The class is on a field trip with the principal to Little Norrisville, a little area that is a shopping district with Japanese influences. Randy, Amy, and Howard are behind everyone else as they walk.
"Cash? Check," Randy asks as the two boys hold up some money in their hands. "Map? Check." The two bring their hands together to complete the map. Both their hands have a half of the map. "Memorized copy of the map in case we lose it?"
"Check," Amy chuckles at him. She normally would've stayed for the history, but she's already read up on Little Norrisville. And she also got a bunch of information from Kat, Howard, Heidi, and Randy. So she didn't really want to hear a repeat of information that she already knows.
"Annual field trip to Little Norrisville, prepare to get ditched!" Howard declares with a smug grin. "Now we just wait for our moment..." They sneak up to the group, who are listening to Principal Slimovitz.
"Ah! There's history everywhere you look. Take this sidewalk. It's positively teeming with history," He gestures to the sidewalk. One of the students lifts his shoe to find that he has gum stuck underneath it. And for some reason everyone decides to look at it.
"A-bing, a-go," Randy leads the two away from the group.
They arrive at the All-Time Super Good Number One Shopping Emporium. "Sweet cheese, guys, this store has everything," Howard states to his friends. "Even sweet cheese," He points to a box full of Sugar Cow Sweet Cheese.
"I've been wanting to come to this store for a while now," Amy smiles a bit. "They've got a lot of obscure stuff here."
"Focus, you two, we're shortchanging our education for one mouth-puckering reason: Super Samurai Sour Bombs."
"I told you, I'm not here for those," Amy sighs a little, pinching her nose. "You know that I prefer only mildly sour stuff. Those Sour Bombs would burn my mouth off if I even just look at them." She was only exaggerating, but she really does not like extremely sour candy.
"But it's Super Samurai Sour Bombs!" Randy pouts at her. "You've been in Norrisville for a year, and we've gotta celebrate it!"
"Okay, the field trip thing was convenient towards me being here for a year. But I would rather spend it with my lips intact."
"That's true, I prefer solid lips," The taller boy rubs his chin. "If they fall off, I wouldn't be able to enjoy having a girlfriend as much."
"Ha ha," She rolls her eyes in amusement. "Very funny. Anyway, I'm here to buy-"
"Ooh! Sushi phone!" Howard gets distracted by a phone that is in the shape of a shrimp sushi.
"Super Samurai Sour Bombs," Randy reminds him.
"See-through eye patch!" Howard walks up to the display, putting it on.
"Super Samurai Sour Bombs!" Randy repeats slowly so he'll remember.
"The see-through eye patch is lame anyway," Amy tells the shorter boy. They then look up ahead to see exactly what they're looking for.
"Super Samurai Sour Bombs. Four out of five dentists recommend that you don't go anywhere near these things."
"Aww...I want those!" Howard exclaims, gesturing to the display in front of them. "But also these! And those!" He groans loudly and Amy shakes her head at him. "The hardest thing is deciding what I don't want."
"There'll be other days...or years I guess," Amy shrugs at him.
"We came for Sour Bombs!" Randy exclaims quickly. "Let's get these and whatever Ames wants before Slimovitz realizes we're gone. Quick, Ames, meet me at the counter, I'll go get what you came here for!"
"Huh? You know what I want from here?" She asks in confusion.
"Of course! I know you like the back of my hand!" He holds up his right hand.
"Oh yeah?" She raises a brow smugly. "If you can guess correctly by bringing back the right thing, I'll pay for those Sour bombs."
"Sweet! You're on," Randy points at her, giving her the box and running off. She then runs for the register.
Howard is about to follow when he hears a noise. He turns around, eyeing the area before he steps into a darker section of the store. He walks up to a shelf, finding a cat idol with three green marks on the front of it. He takes it into his hands with a smile.
"Ah!" The shopkeeper walks up to him. "I see you have found the idol of Infinite Wishes," His left eye twitches creepily.
"Idol of Infinite Wishes?" Howard stares down at the idol, which just seems like a normal cat idol.
