Angel: I'm not sure if anyone saw, but I left a warning on my profile about Shaeril McBrown, because in the past few weeks, she's left my stories alone. But if you ever see any guest reviews with my name come up anywhere, please let me know so I can tell that author that I didn't leave that review. I'm not always checking on Shaeril's stories since I don't care about them, and I actually have a life unlike she does. I don't want anything to do with Shaeril, and if she's gonna do that kind of shit to ME, I'm definitely not putting up with it. After I left that review on her story, she hasn't done anything to me or with my name, so I'm still being careful around that. I'm honestly sick of her bullshit, and I don't know why no one's done anything about her. If they could fix the PMs and FINALLY acknowledge that uploading chapters bug about a month ago, then clearly they could do something about this troll.

Again, if any guest reviews come up with my name, it's not me. I don't need to hide my name around other people. I don't harass other authors since I mind my own business, I'm always on my account, so...yeah, enjoy this episode!

The bell rings and Howard is leaning against the locker between Randy and Amy. "Hmm. Something feels different about today," He comments as Amy reaches up to her textbook. Randy closes the door and gets the book for her. She smiles up at him and he returns the gesture. Howard sips his drink as they walk down the hall. Amy takes out a bag of chips and starts eating them.

"Oh, ha ha, I know. It's Saturday and we're at school!" Howard shouts as they continue walking. "Instead of being home in my underpants, I'm here in my over pants. And I mean just my underpants."

"Ohh," Amy spits out her chips back into her bag, tossing them in the garbage can nearby. "Okay, I did not need to know that."

"Happy with yourself, guys?" Howard glares at them.

"Us? This isn't our fault," Randy explains while several students behind them look bummed out.

"Attention students," The principal announces from the speaker, getting their attention. "This semester we've missed 67 school days due to Ninja and Kunoichi battles." Howard glares up at the two and Randy just shrugs. They couldn't exactly prevent monsters or robots coming to the school, since McFist and Viceroy know that the Ninja and Kunoichi go to Norrisville High... "So we're making them up with Saturday School!"

A girl throws her book at the speaker out of anger. He could tell something hit it by the screech. "Hey! Don't blame me, it's Ninja and Kunoichi's fault!"

Randy groans upon hearing this, pinching his nose.

"Stupid Ninja," Flute Girl complains as students look towards the ground.

"They ruined our Saturday!" Another girl whines with a frown.

"Ninja and Kunoichi are the worst!" Doug declares and the two who are the Ninja and Kunoichi happen to be standing behind him.

"Really, Doug? The Ninja and Kunoichi who save our honkin' cheese, are the worst?"

"Taking it a little too personally," Amy whispers to him, trying to pull him backwards.

"Howard, Ames, tell Doug to shut it," Randy gestures to the boy.

"Actually, I'm with Doug on this one," Howard remarks, to Randy's shock.

"Wha...?"

"Thanks, Howard," Doug smiles gratefully, as this was probably the only time that someone agrees with him.

"Shut it, Doug! I bet you must love this, huh Smith?" Howard looks up at her accusingly.

"I don't mind it, we have to catch up. But for the sake of our Saturday, I'm not on board with this," Amy crosses her arms. "Was Saturday school the only solution for missing 67 days worth of material? Not just some extra homework sheets?"

"Oh sure, because that's so much better than this!" Howard replies sarcastically as they continue walking.

"67 days is roughly 9 weeks. You're telling me that we missed all of 9 weeks just because of a monster attack?" She responds, hugging her book to her chest.

"There was the time that McFist came after us for 2 weeks straight, and that was during school," Randy reminds the girl, wrapping an arm around her.

"Then that's the faculty's fault for not working around the attacks, not ours. You'd think the students would realize that we didn't decide to let out students early or to skip class entirely," She huffs at this. She couldn't believe they were getting blamed for this, even though they technically had nothing to do with it. They didn't force the principal or anyone to decide that school had to be let out or cancelled. And there have been plenty of times where they missed class without a monster attack occurring, such as Brawn Brickwall coming to school.


