Angel: The next few episodes should be really fun if people out there like the Hanukkah episode and Snow-Klahoma. I know they were some of my favorites, so I did enjoy watching and then writing those. Yeah, it's kind of early to release those, but they had to be released eventually...

I'm working on two papers at the same time, and I have exams for the next few weeks. I won't spend ALL that time studying, but the papers are something that's important. So I won't be writing too much for anything while I'm doing that. I'll still be working on stuff, just not as often as I did before Thanksgiving. Maybe after I'm done with both papers, I'll go back to my normal pace? My exams are so far apart between days, I have 2 coming up and then 2 more weeks after those, I have 2 more-scheduling for exams at my school can get REALLY far into the months.

Anyway, hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving!

Ninja and Kunoichi are fighting on top of the Van Dam, jumping and dodging the enemy that they're facing. They skid to a stop, kicking the gargoyle. Ninja's holding the power ball as the gargoyle knocks them backwards, and they land on the platform. The ball rolls away from them and Ninja tries to grab it, only for the gargoyle to stop him by stepping on his scarf. Kunoichi reaches out for her hair, but the gargoyle smacks her hand away. The hair acts on its own and attacks the gargoyle, getting tangled up in the process.

"Can't let him get the ball!" Ninja groans from the ground as the gargoyle flies over their heads.

"Gotta get it back!" Kunoichi grunts as they take off into a run. The gargoyle crashes into the dam, creating a gap in it. The two run for the power ball, the gargoyle looking over his shoulder. They flip over the gap, continuing to run. The gargoyle dives towards them and they reach out to grab it, skidding to a stop right in front of the creature.

"Uh oh," They murmur in unison, turning right back around and running in the opposite direction. The gargoyle steps on his scarf and her hair that's still out, pulling them backwards into a heap. Ninja drops the power ball, and it rolls to a stop in front of the gargoyle. He grabs it with his mouth. They sit up with a gasp, seeing it in his mouth.

"Good job!" Howard appears out of nowhere, confusing Kunoichi since he was nowhere near them. "You let him get the ball!" She also sees a vending machine...?

"We didn't let him do anything," Kunoichi crosses her arms.

"Was that sarcastic?" Ninja calls out to him, not seeming to question anything right now.

"Did it sound sarcastic?" Howard shouts back, earning a deadpan look from both of them.

"Well, that sounded sarcastic."

The gargoyle screeches behind the two, getting their attention. They glance upwards, only to be knocked away by the gargoyle. They fall off the dam and Ninja hugs Kunoichi's waist with one arm, throwing his scarf. He grabs the left leg of the gargoyle, and they hang on as it flies around. Ninja tries to get closer, swinging around until he gets a hold of the leg. Kunoichi grabs the other one. He swings upwards while she stays behind, narrowing her eyes. He lands on top of the head, using the horns to steer. Kunoichi glances at a billboard, which is odd since there normally are no billboards at the dam...

Ninja steers the gargoyle into the wall next to them, and they skid along the rock before the gargoyle moves away. She glances down at the ground as Ninja has lost his grip and is now hanging on by a single horn. His fingers start to slip and her eyes widen as the toes slip as well.

"Out of options! We gotta destroy it!" Ninja calls out to her.

"Are you crazy?!" Kunoichi shouts in disbelief. "We don't know what could happen if we do that?"

"Do you have any other ideas?" He retorts back as she's about to fall, and unfortunately she did not. If that power ball ended up in his hands, who knows what the gargoyle could do with it...and she didn't want to risk the world by finding that out.

"Fine..." She reaches into her suit, pulling out one of her tessens. "If I aim for right between the teeth..." She tosses the fan hard as Ninja thrusts his sai forward. The fan flies past him and comes back around, hitting the power ball dead on. It starts to glow and then there's a huge explosion, dragging them along with it as they scream.


Randy gasps in bed as he wakes up, breathing heavily.

Amy screams as she sits up in alarm, panting in fear. Her hair is tied up in a messy bun as she's wearing a white lace shirt, pink shorts, and white knee-length socks, the right one pulled up.

Randy looks up ahead to see Howard looking at him, holding some breakfast in his hand. "Bad dream?"

