Chapter 8:
House Warming Get Together
After Adrien's short trip to London to tell his Aunt and Cousin the good news of his marriage to Marinette, his Aunt's Butler Wilson dropped Adrien off at the Train Station to await for his Train back to Paris and his sexy fiance.
When he got to the Train Terminal and checked his Train for any changes, he notice that their was a small delay of 30min on the Departure sign for his Train back to Paris and sent a text to notify Marinette immediately of the delay and replied back in the text with a sad face and let his Lady know to turn that frown upside down as he went to find a seat and waited for his train to board.
"Well my old friend, looks like were going to be waiting for a few minutes in till whatever is wrong with the train is fixed" said Adrien as he was talking to himself, but he was actually letting Plagg know of the delay and since Plagg can't reply back, he just wiggles in Adrien's pocket letting him know he has heard him.
As 30min went by, the Announcer on the Intercom lets everybody know that the Train to Paris is ready to board and all passengers boarded the train and began its departure.
-Paris Train Station 4:30pm-
As Adrien's train arrives safely in Paris's Train station, everyone began to depart the train and headed to wherever they were heading off to as for Adrien, he headed off to the Parking Garage to his car and then back to his Lady.
As Adrien arrives back at his car, he took a look at his phone and noticed it was almost 5:00pm and by the time he would get back to his place, it would be at least 5:15-5:30 when he gets back to the Penthouse, depending on the traffic and got into his car and started it up and headed out of the Garage and Paid for the parking and headed home.
As he enters through the Penthouse door, he heard the TV was on in the Living room and went to see who was watching tv and saw that it was Tikki and the rest of the Kwamis watching a Marathon of Looney Toons and Plagg flew out of Adrien's pocket and joined his Kwami brothers and sisters as Adrien asked them where Marinette was and Tikki replied back.
"She's upstairs in the Master Bedroom last I saw her, she was working on a design" and returned to watching the show.
"Thanks Tikki" he answered back as he headed up the spiral staircase to the Master Bedroom and entered through the door and saw his princess on the bed asleep with a sketch pad lying right beside her as he walked over to the bed and sat on the other side making sure not to shake the bed to much and leaned in to give his sleeping Princess a kiss.
"Time to wake up Sleeping Beauty, your Prince is home" as Marinette stirs a bit and her beautiful Blue Bell eyes flutter open a bit and with the pull of sleep still on her, she says.
"If this is a Dream, I don't want to wake-up" as she says.
"Its no dream M'lady, your Prince is here to wake-up his Sleeping Beauty from her nap" replied back to her.
As her eyes open completely, she sees the face of Adrien and realizes he was home and says "When did you get frack beer...I mean back fear...I mean back here?" as she stutters her words and Adrien laughs at her cute stuttering and has learned the language of Mari Stutter since they been together.
"I just got home not to long ago" he replied back to her.
"Tikki, the other Kwamis? Where are they?" she says.
"Don't worry Marinette, there all present and accounted for, their watching Looney Toons on the TV with Tikki and Plagg joined them" he answers back.
"Oh Good" said Marinette.
As Adrien looked at the clock on one of the nightstands and saw that it was almost 6pm.
"Are you hungry M'lady?" he asked her.
"Starving, I only had a small tuna sandwich for lunch today" she replied back.
"What say we order some Chinse Food?" Adrien asked her.
"That would pawsome" she replied back with a little cat pun.
As Adrien took out his phone and called the Chinese Restarant and put in their usual order for delivery and after he was done, he went over to Marinette and puts his arms around her tiny waist while she was looking into a mirror and says to her "I missed you M'lady" and kisses her neck.
As she moans to what Adrien is doing to her neck she begins to talk "mmm, I missed you to kitty" as she leans into him and starts talking again "So, How's your Aunt?" she says to him.
"She's doing fine, running the Graham De Vanly Foundation isn't easy, but she's handling it pretty well" he tells her.
"And your cousin?" as she says it with a bit of growl in her voice.
"Felix is, well Felix" he told her and continues "When I talked to him, he said he's been doing some traveling since the last time we saw him, to places like Shanghai, Tibet, and Greece" he paused for a min and continues again "He says its for 'Spiritual Guidance' reasons" as he finishes.
"Spiritual Guidance Reasons?" Marinette replies back to him and continues talking "Strange? He doesn't look like the Spiritual Type" she finishes off with.
"That's what I said and he told me that he always believed in the 'Powers that Be' sort of thing, but I'm still skeptical" he said to her as Tikki comes through the door letting them the doorbell just rang.
"Adrien, Marinette, someone's at the door?" Tikki says to them.
"Thanks Tikki" Marinette replies back as she tells the rest of the Kwamis to hide in till the door closes and Adrien grabs his wallet and they all head to get there food and enjoy the rest of the night eating their dinner and relaxing.
As Adrien and Marinette get ready for bed and all but 2 of the Kwamis are in the Miracle Box, Marinette starts a small conversation with Adrien.
"Oh! I almost forgot to mention, my parents are anxious to see the Penthouse, so I was thinking we should have dinner here one night with Ayla and Nino and my Parents? I could make that 4 Meat and 4 Cheese Lasagna for dinner?" she asks him.
"That's a Great Idea Bugaboo" as he pauses and then continues "When do you want to make these Dinner plans?" he says to her.
"Lets see? I have a Job Interview with DaySonics the day after Tomorrow, so maybe the next day or the the day after maybe" she replied back to him.
"You have a Job Interview! That's Great News Marinette, I heard on the News while I was at my Aunt's place that Eric and his family were in Paris to do upcoming Job Interviews for new Employees at his Paris Branch of DayTronics/DaySonics Empire" Adrien said to her.
-Adrien POV Flashback, Location: London, England, Graham De Vanly Country Estate-
While in his bedroom getting ready for bed. Adrien and Plagg had the Television on with the evening News.
"Don't Be Amused, Its just the News with Nadja Chamack here at Paris International Airport with this Breaking News Report as we received word about the Famous Business Tycoon from America, Eric Dayton President and CEO of DayTronics Enterprises and owner of DaySonics Fashions has just arrived in Paris today on his Private Jet with his wife and 2 kids" as Nadia said "And there he is, the famous Tycoon himself Eric Dayton with his family getting off his Plane as we speak. Let's see if we can get him to answer some Questions" as she paused for a bit and continues the conversation "Mr. Dayton, Mr Dayton, Mind if we ask you some Questions?" she asked him.
"Ah Nadja, Its always a pleasure to answer one of your Questions" he said to her.
"So What Brings You to Paris? Some Big Event that were not aware of?" she asked him.
"Nothing of the sort Nadia, its just a simple Employee Hiring/Family Vacation sort of thing" he answered back.
"So, Your Hiring new Employees for your Companies, is that correct?" she replied back.
"That is Partially Correct Nadia, I'm also here to spend time with my family to and lets hope these New Seeds of Employment can bring Research and Development and in Fashion Designing for my Company to a Whole New Level of Ideas for the Future" he answers her "Now if you excuse me, since its been a Long Trip here, My car and family are waiting for me" as he made his way to the Black Limo sitting across from his plane and got in and headed to their Paris Estate.
"And there you have it Watchers, lets hope those new employees got what it takes to be an Employee at these 2 Companies, I am Nadia Chamuck and hope you have a Wonderful Night" she said.
-End of Flaskback-
"I know you have what it takes to be a PAWSOME Designer Marinette, you'll get that Job with them for sure" Adrien says to her.
