Queen of Hearts
At Francoise Dupont High School at dismissal
It's Valentine's Day, and Marinette is talking to Alya about her present for Adrien "Alya are you sure Adrien will like the cookies?" "Of course he will Marinette." Alya said reassuring her. Then Alya pointed to Adrien who was talking to Nino while waiting for his service, Marinette asked Alya to wish her luck. When Nino left Marinette walked up to Adrien, as she was walking to him Marinette grabbed her present for Adrien, when a car parked right behind him, it was Adrien's service and then Nathalie came out of the car "Adrien we need get going you have a very busy schedule today." she opened the door for Adrien then when they got in the car drove away. Marinette wasn't sure what to do, but she wasn't just gonna give up so she decided to go to Adrien's house and leave it in his mailbox.
Meanwhile
There was another girl named Emma Lee who is in love with her classmate Jean Duparc, she was hoping to give him a special poem she made but when she was about to walk to him she saw him talking with another girl and after seeing them she lost all her confidence and couldn't bring to give him her poem. She went to the girl's bathroom and as she cried Hawkmoth sent his akuma to akumatize the heart broken girl and as the akuma flew into her headband she heard Hawkmoth talking to her, "Hello there Queen of Hearts I am Hawkmoth there's no need cry anymore I am here to help you get what you desire and more, and in return you'll get me Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculouses, so do we have a deal?" "It's a deal Hawkmoth."
Back with Marinette
Marinette has made it to Adrien's house when she rang the doorbell she waited for someone to answer but no one did, she assumed everyone was out, with no one home she decided to look for Adrien but she knew she couldn't find him in time on foot so she transformed into Ladybug to help speed up her search. On the way to find Adrien she heard some commotion at the park so she stopped her search and went to her balcony and left the box of cookies so she can take a look and continue her search later, when she got to the park she found the new akuma The Queen of Hearts as she was blasting people with ray from her crown that can make any boy fall in love with her, any girl idolize her and give her total control over them "Oh, Ladybug how nice of you to drop in, now what do you say we make this easy and just hand me your miraculous." "Sorry not gonna happen!" "Well I guess we'll have to do this the hard way.", then the Queen of Hearts blasted a ray from her crown. Ladybug quickly dodged the beam and fought against The Queen of Hearts head on.
With Adrien
He was riding in the back of his car to his next photo shoot, on the way he looked through his bag and took out a box with a necklace he made for Ladybug which he plans to give to her for Valentine's Day. They were passing by the park, then all of a sudden Nathalie told Adrien's bodyguard to stop the car after seeing Ladybug fighting The Queen of Hearts on the street, she immediately got Adrien out of the car and ran to safety while Adrien was finding a place to transform and once he did he put the box with the necklace in his pocket and rushed to help Ladybug fight the new akuma.
Back to the fight
Ladybug was still fighting The Queen of Hearts and her minions, when suddenly Cat Noir dropped in to get in on the fight. "Cat Noir I need your help, I can't handle The Queen of Hearts and her minions all at once." "Don't worry I can handle her minions while you take on The Queen of Hearts." During the fight Ladybug realized that the akuma had to be in her crown, but she knew she couldn't get it on her own and Cat Noir was still fighting off her minions so she came up with a plan "Cat Noir we need get The Queen of Hearts away from her minions, follow me." "Hey! Queen, catch us if you can!" she immediately went after them with her minions following right behind her. She followed them to a random street in the city, for a moment she feared that she had lost them till Ladybug called out "Hey Queen, over here!" The Queen of Hearts rushed ahead of her minions leaving them behind and allowing Cat Noir to carry out his part of Ladybug's plan. He led her minions to a street corner, then using his cataclysm he created a pit around them big and deep enough that her minions can't get over or around it. Then he went after Ladybug to help her.
