If Randy and Howard Were Never Friends (Theory)

Page 1, 2, & 3

So, if Randy and Howard were never friends. Guess I should sort of make a timeline, but still explain it.

In the episode where it showed little Randy and little Howard, I picture Randy to be annoyed by Howard and doesn't even try to make friends with him, so he stays with Julian. Since, Howard is a loud person, I feel like Randy would be more of a quiet kid and also more smarter in class, because he'll be a good kid and listen in class. As he grows older, he'll become better friends with Julian in this timeline, since in the show he spends practically all his free time with Howard.

Flashforward to the show's timeline. Randy still gets the Nomicon and becomes the Ninja. He doesn't tell Julian, so no one knows he's the Ninja. Somehow he is able to balance his ninja life with his personal life, probably because he's more mature and responsible. His ninja training goes a lot more smoother, but he does get confused in some parts.

In his school life, I see him getter better grades, because he listens to his classes and observes them as well. I can also see him placing miniature cameras around the school like a spy, you know, to see if anyone is fishy, plus to know who he can trust.

If anyone asks," Oh, but what about the school's cameras?" Let's just say, his ninja senses help him dodge the cameras.

I feel like the Howard in this timeline would be Randy's rival, besides Bash.

All of the Howard fans: But isn't he suppose to be the class clown? How could he be a meanie to Randy? Yes, I know this is your theory if they were never friends, but why?

Man, calm down Howard fans! Let me explain. Yes, Howard is still the class clown, but he's not friends with Randy. Randy is a good, so in the actual show he sort of helps Howard be a nicer guy, but Howard's not that much of a nice guy. So, in this timeline, he's still a class clown, but is more of a jerk.

I'm not 100% sure about what I'm about to say, but, I think Howard and Bash could be friends.

No! Howard fans! Please, don't attack me!

Just hear me out, I think they could be friends because Bash might like Howard's jokes and laugh at them. So, they start to talk to each other and say jokes; they soon take an interest to each other, and they become friends. Yes, I know Bash is a bully, but Howard is more of a jerk in this timeline, so I can see them team up and bully the rest of the students.

Because Howard now became a bully, he'll call Rand a "Mute Nerd," since Randy doesn't talk much and makes good grades. So, that's how he'll become Randy's rival.

So, you know how Howard's such a jerk to Julian and basically not know of his existence? He'll practically bully him whenever he sees him and call him a "Weirdo, Creepy Weirdo, or Freak." So, Randy has to back up Julian and protect him from Howard.

(Oh, yeah! I forgot to mention: Randy looks like NomiRandy because he would usually wear his hoody. Yeah, just a side note.)

So, sometimes Howard challenges Randy to a fight because he protected Julian; and Randy wins all the time without breaking s sweat, literally. But, there will be those times when Bash is nearby and Howard calls for backup. Randy sees this as more of a challenge and tries more in this fight, and still wins.