The three sit in math class, staring at the board as the teacher is writing formulas. "Okay, we royally shoobed Saturday," Randy whispers to Howard in front of him. "But in our defense, I offer this," Randy slides a paper to Howard's desk. It's a picture of two wieners with buns for hands that were about to engage in a boxing fight.

"Ha!" Howard laughs as he points at it. "Wiener fight! So good! I mean, their gloves? Made of buns! Ah...gold."

"You guys are idiots," Flute Girl tells them.

Randy laughs loudly at her. "Yes we are," He rubs Howard's hair. Amy shakes her head next to Randy.

Howard chuckles and then turns his back to his best friend. "I still blame you!" He sips his drink again, which is somehow allowed in class.

"To begin, let's find the circumference of this circle. Anyone?" The teacher asks and Amy raises her hand...but so does Howard. Both she and Howard gasp.

"Why is your hand up?" Randy wonders from behind.

"Ah, why is my hand up?" Howard brings down his hand. "42.683 repeating."

"What? But I knew that," Amy gestures to herself in dismay.

"That's...correct, Howard," The teacher responds in surprise. "Didn't think I'd ever say those words," He chuckles at the boy.

"How did you even know...?" Randy shakes his head slowly.

"I dunno, it just happened!" Howard whispers with a shrug.

"Now onto our constant companion, the variable. Who can solve for X? Ahh, anybody? Ahh?"

Before Amy could even raise her hand, Howard comes in with the answer.

"X equals 2AB over 6Y."

"Dude!" Amy hisses to him.

"Howard, you're freaking me out," Randy comments from behind.

"I'm freaking me out!" Howard replies back in fear.

"Oh, sorry, Mr. Weinerman, you're incorrect," The teacher tells him while looking at the book.

"Oh, thank cheese," Howard responds in relief while Amy furrows her eyebrows in confusion.

"No, wait, I'm incorrect," The teacher turns the book right side up. "X does equal 2AB over 6Y. Weinerman!" He chuckles as he gestures to the boy, and people start whispering while glancing at Howard. He's never answered questions correctly before... "That was pretty much all I was gonna teach today so onto your next class!"

They run out the door and they go back to their lockers. Amy puts her math book back in her locker, frowning a bit. Howard sips his drink and Randy turns to him after opening his locker.

"Since when do you raise your hand? Besides Ames, we're not hand-raisers. Because we let her do it," He gestures to the brunette.

"It was like my hand had a mind of its own!" Howard's hand starts to shake. "And my hand's mind told my mouth what my hand was thinking. Oh, guys, I'm losing my cheese."

"No, no, no, no, no," Randy waves his hands rapidly. "We'll figure this out. Right, Ames?"

"I guess," She replies a little bit in doubt.

"There's gotta be a reason. What's different about today?" Randy rubs his chin.

"Besides being at school on Saturday?" Howard shrugs before taking his last drop of his drink.

"Howard, that's it!" Randy takes his empty bottle and tosses it into the trash. "Saturday School!" There's a banner nearby announcing it, along with the words 'It's the Ninjas' fault!' "Monday to Friday your brain-shields are up. You don't let any learning in. But today's Saturday!"

"My brain-shields are down! I'm wide open!" The shorter boy gasps in realization. "I could wind up being...Smith!" Her eyes widen before they narrow in annoyance. He starts sobbing as he looks at the girl. "I don't wanna be you!"

"First off, rude. And second, that would make some sense, but on every other Saturday, you still have your brain shields down..." She places her hands on her hips. "Your brain can't just shut on or off when it wants to."

He looks at the mirror from her locker to see his hair getting a white streak in it. He gasps as he looks at her. "It's already happening! Look at me, I'm a freak!"

"That's not true, you don't look like a freak," Randy reassures his girlfriend. "But you're a freak that just freaked everyone out of math class." He flinches as Amy gives him a glare. "Again, not a freak. Keep this up, we'll be outta Saturday School in...in..."

"13 minutes," Amy tells him.

"Actually, in precisely 13.4 minutes," Howard corrects her and she frowns deeply.

"Four minutes! Almost. I was really...I almost had it," Randy glances away.

"But I don't wanna," Howard whines while walking away.

"Howard, if you do that, you'll be a hero to everyone! And the Ninjas will be forgiven," He whispers that last part to himself.

