Miraculous Goddaughter

I-Girl in a Bubble

Sometimes it’s hard moving to a new town, a new city, a new state, and a new country. And for her case, it’s a little difficult for her to handle getting settled to all four of them at once. After she finished unpacking the last one of her essentials from the last moving box, she breaks the rest of the boxes down, sets them aside so she can put them in recycling later, and lays down on her bed to unwind from all of the unpacking she has done. As she rests, she turns to her right to see on her nightstand, a picture frame that holds a photograph of her and her cousin and friends back in London. She smiles sadly, seeing it, missing them all along with the kind guy, her acquaintance, who was a quiet kid at the back of the class, but is a sheep in wolf's clothing. She then snaps out of it, when she hears a knock on her new bedroom door. “Lucy, could you come downstairs, dear? There’s something your parents and grandmother want to inform you of.” her godmother Maggi said. “Okay, Maggi, I’ll be right down.” the girl, Mary-Loukritia, or Lucy, for short, said, getting up out of the bed. As she did, she walked out of her new bedroom and headed downstairs. When she gets to the living room, she sees her grandmother placing down some tea for them. As she sat down on the sofa, her mother, Vanessa, placed down a teacup and poured some earl grey tea for her. As she did, her father, Vittorio, or Vito, says her full name, “Mary-Loukritia Bellatrix Brielle Corleone.” she stood stiff, eyes widened with worry. “Yes, papa?” her father then places down a brochure that is about a high school that is close to their new home. Lucy looked surprised as she took a look at it. This was new to her. She has been homeschooled all her life since she was six years old, she was even used to it since it was just her and her cousin. And her friends that she made when her family went to meet up with some people in their social circle, but now, this is already sudden, and she was unsure if she can do this. “I’m uncertain about this, papa. Asides from the whole debacles that I was informed of and caught wind of, I don’t know if I can survive a day in one.” “Not to worry, Lucy.” her mother said, placing a hand on her shoulder in comfort. “If that ever does happen, we will always have your back on this. No matter how big or small it would be.” “And whatever you want to do, you have our full support.” her father added as her grandmother nodded in agreement. Lucy was still uncertain about this new milestone of hers, but if her family insists, she decided to accept that decision. “Okay, if you all say so.” she said, accepting the idea.

After that conversation and having tea with her family, she decided to go out and head out to town, to get familiar with her surroundings since she’s now in a new place. As she dressed in her long-sleeved blue dress that the hem of the dress is long below the knees, white and blue slip-ons, butterfly earrings, a pearl necklace with a butterfly charm, and a silver bracelet with a silver infinity charm. After changing to her outfit for the day, she puts on her perfume, Cupid’s Arrow, gets her handbag, checks it to see that she has everything that she needs in it, says her goodbye to her family, and heads out.

Now that she’s outside, she looks left and right, sighs, and heads out to explore the city she’s now in, Paris, France.

As she was now exploring around the city of love, she was impressed with the places the city had in store for her. The city has interesting shops, stores, and some places that have interesting merchandise of her favorite book series and favorite trilogy films, and some intriguing and tasty dishes and drinks. However, the only thing that would make her day and her life in Paris perfect, is having her favorite place in the world, Rerun the World, a super mall that has all the people, places, and things that scream vintage, retro, and nostalgia, all in one.

But then, her train of hope and thought was interrupted when she sees an old man, struggling to get his cane and getting up. In the blink of an eye, Lucy quickly runs towards the man and helps him up while picking up his cane, and handing it back to him. When the man thanks her, Lucy nods with a smile and a ‘You’re welcome, good sir.’, she then waves a goodbye to him with a smile, telling him to stay safe while walking off.

After that, Lucy continued on getting familiar with her surroundings, she spotted a bakery that seems to be very popular. Feeling intrigued, she decided to check it out and try it out. As she entered, she was greeted by a happy married couple. Lucy smiled and happily greeted them back. Lucy was very interested in all of the baked goods they have made, but decided to get something simple for her and her family to enjoy, and chose a cake. A strawberry shortcake cake. After paying for the cake, thanking the couple, and bid them a good day, she walks out of the bakery, carrying a cute, clear, red cake box with a red plaid bow and decorative red strawberries on it, that is holding the cake for her and her family to enjoy when she gets back.

A little while later, she was now taking a little stroll around the park, seeing what else the city had in store for her. However, as she was walking around the park, she started to notice a boy with a red cap, that looked and seemed to be around her age, on a park bench, blowing some bubbles, looking upset. Seeing him sad like that just makes Lucy’s heart ache. Without a second thought coming in mind, she walks up to him, and gets his attention, asking, “Are you okay?” The boy looks up to see her, looking at him sympathetically with a small smile on her face. The boy looks at her with a mix of surprise, wide-eyed gaze, slightly parted lips, and slightly dilated pupils. 

There was a quick pause at first, until the boy snapped out of it, stammering an apology and then answering her question with a no. Lucy then sits down next to him as he then explains to her what was wrong. “My friend’s dad is super strict and he won’t let my bud have a birthday party.” he said, “So I tried to convince his old man and got banned from his house…” “That’s horrible.” Lucy says, already feeling more sympathetic for the boy. “Adults ruin everything.” he said, continuing on blowing bubbles with his expression darkening. Lucy feels sorry for the boy. Even though she knows that the father of the boy’s dear friend won’t allow it, she knows that sometimes the adults have reasons why. “Well, not all of them are. Well, some, yes. But sometimes they do so for a reason.” she said, placing her hand on the boy’s shoulder in comfort. “If it makes you feel any better, you weren’t the only one that went through an issue such as this. Yet, it was a very understandable reason. From what I can remember, hearing it from the grapevine, some girls in my old school were trying to throw a birthday party for one of them, but their family wouldn’t allow it. But they then threw it anyway. Behind their backs. And if that wasn’t shocking enough, there were some drinks I’d rather not say that were included. And from what I remember hearing, one of them drank so much of that said drink, she drove her parents’ car and ended up driving it into a big lake. She wasn’t even sixteen at that time. So, long story short, they were grounded and were punished from all of it. The point is from all of that, parents and adults are only doing this because they care for us, and love us. Hence they all call it tough love. You see where I’m getting at?”

“Yes, Hawkmoth.”

“Good. I’m glad that you…I’m sorry, what was that?”

When Lucy turns her head to see the dark black and dark purple substance taking over the boy, something in her is telling her that now might be a good time to leave. And with that, she did. As she was running for her life, she was suddenly picked up by a bubble and started floating off somewhere. As she was floating to who knows where, she suddenly noticed that she was not the only one who was being taken in a bubble. She looks to see a bunch of adults being trapped in bubbles, and are floating off higher than her. Possibly higher than ever. That was when she sees an unfamiliar person, that somewhat and somehow looks familiar to her, appearing in all bubbles, saying something, but she couldn’t tell what that person is saying since she’s still in an enormous bubble, carrying her somewhere away from the adults and now down to an unfamiliar location. As she was set down to the said unknown location, the bubble popped on her, and she landed on the ground. “Okay, ow.” she muttered in pain before getting up. As she did, she started dusting herself off. After that, she looked around at her surroundings, seeing that there were a lot of kids around her age, or looked a year older or a year younger than her, already dancing to some music that was being played in the speakers. And from seeing the various looks on everyone’s faces, everyone was not looking happy. Some were frowning, some were trying to look happy, but their smiles were slightly faltering, some were trying not to make eye contact with anyone. One then noticed her, and gave her a quick look that screams ‘save yourself’. Seeing that, I started to slink away from the place and try to escape and head back home. However, she was then stopped once she felt an arm around her shoulder.

