Potions and Yoyos

Miraculous belongs to Zagtoon and Mystreet belongs to the youtuber Aphmau. Only the plot is mine.

Gene, Zenix, and Sasha were walking to the park skipping school on a normal Wednesday. But their plans were stopped by a thing they can only describe as a 'portal' opening up of the sidewalk in front of them. A bluenette tumbled out face first with her hands stretched out to break her fall.

"Ouch," She grumbled as she dusted herself off. They burst out laughing, she looked up confused, then glared at them.

"You could have helped," Marinette was around eleven years old.

Sasha was the first to stop, "But wheres the fun in that?" She peered behind the girl. "Where did you come from."

Marinette was hesitant to say anything. Telling someone she was training with her masters magic jewellery wasn't quite believable.

"Paris," She quipped. "Who are you?"

Gene stepped up, smirking at her attitude, "I'm Gene. This is Sasha and Zenix."

"Hey," Sasha waved.

Zenix narrowed his eyes, "Whats on your arms?"

Marinettes eyes widened, remembering why she had been training during school hours. Her parents had just kicked her out, her classmates had beat her up, and she had no idea why.

She started tearing up, "I-its nothing. Just a few bruises. I'm pretty clumsy. Must be from falling out of my bed."

"Do you live in a tree?" Gene asked.

Marinette looked up, "N-no."

"Do you sleep on a cliff?"

"I-I don't."

"Then I don't think you got those bruises from falling out of bed." He motioned to her wrist. "Pretty obvious from the slap mark."

She wanted to go back into the portal and talk with the Kwamis. Or even better, wake up from a weird dream. But they made that pretty hard, since they had surrounded her. 

She got into a fighting stance, "Don't touch me."

Sasha placed a hand on her shoulder, "We're not going to hurt you."

"Yeah," Gene said. "You didn't do anything to us."

"And we don't have any information to blackmail you with," Zenix mumbled.

Marinette lowered her fists, "Oh."

"Can you tell us why you have an instinct to fight?"

Marinette started crying. She couldn't handle it. The three were surprised but quickly comforted her. All while the portal was closing.

"Listen Demure, your family believed some liar. And you don't need them, you have us now." Gene said.

"Demure," Sasha raised an eyebrow.

"Kinda ironic, isn't it?" Asked Zenix.

"Exactly. She doesn't seem reserved or shy." He replied.

Sasha looked down at her, "Whats your actual name?"

"Marinette, Marinette Fu," She said.

"Alright Demure, we can try to help you get back home. Can you call one of those Kwami things?" Asked Sasha.

Marinette looked to the portal, "I can't, the portals closed. And none of them are with me."

"Sasha, Marinette, you stay here. We will try to talk to someone." Gene said.

"Who?" Asked Marinette.

"We'll be right back."

Fifteen minutes later they came back with a girl.

"The only reason I'm skipping is to help her. Not to get associated with you." She had orange hair and red eyes. She was holding a vile of green liquid and a spell book.

"Who is she?" Asked Marinette.

"I'm Lucinda, sweety. Listen, I'm going to help you get back home. But I need you to have patience. This might take a while."

She flipped through her spell book, "Hmm. Not a teleportaing portal I take it. Since you looked so surprised to see me using magic. Perhaps you are from a different world?"

After two hours of looking and talking, they finally figured out a way for her to go back. The magic from her the kwamis, miraculous, and a potion triggered the portal to open in the first place. 

Marinette took off her earrings as Lucinda pulled out ingredients for the potion.

"Lets hope this works, we don't have any Kwami magic," She dropped a shiny green stone into the potion. "And thats my only emerald."

They stood before where the portal once was. No one did anything.

"Do I drink it? Or throw it?" Marinette asked.

"Hmm," Lucinda put the vile close to her earrings. The liquid turned a dark shade of gray.

"Ow, thats hot," Lucinda says as she throws the steaming vile to the ground. The glass melts into the sidewalk as steam rises into the air. They cover their mouths as they cough and swat the smoke away from their faces.

"Whats that?" Asked Zenix, pointing somewhere in the smoke. 

They all turn their heads to a light shining. It dimmed, before starting to shirnk.

"Its not strong enough without Kwami magic. Hurry Marinette!" Lucinda called, pushing her in the general direction.

Marinette waved and stepped into the portal.
