Sleepover at Howard's
"Well, looks like it's time to go home." Randy said to Rachel. Rachel nodded but sighed. "Um I don't really have a place to stay..." she said. "Oh...right...you could stay at my place, I'm sure my parents won't mind." Randy stated. Rachel smiled and hugged him. "Thanks randy!" she said. Randy looked at Rachel and was a little startled but then smiled. "You're welcome." he said and hugged her back.
Rachel smiled and they headed to Randy's house. A short time later they arrived at his house and Randy knocked at the door and waited. Rachel waited beside him. "Your parents weren't here earlier were they?" she asked. Randy tried to twist the door knob but it was lock." Yeah but it looks like they came back and lock the door." He replied and bent down and looked under the doormat and found a note. "What does it say?" Rachel asked.
"Randy, we went out on a little business trip outside of Norrisville. We have talked with Mr. & Mrs. Wienerman and they agreed to let you stay over for the weekend, we will be back on Monday. Love mom & dad ~ Randy finished reading the note and look at Rachel. "So...to Howard's house!" Rachel said walking off. Randy put the note in his pocket and walked after Rachel.
They got to Howard's house and knock and Howard answered it." oh hey Randy. Hi Rachel." he said and let them in. "Hey Howard...so did you know about this?" Randy asked handed him the note. Howard looked at the note and shook his head. "No clue." he replied. Rachel sat on the couch. Randy took back the note and put it away. "Oh well I guess we're staying here for the weekend." Randy said to Howard. Howard smiled." alright, grave puncher?" he asked. Randy grinned. "Yep grave puncher!" he replied.
Rachel grinned. "You guys are going down!" she said. Randy looked at Rachel. "Well this time we're ready." Randy said Rachel smiled and grabbed a controller. Randy looked at Howard. "You wanna to go first?" he asked Howard with a smile on his face. "Alright." he said and once again Rachel beat him. "Your turn Randy." Rachel said. . "Ok." Randy answered and grabbed the controller and started to play. Rachel beat him. "Told you so." she said smiling. Randy scratched his head. "Aww how did you...*sigh* you got skills." Randy commented.
Rachel smiled. "Thanks." she replied and Howard went to get some snacks and Rachel suddenly spoke. "My dad was really good at video games he taught me everything I know..." she said. "Oh... well you had a good teacher." Randy said turned his head to look at Rachel. Rachel smiled and nodded. "I wish you could have met him." she said. She was comfortable with talking about her parents with Randy.
*Time Skip to Monday* Rachel woke up and Flare was sleeping on Randy's feet. Randy woke up and felt something on his feet and he lifted up his head to see Flare sleeping on his feet and slumped his head back down. Rachel went and made breakfast. Flare woke up and flew to Rachel. Rachel had made breakfast for Randy and Howard too. Randy woke up again and smelled something in the air, something good.
He stretched and got up and looked around the room. Rachel smiled and saw Randy come upstairs with Howard right behind him. "Good morning. I made breakfast." Rachel said and sat the food down on table. "Wow thanks Rachel." Randy said and walked up to the table. Howard nodded. "Thanks." he said Rachel smiled. "Welcome." she replied and they ate and headed to school.