“Hey! Nobody leaves the party on my watch, especially you and Adrien!” he says, giving Lucy a sharp glare. “Stay by me for the rest of the party. You can have a front row seat when I take Ladybug and Chat Noir’s miraculous!” Lucy stiffened. Even though she doesn’t know who Ladybug or Chat Noir are, her thoughts about who Ladybug and Chat Noir are were now cut off as the the person pulled her over to the front, and without a second thought, she sat down, now having various thoughts running in her head. Thinking about how she really should’ve just gotten home after getting the cake, or just heading to a cafe away from the park, or just stayed at her family library and just read through the whole day without being involved with any issue such as this. ‘What the bloody freak was I thinking of picking this day to get familiar with my surroundings?’ she thought, mentally breaking a sweat. She then looks around, seeing all the kids, still dancing away, not looking pleased or happy or having fun whatsoever. She looks at them all sympathetically, feeling sorry for all of them going through all of this, especially for herself, not knowing this was going to happen. She then chose to count the bricks on the wall, something that she used to do back as a child when she was with her cousin after getting bored of watching the same old cartoons that were on a full loop. As she was counting bricks, some girls were walking to the guy requesting a slow dance. ‘Blimey. This place has more bricks than the hotel Lyddie and I were staying in for a while.’ she thought, finally finishing counting all of the bricks. Her thoughts were then cut off as a slow dance was now playing on the speakers. And Lucy started to see a lot of kids slow dancing as the music started playing. She thought nothing of what she was seeing, but that was until the guy pulled her up, coming close to her face, and began dancing with her, staring into her eyes. Lucy, on the other hand, was already mentally sweating bullets, not knowing what she should do, and started wishing that her cousin and friends were here, since they know how to deal with some issues such as this. However, her luck began to turn as the tune changed, making fun music played, and everyone pulled away and started dancing again, Lucy quickly pulled away, sighing in relief while the guy was looking at his turntables in disbelief.

“Dude! Who just hijacked my mix!?” he yelled. “Yours truly.” a voice said from above. Lucy looked to see who said that, and to her surprise, she saw a girl that was dressed in a ladybug tight suit, a ladybug mask, and had a ladybug colored yo-yo. “She really does look like a ladybug!” she said, looking amazed and impressed at her. The ladybug-dressed girl looked at her surprised and oddly, but shook her head, putting her attention back on the guy. However, she stood for a second before jumping away.

After a while, Lucy was sitting criss-crossed, wishing that the ladybug-dressed girl would come back saving everyone. She also hoped that this won’t happen the entire time that now she and her family are going to be living in Paris for a while. She then made eye contact with a blonde who was clearly not enjoying himself either. She then remembered something. “Um, sir. May I go get a sip of water? I’m not quite sure I can enjoy the party while parched." The guy looked at her suspiciously, but then said to her, “Fine. But make it quick.” Lucy nodded, and ran off, sighing, once the door behind her was closed. She then sighed in relief, “Thank the gods.” she said. She knows that she has to get out of the place quickly before she becomes trapped in the forced party, possibly forever. And after suddenly seeing one teen guy already floating away in a bubble, she has to make this quicker than one of her honorary uncles' ways of escaping one of the maniacs that tried to harm him and the rest of her uncles, her cousin, herself, aunt, and sometimes her pop-pop. She quickly looked around at the place, trying to find a way to escape fast, until she finally found it. A window. She then opened it, and was ready to escape, but as soon as she was ready to head out and make a run for it, a shadow appeared right behind her, suddenly stopping her. “Hey! I said don’t try anything funny!” The guy grabbed Lucy and pulled her outside harshly. ‘Drat. I should’ve walked through the door like Lydia.’ Lucy thought, mentally facepalming herself, while she winced as the guy pulled her onstage.

But Lucy looked to see the ladybug-themed-dressed girl throwing her yo-yo and hitting the extension cord, cutting off all the power. And with the guy focusing his attention on the ladybug-themed girl, this finally gives her the opportunity to quickly hide so he wouldn’t find her and trap her in his grasp again, with this chance, she quickly crawls behind the stage and hides for her life. She sighs in relief as she is now free from this. Meanwhile, the ladybug-themed-dressed girl Meanwhile, the ladybug-themed heroine started to confront the guy. “Sorry, Bubbler, but the party’s over!” she announced. “Why you gotta be like that?” Then, the guy, who was apparently named the Bubbler, started looking around for the girl he was always eyeing on since he first saw her in the beginning. Turning around and looking every which way, he turns to the ladybug-themed-dressed girl, glaring deadly daggers at her, believing that she has done something to make her disappear. “Where did she go?!” he yelled, causing the ladybug-themed heroine to look at him, confused about who he’s talking about.

“Not now, Bubbler! Get her miraculous!” the man in his head yelled to him. The Bubbler groans and pulls his bubble stick out. As he throws bubbles at the ladybug-themed heroine while she easily dodges them, Lucy winces as they fight. She might’ve learned a lot of fighting experiences since back as a child since living in Japan, to learning to become a fighter at the age of nine from some friends and a man with pink hair, even she finds this sorta easy, yet very difficult now seeing a cat-themed-dressed guy joining in the fight siding with the ladybug-themed-dressed girl and were trapped in a bubble from the Bubbler. After a quick bicker between them, the two were floating off with the rest of the adults. And just her luck, she was grabbed by the arm, and was pulled into the Bubbler’s arms.

The Bubbler then looked around at the people, “Where is everybody?! Now get out here and party!” he demanded. However, before anyone could even make a move and start with one sentence, they were all stopped by a familiar voice above them. “Sorry to burst your bubble,” the ladybug-themed-dressed girl spoke, cheekily smiling at the Bubbler. She and the cat-themed-dressed guy had eventually found a way out of the bubble, and now they were going to protect the people in Paris once again. The two then glanced at Lucy, wondering what her deal was, since they figured that the Bubbler seemed pretty interested in her, which made her the one who was in immediate danger right now. Fortunately, the Bubbler was mostly focusing on the two of them, right in front of him. The teens were chanting the ladybug-themed-dressed girl, which turns out to actually be Ladybug, and Lucy happily applauded for both hers and the cat-themed-dressed guy’s effort. The Bubbler, on the other hand, growled, not only at the fact the two were still alive, but at the fact they were taking Lucy’s attention away from him.