With Ladybug and the Queen of Hearts
The Queen of Hearts finally caught up to Ladybug. But noticed that Cat Noir wasn't with her "Where's your partner?" "He's just busy taking care of your entourage." and that's when she realized that her minions were no longer following her. "Clever plan Ladybug except now you have to fight me all on your own." Then at that moment Cat Noir arrived at the fight "You might wanna think again." She turned around and saw Cat Noir. "It doesn't matter I can still take you both on myself." So she tried to blast Cat Noir, but using his staff he leaped over her and the blast and landed right next to Ladybug. But then he heard his ring beep and saw that he did not have much time before his transformation runs out. So Ladybug used her lucky charm which turned out to be a powder bottle, "What am I gonna do with this?" "While you figure that out I'm going to keep her distracted." So she thought about how she was going to use her lucky charm to defeat The Queen of Hearts, then she got an idea so she put some powder in her hand and then called out to Cat Noir "Cat! Get her to face this way" and as she turned around Ladybug blew the powder into her face and as the powder blinded her Ladybug took the opportunity to take the crown from her head and break it. Then she caught and purified the akuma and of course fixed all the damage and freed the minions of The Queen of Hearts from her control and The Queen of Hearts was transformed back into Emma Lee. They fist bumped to commemorate a job well done but then Ladybug's earrings began to beep, so she immediately grabbed her yoyo and left but then Cat Noir called out hoping she'd hear him "Ladybug! Wait…. " but he was too late and she was already gone he thought of going after her but then heard his ring beeping and saw that he only had one minute left before he transforms back. He rushed back to his house and arrived in his bedroom just before he de-transformed.
With Marinette
She landed on her balcony and de-transformed she saw the box of cookies she left Tikki told her that she could still find Adrien and give her present "I don't know Tikki, I mean look look it's getting dark and Valentine's Day is practically over, maybe I should just forget about giving Adrien his present, there's always next year right?" she sighed and went inside to get Tikki something to eat.
At Night with Adrien
As Plagg was eating his camembert Adrien looked at his present for Ladybug, disappointed that he wasn't able to give it her. He thought getting some fresh air might make him feel better, so he transformed into Cat Noir and started leaping from rooftop to rooftop until he stopped and saw Marinette on her balcony upset, so he leaped over to see if she was okay. He landed behind her and scared Marinette "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you." "It's alright. So what are you doing here?" "I just came by to see if you were okay you seemed upset, did something happen?" "No, I'm just disappointed. I was planning on giving my crush a present but I was too late." "I know how that feels, I was gonna give Ladybug a present too but she left before I had the chance." She looked at his sad face and felt guilty for leaving before he could give her his present. She thought of making it up to him by giving him the box of cookies that she was gonna give Adrien, so she handed him the box of cookies "Here, I might not be able to give them to my crush, but they might as well make someone happy." He smiled then took the box and thanked her "No problem." He felt touched by Marinette and decided to return the favour, so he took out Ladybug's present. "Marinette, I want you to have this." And then he put the necklace on Marinette. "Do you like it? I made it myself." "Cat it's beautiful, I love it Thank you." "Sure thing." But then they heard the voice of Marinette's Mom calling for her for dinner. "That must be my mom I better get going." "Yeah me too." But as she was going down Cat called her attention "Marinette, Thank you." "Thank you? Thank you for what?" "For cheering me up" he smiled "Anytime" then she smiled back at him. After that she went downstairs and he went home.
The Next Day at School
Marinette saw Alya, Nino and Adrien talking at the school entrance and they greeted each other a good morning and then Alya noticed that Marinette was wearing a new necklace "Nice necklace Marinette where did you get it? A secret admirer?" Alya teased "It's a gift from a friend." Adrien was flattered that Marinette considered Cat Noir a friend "Oh, so can we know this friend's name?" Nino asked. "Nope sorry." "Keeping it a secret huh alright we'll respect that." And that's when the bell rang, they were going inside when Marinette saw Emma she told the others to go in ahead and that she had to take care of something first, once they went in she walked over to Emma to greet her "Good morning, your name is Emma right?" "Yeah." "I'm Marinette." "Nice to meet you Marinette." Marinette saw the card she had in her hand and asked her who it was for "I see you've got a card there you planning on giving it to someone." "Actually I was planning on giving it to my crush yesterday but now it's too late." "You know I was gonna give my crush a present too." "Really?...Were you able to give your present him?" "No, I actually ended up giving it to someone else, but that moment helped me learn something, that even it seems like it's too late that doesn't make the gift any less special and sometimes it's worth it, just to see their smile" Emma thought about what Marinette said and decided to take her advice and give her card to her Jean "Alright! I'll do it, Thanks Marinette!" she gave Marinette a hug to thank her and rushed to find Jean Duparc, once she found him she gave him her card "I know it's late but I really wanted you to have it" he smiled and thanked her "Thanks!...You know I was actually hoping to ask if you wanted to go to the movies with me." "Really?" "Yeah, so what do you say?" "Yes, I'd love to go to the movies with you." "Great, so does this Friday at 7pm work for you?" "Friday at 7pm works just fine."
That's the end for this chapter.
