(Backstory part 4)Chapter 11 - Management Team?

Marinette's POV:

"Hey Marinette, I wonder how they 'magically' choose our rooms for us? I mean, it's impossible!" Alix asked me

"Honestly Alix, I really don't know....."

"Well I wanna know. Whoever' doing this deserves a big ol' raise!" She cheered

"Hey, whatcha girls talking about?" Adrien came behind me

"Oh. Hey Agreste." Alix scoffed

"What's with that tone Alix? Did I do something wrong?" Adrien asked

"We all know this 'vacation' is some kind of prank that you're setting up!" Alix growled

"What?! No! I really do want to make up for my actions in the past!" Adrien cleared

"Yeah right! Once a troublemaker always a troublemaker! Can't believe girls in this school fall for you." Alix scoffed once again

Suddenly, a man came behind us

"Is there anything wrong?" The mysterious old man asked

"nO! i mean uHh-- no, sir..."

"Then please keep it down, there are other people in this resort." The man politely said

"Yes sir......" we said in unison

He walked away

"You can keep up your 'nice streak' but no one will forget who you really are. A big old smelly sack of daddy issues." Alix growled which made Adrien frown

"I think that's too far, Alix...."

"Ugh! Whatever! I'm going to the breakfast area!"

"Jeez, I didn't know how much of a douche she was." Adrien scoffed

"You're also a douche...."

"Touché." He snickered

He rubbed the back of his neck and slouched

"I wish I could just reverse time. I don't like my image in this school." He truthfully mumbled

I patted his back "Its alright Agreste. They'll warm up to you, eventually. I know I have."

"H-How's your room by the way?" He tried to changed the subject

I just rolled with him changing the subject. It was getting to cliché.

"Perfect! Even Alix liked it! And she's a hard girl to persuade."

"Ours too. (Referring to Kim and him) I wonder how they find our dream rooms....." he wondered

We saw the mysterious man from earlier looking around to see if anybody was looking before he entered a door.

Adrien looked at me mischievously.

"OHOHOHO-- NO AGRESTE! NOT THAT FACE WE ARE N--"

I ended up helping him know what that mysterious man was hiding

We tried opening the door: "it's locked!" Adrien yelled

"Shhh!" We looked around to see if anybody heard that

"I know how to handle this." I took a hairpin out of my hair and unlocked the door

"Woah! How'd you learn how to do that?!" Adrien brightened up

"I did some....mischievous things back when I had no home."

"You've gotta tell me what you've done someday! Hah!" He snickered

"Yeah it's not a story with a happy ending."

We entered the room and it was a room with 3 doors.

"What the?!"

With it was a sign

"One of these doors unlocks a secret
That might reveal a leaflet
Of the most mystical knowledge you'll cherish forever
So be careful, young traveler."

"Oooo, rhymes!" Adrien was astonished

"There's another one!"

"The door you seek
Is hidden in deep
With m as the first letter
And e will be your final treasure"

"Let's just open any door!" Adrien said in frustration

"Wait!" I grabbed his arm as he was about to reach for the first door.

"Be careful! The wrong door will end to your demise
1 has a lion with fierce eyes
Another lies 50 birds
Who'll peck your eyes out, making your vision blurred."

We shivered

"I don't think I like this anymore...." Adrien stammered as he stayed behind me, holding my arm like I'm his mommy. (Oh no I keep rhyming heeeelp)

"Hmmmm...." I thought to myself

||"Starts with 'M'....ends with 'E'....."||

"M---eee---MIDDLE!!" I screamed

"THE MIDDLE DOOR!!! OPEN IT!!"

"OKAYOKAY!" Adrien replied back

We opened it and we saw the same mysterious man reading a book

(Please don't mind Wayzz in the background, kwamis don't exist in this AU)

"Ah, hello Adrien Agreste and Marinette Dupain-Cheng." The man greeted

"H-how did you know our names?" Adrien stuttered in fright

"You had to fill a paper remember? With all the names of the people staying here..." he replied

"oh."