"Thanks Kitty, but are you sure that I'll get the job with them?" she answers back.
"I know so Bugaboo" as he gets up from bed and walks over to his walk-in closet and brings out 2 boxes 1 medium size box and 1 small flat size box with him to the bed and continues talking "And how do I know" as he opens the medium size box and pulls out a black hat "Because of this M'lady" as he finishes.
Marinette gasps as she looks at the hat and realizes it was the same hat she made back in School for the Design Contest that Gabriel Agreste held when she was 14 years old and still going GA GA over Adrien like a crazy school girl, in fact she was a crazy school girl and said "Oh Kitty, you still have it after all this time?" as she looked at him with smile on her face.
"Of course I do, its one of my most precious treasures and one of my most fondest memories of you M'lady and also this to" as he opened the small flat box and pulls out a white scarf from it "And this is my second most precious treasure" he finishes up with and Marinette gasped at the sight of the scarf.
"Recognize it M'lady, its the Scarf you made for me for my Birthday when I turned 14" he said
"Wait, you knew that I made the scarf for you, When? How?" she replied back.
"3 years ago, after I sold Gabriel Fashions and moved out of the Mansion into my first Apartment" he started off with "I started off with these very same boxes when I moved and reopened them when I got to my Apartment and saw the name on the hat and remembered your smiling face from the Fashion Show back then and when I saw the name on the hat and it got me thinking and I opened the flat box and took out the scarf and examined it till I found the letters of MDC on it and knew that the scarf actually came from you and not my father and knew my father never really cared about me at all, I was just a tool to benefit his company or as one of his sick minded plans as Shadow Moth" as he says it with such anger, as Marinette crawls to him to give him a hug and says "I'm so sorry my kitty" she says to him, while being watched by their kwamis as they floated over to their owners and gave them supporting hugs to.
As Adrien feels a little better from the hug that was given to him by Marinette and the red and black kwamis, he continued what he was saying about the job interview for DaySonics Fashions the day after Tomorrow "As I was saying, this is the proof that you need in order to get that job at DaySonics" he says to his Lady as he puts both the hat and the scarf back into their boxes and puts them back into his walk-in closet and when he comes out of the closet, he notices something odd on the floor in front of the entrance to the closet and it was a strapped sleeping shirt and next a pair of pink sleeping pants and after that a black thong, all forming a trail leading up to the bed as he looked on the bed, he sees Marinette with nothing but a bed sheet over her tiny frame with only her naked leg showing, bent at the knee as Adrien gets on the bed and crawls over to her and kisses her passionately on the lips as he proceeds to remove his own sleepwear and makes passionate love to her.
-Next Morning-
As the sun rose and its fresh illuminating light shines through the windows of the Master Bedroom on to Adrien's face, his reaction to the sunlight was normal, as he opens his emerald green eyes to the bright sun and turns his whole body to see a still naked Marinette sleeping next to him, as he places his right arm around her waist and starts kissing the back of her her neck, in which stirs Marinette from her slumber, as she turns to face her now awaken Prince and says "Good Morning my handsome Prince" with a smile on her face and he replies back "Good Morning my Beautiful Princess" with a smile on his face to.
As Marinette still feeling groggy from sleep, she tries to get out of bed, but Adrien grabs her hand and pulls her back down on to the bed and wraps his arm around her waist and says "Where do you think your going M'lady?" with a sleepish smile on his face.
"Going to make some coffee?" she said to him.
"No coffee, lets just stay in bed like this Forever" he replied back to her
"Mmm, that would be so nice you lazy alley cat" she said to him and continues "but I still got stuff to do before my Interview at DaySonics Tomorrow" she finished up with, as he groned with a disappointment at hearing that and got up from bed and went to put on the sleepwear he had put on from last night before they had sex.
As they went downstairs to make up some coffee, they heard the TV going and saw the Kwamis watching a little bit of the Morning News and saw the weather for today showing it to be up in the high 60s with clear skies for today.
"Hmpfh, it looks like its going to be nice weather today" Marinette says to Adrien as she was making coffee and Adrien was sitting at the kitchen table listening to what she was saying and heard on the tv.
"Yeah, definitely a nice day for a stroll or a nice rooftop stroll" he replied back to his lady.
"A Night time stroll maybe, but not during the day" as she said to him and continued "I got to much to do for this interview tomorrow" as Adrien gave a sad look while looking down.
"Oh don't look so sad there kitty, once I get these things done, we'll have some fun playing Cat Noir and Ladybug, okay" as Adrien perked up when he heard that.
After Marinette has completed her tasks of getting everything she needed for her Interview at DaySonics Fashions, it was 8pm at Night and as promised, both Ladybug and Cat Noir were jumping from rooftop to rooftop enjoying the night as the 2 Heroes/Lovebirds land on top of the Eiffel Tower as Ladybug looked out towards Paris and Cat Noir walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Are you ready for this Interview M'lady?" he asked his lovebug.
"As ready as I ever be" she replied back and continued "But I am just a 'TINY' bit nervous".
"That's normal for 'ANY' job interview M'lady" he said with a comforting voice "Nervousness comes with the terrirtory".
"I know, but what if I messed this up, I could ruin any chances to be a Famous Fashion Designer" she says.
"You got this Marinette, Eric or his wife Alexis isn't the type person or people to just throw away talent like yours or anyone for that matter, they treat their employees and new interns like family at his company" he said to her.
"You met Eric during the selling of your father's company? What was he like back then?" she asked her Lover/Fiance/Partner/Best Friend.
"He's actually a very nice person when I met him" he answered her and continued "During the Selling talks, I had my Aunt there with me for not only as support, but also as a representative of the Board of Directors of Gabriel Fashions, as you well know, she was a Secret Board Member of the Company and Eric is a good friend of hers".
"What was his wife like?" she asked him.
"She's also a nice person to, in-fact she kind of reminds me of my mother at times" he said "She runs the Fashion part of the company as Head Designer for all Branches of Eric's Empire, of course he also has Auxiliary Head Designers for each of his Branches but Alexis is the Main Head Designer, but Eric owns the DaySonics Fashions Company, in-fact from what he has told me, it wasn't originally called DaySonics back then, it was originally called Alexis Designs and when Eric bought the company he turned it into something MORE, in fact I think that's how they first met, they were still both young like we are now, she was just a newbie in designing to and when Eric came along, they fell in love and made it 1 of the BIGGEST Fashion competitions ever imagine, not even my own father messed with them because of how DaySonics was connected to a High Power Tech Company in America, but he didn't know it was connected to DayTronics Enterprises, so if my father ever messed with anything connected to Eric Dayton's Company, my father would have ended up losing everything before he can even say 'Fly away my Little Akuma'" he finished off with as Ladybug gave a little giggle in response to what Cat Noir said about his father and said.
"So? He's the friendly boss type, that's good" she said to him "That would ease the nerves a little bit" she finished off with.
"Yeah, but he can also be a bit of a Hardcore type person to" he said to her and continued "In-fact Natalie once told me that Eric actually embarrassed my father once years ago, it was 6 maybe 7 months after my mom's 'Disappearance', my father gotten word of a new Fashion Company raising up the Fashion Ladder and he wanted to stop it before Gabriel Fashions was knocked off the Top Dog List and wanted info on it and soon realized he dug to deeply" and she said "So what happened?" and he continued "Well, Eric was sitting in my father's office at the Central Office of Gabriel Fashions waiting for him to come in and they talked and soon my father stopped talking when Natalie told me that day that DaySonics was owned by DayTronics Enterprises and warned him to stop what he was doing or it would be the end of him and his Company".
