I'm just a newbi, so bear with me. I need to make a choice between 2 characters. A random choice, so I can play it one time and I get choice 1, and I play it a second time and get the same or choice 2.

"The next day."
$ day_gone_by += 1
# return a random float between 0 and 1
#$ randfloat = renpy.random.random()
# return a random integer between 1 and 20
#$ d20roll = renpy.random.randint(1, 20)
# return a random element from a list
#$ randfruit = renpy.random.choice(['apple', 'orange', 'plum'])
if slept_alone == True:
$ randchara = renpy.random.choice(['m', 's'])
if randchara == m:
"Then m"
"Mom"
if randchara == s:
"Then s"
"Sis"
Ain't working out. It goes to "the next day" and it closes the page(in other words my vn goes straight to the title page)

What exactly are you trying to do? For one thing you need to use indentation, so the last part should look like:
That's assuming you intended to simply display those strings in the dialogue box.

if slept_alone == True:
$ randchara = renpy.random.choice(['m', 's'])
if randchara == m:
"Then m"
"Mom"
if randchara == s:
"Then s"
"Sis"
if sis_slept == True:
"Sis"
"Sis!!!!"
if mom_slept == True:
"Mom"
"Mom!!!!"

"Mom told us what was happing"
not working. I got the spaces alright, just not gonna show up here

Again there's no indentation and you haven't set the if statements to test for a string. The first one, for example, is testing if the variable randchara is equal to the value of the variable m, which, presumably, does not exist.

I have the indent, but i doesn't show up here, I don/t know how to include the Code: Select All box, and thats the reason why it didn't show up. I took the code you offer and put in my game. The select all box. and i doesn't work. I know i'm doing something wrong, i just need to know what i'm doing wrong??

Use [ code][/code] (without spaces) to show code with indents intact.

if randchara == m: and if randchara == s: should be if randchara == 'm': and if randchara == 's', because they're strings not the name of variables.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should have known that!!!

When you do
The variable randchara is set to either the string 'm' or the string 's'. The if statement has to test for that string. If you don't put quotes around the m or s then Python will assume that you are referencing a variable named m or s. For example:
