Angel: Yellowdrake26 has once again drawn art of Amy (but this time with Randy!) So please go check it out, because it's really cute! I didn't even know it existed and yet this was drawn almost two weeks ago XD I'm pretty sure you can find it underneath all deviations from her profile. It's only a matter of time before I see a Ninja and Kunoichi drawing for this story!

Howard wraps around black wrapping around his hands, clenching them. Randy makes some red punching gloves, putting mud on his face while putting on boots.

"Howard, this is the greatest night of our lives," Randy smiles, punching the air. Randy's phone is leaned against the TV so that Amy can talk to them on speaker.

"Grave Puncher, the greatest video game since I don't know when," He pulls up the video game of the same name. "Has been made into a movie!" He smiles, holding up the game for the movie.

"Nothing will stop us from seeing the world premiere of Grave Puncher: The Movie," Howard smiles happily.

"IN 6-D!" they shout in unison, chortling as they have a fake fight. Randy bumps into the TV, causing it to tilt, but then they fix it.

"I'll see you guys at the theater, I'm in line getting snacks," Amy tells them. She's literally second in line at the movie theater with her phone at her ear.

"No fair you get snack bar privileges," Howard pouts towards the phone.

"Hey, when you guys get jobs and at the McFist-O-Plex, you can get snack bar privileges too."

There's a pause before all three of them burst into laughter. The chances of them getting jobs is unlikely.

"Meet you guys inside," Amy hangs up the phone. The door suddenly opens, letting light in. They whip around to see Heidi standing there.

"Would you Butt Punchers keep it down? I'm trying to study for my driver's test," She tells them with an annoyed look on her face.

"Which is why my colleague Randy and I will be taking in the midnight show of a certain cinema film that involves the mass punching of graves with our other colleague Amelia."

"It's Grave Puncher. They made it into a movie, and it is 6-D," Randy elaborates to Heidi.

"Are you crazy?" Heidi shakes her brother by the collar. "Mom and Dad would never let you go to a midnight movie, and neither would Amy's parents."

"Have you even met them?" Howard deadpans to her. "They're gone a lot for them to even care about her and what she does."

"Howard," Randy elbows him. "Not cool, I'm sure they still care."

"Then why did they give her permission?" Howard stares at him blankly, and Randy gives no answer. "And that's why we're going tonight, while they're out. Duh."

"Oh, no. No way," She narrows her eyes, holding the doorknob. "They left me in charge. Okay? I'm responsible. You and Mandy-"

"Randy. It's always been Randy," Randy interrupts her.

"Are not going to a midnight movie!"

"Yes, we are," Howard replies smugly to his best friend.

"No, you're not!" She screams, locking the door. His eyes widen as he zooms to the door, pulling at it. Even without the gloves he's wearing, he wouldn't manage to get through the locked door.

"Oh, man, the door's locked. We're trapped! We're not gonna get to see Grave Puncher-"

"Howard, chill," Randy shakes him to snap him out of it. "It's the only screening of GPTM 6-D in the world. We are gonna see that movie."

"But we're trapped in a maximum-security basement, almost below ground level," Howard starts freaking out again. "We'd have to escape without the guard discovering we're gone. We are totally shoobed!"

"Or are we?" Randy has a smug smirk on his face. "I think this situation calls for a little shloomp into the Ninja Nomicon," He opens up his book, falling onto the ground.

Amy's Kunoichi Nomicon flashes from her bag as she's about to step into the screening room. She sighs a bit, handing her snacks and soda to the usher.

"Hey Paul, hang onto this for me, please? And don't eat it."

"Sure thing, Amy!" He smiles as she gives a grateful smile, running into the girls' bathroom.

"This better be good..."

She opens her Nomicon and is shloomped into the book. "The Art of Escape," Randy reads the words. "Oh, bing. Go!"

"Heidi locked you in, didn't she?" Amy asks knowingly to him.

"How'd you know?" He raises a brow at her.

"She bragged a bit about how she was left in charge of two shoobs earlier," She giggles in amusement at his annoyed look.

