Angel: Pretty soon it'll be September and then I'll finally be able to go back to my Big Hero 6 series! *squealing happily* I wish they kept it to 22-minute episodes, but I'm still excited!
Domino's gave me pepperoni in my pasta last week, and if you guys know me, you know that I HATE pepperoni. So now they're gonna give me free food next time I order, yaaas! *waves arms in the air*
I heard that Powerpuff Girls is supposed to get...a live action series. Yes, another show even though we already went through the train-wreck from 2016. Once again, the creator is not involved, and the girls are supposed to be in their 20s. Not sure how I feel about it, since I don't know, I was fine with the original? XD
The cafeteria is full of cheese everywhere. The janitor is helping to remove a cart off the lunch lady. Some students are actually stuck in the ceiling. "Mr. Weinerman, how in the name of industrial food service, did you single-handedly perpetrate the worst caf-atastrophe since the meat slide of '02?"
"I'd be happy to explain," Howard smiles nervously, holding a tray over his head. His arms are covered in cheese, some of it already in his hair. "And once you've heard me out, I think you'll agree, this was not my fault."
The tray slides off his head just as Randy arrives with Amy in tow. "Sorry sir, just one moment," He whispers, taking off his jacket. He steps over to Amy and holds it above their heads as a makeshift umbrella. She stares up at him in surprise before she smiles at the gesture. "What part of 'while you're up there, could you get me some extra cheese' led to this?"
"I admit, it was an unlikely series of events," He starts off. "But check it, I'm about to drop an awesome excuse on Slimmers."
"Oh boy, here we go," Amy slightly rolls her eyes.
"You've done epic damage here. Like, more than usual," Randy points out. "I think it's safer if I handled this one."
"But my excuse!" Howard protests, Randy shushing him with his finger, tsking.
"Trust me, trust me!"
"I don't know..." Amy glances at Howard. "Since this is you we're talking about, I doubt you could really explain this in a good way. But thanks for your jacket, Ran."
"Oh, y-you know, didn't want you to get cheese in your hair," He blushes bashfully, looking away. He clears his throat, turning to the principal. "Principal Slimovitz, Randy Cunningham for the defense."
Once he's done, he's filled a whiteboard with formulas, shapes, and dimensions. "And I rest my case. You're welcome."
"How are you failing science?" Amy murmurs as she looks at the whiteboard. "Or Math, even?"
"Wow, I can't believe I was going to Howard a week's detention for that," The principal removes his glasses.
"The important thing is I showed up and explained everything," Randy gestures to himself boastfully. He smiles and so does Howard, giving him two thumbs up.
"Based solely on your explanation, and no other evidence, I'm sending Mr. Weinerman to Detention Island."
Their eyes widen at the verdict and Randy immediately grows defensive. "You can't send him to Detention Island."
"What's Detention Island?" Howard whispers to the two.
"I have no idea," Randy whispers back, and they glance at the brunette. She sweats a bit, rubbing the back of her neck.
"Well...how do I put this?"
"A former military prison?!" Howard and Randy both exclaim as they're all standing outside, a blimp arriving. Amy has a regrettable look on her face, frowning as she has her arms crossed. Her eyebrows are furrowed in a way that says she doesn't like this method at all.
"You're probably thinking, sending a bunch of kids to a former top-secret military prison to face punishments tailored to their crime sounds a teensy bit crazy," Slimovitz says casually, the wind blowing Amy's hair out of the bun. She holds the sides of her head as the brown hair goes flying to the right.
"Sounds a teensy ton-crazy," Howard points out.
"The school can afford this, but not Twirl Team?" Amy asks in disbelief. Just the island alone sounds out of the principal's pay-grade.
"But it's school board approved, so don't forget your sunscreen," Principal Slimovitz walks away from them. Howard shakes the two of them angrily.
"He was gonna give me a week's detention. A week!"
