Here is the eleventh chapter to Beyond Addiction! I don't own RC:9GN or Shouldn't Come Back by Demi Lovato! Go ask Disney XD or Demi Lovato herself!


"Can you slow down?" Randy stumbled over his long legs causing Nat to give him a half smile. "We only have a little more to go!" She tugged him across the street to a shop called Sae's Cream.

"Sae's Cream?"

Nat explained the shop. "It's one of the best ice cream shops I know. It probably is the best." Her eyes brighten with childlike happiness as she pushed opened the door.

She walked up the counter, a smile taking over her face. "How's it going, Sae?" Nat leaned an arm over the counter to a women who looked around sixty with blond hair mixed with gray hairs. Sae had sapphire blue eyes like Randy and wore glasses.

"It's all good! What brings you here today?" The teen smiled, "My friend, Randy, wanted to hang out and I decided to take him to one of my favorite places."

She pulls Randy to her side and ruffles his hair. "I guess you want the usual and..." Nat catches on. "Can you get him Wild 'n Reckless Sherbet?" Sae nods and moves to the back room.

"She seems nice."

Nat nods, her smile drooping a bit. "I want work here one day." She shook her head, her smile brighten again. "You know, I used to live in Norrisville before..." Randy eyes widened slightly causing her to laugh. "Don't look so shocked. Living in Norrisvillie is completely normal." She frowned. "Too bad I can't remember much about when we did."

Randy put a hand her shoulder. "The past doesn't matter. Just think about the present and the future."

Nat raised an eyebrow. "When did you get so wise?" Randy smiled causing Nat to smile. "When I asked you out, maybe I should start asking people mores often." Nat stood up and punched his arm. "Don't joke like that."

At that moment, Sae came back, a smile on her face. She handed Randy a blue, green, and purple ice cream while giving Nat Cookies 'n Creme. "Congratulations!" Nat blushed and, while holding her ice cream in one hand, pulled out a twenty dollar bill.

"I'll pay!" Randy pulled out his twenty dollar bill and put it on the counter at the some time as Nat. The teen raised and eyebrow, "You don't have to pay, I was the one who brought you here."

"Yeah, but I feel like I owe you." Nat sighed. "I'm paying."

Randy shook his head, a stubborn look on his face. They looked at each other, daring the other to put their money.

Sae sighed and shook her head, pieces of hair falling from her messy bun. "Don't worry about paying. It's on the house."

The two teens stopped their staring contest and opened their mouths to protest. "Don't worry. I know what today is and I might of overheard something about my Nat getting asked out." Nat blushed again. "Thanks, Sae."

The old women winked. "Anything for you."

XXXXX

"Thanks for today..." Nat tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. That was when Randy noticed that she had bangs that always gave her a childlike face. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek. "I'll see you on Thursday?" Her hot breath hit his cheek making him gulp loudly.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Nat pulled back, her hand on the doorknob. She opened the door not before throwing Randy a wink. "You have ice cream on your nose." She went in, leaving Randy rubbing at his nose in embarrassment.

"I can't do it!"

Howard rolled his eyes and paused his game. "You waited at least four weeks to do this and now you're telling me you can't do it?! You already did the hard part."

Randy tugged at his red buttonup shirt in embarrassment. "I meant, I can't comb my hair..." Howard laughed. "You could have asked for help, shoob."

Howard stood up and walked over to Randy before jumping on his back and grabbed the comb. He tugged hard at the comb, forcing it to move and causing Randy to hiss in pain. "I would like to keep my hair!"

Howard smirked and tugged harder. "I know!" He pulled the comb out along with a chuck of hair. "My job is done." Randy rubbed his head. "Thanks for that!" Howard completely ignored the sarcasm and pushed his friend towards the door.

"The flowers you wanted me to get are on the counter!" He slammed the door on Randy's nose causing the purple haired boy to hiss in pain. The sounds of punching could be heard behind the door. "Okay..."

Randy looked at the clock next to his door and gasped. "I'm late!" He raced down the stairs and grabbed the flowers of the counter before throwing on the Ninja Mask and hopped onto the roofs of houses to get to Nat's.

