The day was, by far, the worst of their lives.
.-.
Theresa tough the day Julian, in his Monster Kluu, revealed that, was the worst of her life. How innocent she has been. She should have stayed in her house when the bus moved in front of her, splashing mud from head to toe. She really, really should have saved herself the detention for arriving late.
But she could not go to the school dripping mud and stinking, so she showered and dressed herself in the most adequate clothes she find. She forgot to put the washing machine last night, and since it was her responsibility, she only had a red and white spots shirt, a jean she did not wore for years, and winter tights.
It was that, or miss school.
She went to school.
What a big mistake.
.-.
The worst day ever, indeed, and all started with his grandmother storming in his room and throwing away "all the dark rags" his grandchild has. Like the lace sleeves, the ones he planned to use in very special occasions, the ones he inverted almost all his savings, or the violet leather skirt made in Europe. And she was staying for two months for health issues, and Julian was the one with the biggest room, and if the grandmother did not fit in here, then she could "dispose" all she found, throwing it away, for example.
Julian put his role playing game, with his twenty-sided dice, in his bag, and put the most important in his room inside. His grandmother was the kind of old lady who insist in awake the whole family to go to the church the Sundays. She took away his black candles, and instead of his Cthulhu figurine, there was a set of figurines, of unknown material, representing archangels.
But he was not going to the school dressed in white.
It was so sad all the white, fluorescent, or coloured clothes jumped off the windows to the mud puddle in the backyard. He was forced, now, to wear his pajamas, with spider web design. And not even God will take his hat away. The phrase scandalised his grandmother, at an unimaginable level, and she called a priest to exorcize his grandchild.
At the same time, she took a light green set of clothes, throwing it to his face, telling him he was going to the school, in underwear or with this.
Julian picked the lesser evil.
.-.
-And mom agrees with her, Cunningham. Can you believe it?
-Yes, Howard, I believe it.
-A diet! How could they not see the beauty of good masculine curves?
-Like the ones you did in the arcade, yes, I remember that- said Randy, a little more amused.
-I do not care! I defeated you in that videogame and I will defeat these two!
.-.
The day seemed to start with the right foot.
Randy awakes after a good dream, with the ninja defeated McFist in front of the whole city, and he was sent to jail. Viceroy travelled back to France, maybe in vacation, with Nicholas in a basket full of ribbons. Howard was here, filming all for Heidi´s show, who give his brother all his coupons for Charlie´s fried chicken as a prepayment. Something about press privileges.
His mother left early, so he made his favourite breakfast. He felt his batteries where full, and it was Wednesday, so this day, nor McFist nor the Sorcerer will ruin it. He could go to the Arcade, defeat Howard again…
The Nomicon was shining.
Randy, curious, looks around and put aside his breakfast remains. He opened the book with care.
-What is it, Nomicon?
The book pulls him to its insides, and Randy found himself in the middle of a bamboo forest, on a cushion floating in the water.
A phrase began to form in front of him.
"A ninja must see beyond what his eyes take in"
-Beyond?- asked Randy, confused –Like X-rays? Can I learn that?
The Nomicon send him back to his body.
His body, with one cheek covered in crumbs, drooling in the kitchen table.
.-.
-But Heidi is not going to take the flan away of me, oh no. Do you know how delicious it is?- protested Howard, entering the school
-If it is as much as you said, maybe I will eat yours- said Randy.
-Don't you dare, Cunningham!
.-.
The clothes resulted way, way more uncomfortable than she tough.
Theresa found the baton twirling team will not be a school group anymore, so she has to give her baton back. Baton she paid and, by law, was hers. She almost bite the principal, and in the end, she keeps her precious baton. She crossed paths with Julian in her way to next class, dressed with light green clothes.
-What happened to you?- the girl asked.
-My grandma wants to exorcize me, starting with my clothes- he pulled one of the short sleeves in the shirt he wore –It doesn't even have chains. At least, I saved the module- he looked Theresa –The principal again?
-Again. And I arrived late, so I have detention. And I arrived late because the bus splashed me with mud, so I went back to my house to take a shower. And now I really want to play your game.
Julian smiled.
-Everyone is welcomed.
.-.
-Vegan day? What are they thinking?- Howard, outraged, observed the cafeteria's menu –And there is not even a single dessert!
-Howard, it says there is fruit salad as a dessert- said Randy, reading the menu –And it says it´s the healthy day, or something.
Howard didn´t listened to him, and walked furious to the food trays, looking for something considered, to his eyes and mouth, as food. Outside, the rain began to fall, hard, and Randy looked to the window, surprised. Howard did not pay any attention to him. There was not rain announced for today. And it was not the only strange thing in the entire scene.
Shangri-lunch was here; empty, in the most desired spot.
Randy saw not even the cafeteria´s staff was present, and there were no signs of other students, despite being the rush hour in the cafeteria.
-Howard? I think there is something strange in…
Howard was not here.
The rain hit the windows with an incredible noise.
And the water began to rise, like a submarine diving in the sea.
.-.
This day was the worst of his life.
For first time, since the first day of school, his car was not destroyed for the Ninja.
A truck did.
A truck without brakes, since the driver forgot this basic precaution and the vehicle rolled downhill, to the beautiful car, just out of the car wash. And waxed. Did he never learn? No more wax, he said to himself, and he went to wax it again.
And the worst part was, he was floating.
.-.
In the first day, Randy woke up with a mermaid tail.

Only for the character design, the series deserved to be watched. And then I fell for it. And then I began a fanfic, but said fanfic exceeded the RC9GN universe, so I began to write an original story. But then I said to myself, "I can write a fanfic based in the story".
So here we go.