"Stoooop shaking meeee!" Amy pushes him off. "I didn't even do anything!" She adjusts her glasses, smoothing out her hair.
The door opens behind Howard and he walks up the stairs. "Next time you wanna help..." He turns around to his friends once he reaches the top. "DON'T HELP!" And with that, the door closes, Amy cringing at him.
"Howard doesn't mean that. I mean, he's saying it, but he doesn't mean it," Randy states to Amy.
"Are you sure about that?" Amy raises a brow skeptically. "I mean, he did sound pretty serious." A door opens nearby and Randy's eyes widen at it. He smiles and grabs Amy's hand, sneaking inside and closing the door. "Randy! What are we doing?" She asks incredibly.
"We're gonna help our friend!"
She sighs, facepalming at this. "Think about it. He's already here because of you. Do you really think he wants us there?"
"Yes!" He exclaims and she shakes her head in defeat. "Okay Ninja Nomicon, I may be partially or completely responsible for getting Howard into this mess. The question is, how do we get him out?" He opens up the book and gets shloomped in.
"It's official: my friends have no clue of what subtle means," Amy sighs slowly at Randy.
Randy shouts as he's falling, landing on his back. He sits up and snaps out of it, gasping at something up ahead. "Oh, it's a dragon!"
The dragon burns fire and he screams in alarm. The flames leave behind writing. "Let the warrior who holds the weapon fight the battle." He looks up as the flames move away to reveal four other ninjas. "Warriors."
The dragon turns around to face them, and it breathes fire once more. "Who's gonna fight him, huh? Which one of you guys? Mallet-guy, stabby-guy, sai-guy or I'm sorry, girl, or Arrow-man?" An arrow is fired at the dragon. "Arrow-man!" The arrow defeats the dragon. "That's it! Ames and I hold the weapons!"
He suddenly sits up once he's awake, slightly scaring Amy. "We're the warriors! We can't let Howard fight this battle. The Ninja and Kunoichi have to fight!"
"Let Howa-"
He pulls out his mask and transforms into the Ninja anyway. She sighs and reluctantly pulls out her mask, putting it on. The only reason why she's entertaining this is so that he can learn for himself...
The blimp flies across the map from a movie that Howard is watching. "Seen it," He uses the remote to flip through the channels. "Seen it...seen it."
The Ninjas peek out from the back, jumping out and landing on the island. The blimp comes to a stop, releasing Howard from a crate. He lands face-plant into the sand.
"That was a rough sanding!" Bucky walks up to him, chuckling. "Beach-zing!" He doesn't have his band hat on.
Howard stands up, spitting out sand. "Oh, Hensletter? How'd a shoob like you get detention?" He couldn't help but ask.
"I skipped science class to watch a daylight meteor shower," The blonde rubs his neck sheepishly. "It was a flock of geese, they pooped on me."
"Ha ha," Bash comes out of nowhere, laughing at Bucky. "He said geese."
"Bash is here. Sweet," Howard replies sarcastically, and he's honestly not surprised that Bash ended up here. Morgan walks up to the group. "Morgan is here. Sweet!" He smiles, standing next to her. She rolls her eyes, looking at her nails.
"Whatever."
"Welcome to Detention Island!" A jolly man in a sweater greets them, appearing out of nowhere as well. "I'm the Disciplinarian."
Bucky walks over to greet him, hand outstretched. "Pleased to meet you-" He falls flat on his face as the Disciplinarian is actually a hologram.
"Pshaw! He tried to shake hands with a movie," Bash teases him.
The Kunoichi and Ninja land on the ground, jumping onto a tree branch. They look up ahead to see the four students.
"You're all here because you got in trouble," The hologram appears again. "Oh, sad face. That's why I'm giving you the chance to redeem yourselves. This island has cooked up some challenges based on your oopsies!"
"This guy sounds way too happy about this," Kunoichi whispers to Ninja.
"I don't know, I kinda like it," Ninja shrugs at her.
