Part 4
Dating and Danger
Author's note: Again, I want to thank Lin-z and Jenny. All of this is for them. Without the two of them, this story wouldn't be up or anything. Thanks you guys, you're both more than I could ask for.
~~*~~*~~*~~
The air was warm and couples were together everywhere. The evening was perfect for a day out.
"This is gonna be fun!" Leelee commented, walking next to Seventeen and Sabriena.
Jenny nodded excitedly, hanging on Piccolo's arm.
"Where to first, you guys?" Gohan asked the group, his arm around Lindsey. "Dinner, movies, what?"
A buzz of conversation went up and a small argument broke out about where they should go. It was settled that they would eat first. They walked into a resturaunt and waited for a table so that they could all be together. Once seated, their menus were placed before them.
"What are you going to order?" Catie asked Lindsey.
Lindsey looked at the list of food and pointed to the elegantly sliced chicken with a side of salad. " THAT", Lindsey replied, licking her lips.
Catie grinned and pointed to what she was going to get.
Jenny rolled her eyes. " Couldn't you get something less messy?" she asked.
Catie sat back and stared at her, along with Leelee. "Are you kidding me?" she said. " I like it when it's messy, I get to lick it off my fingers!"
Piccolo put his menu down and crossed his arms.
The waiter walked up, "Are you all ready to order?"
"Yea", Sabriena answered. The boy stared at Piccolo and waited for him to speak.
"Water", Piccolo said simply.
With a puzzled look, the waiter scribbled it down and turned to Lindsey, then to Gohan.
Leelee thought for a minute, "I'll take...um...the all you can eat salad bar!"
"I'll have the same!" Jenny piped.
"Me too", Seventeen echoed.
"And what about you?" The waiter said, looking at Catie.
Catie rubbed her hands together, " The baby back ribs. With extra sauce!"
All the orders were taken and a small conversation went up around the table. An unlit candle caught Lindsey's eye and she smiled. Lighting a flame on the tip of her finger, she went to light it. At the same time, Sabriena bumped her elbow into Lindsey's arm, knocking it into her dress.
Jenny jumped and shrieked, "Fire!"
Lindsey's skirt had caught on fire and was creeping slowly up the table cloth too. "Put it out!" she screamed, " Put it out put it out put it out!"
All eyes turned to their table and stared in fascination. Piccolo grabbed his glass of water and threw it at her, drenching Lindsey and her clothes. Jenny went to work on the table cloth,
"Well", Leelee said, " this ain't so boring, now is it?"
~~*~~*~~*~~
In the shadows, a figure watched every move they made. It had come a long way and it had finally found the creatures it needed for its plan. It was no ordinary plan. Not some take over the universe ploy. It was much more than that. It was revenge. And, oh, how sweet it was going to be...
~~*~~*~~*~~
The movies. That's where they wanted to go next. But what movies were playing? The four couples stared at the list of films, trying to decide which one was best.
"I wanna watch Mutual Death", Piccolo said, grinning from ear to ear.
Jenny elbowed him. " I want to see Love in November", she said dreamily.
"No way!" Catie said, making a gagging sound. "I wanna see Mutual Death too. That, or it's Pearl Harbor all the way!"
Trunks groaned.
Catie had mentioned a movie star crush and he had been a tad jealous. Josh Hartnett. What did he have that Trunks didn't?
Lindsey's clothes were dry now with the help of Leelee. Leelee had the power of air. It wasn't a problem to blow Lindsey dry.
It was decided that they were going to watch "Attack of the Killer Android." Seventeen had protested quite a bit, but had been over ruled, even by Leelee. The theater was dark as they made their way to their seats. The movie was barely starting and the room was packed with anxious onlookers, ready for a good show. The movie started with a sunny day......
~~*~~*~~*~~
It was getting late. Seventeen checked his watch. They were barely even halfway through the movie yet and it was already four. The scene had changed to a lone couple in a deserted building with the android creeping slowly up on them. Jenny clung to Piccolo's arm, her eyes fixated on the screen. Her power level was rising without her knowing it. The android was right behind them....
Lindsey sat, biting her nails, hunched forward, muscles tense. Look behind you, you stupid lovebirds!!! She kept thinking.
The girl turned around and caught sight of the killing machine, " John, Look out!"
Leelee rocked back and forth, her face all the way up and behind the seat in front of her. They're gonna die!! Her mind was screaming.
"Marsha! Stay back!" The man ordered, getting into a fighting stance.
Sweat beaded Catie's forehead as she clutched Trunks' hand, cutting off its circulation. Trunks tried to pull gently away, but Catie pulled his arm back, squeezing it in terror.
The android lunged at him, grabbing him by the neck.
Sabriena jumped slightly out of her chair and shut her eyes. Then quickly opened them back up. Oh no, she thought. Oh no oh no oh no...
Suddenly, a scream went up in the theater and Gohan jumped, along with the rest of the group.
The man kicked the android and attacked.
Another scream...
Now that was real, Jenny thought.
Catie turned around in her seat, searching the theater. She knew that scream was real. Abruptly, the whole crowd started screaming. Everyone seemed to know what was going on except for her. A figure suddenly stepped in front of the screen, holding a sphere of light in his hand. More screams went up as the terrified people noticed the form, its eyes glowing red. And without warning, the figure launched the ball of energy straight at Gohan and Lindsey.
