Pun-astrophe - Chapter one
17:35 P.M.
Paris, France
"I guess you could say he wasn't purr-pared for that claw-some attack we just delivered." Chat noir said slyly.
"Less puns, more action!" Ladybug gritted out as the akuma tossed a sharp, 3D music noite.
This akuma looked like a very upset musician. Ladybug didn't want to get too close to that unstable violinist. Another glowing note shot towards them. With a quick glance at each other, they dodged. The look seemed to tell each other what plan was set in action for the akuma. Chat would distract him and she would use her lucky-charm.
"Lucky-Charm!" Ladybug shouted summoning the tool that would aid them. Polka-dotted scissors dropped from above and she caught them with ease.
As Chat successfully captured the akumatized victim's attention, Ladybug formed a layout for how she was going to use her charm. She scaled a wall and jumped towards the distracted akuma. With Chat's help she got to the strings with ease, the akuma-strengthened violin was no match.
The strings snapped and Chat chose that moment to use his cat-aclysm on the violen, releasing the akuma within. It fluttered skyward, as Ladybug caught it in her yo-yo.
"Bye-bye, little butterfly," Ladybug smiled and waved at the, now purified, butterfly.
"What a claw-ful akuma, but a purr-fect strategy, my lady," Chat Noir grinned smugly, " A claw-less purr-formance if I say so myself." he continued.
Ladybug groaned at the awful pun making hoping for it to end. She knew that when he was on a roll there was no stopping him. Unfortunately, for her she was right. Chat continued the pun making unrelentlessly. Finally, his lady seemed to have had enough of his witty wordplay.
Ladybug sighed, "make sure to show up at 20:00. We need to patrol."
With the final word, she turned and left. Leaving a Chat alone with a smug look on its face.
Later at 20:04 p.m
Paris, France
Marinette quickly transformed into Ladybug. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop, she quickly found Chat in their meeting spot.
"Meow-jour, my lady," the pun-loving cat greeted.
"You're still doing that?" Ladybug said irritated.
"Yup," Chat Noir said, "Mew don't like it?"
She led out a frustrated sound as her partner just laughed. She closed her eyes trying not to think about hurting her teammate. But the puns just wouldn't stop.
As they scoped the city for any signs of suspicion, her kitty cat still continued his banter. Ladybug felt annoyed and tired. To top it off she still had English homework to complete. She groaned at the thought.
With nothing out of the ordinary, they decided to call it a night. Chat bid her 'good-night'(making another pun while he was at it.), and she replied with a cranky 'good-night, go away.' With that the heroes returned to their respective homes.

Ladybug lept through her trapdoor and transformed back into Marinette. Marinette sighed and fell onto her bed with a look of exhaustion.
Tikki, her little friend and kwami, quickly flew towards her. Landing right in front of her as one side of Marinette's face pressed into her pillow.
"Marinette what's the matter?"
"Puns are haunting my very being," she said gloomily.
Tikki giggled, "I thought they were very clever and good."
"They were annoying," Tikki gave her a look sympathy.
Then Tikki floated away somewhere else. Marinette lifted her head and looked around the room. Finally, she found her kwami on her desk trying to lift a paper off her desk.
"What are you doing, Tikki?" The black-haired girl questioned.
"Did you forget about school?"
With a gasp the girl flew off the bed and plucked the paper from Tikki's small hands. She sat down and quickly got to work opening her textbook.
Her kwami sighed fondly, "what would you do without me sometimes?"
Then flew off in search for a cookie to recharge. Leaving the girl alone to work on her homework.
