It's just like any other day in Norrisville, only this time. The teachers are having a meeting today so there weren't much to do except being in school and hang out with your friends.

Randy took this as an opportunity to learn another lesson from the Ninja Nomicon. (Name) was adding a few tweeks in her MP3 player to upgrade its transformation and maybe even add something new like, (Favorite gadget).

Howard tagged along with them but to keep him occupied, (Name) had to buy him a few snacks to do so. Howard was currently eating his snack while he watches his two best friends. His best friend has his head on the Nomicon while the other one was tampering with the MP3 player.

"Why don't you just give your MP3 player a name, (Name)?" Howard asks, stuffing himself with a handful of chips.

She sighed and turn to him, "Because, Howard, i need to think of one that'll stick to it. I have a lot of things in mind and naming this device is one of them."

"What sort of things? Hero things or... Your thing?" Howard asks again.

It's sort of lean more into her life. Back in New York, she has a cousin. Part of another family of heroes. It was nearly her birthday and since her cousin doesn't know about her disappearance, she feared she might worry so much about her. She's more like her twin than her cousin since they both have the same personality as their grandmother.

It has been over a year since they last saw each other and she truly misses her. Along with her family and old friends that are probably missing her too. But right now, she has her current friends to worry about. After knowing Randy is the Ninja, she feared he might get seriously hurt in one of their missions. With Howard knowing, she worries that he might get hurt as well.

"My thing, Howard." She answers. "I was just thinking about my cousin. Her birthday is coming up and i don't know what to do."

"Well you literally can't do anything about it, i mean, you can't just magically make a teleportation doohickey or something." Howard told her while throwing away the empty bag of chips.

Secretly, he grab a marker and slowly went to write something on Randy's face.

Something clicked in the (Hair color) girl's head and it made her hit the desk. "That's it! How can I forget—"

They both hear their other best friend wake up and turn to him. Randy seeing the marker in front of his face made him look up at Howard sternly, "You were gonna draw a moustache on my face, weren't you?"

Howard tensed and nervously replied, "What? No! I wanted to see how you look with sideburns. And the word "garbanzo" on your forehead. What were you doing in the Nomicon anyway?"

(Name) turns to them while gathering and closing up her MP3 player. Randy closes the Nomicon and put it back in his bag before replying.

"You think being the ninja and the (hero name) is all flipping and punching and kicking and using cool high-tech weapons. And it is, which is awesome. But every so often, our hero-ing takes us to a wicked gross place we call the Shnasty Zone."

"You go to 'Shnasty Zone' with him?" Howard asks (Name) rather confused and surprised at the same time.

She turns to the ginger and explained, "We were trying to track down who was behind all of the stanking the first time we came across the "Shnasty Zone"..."

The two heroes ran through the vents, tailing behind the green mist that came out of a student they just D'stanked. Something caught the Ninja's attention and he and (Hero name) went to check.

"Whaaaat?"

The janitor was humming to himself before he scraped a table with a gum underneath it and took a bite out of it. He blew a bubble and there was an insect inside.

"Shnasty!" The two heroes groaned in disgust.

"And there was a time I saw Principal Slimovitz after school." Randy reminded her.

"Oh yeah, you told me about that." (Name) laughed.

The Ninja was running after one of Mcfist's robot gorilla through the school hallways and they both came across Principal Slimovitz, wearing a cowboy hat and shoes and just a diaper.

"Yee-haw! I'm a big baby cowboy." Principal Slimovitz then started walking away after he 'shoot' the air with his finger gun.

"Aw, shnasty!" The Ninja groaned, averting his eyes.

"And you know Taco Tuesday in the cafeteria?" Randy asks.

"No. What?" Howard said.

"Never eat it again." (Name) bluntly told him, shaking her head.

The heroes and another one of Mcfist's robot gorilla were running behind the school building. They came across the cafeteria and looked inside to see the lunch lady, making the meats for the tacos out of... Interesting ingredients.

"Shnasty!" The heroes yelled, the other being the loudest.

The robot gorilla hurled and barfed its oils out into the bushes. The Ninja pat his back in support.

The three of them started laughing hysterically at the memory they had just shared with Howard. They eventually calmed down seconds later.

