A/N: Outfit for the chapter.
Hairstyle:
Rossi Residence - Lily's Room
Lily was sleeping in her bed with her two Kwamis, Tikki and Trixx, sleeping in their own beds. It had been two weeks since Darkblade had attacked City Hall and was turned back to normal. Lily had made true to her promises as class rep with Chloe and Sabrina by her side. Marinette was still a grump about not being class rep. Next week, she hopes that somehow will tell her about an issue with the school.
RING!
RING!
RING!
Lily slowly opened her eyes and sat up from her bed. She yawned as she stretched her arms and then rubbed her eyes. Tikki and Trixx were beginning to wake up as well.
"Morning, Tikki. Morning, Trixx." Lily greeted.
"Morning, Lily." The two Kwami greeted.
Lily got out of bed and began getting dressed for the day.
"Do you two know what today is?" Lily asked, working on her hair.
"What?" Tikki and Trixx questioned as they floated over to her.
"Today's my birthday." Lily answered.
"Really?!" Tikki and Trixx exclaimed with delight.
Lily nodded, "Yup. I'll be turning fifteen today." She said.
"Wow!" Trixx beamed.
"Fifteen, huh?" Tikki smiled.
"It's been fifteen years since I've become Lily Rossi." Lily stated.
"You've done a lot of great things since you came here, Lily." Tikki complimented.
"Indeed." Trixx agreed.
"Can we help with your hair?" Tikki offered.
"Sure, if you don't mind." Lily smiled.
"We love to!" Trixx beamed.
Lily smiled softly at the two Kwamis as they helped with her hair. Soon enough, they were done.
"Thanks you two." Lily thanked them.
"Is it okay if we give you something?" Tikki questioned.
"Sure, what is it?" Lily asked.
"A Kwami specialty." Tikki stated.
"Oh, that's amazing! What is it?" Lily asked, walking towards Tikki.
Tikki performed a small dance in the air while humming, then spat something into Lily's hands.
"Eugh..." Lily cringed. She looked shocked and slightly disgusted.
"T-Thank you, Tikki. What is it?" Lily asked, as she forced a smile.
"A Kwagatama. It's a significant symbol of friendship among us kwamis. We take a strand of hair from our Miraculous holder and combine it with the hairs of all the previous Miraculous holders. Then, we grow a magical resin using them for a few months." Tikki explained.
"And all kwamis have to spit it out of their mouths?" Lily asked.
"Yep!" Tikki confirmed.
Lily looked disgusted at it again, only to see that it had transformed into a beautiful red charm.
"Wow! It looks so charming, Tikki." Lily said.
"You're welcome." Tikki smiled.
"Can I give you one as well, Lily?" Trixx offered.
"Sure." Lily confirmed.
Trixx performed a small dance in the air while humming, then spat something into Lily's hands. Then it transformed into a beautiful orange charm.
"Thanks, Trixx." Lily thanked the Fox Kwami.
"Lily, Tikki, Trixx, breakfast time!" May called out.
"Coming!" The three called back. Lily put the two Kwagatama into her pocket and ran downstairs with the two Kwamis flying beside her.
"I'll be meeting up with the Guardian today. So I'll be back around three. Is that okay?" Lily asked.
Lily had made a necklace with the two Kwagatamas attached to the string. John and May were fascinated by the charms.
"It's fine with us, Lily. Just make sure to be back before four pm." Mom instructed.
"I will, mom." Lily assured her, "See you later."
Then Lily and her two Kwamis left the house.
Master Fu's Massage Shop Kitchen
Lily was helping Fu make the power ups for the Kwamis in her Miracle Box. Luckily Fu took pictures of Lily's Grimoire to study the pages while he gave her Grimoire back to her.
"For the aqua power, I'm confused on the last ingredient." Fu admitted, looking at the tablet.
"What is it?" Lily asked.
"A tear of Joy. What does that mean?" Fu pondered, tapping his chin.
"Master Fu, it means a real tear of joy." Lily clarified.
Fu's eyes widened and turned to Lily, "Really?!" He exclaimed.
Lily nodded.
Fu facepalmed, "Why didn't I think that?" He asked.
Lily patted his shoulder, "It's okay. Sometimes the most complicated recipe has most simple ingredients." She assured him.
"Thanks, Lily." Fu thanked her.
