Enjoy!
Suddenly Adrien Agreste was very aware of somebody pulling the blind's down.
He groaned and got up; he just had the weirdest dream that his next-door neighbour had destroyed their reality and rebooted it.
But he knows it was too crazy to be true.
"You slept in, again. Was the party, you went to last night that good?" Suddenly a female voice.
Adrien froze because even though he hadn't heard it in years, he would recognise it anywhere.
It was the voice of his late mother.
But it can't be.
He turned around not daring to believe it.
But it was.
Standing next to the window with the sun shining through was his mother in a black suit as if she had never died in the first place.
"...Mother?" Adrien said, not daring to believe it.
The woman came close to him and frowned before putting her hand over his forehead and checking his temperature.
Adrien could feel the heat from her hand pressed against his head.
She was alive.
"Is there something going around? First, your father acts like I just crawled out of the grave and now you" Said his mother.
That's when she was surprised when her son suddenly embraced her into a bear hug.
She embraced him back.
"Adrien...I thought you were too old for hugs" She said, in her mind, she remembered him complaining yesterday about how much she babied him, and it was hurting his style.
"Me? Too old? Never" Adrien said, why on earth would he say that. "I'm just glad; you're here."
"...okay?" She said, before saying. "Do you want to have breakfast first or do you want me to continue hugging you?"
And that's when they both heard it.
It was a loud rumble coming from Adrien's stomach.
Adrien tried not to blush.
"Break it is." She said, "Just like what I told your father this morning. I'm not going anywhere today. So, you can let go. That's how I stopped your father from following me in here."
And Adrien released her.
Reluctantly.
She was amused by how strange both males of the house were acting around her today.
Then she left, and Adrien wanted so badly to follow her.
And then something occurred to him.
Wait, a minute.
How was his alive!?
Was he dreaming?
Was he in an illusion?
But she felt and sounded so real.
And that's when he noticed it.
The room that he called his own was no longer the room he called his own.
There were clothes everywhere he looked, wither on the Furniture or laying on the floor.
There were posters hung up on the walls that had subjects that he was genuinely interested in.
Getting up and having a good look around, he saw that the giant library on his second floor, no longer existed; instead, the space had been split in half, one half was a mini arcade, the other, was a guitar collection.
His jaw dropped.
It was like he was in his room and at the same time, it wasn't his room.
He picked up one of the shiny guitar's and its reflection finally allowed him to see himself and he was in for quite a shock.
His blond hair was now grey including his eyebrows, there was a piercing at the end of one of them, and on his lower lip as well, he wore a black t-shirt that had an alligator design on it and on one of his arms was an actual tattoo!
A Tattoo!
His father would have dragged him away, the moment he stepped foot into a tattoo parlour!
How the hell did he get this?
No.
Whose body was this!?
Whose room was this!?
The dream he had, could it be real?
Or was he dreaming?
Maybe, he was dreaming; it was better to think that he was dreaming than trying to get his head around living in another reality.
So if he was dreaming, then things were bound to be different, so he began to walk out of the room, in what he saw as stripped shorts, the corridor was disappointedly, and Adrien started to make his way to the shower room.
It was huge like, but nothing seemed off about it at first glance however when he came back to 'his room', he couldn't find his usual clothes as if they had vanished or 'poofed' out of existence.
It was undoubtedly the first time in his life that he wore clothes that weren't specially selected for him and he could wear whatever he thought looked cool.
Funny enough, none of the clothes smelled despite the messy appearance as if they were once neat, but then something threw them onto the floor in a hurry to look for something.
He throws on an orange t-shirt with a black leather jacket, jeans and boots.
Then he walked out.
This was a dream anyway, so what does it matter what he wore?
He walked downstairs, and he saw Nathalie, it was the first time he had seen her when this dream started.
"Young Master, Adrien. Your parents are in the dining room" Said, the woman, not saying anything about his look.
And he blinked.
Young Master Adrien?
Dream Nathalie was weird.
Adrien walked to the dining room and saw the familiar dining table, but it was much shorter.
Miraculously, he could see his father in all his uptight glory sat at the table!
But it wasn't as shocking as seeing the fact that his mother hadn't disappeared, but she was sitting in a chair and having some toast.
Both of them saw him, and something that could not be mistaken as anything but shock entered his father's eyes.
"It's about time you joined us," Said, his mother motioning for him to take a seat, meanwhile his father looked ready to bend over from shock.
"ABOUT TIME!?" His father suddenly burst out, making him freeze. "What on earth are you wearing!? What have you done to your hair!? And you better pray that those piercings, on your face and that tattoo isn't real".
And Adrien realised with shock that, that he wasn't dreaming.
This would be his father reaction if he appeared with piercings and a tattoo, however, his mother looked at her husband strangely.
"I want you to go back upstairs and come down when your presentable" Said, the man.