He found her house and dropped down so that he was out of sight from anyone watching from their houses and pulled the mask off before walking up to the door and rung the doorbell.

He stuffed the mask in his pocket and whistled. "Daron! I thi-" A boy opened the door and narrowed his eyes. "You're not the pizza guy."

"I'm here to take Nat out." The boy rolled his eyes and widened the door. "Bratty Natty, your boyfriend is here!"

Nat sat up from the couch, her cheeks flushing. "Don't call me that, Smith!" She smacked the boy -Smith- in the back of the head. She put her hands over cheeks and waited for them to cool.

"Randy meet my cousin, Smith. Smith meet my date, Randy." Smith had dark chocolate brown hair and grey eyes.

Randy smiled at Nat. She was wearing a gray Mickey Mouse sweater that ended mid-thigh and jeggings with gray McKicks.

Randy pulled out the flowers from behind his back and handed them to Nat. "I got those for you..." She smiled brightly and walked back into the house, probably to put them in a vase.

Nat come back to the door, her wallet in her hand. "Tell Mom I'm going out!" She pulled Randy away from the door and down the steps. They heard a loud slam and jumped slightly.

"He doesn't like Norrisville..." Nat frowned, her eyes glazing over. "Why?" Nat shrugged than smiled.

"I'll race to the movies theaters!" She started to run causing Randy to shout in protest before starting to run also.

They came to the movies and stopped. "I won!" Nat looked at Randy, who was panting heavily. "You're not tired?" She laughed and shook her head.

Nat walked up the the ticket stand (I don't know what it's called...) and looked at the movies. "Want to watch Muppets or Maleficent?" She glanced at Randy, who was still huffing and puffing like the Big Bad Wolf.

"You need to work out more." She looked back at the teen behind the counter. "Two adult tickets to Maleficent." The girl nodded.

"That will be $18.50." Nat nodded and pulled out her wallet. She pulled a twenty dollar bill out as something else fell out. She blushed as Randy walked up to her side. She covered his eyes with one hand and slipped the item into her shoes.

The girl that was getting their tickets laughed. "Siblings?" Nat nodded, too embarrassed to say anything. "Thanks..." Pulling her hand away from his face, she grabbed the tickets and rushed into the theaters.

Randy chased after her. "You okay?" She smiled. "I'm peachy!" She walked up to the ticket ripper and handed him their tickets. "It was just a prank, a very embarrassing prank..."

"Will you tell me about?" Nat walked to the food counter. "Yeah," Randy raised an eyebrow. "Later." He pouted.

"A pack of gummy bears, a small popcorn, a sprite and..." She looked towards Randy, asking a silent question. "...McSquiddles." He looked at the menu, nodding to himself.

"That's will be $5.00." Randy pulled out a five dollar bill and gave it the guy behind the counter. The guy went to get their snacks so Nat and Randy were left alone.

"So..." He squinted his eyes like he was trying to read her from a distance. "Want to talk about the prank?"

Nat laughed and took the snacks from the guy behind the counter.

"Um, no."

XXXXX

"Tonight was great. Thanks." Nat tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, a crooked smile on her face. Randy smiled back. "I thought so too."

Nat leaned forward and connected their lips in a kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and played with his hair while he placed his hands on her waist, running his hand up and down her spine. He pulled her closer before letting her go to take a breath.

"Wow, that was something." Nat shivered and ran a hand through her hair. "Do you want to hear about the prank?" Randy nodded, curiosity clouding his face.

She pulled something out of her shoe and placed it in his hand. "My older brother and sister like to pull small but embarrassing pranks on me." Randy looked into his hands in blushed. "Is this..."

"A condom? Yes."

"Where did they even get this?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Probably got it from a gas station." How is she so calm about this?

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow?" Randy nodded and handed the condom back. "Sorry if that was awkward..."

Randy rubbed his head. "Well it was going to be awkward but it wasn't that bad." She smiled and leaned to kiss him again.