"Uh, what was that?" Howard turns around to him.

"Hmm? What that was?" The Nomicons just happen to buzz from their lockers. "Not-Nom. Nomicons. We gotta go," They shloomp themselves in, landing in their lockers.

The two fall before landing on an intersection on their backs. "Ouch!" Amy stands up, rubbing her back.

"Well timed, Nomicon!" Randy compliments with a smile. "We cannot let Howard know we're using him to get the Ninja and Kunoichi off the Shoob List."

"Isn't that...you know, wrong?" Amy gives him a look, crossing her arms. "You've been through much worse, and you could just ignore the fact that people are blaming us. Like the time people kept chanting shoob and you listened to them."

"True, but we're heroes! We can't keep getting blamed for Saturday School! It'll follow us until we stop being the Ninjas." He then examines her face, noticing her hesitant expression. "Hey, are you okay?"

"Well-"

A shadow looms over them and they look up to see a huge samurai staring down at them. It walks past the two and they just stare in confusion. The samurai stares down at the doodle Ninja and Kunoichi. They glance around, seeing a villager wave. They use him as a shield, but he ends up being an enemy and attacks them, along with the samurai. A fist-fight breaks out, emitting a cloud.

"When you use a friend, you gain an enemy. We're not using Howard, we're using his smarts, which technically don't belong to him because they came from Saturday School which we are responsible for, so really they're more like our smarts, right?"

The four glance at each other. "R-Right?" He glances at the girl, who shakes her head slowly. Then they get tackled by the three.

"Yah!" They vloomp out into their lockers in alarm.

"What did the Nomicons say?" Howard asks in a panic.

"It said, use your thinkin' meat to get everyone out of Saturday school," Randy stands up, dusting himself off. He then helps Amy out of her locker. "And get the Ninjas out of trouble."

"What'd you say?"

"Nothing!" Randy whips around to him. Howard then leaves the two alone. "Why do I keep doing that?"

"Because you're not subtle," Amy tells him gently.

"By the way, is something wrong, Ames? You know you can tell me anything," Randy gestures to himself.

"I would tell you, but we have class soon," She replies, taking a hold of his hand. "Let's just go."

"Okay, but we're talking about this later," He warns playfully, poking her nose. She smiles weakly at the gesture.


Randy draws a pickle with a top hat for art class, earning a smile from the teacher. She then checks on Amy, who's painting a vase of flowers. She also likes it and goes over to Howard, who has done an excellent painting. She then walks away with doubt, since Howard's not an artist usually... His hair grows bigger and whiter, and eventually they leave class early again.

He's getting smarter everyday

Randy and Amy leave after the crowd does, staring down at Howard as they notice the hair change.

The class stare as they're in science class, dealing with frogs, but not dissecting them.

He's getting smarter in every way

Howard pulls out a baby frog, as if he was helping the frog give...birth...

Smart Howard

Smart Howard

Randy cuddles the baby frog and the class claps for him. The teacher is just as skeptical as the last two, glancing up at the clock.

Smarter than he was one second ago

Howard's hair gets even bigger, this time fully white. Amy looks a bit disappointed as she looks on.

Smarter than he was two seconds ago

The whole class leaves again, and the two stare at Howard's hair again as they leave.

Smart Howard

Smart Howard

He then starts singing in Spanish class, an assignment they have to do, as Randy and Amy do the salsa together. He dips her briefly, putting a rose into her mouth.

He used to be so dumb

Bow now he's smart

Howard stops singing as the two stop dancing. "Ole!" Randy exclaims, roses being thrown at them.

He used to scratch his bum

But now he's into art

Senora Jorge glances up at the clock and then at Howard, since class has ended quickly again.

Smart, Smart Howard

His hair grows again.

"So honkin' Bruce!" Randy states as they walk out of class together. He's holding a sombrero and puts it on. "One more class and the Ninjas are totally off the hook!"

Amy elbows him lightly. "What was that, Randall?" Howard looks up at him, speaking in a more polite tone.

"Nothing! Just excited about Saturday School almost being over!" Randy corrects himself. "Slap it in baby!" He holds up his hand, but Howard doesn't respond and he just blinks up at him. "Why are you not slapping it in baby?"