"(Whistles) WOW, your right he is Hardcore" she replied back.
Meanwhile on a far distance rooftop of the next tallest building in Paris, stands a strange figure dress all in black from head to toe with a cape that BARELY touches the ground and a mask that completely covers his entire head, while looking through a pair of High Tech Binoculars straight at the top of the Eiffel Tower watching Paris's Heroes standing there while looking at the view of Paris's Night Life and he just smiles and thinks to himself 'Ah, Young Love' as he continues to observes the 2 heroes, before putting away the binoculars and leaping off the building straight down and using his cape to slow down his descent and using a grappling cable to lower himself the rest of the way down and landing near a large black vehicle protected in a metal armored cocoon as he approaches the armored vehicle, the armored vehicle detected its masters approach and lowers the metal shielding to let its master into the vehicle and closes the canopy over him as he powers up the large black vehicle's turbine engine and blasts its way out of the alleyway and into the streets of Paris making his way home for the night because the strange figure also has a busy day tomorrow.
-2 Days Ago at Paris International Airport-
"Don't Be Amused, Its just the News with Nadja Chamack here at Paris International Airport with this Breaking News Report as we recieve word about the Famous Business Tycoon from America, Eric Dayton President and CEO of DayTronics Enterprises and owner of DaySonics Fashions has just arrived in Paris today on his Private Jet with his wife and 2 kids" as Nadia said "And there he is, the famous Tycoon himself Eric Dayton with his family getting off his Plane as we speak. Let's see if we can get him to answer some Questions" as she paused for a bit and continues the conversation "Mr. Dayton, Mr. Dayton, Mind if we ask you some Questions?" she asked him.
"Ah Nadja, Its always a pleasure to answer one of your Questions" he said to her.
"So What Brings You to Paris? Some Big Event that were not aware of?" she asked him.
"Nothing of the sort Nadja, its just a simple Employee Hiring/Family Vacation sort of thing" he answered back.
"So, Your Hiring new Employees for your Companies, is that correct?" she replied back.
"That is Partially Correct Nadja, I'm also here to spend time with my family to and lets hope these New Seeds of Employment can bring Research and Development and in Fashion Designing for my Company to a Whole New Level of Ideas for the Future" he answers her "Now if you excuse me, since its been a Long Trip here, My car and family are waiting for me" as he made his way to the Black Limo sitting across from his plane and got in and headed to their Paris Estate.
While in the Limo with his family, his wife was sitting right next to him with their fingers intertwined with each other and their children sitting across from them asleep after a long flight to Paris, they talked in a low voice so they wouldn't wake the children.
"So? Are you going to make an appearance to them and tell them what happened?" she said while sitting next to her husband.
"Not yet, if I had to guess and I'm usually right about my information is that they would receive word soon about what happened that day" Eric said to his wife while still holding her hand and continues what he is saying "But I will keep an eye on them in till they do" he finished with.
"They need to know soon Eric" said a tiny voice coming from Eric's jacket pocket.
"Patience my old friend, if I just show up in front of them, their going to assume I'm an enemy, even though my skills in hand to hand combat and weapon combat are far superior to theirs, I don't want to fight them unless I have to" he said.
"You always have a way with words don't you" his wife said.
"I always do" he replied back to her as they arrive at the Dayton's Paris Estate and the Limo parks at the front door as the elder driver gets out and opens the Limo door as Eric and Alexis takes their children through the front door and up the stairs to put them to bed.
After Eric and his wife puts their children to bed, he makes his way to the study on the main floor and proceeds to walk to a suit of armor and twists the spear in the suit of armor's hand to the right in which opens a small center column in the bookshelf and he enters the column and the column closes in front of him as he drops down through a small shoot and exits to a place that only 2 trusted people know about it and with very little lighting and activates a special computer that is on its own personal server and 'VERY' isolated from the rest of the computer based world of today and sits down in a big chair and starts working on this computer while a tiny black creature with red eyes comes out of his pocket in the form of a Kwami and says.
"You know how I hate it when you go down that shoot without warning me first" says the Kwami.
"Then why haven't you left my pocket like you always do when going down the tube" as Eric laughs a bit at the his Kwami friend.
"I was taking a nap" as the grumpy Kwami says to his owner and continues "So? Are we heading out tonight?".
"Soon, Just updating the resident info here on the computer of our targets" he said to his tiny friend and once he was done he got up from the chair and calls for his transformation "Sunarr, Bring the Night" as Sunarr was absorbed into a large oval shaped object on Eric's chest turning it black and forming wings on the sides of the oval shaped object, transforming Eric into his Superhero persona and after the transformation was completed, he headed over to an area where a large black car sat on a turn table and got into it and powered it up and blasted out of the hidden door on the side of a cliff edge and drove through a long dark road way that was abandoned and long forgotten a long time ago and surrounded by trees on both sides of the road as the black vehicle roars its way to the City of Love.
-The Next Day, Marinette's Interview Day-
As Marinette was getting ready for her 1pm Interview Appointment over at DaySonics Fashions by showering, shaving, and brushing her teeth and since she already picked out her outfit for her interview yesterday, she hopes she is ready for this 'BIG' event, she made sure that her Portfolio was ready to be looked at by Alexis, she even took photos of the hat she made when Gabriel Agreste had that contest at her school as a back-up just incase.
"I hope I'm ready for this" she says.
"You got this Bugaboo, For sure" Adrien replied back to her and took a sip of his morning coffee while reading the moring paper.
"Cat Noir is right Ladybug. You got this Interview in the Bag" Tikki says giving her Holder comforting words.
"Thanks Tikki" she says to her red little friend.
"I still don't know much about fashion, even though I been living with an Ex-Fashion Model for 7 years, but I'll says this, you are a Brand New Cheese that is ready for ripening and ready to be served" Plagg says to the Guardian.
"Thanks Plagg, I think?" she says to the black Kwami.
"You and your cheese Stinky Sock" Tikki says to her black counterpart.
"What can I say, I love my Cheese Sugercube" Plagg replies back to his red counterpart.
As both Adrien and Marinette headed down to the Parking Garage to their car so Adrien can drive her to her interview at the DayTronics/DaySonics Paris Branch Building since he knows where it is since it was based in the old Gabriel Fashions Central Office Building, they headed out of the Garage to the location.
As they arrive at the location, Adrien gave some last words of encouragement to his Fiance "You got this M'lady, I know you do" he said to her.
"Thanks" as she turns around and says "Well, Let's get this over with" after she closes the car door, Adrien rolls down the window and says "I'll pick you up when the interview is over with" as she lets him know with a nod and heads on in to the building.
As Marinette opens the door to enter, someone comes out of the other door as she recognizes her good friend Max Kante and is surprised to see him.
"Max?" she says to him.
"Marinette, I didn't recognize you! What brings you here to DayTronics?" he says to her.
"I have a Job Interview with Alexis Dayton, Head Designer of DaySonics" she replies back and then says "What brings you here?".
"The same thing, but for the Tech portion of the company and I been hired on the spot" Max says.
"Congratulations Max, I knew that you would hit the big leagues with this company" she says to him "Especially with Markov when you showed us him all those years ago back in school and speaking of Markov, is he with you?"