They watch a doodle Ninja fall into a room, taking a bag. "Okay, bag. Making a dummy. Window. That's how you escape. Booyah, I got it," He brags before Amy looks up. Now she knows why she was asked into the book.

"Deceit often comes at a price. Oh, yeah, it does. The price of two tickets and a large poppy-corn!"

"Uh, no, I don't think that's what the book was getting at," Amy deadpans before they're brought back. The brunette sighs as she gets out of the bathroom. "Shoob," She shakes her head playfully, heading back to go get her seat.

Randy holds up a dummy head of his likeness, seeing Howard's, which doesn't look anything like him. They give each other a thumbs up, using a MP3 player to cue sleep farts. Then Howard pulls at the window near his bed, Randy simply pulling the latch. Then he pulls Howard out the window, sneaking past the practicing Heidi. She falls onto her back, and Howard laughs, Randy pulling him away. While running, Randy glances at Amy's house, noticing the empty driveway sadly. He definitely feels bad for her, but he couldn't ask her parents to just not do their jobs...

They stand in front of the movie theater, giving two thumbs up...but then it turns out that the movie is sold out.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Howard shouts in agony.

"Easy, boy. Movie hasn't started yet," Randy puts an arm around him.

"Right, right. I'll call Smith! She'll get us in," Howard pulls out his phone and is about to call when he remembers something. "Ohh...right, she's probably already turned off her phone..."

"We already know the Art of Escape. All we have to do is escape backwards. Manhole. I'll Ninja-out, then we'll sneak under the theater through the sewer, climb up the plumbing into the bathroom, hose off, de-suit, and boom! We are in!"

"...Or we could climb that ladder into that window," Howard glances behind them to see the ladder leading into an open window.

"Hmm. Yeah, no, we could...we could do that," Randy internally facepalms himself for not seeing it. He opens up the window, seeing the projector.

"Hey, boss, you okay?" Howard calls out from the ladder.

"I'm a Ninja. I think I can handle-" He slips from the trashcan he was standing on, bumping into the projector. A box of McSquiddles and a can of Atomic McFallout Slam land on the projector, causing a mess.

"Way to stuff the entry, Cunningham," Howard whispers to him from the window. "Why don't you make some more noise?"

"Hey, you just gonna stand here or you gonna help me clean this off?" The taller boy asks, rubbing his head.

"I'm just gonna stand here." He earns a glare in return. "Hey, you asked. Hurry up!" Howard watches Randy clean up the soda. "Watching you clean up those McSquiddles reminded me that I wanted you to buy me some McSquiddles," He leaves through the door.

Heidi walks up to the door of Howard's room to check in on them. She presses her ear to the door, opening it up to hear the sleep farts, both the dummy heads in bed.

She scoffs at this. "Gross." She's about to close the door when she sniffs the room, noticing no fart smell like usual. "Hmm. This room doesn't smell like sleep farts..." She opens up the door again, turning on the lights. She notices that the heads are made out of paper mache.

"HOWAAAAARD!"

The trailers are still playing as the boys step inside with popcorn and soda. They see that Amy has saved some spots for them with her food and her purse. Howard reaches out to her food, but she slaps his hand away.

"Get away from my stuff, you have your own," She looks at him in annoyance, pulling the food onto her lap.

"Thanks for saving us seats, Ames," Randy smiles at the girl, and she moves to the left-most seat. Randy sits next to her and Howard.

"Slappage," Howard holds up his hand, but Randy gasps sharply at something next to him. Amy turns to look at him as she can't see past his head. "Why'd you punch off the slap?"

"Something wrong, Ran?"

"Over there. Look over there!" Randy says in a high-pitched voice. Amy bites her lip to hold back a laugh, because he sounded a bit like a bird. She leans forward and looks past the boys to see McFist and Viceroy right next to Howard.

"Uh oh," Amy cringes at this.

"Let's just casually stand up and go find other seats," Randy is about to stand up.

"Forget it, Cunningham!" Howard stops him from moving further. "These were the last empty seats in the house. Deal with it. There's nowhere else to sit. What the juice, Smith, I thought you were gonna get good seats."