"Because I'm a scholar, not a child," Howard crosses his arms in disdain. Amy looks at him wide-eyed at his manner of speaking, which is...dignified and curt, not like Howard at all.

"Whoa-oh! Check it out!" Randy makes fart noises while squeezing his hands together. Amy just looks away while Howard clears his throat, walking away into a classroom. He frowns sadly. "But Howard loves Fart Shoe."

"Well, he's not exactly himself," Amy gestures to where he went. "I'm sure that once science class is over, he'll stop this whole thing."

Randy gestures to the door and she steps in. When he follows, he gets stuck because of the sombrero. Amy giggles and lifts up his hat so he can slip through.


"Okay, class, time's up!" Mrs. Driscoll announces to the class.

"Please hand in your physics projects," Jerry states and she walks past the boys' table. Amy is sitting next to Morgan as they work together finishing their project.

"So what're we making, huh?" Randy asks eagerly, Amy raising a brow at the two. Howard has a telescope in his eye to look at whatever he has in front of him. "Burrito box? Where do the burritos come out?" He taps at the box, only to get his hand smacked away. "Ow!"

"I would never waste my intellect on such foolish endeavors," Howard smiles a bit.

"That's exactly what you'd waste it on!" The taller boy exclaims in disbelief. Amy winces a bit at Howard's attitude.

"Mr. Weinerman, a word?"

The trio look up to see the principal, surrounded by all of the previous teachers from the day. He takes off the small telescope as the teachers don't look too happy. "It's come to my attention you've received A's in all your classes today."

"I believe you mean, A-pluses. Much higher than my colleague's A-minuses," He points to Amy, who flinches and then glares at him.

"I don't know how to say this without accusing you, so I'll just accuse you: You're cheating off of Amelia, aren't you? Amelia, did you play a part in this?"

"What? No!" She stands up abruptly.

"Come on, Ames would never let Howard cheat," Randy speaks up for her, gesturing to the girl.

"Could a cheater have created...this?" Howard holds up the box he just finished.

"You expect me to believe you built that burrito box all by yourself?" Principal Slimovitz chuckles in disbelief.

"It's not a burrito box!" Howard denies, shaking his head. "It's the first apparatus ever built to compact mass dense enough to deform space-time!"

Amy opens her mouth in shock, but Howard just gets blank looks from the faculty. "It's a black hole machine, you ninnies! Welcome...to the void!" He presses the top, but then it fizzles out, doing nothing. Amy is more or less relieved, and not because Howard built the thing, but because it didn't actually work.

"That's more like it. Regular ol' C-student Howard," Slimovitz comments at this, the teachers smiling. "In this case, the C stands for cheating."

All the students laugh at him, angering Howard. As he gets more anger, his hair grows even bigger and he stares at Mrs. Driscoll.

Howard Weinerman? Genius? Ha!

The black hole was between his ears.

Then he looks to a smug Flute Girl.

It's like I always say: idiot.

Finally he looks at Doug just standing there.

Still waitin' on that burrito!

"Philistines! I am smarter than you all!" He then strains his brain to have something blue sparking from his forehead, getting everyone's attention. He then touches the black hole machine with it, Amy opening her mouth in disbelief.

"Howard?" Randy wonders in concern. He moves the black hole machine and then activating the black hole machine. Things start to get sucked up in it and the students scream as some of them start getting dragged away.

Jerry gets whisked away from Mrs. Driscoll. "Jerry!"

"So long, doll face," She makes him say while students hang onto their desks. "You'll always anti-matter to me!" He disappears into the black hole as Amy hangs on as best as she can. She then slips, screaming as she's heading for the black hole.

"Smokebomb!"

Ninja appears and then leaps forward, catching her bridal style. He then slides back, jumping and landing behind Howard. He places Amy down gently.

"Howard! What did you do?"

"You're not this crazy evil mastermind!" Amy gestures to him.

Silence, Ninja and Amelia. I require total concentration to power my apparatus.

"You're making that black hole with your brain? Wait, did you just say that in our brains? Is your brain in our brains?"