The mysterious man stood up and  grabbed a pot, and filled it with water and started heating it

"He must be making tea." Adrien whispered in my ear

"Yes I am." The man grinned

"He heard me...." Adrien whispered in fright

"I have good hearing." The man replied once more

"He's magic Marinette!! Magic!!!" Adrien squealed

I rolled my eyes and walked torwards this bearded man

"Excuse me, sir. I just wanted to ask, but, how do rooms work in this place...?"

He ignored me and filled a tea cup with hot water. He took a tea bag and placed it in that cup. He sipped slowly

"He's stalling." I murmured

"Why would I be stalling, Mrs. Dupain-Cheng?" He looked at my direction

"Look at how slowly your sipping!"

"There's plenty of time on the clock. And I'm not getting younger." He said as he continued to sip his cup

Marinette scoffed, but Adrien made himself comfortable.

"Marinette, make yourself comfortable just like your boyfriend over there." The old man said in a teasing tone

"HE'S NOT— WE'RE NO—" We both stuttered at the same time

The old man chuckled. Adrien and I both groaned, were played.

The man finished sipping his cup. "So, you 2 were asking?"

"We were wondering how rooms worked in this place."

"I don't think you'll understand how." He smirked

"What? What's so hard with explaining?"

"Would you believe me if I see it in your faces?" He smirked once more

"What?"

"I've lives many lives Mrs. Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I've basically seen all of Paris. I know how your parents abused you, forced you to live on the streets. And I know how your father ignores you, Adrien Agreste." The wise man said

Adrien and I were both in awe. We just couldn't believe how he knew our deepest, darkest secrets.

"When you're as old as me, you'll take a walk throughout Paris, early in the morning. Admire every surrounding, everyday. You'd sit by a bench, wondering what things could've been. I'm too old for this world, I've memorized every face in Paris. There's no magic in this Agreste and Dupain-Cheng. Only wisdom." The man continued, his voice cracking.

"Oh man. That's dark" Adrien shivered

"I'm sorry for,yelling at you sir. I was just frustrated, I didn't know anybody could have wisdom like you...."

"Oh Marinette, my wisdom cannot succeed God's wisdom. This is just a gift, given onto me. Never forget that." The old man smiled

"Heh. Yeah...."

"Welp, if that's all the questions you have—" the old man was about to say his farewells before I interrupted him

"SIR WAIT!" I pleaded: "I just need to ask, who's your crew? In fact, where's your crew?"

"Maybe when you head to breakfast, you'll meet them. They all have name tags." He answered

"Alright, thanks Mr...uh....what is your name by the way? If you don't mind us asking..."

"Master Fu." He answered once more

"Oh, well, thanks Master Fu!"

Master Fu's POV:

"Those kids have some potential."

"Can I come out now master?" I could here my green haired son asked me

"Wayzz! I was wondering where you went! Why were you hiding in the closet?"

"You know I'm scared of meeting people master. I've never really had any social interaction, I only serve you." He shyly responded

"Well you need to get out soon. Those 2 kiddos need some type of romantic candle light dinner!"

"What? Why?!" He asked in confusion

"I totally ship them!"

"Master....please....." my disappointed son reacted

-------------------------

Adrien's POV

"Hey Marinette! And....Adrien...." Alix cheered, but made a more annoyed tone when she saw me

"Hey Alix!" Marinette waved

"You can get some food! The crew here are so nice! Especially the girl named 'Tikki'." Alix enthusiastically remarked

"Hello! What would you both like to get?" A red head with a big red circle on her hair asked us

"Oh hello—" I looked down to her name tag "—Tikki!"

"I don't feel hungry right now. How about you Marinette?"

"Not really feeling like it either." Marinette responded

"Well, if you need me, just call my name! Or bring out a batch of cookies!~" the polite crew member said before she walked away to serve other customers

I looked around to see the other crew members.

"Marinette! Look!" I shook Marinette's arm

We all saw the extraordinary looking crew member, from a pure dark-haired looking man to an orange-haired foxy looking lady.

"This place really is something" Marinette said in awe

"Yeah."
