The Web-Slinger Of Paris (Male Reader X Marinette/Ladybug)

Kung Food/Meeting Marinette's Uncle

Scene: Dupain-Cheng House, Living Room
"Marinette uses with a French-to-Chinese translation app."
Marinette: You'll see Tikki. I'll say it just fine. *presses the microphone button on the app* Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette.
Translator App: 欢迎来到我的家，我的名字叫马里内特。
Marinette: *repeats after the translator app, pronounces the sentence wrong* No, that's not right. *repeats the translated statement and gets it correct*
Tikki: Good job Marinette!
Marinette: I'm so nervous! Do you think he'll like them? *Marinette grabs the flowers off the coffee table*
Tikki: Well of course! They're fine!
Marinette: They can't be fine, they have to be perfect! My Mom's uncle is a super famous Chinese chef. He's very particular, so things have to be just right. *doorbell rings* That's him! Hide, Tikki.*Tikki hides. While going to the door, Marinette trips over the backing of her couch before opening it*
Wang Cheng: 你好 (Hello).
Marinette: Uh, welcome Mari you're at Nette's. Uh ah, welcome to Marinette's! You're Chinese! No no no no! In Mandarin! *Marinette attempts to greet her Great Uncle in Chinese* Ugh, no wait. *Marinette reaches for phone and hands Wang Cheng the flowers, who smells them*
Marinette: *whisper shouts to the translator app on her phone* Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette. Ugh, this is so lame.
Translator App: 欢迎来到我家。我的名字叫马里内特。哎，这个真差劲。哎，这个真差劲。哎，这个-... *app malfunctions and keeps repeating "Ugh, this is so lame!" [However it translates to "Ugh, this sucks"] until she closes the app and let her great uncle inside*
Marinette: *on the phone with Alya, whom she just dialled* Alya, you've gotta help me. I don't know what to do with my mom's uncle. You know, the one I told you about? Well, I don't think I can pull this off... *cut to Alya, sitting on a park bench*
Alya: Chill out Marinette, I got the solution. Just hang tight. *she hangs up*
Marinette: *to the dial tone* Thank you! You're amazing. What solution? Huh? Aw... *sits down on the sofa next to her Uncle*
"Marinette sits uncomfortably with Wang Cheng, awaiting Alya's help, when the doorbell rings, and Marinette runs to answer it."
Adrien: Hey Marinette!
Peni: Hi, Mari!
Y/N: Hey, Princess.
Marinette: ADRIEN!? PENI?! DARLING?! What in the—uh—what are you—
Adrien: Alya called me, when I was hanging out with Peni and Y/N. She said you needed someone who speaks Chinese? Well, here we are! Translators at your service. *he bows to her*
Marinette: No! I mean, yes! Uh, where's Alya? *she receives a text from Alya confirming the situation* Uh, hehe!

Scene Change: Adrien's Car
Adrien: 郑师傅，这是你第一次来巴黎吗？(translates. Master Cheng, Is this the first time you've visited Paris?)
Wang Cheng: 不，我30年前來過這裡。(translates. No, I have been here 30 years ago.)
Y/N: 嗯，很高興知道你以前去過巴黎 (translates. Well, it's good to know that you've visited Paris before)
Wang Cheng: 你們兩個都能說一口流利的中文。(translates. You two can speak Chinese fluently.)
Adrien: 谢谢，郑师傅。 *bows* (translates. Thank you, Master Cheng)
Wang Cheng: Oh, my English very bad. Not like your Chinese.
Adrien: I thought you couldn't speak English.
Marinette: Uh, me too.
Y/N: So, did we.
Wang Cheng: Oh, no, not good. My English not good. *Marinette giggles*

