Chapter 8
To Howard's house we go and Rachel's pet
Rachel followed him to Howard's house. Howard was just about to call Randy when he heard the doorbell ring and Heidi answered it. "Oh hi Andy. Howard's in his room." she said. "Thanks Heidi and its Randy it's always was." Randy stated and walked in. Rachel followed him into the house but couldn't help but chuckle. Howard waited for Randy to enter his room and tapped his foot. Randy walked in and saw Howard. "Hey, bro you meet Rachel right?" Howard nodded. "Yeah we met earlier...where the juice where you Cunningham?!" Howard exclaimed and Rachel looked at Howard. "We got caught by Mcfist." she said defensively.
"Yeah also I slept in, met Rachel, got caught by Mcfist like she said and barely escaped with our lives..." Randy looked at Howard. Howard looked at them. "You missed school!" He said. Rachel had put her hair back into a ponytail. "I know Howard, I just don't know what I'm going to do... everyone is going to think I skip school...I never ask for any of this..." Randy looked away and he just looked miserable.
Rachel looked at Randy. "It feels like it's my fault..." she thought to herself. Howard sat down on his bed. Randy grasped his left arm but flinched a little. "Ow...what the juice?" he said as he took off his hoodie to see what it was. He saw where the scrpodog stabbed him earlier. Rachel's backpack moved a bit and she looked at it and opened it and a small baby Tengu that was black and blue crawled out. "Hmm at lest it didn't leave a big scar or any..." Randy stopped thinking to himself and noticed something moving beside Rachel.
Randy moved to the side to see. "Oh my ninja!" Randy exclaimed. Rachel smiled at the little Tengu. "Did you have a good nap flare?" she asked it and it chirped. Howard just looked at her. "Uh..." he said and Rachel picked up her Tengu. "Randy, Howard this is my pet Tengu flare." she said petting it. Randy looked at Howard and back at Rachel. "You have a Tengu for a pet..." Randy questioned. Rachel nodded. "yep." she replied and flare sat on her shoulder. Rachel noticed the deep cut on Randy's arm and she took the ribbon that kept her hair up out of her hair and surprisingly it was 5 feet long and wrapped it around his arm.
Howard watched and grinned. "Randy has a girlfriend." he thought to himself. "Um thanks." Randy said and looked at Flare on her shoulder. "So where did...um flare come from?" Randy asked and turned to see Howard grinning. Rachel smiled. "I got flare when I got my ninja suit." she said and Howard looked at Randy. "She's a ninja too?!" he asked and Rachel nodded. "Yes... but I don't get it...wasn't there supposed to be only one ninja left?" Randy asked Rachel. Rachel shrugged. "Beats me." she said trying to push her bangs out of her face. "Hmm...Well besides that..." Randy looked at Flare. "You have a baby Tengu...that's so Bruce!" Rachel smiled.
"I know! She is so precious." she said and Howard didn't really trust the Tengu but thought it was cute. Heidi came down stairs into Howard's room but didn't see flare. "There's a really bad storm outside so mom says that sandy and..." she looked at Rachel. "Rachel." Rachel replied with a smile." right Rachel could spend the night." she said. "Ok, Thanks Heidi and it's Randy, Randy not sandy." Randy announced to Heidi. Rachel sort of chuckled a bit. Flare did too. Heidi went back upstairs. "Wow really..." Randy face palmed.
(Rachel has a pet Tengu named Flare! And Heidi still can't get Randy's name right.)
