ENDINGS

~ Journey ~

Everything was going great, Marinette and Adrien had begun dating on that very rooftop after they fought off Hawkmoth and his fake copies of all the villains they had once faced.

School was nearly over for the summer and something special was all planned.

"So dude, you all ready for the trip this weekend?" Nino walked up beside Adrien and hooked his arm over his best friend's shoulder.

"Sure I am, got everything all packed for this weekend, my dad said I could go without a bodyguard too, which is perfect!" Adrien smiled as they headed through the school towards the exit.

"Awesome, is your guurrrrl friend coming along?" Nino questioned, extending the word 'Girl' with a 'u' and extending the 'r'. Laughing, Nino was teasing him once again.

"She sure is, her parents have cooked us a lot of pastries and breads for the trip; it's going to be nice" Adrien grinned and winked, not fazed by the teasing.

"So Gurl, you and your boyfriend going to spend a nice time alone together at the camp?" Alya questioned Marinette as she poked her in the rib.

"Hey Alya… that isn't funny… don't say stuff like that" she blushed back at her best friend and held her books closer to her face. "Yea he's my boyfriend, you can stop teasing me about it, it's an entire month since we started dating" Marinette spoke back as they walked towards the exit from the other side of the school.

"It's rather funny that you and Adrien started dating at the same time that Ladybug and Chat Noir announced that they defeated Hawkmoth AND then Chat Noir showing this…" Alya showed her phone to Marinette.

On the phone, Chat Noir and Ladybug standing at the base of the Eiffel Tower.

"People of Paris and France" Ladybug announced as camera's and microphones pointed their way.

"Paris has now been made safe, the villain Hawkmoth, the danger to our city and our nation is now gone. Hawkmoth was defeated by Chat Noir and myself." Ladybug grinned softly. "Everyone can live free and safe from being Akumatized."

"Oh and one more thing!" Chat Noir suddenly interrupted. "Ladybug and I are both now dating, we are going out and I can prove it!" he grinned, turned to her and pulled her into his arms, bending her over and kissing her on the lips.

People behind the camera laughed and cheered, Ladybug going red as the video ended with a quick wink from Chat Noir.

"Yea, that kiss really was a shocker" Marinette blushed at the memory, but Alya just thought that was her shyness kicking in again.

"I can't believe I wasn't there for the scoop, I had to catch it by the web." Alya complained as she fiddled with her phone. "Hey look, it's your boyfriend" She teased as she saw Adrien and Nino coming the other way.

"Alya… stop teasing me." Marinette groaned as she elbowed the girl again.

"Hey dudettes!" Nino called out as he waved to the girls. As the two groups met at the front gates of the school.

"You girls already for the trip?" Nino asked as he walked up to Alya and kissed her cheek.

"Sure am, it's going to be a good two weeks together" Alya asked as they shared a quick kiss on the cheek.

On the other hand, Adrien and Marinette shared a kiss on the lips, Alya and Nino chuckling and laughing at them.

"Oh shut up you two…" Marinette and Adrien both said at the same time to the others.

"So, what time you setting off?" Adrien asked Nino.

"Alya and I are going together, my father is setting off at 10am and should be there by 2, you?" Nino replied, starting to walk to the gate out of the school.

"We could travel together too?" Marinette asked Adrien, who nodded softly.

"Sure, my driver could easily come by and pick you up. I did plan on getting there a little earlier, I do have to set up the reservation and rooms" he chuckled softly as he kept his arm around her as they walked.

"Fine by me. Pick me up whenever, I'll be up" Marinette grinned.

"Yea, bet you'll be at Adrien's house smooching it up anyway" Alya cut in with a giggle, bringing Marinette to a nice colour red and giving her friend's elbow a slap.

"Alya… Stop it." She groaned.

"Probably true through" Adrien added to the laughter of Alya and Nino; turning Marinette even more red.

"See you this weekend!" Nino grinned and turned off with Alya towards his dad's waiting car.

"See you Nino, see you later Alya" Marinette called back.

"Yea see you dudes!" Adrien called too, holding Marinette's hip as he waved.

