Spells and Louds
Chapter 211: After a Miraculous
(Paris, France)
Marinette Dupain-Cheng is at the roof balcony of her room, which is part of the Dupain-Cheng bakery.
Then Tikki appears in front of her. ""Are you okay Marinette?"
Marinette sighs. "Everything that happened yesterday, it all happened so fast and now things are changing around here in Paris."
"Yeah, it is pretty cool that a Guardian was here and spoke to you, I have heard of Gyro from Mr. Fu, but he never told me or the other Kwami's all about him. All I know is that he's very powerful" replied Tikki.
"Yeah, he's a really nice person. Some part of me thought I wasn't meant for this role of being Guardian of the Miraculous box, but thanks to the Guardian I feel motivated to make sure the Miraculous box stays safe from Hawkmoth" replied Marinette.
"And let's not forget about all of the new hero friends you and Cat Noir made" said Tikki.
"Yeah, though I did feel so sorry for Luna and Lincoln and at the same time happy for them. They have such a strong sibling bond and they all went through so much trouble, I guess they really are more experienced heroes than Cat Noir and myself" said Marinette.
"True, but at least you have some allies to call upon when things go critical" said Tikki.
"Yeah that is true, even though I have the Miraculous's to bring in some of our own allies to help. It is nice to have some well skilled and experienced people to help out, and we can be able to beat Hawkmoth and even find him and save the Butterfly and the Peacock Miraculous" said Marinette.
"See, everything is turning out great for everyone" said Tikki.
"And Chloe isn't here anymore, so that means I won't have to stress out on renouncing her title of being Queen Bee" said Marinette.
Just then they hear Marinette's phone ring. "Looks like its Alya."
"See what does she say" replied Tikki.
Marinette checks her phone and sees the text. Hey there girl, we're about to go and hang out with our Royal Defender Friends, you wanna join in?
Marinette wanted to hang out with the Spellman's again, but she had to stay and watch over Paris.
Tikki sees the text and looks to Marinette. "Go and hang out with them Marinette."
"But what about Paris? What if someone gets Akumatized? Cat Noir won't be able to fight them off by himself" said Marinette.
"Marinette, did you forget the modified Akuma and Amok detectors again? And the Guardian might be in the other world as well, he could teleport you back here instantly" said Tikki.
Marinette was having some second thoughts, but then she smiled. "You know what Tikki, you're right" she grabs her purse and Tikki hides inside of it. "Let's go and hang out with our hero allies."
Marinette heads out of the house, but she tells her parents where she's going. They both were okay with her hanging out with the other worldly friends, but her dad Tom Dupain wants her to bring a basket of Macarons and Cookies, for her friends.
Marinette heads out of the bakery, she then sees a Tsunami tank in front of the bakery waiting for her. 'Huh, I guess that's my ride.'
(Spellman Estate)
Leni, Sunset, Dana, Becky and Lori are waiting by the Great Gate.
Then they see the portal activate and coming out are they're teen friends from Paris, France.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Alya Cesaire, Luka Couffaine, Juleka Couffaine, Rose Lavillant, Alix Kudbel, Nino Lahiffe, Max Kante, Le Chien Kim, Ivan Bruel, Mylene Haprele, Kagami Tsurugi and Jagged Stone and his assistant Penny Rolling? Oh, and his pet Crocodile Fang. Wait a minute! Crocodile!
Leni, Lori, Sunset, Dana and Becky were kinda confused by all of this.
"Okay, I did not expect there to be many of you" said Becky.
"Let's just say these guys are kinda like a big team of friend's package" said Leni.
"And they always do their best to support each other" said Sunset.
"Though, I have never seen some of these guys before" said Dana.
The group of French friends look around and see the large house of Spellman Estate.
"Wow! Now that is one good looking house" said Kim.
"Kinda looks like a Mansion" said Alix.
"Like the one Adrien lives in, almost" said Nino.
They then see some of the Royal Defenders at the side of the road waiting for them with their vehicles.
"Hey guys, you're all glad we made it?" asked Alya.
