I do not own Randy or Howard. Credit goes to Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas! Carissa is not my OC, either. My friend wanted me to write a fanfic for her. Enjoy!

"Howard…"

"Yes?"

"Please, stop."

"Why?"

"You're messing up my hair."

"But it's pretty!"

Carissa sighed. Howard was currently petting her red, curly hair, in the process messing it up completely.

She was waiting for Randy. He had texted her yesterday to meet up with him and Howard in front of the Mall. She got there early, Howard was on time, and Randy was, well, late.

She wished he would hurry, not because of Howard or being in a hurry or anything. She just wanted to see him.

Luckily, no one had any idea (except Moriko), that Carissa had the biggest crush on Randy. Sadly, she never dropped hints of liking him. He did, but not often, so she just took them as jokes!

She knew he was a ninja, and she herself wasn't a complete human, so she thought it made him even more amazing being human and having powers!

It's one o'clock. He's thirty minutes-

"Carissa! Howard! Hey! Sorry for being-"

"Thirty minutes late. New record."

He hung his head. "Sorry.."

Carissa sighed. She can't stay mad at him for more than a minute! "It's okay. Just- why are we here?"

He popped his head up smiling.

Oh… I've seen that smile before…

"Howard, would you do the honors?"

Carissa rolled her eyes and turned to him. "What is it?"

He grinned. "There… Is… A discount… At… GAMESTOP.."

She threw her hand against his mouth. "THAT'S ALL I NEED TO HEAR! Let's go!"

"ARMS IN, CUNNINGHAM!" Howard throws his hand forward. Carissa puts her hand in, laughing as Randy puts both of his hands in. "On three! One, two, three!"

"GAME TIME!"

Carissa had a small job of boxing pizzas, which was relatively boring, but it paid well on busy days for a freshman! Not to mention the awesome boss and the pizza discount!

Randy told her to bring as much money as she would want to spend, so she brought about $125.

"So, which game do you want, Carissa?"

"What the juice, Randy? We aren't there yet! There could be TONS, or there could be none." She clapped her hands and made a 'rainbow' motion, then she giggled.

"Cunningham, stop talking to the lady and let's hurry up!" Howard grabbed her hand and ran the rest of the way.

Once they arrived, they immediately went their separate ways to find their own games.

Never bring gamers to a game sale...

"How many games did you buy?"

"Seven."

"Howard, what about you?"

"Five."

"I bought six. Carissa wins!"

"WOO HOO!"

Riiiing. Riiing. Riiing.

Howard and Randy turned their heads. "Hello? Yeah? Okay, I'll tell him. Howard, Heidi needs you to go home."

"Carissa..."

"Yeah?"

"Why does my sister have your number?" His eye twitched.

"I have no idea. She just gave it to me." She winked. "Guess I'm just that cool!"

"Yeah, super cool..." Randy whispered, with a grin.

"Oh well, bye!" Howard left, waving his hand.

"Aw. I bet he's sad to go." Carissa put down her waving hand.

"Yeah, he probably forgot to take the trash out, or something simple. He may come back later."

"Yeah... So, what do you wanna do now?"

"Well..." He looked around. "Wanna go to the candy store?"
