Disclaimer: I do not own Zootopia or any of its characters. I'm secretly very glad that out of the two submissions I've already sent in, Cimar chose this one to premiere first.

Miraculous

(Chapter 8 of "The Fluff Files")

As her red and black-dotted feet smacked against the rooftop, her yo-yo zipped back to her paw. Her legs finished running out the leftover inertia, and she slowed as she reached the edge of the building. The spandex-clad bunny breathed deeply as she focused herself for the upcoming fight with the new akumitized bad guy, a giant weasel with the strength of twenty rhinos.

"Well, well, Mi'lady, we're at it again. It's a wonderful day to fight an akuma with you."

Ladybug's smile grew into a smirk, and the bunny didn't have to turn to know who was next to her. "Welcome to the party, Chat Noir. You're a little late, but I won't hold it against you."

The black leather-clad fox tapped his baton against the roof's edge, and a sly smile painted the unmasked part of his face. A laugh, more overly dramatic than serious, came from his muzzle as he flicked at the bell by his neck. "You'll never let me off the hook for my tardiness… So, what are we lookin' at, Bugaboo? What's the plan of attack?"

Her masked purple eyes peered out at the weasel. "Duke Weaselton, now with the akuma name 'Weasel Ton.' Apparently, he'd been caught up in some scheme, was betrayed by his friends, and then Hawkmoth made his move."

Chat Noir's black-covered tail swished as his eyes followed Ladybug's line of sight. A cocky grin slid onto his muzzle. "Guess it's time to pop this weasel. This guy will be a piece of cake. Come on Carrots, let's go!"

He moved to jump, but a small arm blocked him.

Ladybug squinted at Weasel Ton, focusing in on the weasel as he lifted a semi-truck over his head. The chain necklace the weasel wore glinted in the sunlight, and suddenly the hiding place of the akuma became apparent.

"The akuma's got to be in his necklace. We're definitely going to need your Cataclysm to destroy it."

Chat Noir watched as the weasel threw the truck at a brick wall, nothing more than something to show off his new brute strength. The fox ticked off his fingers, "So the plan is, we hop down there, do some back-and-forth banter with the villain for a little bit, fight some, have you do your Lucky Charm, have me use my Cataclysm on the necklace, have you purify the akuma, and then…"

Ladybug looked back at her partner, a confused expression on her face. "'And then…?'"

Chat Noir nudged her gently, his shoulder gently bumping hers. "And then we perhaps head out for a dinner date? Would Mi'lady care for some Itailian food under a sky full of stars?"

The bunny rolled her eyes as she turned back to Weasel Ton. A playful smirk appeared on her silver-furred face, and she tried to keep the mood light between them. "Silly kitty, it's gunna take a lot more than Itailian food to get me on a dinner date with you."

Chat dramatically clasped a hand to his chest, playing along with the bunny. "You wound me, sweet Bugaboo."

They laughed for a moment before Ladybug shook her head. "Come on," Ladybug said as she waved her paw in a "follow me" gesture. Her trademark optimism flooded every word she spoke. "Let's go save the day and get that akuma!"

She hopped off the side of the building, her yo-yo already spinning out and helping her swing toward the weasel.

Chat Noir shook his head as he gazed wistfully at the mysterious bunny he had fallen for. As he spun his baton and hopped off the roof, he chuckled to himself, and a sad smile graced his muzzle. "Always to the point. Alright Mi'lady Carrots, let's go save the day."


Got permission to upload my parts to Cimar's "The Fluff Files" separate from the full collaboration fic, and I'm super grateful for it. I'm new to writing for Zootopia, but I look forward to publishing more for this lovely movie! :D I hope you enjoyed, and please send some love to the other authors in the main collab when you can! They deserve it, and they've come up with so many sweet stories so far!

If I happen to write more than the seven fic limit, then I may publish some more drabbles here, though for the time being, this will be where my seven (hopefully) fics will be! I'm so glad to working on this project, and I hope y'all like what I come up with. Until then, see you all in the next story!