"According to legend, it will give you all your heart desires," The man grabs a stool to get a marker from the top shelf. The boy glances over to the price, which is more than half of what he actually has on him at almost 400 dollars. He'd have to sell everything in his room just to get the idol.
"Whoa! My heart desires it to be cheaper." As soon as he says that, the idol's eyes glow green, a wave of power washing over them. The man slips and falls off his stool, his marker crossing out the price so that it's only 10 dollars.
"Infinite wishes for only 9.99?!" Howard walks off with a smile, the man scoffing.
"Be warned: he who receives all he desires winds up with nothing."
"But, for only 9.99, right?" Howard asks skeptically, hearing a groan.
"Ugggh! Now I gotta pay for these Sour Bombs..." He hears Amy complain as Randy is leaning against her smugly. He's holding a box of gummy bears, but they're in the shape of panda bears. He hums slightly as he watches her give the cashier the money.
"Ha!" The two end up laughing once they exit the store. "A magic idol?! A magic idol?!"
"You're saying that like you don't believe it," Howard deadpans at them.
"We don't believe it! You are such a gullible shoob!" Randy points down at him.
"Every person who wants to make a sale would say stuff like that just to make a quick buck. And it's called advertising," Amy points out to the boy, laughing as she gives Randy the sour bombs. "Honestly, it's hilarious that you fell for that. A wish-granting idol is ridiculous, that's not logical."
"Laugh it up. I got a thing that gives me all the things," Howard replies back confidently. "All you guys got is one box of candy."
"Uh, dangerously sour candy," Randy answers eagerly, opening the box.
"Hey! Don't say that about Pan-Pan Gummies, they are not just candy!" Amy exclaims in defense, huffing as she opens hers.
"Aw, I can smell the sour," Howard looks at Randy's box.
"And I'll tell you how it tastes, in a week, when I get the feeling back in my lips," Randy grins widely, Howard staring after him.
"I still can't believe I had to pay for those. I didn't even tell you what I was going to buy," Amy glances up at him.
"Told you I know you!" He smiles as she silently eats a gummy.
"Hmm...Huh, wish I had a Super Samurai Sour Bomb."
The wish is granted as Randy trips just as he's about to eat one. The sour bomb hits the wall, flies past Howard, and hits a pair of headphones. Then it ends up in Howard's mouth for him to eat. Randy's hand slips as he drops the rest of the candy down into the sewers. He groans at this as Amy blinks in disbelief.
"What just happened?"
"Why is my Super Samurai Sour Bomb in your mouth?" Randy demands to his best friend, who continues eating it.
"Mmm! So sour. Cunningham, you would have loved this! What should I wish for next?"
"That wasn't a wish. It was a coincidence," Randy explains to him.
"Anyone could've tripped, and then it could've happened in the exact same way," Amy crosses her arms.
"Mmmmm. Doesn't taste like coincidence." He giggles as he walks off. Randy and Amy follow him.
"Ames, can I have one-"
"No!" She snaps at him, hissing as she hugs her candy close. "This is mine!" His eyes widen as he steps back from her in slight fear. She then puts on a sweet smile as if nothing happened. "Anyway, I could just go and get you another box, Ran. I still have more money on me."
"Nah, I don't want to take advantage of you like that..." Randy rubs his neck awkwardly. "But thanks."
The man from the shop is walking around when he sees someone standing in front of the shelf. He's in a red and beige cloak to disguise himself as he...sniffs the shelf. The manager chuckles as he steps forward.
"Yes, sir? Can I help you?"
The newcomer has yellow slanted eyes behind the darkness inside the cloak. "It...was here. There was an ancient relic upon this shelf. A source of unfathomable power. Where...is it?!"
The man shrieks in fear of him.
The trio return to the group just in time. "And that's the exciting story of how 13th century Norrisvillains turned wheat into wheat paste." The three sneak back up to the group as if they didn't just come back from the store.
"You know what the best part about having a wishing idol is? You two being wrong," Howard brags to the duo, earning groans.
"There is no such thing as wishes!" Amy hisses to him in annoyance.
"Principal Slimovitz, I have a question," Doug raises a hand. "But it's actually seven questions in one."
