A/N: I'm aware Howard is aware of the Stanking, but I don't know if he knows anything about the Sorcerer so that's why he's filling the audience question voids at the beginning of this chapter. I only own my OC, everyone else belongs to their respective owners. Happy Two Year Birthday, Randy Cunningham! (Just found out the first episode came out two days ago back in 2012)
Howard and Randy met after school. Howard had his eyes glued to the television screen while his thumbs were mashing video game control buttons. He looked really dazed, but he was actually well aware of his surroundings.
"So, lemme get this straight, you think cuz the Nomicon sent you a message, that one of the new girls might be working with the forces of evil?" Howard asked once Randy told him what happened while they were in school.
"Yeah," Randy answered, doing the same thing. "I'm pretty sure, it showed one of the new girls coming into the school and the Sorcerer had sent her!"
"The Sorcerer? I never met that dude, but he sounds not to be messed with."
"Trust me, he is not... Fortunately the First Ninja locked him in a prison under the school 800 years ago."
"Wait, what?" Howard looked at him. "Is that how everyone in school gets Stank'd so easily?"
"Well, yeah," Randy shrugged. "He might be rotting underground the school hallways, but he's still able to send his powers. If there's enough chaos down there and I can't stop them, he'd be able to escape."
"Wow, our school's pretty hardcore... Why can't the teachers be zombies or something?"
"You really don't get this good guy Ninja thing, do you, Howard?"
"I'm just sayin'! School would be a lot more exciting, especially for me when you run off all the time saving the student body's butt."
"Yeah, and you almost exposed me as the Ninja on your sister's school video blog!"
Howard froze and shook a little. "I said I was sorry, Cunningham! I was just put on the spot, be thankful that your secret is safe with me."
"Yeah, I guess." Randy shrugged.
"And we gotta show those new girls around... I hope one of 'em's hot... I got dibs on the hot one! You can have her new best friend, girls always say their best friends are attractive."
"None like Theresa Fowler..." Randy looked distant.
"What?" Howard looked at him.
Randy stuttered nervously suddenly. "Uh-uh... I said... Uhh... 'There are flowers...Over there...'." He randomly pointed outside the window behind the couch they were sitting on the floor from.
Howard glared at him, rolled his eyes, then focused back on the video game. "I win this round, you do my homework, you win this round...You'll do both our homework..."
"How about, I win this round and I promise not to go Ninja on your butt." Randy said, before starting the next game.
Howard puffed some air with a sinister smirk. "Can the Ninja beat me in video games?"
Randy did some special button moves to beat Howard in the fighting game they were playing. He had bodyslammed, kicked down, and cracked Howard's character's neck. Randy had won the round. Howard was shocked at what he saw and looked agape, then glared back to see Randy had a smug smirk on his face.
"Shut it..." Howard muttered.
Randy laughed a bit as Howard got up and turned off the game.
The next day at school, Howard and Randy went to class. They sat in their desks and soon some other students made it. Randy glanced back at Theresa a little shyly. She looked out the window, seeming to stare off into space. Howard came up slowly in front of Randy to block his view.
"Hey!" Randy slid back.
"You keep starin' at Resa."
"Oh, shut up... She's just a stupid twirl team girl..."
"Whatever you gotta tell yourself, Cunningham."
The bell rang and Mr. Bannister came to the class with his hands behind his back and his classroom door open. "I hope you all remembered we have two new transfer students. Everyone, meet Michelene and Stephanie."
The first girl came out. She had short ginger hair with a red hood-less jacket, a plain white shirt underneath with a necklace wrapped around her neck that had a fang attached to the bottom of it. She wore blue jeans and red and white sneakers. If one didn't know better, she could have been easily mistaken for a boy.
Doug raised his hand.
Mr. Bannister sighed. "Yes, Doug?"
"I have a question for that new student," Doug told him, then looked at the ginger. "Are you a boy or a girl?"
The new student darted her eyes at him. "I'm a girl, genius..."
"You look like a boy..."
"And you sound like a whiny granny, but with those glasses, I guess you are one!"
Everyone laughed at Doug for that remark.
"SILENCE!" Mr. Bannister commanded. "Michelene, go sit down now."
"Alright, alright, the name is MIKE!" the ginger went to sit down in front of Randy.
"Our other new student, is Stephanie. Everyone welcome Stephanie." Mr. Bannister let in the other new girl.
A young girl came in, she seemed a bit younger than the other students, but was indeed fifteen. She had short raven hair, but not as short as Michelene, Mike's. She had garland green clothes that had frills and wore darker green pants with lighter green sandals. She looked very innocent and naïve. "H-Hello everyone... It's nice to meet you all..." her voice was gentle like the wind.
'Well, she's out to be working for the Sorcerer...' Randy thought to himself, having an amused smirk. He then glanced back at the new girl, Mike. She seemed easily provoked, she had that fang necklace, and she seemed more prone to anger than Stephanie would. 'I better keep an eye on her...'
"Randy and Howard, I want you two to show the new girls around the school after this class," Mr. Bannister demanded, not asking their permission. "You'll do this up until lunch."
Howard and Randy sighed. "Yes, Mr. Bannister..."
