Gathering of the Norrisu nine
The next day, they got ready early and headed off to school. Rachel, instead of having her hair in a ponytail she had it in a braid laying upon her shoulder. They walked inside the school. "Do you think we should tell YOU know who, now or after school?" Randy whispered to Rachel. "After." she replied. Randy smiled. "Good. Now we just to wait." he said looking around. Theresa entered the school. Rachel noticed and waved at her and she waved back.
Howard then walked up to Randy and Rachel. "There you two are, I barely see you guys anymore." Howard said to them both but mainly to Randy. "Um yeah sorry about that bro." Randy replied. "But believe me you will see us a lot more." she said. Howard raised an eyebrow. "Really?" he asked. Randy nodded. Rachel nodded. "yeah." she replied. Howard looked at them then a small smile appeared on face. "What?" Randy asked. "Nothing, nothing at all." Howard replied as he walked to class. Rachel shrugged. She headed to class too.
Randy followed her. After school ended they met up with Howard again and Rachel had gotten a list of all the new ninjas. Randy peek at the list she had. Howard looked at them. "What are you two doing?" Howard asked. "Ninja hunting." she replied in a whisper. "...Ninja hunting?" he repeated. "Yes and we just found one, that's you." Randy said quietly with a grin. Howard's jaw dropped. Rachel grinned. "Here see if you can help us find them." she said. Howard looked at the list. "My sister?!" he exclaimed. Randy shushed him. "It wasn't our choice! Nomi and Nicki said so!" she replied. "That's wonk." Howard said giving back the list to her. "Hey it could of been-." Howard slightly glared at Randy.
Rachel shrugged. "Anyway, anyone know who this...Alex?" Randy asked. "I don't know." Howard replied. Rachel slowly looked up. "More than likely he is my brother." she replied. Randy look at her." You have a brother?" he asked. Rachel nodded. "Yes. I thought he had died though." she replied. Howard noticed his sister walking by. "There's Heidi." he said. Randy looked. "Should we tell her?" she asked. "Maybe when we find the others, first." Randy said. Theresa walked by them. "Found one!" she said. Randy and Howard look and wave at her to come over. Theresa saw and came over. "hey guys." she said. "Hi Theresa. We have something to tell you." Randy said to her. "What is it?" she asked. "You're a ninja." Rachel replied quietly.
"Really?! Awesome!" she replied but not as loudly as Howard. "Yeah and there are more around here." Howard said. Randy happily nodded. "I'll help you look." she said and looked at the list and texted Debby to meet them in front of the school. Rachel saw caramel was on the list. "We can go get caramel in a bit." Debby then came by. "Got your text. What's up?" she asked Theresa. "You're a ninja." she replied. Debby looked at them. "For real?" she asked. "Uh Huh." Randy replied. "Caramel, Kristy, Heidi, and Alex are the only ones left." she replied. "Let's find Heidi." Randy suggested to the group.
Theresa and Rachel agreed. The others did too and they went to find her. Rachel peeked into Heidi's little interview room. Heidi was there, packing up some equipment that she would need before she'd head home. "Heidi?" Rachel asked stepping inside. "Yes." Heidi said turning around. "Oh hey Rachel, What can I do for you?" she asked. "We need to talk. It's really important." she said. "Oh something important. Sure what is it?" Heidi asked curious in what she had to say. "You must promise not to tell anyone." she said. "Hmm that's going to be tough... But fine, I promise." Heidi replied. "You are a ninja." she replied.
"...Seriously?" She asked Rachel. Rachel nodded. "OM-wowzers! So what makes you say that I'm a ninja?" Heidi asked. Howard peeked inside the room. "It's a long story." she replied. Heidi nodded. Howard quickly stepped back into the hallway. "So, you going to come or not?" she asked. "Well of course I'm going. I want to see what this is all about." Heidi replied. Rachel nodded and led the way. Heidi followed her while Howard was back with the rest. She brought Heidi to the others. "I think that's everybody here." Randy said. "We need Caramel, Kristy and Alex." Rachel said.
"Caramel?" Howard asked looking around but was thinking of the candy. They finally arrived. Randy stretched. "Hello New York!" he said. Rachel gave him a smile. "I went ahead and contacted Kristy to meet us at the dinner." she said. "Great, let's go." he replied smiling. They entered the dinner and went inside. Kristy was there and greeted them along with a man probably in collage, with scruffy brown hair, and sapphire blue eyes like Rachel's. Rachel gasped and ran over and they embraced each other for a while. The others watched and some smiled at the reunion. Nomi appeared with Nicki causing Alex to tense up a bit. Rachel took his hand and gave him a smile.
She knew he didn't know it was her who killed their parents and was sure he hated her ninja for doing it. She wasn't sure if he would cope with the fact it was her. Alex relaxed a bit. Nomi signaled them to sit down. Rachel sat in her brother's lap. Theresa, Kristy, and Caramel took a seat as well. So did the others. Heidi was still smiling. "Alright, I'm sure you're all wondering what you're here for. You're all ninjas." Nomi said.
"That's what we have heard." Howard said. "I take Randy and Rachel told you?" he asked and Theresa nodded. "Mmhmm." Debby replied. Nomi smiled. "That makes my job a bit easier." he said and turned to Nicki. "Me and Nomi will work on getting your ninja suits." she said. "You mean we get our own ninja suits?" Howard asked excitedly. Nicki smiled and nodded. "That's Bruce!" He said and gave Randy a high five. Rachel smiled softly at everyone's excitement. Heidi was thinking of a good question to ask for Nomi and Nicki.
