Hello and Welcome back to another hilarious and action pack chapter of Randy Cunningham: Secrets behind the Nomicon. Sorry about the late update, I lost interest in the story a while back since my cable is out for the month. However, I won't stop writing this story until I'm sure its finish. Now enjoy!
Chapter 11: The date.
Theresa's house came into view as Randy came closer. His heart was pounding violently with every pace he took. The more he thought about the date, the more nervous he became. An inner battle was going within him, but he was unsure about what he should do about it. For once he actually wished a Mcfist bot, any kind at all, to burst right in front of him. But sadly that wasn't happening.
Soon enough, Randy stood at the front porch, wearing his usual casual clothes and holding a bunch of lily flowers, "Okay, Randy you can do this. Just don't think about messing it up." As he spoke confidently to himself, he clutched his fist and knocked the door twice.
"Just a minute." The response sounded like Theresa.
'Okay I can't do this!' Randy grew nervous, looking around frequently for a way out. He found hims body frozen to move, despite his mind telling him to get out, 'Move stupid legs!" He tried as much to move but couldn't. It was like his own body was against him.
He could hear footsteps coming from the other side of the door and began to panic, well his face showed it. The footsteps increased and soon the door numb twisted. It felt like hours to Randy as he began to panic. The door soon opened, revealing Theresa in her outfit.
However, when Theresa opened the door, instead of facing a panic and nervous Randy, she met a cool headed and confident Randy.
"Hey Randy." She smiled. She wore a purple shirt with green strikes and at the shoulder side and black pants.
Randy graciously represented the flowers to her, "Here you go. Shall we head to dinner date?"
"Sure." She giggled, accepting a flower and took a sniff of it.
Randy stepped aside, allowing her to walk first before he fist pump the air, "Yes!" he kept his voice at minimum, "I wonder how Howard is holding up Kim." He shrugged the thought, knowing Howard knew what to do. He caught up with Theresa and both began walking, enjoying each others company.
***********************************(LINE BREAK)****************
Meanwhile…
"Howard, for the sixth time, where is Randy?!"
Howard kept himself busy, sitting on his living room couch and flipping through channels. The sound of the door bang shut confirmed who just arrived and he certainly knew who it was. Other than him, no one was at home, except the angry Japanese girl that just came.
As he continued watching the show blankly, a familiar female figure stood before the TV, obstructing his view. Her arms were crossed and a scolding across her face as she faced Howard.
"Where's Randy?"
Howard perked up his eyebrow, "Randy who?"
"Randy Cunningham."
Howard paused, glancing at the ceiling and then back at her, "Does he have purple hair, is really tall and has a Ninja mask?"
She nodded firmly.
"Nah, haven't heard of him." Howard shrugged his shoulders.
"What?!" Out of anger, she grabbed his collar, lifting off the couch and forcing him to face her eyes, "Listen hear and listen good you big oaf! Randy is late for his Ninja lesson and unless you don't want to see your insides anytime soon I suggest you tell me where he is!"
Howard shuddered, both out of fear and disgust. He tried saying a word, something at least to get the girl to leave him. If glares could kill he'll be dead by now and right now he didn't feel like dying. But at the other side he couldn't betray his best bro. what could he do?
"Um, Randy...you could come out of my closet now." His voice shuttered as he looked to the stairs.
Kim followed his sight to the stairs and smirked, "Thanks big oaf." She let her grip off Howard, allowing him to fall to the ground on his butt, "I guess not all boys are bright." Too proud of herself, she walked up the stairs and went to Howard's room.
When she got there, she came to the presence of Howard's room. It was a bit messy with his bed disarranged, a left over pizza lying on a desk and a pile of clothes lying at the center of the room. She shuddered at the appearance and shifted her eyes to the closet.
She took fast pace, clutching her fists as she got closer, "Alright, Randy! You better get out of there now!"
However, there was no immediate response. She let out a slight growl and grabbed the handles to the closet. Then with force, she pulled it open, "Gotcha!" But as she opened it, instead of finding Randy, she found no human, other than an irritating smell, "Wait where…OW!"
She was caught off as someone shoved her forcedly into the closet. Realizing she has been tricked, she got off the floor and tried getting to the door, but it was locked shut.
"Howard!"
Said boy snickered, holding a key to the closet, "Who's the bright one now?"
*****************************************(LINE BREAK)********************
By the meantime, Randy and Theresa entered a good restaurant. It was one of the many restaurants that Mcfist owned, but it wasn't the best like the one down the street. From what Randy leant from Heidi, he shouldn't try to be too expensive and fancy looking, so he brought him and Theresa there to eat.
Inside, it was quiet nice. People were eating in different tables and booths and a game arcade was just at the right. Randy has been there before, not for the food, but more for the games, he even got a high score in few. Among the few people, he led Theresa to an open table, pulled the chair for her and pushed it back in when she sat.
