Chapter 1: Marinette and Adrien

This is Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste. They both live in Paris, France.

Marinette is a sweet young girl who wants to be a fashion designer when she is older as she has already done designing in the past even though she is clumsy. Adrien, on the other hand is a kind-hearted boy who is a famous model thanks to his father's fashion brand. However, he wants to follow his own path instead.

Little do they both is that they are both actually superheroes as well as being partners in crime. Marinette becomes the acrobatic Ladybug with the power of good luck while Adrien becomes the confident Cat Noir with the power of destruction. Together, the two save Paris from the evil Hawk Moth who wants to steal their Miraculous, Ladybug's earrings and Cat Noir's ring to gain ultimate power.

It was a raining day in Paris today. The big water drops plopped against Marinette's window as she sighed with a moan across her face.

"It's just no use today, Tikki" said Marinette, slumping on her chair. "This is just the gloomiest day today in Paris and there's nothing to do!"

"You could do more fashion-designing" suggested Marinette's Kwami Tikki. "On days like this, it's always good to be creative and imaginative even on the inside!"

"Hmm, you may be right. Maybe I should look around to be inspired by". Marinette had a look around her room for inspiration. By as far as she could see, there was nothing there.

Suddenly, she looked up at her clock. The time was 13:00. The news! Marinette thought. As fast as a cheetah, she swiftly grabbed the tv remote from her rose covered bed and switched the TV on.

"An important announcement just in!" explained the news reporter. "France's famous rapper Penelope G is doing a live tour from across the globe and her first stop is in the city of love, Paris!"

Marinette fell out of her chair and squealed with delight. "You really mean it? THE PENELOPE G?! OMG!"

"That's funny" said Tikki, flying and sitting down on Marinette's desk. "I thought you don't like rappers"

"Only ones that don't sound so ridiculous" explained Marinette. "Penelope G's music and rapping are unlike any other rappers around". Suddenly, Marinette's eyes turned to Tikki, then to the screen, then back to Tikki's again. "Wait a sec, that's it!"

Grabbing her notebook from under her desk, Marinette began sketching.

"What are you doing, Marinette?" asked Tikki.

"I was thinking Penelope G will have to wear something cool to Paris, and that's what I'm going to do!"

"Well, good luck then! Don't forget I will be supporting you all the way"

"Thanks, Tikki!". And with that, Marinette got to work.

Meanwhile, at the Agreste Mansion, Adrien was busy reading a book from one of his dad's library.

"The newspaper is here, Master Adrien" announced his helper, Nathalie.

Adrien turned his head to Nathalie, then turned it back at the book.

Nathalie sighed. "Well. I'll leave it on your desk if you want to have a look at it". And with that, she put the paper on the desk and close the door behind her.

Adrien got from his bed and put the book down. He sat on the chair of his desk and had a look at the paper.

"Oooh!" Adrien's Kwami Plagg flew out of his shirt. "What have you got there?"

"It's the annual newspaper" explained Adrien. "It comes out almost every day and- "

Plagg suddenly pointed to a beautiful young girl on the cover of the newspaper. She had long reddish hair that went to her waist and piecing green eyes just like him. She also had porcelain skin that was white as snow. "Who's that?" asked the black cat Kwami.

Adrien looked at the girl on the front. "Oh, that's Penelope G. She's a famous rapper"

"She's pretty"

"Not as pretty as Ladybug". Adrien looked at the window of his room. "Penelope G might pretty but Ladybug's got an even prettier and nicer personality".

"You always say that about Ladybug" Plagg moaned, floating down on Adrien's desk. "Now I feel like having some Camembert"

"Did you already have some this morning?" complained Adrien.

Plagg shook his head no.

Adrien sighed. "Well, someday I will find out who Ladybug is and I will!"
