Review Responses (THANK YOU for taking the time too):
War Is Never Civil:
W.R Winters: Yup poor Kitty went through the emotional ringer. Gorilla/Sebastian is a sweetheart. Gabriel's "true colors" are shown very much. Mainly Kitty Blanc, he just truly NEEDS to get the death penalty don't wait for a straight jacket.
Of course Kitty and Nathalie had an adore encounter. She would make Emilie purroud. I'm thrilled you enjoyed Kitty and Nathalie's conversation. It was heart pulling to me writing it. (Sweet Smile) Good to know your interested with HER team. That's a relief, I got your first OC done well.
Toshiro of the Eternal Dream: Glad you stumbled onto my story. I COM-PAW-LETELY AGREE WITH YOU! She truly needs to be beat down and severly broken. Canon makes it's worse, she doesn't deserve him on either side of her miraculous mask. Nope Master Fu NEVER personally talked to her.
Hey that's a bit rude, Master Fu doesn't play favorites. (Tho he interacts with HER more often than not). Right I will try. Very true Adrien deserves his time to shine. (Giggles Evilly) Funny yup she's no true fighter. But remember long way to go, it's just chapter 3. Easily crushed without her shield, you bet Buggy Brat alright.
GirlPower54: Yup Agreste Sr did finally snap. Of course Nathalie is redeemable. Oh definitely love is blinding. Glad you think they make better guardians for Adrien. True that's a mystery still, Emilie's portray will be interesting for Canon. Okay good, I got Shelby down right. Yup thank W.R Winters for Theodore/Sliverback. Just read/relax/watch... Hope I keep it interesting for you.
Mikq: Seriously? I'm honored you think so. I do need to keep my "talent" thriving. First time and all but hey I won't give up. Don't worry. (Sweet Smile)
UnicornSecrets: Nathalie as Adrien's new mother will be blissful for both of them. Of course it's more than cute. ;) Theodore Lawrence definitely is. His gorilla miraculous it's all a mystery. Glad you think it's awesome.
Paris is a wonderous time to see in the winter yes all the shining bright lights everywhere very spirit soaring and amazing to be around. The possible freezing snow fall and darkening sky early on in the day are definitely not.
Being in the Roserade sliver lined car cuddled up warm and toasty doesn't stop the frown from forming on pink glossed lips. Cecilia Roserade turns her pale pink eyes away from the light snow covered window for the third time in 10 mintunes. "Stupid me, the one time I don't pack a book." She pouts annoyed at herself and her boredom. As the sounds of cars slowly moving and people honking their horns are heard making things worse.
Nancy's gray eyes move from her clipboard checking, to see her employer's daughter look ready to scream. Smiles lightly the headmaid comes to a decision. "We are near the park, so Cecilia how about a little walk? I know it's cold but it may clear your mind."
At Nancy's sweet suggestion, Cecilia turns back to the window, weighing her options. 'Its freezing outside. Deerja needs something to eat tho, nothing to read, my cell close to dying and paw-issbly seeing Cattastic Kitty's statue...' Taking a deep breath Cecilia answers Nancy while slowly opening the door with a hard push.
"Okay Nancy." Digging through her peach pink coat pocket, than it's other side Cecilia finds the fuzzy white rose gloves Raymond demanded she carry on her, getting out the car before starting to the curb "Bookwarm" uncle Bruce's voice is heard. Cecilia smiles smug turning around knowing he would hear her regardless not facing her. "Yes Bruce, I will, call if anything happens." She could feel Bruce smirk.
Cecilia turns back to the curb to see Nancy waiting there right hand out stretched as her left still holds her trusty clipboard closer to shield from the cold. Taking her offered hand they smile. "Thanks Nancy, I could still see it tho." Nancy's smiles brighter. "Of course Cecilia, making sure you actually had your gloves on. You know your father." Cecilia looks down at their joined hands to just realize Nancy is NOT wearing hers. They giggle letting their hands drop. Looking across the park at Tom/Sabine Boulangerie Patiseerie, Nancy smiles looking behind Cecilia understanding as the Roserade heir turns away from it silently.
