In a fit of inspiration, I began writing this. It's my version on how the Secret Quartet met. Completely different (maybe not completely…), and I also didn't want it to be like the other Secret Trio fics in existence. This is just chapter one, since these boys really can't meet in one chapter Let see where this'll go! Enjoy~

Based on queenofhearts7378 Secret Quartet btw.

I do not own Danny Phantom, Miraculous Ladybug, American Dragon: Jake Long, or Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja.

"So… what are we doing this weekend?" Randy asked, shutting his locker.

Howard hummed, pressing a finger to his face as he thought. "I don't know. Is there something happening in Norrisville?"

Randy shrugged. "Beats me. Is there?"

They two elapsed into silence. Behind them, several of their classmates passed by, cheering.

"Norrisville Cross Country City Carnival!" Rachel shouted.

"It's this weekend!" Bucky announced.

"Citizens from everywhere, together!" Flute Girl added.

They passed by, but Howard and Randy still remained clueless.

"I have no idea." Randy said simply.

Suddenly, a television screen behind them buzzed to life.

Heidi's face appeared on the screen. "What's up, Heidi Nation! This weekend is one of the most important weekends ever in N-ville!"

Her desk was decorated with maps and little globes.

"Starting this weekend, groups of people from other cities will be visiting Norrisville! The purpose is for everyone to have fun! And also so that the mayors can re-strengthen the bonds between our cities! Happy Norrisville Cross Country City Carnival!"

Howard and Randy blinked.

"Oh man I totally forgot!" Howard cried. "I've gotta get ready!"

Randy raised an eyebrow at him. "For what?"

"My Nana, Uncle Clive, Uncle Sledge, and cousin Vic are coming over this weekend for Norrisville Cross Country City Carnival!" Howard answered.

Randy blinked. "So?"

"So my mom's making me stay with them!" Howard shouted.

"Does that mean I have to spend Norrisville Cross Country City Carnival alone?" Randy asked desperately.

Howard glanced at him and paused. "Yes." He answered, unsympathetically.

"What!" Randy shouted. "That's not honking fair!"

Howard shoved Randy on the shoulder. "Don't worry about me, I'll probably end up going with the fam."

"Not you!" Randy shouted. "Me! What the juice am I gonna do?"

Howard rolled his eyes. "I'm sure you'll find something to do with Nomi-what's it."

"It's the Nomicon, Howard. You know that." Randy retorted, before letting out an exasperated sigh. "That's not fair." He drawled out the "a" sound.

Howard crossed his arms and stared at him. "Stop whining, you shoob. Look why don't you Ninja out and jump around the city and stuff? You'll be popular."

Randy gasped, and his eyes sparkled. "Howard! You're a genius!"

"No, I'm pretty sure I'm not."

"Norrisville Cross Country City Carnival is going to be the cheese!"

"Norris-who what what?"

"Norrisville Cross Country City Carnival!" Jonathan Long repeated.

Jake's face twisted. "What does that even mean?"

Jonathan laughed and patted his son on the shoulder. "It's a city festival, of course! What else could it be?" He started walking to the kitchen.

Jake followed after him. "Uh-huh, so what does this have to do with me?"

"With us," Jonathan corrected. "We're all going to there, that's why it should concern you."

Jake blinked. "What? We're going where?"

Jonathan sighed. "Geez, Jakaroo, you need help cleaning your ears?" He went to the refrigerator. "We're going to Norrisville." He took out a cola. "For the carnival." Jonathan said before Jake could ask.

"But what about the Am Drag?" Jake shouted.

Jonathan waved him off. "Oh, New York'll be fine. Plus, I heard that the magical community is going down there, too."

Jake's jaw dropped. "What? The magical community too? They can't even take care of themselves! Why are they traveling?"

Jonathan frowned at Jake. "I don't think the American Dragon should be speaking like that about the people he should be protecting."

Jake clamped his mouth shut.

Jonathan sighed and ruffled Jake's hair. "Don't worry about it, son. Do what your sister did and start packing!"

"Dad, don't compare me to Haley." Jake grumbled.

Danny sighed and entered his home. Leaving his backpack on the sofa as he went, he entered the kitchen.

"Danny! You're home!" Jazz greeted.

"Yea, hey." Danny greeted, going to the pantry to look for something to eat.

"Danny, we have leftover casserole in the fridge if you want some." Jazz informed him.

He lifted a hand. "No thanks." He grabbed a stray pack of chips and started munching on them.

"Oh," Jazz started. "By the way, mom and dad-"

"Danny boy!" Jack Fenton's voice boomed through the kitchen.

Danny turned around, fearing what was coming.

Jack entered the kitchen from their basement with Maddie trailing behind him.

"We've got some great news!" Jack declared.

"Is it a ghost weapon?" Danny asked nervously.

Jack frowned sadly. "No, not this time."

Danny blinked. "Then what is it?"

Maddie moved over. "We're going on a vacation!"

Danny choked on the chips in his mouth. He coughed, soggy potato pieces flying out of his mouth.

Jazz recoiled. "Gross."

"What?" Danny shouted.

Jack laughed, slamming a large hand on his back and causing Danny to step forward at the force.

"I knew he would be excited, Maddie!" Jack bellowed.

Danny collected himself. "We're doing what?"

Jack looked at him. "We're going to Norrisville! For the Norrisville Cross Country City Carnival! Isn't that a great name?" Jack asked happily.

Maddie gave him a small smile, then turned to Danny. "We'll be leaving tomorrow, so pack enough things for a few days."

"What? Just like that?" Danny asked, startled, looking around at Jazz, who shrugged at him.

Maddie nodded, then stopped. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. We're going for the ghost exhibition section."

Danny frowned. "What is this thing?"

"It's a gathering of a couple cities in the city of Norrisville." Jazz explained. "They have all kinds of games, events, people…"

"Ghosts!" Jack added.

"No, dear. There aren't any reported ghost activities in Norrisville… sadly." Maddie told him.

Danny sighed and moved away, exiting the kitchen.

"Don't forget to pack!" Jazz called out as he left.

He nodded. "Yea, yea, I won't."

"Adrien."

Adrien looked up from his desk to see Natalie. "Yes?" He replied, casting a glance sideways to check that his kwami was hidden away.

"You're father wants you to pack your belongings." Natalie said.

Adrien looked startled. "What for?"

"He is taking you to a city in America. Norrisville." She stared.

"America?" Adrien blinked.

"Yes. Your flight leaves tomorrow. Make sure your things are situated." Natalie said again, before leaving.

"Ooh, America, huh?" Plagg droned, appearing on Adrien's desk. "I haven't been there in a while."

Adrien cast a glance at Plagg. "You've been there?"

"Yes." Plagg replied in English.

Adrien blinked again, before smiling. "That's pretty cool."

"I know I am," Plagg said, as he started floating away.

Adrien rolled his eyes, and turned his attention back to his homework. However, he found his mind wandering. He mumbled. "America, huh?"
