Advertisement
Chloe is the first one to wake up. At first she just thinks it's an ordinary day; Wake up, brush teeth, take shower, ect. Then she remembers that Jason, Kacey, and Luke are going to be landing in a few hours.
Chloe: OH MY GOSH! MARI, LILA, WAKE UP!
She grabs her towel and runs out of the bathroom.
Chloe: WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
She starts shaking Marinette and Lila and accidentally wakes up everyone else in the room.
Chloe: S-sorry!
Kagami: Chloe, what are you doing...?
Juleka: Too...early...
Marinette: Chlo...what's going on...?
Chloe: THE GUYS ARE COMING TODAY! THE GUYS ARE COMING TODAY!
Lila: Yeah...the guys are...today...
She starts dosing off and then springs to her feet.
Lila: TODAY!?
Marinette: What about today?
They sit up still feeling groggy.
Juleka: Your boyfriends are coming to Paris today.
Chloe: THEY AREN'T OUR BOYFRIENDS!
Marinette: KACEY'S COMING TODAY!?
Kagami: Yes, Marr, we've gone over this already.
Chloe finishes getting dressed while Marinette runs to the bathroom to get ready.
Chloe: And she says she doesn't like him.
Kagami: She's got it bad.
Juleka: Just like you with Luka!
Kagami: Don't act like you don't like Nino, Juleka.
She goes red and runs to the other bathroom in the room with her stuff.
Kagami: You can't hide from me!
Juleka shouts something on the other side of the door but it's muffled.
Chloe: HAHAHAHA! She runs away from feels like Marinette!
Speak of the devil, they come out of the bathroom drying their hair.
Marinette: I heard that! I will tell Jason that you like him!
Chloe: No, please, if you do I'll never be able to live it down!
Marinette: That's the point.
Lila gets her things and starts going to the bathroom when her phone starts ringing.
Lila: Who is it?
Kagami picks up her phone and starts laughing.
Kagami: It's Luke~
Lila: I'll take that!
In one swift motion, she takes her phone from Kagami and answers the call.
Lila: Hey, Luke...what's up?
Luke: Hey, Lila, we're landing in 30 minutes! We just flew over the Eiffel Tower!
Lila: Cool! Mari and Chlo!
She hangs up the phone and starts jumping up and down.
Lila: They're landing in half an hour! They're here!
She runs to get ready as Juleka comes out of the other bathroom. Kagami grabs her things and goes into the bathroom.
Chloe: Marr, which is better this one?
Or
This one?
Marinette: The first one.
Chloe: Ok!
Lila comes out of the bathroom and starts blowdrying her hair.
Lila: I hope Adrien isn't at the airport!
Marinette: Why would he be there!?
Lila: You never know! He could be following us!
Juleka: That's a worst case scenario that you better pray doesn't happen.
Marinette: If it does happen he's getting his ass beat!
Kagami: Hoping he does in case anyone was wondering. Shit- I've gotta get to fencing practice! I'll catch up with you girls later!
Everyone: Later, Kagami!
Juleka: I've gotta get back to the liberty. Mom says we've gotta set up for dad's birthday.
Lila: Alright, see you later!
Juleka: Bye!
Kagami and Juleka leave and Lila, Chloe, and Marinette start getting ready to go to the airport.
Lila: Do you think Luke's gonna like my haircut?
Marinette: Of course he will!
Chloe: Those backings look fantastic, Marr!
Marinette: Thanks, Chlo!
Lila: They're here! They're waiting for us at gate 38C!
Chloe: Let's go!
They all go outside to get into Chloe's limo. When they get there Marinette and Chloe are stunned to see multiple limos lined up outside the hotel.

Chloe: What? There's a lot of people! If they're going anywhere they're going there in style!
Marinette: Leave it to Chloe to go over the top.
Lila: Yeah, but she means well.
They get in the limo and start driving to the airport to pick up everyone.
Lila: Marr, if you don't mind me asking, how come you're barely go home anymore?
