Okay, within a little over an hour of posting this fanfic, I've gotten over one hundred views, 3 follows, and 7 favorites, so I've decided to post chapter 2!

"Soooo, which dress should I wear tonight?" Marinette asked Bridgette, holding up four different dresses. Two were blue, one was soft pink and crème, and the other was black and gold. "Did you sew these?" Bridgette asked. Marinette nodded enthusiastically. "Wow. They're all really amazing, but I'm thinking maybe the black and gold one?" Bridgette pointed at the dress.

The dress was strapless and reached a little above Marinette's knees. There was a cutout section in the lower back, underneath a bow-shaped fabric strip with a button to hold it together. The dress was made of a black lacey material with gold trim around the bottom hem and the small sweetheart neckline. A few layers of gold chiffon/peplum-type fabric gave it its light volume.

"It's gorgeous. Do you have black or gold heels to wear?" Marinette nodded as she set the other three dresses down and the black and gold dress on her desk chair. "Gold." Marinette pulled a simple pair of golden heels from her closet. Bridgette checked the time.

"Goodness, Marinette! You're going to be late for school!" "Oh no!" Marinette dropped the heels, grabbed her schoolbag, and rushed downstairs. "Have a nice rest of the day!" Bridgette called. Marinette and Bridgette had spent most of Marinette's lunch hour deciding which hairstyle she should wear, and what makeup and dress and so on. It seemed that black and gold was to be Marinette's color scheme.

Bridgette couldn't help but think that the longer of the two blue dresses would look nice on her own personnel. She almost wished she could go with Marinette.

"Okay, so white and blue suit for me, and black with a bit of yellow-gold for you?" Felix asked Adrien as the younger cousin collected his schoolbag and supplies. "Yeah." "How long is this ball again?" "Seven to ten-thirty." Adrien answered. Felix groaned.

"Three and a half hours. I might 'accidentally' die, Adrien." He laughed. "It won't be that bad, Felix." "Sure." "I've got to go back to school. I'll see you later!" "Hopefully! I'm not attending this horrid thing on my own!" Felix called after him.

As soon as Adrien stepped out of the car, screams and blasts were heard. Akuma attack. Adrien ran off into an alleyway. "Plagg! Stop eating your smelly cheese and get out here!" The black cat kwami lazily flew out of the schoolbag and yawned. "What now?" "There's an akuma attack! Plagg, claws out!" Plagg groaned as he was pulled into Adrien's ring, and Adrien was transformed into Chat Noir.

Chat leapt from the alleyway onto the rooftop, and ran across them to get to the scene of the attack. "I am Tidal Wave! Ladybug, Chat Noir, show yourselves and give up your miraculous or I will flood this city!" The akuma-tized villain cried, standing atop a giant wave.

"Water. It had to be water." Chat muttered. "I take it you don't like the water, kitty?" He heard Ladybug say. He broke into a grin. "Ah, there you are, my Lady. You're right, I paw-sitively des-paws the wa-purr." Ladybug shook her head. "That was bad, even for you."

"Ladybug! Chat Noir! I demand you hand over your miraculous!" Tidal Wave said, moving her wave closer to the building they were standing on so as to be nearer when she addressed them. "Sorry, but no can do, Tidal Wave!" Ladybug said. "Fine; have it your way!" Without another word, a giant wall of water crashed onto the two superheroes.

The wave pushed them off the building and sent them spiraling. Chat righted himself and quickly swam to the surface. His Lady had just popped above the water and taken a few breaths when another huge wave crashed over them. Chat had barely broken the surface when a third crashed over him. By the time he got to the surface, he was gasping for breath.

He managed to extend his baton so that he perches on top of a tall lamp post. Chat Noir didn't see Ladybug anywhere. "Ladybug? Ladybug?" He called out. He didn't see or hear her, but he did see a flash of red still under the water. "Ladybug!" Chat leapt off the lamp post and dove underwater towards the flash of red he had seen. He found his Lady trapped underneath a car and nearly unconscious.