"I would have if it wasn't for him going into his Nomicon," She leans back in her seat, gesturing to Randy. Howard gives him a look and he smiles sheepishly. "Just be glad I even managed to save these seats at all. Some of these guys were wonk about me being a seat hog."

They slurp their sodas, Randy watching his enemy carefully. Amy sighs a bit, glancing at McFist uncomfortably.

"You feel that?" Viceroy leans forward to talk to his boss. "I just got chills."

"Why would I feel you get chills?" McFist asks sarcastically.

"Because chills is a side effect of my new 6-D McFist-O-Vision system. It uses the latest in laser-guided, cybernetic, holographic technology to create the ultimate cinematic experience," He opens up his thermos to pour himself some hot chocolate.

"I'll be the judge of that," McFist slightly glares at him.

"How'd you guys get in, anyway? These tickets were sold out by the time I got in," Amy whispers to Randy.

"We, uh, might have snuck in and then I made a mess of the projector," He whispers back, her eyes widening. "You could've gotten us tickets."

"I didn't because my boss said I couldn't withhold tickets for my friends. The only reason why I managed to get one is because of my employment here."

"Wait, so you've been getting free tickets for movies the whole time?!" Howard hisses at her. "That is cold, Smith. Cold."

"Did I use them until today? No," She replies back in a sassy way.

"Are your parents cool with you coming here?" Randy leans in a bit, getting her attention. He has a sympathetic look on his face. "I mean, if they do, that's cool, but..."

"I called, and all I got was their voicemail. Which is code for 'we don't mind if you go to a midnight movie at 14.' It's not like they're there to supervise me, anyway," She rolls her eyes.

"What about your grandpa?"

"You kidding? He's here too," She jerks a thumb to several rows back. She stands up slightly, waving to Mr. Smith. He waves back to her and she sits down.

"So...then how do you communicate?" Randy stares at her.

"Through McFist's receptionist. Nice robo-ape," She shrugs a little. "Helped me send a letter to them once during my first day of school. But in all seriousness, what'd you do to the projector?"

"I...may have spilled soda and Mcsquiddles all over it," Randy rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Ran! Man, I'm gonna have to check it out after the movie. Maybe I could fix it..." She rubs a temple. She was not about to get fired just because of them.

"I am not gonna let stupid Howard keep me from studying for my driver's test," Heidi is walking down the sidewalk towards the movie theater. "Coming to a complete stop," She stops at the intersection. "Check for oncoming traffic. Left signal, and we're moving."

"Ah, this is nice," Viceroy speaks up to McFist. "Us at the movies together."

McFist looks at their knees. "Your knee is touching my knee."

Viceroy looks up at him at him quizzically before the lights dim. The audience gasps and metal over-the shoulder restraints fall over everyone. Then the logo appears on the screen.

"Grave Puncher!" Randy and Howard both exclaim. "In 6-D!"

Amy smiles at the two, seeing the bird and graves appear. Her mouth opens in awe as the seats following the waving movements of the graves on-screen. Purple stuff is sprayed on them, Viceroy letting out a laugh.

"Did I tell you or did I tell you?"

The main character, Puncher, punches graves out of the ground and crawls out. "Ooh, there he is, there he is!" Viceroy points to the screen in excitement to a nervous-looking McFist.

"Puncher!" Randy shouts at the top of his lungs.

"I LOVE YOU, PUNCHER!" Howard screams as Amy shakes a fist.

"Whoo-hoo!"

"Ooo, here comes my favorite part," Viceroy claps eagerly. "Watch. Right-"

"Viceroy, if you don't stop talking, I'm gonna-"

The hologram of Puncher escapes the screen a bit to punch Viceroy and McFist. Viceroy laughs at the karma. "You just got 6-Ded. Hard."

Amy giggles to herself, glad that she managed to save these seats.

Puncher opens the gates to a cemetery, glaring at all the graves. "One of you tombstones killed my mama. You all gonna pay. With punches!"

Then he starts punching the grave, and gusts of wind follow as the graves fly out of the screen. It's so strong that Amy's glasses fall out away from her face. She reaches up and catches the pair, putting them back on her face.