"Right, so let's begin..." Mr. Bannister turned his back to the class and started writing on his board.
"So, Mike, I can call ya, Mike, right?" Randy got the ginger girl's attention, making her face him. "Where'd you come from?"
"I don't like to talk about it." Mike answered, simply.
"I see... How would you like to come over after school and maybe play some Grave Puncher?"
"I-I'd love to, really, but I have to ask my brother if it's okay."
"Your brother, huh? What's the matter, Mike? Don't you have parents?"
Mike's eyes furrowed at him at that question. "My parents are a touchy subject, back off!"
"Okay, okay, sorry," Randy kept his casual, suspecting smile on the ginger girl. "You don't seem to really dress like a teenage girl, do you?"
"Excuse me? I dressed like this because this is how I like to dress. I had a makeover when I turned thirteen."
"I see, I see..." Randy leaned back in his chair, pressed his fingers together.
Mike shook her head, rolling her eyes and turning back to keep her eyes forward and focused on the lesson.
'Oh, yeah, she's definitely working for the Sorcerer.' Randy thought to himself.
After class, Randy and Howard began showing the new girls around like they were told to. Mike and Stephanie listened closely and paid attention to everything the boys told them. Such as the school's history, be careful with sadness, anger, humilation and embarrassment because the Sorcerer is underneath the school and sending trouble on everyday lesson plans. But they didn't have to worry too much because the school was protected by the Ninja.
"So, does anyone know who this ninja person is?" Stephanie asked, curiously.
"Oh, no, only the Ninja knows who he is himself," Howard answered. "And his awesome, talented, much cooler than him sidekick!"
"The Ninja doesn't have a real sidekick," Randy rolled his eyes at Howard. "But, on occasion, a lucky student gets to help him on his missions..."
"He sounds kinda over rated..." Mike admitted her thoughts and opinions.
"Over rated!?" Randy stopped in his tracks. "Need I remind you that the Ninja has been protecting his school from the forces of evil, crime and villainy for over 800 years and without him, Norrisville might have suffered from non-stop chaos!? The Sorcerer eats chaos for breakfast!"
"Sor-ry..." Mike glared at him, rolling her eyes. "I just think it seems over rated... It's my opinion, I respect yours, so respect mine."
Randy huffed, crossing his arms.
The bell rang and all the students reported to the cafeteria. Stephanie was in the lunch line with Randy and Howard while Mike sat alone with her lunchbox.
"Look at that, Howard, she's eating lunch alone and eating lunch from home." Randy observed, looking with Howard.
The red-headed boy looked back at him. "Cunningham, lots of new kids sit alone and eat lunch from home on their first day."
"I'm pretty sure Mike works for..." Randy glanced to make sure Stephanie wasn't listening, but she seemed to had been distracted by some of the other students. "The Sorcerer..."
Howard glared at him, then looked at Mike. "She does seem a little angst towards you and the Ninja now that you mention it..."
"Yeah, and just look at her! She also has that fang necklace and she seems really angry a lot..."
"True... I bet she's the double agent, Stephanie looks like she wouldn't hurt a fly."
Both boys looked to see how nice and appreciative Stephanie seemed.
"YEAH!" Bash Johnson stood in front of the new girl, laughing. "Get out of my way, new freshman girl!"
"Oh, you may stand in front of me, that's perfectly fine with me." Stephanie said coolly.
"Yeah, darn right I-" Bash looked back down at her. "Y-You're allowing me to cut you in line?"
"I am the new girl, you should be able to go ahead of me, oh kind and helpful Junior student..."
"W-Well, okay. That's what I'm talkin' about!"
Bucky came and stood in front of Stephanie to cut her.
"HEY! GET OUT OF THE NEW KID'S WAY!" Bash grabbed him and threw him across the cafeteria, sending him to be flying.
"It's definitely not her." Randy said, while Howard nodded. "I invited Mike to play Grave Puncher with us after school... Maybe we can study her that way."
"She's a girl, Cunningham, working for the bad guy or not, she's not gonna wanna play video games." Howard argued.
"Just cuz she's a girl doesn't mean she wouldn't play video games."
"Name one girl who plays video games."
"Debbie Kang."
Howard blinked. "Oh, alright, she can come."
Randy laughed, then went up in the lunch line further as the line started moving.
A/N: Yay, some students are established in this chapter!
Bash Johnson- A bully 11th grader who often bullies those younger than him, kinda like a real non-AP student Junior... He's a real jerk, I hate him, not to mention his step-father's McFist (no matter how hilarious that villain seems)
Debbie Kang- I have only seen her in one of the Halloween episodes where she gets Randy and Howard to ride a scary ride with them, kinda like a Haunted House Roller Coaster type deal. She also mentions Mexican Death Bears, I can't really remember if she said she would just like one or if they're just her favorite animals and she obsesses over them like when I was younger and loved Panda Bears. I even had a Panda Bear shirt I loved wearing.
Bucky- Poor Bucky, he's picked on all the time and in horrible situations. He's best known for playing the triangle in the school marching band, even though a lot of the students throw food at them whenever they preform during a sports game. He's also Bash's punching bag.
Okay, that's enough unnecessary trivia, read & review!
