Miraculous: Dreams of Ladybug and Chat Noir Ch.2
"Ah no! Nonono! Don't go there! Turn turn!" Adrien yelled as he played Mario Kart in his bedroom with his younger brother named Ben.
"Hehehe!" Ben laughed. "I'm gonna beat you!"
"No you're not, we've still got one lap lef- AH! Why'd you use the lightning bolt?" Adrien asked, upset.
"Because I can!" Ben smirked.
The race ended with Ben beating Adrien.
"I win! Hehehe!" Ben cheered.
"Haha, alright alright! Good job Ben," Adrien congratulated.
He then reached his hand out to high-five him, but stopped when he looked outside the window and noticed it was abnormally dark. He then walked closer to the window to realize that darkness was actually one huge cloud of smoke, coming at a fast pace towards his house! Adrien then grabbed Ben's arm and dragged him downstairs, where his mother was.
"Mom! We have to get out of here!" Adrien yelled. "There's a huge cloud of smoke coming towards us! It could be a city fire!"
"No dear, you must run away with Ben. I'll stay here," Adrien's mom said.
"But Mom-"
"No objections." Adrien's mom then reached out a hand to caress her son's face. "You've grown up to be such a fine young man Adrien. Same with Ben as well. But in this time of crisis both your father and I want you two to escape safely. Use the escape tunnel built into the basement of this house. The end of the tunnel will lead you to a safe house. Now go!"
Mrs. Agreste gave Adrien and Ben each a bag of supplies and lead them towards the door to the basement. Adrien and Ben looked one last time at their mother, with sorrow on their faces. They then quickly descended down the stairs.
During their walk through the tunnel, Adrien could hear what he thought to be bombs exploding throughout Paris.
"Adrien…I'm scared," Ben said. "Why didn't Mom come with us? Why didn't Dad come with us? Why are we leaving alone?"
Adrien's face had a look of uncertainty.
"I wish I knew Ben. I wish I knew…"
A few hours later, Adrien and Ben reached what his parents said to be the safe house. They climbed up the stairs from the basement of the house, and when they reached the main floor they saw several other kids as well, even some classmates of Adrien's and Ben's.
"Alya! Nino!" Adrien exclaimed and ran over to them. "You guys made it out too!"
"Yeah! Our parents told us about this safe house and we all came over here," Nino said.
"Wow…I guess all our parents knew about this place except for us…" Adrien said. "Oh, but where's Marinette?"
"I only wish we knew," Alya said, releasing a worried sigh. "She was with us for quite a while but then suddenly she got lost in the crowd and….we haven't seen her since."
Adrien was dumbfounded. "We have to find her then!"
Adrien then began to walk towards the door when suddenly he heard a whizzing sound getting louder and louder.
"No…not here!" Adrien quickly thought. "EVERYBODY DUCK NOW!"
All the kids panicked and ran to the far corner of the house, just as the bomb grazed the roof of the building. The entire house shook, but luckily the roof didn't collapse nor was anyone hurt.
"Hurry, everyone get into the basement!" Alya, Nino, and Adrien instructed. Adrien remained at the top of the staircase while Alya and Nino went down to the bottom.
All the kids then proceeded to walk down the stairs to basement as rapidly as possible. Half the kids had safely made it down when Adrien began to hear another bomb coming. He frantically looked around and saw Ben still halfway across the room, slowly making his way over.
"BENNNNNN!" Adrien cried out. But it was too late. The explosion hit the house, creating a cloud of dust that covered the entire room. Adrien coughed and opened his eyes when he could sense that the dust had cleared. What he saw completely surprised him.
Ben was lying against the wall, fully conscious and being protected by a force field created by Ladybug's Yoyo!
"Ladybug….saved my brother! Ladybug saved MY brother!" Adrien thought.
Much to Adrien's disappointment however….his alarm clock on his cell phone went off, waking him up from his dream. He reached across his bed to turn it off.
"Ughhh…just when it was getting good…" Adrien sighed.
"Good? You were mumbling all night long!" Plag complained.
"Sorry, what did I mumble about?" Adrien asked.
"Something about your mom, some brother, and then Ladybug," Plagg answered.
"Mom…that's right…I dreamed she was still here…" Adrien said, looking down at his bed. "But…at least I dreamed about Ladybug again…even if it was for a short moment." He smiled to himself.
After Adrien quickly got ready, the gorilla drove him to school. As soon as Adrien walked in the classroom he overheard Marinette and Alya talking.
"Wow girl, talk about one heck of a dream! Bombings in Paris caused by an akuma, and then Chat Noir saves Manon while you were babysitting her? That kind of dream should be written down," Alya said.
"Marinette dreamed about bombings, and Chat Noir?" Adrien thought, sitting down in his seat. "That's ironically similar to my dream…"
"Eheh, I guess it should be," Marinette said, "but the bombings did scare me quite a bit. It was even harder running away from them while carrying Manon. I don't know if I want to remember that dream years from now…"
"But Chat Noir was in your dream girl! Who wouldn't want to remember a superhero in their dream?" Alya protested. She then patted Marinette on the shoulder. "But if it bothered you that much, then I understand."
"Thanks Alya," Marinette smiled.
Just then Nino walked in the room and sat down at his seat next to Adrien.
"Hey bro, what's up?" Nino asked Adrien.
"Nothing much, just had a weird dream last night," Adrien replied back.
"Whoh, really? Do you wanna to tell me about it?" Nino asked.
"Alright class, it's time begin!" Ms. Bustier said.
"I'll tell you later," Adrien whispered to Nino.
Little did Marinette and Adrien know that their dreams were going to get more and more interesting…