"Oh, thanks for nothing, guys. Now I can't eat the tacos." Howard groans before he mutters, "Nah, I'm still gonna eat the tacos."

"So I went in the Nomicon to see if there was some way to unremember that stuff. Uh, like a mind-wipe." Randy tried to explain.

"Why would you want that?" (Name) asks, placing her elbow on the desk.

Randy turns to her, confused. "Why not?"

"Because it went pretty badly in my part of the story." (Name) replied obviously.

There was one time when her friend wanted to forget something and accidentally mind wiped every single memory in his head, the machine had a leak and his memories were scattered all over (Home town). She and her other best friend had to chase his memories around the place in order to get him back.

"Well i could totally use a mind-wipe. You know that stupid Whoopee World commercial?"

"That Whoopee World commercial that you showed me weeks ago when i was brushing my teeth in the bathroom? It got you instead of me." (Name) pointed out, grinning mischievously.

"I keep getting it stuck in my head. Whenever I hear it, I can't think of anything else." Howard exclaimed, not realizing (Name) mischievous grin.

"Hmm?" Randy smirked as he and (Name) dared themselves to sing the tune.

"Don't you do it." Howard warned them, cowering back.

And Randy started singing the tune,

♪Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoopee, Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoopee♪

Howard groaned loudly in discomfort and cover his ears and run away from Randy's singing. (Name) hold her stomach trying to contain her laughter but she couldn't.

"CUNNINGHAM!" Howard shouts, feeling humiliated.

"Whaat?" He asks innocently. "It was just a joke, i promise."

(Name) wipe a tear from her corner of her eye as she finishes laughing her butt off. "Oh that never gets old." She chuckled.

Randy stares at her smiling face and just the sight of that made him fall for her for a millionth time. Her adorable smile and redden cheeks just make his inside flutter with joy. Howard is not a love detector kind of guy but he always sees Randy's pupils dilate whenever he sees her.

They both haven't spoken to Heidi about that part and they rather keep it a secret between them at the moment. For now, Randy can just adore her whenever he wants and Howard can just stand there and watches his best friend melt over his other best friend out of defeat.

"Hey, why don't we go to the cafeteria?" (Name) suggested. "It's better than hanging out just ourselves in an empty classroom."

"Sure, sure, pretty." Randy replied rather lovingly. (Name) wave her hand in front of his face and he immediately tense up.

"I mean, sure! Why not? I-it's not like you're pretty— i mean! You are! You definitely are! But, eh... OH!" Randy stammered before he dashed out of the classroom with his bag. Leaving his two best friends in the classroom.

"What was that all about?" (Name) asks Howard, who shrug in response. "I'm gonna go find Randy. You coming with?"

"I'll be with you guys in a sec. I just need to grab some lunch money from my sis." Howard told her before he leaves.

(Name) sighed and put her stuff back in her bag and put on her glasses. She actually has brilliant eye sights. The glasses are actually high-tech visors that can help her with anything that needs to see from afar. Helps a lot when she needs to take down long range attackers.

She grab her bag once her belongings are inside and left to find Randy. Who was surprisingly hard to find for some reason. As she walk through the hallway, everyone started laughing, their attention on their devices.

She looks around in confusion before she hears Principal Slimovitz yell in protest, "After school is me time!" And he ran away.

She walk towards a student and saw Howard and Heidi live in Gossip report. It was then she realize that Howard was telling his sister and everyone about the gossip they've shared in the classroom.

(Name) shake her head in amusement before walking away to find Randy.

•

"Sorry for ditching you like that." Randy apologetically said to (Name). "I got nervous for some reason."

"That's all right." (Name) smile reassuringly as they walk.

Howard came up to them just before they enter the cafeteria. "What's up?"

"Hey Howard." Randy greeted. "Sorry about earlier."

"Nah, it's cool dude." Howard reassured before he turn to the girl beside him. "Where'd you find him?"

"His locker. I could've gone there sooner if it weren't for me watching you and your sister's live." (Name) smiled.

The trio entered the cafeteria. The others that have seated are chattering while some threw out their lunch food. After they walk in, everyone turn their attentions towards them and they immediately smiled.

"Awesome gossip, Howard!" A blond girl praised.

