Priya: *drum rolls* Wooh! I'm on a roll with these little fanfiction things. Here's your request Ritsel Abuan, thank you for the idea of a new story. I had fun writing this and also Marinette and Randy fighting on who is the better video game player.

Review Responses (Thank you! ^^ ):

(Happy Ninja Day) Cristina Correa: Hehe, yeah. I didn't really plan it to go downhill and back uphill at first, but it was a thought that came to me. (Also, I have a question. I know I said I'd be working on your request, but I don't really know what episode the "Ghoulian arc" is from season 2, can you please tell me the episode title or what number of the episode it is, thanks. ^^;)

(Happy Ninja Day) KagamiPINKAgreste: I may or may not continue it, but if I do get inspiration from something, I will!

Yes, I made Randy more mature here because through all the things he and Howard have been through before and after the defeat of the Sorcerer, you can say he and Howard have matured a bit or more. And yes with the personal gain part, Howard might have forgotten about it, but I'm pretty sure Randy wouldn't (unless he gets the Ultimate Lesson ;^;) .

I wanted to put more things destroyed by McFist on that part, but I thought three things shown destroyed would be enough. ? And even I feel sorry for Viceroy, having to deal with McFist's tantrums and selfishness.

It was! I love how Bucky does that on every joke he hears! ? And I have to agree with the car. The Debbie and Howard part was meant to be a romance part, but I didn't feel like it on that part, so that's that. I had to squee(!) on that "clinging hands" part! I was debating myself whether I should let the gang get their memories erased or not T3T. YES! YES! That part got me imagining how that actually would look if it were an actual scene!

- Not a Randy x Marinette ship (please no-)

-This one-shot is where Marinette and the others are the ones at Norrisville.

I do not own M:T of LB and CN and RC9GN.

"Haha! Yeah!"

Randy Cunningham, secretly the protector of Norrisville, did a victory dance as he got the highest score in the newest Grave Punchers game at Greg's Game Hole. Howard pouted, "No fair, you cheated!" he said, earning a deadpanned face from Randy. "Howard, I think we know who's the one who cheats here," he said before smirking, "Besides, I'm just too good at these games, that's why I have my face on every board of them," he said, pointing at the bunch of boards that had his face. "Not every board," Howard said as he pointed at the broken game 'Jack Hammer'.

Suddenly, Randy was about to point out that he let Howard get the high score when his phone started to ring, telling the two teens that someone was calling. Randy pulled his phone out of his satchel, he looked at the ID of the caller. "Oh, it's Adrien," Randy said with a smile. Howard's head perked up at the sound of one of their friends from Paris, "Well what are ya' waiting for, Christmas?" Howard asked sarcastically, "Answer him," he said, receiving an eye-roll from the purple-haired teen.

Randy accepted the call and put it on speaker so that he and Howard can hear him, "Hey, Agreste," Randy said casually and was followed by Howard, who said "'Sup,". "Hey Randy, Howard, me and the others are going to that Game Hole place you were talking about," the secret Chat Noir said from the other side of the phone, "Wanna tag along?" he asked. The two silently snickered, "Sure thing, though I bet we would be there first before you guys will," he said as he and Howard silently chuckled mischievously. "Haha, after the time I've hung out with you two, I think it's safe to say that I already knew that," a voice from behind them said.

Randy and Howard instantly looked behind them to see two boys and two girls. "Oh, you guys were faster than I thought," Randy said as he put on a dumbfounded face. Alya pulled her phone out, "Norrisville GPS," she explained, "We saw where the Game Hole was and thought it would be cool if you guys would join us, but instead, you guys were already here," Alya finished her explanation, earning nodding heads from the two Norrisville natives.

The group went inside Greg's Game Hole. Alya and the others were staring in awe at how many games were at the said arcade. Randy and Howard fist-bumped each other. They knew the quartet would be amazed by the amazing Game Hole, and that was just the first step of the plan. The next step is beating them in every game they play. So, without further-ado, they split up and started to lure any of them to a game.

"Hey Alya," Howard began, "Wanna see who's better at guessing who is who?" he pointed at a game where they had to guess famous people that are known in the entire world. Alya thought it would be a piece of cake to beat Howard in that game because she always does research about almost every single famous person. What she didn't know is that Howard already memorized the said all-well-known people in that game. Meaning, Howard has an advantage that Alya didn't know.