"So honkin' bruce!" Randy screams as his face is being stretched.

"Can't black out! Must watch awesome movie!" Howard tells himself. Unbeknownst to everyone, the soda drips into the wires of the projector. It starts to spark, and the projector sends a purple beam to the screen. Puncher punches more graves, but as soon as he punches the last one, he jumps out of the screen, looking at the amazed crowd.

Hologram Puncher stares at all the people. "Well, what do we have here?" To him, they're just regular looking graves. "A grave new world." He punches his hands. "To punch!" He punches a duo of people, and they're knocked to the side.

"Yow! That's some high-voltage punch-ocity!" The school janitor pumps his fists. A few other seats follow, and they're more excited than afraid.

"This movie's better than the video game," Randy gasps in awe, seeing Howard's beaming smile. Amy stares up at Puncher in concern, and she seems to be the only one to notice that he's no longer on the screen. "Puncher, over here! Punch me!" Randy gestures to himself.

"Jab! Jab! Bolo Punch!" He punches left and right. "Left. Right. In the mouth. In your face." They all end up to the side. "Jab, jab, jab!"

All the while, Puncher is laughing. Amy glances at all the seats that are flying away in concern. Miss Wickwacker and the lunch lady high five each other.

"I gotta hand it to you, Viceroy, this 6-D is blowin' my mind," McFist smiles, glancing at everyone. Viceroy has the same worried look as Amy does.

"Jab!" Hologram Puncher punches another pair of seats.

"Oh, no. This isn't 6-D. It's 7-D," His eyes widen in alarm.

"What the juice is 7-D?" McFist looks at him in confusion.

"It's the D that comes right after 6. Seven-D creates a tear in the fabric of space and time, allowing fictional characters to enter our world. And punch us!" He looks back to Puncher still punching away.

"You're telling me this thing's for real?" McFist points up ahead. The hologram Puncher punches at the supports from the ceiling.

"That look like special effects to you?" Viceroy points at the damage.

Puncher punches through the wall of the concession stand, the cashier there letting out a scream. "Make it stop punching my theater!" McFist screams in a panic.

"I would if I knew how. Something must have happened to the projector," Viceroy states and Randy, who overheard, looks towards Puncher. He punches away another duo of seats, which land right above the projector.

"Guys, the Puncher is real!" Amy whips around to Randy in shock. "And I think McSquiddling the projector made it happen. This is all our fault."

"We're in 7-D," Amy's eyes widen as she finally realizes why this is happening. "McSquiddling the projector created a tear in a fabric of space and time, and this results in...that," She points up ahead to Puncher.

"I don't care," Howard responds to them, causing Amy to glare. "This is the greatest motion picture of all time. Now stop talking."

Puncher is getting closer to them as he swings his arm, knocking a few more pairs of seats to the side. "I knew I should have gone to The Love that Never Loves!" Principal Slimovitz exclaims from his seat.

"Upper-cut! Body-pound!" Puncher goes up the row.

"He's coming. Get me outta this thing!" McFist pulls at his restraints as he doesn't wanna get punched.

"I am so conflicted. Our lives are in danger, but this may be my only chance to meet Brock Octane face-to-fist," Viceroy gestures to the real-life Puncher in front of them.

"GET ME OUT!" McFist screams as he doesn't care. The evil scientist presses a button to release everyone from their seats. The business man stands up and turns around to face the crowd. "Hello, I'm Hannibal McFist. Due to a technical glitch, the Puncher has come out of the movie and is on a rampage. No need to panic."

Everyone screams regardless, running away from their seats. Amy is about to jump out of her seat when Puncher raises a fist above her. She gasps sharply, getting Randy's attention.

"Oh no!" He shouts, rushing over once he sees the danger. He picks her up by the waist and runs off. Amy hugs his neck on instinct, her legs flying past Randy's as he picks up the pace. The Puncher punches the seat nearby. Randy puts the girl down once she's at a safe distance. "You okay, Ames?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," She pants slightly, hands resting on his chest. "Thanks."

