her and smiled, the curious look in his eyes hidden by his sunglasses.

"Well, what do the results say?" He asked first off, nodding his head towards the envelope Bra was carrying. She shrugged.

"Haven’t look yet. I wanted to be with you when I did," Bra explained, opening the large envelope when she was standing next to him. She read it over and smiled. She handed the paper to Uub immediately; he smiled too. Handing the paper back to Bra, Uub kissed her on her forehead.

"Not pregnant. You’re not pregnant." Bra nodded her head and put the paper back in its envelope.

"Even though it would have been interesting to have a child, I’m glad we’re not going to. I don’t think I’m really ready for a child."

"Me neither." Uub admitted, putting his arm around her shoulder. "Maybe in a few years, though."

"Yeah. But right now, I’m happy with it being just the two of us. And to make sure it stays that way for a little while longer, I think I’ll get some birth control pills. That okay?"

"Of course. We’ve learned our lesson, even though it would have turned out fine either way, but I don’t think your parents would like you coming home after an extended absence with the words ‘I’m pregnant’ being the first thing you say to them." Bra laughed and threw the papers in the nearest trashcan they walked past, no longer needing them.

When they got back to Uub’s house, Bra immediately went to Uub’s cell-phone and began dialing. Uub walked in after she did.

"Who are you calling?"

"Pan. I need to tell her the news."

"Okay. Don’t talk for too long, okay?" Bra laughed.

"Uub, I’m paying for this remember? You shouldn’t worry about that." Uub just shrugged and walked out of the hall.

When Bra was done with her phone call, she headed for the kitchen and grabbed something to eat, Uub appearing behind her, laughing.

"I guess it’s a good thing you’re not eating for two, huh?" Bra smirked and punched Uub lightly in the arm. He finished laughing and sat down at the table, Bra deciding to stand. "Bra, when are you going back home?"

"I don’t know. I’m thinking maybe in two weeks. I’m still hurt by what they said about you and us."

"I almost don’t want you to ever go back. I’m getting to really enjoy falling asleep and waking up with you in my arms."

"So am I. But I can’t stay here forever. We both know that I can’t stay angry with my parents forever because I love them, along with Trunks and Pan. I feel almost guilty about having her come over here every Monday to drop of my work because I can’t go to school because my parents will drag me home when I’m not ready."

"Don’t feel guilty, Bra. She enjoys coming here once a week to visit you for a little while. I’ve seen it every time she’s shown up at the house." Bra sighed in relief, sitting down on Uub’s lap.

"If you say she does, then I’ll trust you on it."

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Pan hung up her phone and began dialing new numbers immediately. She had promised Trunks that she would tell him anything that she felt he needed to know about his sister’s well being. She waited through a few rings before the familiar voice of Trunks came through.

"Hello? Trunks Briefs speaking."

"Son Pan reporting in, sir!" Pan said with a false military style voice. Trunks laughed, which was Pan’s intent.

"And what exactly are we reporting today?"

"You’re sister was thought to be pregnant," Pan started, which was followed by a loud scream of shock from Trunks. Pan pulled her ear from the phone to escape being blasted.

"What!? What do you mean she’s…" Trunks stopped, realizing that his secretary was staring at him because of his sudden outburst. He laughed nervously and gestured for her to get back to work. He finished his sentence, whispering now. "What do you mean she’s pregnant?" Pan sighed.

"I said she was thought to be pregnant. But she got her test back today and she’s not. She told me that she had been vomiting a lot, which, along with a few other things, led to the belief. But I think she just got sick somehow. Some kind of bug had been going around, because it took out several people from school last week. It must have found it’s way to her."

"Oh good! That takes a load off my mind. I don’t think I want to worry about having a niece or nephew." Pan laughed.

"Well, I got to go now, Trunks. I’ll tell you if anything else happens."

"Okay. I’ve got to get back to work anyway. Thanks, Pan." Trunks hung up his phone and looked up at his secretary, who was still giving him strange looks. "What?"

"Nothing, sir. Nothing at all." She lied, grabbing her phone the moment it began to ring.

Trunks just shook his head and went back to work.

Pan hung up her phone, glad all her calls were done. She began to walk to her room when the phone began to ring again. Pan cursed and picked up the phone yet again, getting a bit tired of this.

