Guardian of the Miraculous (Sequel to Niece of the Guardian)

Spring Break Time

   I wake up to my alarm and remember it's the first day of spring break. I slowly get up and take a quick shower before blow drying my hair and braiding it. I open my closet and pull out my teal flannel, bootcut jeans, and brown ankle boots. After changing I walk to Adrien's door and knock.

   He opens up the door and smiles when he sees me. "Ready to go?" I ask him. He nods saying "yep, got my bag packed and ready to get the others. Where's your bag?" I give him a grim smile and say "Good old dad insisted on having all of my clothes be bought by my royal dresser. I'm going to despise the clothes but will be punished if I don't wear them."

   We head downstairs and hug uncle Gabriel goodbye before closing the door behind us. After waiting a bit, a purple Corvette pulls up and a grin breaks out on my face. Adrien looks from the car to me and says "that's your car?" I nod with a wide grin and walk down the steps to the driver side.

   My chauffeur steps out and hands me my keys and sunglasses. I slip them on and say "Adrien, pop your stuff in the back and pick your seat. There is plenty of room for all six of us and my chauffeur will be picking us up from the airport in my home country." He walks down and I pop open the back hatch. After his bags are safely packed in the back and we both are buckled, I rev the engine and pull out of the drive.

   After we get a bit down the road and stop at a stoplight, Adrien turns to me in realization and says "Wait, you're not 16. Won't we get pulled over." I smile and watch the road carefully as the light flicks to green. "I expected you to ask that. The royal seal is on my plates and if they decide to run my license, they will see I am from a royal family from a different country which means I have protection." I say as we pull to a stop in front of Nino's house.

   "So, are you sitting in the back with him of up here with me?" I say, looking over at Adrien. He sighs and thinks it over before unbuckling. "Alright, I'll get him." I step out of my car and close the door before jogging up the front steps of the apartment building. I buzz his apartment and a female voice resounds through the intercom.

   "Yes?" "I'm here for Nino Laffette, I'm the driver for the trip." "He'll be right down" I patiently wait for about five minutes and the door opens. Nino smiles at me and says "Sup dudette, where's your car?" I turn and point to it with a grin. He gapes at it and says "You have a friggin Corvette?" I nod and say "Purple Stingray Corvette, custom made to fit six passengers comfortably. Got it for my thirteenth birthday."

   He looks at me like I'm crazy and says "You're not even old enough to drive! When did you learn to, when you were ten?" I smirk and say "Actually I was eight. Come on, we got to pick up Dylan and the girls." He pops his luggage in the back and slides into the back seat with Adrien. I hop in the driver's seat and shift out of park before speeding off. 

   Next, we pull up to the bakery and I unbuckle. I look in the mirror at the boys and wait for their attention. "You mess with my car, I beat you." I said before stepping out and entering the bakery. The bell rings as the door swings open and the smell of bread and spices fills my nose. A large man stands behind the counter that reminds me of my dad but less...detached. 

   "Hello and welcome to Tom and Sabine's bakery, how may I help you?" He says with a kind voice. I smile and say "You must be Tom, I'm Kennedy, one of Marinette's friends. I'm here to pick her up for the trip." He nods and gives me a warm smile before yelling upstairs for Marinette.

   He turns to me again and I say "You remind me of my father. You have the same name actually." He nods and says "You must miss your father then?" I give him a sad smile and say "I miss him, yes, but who he was, not who he is." He nods in understanding and says "Sounds similar to that young lad, Adrien's situation." "Yeah, our fathers are brothers so it doesn't surprise me." I say, swallowing the lump in my throat.