“No one wants to party with you anymore, Bubbler.” Ladybug said, placing a hand on her hip. “What’s wrong with you guys? Why you gotta be such haters?” “With all due respect, Bubbler, but what you did to everyone, taking away all the adults, forcing everyone here to enjoy the party against their will, and lastly-” Lucy was then cut off by a bubble swallowing her up along with the other kids being swallowed up by other bubbles. “Outer space is the next step for your precious peeps. And they’re never coming back!” The Bubbler yelled, lifting everyone’s bubbles into the air. All except Lucy, as she remained lower than the rest of the others. The Bubbler bolts away while everyone’s bubbles float dismally into the air, meanwhile Lucy’s slowly follows the Bubbler. The Bubbler jumped to the eiffel tower as Ladybug and the cat-themed-dressed guy followed as they landed on the bottom. The Bubbler launched red bubbles towards them as they dodged by jumping from side to side on the steel while climbing as they took one final strong jump and landed on an open area of the tower.

However, hearing the one sound that neither of them, nor the voice in the Bubbler’s head, ever expected to hear. A loud gunshot was heard and was now ringing in their ears, making them freeze from their stances. As they turned to see what it was, they were shocked to realize that the girl the Bubbler was taking interest in, used an outdated firearm to pop the bubble she was in. And from the look on her face, she was already having enough of the chaos that she was in. And in the blink of an eye, the girl was now plummeting to the ground, raising her hands up, turning the back of both of her hands, and having her index finger up, middle fingers down, pinky up, thumb in a standard rock ‘n’ roll salute, yet, it’s not in a rock ‘n’ roll salute, and she started screaming the words at the top of her lungs while falling to her doom, “I WILL ALWAYS REGRET NOTHING!”

As Lucy was now falling to her doom, she started thinking about what she did, as she knows that what she has done was one of the stunts from the late Death Arise actress, Lucille “Luci” Grassette. ‘I just hope Lucille Grassette doesn’t mind me using one of her old phrases. All the gods, rest her soul and may she rest in peace. However, I just don’t understand how that stunt was never shown in the trilogy. I was surprised that Lyddie found that footage, and I know I shouldn’t ask how and where she got it, but still…’ Lucy’s thoughts were then cut off when she was caught by a pair of arms. Those being the arms of the cat-themed-dressed guy. After the cat-themed-dressed guy sets her down, he starts to study her, wondering why his friend had a particular interest in her. He will admit to himself that the girl in front of him was definitely, undeniably attractive. From her long luxious deep brunette hair that seemed beautiful when it was being thrown around in the wind, to her gorgeous deep brown eyes that seemed to hold every emotion but fear. And the firearm she used to get herself out of the bubble was something he never expected her to do. “The name’s Chat Noir, m’lady. It’s  a pleasure to meet you.” he greeted, bringing up the girl’s hand to kiss it. “Charmed.” Lucy responded, “Lucy Corleone.” After the introductions, a light of ladybugs started spreading over the city, bringing all the adults back from the bubbles, back to the ground safe and sound, and reuniting the parents with their children. Ladybug then landed next to him with the boy, who is back to normal and not that Bubbler person anymore. Ladybug then hands Lucy something with a smile. “I believe this belongs to you.” Lucy’s eyes lit up with joy and relief, to see that it was her cake, still in one piece as it was when she first got it from the bakery. As she takes it, she bows to Ladybug gratefully saying, “Thank you so much. Well, I must be off. Thank you two for everything!” With that, Lucy headed off to head home.

When she got home, she immediately head into the new family kitchen and puts the cake in the new fridge, she then heads upstairs to her bedroom to change from her outfit, to one of her house outfits, a navy blue below the knee length designer coquette dress, one of her four friends gave her on one shopping spree, matching designer kitten heels, silver pearl stud earrings, a pearl necklace with a silver heart locket, and she is still wearing her silver bracelet with the silver infinity charm on her left wrist. After changing to her evening outfit, Lucy then starts to work on her chores. Starting with cleaning and dusting her bedroom. Through a whole hour, Lucy finished  sweeping,mopping, and vacuuming the floors, taking out the trash, dusting the rooms, washing, drying, ironing,  and folding the clean laundry, washing the windows of the house (mansion, but Lucy prefers to call is a house), Lucy look at the antique clock from the family living room to see that she still has enough time to cook dinner for her family, since her family was out meeting someone for their business starting tomorrow, and might’ve finally made it back to the city safely after everything that she, and possibly they had to go through. With that in mind, she quickly gets one of her cookbooks, picks out one good meal to make for her family, gets the ingredients, and starts cooking. After a while of kneading, rolling the dough, using the pasta machine, that one of her friends and her (her friend’s) father got for her and her (Lucy’s) family, boiling, mincing the meat, chopping, stir frying, and adding the last of the ingredients while it simmers, the meal was finished. When it was, Lucy set the table right on time while she heard the door opening and her family walked in. The family looked surprised to see Lucy, looking happy to see them again. “Welcome home!” she says, along with putting the finished meal of spaghetti bolognese on the table with the salad and warm garlic bread. “Lucy, you made all of this, dear?” her mother asked her. Lucy nods, “I didn’t want you all to wait a while, so I hurriedly finished up my chores and did what I must.” the family smiled, always knowing her too well, along with knowing she always has a golden heart.

After that, the family all sat down, eating the wonderful home cooked meal Lucy prepared for them, and shared their day with one another. “So, Lucy-bella, what about you? Did you get acquainted with the city?” her grandmother asked her. “Why, yes, nonna.” Lucy says, mentally sweatdropping, trying her best not to tell her family about what and how her day really was. After a while of finishing their portions of dinner, Lucy then takes the cake she got out of the fridge and her family were smiling in delight. After enjoying the cake, Lucy helped her mother and grandmother out with washing the dishes, drying them, and putting them back up in their proper place, Lucy went back to her room, changed into her nightwear, and went to her desk to write a letter to her friends back in London, and her cousin who is in the south of France with her three uncles and aunt. She writes in detail about how her start of liking living in Paris all went downhill. How she met this boy who blew bubbles until he turned into this odd bubble-themed supervillain who trapped adults into bubbles and sent them up into the sky, possibly up to space even. Along with forcing kids there to party and have fun at a birthday party against their will, or else they join the rest of the adults. Additionally, the moments that he became clingy onto her for no apparent reason whatsoever. She then proceeded to write about Ladybug and Chat Noir, and how they both saved countless lives of others. Trying her best not to confess that she used her Walther P38 to get herself out of the bubble the Bubbler put her in. Since, knowing her pop-pop too well, he would pretty much find out himself and lecture her about using firearms. But in her case, she would’ve told him it was for self defense, and would hope to have the witnesses from the scene back her up about it. After knowing that, Lucy continues on writing the letter to her cousin and friends.

