Chapter 328 - Chapter 328: The Ceremony Of Keeper Of The Secret And Chloe's Birthday Celebration

(Once at the garden, the group walked into the Guang Baohu Temple, noticing that it now looked like the inside of a Shinto Temple from myth with the smell of incense and vanilla in the air as the Miraculous Team looked on and smiled, as they took sides.)

Marinette: "Go on."

(Marinette said.)

Marinette: "Step forwards."

(The Omni-Team did so before kneeling before Master Fu with a look of determination.)

Kevin: "Why are we doing this again?"

(Kevin asked.)

Gwen: "Show some respect, this is serious!"

(Gwen glared.)

Master Fu: "Ben Tennyson, Jen Tennyson, Gwen Tennyson, Rebecca Tennyson, Kevin Levin, Allison Levin... you are here, because you have discovered the identity of one of the miraculous holders. As such, we have all decided to grant you the highest honour one can receive from us... becoming the keepers of the secret of the Miraculous order. Tell me, is it your wish to become a keeper of the secret?"

(Master Fu spoke in a gentle yet serious tone.)

Jen: "Yes, Master Fu."

(Jen said, speaking for the group.)

Master Fu: "Then, repeat" after me. I, say your name here, solely swear..."

(Master Fu Said.)

Everyone: "I, Ben Tennyson/Jen Tennyson/Gwen Tennyson/Becky Tennyson/Kevin Levin/Allison Levin, solely swear..."

(they all chorused, Kevin rolling his eyes.)

Master Fu: "...to protect the secret of this order..."

Everyone: "...to protect the secret of this order..."

Master Fu: "...by not revealing what I know to anyone outside of it..."

Everyone: "...by not revealing what I know to anyone outside of it..."

Master Fu: "...And to always be ready to help the Miraculous heroes, in their time of need."

Everyone: "...And to always be ready to help the Miraculous heroes, in their time of need."

Master Fu: "With that, I pronounce you six Keepers of the Secret."

(Master Fu said.)

Master Fu: "And, so you might be recognized by others who might also become keepers, we now bestow these upon you."

(It was then that all the kwamis gave hands, forming a circle.)

(Focusing, they started to glow.)

(This glow lasted only a few seconds, after which six small pieces of golden metal in ancient Chinese symbols, with small tiny golden chains attached to them.)

(Grabbing the necklaces, he placed them around the little girl's neck, smiling.)

Master Fu: "Promise to never take them off. They'll not only signify you as Keepers to Manon and future Keepers of the Secret, but they will also protect you."

(Master Fu said with a nod.)

Becky: "No offense, Master Fu."

(Becky smiled.)

Becky: "We're superheroes too. Danger follows us wherever we go."

Allison: "But we'll always be ready for it. We always have been."

(Allison said.)

Chloe: "Then I hope you packed your dresses for your vacation. Because you're all invited to my birthday cotillion in three days."

(Chloe smiled as she crossed her arms and smiled to the American heroes.)

Jen: "Done."

(Jen said with a smile.)

Jen: "I was hoping to save my dress for prom night, but this works."

Ben: "Sure."

(Ben said with a smile.)

Kevin: "Do we have to?"

(Kevin asked with a groan.)

Gwen: "Yes, we do. It's impolite, especially since she's the mayor's daughter."

(Gwen said with a groan.)

Allison: "Let's do it."

(Allison said with a smile as she tucked her new necklace into her shirt and smiled.)

Ben: "Get ready. It's going to be the last day of our vacation."

(Ben said.)

(3 Days later...)

(It was night time at the ball room of the Le Grand Paris hotel as The Miraculous Team, clad in their homemade suits and dresses courtesy of Marinette were gathered, discussing the last few days with their new friends and smiled, raising their glasses of soda and punch to them as they smiled as Chloe stood up and Sabrina walked over to her with a gift.)

(A string section consisting of cellos and violins played throughout the ballroom.)

Kevin: "Man, it's boring here."

(Kevin said as his sister, clad in her black dress with a bow at the side and her hair in a ponytail, smiled, jabbing his arm before taking a bite out of a macaroon, which Marinette had provided from her family's bakery.)

Allison: "Lighten up, little bro. I know you haven't been invited to a party before, but you could act a little more enthusiastic."

Kevin: "I don't see that happening, sis."

(Kevin said and then sighed as Gwen walked over and took a bite of her crostini with chicken liver pate and smiled at him.)

Gwen: "So, how's the party?"

Kevin: "It's fine, Gwen. Chloe knows how to throw an elegant party."

(he said.)

Kevin: "And that's part of the problem. You know I'm not elegant."

Gwen: "Both are true."

(Gwen said with a smile.)

Gwen: "But this spread is amazing."

Kevin: "That I'll admit is true."

(Marinette was on the dance floor, dancing with Adrien with a smile as they looked up.)

Adrien: "You think we can trust them?"

(Adrien asked as he looked to the twins talking to each other as Marinette smiled as they passed by Rose and Juleka dancing as well.)

Marinette: "We're separated by the ocean, Adrien. Plus, they're superheroes too. We'll be fine."

