For this fanfic, I have to search and search through about Chinese traditions, etiquette, manners, dishes(which I already know some), songs and etc. It almost blew my mind in the knowledge I gain and my hands are sore from writing important notes. It's tiring but fun. Hope you all enjoy the fanfiction that I put all my hardwork and mind into it. *cries*

Starting next week, I have summer workshop to attend. It's every M-W-F and it's a theatre workshop. Wish me luck!

Let's go back to Marinette's situation in China.

I opened my eyes to see that I'm in my old bedroom. I saw that I'm wearing a pink sleeping robe and the changes that have been altered in my old room. The walls were repainted and carpets were cleaned. My baggage lay on the floor next to my queen sized bed.

"Good Morning, Marinette!" Tikki yawned from her slumber. I smiled at her cuteness. "Good morning to you too, Tikki!"

I'll need to sneak in to the kitchen for cookies. I bet my hat that she's hungry.

She nods and goes back to her sleep. I stood up from my bed and tidy it up before going into the bathroom. My bathroom is as big as a room. It has a big bathtub, a small jacuzzi, a shower, aquarium, toilet and sink. Those are worth more than millions of euros.

I walk inside my closet room. Which is big like room. It has many shelved and wardrobes and clothes and shoes in different kinds. There are also accessories that worth millions.

I wear a simple pink short dress with gold trimming at the end. The ribbon that hugs under my breast is made of white silk. I wore my simple gold necklace around my neck.

A knock on my door get me out of my daze. "Come in!" I screamed for them to hear. I instantly close the door of my closet room to see a female attendant.

Did Tikki hide?

I turned to look at my bed to see that she's completely blended in with the bed sheets. The female attendant bowed in respect. "Zao Shang Hao. I'm here to be your personal attendant, gongzhu."

"Please do not bow when we are alone. It's getting uncomfortable. So, what I have for today...what's your name?"

The girl blushed shyly. Her dark brown hair was in a bun with a blue ribbon around it. "I'm Shu, gongzhu," She said while smiling at me. Her dark brown eyes look at me with happiness.

"Your name is beautiful. So, what's my schedule for today?" I said. She looks up on her paper on her right. Checking anything for my schedule. She gives me a list of my schedule and my eyes grew wide. My schedule that she gave me is until Friday.

Wth! Will I live till my public announcement? There is so much classes I have to attend and catch up!

"I think-k I'm going to faint from what I'm seeing right now," I nervously said to her. She shrugged and smiled a little. "It says here that after breakfast, you'll have Manners and Etiquette for two hours." I groaned.

I can do it. I can do it!

"Gongzhu, it's time for breakfast."

I internally leap in joy. Food!

"Yes!"

I quickly go to the dining room where my grandmother sat waiting for me. She look at me amused. "Tsk. You're one minute late," She said. "You know that it's one of our Etiquette to be on time when it's time to eat, Marinette."

"Uhm...Zao Shang Hao, Huang Tai hou," I almost stammered. She chuckles lightly and let's me sit. The chefs served the meals consists of Wonton noodles, steamed buns, soybean milk and deep-fried dough sticks, crepes, pancakes, Green tea, croissant, and egg tart. My mouth drooled seeing the food around me. But I composed myself immediately before my grandmother caught me. I don't want her adding more hours on my Manners and Etiquette now, aren't we?

She can be sometimes a spoiling grandmother, a devil, a queen, or just a grandmother. "Ni Hao ma?" She asked while taking a bowl of wonton noodles. I took a piece of crepe and saw fruits and cream with it. "Wo hen Hao," I said before taking a bite of it.

Before you say anything, yes, we are using chopsticks. But right now, it's a crepe so I'm using fork and knife. She smiles at me while eating her bowl of noodles. "Ah, Ni xuexi zenme yang?"

Not my studies...No. Kill me!

I can feel a small sweat rolled down from forehead and turned my head to her. Oh gosh. "It's fine...Dan wo taoyan kexue."

"Hm. Still same old, sunnu. Ah, you're teacher is here. You must eat faster. We will catch up later at dinner," She said smiling with amusement. I pout at her before eating my meal quickly with elegance and grace. It's part of being a princess, you know.

After eating breakfast with my grandmother and forgot asking the whereabouts of the old man, I studied my schedule to see it will be held on the library. Damn, grandma. You don't need to be so cruel again like Mom when it comes to my studies. I groaned.

There's freaking Math and science in my schedule. I'm fine with the rest. But Math and Science! My parents is the one behind this! I'm sure of it! They know I'm failing in that two subjects! They must have contact grandma! And look, it's one and half hour! I'm done!