"Short answer, yes. We gotta stop him!" Amy tells Ninja, clenching her fists. Then she frowns in doubt. "But I-I don't know how!"

"Don't know?! What do you mean, you don't know?!" Ninja grabs her shoulders, shaking her slightly.

Howard conks out and then flies towards the black hole. "Ninja-Snatch!" Ninja grabs his leg with his scarf. "No, we are talking about this! You get back in my brain right now!" He pulls back, but the wind is too strong. "Ninja-Chainsicle!" He grabs the sink with the chain to hold them steady. Amy hugs Ninja's waist. "If Howard's mind can get in our minds, maybe our minds can get in his head. How do I do that?"

"That thing on his forehead, maybe that's a way. But the idea only works out in theory," She tells him and he pulls forward. They reach over to Howard, fastening themselves to him.

"Hope your brain-shields are still down. Cause we're coming in!"

Amy touches the brain power going to the black hole machine, and then Ninja touches her hand. Her eyes conk out just like Howard's, and then Ninja's eyes follow.


Once they open their eyes, they find themselves in a different world that had similarities to Rome with the architecture, but it's more abstract given by the various works of art around.

"Whoa," Ninja murmurs as they step forward. "Howard? You in here?" A sun dial and DNA strands fly above them as they take a look around.

"You know, for Howard's mind, I was expecting something more simplistic..." She comments to him. They stop in front of a building where the doors open and someone floats out of the yellow glow emitting from it.

They both gasp at who steps out.

"Welcome to my mind shaft, Ninja and Amelia." It's Howard, but he's bald, has no shirt, and is wearing a purple flowing skirt with arm guards.

Someone who looks like The Scream painting well...screams nearby. "So, what's with the art?" Ninja jerks a thumb at him.

"Simpleton! They are pure celebrations of a mind given over to intellect! Which, poor Amelia wouldn't have in her mind."

"Alright, that's it!" Amy glares up at him. "I may not be as smart as you, but you can't just insult my own intelligence just because it doesn't match yours!"

"Okay, see I know I said to genius us out of Saturday School, but you've geniused yourself out of Howard," Ninja gestures up to him. "Though, the jerkiness is still there."

Howard snaps his fingers as a drawing compass appears, and soars towards them. They both yelp, jumping in opposite directions to avoid it.

"You have no one to blame but yourselves. You used me to save the Ninja and Kunoichi's reputations."

"What? I never agreed to it!" Amy gestures to herself. "Even when I tried to answer stuff in class, you kept getting people out of class yourself!"

"And how did you figure that out?" He then glances to the brunette. "Wonder if it was the whispery thing?"

"Of course it was the whispery thing!" Howard answers before she could tell him the same thing. "I suppose I should thank you." He makes the drawing compass draw circles around Ninja, and then Amy. When the tool moves away, the circles turn into jail cells for them. "Yes, if it weren't for you I never would have realized my true potential. Such a shame I had to steal it from Amelia, she should've done this a lot sooner."

"There's a reason why I don't go too far! Because otherwise I'd be like you!" She points up at him. "And that's not who I wanna be."

"Well, without your own limited genius, who are you really?"

Her eyes widen and she looks towards the ground, giving a look of doubt in herself.

People hang on as hard as they could to the desks, the chain starting to break. But the trio were still in their own minds.

Ninja manages to climb to the top of the cage, but Howard brings it down so that he lands face-first. He also brings down Amy's and she takes off into a run. Ninja flips, looking up at the drawing compass. He flips and dodges the device as it attacks him.

"Ames! Could use a little help!"

"But I don't have my mask! That's back in the real world!" She gestures to the sky.

"Ninja Circle Maker Tripping Balls!" He throws the silver orbs to trip it, and it wobbles around. He gasps as he ducks his head, the sharp tip stabbing the pillar. He jumps up the pillar, grabbing Amy's waist with his scarf. He pulls her up towards him, catching her in his arms. "Look, I don't know what's going on, but I need your smarts here!"

She looks up at him sadly. "But…my smarts aren't on the same level as him…"

"So what if Howard's supposedly smarter than you? Your smarts are the only thing I need."