Amy's eyes widen at him, wondering just what he had to ask... "I hate Doug...so much!" Howard glares at the back of his head.
"Too bad there's nothing you can do about it. Oh wait, what am I saying? You have a magic wishing doll," Randy mocks him.
"More like an excuse to make Howard feel like he's right about something that doesn't exist," Amy rolls her eyes.
"First of all, it's an idol. Second of all, no. And third of all...I do!" He smiles as he realizes he can just wish for it. He whispers into the idol's ear and the eyes glow, granting Howard his wish.
"Which leads to question 1A: Can you get sick from wheat germs-" A fly just happens to go into his mouth, making him choke.
The store manager shakes in fear as the customer is holding him above ground. "Why do you want it? I-it's just garbage I sell to the tourists."
The power of the idol can suddenly be felt. "You're not a tourist, are you?" The manager asks him in fear. He's suddenly dropped by the mystery person as he runs off for some reason.
The class is staring at Doug choking, and doing nothing to help him. "Doesn't prove anything," Randy denies to Howard, who has a knowing smirk on his face. "Bugs fly into Doug's mouth all the time."
"Yeah, every single trip we've been on with him has ended in that way," Amy agrees with him.
"But this is the first time I wished for it," Howard points out with a small chuckle. "Well, the first time it worked."
"Just because you asked for something that happens to Doug all the time does not mean it's a magical wishing idol. It's just not possible," Amy shakes her head slowly.
"Fun fact: Ancient Norrisvillains used paint so wet, some of it's still drying," Principal Slimovitz tells the students. "And we can watch it dry at The Museum of Watching Paint Dry!"
"I would rather rewatch how sand is made than do that," Amy whispers to Randy, and he laughs at her statement.
"I thought you loved this kind of educational stuff," He teases her a bit.
"If it's gonna be educational, I don't want something as wonk as watching paint dry."
The cloaked person from the store arrives at their location, staring intensely at Amy with Randy. He narrows his eyes at them, and then he sees the idol in Howard's hands.
"Ugh, I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather be back in school," Randy states to the two.
"Would you say you wish you were back in school?" Howard questions with a small smirk, leaning in towards Amy.
"Stop it, that's not the point," Amy gently pushes him away from her.
"I wish we weren't here."
"Allow me," Howard whispers into the idol to make another wish, and the fly finally escapes from Doug's mouth. It flies towards Bash, who tries to swat it away. But while doing so, he hits a statue, and its head flies off. Then it hits an object from another statue, propelling it to the one behind Slimovitz. The axe falls right behind him and he yelps.
"Okay..." His pants fall down since the axe sliced them off. "Field trip's over!" The other statues start falling and the three gasp at each other.
"Straight to the bus. No eye contact with security," The principal orders them as they make a break for it. "And if anybody inquires, we found it this way."
The bus takes off with all of the students in it.
"Admit it!" Howard exclaims at the duo. "You believe in the Idol of Infinite Wishes!" He holds it up and Randy puts it down.
"We believe in the Idol of Infinite Coincidences."
"Wishes are as common as unicorns if you wanna put it like this," Amy rolls her eyes in disbelief.
Their Nomicons buzz from their bags and they take them out. "Oh no! You're gonna jump in and take their sides!" Howard accuses them both.
"At least they'd confirm that you're just talking nonsense and that this is the real world," Amy points out, earning a laugh from Randy.
The Creep, who is driving the bus, squints his eyes and sees the cloaked man from the store...who is standing in the middle of the road! He glares at the bus driver, who honks his horn for him to get out of the way. However, the person doesn't budge from his spot.
Howard glares at the glowing books. "I wish you'd stay out of this!"
The idol glows and the Creep swerves out of the way, knocking the books out of their hands. The bus turns around and goes in the opposite direction. The cloaked person jumps and then lands at the window. He looks straight at Amy, unnerving her as they look towards the front.
"Who the honk is that?!" Randy exclaims at the newcomer. The Creep swerves again, only to crash into the archway of Little Norrisville. Principal Slimovitz jumps out the back, still holding onto his fallen pants.
