Hi everybody, I'm new at this and this is my first fanfiction, so please feel free to comment and tell me how you feel about it. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

It started out as a normal day for Marinette, Tikki woke her up right on time so she wasn't late for school, she got dressed and put hermhair in her favorite pigtails, and ran down the stairs to her parent's bakery, where her mother gave her a pastry for her breakfast (along with her lunch) on the go. She was dressed in her usual outfit, white shirt with a pink flower pattern across the right side of her chest, a brownish grey jacket, pink capris, peach flats, and her small purse swung across her chest.

She ran the couple blocks there were to school and met up with her best friend Alya on the steps in front. Alya talked about the latest news on Ladybug and Chat Noir, which was not really news to Marinette, considering she lived it. Then, they headed to class, where Alya would talk about something Marinette wouldn't listen to because she is staring at the handsome, blonde model sitting in front of her. Then, the model (whose name is Adrien Agreste) turns around in his seat to see Marinette staring at him and gives a small smile and wave and she blushes and they buth turn away at the same time. Meanwhile, Alya and Nino (Adrien's best friend who sits in front of Alya, next to Adrien) share a knowing look and laugh.

Then, the teacher comes in and starts class and Marinette starts doodling designs in her notebook and glances at Adrien pretty oftenly. The morning goes on and lunch comes and Alya and her go to the cafeteria and sit with Adrien and Nino.

Then the unnormal happens. So, there is an akuma attack (another one caused by Chloe, the mayor's daughter who is also, put simply, the school's bully) and chaos breaks out and, somehow, Marinette gets into an empty classroom, where she shouts, "Tikki, spots on!" and the kwami gets sucked into her miraculous and Marinette becomes Ladybug. She wears a red suit with black dots on it and a matching mask and earrings.

She races to find the akuma victim and finally finds her in a classroom with Chloe cornered. Ladybug shouts, "Hey! How about you pick on someone your own size!" which obviously draws the akuma victim's attention.

Ladybug knew this victim. She is in her class! Her name is Mylene and Chloe was making fun of her this morning about her being a scaredy cat by playing a prank on her and then sticking a piece of paper on her forehead that said she was a loser. The akuma is probably in that paper where it is clenched in her right fist.

"Mylene, don't hurt Chloe just because she hurt you. If you were yourself right now, you would know it isn't right." Ladybug was trying to get through to her but it didn't work, proven by Mylene's next exclamation, "I'm not Mylene! My name is Brave [AN I know it's not the best name but it fits and is the first thing I thought of] and I am scared of nothing! And you don't know Chloe! If you did, you would know she has hurt more people than just me and deserves to finally pay!"

Oh, but I do know! I have been hurt by her too, I'm pretty sure basically everyone has. Ladybug wanted to say this but knew it would do nothing for her. So, she was relieved when Chat Noir finally appeared in his black suit with matching cat ears, mask, boots, clawed gloves, and tail. He has a gold bell at his neck, green cat-like eyes, and a black ring with a green paw on it.

"Where have you been? I almost thought you weren't going to come" Ladybug said with a smile.

"I'll always come when you call My Lady" He responded with a smile of his own, automatically making her feel better just knowing that he's there for her.

She smiled back then turned back to the akumatized Mylene, who was ignoring them now and heading back towards Chloe.

"The akuma is in the paper in her right fist." Ladybug informed Chat Noir, who nodded. They both headed toward Mylene at the same time, Chat Noir rasing his silver staff and hitting Mylene's back with it and Ladybug going around Mylene as she turned to Chat Noir.

A purple outline of a mask appeared around Mylene's face and she said, "Chat Noir, make this easier for yourself and hand over your Miraculous."

Chat responded with a smirk and an "In your dreams," which got him a tackle to the ground as Ladybug pushed Chloe out of the classroom.

Chat Noir and Mylene were wrestling on the floor while Ladybug took out here red and black yo-yo and flung it into the air, calling out, "Lucky Charm!"

A coil of rope fell into her hands and she shouted to Chat Noir, when he had the upperhand,"Catch!" He caught it and they tied it around her together. Then, Chat took the paper ou of Mylene's hand and ripped it up, causing the black akuma to fly out. Lady bug cleanses the akuma with her yo-yo and releases the butterfly saying, "Bye-bye, little butterfly." She throws the rope into the air and shouts "Miraculous Ladybug!" and everything turns back to normal.

Chat Noir and Ladybug fist bump, saying in unison "Good job!" They check to make sure everyone's ok then run out of the school to stand on the steps.

Ladybug's Miraculous beeps and she gets ready to swing away, but Chat Noir holds onto her arm and his ring beeps too. "I have to go, and so do you" Ladybug says. "We're about to de-transform, and neither of us wants to see that" she adds with a smile, so he knows she's joking.

Chat stands still for a moment then nods, letting go of her arm "Yeah. Uh... I'll see you at patrol tonight, right?" He seems a little nervous about something, so Ladybug stands in front of him and says, "Yeah, and we'll talk about what's bothering you then. Now, we have to go to protect our secret identities."

She saw him nod and they ran in opposite directions. Ladybug just made it to an empty alley a few blocks from school when she turned back into Marinette. Tikki landed in her cupped hands and shrugged, yawning. "I don't know."

Marinette's eyes widened " I didn't say anything."

Tikki smiled, sleepily "No, but the question was written all over your face. What was that about? So, I figured I'd answer to avoid the few minuted of silence before you asked."

Marinette smiled. Tikki knew her so well.

"We have to get back to school before anyone notices you're missing" Tikki reminded her, so back to school they went.

For the rest of the day, Marinette wondered what Chat could want to talk to her about. Better yet, why how could it be so important he would risk their secret hetting out?

So, that's chapter one. Again, I'm new at this so please, feel free to comment. Constructive criticism is gladly appreciated. Hope you enjoyed it!
