The next day the sun dawn down on the city. Randy woke up and crawled out of bed. Flare was asleep at the foot of his bed. Rachel had been up since the break of dawn and watched the sun rise and messed with her powers. Randy got ready and then went to see where Rachel was. Rachel was playing with her powers. He walked by Flare and went outside. It was storming outside but not cause of Rachel. She had stopped playing with her powers and enjoyed the rain. Randy was Rachel and went over to her. "Morning." he said.
"Good morning." she replied. He sat down, looking at the rain. "...Sure is pouring." Randy said. "It feels wonderful." she replied. Randy agreed but only 99%. His hair quickly became drench and flatted down. Rachel giggled and gave a dry place to sit beside her. "Thanks." Randy said as he slid over and shook some of the water out of his hair. "You're welcome." She replied. Randy took a deep breath and smile. Rachel made a tiny flame on her fingertip and it made a small rainbow. "Sweet." Randy said while watching in admiration.
She giggled. She made the flame disappear. "When are we heading back?" she asked. "I really don't know." Randy replied. "We might be leaving today." she said. "Probably." Randy said and looked at her. "But you're coming back?" he asked. She nodded. "I can always come and visit here." "True." Randy replied. Howard then came outside. Rachel gave Randy a soft smile. Howard saw Randy and Rachel and was going to call out to them but decided to watch.
One of the branches bent under the weight of the rain and almost drenched them but Rachel kept it from drenching randy and it drenched her instead. She just laughed and dried herself off. Randy laughed a little and then kinda stared at her. Howard remained quiet and walked backwards. She smiled. She had put her hair into a braid so it would keep her from getting wet until it dried. Before Randy could say a word Howard called out to them letting them know that they will be leaving soon. "Okay!" Rachel called back. "Guess we should be going back." Randy said to her. Rachel smiled and nodded as she stood up.
She offered him a hand to help him up. Randy smiled as he took her hand and got up. Howard went back inside. Rachel smiled and walked inside. Most of the others were ready to go. Randy kind of looked around. Rachel smiled. "Time to head back." Nomi said. They got onto the bus and headed back to Norrisville. As they return, Randy was wondering why did the Nomicons' told them all about the "whole ninja thing".
Rachel had fallen asleep in one of the seats. Randy was still thinking while Heidi started talking about having a sleepover. They soon came to Norrisville and bus jerk to a stop at their destination. Rachel woke up and looked around a bit. They all got off the bus. All the girls kind of gather together, chatting to one another. Randy was walking with Howard and glanced at Rachel. Rachel was slightly trailing behind quietly talking with flare telepathically. Randy then smiled, not noticing that Howard stopped talking and was now looking at him.
Rachel smiled as she fiddled with her hair and twirled it around her fingers and every now and then would glance up at Randy but if he saw, she would quickly look down and blush lightly. Theresa noticed and smiled. Howard bumped Randy to draw back his attention. Randy blinked. "What?" he asked. Howard rolled his eyes at him and kept walking. Rachel was taking with flare and took her ponytail down and wore the hair band on her wrist. Randy just looked at him. While Heidi talked about having a sleepover at her place but Howard quickly got into the conversation and protested about the unfairness that she could do whatever she wanted, which wasn't too true. Rachel grinned and walked with Theresa. "You and Randy can have your own sleepover. Oh it should be at Randy's too." Heidi said.
Randy stopped. "Wait now she gets my name right?!" he thought to himself. Rachel was uncertain about the sleep over but stayed silent. Randy went up to Rachel. "Are you going to this sleepover?" he asked her. Rachel gave a small shrug. "I'm not sure..." she replied softly. "If I go I'd most likely be under a tree with a good book the whole night." she replied. Randy just nodded in reply. Rachel saw Flare happily asleep on her shoulder. "Well looks like it's just me and Randy and a whole lot of grave puncher tonight." Howard said out loud and looked back at Randy. "And again wasn't listening." Howard grumbled. "I'm listening!" Randy called back. Rachel was completely lost in thought. Howard went back to join Randy and Rachel. "So looks like Rachel's coming along too." Howard asked. "Yes, well I think so..." Randy replied. Rachel wasn't quite sure. She was never one for girl things, having grown up with an older brother.