"He's right here in my bag, I wanted to show Mr. Dayton of my achievement in Robotics and A.I. Research and he was quite impressed" he says to his friend.
"Hello Marinette, its always a pleasure to see one of Max's friends again" as Markov pops his head out of Max's bag.
"Your my friend to Markov, don't forget that" she says to the Tiny Robot and continues "Well, I better get going Max, I don't want to be late or keep them waiting" as she gives her smart friend a peck on the cheek "Good Luck Marinette" Max says to his bluenette friend as she heads on in to the elevator.
As Marinette makes her way to the level where her interview is being held, she makes one last check on everything, since she was the only on the elevator, as her Kwami pops her head out from Marinette's purse when she noticed the fidgeting and says.
"Breath Marinette, you got this" the red Kwami says to her.
"I know I do Tikki, just making sure that I have everything" she says to the tiny creature.
"You got everything Marinette, we made sure you did before we left the Penthouse" she says to her owner.
As she reaches the level where her interview is going to be, she makes her way to the main office and reaches the desk that was covered in letters and flowers saying 'Happy Retirement' at the of the hall where a pair of doors lay wait, she lets the person sitting their, an elderly woman by the looks of it know that she has a 1:00 appointment.
"Hi, my name is Marinette Dupain-Chang, I have a 1pm Appointment with Alexis Dayton" she says to the elderly woman.
"Ah, you mean Mr. Dayton" the elderly woman says to her and continues "Eric Dayton does all of the Interviews for both sides of the Company".
"What! Really, I thought Alexis Dayton does the Fashion part of the Interviews?" Marinette says with a shocked look on her face.
"Alexis only does the Observation Interviews to see what your skills are like and if she likes them or not, Mr. Dayton does the Main Job Interviews, it gives him a chance to get to know you and don't worry dear, he is a good judge of character and so is his wife" she says to Marinette, "Have a seat and I'll let Mr. Dayton know your here" she finishes off with as she speaks into the headset letting Mr. Dayton know of his 1pm appointment.
"You can go in now dear" as the elderly secretary says to her.
Marinette gets up her chair and enters through the expansive oak doors and enters of the head boss of the entire company.
"Welcome Marinette, glad you could make it" Eric says as he got up from his large desk chair behind his fancy desk and takes Marinette's hand shakes it lightly and says "Have a seat" as they both sit down in the comfy chairs.
"Excuse me while I pull up your Resume and Application" he says to her and continues "Ah! Their we go, Now tell me a little about yourself" he finished off with.
"Well, ever since I was 8 years old, I wanted to be a Fashion Designer and over the years I studied all the works of other designers leading all the way up to Ex-designer Gabriel Agreste before his arrest and imprisonment, I even won a designer contest he held at my school when I was just 14 years old" she said to him.
"Yes, I heard and read about that contest from our records after we bought Gabriel Fashions from his son Adrien Agreste, who I understand that you are currently involved with am I correct?" he said to her in which caught he off guard and said "How?".
"Don't worry Marinette, its not what you think, remember his Aunt and I are good friends" he said to her to clam her down.
"Now, Can I see your portfolio?" he says as she hands it to him and opens it to see all he designs she has and says "Very Nice, very nice indeed" as he goes through it like he's reading a book and sees an image of the bowler hat she made when she was 14 and is convinced that the interview is done and says to her "Well, I'm convinced, Welcome to DaySonics Fashions Ms. Dupain-Chang".
"What! Really?" she says.
"Did I mumble or something? Yes Ms. Dupain-Chang, you got the First of 3 DaySonics Intern Designer Jobs that my Fashion company is offering" he said to her.
"Ah, Thank You, Thank you so much" she replied back to him.
"I'm glad your happy Marinette" he says and continues "Now, this will be a paid Intern job".
'Wait? you pay all your Interns?" she says.
"Yup" he answered back "While as an starting Intern, you'll be paid the amount of $40.00 an hour during you entire Internship here and once your term as Intern is complete, you'll start being paid the normal monthly salary of $400.00".
"Thank you Mr. Dayton" she says with so much joy in her voice, "So when do I start?".
"Well, we have to wait in till your files are fully processed into our Mainframe, including a drug test which is mandatory in this kind of company, but we'll call you in to do that with one of our Drug Specialists here at the Company, so I should say about a month from today everything should be completed" he mentions to her just as his wife comes in through a doorway in Eric's office and says "Oh! I see your with a new interviewie?" as she comes to shake her hand and introduces herself to Marinette "Alexis Dayton, Eric's wife" she says to Marinette.
"A...A...Its a feel doner...I mean real foner... A real honor Mrs. Dayton, I'm Marinette Dupeng-Chang" as she accepts the her hand and says "I'm a Big Van...I mean Fan...I'm really Big Fan of your work" she finishes off with.
"Really now, Well I'm a big fan of your work to Marinette" Alexis replies to her.
"Really? But how is that possible?" she says with a shock in her voice.
"Remember, We appropriated Gabriel Fashions and the files mention's your name as a Contest Winner for the Bowler Hat, a hat that Adrien Agreste wore during a Fashion Show before that whole Style Queen fiasco" she mentions to her and continues talking "And I have to say that old Botox user Audrey Bourgeois had it coming to her. That woman is a one big walking anger management issue with an IQ of a barking Chihuahua" as Marinette snorts at this comment.
"So you agree with me then on who Audrey Bourgeois is like?" she says to Marinette.
"Oh I can agree with you on that, I went to school with both of her daughters Chloe Bourgeois and Zoe Lee when Zoe moved to Paris and Chloe is like a mini version of her mother" Marinette answers her back.
"Oh Zoe, such a sweet sweet girl, I don't know how that sweet girl could ever be related to that Wicked Witch of Botox Audrey Bourgeois and that poor husband of hers Andre, all he wanted to do was to be a Film Director, in till that old bat got into his head" she says and continues "You know Marinette, you and I are going to be great friends when you start working here" and when Marinette heard this, she ends up saying.
"Wait a minute?" as Marinette looks towards Eric "You were planning on giving me the job before we even had this interview?".
"Guilty as Charged" as Eric admitted to Marinette.
"So that means I'll see in you a month Mr. and Mrs. Dayton" Marinette said to her as she gathers her things and starts heading towards the main office door.
"Please call me Alexis" she replied back to her new intern as she watches Marinette walk out the door.
"So she's the Holder of the Ladybug Miraculous?" Alexis talks to the only person in the room.
"That's her alright, Holder of 1 out of 2 of the Most Powerful Miraculous ever known, while Adrien is the Holder of the Black Cat" Eric says to his wife.
"And yet she is also the Guardian of the Master Box, the Mother of all Miracle Boxes" Alexis replies back to her husband and continues her talking "I have to say, she holds it together pretty well for someone so young".
"She didn't at first, back when she was 13, when she first became Ladybug, she almost gave up being Ladybug when she first fought Stoneheart and then when she turned 14 she was starting to get the hang of things thanks to her Partner Cat Noir, But then the whole Miracle Queen debacle happened and Master Fu passed on the Guardian Duties to her before she was truly ready at the cost of his memories and 5 of the identities of Paris's Heroes were compromised and Hawkmoth already knew 2 of the heroes identities, well 1 actually Ryuko, Chloe was only trying to get her mother to acknowledge her, she wasn't even suppose to have the Miraculous of the Bee, she only gotten it by accident after the whole Style Queen fiasco" he said to his wife.
