The ninja jumped up into the air and did a backflip to keep himself from being pierced by a robotic scorpion. Randy landed on his hands and had to push off of them to keep himself from faceplanting onto the roof. Oh yeah, Randy was fighting on a roof.

He was walking to school when a robotic scorpion started rampaging through the city. Considering he was walking near McFist industries, Randy wasn't surprised. Randy had jumped into an abandoned alley and put on the mask. Now Randy was fighting the robotic scorpion on top of a 15 story building. Suddenly his phone began to buzz.

Randy jumped to the side to avoid being killed. He answered it. "Howard, this better be important!" he said. Suddenly the scorpion swiped at Randy with its tail. From McFist industries, Viceroy and McFist were watching the ninja battle one of Viceroy's robots through a hold in the wall that the scorpion had left. McFist was impressed. "Viceroy, I think this might actually get the ninja!"

Viceroy beamed. "It wasn't even finished yet! I was still going to add a lot more deadly items!" he said, all giddy. They turned their attention back to the ninja. He seemed to be using a sai in one hand and had the other pressed to his ear. Randy was pure defense as he talked to Howard on the phone.

"Howard, what?!" he yelled into his phone. Back at school Howard was standing in front of the parts for the school's play. "Cunningham! It's about the school play!" Howard said. Randy rolled to the side as the robo-scorpion tried to slice him in half with one of its pinchers. Randy talked into the phone. "One sec, let me put you on hold..." Randy pressed a button and set his phone down. Howard waited for Randy to came back so he get the urgent news out.

Randy grabbed a second sai out of who knows where and charged at the scorpion. With his left hand defended himself from the scorpion's attacks and the other he used to try and get a stab at the robot. Sparks flew from Randy's sai as it clashed against the robo scorpion's body. Suddenly it pinned Randy to the ground.

The scorpion raised its stinger, ready to stab Randy in the face. He wriggled under the robot. Nope, not going to die! he thought. Randy lifted his leg up and kicked the scorpion in the abdomen, sending it flying back. The robo-scorpion landed on its back, and Randy ran towards it and did an unnecessary flip in the air.

"Ninja foot spikes!" he yelled. The bottom of his feet then grew spikes in them and Randy landed on the robot's abdomen, defeating it.

From McFist industries McFist and Viceroy watched the ninja defeat yet another one of their (well, actually just Viceroy's) robots. McFist took his shoe off and threw it at the roof where the ninja was. "GAAAH!" he yelled. "WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE A ROBOT THAT WILL KILL HIM ALREADY?!" McFist yelled at Viceroy. Viceroy lifted his hands up in defense.

"Hey, this time it wasn't my fault..." he began. "One of the robo apes accidentally set it free before I could program and update it..." he said. McFist took off his other shoes and threw it at the nearest robo ape's head. Unfortunately for the robo ape, it was over a pit of acid and fell into it. McFist then stormed off. Viceroy looked at the burning robo ape. That's cold...

Randy had grabbed his phone and jumped off of the building and into the alley where he had left his stuff. He changed back into 'Randy' and walked to school. He then went back to Howard. "Okay so what's so important about the school play?" he asked. On the other end Howard cringed. "Remember when we fooling around last week with on the stage?" he asked. Randy thought back to last week.

(F)(L)(A)(S)(H)(B)(A)(C)(K)

Randy and Howard were at school playing around on the school's stage. Recently the tryouts for the school's play that year: Alice in Wonderland, had been held because the scripts and props were still lying around. Randy got onto the stage and looked over to his left. His face lit up. "Hey Howard! Check this out!" he said. Randy walked over to an electric guitar he saw laying on the ground. He walked over to a amplifier and plugged it in.

Just as Randy had plugged it in, the drama teacher, Miss Rin walked in. She was coming on her lunch break when she saw Randy plug in the guitar. She looked down at her watch. "Pfft! I ain't on work right now, so..." she sat down in one the chairs in the back where she couldn't be spotted. Randy strummed a few strings on the guitar. He then began to play.

"Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time

and turning all against one is an art that's hard to teach..."

Ms. Rin sat up in her seat. She was 22 so she knew how that song was supposed to go, and so far that Cunningham was doing it perfectly...

"Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd

and as you step back in the line, a mob jumps to their feet..."

at this part, Ms. Rin held her breath. She knew the next words and she didn't want to have to get Randy into trouble...

"Now dance sucker dance,

man he never had a chance" Ms. Rin sighed a leaned back in her chair.

"And no one even knew, it was really only you

And now you steal away...

take him out today...

nice work you did,

you're gonna go far kid" Randy sang. He played the next three notes but then stopped when he noticed something under his foot. It was some of the lines in the play.

Randy picked them up and set the guitar down on its stand. Ms. Rin saw what he was looking at and sat up. She smiled. Well Randy... she thought. You can sing...can you act? she thought with a smile.

Randy laughed and looked at Howard. "Hey Howard!" Randy turned around, away from Howard (and Mr. Rin) and began talking in a sort of, crazy yet wise way.

"There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger..." Randy said while walking. He had his head down as he walked over to an old chair with a hat on it. "Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter..." Randy then picked up the top hat and put it on his head as he slowly turned around. He had an insane look on his face, as if he was going to kill you and dance with your corpse for fun.

"Which luckily I am..." he said with a gleam in his eye.

Howard started laughing. "Aw, Cunningham that was great! You were just like Mr. Scary Hat guy!" he said laughing. Randy kept the hat on and began to laugh too. "I was the Mad Hatter!" he said wiping away a tear as he laughed.

"Randy Cunningham, as the Mad Hatter?"

"Yeah! Me, Randy Cunningham! As the Mad Hatter!" they were both cracking up.

Just then they heard someone slowly clap from behind them. Randy grabbed his hat and turned around.

Ms. Rin was smiling as she clapped, she was also walking down the steps towards them. Randy paled. "M-Ms. Rin!" he exclaimed. He took the hat off and hid behind his back. "H-how long have you been there?" he asked. Ms. Rin smiled a friendly smile. "Long enough..." she said.

Howard got up and motioned for Randy to follow him. "Sorry for the disturbance Ms. Rin, won't happen again..." he said as he tried to escape. Ms. Rin grabbed Howard by the ear. "Hoh, you're not going anywhere!" she said. The two freshman cringed. Mr. Rin took a step towards Randy. "Auditions for the school play were from 11 to 2..." she said.

The drama teacher then looked at her watch. "And what you just did was sing and act, and look!" she showed her watch to Randy. "It's still 12..." Randy gulped. "So uh...what?" Ms. Rin smiled. "You did everything you would have to do in order to try out for the school play..."

Randy's eyes widened. "Uh, but you see..." Ms. Rin cut him off. "Ah! No!" she then took the hat from Randy and placed it on his head. "The deal is sealed. You have auditioned for the school play..." Randy protested as Howard started snickering. "B-but I..." suddenly the bell rang.

Ms. Rin turned to Randy. "Ah, ah! Shouldn't you be getting to class?"

And with that, Randy had auditioned in the school play as The Mad Hatter...

(E)(N)(D) (O)(F) (F)(L)(A)(S)(H)(B)(A)(C)(K)

Randy's eyes widened. "Oh shit..." he then sprinted the rest of the way to school. When he had arrived people were still at the board looking who got what. Randy pushed to the front of the crowd. He looked at the board and felt as if he was going to throw up.

There on the board, in black and white was:

The Mad Hatter: Randy Cunningham

Randy paled.

Dammit...
