Hello everyone! This is my first Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction and i'm pretty excited about it! I've never seen this idea being written before...so i thought i'd give it a shot. I have so many ideas running around in my head right now it's amazing. I really hope I'll have the time to write more and more for this fandom.

The first chapter is mostly an introduction to the story. I originally planned to make it a one shot,but then i thought...why not have a little fun with it and make it a slow burn story? eheh. Anyways enjoy! I plan on updating soon,especially if people like it.

Marinette had never been so happy to be at school like that day.

Why?

It had been a year since her first adventure under the disguise of the spotted superhero. A year in which she had discovered she wasn't just a clumsy little girl,but her role was determinant for Paris civilians's safety,a year since she had met a certain black kitty,brave and bold,as much as irritating because of his endless cat puns. Marinette liked him for how he was anyway. They got each other's back,they trusted each other,they were a good team. Chat was also a huge flirt,nothing to say about that.

Despite all,night patrols and akuma fights wouldn't have been the same without her meowing chaton. On the occasion of the "Ladybug & Chat Noir Day",as promoted so by the mayor himself,the miraculous duo had decided to vounteer themselves for a contest that consisted in allowing a lucky civilian to spend a whole day with Ladybug and another one with Chat Noir.

Last weeks were spent by tickets selling,even Marinette had decided to buy one (not to make Alya suspicious) and noticing the huge amount of people buying tickets for the day with Ladybug,she had decided to participate only for the day with Chat Noir. Her poor kitten deserved more attention and it would have been a pretty bad inconvenient if she had won a day...with herself!

The contest's conditions asked to take pictures which would document the day with the superhero. Also at a certain time of the afternoon,a camera would have filmed a short sequence of superhero and winner together,which would have been part of a special that would have aired few days after the event,as a remembrance.

Today was "Day with Chat" extraction day,Ladybug's day would have been next. The Ladybug & Chat Noir Day,as wanted from the mayor,would have been extended more than just a simple day,and it would have involved the whole city in a true real celebrative week.

Considering Chloe's influence on her dad,it wasn't a big deal she had managed to have the extraction happening in the school atrium. The event would have suspended classes for about an hour and every student of the François-Dupont school was invited to attend,while other people could have watched the whole thing on TV.

"I'm so excited! There are cameras everywhere,we're going to be on TV!" Alya squealed,sitting next to Matinette on one of the atrium's steps.

"I did not think Chat Noir's day would interest you this much" Marinette teased.

"I'm a reporter,Am I? A whole day with Chat Noir means a whole day of me asking him everything I want-and he HAS to answer,because you know no one can resists to my awesome persuasive skills." Alya replied,fixing her glasses.

Marinette chuckled lightly. "Okay...you're right. I give up." she said throwing her arms up in the air as sign of surrender.

"Let's not forget that also someone else has entered the contest...and ONLY for the day with the pretty kitty..." muttered Alya nudging Marinette lightly on her arm with her elbow.

"Pssst...Alya,I could never win-A lot of people have bought the tickets,what makes you think I will? The only reason I didn't choose Ladybug is because...She has already...um saved my life many many times! We're basically best friends now!" rambled Marinette.

"Why haven't I never seen you talking with her during an attack then?"

Marinette laughed nervously,scratching the back of her head. "Wha-what do you mean? You know there's nothing suspicious about this...simply you weren't there and-"

"Marinette...calm down! I was just messing with you! Besides,you're right,I wouldn't be surprised if Chloe had sabotaged the contest to win..." the brunette turned to look at the blonde,who was on the little stage,built for the occasion,next to her dad,in front of the big bowl containing tickets with series of numbers.

"I forgive you" joked Marinette. "And about the Chat thing...you know the only boy I have in my heart is Adrien" she sighed,turning her head to stare at him. He was slightly far from where they were,busy talking to Nino. She thought he seemed happier than usual. For a second her thoughts diverted from Adrien and went back to Chat. She thought it would have been cute if the winner was a child. She could already imagine her chaton giving the kid a piggy back ride to make them laugh or him meowing to make them stop crying. A smile made its way on the corner of her lips.

