Chapter 2: A free day
The two ninja rushed to the cafeteria to find Flute Girl in the hand of stankified Bucky. "Flute Girl causes a lot of problems when it comes to Bucky" Randy said as he threw some ninja rings at Bucky's arm. He let Flute Girl go. Alice watched as Randy shot a ninja chainsicle at a piece of paper. Soon I'll be able to do all that… once I master… um… whatever that was. Alice caught the paper and Bucky returned to normal. "What's this?" Alice asked showing Randy the paper. "Rejected love letter." Randy said. "ouch." She said. Randy threw a red smokebomb. Alice held her nose and threw a purple one.
Alice and Randy went back to the lunch room. "Alice you missed it! There were TWO ninjas! Who was the other one Cunningham?" Howard asked. Alice and Randy looked at each other. Alice whispered into Howard's ear. "Me." "What!?" Howard exclaimed. "Shhh!" Alice and Randy said. "Yes. We'll explain everything later!" Randy said.
They had explained everything to Howard. After all their classes were done, the three were walking in the halls when something came on the monitors. "Heidi Weinerman here with your dirt of the day!" Heidi said on the screen. A video of Randy and Alice talking on the bus showed. "It appears that," She looked at the yearbook for Randy's name. "…Randy Cunningham is hitting on the new girl! Is this a budding romance or just a new friendship? Only time will tell!" The screen went black. There was an awkward silence between the three. The bell rang and they said their goodbyes.
As time went on, Heidi posted more videos that the trio ignored; more monsters and robots attacked, and Alice learned a lot about being a ninja. Soon she was as good as Randy. One day, they were in the nomicon training. They pretended they were asleep on their history books.
"Ok, ok. Stay grounded, do not waver, the uh… earth-"Alice said before Randy cut her off.
"Nope. It's dirt." Randy corrected.
"I knew that! Let me try again. Stay grounded, do not waver, the dirt itself will pay you a favor, to stop your foes uh… Th-that fight back-"she was cut off again
Randy made a 'you got it wrong' sound. "Wrong! It's 'to stop your foes and hold them back'" He said.
"Ok, ok! I've got it this time! Stay grounded, do not waver, the dirt itself will pay you a favor, to stop your foes and hold them back, harness the soil for an earth attack!" She cheered herself.
The nomicon gave her and Randy a message. "To stay focused can determine the difference between victory and defeat." Alice read. The two ninja were transported out of the nomicon. Class was over. Alice was about to ride her bike home when Randy and Howard ran up. "Alice! We have great news!" Randy said. "Really? What?" Alice asked. "Ok, ok. So, you know how we have to take turns when we play videogames at my house because we only have two controllers?" Randy asked. "Yeah…" Alice said. "Well not anymore because we got a third!" Howard exclaimed holding up a controller. "Hey! I wanted to tell it!" Randy said. "Too bad! You shoob, you lose!" Howard said. "I don't think that's how it goes." Alice added. "Whatever." Howard said. "So, wanna come over and punch some graves?" Randy asked. "Sure! I just have to drop my brother, Ty, off at my house." Alice said. They said goodbye and went their separate ways.
"Hi mom! Can I go over to Randy's house? Thanks!" Alice said after she dropped her younger brother off at her house. "Hang on!" her mom said. "So close!" Alice muttered. "Who's Randy and why are you going over to his house?" Her mom asked. She was a tall woman, with short brown hair. "He's a friend and, we're going to play some Grave Puncher 6." Alice said. "So you're going over to a boy's house? To play video games?" she asked. "Mom, don't be silly! He's not a boy, boy. He's just my friend from school." Alice said smiling. "Uh-huh." Her mom said giggling. Why is she laughing? "Ok. You have fun now." Her mom said. "Thanks mom!" she exclaimed. Ty came up behind her. "Alice has a boyfriend! Alice has a boyfriend!" he chanted. She ignored him and rode to Randy's house.
After about an hour they went paintballing. After that, they all got a smoothie. "Hey, you know what's weird?" Alice asked. "What?" Randy replied. "This is our first free day ever! It feels weird to just hang out without school or monsters or robots to fight, doesn't it?" Alice answered. "Yeah" Randy and Howard said laughing. And with that, their free day was done, and the next day would bring much more action than this one.
