Rossi Residence - Lily's Room - Night
"Another patrol, done." Lady Scarlet said after she detransformed into her civilian form.
"So far, no akuma attacks this week." Tikki stated.
"Yeah." Trixx added.
"I hope we can relax for a bit." Lily prayed.
Suddenly, the lights turned on in the room. Then Lily and the two Kwamis froze at who they saw sitting on Lily's bed; May and John Rossi, Lily's parents.
"Uh oh." Lily, Tikki and Trixx muttered in surprise.
"You have a lot of explaining, young lady." May stated.
"And you better start now." John demanded.
Lily and the two Kwamis gulped in nervousness.
"Can we have a snack first?" Trixx suggested, shyly.
May and John glanced at each other and looked back at Lily and the Kwamis.
"I suppose so." May agreed.
May had brought up some hot chocolate and some cookies to Lily's room. Lily was sitting in her chair as she explained how she obtained the Ladybug Miraculous. But she had lied on how she obtained the Fox Miraculous which was that it was found next to the Ladybug Miraculous. She wanted to keep Master Fu's identity a secret for now.
"So you're Lady Scarlet?" John asked.
Lily nodded as she took a sip of her hot chocolate.
"You know, we would have appreciated it if you told us that you were Lady Scarlet, Lily." May suggested.
"Trust me, I wanted to. But Tikki and Trixx warned me not to tell anyone." Lily said.
"It's true. All heroes must keep their hero identity a secret." Tikki stated, taking a bite of her cookie.
"But I think Lily should have told her parents. I know how hard it is to keep such a secret." Trixx commented, taking a bite of his cookie.
"I guess that's true." Tikki agreed.
Silence went over the room.
"So what do we do now?" John asked.
"Will you two promise to keep Lily's hero identity a secret?" Tikki requested.
"Of course we will, Tikki." May promised.
"After, Lily is our special girl. We'll do everything we can to protect her." John added.
Lily smiled softly at her parents when she heard those words. She put her cup down and went over to hug her parents.
"Thank you so much, mom, dad." Lily thanked them.
The couple smiled at their daughter and hugged her back. Tikki and Trixx joined in by hugging Lily's cheeks. Soon enough, they all separate from each other while still smiling.
Lily was very happy right now. Even though her secret identity was unexpectedly revealed to her parents, they still accepted her decision to fight against Hawk Moth.

Rossi Residence - Next Day
Lily, May, Tikki and Trixx were working in the kitchen, making soup for dinner. Lily had just arrived home from doing homework with Chloe and Sabrina at Chloe's place and decided to help May with dinner. Tikki and Trixx decided to help too. The two Kwamis were helping as much as they could as Lily and May instructed them how to measure things and set the table.
"Now, make sure not to put too much salt or else it will ruin the taste." May instructed.
Trixx nodded as he held the teaspoon, "Okay." Then he put the teaspoon in the salt container and made sure he had the right amount. He floated over to May and showed her the teaspoon of salt.
"Yup, that's the right amount, Trixx." May confirmed.
Trixx poured the teaspoon of salt into the soup, "Done!"
"I'm home!" John called out, "Don't worry, I'm by myself!"
"We're in the kitchen!" May called back.
John came in and walked over to May and Lily and wrapped his arms around them.
"Welcome home, dear." May said before she gave John a small kiss.
"It's good to be home." John smiled.
"Welcome home, dad." Lily hugged John back.
Tikki and Trixx hugged John's cheek. John chuckled and gently patted them.
"It's good to see you two little mischiefs." John said.
Tikki and Trixx giggled.
"Alright, dinner is now ready." May announced.
"Good, I'm starving." John commented.
Then the family sat down and began eating their dinner. They talked about the ups and downs of their day. Lily talked how she and Cat Noir had to fight an Akumatized villain, Mr. Pigeon, on her way home. Lily had to admit that it was a little bit hard, but luckily Cat Noir's plan actually worked.
Dinner was soon over, and everyone was clearing away the dishes and putting the food into Tupperware. Once everything was cleared up, May brought out a strawberry cake for everyone to enjoy. Afterwards, John remembered something.
"By the way, Lily, there's something that arrived in mail for you." John said.
"Really? What is it?" Lily questioned.
