I saw people asking about why Marinette is doing what she is doing, so I am here to tell you all! This chapter is a flash back of sorts...

three months ago...

Marinette looked at Chloe with sarcasm. "And what are you going to do to make me Chloe? I can just tell everyone your real personality." She noticed Chloe's grin deepen and immediatley regretted saying those words, as they would begin her endless torment for the year.

"I am the MAYOR'S daughter Maritrash. One snap of my fingers and your family bakery WILL fail its next health inspection. So watch your tongue. Not to mention I could get the entire class to ignore you completely. You would finally realize that you have no power, and no way to stop anyone from doing anything!" She laughed and began to walk away, Sabrina in tow, as per usual. She turned back one more time. "I think you and I are going to spend a lot of time together~" then she was gone. Marinette looked at the ground numbly. Chloe couldnt, could she? How coulld a human being, a minor no less, threaten to pretty much ruin her family, and her social life? With a sigh she got up and began to walk home. She couldnt stay at school right now.

As she walked, she passed an elderly man, who was walking with a cane. She looked back for a moment to see him walking towards an intersection with a green light. He could get hit! With a yell she pushed the man to the side as a car zoomed by. "Sir! Are you ok? You should be more careful!"

"Ah yes. Thank you young lady. Might I ask what is troubling you? I notice you have sad eyes."

Marinette looked at the older man. She didnt want to burden him with her problems. "Im fine. Im more concerned about you? Are you alright? I had to push you or you wouldve gotten hit and-"

"I am fine young lady. Thank you." A young girl who puts others before herself. Perhaps she is the one...

Marinette watched the old man walk by, not knowing what she would find sitting on her bedroom table the next morning. A little box, an odd shaped one with markings Marinette didnt understand. When she had gotten home she had told her parents she was sad, but not why. They didnt need that burden. Of course, Papa had made a fresh batch of pastries and sent her off to her bedroom to rest. What she didnt expect was them to give her a gift. She opened the little box to find a pair of simple red and silver earings, which shimmered in the morning light from her window. Marinette gently picked up the pair of studs and removed the ones she had been wearing. She had only gotten them pierced recently, as a way to start off a better year. She put the two earings in, and was surprised when they glowed for a moment, and a tiny red creature appeared in front of her. "OH MY GOD. A FLY. A...ladybug?! A LADYFLY." She grabbed a cup and captured the small creature that looked up at her in confusion.

"Hello Marinette! My name is Tikki and-"

"AAAAA HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME. WAIT. HOW DO YOU TALK. MAMA-" Marinette began to open the hatch to her room. The little bug thing gasped in alarm.

"Wait! I promise I wont hurt you!" The little red creature said with a calm smile. "My name is Tikki, and you..Marinette, are the next chosen holder of the luck miraculous stones!" Marinette blinked slowly. Once. Twice. She looked at the earings in her ears. Yeah they were stones, not any kind she recognized. Was she asleep? This cant be happening.

"...the what?"

adriens POV

"Yes father, of course. I will let you know as soon as I finish school. Chloe, Alya, Nino and I are going for lunch." Adrien closed the cell phone before walking off to find the cafe. Chloe had invited them on a lunch date, and he was excited. Nino had been the person he had sat next to his first day. Alya, his "friend" and crush had introduced herself shortly after. Now Adrien was on his way to meet them, when he ran right into a man. An older man with a cane. "I am so so sorry!" He immediatley bent down and helped the older man up. "My apologies sir, it wont happen again. Are you alright?" Adrien looked at the older man with concern. God if his father found out...

"I am fine young man. Thank you. You do not have to be so sorry."

"Of course I do, you couldve gotten injured. I wouldnt want that on anyone." Adrien said with a soft smile. "I have to go now, but please take care. And find me if you need payment incase you got hurt." Adrien had done all he could do so he left the man. If he had turned around he wouldve seen the older man take his cane, swing it around his shoulder and walk off.

"a boy who cares deeply about all people, no matter who they are."

After the lunch, Adrien made his way home quickely. He went up to his room to find a small box, with weird markings on it. Curious, Adrien opened it up to find a silver ring. "Father must have gotten me a gift.." Adrien sighed. It was probably Nathalie but still. He opened it and slipped the ring on, and in a couple seconds, a floating black cat appeared before him. "Whoa...i have a cat."

"Listen here kid. Im not a cat. I am kwami. You, uh..."

"Adrien." He said with an excited grin.

"Youre my chosen. A villain has stolen a miraculous stone and has begun to make evil butterflies that can posess and control anyone."

"Oh. Well...thats not good. How do I uh..." Adrien fidgited.

"Transform? You say: Plagg, Claws Out. But let me explain how to use your powers. You have this power called Cataclysm, just say it to-"

"PLAGG CLAWS OUT!" Adrien was so excited. He could...he wasnt sure what. Now that he thought about it, he didnt know how to detransform either. Oh well. HE WAS A CAT SUPERHERO. With a cheshire grin he leaped out his window and went straight for the Eiffel Tower.