The next morning, Lucy went and did her usual morning routine, and changing into a white long sleeve shirt, a long sky-blue overall dress with the hem long over the knees, knee wedge-boots, and lastly, putting her silver stud pearl earrings and silver infinity bracelet on her left wrist, she then proceeded to grab her two bookbags, one holding her books for her to read, while the other holds her school supplies, after grabbing her bags, she heads downstairs for breakfast. There, she sees her family already up before her, doing their usual breakfast routine. Her mother and grandmother having a good conversation about what they would do in Paris, her godmother cooking breakfast for the five of them, and her father reading the newspaper while sipping on his cup of coffee. “Good morning, Lucy-bella.” “Good morning.” Lucy says, sitting down at the table. After talking to her family and having breakfast with them, she bids a farewell to them and heads off to school. After her family helped her get the courage to go to the school and see how it’s like, she agreed. The best part, to her, was that there’s a nearby mailbox to mail her letters to her cousin and friends while heading to school. As she finally arrives, she grabs the brochure out of her Bernstein Academy bookbag, she looks at the image of the school building in the brochure, then turns to her right to see it’s the same school building. After looking at the brochure then at the building one more time, nodding, confirming it, she heads into the school building, not aware of the sudden commotion going on outside behind her.

‘You can do this, Lucy.’ she thought to herself with confidence, running through her veins.

Of Being a Ladybug 1.5

Happy Holiday’s! Here is my gift to you!

Previous  Masterlist 

The class, Then 

Monday of the attack

Adrien smiled, satisfied that Marinette hadn’t done anything. He shook his head, ‘really, what could she have done?’ he asked himself. Marinette was a great girl and had designed for or worked with a few famous people, but he doubted that they even remembered a lowly baker’s daughter. He sure didn’t remember most of his fans. He shrugged. Alya really should have just fact checked. Probably an over-zealous fan that sent it to one of the actors mentioned. Marinette also wouldn’t do anything that could hurt Alya. He got to the class and stopped short at the door. There were a lot of long faces in there.

Alya was sobbing into Nino’s shoulder.

Rose was quietly heaving into Juleka’s shoulder as well. Not so much sobbing, but still very upset.

Max sat tense, glaring at his phone, looking like he might set it on fire.

Kim glared ahead at the bored.

Mylene, for once, looked stronger than all the class and like she might punch somebody.

Adrien was confused. As far as he knew or remembered, only Alya had a real reason to be this upset. He frowned.

“Nino? What’s going on? Why is everyone so upset?” Adrien asked, completely lacking the social understanding to perhaps ask someone else. Who wasn’t holding their+

3 crying girlfriend. Nino just glared at him.

It was Alix who answered, “Seriously Adrien? Read the fucking mood. And to answer your question, Lila Fucking Rossi.”

“I don’t understand. What did Lila do?” Adrien asked, passing over the first comment. He just wanted answers.

“Marinette was right. Like always, she was right. Lila is a liar, and a bad liar at that. We were idiots and all fell for it. Rose lost her friendship with Prince Ali because she bought Lila’s tales. Alya is being sued for slander. Mylene and Ivan contributed to her “go green” projects, only for none of them to be legit. Max is being investigated by the school for letting Kim cheat off him and Kim got kicked off the team for it. Then the school NERD club got wind of the napkin incident and apparently even Superman and Wonder Woman can’t throw a napkin hard enough to take out somebody’s eye. And me? I was told I would be meeting pro skater Esmee Visser. We should have listened to Marinette” Alix shook her head. Mari had warned them. Warned them not to cheat, not to listen to Lila, to work their own way up. Marinette always worked so hard but made it all look so easy.

The whole class bowed their heads. Mylene had ended her friendship with Marinette on Tuesday the week before, because Marinette had suggested that she and Ivan not give their combined 400 Euros to Lila’s charity. This morning, Mylene had seen the news coverage of over fifteen people suing Lila Rossi and by extension, Alya Cesaire, for slander, defamation and theft. Lila had been going around getting things put onto tabs for famous people to pay off, claiming she was a niece, goddaughter or assistant.

They waited for Marinette or Lila to come into the class. Marinette so they could apologize. Lila so they could beat her up. When the warning bell rang, and Ms. Bustier entered the room, nobody even batted an eye. When the last bell rang, and Marinette still wasn’t there, they worried. When the sound of a car being tossed through a building reached their ears, the students evacuated.

Alya rushed to the scene. The Ladyblog may be shut down, but she could start fresh. Maybe Ladybug would even call on Rena Rouge! When she got to the scene, Vipereon was hidden on a building with… was that… a new fox? Alya almost started crying again. Another hero made her way there. A new bee, it looked like. And another, a new turtle too. When Ladybug arrived with the dragon, the team huddled for a minute before breaking apart to fight. Alya snuck closer as she watched Guilty Conscience coming at the heroes.

“I never wanted to be a hero. I feel horrible when I have to lie to protect my identity because I hate liars. I wish I had never met the Master or been picked to be Ladybug or had managed to give the Miraculous away before I got too serious. I hate what this has turned me into, I wish I could go back to just being Marinette…”

Alya gasped. Oh! OH! She shut off her video and turned. She’d wanted to earn back her title as a journalist. But not like this. She ran back to her apartment. Not like this.

As Tuesday morning dawned, the class was sitting together again. Adrien kept looking at the door expectantly. If Chat Noir payed a visit to the bakery last night, no body would know. Namely because nobody was there. Adrien’s foot bounced. The minute she walked through the door; he would confess to her.

Nino looked sideways at Adrien. He knew his boy was a bit starstruck with Ladybug. Did he really expect her to come to school, though? Nobody seemed to notice that Juleka was also missing.

Class started, only to be interrupted again when the principle announced all classes should turn on their TVs to the news.

“Good Morning Paris. We interrupt your scheduled programming to bring you breaking news,” on the screen was Lois Lane, world renowned reporter. “This morning, the Mayor of Paris was able to welcome for the first time, Justice League Members Batman and Wonder Woman, to Paris. Already, the world’s greatest detective is solving the matter of ‘who is Hawkmoth?’ and ‘where is he hiding?’. The investigation was started early this morning and is still ongoing now, however, the heroes are confident the matter will be resolved by end of day today. League intervention is also being given to the local Parisian heroes, who are being folded into the League system. The now dubbed Miracle Team will be receiving regular training and adult supervision from the American Heroes. On other news… One moment please. We are now going live to the traffic copter, which has caught sight of Wonder Woman storming a mansion in the heart of Paris. Jean, what can you tell us about the current situation?”

“Thank you, Lois! I am here, on scene as Wonder Woman storms the Agreste Mansion. Parisian’s will remember that Monsier Agreste was Akumatized as the Collector a few months ago. He certainly isn’t putting up any fight, it looks like. And there is Nathalie Sancour. Both are coming out with their hands up. It looks like Monsiour Agreste is doing all the talking. Ms. Sancour is going down in what appears to be a coughing fit! Police is also arriving on the scene. An arrest has been made. I repeat. An arrest has been made! A police car is pulling off, and looks to be heading to Francois-Dupont, commonly dubbed the Akuma school. If I am not mistaken, it is the same school that Gabriel Agreste’s only son, Adrien Agreste attends! AH, one moment. It looks like Wonder Woman is going into the mansion. Paramedics are also pulling up on scene. Ms. Sancour is being taken into an ambulance, but the other set of paramedics is running into the mansion as well. Is that?! It is! Lois, and watchers, for those of you who do not know, this is Emilie Agreste, the wife of Gabriel and mother of Adrien. She went missing and was declared dead three years ago. Paramedics are now rushing her prone body to the ambulance…”

The news continued, but the class was distracted by the door being thrust open. Officer Raincomprix and his partner entered.

