//Info: I do not speak Spanish. So, i apologize for any mistranslation.

It's Thursday and unfortunately, (Hero name) was not around to help the Ninja out. Well, she doesn't have to anyway, since he's in "The Zone". The girl of his dreams couldn't help him out since monday because her MP3 player needed upgrades.

(Lies)

"It is my duty as the Ninja to warn you that i am currently in the zone, and have been for about a week." The Ninja yell out to the robotic slithering monster he's facing.

It screeches in response but the Ninja took that as a reply.

"Why isn't (Hero name) here? Well, she's... Uh, taking a vacay because i told her to. She's so hardworking." The Ninja spoke but this was coming from Randy and not his hero alter ego.

It screeches again.

"Oh, you don't believe me? Let me tell you about Monday." The Ninja smugly tell him, leaning against the school's flag.

"Ninja flashback."

Monday

"Hiyah! Ninja eye-dios!" The Ninja exclaimed, knocking out the green eyeball of the robot monster.

Unfortunately, the eyeball landed in a girl's plate of lunch and she shriek with fright after watching it move.

"Ninja double kick!" The Ninja kicks the robot's chest with both of his feet and landed beside his two best friends by it as it falls. Every student run to evacuate the scene.

"Yey!" Howard cheered as the robot fall and break down on the ground. "That was awesome!"

"Uh-huh." The Ninja proudly hummed.

"A 10 out of 10. A clean beat down!" (Name) cheered also, giving the Ninja a high five and he raise his hand also for it.

"Ninja, you are in the zone." Howard says to his best friend.

"The zone?"

Ninja time chop, Tuesday.

He pull out his sword from his suit and slice the robot frog's system open. It malfunctions and slide down the wall. "It's slice knowing ya."

The Ninja jumps down from the wall and land on the broken Frog robot. "Well, what do you know, I am in the zone."

Time chop, Wednesday.

It was lunch time, and both Randy and (Name) are sitting together in the cafeteria while enjoying their lunches.

"So, when are you gonna go back to being (Hero name) again?" He asks her quietly, looking up from his sandwich.

"You can handle for another... Two to three days, right? I'm still fixing up the bugs." (Name) replied quietly, eating her pasta.

"Sure. No problem at all." Randy smiled. "Take all the time you need, m'lady."

(Name) put her fork down and look at him in amusement. "You did not just call me what i think you called me."

"Oh, i just did." He replied smugly, after swallowing the sandwich in his mouth.

Randy time kick, Thursday.

"Yah!" The Ninja grunts as he land on the floor in front of his opponents. "All right, you two... three spider things? Are you guys spider things?"

The spider robot at the front growls at him in response. Their red eyes focus on their target.

"Let me introduce you to the ba-boom zone!" The Ninja exclaims proudly, throwing his Ninja stars at them and knocking them down.

Back to present time.

The robot bat-snake thing growls, the two of them standing on the roof casually.

"Wednesday? Yeah, nothing really happened Wednesday." The Ninja replied, leaning against the school's flag. "Though, my girl-friend did say that she's coming back real soon, she just don't know when. Point is, me, zone! You don't want to do this."

Without a care of his words, the robot monster decided to attack anyway. "I guess we're doing this." The Ninja spoke, dodging the robot's attempt to grab him with its razor sharp teeth.

The Ninja lands on the ground and the robot monster slither past him. "Ninja tail stab!" He exclaimed, stabbing the robot monster's tail with his sai. The monster tried to escape which only resulted into it getting its head torn off of its body.

"Thank you, thank you." The man in black and red leap into the air and land on the robot's head. "Told ya! Zone. Yah!"

The Ninja punches the robot's eyes which are clearly cameras and pull his fist away. "Well, that was Bruce. I wonder what (Name) would say if she was around to see that." He mutter to himself in curiosity before he leap into a safer area and take off his mask.

Randy places his mask in his bag and put it around his shoulder. He smirks to himself with pride and went into the school hallway.

"Mm-hmm, okay. All right." Randy struts through the hallway, passing through his classmates. "Feeling good, zone in."

"What up, green hat?"

"Mm-hmm. Okay, two, three girls!"