"If we want to put the last ingredient in, we better do it on the roof." Lily suggested.
"Why the roof?" Fu asked.
"Unless you want a hole in it." Lily pointed out.
"Good point." Fu agreed.
Rooftop
Lily and Fu were now on the roof.
"Okay, now we need a tear of joy." Lily said.
"How are we supposed to do that?" Fu's brow arched.
"Come on, tell me a really, really funny joke!" Lily said.
Master Fu deadpanned at her.
"Okay, why do cats make terrible storytellers?" Lily asked.
"I don't know, uh..." Master Fu started, confused.
"Because they only have one tail!" Lily answered, making Fu chuckled.
"What do you call a cat that's a pickpocket? A purr-se snatcher!" Lily joked, making Fu laugh more.
"What do you call a cat wearing shoes?" Lily asked, grinning.
"Puss in boots!" Lily answered. Master Fu laughs heartily, until a tear comes to his eye.
Seizing the moment, Lily quickly wiped the tear from Fu's face with her finger, carefully dropping it into the potion vial. As soon, as the tear hit the mixture, the potion flashed brightly, a surge of light shooting into the sky.
Master Fu then gasped. "You did it, Lily!" He exclaimed with joy, his face lighting up.
Master Fu's Massage Shop Kitchen
Fu and Lily brought the potion back inside. Fu decided that Wayzz would try the potion to see if it's successful or not. Wayzz drinks some of the power blend.
"Mmmm. Yes, I remember it being a lot like this." Wayzz said.
Both Lily and Master Fu smile.
"Ha! I knew it." Master Fu exclaimed. "Wayzz, power up!" He raised his Turtle Bracelet hand.
Wayzz glowed green, spinning into a flash of light before emerging with fins and a tailfin in place of his usual hands.
"Aqua-Wayzz!" Wayzz announced proudly.
"It really worked!" Fu beamed.
Lily hugged Master Fu, "You did it, Master Fu!"
Fu chuckled and patted Lily's arm, "No, we did it, Lily. I never would have figured out the last ingredient if it weren't for you."
"Still, you made most of the potion." Lily stated.
"Perhaps so." Fu agreed.
Master Fu carefully holding a rack filled with seven vials, each glowing in different vibrant colors. He placed them in front of Lily, pointing to a paper with matching-colored circles, each accompanied by detailed descriptions of what the potion did.
"Each blend corresponds to a new power." Master Fu explained.
Lily scanned the paper, her eyes widening, as she realized the magnitude of what she was holding.
"Oh wow! That's a lot of powers." Lily said, her voice filled with both awe and excitement. Master Fu handed her the rack of vials.
"You should keep these vials with you at all times, just in case." Master Fu advised. Lily hesitated, looking at the rack of delicate vials in her hands.
"Well... that's not very practical." Lily admitted, scratching the back of her head, wondering how she'd carry these around without them breaking or spilling. Master Fu smiled gently, unfazed.
"Only the ingredients matter. They could be contained in anything." Master Fu said. Lily's face lit up with sudden inspiration.
"I have an idea!" Lily exclaimed.
Rossi Residence - Kitchen - Later
Lily and May were in the kitchen making macaroons with the power up potions. Lily lifts a tray from the oven holding 21 mini-macarons, 3 each of the 7 potion colors, arranged in rows by color.
"So these power ups have different kinds of powers?" May asked, looking at the macarons.
Lily nodded, "Yeah. I'm excited about using them."
"Mmm! Magical macarons! I love your idea, Lily!" Tikki complimented.
Lily put a red one into a box with other colors.
"One 'magic-aron', one transformation." Lily said.
"The blue one looks yummy!" Tikki commented.
"You'll see. I'm told it's icy." Lily continued in a hushed tone, and winks at Tikki and Trixx.
May and Lily chuckled.
It was soon sunset. The Rossi family were in their car, heading off somewhere. Lily was blindfolded in the backseat though.
"So where are we going?" Lily asked.
"It's a secret." May replied.
Tikki and Trixx looked at each other with intrigue.
Outside of Le Grand Paris
The Rossi's car soon arrived outside of Le Grand Paris. John and May got of the car. May went over to the back and guided Lily out of the car and she along with John guided their daughter inside.
"Where are we going?" Lily asked.