XXXXX

"So, how was it?" Nat raised an eyebrow before pointing at Daron and Darla. "You two know exactly how it went when you planted this-" She tossed the condom at them. "In my wallet."

The two burst out laughing. "It's not funny! I was so embarrassed!" She threw herself in between them, who were still laughing their butts off. "That's the whole point!" Darla managed to say between laughs.

She rolled her eyes, Alex walked in with their one-year-old cousin. "Will you shut up? I'm trying to put Khloé to sleep!" Adam walked in after that with a bottle that was labeled 'Khloé'.

"I'll shut up when you two stop playing video games at four in the morning!" Daron yelled. Nat sat up and grabbed Khloé, who was yelling her little head off.

"What's wrong, baby?" She rocked the baby gently. Khloé was still crying but not as hard as before. She walked into a room where there was a piano and a crib. Nat placed Khloé in the crib and gave her the bottle sitting next to her bear.

"I need to tell you that I haven't played since I was eleven..." She sat down on the bench in front of piano.

(Shouldn't Come Back by Demi Lovato)

See you calling again

I don't wanna pick up, no-oh

I've been laying in bed

Probably thinking too much, oh-oh

Sorry I'm not sorry for the times

I don't reply, you know the reason why

Maybe you shouldn't come back

Maybe you shouldn't come back to me

Tired of being so sad,

Tired of getting so mad, baby

Stop right now,

You'll only let me down, oh-oh

Maybe you shouldn't come back

Maybe you shouldn't come back to me

Trying not to forget,

Should be easier than this oh-oh

And all the birthdays you've missed

I was only a kid oh-oh

Sorry I'm not sorry for the times

I don't reply,

You know the reason why

Maybe you shouldn't come back

Maybe you shouldn't come back to me

Tired of being so sad,

Tired of getting so mad, baby

Stop right now,

You'll only let me down, oh-oh

Maybe you shouldn't come back

Maybe you shouldn't come back to me

To me

Sorry I'm not sorry for the times

Maybe you shouldn't come back

Maybe you shouldn't come back to me

Tired of being so sad,

I'm tired of getting so mad, baby

Stop right now,

You'll only let me down, oh-oh

Maybe you shouldn't come back

Maybe you shouldn't come back to me

Maybe you shouldn't come back to me

Nat put her head on the piano, taking deep breaths. She rubbed at her eyes and got up, quietly. She looked into the crib and saw Khloé sleeping, a trail of milk running down her chin.

She leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Sleep well." Nat straighten and headed towards the door. She closed the door quietly and saw her siblings laying next to the door. "He really is changing you."

Nat sat down in front of all of them. "It was only one date. We can't prove that right away." Adam looked at her. "You haven't played since we-" He pointed at himself then Alex. "Were four. We can't even remember that well."

"Maybe it's just being back in Norrisville." Alex looked up as well. "We recorded it. Is that okay?" Nat smiled. "When have you ever done anything with my permission?"

She widened her arms. "Come give me a hug." The twins came and gave her a hug. "Don't ever think that as you get older I won't care as much. I love you guys as much as there is stars in the sky."

Nat ruffled their hair and looked at her older siblings. "I love you guys too. I looked up to you since I was old enough to understand what was going on."

"Who was that song about?" Nat looked at Daron, who was clenching his fist so hard that it was turning white. "Dad. The song was about Dad."

Darla got up. "Time to go to bed." The twins groaned before giving Nat a quick kiss on the cheek. "Why would you say Dad shouldn't come back?"

"Daron, it's been seven years! If Dad was going back he should have done it when I still cared!" She threw her hands up. "He doesn't care anymore! If he did, we would have gotten a call or at least a damn text!" Her voice was gradual raising and she noticed that.

"I'm going to bed." Her voice now a tense whisper.


The next chapter will have lots of Shadow, McFist, and the Sorcerer! I know that in the summary I mentioned that Nat will look and behave like one of Randy's and Howard's old best friends and the similarities will start in Chapter 13.

Shadow/Nat: You better do it!