All that was cut short after he bumped into Bash and his other two friends.

"Guess who's getting his Way-bot. Ha, ha." Bash mocked.

Randy glances around and point at a random area. "Hey, look! It's that guy."

"Hmm?" Bash perked up and spun around to face "that guy". "That guy? I hate that guy! Get that guy!" And Bash and his friends run off to catch "that guy".

"And to you i say... Zone." Randy say to no one. Before he can take another step forward, the Nomicon hummed and light up bright red in his backpack.

Randy makes his way to the boys' bathroom while he smirk. "Huh? All right, Nomicon, you get two minutes, then it's back to the zone."

Randy push the door open and goes into an empty stall. He sits himself down on the toilet and open the Ninja Nomicon.

Meanwhile, in Spanish Class

"When's Randy gonna show up?" Howard asks (Name) in confusion and frustration.

(Name) could only shrug in response and wait for Randy to actually show up before they both interrogate him to taking so long.

In a dash, Randy has seated himself on his chair that Howard made sure no one would sit on. "Still in the zone?" The orange hair asked.

"Still in the zone." Randy replied, leaning back on his arm. He sees (Name) just on the other side of Howard and sends her a wink. "How ya doing?"

(Name) was surprised by this and didn't know what else to do. She smile back and wave at him. Randy notice her sheepishness and felt like he won the lottery.

"Good, i'm counting on you to zone us through our Spanish presentation." Howard continued, looking at his best friend with excitement.

"Howard, relax. Everything is agua frijoles." Randy respond to him, leaning back against the backrest of his chair. And Howard does the same.

(Name) laughs quietly at them and lean forward against her arms. "You know you just said "Everything is water beans", right?"

Howard turns to her. "Come on, (Name), support us on this."

"Yeah. And we're ready for this. We've even been studying with Miguel." Randy smugly added.

"The guy who runs the burrito cart or Spiderman 2099?" (Name) asks with a small smirk.

"He said our Spanish speaking is chile Verde." Randy says to her proudly, not even knowing what it means. "Chile verde, (Name)."

"Oh, really? All right then." (Name) teasingly spoke, rolling her eyes playfully before she turn to their teacher again.

Some time later

Debbie kang went to the front of the class to do her presentation, which as expected, turned out great.

"Thank you, Debbie kang. For that informative report on the very, very, very, very cute and deadly Mexican death bear."

"De nada, Señora Jorge." Debbie hummed, proud of her presentation before going back to her seat.

"Señorita (Last name). Es tu turno." The Spanish teacher called.

(Name) nod her head and stand up from her seat. She heads to the front of the class with a picture of a Mexican wolf and place it over Debbie's. She and Debbie worked together over the weekend for this presentation so they both agreed on doing animals.

(Name) pull out the paper from her pocket and start to read from it.

"El lobo mexicano, uno de los lobos más amenazados del mundo, alguna vez vagó por miles por el suroeste de Estados Unidos y México.  En comparación con los lobos de Montana, Alaska y Canadá, los lobos grises mexicanos son más pequeños y de color menos gris.  Zoológicos como el de El Paso están desempeñando un papel importante para salvarlos de la extinción.  Desde 1998, se utilizaron lobos nacidos en zoológicos para reintroducir la especie en la naturaleza en Arizona, Nuevo México y Sonora, México." (Name) read from her paper before she adds, "Estos son los datos curiosos sobre los lobos mexicanos.  ¿Sabías que hubo una rápida reducción de las poblaciones de lobos mexicanos en el suroeste de Estados Unidos entre 1915 y 1920?  A mediados de la década de 1920, las pérdidas de ganado a manos de los lobos mexicanos se volvieron raras en áreas donde los costos alguna vez oscilaron en millones de dólares."

"Y es que el lobo mexicano es la subespecie de lobo gris más rara de Norteamérica." (Name) read again, looking up to her fellow classmates. "Además, en 1977, el Servicio de Pesca y Vida Silvestre de EE. UU. inició esfuerzos para conservar la especie.  Y los lobos grises mexicanos son la subespecie de lobo gris más pequeña, siendo aproximadamente la mitad del tamaño de los lobos grises norteamericanos. Eso es todo de mi presentación. Gracias."