"Double dip!" A boy cheered.

"He saved us from eating chipmunk-changas." A brunette girl said.

Randy turn to Howard in confusion, who only smiled. Randy was still uncertain, he turn to the girl who stole his heart. "What did she mean by that?"

(Name) shrugged and then they hear the same brunette girl clapping. Slowly clapping. The other students followed pursuit, some started joining to crowd around them.

Randy gaped in shock. "That's the slow clap. You're getting the slow clap!"

Howard chuckles and wrap his arms around his two best friends' shoulders. "We're getting the slow clap."

"Couldn't have done it without your gossip." Howard told them as the trio sat down and the students return to their seats.

"Couldn't have done it without your big mouth." Randy grinned.

As (Name) sits down, the two bros began to do their handshake and then Heidi came as soon as they finish.

"Howard, my paid views are through the roof." Heidi excitedly say before she place her laptop down and sit down beside Howard.

"I need more gossip," She pushes him aside, causing him to shout in protest. "and I need it in three, two..."

Howard sits back down and turn to the laptop. Randy watches them before he turn to (Name).

"You want me to grab us a couple of sodas?" He whispered.

Surprised by this, she smiled in appreciation. "Sure. Make mine (favorite soda)."

"You got it, (Nickname)." He winked before he leaves the seat to grab her and him a couple of sodas.

The (Hair color) girl felt her cheeks heat up after he send her that wink. She could've sworn she saw a heart flying by his eye when he did. She shrug it off, thinking that it was just because he thinks she's thirsty like he is. Friends do that, right?

"It's the Deep Dish with Howard "Double Dip" Weinerman. Whoo!" She says towards the camera. "So, Howard, everyone's dying to know what other juicy gossip you got."

"Let's hear it." She breathlessly say as she move the laptop towards her brother.

"Uh..." Was all Howard say. Uncertain to what to say. He turn to (Name) for guidance but she didn't have anything else in mind and shrugged her shoulders.

Randy came with their sodas and sit back down beside her. He hands her the cold refreshment and place his own in front of him.

"Don't embarrass me, Double Dip." Heidi's low tone of voice caught his attention."You must know one secret. One thing nobody else knows. One single thing someone's confided in you that you're not supposed to tell anyone."

Randy and (Name) took a sip of their sodas, their eyes glued to the siblings in front of them. Of course, Howard couldn't think of anything else because of the pressure she has placed on him.

"I KNOW WHO THE NINJA AND (HERO NAME) ARE!" He burst out.

Randy and (Name) choked on their drinks and Randy spat his soda out accidentally towards Heidi. Who paid no mind whatsoever. (Name) covered her mouth to prevent her soda from spilling out.

"You know who the ninja and (Hero name) are?" Heidi asks in disbelief.

"Yes. Yes, I do." Howard turns to the camera and smiled. "So, if you want the deep dish, you'll have to tune in tomorrow. Double Dip!"

After the live ended. Not even a few seconds later, Howard's two best friends have already dashed out of the cafeteria and towards the library.

"Why did he tell her that?!" Randy exclaim towards the (Hair color) girl who is equally as mad as he is.

"Not only to his sister. BUT  TO EVERYONE! Oh my god..." (Name) exclaim in frustration as Randy mumbles, "Need a mind-wipe" once they have arrived.

Randy pull out his Nomicon and the books opens for them. The duo was shlooped into the book a second later. They both floated down and was seated on twin chairs. Doodles and scribbles float towards them and it says,

"The way to forget... is to remember."

"Not a mind-wipe!" Randy dismissed and they were both shlooped out of the book.

The two gasps, coming back to the real world. Randy looks down and met with (Eye color) eyes that are staring back at him. The duo blink in surprise and their cheeks went red. Their moment was disturbed when they hear a familiar voice hums above them. They look up and see Howard with a marker in his hand.

Howard realized the two have woken up and put the marker down.

Randy sits up and crossed his arms on top of the Nomicon as he glare at his best friend. (Name) sits up as well, but she leans back against her seat.

"What were you gonna do this time? Write "ninja" and "(hero name)" on our foreheads?" He said dryly.

Howard let out a nervous chuckle. He toss the marker away and look at them with a sincere apologetic look. "I panicked, but I know how to fix it. I'll just string 'em along until you figure out how to fix it."