"Sorta, we just didn't expect to see more of you guys here" said Leni.
Kagami steps forward. "Greetings friends, I am Kagami Tsurugi. It is an honor to meet the people who are helping support Ladybug and Cat Noir's fight against Akuma's."
"Okay" replied Sunset, they had no clue what's with her and that responsible looking glare.
"Sorry about Kagami, she can be strict at times since her mother trains her so much in sword fighting and fencing and swimming and a lot of things" said Marinette. "Also, I brought with me some of my family's pastries."
"Wow, cool" said Dana.
"We heard from Lincoln and Luna all about these" said Leni. They all grab one and eat.
"By the way, Kagami are you Japanese?" asked Becky.
"That I am. My family has been a generations past in the way of the Samurai and I fight with honor and do my best not to lie, unless I wish to hang out with my friend Marinette" replied Kagami. "Luckily all of my lessons are done and my mother allowed me to come here."
"Okay, but what's with that guy?" Dana points out to Jagged Stone.
"Hey there luv's, the name's Jagger Stone. I heard so much about the whole incident with the big demon beast and thought I'd like to see this girl who is a total respect for Rock n' Roll!" said Jagged Stone.
"Oh, and this is my assistant Penny and my pet Fang" They were shocked to see the Crocodile growling at them.
They back away slowly. "Why did you bring a crocodile with you?" asked Becky.
"He's my pal, and I love him and wouldn't let anything wrong happen to him" said Jagged Stone.
"He's not lying, and I am here to make sure he's doing well in this world. He still has an upcoming tour in three weeks" said Penny.
"But in the meantime, I wanna check out this little lady named Luna" said Jagged Stone.
Leni sighs. "Sorry Mr. Stone, but Luna is having some bonding moments with Lincoln now, they both could use some brother and sister time."
Jagger Stone wasn't disappointed at all. "I see, well I understand." Then they see Sam arrive in her truck and she has her axe in hand. "What is going on here?"
Leni gets an idea. "Sam is Luna's girlfriend and she also likes Rock n' Roll."
"And has a skill with other genres of music" said Sunset.
"I guess I can work with this" Jagged stone goes to Sam.
"I'm gonna guess, you're that Jagged Stone guy I heard about" said Sam.
"That I am, and it is a pleasure to meet you" said Jagged Stone.
Sam sees the Crocodile with him. "How about we take this whole thing at my place. My dad is a great singer and so is his girlfriend and my three other sisters are also going to be on tour two weeks from now."
"Rock on little lady, also nice truck" said Jagged Stone.
"Thanks, my dad gave it to me" Sam then looks to Leni. "Is Luna here?"
"Sorry Sam, she needs some sibling bonding right now" replied Leni.
Sam chuckles. "It's cool, I understand" Sam gets into her truck with Penny next to her and Jagged Stone sits in the back with Fangs. How did he get the crocodile into the back?
"Well, they're gonna have a nice day, so you guys ready to hang out?" asked Leni.
"Heck yeah we are" replied Alix.
"So, where are we off to?" asked Nino.
"Well there's two places we can all go, the mall or the park" replied Dana.
"I would like to see what kind of fashion you guys have here, we are in America right?" asked Rose.
"We are" they all look up to see Neil come down on the back of a Mutalisk.
Neil lands down and the Mutalisk takes off. "Sorry about the entrance there, my Leviathan is in orbit of the planet I just had a discussion with Stukov."
"It's cool dad, though I'm sure some of these guys have never seen aliens before" replied Sunset.
"That was an alien?!" asked Max and Kim.
"It was, our dad is the supreme leader of a limitless alien army" replied Leni.
"Leni please. Call me Swarm Lord" replied Neil. Then he gets a text. "Looks like Giles needs some assistance at Ever After High, I gotta go and deal with this dispute between Baba Yaga and Rumplestiltskin."
Neil uses his powers to activate the Great Gate. "I'll be back soon guys" Neil passes through the portal.
The Parisian teens were confused as to what he just said.
"Did he just say Rumplestiltskin?" asked Juleka and Luka.
