Angel: Several people on DeviantArt were underestimating Heidi here because of her actions in this episode. But she knows that Randy is the Ninja in this story.

Basically, don't assume the worst of future episodes of this show, or any other future shows that I write. Just because Theresa was different here does not mean the same applies to Heidi-or at least in the exact same way.

"Hiyah!" Randy hits a snowman next to the sidewalk. He's wearing a black hat, a red and black striped sweater, and a red scarf. Howard is wearing his trapper hat and green scarf while Amy is wearing her light blue outfit she wore on Hanukkah, along with the matching beanie.

"Cunningham, let's talk winter wear," Howard starts off.

"Sure thing, what's up, pal?" Randy asks as he takes a hold of Amy's hand, walking with him.

"Uh, your outfit is up," Howard points out, confusing him.

"Okay...?" He stops and looks at himself.

"Black jacket, red scarf?"

"I kill it!" Randy does a small dab and Amy groans, facepalming. "In black and red."

"Are you seriously not getting this? And it's from Howard of all people," Amy tells him.

"Has it not occurred to you that you look exactly like the Ninja?!" Howard exclaims at the taller boy.

"Not exactly," Randy taps his chin. He then places his mask over his face to reveal a mask exactly like the one from his suit. "The mask's inside out! And I made one for Ames too!"

Before she can protest, he takes out a white and pink mask like hers and puts it over her face. "Nobody's gonna know," He starts to leave and Howard stops him.

"Somebody's gonna put it together."

"Exactly!" Amy lifts up her mask to speak. "You shouldn't even be dressed like that, it's too obvious. This is exactly when you said my name out loud to what you thought was a destroyed robot."

"What someone is gonna put it together?" Randy lifts up his own mask to take a look around. "There's no someone! No one thinks I'm the Ninja! Or even that Ames is the Kunoichi!"

"They will if you make it abundantly clear for them, which is careless," Amy crosses her arms. "Stop saying it out loud!"

"This is one of those rare moments where I agree with Smith," Howard points up at her, to her slight annoyance. Despite that, Randy runs past them, goes up the steps to the school and lands at the top one. "Snow bomb!" He throws up a pile of snow and then lays down to 'disappear.' Howard and Amy shake their heads in disapproval. If he's proven wrong and someone does put it together, they could only pray to cheese that it wouldn't get out.

Unfortunately, Debbie just happens to be spying on them, having recorded the whole thing. "Hmm," She smiles at this information.


Randy tosses his clothes in his locker, slamming it closed. Howard is leaning to the locker next to his.

"We're just saying, you're getting sloppy."

Randy groans at the lecture, walking away. Howard and Amy catch up with him. "The whole point of a secret identity is it's a secret!"

"You've never been this blatantly obvious with our identities before, so why even do it? If it gets out, McFist is going to be after not only us, but people we know!" Amy gestures to Howard. "Ran, Howard and Heidi are enough of who knows, don't make it a worldwide thing!"

"And I'm just saying, it's winter, it's cold, and the mask keeps my beak toasty. Stop worrying. Especially you, Ames," He takes a hold of her hand, kissing it. "I promised I'd listen, and I have, but nothing's gonna happen."

"Uh-huh," She glances away skeptically at that statement.

"Randy! Amy!" Debbie greets, causing them to pause as they passed right by her door. "Can I talk to you two for a sec?"

"Don't go in there!" Howard warns, gripping their collars. "Debbie Kang's got that scoop look in her eye."

The lighting does not help in Debbie's favor as she's smirking with a raised brow. "Can I ask why?" Amy decides to ask the girl.

"Oh, trust me, it's very important," Is all Debbie says, and that does not convince Amy, but she felt like if she didn't, Debbie would bug her all day.

"Puhlease. Uncle Randall and Aunt Amelia can handle the scandal."

"That didn't totally rhyme, but I guess if you're sure about this," Amy rolls her eyes, trailing after her boyfriend.

Randy peeks back in. "Also, there's no scandal, gotta go!"

"Hm," Debbie gives Howard a scary look that says to back off and he yelps. He rushes over to the door to see the two inside. Debbie gives a creepy smile, slowly closing the door. Howard gasps in alarm, not feeling good about this encounter at all...

Debbie steps out of the shadows and Amy glances over her shoulder.

"You oughta fix the lighting in here..."

"Sup, Debbie Kang?" Randy smiles at her as she leans across her desk.