"Cecilia start heading in. I will be right back." Nancy starts across the street, as Cecilia tries to protest. Without stopping Nancy smirks "I will be fine. Meet you inside with something sweet." Cecilia sighs but nods tho Nancy doesn't see it, heads into the park's gate. Hugging herself to keep warmer, she feels movement in her peach pink coat pocket. Looking around her Cecilia goes behind a tree. Watching if snow may fall from the branches. Deerja's light green eyes look up at her. "Sweetie, it's dreadful out here. But as Nancy said clear your mind. Once we get home, we will finish up preparing the gifts."
Cecilia smiles small turning her head upwards seeing the snow lightly fall around them. "Yea, I just wish we were home with Daddy eating popcorn and finishing them up." Deerja flies out kissing her Sweetie's forehead. Going quickly back into the coat pocket for warmth, light green eyes watch on vigilantly as her Sweetie still seems disheartened.
Walking on getting closer to The Lucky Duo's statue, Cecilia starts to smile happily. Staring up at Cat Noir's image, the cold around her fades away as warmth spreads through her core. 'Oh Kitty, wherever you are hopefully your having a cattastic Christmas Eve. If only I had brought mistletoe last paw-trol-' Cecilia's thoughts are suddenly interrupted by loud guitar playing, when actually it's a soft melody. She jumps looking around herself startled and confused. Deerja pokes her head out a little.
"We are alright Sweetie. I'm sorry but that guitar has been going since we arrived here. I didn't want to interrupt your Cat Noir thoughts for something so trivial. You were finally relaxing." Deerja explains firmly. Cecilia nods, pale pink eyes now scanning the area for the source of her interrupted Cat Noir thoughts.
Walking backwards away from The Lucky Duo, Cecilia blows a kiss to it. "Merry Christmas Cat Noir. My purr-cious Kitty." She sighs turning around now fully focused on finding the guitarist. Cecilia walks on looking left and right every few minutes until she finally reaches the source of the melody.
Cecilia lifts on her tippy-toes left hand raised to shield her eyes trying to see the silluoute ahead. 'Hmmmm, almost there.' Cecilia places the heels of her boots back on the ground sighing.
Resuming her walking now a slight jog. The guitarist's silluoute is finally visible. Pink glossed lips curve into a smile, left raising to wave. "Hey Soul Rocker, what no show stopper tonight?" Cecilia shouts giggling now.
Luka Couffaine raises his head hearing that nickname. Turns to his left on the bench, as Cecilia gets closer to him. He waves back turning to his right seeming to talk to someone. She stops in mid-step to find said person to be Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Looking as if she was just waking up from nap. Rubbing her right eye as she yawns. Shaking her head free from a sleepy fog Marinette's bluebell eyes lock onto Cecilia's approaching figure. She smiles waving a sheepish smile on her face.
'Damn it. Okay just smile, small talk than leave quickly as I can.' Cecilia inwardly plans, forcing an innocent smile on her face. "Didn't see you there, Clumsinette what's up? Soul Rocker as always sweet guitar playing." She finally reaches them stands a good foot away from the beach their sitting on.
"Thanks Cecilia. Sorry no show stopper tonight, I came out here to watch the snow fall. It just called out to me." Luka smiles watching the snow continue to fall as Marinette leans against his shoulder unknowingly. Cecilia nods watching Luka play. Her eyes subtly follow Dupain-Cheng's sluggish movement.
Yawning, her eyes still cloudy. "Sorry Cecilia, hi I'm just tired. Ummm heavy work load at the bakery and I needed to take my cat to the vet yea." She answers nervously, a cringy smile crosses her lips and tiny blush appears on her rosy cheeks, Cecilia raises an eyebrow at that as Luka chuckles lightly. His strumming becomes more relaxing.
'That's family business sure. SHE HAS A CAT? Ha maybe I could- But than... why did she look unconvinced of her own words?' Cecilia smiles brightly, eyes sparkling. "Took your cat to the vet? Hope they are felin-ling better and mew-ore cattastic than befur now." Cecilia laughs wholeheartedly at her own puns. Her pale pink eyes look to Marinette, the ravenette groans loudly.