From there, he went to his own seat across her and sat down, facing her, "So what do you think?"
"It's very sweet of you, Randy." She gave a warming smile. Randy felt like his heart just sank, watching her smile made him to return his.
"Excuse me, ma'am and sir. Would you like to order?"
"Yeah, we'll…Heidi!" Randy's eyes flew wide. The person, or rather the waiter, looked a lot like Heidi. Though the waiter had a black mustache and her hair pulled into a bun and hidden underneath a beanie, she looked more like a man, but Randy could tell she was using an art of disguise, considering he's used one before.
Quickly, he tried to cover up his mistake, "I mean yeah we'll have something nice."
The waiter nodded, "I might suggest asking the young lady to choose first." She gestured the pen she held and pointed to Theresa. Randy understood what she meant and nodded.
But thankfully, Theresa was oblivious to what's going on. She simply brought up her menu and began ordering. It wasn't much and soon the waiter aka Heidi got them their orders and walked away. But just as she did, Randy excused himself from Theresa and followed Heidi.
"What's the juice, Heidi?" He halted behind her, arms crossed and giving a slight stern face.
The waiter halted, back still facing Randy, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Randy face palmed, "Heidi, you're using the art of disguise Kim thought me several months ago."
"Fine." She sighed, using her normal voice and turned to Randy. Clearly, her face looked guilty as she tried to avoid eye contact, "I wanted to know about your date. I know it's wrong, but I thought you might need help."
"Heidi, I get your trying to help me out –okay that's just odd to say. Besides, I can handle myself and got the date handled. But how did you even get a job here so fast, this place is suppose to be run by robo-apes."
Heidi chuckled sheepishly, her right hand behind her head, "Let's just say one of them took a forced vacation trip to Canada."
*******************************(LINE BREAK)****************
"Open the door, Howard!" She continued banging forcedly to get Howard's attention. But, like the past hour, she was ignored.
Outside the closet, Howard was sitting on a bean bag, his hands and most of his attention on the new Grave Puncher gameboy. He paid no attention to the constant banging and would shrug it off with a smile. As much as he likes…no love keeping Kimiko locked, he was a bit concerned. But then again it could be that he needed to use the bathroom.
"No way, Yamamoto, Randy is counting on me, besides this isn't a picnic for me either." Howard managed to say as his eyes were still staring at the game screen.
"That's a lie. You're enjoying this aren't you?"
Howard cocked a grin, "Am I that predictable?"
As he continued playing his game, he noticed something odd. Not by sight, but by sound. The odd feeling made him to be concerned as he pause his game and faced the locked closet Kim was in. For the past few minutes she stopped banging and talking. While he would be relieved of the constant noise, he knew something wasn't right.
Consciously, he walked to the door and looked through the key hole. It was dark inside, but he could see a glowing ball of blue light approaching the door.
Then it dawned on him of what it was.
"Ahhh!" He cried as he leapt out of the way just before the door was literally blown off its hinges. A minor dust was made before it died down to reveal Kim, her right fist glowing fiery blue.
She looked at the other side of the room and saw Howard on the ground, about to get up. But before he could, she grabbed him by the collars and raised him off the ground, forcing him to face her angry eyes, "You lock me inside that closet for an hour! You better tell me where Randy is or I'll make you wish you were locked away like the Sorcerer!"
Howard gulped in fear.
**************************(LINE BREAK)*********************
Meanwhile, Randy and Theresa walked out of the front doors of Greg's Game Hole, laughing and talking about their time in the arcade. During their dinner date, Theresa mentioned her recent game experience, especially at Grave Puncher. Of course, it turned into a bragging contest and both couldn't confirm who was better.
At that minute, they rounded up their dinner date and went to the game store. The next few minutes was a blur as both tried to win the other. But at the end, Theresa lost and Randy won, as expected.
"You really beat me." Theresa smiled, "I thought I had you that sixth time."
"No way, I'm too good for that." Randy bragged, though not too much. Heidi had also mentioned he shouldn't brag too much about a subject unless it was for fun.
Theresa shifted her head, for once noticing a blond broom sweeper with a mustache sweeping while whistling to 'himself', "Hey, does that guy look familiar?"
Randy's face perked up, noticing who she was referring and stood before her, obstructing her view of the blond, "What? No. I'm never seen that guy before, maybe he's new. How about we go to that movie?" Before she could protest, Randy held her hand and dragged her.
While they left, the broom sweeper sighed in relief and said in her normal girl voice, "Men that was close." She halted in her words when she noticed a little kid staring at her, mouth and eyes wide open in shock. She smiled sheepishly, "Um, hi."
