Hi everyone!
This is my very first story ever, so I really hope you'll fav and review. :D
In this story about the secret trio, Jake, Danny and Randy is about the same age. It takes place after season 2 of RC9GN, and after both DP and AD:JL, except that the world doesn't know Dannys secret, in other words, the final episode of Danny Phantom: 'Phantom Planet', didn't happen.P.S Jake is a bit larger in his dragon form in my story, and he often walks on all four. Hope you don't mind. :3
Enjoy! XD

"Don't forget to pack the potions, that Fu made for you, young dragon," Lao Shi said as Jake had just finished packing.
He was going on a pretty big and challenging trip; he had to find a golden coin, it was hidden somewhere in an area of maximum 40 km from New York, his only help was a clue, that he would receive right before he left. This test would determine his navigating and thinking skills, as well as his speed and endurance.
"Yo, don't worry G, I have it all under control," Jake answered as he walked into the back of the shop, where Fu was stirring in a cauldron.
"You totally forgot about the potions, didn't you?" Fu asked with a knowing look.
"Shh, keep it down Fu, no need to anger Gramps further." He whispered with a finger on his mouth.
"Right… well here they are," he said, handing Jake a little white bag with a red cross on it, "cleverly disguised as a first-aid bag."
"But, isn't it a first-aid bag, but, you know, for dragons?" Jake asked with a smirk.
"Ahh, shut up, you'll thank me when it saves your life." Fu said as he turned around, with an offended huff.
Jake put the potions in the sports bag, which he had decided to bring.
"Are you ready to go, young dragon?" Lao Shi asked as he entered the room.
"aw yeah, I was born ready," Jake said, eager to set off.
"Remember you can only travel at night, to prevent too many people from seeing you, "
"I know, I know, stop worrying G, it's gonna be a piece of cake,"
"And no maps, the dragon must be able to navigate without any help at all and… JAKE! Are you listening?" he said and removed the headphones, which Jake had just put on, and placed them on the desk. "And no headphones, you have to be observant at all times! "
"Aww man,"
"Listen carefully young dragon, then I will give you your clue," Lao Shi said, and Jake did his best remembering and finding a meaning with what he heard, "To find the coin you must go towards the sunset, find the haunted town and seek help from the haunted human."
It was silent for a bit, "What? That's it!?" He asked as he began to feel nervous, his grandfather nodded. "Aw man, couldn't you have made it a bit more describing?"
"I'm not the one who made it."
"What? Then who did?"
"You'll know when or if you succeed. Now, get going, or else you won't get far before the sun rises," Lao Shi said as he nudged him towards the door.
"Fine, bye," he said nervously as he walked out of the shop. When he was out, he took a deep breathe. "Dragon up," he said, as he transformed into a dragon, he was sure that the darkness would hide him if anyone happened to be around. Then he took off, heading west, towards the fading orange light from the sunset.
It felt refreshing for him to fly and feel free, sometimes he would even do a few somersaults or spin and twist in midair. The rest of the time, he enjoyed the view, both the beautiful night sky and the scenery, which changed every other minute.
He watched the moon carefully, and when it seemed to approach the horizon, he started looking for somewhere to stay during the day. Thanks to his night vision, he could see, that right now he was flying over some cliffs and either tiny mountains or gigantic rocky hills.
He started searching for a cave of some sort or maybe an abandoned building, where he could sleep.
After a while, he found an old and small wooden house only a few kilometers from a very small town, Jakes dragon nose could smell that no one had been in there for months, so he decided to sleep there.
There was no bed, so he slept on the ground, but at least it wasn't as cold as it would have been if he slept outside.
When Jake awoke, he guessed that it was early in the evening, but it was hard to tell. He just hoped that there was an open restaurant in the small town.
"Dragon up," he said, almost stumbling over the words because he hadn't used his voice for a while. He flew a bit of the way to the town, before he landed in the forest, transformed back, and walked the rest of the way.
He didn't find any restaurant, a little local tavern was the best he could find. As he opened the door and walked in, a few of the nearest people stopped their conversations to look at the newcomer. Most of them seemed surprised that a stranger came, and not only a stranger, he was a child.
Even though most of the talk continued after a short while, Jake could still feel multiple gazes locked upon him.
When the sun started to set, he left the tavern and walked a bit into the forest before he transformed, then he continued his trip.
Another night passed, and then another, he checked all the towns he passed by, but they all looked normal, not haunted. He could not afford to sleep in a bed, that is, if he also wanted to eat the other days, so the few past mornings he had found somewhere just outside a town to sleep, so that he could spend the day searching the town, when he woke up.
When the moon started to set on the third night, he saw a bigger town in the distance. He decided to check that out in his human form, when he had slept.
Fields and farms surrounded the city, so Jake could easily find a barn with a hayloft, in which he slept.
