Chapter 14
Not the only thing broken
Rachel looked at her now broken locket and picked it up off the floor and stared at it the picture was sliced in two. A tear went down her cheek and looked up at Randy and growled. She returned to normal but her eyes were still red. "You...you broke...my locket..." she said getting furious. She held it tight and turned and ran off again. Howard watched. "What the juice happened?" he asked. Randy still in the ninja suit looked at Howard. "Bash was teasing Rachel and she got stank'd..." He said and felt terrible for slicing Rachel's locket.
Howard looked at him. "I don't think it was the locket she held most dear." Flare said landing on Randy's shoulder. Randy looked at Flare. "What?...gotta go smoke bomb!" He shouted and vanished in a puff of smoke with Flare. Rachel wasn't that far from the school sitting in the rain cause well it started to rain. Her dress was a little muddy and she was crying and held her locket close. "There!" Flare said pointing Rachel out.
Randy looked and ran up to Rachel with Flare still on his shoulder. "...Rachel..." Randy said. Rachel didn't reply and turned away from him. "Leave me alone..." she said not wanting to talk. "Rachel, Please." Flare said and Rachel sighed and turned around. "What?" she asked still upset. "I'm really sorry about slicing your locket Rachel...You were stank'd and..." Randy stopped and looked at Flare. "Wait a minute what did you say earlier?" He asked Flare. "It wasn't her locket she held most dear. Now her locket isn't the only thing broken." Flare said but only Randy could hear her. Rachel sighed and sat down on a bench.
Randy looked at Rachel. "You mean...ooh." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck. Rachel just sat there in the rain. Flare nodded. "Why do you think she said yes to you taking her to the prom?" she asked and Rachel sighed. Randy looked at Flare. "Question can you hear me?" He thought to himself. Flare nodded. "Yes." she replied. "Wonk is nothing sacred?...Um no offense." He thought to himself now knowing that Flare could hear him and slowly walk up to Rachel. Flare looked at him. "None taken." she replied and Rachel looked at him.
"What?" she asked. "Listen I don't know if you could forgive me for slicing your locket but...*sigh* I'm sorry for hurting you in any kinda way..." He said and looked away. Rachel looked at him and slightly smiled and hugged him. "I forgive you Randy. I know you were trying to save Me." she said blushing a bit. Flare smirked. "By the way Randy, the thing that you really broke was her heart but that can easily fixed with a dance." she said but only Randy heard her. Randy smiled. "I knew that..." He thought and looked at Rachel.
"So you wanna go back to the dance?" he asked. Rachel smiled. "Sure." she said and looked at her dress. It was soaked and a bit muddy. "Umm..." she said. Randy looked at her dress. "Oh maybe we should go in and you could umm freshen up? Randy said. "Or I could do this." she said and went into ninja rage and her dress dried off and she dusted the mud off. "That's better." she said smiling. Randy looked at her. "...or that could work..." he looked away and shook his head. "Is something wrong?" Rachel asked tilting her head.
Randy looked back at Rachel. "Hmm nothing just ...I don't really understand how you can go into ninja rage with no suit on." "One thing my dress is made out of Tengu feathers and flare gives me that ability." She said smiling. "Want to go back to the dance?" She asked. "Sure but I better take off my Ninja suit." Randy replied. "Okay I'll wait here." She said and sat on the bench. "Ok smoke bomb!" Randy called out and vanished in a puff of smoke and in a second came out of some white rose bushes.
"Ow...ok shall we go?" Randy said as he walked up to Rachel and plucked a rose that got stuck in his hair and offered it to her. Rachel giggled and took the rose and got the thorns off and put it in her hair. She smiled. "Thanks." she said blushing a bit and she walked inside.
(Aw! At least Randy's making it up to her. R&R! ~Rachel)