"Oh, nothing, just...I figured out who the Ninja and Kunoichi are!" She points at them accusingly. The two gasp and Randy glances around nervously.

"Uhh..." He looks to her conspiracy board, which is centered on Stevens and Cynthia. "Stevens and Cynthia?" Randy smiles in amusement. Debbie blinks in surprise, taking down the photos with a sheepish laugh.

"Oops." She then replaces them with pictures of the two in front of her.

Amy clears her throat. "Debbie, that's insane."

"Ha! You think we're the Ninja and Kunoichi?" Randy gestures to himself and the brunette. "I don't know what they're serving in the cafeteria, but ladle me a bowl!"

"I know. Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja? Or Amelia Smith: 9th Grade Kunoichi? Both of those sound ridiculous," Debbie chuckles and they give looks forward, along with a musical sting. "But I connected the strings," She gestures to her board.

"Oh, so a conspiracy board is how you came to us NOT being the Ninja and Kunoichi?" Amy gestures to it.

"Debbie, this is crazy! We're not the Ninja and Kunoichi! Who are you gonna believe, our mouths or that string?"

"Both," Debbie holds out her phone...where she recorded Randy putting on his mask outside in the snow.

"I'm the Ninja, Ames is the Kunoichi! I'm the Ninja, Ames is the Kunoichi! I'm the Ninja, Ames is the Kunoichi!"

Amy gasps sharply while Randy is dumbfounded. "Funny thing is, I was about to eliminate you both! And then, you gave me the final pieces of evidence! You two are always together, but I just thought it was because you were nice to Amy when she started out at this school. But then after some time, you got even closer to the point where you're a couple! So that means you've known about each other's identities for a WHILE now."

Their mouths open in shock at her conclusion.

"Care to comment? I suspected that you got closer after that Franz kid came to school, is that when you told her your identity?" She holds up a recording device to the two. Randy chuckles anxiously as he pushes it down.

"Us? N-Not the Ninja or Kunoichi. They're...800 years old. Us, we're much younger. We're younger," He smiles widely at her.

"And the Kunoichi was absent for over 2 decades, that means I'm not her," Amy smiles weakly, hands behind her back. "I wasn't even born when she disappeared!"

"We all know who you both are. I'm gonna break the story wide open at 3 o'clock on Heidi's Me-Cast! This is the biggest story ever! Norrisville High's number one couple are the Ninja and Kunoichi!"

"Debbie, no, wait!" They protest at her.

"This story's getting me into Flackville Community J-School for sure!" She exclaims happily, Randy sneaking up behind her. He hides something behind his back as Amy shakes her head rapidly.

"Ran, no!"

"I'm sorry, Debbie...you leave me no choice," He holds the Ninja Nomicon over his head.

She gasps sharply as she turns around. "Were you gonna hit me with that thing?"

"What?" He looks up at the book. "No! I was gonna do this," He opens up the book and shloomps Debbie into the Nomicon. Her pupils went white as she falls, but Randy catches her, gently putting the girl on the floor.

"What have you done, Ran?!" Amy turns to him accusingly. "Because of you, the most suspicious of our identities knows our identities!"

This is worse than Howard blatantly telling Heidi that she was the Kunoichi—thank cheese that she still hasn't told anyone.

"I know, I know, but just help me fix this!" He pleads with her.

"How?! There's no immediate solution for this!" She gestures to Debbie on the floor as he looks around in a panic. "Not to mention that you-"

"I got it! Stay here and guard Debbie. I'll be right back!" He interrupts her.

"But Ran, you should at least know that-"

He pecks her lips lovingly and skids out of the room, causing her to groan.

"It's a wonder that he even listens to a word I'm saying anymore..."


Howard's in science class, but Randy and Amy are obviously not. Randy manages to sneak in while Mrs. Driscoll isn't looking, using Jerry to slide over to his friend.

"Howard! We need your help!" Randy whispers to him from behind.

"Cunningham, I'm trying to learn," Howard hisses, gesturing to the front. A few seconds later, he bursts into laughter, getting out of his seat. "Just kidding, let's bounce." He then leaves with the taller boy.


They meet up with Amy back in Debbie's office, who is frowning deeply. "We told you this was gonna happen," Howard gestures to her.

"You didn't tell me this was gonna happen!" Randy retorts back.

"Well, yeah. I guess you're right. I'm sorry. You know, in my defense, I didn't know you could be this epically SHOOBTASTIC!" Howard screams the last word in his ear.

