Haley was chatting up a storm with dad as they entered a small restaurant under one of the large buildings in the city.

The family got a table at the side in a booth and they all slipped in together.

"So, Jake," Susan smiled at her son, "how was your day?"

Jake shrugged, "Fine. I met some people."

Susan lit up, "Did you? That's great!"

"Aw, I'm proud of you, Jakaroo," Jonathan said warmly.

"I'm not," Haley quipped from beside him.

Jake shot her an annoyed look, but ignored her, turning back to his parents, "Can we just order already? I'm hungry."

"Oh right," Jonathan agreed, "let's do that."

After eating, Jake stretched out his arms, glancing outside to see that it was dark already. Dang it. But he would still try. He looked to his parents, "Mom, dad, could I go out for a bit? And… stretch?" He hinted.

Susan sent him a look, "Not this late. Look, it's gotten dark."

Haley turned up her nose, "Yea, Jake. You could get lost."

Jake scoffed at her, "I'm not a blind dog-"

"-Dragon," Haley coughed, lamely covering her mouth while clearly staring at him.

"-or something," Jake continued. "I can make it back just fine!"

Jonathan frowned at Jake, "You were out all day, Jake."

Jake grimaced, "Yes, but that was as myself. I need to stretch." He emphasized, trying to get the message across to his dad.

Susan cut him off, "I don't think so Jake."

"But mom! It's not like I can do it in the hotel room! It's too small!" Jake protested.

Susan pursed her lips.

"Aw," Jonathan began, "I think it's okay. Our Jake is just going through his teenage years. Let him spread his wings, dear."

Susan sighed, but smiled at Jake, "Okay, fine. But you'd better find your way back to the hotel by nine, sharp!"

Jake nodded eagerly, "You got it!" He patted his mom's hand and rushed from the table, "Bye! See ya, Hales."

"I'll text you the address!" Susan called out before the door closed from the restaurant, letting Jake run off.

He ran to an unlit area of trees and a few shrubs, calling out with a bright flash, "Dragon up!"

"What a great city!" Jack bellowed, "Everyone was so excited about ghosts! It makes me excited too!"

"Dad, you're always excited about ghosts," Danny deadpanned.

Jack blinked, then grinned again, "You bet I am!"

Maddie laughed, and Jazz rolled her eyes.

They had just finished up their dinner at a cozy seafood restaurant.

Danny felt a chill run down his spine. It wasn't his ghost sense, no, but he wanted to get out. Turning to his parents, he said, "Could I go out? I wanna… check out the nightlife of the city."

Maddie frowned, "Danny I don't think nightlife is appropriate for you."

Danny turned red in embarrassment, stuttering, "N-No, I…"

Jazz took a glance at Danny, then turned to Maddie, "Mom, I think what Danny meant was that he wanted to experience all the city lights and sights during the night."

Jack beamed, "Oh! That sounds like a great idea! Let's all go!"

Maddie turned to Jack, "Jack, didn't you say you wanted to watch that ghost special tonight?"

Jack froze, "That's right! I completely forgot."

Jazz smiled at her parents, "Don't worry, I can go with Danny."

Danny stifled a groan.

Maddie hesitated, "Well, if you two really want to…" they both nodded, "then I suppose it's alright."

Danny stood up, "Thanks mom," he smiled.

Jazz followed him, "We'll see you guys later! Have fun!"

As soon as the two were out of the restaurant, Jazz turned to Danny, "Make sure you call me once in a while. Knowing you, you'll forget. And if you do, expect me to call you."

Danny blinked at her, "What are you talking about?"

Jazz rolled her eyes, "I know you wanna go ghost, so here's your out."

Danny gaped, "Really?"

"You really think I would encourage nightlife activities?" Jazz retorted.

Danny blushed but shook his head, "Then what are you going to do?"

Jazz winked at him, "Explore the city. We live in the suburbs, after all."

Danny stared at her for a moment, before smiling, "Thanks Jazz. Don't worry, I'll call you!" And with that, he ran off into the darkness with a call of, "Going ghost!"

Dinner had been quiet and stiff as usual for Adrien. He sighed as he entered his suite in the hotel. Of course, his father had to go all out and get a huge hotel that was basically an apartment.

Plagg was nestled among some of the pillows on the bed when Adrien returned. Adrien smiled at him and passed some cheese to him. Plagg quickly grabbed it, devouring them, "Oh man… American… cheese… so good…"

Adrien rolled his eyes, then fell back to lay on the bed with the kwami.

Plagg glanced at him silently, waiting for him to speak.