"Just wait a minute." May replied.
Soon enough, they stopped in their steps. John went behind and took off the blindfold. Lily opened her eyes and was surprised to see her grandparents, friends and classmates in the room.
"SURPRISE!!!"
"Happy Birthday!" Chloé squealed as she hugged Lily who smiled and hugged her back.
"Thank you all." Lily smiled softly at everyone. 248Please respect copyright.PENANANj9DTQwVrF
Everyone was enjoying the party. Lily had noticed that Marinette and Alya weren't here. She was glad that Marinette wasn't here, but she really wouldn't have minded if had Alya attended. Having her parents, friends and classmates here made her incredibly happy.
"Cake time!" John called out as he and Placide brought the cake over to Lily.
{A/N: Pretend the number 15 candle is on the top along with the words "Happy Birthday Lily".}
Everyone began singing 'Happy Birthday'. Lily smiled softly at this. She was truly happy to see her loved ones here. Even though Tikki and Trixx couldn't come out, but they're still with her.
"And many mooooore!" Rose sang.
"Now make a wish, sweetheart." John said.
Lily gazed at the candle for a moment and closed her eyes, 'I wish to be happy with my loved ones forever and rescue Nooroo...and finally admit my feelings towards the boy I love.' She wished before she blew the candle out.
Everyone clapped and cheered. John and Placide placed the cake on the table. May began cutting the cake and handed the first slice to Lily. Then she handed out slices to everyone.
"Alright! Present time. My present first!" Chloé decided as she handed her present to Lily.
Lily gently took the present and ripped off the wrapping paper and saw a small jewelry box. She lifted the lid and was surprised to see four rings.
{A/N: Imagine the initials are Lily, Adrien, Félix, Chloé, Sabrina and Zoé's.}
"These are friendship rings. I felt the need to buy these for us. Don't worry, I got one for Félix and Zoé too." Chloé explained.
"Wow, thanks, Chloé." Lily smiled and put on one ring on her second finger on her right hand. Then she gave the others to Chloé, Sabrina and Adrien who were happy to have them. The four gave a group hug.
"They're beautiful, Chloé." Sabrina complimented.
"Yeah." Adrien agreed.
"You always known the best accessories to have." Lily complimented.
"I know." Chloé patted her ponytail.
"Here's mine." Adrien handed his present.
Lily teared off the wrapping paper to reveal a puzzle set.
"A 3D Wooden Puzzles DIY Mechanical Wooden Wide Model Kit! It's a Magic Castle theme too!" Lily beamed.
"You've been talking about getting one. So I thought you might like this one." Adrien said.
Lily hugged him, "Thank you, Adrien."
Adrien smiled and hugged her back, "You're welcome, Lily."
"Am I next?" Sabrina asked.
"Of course, Sabrina." Lily replied as Sabrina handed her gift to her.
Lily took off the wrapping paper and smiled at the present.
"How did you know I need new makeup?" Lily asked.
"I might have overheard you wanting to get another set." Sabrina admitted and chuckled.
Lily hugged Sabrina in thanks.
"Félix and Zoé sent their gifts as well." John brought over two presents.
"Fei and Kagami as well." May brought over two presents as well.
"Fei? Kagami?" Adrien questioned.
"Adrien, don't tell me you forgot." Lily said.
"I might have." Adrien admitted, sheepishly.
"Fei is the girl you and your parents helped out in Shanghai, right?" Sabrina asked.
"Kagami is the girl who you fought against in a fencing tournament back in Italy, correct?" Chloé added.
"Both correct. Fei is an orphan girl who was having trouble finding a job. Luckily, my family and I found her a place for her to stay and someone to take care of her. Kagami became one of my new friends after she defeated me in the fencing tournament at my old school." Lily explained.
"Kagami's a fencer?" Adrien questioned.
"Yeah, you'll have a real hard time fighting her." Lily teased.
"Oh we'll see." Adrien smiled.
Lily gently took Zoé's present and tore off the wrapping to reveal the present.
"Whoa! Cool headphones!" Nino beamed.
"Nice." Alix added.
"Zoé picked out the best kind." Lily smiled.
"She always does." Chloé bragged.
"Indeed. What did Félix get you?" Adrien asked.
Lily opened Félix's gift to reveal a set of tea containers.