“Adrien Agreste, you are under arrest for suspicion on working with Hawkmoth. You have the right to remain silent. Everything you say can and will be used against you” the officer stated, placing the cuffs on a stunned Adrien Agreste. His mouth hung open. What…? And then he heard the whispers.

“He was supposed to start school the day of the first Akuma…”

“Always defending the bully…”

“Never there during attacks…”

He shook his head mutely. NO! He was a hero!

The class watched mutely. Two in two days.

*!!*

Because he was a minor and could prove, behind closed doors, that he was in fact Chat Noir, Adrien was acquitted and sent to live with his Aunt Amilie and Cousin Felix Graham de Vanily. He took off the Miraculous ring. Plagg had told him Ladybug would need her cat. So, he put the ring in the mail to be sent off to Wilhelm with a letter explaining everything. He heard through the news that the Dupain-Cheng family had left Paris in a rush. Nobody was quite sure where they went, though most guessed to China. When he landed in London, Adrien had no idea what to expect. He hadn’t seen Felix since his mother’s funeral. He had also heard that Felix’s father had died not long ago. Felix and Amilie greeted him at the airport with smiles. He smiled and dared to hope.

*!!*

Alya watched the footage of Marinette revealing herself again. She sighed. Adrien Agreste was publicly deemed innocent and sent away. Lila Rossi, while facing several lawsuits, was only being sent to a remedial school at the outskirts of Paris. Lila’s mother, who had been akumatized as Guilty Conscience, almost lost her job. As it was now, diplomatic immunity was the only thing keeping her from being investigated further for child neglect. Alya was still facing the law herself, but being a minor, she was only facing some fines and heavy warnings, but otherwise she was also grounded until she was eighteen. Her parents were disappointed, her sisters avoided her most of the time. School had become her only escape. But even there was no escape from everything that had happened. Marinette was no longer there, and Ms. Bustier was under investigation for the amount of Akumatizations in her class. Mr. Damoclese was as well, for mismanaged funding to the school. Turns out his Owl suit and “weapons” were being funded from donations to the school. The class was split up into different classes too. Divide and conquer. Alya sighed. They weren’t really allowed to interact with each other, for fear of it causing more trouble. But most of the other students didn’t want to interact with them either. Alya had never noticed it, but their class was isolated by the rest of the school.

*!!*

Luka sighed as he watched Marinette walk into the Zeta Tube, her head bowed. Paris had ruined Marinette. He brushed his hair back and looked at Juleka. The news had confirmed that Gabriel Agreste was Hawkmoth, but he had given his Miraculous to Nathalie to get rid of. They were pawned off to another party, but Gabriel had no idea who, and Nathalie went under and into a coma like Mrs. Agreste.

The League told them that they would be receiving training and supervision, as there were Miraculous everywhere now. They would be needed to step in. Luka being the oldest was made the leader, despite not having the ladybug miraculous. He sighed. What a shit show.

Bruce closed the journal and replaced it in the secret compartment in the desk. He turned to the bed behind him, where his newest ward was fast asleep, tear tracks staining her young face. He wanted to rage at Diana and Clark. He’d petitioned to have Marinette live with him from the beginning, but had been denied because Diana’s mother had been a Ladybug. Reading about what Diana had done to the poor girl, all with good intentions but completely misguided, Bruce was ready to wage war. Marinette had been through emotional hell. He would make sure to do better by her. He swore then that he would give her a family.

Watch as their lives Change as they become the new heroes of Paris alongside Ladybug and see how Romance sprouts between the two models.

Part 1  

{Y/n' POV}

Adrian and I were running down the street of our house trying to get to school on time. Why are we running to school in a rush when we could just take our personal driver? You may ask? Well, we aren't really allowed to attend school, so we snuck out of the mansion together with all our supplies and bags. We saw the School entrance and smiled at each other before starting to slow down and walk-in. "Adrien, Y/n, please reconsider! You know what your father and godfather want!" "This is what we wanna do!" Adrian said as I nodded and continued walking before we saw an old man lying on the road reaching for his crane. Adrian and I looked at each other and nodded before we took both sides of the old man and helped him up as I picked up his crane and gave it to him. "Thank you, young man and women" we smiled back at the old man before turning back to Natalie. "We just wanna go to school like everybody else. What's so wrong with that? " I said sadly. "Please don't tell my father about this" Adrian said as we sadly walked into the car and drove back to the Mansion we were imprisoned in. Unknown to us the old man we helped before stood in front of the mansion as we went in for our homeschool class, with two boxes that would change our entire lives. Adrian and I were in the middle of Natalie's history lesson as we listened to while we were still bummed out about the whole not going to school thing. "Who was the first president of the 5th French Republic?" "Everyone thinks it was de Gaulle, " Adrian started bored. "but it was actually René Coty before the first elections" I finished off for him. "excellent Adrian, Y/n"  I sighed as I saw my godfather aka Adrian's dad Mr.Agreste come in. "Give me a minute, would you, Nathalie?" Natalie nodded at Mr.Agreste. "yes, sir" Natalie left leaving Adrian and me with Mr.Agreste. "You are both NOT going to school. I already told you two"  Adrian and I stood up in protest. "but father/Sir!" "Everything you both need is right here where I can keep an eye on you two. I will not have you both outside in that dangerous world." "It's not dangerous, father. We're always stuck in here with nothing but each other and sometimes we can't even see each other. Why can't we go on and live life just like everybody else?" " Adrian said. "Because you are not like everyone else! You are my son and goddaughter! Continue."  Mr.Agreste left as Natalie came back. "We can leave it there if you have-" before she could finish Adrian and I ran back to our rooms, as tears rolled down my cheeks" "It isn't fair!" I yelled at myself as soon as I shut my door and threw myself on the couch. "why can't we live our lives as teens?" I wiped my tears before I turned on the TV not noticing the box right in front of me on the desk. "As incredible as it seems, it's been confirmed that Paris is indeed being attacked by a supervillain. The police have been struggling to keep the situation under control" I gasped at the news. "Super Villain?" After a second I noticed a strange black box on the desk in front of me. "huh? What's this doing here?" I opened the box as a grey light came out of it making me look away and drop the box to shield my eyes. "hey!" I looked at where the greeting came from to see...a grey floating fox?!?

