Freakishly Miraculous

Tea with Fu

The afternoon sun was directly above as the two teens reached the little Chinese shop. The lights inside were off, the only source of light came from the sun that beamed through the windows, and the sign on the door said "Sorry, we are Closed!"

"Maybe it is closed because of the Akuma attack?" Marinette suggested, but Adrien shook his head no.

"He told me if I ever needed to see him, I could just get the spare key from within the potted plant." Sure enough as soon as Adrien lifted up the potted plant; taped underneath was a small little key. "I was always confused on why he told me about the key, maybe it has something to do with the fact that he knows my identity?" Both of them just shrugged at each other, and Adrien turned the key and opened the door. The shop was pretty quiet, it didn't even seem like Master Fu was there. However far off into the backroom, where Marinette had to go to the lesson, they could hear a tea kettle start whistling.

Cautiously, both of them silently crept across the floor, peering into the room for any sign of Master Fu. But neither one of them saw him. They walked into the room, trying to stay alert of the things going on in the room. As they walked toward the stove they noticed that six nearly identical cups were placed out on a tray, with some freshly made chocolate chip cookies and several of Camembert. It took a bit of effort to keep Plagg from wanting to leave the shirt pocket, but Marinette managed. Adrien turned off the stove, and the whistling of the kennel stopped.

"Thank you for getting that," Marinette and Adrien both jumped in surprise and they turned around to see a smiling Master Fu. "I must apologize. In my old age, I've begun to move much slower. Would either one of you two heroes like a cup of tea?" Marinette and Adrien just looked at each other- unsure of what to say. "I'm sure your Kwami's are hungry, especially after having to face off against Gemini." Their Kwamis flew up and nuzzled the man's cheeks.

"It's so great to see you again Master Fu!" Tikki chirped happily.

"Thank you for all this cheeeeeeesssssseeeeee!" Plagg said zooming over to the tray and began digging into one of the rolls. Master Fu was chuckling the entire time, and Marinette and Adrien were even more confused than before.

"So, I'm guessing you two have some questions, and I will be happy to answer them but please sit down and enjoy some tea." Marinette looked over at Adrien, who just shrugged and took as seat at the table, and Marinette followed his lead. Master Fu placed the tray down in front of them, and put in tea bags and poured the hot water in. "You know you can come out," Master Fu said out of the blue. "There is no point in hiding yourself." Before either Marinette or Adrien could question Master Fu's odd behavior, a tiny lime green blur flew out into the middle of the table.

"Wayzz!" Tikki cheered. "I was wondering where you were!" She floated up and hugged him in a tight embrace. Plagg gave a weak wave as he was slipping into a food coma from all the cheese he ate. Tikki removed herself form Wayzz's form, and Wayzz did a bow to the confused teens.

"Hello, I am Wayzz. I'm please to meet your acquaintance." Adrien gave a bow in repose, and Marinette sloppily copied the gesture. Wayzz gave a quick smile, and went down to join the other two Kwami. Master Fu looked over to the two with a big smile.

"So you are a Miraculous Holder too?" The question slipped from Adrien's mouth before his mind could stop himself from saying it. Master Fu's expression did not, he even laughed a bit. Marinette looked back between the two of them, waiting for his response.

"Indeed," Master Fu said stroking his beard. "My partner, Wayzz, and I use to form a great turtle warrior, but now I am known as the Great Guardian: protector of the Miraculous." The two teens had their mouths agape, and could not utter a single phrase. However Master Fu continued on without delay. "For many decades, I have been keeping this jewels protected and preserved, until worthy people- like yourselves- to be given such great power and responsibility. In my many years, I have only made one mistake..."