Randy stares down at her and once she catches her breath, she looks up at him, a blush on her face. She could literally feel both of their hearts beating as they couldn't take their eyes off each other. Amy clears her throat, breaking the moment since they had something else to do.

"Um, Randy? Howard?" She speaks up and he blinks, snapping out of it.

"Y-Yeah, right. Right." He reluctantly lets go of her. They look up at Howard, who is still in his seat. "Howard! Get down."

"No! We risked everything to see this and I have to see how it ends," He denies, beaming at Puncher.

"It ends with you getting obliterated. Unless the Ninja and Kunoichi make a cameo," Randy grins, pulling out his mask. Amy does the same, running for a supply closet.

Heidi is just arriving at the movie theater, still practicing her driving. "Checking rearview mirror. Glancing over shoulder. Backing up." She backs up and stands in front of the doors, only to get trampled by the crowd exiting.

"Movie was halfway over," McFist calls out as he and Viceroy are running at the tail end. "No refunds!"

Heidi sits up, her hair a mess. She gasps as she sees the laughing Howard inside. "HOWARD! I am taking you home right-" Puncher punches Heidi out of the theater and she screams as she goes flying.

"Hey! Thanks, Grave Puncher!" Howard smiles up at him.

"Smoke bomb!" Ninja and Kunoichi appear on both sides of Howard's seat. "I gotta admit, Puncher, I'm kinda geekin' out right now."

He glances at Kunoichi, who has her arms crossed at him. He can't see her mouth, but he knows that it's a 'really' look, and also telling him to focus on the matter at hand. At least, in a more serious way than Howard is right now.

"Buuuut I have to fight you," He finishes nervously, not wanting his partner to give him that look anymore than she has already. Puncher stares at the two, and thinks of them as players of the game.

"Welcome to the party, Player 2 and 3. Prepare to get punched!" He punches both of them into opposite walls. Kunoichi falls on top of the seats, groaning in pain.

Ninja lands on top of the seats. "Clouds, wind, chicken...Ninja Air Fist!" He sends it flying, and it hits Puncher, causing him to land on his back. He rushes over and helps his partner up. They jump and land in front of the hologram, and he sits up. "Okay, that Air Fist shoulda worked."

"Um, I think we forgot one little detail," Kunoichi pinches two fingers together. "He's a hologram!"

"Yippey-ki-yay, other puncher!" He punches Ninja to the wall, and he lands underneath the projector. He goes for Kunoichi next, but she jumps over the fist, running up the arm and spinning around, kicking him across the face.

"Yeah! Kuno for the win!" Ninja cheers before Puncher grabs her braid, lifting her up.

"Oh man, I'm shoobed," She murmurs at this before the hologram spins her like a nunchuck. Kunoichi lets out a scream before throwing her across the room. She lands next to Ninja, slowly falling onto the ground, her eyes spinning. "Did you catch the number of the Puncher that spun me...?"

Ninja glares towards Puncher, leaping across the room and kicking him. "Ninja Roundhouse!"

The kick sends Puncher flying, and he goes through the theater screen, destroying it. Kunoichi is walking over to him, her head slowly spinning. "Bleh...so dizzy...my head."

"Good work, Kuno," He gently grabs her arm, putting it around his shoulders. He wraps an arm around her waist, letting her lean against him. Ninja hums triumphantly at Puncher, but then their opponent gets right back up. "Sheesh."

He steps out of the screen, punching his hands together. Kunoichi shakes her head, snapping herself out of it as she looks up at the hologram. Her eyes widen at him.

"Nothing's working," Ninja looks at his hands.

"Throw the Haymaker," Howard suggests to his friends, and they turn to look at him. "Trust me. I beat my best friends with that move all the time."

Kunoichi didn't know if he was saying casually to suggest it or to tick them off, but she's definitely not gonna let that slide. And neither was Ninja, apparently.

"The juice you do," Ninja points at him, turning around to Puncher. "One..."

"Two," Kunoichi glares up at the hologram, who rushes towards them.

"Three! Ninja Haymaker!" They jump over Puncher at the same time, kicking him at the back of his head. He stumbles a bit, but not enough to make him fall. He gets back up again.