I was about to scream before it flew quickly at me and covered my mouth. " Don't freak out! Please! I have had enough of new holders screaming whenever seeing me for the first time!" I nodded and grabbed the little grey fox and moved it away from my face. "so, are you like a genie? Do you grant wishes? Or are you just some small animal trapped in a-" I looked at the box to see a silver bracelet with a silver paw print in the middle. "really pretty bracelet." "I met him once, so what if he grants wishes, big bore. I'm way better than that guy" I looked at the little fox shook. "a genie... Exists?!" "so your surprised that exists but not questioning mines? Wow, I'm totally not offended" I chuckled nervously while I scratched the back of my neck sheepishly. "Sorry, it's just I read a lot of fairy tales of Genies, I never knew it really did it existed" "yeah yeah, whatever. Anyways the names Alpha" "I'm-" "Y/n, I know" "How did you know-" "I'm your kwami, of course, I would know your name" "What's a kwami?" I sat back down as Alpha stood floating in front of me. "A kwami is an ancient creature that grants the holder a special power, yours is the power of balance, you balance the power of destruction and creation, making sure there aren't too much of either of them." "what can I do, specifically?" "well, you wield a staff that can split into two like the ring miraculous and can take form into any weapon you like, except you have a different special ability called moon wolf when you say the word you can go invisible for 30 seconds only." "cool!" "but! There's a downside." "bad downside or is it not that bad?" I nervously said scared I might get severely ill or maybe I might get super tired every transformation. " it's not that bad, it's just you got five minutes until you detransform after using your special ability" "oh...thats not that bad I guess" I picked up the box and took out the silver bracelet and placed it on.

"So how does this work?"

"This is your miraculous, the grey fox miraculous. Using this would change you in to your superhero outfit complete with a mask and all that pizazz"

"Cool, how do I do that?"

"Just say, "Alpha, Tails out" then bam superhero"

"Okay, Alpha!-" Alpha covered my mouth again.

"Wait! before you do that, you need a hero name"

"right, but what should I name for myself"

"how about Lady Fox, like the last holder?"

"Lady Fox? I like the sound of that"

"Okay, now you can transform"

"Great! Alpha! Tails Out!" After I transformed I looked at my body mirror in awe.

"Now to test it out" I opened my window and looked around to see if anyone's watching before I hopped off and started jump building to building. I then saw a girl in a ladybug patterned suit as well as a boy in a black leather suit, both of them in masks. tied up in a yoyo string. I smirked as I stealthy walked over to them. "I'm guessing you two are my new teammates? they looked at me surprised. the red suit girl seemed nervous while the boy looked at me excited.  

"can you help us, g-get untied?" the girl asked. I nodded and pulled the tip of the string letting them free as they fell down. The cat boy came up to me and kissed my hand to which I blushed before I hid it and took back my hand.

"Thanks, umm"

"Lady Fox, you?"

"Chat Noir, at your service M'lady"  he bowed. So he's a flirty gentleman, I'll have to watch my back with him.

"I'm Ma... err... Mar... uhh..." The red suit girl pulled on her yoyo before it landed on Chat's head making me giggle as she looked at him apologetically.  " Madly Clumsy. I'm so clumsy."

"No sweat, clumsy girl. We're learning the ropes too." I nodded to Chat's reply.

"We can't be perfect at anything first try, right?" The ground began to tremble as we saw a building fall from afar. Chat and I nodded as we used out staffs to get up the building nearby from the ground.

" Hey! Where are you two going?"

"To save Paris, right?" I yelled back before Chat and I continued running. When we got to the source of the noise we saw the stone monster chasing a guy before the guy tripped. Chat extended his staff stopping the stone monster from reaching the guy. I used my staff to land next to the guy.

"Come on" I grabbed his arm and helped him up as I swung him to safety.

"Who are you?" He asked before I winked at him with a grin.

"Lady Fox" Before any more could be said I swung away to join to battle to see stone heart throw a net at a brown-haired girl who seemed to be recording. I gasped as I threw my staff to stop it from hurting her. "Are you okay, miss?" She nodded as she gaped at me in awe. but I soon got grabbed by the stone monster as did Chat as we got squished together. I looked at him with a blush creeping up as he grinned at me awkwardly before we looked away trying to move less so as not to get closer together. Ladybug soon came and used her yoyo to throw Stone monster down getting us freed.

"Animal cruelty? How shameful!"  I grinned at Ladybug's reply as I stood next to her next to a net. "Sorry it took so long, Cat Noir, Lady Fox" I nodded and smiled.

" It's cool, Wonderbug. Now, let's kick his rocky behind!" I sighed and grabbed Chat's tail.

"Hold on, kitty. Didn't you just see? he gets bigger and stronger with every attack."

"Lady Fox is right Chat Noir. We have to do something different"  

"Different how?" Chat asked as he rubbed his tail.

" Uhhh... I don't know." I thought about a plan while Chat noir decided to get cocky.

"Okay then. Let's use our powers. Cataclysm! Apparently I destroy whatever I touch."

"Chat wait-" I tried to stop him before he touched the net. great, that was his last shot. didn't he listen to his kawami? You only get one shot or time to use special powers.

"Cool. It's just you and me now! Time to rumble, soon-to-be rubble!" I face palmed as I sighed.

"Cat Noir! Wait!" Chat Noir either didn't hear or ignored Ladybug as he leaped and touched the stone monster, thinking he could still use his powers. Seems he finally realized that as he kept touching the stone monster.

"Uh-oh. I guess I only get one shot to use my power." Chat Noir smiled sheepishly before Stone Monster threw him back at us as I quickly got out of the way as he landed on the net.

"And you only have five minutes before you transform back. Didn't your kwami explain anything to you?"

"I guess I was a little excited about my new life."  

"Well, up to me. Lucky Charm!" A suit appeared in Ladybug's hands.

"Superpower?"

" My kwami told me I have to break the object where the whatchama-call-it... er, the Akuma is hiding."  

"Well, he's made entirely out of stone." Chat's right, he is entirely out of stone, I looked closely before noticing something. but his right hand is always shut. earlier when he took me, he avoided holding me and chat in the same hand, and held us both in his left hand. in fact he's been keeping his left hand to himself the entire time, like a Russian doll.

"His right hand, it's still closed. He never opens it. It's like the Russian dolls. The object isn't on him, it's hidden in his fist!" I exclaimed Ladybug caught on and nodded.

"Lady Fox is right"

"So what's your plan?" Chat asked. I smiled and stepped back for Ladybug to do her thing.

"This." Ladybug grabbed the hose under hoe and tied it to the suit. I looked at her as I soon realized what she was going to do and I nodded as she smiled. I turned my staff into a rope as I used to grab around Chat's legs.

"Don't resist. Trust me." I spun and around and threw chat into the stone monster.

"THIS GIRL'S CRAZY!"  Ladybug then ran.

"Catch me if you can!" Ladybug jumped making stone monster drop the item to grab ladybug. "Lady Fox! Now!" I nodded as I used my power.

"Moon Wolf!" I turned invisible so that the stone monster won't be able to try to touch me as I grabbed the item, making it look for it confused as I turned on the tap filling up the suit Ladybug had. letting Ladybug go. Once I was sure she was free, I threw the stone on the groundbreaking it. As we both watched it fly away as the stone monster changed back into a boy, making Chat fall.