He awoke sometime in the evening, he tiptoed down the hayloft and outside, and then he followed a road that was leading to the town.
100 meter or so before the town, there were a big sign saying: "Amity Park a nice place to live!"
"As if this is the place." He thought sarcastically as he looked at the sign, "None of the towns I've been in this far have looked haunted, and neither does this one."
Once it almost had become dark, Jake could conclude, that nothing in Amity Park seemed haunted, but it wouldn't be completely dark before an hour or so, so he looked around for somewhere to eat.
He found a burger place that was called Nasty Burger, even though the name wasn't so appetizing, he hadn't eaten for a while.
When he walked in, he was shocked, the place was full of teenagers, it looked like every teenager in the town, had decided to show up. He walked in, many of the teenagers turned around to look at him, just like in the little tavern that he had been in the first day, but this time it felt far more awkward. All these people was roughly his own age, and as they starred, he was awkwardly aware of his travel-worn appearance.
He hadn't had a bath since he left home, and after sleeping on the ground or in a haystack in three days and flying nonstop all night for three nights, it was no wonder the teenagers was starring. His clothes was dirty, and he was carrying a big and muddy sports bag, and on top of that, nobody had seen him before.
He decided to order some food to go, he didn't want to stay and eat. He walked up to the counter and ordered a burger and something to drink.
He heard a cheerleader whisper: "Ew, he is covered in mud!" to the ones she sat with.
Some boy whispered, "He looks like his on the run from someone, I mean look at that bag."
While another girl who was sitting near him whispered, "Is that hay in his hair?"
They didn't know that he could hear them of course, other than making his dragon senses strong, his dragon powers also boosted his human senses a bit, not much, but enough for him to hear what they were whispering.
When he heard the girl say, that he had hay in his hair, he pretended to scratch the back of his head and removed the hay. "Aw man," he mumbled, too low for anyone to hear.
He got his food in a paper bag, he paid and started for the exit, but as he came to the table with the cool kids, a big, blonde guy tripped him up. Jake fell to the floor, he stood up, hardly holding back a growl, and continued for the door. He didn't have time for that.
He heard the blonde laugh with his friends, while he said, "what a loser," but Jake ignored him, he was afraid, that someone would notice the flicker of fire in his eye, so he hurried out of the building and continued down a street.
When he had walked a few blocks, he walked into a dark blind alley. He hit the brick wall with his fist, hardly even noticing the pain, "how am I supposed to find a stupid little coin in such a large area, I'm not even sure of where I am! Maybe I've flown past the haunted town without even noticing." He said frustrated and frowned, "And now I'm talking to myself."
He jumped on top of a dumpster and ate his dinner. When he had finished he jumped off the dumpster and threw out his thrash.
"Nose of the dragon." He said, as his sense of smell got so sharp that he once again could smell Nasty Burger, and all the teenagers who still was there.
With his sharp sense of smell, he checked that there weren't any people around, before he transformed completely.
Then he took off to the sky, but he didn't get far, before he heard someone scream in the opposite side of town, he sighed, "I don't have time for this," he said as he turned around and flew towards the screaming.
He landed on the roof of a building right next to the commotion, to find out what was coursing it.
In the middle of the street stood, or floated, a boy, he had white hair and a black jumpsuit, and he was facing the other direction. Jake watched as the boy lifted his right hand, and shot a beam of green light towards a house.
That made Jake react, he left his sports bag on the roof, and then he took off towards the boy, Jake hit him in the back, before he noticed him, and pinned him down on the road, as Jake growled.
The boy had definitely not seen that coming, he yelped at the collision.
"Whaa…?" he tried to say, but the air was knocked out of him, when he hit the ground.
Jake was about to say something, when he suddenly couldn't see or feel the boy under his claws anymore.
Jake growled and used his nose to find out, where he was, and thanks to that, he was able to dodge another green beam from the boy.
"So, you are a ghost," Jake said, mostly to himself, "why are you destroying the houses?" Jake asked with a growl, the boy lowered his arms a bit, as he starred at the dragon in shock.
"Wh… what are you!?" he asked with a shocked and scared expression on his face, Jake sighed, it was pretty dark, but a nearby streetlamp shone just enough for the ghost to see him.
"Answer me," Jake repeated as he got down on all four and readied a pounce.
"I… I wasn't destroying the houses," Jake frowned at this.
"It certainly looked that way," he answered still ready to leap.
"N… no, I was trying to hit the ghost," he said as he pointed toward the house, that he had shot at.
"What gho… oh," Jake said as a giant green lump with a little head appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, "need help?" he asked as he finally noticed, the wounds and bruises that the ghostboy had already gotten from the fight.
"Um… I'm… Um…"
"I'll take that as a yes," Jake said with a grin, as he took off.