*************************************(LINE BREAK)**************
After a few minutes of walking, the couple finally arrived at the Norrisville Cinema. The front wasn't filled with much people and so was the inside. Normally, the place is packed with people, but not today since it was a school day.
Randy brought the tickets to a movie he recently heard about and led Theresa to where it would be playing. The movie had been out a month ago, but Randy never paid any attention to it when it was out. But Theresa mentioned it, since she has never seen the movie, asked Randy if they could watch it and he agreed.
He led her to where it would be playing and both found the place deserted. Besides the three people sitting at the back, it wasn't totally deserted. The movie was about to start, so the couple sat at the middle row, sitting next to each other.
The lighting in the room reduced as the movie began on the screen. As it started, Randy remembered from the pamphlet he took a while ago about the movie and knew it would be fun to watch. The movie was called Danny Phantom: Race Against time. The mood kicked in as Theresa lay her head on Randy's shoulder. The young purple haired teen became nervous at first but decided to enjoy it by wrapping his hand over her shoulder.
It was a nice moment for the couple, especially the movie as it got so interesting. That is until…
"Why does Bash have to be here?!"
The two couple's eyes flew wide open as they realized who the source of the voice belonged to. Randy gulped silently, though fear on his face as he looked to the entrance. To his worse fear, Bash and to make things worse, Mcfist stood there, mostly arguing at each other.
"If it weren't for you we wouldn't be here!" Mcfist yelled straight at him.
However, Bash, being the ignorant and idiot jerk he is didn't take it seriously, "I wanted to wedgie the band geek and no one will stop! So shut up old man!"
He then walked away, leaving a fuming, angry Mcfist by himself at the entrance. His face was literally boiling red hot, "Come back here! I'm not done yelling at you!"
"SHHEESSH!" The people a few seat away shushed him.
Mcfist opened his mouth to yell back, but bottled it inside. It's because of Bash he was here. His stepson, today at school, wedgies a band kid…what was his name, Mikey, Danty or was it Bucky. Either way, Mcfist only wanted the 'bonding moment' his darling wife wanted them to have.
Muttering angrily through his breathe, he took a seat next to Bash, which so happened to be above Randy and Theresa. Luckily, none of them argued and silence was brought back to the screen room.
"Hey, who's that kid?!" Apparently, silence didn't last. Bash pointed at the screen as he continued, "And what are does docky rings coming out of his waist?!"
Randy cringes his teeth, keeping his head low from Mcfist sight. Despite that the villain was trying to keep his temper down, Randy didn't want to take a chance. Over the time of being the Ninja, Randy knew to be careful of any villain he came across, whether in Ninja mode or teen mode.
Theresa slightly turned her head at Randy and noticed he was getting nervous. Of course she didn't know it was because of the rich man, Mcfist, sitting above them. It couldn't be Bash considering Randy had stood up against him some weeks ago, so it had to be something else.
"Randy, what's wrong? If Bash's annoying we could head to another seat."
Randy shook off the nervous look as he glanced at Theresa, "No. I'm not annoyed by him. I've dealt with things a lot schnasty that him."
"Really? Like what?" Theresa perked up her eyebrow in curiosity.
As she asked, it occurred to Randy what he said seconds ago and soon began to shutter his words, "Well, what I meant is um…well I don't…maybe…"
However, he was interrupted when Bash shouted, "BOOOO! Stupid ghost kid lame!"
"Bash will you be quiet! I'm trying to listen to the kid…um I mean watch that movie!" Mcfist cleverly yelled, noticing how Theresa and Randy were staring at him. He smiled sheepishly and turned his head away. Luckily for him, the couple turned away like nothing happened.
However, Randy knew Mcfist was getting suspicious and began to get nervous about it. What if he already knew he was the ninja? What could he do to prevent this? Right then he really wished he had the Ninja Nomicon, but that wouldn't happen again considering the ancient book of Ninja wisdom is actually a girl and she wasn't even there.
"Randy?" Theresa sighed, guilt look on her face, "Sorry for pressuring you like that. If you want, you can keep it to yourself until you're ready to tell me."
Her words made Randy to smile with all traces of nervousness cleared, "Thanks, Theresa." Then an idea brightened, something that would lead Mcfist away from suspecting him, "Well I can tell you anyway, it's not like anyone else is listening while the movie is on."
Mcfist snickered mischievously, nodding with excitement to confirm his suspicions.
"The truth is that…"
"Yes, yes, yes." Mcfist grin grew.
"I'm…"
"Almost there."
"the…"
"So close."
"new help for Heidi's show." Randy concluded with a proud smirk.
"WHAT?!" Instead of keeping his voice low, Mcfist shouted at the top of his voice, "That's it! That's the secret! I wasted all my time here just to hear that!"
"Shush!" Everyone in screen room, including Bash, Theresa and Randy shushed at him.