With Randy, he went to go to Adrien, "Hey Adrien," Randy said, "Wanna play the newest game of Grave Puncher?" he asked. Adrien put on a thinking face, "I don't know what that game is," he began, "But it sounds fun, let's go, Nino," said Adrien as Nino nodded and followed. With that said, they went to the game Cunningham mentioned. "Ok, so all you gotta do is punch graves," Randy said as they walked, "Oh, and make sure you don't get bitten," he added. Adrien nodded in understanding as they continued to walk towards the game.

Marinette walked over to see the two boys playing Grave Punchers with Randy beating Adrien. "Congratulations, Player 2, you are the world's worstest grave puncher," the speaker on Adrien's side said when he lost. "Hey, that's rude," Adrien pouted in a joking way as Randy raised his fists up high and did a little victory dance. "Hey guys, what are you two playing?" Marinette said all of a sudden. The trio looked at the secret Ladybug, "It's Grave Punchers, the brucest game in the whole state," Randy explained as he twirled the string of his controller.

"That's cool, can I have a go?" Marinette asked with a smirk. Randy narrowed his eyes as he smirked back, "Is that a challenge?" Randy asked. Marinette hummed, "You can say it is."

She took Adrien's controller sheepishly, muttering a quick "Can I borrow this, thanks." Randy, then, started the game again and the challenge began!

Half-way through the game, Randy was impressed at how good Marinette was at the game. She was just a few points away from beating Randy. "Have you played this before?" Randy asked, slightly glancing at Marinette. Marinette didn't look at him because she was too focused on the game, "Nope, never have," she answered as she counter-kicked a zombie. Marinette had reached Randy's score and was speeding up. Randy told himself that he had to step up his game, so he made sure that nothing was there to distract him and started playing like a pro.

Marinette noticed Randy's quick step up and started playing the game as much as Randy was. They were suddenly getting the attention of others. Adrien knew how good of a gamer Marinette was, so he stayed quiet with a sincere grin on his face. Of course, he couldn't vote on who would win, so he just watched the two.

"Told ya' I'd win," Howard bragged at Alya. The said girl rolled her eyes. They were arguing about their previous battle with who is who, "Yeah, right, you cheated-" Alya said, only to stop the argument as they saw both Randy's and Marinette's high scores. "Cunningham, what the juice?" Howard asked. Randy shook his head, "Not right now, Howard," Randy said, "I'm trying to beat Mari, here," he told Howard. Marinette scoffed, "In your dreams, I'll so beat this!" she said proudly. "We'll see about that, Paris girl," Randy said. "Paris girl? Really?" Marinette deadpanned, not letting her sight get loose. A smirk formed in Randy's face, "Well, what nickname do you want? Ladybug or Adrien's girl?" Randy joked, but Marinette thought he was serious.

Marinette's eyes widened at the name-calling of her secret ego, and her cheeks slowly turned red from the second name, "W-What!?" she said as she dropped the controller and clasped her hands from her mouth, losing her focus on the game. That one distraction, however, was more than enough to make Randy back in the lead. The black-haired girl realized that he was messing with her and glared, "Unfair, Cunningham!" she said as she picked the controller's up again and went back to serious-playing mode.

Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard outside of the Game Hole. Randy and Marinette stopped playing and everyone looked outside. A giant robot was breathing fire from its mouth. "Alright, let's do this again later," Randy said to Marinette and the group quickly, "Right now, we gotta RUN!" he screamed and started running as the flames started to reach the arcade. Everyone in the Game Hole panicked and went to the back door of the arcade to exit the madness.

Randy grabbed Howard by his collar, making the heavy-set teen yelp in shock, "Howard, it's N.N. o'clock," he said in a whisper. Howard scoffed, shoving Randy's hand away so he could catch his breath from the sudden surprise, "Yeah, no kidding," he said. Randy didn't pay attention to what Hpward said anymore and ran back inside the arcade to transform into the Norrisville Ninja.

Howard ran straight outside to where his other friends went, "Uh, Howard, where did Randy go?" Howard heard Nino's voice. Howard turned around to see their group of friends that were from Paris. "Uh…" Howard said, "He said he forgot to get something inside the arcade, or something," Howard made a quick excuse. "And you let him?!" Alya exclaimed. Howard shrugged, "The ninja'll come sooner or later anyway," he said. Then, as if on cue, someone yelled out, "SMOKE BOMB" and went to fight off the robot. "Told ya," Howard said casually, pointing at the ninja.