"The worst!" The taller boy sits up. "There's a Gargoyle—trying to get to the Sorcerer's Ball—where's Ames—and...stop," He holds up a hand, raising a hand. "Were you watching me sleep?"

"Oh, is that what you were doing?" Howard asks casually. "It was so weird. Eyes closed. Head on a pillow. Ha! Weirdo!"

"How do you sleep?" Randy questions skeptically.

"How should I know? I'm asleep," He starts climbing down the ladder. "Now come on. Game Hole won't play itself."

Randy jumps down from his bed, looking up ahead at his closet. He steps forward, pushing the clothes away. He moves away the Nomicon, seeing the power ball. He takes it into his hand.

"Better take this, just to be safe," He puts the power ball in his bag and runs off to go get changed. Then he lets out a gasp as he realizes that he has yet to do something.

"Ames!"


Frantic knocking is at her door and Amy rushes over. "I'm coming, I'm coming! Jeez, who would be knocking at this hour?"

She opens up the door and is immediately tackled by Randy. "Ames, you're okay!"

"Ow...well, I'm on the floor, so I'm not sure if I'm okay now."

He ignores his statement, talking so fast that she's not sure if she got it all. "Crazy dream, world destroyed, power ball, I was so worried-"

"Stop," She puts a finger to his lips and he looks down at her wide-eyed. "Now take a deep breath." He does so as she guides him. "Okay...clearly there's some panic going on or else we wouldn't be on the floor. So how about you let me go get changed and we can talk on the way to the Game Hole? Because I'm pretty sure that my butt's getting numb."


"So you destroyed the world?" Howard asks in disbelief as they arrive at the Game Hole. "That's what you went with?"

"What else could I do?" Randy questions back.

"I still can't believe that we had the exact same dream," Amy speaks up, raising a brow. She glances to the McBubbleburp vending machine, wondering when that got put there. "Maybe that was why we could get away with touching it and not being corrupted. But I'm still not sure if destroying the power ball was a good idea."

"Smith's right, seems like anything would have been better. Anything at all," Howard replies back and she blinks in shock.

"Something's off," Amy murmurs, glancing around. First she and Randy share a dream, which still doesn't make sense, and now Howard's admitting that she's right about something—out of his own will!

"Uh, the gargoyle had it in his mouth! A gargoyle, in his gargoyle mouth," Randy reiterates to Howard, stepping forward and getting a token from his pocket.

"I'm just sayin'. There's always options," Howard states as Randy walks towards a game, putting in the coin.

"Well, there really was nothing we could do to stop him in our dream. We couldn't exactly let him take the thing! Either way the world was doomed!" Amy gestures to outside, the conversation distracting her from reasoning what's different.

Howard joins his friend to play the two-player game. "Bandits on loose!" They start playing together as the game involves them being chased by bandits. They reach the top, putting a key in a hole attached to a box.

"You have turned key and jammed! Hole filled with ball!"

"Like that! You could'a hidden it in a hole!" Howard suggests to the hole. "If bandits can't get balls from holes, no one can!"

Amy steps up to Randy, the two glancing at each other skeptically. "Ooh! Great idea, Howard. Next time we have the exact same dream, we'll do that," Randy replies sarcastically.

"Pfft, like that'll ever happen," Amy scoffs and he turns back to play again, only for the ceiling to crash. A large moth monster appears in the Game Hole.

"Ninja time. Take the stick," Randy grabs the brunette's hand and runs off with her.

"You got it," Howard takes it and sags his shoulders once he's touching it. "Oh...it's all warm."

They jump behind the game shelf to transform, appearing in front of it as Ninja and Kunoichi. They look up at the moth creature before it sends them flying out the window. They land in a banana cart, knocking it over.

Ninja stands up and looks inside it. "Oh, thank ball." Kunoichi stands up, gasping sharply at the power ball inside.

"You had that with you the whole time?!" She flicks him on the forehead. "I thought you learned your lesson after taking it to Julian's birthday party!"

"Ow!" He rubs his head. "I had to, to keep it safe!"

"Oh, sure, this is safe," She gestures to the broken window. "I feel so protected right now."