"Okay, I'll just ball up this string," He takes down all of Debbie's pictures. "Delete the video," He pulls out her phone, deleting it. "And boom! Scandal handled!"

"Um," Amy bites her lip nervously. "Hate to be that person...actually no, I think I'll let Howard tell you what I was trying to point out earlier."

"Yeah, good job. Oh, except for the part where you shloomped her to the one place that proves you're the Ninja and Kunoichi!"

"I panicked!" Randy exclaims, turning around in dismay. "What are we gonna do? I know! I'll leave her in the Nomicon until graduation! Well done, Randy!" He praises himself, earning looks from his girlfriend and his best friend that say 'bad idea.'

"Debbie does have parents, you know. And people will notice her absence sooner or later," Amy crosses her arms.

"Fine! Okay, we'll be right back!" Randy takes out his book and Amy takes out her Kunoichi Nomicon. "Guard our bodies." He pauses and then looks up. "Don't do anything weird."

"And you better not leave this room," Amy warns him before they shloomp themselves in, landing next to Debbie.

"Hmm," Howard taps his chin. "I wonder what they'd look like holding sandwiches...wonder what I'd look like holding sandwiches." He then leaves the room, with the door wide open.

Meanwhile, in the Nomicon, Debbie walks around the dojo area. A bunch of warriors are sparing, a dragon floating above her. There are also some priestesses walking around. She looks around in awe at everything.

"Why don't I have my camera?!" She complains before Amy and Randy land behind her.

"Because you're not really here..." Randy waves around his hands to make it seem like she's dreaming. "Well, your mind is. Your body's on the journalism floor."

"Is this some sort of ancient 800-year-old book of Ninja and Kunoichi wisdom?" She guesses correctly, Amy's eyes widening.

"What?! No!" Randy waves it off. "No, this is the—ugh, you are good at this. Debbie, this is all supposed to be a secret, you can't tell anyone! And technically, the Kunoichi Nomicon's missing over 2 decades of wisdom."

"Mm!" Amy balls up her fists in frustration as she glares at him.

"Okay, that one is also my fault," He smiles nervously at her.

"I'm a journalist, guys. I can't not tell anyone!" Debbie gestures to the warriors closing in on them. "Though, I do wanna go back to those 2 decades where there wasn't a Kunoichi." They finally notice the warriors, pausing nervously.

"You!" They point at the duo accusingly.

"Us?! What did we do?" Randy asks them in disbelief.

"Me?!" Amy crosses her arms at him.

"I mean, I know what I did, but I didn't mean to do it." The warriors get closer to the two. "Oh boy..." He runs off and the four chase after him, but they don't go after Amy. Probably because Randy gave away her identity, and not herself. Debbie just watches for a few seconds.

"So, uh, how do I get out of here?" She glances around for an exit. Amy is about to ask Debbie not to tell anyone when a warrior pops out of nowhere to chase her. She lets out a scream and runs past the girl. A portal opens up and whisks Debbie out of the Nomicon.

She gasps sharply as she walks back up in the journalist room, seeing the torn down pictures. She looks at her phone and then sees the deleted video. "Cunningham!" She pushes him and he falls onto Amy's shoulder. Then they fall into a heap, where their books slide out of their hands. Debbie gasps at them and beams.

"You gank my proof..." She puts them into Randy's bag. "I gank yours." She then leaves with the books, and Howard comes back a few seconds later with sandwiches.

"Let's see, Cunningham will hold the meatball parm, and Debbie Kang will—hold the phone! Where's Debbie Kang?!"

"H-Dubs here with a me-sclusive!" Heidi announces from her broadcast. "At three double donuts, Scoops Kang is gonna unmask the...the masked ones?! Oh no," Her eyes widen as she knew what that meant. Howard drops the sandwiches.

"That's in ten donuts! I gotta stop her!" He leaves, grabs the sandwiches, and then leaves again.


"Unmask the masked ones?" McFist raises a brow from his office. He's watching the broadcast from his McFist Pad. "Ooh! I think she's talking about the Ninja and Kunoichi!"

"You're a born codebreaker sir," Viceroy deadpans at him.

"It's all that sudoku," McFist brags to him, rolling over to the scientist. "Whip me up something to destroy whoever gets unmasked! And hurry up! We're burning donuts here!"


Randy and Amy skid around a corner as they're in the hallway. They're still being chased as the warrior points at them.