She smiles weakly and then the Scream screams again. "You want something to scream about?" Ninja takes out his sword, leaping forward. However, the Scream grabs his sword, confusing them both. He throws Ninja towards the ground, but a DNA strand catches him. It spins him around towards a statue, which reaches out and grabs his legs.

"Uhh..." It punches him onto the ground.

"Ninja!" Amy gasps, sliding down the pillar and rushing over. She bends down to him in concern. He looks up and sees the sun dial spinning around. It drops ink on them and they take off into a run.

"Guess I'm running out the clock," He spins around his scarf like a lasso, grabbing the railing. He hugs Amy's waist with one hand, and they flip onto the platform. Howard just looks away from them. "Really? No boo? Who are you?"

They hear giggling and Amy glances around.

"What was that?"

They look up to see dumb caricatures trapped in a cage, heading towards an incinerator. "What the-?" He gasps sharply at two familiar figures. "Is that the Wiener Fight?"

"Locked away with the rest of the dumb."

"That's it! He's been blocking out all of his dumbness," Amy turns to Ninja. "That's why he's turned into this Howard. Though, I wish I knew how he got smarter besides just being at school on a Saturday."

"Hate to do this, buddy, but we gotta put your super brain out of commission," Ninja narrows his eyes, pointing to his head. "Ninja Conkin Balls!"

He throws them at Howard, but the Scream comes in and swallows them. The dumb drawings laughing at them.

"No, you shoobs, that was a bad thing!" Ninja exclaims at them, the sun dial flying towards Amy. She gasps as she turns around.

"Ninja Cold Balls!" He tosses them, freezing the thing, but it still goes for them. Ninja tackles Amy to the ground and the Scream gets hit by it. Then a ruler slides in, wrapping around the two. They struggle to get out, Amy gritting her teeth.

Outside their minds, the chain breaks further apart...

Ninja turns around from a symbol of Pi floating above them. "Stupid, squiggly double-T!"

"It's pi, Randall," Howard corrects him. Amy feels slightly scared to hear him say Randy's full first name, since he never calls him that.

"No, pie is delicious," Ninja turns around to him. "These are just a bunch of wonkin' numbers! Old Howard would've known that! I don't know how you get these, Ames! And how do you not get sick of us not knowing this?"

"Because it doesn't matter how smart you are!" She grunts a bit, trying to wiggle free. "What matters is loyalty and...well, I like you guys too much to see myself hanging out with anyone else on a daily basis."

"Old Howard is gone. And soon the enemies of intellect shall follow," He looks up at the drawings getting closer to being destroyed.

"When you use a friend, you gain an enemy. I used Howard and turned him into our enemy! Now we need to use his enemy to gain our friend back!"

"Your doodles are of no use here!" Howard waves away the advice near him. "You cannot outsmart me!"

"I can't, but she can! And together, we can out dumb you! Ninja Jump Split!" He jumps and breaks free as Amy racks her brain.

"We're in our own minds, anything can happen here! So technically, if I imagine myself my mask..."

She closes her eyes and her mask appears above her head. "Yeah!" Ninja cheers as it falls over her head. Howard watches in shock as she opens them, white and pink flashing from her. Her hair turns into the braid. She then breaks free on her own, revealing her Kunoichi suit underneath.

She grabs a pillar with her hair as Ninja grabs another one nearby with his scarf. They propel themselves into the air, the DNA strands following after them. Ninja flips off the pillar. "Ninja Twisty Ladder Grab!"

"I seriously need to give you a tutoring lesson," She comments before she jumps off, grabbing onto his hand. They climb up the DNA strand, jumping off. They end up upside down, falling onto a conveyor belt. They watch the dumb get dragged up ahead, standing up. They get faced with the statue, jumping as he attempts to grab them.

"Ninja Swing!" They jump to a higher conveyor belt, knocking him down in the process. "I don't think so!"

"What a joyous pun!" Howard comments over their heads and Kunoichi looks up at him. "The thinking man's humor."

"What? What'd I say? What'd I say?"

"You really haven't been paying attention to anything in here, have you?" Kunoichi rubs a temple, but hides a smile behind her mask.

The dumb get closer to the flames.