Randy showed up in front of the massive, destroying robot. His jaw fell on the floor when he saw what the robot looked like. It looked like one of the main characters from the game he was playing earlier at the arcade. "So honking bruce!" he shouted after dodging a swipe-attack from the robot. Another attack-kick nearly hit the ninja, but the said hero was ready to dodge it before he got hit. Randy took out a couple of nunchucks from his suit, "Whaddya say we go punch graves?" He challenged the robot. The robotic-character narrowed its eyes and charged at the ninja, who did the same.

"Ninja leap!"

Marinette and the rest were watching the ninja battling with the attacker. She looked at her friends, who were in shock of seeing how much property damage was happening, and Howard, who was casually taping the scene. Marinette was bewildered, "H-How are you not shocked at seeing this?" she asked the orange-haired boy. Howard looked at the secret heroine, "This thing happens to us all the time," he answered, "Doesn't this happen to you guys in Paris too?" he asked. Marinette wanted to protest, but she started having uncomfortable flashbacks of her and Chat Noir fighting villains that Hawk Moth made, and Lila, who can't stop pestering her and Adrien, and Kagami, who nearly kissed Adrien when she was in her Ladybug form (I have a love-hate relationship of that scene), or Mr. Pigeon who kept on attacking them over and over and over and OVER-

Marinette shuddered in discomfort, "Uh-huh, yeah, point taken, Howard," she said, glancing away from the obese teen and back to the battle. Howard was confused as to why she acted like how she acted, but shrugged it off.

With a loud explosion, the ninja had defeated the robot with a slice of his sword. "Huh, since when did that character be able to breathe fire?" he asked himself, "Oh well, smoke bomb!" he yelled as he threw out an orb and a cloud of red smoke appeared. Howard finished recording, "Oh-ho ho, this is so going on *ShoobTube," he said, repeating the part where Randy sliced the robot in-half. The people that left the Game Hole went back inside since everything was alright once again.

"How come the ninja doesn't get in trouble from all the damage he had caused?" Nino asked Howard as they all walked inside the arcade. "Well, McFist is the owner of this whole city, so it's his duty to 're-assemble' any broken parts of the city," Howard explained, "Oh, and one, duty," he snickered, "and two, it's his fault he sent another robot to destroy the ninja anyway," he whispered that last part. "What did you say, Howard?" Adrien asked as they continued to walk to the "Grave Punchers"game. "What I didn't say anything," Howard quickly remarked. Nino and Adrien looked at each other, but shrugged it off.

"Wait, where's Randy?" Nino suddenly remembered their purple-haired friend. "He should be here any minute," Howard said with a smirk. As if on cue, Randy came running to their direction, "Hey guys, sorry I ditched all of you, I hid inside the boys' bathroom once I saw the fight," Randy lied. "That's alright, it happens at our school in Paris too, we get it," Adrien said. Marinette then came walking between the two, "Now that the chaos is over," she began, "Should we finish our challenge?" she asked. Randy shrugged, "The game always ends when no one's playing it," he said, "Let's look who has the highest score. The rest of the group agreed and continued walking across the arcade.

Once they reached the game, Marinette, Randy, and the rest of the group were shocked at the two secret heroes scores. "No honkin' way," Randy said in disbelief. Both screens showed 1,009,121.09 points (wow, that's, that's high in my opinion-). "What a coincidence," said Marinette, shaking her head in disbelief. Randy then looked at Marinette with a smile, "You did good, fellow Paris girl," he said, raising a hand for her to shake. Marinette smiled back at the purple-haired teen, "And you did okay, fellow Norrisville pal," she said, returning the handshake. Randy's face fell, "Ok? Are you kidding me-" Randy was about to rant, when Adrien butt in, "Hehe, ok. Say Marinette, can you teach me how you did that?" he asked the black-haired girl, who's face started to redden and she smiled sheepishly.

"Of course! So what you do is…" And so, Marinette was teaching Adrien how to use what and what to use how. Randy and the rest left the two alone. Alya and Nino lead the way while Randy and Howard were at the back. "So, what now?" Howard asked. Randy thought of what else to do, and then an idea hit him. "Step 2?" Randy asked. Howard smirked, knowing what Randy meant, "Step 2," he agreed. The two boys then approached the couple, shouting both their names,

"Hey Nino, Alya! Wanna play that game?"

Priya: What do ya think? :D I hope it turned out good! Thanks for reading this shot. ^^

1st *: ShoobTube is their YouTube thing, right? I think so.