"This girl is awesome, Crazy awesome" The broken stone pieces I had in my hand changed back into a paper as I smiled and walked the boy. Chat walked up to me and Ladybug.

"You two were in incredible, Lady Fox, and Miss uh bug lady, you did it!" I shook my head.

"No, We did it"

"Pound it!" We all said with a smile as Chat's ring and my bracelet began to beep.

"You two should get going. Our identities must remain secret."

"Farewell, m'lady. Let's do this again soon, okay?" Chat and I began to run, in the same direction home?

"Um, you live near here?"  I said as we made it to my home.

"Uh yeah" Why isn't he moving, doesn't he have to get home.

"um, shouldn't you get home?"

"What about you? I want to make sure you get home alright"

"No need, I-" My bracelet began to beep making me get nervous. I looked around before I thought out an idea. "Bye!" I ran all the way behind the mansion as I heard his footsteps leave. Strange how we ended up in the same place. I looked to make sure if he was gone before I ran back to my window as I heard my door knock as I changed back. I quickly hid Alpha who seemed tired as I sat on the couch casually.

"Come in!" I saw Adrian as I looked at him surprised. he never really came in my room before, after we became models we rarely have time for each other as we did when we were kids, it was like we were purposely being split apart. "Adrian?"

"Hey, Y/n. Long time since I came in here huh?" Adrian smiled as he laughed a bit making me grin.

"Yeah, I missed seeing you a lot. It's like we've grown apart"

"And now I want us to be together"

"What do you mean?"

"I missed you, and I need my best friend again" I smiled as I patted a spot on the couch for him to sit which he did.

"I missed you too, blondie" Adrian chuckled.

"It feels nice to see you call me that again" I smiled teasingly.

"oh you do? pancake?"

"Okay, now I think you're getting a bit carried away with the nicknames"  

"How so? Goldie locks?"

"Y/n...." We looked at each other before we both ended up laughing. "This time, nobody is ever going to separte us, not even my father"

"Pinky promise?" I stook out my pinky as he chuckled as he locked his pinky with mine.

"Pinky promise"

"Well, we can start with a sleepover later?" Adrian nodded.

"I'll go get my things" I smiled as he walked out. Alpha came out and tired walked over to me.

"Yyyyy/nnnnn!" He whined as I rolled my eyes.

"Yes?"

"I want brownies"

"I'll get my chef to bring some" I called in a chef with the com installed in my room as he brought the brownies quickly. I thanked him as I closed the door and gave him the brownies as requested. "Happy?"

"Very" I rolled my eyes as I turned on the TV.

"These victims transformed into stone beings are still like statues. The police are perplexed to what will happen to them. Will they come back to life or be frozen in time forever?

I looked at the TV confused. More stone beings? I thought we defeated it.

"Hey Alpha, I thought we were finished with that guy, why is it still going?"

"Did you capture the Akuma?" He said as he munched on a brownie.

" What's capturing the Akuma got to do with the other stone beings?"

"An Akuma can multiply, that's why it must be captured. If the boy's emotions become negative again, then the Akuma will turn him back into Stoneheart! He'll control all the stone beings and bring them to life to serve as his army!"

"Is there anything I can do about it"

"Well usually Ladybug has to do it, but you can too. You can use your staff as a net and catch all of them. but sadly you can't this time. It's all up to Ladybug."

"I can only come in when it's out of hand huh, well i hope Ladybug is up for it too"

"Me too Y/n, Me too"

End of the Year Tag

So....I was tagged by @saijspellhart....never done one of these before so here goes nothing.

~favourite food?~

Okay, so I am a Minnesota raised girl and do love a good wild rice hotdish (and yes there is a difference between hotdish and casserole and if you don’t know, let me know so I can explain!). However my favorite food is either pupusas or pozole (latino cuisine). Both of them I over eat when my godchildren cook them for me and never regret it!

~favourite drink?~

Ummmm....Diet Pespi. Yeah, we won’t get into how cranky I get if I don’t have at least one pop a day. My godsons might have a story or two about how possessive I get in the late morning over my can of pop on the weekends....

~favourite clothing?~

My Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fleece pants and my long sleeve Cuddle-Duds. Comfort for the win. After a long day of dealing with people, nothing is more comforting than cozy wear. 

~favourite product?~

.....Pespi?.....I think. Does that count when you are an addict? Like can a pot head say that their favorite product is potbrownies? If not, I would say Google! Because it owns me and my information searching needs. After all, if you don’t know something, Lord Google will know it. Thus, All Hail Lord Google!

~favourite month?~

I’ve never thought about it. I guess you could say I like March. It was the month I was born and I like the little myth that comes with the month. The month of the Lion and the Lamb. My grandmother (a wonderful mother to 11 and a farmer in Northern MN) would always tell me that you knew how the month would go in the very beginning. If the weather was shitty and roaring at the start, it would leave calm and sweet at the end. Or in other words, if March came in like a Lion, it would leave like a Lamb. Of course, the opposite applies as well. If this is true, I honestly couldn’t say. I think it does, but I’m already bias so who really knows?

~favourite season?~

I’m fond of either Spring or Fall. It’s not too cold, but it’s not too hot. You really get those glorious days where the sun is shining, the air is crisp, and there is a magnitude of colors everywhere. It is just rejuvenating. 

~favourite holiday?~

I’m partial to Easter. And before you ask, yes I happen to be Christian, BUT that is not why I like the holiday. I like Easter because it symbolizes rebirth. It symbolizes a new beginning, a fresh start. When you go into this season, you might have just experienced a shitty winter or the pervious year was just horrific. Thus, your soul is all crusty and flaky and thinking that nothing gets better. Then this season of new beginnings start and there are baby animals, new flowers, laughing children, and brightly colored eggs everywhere! It is a reminder that life is nothing more than a cycle. Yes, horrible things can and will happen to you. Yes, it will be dark and sad to deal with it all. Winter, both figuratively (in your heart/soul) and literally, SUCK ASS! But! BUT! There will always be a moment of something new. Something bright. Something colorful. Something living. Something that will bring you up out of the ground of cold despair and into the light of a new beginning. Even if it is for a moment, it is there. Easter is the holiday/season that best represents what it means to be human. A shitty start that only turns into the brightest and warms of sun rays. And that is my Ted Talk, thank you for listening.

~favourite place?~

Minnehaha Falls! Gooseberry Falls! Or any waterfall. I adore waterfalls. The sound of crashing water and rushing waves drowning out bad thoughts. The scent of crisp water pulling you into the moment. The sensations of moving water rumbling in your chest. The sight of dancing sprites in the sky as water droplets create rainbows. Cold water taking the heat from your body only to leave a pleasant tingle in its wake. *blush**cough* I’ll stop with the poetry now.

~best experience?~

So, I took a trip to Scotland with my Father at the beginning of this year. I would definitely say that was my best experience of 2018.