Chat managed to pull her out and to the surface quickly. He got the both of them on top of a building as the water level began to drop. Ladybug coughed up some water before taking a few deep breaths. "My Lady, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Chatton. Thanks for the save." She tried to get onto her feet, but swayed a little. Chat Noir caught her. "Breath for a minute, Ladybug." She did, was able to stand on her own a moment later. "Lucky charm!" She cried, flinging her yoyo up into the air. A donut-shaped floaty appeared. "What?" She asked. "Oh, I'll figure out what to do with this in a minute. We've got to find Tidal Wave."

"I think the akuma's in her surfboard pendant." Chat said. "Okay. Let's go!" The duo sprinted across quite a few rooftops before finding the akuma-tized girl in a large park in the eastern part of the city. Ladybug looked around, and a plan formulated. "Chat, use your cataclysm on that surfboard she's standing on. I'm going to get her necklace."

Chat nodded, and took off as Ladybug slipped the floaty over her head and around her waist. She ran forward too, and as soon as she saw Chat Noir hit the surfboard with his black-glowing hand, she jumped at Tidal Wave and ripped her necklace off. When she fell into the water, the floaty kept her above it.

She pulled it off, and threw it up while treading water and yelled, "Miraculous Cleanse!" The water flooding through the streets quickly disappeared, and Ladybug dropped the pendant on the ground and crushed it. "You've done enough, nasty akuma. Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug caught the black butterfly in her yoyo. "Gotcha! Bye, bye, little butterfly." She said as she let the now white and purified butterfly go.

Her earrings beeped, but she ran over to check on Chat Noir. "You okay?" "I'm purr-fectly feline, my Lady." His ring beeped, leaving only three spots. Hers beeped as well, leaving only two. "I've got to run; See you, Chat Noir!" Ladybug yoyo-ed off, and Chat Noir ducked into an alleyway a little closer to school to de-transform.

"You've got camembert, right Adrien?" Plagg asked. "Yes, Plagg, in my-" "Adrien?" A voice asked. Adrien slowly turned to see Felix in the alleyway with him. "Felix, it's not-" "Felix!" Plagg cried, dashing over to him and hugging him. "It's been too long!" "Plagg, it's only been four and a half years since I saw you last." "Still, what brings you back here?" "Stuff." Felix answered.

"Okay, Felix, you now know I'm Chat Noir, but how do you know Plagg?" Adrien asked, walking over to them. "Oh, well, it's a bit complex, but to put it as simply as I can-" "Felix was the Chat Noir before you." Plagg interrupted. "Well, I went by Black Cat, but yeah."

"You were? That's so cool!" "It was fun. But come on, you've got to get to school." Felix said. Adrien held open his bag, and Plagg flew into it. "See you, Felix!" Adrien yelled. Felix chucked, and began to walk back to the Agreste mansion.

Marinette ducked behind her parent's bakery as she de-transformed. "That was pretty quick, Tikki." Marinette said, opening her purse to pull out a chocolate chip cookie for the kwami. "Yeah. Are you sure you're okay, Marinette? You might have drowned if Chat Noir hadn't found you."

"Occupational hazard of being a superhero. I'm fine, Tikki." "Tikki?" Someone said. Tikki flew up, gasped, and darted forward with a cry of, "Bridgette! My goodness, it's been quite a few years!" Marinette turned to see her older cousin embracing her kwami.

Bridgette laughed. "I missed you too, Tikki!" "You know Tikki?" Marinette asked her cousin. Bridgette looked at Marinette and nodded. "Bridgette was the Ladybug before you, Marinette!" Tikki exclaimed. "I went by Lady Luck, but I did have the Ladybug earrings before you."

"So, you and I are both wielders of the Ladybug miraculous? That's so cool!" Marinette gushed, and she ran over and hugged her cousin. Tikki joined in, pressing up against the two bluenette's cheeks. Bridgette pulled back suddenly.

"Mari, you're going to be late for school!" "Oh, crap!" Tikki flew into her purse, and Marinette dashed across the street towards school with a quick shout of, "Bye!" Bridgette smiled, and headed back inside the bakery.