"You are both guilty of conduct unbecoming of a Ninja and a Kunoichi! Turn in your masks!"

They look up ahead, gasping and skidding to a stop when they see a specific door heading towards them. "Ultimate Lesson. Oh, they're gonna mind-wipe us! Uh, I don't wanna be mind-wiped! I'm not ready to stop being the Ninja!"

"And I'm not ready to stop being the Kunoichi just because of a mistake!" Amy narrows her eyes as does Randy. He sees a door and opens it, only to see a waterfall. He opens another and sees a bunch of rocks. He then opens the third one to see two men sitting together, one of them having glasses. Amy's eyes widen at them and Randy closes the door. He has a puzzled look, but then waves it off. He yelps as he looks up ahead to see the warrior inching closer.

"What do we do?!" Randy asks his girlfriend as he glances between the man and the door coming closer.

"I don't know! I...I don't know what we can do!" She replies in a small panic.

"I can fix this. I'll fix this!" Randy declares, breaking through a wall of the Nomicon. He gasps as there's light coming from it. He glances around before taking Amy's hand and they go through the tear in the wall.

"Little hand up in three..." Heidi starts off nervously as they sit up in alarm. "Big hand on the noon. It's me-sclusive-o'clock..." The two can tell that she's uncomfortable continuing, which is a first...

And then they see Debbie sitting across from her to understand why.

"Don't let us hanging, D.K," Heidi smiles anxiously.

"Heidi!" Howard bangs on the window outside her room. She glances at him. "Wait!" She bites her lip nervously and he could tell that she doesn't even want to do this.

"Uhh, let's talk about sports! What's the haps?" Heidi decides to distract Debbie.

"I know you're stalling, Heidi," Debbie deadpans at her. "Which means you already know what I'm about to say, don't you?" She raises a knowing brow.

"What! No," Heidi waves it off. "I don't know anything..."

"Well, after a thorough investigation, I have concluded that..." Debbie clears her throat, looking at a notecard that has the words 'Randy Cunningham and Amy Smith are the Ninjas.' She glances at Howard briefly, who shakes his head no. "The Ninja and Kunoichi are-"

"No one!" Heidi waves her hands rapidly, snatching away the notecard. "Yup, glad we figured that out, let's-"

Debbie takes back the notecard. "They're Randy Cunningham and Amelia Smith!"

Everyone gasps at the second name but then they glance to each other. "Who's Randy Cunningham?"

"Phew," Howard wipes off his forehead. Heidi sighs in relief as well, but then Debbie pulls up a photo of the couple that was taken outside of school.

"Oh! Him? Really?"

Howard groans, sliding down in defeat as Heidi frowns.


McFist unfortunately sees their pictures from the screen. "Destroy Randy Cunningham and Amelia Smith!" He slams down a fist. "Also, I got two nines on one line here, something's definitely off, right?"

Viceroy takes his McFist Pad and then presses an app that activates a protocol to destroy the Ninja and Kunoichi.

"Wait a minute!" His eyes widen in recognition. "That was the girl who said she WASN'T connected to the Kunoichi!"

"Then destroy Amelia first!" McFist screams in rage.


"There you have it..." Heidi starts off in dejection. "The Ninja and the Kunoichi are Randy Cunningham and Amelia Smith..."

"Oh! The one time she gets it right!" Randy complains, Amy holding her head.

"This is awful! Debbie doesn't know what she's gotten herself and everyone else into!" She exclaims in dismay, hearing a scream from outside. Randy looks to his girlfriend, who shakes his head. "That was not me, I'm standing right next to you."

They look out the window to see students running away from a robot that has just arrived at the school. "Looks like it's Ninja o'-" Randy reaches into his jacket, but can't find his mask. "Where the honk is my mask?! Ah!" He looks at his satchel on screen because Debbie has it, meaning he's stuck as Randy. Obviously he can't go and get it, because he'd have to face everyone else there.

"Thank cheese I kept mine in my pocket," Amy sighs a bit in relief as she takes hers out.

"Killer robots. Knows we're the Ninja and Kunoichi. Sooo..."

Randy takes refuge in the storage locker, earning an annoyed look from Amy.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Just go stop it without me, I don't need to be there for that," He smiles awkwardly from inside.

"Ran...identities exposed or not, someone has to help the students. And I need you out there," Her eyes soften a little at him.

"Uhh, just distract it!"