"Run! Run for your precious lives!"
The students run out screaming. "Say what you want, I just shut down the Nomicons," Howard smirks at the duo.
"If that psycho didn't give me the creeps just now, I'd smack you," Amy grunts at him. It's kind of weird, though, because she hasn't felt like this since they visited Snow-Klahoma... "Why do I feel like I know him...?"
"Howard, you shut down the Nomicons only 'cause that shoob landed on the—you know what?" Randy looks outside as the cloaked person moves right past them. He glances briefly at the brunette and she shivers, inching closer to Randy. "We'll talk about this later." He takes off his seatbelt and they pull out their masks. "It's Ninja time!"
They transform in the bus.
"Smokebomb!" The duo appear side-by-side in front of the school bus. "I don't know who you are, what you want, or why you're wearing a cloak in this heat, but-"
The cloaked stranger suddenly zaps him with green magic, but not Kunoichi for some reason. He lifts Ninja into the air and then tosses him into a roof of a building. Kunoichi opens her mouth in shock as gongs roll out of the gong store. Ninja is sitting on a pile of them, and crashing into them had sounded them off.
"So loud," Ninja groans as he covers his ears. "Feel gongs...inside my teeth."
The cloaked stranger steps forward to the white-haired girl and she backs away immediately, a little frightened. He reaches forward towards the bus, pulling some windows apart to reveal Howard.
"Oh, hey. Sup?" He greets the stranger nervously.
"The idol!" He glares at him, and Howard hugs it close.
"Get your own, they're like ten bucks!"
The stranger then slowly reaches out to the idol, only for white hair to stop his wrist. He looks towards Kunoichi's braided hair pulling his hand away from Howard.
"Get away from my friend!"
"I wish you'd just go away!" Howard squeezes his eyes shut and the idol glows as the stranger is about to break free from Kunoichi. He growls at her and she narrows her eyes at him.
"Ninja Scarf Snag!"
Ninja's scarf grabs his other wrist, but the stranger pulls him back and forth repeatedly like a ping pong paddle. "My face, my face, my face, my chest, my face."
"Let him go now!" Kunoichi throws her scarf at his right hand, but he snatches it and pulls her forward. She yelps a bit, trying to get him to let go of her.
"I wish you'd let them go!" Howard calls out from behind, and Ninja's scarf breaks once he's flung into the air. Kunoichi's hair unravels even though she hadn't touched it, and it starts to choke the stranger's neck. This causes him to let go of the girl, who falls onto the ground in front of him. Meanwhile, Ninja lands into the Shopping Emporium sign. He lands roughly in front of the entrance. "Not like that! What the juice, idol?"
Kunoichi runs up to Ninja, bending down to him. "Are you okay?" She asks him gently and she gets a groan in response. She tries to help him up as that hit was a little too hard.
"Ninja...Boom...balls," He tosses them to the cloaked stranger with as much strength as he can, falling into Kunoichi's arms. Her eyes widen in concern for him as she lowers his head onto her lap. The boom balls explode, sending the stranger flying away. It also flew Ninja and Kunoichi into the air, and they land in front of their friend. "I'm...okay." He cracks some of his bones and they let him lean against their hands. "Nope. Not okay."
"Who was that honkin' shoob, anyway? And why's he after the idol?" Kunoichi glares to where he disappeared.
"Ask questions never! We gotta get him outta here," Howard reminds her. She helps him with getting Ninja up, and they lead him into the Shopping Emporium for shelter. "Good thing I had the idol to save your cheese. Every time you got in trouble, I wished you out of it."
"That is not what happened!" Ninja insists while being tended to by Kunoichi. She presses some alcohol to one of his bruises. "Ahh, ahh! Kuno, ease up on the medical attention, will ya?"
"You need to at least do something about your injuries! I am not losing you today, Ninja!" She argues back to him, and his eyes widen at her. He then sighs in defeat as she continues tending to him. Kunoichi glances over her shoulder to Howard. "And again, not wishes, coincidences."
Howard gives them a look that says 'really?' "Okay, I don't know what happened."