"Asombroso, Señorita (Last name)." The Spanish teacher say happily as she and the other classmates clap their hands in amazement. "Thank you, (Name) (Last name) for your report on the Mexican wolf."

(Name) smile happily and say kindly, "De nada, señora Jorge."

With that, she went back to her seat and place away her paper.

"(Name), that was amazing. I knew working on our reports for Spanish class during the weekends was a great idea." Debbie compliments her, smiling happily since she's still proud of her Mexican death bear report.

"You were awesome, too. You didn't even have to look at your paper more than twice." (Name) compliments back, giggling softly at her.

"Gracias, (Name)." Debbie say flusteredly.

"De nada, Debbie." (Name) say back, grinning happily.

As she turn to face forwards, Randy gaze at her in a dreamy way. Hearing her speak in another language makes her sound so cute/sexy. He can already imagine himself and (Name) calling each other romantic nicknames in Spanish.

"Señores Cunningham y Weinerman. Su turno." Senora Jorge call out to them, telling them that it's their turn.

Randy and Howard didn't respond. Howard was just staring at her while Randy continue to stare dreamily at (Name).

Debbie glance at the back of their heads and decided to speak up, "Turno. It's just "turn" with an "o" at the end of it!"

Howard and Randy perk up at her and stand up from their seats, going to the front smugly with their paper in Randy's hand.

Howard knocks down the picture of the Mexican wolf and grins. "Randy, why don't you salsa roja."

Randy nod his head and smiles, "Ladies and gentlemen... y Cariño mío."

All of (Name)'s attention is suddenly on Randy and Howard. Mostly Randy. She wasn't sure if he was saying that to show off or that he's directly calling her that. Because he looked at her when he said those very words.

"And Debbie kang." Howard added grumpily which earned a grumble from her.

"Our report is on Spanish explorer, Ponce de Leon." Randy announced. He clears his throat. "And here i go."

"Ponce de Leon, chimichanga flautas, tamale nacho supremo." Randy read out loud from his papers.

(Name) nearly choked on air when she heard him literally name the foods from the menu of the food truck.

"Ah, but Ponce de Leon is most famous for discovering habanero quesadilla. Corn or flour tortilla." Howard continued, after taking the papers from Randy.

Randy closed their report with, "Burrito grande for listening."

(Name) didn't understand how they were even sure they learned from Miguel or just keep on listening to him read the menu of his food truck because he thinks they were ordering.

"What was that?" Señora Jorge asks in disbelief, standing up from her seat.

"Uh, Spanish." Randy replied.

"Mm-hmm." Howard nodded in agreement.

Debbie laughed mockingly while (Name) had to hide her face behind her hands from embarrassment.

Senora Jorge sighed and place her hand over her forehead. "I'm giving you both an "F"." She tell them, picking up the pen from her desk and grade them.

The duo gasped loudly in surprise. They stop on their tracks and spun around to face her. "You're giving us an "F"?" Randy repeat in disbelief.

"Si." Senora Jorge replied.

"Oh, a "C"." Howard sighed in relief. "Hah. That's way better than an "F"."

"No, i am giving you an "F"." She correct them.

"An "F"!" Randy repeats in shock.

"Si."

"Are we getting a "C" or an "F"?" Howard question in frustration. "I-i just need to manage my parent's expectations."

As soon as the bell rings, Howard cried out in distraught. "AN "F"?!"

Randy, Howard and (Name) leave the classroom together and walk down the halls for their next subject.

"I did not see that coming." Howard told them before he slaps his forehead.

"Howard, don't panic. This is a small speed bump." Randy reassured him. "Remember, i'm still in the zone. I'll just go back in there, ask Jorge for some extra credit and, boomo, F-o becomes a C-o."

"No. You two are gonna study for the Spanish test next week." (Name) chime in, holding Randy's arm to prevent him from turning back. "You guys are gonna study with me at Saturday."

"Aw man!" Howard groans loudly.

(Name) sighed and added, "I'll buy you guys whatever you want if you pass."

Randy's interest perk up and he grins happily along with Howard. "Done!"