"Hello?" she asked irritated.

"Pan? Did I catch you at a bad time?"

"Oh! No Marron, it’s just I’ve been on this damn phone for awhile now and I really need to get to my homework."

"Okay, then. I’ll make this short. I was just wondering if you know where Bra is. Goten told me that he’s been at the Briefs’ a few times lately to talk to Trunks, but she’s never popped out to grab something from the kitchen or whatever she does there. Trunks has been using the excuse that she’s just in her room studying or shopping or anything else, but Goten’s not believing him." Pan paused for a moment, debating on what she should tell Marron the truth or not. She was to speak of Bra’s whereabouts with Trunks and Trunks alone.

‘But, Marron’s a good friend of both Bra and I. She deserves to know…" Pan sighed and decided to tell.

"Now, Marron, what I am about to tell you is secret and you can not tell anybody, not even Goten," Pan paused again, making sure she wanted to do this. "The truth is… Bra’s living with… me. Yes, she’s living with me right now. She and her parents got into some sort of argument and she didn’t want to be home for a little while. Her parents know where she is, but Trunks doesn’t want anybody to confront her about, so that’s why he’s been telling Goten that Bra was home." Pan closed her eyes tightly, praying that Marron would believe that story.

"I see. Well, okay. As long as Bra’s okay. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to her."

"She’s as perfect as she can be. Bye Marron."

"Goodbye, Pan. Talk to you later." Pan hung of the phone immediately, sliding against the wall onto the floor.

‘Sorry, Marron. Bra, you owe me big time for that one.’

Marron hung up her phone and smiled. She hadn’t believed a single word that had come out of Pan’s mouth, but she really didn’t care. Pan had sounded sincere when she said that Bra was fine, so she didn’t worry about that. Marron just knew that if Bra had run away from home and was living with somebody else, it definitely was not Pan.

‘I have a pretty good idea of who she is living with though." Marron thought smugly. Although she didn’t know his name or his whereabouts, Marron guessed that Bra was with the boyfriend that she had told Pan and herself about only a few weeks ago and Trunks for some reason was covering up for her.

Marron almost felt as though she should tell Goten about it, seeing how he saw Bra like a little sister and worried about her. But she had promised Pan she would keep it secret and would stick to that promise.

Bra blinked a few times before realizing it was morning. She yawned and got out of bed to change out of her pajamas and into normal clothes. Both she and Uub had agreed that this day was to be the one when she went back home. Despite the fact that it was home, Bra felt nervous about going back. Her parents might be happy to see her after such a long absence or they may be upset with her for leaving in the first place. Or worse, they would be happy and then get upset.

Turning around, Bra smiled to see that Uub was still sleeping.

‘Lucky.’ Bra sat down on the bed and nudged Uub slightly, stirring him.

"What? What’s going on?" Uub woke up franticly, obviously waking from a strange dream. Bra laughed and stood back up.

"I’m going home today, remember?" Uub relaxed and nodded.

"Oh. Right. Um, do you need help packing?" He asked, forcing a smile. Bra shook her head.

"No, I’m fine. You get dressed while I finish. Are you hungry?"

"Not really."

"Me neither, for once." She sighed and flopped back on the bed, resting her head in Uub’s lap. "I’m not sure if I’m ready to go back."

"I’m not sure if I want you to go back. But you have to." Bra frowned and sat up, turning her head to look at Uub.

"I guess you’re right. Come on and hurry up. I don’t think I can take the wait much longer."

Bra locked the door the moment Uub walked out, knowing that she had everything she had brought.

"We just need to stop at your family’s house so I can get my bear. Then we’ll be off."

"’We’ll be off.’ You make it sound like a quest." Bra frowned and started walking.

"In a way, it is."

When they reached the small house, Bra knocked on the door lightly, not wanting to wake anybody up. The door opened and Maz appeared in the doorway, the needed teddy bear in his hand. He looked up and smiled.

"Hi Bra! How are you today?" He asked politely, knowing it got a smile out of Bra. But it didn’t that day.

"I’m fine Maz. We just came over so I could get my bear there," she explained with a frown, pointing to the stuffed animal in his hand.

"Are you leaving?!" He said with slight surprise, knowing the answer was ‘yes’. He dropped the bear and said he would be right back. When he reappeared, Arba was with him. They both latched onto Bra in a large hug.