"Go check upstairs in your room." John suggested.
Quickly, she ran up the stairs with the two Kwamis flying beside her towards her room. When they got there, they were surprised at what they saw: a vintage looking chest.
{A/N: Pretend that there's an ancient combination lock with a upside fox tail shape on it and five circles around it where the latch is.}
"Hey dad, where did you get this?" Lily asked.
"Oh, this is from your grandmother. She found it in the attic and thought that you might like it." John explained.
Lily gazed at the trunk with curiosity. Tikki and Trixx floated beside her.
"That's an interesting chest." Trixx commented.
"Indeed. I can sense a lot of history coming from it." Tikki added.
"So, do you like it?" May asked.
Lily smiled softly at her parents, "I love it."
"It also came with this." John took out an old leather journal from his jacket pocket.
"A journal?" Lily gently took the journal from John.
"Yeah, grandma thought you would also like to learn about your ancestor, Tabithia Caputo." John said.
"Tabithia?" Lily blinked in shock.
May nodded, "Grandma wanted you to know about her. I'm not sure why though." She said.
"Well, I can't wait to read it." Lily smiled.
"Then we'll leave you to it." John smiled back.
Lily was reading Tabithia's journal with Tikki and Trixx were sitting on her shoulders, reading the journal as well.
"Wow, Tabithia and Bianca really worked hard while they were on their own." Lily commented.
"Yeah, Bianca was there for Tabithia when she truly needed help." Trixx said.
"Kind of like sisters." Tikki agreed.
Lily had to agree. Despite giving up her position as a princess, Tabithia worked hard to live a good life. Bianca was there for her during her struggles. Even though she could have left Tabithia to live her own life, she wanted to be with her friend who treated her like a sister. Then they spotted a peculiar entry.
"Look at this entry. 'May 18, 1496. Today, I met someone very interesting. He was very kind to me when I almost dropped my basket of apples. His name was Azar and he's a merchant, traveling the world which I envied him of. He had told me that I was very intelligent and wondered why I was just a seamstress and making embroidery for a living. I simply told him that I like doing embroidery and hoped that everyone who enjoy my dresses. Azar simply smiled at me and told me that I was kind and had a strong spirit. I felt my heart was bursting to come out of my chest when he said those words. I also felt my cheeks flare up too. Was this a feeling of love at first sight?'. Wow, Tabithia really crushing on Azar." Lily said.
"Indeed. She sounds so nice." Tikki commented.
"It does sounds like love at first sight between the two." Trixx added.
"Perhaps." Lily said before she yawned, "Let's get ready for bed, we'll read the rest of the journal in the morning."
"Good idea." Tikki agreed.
And so, Lily took a shower, brushed her teeth and put on a pair of pajamas. Then she and her two Kwamis went to sleep.

Rossi Residence - Lily's Room - Next Day
Lily finished reading the journal and let out a sigh and gazed at the lock in front of the chest for a moment. Tikki and Trixx had tried to phase through the chest earlier after they got up, but they couldn't enter which shocked the two Kwamis.
"I wish we knew what the combination is." Trixx commented.
"Don't worry, we'll figure it out." Tikki assured him.
Lily tried to figure out what the numbers could be. Then she remembered Tabithia's journal and looked at the dates of the entries.
"What are you doing, Lily?" Trixx asked.
"I think one of these dates must be the key to opening the chest." Lily replied.
"That's great!" Trixx beamed.
"But what about the other key? What do think it is?" Tikki questioned.
That made Lily paused at the page of the entry she found. She walked over to the chest and gazed back at the lock, analyzed the shape. It almost looked like a fishhook. Then she got another idea and went over to her desk. She opened one of her desk drawers and spotted a jewelry box. She opened the box which contained her grandma's necklace inside. She walked over the chest and placed her grandma's necklace in the keyhole and turned it into a vertical angle; she turned the first dial to the number five. She turned the second dial to the number eighteen and then the third dial to fourteen. The fourth was nine and then the last one was at six. Suddenly there was a click. Lily, Tikki and Trixx were nervous at this, but Lily carefully opened the box. When the lid was lifted, the three were surprised at what was inside the box; a Miraculous box and Grimoire!