"I'll tell you what happened; my idol saved your butts," Howard insists to the duo.
"Like cheese it did!" Kunoichi turns around to yell at him. "After all that, he's lucky to even be alive, let alone move!"
"Yeah, that idol shoobed my butt!" Ninja agrees with her. "And Slimovitz's, and Doug's."
"Ha!" Howard laughs at the last one. "That was awesome, that thing that happened to Doug."
"Maybe you should get rid of it," Ninja tells him and Kunoichi crosses her arms.
"First good suggestion ever since he's gotten the thing."
"Maybe you should get rid of it," Howard retorts back to them.
"Fine. I will!" Ninja then tackles Howard for it, who fights back.
"No, it's mine!" They roll onto the floor past Kunoichi while fighting and she rolls her eyes at their immaturity.
"I wish you'd let go!" Ninja calls out while Howard is gripping his mask.
"I wish you'd let go!" Howard states while his friend's finger is in his nose. Kunoichi steps in between them.
"Howard, there's a guy who is after it, and what do you think he'll do when he wants to get it from you?!"
The idol slips out of their hands and then breaks onto the floor. Something is actually inside the idol and Kunoichi squints at the object.
"What the juice?" She murmurs in confusion.
"Oh!"
The boys look up, gasping when they see the broken idol. Howard moves away the broken pieces to reveal that it's one of the Sorcerer's Balls!
"A Sorcerer Ball?!" Ninja is about to take it when Kunoichi stops him.
"Wait, don't touch it, you'll get corrupted!"
"Oh yeah, almost forgot."
"Here," She lets down her hair, opening it up so that he can safely place it there.
"That thing's full of weird powers! I bet that's why your wishes are coming true!"
"So you admit it's a wishing idol!" Howard smirks at them knowingly.
"Now? W-We're doing this now? Really, Howard?" Kunoichi stammers at him in disbelief.
"Well, yes about the idol, but no. Technically, it's a Sorcerer's Ball."
"Yeah. In a wishing idol," Howard points out to them.
"In a non-magical porcelain statue..."
"That grants wishes," The shorter boy finishes for him.
"Oh, can we please move on!" Kunoichi snaps in frustration and they clamp their mouths shut. "My question is, how did it end up in a porcelain statue for Howard to find?"
"Ninja~! Kunoichi~!" The cloaked stranger calls out from outside. They run to the window, gasping as they see him looking for the duo. Several leaves fall off of his cloak. "The ball will be mine!"
"No matter what happens to us, you cannot let him have the ball," Ninja states as Kunoichi rips off a piece of her scarf. She then wraps it around the Sorcerer Ball so that it'll be safe for Howard to hold. They're about to go outside when Ninja turns around. "Also, do not wish for anything."
"Yeah, but I can wish for a sandwich, right?" Howard chuckles, earning looks from the duo. "No, no, okay. Yeah, I'll wait for lunch."
"You better. If I find out you wished for one, you won't see any desserts for a week," Kunoichi tells him as they leave. His stomach growls and he pouts a little.
The two stand several feet away from the stranger, who has his back turned to them. "Hey, before I beat the cheese out of you, do us the solid of letting us know who we're beating the cheese out of."
"Why, Ninja and my white queen, don't you recognize me?" He moves away the cloak to reveal himself as Ghoulian, or otherwise known as...
"No honkin' way...Evil Julian?!" Kunoichi exclaims in shock, eyes going wide. He laughs evilly and Ninja shakes his head rapidly.
"Evil Julian?! I thought you were dea—not—um, al—living."
"No wonder why he felt familiar to me!" Kunoichi growls at him a bit.
"Where...is...the ball?" He demands them.
"Like we'll tell you, you creepy shoob!" Kunoichi balls her fists as she glares at him.
"Some place you'll never find it."
"...In that store you just walked out of?" He points to the store and the girl facepalms.
"What?! No, it's not...n-not there. Nope," Ninja leans against the wall. Ghoulian charges towards the duo, laughing in delight. The two throw their scarves at him, spinning him around in the air. He lands safely, growling at the two. They try to attack, but he grabs Ninja with one of his lapels and tosses him to the other side.