"Come back soon, okay Bra?"

"We’ll miss you."

"Be sure to visit." They continued chanting until Bra wrapped her arms around them and returned the hug. They released her and picked up the bear, dusting it off before handing it back to Bra.

"Thank you. Don’t worry, I’ll be back." Bra called out, her and Uub walking away. The children nodded and waved goodbye, closing the door.

Bra looked at the teddy bear and smiled, pulling it close to her.
"I’m going to miss them."

"You’ll see them again." Uub said knowingly, kissing the top of Bra’s head. She looked at him and frowned.

"Why did you wear your sunglasses today? My parents will think you’re hiding something."

"The suns bright and I want to protect my eyes?" Uub guessed, chuckling at Bra’s small paranoia. "Don’t worry, I’ll take them off when we get there."

Bra just sighed and put the bear in her bag, looking at the small glass eyes one more time.

"You ready for this, Uub?"

"Are you?"

Trunks was the first one to hear the doorbell, letting him get to the front door first. He cracked it open at first, seeing if it was who he was expecting. He smiled and opened the door the rest of the way. Bra looked at him and hugged him instantly. He returned the hugged and looked behind her, seeing Uub.

"You took good care of her?" Uub nodded.

"The best." Trunks smiled at his answer and let go of his sister.

"Hold on, I’ll get Mama and Papa." Trunks turned around and disappeared into the house, leaving Bra and Uub in a nervous wait.

When Bra’s parents arrived, Bulma immediately ran to Bra and gave her a tight hug, tears streaming down her face. Vejiita stood silently in the doorway, looking directly at Uub.

Bulma released her daughter and inspected her.

"Well, you’re you. Oh god, we’ve missed you so much!" She cried, wiping her tears away. "Why don’t you come inside now and you can tell me what’s been happening to you while you were gone." Bulma began to lead her inside, but Uub cleared his throat and stepped forward, stopping Bulma momentarily. Bra pulled away lightly from her mother’s grasp and gestured her hand towards Uub.

"Mama, Papa, this is Uub. I think you met him ten years ago, but he’s changed a bit." Uub smiled and stuck out his hand, which Bulma grabbed and shook slowly.

"I take it you’re the one that Bra’s been seeing and formerly living with?" Uub nodded, removing his sunglasses like Bra had asked him to earlier. Bulma looked into his eyes and smiled. "Well, Uub, it seems you’ve taken good care of her." She pulled him closer with her extended arm and hugged him, surprising him and Bra. She let go and smiled again. "Why don’t you two come inside and tell me what I’ve been missing, all right?"

Bra nodded and walked past her father into her home, Bulma following. Before Uub could walk in after them, Vejiita grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back to face him. It took him a moment, but Vejiita managed a small smirk.

"Thank you for bringing my daughter home," he said quietly, his voice holding some hostility. Uub smiled to and answered, a bit nervous.

"It was a bit hard for me sir. I love her." Vejiita nodded and released Uub’s shoulder.

"I know that. Just treat her well in the future."

"Wouldn’t consider any other way." Bra stuck her head out the door and giggled.

"Come on, Papa. You’ll miss everything and I’ll have to repeat myself." She grabbed her father’s hand and pulled him inside. When Vejiita was in, Bra scooted out of the house and closed the door, grabbing Uub’s neck to pull him closer.

"Will I see you tomorrow at our usual time?" Uub nodded and kissed her deeply, bringing a smile to her face. "Good. I don’t think you want to hear the stories about my trip, do you?" Uub looked up to the sky, deciding.

"No. I think I know what happened. Just don’t tell them everything, okay?"

"Of course not." Bra laughed and released Uub, walking back to her door. "I’ll be waiting here tomorrow. Don’t be late." Uub blew her and kiss and walked away, hearing her close the front door for the final time that day.

"Never."

AAAAAAHHHH! I’m done! Hallelujah!

In case you don’t know the pun of Uub’s name, it’s Buu backwards (from Bibidi-babidi-buu)

With this information, I will explain his siblings names:

Arba = Abra-ka-dabra

Maz = Alla-ka-zam

And Uub-niisan roughly translates to ‘big brother Uub’ ( I think)

So, tell me what you think!