Scene Change: Outside Le Grand Paris
"The World's Greatest Chef's logo flashes."
Alec: Since our "World's Greatest Chef" contest kicked off, the best culinary masters from around the globe have been blowing our minds with their gastronomic creations.
André: Cheng Shifu, I am delighted and honored to have you on our final show, where you will have the chance to defeat all of the chefs who have competed thus far.
"Wang Cheng smiles, and he, Marinette, Y/N, Peni and Adrien walk into Le Grand Paris."
Alec: Only one will be awarded the title of "World's Greatest Chef." The winner's dish will become the new Mayor's Special on the Grand Paris's menu! *camera switches to inside the hotel* Tell us Cheng Shifu, what dish will you be honoring our panel with today?
Y/N: *translating what Alec said* 你将交给上的菜 (The dish you will be offering)
Wang Cheng: My dish is: Celestial soup.
Alec: Wow! I've heard so much about your legendary Celestial Soup, but today we'll actually get to taste it! *television broadcast ends*
Adrien: Would you like me, Y/N or Peni to come with you, Cheng Shifu?
Wang Cheng: No thank you Adrien. Cooking needs no words. *Alec leads him off*
Marinette: Thanks, Adrien, Peni, Darling. I'm totally sorry for bothering you three for nothing. I really thought he couldn't speak English.
Adrien: No problem Marinette. It was awesome to be able to practice my Chinese, especially with a Shifu.
Marinette: A Shifu?
Y/N: That means "Master" in Chinese. Your Mom's Uncle is a great master!
Chloé: *Marinette smiles before being startled by Chloé's voice* Oh look who it is! My favorite person, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I mean, seriously? Does your great-uncle really expect to win the contest with a SOUP!? It's not even a main dish! Please! Doesn't he know how to make sushi like everyone else?
"Y/N, Peni, Marinette and Adrien are mad at Chloé."
Adrien: Japanese people make sushi, Chloé. Cheng Shifu is Chinese!
"Y/N, Peni, Marinette and Adrien continue to be angry at Chloé."
Y/N: That's just racist. I wonder what the other people of different countries would think if they found out that the daughter of the Mayor of Paris is racist to other people from different nationalities? That would immediately mean that he will be impeached and replaced. *Chloé scoffs and ignores what he said*
Marinette: Besides, he's not like "everyone else". My Great Uncle is the best chef in the world. His soup is legendary!
"Y/N, Peni, Marinette and Adrien are still mad at Chloé."
Chloé: Well, I despise soup.
Peni: So what?
Chloé: Didn't you know? I'm on the jury. *to Marinette* Your uncle will not be getting my vote, for sure.
Marinette: Oh yeah? Well, he doesn't need your vote to win! There are other judges with much better taste than yours.
Chloé: Ugh!
Marinette: Huh, silly me, you don't have any taste! I mean, look at what you're wearing.
Peni: *snickering* Nice one, Mari!
Chloé: Ew! Don't talk about me like that. *she walks to the stairs angrily* You've made a big mistake.
Y/N: *proudly to Marinette* Great job, Princess. *kisses Marinette on her right cheek*
Peni: I agree. I guess Big Brother isn't the only one who can pull a Uno reverse card on Chloé.
Adrien: *he is proud of Marinette because she stood up for her uncle* Wow, you really stood up for Cheng Shifu. He would've appreciated that.
Marinette: I'm not sure. I don't think he likes me.
Adrien: Oh no, you're wrong.
Marinette: No, I swear! He even ripped up the bouquet I gave him.
Adrien: Cheng Shifu isn't just a chef, Marinette -- he's an artist! He told me, Y/N and Peni he was gonna put flowers in his Celestial Soup. He said he improvises on faithful things that come his way. The flowers he mentioned must be the ones you gave him!
Marinette: So... you think he actually likes me?
Y/N: *he put his hands on Marinette's shoulders* Totally! He's shown you great respect in his own special way. Also, he's your Uncle. Of course he's going to like you. He also told me, Peni and Adrien that your mother always told him stories about you and how she and Uncle Tom are proud of you. *Marinette sighs happily as she then hugs him*
Marinette: *hugging Y/N* Thanks, Darling.
Y/N: *hugs her back* No problem, Princess.
