Priya: Heyo! This is a request from Cristina Correa. Thank you so much! I only went for the first one, Julian's Birthday Surprise, because the moment I watched the whole episode, I immediately found the right place to put the romance in.

Author's Game Note: Although, I love the second part because of how adorable Randy was, my favorite is actually letter A. I couldn't stop laughing for 3 minutes on that part. Sorry you didn't get the right one, but thank you for playing!

Review Responses (Thank you ):

(Better Gamer) KagamiPINKAgreste: Yeah, I thought it was cool if they already had their numbers so they can call each other. Yep, we know Howard enough to do that. Really didn't want to put that in because I'm having a love triangle with Adrigami and Adrinette :P. Heh, yeah, better luck next time, Paris boy! ^u^

It's true she can't always win, I tried to make sure she knew that, but also made her a challenging girl ^3^. Thanks, I love thinking Randy would call them 'Paris girl/boy' or any other nickname, I also thought the quartet would do the same. Please, do forgive me for adding that, I just had to for the sake of making Marinette actually drop the controller ?. Yep, you can say the Eiffel Tower was split in half or broken multiple times.

I… don't really know what to say here, hehe- mostly because I don't remember which episode this was ^^. Ok, the 'tying Kagami up' part also made me pissed. Yeah, they'll need the luck. Hehe!

(Better Gamer) Ritsel Abuan: Thank you! I know Randy's favorite game is Grave Puncher, but I didn't actually know Marinette's was Ultimate Mecha Strike III. Interesting video games.

- More Julian x Rachel on this one.

- Mostly Rachel's POV/scenes.

Rachel was walking across the street to reach the bus stop. She was invited to one of her classmates' birthday, Julian. Rachel was ecstatic to go to his party because Julian told her that it was to be a magical party, you can say she was… all and all excited.

A bus stopped in front of her and she entered the said vehicle. She sat down on the back to right of the bus as the bus started to move again. She was a bit far from the *Magic Funporium, knowing that because she's 'Tricked or Treated' there already. Knowing that she's still far from the party, she took a small 5-minute nap.

Rachel woke up to see green gas. "Huh? Is this a dream?" she asked herself as she put a finger on her chin, "Or perhaps a nightmare?"

"You can assume it is both," a familiar voice said in the dark.

"Who are you?" Rachel asked, seeming a little nervous now.

"Who I am does not matter, what matters is that I will see you again sooner," the mysterious voice from the darkness spoke.

Suddenly, a light was shining not too far away from Rachel as she felt her consciousness arise.

She woke up to see the bus had stopped. "Oh," she said in a sudden surprise. She stood up and grabbed her bag with her and walked out of the bus. "Thank you, sir," she politely thanked the bus driver with a smile, who had a cowboy hat and a sly smirk on his face.

Rachel stepped out of the bus stop to see the dazzling, bizarre place. Is this even for real? She was not sure of it. Nonetheless, she walked towards the door. She was nearing the door when she saw two familiar boys that she knew from school were talking about something.

"Randy? Howard? What are they doing here?" she mentally asked herself, "Wait, why does Randy have a pink purse?"

She knew it was bad to eavesdrop on people, but she felt like she needed to snoop the two of them. She was about to hide on something when she felt someone hold her shoulder. She turned to see that it was Debbie.

"Hi Rachel, what were you doing just now?" she asked, confused.

Rachel could only blink at that, she was confused herself on what she was about to do, "Oh, I actually don't know, I was just about to go in, to be honest," she said sheepishly.

Debbie was skeptical about the band geek girl's behavior, but let it slide. She knew Rachel was a sweetheart anyway, "Hm, okay then, come on in, let's go inside," she said as she held on to Rachel's hand and dragged the clarinet girl in.

Rachel still felt like she needed to see the the said teens started to walk in the place as well. She felt like something big might happen, and those two were gonna be the cause of it. Although, she was no fortune cookie to say that so she shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Debbie and Rachel were now inside the party's lobby room, where few other people were chattering amongst themselves. "Hey Rachel, I have to go find 'Resa, maybe you could stay here for a moment," Debbie said, having a nervous grin on her face. Rachel smiled and nodded her head, "Sure thing, Debbie," she said. Debbie nodded her head as she head off to find Theresa. (Did you see what I did there? Ok, I'll go-).

