Randy sighed in relief as he made it to his first class. The purple haired teen went to sit in his regular seat, placing his newly made assignment on his desk.
'Alright, I'm glad I finished this up before Mr. Jack comes in,' He grinned as he them leaned back onto his chair, closing his eyes for a moment. Suddenly a sound of something hitting at his desk made Randy open on dark blue eye at the person then eyes widened as he saw a familiar blond girl of his dreams.
"Hey, you're Randy, right?" Sky blue eyes looked at him with a soft smile as Randy's cheeks turned red and started to blabber a little dumbly.
'Oh juice, oh juice, oh juice, Terra is talking to me,' Randy thought in his head as Terra was waiting for him to speak, but the ninja didn't know what to say much to her.
Terra blinked as she watched the male in front of her was looking at her weirdly and awkwardly stepped back and waved with a nervous laugh, "Ooo-kay then, I'll just...yeah..." And with that she turned and went her seat in the front.
Randy managed to snap out of it as he then slammed his face onto his forehead and groaned softly. Great, he thought, the one girl he actually liked in this new school and he ruined it by acting like a total shoob. The ninja in training sighed to himself as he then folded his arms on top of his desk and leaned his chin on top of it and closed his eyes once more.
How he had a crush on Terra Markov was a simple love story in Randy's mind really. How once the boy from out of town had bumped into the popular girl and saved her from falling down the stairs. Even when she was a Teen Titan and could catch herself. But it was the thought that counted right? Since then, Randy was smitten with the blond Titan and wanted to capture her heart in some possible way.
But there were two problems with that.
One of those problems were this was Randy's first crush on a girl (Well he did have one teeny crush on the baton twirler, Theresa in his old school, but that was the heat of the moment), and he didn't know what to do or how to react properly. The second one was that Terra was officially taken by her teammate and best friend, Beast Boy.
'Wish I could announce of being the Norseville Ninja would come in Handy right now, but still...' Randy glanced up from his musing to see the green teen that was Terra's boyfriend, the two laughing and giving the goo goo stares to each other that made Randy's stomach sick.
Suddenly a loud crash was heard as everyone was panicking and staring out the window curious and fearful, and Randy got up immediately and peeked outside. Sighing, he saw it was one of his cousin's enemy; the one they called 'Skulker'. Apparently he brought some friends too. Randy squinted his eyes to see it was two stank'd monsters that looked...similarly like Jake's other two friends, Trixie and Spud. Randy then leaned back from the crowd forming around the windows and slinked away.

Danny was listening to his Algebra lecture when all of a sudden he heard the explosion and then looked out the window and frowned. 'Skulker' He thought with glowing green eyes as he then excused himself to go to the bathroom as he then raced out the door, someone else excusing himself and following the secret ghost boy.

Jake blinked as he tilted his body to the side from placing his last poster up to see a huge hunk of junk with two stanked monsters attacking in the front of the school. Jake recognized the two monsters as his best friends, considering who else would wear those clothes. The young Chinese then leaned himself hidden into a locker and shouted, 'Dragon up!' as a flash of red passed and then disappeared as the school doors were swinging open slowly.

