I'm sorry if I will have slow updates soon because of the workshop I attend. Please understand. Arigato!

Let's start the new chapter, ne? Let's see what's Marinette reaction towards meeting her classmates in her own home.

The music flow out my feelings. I miss them so much. I wanted to meet them again. I play the erhu on its sadness as I wondered back the way Chat puns even when there's an akuma. I miss him even though I hate his puns. I chuckled in my mind.

Stupid Chaton. I wondered how is he doing in Paris. Is he okay? I wish he's safe.

I wondered about my friends back home. I miss them, too. What are they studying now? I am so lonely without them.

Yes, very lonely and sad.

I heard a knock and saw that it's only Shu. I play the erhu again noticing she came back to listen.

I guess she came back with something? But what is it...?

The song translates to the sad life and emotions that turned artistic by this piece. I really loved the emotions that was portrayed in this music. It cries out my heart.

As I play the erhu, a loud bang startled all of us in the room. My heart skip a beat at what I saw. My eyes widened in recognition of the people who ruined my time playing the instrument. All of them looked at me with their jaws touching the floor.

T-they're here. But who-

Someone shouted my name and I recognized it. I stood up from my chair after putting down the erhu. I looked at Shu knowing she was involved in this situation. I saw the old man, Tang, in his chair looking at the people who barged in our session.

I felt sorry at what happened.

I go towards by the piano and told Tang that I'm sorry that I have to go. I can't show. I can't stay at all. My eyes hurt right now. I have to go somewhere before I, my emotions, explode.

I ran away from the music room. I didn't stop when I heard Shu called me. I still ran. Away from them. Away from shame. Away from everything that they'll say. I'm afraid.

I closed the door of my bedroom and launch myself in my bed. My eyes blurred and river flow. I don't know if I am to be happy or scared. I don't know what to choose. Tikki flew from her plate of cookies and saw the tears came out of my eyes.

"Marinette, what happened?" She asked while I clung to the white huge hug pillow like it's death if I part with it. "They're here, Tikki. Alya, Nino, Adrien...All of them. The whole class!" I cried.

I don't know what to do.

Her eyes widened from the news. "Isn't that great? Isn't it what you wanted?"

I wanted it.

"Not like this, Tikki! Now they knew I'm a princess! They'll be disappointed that I'm not-princess-material and doesn't like one! I don't know how to confront them! I have to run away just to let this emotions flow out!" I snapped. "I wanted to see them. But as the plain old me!"

I'm nothing but plain.

"Don't say that, Marinette! You're a wonderful girl. Pretty, creative, kind, helpful, loving, nice, and friendly! Out of the things you messily do, you are a great person! Don't be scared of what people tell you. Be brave, Marinette. Be yourself!" she said while puffing out her small chest. "Be a princess or a peasant, your still a human. You will always have something that greatly acknowledges you as what you are and what you do. You will always have something that will push you out of the cliff. Be strong and fight your way up high from the fall. You always manage to do that, aren't you?"

I do.

Tikki flew and wipe my tears away. Slowly realizing everything she said. Her words always make me filled up with vigor. She always have done it whenever I needed it. I nod back at her.

"Even if you keep it, it'll always come out and escape. Let it fly, Marinette. Don't be afraid showing who you are. You are a superhero, a princess, and a normal girl. The same person of this three persona," She said softly while patting my cheeks. "And even if the whole world is against you, you will always have me."

I'm so happy that I met you, Tikki.

She kissed my forehead and I giggled. A knock stops us and Tikki hid by the pillows. "Please do come inside!" I said loudly for her to hear before wiping up the excess tears. I heard metal noises to see she's using keys to open up the closed door. She opens up the door and closed it.

She bowed in front of me. I straighten up my back and sat like a true princess. Her eyes look at me guiltily. "I'm sorry for what I did, Gongzhu. Huang Tai hou told me to keep it a secret for you. She wanted it to be a surprise. But it turned out very awful. Duibuqui!" She plead.

"It's fine, Shu. I am sorry for my actions earlier, too. Please forward my thanks to my Grandmother," I told her. "So, I have to be a tour guide to them or what? Oh, stop bowing please!"