"Yup, the actual Rumplestiltskin, and he is literally a jerk with grades" replied Lori.
"So there's a fairytale world?" asked Rose.
"There is, though it's more like a world with a high school for Fairytale kids" said Leni.
"That sound so cool" said Marinette.
"Well as much as we'd love to bring you guys there, now is not the right time" said Becky.
"We understand, also we've never seen you before when your friends were in Paris" said Alya.
"My names Becky Jill Miller, I wasn't around because I had to visit a family friend. I'm just like the, a Royal Defender, my powers are green fire for damage and healing" said Becky.
"Wow! That is very fascinating" said Max.
"And she's also Martin McKenzie's love interest!" said Dana.
Becky blushes. "It's true, he's a really sweet guy under all of that brain genius stuff."
"Aww, that's so sweet! You two look so cute together" said Rose.
Then they all hear some loud squawking and look up to see a flock of Altaria flying by them.
"Now those are some strange birds" said Ivan.
"Well, you guys will be seeing a lot of strange things when we get to the mall and pass by our town" said Lori.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" said Mylene.
They all go to their cars, which they were impressed by their rides.
They all take off to the one place where they can all hang out, the mall.
(Royal Woods Mall)
They all park their cars and look at the large structure, they also spot some Pokemon wandering around the place.
"So, these Pokemon are living here in Royal Woods and Great Lake City?" asked Alix.
"They are, we're not certain they should live across the world yet. Until trust between people and other worldly citizens is accomplished" said Leni.
"They seem so cool" said Nino.
"They show true might and potential, I can see that even the smallest of creatures here can be very powerful and skilled" replied Kagami.
"She's not wrong" replied Sunset.
"Well, we should get to the mall, I wanna see if they have a sports place" said Kim.
"They do, my sister Lynn always goes there to see whats new" replied Lori.
"And they do have an electronics store" said Sunset.
"Now that is the place for me! And I brought with me my bestest buddy, Markov" they see the small flying round robot from his backpack. "Greetings friends! It is a pleasure to meet you all!
The Royal Defenders were kinda shocked to see the robot from his backpack.
"Was he with you this whole time?" asked Sunset.
"Of course he was, he's my best pal" said Max. "We are both smart and very resourceful!" replied Markov.
"Markov here was made by Max, and these two are one heck of a team with video games" replied Kim.
Sunset snickers. "Okay then, though I am a video gamer myself."
"Really now? In what kinds of games?" asked Max.
"This is gonna be one heck of a day for us" replied Dana.
They all make their way to the mall while they all chat.
(Sharp Residence)
Sam parks her truck outside and gets out, alongside Penny Rolling and Jagged Stone. "Well, here we are my family house."
"Pretty sick crib here luv, your rents home?" asked Jagged Stone.
"I'm pretty sure they are" replied Sam. Then they hear some gun fire. "And that must be my dad at the backyard shooting targets, he has this big sword that's also a gun."
"Wicked, and what is that?" asked Jagged Stone.
They all look at Rapidash who is eating grass at the front lawn.
"Oh, that's my dad's Pokemon partner Rapidash. She used to be a Ponyta, but she evolved" replied Sam.
"So, kinda like me and Fang here?" asked Jagged Stone.
"Sorta, Pokemon are very powerful creatures, and there' even some crocodile looking Pokemon too" said Sam.
"Wow, this world sure has a lot of odd and amazing things" said Penny.
Sam chuckles. "Darn right it does, now come on i have some copies of the songs that me, Luna and the rest of the gang made."
"Lead the way gov" replied Jagged Stone.
They all enter the house and spot Ember on the couch tuning her ghostly guitar.
"Hey Ember, we have company" said Sam.
Ember gets up and sees them, and then she sees the crocodile with the collar. "What the heck is that?"
"This is Jagged Stone's pet, or best friend" replied Penny Rolling.
"Okay, so you're the rock and roll guy from Paris" said Ember.
"Right as rain mate" replied Jagged Stone.
"Okay, so what are you guys doing here?" asked Ember.