Rachel sat on a nearby bench when she realized that she was still cradling the present she made for Julian. "I should probably give this to him already," she thought with a smile as she stood back up to find the goth boy. She was about to go to the illusionary part of the place when she found Julian with, you guessed it, Randy and Howard. Confused, she walked a bit closer toward the trio but tried not to let herself be noticed.

"Is this your card?" Julian asked while he had a card dangling on his mouth.

Randy and Howard had deadpanned faces, "I didn't… pick a card?" Randy said as if it was the most obvious thing in the history of obviousness.

Rachel saw Julian's face drop, "I'll never be a great magician!" Julian said, making Rachel's smile fall. She didn't really like it when other people give up on their dreams easily.

Then, Howard said, "You couldn't be the worst magician." Rachel's face had a confused expression. Why the juice would he even say that when Julian already looked upset?

Julian looked like he was about to cry a river when he said, "My birthday is ruined!" he screamed, "Ruined!" as he ran off to the boys' restroom.

Rachel was upset to see her classmate upset, so she followed him before he could go inside the restroom.

"Julian, wait!" she yelled as she followed him, but the goth boy seemed like he didn't hear her please as he kept on running.

With all the speed her little legs can take her, she had the chance to grab on to Julian's hand before he could run any further.

"Let go of me!" Julian pleaded. The people that were around them were now looking at them. Truthfully, Rachel thought Julian was being a bit overdramatic, but she knew that having big dreams would mean it would be hurtful to know when someone tells you that you would fail being what you want to be.

With all the strength Julian had to muster, he got Rachel to let go of him as he continued to run away from the duo and her. Rachel was about to follow him again when Julian had already reached the boys' restroom. When Rachel thought that maybe it's best if she just let him go, Randy walked over her and went into the same room Julian went in.

Rachel, being curious of what's gonna happen, went near the door to listen to their conversation. She put an ear on the side of the door and a finger on her other ear.

"Julian, you okay?" she heard Randy say.

"Depends, is this your card?" Julian asked, she didn't know what the card was so she just continued to listen to them.

"And, again, I haven't picked a card yet," she heard Randy say in a deadpanned tone that made her stifle a laugh a little.

She, then, heard Julian whimper a little, "Forget it Randy, I'm a failure," Julian said. Somehow, that made Rachel have a lump on her throat. She knows she hates it when someone gives up on their dreams, but when she hears someone say that they're a failure, that just makes her 10x more sad.

"Do you wanna… talk about it?" Randy asked, but his tone sounded as if he didn't really want to.

"Oh, I couldn't," Julian said, "... My love of magic started when I was 4," he started. Rachel heard Randy groan, telling her that he really didn't want to listen to Julian's story.

"Or was it 3?" Julian thought to himself aloud, making Randy groan from boredom again.

"Uh, better be safe and start at 2," Julian then said, making Randy sigh for what felt like the 100th time, even though it was only the 3rd time.

Rachel then saw a faint red light on the floor holes of the door after Randy mumbled something she didn't understand.

A few moments of the story Julian was telling, the said goth boy got out of the restroom with a bag on his hand. "Hey Julian," Rachel greeted, "You look better now," she said before turning to the bag the said birthday boy was holding, "Wait, isn't that Randy's purse?"

Julian nodded, "Oh, it is, he let me 'borrow' it for the time being," he said in a way that it felt like he lied, "Oh, I must go, toodaloo Rachel, darling," he waved her a goodbye. Rachel didn't know how to respond to that as she felt her cheeks heat up. I mean, she could've responded if it wasn't for the fact that the goth boy called her "darling". Either way, maybe it's just his way of calling people when he feels better or happy. Yeah, that should be it.

She dusted herself off and was about to head over to the illusionary part of the Magic Funporium, when Randy suddenly burst out of the door and ran towards Howard.

"Howard, I think Julian has the bag!" Rachel heard Randy exclaim in a panic.

"You let Julian hold the bag!?" Howard exclaimed, "I wanted to hold the bag," he then said in a disappointed tone.

"I didn't let him," Randy groaned, "I can't talk about this right now!" he said as he ran while yelling out Julian's name, in hopes that he could find the goth boy.

Rachel was confused all day and now she wanted to have answers, so she followed Randy to find the said birthday boy.