"We're okay, don't worry, everybody," Ninja waves to the supposed crowd. "Everybody?" He sees that no one is around strangely. "Um...where is everybody?"

"Weird..." She glances around, usually there's always someone in Norrisville...

The moth crashes out of the Game Hole, flying around and grabbing him.

"Hey, that's my partner you snatched!" Kunoichi throws her hair like a lasso. He throws him into the air and starts knocking him back and forth. She captures the back, but gets pulled along with his movements, swinging back and forth.

"Gotta...stop...Poodle Moth...thing," Ninja says between hits, eventually falling as the moth releases Kunoichi. Howard steps out of the Game Hole and screams, ducking his head. Ninja flies over him, crashing into a fire extinguisher and landing at a wall. Kunoichi falls on top of the water from the system, keeping her in the air.

"Whoa!" She eventually tips over and falls on her partner's back. The ball rolls out of the bag and to the water, staying at the top like she was a moment ago. Ninja looks up nervously, watching the moth dive in their direction.

"It's after the Sorcerer's Ball!" Ninja exclaims in realization.

"But why?" Kunoichi asks in disbelief.

"Get the ball, hurry!" Her partner urges her. She grabs a piece of her hair and he does the same, both of them throwing it like a lasso. They manage to grab it before Poodle Moth could, laughing in relief. She pulls it down to their level, catching it in her hands.

"Now find a hole and jam it in there!" Howard guides them.

"Hole? Where are we gonna find a hole in the middle of the street?" Ninja questions, Kunoichi crossing her arms.

"And why jam it into a hole? This thing is powerful in the hands of the Sorcerer, and it just seems kind of careless to do that," She holds up the ball in her hands.

Howard silently points to something underneath them and Ninja steps back, revealing a manhole cover. "Ooh, manhole cover. Yup, yup, yup..."

The moth soars over their heads, heading straight for them.

"What are you waiting for?" Howard asks them impatiently.

"I'm thinking! Something about throwing a ball of concentrated evil into a sewer does not seem right," ninja tells him.

"Thank you!" Kunoichi exclaims in exasperation.

"That's where I put all my concentrated evil," Howard jerks a thumb to himself, causing the girl to shudder in disgust. "Heh heh. Concentrated evil."

The other two glance at each other, since Howard wouldn't laugh at that...Nevertheless, Ninja bends down and opens the cover.

"Something's wonk about this..."

"There has to be another way..." Kunoichi shakes her head, only to get hit by the moth.

"Kuno!" Ninja holds out a hand to her as she goes flying into a wall. Another moth head appears from the mouth, causing her to scream. She dodges the tongue as it flies towards her head, looking towards the sorcerer ball in her hand. The moth snatches it from her and she strains to get herself free. When she does, she ends up falling, but Ninja jumps up and catches her bridal style. He slides to a stop, glaring up at the moth. "Ninja Can't Let You Get Away With That!" He tosses some ninja rings, the moth turning around...

And they hit the power ball.

An explosion starts to occur as Kunoichi jumps off, holding her head with a panic. "Ninja!"

"Oh...my bad," He replies in disappointment, and just like with the last dream, they go flying.


The two scream awake, sitting next to Howard while holding popcorn. Randy looks around with a scream.

"Bad dream?" Howard asks knowingly, taking a handful of their popcorn.

"Poodle Moth...world...gone...it was...just a nightmare?"

"We had the same dream?" Amy turns to him in confusion.

"Aw, you got to have a nightmare? Lucky. I had to watch this," Howard explains, gesturing to the movie. Though what's really throwing the brunette off is that there is no one present in the museum besides them.

"Silt Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Silt, has been brought to you by McBubbleBurp: Wake Up and Taste It!" The ad for the same drink appears.

"McBubbble-What? Wake up and hubba-the-wah?" Randy asks the two in confusion.

"Why is that so familiar?" Amy furrows her eyebrows.

"Trust me, that is not the only question you'd be asking if you just saw Revenge of the Silt," Howard replies, failing to notice their open-mouthed looks. "Lot of plot holes..."

"And the ball blew up everything!" Randy recalls as the three step out of the Museum of Silt, but Amy does not remember coming there. The last time they were there was because of a field trip, and she's not sure why they went in the first place.