"Or I know, I could mind-wipe the entire town." Randy sarcastically tell him with a fake smile.

Howard nod his head with interest. "I like it, I like it."

"Except there is no mind-wipe!" (Name) exclaimed as Randy's face return to anger.

"I don't like it." Howard frowned on the inside, a smile still on his face.

It was finally time to go home. It has been hours and Randy and (Name) are still mad at Howard. They decided to head to Randy's house to think of a way to fix everything up. Getting everyone to forget about their curiosity of who the Ninja and (Hero name) are.

"Cunningham, (Last name), don't be so hard on yourself. This isn't your fault." Howard say to them.

Randy forced the doors open, still angry by the way. He looks down at Howard and say, "I know it's not my fault. It's your fault. It's your big mouth's fault."

"Huh. Didn't hear any complaining during the slow clap." Howard muttered.

(Name)'s anger wash into worry. "Look, Howard, if McFist saw the show, he might come after you."

"Oh, nobody's coming after me." Howard rolled his eyes.

They stop in front of a man who was holding the door open of a limousine. "Mr. Weinerman, your limousine is here."

"Listen, we gotta jet, my limo's here." Howard told Randy, referring the "we" to himself and (Name). "Call us later and tell us how you are gonna fix this."

He hops into the limo and the driver closes the door behind him before he got in the driver's seat. The duo look at each other in confusion before she reminded him, "Howard, you don't have a limo."

Howard press the button to bring down the window, he turns to his best friends, his face blank. "It occurs to me i don't have a limo."

To their surprise, the limo was grabbed by a giant claw from the sky. Randy and (Name) flinched back in shock. Before they could react their best friend was taken away in a flash. Leaving a smoke that made a familiar symbol.

"Mcfist." The two grumbled under their breaths. Their faces grimace just saying the name.

They hide behind a bus and transform into their superhero suits. The Ninja turns to (Hero name) who jumped and hit her feet together. A blast of fire came out and her shoes became rocket boots.

"Sweet." He smirked.

"Thanks. Let's go." She said before she grab his hand and fly away, following the plane that took Howard.

"Hang in there, Double Dip. We're coming for ya'." The Ninja say with determination.

"So, what's the plan?" The Ninja looks up at the female hero. "How are we going to get him out without endangering him?"

"I don't know." The Ninja answered before he look towards the horizon. "But we just have to get him out before Mcfist does anything to him in order to make him reveal our identities."

"I like that." She nod in approval. "We'll look for a ventilation and sneak in. We can't risk being caught."

"Why?" The Ninja asks her. "I thought you like beating up bad guys."

"We have a problem already. I don't want to beat up some gorillas to let out my frustration."

It was silent for a moment before she says, "Yeah I'm gonna beat 'em up."

"Cool." The Ninja smirked.

The cloud moved out of their way and she landed them on top of the Mcfist building. She looks around and find it pretty relaxing to see the view. The way the wind is blowing just like how she likes it and the clear sky too.

The Ninja pat her hand, catching her attention. "Let's go. The sooner, the better." The Ninja jumps down and slide against the wall.

"Right." She nodded, using her rocket boots to follow him. She watches him have some fun, sliding down the metal floor before he trips and stagger upon his own two feet.

"No, no! Okay, okay." He yells in panic before (Hero name) came to his rescue and use her speed to kick open the ventilation gates.

(Hero name) chuckled at him as he calm his racing heart. The Ninja look up at her with a pout. She doesn't even need to open his mask to see it.

"Not funny." He huffed as she place him down.

"Sorry." She chuckled softly before the two return to their task and run through the vent.

"This is one big vent."

"I know, right?"

Before they can even go deeper, they see dangerous obstacles in front of them go off. Spinning fire wheels, lasers, and lots more.

"Ninja stop, Ninja stop, Ninja stop!" He panics, wrapping his scarf around (Hero name)'s waist and pull her back as he stops just before he can hit the electricity.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, eee."

They look at each other before turning back to the dangerous obstacles.

"You ready?"

"Nope. I mean, yes."

They nod in determination, encouraging one another as they go through it, carefully and quickly.

They made it across safely and their
