Marinette's POV
"What can I do to help?" I asked delicately.
"Listen." Tikki whispered in a horse voice.
"I'm always ready Tikki." I whispered through the thick air.
"To understand why this is happening I need to take you back a few hundred years." Sue began shakily. "It all began with a lady luck who couldn't see and a cat that couldn't feel. She wasn't an innocent flower like you'd expect she loved what she did because of the pure exhillerating expireance. The way she described her vision was a mix of faint outlines and light sources. I always felt sorry for her athough she was never one for sympathy. Both my lady luck and plaggs Cat knew each other." A faint whimper escaped her.
"Its okay." I soothed her.
"It all happened so abruptly. The annual kwamii day came and since the others were dormant it was just Plagg and I. The four of us had started getting hungry so I went out to get some food, thinking Plagg was looking after the pair. He had this idea that of he trailed me and attempted another ploy I'd notice him." Thick tears coated her rosey cheeks. "I must admit I found it charming at the time. Then when we returned she was at the bottom of the stairs dead. The cat just standing over her with a stoic face. I didn't even have time to grieve. They just took the miraculous and gave us new holders. When kwamii day comes its like a slap in the face."
"I know Tikki, I know." I whispered using my shoulder to wipe the tears collecting in my eyes. "You can't blame yourself though and you don't have to blame anyone else. Redefine kwamii day, take it back. No more sorrows, no more tears. Lets get out of this smelly damp room and enjoy your day. We can pick up the other kwamii's and explore this great city. Not from handbags or holders eyes, be yourself and I know this isn't you."
"Your right." Tikki's eyes shone with pride. "Only you, Princess Marinette Dupain-Cheng of China and Paris."
"And you Princess Tikki kwamii of creation." I bowed my head with a bright smile. "Now let's get out of here shall we? Guards!"
The men clambered in and wide eyed took us up to the thrown room obviously realising something had been decided.
"Your Majesty Marinette and her copy." One of them announced.
"Leave." She told them. "Mari are you okay?" She asked hugging me.
"Yes, Maman." I giggled hugging her back.
"I'm so sorry for locking you down there." She smothered me with apology before I finally managed to intervene.
"Its okay I'm good. I'm acctualy glad you locked me down there." I told her.
"So what are we to do with your copy?" She asked glaring at Tikki.
"Well Maman it's hard to believe but this is Tikki my kwamii who turns me into ladybug." I pulled away to stand beside Tikki. "She has trouble controlling herself when she turns into a human." I explained.
"So your like a tiny god?" Papa questioned her, I nodded and smiled. Both of them dropped to their knees in awe.
"I'm more of a genie in an earning." She mused.
"Acctualy Maman, Papa, Tikki only gets to be human today so I was wondering if we could borrow a limo." I told them sweetly.
"Of course darling just give Aren a schedule." Maman told me gaining her bearings and raising to sit in her thrown.
"Thank you!" Tikki and I squealed before bouncing out and finding Aren ready to take us.
"So where are Trixx and Plagg?" I asked Tikki. She pulled out a walky talky.
"Trixx, Plagg? Come in." She spoke into it. "Hurry round to the front doors." There was a static noise behind us before the pair came into veiw.
"Marinette did you make Tikki no fun?" Plagg asked in a playful sireousness.
"That is not the definition of fun!" Tikki wacked him on the shoulder. "But no we're going to go enjoy the rest of the day so get in." We pushed them in the limo before squeezing in ourselves.
"Ew Plagg you pig!" Trixx gagged as Plagg scoffed the contese od the mini fridge.
"How did I live with tiny hands?" He chuckled looking at his hands like they were made of gold. Laughing like the other girls I flicked out my phone and typed furiously.
To, Aren, these are the places we wish to go;
-The hotel to pick up two others,
-The temple heaven,
-Yu garden and
-Reed flute cave.