She smiles at me that reach her ears. Her eyes glistened happily. "You'll be a tour guide for them, Gongzhu. You'll accompany them till dinner."

Oh, that's why...

"Oh, I can manage that. Please line them up outside my door. I'll be there for a minute," I said and do what I told her. Once she's out of sight, Tikki flew up and smiled. "You need to patch up that tears, Marinette. Remember what I told you, be who you are!" She said making my stomach turn into fireworks of blooming flower.

I can do it.

I patch up everything and look at the mirror again to see that I look like I didn't cry. Tikki gave me thumbs before I open my door. Light blinded my eyes and slowly it focuses on the people I knew.

I can do it.

They look at me with their eyes looking for an answer. I bowed slightly with grace. "I'm sorry for my actions earlier. A princess shouldn't act so rashly. Please forgive me."

Please accept my apologies.

Alya's eyes almost teared up seeing me and hug me. I am surprised by the sudden action. Then one by one, all of them hugged me even Chloe. I couldn't help but smile at the sudden action of my friends. Once they stop hugging me, I clear my throat. But my insides betrayed me.

Adrien hug me! Adrien hug me! I can die happy now! Omg!

Okay...Calm down...

"I know all of you wanted answers. Even you, Alya wanted them. I'll answer them all by dinner, so, let's start the tour now," I told them and they happily agreed.

We walk to the halls until we reach a certain room. "This is the room full of antiques and relics from Ancient China. Please be careful. One breakage of an item inside here costs 100 million. Oh, I remember, don't take pictures," I told them. When we got inside the room, I let them see the collection from every dynasties. Max can be seen always writing down what I say.

Alya records my voice and others just type in their tablets some information. I show them every kind and designs of pottery, hair ornaments, and jewelries. I saw Chloe didn't have any care at all.

"How do you protect this from danger of getting stolen?" Max asked me. I quickly ask Shu for an face powder and she gave it to me. I open it up and blow the powder in the glasscased jewelry. After a few seconds, red lines around the glasscased jewelry appeared. Their eyes look up in fear. There are even red lines above the casing.

"That's very guarded," Kim said. "When you leave in a big Country and you have such items in your house, won't you be so careful of it?" I said and Max nodded while adjusting his glasses.

After letting them see the antiques, I showed them the garden that my grandmother is taking care since she's a child. They were in awe seeing the marvelous Chinese garden that was bigger than an Olympic pool. Flowers and trees were trimmed and pampered very well. I let them take selfies and pictures by the garden. Alya was left by my side while taking a picture of white roses.

"You know, this garden is very amazing," Alya whispered to me. "Thanks. This garden was grandmother's and she always pampers the plants with her love," I told her. She looks to me and she sighed.

I miss her.

"May I talk to you later...alone?" She asked. I looked down the ground knowing that she wanted to talk to me. "Sure, Alya. We can have a tea later at my break time."

Please accept...

"Oh! Can we have pastries then?" She asked eagerly. I laughed. "Of course! You come to my bedroom anytime and have a buffet of midnight snacks!"

"Is this the way you apologize to me?"

I looked down shyly and playing my fingers. "Y-yeah. I really hate keeping secrets from you and I don't know anything or way to apologize to you."

"Don't worry, girl. I forgive you and before that you told me all the details from the start later at our tea time!" She said smiling up to me. I hug her tightly and she hugs me back. "I really miss you, Alya!" I cried.

"I miss you too, Marinette," She warmly said. We heard a snap of a camera to see Nino with a camera on his hands. He looks up to us with tears in his eyes. Adrien was beside him tearing up and patting Nino.

"This moment is the most dramatic I ever seen!" Nino joked. "Nino, I need tissues!" Adrien said. Nino gave him some tissues and sneeze into them.

This two...

"You bastards! You cut our moment here! Get lost!" Alya snapped. The two boys laughed and ran. I chuckled while Alya ran after them. My heart beats very musically and happily seeing everything was alright.

I wish they could stay here with me. I wish everyday would be like this. Please keep my friends safe. Please...
