Chapter 24
The favor
Flare flew into the dinner and sat down beside Rachel and focused. Rachel was now in Flare but she said something in ancient ninja langue that turned Flare human for now. She had Black hair with a navy blue streak though it and red eyes. Rachel slid the mask on. It was almost the exact same but she had Tengu wings and flew back to where Randy and Cody were. Randy looked. "Ok... I did not see that coming." Randy said. Rachel smiled but they couldn't tell. "Alright need a guide through the building?" she asked. "...Yes..." Randy said and backed away a little. "Is something wrong?" she asked before she walked in. "Um, No." Randy said. Rachel looked at him for second and walked inside with Cody right behind her.
Randy followed them and gave a glance around. They walked into a dark room and Rachel couldn't see anything so she looked around for the light switch and as Randy and Cody walked in a cage door slammed shut. Viceroy turned the lights on. Randy turned to see the cage door behind them and face palmed. Rachel growled. Cody looked around. "Great..." Rachel said. Randy pulled out his sword and ran it along the door. The door was barley damaged. "That won't work. "Viceroy said. "Ok...what will work?" Randy asked knowing that Viceroy probably won't tell. "Why would I tell you? But Why are you here?" he asked. "We're here for an antidote... for a girl name Rachel." Randy replied. Viceroy looked at him. "Rachel?" he asked and Cody nodded. "Yeah." he replied.
Viceroy walked up to the cage with a bottle in his hand. "I'm pretty sure this will work." he said. Randy put back his sword and looked at Viceroy."...Could we please have it?" Randy asked Viceroy. Viceroy surprisingly nodded and handed it to him. "I suggest you get it to her quick or she'll remain asleep permanently." he said and opened the cage. Rachel and Cody looked at each other. Randy was shocked, he looked at the bottle then back at Viceroy. "Wh-what's it, how did you even know...thanks." Randy said knowing it's better to ask questions another time and walked out of the room. They went to the dinner. "Ok that was weird but we have it." Randy said and gave it to Rachel. Rachel woke up and flare took the suit off and handed it to her. She was still human but she changed back. Randy smiled under his mask and thanked Cody for the help and Flare then smoke bombed out of their sight.
Randy was now hiding in the bathroom. Rachel rubbed her eyes a bit and looked around. Randy walked out of the bathroom and walked into the room where Cody, Flare and Rachel are in. Rachel looked at Randy and smiled and started to stand up but her legs were asleep. "Hey, you're awake." Randy said with a smile. "Yea. I'm awake." she said. Randy looked at Cody. "Thanks ..." Randy said as referring to what happen to him earlier. "You're welcome." Cody said with a slight smile. Randy smiled and looked around. Rachel smiled. "What now?" she asked. "I don't know about you guys but I'm not up for anymore site seeing." Randy said with enthusiasm. Rachel smiled. "Well we are heading back to Norrisville tomorrow." she said. "Oh right...forgot about that." Randy replied. Rachel smiled at him. Randy looked back at Cody. "Um anyone hungry, we're in a dinner after all." Randy asked. Rachel nodded and so they all ate. "Bruce dinner you have here Kristy." Randy commented.
Kristy smiled. "Thanks." she replied. Randy smiled back then looked at the window to see that it was still raining. Rachel saw the rain too. "At least it's not storming." she said. "Yeah...so what time is it?" Randy asked. "7:19 p.m." Rachel replied. "Thanks...hmm do we have to go back?" Randy asked. Rachel shrugged. "Hey what about you Howard, anything you want to do before we leave the Big Apple tomorrow?" Randy asked Howard. "Eat a taco that's not from the cafeteria." he replied and Kristy handed him a taco. Randy just stared at Howard. Howard ate it. "Nope ours are still better." he said. Randy looked at him in disgust. "Er... no ours are shnasty." Randy replied. "Says you." Howard replied. Rachel just started laughing. Randy snickered as he rolled his eyes at Howard. "So ready to go tomorrow?" she asked.
Randy looked at Rachel. "Ready as I'll ever be." Randy said and turned his head away to yawn. Rachel smiled and stood up. "The hotel is just across from here but I'm staying here tonight." She said. "Ok that's cool." Randy said and stood up as well. Howard stood up and said goodbye and headed to the hotel. Rachel smiled at randy. "I'll see you tomorrow." She said. Randy smiled back. "Yeah see ya tomorrow." Randy replied and said goodbye to them and headed to the hotel. Rachel went to Kristy's bedroom and Kristy looked at her. "Why are you going back?" She asked and Rachel smiled. "Cause of randy..." She replied. Randy was now opening the room door in the Hotel. Kristy smiled. "You like him don't you? But you're a ninja you can't-" Kristy said and Rachel cut her off. "Yes I know but he knows I'm a ninja." she replied. Randy looked around and walked up to the window and looked outside. Rachel fell asleep as did Kristy. Howard did too. Randy turned and jumped on the bed and fell asleep.
Rachel woke up the next morning and got out of bed and Kristy made breakfast. Randy woke and slipped out of bed and went to see if Howard was up yet. Howard was up and eating breakfast. Randy went and joined him. Rachel finished breakfast and said goodbye to Kristy. She walked out of the dinner and ran into Cody. "Rachel, you still owe me a favor." he said. Rachel looked at him. "What is it?" she asked. "Stay. Stay here with us."
(hmm...Old boyfriend and best friend or new friends and being the blue ninja...)