Randy sighed and looked at Rachel. Rachel looked up from her thoughts and smiled gently. Randy returned the smile as Howard spotted an Ice cream truck. "I'll be back!" Howard said as he took off. Rachel watched him run off and smiled. "Ha that's Howard for ya." Randy said. Rachel nodded. "yeah." she replied. Randy noticed Flare was asleep and tried to keep his voice down. Rachel smiled at Flare and carefully placed her in her backpack. Howard came back with two ice cream cones in his hands and ice cream all over his mouth. Randy looked at his friend. Rachel giggled softly and rolled her eyes. Howard sighed. "Fine, you two can have them." he said holding out the cones for Randy and Rachel. Rachel smiled. "You can keep it Howard." she replied.
Without a second thought Howard happily begin to eat the ice cream. Randy smiled as well and forgetting about the whole ninja reunion thing. Rachel continued to walk along side Randy. She suddenly grew ghostly pale and cold and blacked out. "Hu- Rachel?" Randy said as he caught her before she hit the ground. Howard stared with his mouth wide open. Rachel laid unconscious in Randy's arms. "Come on, we have to get her home." Randy said as he began to run. "Whose home?!" Howard asked. "Let's go to yours Randy's." flare told him. Randy nodded. "Alright, to my place!" he called out and headed off with Howard following. Kristy and Alex followed them while Nicki told the other girls to go on to Heidi's house. When they arrived, Randy put Rachel down on the couch. Rachel was getting colder and paler by the minute. Alex was worried about her.
The sorcerer was trying to destroy her. Randy on the other hand wasn't sure why Rachel had blackout. "Any ideas on what's happening to her? Is it her evil twin doing something?" he asked Flare. Flare shook her head. "I don't know." she replied. The sorcerer contacted Rose and dark Rachel telling them to finish Rachel and the ninja off. Randy pulled out his ninja mask. "Maybe the art of healing can help." he said. "Maybe." Flare replied. Dark Rachel was perched in a tree in the yard and had Rose waited for Randy to be distracted by Dark Rachel to make her move. Dark Rachel was causing chaos to lure him out. Randy had already put on his ninja mask and quickly went up to the window to see what was all the commotion outside.
Dark Rachel smirked and stayed hidden. "Hello, Ninja." she spoke letting her voice trick him of her location. Rose on the other hand, knocked Kristy and Alex unconscious. She walked over to Rachel smirking. "I think you've caused us enough trouble." she said and Dark Rachel disappeared into the house for a moment and cast a spell on Rachel making her seem dead to the world. Rose picked her up. Dark Rachel went back over to Randy, revealing herself. "Looking for me?" she asked. "No, I'm looking for Bigfoot but it looks like you would have to do." Randy said sarcastically and pulled out his sword. Dark Rachel smirked. "I would love to stay and play but I'm on a mission. I hate to stop the fun." she said and disappeared and used a spell on him to knock him out temporally. Rose was waiting on dark Rachel. While this was happening, Howard somehow wasn't found by Rose or Dark Rachel and looked around for the others. "Where juice is everybody?" he grumbled.
Kristy moaned as she started to wake up. Alex opened his eyes slowly. Rose was getting ready to head back to Mcfist's. Dark Rachel called a robot to come get Randy. Randy groaned, slightly waking up. Howard saw Kristy and Alex. "Huh- Are you two ok?" Howard asked. "Yeah I think so..." Kristy said. "Two girls that looked like Rachel took her and Randy." Alex said. "What? Are you sure?" Howard asked worriedly. Randy glanced around. They both nodded. Randy was in a cage at Mcfist's and Rachel was in a cage next to his laying seemingly lifeless on the cold floor. Randy went closer to her cage. "Rachel?..." he called out quietly, hoping for a response. She didn't stir nor did she moan. Rose noticed that he was awake and combined their cages together. She wanted to see his reaction. Rachel laid there completely lifeless.