"Hey!" Kunoichi protests, getting wrapped up by the other one. She tries to break free, but it's a tight hold. Ghoulian punches at Ninja repeatedly, who uses his wrists to block the blows.
"I sure wish I could help him," Howard states, activating the power of the Sorcerer Ball. But the liquid inside of it diminishes a little. Ghoulian gets distracted by the power of the wish and he drops Kunoichi in the process. Ninja leaps away from him, sliding as he holds out his arms. He catches Kunoichi in one quick swoop, and then kicks Ghoulian from behind. He helps her stand up and she dusts herself off.
"You okay, Kuno?"
"I will be after we kick his butt," She sends a glare to Ghoulian.
"Hmm? What the ball juice?" Howard moves away a part of the scarf to look at the ball.
He who receives all he desires winds up with nothing.
"I sure wish I knew what that meant." He wastes another wish, and the liquid level goes to about halfway through. He gasps sharply as he gets an idea. "I know what to do!" He heads outside, one of the shelves falling to reveal the manager.
"Hello..."
Ninja throws his Ninja rings at Ghoulian, but he dodges them like they're nothing. They sprint around him, throwing their rings again, but he spins around his arms to deflect every single one. Ghoulian grabs Ninja with his lapels, bringing him forward.
"I won't stop until I have the ball, and my queen by my side."
"No way am I going anywhere with you!" Kunoichi grits her teeth at him, about to step forward.
"Give me the ball, or I'll crush him!"
She pales a bit as she stops walking, sweating.
"Oh, you want the ball?!" Howard calls out from behind before she could say anything. "It's right here!"
"Howard! What are you doing?!" Ninja protests to him. "We said don't let him get the ball."
"Yeah, but the ball is losing juice with every wish. If I make enough wishes, it'll be useless!"
"And then he won't be able to use it!" Kunoichi gasps in realization.
"But your wishes hurt people! Usually me!" Ninja points out, and then Ghoulian starts to squeeze him.
"Stop it, you're hurting him!" The white-haired girl shouts in anger. She throws her hair, only for it to get blocked by a lapel.
"Changed my mind! Wish Howard! Wish for everything you've ever wanted!"
"No one desires enough to exhaust its power completely," Ghoulian states to him.
"Evil Julian, meet Howard Weinerman," Ninja gestures to the boy, who clicks his teeth.
"I wish for...sushi phones!" A truck passes by once he makes that wish, using the hat to blind the driver. He swerves around until he crashes into the store, the back opening up. Boxes fall out, one of them knocking Ninja away from Ghoulian. Then another box hits Kunoichi in the guts, knocking her onto the road.
"Sorry!" Howard calls out as sushi phones cover them.
"All good! Keep going!" Ninja calls out in pain.
"Ooh, that hurt...that hurt so bad," Kunoichi hugs her stomach with a wince.
"See-through eye patches! Bamboo socks!"
The driver wakes up and sees Ghoulian from the rearview mirror. He steps on the pedal, knocking down several shelves in the process. Some of them fly out onto the duo, and then more fly out with the things that Howard wanted.
"You're wasting all the evil!" Ghoulian screams at Howard.
"Exactly," He replies smugly, looking towards the ball. "Toilet seat heaters! Toilet seat coolers!"
Ghoulian tries to stop him, but Ninja and Kunoichi pop out of the pile of boxes. "Ninja Kuno Cyborg Kick!" They leap forward at the same time, kicking him away from Howard. They knock him into one of the fallen shelves, causing the others to fall.
"Bottle closers! Clock washers! Edible forks! MP5 players!" Howard keeps wishing and Ninja pulls out a tiny black ball.
"Ninja Tiny Giant Exploding Ball!" He's about to toss it when one of the shelves falls on him, and he tosses it into the ceiling by accident.
"Doggie dentures! Y-ray glasses, 'cause x-rays are played out!"