Rachel followed Randy as the said purple-haired boy opened a curtain where Flute Girl and Stevens were taking pictures, "Would you mind? We're making memories here!" Flute Girl said in an annoyed tone. Rachel stifled a giggle as Flute Girl closed the curtain and Randy ran to another area.

Randy opened the door to see a random kid pretending to fly as he screamed, "I'm flying!" Randy had a confused face as he walked casually on the random kid. Then, stopped at the Lost and Found section.

"Ugh, always check the lost and found!" Randy scolded himself as he went inside the room. Rachel slowly followed the secret ninja as she saw Julian inside the lost and found. He seemed like he was looking at a green light while giggling a little creepily.

"Julian, buddy, you okay?" Randy asked, somewhat nervous, "You don't feel weird, or strange, or evil...ish?" Randy asked as he glanced around everything. Why would he think Julian would feel evil? Was it because of his purse or something? Rachel was not sure as she hid behind a giant box to ensure her presence.

"Evil-ish? Oh, heavens no," Julian said casually, but Randy didn't look very convinced.

"I'm just gonna take this," Randy said as he snatched his purse back to him. Julian denied and tried to keep his hold on to it, but Randy held it tight enough for him to take it away from the goth boy. Randy left Julian inside the lost and found as the poor boy started to sob, only for Julian's eyes to glow and laugh in a creepy way that sent shivers down Rachel's spine. The clarinet girl got out of the room without being seen by the goth.

When she left the lost and found, the lights went out and all you could see is pink lights. "Guests of Julian's birthday party," a voice said, "There is no escape… FROM FUN! In my illusionarium!"

Rachel was confused, but her confusion was turned into realization as the voice was from the magician guy from the illusionarium. She started to walk, along with a few other people, to the theater-like illusionarium.

"Join me for a vo-yage, into the world of ma-geec," Sinjin Knightfire, the illusionist, said as Rachel took a seat beside Theresa and Debbie.

Behind the curtain of the theater-like illusionarium, Julian was staring at a certain purple-haired teens purse. (Ok, seriously, that does not sound right-)

He stopped to check on Sinjin Knightfire, who was practicing on his magic abilities. Julian gave Knightfire a little scare.

"Mr. Knightfire, as the birthday boy, I have a special request," Julian said with a wicked grin as he whispered his said "special request" to the magician.

"Uh-huh, I love it, I'm on it," Knightfire said as the middle light of the stage lit up, telling him that it's his cue.

Back to the seats, Rachel was talking to the baton twirler and the editor when a cloud of colorless smoke appeared on stage as pink lights shined. "I am Sinjin Knightfire!" the said magician announced.

The three girls saw Flute Girl, who was beside Stevens, fall on her seat as if she was about to faint. "Welcome to the magical world of magic," Sinjin greeted, "For my first trick, I'm gonna need a volunteer from the audience!" he told as Flute Girl got up from her lovestruck as she waved her hand up on the air violently.

"Hold on, is there a Ran-dee… Canning-ham? Randi- Randy Cunningham in the audience!?" Knightfire asked. The trio of girls looked at the seat where Randy and Howard were.

"I can't go up there, I have to hold the bag!" the trio heard Randy say to Howard. What's so special about that bag anyway?

"Randy, Randy!" Everyone heard Julian, who was on top of the stage, chant. Since, of course, Julian was the birthday boy, everyone chanted along as they said, "Randy, Randy!" over and over.

"Relax, I'll watch the bag," Rachel heard Howard say in a casual tone, "IF YOU ADMIT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BROUGHT THAT THING HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!" he suddenly yelled that made the trio girls and other people near the two wince at the volume of the heavy-set teen's voice.

"Never!" Randy said quickly, "Just gonna slouch it out," he said as he went down the table, but like the good friend Howard was, he told Sinjin where the secret hero teen was, "Right over here! This is him, Randy Cunningham. Here he is!" Howard yelled as he violently waved his one hand high while the other was pointing at Randy, who groaned at his friend's stubbornness.

Randy got up, walked towards the stage, and went up the said stage with the purse. Seriously, what's up with Randy today? He keeps bringing that purse everywhere. Since when did he even have a purse, and it's pink?! That is a question Rachel will never find out, or will she?

