glaring at the noisy gang Pipe down! Some of us have lives that don't involve constant yammering!
the gang proceeds to leave the building as they carry out what’s my name to their feet with matching choreography
watches the gang leave Finally, some peace and quiet. Can't believe those kids and their need to perform everywhere they go. muttering to herself
she then turns her attention to ursula who is just chilling on the sofa watching a soap opera
she releases one of her tentacles at the pirate gang and sends it hurtling towards them, yelling at them I'll warn you one last time to get out of my sight before I give you an earful! she glares at them The last thing I want right now is any more trouble from all of you. Get yourselves together and go do something productive for once. If I hear even one more peep from you lot, I'll have no choice but to unleash my full fury upon you all! her tentacle wraps around one of the pirates as she says the last word, lifting him off the ground, while she stares at them with anger in her eyes Now that's enough out of you all. All of you get out, or else you'll be sorry!
while she’s dealing with that uma appears outside her home as she comes down the sidewalk mama! uma need help feeding flamingos! ursula looks up and sighs heavily as she sees uma walking towards her
she lets out an irritated groan before walking out of the front door to greet her daughter Ugh... What now, Uma? Can't you see I'm trying to watch my shows here? You know how much I enjoy my soap operas. Can't whatever it is wait until I finish this episode?
uma stands there looking innocent with those long black eyelashes covering her dark red doe eyes
takes a deep breath Fine, fine. What do you need help with now, child? I swear, if this is another one of your silly projects, I'll lose my mind. And these dishes aren't gonna wash themselves!
uma replies in a sweet voice still giving off that spoiled brat princess vibe i-i have no idea mama, will talk to you after school
throws her hands up in exasperation Of course, you don't. Why would you ever take responsibility for anything? You're always getting me involved in your messes, like I never have other things to deal with! rolls her eyes But fine, we'll talk after school. Just make sure you don't cause any more trouble until then. And for goodness' sake, try not to make a fool out of yourself in front of the other kids! shakes her head in annoyance as she walks back inside and collapses onto the couch, muttering to herself These kids... They'll be the death of me yet...
ut later that evening the trio is all home as uma sits down on the sofa as she puts her bag on the ground and turns to ursula mama
looks up at Uma with a tired expression What now, dear? Can't you see I'm trying to enjoy some peace and quiet after a long day of dealing with other people's nonsense? What do you need now?
uma speaks sweetly once again but still with that spoiled brat princess voice i-i don’t know mama
lets out another groan as she starts to lose her patience Why must you always come to me for everything, child? Can't you figure things out for yourself? I have better things to do than be your personal problem solver! Now, stop wasting my time and tell me what's eating at you.
her next words caught ursula off guard u-ursula doesn’t care about uma unless she needs her to clean the house or do the dishes or worse….help her in the kitchen when she has one of her tides and is cooking for the evening meal and could use a hand especially since her daughter loves to help when she feels like it
let's out a frustrated gasp That's it! How dare you speak to me like that? How dare you turn against me and criticize me?! You ungrateful little brat! What have I done to deserve this?! I've given you everything! I've supported you! And this is how you repay me?! clenches her fists in anger I hope you're happy! Because you just lost yourself a mother!
ursula suddenly collapses on the sofa beside uma as tears stream down her cheeks
teary-eyed and sniffling It's true... I don't really care about you unless I need you to do something for me. You're right... I've been selfish and I've taken you for granted. I'm sorry, Uma... I really am. But... what can I do to make things right? How can I make you forgive me?
uma keeps her sweet innocent look but now it seems genuine i-i want nothing mama, i-its just how much you have changed
sniffs Changed? How have I changed? What's wrong with me? teary-eyed Do you really think I've become some kind of monster? Is that what you think of me?
uma gently holds ursula close no not a monster just…kinda distant lately
sniffs as tears continue to stream down her face Distant? I... I didn't mean to push you away... It's just... Life has been so complicated lately. The restaurant... Ben... sighs There's just so much going on. And I guess... I forgot how important you are to me. I took you for granted and I let my own problems get in the way of being there for you. sniffs again But I promise you, Uma... I will try to be better. I will make more time for you... For us. I'll be there for you no matter what happens.
that evening while ben was walking home from work he bumped into uma as she walked by herself down the street hey una! what are you doing out here late at night?
rushing towards them and glaring at Ben Are you talking to my daughter?! You have no business talking to her at this hour! You're nothing but trouble! I told you to stay away from her! This is what happens when you don't listen! Stay away from my child, or else there will be consequences!
ben looks puzzled as he speaks calmly ursula i-i heard something about you not caring for uma unless she helps you but what ben did wrong to deserve that response
pauses, blushing slightly embarrassed Oh... Well... That's not entirely fair, Ben. It's just... I can be a bit overprotective sometimes. And it's true that I've been relying on Uma a lot lately... But that doesn't mean I don't care about her. I do, and I always will. It's just... I've been scared. Scared that something bad might happen to her... Scared that I might lose her... sniffs and wipes away tears
benefit looks concerned as he gently rubs her back hey ursula…its ok
sniffles Sorry, Ben... I didn't mean to come at you like that. It's just... I've had a rough day and things have been weighing on me. sniffs But you're right... I shouldn't take my frustrations out on you or anyone else. I appreciate your concern for Uma... But she's safe. She's with me. sniffs again and composes herself Thank you for checking up on her... And for being a good friend to both of us.