"They wanted to meet with Luna, but she's having some sibling bonding time with her little bro. So I brought them here to listen to the songs we all made" said Sam.
"Okay. But why not bring them to Spellman Estate? They have a recording studio" said Ember.
"What?! That big house near that sick gate has a music recording studio?!" asked Jagged Stone in shock.
Sam chuckles. "They do, but it's currently undergoing some renovations and won't be ready until tomorrow."
"Aww man, that would've been nice to be there, but I understand. So, lead the way and let's listen to your tunes luv" said Jagged Stone. "Also, where' your old man at?"
"Right here" they turn around to see Peter with some safety goggles and a shotgun. "Jagged Stone I presume."
"That's me mate, and you must be the manager of your three daughters and also part time stage manager" said Jagged Stone.
"That I am" Peter then sees the crocodile. "And you brought a large reptilian into my home. Okay, just keep an eye on him, and Sam don't let Pichu anywhere neat it."
"Got it dad, also Pichu is with the Dazzles in their room" replied Sam.
"Okay, just tell your sisters about this and they'll keep clear, the last thing I need is to hear Sonata scream in fear" replied Peter.
"No worries mate, as long as I am around, Fang here will be well behaved" replied Jagged Stone. The crocodile hisses at Peter.
"Sure, I believe you" replied Peter, sarcastically.
They all head upstairs and into Sam's room.
Peter and Ember stand next to each other and look up the stairs. "If that reptiles does anything wrong I'm shooting it" said Peter.
"Good call" replied Ember.
(Royal Woods Mall)
They all had a wonderful time meeting with the other teen friends, Jackie, Mandee, Whitney, Teri and Carol. Including Leni's work friends at Reiningers which was a surprise to Marinette and her gal friends, Leni works there.
The guys all go around at the mall and look for places they like, Nino and Luka found a music store, Ivan and Kim found sportswear and Max located the gaming and electronics store.
And to help them with their shopping, they were all generously given some extra cash from Leni and Sunset, where did they get this cash? You can say fighting Hybrid and saving the Koprulu sector compensates well.
After an hour of mall shopping, they all meet up at the food court, if some of them get lost there's a map nearby.
"So, you guys have Pokemon partners and do some battles?" asked Alix.
"We do, some of them have evolved" said Leni.
"My Eevee evolved when we were in the forest during the first of December" replied Sunset.
"I wanna know, what other heroes have you guys encountered?" asked Alya.
"She really likes hero facts and info" said Marinette.
"Well, there's like a lot of awesome heroes out there in the cosmos. It's hard to keep track of all of them" said Dana.
"From the Avengers, Overwatch, the Alliance, the Horde, the Swarm, the Dominion, the Protoss, the X-Men and the Justice League. Okay so we haven't encountered those guys yet" said Becky.
"Must be hard to catch up with all of them" said Juleka.
"It can be sometimes, but we meet them when the situation is literally dire" replied Lori.
"So, what's it like living and schooling in Paris?" asked Jackie.
"The best! We have so many cool places to go, many hang outs and parks" said Rose.
"The one place we all go to is near the Eiffel Tower. We all have friendly moments there" said Mylene.
"School can be tough at times, but also fun" said Alya.
"The best part, is that Chloe is no longer a student there!" said Alix.
"She's right, it'll be much safer with her no longer around" said Juleka. "And making us look bad."
"Which then makes us Akumatized" replied Mylene.
"Wow, this Chloe person sounds kinda mean" said Teri.
"She is, though she was never like that. She was mean at first, but then she learned how to be understanding and friendly, but after she joined Hawkmoth we don't know what truly happened within her, she became ever worse than she was before" replied Marinette.
"She has proven herself to be an even more potential threat to others with her betrayal, she controlled all of us and made us her slaves, though I do not remember much about all of it" said Kagami.
"Well that's just terrible. Does she have a best friend?" asked Whitney.
"She does, her name is Sabrina. Her dad is the police captain" said Alya.
"I haven't heard from Sabrina since, I wonder how she's doing" said Mylene.
This made Marinette worried, and Lori, Leni, Sunset, Dana and Becky could see it.