The ceiling explodes with the tiny exploding ball, causing a whole bunch of boxes to fall over them, taking them out of the store. Ninja sits up with a pair of glasses and fake teeth. He shakes them off his face as Kunoichi sits up, a Scream mask over her face. She knocks it off and when they stand up, Ninja has boots over his hands. He just shakes them off.
"Wait, where's Evil Julian?" Kunoichi glances around for him.
A hand grabs her leg and she yelps, kicking Ghoulian in the face to get him off. He tosses Ninja into a box, where he finds a few neck pillows. Ghoulian is about to attack Howard when some neck pillows are thrown to capture him. Then Kunoichi wraps him around her hair and cuts it to trap him.
"And a neon sign that says how honkin' Bruce I am!" Howard smiles as he wastes the last of the evil power. The sign above his head is with a neck pillow, knocking it down. He runs away as Ghoulian screams, the sign landing on him. Most of the letters go away to reveal just 'I'm Number One.'
"Howard, you did it!" Ninja cheers for him. Howard runs up to the two as Ninja helps up his girlfriend. "The sign was a nice touch."
"Yeah, and so was using everything from the store to get rid of the power," Kunoichi admits to him.
They hear a noise, turning around to see that Ghoulian has escaped. "Aw, man, Julian's gone. Or at least, Evil One. I was just about to put so much hurt on him," Ninja punches his hands together. "Especially since he kept trying to kidnap Kuno!"
"You would've beat him so hard!" Howard yells in agreement.
"So honkin' hard! Smoke. Bomb," The two leave Howard behind and he swats away the rest of the fart/strawberry cloud.
Principal Slimovitz has a happy smile on his face as he turns around to the students. "Now remember, if anyone inquires, stick to the story; we were at the zoo." The other half of the bus is still ripped apart, though...
"We learned some big stuff today," Randy turns to Howard while the three are sitting in the back. "We learned that Evil Cyborg Julian's still out there and after Ames. We learned that you can buy a Sorcerer Ball for the same price as a box of Super Samurai Sour Bombs. And...I guess...I learned that I shouldn't doubt you when you say you have a wishing idol."
"Yeah, I shouldn't have either. But then again, how were we supposed to know that the idol even had a Sorcerer Ball?" Amy shrugs at him.
"Hmm?" Howard turns to them, wearing a see-through eye patch and holding a sushi phone. He's surrounded by several other stuff he wanted from the store that he couldn't afford. "Sorry, I was on the ol' sushi phone. What'd you say?"
"...Nothing. Nothing. At least there's one less ball to worry about," He places it next to him, wrapping an arm around Amy. The ball falls on the floor, rolls out into the street, and then falls on a sewer. The bus tire smashes it to bits, with one green drop falling into the sewer grate and a green cloud explodes...
Amy raises a brow, glancing behind her. "Did you guys hear something?"
"If you mean a small explosion, then no," Howard states to her. Randy looks down at the girl.
"Just...be careful, Ames, okay? Ghoulian could target you at any time."
"Even if he tries to, I'll just Kuno out. You know me. Besides, we'll be seeing him pretty soon anyway..." She rests her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. "I'm gonna take a nap. It's been one long field trip..."
He smiles as he rests her cheek on her hair.
Amy and Randy sit on her porch, looking up at the stars. "We haven't done this in a while," He puts his hands behind his back and she rolls her eyes in amusement.
"Yeah...are you okay, by the way? You took a nasty p'woning with Evil Julian..." She frowns in worry and he flexes his muscles.
"I'm a-okay! What about you?"
"I'm just fine," She chuckles at him, nuzzling into him. "Though I can't help but think about the regular Julian and where he is."
"I know. But we'll find him one of these days," He turns to her, confused to see her eyes narrowed.
"I wouldn't be surprised if that psycho Julian had anything to do with it! And it's already bad enough that he's a part of Julian, so his crush on me has changed into this creepy queen stuff." She shudders a bit, hugging herself.
"No matter what, I won't let him have you," Randy declares to her and she smiles.
"I know. Thanks for making me feel safe..."
He hugs her with a small smile of his own, his heart beating fast. This warm feeling...he knew what it was. Now if he could only just tell her that he loved her...
