Just a little note, Videl may seem a little out of character in this one chapter.

"Triple Threat"
Chapter 4: "Capture the Moment"


Videl stood in front of the mirror examining dress. It was dark purple and she wore light purple high heels to match.

" 'You're lucky, Yamcha. I was saving this dress for Gohan, but it seems that he's not the one.' There. That line should get him talking. Let's go!" She walked out the door where Yamcha was waiting for her.

Like a gentleman, he held the door open for her. "There you go, my lady."

"Thank you."

And so, they sped off.

-in the sky-

Gohan was flying over Orange Star City, as Saiyaman, of course. He needed time to think, "How could he?" He asked to himself. How could he ask her out? I expected him to tease me like Krillin did! But this... this is unacceptable!"

Just then, he saw Yamcha and Videl drive up to one of the restaraunts.

Curious as to what they were going to do, he followed. He followed in a way so that no one would see or sense him.

(I won't do the scene changes since you already know Saiyaman is just outside listening to their conversation)

Yamcha pulled a chair out for Videl. "Videl, you look nice tonight." He said, not sure how to start a decent conversation off with her.

People walking by looking at the extraordinary person they knew as Saiyaman like he had lost his mind.

But all he lost was his chance to be with the one he truly cared for.

Videl's voice interrupted his thoughts, "Yamcha, I'm just curious. Why did you ask me out?"

Yamcha blushed, "Uh... Yeah... Good question..." I really like her, but if Gohan finds out, I'm dead!

Then the waiter arrived with their food. He layed a plate with a steaming piece of steak and yellow corn in front of Videl. Yamcha ordered the same.

Realizing he was attracting attention, he tried to ignore them. Saiyaman looked at what they ordered. What? What kind of restaraunt is this? He looked at the sign. "The King's Pyramid"! That's the most expensive restaraunt there is! How could Yamcha afford it?

"So, do you like any boy at your school?" Yamcha asked.

Videl gasped, instantly thinking of Gohan. "...No. There's no one at my school." She said quieter, "No one except Gohan." but Yamcha heard her.

He frowned, "So you... uh... like Gohan?"

When Videl blushed, he said, "I heard you say that. I can tell him for you."

"No, that's OK, Yamcha. I'll tell him... eventually."

Outside, Saiyaman didn't hear the beginning of the conversation, "She'll tell who what? I'll ask him when he leaves."

"Yamcha, can I ask you something? What's a saiyan?"

Saiyaman jerked his head up at "saiyan."

Videl continued, "One man called Saiyaman a saiyan during a bank robbery. Tell me, Yamcha."

"Videl, I can't say."

"Why not? To protect Gohan!"

"Uh... Yeah." Yamcha said, nervously.

Outside, Saiyaman breathed a sigh of relief. Atleast he didn't say anything.

Videl sighed, "All right. I give up. You don't have to tell me. Let's just eat our food."

-high up in the sky-

Above the sky, 3 people were flying overhead, watching "the Great Saiyaman." It was Black Rain, Green Ivy, and the other one one was called White Silver.

"So, Black Rain," Green Ivy said, "How do you plan on doing it?"

"Don't you trust me?" Black Rain responded. "I am the most powerful Saiyan alive. I would know how to exterminate a fellow Saiyan."

"True." White Silver commented with a bitter tone in his voice, "But the part about you being the most powerful is not. Kakkarot is the most powerful saiyan alive, as much as I hate to admit it."

"But, White Silver, remember it was you who-"

Black Rain interrupted Green Ivy's sentence with his own, "Let's go."

And so they flew down from behind and landed beside Saiyaman quietly. The three were hiding their energy so Saiyaman wouldn't notice them. When he did notice, it was too late.

He struggled the best he could, but when the sharp needle pierced his skin, he felt his energy vanish.

Yamcha sensed something was wrong, but didn't think anything of it. Videl just kept talking, not noticing anything different.

Neither of them saw the 3 men drag Saiyaman into the sewer.


Next chapter, Videl goes off to look for Gohan...er, I mean, Saiyaman. And you get to hear Chichi scream... Review!