"So you destroyed the world?" Howard asks him as they stop. "That's what you went with?"

"What else could we do?" Randy questions back.

"I can't believe we had the same dream. I mean, exactly how it happened. But destroying the power ball just seems like something that wasn't the ideal solution," Amy crosses her arms at him.

"Seems like anything else would have been better," Howard retorts back to the two. "Anything at all."

Amy blinks and Randy gets the same nagging feeling that this has happened once before.

"I feel like we've done this before..." Randy rubs his neck just as the bus leaves. "Hmm?"

"Oh! Now we'll never make it to the Game Hole in time for the inaugural plug-in of Key-Turnin' Ball-Jammer!" Howard complains and the two turn to each other wide-eyed. This happened before too, and this is the third time they've heard it...

"Did you say...Key-Turnin' Ball-Jammer?" Randy asks him slowly and the obese boy turns around to them.

"Thumb-Buster magazine gave it four blisters up!" He holds up four fingers. "It's set in a world where a key opens a thing and-"

"You jam a ball in it!" The two finish for him and he gasps sharply at the duo.

"You ball-jammed without me?" Howard asks in horror just as something approaches them from behind.

"No! No, no, no, no, no! That's the game from our dream-" A tongue snatches Randy's bag away from him.

"My satch-el!" Randy cries out as they look to the source: a giant lizard monster. It snatches up the ball from the bag and Amy whips around to him.

"Why do you keep putting that thing in your bag?!"

The monster crawls up the volcano, causing both of them to groan.

"Yes! It's Ninja time!" Howard cheers, confusing the duo.

"What the honk? You hate Ninja time," Randy narrows his eyes suspiciously.

"Yeah, you say that like 5 times a day," Amy places her hands on her hips.

"Oh, right, I mean, boo! Ninja time!" He gives two thumbs down, but he still gets the suspicious looks. He reaches into their coats and pulls out their masks. "But seriously, Ninja time."

They take the masks, walking away as they're still looking at him.

The monster reaches the top and across from him, a cloud of pink and red appear. "Smokebomb!"

"Un-tongue that ball, Gila Monster. Or is it Hila Monster? I mean, it can't be Jila Monster, can it?" He turns to his partner, who's pinching her nose.

"Gila...it's Gila...this hurts to hear..."

They get smacked by the tail, flying down the volcano. Ninja takes a sai, stabbing it into the rock and grabbing Kunoichi's hand. They slide down to a stop, running upwards.

"Ninja Rings!" He tosses them, but misses and they reach the top, backflipping and stomping on its head. "Ninja Stomp!"

Kunoichi releases her hair, wrapping it around the Gila's waist. "Hurry, get the ball!"

He reaches out and grabs it, pulling backwards, but the Gila Monster has a strong grip on it. "Give...it...back!" While pulling, he gets closer and closer to the edge, and Kunoichi gasps.

"Watch out!"

As soon as she gives the warning, Ninja gets the ball, but falls backwards into the volcano. He lands at the bottom while holding the power ball.

"Ninja!" Kunoichi peeks over the edge. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" He calls out to her. She throws her hair inside so that she can get in.

"Throw the ball in the hatch!" Howard shouts from above, somehow standing there even though he didn't follow them.

"I'm sorry, I gotta take a minute here, this is exactly like our dream!" Ninja emphasizes to him.

"Wait! Howard, how'd you get there?" Kunoichi wonders, sliding down her hair.

"Uh, not important," Howard waves it off. "Minute's up!"

"That was like a second," Ninja argues back, a screech interrupting the conversation. Kunoichi yelps, running over to her partner as he pulls out his book. "Alright Nomicon, kinda facing a deja-vu stankpocalypse here. What the cheese is going on?" He opens up his book...but there is no writing as it's blank.

"Blank?!" Kunoichi exclaims, pulling out her own Nomicon. She opens up hers, only to have the same result.

"Come on, shloomp us in! Shloomp. Us. In!" He keeps trying to go in, but it's no use. He yelps as the Gila Monster comes closer, standing up. Kunoichi cracks her hair like a whip, but it does nothing to stop him. He spins around to try and trip them, but they jump over it. Then it knocks the two into the wall, Kunoichi gritting her teeth as she looks up.