"Now hit him with the-"

"We know," Ninja cuts him off. "I've only played the game a ka-trillion times."

"And I've seen you play it about ¾ of the time," Kunoichi turns to him in amusement. They jump away from a punch.

"Ninja jab!" Ninja throws his scarf, and it wraps itself around Puncher's eyes. He then throws multiple punches at the chest as Kunoichi does the same with a leg. "Ninja Hammer Fist! Ninja Upset Punch!" Kunoichi leaps into the air to join his side.

"Shovel Hook!" They exclaim in unison, throwing a strong punch to Puncher that sends him on his back. But once again it has no effect as he just gets back up again.

"Geez, is he running on Energizer batteries or something?" Kunoichi's eyes widen at him.

"I don't get it! That combo should have taken you straight to the bonus round," Howard calls out in confusion.

"Howard, get it through your head of the fact that this is actually real!" Kunoichi exclaims at him and he recoils back a bit in fear with wide eyes. "Sorry. It's just I'm gonna lose my job over this! And all because you messed up the projector." She gives Ninja a look.

"You also could've just gotten us tickets," Howard points out, earning an annoyed look from both Kunoichi and Ninja.

"According to McFist, extra tickets is extra money not being made, so sorry," Kunoichi retorts back, rolling her eyes.

The Puncher's body is flickering and some debris falls from the ceiling. She follows the trail to the projector. Ninja follows her gaze.

"Wait a minute," She murmurs quietly. "If McSquiddling the projector got you into this mess in the first place..."

"Deceit often comes at a price," Ninja remembers the lesson from earlier. "We caused the mess, Howard. We gotta pay the price. We have to destroy the projector!"

"I'm proud of you," Kunoichi smiles slightly at him, hands on her hips.

"But that's the only 6-D version of Grave Puncher: The Movie in existence!" Howard protests to them.

"Well, you should've thought of that before sneaking in!" Kunoichi throws up her hands in exasperation.

"But you should've gotten us tickets in the fir-"

"I'll get you tickets to the next one, alright?!" She exclaims at him out of frustration. If she didn't, she'll never hear the end of it from Howard. At the back of her mind, she wished that she got a different job...

"It's the price we have to pay," Ninja says regrettably. Puncher steps in front of the two.

"There can be only one puncher!"

"That's what you think!" Kunoichi points up at him, the two powering up.

"Ninja Tengu Fire Ball!"

"Kunoichi Tengu Lightning Strike!" She fires a rod of lightning, her suit turning yellow and black.

"Noooo!" Howard cries out in horror as the projector gets fried by lightning first and then blown up by the fire.

A flash of white light appears, causing them to cover their eyes. Then when they open them, Puncher is gone.

"We did it!" Kunoichi smiles, holding out her fist. Ninja smiles, bumping her fist back. The team moment is then ruined by Howard, who dumps soda on the both of them.

"Hey!" They both shout in protest.

"That's for ruining the movie," Howard scolds them. Kunoichi glares at him, weaving through her wet hair. Then he pours another soda over her. "What the juice, Howard?! Why me and not him?" She gestures to her partner.

"And that one's for not getting us free tickets or buying me anything from the snack bar."

She grits her teeth behind the mask, and her hair comes to life, launching forward and grabbing Howard by the leg. It hangs him upside down so she can look at him in the eye.

"Are you done bringing that down on me?"

"Ah, yes, I'm done!" He cries out in fear. Her hair places him down and he lands on his back.

"Your hair is alive?" Ninja asks her as her braid falls back in place.

"What kind of—yeah, you didn't know?" She stares at him incredibly.

"No, I did not!" He holds his head in amazement, causing her to chuckle a little. "Okay, so how do you control it? Is it like a secret Kunoichi thing? How long is it again?"

Viceroy and McFist sneak back into the theater. "Seven-D," He mutters bitterly, pointing to Viceroy. "This is all your fault!"

"Oww!" The school janitor comes out of nowhere. "Best movie ever! I can't wait to fork over my hard-earned cash to see it again and again!" He runs off, but then comes back to make his point to them. "And again!"

