Marinette went through the rest of school sulking. Adrien and Marsella did EVERYTHING together, she sat with him in class, she hung out with him in between, and he even offered to have her over for lunch!
Okay, so maybe he was just being nice to Marsella, but what if this was another Lila incident? Marinette couldn't be sure. She thought over this as she came home from lunch, while she was eating, and even on the way home, but nothing came to mind of how to solve this little predicament. So Marinette decided to talk to Tikki.
As Marinette walked into the locker room she looked both ways, checking to see if the coast was clear. Since it was she came over to her locker, unzipped her backpack, and out flew Tikki.
"Tikki, I just don't know what to do," Marinette sighed, "There's a new girl in class and Adrien is being really nice to her, he even offered to take her to Andre's ice cream, what if she's just going to turn out to be another Lila?"
"Marinette, I'm sure this girl is fine, if you haven't seen her do anything specifically mean then I wouldn't worry about it, it's obvious that Adrien is just helping this girl out!" Tikki advised.
"I don't know Tikki, the last time this happened Lila was akumitized, are you sure I should trust her?" Marinette asked.
"If you're so worried you can always keep an eye on her, but don't scare her off! She's in a new place and Adrien is a person she can talk to in a place that she doesn't know anyone." Tikki thought.
Marinette sighed, "Maybe you're right Tikki, maybe it's nothing. Something just feels off about this girl."
"Maybe it's not the girl," Tikki said "But the jealousy over the fact that she may or may not have a crush on Adrien, and that Adrien may or may not have a crush on her."
Marinette frowned but knew deep down her kwami was right.
"Okay, I'll see if that's it. Now get in, I need to head to class."
Tikki nodded and flew into Marinette's backpack, resting in the little pocket that Marinette had added some stuffing and cotton balls in.
As Marinette headed to class she noticed Marsella and Adrien talking as they walked to class, however she decided to ignore this and just kept walking, reminding herself to just ignore them. Soon they were both in class and Alya, thank goodness, was sitting next to her again.
When everyone was seated in class Ms. Mendeleiev started explaining lab safety, taking note that Rose was listening. After the lecture was over, and after she had taken Rose's perfume, they began their assignment.
Marinette looked over at Alya and together they started following what Ms Mendeleiev was doing, which was a difficult process but Marinette and Alya had figured out how to navigate their way through the class.
Right as Alya passed Marinette a beaker an alarm sounded, but this wasn't the fire alarm, this was the akuma alarm.
Ms. Mendeleiev quickly ushered the students towards the door and out to the safe rooms that the school had installed.
While the class walked three students slipped out one at a time when no one was looking.
Marinette raced back into the classroom and ducked down behind one of the desks.
"Tikki, it's time," Marinette whispered "Tikki! Spots On!"
A miraculous pink light surrounded Marinette as she transformed into Ladybug. Once the transformation was complete Ladybug raced outside and looked around to see what the trouble was, and to find Chat Noir.
Ladybug flung her yoyo and flew through the sky, resting on top of a building overlooking the seine. At the base of the eiffel tower smoke billowed up towards the sky.
"What happened…" Ladybug said to herself.
"Who knows," said a voice behind her, Ladybug jumped around to find Chat Noir behind her "But whatever happened we should get there quick."
Ladybug nodded and the two flew through the air towards the eiffel tower. When they landed on the ground the smell of smoke filled their lungs and they doubled over coughing, but the source of the fire had been spotted, a girl was standing in the middle of the base of the tower.
The girl's skin was bright orange, she was wearing a red dress that spread around her, and her hair was a fiery red that flickered around her face.
"I am Flame!" Flame yelled "I will not rest until I have taken you miraculouses Chat Noir and Ladybug!"
"We'll never let that happen!" Ladybug yelled.
"Then it is a fight you want! It is a fight you will get!" Flame flicked her wrist above her head and a bolt of fire came speeding towards Ladybug, too fast for her to move.
Before the bolt could hit Ladybug a figure fell down from the sky and held out a long silver dagger. When the fire hit the dagger the metal absorbed it, leaving the dagger slightly glowing.
Flame stared at this new arrival "WHAT?! Who are you?!"
The figure, who Ladybug could now tell was a girl, said "Lunar Eclipse, and I will not let you take her miraculous."
Okay whaaaatt?
I know, I know. It's a short chapter, but there will be more chapters with more stuff soon.
But who is Lunar Eclipse?
Why did she even save Ladybug?
As always, questions are encouraged.