Marinette: *Sigh* Mama and Papa sent me a very long, very angry voice message about "bullying poor, innocent, Lila" and disowned me. Apparently, Agreste told them I "beat you up" this experiment is working wonders for me if I'm being completely honest!
Chloe: Oh, Mari...
Lila and Chloe watch as she breaks down crying and give her a comforting hug.
Chloe: We're so sorry...
Lila: I should've never done this! This is all my fault!
Marinette: It's ok, really, it just hurts...that they didn't believe me. But either way I have people who actually care about me and that's all that matters.
She wipes her eyes and lets a chuckle escape from her mouth.
Marinette: Besides, it's not like life can get any more difficult...I think...?
The limo stops and they get out and start walking into the airport.
Kacey: HI MARI!
Lila: We're here too, y'know!
Kacey: Right...you two as well...
Chloe: Wow, ok then.
Everyone shares a laugh and Kacey's little sister comes up and tugs on the jacket. They bend down and give Clara a warm smile.
Clara: Who are you?
Marinette: My name's Marinette, but you can call me Mari! Who are you?
Clara: I'm Clara! Are you Kacey's girlfriend?
Marinette: Now, where'd you hear that, Clara?
They raise an eyebrow in Kacey's direction and he at them confused.
Clara: Kacey let me play his phone and Jason said I should go through his contacts and there was one with a name that was: "My special girl 🥰🥰" And I asked Luke and he said-
Kacey: Ok! Mommy looks like she could use some help! Go to mommy, go to mommy!
He starts nudging her to where their mother is and she starts struggling.
Clara: I'll tell mommy you broke her vase playing catch with Luke in the house!
He stops dead in his tracks and turns her around immediately pushing her back to Marinette.
Kacey: Go to the pretty girl! Go, go, go!
She looks at Kacey with a smile and he glares down at her.
Marinette: So, Clara, how old are you?
Clara: I'm 11!
Marinette: Wow, you're tall for your age.
Clara: I know!
Mrs. Arcs: Kacey, come help me with- OH MY GOSH! MARINETTE, IS THAT YOU!?
Marinette: HI MRS. ARCS! YOU HAVE A VERY LOVELY DAUGHTER!
Mrs. Arcs: THANK YOU! KACEY YOU'RE GIRLFRIEND IS SO SWEET! YOU SHOULD KEEP HER AROUND!
Kacey: MOM!
Mr. Arcs: Kacey, come help us with these bags! Jason, Luke, help your mothers!
Jason+Luke: Yes sir!
They all run to their families and start helping collect everyone's bags.
Chloe: Abby is so adorable!
Lila: I know!
Marinette: Clara thought I was Kacey's girlfriend...
The three girls share a small laugh and everyone comes back with different types of luggage.
Luke: What the hell do you have in here, dad, bowling balls?
Mr. Rivera: Yes, actually! There's a bowling tournament and I'm going to enter.
They all walk outside and everyone stares wide eyed at the limos.
Chloe: If you're gonna go places, then go there in style!
Abby: Cool! Do we really get to ride in these?
Marinette: Yup! Hop in everybody!
Everyone puts their luggage in the the trunks and gets in the limos.

Jason: These are some big ass limos!
Abby: Did you think the limo would be small like a car?
Jason: Smart mouth.
Marinette: If this man texts me one more time I'M GONNA-
They pause and see everyone staring at her. They clear their throat and shut their phone off.
Chloe: Agreste, again?
Marinette: Yes! He's got a new number, again!
Lila: Ugh! That's the 5 one this week!
Luke: Explanation?
Marinette: Blonde model boy. New number. Wants to talk. Can't take no for an answer. 5 times. Ignored everytime.
Kacey: Ouch, the cold shoulder!
Jason: Damn, that's harsh- Hey, is that him?
He points outside at the smoothie shop, seeing a very depressed looking Adrien Agreste.
Marinette: Yeah, that's the bastard.
Lila: Calm down, Marr.
Marinette: Yeah, yeah.
Kacey: Let's make a pit stop then!
