Spiderette was coming closer and closer."It was all Sabrina's fault!", Marinette thought. "If she hadn't insulted Juleka, then Rose wouldn't have got involved, and end up being Akumatised! But it isn't the time for blaming, it's the time for saving Rose, and of course, Paris". She sped round a corner as Tikki flew out her pocket.
"We have to do something!" Tikki cried.
"I know! Tikki spots o-" Marinette faltered
"Oh no. Nononono" she thought. Because standing right there, with a kwami hovering next to him, as he gasped at her, was Adrien!
Quickly, Marinette made a mental list;
REASONS THIS IS BAD
ADRIEN HAS SEEN ME. WITH TIKKI
ADRIEN ALSO HAS A KWAMI
SO USING NO 2, ADRIEN MUST BE A SUPERHERO TOO
HIS KWAMI IS A BLACK CAT, HE MUST BE…. CHAT NOIR!
"My… my lady!?" Adrien cautiously spoke "Marinette…. You are LADYBUG?!"
"C-chat? Chat n-noir!? You must be A- No, you must just be looking after his Kwami! R-rright"
Adrien flashed a stunning Chat-like smile at her.
"Fraid not, M-lady." He bowed. "Chat noir at your service."
Marinette's head was a flurry of thoughts, and plenty were bad.
"No….I-I!" She started sobbing into her hands.
"Mari! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to- oh God! You're going to make me cry too!" Adrien choked.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity for Adrien, Marinette said;
"This is gonna make our lives a whole lot harder, kitty-cat. I -" she was cut off by Adrien:
"It'll be worth it."
"Yyeah" she trembled
"After you, princess!"
"Tikki, spots on!" A blinding light filled the room as she transformed. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.
