Love Is A 2-Sided Coin S1

Recipe of Happiness

Episode 14: Kung Food. Well, S1 is over. I'm going to try and have this story done before S2 comes out. Also, I'm going to be adding a new character who will be a Miraculous holder. Since I'm not going to be doing the origin episodes, there may only be 10 more chapters for this story. Maybe less. Also, I'll be changing Volpina/Lila's personality and will explain why.

My Pov

Nathaniel and I decided to visit Marinette. We got to her house and went up the stairwell. I knocked on the door and it opened.

"Oh! Sophia, Nathaniel. It's just you guys." Marinette said.

"Of course. Who else would it be?" I asked. Marinette looked up and down the hallway.

"Come in, hurry!" Marinette said.

"What's wrong?" Nathaniel asked.

"My mom's uncle, Cheng Shifu, is coming to Paris to compete for the title of best chef. I hope he'll like this bouquet I got for him." Marinette said.

"It's very pretty Marinette." Tikki said.

"Just 'pretty' isn't enough. It needs to be perfect. My mom's uncle is a world-renowned cook! Everything needs to be tip-top." Marinette said. That's when the doorbell rang. "That's him! Hide, Tikki!" Tikki flew into Marinette's jacket and instead of going around the couch, Marinette climbed over and fell. She opened the door and her uncle was standing there.

"你好(Hello.)" Shifu said.

"Welcome Marinese, you're Chinette. No! Welcome to Marinette's, you're Chinese...?" Marinette stammered. Marinette tried to use her phone, but that wasn't working out either.

"Marinette, you need to calm down." Nathaniel said. I decided to assist the only way I could. Traveling with my mom for four years, I had to learn a whole lot of languages, Chinese being one of them.

"歡迎來到巴黎廚師師父。我的名字是索菲亞，這是拿。我們很榮幸和大家見面，我們想歡迎您到巴黎(Welcome to Paris Chef Shifu. My name is Sophia and this is Nathaniel. We are honored to meet you and we would like to welcome you to Paris.)" I greeted. Both Nathaniel and Marinette looked at me shocked.

Shifu: "謝謝。你說中國話很好索菲亞(Thank you. You speak Chinese very well Sophia.)" Shifu said. I decided to call in reinforcement. I dialed Adrien's number and he said he'd be over in a few minutes. Soon, the doorbell rang again.

"I'll get it!" Marinette exclaimed. Marinette was shocked to see Adrien. "Adrien?! W-W-What are you doing here?"

"Sophia told me that you needed someone who could speak Chinese, so here I am My Lady. At your service." Adrien said. Adrien's chauffeur drove us the Grand Palace. It turns out that Marinette's uncle could speak our language, but not completely. The judges were Alya's mom, Jagged Stone, the Mayor and the host of the show.

"What dish are you going to be making, Chef Shifu?" the host asked. Shifu looked at me and Adrien.

"他問你要準備什麼菜(He asked what dish are you going to prepare.)" I translated.

"I will be preparing my famous soup, Celestial Soup." Shifu said. I couldn't wait to see the result.

"Would you like me or Sophia to accompany you, Cheng Shifu?" Adrien asked. He shook his head. He said that conversation wasn't needed in the kitchen. Shortly after, Nino and Alya showed up.

"Hey, guys! Sorry if we're late." Nino said.

"No problem." Nathaniel said.

"I'm sorry if I bothered you or Adrien, Sophia. I was convinced he couldn't speak our language." Marinette said.

"No problem. The two of us were glad to practice our Chinese. Especially with a Shifu." Adrien said.

"Shifu?" Nathaniel asked.

"It means 'master' in Chinese." I said.

"Marinette, is something wrong?" Alya asked.

"I don't think my uncle likes me." Marinette said.

"It's kind of hard not to like you Marinette." I said.

"But he killed the bouquet that I gave him. What does that tell you?" Marinette asked.

"Marinette, he plans on using the flowers in his soup. He's an artist. He finds inspiration in his surroundings." Adrien said.

"So... you think he likes me?" Marinette asked.

"Of course he does." Nathaniel said. However, Chloé was part of the jury. Marinette had insulted her earlier to protect her uncle(you go Marinette! *whistles*), but something told me that she was going to do something. My hunch was right as she had ruined Cheng Shifu's soup.

"Honestly, what lows won't Chloé stoop to?" I asked. We were about to leave when something covered the whole hotel. Some of it sunk under the door.

"What is it?" Nino asked.

"It's caramel. Doesn't look like we're getting out of here." Adrien said. That's when some dumpling flew in front of us and showed a video of Chloé dangling over the pool, which was now boiling. The man responsible was Cheng Shifu! He had been Akumatized.

"I knew I shouldn't have provoked Chloé!" Marinette said.

"Marinette, this isn't your fault. Right now, we've got to save your uncle and Chloé." Alya said. We all transformed and hurried to the roof. We ran into Jagged Stone, the host, the Mayor and Alya's mom. They were under the control of Kung Food. We managed to subdue them and made it to the roof. I managed to save Chloé from being in hot water. Literally.

"Flower Angel! You and your team took your sweet time! Wait until I tell everyone-!" Chloé snapped before I "accidentally" dropped her.

"Oops. My bad." I said.

"No! My soup will be bland. You'll pay!" Kung Food exclaimed. He was a little difficult to beat since he was able to pull all kinds of weapons from his bag, however Nathaniel would just erase.

"Guys, I think the Akuma is in his hat! Cat Noir, destroy his bag." Ladybug said.

"Got it! Cataclysm!" Cat Noir exclaimed. A black aura formed around his hand. He slash Kung Food's bag and destroyed it. Lady Wi-Fi and Bubbler immobilized him and I used my whip to grab his hat. I ripped it open and the Akuma emerged.

"You've done enough harm, little Akuma. Time to de-evilize!" I exclaimed. I formed a bubble around it and kissed it. I popped the bubble and the Akuma turned back into a butterfly. I summoned a white rose and threw it in the air. "Team Miraculous!" White rose petals surrounded the hotel and returned everything to normal. Cheng Shifu was given a second chance and won the contest.

"Cheng Shifu, your Celestial Soup shall be put on the menu of my prestige palace!" the Mayor said.

"Thank you, but the name of my soup has changed. I will now call it; Marinette Soup." Shifu said. Marinette was really happy.

"Go join him Marinette." I said. The seven of us then enjoyed Cheng Shifu's soup, which was absolutely delicious.