"Cats are nothing but trouble. But yea I love my kitty." As she says that, a sweet smile grows on her face. Luka and Cecilia not understanding the double meaning behind it. Cecilia folds her arms across her chest. Faces away from her, a pout forms. "Cats aren't troublesome their mischievous and misunderstood sweet creatures."
Luka looks up from his silent strumming to realize both girls need cheering up. A strong smile appears on his face. As the girls look off distracted now, he suddenly stands up shaking off the snow from his dark blue pants. He strums faster but still softer than before. Walking ahead of him, as he turns around a few feet away from them. They share a confused small glance at one another than stare back at Luka in anticipation waiting.
Aqua blue eyes look into cautious pale pink than sweetly smile into curious widen bluebell pools. Luka speaks two words that seals the strawberry-blonde's fate tonight. "Peach Rose". A smug smile on his lips even as Cecilia's eyes widen than morph into slits. "Shut up Soul Rocker."
Marinette glances between them as she raises off the bench, lightly dusts the snow from her darker pink winter pants. "Cecilia come on, that wasn't necessary. All Luka said was-" Cecilia turns her glare on Mari flooring the ravenette. "I know what he said."
Pale pink eyes glare into smiling unafraid aqua blue eyes. His fingers still strumming unfazed. "Peach Rose, you know I won't stop." Tiny peach pink coated arms cross stubbornly. As Marinette opens her mouth to try and understand the unsettling situation, Cecilia replies quickly smirking.
Luka Singing/Cecilia Singing you all have been warned!
"Look at me clearly Soul Rocker, You will yield before I. I can wait you out" Cecilia rolls her eyes tapping her left foot lightly. Marinette blinks slowly getting the gist of everything.
"Now Cecilia no need to be hostile. It's freezing out here but there's no need to fear. Let it out you know what this is all about."
"Me hostile? Never dear Luka. The calm before the storm?"
Pale pink eyes turn upwards the darkening sky seems to grow snow starts to fall harder. She moves slowly towards the bench. Wipes off snow flacks with a white rose covered hand giving off a grimced face. Settling onto the bench left arm crossed over her right, right hand lightly tapping on her left arm, her right leg crosses over her left swing slowly smugly staring at him. Luka's strumming picks up Marinette continues to look between them as a waiting ping-pong match, a smile forms on her lips.
As Mari starts walking towards the bench, Cecilia raises a hand "Take your chance, shut him up for me. Come on you want to take his hand create some romance." Marinette's face turns fire red as the blush creeps in, seeming to raise from her face to the tips of her ears. Cecilia laughs wholeheartedly holding her stomach.
"Marinette she's not wrong. Yet tactless it wouldn't hurt. Just a little dance, may give us a relaxed atmosphere so please let's not fear. It's cold but we need to get warm that's one way too."
"You have no idea Soul Rocker. I need a good laugh besides Clumsinette it will be sweet. Two out of three agree well your fate is sealed so...?"
"O-okay just please st-stop." She stuttered out wishing they weren't so convincing while singing. Bluebell eyes widen in shock she agreed. Luka walks past Marinette to the bench hands his precious guitar to Cecilia. She carefully places it on her crossed legs holding it relaxed.
Luka walks back over to Marinette. Aqua blue stares deeply into bluebell eyes unmoving. "Hey Clumsinette don't forget to breath." Roserade shouts playfully as Luka grabs her right hand in his left. His right hand gently rests on her left hip. Well more a bit higher to be more appropriate. They start swaying it doesn't last long. As they stare into one another's eyes all they can hear are their hearts beating and suprisingly beautiful voice.
"Two hearts beating as one, find warmth in this freezing cold place. Staring sweetly into their love's face knows they safe and cherished. Oh oh oh truly cherished feeling of love won't perish. It's freezing, dark and evil out here but staring at one another they have nothing fear. No no no nothing to fear..."