"Welcome students,and hello to whoever is following us at home,thanks for being in so many." began Mr Bourgeois."Every excuse is valid to skip classes after all." he exclaimed,causing several laughing and clapping reactions from the young public. "As every one of you knows we are all here reunited to celebrate the anniversary of the sighting of those who,during this whole year,gave service to our beloved city. For this,and for many other reasons,this day will always be remembered as Ladybug and Chat Noir's day. I'm sure I'm speaking for everybody when I say that I am extremely grateful for what our heroes are doing and this celebration in their honor,is an invite for this to continue,in hoping a new peaceful era will come soon."

A burst of applauses concluded the mayor's speech. Marinette had never seen Chloe's father being so diplomatic,but she couldn't help but smile and clap eagerly,knowing the entire Paris was grateful for what she was doing and would have done for who knows how long. Big responsability for sure. But Tikki trusted her.

"Now,we will proceed for the extraction of the contest. Unfortunately Chat Noir couldn't be here with us but he has promised he would have watched it on tv,in order to know who the lucky winner will be"

Marinette remembered well when he had said that. She also remembered she had to ditch the invitation as well,or people,especially Alya,would have been suspicious.

She snorted a little.

"I'll be sure me and the lucky winner will have a purrrfect day."

Ladybug had rolled his eyes then,so did Marinette at the memory of it.

Too bad she was too clouded in her own thoughts to notice Adrien's not-so-Adrien smirk that formed on his face at the mayor's words.

Chloe proceeded in mixing up the tickets with her hands,until she took one and handed it to her father,without missing to greet the camera,of course.

"And...the lucky winner is...the number..."

Marinette observed every student's head lower down to meticulously check the figures. She let out a small laugh,bowing her head to check as well,almost as joke,since she was 100% convinced she wouldn't have won.

"747856"

Ah..funny,she thought. My ticket number has a 7...and a 4...and another 7..and an 8...oh no...oh no...NO NO NO NO NO

"Anyone of you here has this number?"asked the mayor,holding a microphone in his hand.

A small trembling hand raised among the crowd. "M-me?" stuttered Marinette.

Alya turned her head to look at her,her gaze was more excited than surprised. "I thought you said you were sure you wouldn't have won..."

"Ahah yeah...I...I was lucky...I guess?" she murmured nervously. For once,just for once,her ladybug luck was doing too much.

Marinette just looked at her,eyes widening. She was encouraged to stand up,in between a huge amount of clapping around her. The only person who obviously wasn't clapping,and didn't look excited at all,was Chloe ,who was forced to shake Marinette's hand,in a mix of snorts and rumbles. Too bad she didn't have time to look at Adrien and notice his shocked face.

"Marinette,you're the lucky winner of the day with Chat Noir! Your few words about it?" asked the mayor,while several cameras flashes blocked her sight for a few seconds.

"Well...I...think we're gonna have fun!" exclaimed Marinette,releasing one of her best smiles and waving at the camera,even if she felt uncomfortable at the idea of spending an entire day with her partner as her civialian self,let alone the night. She already met and worked with him once,but this was different. The thing could have gone only in two ways: 1) a total disaster 2) she could have slipped too much about herself and she would have risked to reveal herself.

She could have already felt Tikki's reassuring gaze,who told her everything was gonna be alright,and she calmed down.

Adrien observed carefully every move of a more-nervous-than-usual-Marinette,which surpassed every time the black haired girl stuttered in front of the blonde when he tried to greet her.

He thought he was luckier than Ladybug in that moment. Marinette was his friend,she wasn't Chloe,and when he had met her as Chat,everything went fine between the two (and he was probably excessively flirty). That intrigued him. He wanted to know why Marinette was two different people with Adrien and Chat,(or with anyone else to be quite honest) and he was determined to find out. He would have finally discovered more about the girl who treated him like a normal person and not like a god,the girl who stared at him with her big cerulean eyes on a heavy rainy day.

"Oh Princess..." he whispered to himself,impatient of what was ahead for him.