They all meet at the food court and then they spot the boys coming.
"So, how was the rest of the mall?" asked Lori.
"Pretty cool dudes! I totally got me some new headsets and some new CD's to put some remixes in" said Nino.
"I found this book on new guitar tunes, this could really help with my songs. We also went to check up on Max" said Luka.
"I have never seen so many new games in my life!" said Max.
"Same with me Max, from first person shooting games, Real time Strategies and Multi-player Online Battle Arenas" said Markov.
"Maybe once they get signal relays to share with your world, you can check out Sunset's game stream videos, she is one heck of a pro" said Dana.
"But I have to warn you. Most of my videos are rated M and above for good reasons" said Sunset.
"You mean when you play with dad and the rest of the guys and they start cursing" chuckled Leni.
"Yup that" said Sunset.
"What about you guys? Anything from Sportswear?" asked Lori.
"I didn't know you uncles were wrestlers! They were so awesome from the video we saw on the store's TV!" said Kim.
"They have some heck of a sport here in this place" said Ivan.
"And I got me some new track shoes, I'll be so awesome when I participate and win in this year's school track marathon" said Kim.
"And we'll be rooting for you on that one" said Alya.
"Though, we have to time you during practice. To see if we can improve your skills" said Max.
"Of course little dude" replied Kim.
"You know, for a sports jock you seem really nice" said Jackie.
"We don't see many of those kinds here in Royal Woods" said Mandee.
"Well, I used to be boastful and kinda mean. But after some hard thinking and when I became Akumatized, I realized I can have friends and learn to be more understanding. I also used to have this crush on Chloe, but then I got over it" replied Kim.
"Yup, you are definitely one jock we can all respect" said Teri.
They all order some food and enjoy some more conversations, then one thing came into Leni's mind. "Guys, where's Adrien?"
Nino sighed. "Adrien has piano practice today."
"He already finished fencing training with me, and then he said he had to do a photo shoot for a magazine. His schedule is very much full for today" replied Kagami.
"Well that's a shame, he would've really liked to be here and maybe check out some of the men's clothing" said Leni.
"Yeah, he would" said Marinette.
They can all see she was feeling a bit down, but she put on her normal face once again.
"Hey, after all of this you guys wanna go and hang out at our place?" asked Sunset.
"Sure" they all replied.
(Sharp Residence)
Jagged Stone, Penny Rolling and Fang finish listening to the last song on Sam's laptop.
"So, what did you guys think?" asked Sam.
"Gotta admit luv, these songs you and Luna made are just wicked. Heck I even liked them love songs too, really does pull on my heart strings" said Jagged Stone.
Are your songs already known here in this world?" asked Penny Rolling.
"They are, but we're not signing into a record company, the Royal Defenders and FutureTech is sorta our business team" replied Sam. "You can say the whole world knows about us, from being heroes to the music."
"Very much respected I see, and I have to admit the pop in your songs sounds pretty sweet. Unlike that XY kid back at Paris" said Jagged Stone.
Sam is confused. "XY?"
"He's a musician for pop music, Jagged Stone's manager wanted Jagged Stone to team up with that kid and make Pop music instead" said Penny Rolling.
"That kids no musician! He just steals songs and remixes them, and he has my manager helping him out! And what's worse is that XY is his freaking son!" said Jagged Stone.
"Whoa what? Dudes that is terrible!" said Sam.
"But thankfully the whole fiasco was fixed after someone got Akumatized and almost wrecked everything" said Penny Rolling.
"So, everything is okay now?" asked Sam.
"It is, Hollywood gave my manager a warning. Though I chose to fire him, Penny here is my manager now" replied Jagged Stone.
"True, I used to his assistant. Now I help him with tours and records" said Penny Rolling. "Though you should think about how you speak to the rest of your band mates Jagged."
Jagged Stone sighed. "I understand, I learned that last time."
Sam couldn't help but chuckle by all of this. Then she gets a text from Luna. "Looks like Luna is headed back home, I should go and meet up with her."
"And we'll be there too, I wanna tell her how incredible those songs were" said Jagged Stone.