The driver stops and Kacey looks at them all with a smile on his face.
Kacey: Who wants some smoothies?
Luke: Oh, you're a menace, man!
Kacey: What about it? Now, let's go get those smoothies!
Lila: Aren't you low on funds as it already is?
He averts his eyes, glancing ever so aggressively towards the smoothie shop and gets out of the limo.
Abby: Yay, smoothies!
They all get out of the parked limo, while the other two keep going to get to the hotel.
The group walks toward the Smoothie shop and Adrien looks up to see who's coming. He perks up when he sees Marinette, and is about to talk to her.
His joyful mood is quickly shattered when he sees Kacey put his arm around Marinette, but he thinks that they're just friends and tries to make his advancement anyway.
Adrien: Marinette, we've gotta- Lila?
Luke: You know this clown?
Lila: He's the model boy.
Luke: Ah, I'm gonna have fun tearing you a new one!
Adrien: Mari-
Marinette: Marinette.
Adrien: Huh?
Marinette: My friends call me "Mari" . You call me "Marinette".
Adrien: We are friends-
Jason: You sure little man? As far as I'm concerned, you're a little backstabbing traitor!
Adrien: Marinette, what did you tell them!?
Marinette: The truth!
Lila: Unlike me, but that's not the point!
Adrien: You...were lying the whole time!?
Chloe: Oh, look, we have a genius here.
Kacey: How about you all go get your smoothies or whatever you want and I'll...
He looks at Adrien with a psychotic smile and Adrien starts shaking.
Kacey: Have a little talk with sunshine boy.
Chloe takes his credit card and takes everyone inside the building, while he has a "little talk" with Adrien.
Kacey: I bet you're wondering what all this is about, right?
He nods his head afraid to answer his question verbally.
Kacey: Bluebell, Chloe, and Lila are best friends- haven been ever since they were babies. A year ago, Lila said most of you- A.K.A: Bluebell's class, was fake. Mari gave you the benefit of the doubt and you let them down.
He grits his teeth with the last 3 words he lets pass.
Kacey: Lila had the idea to become a manipulative liar, Chloe be a bratty daddy's girl, and Mari an aspiring fashion designer. Basically, this was a test an you flunked badly!
He wants to beat Adrien to a bloody pulp so badly, but know that Marinette wouldn't like it if he did that. Instead, he takes a few breathes, remembering that he could get Akumatized.
Adrien: Hey, who are you anyway!? You think you can just come waltzing into her life acting like you own her!
Kacey: Yeah, actually, you're the one doing the waltzing. Considering I've known them longer then you have. And I don't own them. They are a person of their own free will
Adrien: HA! You could've never met her because she would've already introduced you to us!
Kacey: You're forgetting one little, tiny, teensy weensy detail.
Adrien: What?
He asks through his gritted teeth, upset that anyone but him is with his princess.
Kacey: That they only met you this year, but they were in the U.S with me for 2 years before moving back here. I mean- face it, either way, the princess is mine-
Adrien starts repeatedly punching him in the face and gut. Kacey deflects most of the hits, but takes more hits then he dodges. He would fight back, but he's worried of what Marinette would think if he does.
The rest of the group runs out of the smoothie shop and try to shield Clara's eyes from seeing her older brother getting brutally physically assaulted.
Marinette tries to separate the two of them, but is caught in the crossfire, getting hit by Adrien, causing them to end up with a black eye and a busted lip.
Adrien and Kacey freeze and before Adrien can react, Kacey rushes over to Marinette to make sure they're alright.
Kacey: Bluebell! Are you ok!?
They chuckle and look up at a beaten up Kacey.
Marinette: I should be asking you that. You've got a black eye, your face is turning purple, you're missing a tooth, blood's dripping from your mouth and your cheek is busted. Are you ok?
Clara pushes her way to the front of the group and runs to her brother crying.
Clara: Kacey! Are you ok!?
Kacey: I'm ok, Lara-
Clara: Nu uh! You're bleeding everywhere!