"Ninja Open the Door!" He throws a ring to break the lock open, and they just stand there. "Get out of the cage! Man, you guys are dumb!"

They step out, and when the statue gets up there, they walk past him, a panda farting in his face. He then lands on top of the toilet.

"Now he looks like the Stinker," Howard giggles at his own joke, clearing his throat.

The Thinker statue gets flushed down the toilet, causing the boy to giggle again, and he again tries to cover it up.

"It's working!" Ninja points up at him.

"Keep going, guys!"

They jump and land in front of Howard. The wiener and the pickle go up to Pi, who jumps onto the roof of another building. The panda smacks it with a lollipop, and he falls into the pickle's hat. He dances around and Howard crosses his arms, ending up laughing.

"He put pi in his hat!"

Ninja and Kunoichi land on top of another building. "Yes! Embrace your dumb!" Ninja calls out.

"Never!" Howard denies to him, holding his head. A bell rings and he sees the two wieners fighting. He snickers, floating towards the ground.

"Howard, they're wieners..." Ninja steps up to him. "Wearing bun gloves!"

They start hitting each other with the buns, and the two boys burst out laughing. "It's the gloves! The gloves make it!"

"Good to have you back, buddy," Ninja rubs the top of his head.

"And to have things back to normal," Kunoichi murmurs to herself. Howard continues laughing, the buildings breaking apart. Kunoichi steps back from a pillar that could have crushed her.

"Time to go!" Ninja grabs him and Kunoichi runs after the two. They jump through the open door, the Scream screaming until he gets crushed.

Howard's eyes go back to normal as Amy and Ninja open their eyes. "Hey," Ninja greets before the chain breaks, both of them yelping, but then the black hole machine stops working, and they land on the ground before they could get sucked in. The black hole spits out Jerry with a missing arm, who is wearing a feather boa and a sombrero.

"Okay, Saturday School was a bad idea!" The principal states to everyone in class. "Lucky the Ninja was here to save us."

"Isn't it the Ninjas' fault we were here in the first place?" Doug asks him, earning a glare.

"Everyone's dismissed but Doug! Everybody go home except Doug!" The principal declares, everyone else leaving.

"I shouldn't have used you to clean up my mess," Ninja says regrettably as they help up Howard. His hair starts going back to normal. "I will never do it again. Unless I have to."

"Every time!" Howard narrows his eyes as he adjusts his hair. "I hear you every time!"

The three walk out the door as Doug is cleaning up. "Isn't anybody gonna ask how Howard got so smart?"

"Nobody cares, Doug!" Ninja calls out to him.

"Mr. Viceroy, I accidentally injected all of your evil genius juice into a can of Purple McBubble Slam," A robo-ape explains, gesturing to an empty vial. "Should I order a recall?"

"Hmm, space-time didn't fold in on itself," Viceroy comments, looking around his lab. "I think we're good," He goes back to his microscope.


Amy is sitting on her porch, hugging herself with a small sigh. If it wasn't for her, Howard would've still been a genius, but...him undermining her intelligence really got to her—more so than other times where she did something wrong.

"Ames?"

She looks up to see her boyfriend approaching, blinking in surprise.

"Ran? What are you doing here? I thought you went home already."

"I did, but Howard texted me that he was taking pictures of you and Heidi was telling him to stop it but he wouldn't, so she called me. Called me Vandy," He has a blank look on his face, causing her to giggle a bit. "What's wrong?" Randy asks gently, sitting next to her.

"It's just...I'm always the smart one in the group. And when Howard took that away...I just felt kind of useless today. Like I didn't have any purpose besides just being your girlfriend..."

"...You know, you don't always have to be the smart one. I mean, that's not why I asked you out or because I started being nice to you when you started here in Norrisville," He tells the girl, hugging her gently.

"Then why were you so nice to me on my first day?" She wonders, looking up at him.

"Because you're you, Ames. And we don't care if you're smart or not, because you mean more than that to us."

Amy raises a skeptical brow. "Well, mostly me, Howard would never admit that."

She giggles and he smiles. "Thanks Ran."

"Okay. Thank you," She leans up and pecks his lips. She rests her head on his shoulder as they look up at the stars together.