She crosses her arms, glancing towards outside.

The robot snatches Cynthia and scans her.

"That's her!" McFist points at the girl.

"That's not Amelia, sir," Viceroy tells him and then another girl is pulled up.

"That's her!"

"No again," Viceroy sighs at him and then Tiny Tim is brought upwards.

"Bingo!"

"Let's keep looking," Viceroy rubs a temple.

"You can't stay in a storage locker for the rest of your life, you know," Amy speaks up, staring down at the locker.

"Sure I can! It's not so bad. Surprisingly roomy. Ah, I'll stay till graduation, maybe put a hot plate here, little bed there. I mean, do they really need the Ninja?"

Before she can retort back, a voice calls out from outside.

"Help!" She turns towards Doug being taken away by the robot. She yelps and ducks for cover before it could see her. "I need the Ninja and Kunoichi."

"Ah, it's just Doug," Randy dismisses it. "It's all good."

Then more people cry for help and he opens his eyes. "That's it, I'm going out there!" Amy puts on her mask to transform and then jumps out the window.

"Mask or no mask, I gotta get that thing outta here," He stumbles out of the locker.

People run away as Kunoichi smokebombs near the entrance. "Smokebomb!"

"It's Amelia Smith! We're saved!" A student cheers and she waves her hands.

"Ah, I'm not really her."

"Then where is she if you're here?"

Her eyes widen at that and she chuckles nervously. "Uhh, she's...hiding! Yup. Because I brought her to safety...!"

She then snaps out of it, facing the robot. "Alright, big guy, time to see what you're made of!"

He smacks her right into a tree and she spits out some leaves. "Clearly, we have strength going on," She wheezes from her spot.

"Hey, ro-bit!" Randy calls out, the robot and Kunoichi turning to him. "You want Randy Cunningham? I'm right here!"

"What is he doing?" Her eyes widen at him. Doug is dropped and the robot steps over to him.

"Uh-huh. Come on, come on."

The robot then aims its arm, which has two rockets attached. "Oh come on!" He takes off into a run as the rockets fire. He races as fast as he can to get away. Kunoichi jumps down from the tree and sprints over to them.

"Are you telling me that's the Ninja?" Heidi smiles at Debbie while sweating a little.

"I'm telling you, that's the Ninja!" Debbie reiterates to her.

"And I'm telling you that's not the Ninja!" Howard calls out from outside. "If it was, he wouldn't run like some shoob!"

The crowd murmurs in agreement.

"But he would run like some shoob if he wants us to think he's not the Ninja!" Debbie argues back, and the crowd murmurs in agreement again. Howard growls at this as Heidi silently grits her teeth.

An explosion occurs in the forest, along with Randy screaming. He skids into a bush before taking off again. Kunoichi follows after him, throwing a fan at the robot and missing. She holds up a hand as it comes back to her, another explosion occurring. Kunoichi releases her hair, spins it, and captures a branch. She swings forward, Randy jumping up and hugging her waist as they swing over a boulder. She then lets go and they slide down safely behind a tree.

"Ducking behind a tree."

Kunoichi puts a finger to her lips, swinging her hair forward to grab another branch. She grabs Randy's hand and tugs on the hair, which lifts them up onto the branch. Kunoichi crouches down a bit as she looks at the robot preparing to fire again.

"Think. Think, think!" Randy urges himself, hitting his head. "I can't think of anything!"

"I don't know how we're gonna get out of this one, but we will...somehow," Kunoichi looks away nervously. "Even though I don't have a plan either..."

"You know, you could just defeat it without my help," He points out.

"If I do that, they'll just send another one to destroy us and then we'll be doing this cat-and-mouse game for the rest of our lives. They still know who we are!"

"Oh yeah..." Randy hears something, looking behind him as the missiles had fired, and then swung back around to them.

"Look out!" Randy leaps forward and pushes his girlfriend out of the way as another blast occurs. They're sent flying off a small hill, rolling to a stop on an iced lake. "Slipping! Slipping! Whoa!"

Kunoichi waves her arms around as she tries to move. "The one thing I wish our suits came with were ice skates!" She pulls out her staff and manages to balance herself that way. She hugs it tightly as they look up to see the robot preparing to fire, but has no ammo. Randy flinches and then laughs in relief as he sees this.

"You're out of missiles! Whatcha gonna do now?"