"And how do you know that she almost quit being Ladybug?" she replied back to him.
"I can tell by looking at her and from what I read on the Ladyblog and besides, she was still only 13 years old when she became Ladybug, that kind of stuff puts a lot on a young girl's mind, young girls like her should be going on dates, talking about boys and sex, and getting their nails done and going to prom, not jumping around an entire city in red spandex and saving the city from evil" he finished off with.
"Says the man who dresses up like a Giant Bat" smirks at her husband.
"Look whos talking Tweety Bird" as he comes back at her with her nickname for her.
"Actually, I was a Finch" she replies back at him.
A buzz came through his desk intercom letting Eric know that his 2pm appointment has arrived.
As he looked at the clock on his computer screen, it said 1:35pm and he "Hmm, she's early?"
"Who's your 2pm appointment" his wife asked.
"Natalie Sancour" he answered back.
"Gabriel Agreste's former Assistant/Secretary and the former Mayura?" she said with a slight shock and continues talking "And what position is she applying for may I ask?" she finishes off with.
"Melinda's position, you do know she is retiring in 3 days right?" he said to her.
"Oh, I completely forgot about that, but why her" she asked.
"Alexis, you know that people deserve a second chance at life and she did help Ladybug and Cat Noir take down her former Boss" he said to his wife "Okay, I let you do your job then" she said an headed over to the office doors.
"Melinda, you can send Miss Sancour in now" as he paged Melinda.
As the Oak door opened up and Natalie came through them she thought to herself, even though it has been remodeled, it still felt familiar and weird to be back in her old bosses office in the building that use to be the central office of the Gabriel Fashion Empire.
"Welcome Natalie" as Eric gets up from his chair to welcome her for coming and continues talking "Please have a seat" as they both sit down and got comforteble and began the interview.
"That should do it Natalie" he said to her as he sits back in his large chair and continues "Now Natalie, I must let you know that I am fully aware of your past dealings with your former employer as both Gabriel's Assistant and as Mayura, so I have to follow through with the regulations that the Judge has put on you. Meaning you will get this job no doubt about it because of your credentials as Gabriel's former assistant, but when it comes to you being formerly known as Mayura, even though you no longer have the Miraculous, you will still be monitored by a Security Guard with that small tracker on your ankle, but it can't be by someone you know, such as Mr. Gorilla because you were both employed by Gabriel Agreste, which means he is acquainted with you, but I would not stop you or him from having a chit chat or stuff like that okay" as he told her and she nodded her reply and continues talking "As for being Mayura, you may not know this, but you may have some Mayura fans working here".
Natalie went all wide eyed when she heard this news and asked him "But I thought that I would be ridiculed for being Mayura and associated with Hawkmoth?" she said to him.
"Don't get me wrong Ms. Sancour, I only said 'some' fans, but there are also other former employees from Gabriel Fashions working here to and they think that you put your feelings for Gabriel Agreste, for a man who was obsessed with bringing back his wife and is willing to use anyone and anything to get what he wants, no matter the cost, to me that spells Insanity for Gabriel Agreste and as for the fans, its probably due to how Beautiful you looked as Mayura and her costume design was used to give us the idea for dresses that are used for Flamingo Dancers or Salsa Dancers" he said to her and continues "Now do you have any Questions or say" he finished off with.
"I just want to say, I know I done terrible things as Mayura and when I mentioned what I said during my Trial about helping Ladybug and Cat Noir was the help I needed to realize that my former Employer was insane" she paused to take a sip of water and resumed talking "I thought the powers of the Miraculous of the Ladybug and Black Cat would require a sacrifice in order to keep the Balance and Mr. Agreste would greatly sacrifice himself in order to bring back his wife and I would do the same for him to, but I didn't realize that it would virtually destroy the entire universe to do it, I thought it would be like a simple surgical procedure, but he lied to me and it cost a lot of people to have some kind of nervous breakdowns do to being Akumatized by my former Employer and I want to do whatever I can to make amends for what I had done as Mayura" she finished off with.
"Well, for what you just said Natalie, I think your on the right path, but as for your insane former Boss. Doctors use a scalpel to remove a growth on someone's foot. Your Boss's way was like using a Bazooka to remove that growth on their foot and soon realize their missing a foot and the leg that came with it" he said to her and continued "Now, on you Application, it says your taking some Special Medicine for your condition due to the broken Peacock Miraculous?" and she nodded.
"Do you have a list of those Ingredients for the Medicine?" he asks her.
"Yes, Yes I do" she answers back "But Why?".
"We have an Apothecary Research Division here at DayTronics Enterprises that has ALL of the necessary ingredients for such things" he says to her.
"May I ask Mr. Dayton, Why do you have such a Division anyways?" she asked him.
"Well Natalie, I believe in order to find cures for Diseases and Illnesses and any other such issues that we need go back to our Roots, pardon the pun, or in other words the Basics to find what we need to help people around the world and you don't have to be in spandex or have a Miraculous in order to do that" he answered her and continued what he was saying "And when the Medicine is made, the payment amount will be taken out of your paychecks automatically when you get paid.
-After Marinette's Interview-
After her job interview with Eric Dayton, Marinette headed out the Oak doors and as she walked over to the elevators, she saw someone familiar sitting in a chair waiting and she soon realize that it was Natalie Sancour, Gabriel Agreste's former assistant and walks over to her.
"Hello Natalie" Marinette said as Natalie looks up from reading her tablet.
"Marinette? I didn't know you here to, you must've had a job interview to" she said "Let me guess, Fashion Designer?" she finished off with.
"Yeah" she replied back to her.
"I'm sorry Marinette, I know I can come off on people at times as being harsh, I'm just a little nervous for my Interview for the Secretary position" she said to her.
"Not at all, you should have seen me before my interview today" Marinette said as trying to help Natalie out of her nervousness.
With a small smile on her face, she ended up saying "Thank you Marinette, that helped a little".
"Your Welcome Natalie" she says to her as she got up to head to the elevator and then says "Adrien still thinks of you as a second Mother figure to him and when he found out that you were Mayura, it hurt him deeply, but he still forgave you when you said what you said at yours and Gabriel's Trial, about helping Ladybug and Cat Noir by giving them that information to help them stop Shadow Moth".
"Adrien is right about you Marinette, You do have a way to cheer people up, Thank you" she said as Marinette started walking away "And Marinette" as she turned around to face her again and said "Congratulations on your Engagement" she said it with a slight smile on her face and Marinette said "Thank you" as she turns back around to continue walking to the elevator doors.
"Ms. Sancour, you can go in now" as the elderly woman said to her.
While alone in the elevator, Tikki now has the chance to congratulate Marinette for getting her Dream Job.
"Congratulations Marinette!, I knew you could do it" Tikki said to her from the safety of her purse.
"Thanks Tikki and come to think of it, I never thought that I would be hired before I was even hired" she said to her tiny red friend "And I was able to meet Alexis Dayton, the Head Designer of all Head Designers" Marinette finished off with.
"Well that goes to show you how talented you really are, they hired you on the spot before they even met you face to face" Tikki said.
As Marinette exited out of the elevator and exited through the main entrance way, she spotted Adrien's car with him standing out of it waiting for her and heads on over to him and Adrien spots her and waves at her and says "Well?, How did it go?".