"Skipping class," The Disciplinarian looks at Bucky first. The band boy looks towards the ground in shame. Then he looks to Morgan, shaking a finger. "Shaking your booty in a no-booty-shaking zone. Uh uh, no girl."
She just scoffs, the others snickering. The Disciplinarian places a hand on Bash's shoulder. "Cheating...at gym?!"
"How can you cheat at gym? Coach Green is literally insane," Kunoichi stares at Bash incredibly. "But Morgan, ah, I warned her."
"Wait a sec, you hang out with Morgan?" Ninja recoils back a bit, his eyes wide at her. Not that he's jealous, it's just that Morgan seems to only hang out with her dance crew. He's never even seen the two hanging out. And the girl hardly ever smiles.
"Not the time or the place to discuss this," She rolls her eyes.
"And causing a caf-atastrophe?" The hologram presses his face against Howard's. "Whatever the heck that is."
Howard tries to push him away, but he just disappears again. He materializes in front of them, gesturing to a skull farther down the island where the blimp is waiting. "Get to the air pad on Detention Mountain and that's it. You're done. Oh, and one other thing...I really hate cheaters. So don't do that, okay?"
Kunoichi sighs as she watches her partner stepping through the bushes. "You know, this place did used to be a top-secret military island, so they probably have-"
Ninja trips a wire from his foot and an alarm sounds. She rubs a temple.
"Booby traps..."
A robot tree comes to life, snatching Kunoichi nearby. "Hey!" The tree then grabs Ninja and slams the two in the middle of the group. The two land in a heap, Kunoichi laying across his stomach as her eyes swirl around. She snaps out of it and then it's awkward silence for a few seconds.
"...How's it going?"
"You smuggled ninjas onto the island with you?" The Disciplinarian gestures to the two, looking upset. Then his face turns into rage. "THAT'S CHEATING!"
He disappears and then reappears at the entrance to the punishments. "Cheaters get the maximum punishment. Welcome to Death-tention Island!"
A wall of fire emerges in front of them, lighting up torches. Once it's gone, so is the Disciplinarian as the entrance now looks deadly. Kunoichi crosses her arms, giving Ninja a deadpan look. She tried to tell him that this is Howard's punishment to deal with on his own, but no! He just had to sneak inside the blimp...
"You're not thinking about this the right way," Ninja explains to Howard as they're walking across an old, rickety bridge made of wood. "Now you have two-"
"Nope," Kunoichi interjects to him, holding her head up high. She was not taking credit for this.
"Okay, one Ninja to help you on Death-tention Island."
"If you two weren't here, it wouldn't be Death-tention Island!" Howard retorts back as they catch up with the others. In front of them is a formation, almost looking like a stage. "If you didn't wanna Kuno out in the first place, why did you?"
"Oh yeah, because Amy Smith went to Death-tention Island. Sure," She rolls her eyes. It's even a wonder that all of her tardies haven't caught up with her. Or even Randy for that matter. "And besides, I'm only here to help him," She points to her partner.
The Disciplinarian appears in front of them. "You skipped science, Bucky! Time for a make-up exam! And just to make sure you don't get any help..."
Bucky is suddenly lifted in the air thanks to a tall stack of rocks. "I'm not good with heights!" He whimpers slightly, the others shocked.
"Name the three main rocks found on this island," The hologram challenges him.
"I should know it now..." He hugs the base, thinking.
"He's gonna choke! We gotta help!" Ninja turns to the Kunoichi.
"Let him handle this," Howard rolls his eyes.
"This isn't your fight, Ninj. He's gotta tough it out on his own. Otherwise he won't learn," Kunoichi looks up at Bucky.
"But Ninja Nomicon says I have the weapons, I fight the battles," Ninja moves away from them, Howard grunting at him.
"There are some things the Ninja can step away from!" Kunoichi grunts in defeat, following after him.
"You have five seconds," Disciplinarian holds up five fingers.