Adrien stared up at the ceiling, playing with his ring as his hands rested on his stomach, "You know Plagg… I think we should go out for a run."

Plagg blinked, "Really? Don't you think you'll get caught?"

Adrien shook his head, "Nah. It's just like back home; nobody will find out."

Plagg shrugged.

"But… just in case," Adrien stood and started messing with pillows and sheets on the bed, knocking Plagg out of the way.

"Hey!"

"There," Adrien stood away proudly at his pillow mess.

Plagg peered over Adrien's shoulder with a scowl, "What. Is. That."

"It's supposed to be me under the blankets," Adrien explained.

Plagg eyed him suspiciously, "Is there a reason why you wanna go out so bad?"

Adrien hummed, "Well, I do wanna get out. But, I also wanna see those other heroes from earlier."

"Why?" Plagg asked.

Adrien shrugged, "To be honest, they seem interesting. I think it would be fun to have other heroes as friends." He explained, then cut Plagg from saying anything else, "Alright Plagg, claws out!"

A dark figure with a bright red scarf bounded from one roof to another under the shadows of the city. Usually, he wouldn't be out at this time, but today he just felt like it. With the rush of all the people in Norrisville during the day, the night had to look just as amazing.

Ninja flipped and landed on a lower building's rooftop, turning his gaze over the city. The view was great everywhere in the city, but there was one place that had the best view. Jumping again, Ninja set off.

It was a high climb, but Ninja made it to the top. Of McFist Industries. Sure, McFist was Ninja's enemy; but he had to admit that he had a sick spot in the center of the city.

Stepping over to the ledge, Ninja sat down, keeping a knee up to rest his arm on and letting the other dangle off the edge of the building, and reached into his pocket to pull out a packet. It was a piece of beef jerky he swiped from home before coming out for a run.

With his mask lifted to reveal his mouth, Randy began chewing the jerky with his eyes sparkling with the lights of the city.

Stuffing the last piece of jerky in his mouth, Randy pulled the mask over his face fully again, letting out a loud burp. He dropped his leg and leaned back on his hands.

But then, out of the corner of his eye, Ninja spotted a large shadow flit over the edge a few feet away from him.

He blinked.

It was too big of a shadow to be a bird, and there couldn't be any other animals this high up.

Jumping up, Ninja came up with one conclusion; McFist knew he was there.

Cursing his idea to come up there in the first place, Ninja took a defensive stance, his hand ready to grab his sword.

"Who's there?" He called.

There was a crash, and Ninja drew out his sword.

"Ah! Dang it," a male voice groaned.

Ninja watched as a figure stepped out of the shadows, his eyes widening and taking a step back. He slightly lowered his sword, "You… the dragon."

The dragon was staring at him, unimpressed, "Yea, my name is the American Dragon." He crossed his dragon arms, "You the Ninja?"

Ninja watched the dragon, taking in its accent. He huffed, "Of course I am."

American Dragon eyed him, "Look, can you put the sword down? I ain't here to attack you or anything."

Ninja slowly lowered the sword, but kept it at his side, "Then why are you here?"

American Dragon shrugged, then crawled over to the edge to stare off of it, "I thought the view would be nice from up here."

Ninja relaxed, his eyes turning to the bright city too, "Oh yea… this is definitely the best view of Norrisville."

The American Dragon was quiet, and Ninja carefully joined him at the edge a few feet away.

And that was when they heard something like metal hit the roof from one side, and something soft hit the ground from the other side.

American Dragon and Ninja spun around out of their city daze in defense. From the left, what sounded like sliding metal was heard before the figure was visible.

Ninja gawked, "You?" He paused, "Was it… uh, Cat, er, Cat-"

"Chat Noir?" American Dragon filled in.

Chat Noir nodded, "You know of me?"

"No."

"Nope."

Chat raised an eyebrow.

"Funny seeing you all here," A fourth voice said, causing them all to jump.

The boy with white hair in a black and white jumpsuit showed up.

Ninja groaned, "Just great. All of you again?"

Chat Noir shrugged, "Let us introduce to each other. I am Chat Noir." He bowed slightly.

The others stared at him oddly.

American Dragon shrugged, "Like I told him," he directed to Ninja, "I'm American Dragon."

"I'm Phantom," the white haired boy said.

Ninja placed his hands on his hips proudly, "I am the Ninja of Norrisville!"

"As if we didn't figure that out by now," Phantom commented sarcastically.

American Dragon and Chat Noir snickered.

Ninja jumped, "Well excuse me! I'm sorry that the citizens of Norrisville love me! I am their hero." He paused, glancing at the rest of them cautiously and carefully raising his sword, "And now that I think about it, I don't know if you are good or bad."