Kacey: I'll be fine, I promise.
Clara: Are you sure?
Kacey: 100%, honest!
Clara: O-ok.
She turns to Adrien and runs toward him and kicks him in the balls.
Adrien: AUGGHH!
Clara: I HATE YOU!
Marinette: Go Lara...oh god it hurts...
Kacey: Sorry, Bluebell!
Marinette: I have a question- and answer honestly, who in the saints and demonic fuckers started this?
Chloe: That's a new one!
Adrien: He...attacked me...
Marinette: You're a fucking liar.
He looks at her teary eyed trying to ignore the pain below.
Marinette: What reason would he have to attack someone he doesn't know? Plus, he isn't a hypocrite. He told me not to beat anyone's ass, so why would he do something he told me not to do?
Adrien: But, he-
Marinette: Shut up! Now, since all you can do is lie to my face- Kacey, what happened?
Kacey: He was confused about what was happening, as expected, so I told him. Then, he said something about me waltzing into your life, so then I brought up the fact that I didn't do anything and technically he's the one doing the waltzing since you only met him this year. Then he got all offend saying "You could've never met her because she would've introduced you to us" and I'm like "How if they were in the U.S and she only met you this year?" Then outta no where he just starts attacking me!
Marinette: You're a fucking phyco, Agreste!
She looks over when Abby starts tugging on the sleeve of the jacket.
Marinette: What is it, Abby?
Abby: Is everyone in Paris this mean?
Marinette: No, no! It's only 5 people and he's one of those 5 people.
Abby: I don't like him at all...he's like dad when he has to go to work on his day off.
They all start laughing while Adrien hangs his head down realizing that in his attempt to gain adoration from his princess, he's going to lose her.
He starts thinking of ways to guarantee that doesn't happen, while he watches Kacey help Marinette to her feet. Feeling guilty about what he's done he mutters a sorry.
He gets no response and looks up. He realizes the reason why. Marinette is to busy checking out Kacey's wounds he caused, Kacey's trying to reassure her that he's fine, and everyone else is trying to calm the kids down while going back to their limo.
Adrien watches as Marinette and Kacey walk away. Kacey wraps his arm around Marinette and glares at Adrien before going back to their friends.
They all look at the time. Realizing that they've been out almost all day, they start going home and Marinette and Kacey start going on their date.
Adrien continues to stare as Marinette walks hand in hand with Kacey down the treet, feeling a panging feeling of despair knowing that this moment could've been his.

Divine Creatures
Kestra, a [Combat Alchemist] and [Woods Wraith Hunter], is excited to finally receive her third class. But when she attempts to do so, she instead receives a tribulation from the God of Trials, loses her classes, and is informed by the voice of the world that she's been selected to transmigrate with only three days to go. She tries her damnedest to prepare, but even the Elements are different in this new realm. A relatively staid adjustment period is completely abandoned though as she finds that, most distressingly, hundreds of transmigrators have appeared recently with dozens enslaved by the local city lord. Fine! She may have lost her classes and the magic is funky, but she'll be damned if she doesn't have a few true-blue skills up her sleeves. [synopsis re-write by luda305] A light hearted romp where the protag transmigrator *isn't* from Earth. The main story takes place on more of a western xianxia world. Note: profanity tag is because of side characters, and sexual context tag is for some risqué elements before fade-to-black scene. Book 1 is written and scheduled for release a chapter a day till 9/26 (24 chapters total) Book 2 will be added after it is all written. Updated to add fanfic tag because when I picked up the latest Ten Realms I realized that series has had a lot more influence on the setting than I consciously realized. Don't expect military or industrial revolution in xianxia, though.

Souls of Savagery
Souls of Savagery is a series of short stories intended to function much like a comic book series. However, to experience the complete story in a logical order you should read the volumes in numerical order, starting of course, with Volume 1: A Bloodbath by Any Other Name. Each volume is told from a single point of view and that will change from volume to volume. Though, the narrative will require later volumes to return to characters that have been featured previously. I hope you enjoy.