"Why are all these monsters after the power ball? What could they use it for?"

The tongue reaches out and grabs the ball, dragging Ninja backwards. Kunoichi wraps her hair around him and pulls backwards.

"Getting a little tight!" Ninja wheezes out to her.

"I'm sorry! I can't let him get it!" She frowns as they wrestle for the ball.

"You have to jam the ball!" Howard repeats to them again.

"We are not jamming a ball of evil into who knows what!" Kunoichi glares up at him.

"We have a better idea!" Ninja plants some boom balls onto the tongue and lets go. "Ninja Boom Balls!" He grabs Kunoichi and jumps, both of them landing next to Howard.

"Why would you do that?!" Kunoichi cries out in disbelief as everything starts shaking.

"Uh, we should run," Ninja turns around and takes off, followed by his partner.

"Running?" Howard complains, following after them reluctantly. The explosion starts to occur as they reach the exit, sliding down the volcano. A large burst of green energy appears just like last time and they turn around.

"Howard!"

He gets blasted and his body disintegrates, leaving behind only the skeleton!


The two scream as they open their eyes, on a bus. "Bones! I can see your bones!" Randy points to Howard right next to him.

"Bad dream?" Howard asks knowingly.

"It was a bad dream within a bad dream within a bad dream! And we both keep having it!" Randy gestures to Amy sitting on his right. "There was this-"

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Howard interrupts him rather rudely. "The only thing more boring than your dreams, is when your dreams' dreams have dreams. Oh, and Amy talking."

"Wha-?" She narrows her eyes as he stands up, walking away. Randy looks to his bag, which still has the sorcerer's ball in it. "Ran-"

"I know, I know," He whispers to her. "But I couldn't leave it at home!"

She sighs and then looks around weirdly as no one else is on the bus, not even the driver. "What...?"

The bell rings and Randy paces behind Howard, who's going through his locker. "It's like we keep living the same moment over and over and over and over and-"

"I know the feeling," Howard deadpans as he stands up, annoyed by Randy talking. He slams the locker closed and they both yelp in alarm.

"Would you relax?" He asks them in irritation.

"No! We can't relax!" Randy hugs the bag. "I don't know what's real and what's a dream! Is this a dream?"

"If it is, it's a stupid one..." Howard walks away, since they're in school.

"There's gotta be a way to determine whether or not we're dreaming..." Amy rubs her chin, then punching Howard on the arm.

"Ow!"

"He feels real to me," Amy shrugs to Randy, failing to notice the glare from the shorter boy. She glances around to see no one in the halls, which is weird since they're on time and there are usually people here at this hour.

"Okay, okay, in every dream, a monster tries to get the powerball. So if this is a dream, that means a monster will attack in three, two, one..." Randy stands behind Howard, pointing upwards in fear towards the lockers, but nothing appears. "Huh. Maybe it isn't a dream."

They step forward, only for a monster to crash through the walls, letting out a roar. Howard gasps at it as the monster steps past them.

"Uhh, you gonna go fight that thing?"

"What's the difference? It's a dream! It doesn't matter. Nothing matters! What's the point of anything?" Randy starts freaking out and Amy slaps him across the face as an attempt to calm him down. "Ow! Why'd you slap me?!"

"I was calming you down," She smiles sheepishly.

"Why would that calm me down?!"

"Ran, dream or not, we have to fight, the school is in danger. We can't just ignore it," She places her hands on her hips, raising a brow.

"Just go fight already!" Howard looks over his shoulder, Randy whimpering. Amy pats his back in sympathy. She doesn't feel like doing it either, but it was part of their duties as Ninjas...

They put on the masks to transform, feeling exhausted from all the fighting they did. They appear right behind the monster.

"Smokebomb..."

The monster turns around with a roar. "Let us think this out. You want the ball, but we can't destroy it. There must be another way..."

"But the only thing that's been suggested besides destroying this is-"

Two tentacles grab them both, knocking them around hard. "There's not another way," Howard speaks up when they're on the ground. Then they have to endure the beat-down again, sliding to a stop in front of Howard.

"I hate this so much..." Kunoichi murmurs in pain and they stand up.