"I know this..." Bucky murmurs, looking around. Ninja's scarf wraps around the rocks and Ninja lands on the side.
"Allow me, befuddled student. The three main rocks on this island are..." He throws 3 Ninja rings at the hologram. "Ninja ring, ninja ring, ninja ring!"
"No, wait!" Kunoichi calls out, letting out her hair and throwing it at the rings, but she's too late as they go right past it. Her hair also hits him by accident and she gasps. "Ohh...you see, I didn't mean to do that..."
"Ha! He tried to ninja ring a movie," Bash points at him.
"Guys, I warned you about cheating," Disciplinarian has a disappointed look on his face again.
"I-I wasn't trying to cheat, that was an accident!" Kunoichi stammers, holding her hair in her hands.
"YOU FAIL!" He has another look of rage. He turns into static and zips right past all of them, taking out the bridge that got them there. Then he takes out the pillar that they're standing on, causing it to topple, sending everyone falling to certain doom.
"Ninja Classmate save!" He wraps the end of his scarf to a tree while Kunoichi throws her hair, grabbing the same tree with it. She grabs her hair and slides to a stop, her hands burning by how tightly she was holding it. With Ninja's sash, he has all of the students safe. "Whoo! It's a close one, right guys?" Ninja asks all of them sheepishly, his partner giving him a tiny glare.
Kunoichi sighs as she's tying up her long hair behind her back into a braid, her arms behind her head. She and Ninja are leading the way and she turns to him.
"Are you trying to get us all killed?" She hisses at her partner. Then she's suddenly jerked backwards, turning around to Bucky, who stepped on her hair.
"Oops. Sorry, Kunoichi."
He steps away and she snatches her hair back. "Nomicon said let the warrior who holds the weapon fight the battle," Ninja explains to her. She continues weaving through her hair.
"Are you sure it was talking about us?" She asks, finally finishing with her hair as it's back in her scorpion-like braid.
"Who else?" He asks her and she rolls her eyes. They follow the path which leads them to a cave, and it's the most scariest one Kunoichi has ever seen. Everyone shouts in alarm, ducking from bats flying out of it. "Something bad is about to happen..."
They walk inside and she sees an organ. "What was your first clue? Cave? Bats? Scary organ music?" Howard asks him sarcastically.
The blue floating head of the Disciplinarian appears above their heads, stopping them in their tracks. "Hey, look who it is! The cheaters. Morgan, for unauthorized booty shaking, we were going to have a little dance off. You know, teach you a lesson, get some exercise...but since you can't help cheating, you're going to dance for your life!"
The head multiples and then spins around, surrounding the group. "Welcome to my Rave Cave."
"Match my moves while I drop that beat."
"One wrong step and you'll be flat."
"B-flat," Bucky laughs at the pun. "Musical zing!"
"Ugh," Kunoichi facepalms herself. The floating heads then join together to form the Disciplinarian again.
"Private Beats! Drop it like it's hot!" Some flames flash behind him before a large DJ robot appears from the ground, along with some lighting.
"Don't worry, I'll save you!" Ninja declares, Kunoichi stopping him.
"Please, I so got this. I was born on a dance floor," She steps forward, snapping her fingers. "Literally." Then the floor sinks around her, the Disciplinarian, and the robot, everyone looking over the edge. The robot plays dance music and the hologram dances on yellow squares with each step.
Morgan has pink squares. "Turn around and snap it." She follows the Disciplinarian's exact moves. He points to the robot, who speeds up the music. The hologram dances even faster, but this does nothing to stop Morgan from matching his moves.
The Disciplinarian growls, telling the robot to increase the music even further.
Morgan tries to keep up, the others watching in anticipation. She makes a wrong move, a red square buzzing. All of the squares around her turn red.
"I gotta get in there," Ninja leaps into the ring, only to be pulled back by the scarf by his friends.
"This is Morgan's punishment. Let her handle it," Howard gestures to the teenager.