"Well, you'll be happy to know that everything you said about him and her were correct" she told him.
"So, am I to guess, that you met Alexis then?" Adrien said.
"Yup and to tell you that I got the job" she says to him.
"You DID, OH Marinette, That's Great News" as he hugs her and lifts her up and spins her around and then kisses her on the lips "SEE, I knew you'll get it" he said to her and continues "So? When do you Start?" he asks as they got into the car and headed home.
"A Month from Today" she answers back.
"That is so PAWSOME Bugaboo, We need to Celebrate" he said and continues "We should invite everybody over for Dinner one night. Didn't your parents say they were anxious to see the Penthouse?" he finishes off with.
"Yeah, We can make that 4 Meat/4 Cheese Lasagna that I suggested that is in your mother's recipe box, combined with a salad and some Famous Dupeng-Chang Bread, it would be a dinner to remember" she replied back.
"So? When do you want to have this get together?" Adrien asks as he was driving back to the penthouse.
"The day after tomorrow, so that way we can go the grocery store to get the stuff we need for dinner" Marinette answers him.
As they pull up the their building, Adrien punches in the code for the garage and they drove and found a spot to park and headed up to the Penthouse to spend the rest of the day relaxing and by doing that, they started up the Jacuzzi and got changed in their bathing suits and got some Wine and wine glasses and something to snack on in till dinner and got comfy in the jacuzzi, perhaps a little to comfy as Marientte sexually straddles Adrien's lap and starts kissing him passionately.
As for Adrien, all of his brain cells flowed straight to his cock as it started to blow up like a balloon, hitting Marinette's crotch without an invitation.
"Is that your Cataclysm kitty or are you just happy see my Lucky Charm" she giggles at him as he kisses her on the lips and says "Both".
As Adrien continues to kiss her, he starts moving his lips down her neck all the way down to her breast cavity and moves to what exposed area of her tits that he could see and grabs the the string holding it in place like a kitten playing with a string toy and pulls the string in till it comes undone and he sees her petite tits in view and starts licking her nipples as Marinette feels the electricity running up and down her spine and lets out a small wine and he unties the rest of her bikini top and removes it and tosses it somewhere as Adrien continues his advances on her body as he lifts her up and places her on the edge of the Jacuzzi and starts going lower to stomach region in till he reaches her bikini bottoms and turns her around and grabs both tie strings on both sides of her hips and slowly pulls them lose in till her bottom falls off and her clean shaven pussy is exposed to him and he begins to assault her kitty with his famous kitty licks in which causes Marinette to start squirming and moaning.
"Mmmm Kitty, I love it then you lick my kitty" Marinette says to her kitty with a slight moan to it.
"Just call me Cunt Noir" Adrien said to her as she tries to hold back a laugh at what he just said to her but fails, as Adrien continues to assault her with his licking to make sure she keeps on ticking as he finds her pussy nipple and starts teasing it with such gusto Marinette would have died of a stroke.
"AWW GOD KITTY, NOT THAT, NO, OOOOOHHHH MYYYYYYY GAWWWWWDD, FUCK MEEEEEEEEEEE" she said it without realizing it what she just said after she just orgasmed.
"It would be my PURRLEASURE M'lady" he said as he pulls his own bathing suit down and starts lining his cataclysm thick dick at Marinette's pussy and starts to enter her.
"Oww gawd chitty, I'm snot weady fppport tee bee chataclimpism wit hat ting ust bet" as Marinette was trying to say to her kitty (Oh god kitty, I'm not ready for to be cataclysmed with that thing just yet) but it was to late as he enters her pussy.
"OWW ME GAWD, I TINK I'M DHING" is all Marinette could say now as Adrien starts moving in and out of her tight pussy.
"Oh Marinette, you are so fucking tight" as he continues to plunge his rod into his lady as he starts feeling the pressure build in his balls as he continues to fuck her in till he couldn't fuck no more as he plunges his dick into her one last time and releases his Cataclysm Cum into Marinette's pussy and disintegrates her pussy in a massive wave of a destructive orgasm turning Marinette into a lump of mush and cum oozing out of her pussy.
As Marinette tried to move her arms to get her to sit up, her arms slightly gave out on her as she tried to form clear words again after 2 explosive orgasms she just had "look...what... you did to me...you silly cat!" she managed to say as she tried to sit up again after regaining some feeling in her arms, but her legs were another story as she tried to stand and lost and almost fell back down on to the ground or fell into the jacuzzi, but her horny kitty managed to grab her before that happened.
"So I'm guessing you enjoyed what I did to you" Adrien said to his lady.
"Did you not see my corpse lying there after 2 orgasms" she said to the mangy cat.
"Corpse? What Corpse? All I saw was a beautiful living breathing woman that was enjoying the bliss of an orgasm and hot jacuzzi sex" he said to her as he kisses her neck gaining a moan of reply from Marinette.
"Your lucky I love you or else I would have left you hanging out to dry kitty" as she gave her mangy ally cat a kiss on the lips.
After a blissful moment of sex, the 2 of them went upstairs to take some showers, by themselves of course because Marinette was still trying to regain her senses from the 2 orgasms she just had not to long ago and after her shower and getting dressed into her comfy clothes, she went over to pick up her phone on her nightstand and pulled up Alya's number and called her bestie.
As the phone ranged, she finally picked it up and answered.
"Hey Bestie! What's up?" she said to her.
"Nothing much, just relaxing before me a Adrien start dinner and speaking of dinner" she said to Alya and continued "Me and Adrien were considering having you, Nino, and my parents over for Dinner the day after tomorrow over here at the Penthouse, would you be up for it?".
"Wouldn't I, Girl we would love to come over for dinner that day, I'm working the morning shift anyways and Nino gets off from work at the Studio early that day, what time should we come on over and do you want us to bring anything?" she said
"Around 7pm and you don't have to bring anything, I'm pretty sure my Papa would take care of most of it anyways, were gonna be having a 4 Meat/4 Cheese Lasagna a recipe that Adrien's mother made herself with a Salad and some wine" Marinette said to her.
"That sounds Great Marinette, see you then" Alya says as she continues talking "Oh by the way, Did you have your job interview at DaySonics?" she finished off with.
"Maybe?" she said to her bestie.
"Oh Marinette, you got the Job" she says almost practically screaming in Marinette's ear.
"You know Alya, you scare me at times when you do that" she says to her friend.
"Sorry Girl, but the only reason why you would try to hide the subject with the word 'Maybe' is if you got the job on the spot or you didn't and it also helps to have a friend in high places by the name of Max Kante, he saw you there at the Paris Branch Office and he told me" Alya said.
"Well it wasn't a matter of the interview, in-fact, they hired me on the spot before I even had the interview" she said to Alya and replied back "Really?" she said.
"Yeah, they told me that after they appropriated Gabriel Fashions, they went through all of there archives and noticed that I had won the Design Contest with the browler hat that Gabriel Agreste held when we were still in school and get this Adrien still has the hat after all these years, including the scarf that I made for his birthday and told me he knew I was the one who made it" she said .
"Really, How did he figure that out?" Alya said.
"It was 3 years ago, after he moved out of the Mansion, he was caring the boxes that they were in into his new place and opened them there and saw my name on the hat and remembered the first time he wore it during that Fashion Show before the whole Style Queen fiasco and it got him wondering about something, so he opened the other box and carefully examined the scarf and spotted my initials of MDC on it and that's how he was able to figure it out that I was the one who made it and not his jerk of a father and it only made him love me even more and prove to him that his father only care about himself" she said.
