Headcanon(And Hope) No2: Mastermind Howard

Season 2 Episode 23

Howard claims he's a mastermind and proves it by . . . making Randy unconsciously do stuff?

Wait, what? No, that is not being a mastermind, that is being a manipulater. And a jerk. And a bad friend. And an asshole. (I don't like Howard, is that obvious?) And it makes him creepy. He knows way too much about Randy.

He makes Randy unconsciously do his work and at the same time sabotages his work resulting in Randy getting a bad grade. He has Randy sit down on a bench of butter and when he actually tries to warn him about that thing where the door would hit him Randy doesn't belive him for obvious reasons (events may be not in that order). At this point in time I actually see him as the bad guy. Always sabotaging Randy/The Ninja.

My hope is that in one Episode Howard and Randy had something big planned together or something like that but Howard sabotages Randy really bad (probably in school) and it goes way too far, maybe resulting in everyone hating Randy, further resulting in Randy being as mad as ever. Howard doesn't take it seriously as he normally does and then Randy would yell at him that he has had it with him. He would list all the times where Howard sabotaged him or made him mad or was in his way when he tried to perform his Ninja duties or generally being the only conflict.

Howard wouldn't realize that Randy was serious and still laugh at him and that would be the rest for Randy. He'd say something like "You know what? You can forget what we planned today! You can also forget of ever doing anything with me ever AGAIN!" (Maybe not said like that but meh) And then slowly, ever so slowly, Howard would realize what a shoob he had been all that time. Randy then rushes out of school (despite it still being school time) and rushes home and locks himself into his room, maybe crying out of anger and sadness. The Nomicon would start buzzing and Randy would go into it, still having tears run down his face. The Nomicon would repeat the lesson of "Friendship is a weight that the Ninja cannot Carry" Of Season 1 Episode 13 and Randy would agree this time around, stating that he should have listened the first time. Maybe he would decide to stay inside of the Nomicon for a while (maybe until there is another attack) and refuses to go out. The Nomicon would let a Samurai-like Doodling appear that comforted Randy (a due to emotions distracted Ninja is a useless Ninja after all). Three days would pass (Randy still in Nomicon) and Howard is not worried at all, in his eyes everything was Randy's fault. But others would start noticing how Howard wasn't with Randy anymore and that Randy wasn't there in the first place (Three more days have passed). People would start worrying about Randys wellbeing and ask Howard a lot of questions, which he would ignore. From that point on there are two options it could end. Randy and Howard not being friends aymore for a long time or Howard finally realizing what HE had done wrong. Personally I would prefer a bit of the first option but ending with the second one.