"What good is the Ninja gonna do this time around?" Kunoichi places a hand on her hip. "He'll just make things worse since it's cheating!"
"Okay, I would and Kuno, you have a point...but as holder of the weapon I must fight this battle," He pulls out his sword, jumping onto the dance floor. Kunoichi sighs wearily at him. "Let me take a stab at it!" He leaps into the air. "Ninja Private B-Flat!" He cuts the DJ robot in half.
"CHEATER!" The Disciplinarian loses it and the cave shakes violently, causing Howard to gasp. Stalactites fall from the ceiling, Morgan and Ninja running. They jump towards the others, who are trying to avoid the failing rocks.
"Ninja Air Fist!" Ninja hits a rock with it, creating an opening nearby. "Everyone, quick! Squeeze through my crack!"
"Out of my way!" Bash runs up to him. "I'm the first one in the crack!" He dives past the Ninja.
"I'm not touching that zing," Bucky crawls through the hole, Morgan diving after him. Howard and Kunoichi follow before Ninja has to push them out. The three tumble on the ground. Ninja removes himself from the pile and lands on a rock.
"I'm putting that one in the win column. Who's with me?"
Kunoichi simply places a hand on her cheek, tapping her fingers against the dirt with the other as Howard is sitting on her back. The others look at him in disbelief.
"I hate to even suggest this," Bucky speaks up first. "But are you trying to kill us?!"
"That's what I've been wondering all day. And get off!" Kunoichi pushes Howard off her.
"I'm the Ninja. I help you," Ninja still doesn't understand the issue. "You. Perhaps you could explain to your friends how awesome I am," He looks to Howard for help.
"Oh, no. I'm with them," Howard points to the others. "Your help got me here in the first place." He walks off with the others.
"But I have the weapons. I mean, look at 'em! I got a sword, I got a sai! I got a this thing!" He pulls out what kind of looks like a chainsaw with spikes. "I don't even know what this thing is. What the juice? I'm doing exactly what the Nomicon said."
"Maybe we should just leave them to handle this themselves," Kunoichi stands up, crossing her arms.
Shouting is heard up ahead, getting their attention.
Laughing is heard from the holographic head as he's surrounded by fire. Ninja jumps and lands behind the students. "What's going on here?"
"Well, Bash was going to have to shoot an arrow at a target, but since you've been 'helping us', Captain Punishment decided to do this!" Howard points at the Disciplinarian. A ring of fire surrounds the ground, with seemingly no escape.
"Hey! I'm having an idea!" Bash suddenly exclaims.
"Bash, please, I'll handle this."
"No! I wanna hear Bash's idea," Howard gets into his face. "Why can't you just let people do what they're good at?"
"Is it so hard to let people do things for themselves?" Kunoichi stands in front of Ninja.
"But the Nomicon told me to help you. It said let the warrior who holds the weapon fight the battle."
"No..." His partner sighs a bit. She didn't even read her own book, and she knew what that meant. A circle doodle appears around each student.
"Oh, you are the warriors. You all held the weapons. I should've let you fight your own battles."
"Eh, third time's the charm," Kunoichi smiles as he finally understands.
"Okay, Bash, what's your idea?"
He gets a confused look on his face. "Oh, I lost it!" He hits himself on the head. "No, wait, I found it. It was right here in my thinking muscle the whole time!"
"You mean your—oh, let's just get this over with," Kunoichi shakes her head.
A few minutes later, they've tied a vine between trees to make a make-shift slingshot. "I don't wanna do this," Bucky begs as Bash is holding him.
"Let's ask the expert. Kuno, will this young boy survive?" Ninja turns to the girl.
"I can easily concur that he will...with a chance of 50 percent if we miss, okay let's go!" She says the last part quickly.
"Wait, what?" Bucky asks in alarm as Ninja places a coconut helmet over his head.