"Seriously?" American Dragon scoffed, "You think you can take all of us?"

"I'm sure of it," Ninja responded.

"Relax," Phantom said, "I'm not here to fight."

Ninja raised a brow, "Then why are all of you here?"

Chat Noir and Phantom shifted uneasily.

Ninja narrowed his eyes, "I knew it. You all work for McFist!"

American Dragon blinked, "Who's McFist?"

Ninja froze, "He's uh…" he deepened his tone, "my archenemy."

They blinked at him.

American Dragon scoffed in amusement, "Dawg, don't even try! We all know you sound like a girl!"

Chat Noir and Phantom snickered as Ninja became flustered.

"I do not!" Ninja squaked indignantly.

They laughed louder at him, and Ninja couldn't help the laugh from escaping his own mouth. Ninja put his sword back and paced back to the ledge of McFist Industries pyramid building where he plopped down again. "You all came to see the view, didn't you?" He guessed, "Just like the American Dragon there."

American Dragon followed Ninja to sit a little closer to him than where he sat earlier, "You can call me Am Drag for short."

Ninja raised an eyebrow, then glanced over all of them, "So, none of you guys are from here right?" He turned away from them, continuing, " you don't have to answer. I kind of figured because some pals of mine told me about you guys. The Norrisville Cross Country City Carnival is really bruce, isn't it?"

"Bruce?" Phantom repeated.

Ninja rolled his eyes, "Oh right, I forgot that other people were total shoobs to Norrisville."

He didn't notice the shrugs that the other three shared.

"Anyways," Ninja continued, "you guys definitely came to the right place. The view from McFist Industries is the cheese. And… if you guys don't attack me or the city, then I guess I could leave you alone."

"I'm not a bad guy," American Dragon puffed out his chest, "I'm the protector of my city."

"So am I," Chat Noir commented, "along with my partner, Ladybug."

"You have a partner?" American Dragon asked.

"Oh yes!" Chat Noir's eyes lit up, "My lady is wonderful!"

Ninja blinked in confusion.

"Ah!" Chat gasped, "perhaps you all could meet her! She is the best!"

"Uh sure…" Phantom answered, uneasy, "but that's if we meet up again."

Chat blinked, "We won't?"

Ninja and the others were taken back in surprise.

"I do not know any of you," Chat said, "but I believe we are more like another."

Phantom was the first to recover from confusion and shock, "That's pretty cheesy of you."

Chat Noir shrugged, "What can I say? I am full of team spirit."

Phantom froze, "... I'm feline that that was a pun."

Chat's eyes widened, a grin spreading on his face next, "A cat pun! That was so ghoul!"

The two of them fell into a bout of laughter.

American Dragon face palmed, "Oh please no."

Ninja spared him a deadpanned glance, "Agreed."

"I think we are going to get along," Phantom said, sighing as a last laugh escaped him.

"I think so too," Chat Noir said.

Ninja rolled his eyes, "Yea well, I can't-"

He was cut off by a loud alerting sound.

Ninja jumped, "What is that?" he shouted.

"Oh wait," Chat Noir stopped him and reached around him to pull out his baton, "I set an alarm for myself. It is nine o'clock currently."

American Dragon bolted up, surprising the others, "Nine o'clock! Oh crap my mom's gonna kill me! I gotta go!" He jumped off the edge of the building, his wings allowing him to take flight.

The rest of them were surprised, but then American Dragon flipped, flying back over. He stared at Ninja then pulled a phone out, "Could you tell me how to get to, uh," he read something off the phone, "Ethel street?"

Ninja blinked, but nodded, "Yea, it's not too far." He quickly guided the dragon to the right place.

"Thanks, dawg. Catch ya later, bros!" He called, before zooming away.

"I must head out as well," Chat Noir said.

Phantom opened his mouth, but was interrupted by a ring. He pulled out a cell phone, then sighed, speaking over it, "And here's my cue to go. See you around, Ninja, Catboy." He waved them off, before jumping into the air and vanishing from sight.

"What-" Ninja gasped.

Chat Noir extended his baton, ready to fling himself off, "Goodnight, Ninja of Norrisville."

Ninja stared at the once again empty rooftop, "Uh, right…" He sighed, but a smile appeared on his face under his mask. With a look to the city once more, he jumped, sliding his way down McFist Industries.

I think Ninja got a little OOC near the end. I'll probably revise it later. If I do, I'll let you guys know with the next chapter!

By they way, Happy New Year!