The robot emits spikes and Kunoichi turns to give him a small glare. "What am I gonna do now?!" He looks around in a panic. He sees a sign for the lake, warning that the ice is thin. "Gotta get him to the ice." He tries to move and trips, falling on his face. Kunoichi's feet slip when she tries to go over to help him. She throws her hair at the sign and pulls forward, using that to help her get closer.

"Grab on!" She gestures to her hair and he manages to stand up. The robot is walking towards them.

"Why is ice so slippery?" Randy complains as they pull themselves forward with her hair. They manage to get to the sign, Randy clutching onto it. Kunoichi spins her sais into her hand, handing one to Randy. He takes it and they bend down to the ice, stabbing at it. It doesn't do much, however. Randy slips again, but they continue stabbing, cringing nervously. They look up at the robot and Kunoichi's eyes narrow.

"Come...on!" Kunoichi urges as they continue.

"Stupid thin ice! Why won't you break?!" They stab at the ice at the same time, finally breaking it. The robot falls into the water, and McFist loses the connection.

"They're not gonna beat us that easy!" McFist slams his robotic fist.

"Actually..." Viceroy starts off from behind.

"Don't tell me. They're gonna beat us that easy?"

"Mm-hmm," The mad scientist confirms regrettably.

The two watch the robot sink into the water, which gets eaten by the Lake LaRusso creature.

"That thing is still alive?! What the juice?" Kunoichi's eyes widen in surprise.

"Ha ha!" Randy laughs boastfully, but then the ice underneath their feet starts to separate. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Ahh..."

"Quick! Get on my back!" Kunoichi urges him.

"That's kinda weird that you're giving me a piggy back ride..."

"Just do it..." She rolls her eyes and he does so. She quickly jumps and flips from the ice stones, eventually landing on the other side safely.

"Now we just have to convince everyone we're not the Ninjas!" Randy turns to her once he's standing up. "Man, this is a tough one!"


Back at the school, everyone looks at the damage. Heidi glances at Debbie with a small frown, but then sees something in the fog. "Hey look, it's the Ninja and Kunoichi!"

However, it's just Randy and the Kunoichi. "Ah, no, it's just me, Randy. Ninja was there, though. Took out the robot at the lake. Wanted me to tell you I am definitely not him. He was pretty adamant about...that part." He smiles nervously for the lie. Howard pssts from a corner and Heidi turns to him. He waves her forward and she glances around, sneaking over to him.

"Hm. So, he couldn't come up here just to prove that you're not him?" Debbie asks curiously, pointing to the girl. "And why is Kunoichi here and not Amy, hm? You'd think you'd be more concerned since that's your girlfriend out there, if she's not the Kunoichi that is."

"Umm...smokebomb!" Kunoichi throws it to disappear and Debbie coughs.

"Uh, no, he had a thing across town and he took my girlfriend to safety before he left. Theater tickets...probably not..."

"Dude, give it up. You're the Ninja and Amy is the Kunoichi," Debbie doesn't believe him for a second.

"No, we're not," Amy denies as she arrives back.

"Actually, I'm the Ninja!" Howard's voice booms as he's using a makeshift puppet to act as him.

"And I'm the Kunoichi!" Heidi's voice calls out as she also has a makeshift puppet to act as the Kunoichi. The students gasp sharply while Randy and Amy are shocked.

"Ninja? Kunoichi?"

"Ninja and Kunoichi," Randy and Amy smile in recognition, happy that they're buying it.

"And the theater is super lame!" Howard exclaims in denial. "I would never go to that!" Heidi smacks him on the arm with a small glare.

"But if they're up...and you're down..." Debbie stammers in disbelief.

"Told you, Debbie Kang," Randy wraps an arm around her. "We're not the Ninjas!"

"Ha! You thought those shoobs were us?" 'Ninja' denies to him. "Oh, you must be wonking me around."

"Okay, Ninja, thank you," The tall boy smiles nervously.

"You've done your part, time to go!" Amy waves them off.

"Yes! I agree with that girl!" Heidi points down at her.

"I mean, Randy Cunningham and Amelia Lynne Smith? You couldn't have picked someone else? Oh, what about that Weinerman kid? That guy's Bruce City!"

"Uh, so you can smokebomb anytime! Like now would be great to pop...pop a smokey," Randy is trying to tell them to leave and Heidi tries to, but Howard pulls her back.

"No, no, I get it. Smoke-ada-boom," He pretends to throw one and they roll away from the roof.

