I'm excited to work on a new multichapter fic for Miraculous Ladybug! This prologue is of course quite short, but the next chapter should be done in the next few hours and be much longer. I hope you enjoy!


The beeps from their Miraculous sounded simultaneously.

"Sounds like we're out of time for the night, My Lady," said Chat, sweeping into a bow.

"So it seems," Ladybug said with a smirk. "I'll be heading out, then."

Chat winked one last time and they turned their backs. Both leapt from the roof in opposite directions, heading for home.

Ladybug swung closer and closer to the bakery, eyeing an alleyway not that far from the entrance. At this time of night, there weren't many people around, so she dropped into it. With a final beep, she felt the transformation wear off.

Across town, Chat landed neatly on his feet a few blocks from home. He wondered if there were a store open this late; he wanted a small snack before turning in for the night. His ring gave a last chirp, and he transformed back into his civilian self.

Marinette brushed a few stray strands out her face and was just about to walk home when a very familiar voice froze her in place.

And Adrien was fiddling with his wallet when someone called out to him and made him stop dead in his tracks.

"M-Marinette?"

"Adrien?!"
