It's been 5 years since we've defeated Hawk Moth. Who would have thought HawkMoth is Adrien's father. I finished high school after that. Ever since there hasn't been any Akuma attacks. So Chat and I didn't have to fight anyone. 5 years and I haven't been Ladybug. 5 years and I still don't know who Chat is. 5 years and I haven't seen him.
After high school, the whole gang split up. Adrien went to New York to model. Alya went to England to blog. Nino became a DJ and he now travels around the world. And me, well I'm still in France. Chloe is here with me too. She and I go to the same college here in France. I am studying fashion, and Chloe is studying business. It's lonely here in France without my friends. But I still have Tikki, and I also have Chloe. I do admit I am close friends with Chloe now. She learned to grow out of her petty ways after high school. I guess she finally learned to grow up. Chloe and I've been through a lot together. Our class got attacked by Akumas a lot during high school (which is mostly Chloe's fault). We have also known each other forever so I guess that's how we got closer.
Chloe and I also figured out each other's secrets. I was Ladybug and Chloe was Queen Bee. We accidentally saw each other's Kwamis one day while we were in our college's bathroom. Luckily no one else was in the bathroom. That also made us closer. Tikki now has another Kwami to hang with. Every time when Chloe and I hang out, Pollen and Tikki seemed to be doing the same.
One day I was just sitting on my balcony looking at the sunset. I was thinking about Adrien and the others. Wow has it been that long since I saw them? I wonder what they are doing right now? I heard a knocking on the trapdoor.
"Hey, Mari. You up there?"
Chloe opened the trap door and stood with me on the balcony. Today was a very lazy day for me, and for her too it seems. She yawned and stretched. She hugged me, and I hugged her back.
"Remember when we used to hate each other in high school? I can't believe how childish I was back then, right Mari?" said Chloe.
"Well, people can change over time," I replied.
People can change over time. What if Adrien and the others have changed. If Chloe and I've changed, can it be the same for the others? Will the boy I long for still have the same charming personality? Do I still have feelings for Adrien? Will my long lost friend still smile at me like she did? Alya and I are still best friends, right? I mean we text each other every day, and she will come back to Paris one day.
"What's wrong Marinette? You look down," said Chloe
"Well, you know how we changed. What if our friends from high school changed. When they come back will we be disappointed by the results?" I asked.
"Don't worry about it," said Chloe. She grabbed my hands. "I know what we should do on this boring day. Let's go eat out at a fancy restaurant. This meal is on me"
"Ok"
I got ready and we headed out. Two young women, strolling down the streets of a marvelous city in the night. They are going to a fancy dinner. What could ruin this perfect and relaxed night?
As I walked down the streets of Paris, I spotted something in the distance. A purple glowing butterfly. It flew for a while before landing on a person. It disappeared. It disappeared like it was being absorbed. It did it in a particular way. It did it in a way like how an Akuma would possess somebody.