"OOO, that man, if he weren't in prison right now, I would break him out just to throw him back in" she said to Marinette.
"I know, I can't believe I ever admired the bastard, he treated my sweet Adrien as nothing more then a commodity for his damn company and not paying attention to him and giving him the love that he needed and paid more attention to trying to bring back his wife from by using our Miraculous to do it" she said "Well, I better let you go so I could call my parents and let them know of the Dinner plans we made" she finished off with.
"Alright Girl, See you then okay" Alya said.
"Talk to you later Als" as they both hung up and soon Marinette was calling the Bakery when she heard her mother picking up the phone.
"Dupain-Chang Bakery" Sabine answered.
"Hey Mama" Marinette said.
"Oh Marinette, I was wondering when your going to call" Sabine said to her daughter "Is that Marinette" as she hears her Papa talking through the phone.
"Oh Mama, you know I call you all the time" she said to her.
"I know, I was just teasing you dear, so how Adrien?" she replied.
"He's Great as always" Marinette said to her mother.
"I bet" teased her mother again.
When Marinette heard this, she went all red and Tikki just giggled from what she heard over the phone and Marinette said "MOM" and she heard laughter over the phone.
"Now the reason why I called is I know you guys are anxious to see the penthouse, so I was wondering if you guys would like to come over for dinner the day after tomorrow and see the place" she said to her mother.
"Let me ask your father" as she discusses Marinette's plans with him and returns to the phone "We would love to come over for dinner dear, Do you want use to bring anything dear?" she said to her.
"Just some fresh baked bread, were gonna be having Lasagna with a salad and Alya and Nino will joining us to and dinner would be at 7pm and you guys have the guest code for the parking garage right?" she said.
"Yep, we'll see you then honey, we love you" Sabine said to her daughter.
"We love you to" as she hanged up and went downstairs with Tikki to join the rest of them.
When Adrien saw the little sour look on Marinette's face, he asked her what was wrong and she replied.
"Its nothing, just a mother daughter teasing session, that's all" she said.
"Then I'm guessing you talked to your parents about dinner here the day after tomorrow?" he said to her as Marinette watches Adrien make them a light supper of a salad with some chicken strips and powder Parmesan cheese and small basket of rolls while checking to see that Plagg and Tikki and the other Kwamis are snacking on their own tray of snacks.
"Yup and also talked to Alya to and she and Nino are in, so were head on over to the grocery store tomorrow and pick up the ingredients for dinner" Marinette replied back as she sits at the kitchen table and Adrien brings the salad bowl over to the table with the basket of rolls and puts them next to a bottle of 'Cat Noir' Wine as they ate the delicious salad.
Not to far from their building on the rooftop of another tall building stands the man dress all in black observing what is going on in the building across from him as he says to himself "Soon Marinette, you'll be receiving word about what has happened in Tibet and it will be both you, your partner, and your entire team most toughest fight ever".
-The Next Day-
It was about 9am in the morning and both Marinette and Adrien were getting ready to head on over to the Grocery Store to get the stuff they need for their family dinner tomorrow, since Ayla and Nino were considered part of the family as much as Adrien is, Adrien was in the living room waiting for Marinette to come down the stairs.
"MARINETTE ARE YOU READY TO HEAD TO THE STORE TO GET THE STUFF?" as he yell up the stairs.
"JUST NEED TO GRAB MY PURSE AND PHONE AND I'LL BE RIGHT ON DOWN" she yelled back, "Ready Tikki?".
"Yep" she said as she flew into Marinette's purse and Marinette headed out of the bedroom door and down the stairs to meet with Adrien and they both headed out the Penthouse door to the elevator to take them down to the garage.
As they arrive at the Grocery Story and found a parking spot and headed into the store and grabbed a shopping cart and begun their shopping.
They got almost everything they needed except 1 more salad dressing and croutons.
"We forgot to grab the Croutons for the salad, wait here, I'll go get them" Marinette said to Adrien as he watches her leave to go get the forgotten item when all of a sudden Adrien hears a familiar voice behind him "Well if it isn't Adrien Agreste as I live and breath" and its not a voice he wanted to hear or the person he wanted to see EVER AGAIN and as he turns around and sees the person who he wants to drop STRAIGHT into a volcano with no 'Return to Sender' stamp on it, the person who caused more harm then Chloe Bourgeois ever did at her best, the Queen of Lies herself, Lila Rossi.
"Lila Rossi, What are you doing here? I thought I told to stay away from me and my friends" he said to her.
"You said that 3 years ago and last time I checked Adrien, Grocery Stores were for everybody" she replied back.
"Well, then I guess you better not make a scene here then" Adrien answered back to her.
"Touche'" she said as she slips her arm under Adrien's as he tries to remove his arm from hers, but she held on tightly to it as she hears a voice she hasn't heard since she was expelled from school "Get your Tentacles of him Right Now" as she turned around to see none other then Marinette Dupain-Chang.
"Well if it isn't my old friend Marinette Dupain-Chang" Lila said to her old Nemesis from school "And what brings you here to the Supermarket" she finished off with.
"First of all, We're not Friends Lila, Second, Get you hands off my Fiance" Mairnette said to the Queen Bitch of Lies.
"FIANCE" she said with a shocked look on her face as Adrien manages to get free from Klingon Number 2 and says "That's Correct Lila, Fiance and I am here doing grocery shopping with my Fiance" "Well, I guess congratulations are in order then" she finishes off with a bit of an angry look on her face.
"I rather be congratulated for our engagement by a Cobra trying to bite me then by you Lila Rossi" Marinette said to her as Adrien rejoins her with their shopping cart as they both continued onward with their shopping.
After they were out of sight, a tiny voice from her jacket pocket starts talking "It unwise to start something in here in such a public area Mistress?" the tiny voice asks her and Lila grabs her phone from her purse and types a message on her Notepad of her phone as if she was typing a text to someone and the message said.
'Don't patronize Kwami or else' she typed up and the little Kwami read the message and remained quite for the rest of the grocery trip.
-Back at the Penthouse-
After they finished getting the stuff they needed for their Dinner tomorrow, Marinette began putting the Lasagna together so that way it would be ready for tomorrow to be heated up in the oven for dinner, after she was done with it, she wrapped it up in Aluminum Foil and placed it in a sliding door cooler that is used for items that can't fit in the refrigerator and went over to the living room to sit with Adrien while he was watching television along with Tikki and Plagg and the rest of the Kwamis were playing a game of cards.
"I can't believe after 3 years of not seeing her, we ran into the 1 PERSON that I NEVER want to see again AT A GROCERY STORE no less, Lila Fucken Rossi, after 3 years she turns up again" Marinette said to Adrien.
"Yeah. After I fired her from Gabriel Fashions before I sold it to DaySonics, I allowed her to continue with her fashion career as long she doesn't come anywhere near me and my friends, but grocery stores are considered to be Neutral ground since everybody goes there" he said to his lady love.
"Why would you allow her to continue her Fashion Career anyways?" she said.
"Bugaboo, just because we exposed her lies back in School, doesn't mean I was going to Black List her name in the Fashion Community, so that's why I gave her the ultimatum of Continuing her Modeling Career but she has to stay the HELL AWAY from me and my Friends or be Black Listed from any Fashion Modeling Career, so she took to continuing her Career in Modeling" Adrien said.