~best song?~

Best song? Of all time or this year? This year I really like Burning Man by Dierks Bentley. Of all time, you can’t beat the Hokey Pokey. It is a must have dance song at every public gathering. I have no shame when I say that I request it and drag EVERYONE to the dance floor. 

~best movie?~

We have to clarify this nonsense for next year. Honestly, it’s just too vague. Best movie? This year? Of all time? Genre? Or is it just me that over thinks this stuff? *sigh* Okay, I thought Black Panther was extremely good, not just because it was an excellent superhero movie, had amazing female leads, astonishing action sequences, and wonderful humor. It really made me think about how hatred can pass down through the generations. It made me reevaluate how I teach my students in karate class and how I speak with/to them about social problems. Since most of them are immigrants or children of immigrants, it was an eye opening experience. Let’s leave it at that.

~best series?~

TV series right? (again with the over thinking simple questions) I really enjoyed Miraculous Ladybug, Voltron, How to Train Your Dragon, The Dragon Prince, and My Hero Academia. Granted, I also rewatch a bunch of anime classics as I taught the ways of being a nerd to my godsons. I’m proud to say that we have finally left the realm of Naruto and moved on to the great chasm that is known as Deathnote and One Piece.

~best book?~

Okay, so this one is exciting for me. I was suffering Tumblr and found a post that simple said “if Deadpool wrote a book, this would be it.” So of course, the ten year that still loves poop jokes and crude humor in me scream in joy and bought the book. It is called “Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes: A No-Bullshit Guide to World Mythology” by Cory O’Brien. I wish I could find the link so you could read some excerpts from it. I’ll just have to quote it.

“So one night Uranus is about to get busy with Gaia again I guess so he can father another baby and then stuff it back into her but instead of getting sex he gets a SURPRISE PENISECTOMY”

“So the moral of the story is that if you are not ready to be a father consider all of your options before skipping directly to cannibalism”

“ARE YOU READY FOR DISTENDED RACCOON TESTICLES? NO? WELL, YOU BETTER GET READY QUICK BECAUSE JAPAN JUST CALLED AND IT’S ‘BOUT TO DELIVER ONE WHOPPER OF A BALLSACK TO THE BAINPAN”

“So the moral of the story is that we should seriously consider firing the moon because I didn’t know we could do that and I bet we have the technology now to genetically engineer a WAY BETTER MOON than some dumb rabbit.”

So...10/10, greatest book I’ve read this year

~best video game?~

I don’t play many video games. Frankly, if it is not a bashing the buttons kind of game, I’m no good at it. Thus, I really like Shounen Jump battle game. I can hit random buttons while having no real skills. I also like watching people play them. That would lead me to Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Such a pretty game!

~have you unlearned any bad habits?~

hahahaha...oh, are you serious?

~biggest disappointment?~

I didn’t get back into college like I planned on. I just couldn’t find the time to give myself in order to achieve what I wanted. 

~worst experience?~

If we are talking about this year, then that would go to almost dying in a bus accident in the middle of the Highlands in Scotland. It’s a great story that I love to tell, because it turns out to be the funniest tale of my really long list of horrific stories. Minus the thought of dying on some random hill and how inconvenient it would have been for my mother to retrieve our bodies cause I didn’t buy travel insurance. 

However, if we are talking about ever in our lives, then that golden trophy would go to the time I, a store manager at Dollar Tree, was threaten with a plastic shank over $0.50 on hour 15 of my shift where I slept in the store that night so I could be there for the delivery at 5AM. That was horrible. Funny in hindsight, but horrible at the same time. Let me know, I can tell that story too.

~any new hobbies?~

Where do people find the time to start new hobbies? Serious, could you donate that precious time into a bank so I could have some? I would greatly appreciate it. 

~did you achieve your goals for 2018?~

hahahahahaha....oh, you’re serious again?

~have you fulfilled a long-term wish?~

Ah, this it did! So, back in 2011, I studied abroad in Scotland and vowed to take my father back so he could see the country that I fell completely in love with. Severely in love with. Like, I would marry any Scottish man that said to me, “Ach, lassie, yer bonnie and me heart tis yers. I have this castle in ta middle of the great Highlands. Would ye leave with me to Gretna Green to marry ov’r an blacksmith’s iron?” I would say yes in a heart beat. A HEARTBEAT YOU HEAR?!

~have you tried something new this year?~

um, I dressed myself in a kimono for the first time by myself. That was stupid hard. Also, I did a bang up job if I do say so myself (after the fourth attempt). 

~what plans or wishes do you have for next year?~

Let’s see, I am the best man at my best friend’s wedding in May, so I got that going. Also, in September, I’ll be going to Japan to visit my sister who is working as an English teacher, so I got that to look forward too. I would love to find some time to myself so I can try and finish my college degree that I started back in 2009. Cross your fingers. Also, I would like to complete this book I’m writing for myself. I would really like that. Oh, and finally, sleep more. Yeah, sleep. Good thing that is.

~what was the funniest moment?~

Serious, I teach kiddos karate at my church. I have no shortage of amazing moments in my life. Also I have three godsons and a goddaughter, stories are made every weekend. But I can tell you one of my favorites.

So, I’m teaching this not-yet-seven-year-old an introductory class to karate. I’m explaining to him that not only does yelling scare the bad guys away, but it tells the teacher that you are breathing. So I asked him playfully, “Do you like to breath?” And he stops all motion and looks at me. Then he shrugs and says “not really.” Needless to say, I too stop to stare at him, stunned by a response that I had NEVER received in my 13+ years of teaching children karate. So, I logically asked why not. This tiny little american-latino child that comes up to my waist tells me with the straightest face I have ever seen “Cause it take a lot of work to breath and I don’t know if I have the time for that.” (#mood much?) I’m losing my mind trying to hold in my laughter. Thus I spend the next few minutes with a 6 year-old having a philosophical discussion about the pros and cons of breathing. Eventually, we agree that blue is an ugly color on people’s face and we cannot do karate in our sleep so he had to stay awake and moving instead of passed out on the floor due to the lack of air in his body. Once that was establish, I asked another instructor to take over because I simply had to find a corner to sit in as I collected my laughing ass off the floor.

I will forever remember this child as the boy that I had to convince that breathing was a good thing and made me almost piss my pants in the middle of karate class. TWICE because that little stinker had to randomly blurt out in the middle of a different class weeks later that we were wrong because blue was a flattering shade on dead people and we should not be racist to dead people. 

I will now kindly remind you that this boy is 7 YEARS OLD. 

~what are you thankful for?~

I am thankful for family and friends. I am also thankful to @saijspellhart. In my desire to let her know that she is not alone, I am finding the courage to become more open with myself and other around me. So thank you. I hope that this year will be a rebirth for both of us and tons of smiles for everyone that reads this.

As for tagging other Tumblr users, I am too damn shy for that. Instead, if you are reading this and want to do this, tag me! I would love to get to know you and your likes. It’s nice to see the humanity on this site. Thank you for getting to the end and I hope to get to know you too!
