The Melody of Time: A Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir Fanfiction

Chapter Fourteen: The Previous and The Next

"Yeah, he's hanging ten on a surfboard, maybe there's a possessed dolphin that needs saving."

"Felix!"

"Wait," I cut in. "Master Fu is coming back to Paris?"

Felix digs into his pocket, clicks on something, then shows the screen. It's playing a video sent via e-mail.

The Master himself sits lazily in a chair, sipping out of a coconut. A surfboard rests next to his comfortable spot, and he wiggles his toes in the sand.

"Aloha, Bridgette...and that husband of yours," Master Fu greets.

"See, after all these years he still doesn't acknowledge me as a true miraculous holder, well ex-holder," Felix mumbles.

"Shush," Bridgette hisses. "Keep your comments to yourself."

"I wish this was a normal reconnecting, but alas, I need your help," Master Fu continues in the video.

"The man also has a habit of breaking his promises..." Felix shuts up after Bridgette glares at him.

"I know I promised to never involve you after the tragedy in London," says the elderly man, as if he heard Felix. "However we all know you are the best bet into training the new Ladybug and Cat Noir. Yes, I have found new hosts for our kwamis. They are currently residing in Paris, which is where I'll need you to go."

Master Fu's face zooms in, and I notice he's gained more wrinkles.

"I'll know you'll want to sit out on this. I am still sorry for Elise's death, which should never have happened. But right now, they'll need your help. Plus, I think you'll connect with the boy-"

It seems Master Fu dropped his phone on the table. A commotion happens in the background, and he returns, with a glass of lemonade.

"Sorry, it's hot out here, so I got to keep hydrated. Anyways, I'll already be in Paris by the time you get there, and I already bought you guys tickets, including one for your kid. So no excuses from your husband."

He takes one generous sip from the glass, and exhales. I notice he still has his bracelet. Does he ever use it?

"Once a Miraculous Holder, always a Miraculous Holder, no matter what the circumstances were obtaining them. And yes, that includes your husband's not-so-ceremonial circumstances. You may have passed on your duties to your successors, but the responsibilities that you had for the world are still yours."

"Farewell for now. I'll see you there." And the video ends.

Everyone stays quiet.

I raise my voice first. "So Master Fu is here?" I ask.

"Well, that's what he said in the video, but there's seen no sign of him," Felix gruffly answers.

"Maybe he got sidetracked by something," Bridgette ponders.

"Right. So I guess we'll host the meeting without him."

"Felix!"

"What, the old man wanted us to have the meeting, and made us come here. I only agreed to go because I don't trust you on your own. So we're going to keep that promise, whether the lazy bozo shows his presence or not."

I'm still entirely confused. "Master Fu said he wants you to train me. Just who are you two?"

The couple stare at each other, then sigh.

"You haven't guessed yet, kid?" Bridgette asks.

"No." I answer. The woman shakes her head, and again I feel as if I should recognize them.

Felix looks at my ring. "Plagg, we're back," he announces.

"Your previous Ladybug and Cat Noir are back, and we're here to help."

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE AND SHORT CHAPTER.

I slacked off, I know, I'll try not to do that again. Plus, there's another fanfic I haven't updated in two months, and darn it the canon is ruining it. Oh well, it's still a tale I have to finish.

So I decided to add Felix and Bridgette into the mix, along with Master Fu since he doesn't seem to get enough recognition in our fandom. What do you guys think?

Anyways, I might change the cover for this fanfic, unless you like it the way as it is.

I'll be posting my new fanfiction (for this fandom) soon, and I've worked on art for it for the entire weekend.

Happy Belated Valentine's Day, whether you are half of a power couple or a strong super solo, like me XD. My birthday just passed too (I'm 16, geez hopefully I'm not too old for this fandom.)

Till next time!