"Good." She smirks proudly at them before she turn to Randy to ask about the previous subject she's been wanting to talk about, "Hey, Randy? About the—"

Something broke down the wall beside them, right above the lockers and crashed into the hallway they're in. The trio screams in surprise and watch the Robot bat-snake hiss at them and roared.

Howard runs away to hide while Randy and (Name) stay in place. "Right after i take care of that." Randy says to his best friends.

"No, no, no, priorities." Howard shakes his head in disagreement. "First, our grade, then snake-y, fly-by thingy."

"Relax. They're super easy to beat." Randy smirked, grabbing (Name)'s hands and guide her to stand beside Howard in his hiding spot. "I'll be back in, like, two seconds."

Randy takes off to hide and transform into his Ninja suit. Howard and (Name) turn back to the robot bat-snake and watch it grab a student, Bucky, from the Band room.

Bucky screamed in fright while the bat-snake robot raise him to its mouth as it roars. Eventually, the robot toss Bucky into the air and catch him with its mouth, swallowing him down.

(Name) yelp in shock when it did while Howard gawked.

"Hey!" The Ninja shouted and throw his sword at the robot's wing, pinning it to the ceiling. "Hork up the band geek."

The robot got the sword out of its wing and slither down to the Ninja's face. "Yeah, i said it." The Ninja challenged.

The robot bat-snake open its mouth and blows him back, making a burping sound when he did. The Ninja rolls back and land on his feet beside Howard's and (Name)'s hiding place.

"Ninja Horking Ball!" The Ninja exclaimed, pulling out a yellow ball from his suit and throw it at the robot's belly, which made it puke out Bucky from its inside.

"Whoa. Thanks, Ninja." Bucky groaned before crawling away from the scene.

The Ninja then take down the robot bat-snake by beheading its head from its body, using the robot bat-snake's tail.

(Name) and Howard sighed in relief as The Ninja turn to face them. "Back in the zone!"

But, something else came out of it and started growling at the Ninja. "Mexican death bear!?" The Ninja exclaim in disbelief before he was swung into a locker.

"How did-!" (Name) was about to shout until Howard pull her down by her arm.

"(Name), you gotta help him! You're better at zoology, right?" Howard frantically shouted.

(Name) pull her arm from his grasps and run away to transform into her hero suit. "Okay. Mexican death bear. How to defeat it without hurting it?" She mutter to herself while going into the Janitor's closet and transform.

(Hero name) dashes out of the closet and return to the fight scene. She notices The Ninja being thrown around and immediately got him out of its tail which angered it.

"You okay?" (Hero name) asks him in concern, pulling out a weapon from her suit.

"Yeah. You finished doing, you know what?" The Ninja replied, sitting up from the floor and pull out the Ninja Nomicon.

"I, uh..." (Hero name) say nervously before they were cut off by the Mexican death bear's roar. "Talk later!"

The Ninja and (Hero name) leap out of the Mexican death bear's claws. They stopped right in front of a classroom and the bear charges at them, bearing its mighty sharp teeth.

(Hero name) glances around for a plan and immediately, she grabbed the door to the classroom beside them and used it to trap the Mexican death bear's teeth, buying them some time.

The duo moved away from it and the Ninja pulls out his Ninja Nomicon. "Okay, i got a death bear situation going on here. I could really use a little Nomicon sauce right about now." The Ninja says, trying his best to open the magical book. "Why... Won't... You... Open?"

The Ninja Nomicon respond to his demand but it didn't open to him.

"Oh, really? You're mad at me because i blew you off before? Okay, fine. I'm sorry you couldn't handle me being in the zone. I apologize. Now please help me!"

(Hero name) look to the side and realize that the death bear had broken free from its trap. She throws The Ninja aside to get him out of danger, deciding that she'll distract the death bear while he comes up with a plan.

"Aah!" The Ninja groaned, sliding across the carpet towards a recycling bin where Howard is in.

"Two seconds, huh?" Howard says, standing out of the recycling bin.

"Oh, did i keep you waiting? I'm so sorry." The Ninja spoke with sarcasm, sitting up from the floor. "I lost track of time fighting a death bear!"

"Is it really fighting when you're just getting your butt man-handled!" Howard noted.

The Ninja frowned under his black and red
