Chapter 4

Keeping Up to Date

"Up to date? But I do know what date it is today." Daniel said defensively.

"No, not the date! I mean with the in-thing nowadays." Randy said.

"In-thing?" Daniel said with a confuse look.

"Wow, how long have you've been living in the mountains?" Randy asked with a concerned face.

Daniel just stood there trying to count all his years of training, and finally answered "Since I was born into this world." Daniel said with a cheerful attitude.

"Okay…" Randy said with an awkward tone.

"Shall we begin your training Ninja?" Daniel asked in an obviously oblivious tone to Randy's awkwardness.

"Yeah training, yeah how about we train your art of 'fitting in first'?" Randy asked in a sarcastic tone.

"You mean like the art of stealth?" Daniel asked in a blurred tone.

"Yeah something like that." Randy answered.

"But samurai does not use stealth, he attacks with everything he has!" Daniel says confidently.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah die with honour and everything right? I've seen the movies. It's just that the way you dress will probably attract unwanted attention." Randy trying to explain to Daniel the modern culture.

"But…" Daniel said before being interrupted by Randy.

"Just trust me on this Daniel!" Randy said as he pushes the new student away from the scene.

"So where are we going now, Randy?" Daniel asked in a cheerful manner.

"Well first, I'm going to visit Howard, then we can go back to our respective homes."

"Ohhhh." Daniel said in understanding.

At the Wienerman residence.

Randy knocks the door.

"Why, Randy always a pleasure to see you." said.

"Hi ." Randy said in his usual demeanor in the Wienerman's residence.

"And who is this? A new friend?" Mrs Wienerman addressed Daniel.

"Hello mother of Howard, I am Daniel." Daniel introduced himself as he bowed.

"My, what a charming fellow." said, impressed by Daniel's formalities.

As they entered the house, Howard's sister, Heidi passed them by.

"Wait, aren't you the new student?" Heidi asked Daniel.

"Yes, and you are?" Daniel asked.

"I'm Heidi, Howard's sister. You are a friend of my shoob for a brother and Andy?" Heidi asked.

"Shoob?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah, well he won't understand the meeting and my name is still Randy, and will always be Randy, known you my whole life?" Randy said to Heidi.

"Whatever Mandy" Heidi said whilst rolling her eyes.

"You are very beautiful." Daniel plainly said to Heidi out of the blue.

"Wait, what?" Heidi asked, with a tint of pink beginning to show on her face.

"I said you are very beautiful." Daniel said with a cheerful attitude.

"Ummm, thanks?" Heidi asked, still a bit embarrassed with Daniel's sudden compliment. She then walks away from the pair awkwardly.

"What the juice was that Daniel?" Randy asked raising his voice at Daniel.

"Did I do something wrong?" Daniel asked with a blurred expression.

"Well you don't just out of the blue compliment a girl for no reason." Randy explained to Daniel.

"But I simply just followed the book I have read about making friends." Daniel said plainly.

"What's the title of the book?" Randy asked.

"Ummm how to get a girl-friend? I assumed it was ways on how to make friends with girls." Daniel said still looking blur.

"You know for a master, you're pretty wonk in the noggin." Randy exclaimed with a sigh.

"Wonk?" Daniel asked, still blur.

"Nevermind." Randy said rolling his eyes.

As they entered Howard's room, Randy was welcomed with a familiar scene of Howard just playing Grave Punchers 4 on his game station.

"Hey Howard." Randy said.

"Hey Cunningham." Howard greeted only to be surprised by an unfamiliar face.

"Hello Howard, or am I supposed to call you shoob, as your beautiful sister pointed out?" Daniel asked.

"Okay, first things first, I'm not going to ask why he's here and did he just called my sister beautiful?" Howard asked.

"Yes, yes he did." Nodded Randy.

Howard shivered in disgust thinking someone found his sister attractive besides Randy that is (Or several other guys as a matter of fact).

"So about the reason why he's here, I just thought you should know that he's actually my master for the next stage of my training as the ninja." Randy explained.

"Really? This shoob right here is your master to the next stage for your Ninja training?" Howard said unimpressed.

As Howard was trying to understand Randy situation, Daniel was very much fascinated by the Mcflatelevision (Not sure what they call it in rc9gn universe). Howard just gave the 'are you serious' look at Randy. Randy just shrugged his shoulders.
