Chapter 10

In the dining room Marinette, her parents, Tikki and Alya were talking, as they were waiting for Adrien. Marinette's mother, Queen Sabine, was a short black-haired woman with grey eyes, who was from a kingdom of Asia. Her father, King Tom was a brown-haired man with large build. He had green eyes, sideburns and a moustache.

"Sweetie, please be reasonable." Sabine said to her daughter "Do you know a lot of boys who spent their time swimming around in the ocean saving people, and then they disappear like they never existed?"

"Your mother is right, Marinette." The king agreed. "You've been rambling about this 'dream-boy' for almost a month. You haven't smiled ever since not even once. We're getting worried about you."

"I know you are, but I'm telling you, he was real. And I'm gonna find him." Marinette said.

"But, why do you want to find him so badly?" Alya asked.

"To thank him…for saving my life."

"Is that all?" Alya teased her.

"Yes!" Marinette insisted, but Alya wasn't convinced. No one else was.

"Well, enough with this, girls." Sabine said, wanting to change the subject. "Marinette, who exactly is that boy you brought here today? Is he a friend of yours?" She asked.

"Or a special friend?" Tom asked smiling and winked at his daughter, making her blink.

"What? No, no it's nothing like that." Marinette answered "We met today. Tikki and I found him at the beach, near a wrecked boat. He must have been washed up from a shipwreck and he seemed like he had been through a lot. When we found him he could barely stand on his feet."

"Oh my." The queen said.

"Well, then you did the right thing for bringing him here." The king said her.

"Your majesties, I present to you…ummm…the boy princess Marinette met today." Mrs. Bustier said Adrien entered the room.

He was wearing a black shirt, a white jacket with sleeves rolled up above his elbows, blue pants and orange shoes. He was feeling a little awkward. In this room were Marinette and her family. He had to make a good impression, but they surely would have questions. How would he answer their questions? Well, he had Plagg, he could answer instead of him, but really. He was Plagg! What if he said anything stupid?

Marinette nearly dropped her jaw when she saw him. Even if she thought that his eyes were mesmerizing when he was Cat Noir, they seemed even more beautiful now. She did her best not to stare at him again, but it was very difficult for her. She felt like she was looking at an angel, and that didn't go unnoticed.

"Wow. Someone looks good. Right Marinette?" Alya said, giving her friend a light nudge.

"Uhhh…Yeah, you look late- UH! I mean- you cook great- I mean youuuuuu…Look…great! Really great." Marinette stuttered, without knowing why.

Adrien looked at her puzzled, but smiled at her nonetheless. He actually thought that her stuttering was kinda cute.

"All right, let's all sit down. I don't know about you, but I'm famished." Alya said and they all sat down at the table.

"So am I! Well, when's the food coming up?" Plagg said floating out of Adrien's jacket, and received from him an angry look.

"Plagg!" Tikki said floating up to him.

"Tikki! Haven't seen you for a while!"

"For two hundred years to be exact."

"Wait. You two know each other?" Marinette asked.

"We were partners, once or twice." The black creature answered.

"Why, Marinette didn't tell us you're a miraculous holder too." Sabine said to Adrien "What's your name, young man?"

"That's Adrien. He's mute, so I do the talking for him." Plagg said and Adrien covered his face with his hand. His worries came true. They were in the dining room for only thirty seconds and Plagg was already saying stupid stuff.

"You haven't changed at all." Tikki said.

"Neither have you. You're still little and red and cute." Plagg covered his mouth, slightly blushing when he realised what he said, making Tikki and the others giggle. "Yeah, yeah I'm funny people, we got it. Now, can we eat?" the kwami said and sat next to his holder who teasingly gave him a light nudge. "Oh, gimme a break. We've got work to do here remember? So stick to your lady and leave me alone." He whispered agitatedly.

Adrien then spotted a dingle-hopper on the table, and thinking that it was okay for humans to brush your hair on the table, he started combing it. Everyone looked at him perplexed and his kwami facepalmed. He completely forgot that everything Adrien knew about human objects he knew it from Nino's inaccurate and stupid explanations. Realizing everyone's looks, the boy put the fork down, feeling super embarrassed. Then he saw the king about to light a snarfblat, when he noticed that Adrien was staring at it.

"You like it?" He asked the boy, who nodded excitedly, and handed him the pipe "It's really beautiful. I believe it-" before the king could finish Adrien blew hard in the pipe and covered the kings face with black smoke, making everyone, even the king himself to laugh.

Adrien was confused. Didn't he make a fool of himself just now? And why was king Tom laughing? Wasn't he mad? Angry? At least upset?

"Sorry papa." Marinette said first as everyone stopped laughing.

"Don't apologize at all sweetie." Tom said wiping his face with a cloth. "It's been days since we've seen your beautiful smile."

Adrien was relieved that he didn't embarrass himself (this time), but without noticing, he started to stare at Marinette.

Her father is right. Her smile is really beautiful. He thought, and his look was soon noticed by Marinette.

"You know, I used to do the exact same thing when I was little. I mistook the pipe for a saxophone." She whispered to him and the two exchanged a smile.

"Now, Miss Bustier, what are we having today?" The queen asked.

"Please don't be seafood. We've been eating seafood for almost a week!" Alya said.

"And that's why Cheng Shi fou decided to cook his specialty today. The Celestial Soup." Miss Bustier said.

There you have it! Personally I really liked this chapter. Hope you liked it too. Please review :D
