A/N: Hi guys, just thought I'd take a second to let you know that this is my first Miraculous fanfic. I know the show has already aired close to half of the first season in other places, but here in America the show has only aired two episodes. Regardless, it didn't take long for me to fall in love with the fandom and want to write for it. I have only seen the episodes 'The Bubbler' and 'Mr. Pigeon' so far, but don't want to watch anything in advance because my friend and I are watching it together.

That being said, I apologize in advance for inaccuracies in the story and for if my villain seems like any other villain in the show I haven't seen yet. Thanks for reading!

"Adrien!" Nino smiled, waving over to his friend from down the hall. Adrien forced a smile and waved as he slowly made his way to Nino's locker.

"Hey Nino." He managed. Nino immediately realized something was wrong and stopped what he was doing.

"You okay?" He asked, resting a hand on Adrien's shoulder. Adrien frowned and looked at the ground, shaking his head, he couldn't lie to Nino. "What happened?" Nino prompted, turning away from his locker to give Adrien his full attention.

"It was my father." Adrien sighed, his hand coming up to hold the end of his blue knitted scarf in a tight fist. Before this morning he'd thought it was a birthday gift from his father. "This morning he saw me wearing my scarf and he asked where I got it."

"Oh no." Nino frowned, he knew Adrien had been excited his father had actually tried this year. "I'm so sorry to hear that..." He shook his head in disgust. It was no secret that Nino didn't like Mr. Agreste because he was always so strict with Adrien, but this was crossing the line.

"He actually said it was kind of ugly." Adrien tried to laugh, but he looked absolutely crushed. "I can't believe I was stupid enough to think he'd actually get me something so nice." He looked down at the end of the scarf again and smiled softly. "I think it's perfect… Someone actually took time out of their life to make something for me." Adrien looked up at Nino then. "I know it's not a big deal to most people, but to me it's more than just the gift. Someone actually put love and thought into something and then gave it to me on my birthday."

"Well, if it's not from your father, who could have given it to you?" Nino wondered. Adrien's green eyes turned sad again, a pool of anger laying underneath that.

"That's the best part!" Adrien threw his arms up in frustration. "This whole time I thought the scarf was a gift from my father, so I don't even know who it's from!" Adrien shook his head. It was bad enough that his father insisted on having a limo bring him to and from school every day, now because of him someone probably thought he was a spoiled, rich brat for not saying thank you for the gift.

"Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I couldn't help but overhear your conversation…" Alya closed her locker door and smiled to Adrien and Nino. "I know who that scarf is really from."

"You do?" Adrien asked, his whole attitude changing from angry and upset back to his usually happy self. Nino smiled at Alya, thankful that she'd helped brighten Adrien's mood.

"So who's it from?" Nino asked. Alya opened her mouth to speak, but then stopped and chewed on her lip, she'd promised Marinette that she wouldn't say anything to Adrien about it.

"Umm… I think that she'd want to tell you herself." She covered quickly. "Do you think you can wait a few minutes before you go home for lunch this afternoon? I can have her meet you in front of the school."

"Perfect!" Adrien smiled. "Thank you so much Alya!"

"No problem." Alya smiled back before noticing Marinette at the end of the hallway. "If you'll excuse me, I gotta go find her." She told the boys, starting down the hall before they had a chance to answer. "Marinette!" She squealed as she ran down the hall. She took her friend by the shoulders, bouncing in front of her. "Girl! I have the best news ever!"

"Okay, okay!" Marinette joined in with her friend's bouncing. "What happened?!"

"Adrien found out that his father isn't the one who gave him the scarf!" Alya blurted out, clapping her hands together. "I told him I knew who it was from and that she would… er, you would… meet him outside school before he went home for lunch!"

"Wait… what?!" Marinette's smile turned into a look of horrified fear and she stopped jumping. "Alya!" Marinette pulled on her hair, and started pacing back and forth. "Why would you do that!?"

"Marinette." Alya took the girl by the shoulders again and forced her to look at her face. "You got this! Adrien looked so sad that he didn't know who it was really from… You're going to make him so happy!"

"Well… I guess." Marinette smiled when she thought of how excited Adrien would be to find out she'd made him that scarf. "I have to figure out what to say to him though."

"Just tell him the truth. You have all morning to figure it out." Alya laughed, putting her arm around Marinette's shoulder as she walked with her to their first class.

…

Before long, the lunch bell rang and the students were being dismissed for their lunch hour. That is, all of the students except for those who'd earned detention and would have to eat their meal at school.

"It's not fair." One girl, Sunnie Johnson, pouted as she watched the students leaving the school out the window. "It's the nicest day of the year and here I am stuck in school for lunch!" She glowered at the students out the window and toyed with the sun charm on her necklace. "I really did just lose my homework!"

"Excellent!" Hawk Moth laughed from his tower somewhere else in the city. "Sunnie's feelings of anger at the unfairness of being trapped inside on the nicest day of the year will work nicely in helping me get my hands on Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses!" He explained to his akumas as he evilized one and sent it out to help him with his plan. It was only a matter of a minute or so before the akuma found a home in Sunnie's necklace and the outline of a bright pink butterfly spread across the faces of Sunnie Johnson and Hawk Moth. "My dear Sunnie. I understand your frustrations of being trapped inside on this nicest day of the year. Your name has the word 'sun' right in it… this is quite an injustice. I want to help. All I ask in return is that you retrieve the Miraculouses of Ladybug and Cat Noir and deliver them to me."

"Yes, Hawk Moth." Sunnie smiled, an evil glint becoming apparent in her eyes as she held onto the charm that was now a cloud and lightning bolt. Hawk Moth chuckled slightly, allowing his akuma to complete the transformation and turn Sunnie into an evil villain.

"Excellent! From now on you will be Solar Flare, master of the weather! Go forth and bring me what I asked for!"

…

Adrien had gotten outside before Marinette and was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, he was eager to find out who had given him his scarf. Marinette took a deep breath as she saw him, when he spotted her he waved to her. No going back now.

"Hi Adrien…" Marinette waved to him shyly, her cheeks turning bright red. She didn't know what it was about him, but whenever she was around him she couldn't think straight. To Marinette, Adrien was perfect in every way.

"Hey Marinette." Adrien smiled. The way he said her name was like magic to Marinette.

"Hi Adrien." She repeated nervously. Adrien thought it was endearing how jumbled up she got around him.

"Hi Marinette." He chuckled, teasing her a little bit by repeating his greeting like she had. When Marinette's face turned even deeper red he waved his hand as if erasing what had happened and giving her a clean slate. "Did Alya tell you to come talk to me about something by any chance?"

"Umm… well… as a matter of fact…"

"Wait what?" Adrien wasn't paying attention to Marinette anymore, he was looking past her, above the school where a giant funnel cloud had appeared. When he noticed a blonde girl dressed in an orange suit in the center of it he realized it was a job for Cat Noir.

"What are you looking at?" Marinette asked, turning around to look. She cringed internally when she realized she would have to cut Adrien off so she could transform into Ladybug and save the day.

"Umm… Marinette… I just realized I forgot I have something to do at home…" He prayed that she would let him go without question.

"I umm… yeah… me too! Talk later?" She asked, starting to back up. Adrien nodded, relieved that he wouldn't have to keep Ladybug waiting while he tried to come up with an excuse for Marinette.

"Talk later! I promise!" He yelled to her as he started to run off in the opposite direction.