"Then let's go" replied Sam.
They all hop into her truck and drive off back to Spellman Estate.
Peter and Ember were glad that crocodile wasn't in there anymore.
(Spellman Estate)
Luna and Lincoln return back home from a Medivac Dropship.
"That was the best time I had with you little bro" said Luna.
"Same here sis, we never really have this much fun together" replied Lincoln. "Maybe we should do this more often, like once a month to help mend the bond we have."
"Now that sounds like a wicked plan bro, I'm in on it" said Luna.
They then see the Great Gate glow and coming out was Neil. "Hey kids, how was the bonding time?"
"Pretty wicked dad" said Luna.
"The best I ever had with Luna. We did some sightseeing at Aiur and Korhal, relaxed in the waters of Alola, helped the Crystal Gems at Beach City and did some exploring in Equestria" replied Lincoln.
Neil chuckles. "Sounds more like a duo mission than a hang out."
"You can say that, but it was a moment of true sibling bonding" said Luna.
"And we were thinking of making this a once a month thing" said Lincoln.
"Well I think it's a great idea, also the teens from Paris were here and they were headed to the mall. They might be back soon" replied Neil.
"Cool, I wonder how Linka is doing in the gender bent world" said Lincoln.
"She does have to tell Loni that Leni has been appointed as her legal guardian, that and the whole DISK incident" said Luna.
"I'm sure he'll understand, Loni would never be truly angry at Linka" replied Neil.
Then they spot the cars of their friends arrive and coming out were they're Parisian teen crew.
"Hey guys, so how was the sibling time?" asked Leni.
"The best I've ever had with Luna" replied Lincoln.
"We had a heck of a good time" replied Luna.
"Looks like you all got some new stuff" said Neil.
"We did a lot of shopping" said Alya.
"And these outfits are just so amazing" said Rose.
"I would like to see if I can do some modifications to them" said Marinette.
"Speaking of modifications, you and Leni should go and talk about that now" said Alya.
"She's right, I have so much fashion designs to show you Marinette" said Leni.
"Okay, lead the way then" Marinette chuckles and follows Leni into the house and to their room.
Then they see Sam's truck arrive and coming out from the back is Jagged Stone. "Which one of you is Luna?"
"Who wants to know dude?" asked Luna.
"Luna, this is Jagged Stone" said Sam.
"The rock star from Paris?" asked Luna.
"The very same one, I have a lot to talk to you about those songs you made" said Jagged Stone.
Luna was not sure about this, she looks towards Lincoln. "Go and talk to him sis, I'm sure he'll understand."
Luna smiles and hugs Lincoln. "Okay bro, we can hang out afterwards."
"It's a plan Lunes" replied Lincoln.
Luna looks to Jagged Stone. "Alright dude, let's go and chat in my crib."
Sam, Jagged Stone and Penny Rolling follow her into the house, Lincoln and Neil were shocked to see a crocodile following them.
"I think I should go and make sure Courage, Washington and Victoria don't run into that thing" said Lincoln as he follows.
"Good call" replied Neil.
Then they see a vulture bike arrive and on it was Jordan. "Hey guys, where's Lincoln?"
"Inside the house, so how are the modifications to his vulture?" asked Neil.
"Martin added some new add-ons that could help for future combat use" said Jordan. "I'm gonna go and see what he's up to." Jordan heads into the house.
Leaving Neil, Lori, Dana, Becky, Sunset and the rest of the gang outside.
"So, you guys wanna watch a Pokemon battle?" asked Neil.
"Sure" they all reply.
"You are so going down dad" said Sunset.
"It's on" said Neil.
(Leni's room)
Leni and Marinette are looking at all of Leni's many fashion design's and ideas, including the dress Leni will be wearing at the True Heart's Day dance.
Leni then decides it was time to talk. "Hey Marinette."
"Yeah"
"Do you have a crush on Adrien Agreste?" asked Leni.
Marinette stops going through Leni's notes and closes the book. "You might wanna sit down for this one."