"Gabriel...what has gotten into you?" Finally, his mother spoke up. "You never had a problem with how our son looked before; this is even quite tame compared to the other kid's. Everybody looks like him"
And his father looked like he had just been slapped and so did Adrien.
What?
All the other kids looked like this?
"All the other kid's looked like this?" His father said, looking at his wife as if she had grown another head.
"Don't you remember, you looked like this too when you were younger." Said, his mother making both of their eyes widen. "I did as well, but we both eventually grew out of it. You act like it never happened."
She was so sure that Gabriel dressed like this when he was younger, that it was astounding.
Adrien knows his father wouldn't dare look like this around his age and took the chance to sit down anyway.
A plate was put in front of him, and Adrien was amazed to see a good breakfast that everybody else ate instead of his super fancy food.
He didn't know that Gabriel had, had a word with the Chef earlier when he saw the food and the man seemed to have mysteriously forgotten, how to cook food he was employed for.
Adrien began to nibble on some toast, and that's when he remembered something important.
He had been exposed to a video of his father becoming Hawk Moth, the same person who terrorised the people of Paris.
Ladybug had said it was his father before, but it was completely different from seeing an actual video.
Where was Plagg?
Where was the Kwami, he saw his father with?
Scratch that.
His father was Hawk Moth!
His father was all too aware of his stare, they both know that the dream they had now wasn't a dream.
They wanted to hear it from each other mouths that they were, who they were on that video.
"..why are you both looking so serious?" Said, the woman of the house.
"Nothing" They both said.
Just than Nathalie came in and said. "Young Master Adrien friend is here."
Friend?
"It must be Nino" Said, the woman of the house. "Send him in."
Nino? Adrien thought, remembering his friend who had been apparently 'reborn', so his best friend was okay then?
Then the boy was sent in, and 5 minutes later, the boy walked into the room, and both Adrien and his father were stunned.
Nino, the music loving geek that he was had transformed.
His red cap, was now solid black, underneath it was a little bit of hair that was split between three colours, blue, green and purple.
His headphones that were orange and black was now solid black, his blue top had become dark green, and out of his sleeves, they could see blue and red flame tattoo on his arms.
He had a piercing on his bottom lip and his ears, but what made both of them genuinely noticed him was his warm eyes was now a shade colder.
Nino!? Adrien thought, in shock.
"Hi, Mr and Mrs Agreste," Said, the boy as if the fact that Emilie was alive was completely normal than he turned to Adrien and said. "Dude, your only eating just now? I know school is only 15 minutes but come on bro."
And Adrien understandably blinked and so did his father.
Never had Nino taken that tone with him when his father was in the room.
"...Urr, I'll finish up now" Adrien said, finishing up and then he was given his bag.
Both of them left the house, and Adrien was shocked to see Nino get into a limousine.
Wait.
Nino had a limousine!?
"What are you staring at?" Nino said, looking behind him to see.
"Nothing," Adrien said getting in.
The door closed behind them, and the vehicle began to drive away.
Adrian kept looking at Nino as Nino looked out of the window with a bored expression.
"….Nino," Adrien said.
"hm?" said the boy.
"Do you remember last night?" Adrien said.
Nino was acting weird.
"You mean the party last night?" Nino said. "Of course. I remember it. Things got crazy."
And Adrien was surprised that he remembered.
But Nino said, "It was the biggest Party in Paris, and it was totally wicked. Nobody know who was hosting it, but then at the end, it was revealed that none other than the legendary Master of the universe throw the party. Everybody was freaking out. His parties are legendary and were lucky enough to get in one, even if it was a small one."
And Adrien stared.
That wasn't what happened.
Had Nino memory been rewritten?
"Now that party was a night to remember," Nino said, so sure of his memory. "I got so drunk that I couldn't feel my body, but you wouldn't know that because you and your girlfriend Marinette were to busy locking lips with each other to notice."
And Adrien almost bent over from shock.
He and Marinette was doing what!?
Suddenly they heard.
"were here" from the driver.
They both got out, and Adrien was startled not to see the school; instead, they were in a meadow with some benches.
"Where is the building?" Adrien said.
"What building?" Nino said, before saying. "Are you feeling okay, dude? A Class indoors? As if we'll have class indoors."
Then he sat down, and Adrien classmates began to show up one by one looking darker and edgier.
The girls he noticed had heavy lipstick on and eyeliner but not to the point it was over-done.
When he saw Marinette and Alya arriving and confused, both of them were wearing darker clothes and lipstick.
When their eyes met, he know.
They had been brought over to this world as well.
Reality itself had been rebooted.
And scene!
Next chapter, the class is over in 15 minutes, and Adrien and the gang go to Master Wang fu place to think up a strategy to fix reality, and their first plan is to get somebody to find their true memory or at least realise that there is something off with their lives. Review/fav and follow!