At this point, Mcfist was about to blow his top. His mouth was trying to seal the raging anger waiting to release, but clearly was losing the battle. However, before Mcfist could yell again, the usher, a blond girl dressed in usher clothes and wearing glasses tapped his shoulder.
"Sir, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave." She said politely.
Mcfist grunted, "Fine!" With that, he huffed his way to the exit, forgetting to bring Bash with him.
Randy watched the whole scene and smirked at the usher. He knew who the usher is, considering this time she wasn't wearing a mustache, "Thanks, Heidi." He muttered his voice in a low tone.
Heidi nodded with a smile and walked away, knowing the couple needed some alone time. Indeed, as she left, Randy and Theresa shifted back to the huge screen, enjoying it and mostly their time together.
*****************************(LINE BREAK)********************
But just a few blocks away, Kim had a mean look on her face as she came closer to her destination. Howard had told her everything including some private and disturbing things that weren't needed to be told. But that's the effect to Kim's deadly glare, any minor foe or in her case, Howard would surrender.
"Yamamoto, wait up!" He yelled, running from behind. The reason he even followed her was because he felt guilty for telling Kim about Randy's date. If he didn't stop her, Randy and his friendship might end, but Howard wasn't going to let that happen.
"What the juice, Howard?" She halted, getting impatient as Howard finally stood before her.
"Listen you can't just interrupt someone's date like that."
"Then he shouldn't have run off without permission. He has Ninja duties that he shouldn't neglect like that, Howard."
Howard raised his hand to her, "First off, duties*chuckles*. Second, Randy isn't neglecting his responsibilities."
But none of his words meant anything to Kim. In fact it hardly convinced. Her only response was a scoff to his face before walking off and heading her way to get Randy.
Howard scowled, partly because she walked away while he was still talking. Even if they didn't see the same level of things, he would have thought she would listen to him about something serious. It then occurred to him why. She didn't respect him.
Angered by the realization, he put up a scowled look and kept his voice high so the departing Kim would hear, "Oh sure, just walk away like that. I may not be a Ninja, but you're forgetting I was one once."
Kim halted, though her back faced him as she listened further.
"When Randy lost his memory guess who took his place, me of course and it was the Cheese! But I almost discovered something." From there he kept his voice low, though his edible to hear, "I knew about the responsibilities Randy had to carry and I took it because I wanted to. Do you even think about the dangers you put those previous Ninjas?"
In response, Kim sighed deeply, keeping her head low in shame. As much as she hated to admit it, Howard was right.
Howard smirked, noticing the silence coming from Kim, "Yep, I can be amazing too."
Kim turned back to him, face still down to the ground. She then raised her head to answer when a loud crash and explosion was heard. Immediately, all tension was gone as both Howard and Kim turned to the source of the noise. From down the street, people were running and screaming in panic. But what could it be?
The two stood focus, even when the crowd was threatening to push them down. When the crowd was gone, they felt large footsteps and turned to where it seems as the source. To their shock, a twenty foot mouse with large saber tooth teeth, sharp claws and yellow glowing eyes came to view.
"What the juice made that?" Howard asked.
"The Sorcerer." Kim answered with a stern voice.
The giant mouse sniffed the air, trying to get the scent it wanted. It soon caught the scent as it got closer to Kim and Howard's position and growled like a beast to the air when it caught it scent. Unfortunately, the scent was on them.
"Kim?" Howard sounded scared.
"Yeah."
"RRRRUUUUUNNNNN!" He cried out and began running away.
As he ran off, Minion caught the voice and chased after him, leaving Kim to herself. Already she could hear him scream louder as he knew Minion was chasing him.
"Great, now I have to save a cry baby." Kim groaned before running off the same direction.
This was going to be a long day.
**************************(LINE BREAK)*******************
Yep, it ends there for now. Special thanks to Sarispy56 for giving me a name for Sorcerer's mouse, I was really getting tired of calling him mouse, so Thanks Sarispy56.
Anyway, originally I wanted to make this chapter a lot longer but that would have happen in the next chapter. Again, I apologize for updating late, but I'll try to update sooner next time. That won't be easy because I have home tutoring and an exam approaching, but I'll try to add more scenes as little as I can so I can update.
Also, just note that this story won't happen to go with Austin and Ally. I know the last chapter was related like it, that was because I thought it was one of the nicest and yet funny episodes. I'm still not a fan of any Randy Cunningham pairing, but I'm willing to make it fair to both readers shipping this.
Oh and I'm looking for someone that can draw a pic for this story. It has to describe Kim, both in her Ninja costume (which will be revealed in future chapters) and her modern clothes. If you know you can do that and send me the pic, I'll be very glad. For more details if you're up for it, please PM me.
So that's ends for now, please send your comments and I'll see you next time.
