"Where is she?" Queen Bee/Chloé whined.
"Hold your horses Stripes!" Volpina/Alya grumbled "I'm sure she'll be here soon."
"Ya Chloé, calm down." Nino/The turtle snapped "she will be here as soon as she can." Chloé rolled her eyes and slumped against the wall. Chat giggled and leaned on his staff, half asleep from his visit to Mari's. After ten more minutes they heard a loud knock on the door, and then it was shoved open. The masked hero marched in with an angered look on her face.
"Woo, Mari calm down" Alya exclaimed "your face is as red as your mask!"
"Sorry" LB apologised "Thing morning I woke up and Mama and Papa wanted me to help in the bakery this morning, i usually do before school, but I had told them that I had to be here for 7:45 but they forced me to work for the last hour. And then they got mad because I accidentally fell on an eiffel tower cake, because there was some yeast on the floor, so I had to shower. And… UGHH! They are SOO annoying" Mari continued to rant. Chat rolled his eyes and responded.
"At least you have parents that love you!" He murmured
"Well sometimes I wish they would just leave me alone!" Mari argued
"WELL YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE THEM WITH YOU, SOMEONE TO LOVE YOU!" Chat screamed
"Chat, calm down… you're scaring me, please."
"NO, MARI! YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR PARENTS, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST PARENTS IN PARIS, AND YOU NEED TO FIND OUT HOW LUCKY YOU ARE."
"Chat, please calm down. Chat felt a outrage that he had never felt before, an anger that burned inside himself so badly that his outrage caused him to do what he would always regret.
"SHUT UP!" He roared. He grabbed Mari's shoulders and pushed her to the ground. She felt right on her backside, hitting her head against the wall.
"CHAT, what the heck!" Volpina screamed
"Calm down bro!" Nino cried
"Marinette! Are you okay?" Chloe questions
"Yes, I'm fine" Mari respond tears running down her face. She rubbed the back on her head.
"Mari…. I-i'm so sorry, I-i don't know what i was doing." Chat held his hand out to help her up. "Here let me help you." Mari looked up at him, he could see many things in her eyes: fear, sadness, but most of all confusion.
"No thanks" She grunted. Pushing herself up using the wall, ignoring her partners apologies. She turned to the rest of her group "Let's go" she ordered.
"Mari" Chat interrupted
"I said let's go" She said, no emotion in her voice, and wouldn't look him in the eye. Ladybug exited the house, and whipped his yo-yo onto a telephone pole, following Volpina to the hideout of Hawkmoth.