Randy placed his mask on as a flashing red light appeared around his body and placed him into his ninja attire as he was racing out as soon as Phantom and the American Dragon were fighting with the three monsters.
"What's the situation?" The youngest of the trio skidded beside them as Danny and Jake were panting from tiredness of fighting the stank'd monsters.
"A...little...harder...than...I thought," Danny sat on the ground as Jake flew up ahead to a floating Skulker and blasted him with his fire breath.
Danny then jumped up again as he flew up and then was circling around Skulker with Jake as the two were blasting with all their powers at him as Randy was then dealing with the two stank'd monsters. Danny then was distracted as Jake was doing his own thing by swiping his tail at Skulker's head, but accidentally hit Danny instead, who the was pummeled into the ground next to his ninja cousin.
"Time for a little ninja sais," Randy boasted as he was about to get his weapons out until a green light shined above them and a shout of 'BIG CHILL!' was heard and a blue blur passed Danny and Randy.
"What...was that?!" Danny shouted as some big moth thing was flying beside Jake and cooling the robot ghost with his ice breath.
The two were then shocked as flying boulders flew above them, hitting the frozen Skullker on the mark. It was then followed by a blue and pink laser shot as the robot ghost exploded and soon robo pieces were flying everywhere. Then a shadowed figure jumped and cartwheeled to the two monsters and kicked them down to the ground and placed some magic on them, returning them back to Trixie Carter and Spud Spudinski.
Jake flew down and blinked with his two friends at the five figures standing before them, "Woah,"
The flying blue ice moth thing then flew down to the ground as a beeping sound was heard, and a green light then appeared around him, turning him once more into Ben Tennyson. Soon beside him came forth a robotic blue and white girl, a red haired girl in a pink and white space like attire, some Asian girl with a pink streak in her hair and finally-
"Terra," Randy whispered under his breath as Ben stepped to them along with Terra.
"So, I heard you were placing auditions for your new team?" Ben spoke coolly and then raised his hands out then grinned, "Well no need, I've got you some members,"
"Woah, woah, woah," Jake stepped up as he Dragon'd down and then frowned, Danny and Randy froze in panic as their friend revealed himself, "Just who says you could just up and think this team needs your help?"
"Relax Long, I'm not gonna join your little team. I can work solo or with Rook, my partner," Ben rolled his eyes and folded his arms, "And you two don't have to be so afraid, I know you're Randy Cunningham and Danny Fenton,"
The cousins looked at each other as Danny made a 'psh' sound and laughed nervously, "Whaa? W-Who is this Fenton you speak of?"
"Hey, I know you've been here for a year, and you cleverly changed your name to 'Just Phantom'," Ben made the bunny ears with his fingers for quoting, "But I knew you were called Danny Phantom in your old town...so even a moron could piece together that," The Omnitrix wielder grinned as Danny was seething a bit.
"So, but, how, huh?" Randy was blubbering a bit, thinking he was at least more tactful of himself.
Terra giggled and leaned to him and smiled, "Oh that's easy, I saw you transform plenty of times into the ninja...that's why I wanted to talk to you today actually, until you sort of spaced out-" Terra blinked and paused as she saw Randy once again staring at her with a stupefied look and a blush as the blond sighed, "-Like that,"
"Hi, I'm XJ9," The blue and white robot girl smiled and zoomed over to Jake and Danny, her hand out in a friendly like manner, "I'm pretty much also know as-"
"Why is a Titan interested in being on the team?" Jake interrupted before XJ9 could continue as the equal magical protector in female form stepped up.
"She doesn't want to join, she only told me you guys are like a secret club or something," She spoke as she flicked her pink strand of hair away from her eyes, "I'm Juniper by the way, also know secretly as the Te Xuan Ze," She introduced as Jake raised a brow.
"Never heard of you,"
Juniper spluttered, "Never heard of me?! I-I protect Magical creatures like you, surely you must've heard of me!"
Jake was cleaning out his ear with a finger and made a face, "Nah, my grandfather never mentioned you. And anyways, only the Am Drag gets to save the magical community, not some little girl with a weird fashion sense"
"Oh! You're one to talk!"
As the two continued to argue, the space wearing girl saluted to Danny with a confident smile, "Atomic Betty reporting for duty. You can see I am totally qualified to be apart of your team. I have good leadership, sheer strength, smarts, trained hand-to-hand combat, know use of weaponry and I have some mythical abilities," She explained out as Danny scratched his head.
"Oh wow, you seem to be over qualified though um, Miss Betty, but shouldn't you have your own team?" Danny asked as Betty sighed.
"W-Well I did. I was a Galatic Guardian once..." She had a misty look in her eyes, as if having a flashback moment as Danny looked at her weirdly.
"Well, our job here is done," Terra announced as she and Ben were going off until Randy stopped them.
"Wait! U-Uh," He tried not to look to Terra again and faced Ben instead, "W-Why don't you both join as well...w-we can be like uh, uh...eightsome team or something?"
"That's so a Justice League thing," Ben spoke with a drawl in his voice.
"And I think the word you're looking for is Octet," Terra pointed out as Randy looked at her dumbly, then the blond sighed, "It's another word for a group of eight,"
"T-Then we can call ourselves that!" Randy smiled as he then faced Ben again, "The Secret Trio expanded to The Secret Octet...catchy huh?"
Ben and Terra looked at each other in thought. Danny and Betty also looked to Randy's way, the same for the robot girl and the two Asian magical protectors. It was as if the name called to them. Ben was the first to break the calming intense silence with a cough.
"Look kid, thanks for the offer, but I don't work with a club like this. It's too big of a crowd for me," Ben waved and walked away coolly as Terra shook her head.
"Sorry guys, I'm already back on a team. I don't wanna mess anymore up than I've had already with them so...bye," Terra also waved as she was walking away as soon as the school bell rang.
Randy watched them go as he reached up and pulled off his mask and sighed. Danny saw this as he then closed his eyes and let the familiar warm light rings around his waist pull away and changed him back into Danny Fenton and approached his cousin with opened eyes.
"They'll come back somehow...the Secret Octet idea sounded pretty cool," Danny reassured as Randy smiled at him.
"Yeah it did," Betty came up as she then pressed into a watch and the same thing like Danny's happened and there stood Betty with less make-up and dressed in a yellow sweater, green hairband, green skirt and black and white tennis shoes, "By the way, in school, I'm just Betty Barrett,"
"It did sound pretty awesome," Juniper spoke, "And just call me June...and since it's a secret club, I'm sure that you guys will keep my secret,"
"As long as me being dragon is safe secret," Jake spoke as he looked at June for a moment then turned his head away in a huff, as June did the same.
XJ9 was rubbing her metal arm nervously but then blinked as a hand was in front of her, looking up to Danny, who was smiling softly at her.
"So, XJ9," The boy spoke as he took her hand, "Wanna join us?"
The cyborg blinked then smiled softly as she then suddenly was shifting into a soft skin; Danny's eyes widening as there stood a freckled girl with the same pigtails, only red, the same dark eyes looking up at him dressed in the cute blue dress and schoolgirl socks and shoes.
"Actually...my name is Jenny,"