Leni sits next to Marinette. "So, what's wrong Marinette?"
"You see, when I first met Adrien I didn't know how to approach him, you can say I was always a klutz when I tried to talk to him. It took me a long time to try and get used to his presence, my friends did their best to help me confess to him on how I feel and of course Adrien's pals were trying their best for Adrien to notice me, but he was always occupied by other things, from his father, to his lessons."
"Eventually I was calm enough to tell him how much of a good friend he is to me, but I never really got the chance to tell him how I feel. It took me some more time and many situations to realize, maybe I should move on, Adrien has someone else on his mind and I should look for some else as well" said Marinette sadly, but she was also feeling relieved as well.
Leni the understood. "It's Luka isn't it?"
Marinette sighs. "He's such a nice guy, he's sweet, understanding and so passionate and truly understands how I feel. Heck he even supported me into confessing about my feelings to Adrien. But I have some strange mixed feelings for him, so I'm not sure if I can see him as someone who I can admire, maybe in time I might or might not."
Leni places a hand on her shoulder. "You're not the only one who's trying to figure out love, I myself am having a hard time with it. But at the moment I think love will have to wait, I wanna do whatever I can to take charge as my role as Linka's legal Guardian, you have your choices and I have mine, we both have a future we both wanna see through."
Marinette smiles. "Thank Leni."
Leni then looks at Marinette's purse. "Also, you can tell your Kwami to come out now."
Tikki flies out of the purse. "It is so nice to meet you Leni, you are so sweet and understanding."
"Thank you Tikki and you are just so adorable!" said Leni.
"Thank you" replied Tikki.
"I bet the other Kwami's are just as cute as well" said Leni.
"Well, you wouldn't want to talk to Plagg, he can be a real lazy butt at times" said Tikki.
"We have so much to talk about. Are you sure no one will know of this, my friends are all outside after all" said Marinette.
"Chill Marinette, my room is sound proof and no one can ever know about Tikki being here, or the fact that your Ladybug, the rest of the Royal Defenders know and we're making sure your secret is safe" replied Leni.
"Good, because there was this one time when Alya almost figured me out" said Marinette.
"Oooh! Do tell" said Leni.
(Outside)
Luna, Sam, Jagged Stone, Penny Rolling and Fang leave Luna's room.
"Are you sure you won't reconsider?" asked Jagged Stone.
Luna chuckles. "As much fun as it sounds Mr. Stone, I'd rather stick with my band with our gigs here in Royal Woods, and I have a family to be with. My future in music is unsure and very much foggy."
Jagged Stone smiles. "I understand Luna, you're a really good kid and I respect that. Family is important, and you are truly devoted to them and to your lady Sam Sharp."
"Yeah, we make quite a good pair" Luna kisses Sam's cheek.
"Oh you!" Sam blushes.
Then they see Lincoln and Jordan come out of the garage. They notice Luna and the others.
"Hey guys, what's going on here?" asked Lincoln.
"We were just talkin' bro, no need to worry" replied Luna.
"I was just offering your sister a chance to perform with me in Paris" said Jagged Stone.
The whole thing sounded like the America's Next Hitmaker situation. Lincoln didn't like this at all.
"Its cool bro, I ain't doing it. I learned that the hard way from my many experiences" replied Luna.
"You've got yourself one heck of an understanding sister here Lincoln, she's alright with me" said Jagged Stone.
Then they hear some small explosions. "Sounds like a Pokemon brawl is going on in the back yard" said Jordan.
"I could use the battle too, Absol might be there watching" said Lincoln.
"Same with Loudred. What's say we go and join in?" said Luna.
"Now that sounds cool, and I brought Pichu with me" said Sam. Pichu comes out from Sam's hair. "She really like to hide in there."
"Then let's go and check out this battle shall we!" said Jagged Stone.
They all head to the back and join in on the Pokemon fun.
And not too far in the Super Kirov Airship, Gyro, Leon, Sergei, Loona and Boomer are watching them battling and also placing bets.
To be continued …..
And this is the Aftermath, a lot of things and stories shared and some new friends in the mix as well. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