"Uh..." Howard starts off nervously as the monster is back on its feet.

"This dream is really starting to cheese me off!" Ninja narrows his eyes.

"Time to end this nightmare," Kunoichi clenches a fist. The monster charges forward and they do the same, sliding underneath it to pull out their signature weapons. They leap forward over the monster's head.

"Ninja-Kuno Tentacle Slash!"

They slide backwards, the tentacles on the ground in front of the monster. But then they grow back.

"What the juice?!" Kunoichi exclaims in shock.

"He won't stop until he gets the ball!" Howard informs the two.

"But destroying the ball will destroy us!" Ninja tells him.

"Not to mention the whole world!" Kunoichi gestures to outside.

"Then jam it in a hole!" Howard screams at them.

"What is with you and jamming this thing into a hole?! That's not gonna solve anything!" Kunoichi yells at him out of frustration. Seriously, that has been suggested so many times that it's gonna give her a headache.

"And what hole? We're in the middle of the school! There are no holes!"

"Sweet cheese, you're standing on one!" Howard gestures to the Tengu Stone right between them.

"The Sorcerer's Hole! We can't. But every time we don't jam the ball, we kill the world. Getting real tired of killing the world."

"Then jam it!" Howard gestures to the stone.

"We can't do that, that's where the Sorcerer is! You wanna give it back to him?" Kunoichi gestures to where they're standing.

"No, but why not? It's just a dream, right?" Ninja bends down to the stone, to Howard's pleasure.

"That's the spirit!"

Kunoichi facepalms at him. "Ninja, we're talking about putting the Sorcerer's Ball into the Sorcerer's Hole. Something in me is saying that if we do this, something else might happen."

The monster steps forward to them and Kunoichi steps back a bit.

"We don't have a choice, Kuno! I'm sorry," His eyes soften at her. "How do I open this thing?"

"For the love of—use the Sorcerer's Key!" Howard screams in anger.

"Oh right, forgot about the Sorcerer's Key..." Ninja pulls it out from his suit, Howard watching in anticipation as he unlocks it, stank seeping out of the mural. The monster is still approaching, Ninja turning back to Howard. "But if this isn't a dream..."

"It's a dream! Just jam the ball already! I told you at the Game Hole! I told you at Mt. Chuck! How many times do I have to tell you?"

"Huh?" Kunoichi turns to him in confusion. If it is a dream, how would he know what happened in it if they didn't tell him a third time?

"Right! Jamming the ball. One thing: We never mentioned the Game Hole or Mt. Chuck in this dream," Ninja rubs his chin.

"Hey, that's right. You stopped us before we could," Kunoichi narrows her eyes.

"Turn the key!" Howard's eyes turn sharper, his eyes red.

"I mean, we told you about those dreams in other dreams, but not this dream," Ninja waves a finger. "Not to mention, you called Ames Amy, and you never call her by first name."

"Hey, yeah," Kunoichi realizes that, and she was too mad to really notice it on the bus.

"Turn! The key!" Howard growls at them.

"Yeah, now I'm thinkin' no," Ninja removes the key, everything turning back to normal.

"Finally," Kunoichi sighs in relief. The monster then disappears and Howard's eyes turn fully red.

"Open that hole and..." He floats up into the air, looking pale. "Jam the ball!"

"Yeeps!" Ninja comments at this.

"The skeleton was just as scary..." Kunoichi slowly shakes her head. Dream Howard floats towards the two, charging forward. They narrow their eyes.

"Ninja Best Friend Block!" Ninja uses a bo staff to knock Dream Howard to the floor. He runs towards them, but Kunoichi sweeps her leg, sending him backwards. He roars at them, his bones cracking. "Gotta get out of this dream loop!" He pulls out the power ball, about to destroy it.

Kunoichi stops him before we could. "You know, I'm not keen on destroying this thing again."

"You're right, what am I doing? It'll just blast us into another dream!" He puts the ball back into the bag. "We have to stop dreaming! We have to wake up! Wake up, wake up, wake up!" He punches himself as Kunoichi punches herself in the guts.

"Ow, that usually works with me..."