"Re-thinking things up!" Bash gets behind Morgan and pulls back on the vine. "A little bit this way...now back that away. Just a skosh! Perfect! Fire!"
They release the vine and Bucky goes flying through. He hits a palm tree and it tilts over, making a bridge to land.
"I'm a hero!" Bucky cheers as the others run past him.
"Noble warrior, we are saved thanks to your plan," Ninja states to Bash.
"What plan? I just wanted to launch a nerd!" He picks up Bucky by the back of his shirt. "He really flew, didn't he?"
After getting through the jungle, Ninja jumps across to a cliff. He helps out Bucky and Morgan while Kunoichi throws her hair to Howard and Bash. They grab on and she flicks her wrist, the two boys landing behind her.
"We made it! Hurray!" Bucky exclaims happily.
"That was intense," Morgan states and Kunoichi couldn't help but agree.
"Everybody to the dirigible!" Ninja points to the blimp up ahead.
"No!" The Disciplinarian steps in front of them. "Cheaters don't leave the island."
"Relax, he's only a hologram," Ninja says to the shocked classmates.
"CHEATER!" The Disciplinarian shouts before extending his fist, smashing him into a rock.
"Oh my god!" Kunoichi runs up to her partner in concern.
"No. No, he's a robot. He is all robot," He slides down onto the rock.
"This one hasn't been punished yet," The robot grabs Howard.
"I wanna argue this whole day's been one big punishment," Howard states, looking afraid.
"We hold the weapon. We fight the battle!" Ninja pulls out his sword. Kunoichi swiftly pulls out her fans. "Ninja Arm Slice!" He jumps forward and slices off the arm holding Howard. "Howard, run!" He runs past the robot screaming. "Time to punish the Disciplinarian."
"Huh. That was actually a good one," Kunoichi turns to him with a smile and he grins proudly.
"Like it?"
The robot's tie turns into a sword. The two jump into the air, clashing weapons with it. They jump back and land on a rock. "Ninja dodge!" He jumps over the sword, and the ground starts to shake. Kunoichi looks up ahead as lava shoots up from the skull near the blimp.
The giant robot throws his sword at the duo. "Dodge!" They jump in opposite directions. The robot flings its fist forward, pinning Ninja down towards the lava. "Uh oh."
Kunoichi whistles from behind, getting its attention. Her fans are sparking with electricity as Ninja dips his sword in lava.
"Eat hot sparks!" He flings the lava into the mouth while Kunoichi throws her fans. They fly in front of the robot and then come back around, slicing off the arm. She temporarily shocks it for a distraction. Kunoichi swiftly unties her hair and flings it forward. "Kuno, thank you for letting down your hair!"
"Okay, we both know I'm not Rapunzel," She shakes her head. "Hurry!" He sees the lava surrounding him and he grabs on. She tugs forward and he goes flying, landing in front of her. He picks up some of her hair while she takes the rest, running past the robot. He then skids to a stop and pokes the robot from behind. He turns around to see both of them.
"Detention is dunzo."
They both punch him in the face.
"I just got a call from EPS saying you destroyed Detention Island!" Principal Slimovitz runs up to the students angrily as they're covered in soot. "You're all in a lot of trouble!"
The three of them groan.
Randy pops up out of nowhere. "Why don't you take this one, Big H?"
Howard clears his throat. "Principal Slimovitz? Once you've heard me out, I think you'll agree this was not our fault.
5 minutes later
The principal lets out a laugh. "Wow! That was a lot of words you just said, and they've convinced me that none of this was your fault."
Everyone smiles before Bucky, Morgan, and Bash run off, cheering. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to cancel a lease on an island," He rubs his neck, walking off.
"Next time we get in trouble, I will definitely let you do the talking," Randy states to Amy's relief.
"Forget it. I'm not doing anything to get in trouble ever again," Howard denies just as Janitor Sundown arrives via a mower that's carrying a small trailer.