I walk to the library and saw a woman of her thirties stood waiting for me. She looks strict with her dark brown eyes and medium brown hair in a bun.

New teacher.

"You're late five minutes! A princess of China is never late for anything!" She snapped at me.

I'm right. She's strict.

"Duibuqi. I'm sorry," I apologized.

"Don't be late again in later lessons or even in your other lessons. Understood?" I nod.

Alya would have shouted at her minutes ago. I wish she was here.

"I am Xiaoli, your teacher for manners and etiquette." I bowed down to her.

"I am Marinette, Laoshi Xiaoli."

I stood head held high and correct my posture. She nods at my posture and let's me sit on the chair in correct posture.

"What's the proper way greeting other foreigners?" She asked. We are discussing about proper etiquette of China.

"The proper way of greeting a foreigner is by handshake." She nods at my answer.

"Which age should be greeted first? Older or younger?"

Easy than science.

"The oldest person is always greeted first," I said. "Correct, gongzhu."

"How would you address someone?" She asks looking at her leather book.

"By their title and surname."

"Good."

She ask me more questions about etiquette and discusses about Confucianism. If you don't know what it is, Confucianism is a system of behavior and ethics that stress the obligation of people towards one another based upon their relationship.

For example is the relationship between a ruler and a subject or between a husband and wife.

After that, she trains me more on posture on walking. She puts three hard-bound books on top of my head and let's me walk. Of course, it shouldn't fall. Because of lack of training in this posture, I fell five times in a row before doing it again correctly.

It pretty hurts falling again and again.

Two hours have gone and my teacher Xiaoli told me that I have one hour free time to spent. So, I immediately ran to the halls and sneak into the kitchen before going to my bedroom. Tikki flies to me

"Marinette! I'm hungry!" She shouted with her stomach growling. I chuckled before shoving her the cookies I sneak in for her. "Their yours, Tikki. I'm sorry that you have to wait for me for two whole hours."

"It's fine. At least you didn't forget!" She said gigging over on her cookies.

I bet the cooks will be screaming to who took the cookies they bake just an hour ago.

"Oh, Marinette. Alya, your other friends, and your mom texted you an hour ago. Check your phone now." She gets back on her cookies while I took my phone. I check it out to see 50 text messages from Alya, 10 from my other classmates, and one text message from Mom.

I call Alya knowing it's probably night in Paris. I waited and she answers. "Hello? Mari?" She ask.

"Alya! I miss you!" I screamed at the phone. "Ouch! Lower it down, girl. I'm using my headphones. Geez," She winced in pain.

"Sorry, Alya. How's school?"

"Oh, you better didn't go with your grandparents, Mari. We are going on a one week and three days trip outside France!" My eyes bulged.

I should have postponed my leave! Oh my!

"Really?! Where will it be?"

"It's going to be China!" She said.

I think...Never mind. It's going to be in- Wait WHAT?!

"I beg your pardon?"

"Tsk. Didn't you hear girl? I said it's going to be in China!" She yell in the call. I winced at her loud voice. Damn.

Not here. Not here. Kill me. They'll know my secret!

"Why in China?" I ask her. "Because China is in our history lesson. The dynasties, you know."

"Now, how are you?"

"I'm fine. My grandma arranged me private teachers who were going to teach me what I'll need," I told her. "Woah, private tutors? That's awesome! Are your grandparents that rich?" She asked.

"Hm. If you say so, they kind of are like that. Anyway, did something happened at school that you didn't say to me?"

"Oh, Chloe-"

"Gongzhu, It's Shu! You have Math and Science in a few minutes!" Shu cuts off Alya. Alya hears about the Math and Science and chuckles. "Sorry, Alya! Oh geez! Why grandma? Why?!" I cried.

I'm nervous!

"It's fine. Goodluck with your Math and Science!"

Alya! Don't leave me!

"No! Don't leave me dying here, Alya!" I screamed but she end the call. She did leave me.

Traitor. Leaving me alive to my private tutors who's going to eat me alive!

I left Tikki whose belly is big and comatose from cookies. I pinch a little of her stomach before leaving to my Math and Science class.

In my free time, I text my mom who asks me if I'm comfortable and told her I am.

Even if It isn't because of cruel numbers!

I text back my other classmates who missed me. I guess they didn't know until Ms. Bustier told them, huh. I head to my next tutor who's going to train me more of my Gymnastics.

I'm doing it since I'm 3 years old. I guess Goodluck to me.