(Ben and Jen smiled as they looked to each other.)

Jen: "So."

(she said to him, clinking their punches together in cheers.)

Jen: "We've had one crazy vacation, haven't we bro?"

Ben: "We sure did."

(Ben sighed, sitting down.)

Ben: "Nothing like what Mom and Dad had planned, eh?"

Jen: "Not at all."

(Jen said as they hugged.)

Jen: "Would you do it again?"

Ben: "Oh, in a heartbeat."

(Ben said as they both laughed together, cracking up.)

Ben: "In a heartbeat."

Sabrina; "Happy birthday, Chloe."

(she said with a smile as Chloe took the box and jabbed her best friend in the shoulder, adding her gift to the top of the stack.)

Chloe: "I'm sure it's going to be the best from you, Sabrina."

(Chloe smiled.)

Chloe: "After all, you are my best friend."

(They hugged before Sabrina walked off before Chloe's butler, Jean walked over and looked to her.)

Jean: "Ms. Bourgeois, I have bad news."

(he said.)

Jean: "Jagged Stone called out sick today. He's not going to be able to perform."

Chloe: "What?!"

(Chloe asked.)

Chloe: "But Daddy specifically requested him to perform at my party tonight! Tonight's going to be a disaster!"

(Jen heard this and looked on as she walked on over and put her hands at her sides, seeing the roadies set up guitars, drums and a piano on the stage by the string section.)

Jen: "What's this I hear about Jagged Stone?"

(she asked as Allison and Becky walked over to her sides.)

Chloe: "He's sick. He can't go on tonight."

(she said.)

Chloe: "And I have no one else to perform."

Allison: "Jen will perform!"

(Allison said as everyone looked over to her as her cheeks turned beet red and she gasped.)

Jen: "Me?"

Becky: "Yes, you. You're an amazing singer and you have some really good songs in your collection. You'll do great."

(Becky said.)

Ben: "You always do."

(Ben said, jabbing his sister's shoulder as she smiled and looked to the stage.)

Jen: "Alright."

(she smiled.)

Jen: "I'll do it for you, Chloe."

Sabrina: "Let's hear it for Jen!"

(Sabrina said to the crowd as they all applauded Jen as she took to the stage as she ducked backwards and then snapped her fingers, activating a spell which summoned a stack of song sheets for her latest creation that she handed to the band members as she nodded her head and then took a guitar, which she slung over her shoulder and then smiled.)

Jen: "This one's for our new friends."

(she said as she nodded to the band, the piano starting to play with the string section slowly playing as she started strumming her guitar rhythmically and then singing into the microphone.)

Jen: "I woke up this morning With this feeling inside me that I can't explain

Like a weight that I've carried been carried away Away. But I know something is coming And I don't know what it is but I know It's amazing, it saved me My time is coming I'll find my way out Of this longest drought."

(It was at that point that the rest of the band all kicked in, hitting it into high gear as she reached the chorus.)

Jen: "And it feels like today, I know

It feels like today, I'm sure It's the one thing that's missing The one thing I'm wishing The last sacred blessing and hey It feels like today Feels like today You treat life like a picture But it's not a moment that's frozen in time It's not gonna wait til you make up your mind

At all So while this storm is breaking

And while there's light at the end of the tunnel Keep running towards it Releasing the pressure that's your heartache Soon this dam will break And it feels like today, I know It feels like today, I'm sure It's the one thing that's missing The one thing you're wishing The last sacred blessing and hey It feels like today It feels like today

Oh, oh, oh, whoa Oh, oh, whoa! It feels like today, I know Feels like today

It feels like today, I'm sure It's the one thing that's missing The one thing you're wishing The last sacred blessing and hey It feels like today

(Feels like, feels like, your life)

Feels like today (Feels like, feels like, your life) It's the one thing that's missing The one thing you're wishing

The last sacred blessing and hey!"

(That was when the music briefly stopped, leaving the dancing audience all stunned at Jen's beautiful voice with a smile before she finished with strumming the guitar with the backup singers finishing with her.)

Jen: It feels like today (Feels like, feels like your life) Feels like today (Feels like, feels like, your life Changing...)

(With the song finished, the audience all applauded and cheered wildly as Jen set down the guitar and hugged her brother with a smile as the Chloe and Marinette walked up to her and jabbed her arm.)

Marinette: "Great job, girl."

(Marinette said.)

Marinette: "You're great."

Ben: "So."

(Ben said to Chloe with a smile.)

Ben: "Is she as good as we told you?"

Chloe: "No."

(Chloe scoffed as everyone turned their heads to her and she smiled.)

Chloe: "She's better. Your sister has a gift."

Jen: "It's not the only gift, you know."

(Jen said.)

Chloe: "Of course."

(It was at that point that the party continued and they all danced the night away as the Omni-Team looked on.)

Gwen: "We're telling them about the Highbreed, right?"

(Gwen asked.)

Allison: "Duh. We'll tell them before we leave in the morning."

(Allison said.)

(They then all continued partying, knowing that they had just added 14 more members to their ever-growing team against the DNAliens and the Highbreed.)

(This was going to be epic when they finally faced off.)