{A/N: The design for the Miraculous box doesn't belong to me. But I did somewhat design the Grimoire.}
"Is that a Miraculous box?!" Trixx exclaimed.
"Yeah, and there's a Grimoire!" Tikki added.
"We better call Master Fu. Maybe he might know." Lily suggested.
"Good idea!" Tikki and Trixx agreed.
Fu's Massage Shop
Fu and Wayzz were both enjoying a nice cup of tea when Fu heard his phone ringing. He took out his phone and it was requesting facetime with Lily. Curious as to why Lily was calling him, he accepted the request. Lily's face appeared on the screen, and she looked concerned.
"Master Fu, thank you for picking up." Lily said with relief.
"You're welcome, Lily. But why are you calling me?" Fu questioned.
"I wanted to show you this." Lily turned her phone to the inside of the chest. When Fu and Wayzz saw what was inside, their eyes widened in disbelief.
"A Miraculous box?!" Fu exclaimed.
"And a Grimoire?!" Wayzz exclaimed.
The screen turned back to Lily, "Yeah, we were surprised too. What should we do?" she asked.
"Bring both box and grimoire over here, quickly." Fu requested.
"Got it." Lily promised.
Fu's Massage Shop - Later
Fu examined the box carefully as Lily looked at the pages in the Grimoire.
"I thought this Miraculous box would be lost forever." Fu commented.
"From what I can see from this Grimoire, there seemed to be some interesting Miraculouses in there." Lily added.
"What did you find?" Fu asked.
"Wolf, Blue Jay, Red Panda, Phoenix, Owl, Hummingbird, Pink Dolphin, Leopard, Lion, Deer, Bat, Armadillo, Pegasus, Chimera, Falcon, Unicorn, Raven, Panther, Penguin, Squid, Yellow Macaw, Donkey, Golden Snake, Jackal, Kangaroo, Lynx and Spider." Lily listed.
Fu gasped, "Those are indeed rare Miraculouses!" He said.
"How so?" Lily asked, curious.
"The Phoenix, Hummingbird, Chimera, Pegasus, Raven, Squid, Golden Snake and the Unicorn Miraculous are some of the most powerful because of their powers." Fu explained.
"Their powers?" Lily questioned.
"The Phoenix had the ultimate control of fire while the Hummingbird could increase or decrease their bearer's power and control plant life. The Unicorn has purifying light element magic. The Pegasus is also powerful because you can made anything fictional into a living being. The Chimera is quite a mysterious one as well. From what I know, it's the power of combination. The Raven is just as powerful because it can predict their opponents' attacks. The Golden Snake has great healing abilities. The Squid is able to control the body of any person like a puppet. The Owl has the ability to strengthen a bearer's mind," Fu explained, "The Blue Jay-
"Is able to cause hurricanes in any shapes or sizes. The Kangaroo is able to trap anyone or anything in its marsupium. The Pink Dolphin also has great control of Water as well. The Lion is known for its great strength and resistance except for magic attacks. The Panther is able to use the shadows and hide to take things. The Red Panda is able to turn anyone invisible as well. The Falcon's power can launch lightning bolts. The Wolf can release loud howls and turn into a wolf. The Penguin gives the bearer the ability to control ice and snow-" Lily read from the Grimoire before Fu interrupted her.
Fu turned to Lily with surprise, "Lily, are you able to translate that Grimoire?!" He exclaimed.
"I think so. Do you think that I was gifted with the ability of translation when I transmigrated?" Lily questioned.
"It might be possible." Fu stated.
"Well, at least we have an advantage for the future." Lily smiled.
"Perhaps." Wayzz agreed.
A silence entered the room for the moment.
"So what should we do with this Miraculous box and Grimoire?" Lily asked.
Fu and Wayzz gazed at the two items that sat in front of them. Even though these were powerful Miraculouses, they couldn't let those with ill intentions get their hands on them. However, it was predicted that Lily would inherit these two items. Perhaps, he should take a chance.
"I believe that you should be the guardian of this Miraculous box and Grimoire, Lily." Fu decided.
Lily, Tikki and Trixx along Wayzz were surprised by Fu's decision.
"Are you sure, Master Fu?" Lily questioned, shocked.
Fu nodded, "I trust you, Lily. I know that you'll take good care of these Miraculouses." He said.
