From the past
Marinette think of him again they have not seen each other for almost two years, every day she looked forward going to school to see him, Adrien the blond boy with those big green eyes. He was always so kind to her and she could not help it but she started taking a liking for him, though it's clear Chloe made him look like an idiot the first time they met but they solved it quickly and now the only thing she has left from him is a little green box with a blonde lock of hair. She wonders what became of him, but one thing she knows surely she must see him again, it should not be so hard, he'll certainly stay with his father and then it's just ten minutes to go so Marinette decides to get there. She goes down to the bakery and takes some croissants and she leaves immediately to the big house where she hopes he is.
Once at the gates she knocks like she had done two years ago, and Natalie's familiar voice ask who it is and Marinette responds that its she and that she would like to meet Adrien. Natalie says that it is okay and that he will soon be out. So Marinette is waiting at the gates and five minutes later he stands in front of her the guy of her dreams, the guy she had missed so much during those years, now he stands in front of her and she has no idea what to do or say.
"Hey, Adrien it was long ago," was all the poor girl could get out.
"Yes it was. Shall we go to the park? "He thought it was strange that she had not come earlier and wanted to talk about what happened during those two years. He had missed her very much and it felt unreal that she stood before him.
"Yes, I brought croissants is it still your favorite from the bakery?" Marinett had no idea what she would do. She had fantasized about this so long but never imagined it would happen.
"Oh yes, I love them I asked gorilla to retrieve some the other day actually."
"Hihi do you still call your bodyguard gorilla?" She thought it was funny that the nickname was preserved even though it was so old and out nagged by now.
"Yes, of course, some things never change I guess."
"No, they don't."
They walked in silence the rest of the way to the park and once there they sat down on a bench ate the croissants and talked for a bit, they talked about everything really. But after a while Adrien felt that he only had to ask her.
"Mari? Remember Ladybug and Cat Noir?
"He wanted to tell her but was afraid of what she would think so he began small talk about the heroes instead.
"Well, who does not remember them, I mean Paris own superheroes plus Alya still writing about them on that blog."
"Yes, it is that I would like to show you something that has to do with them. Come on. "
Adrien pulled her into an alley where no one could see them and say Plagg, claws out and right in front of her, she sees how the innocent boy she had known turned into one of Paris most beloved heroes or as she got to know the hero a flirty cat that has extremely poor humor. What would she do? Should she run from there or wait for the transformation to complete? But of course she would not get far, and he could easily catch up with her and then even she has a little secret regarding this so she decides to stay.
"It is you who are Cat Noir! She felt like she had to say something so she did everything to act surprised.
"Yes, you're not disappointed I'm not directly as fantastic as Ladybug."
"Why should it matter if you are a cat or a ladybug? But I have something that show you now that you say it. Tikki, spots on! She feels the heat in her body when she gets to transform into ladybug, it was long ago. when the threat from Hawkmoth disappeared a while ago she never transformed that much anymore but it was nice to get to do this again she missed run and jump from rooftop to rooftop, and now she would do it after that she had seen Adrien's reaction on who hid under the mask that belonged to Paris's main superhero when they were in school.
"Marinette why did you not say that you are Ladybug before?"
"Because it was supposed to be a secret even for us, do you not remember it?"
"Well of course I remember, but come we go to the Eiffel Tower."
So the duo set off across the ceilings and all people at the ground wondering what had happened they have not seen their heroes in two years and now they are suddenly back and it resulted in the whole city of Paris standing at the Eiffel Tower when they were there. They were interviewed by all of the reporters in the town and it felt wonderful to be back after such a long time. After a while they had to go so they jump over rooftops and back home again. Back at home the transformation took off and they were themselves again, but they were also lonely.
When Adrien was home he decided that he would take up all the action figures that represented him and Ladybug so he did it and put them on the shelf where it once stood, but when he was finished he felt like that there was something missing so he went to his desk to take out the red box with the blue hair in it which he had to in a way remember Marinette and always have a part of her close. He went back to the shelf and put the box next to the dolls but he did not know that Marinette has an equal box that is green and with a lock of his hair in her desk drawer out exactly the same reason as him.