"Seven-D," McFist grins at the thought of this being an advantage. "This was all my idea! Get the theater ready. We're trashin' it again tomorrow."

"But we can't-"

"Tomorrow!" McFist yells to Viceroy, a big smile on his face.

"Yes, sir," He stares at the man. Just another workload for him...

Howard and Randy sneak out the theater, but Heidi is waiting for them outside, having gotten herself up a few minutes ago. The two turn around and are face-to-face with the angry teenager.

"Howard Weinerman, you are so dead!"

Amy comes in behind them and cringes at the situation. "I'm sorry, Heidi. We're not here right now. We're at home sleep-farting in bed," Howard lies right to her face, pointing towards the direction of their house.

"Amy, you let them come? I thought you were my Biffer," Heidi frowns, gesturing to herself.

"I was under the impression that they got permission," Amy rubs the back of her neck awkwardly. "I didn't know they snuck out until later..."

Though, truth be told, she could see why would they would supervision. Or maybe just Howard.

Heidi's phone rings and she answers it. "Hello? Hey, Mom." She listens to her mother speak. "Yeah, I know he's not. They went to a midnight movie." Her expression changes to a frown. "I didn't let them! How is this my fault? That's not fair!"

Howard gasps, grinning up at his friends. "Well, Cunningham, Smith, another happy ending." He's just happy that he's not the one getting punished for this. Randy glances at Amy, who gestures her head to Heidi. It wasn't right for Heidi to be in trouble, since the boys were the one who snuck out in the first place. She was just trying to bring them back home.

"We can't let Heidi pay the price for our deceit," Randy walks up to her. He takes her phone and she glares at him for doing so. "Mrs. Weinerman, we snuck out. Well, Howard and I did, Amy had permission from her parents."

Howard holds his head in despair as Heidi stares at him in shock. "Heidi had nothing to do with this. This is Randy, by the way," He smiles a bit, Heidi placing a hand on his shoulder gratefully.

"Oh. Thanks, Sandy," She replies as he gives her the phone back.

"It's Randy, I just said it," Randy points out with a deadpan look on his face. Howard is glaring at him as Heidi smiles, listening to the mother.

"5, 4, 3, 2..." Howard is counting down, looking at his watch. "And ungrounded!"

"Stuck in my bedroom for a week," Randy looks at his TV, his eyes widened in horror. Howard and Amy are on a split screen. "That was the hardest time I've ever done. Ames, what's the worst time you've ever done?"

"Ooh," She glances away, rubbing her chin as she tries to think. "Well, I was a daddy's girl, and my grandpa loves me. But I did break one of his student's projects once when I was about 5. He punished me before my parents did. Whoo, I got stuck in my room for a total of 3 weeks! And that was what they could agree on, I was set for a month at least."

"Whoa," Randy blinks at her in shock.

"Hmm," Howard glances at her, crossing his arms. He looks at her up and down, shrugging. "I don't see it. You look more of a nicewad to get grounded."

"Oh, I have the marks to prove it," She crosses her arms with a smug smile on her face. "But I think we'd all get in more trouble if I show you where exactly. I'm just lucky that the movie came out on the weekend for my parents to really notice any red flags."

"So what happened with your job, then?" Randy raises a brow at her. "We didn't get you fired, did we?"

"Can we still get free tickets?" Howard has a puppy eye look on his face as they wait for her to explain. She looks at them with a smile from her face.

"Well, McFist was so happy with the earnings from the 7-D that my manager actually gave me a raise and the week off. And yes, I can get you free tickets now."

"Free tickets!" The two boys shout, pumping up their fists. She shakes her head in amusement. All of a sudden, both of them getting grounded was worth it.

Randy looks outside his window. The sun is shining and birds are chirping as it's a beautiful day out. A frisbee flies past his window. "So what do you guys wanna do now?"

"Hmm, wanna play more Grave Puncher?" Howard smiles eagerly.

"Allow me to answer that question with a question," Randy grabs his controller, pressing a button. Amy and Howard are on the corners of his TV as they start playing together in multiplayer mode.

"Who's ready to punch and roll!"

They all start punching graves with smiles on their faces.