Dream Howard directs stank at them, sending them onto the ground. He points a finger and throws them down a hall, where they land in front of something glowing. They look up to see the McBubbleburp vending machine again.

"McBubbleburp: Wake up and Taste it!"

Two doodles of them appear as the words switch around. "Taste it...and wake up!"

"That's why this kept appearing!" Kunoichi gasps a little.

"Holy cheese. That might just be wonk enough to work!"

Both of them gasp as they glance behind them, seeing Dream Howard approach. The two pull out their weapons and he slices the vending machine. Meanwhile, she tosses her fan to hit Dream Howard across the face. Ninja grabs a can, tossing one to her. She catches it as Dream Howard floats in front of them.

"Now we're in fizznezz!" Ninja opens the can, spraying Dream Howard with some McBubbleburp. It's like acid to him as he falls onto the ground, then absorbing the stuff. Ninja attempts to drink, but the mask is covering his mouth.

"Uh."

"Ninj," Kunoichi giggles slightly, pointing to his mouth.

"Oh," They lift up their masks so that their mouths are accessible to them. Dream Howard floats again, this time summoning stank. They both take a sip, Randy letting out a small burp. Meanwhile Amy lets out a big one, lasting about 30 seconds before they walk up, the brunette giggling.

"Excuse me."

Randy lets out another small burp, Howard kneeling nearby. "Nice burp, you guys." He smacks his lips as he could taste it and Amy recoils back in slight disgust. "Hm, when did we have hummus?"

"Howard? W-We're awake?" He turns to Amy, the duo both in their pajamas. "Of course!" He sits up with a smile. "When you burp in your sleep you wake up!"

"Uh, yeah. Everybody knows that," Howard looks at him blankly.

"We're back! We're back! It's all good!" Randy pulls Amy in for a big hug. "Randy's back, baby!" He pecks her lips and she chuckles.

"Glad to be back, Ran."

"Well, it's not all good," Howard interrupts the moment. They turn around to see the Sorcerer's Key in the Tengu stone, the Sorcerer's ball nearby.

"What the juice are we doing?" Randy takes the key back.

"Well, the best I can tell, is you're about to open the Sorcerer's Hole and throw the ball in it," Howard comments simply.

"And you were gonna let us?!" The two ask him wide-eyed.

"In my defense, you both seemed pretty determined," Howard takes a spoonful of cereal.

"Alright, that's fair," Amy agrees with him, especially since there were two of them. The ball starts moving on its own and they quickly grab it. However, the ball seems to have a mind of its own as it keeps trying to go to the Sorcerer's Hole.

"Put the cereal down and help us!" Randy calls out as they wrestle with it.

Howard takes a moment to finish his milk before throwing the bowl away. He grabs the ball and stank emerges from it, crawling up Amy's arm to her horror. The mural shakes, turning green underneath them. Stank emerges from the edges and they stand up, moving away from it. With all their might, they fight back against the power ball trying to go back to it. The three open the school doors, stumbling down the stairs as stank covers the entire hallway. The windows and doors all close, and everything is back to normal.

"Huh?" Randy murmurs as they stand up.

"Did you see that?" Howard asks with a smile. "I mean, you know, of course, you saw it. I saw it. You both saw it. We all saw it together."

They turn around and start walking. "The ball was controlling our dreams the whole time, but our subconsciouses knew a burp would set us free!"

"Well, it took us a while to figure that out. We had the answer, we just never saw it," Amy speaks up.

"Oh right, your subconsciouses are heroes. What about me?" Howard replies back irritably.

"What about you?" Randy raises a brow at him.

"You were there, but you were a raging monster out to get us," Amy explains to him. "If that's a hero, then Randy's not the Ninja."

"Oh, man! How fast did I house that bowl of cereal? That thing didn't stand a chance. That was some professional work. Am I right?" Howard comments as they walk off towards the sunset.

"Good to be back, buddy," Randy wraps an arm around him and Amy. "Good to be back...buddy. And I'm just glad that the power ball didn't corrupt Ames when it had the chance."

"Maybe it's because I'm the Kunoichi that I was able to resist it for a while," She comments, kissing his cheek. "Thank you."

"What about me? I saved your life too!" Howard glares at her.
