'Till I see you again
Theresa walked into the café and over to a hood girl sitting by herself. "Hey. Sorry about that." she said to her. The girl just nodded. Theresa signaled Randy to come over to them. Randy walked up to them and glanced at the girl in the hood. She was very quiet.
Theresa nudged the girl softly trying to get her to at least say hello but she just waved slightly. Theresa sighed. "Maybe she'll speak up if you take you hood down and she figures out who you are. But we should probably go somewhere else to do that." she said to randy and turned to another empty room of the cafe.
They went into the room. Randy then put his hood down. The girl almost fell backward. "...R-Randy?" she stammered quietly. She slowly took her hood off. She long brown hair with sapphire blue eyes. It was Rachel. Her hair was down instead of in a ponytail. Randy blinked. "Rachel." he said in a bit of surprise.
She hugged him. "You're alive..." she mumbled softly. Theresa smiled softly and watched. He hugged her back. "Yes, I Am." he replied with a smile. Rachel looked at him. "What happened? Where were you?" she asked. "Well...I chased a scrpodog into the forest and then got crystallized by Rose. And that's when Theresa found Me." he replied, slightly embarrassed by being trap so easily.
Rachel looked down. "I should have been there to help..." she replied quietly. Randy looked at her. "...It's ok. I should have at least let you know where I was going." he said. She just kind of nodded. She felt as if it were her fault because if she had been there none of this probably would have happened. Theresa looked at them. "Um, hate to break up the reunion but we should probably get going. You two can catch up more later." she said. "Where are you two going?" he asked.
"Probably to your place. Rachel tends to try and stay there as much as she can." Theresa replied and Rachel just sort of nodded. "We should get going before the storm gets too terribly bad." Rachel said. "Ok..." he said and followed them. They headed back to Randy's house and went inside out from under the rain. Rachel turned to Randy. "Where's Nomi?" she asked. Theresa looked at her. "Who's Nomi?" she asked. Randy felt his pockets and then pulled out the book. "This is Nomi AKA the ninja Nomicon." he replied.
Theresa examined the ancient book. Even though she had never seen it before she could tell something was off. Rachel noticed it wasn't glowing as usual. "Is he alright?" she asked. Randy looked at the Nomicon. "I...don't know." he replied. Rachel looked at the book worriedly. "Hopefully he's just asleep." she replied. Theresa looked at them. "You're speaking as if it were a human." she said.
Randy looked at Theresa. "Well funny thing is...it is a human." he said as he open the book. It pulled him, Rachel and surprisingly Theresa inside. They landed on the ground a little roughly. Theresa got up and looked around. Rachel looked for Nomi. "Hello Nomi. Where are you?!" he called out. Nomi was 'meditating' near the waterfall in a deep slumber. Randy spotted Nomi and quickly came over to him. "Hey Nomi?" he said while shaking him slightly.
Nomi slightly woke up. "Hm?" he mumbled. "Come on, you need to wake up." Randy said to him. Nomi rubbed his tired eyes and looked up. "What happened?" he asked. "We got crystallized...for a couple of years." Randy replied. Nomi nodded slightly and noticed Theresa and smiled lightly. "Hello Theresa." he spoke and Theresa stared at him. "How did you know my name?" she asked.
Nomi just smiled. "I'll explain later." he replied. Randy helped him up. "So now what do we do?" Randy asked. Nomi spoke up. "First things first. You must gather the other six of the Norrisu nine."