"How can you be sure, Master Fu?" Lily asked.
"It was believed that a guardian who was also the holder of the Phoenix Miraculous was a psychic. He predicted that in the future, one of his descendants would become the future guardian of these Miraculouses. So naturally, I believe that you're his descendant who is meant to be the Guardian, Lily." Fu explained.
Lily gazed at the Miraculous box and the Grimoire. She was very uncertain about having the responsibility of taking care of the Miraculouses in the box. She never thought she would become a guardian as well! These new Miraculouses were complete unknowns to her.
Suddenly, Tikki hugged Lily's left cheek while Trixx hugged her right cheek. Lily was surprised by the sudden affection and then she smiled softly as she placed her hands on the two Kwamis.
"Thanks, you two." Lily thanked the two Kwamis.
Then Tikki and Trixx floated by her sides and Lily looked towards Master Fu.
"Alright, I'll be the guardian of this Miraculous Box." Lily declared.
Fu and Wayzz smiled at her answer.
"Very good. How about we begin some lessons?" Fu suggested.
Lily nodded, "Sure."
Rossi Residence - Lily's Room
Lily was reading the Grimoire along with Tikki and Trixx who were sitting on her shoulders. She was amazed by the Miraculouses in this box. When she got home, she started making a box where she could hide the Miraculous box and Grimoire. It was similar to Marinette's, but it was orange colored with her name on it.
{A/N: The box is similar to Marinette's sewing kit. But these are the patterns and designs on the box.}
"What do the other Miraculouses do?" Trixx asked.
"The Lynx grants the power of super vision. The Leopard will give the wearer super speed. The bat grants the power of super hearing and sound manipulation. The Deer gives the wearer to always hit their target no matter the distance or position. The Armadillo grants the bearer the power to eliminate any obstacle in their path, trapping them within the dimension of their ball. The Jackal grants the power to create a magical canine being and assign it a function, the size can vary according to the needs and desires of the bearer, and the created auxiliaries obey only the bearer and fulfill their designated function with diligence. The Donkey grants the power to create weapons, armor, or artifacts and give them special abilities from materials found around you. This power can also enhance existing weapons and grant them new functionality. The Yellow Macaw grants the bearer to become an expert in any field using magical feathers that give them necessary knowledge. The Spider grants the wielder the power to bring to life the worst fears of those struck by its magical silk." Lily explained.
{A/N: All the info about the Miraculous do not belong to me. They belong to their original owners. But I also might have changed a few things as well.}
"The Spider sounds kinda scary." Tikki commented.
"Well I'm sure we'll all get along somehow." Lily assured her.
"Perhaps you're right." Tikki said.
When Lily was at Fu's place, she had told him that her parents had found out that she was Lady Scarlet. Fu looked like he was about to have a heart attack, but she assured him that they'll keep her hero identity as secret which relieved him. Lily knew that she needed to make some kind of protection object for them.
"Lily, Tikki, Trixx, dinner time!" May called out from downstairs.
"Coming!" Lily shouted before she closed the Grimoire and put it in the sewing box along with the Miraculous Box. Then the three headed downstairs.
As they ate dinner, Lily and the two Kwamis told May and John about what they found in the chest. Tikki and Trixx told them about meeting the Guardian but didn't reveal his name. Her parents were glad that she had a teacher to be a Guardian and promised to be supportive of her especially when it came to excuses of where she is while she's being a hero or learning to be a Guardian. Lily was grateful to have such loving and supporting parents.
Lily's Room - Night
Lily was sitting by her windowsill, looking up at the stars. Tikki and Trixx floated over to her.
"Lily, are you okay?" Tikki asked.
The Rossi girl let out a sigh, "Do you really think I can be a Guardian?" She asked.
Tikki and Trixx were surprised at their holder's question. They glanced at each other for a moment and smiled with a nod.
"Of course you can, Lily." Tikki assured her.
"You'll be the greatest of them all!" Trixx cheered.
Lily smiled softly at Tikki and Trixx. She was really glad that she had these two Kwamis in her new life.
"Thank you, Tikki, Trixx." Lily thanked them.
With the reassurance of her two Kwamis, Lily had the confidence that she would be a great Guardian.
