Prologue
I do not own the show, Miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir. (Spoiler Warning: Awful accident at the end of chapter )
"Mum can we go and get some ice-cream please?" asked a small blonde boy as he pulled his mother's arm towards the famous ice-cream store.
"Sure darling," his mother said as she went across the road with him.
"What would you like to order madame?" asked the kind ice cream storeowner.
"Mummy I want a chocolate chip ice-cream please," said the boy.
"Okay Adrien, now one chocolate chip ice-cream for him and one vanilla for me," said the boy's Mum as she paid the money for the ice cream.
"Two ice-creams are served, bon appetite," said the man as he went over and started serving other people in the shop.
After a while, the door rang again and a young girl with piggy tails came in.
"Mama, look at those ice-creams, they look so yummy," said the girl to her mother.
"Look princess I don't think there is room in this store right now," said the girl's mother.
"Umm excuse me madame, do you and your daughter want to share this table with us?" asked Adrien's Mum kindly.
"If that is not a problem to you," said the girl's mother.
"No problem at all," said Adrien's Mum.
"Thank you so much now be nice Marinette while I order the ice-cream," said the girl's mother. "Okay Mama," said Marinette.
"Umm hi, my name is Adrien Agreste, it is a pleasure to meet you," said Adrien putting out his hands.
"My name is Marinette, and thank you for sharing this table with us," said Marinette. Adrien's Mum smiled at the two kids as they talked about superheroes and life.
"So Marinette, how old are you?" asked Adrien's Mum.
"Oh I am nine," said Marinette cheerfully.
"Oh me too," said Adrien.
"Cool, which school are you in?" asked Marinette curiously.
"Umm I am homeschooled since Father doesn't like me doing silly stuff with other kids," said Adrien sadly.
"Oh, anyway, look if you ever need a friend you could always call me or visit me at the bakery," said Marinette handing Adrien a piece of paper with her contacts on. Adrien smiled as he took the piece of paper and tucked it into his jean pocket
"Thanks Mari," said Adrien.
"Mari?" asked Marinette blushing.
"Sorry, I was just thinking of a nickname for you," said Adrien.
"No Mari is fine," said Marinette smiling sweetly.
"Adrien if you could be a superhero, what animal themed superhero would you be?" asked Marinette.
"Umm let see, a cat theme superhero, I guess Chat Noir is good," said Adrien.
"Okay kitty, well if I was a superhero I would choose a ladybug themed superhero, then I will call myself Ladybug," stated Marinette proudly.
"Marinette, here is your chocolate chip ice cream," said Marinette's mum handing Marinette her ice cream.
"Yay, my favourite ice-cream," said Marinette licking her ice cream.
"Really? I like chocolate chip ice-cream too," said Adrien showing Marinette his half eaten ice cream.
"Cool, we must have a lot of things in common," said Marinette giggling.
"Do you like Mecha Strike III?" asked Adrien.
"Of course it is my favourite game," said Marinette.
"Awesome!" said Adrien.
"Look Adrien, do you want to come to the bakery?" asked Marinette.
"Yeah, Mum can we go?" asked Adrien.
"Sure darling, just finish off your ice cream off first," said Adrien's Mum.
"Mama, can Adrien come to our house?" asked Marinette.
"Sure, you two can play in your room upstairs while Adrien's Mum and I talk about adult things," said Marinette's Mum.
"Yay!" said Marinette. After finishing off their ice cream, they all went to the bakery where they were greeted by the delicious aroma of freshly baked goods.
"Hi Papa," said Marinette hugging a tall man wearing an apron.
"Hi princess, hi Sabine" said Marinette's Dad hugging Marinette as he stared at the newcomers.
"Mrs Agreste this is my husband Tom, Tom meet Mrs Agreste and her son Adrien Agreste," said Sabine.
"Bonjour, welcome to Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie where we make delicious pastries," said Tom proudly.
"Oooh, those pastries look delicious," said Mrs Agreste smiling. "Then will you care to have some of my top recipes macaroons?" asked Tom as he started plating up some beautifully made macaroons.
"Marinette why don't you go upstairs with Adrien and play video games," said Sabine smiling.
"Okay mama," said Marinette skipping up the stairs.
"Wow I love your house," said Adrien.
"Same, we have Mecha Strike III," said Marinette waving video game disc.
After a few moments
"Boom, one Marinette style combo coming right up," commentated Marinette as she rapidly pressed the buttons to provide a cool attack.
"Marinette wins," said the game.
"Yay," said Marinette slumping on the seat of her chair. Adrien smiled kindly at Marinette as his mum came upstairs.
"Darling we have to go, your father is waiting," said Mrs Agreste.
"Yes Mother, bye Mari," said Adrien hugging Marinette.
"Keep in touch, bye kitty," said Marinette winking as she escorted them downstairs.
That had been one of the best days Adrien had with his mother before a tragic accident in Tibet, four years later. That day, Mrs Agreste was on a family holiday trip with her husband, Gabriel and Adrien when a fire broke out in the hotel. Mrs Agreste had just gotten out with her husband when she heard a loud scream. It was Adrien, he was still in the building and the flame was coming closer so Mrs Agreste ran inside the building without any hesitation. She slowly crawled underneath the smoke and when she reached Adrien, she took him across the room to the nearest window where she broke the glass with a nearby vase.
"Catch him please! Take care of him," she yelled to her husband who was yelling for the firefighters.
"Adrien, you need to jump out of this window, remember I will always love you," said Mrs Agreste as Adrien started to leap out of the window. His mother's last words echoed deeply into his brain as his father caught him. Adrien's eyes filled up with tears as his father caught him. At that moment the building collapsed and fell into deep ashes.
"Emily!" sobbed Adrien's father as firefighters went inside to search for anyone alive. From that day onwards, Gabriel Agreste became cold to everyone even his son, since his world has fallen in half due to an awful tragic accident.