"Its just that after all these years, she all of a sudden reappears again" she said to him while placing her head on Adrien's shoulder and placing her hand in his and continues watching the tube.
"Marinette, I love you and that's never going to change no matter what and besides, its not like we can control who goes where or what goes on at that place or anywhere for that matter" he said to her.
"I know kitty, its just that she irritates me so much, she nearly ruined my friendship with some of our friends" as she kisses him on the lips.
"I know Bugaboo, but we exposed her for her Lies and everybody on the team knows it now, so she can't turn everybody against us anymore, so its best to stop worrying about it and look forward" he said to her.
"Your right kitty, what's done it done and we can't change that so I'll drop the subject" she said to her lover.
-The Next Day, 30min. before Everyone shows Up-
As Marinette and Adrien get ready for everyone to show up for their Dinner plans, they both showered and shaved and dresses in some casual clothes with Marinette trying something different her hair, she tied in a bun and was wearing a dress like suit and Adrien looking all handsome was wearing a simple button down black dress shirt leaving the neck area unbuttoned and was wearing a small gold neckless and black pants.
"Okay, Do we have everything ready, Lasagna is ready to be cooked up, table is set, Kwamis are in the master bedroom with there own snacks and somethings to keep them occupied while my parents are here, a bottle of Cat Noir is in the Ice Bucket chilling, soft dinner music, we forgot soft dinner music" she said.
"Don't worry Bugaboo, I got it" Adrien said to her as he picked up the remote to the stereo system and turned on some soft music.
"Perfect, everything is ready" she said to him as she heard the doorbell ring and went over to see who it is and saw that it was Alya and Nino and she opens the door.
"Wow, your early?" Marinette said to her 2 friends.
"We wanted to come early so we can let these 2 get reacquainted with the others" Alya said to her bestie as 2 Kwamis 1 green and 1 orange floated out of Alya's purse and Nino jacket pocket.
"Its a pleasure to see you again Guardian" Wayzz said to her.
"Likewise Wayzz, Tikki, show them to where the Miracle Box is hidden" Marinette said to her Kwami
"Sure thing" she said as she lead Wayzz and Trixx to the location of the Miracle Box.
"Smells Great in here Marinette" Alya says as they were lead to the living room as Adrien takes their coats and hangs them up in the coat closet.
"(Whistles) Dude, this place is the bomb" Nino says to his 2 friends.
"Thanks Bro" Adrien says to his best friend.
"Yeah Sunshine, you really out did yourself here" Alya says to Adrien
"Thanks Alya" he says to Alya and continues "Care for a glass of Wine?" he asked the both of them.
"Not yet, I want to see this place first" Alya asks.
"Allow me to give you guys the Grand Tour" he said just as the doorbell rang and he "That must be Tom and Sabine, Let me go get that" as he left to go get the door.
"Tom, Sabine, Welcome" as he greeted them as Tom and Sabine enter through the doorway.
"Adrien, Thank you for having us" Sabine said to him as they walked over to the living room and saw Alya and Nino sitting on the couch.
"Mama Papa" as Marinette sees her parents walking in and walks over to greet them with hugs and kisses.
"My God, Adrien, this place is Amazing" Sabine says to Adrien and continues the chat "Alya Nino, always a pleasure to see you two".
"Hi Mrs. Dupain Mr. Dupain" they both said to them
"Impressive Son and the view is amazing" Tom said while looking out through the window.
"Thanks, we were about to give the Grand Tour when you guys just arrived" Adrien said to them.
"Well then Tour away then" Tom said to him.
As Adrien and Marinette showed them around the place, it was almost time for dinner.
"Oh Marinette, I almost forgot, this package arrived for you today, you must've forgotten to change your mailing address when you moved in with Adrien" Sabine said to her daughter as she went over to her bag and got out the package and gave it to her.
When Marinette took it from her, she noticed a small emblem on it and said to her mother "Thanks Mama, I'll open it later" she said to her as she puts the package down and went over to the oven to take out the Lasagna and put the rolls in a bread basket and sat down to eat.
As they were eating, they were talking about stuff and enjoying everyone's company.
After they all ate the wonderful dinner, they all enjoyed a dessert of Apple Pie and cookies from the Bakery.
Eventually things for them were starting to wine down a bit and it was time for Tom and Sabine to call it a night as they started to get ready to head out the door and gave everybody hugs and kiss goodbyes as they headed out the door.
After Tom and Sabine left, Alya starts talking.
"Alright Marinette, tell us what got you so concerned when your mother gave you that package, because when you got that package, I saw the look in your eyes when you saw it" she said.
"I'll tell you in a bit, but first I need to get the other Kwamis because this concerns them to" she said to her best friend as she went upstairs to let Tikki and Plagg know that she needs the Kwamis in on this to.
As everyone gathered and sat down in the living room, Marinette starts talking.
"Its a package from Master Su-Han" she said to them.
"Well, Are you going to open it?" Nino said.
As Marinette opened the package and lets the contents of it fall into her hand and realize it was a cell phone.
"A cell phone?" Nino said with a confused look on his face.
"This isn't good" Marinette said with a concerned look on her face and continued "Its the cell phone I gave to Su-Han and showed him how to use it incase he needed to get ahold of me or vice versa" she finished off with.
"It looks like it might need to be charged" Alya said as she plugged in a charger cord of it and turns it on and says "Hmm, their seems to be a video recording on it and a photo" as starts playing the video.
"Ladybug, I am making this recording to you in the alt most dire circumstances and hope it gets to you, The Temple of the Guardians is under attack by a Very Powerful Enemy, so by the time you receive this 'cell phone' you call it, I'll be most likely dead, I managed to get a brief glimpse of our attacker, he is wearing a white suit, has white hair, pale skin, and Ice Blue eyes, but if I'm not mistaken it almost looks like (wasn't able to hear it due to a loud explosion in the background of the recording), as a precaution, all of the other Guardians that control a Miracle Box has already passed it on to new Guardians and been sent to them by using special teleportation spells here at the Temple, I hope this device gets to you soon and the image of the attacker helps you to defeat it" and the recording ends.
"I can't believe it, the Guardians are gone" Marinette says as she sat down on the couch.
"Its gonna be okay, maybe once we defeat this enemy, you can use your Miraculous Ladybugs to restore everything, you did it once before when the Temple was gone" Alya said.
"Not this time Alya" Marinette said to her.
"What do you mean Bugaboo?" Adrien said.
"In the last letter I got from Master Su-Han after he returned to the Temple, he mentions something about making changes that the Grandmaster of the Guardians was implementing to make sure that if the Guardians of the Miraculous were to fall again, they stay fallen to make sure that their secrets were never to be used against them or used in an all out war against Nations, so let me put this in words that Su-Han said or Master Fu would put it 'In order for Children to Grow, They must Learn to fend for Themselves' in other words, if I use my Miraculous Ladybugs to restore everything that has happened, it would not restore the Guardians like last time, meaning they are gone for good" she said.
Meanwhile sitting at his computer in the cave, Eric was listening in on the conversation that Marinette just said to Adrien, Alya, and Nino, by using small remote drones called bat drones and said to himself "So, she has finally received word on what has happened to the Order of the Guardians" as he presses a button on the console for the bat drone to go into hyber-nation mode as he sat back on his chair and thinks to himself 'Soon it will be time for me to make my appearance to them'.