"This is the box of transference," Sinjin said as a coffin-like box rose up from the ground as colorless smoke rose up. The crowd gasped in awe and wonder. "A portal between our world and another," Knightfire explained as Randy walked beside the coffin-like box, still holding the bag, and had a look that's saying that he wanted to punch Howard in the face for putting him into this cr-

Sinjin looked at Randy as he saw the said purple-haired boy holding said bag, "You might wanna leave your purse at your seat," Knightfire said.

Randy had a dull expression on his face, "It's not a purse, and I can't," he said as Sinjin dismissively waved his hands, "Fine, suit yourself," he said as he continued to look at the audience.

"I will place him in the box," Sinjin said as he pushed Randy inside the said box. Randy tried to get out, but was greeted with Sinjin's foot kicking him back in the box, "And vanish him from our plain," he said as he closed the coffin-like box.

Sinjin, then, proceeded to spin the box and instantly stopping it after 5 spins or so, opening it to reveal that Randy was gone. After a few 'woah's from the crowd, he closed the box again and spun it, after 5, or so, spins, he opened it to reveal a dizzy Randy. The crowd gasped in awe and cheered at the cool trick.

Once Randy was back to his normal vision, his eyes widened, "It's gone! My bag!" Randy exclaimed in a panic. Sinjin was confused but he still had a crowd to amuse, "What bag?" he said quickly. Randy groaned, "Ugh, my purse."

"Ugh, I don't know, kid, ok?" Sinjin said, "Whatever happens in the box of transference, stays in the box of transference, now beat it," he quickly said as he pushed Randy out of the stage, he didn't really care about Randy's lost bag.

Rachel saw the scene and what was now an upset teen. She was about to walk near the duo, when she saw a green light up on the lights. It's supposed to be a pink light, not green, and why is the light familiar looking?

Suddenly, a lightning bolt exploded beside Sinjin's foot. "Lightning? I don't do lightning," Sinjin said as another lightning bolt hit him and forced him to get out of the stage.

"But I do!" said Julian. Rachel's spine shivered. Julian had the same glowing eyes as he did earlier at the lost and found section. "I am the greatest magician in the universe!" Julian exclaimed as, what looked like, lighting that was from his hands spread over the gargoyle-like stones, turning them to life.

Everyone screamed and panicked as some tried to leave the illusionarium, but was greeted with the soldier-like monster from the entrance.

Julian, then, opened a portal that was from the land of shadows, "A doorway from another dimension!" Julian gasped, "And I opened it! Me!" Julian celebrated as the other kids screamed.

Suddenly, Julian and, the only sane person that isn't screaming yet, Rachel heard a "Smoke bomb!"

"Julian, this isn't you!" The ninja said, "You're a regular weirdo, not a honking shoobio-path!" Randy explained.

"Really now, ninja!?" Rachel thought to herself in a deadpan as she hid under the table.

"I am a master of magic!" Julian said as he summoned three cards, "And no one can deny my power!" he exclaimed and charged two cards towards the ninja, who barely dodged it.

"Um, you missed me," Rachel heard the ninja say, but was suddenly grabbed by a live gargoyle.

Rachel gasped, "Julian! What are you doing?!" she asked the possessed, goth teen, but instantly covered her mouth. Too late, Julian heard her.

"Rachel, so nice of you to join the fun," Julian said with a creepy giggle. "Heh, why don't you join in more," he said as tentacles appeared from the land of shadows.

Rachel was about to run but was quickly grabbed by a tentacle. Luckily, the ninja saw her get captured and quickly threw a sword as it cut the tentacles. Rachel ran and went towards the birthday presents, remembering what she gave Julian as a present. She took it and tore the ribbons, revealing a mirror.

Rachel saw Howard with Randy's purse, "Hey found your purse!" she heard Howard say, "Ball's gone!" he said. "What ball?" Rachel asked herself before shaking her head, "Not now," she said as she grabbed her attention back to the goth boy, who was widening the portal.

"Welcome, evil ones!" Julian said, bowing in somewhat respect. "Ninja! Need saving again!" Randy and Rachel heard Flue Girl say. Randy threw the same sword he threw at the tentacles earlier.

"There's nothing you can do! I'm a great magician, or maybe a Sorcerer!" Julian said. "Julian, this isn't you, it's the ball!"

What ball is everyone talking about!? Rachel was so confused all day! "I'll have to remember to thank Randy Cunningham, for the best birthday present ever!" Julian said.

