Hi, I'm Ali, the author of this fanfic. Be aware, this is my first one, so it may not be very good. I'm also looking for prompts and ideas, so that after this I have more to write. The idea will be credited to the commenter, of course. Anyhow, I hope you like it!

I do not own any characters expect my OCs (who will be in the next chapter). All Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug And Chat Noir characters belong to Thomas Astruc/Jeremy Zag, and the team that makes the series.

It was a sunny day in Paris, and Marinette had slept in, as usual. "Come Marinette, wake up! We're gonna be late!" Tikki was saying, trying to wake her. "You have 10 minutes to get ready and get to school!"

Now, this, of all things, was enough to make Marinette get up and rush around trying to get ready so that she wouldn't be late for school. "Ahhhhhh! Tikki, I'm gonna be late!"

Tikki chuckled. "What am I going to do with her?"

Running down the stairs at full speed (and surprisingly not tripping) she rushed out the bakery's front door while simultaneously grabbing a croissant and calling "Bye Maman, bye Papa!". Like Tikki, they just chuckled and went on with their day. This was a normal occurrence in the Dupain-Cheng household, after all.

Marinette bolted across the street, dashed up the front steps of Collège Françoise Dupont, ran into her classroom, and made it into her seat just as the bell rang.

"Whew." She said, turning to Alya. "I thought I was going to be late."

"Wouldn't be the first time." She replied. "Now be quiet, class is starting. Wouldn't want to get in trouble, would you? Not after all of the tardies you've had."

"Good point." Marinette said, getting out her notebook and putting her attention on the teacher and the lesson.

"Good morning, class. Today we will be studying-"

And then the whole room dissolved and went black.

So, I know this first chapter is kind of short, sorry about that, but I figured that this was the best place to end this chapter, on a cliffhanger, you know? Hope you like the chapter, and updates will be out whenever possible. I also don't know how to rate/make a description for my stories, so I'll work on that.