"They look so cute!" Rose beamed.
"Félix knows that I like to have tea any time of the day." Lily stated.
"He sure does." John agreed.
May handed Fei's gift to her and took off the wrapping. It was a black slim case. Then she took off the lid and gasped at what the gift is.
"What a beautiful fan." Lily picked up the fan and opened it.
"It's so pretty." Rose complimented.
"I have to admit that Fei has good taste." Chloé admitted.
"Yeah." Sabrina agreed.
"I wonder what Kagami got for you." May spoke up.
May handed the small box to Lily who gently took it. She opened the box and smiled at what was inside.
"What's that?" Kim asked.
"It's an Omamori." Lily replied.
"Omawhat?" Kim questioned.
"Omamori. In Japan, an Omamori is an amulet, or good luck charm, and comes from the Japanese word mamoru (守る ), meaning to protect. The amulet contains prayers written on paper and sealed inside small pouches of embroidered brocade." Max explained.
"Whoa." Kim said.
"It's so cute and pretty." Mylène complimented.
"Kagami chose well." Lily agreed.
The party continued on. However, Adrien had to leave as much as everyone had to. Lily and her family offered to help clean. But Chloé assured them that they don't need to, and the staff will take care of it. John and May had already put the gifts in the car. Lily thanked her and everyone for coming. She helped send everyone off. Adrien walked over to her.
"So, did you have a good birthday?" Adrien asked.
"Yeah. I had a great time." Lily smiled with clasped behind her back.
"I'm glad. The girls and I worked hard with your parents to make this possible." Adrien stated.
"Really? You and the girls?" Lily questioned.
"Mostly Chloé though." Adrien admitted, sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head.
Lily giggled, "I had a feeling."
Then they heard someone honking a car horn. The two looked to the car and Placide who was gesturing to Adrien that they had to leave. Adrien turned to Lily who looked at him with a soft knowing smile. He returned the smile. Unexpectedly, he placed his lips on her forehead. Lily breath hitched when she felt Adrien's lips against her forehead. He stepped back and Lily could see that Adrien's cheeks flushed pink as well as Lily's.
"Well, uh, happy birthday, Lily." Adrien stuttered before he waved and headed to his car. Once he was in, the window went down, and he waved goodbye as Lily waved goodbye back.
Once the car was out of sight, she placed her hand on her forehead where Adrien's lips.
'His lips. They're so soft.' Lily thought in a daze.
She had never thought that Adrien would do something so bold towards her. She started to think that Adrien might have feelings towards her. Not as Lady Scarlet, but as Lily Rossi. She'll wait for the day when he'll confess his feelings.
"Lily, are you okay?" May asked, breaking Lily out of her thoughts.
"Y-Yeah." Lily stuttered.
"Okay then. Let's go home." May decided.
"Right." Lily agreed.
And so, Lily and parents entered the car and headed home.
Rossi Residence - Lily's Room
Lily was laying down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. The scene of Adrien placing his lips against her forehead kept repeating in her mind. It was started to keep her up for some reason.
"Thinking of Adrien?" Trixx teased as he floated next to Lily.
Lily's eyes widened as her cheeks flushed red at Adrien's name.
"She's blushing." Tikki teased, floating on the other side of Lily.
Lily continued to stare at the ceiling. She knew that Adrien liked her heroine form, Lady Scarlet. But it was possible that he was also falling for her civilian form, Lily Rossi. Now the only she could do was wait for Adrien to come to terms with his feelings. She'll continue to wait for him.
Agreste Mansion - Adrien's Room
"You kissed her...on the forehead?" Plagg teased, sitting on the pillow next to Adrien's head.
Adrien was laying down on his bed, looking up at the ceiling. He kept thinking about the kiss he gave on Lily's forehead. He didn't know why he did, perhaps he thought how beautiful Lily looked when she smiled at him. Without a second thought, he had kissed her forehead. Even though had feelings for Lady Scarlet, but somehow his feelings for Lily felt stronger. He so badly wanted to tell her that he was Cat Noir, but that would mean that she would be in danger. Perhaps he should still wait for the right moment. Right now, he was content.
'Wait for me, Lily. I'll tell you the truth...one day.' Adrien thought before he closed his eyes and went to sleep.248Please respect copyright.PENANACBREnWEnEo
