Masked: A Miraculous Tale.
A normal day in Paris, France, but a truly Miraculous day for Marinette Dupan-Chang. Mari was walking through the hallway of her school looking for her friend Alya. A janitor was cleaning the floor in front of her. A foot with designer boots stuck out in front of Mari, causing her to trip and fall right into the cleaning bucket, filled with dirty water and soapy suds. An uproar of laughter caused Mari cheeks to turn a shade of hot pink.
Voice: Well isn't it Marinette Dupan-Chang! Our new janitor!
Mari looked up to see the person who had caused her fall
Marinette: Chloe! What was that for?
Chloe: Fun. *smiles cruely*
Marinette ran as fast as she could to the nearest restroom. She slammed the door behind her and locked herself in a stall. Tears began to flow down her cheeks. She sat there in the stall alone…. Well she wasn't really alone. She had her forever-supportive Kwami!
Tikki: Marinette! Are you ok?
Marinette: No! Chloe made me look like an absolute fool! I can't believe she would do such a thing!
Tikki: So your clothes got a little wet, she has done worse. Look on the bright side! Everybody else thinks shes a jerk too.
Marinette: I guess you're right. Thanks Tik-
Tikki: SHHH someone's coming!
The door to the bathroom opened just as Marinette pulled up her feet so nobody would know she was in there. A pair of stylish converse walked across the floor
Mari's thoughts: Please dont pick this stall, please dont, please dont!
The shoes stopped, maybe she was thinking too loud.
Voice: Hello? Is anyone here?
The voice didn't sound like a girl's voice… it actually sounded familiar.
The person walked into the stall next door to Mari.
Voice: Ok Plagg, we're alone.
High pitched voice: Finally! I'm starving! Where's the Camenbert?!
Voice: Here, how did I end up with the hungry kwami?
Mari's thoughts: WAAAAAAAAAAT?! KWAMI!?
She realised whose voice it was. Cat Noir was in the bathroom stall next to her! But he wasn't her kitty at the moment, he was in his civilian form.
Plagg: I don't know, luck?
Voice: No, Ladybug's the one with all the luck...
Plagg: Meh, whatever.
Voice: She is the most amazing person I know….. I have to tell her who I am! I've tried but everytime we're too busy with an akuma, if only I could find her when she's not fighting an akuma….
Mari: you won't have to go far
Voice: WHO SAID THAT?!
Mari's thoughts: OH SWEET FLYING AKUMAS I SAID THAT OUT LOUD!
Mari: Ummmm Cat Noir! We have ended up in a strange situation. Stay where you are!
Voice: M'lady?! What are you doing here?!
Mari: I was um, doing patrol and my Kwami got tried out.
Voice: Oh, do you need some cheese?
Mari: Cheese?
Voice: It's the only thing my kwami eats
Plagg: Sweet sweet camenbert….
Mari: No, I have some cookies
Tikki: MMMMMmmMMM I LOVE MAH SWEET COOKIES!
Voice: M'lady? You aren't in your superhero form?
Mari: um no?
Voice: Neither am I! So ummm we aren't fighting akumas or anything. Ladybug! I want you to know who I am! *unlocks stall door*
Mari: WHAT! No! You can't do that!
The person, or should I say Adrien Agreste, opened his stall door and walked out in front of Mari's door.
Adrien: Open the door. Learn who I am!
Mari: No! Chat we can't! It's dangerous!
Adrien: I can't stand it anymore! Do it!
Mari: Chat!
Adrien: *choking up* I don't want to hide from you anymore.
Marinette could tell that there were tears streaming down his face. She didn't know what to do.
Adrien: Ill close my eyes
Mari was on the verge of unlocking the door. The little metal bar slid out of place. The door was unlocked... Chat could just push it open at this point
Adrien: M'lady? My eyes are closed…. Please….end my suffering
Without thinking Marinette kicked open the door gently but closed her eyes as soon as she could. Both just stood there for a while. Unmasked…. Just a little peek from one of them, and the secrets would end.
Mari: Tikki spots on
Adrien: *melancholly sigh* Plagg claws out.
They both opened their eyes after they had turned back into their super selves.
Chat: M'lady… when will this end?!
Ladybug: Not now… not when hawkmoth is still in power. It's too dangerous.
Chat: Why?! We might work as a better team if we know each others identities!
Ladybug: Chaton! Honestly! I've told you too many times now! NO!
The Black Cat's reaction surprised Ladybug. He walked straight out of the bathroom and stick-a-pulted away.
Ladybug: Tikki spots off
Tikki: This might complicate things.
Mari: I'm afraid it will