"Hey fellas, I gotta hit the can. Could you keep an eye on this barrel of pudding? Whatever you do, do not get it near the jet engine. Cool? Cool."
He walks away, the three watching him leave. Howard looks up at Randy with a smirk.
"See you in detention?"
"See you in detention."
"I'm not sticking around for this one," Amy walks off to go home. And just a few seconds later, a pudding explosion occurs...
"Since when did you start hanging out with Morgan and not telling us?" Howard points at his phone accusingly as he and Randy are walking home from detention. Amy rolls her eyes as she's reading one of her recipe books.
"We don't even hang out as much for us to be good friends, Howard," She shakes her head.
"She's an upperclassman! You know what that means? It means upperclassmen cred!" Howard exclaims into the phone and she covers an ear out of irritation.
"I can't give you any! I don't even have it," She gestures to herself.
"And whose fault is that? Yours!"
She rubs a temple out of annoyance. Howard may be a good friend at times, but sometimes he can be an absolute, irresponsible jerk.
Randy snatches Howard's phone. "Hey!"
"So whatcha cooking?" He asks her casually.
"Chicken parm, but I'd prefer it if you don't tell Howard. Remember the last time I told him I was cooking food? My kitchen still smells like his farts."
"Yo, that's cool, baby," Randy grins smugly before realizing what he said. "I-I meant the food, not the farts. I mean-"
Howard takes his phone. "See ya later with our dinner, Smith."
"I'm not-"
He hangs up and puts it back in his pocket. "So when are you gonna ask her out?"
Randy blushes deeply, freezing in place. "Ah! I...don't know what you mean," He rubs his neck.
"You know what I mean," Howard gives him an annoyed look. "You've known about her being the Kunoichi and she's known about you being the Ninja for weeks now. How much longer do I have to watch you wonk it up as usual?"
"It's...complicated," Randy puts his hands in his pockets as they continue walking. "Howard, she's our best friend and my partner—while we're fighting McFist," He holds up a finger since he knows that the obese boy will say something out of jealousy if he didn't elaborate. "I don't want to risk my friendship with her or put her in danger if McFist finds out. If he does, he might kidnap her to get to me, and then what kind of friend would I be?"
"McFist this, danger that," Howard scoffs, waving it off. "This is why I don't watch romance. If you ask me, it's not even that big of a deal."
"It's a huge deal!" Randy exclaims to him. "And plus, now's kind of not a good time."
"Anytime is never a good time for you," Howard deadpans at the lanky boy. "How hard can it be? Just go up to her house and tell her yourself. Or better yet, I'll do it!" He walks right up to Amy's house, Randy having realized a bit too late that they were there.
"NO!" Randy tackles him onto the grass and Howard tries to push him off, reaching towards the house.
"Just do it! Like ripping off a bandaid!"
"I will not!" Randy shouts at the boy as they struggle to either get near the door or away from it.
"Get off! Just tell her!"
"You will not knock on that door!"
As they're struggle, the porch light turns on, causing them to freeze in alarm. Amy opens up the door, wearing a light blue apron over her normal clothes. Her hair is out of the bun and into a low ponytail so as to not get into the ingredients. She's removed her glasses, Randy's eyes widening at her. Both of them felt like a deer in headlights as she stares at them.
"Umm...what are you guys doing?" She finally decides to ask.
"Ames! Ha ha," Randy laughs nervously, standing up with his hands behind his back. "What are we doing, you ask? We are...wrestling!"
"...Outside my house?"
"Your grass is, uh...really soft! So that we don't get injured. I mean, safety first, right?" He smiles widely.
"He came here to tell you-"
Randy covers Howard's mouth, glaring at him. "To tell you goodnight like good friends do!"
"But it's not even nighttime," She raises a brow.
"We like to say it earlier! To give the ambience of a good night, see you tomorrow!" Randy runs off with Howard towards his house.
"Boys are weird," She shakes her head slowly, stepping inside the house and closing the door behind her.