Rachel found that as a chance to help, "Julian! Look at yourself, this isn't you!" she said as she showed Julian's reflection from the mirror she was holding. However, Julian saw himself, but not really himself. The Julian he saw was white, not his actual color.

Randy found this as a good way to snatch the ball, "Ninja scarf slap!" he yelled as he threw his scarf and shoved the ball away from Julian. Julian stopped staring at his reflection and back to reality. Randy was about to leap, when his foot was caught by a tentacle. "So long ninja, to the land of shadows," Julian said to the stuck ninja.

"Howard the ball! Get the ball!" the ninja said, "But don't touch it." Howard was confused, "Get the ball, don't touch it, you've got a lot of rules here ninja!" he said. "The bag! Get the bag!" Randy exclaimed. "Oh, you mean the purse?" Howard asked. "Ugh, fine, yes the purse!" Randy said, having enough with getting corrected if it was a purse or a bag.

Howard looked everywhere, "Where is it?" he said in a panic. Rachel knew where it was, Howard had it with him earlier anyway. She saw him drop it on the floor earlier, so she took it and threw it at Howard. "Howard, catch!" she yelled at the obese teen. Howard looked at the clarinet girl threw the bag at him, "Thanks," Howard said as he ran.

Howard tried to climb the stage, "Hey Julian, trade ya!" Howard yelled. "Howard, no!" Randy said while Julian said, "Howard, yes!"

"Howard, what are you doing!?" Rachel whisper-yelled at Howard. "Ninja for the ball?" Howard asked. Julian snapped his fingers and Randy dropped. "Give it here!" Julian said. "Catch!" Howard said as he threw the purse up high. The tentacles tried to reach the bag, but the ninja climbed on them and slowed them down.

The ninja got the purse and instantly threw it on the land of shadows. Julian screamed in fear of losing the ball and jumped on the land of shadows. Rachel and the ninja's eyes widened.

"Ninja scarf save!" the ninja yelled as it grabbed the foot of Julian. However, the stubborn goth boy wouldn't let go of the purse. "Let go of the bag!" Randy yelled at the goth as Rachel held on to the ninja's scarf to help him pull Julian out faster.

"It's my birthday present!" Julian whined. "It's not your present!" the ninja exclaimed back.

Suddenly, Julian let go of the bag and they got to pull the boy out of the portal. The portal instantly closed after that and Rachel and the two boys, Randy and Howard, woahed in shock.

Julian got up, "Uh, what happened? Did I miss cake?" the goth asked. Rachel stifled a laugh, "Heh, there wasn't any cake, but we should get out of here before-" she was about to say when Sinjin gasped.

"My illusionarium! You can forget about your security deposit, kid!" Knightfire said to Julian. The birthday teen looked like he was embarrassed. Rachel had seen enough weirdness to see more today.

"Okay, me and Julian are going to go now, see ya Howard, ninja," she said as she helped Julian up.

"Yeah, and so I'm gonna, smoke bomb!" The ninja said as he left in a cloud of red smoke.

"Man, what got you to do that Julian!?" Rachel said in a scolding way, "You nearly went into a portal that looked dangerous!" she said.

Julian had a guilty expression in his face as Rachel tapped her foot, "Well?" she said. "Sorry," Julian said, rubbing the back of his neck. Rachel smiled sweetly at the goth boy, "Apology accepted," she said as she gave Julian a hug, who happily gave it back.

"Also, this was my birthday present for you," she said shyly. Julian 'oohed' at the mirror that had a small shatter on it. "I appreciate the present, Rachel," he said, happily taking the mirror from Rachel with a small red hue.

Then, a bus arrived at the bus stop from earlier morning. "I'll get going now, bye Julian," she said as she offered him a sweet smile before heading off.

She sat down on the back side of the seat. The birthday party was a crazy disaster, but one thing plagued Rachel's mind. That purse Randy was holding was a major deal with what happened earlier, and Howard knew what was happening so…

Did Randy and Howard know something about what just happened at the party?

Priya: Ugh! Finally finished! This is a long one, per say, 4,000 + words on this. Probably second longest shot. I hope this was good. I'm not really sure if this was major Rachel x Julian, I went with the flow in following the episode more. There may or may not be a sequel shot to this, so don't get your hopes up high. ;)

I hope you enjoyed this!