Heidi then appears a few seconds later. "Bang! Headline: Landy Bluntingham and Amelia Smith are not the Ninjas!" She smiles in relief, since she already knew the truth anyway. Randy stares after her in shock for the mess-up.

"Are you—she can't even remember Cunningham now?"

"Maybe it was to save face," Amy shrugs at him. After all, she got his name right when she told Heidi that she was the Kunoichi.

"Next time you bring me a scoop, make sure you know what the honk you scooped!" Heidi accuses Debbie with a glare, winking at Randy and Amy. They smile gratefully at her and walk off. People storm off as Debbie is left standing there.

"Wait! Come back! I'm not wrong!" She insists to them. "I can prove it! I have these!" She holds up the Nomicons from Randy's bag, and they glow. They open up in front of her and she catches them to see the Ultimate Lesson popping up. It shloomps her and she falls unconscious. The two teenagers walk up to her, taking the books back.

"I know. I was guilty of conduct unbecoming of the Ninja," Randy frowns sadly.

"And I wasn't exactly good at hiding myself either," Amy closes her eyes.

"But Nomicon, I loved it while it lasted, and if it wasn't for you choosing me as the Ninja...I wouldn't have Ames," He turns to her lovingly and she blushes. "I'll never forget this. I mean, I will 'cause you're gonna mind-wipe us..."

They wait for it, but nothing comes. They look back at the books to see the warrior. "You are guilty of conduct...becoming a Ninja."

Amy beams happily at this. "You're giving us a second chance?! Ah, it's because we beat that robot, right? Scandal handled!" He spins around the Nomicon on his finger, the brunette staring at him wide-eyed. The book glows, floating in mid-air. He catches it, glancing around in embarrassment. "Sorry, sorry, I won't do that again."

"Well, I saved the day. Again," Howard walks up to the two. "No thanks necessary, and you're welcome."

"Heidi did too, you know," Amy crosses her arms. "At least that means we can fully trust her to keep our identities secret. And you know, most people wouldn't thank you if you say that."

"Howard, I don't expect you to understand," Randy bends down to him. "But the key to a secret identity is keeping it secret."

"What?!" Howard pushes him away in protest. "I said that this morning!"

"I don't think you did," Randy rubs his chin, walking away.

"I said it to your face!"

"No, I would've remembered that," He smiles in amusement, taking Amy's hand and walking off. She giggles a bit, catching on quickly.

"Yeah, I don't remember either," She waves it off.

"Oh ho, you guys are the worst! Can't believe I lugged Mr. D to the roof for you and made a puppet out of chili for Heidi to use!"

Debbie wakes up, rubbing the back of her head. "What the juice happened?" She pulls out the notecard from before. "Randy Cunningham and Amelia Smith are the Ninjas? What idiot scooped that?" She then rips the notecard in half and leaves.


Randy walks Amy home, which was silent. Though, given today, he could understand her not wanting to talk. He'd be pretty mad too...

"I'm so sorry I was so careless, Ames," Randy lets go of her hand once they reach her house. He sits on her porch, frowning sadly as he places his elbows on his knees. He sighs as he hides his face from her. "Look, I...I understand if you wanna break up with me. I pretty much shoobed everything."

Her eyes soften at him, feeling a bit bad for getting angry with him. True, he was careless about their identities, but she felt like he had gone through enough after Debbie found out.

"Let me ask you something," She takes a seat next to him. "And I want you to be honest with me. Do you feel like you wanted to stop having a crush on me when I created that prank for Bash during his pranking phase?"

"No," He shakes his head rapidly. "No, I still liked you as much as I did the day I met you."

"Did you feel like you needed to stop being friends with me?"

"Of course not, I didn't blame you for what he did after that," He looks up at her.

"Well...I don't blame you entirely for what happened today," She starts off. "Debbie played a part too, and she was the one who outed us to the public, not you. You did everything you could to protect our identities, and...you fixed it like you said. So I forgive you."

He smiles happily at her, pulling her into a loving embrace. Amy smiles back and returns it. "Thanks Ames. That means a lot."

"Of course...but," She pulls back to look at him. "Don't do it again."

"I won't! I promise, I mean it this time!" He gestures to himself.

"I believe you," Amy giggles at him. He holds her hands, staring in her eyes. She blushes bashfully, moving a bang away from her face. Randy leans in and kisses her gently. She returns it with a smile, closing her eyes. While she did get upset, she could get over it in due time since everything's okay now.