Luka looks down into Marinette's eyes smiling tenderly. Her mouth is gasped open but slowly forms into blissful smile. Cecilia's voice breaks the moment for Marinette NOT Luka as Marinette looks over at her.
"Luka your wasting the moment. Don't miss, she's dying for your kiss."
Next thing Mari knows she's dipped down as a snowball goes flying past his head. The darkening sky and snow falling intensify the akumas flying her belly. Marinette blushes deeper red. Luka leans down nose to nose with her.
"Marinette may I?" It's said so softly she almost didn't hear him. No answer to come as Luka leans down a locks her lips with his in a soft passionate kiss. In there background they hear faintly "Finally. Baker's daughter your a mess and real bother. Yet Luka kind and caring will smooth you out. That I have no doubt."
Cecilia stands up marching over to the kissing couple. Fake gagging with sweet smile pink glossed lips. Lightly punches Luka's back "Alright, alright Soul Rocker let your love song breath." Punches continue until aqua blue eyes turn to smirk down into pale pink ones.
"Okay, okay Cecilia. Your right wouldn't want Mari getting sick." The two turn to the ravenette whom seems to be in a trance looking up at Luka. He smiles back rubs his nose against hers. Cecilia rolls her eyes walking away hands on her hips. She freezes hearing "Thank you Cecilia. You really helped us." Mari's voice drips with gratitude. The strawberry-blonde nods firmly starting to walk away.
"Cecilia, Cecilia there you are. You didn't call Bruce." The troubled voice of Nancy reaches the three's ears. Luka waves to Nancy, his arms return to wrap around his love song. Said ravenette smiles sheepishly at the Roserade's head maid. Nancy nods to the couple as Cecilia embarrassingly turns to face Nancy.
Gray eyes meet pale pink sternly. As Nancy shows the bag of goodies from Tom/Sabine Boulangerie Patiseerie. Opening the bag Cecilia peeks over to see two boxes and Nancy's trusty clipboard within. Cecilia smiles brightly. "Cecilia just one." The Roserade heir pouts but nods submissive. Taking from one of the boxes a bread roll. Bites into it smiling, she places the bigger piece of it in her pocket. Knowing Deerja will need it more.
Cecilia's cheeks turn light rosy in embarrassed for being scolded. Luka moves from Marinette to hug Cecilia. "Merry Christmas Cecilia. Don't forget next time alright?" She releases the hug to salute Luka. "Understood sir Soul Rocker., Merry Christmas as well." The four laugh at the music duo's antics. Witch remains Marinette...
"Hey Luka why do call Cecilia, Peach Rose?" Cecilia hearing that nickname from Marinette's mouth, she glares at the ravenette. Luka answers with his right hand on Cecilia's left shoulder to calm her down.
"I call Cecilia, Peach Rose so she knows I want her to sing. It's become our code phrase for our music. Tho the nickname works in general, it fits better when I'm playing my guitar." Luka smiles over his shoulder at Mari during that explanation. A whistle grabs the three teens attention. Cecilia rolls her eyes fondly moving from in front of Luka. Already knowing what's next.
Nancy puts her cell phone away addressing them. "I'm sorry to cut this short. But Cecilia it's time we head home. Bruce is getting testy waiting." Cecilia giggles, waving goodbye to the couple. "Merry Christmas Cecilia." Cecilia turns around to Marinette. The strawberry-blonde nods to the ravenette waving at her. "Yea you too Marinette." Saying her actual name, Marinette smiles wider at the Roserade heir.
With that Nancy leads Cecilia out the park heading to the sliver lined Roserade car. Bruce is standing on the driver side, smoken a cigar he poofs out smoke. Nancy smirks shaking her head at him. "Hey Cecilia's back put that out." Bruce looks at Cecilia whom stares back expectedly at him. Bruce sighs but smirks. "Okay Bookwarm, chill with the stare." He clips it, opens his door throwing it inside than sitting down in the car. Nancy and Cecilia smirk at one another getting back inside.
"Well this night wasn't as annoying as I thought. Luka finally got his love song. She better not screw it up." Cecilia thinks looking back out the now heavy snow covered window but a bright smile shines on her lips.
THE END!