"So, now we're alone, where are we going?" Marinette asked Adrien as she looked up at him.

"We could always go home and make out, you seem to like that" Adrien teased but got a slap on his chest for his troubles.

"Let's go pack for the weekend, it's going to be a good trip. I can't wait. Our first trip out together" Marinette grinned wide.

"You know you have never stopped smiling since I kissed you on the rooftop" Adrien winked and began to guide her down the road, they would head around her place and pack before going to his.

"Maybe I have something to smile about." She winked back and walked with her boyfriend down the road to her home.

The next few days they spent packing for the trip to the summer camp, it was going to be an excellent getaway for the pair of them and together with Nino and Alya, it was almost like a double date.

Adrien's driver took them both South East towards the Swiss border to their camp around near Geneva and the Alps. It was a brilliant summer camp with a mountain retreat. When they pulled up along the A40 and drove up the mountain roads, Marinette was staring out of the window ever since they passed Lyon. In fact she had done nothing but stare out the window the entire time.

Adrien did not mind this, he liked to watch Marinette get excited, she had never fully experienced being driven around by a private driver and had never explored much outside of Paris.

She had been to China back where one side of her family descended from but still always liked to explore and take in everything around her. Adrien even snapped a picture of her with his phone, snapping her out of her little daze.

"You taking pictures of me again?" she asked with a soft blush.

"Sure am, I'm rarely on this side of the camera; I am usually the one on the front side of the camera." Adrien explained as he showed her the picture he took. She blushed at the smile on her face in the photo.

The pair soon arrived at the camp and while Marinette waited in the car. Adrien made sure everything was paid for and picked up the keys to the cabin the four of them were going to be staying in. Once everything was all done and paid for in advanced, Adrien came back to the car.

"Alright my girl! I got the keys" Adrien chuckled and slipped in beside her. Leaning over the front seats, he directed the driver towards the shack. It was quite large and one of the bigger ones and Adrien had made sure to get the best one he could find.

"Wow Adrien, you really do like to splash out on things. It's perfect." Marinette told him and leaned over, kissing his lips softly before remaining leaning against him as they pulled up the drive.

"Alright Adrien, I'll help unload the car then I'll be going. Your father told me to leave you all to yourselves." His driver explained and got out the car. Adrien let Marinette go inspect the place while he and the driver unpacked their luggage.

As Marinette opened the single door to the cabin, she gasped in wonder. The place was amazing, the main door led into a large living room with two three seater sofas around a large fireplace that would soon see a roaring fire. She wandered into the living room and saw the corridor leading to the bedrooms. There were two large master bedrooms, she leaned into each one and picked the one that she preferred and threw her shoulder bag and jacket onto the bed before going to help Adrien move their bags.

"This place is beautiful Adrien, thank you for this" she kissed his cheek as he put down a case, rushing out to help take the others.

"You do not need to thank me for doing something for the girl I love" he grinned softly and kissed her lip softly.

Once they had the bags inside the house, Adrien began to prepare some food for them, it had been a long journey and the driver would be setting off again in an hour after a short rest.

Once the driver had gone, Marinette stood by the door giggling. "It's like we have our own home, like a family" she giggled softly and looked back at Adrien who had just finished taking out some drinks from the fridge and brought them over.

"It is, imagine it, a little Ladybug and Chat Noir running around?" he joked softly and she blushed.

"Oh shush Adrien. Now, Alya and Nino don't arrive until tomorrow, do you think… we can steal some time together?" she giggled and put her hands around his neck, kissing softly.

"Oh, what do you think we can do?" Adrien asked quietly.

Oh he found out what she wanted to do. Marinette had pulled his hand as she guided to the bedroom they would be sharing for the next few weeks. Adrien grinned as she closed the door behind her.

Standing at the foot of the bed, Adrien stood grinning as Marinette's fingers played with the bottom of her shirt, lifting it up and throwing it into what would soon become a pile of clothing.

Adrien matched her movements as he threw his own shirt away, following their trousers and socks. Stood in their underwear, Marinette blushed deep red as they stood in just their underwear.

Adrien stepped forward and kissed her lip passionately, pulling her back until they fell on the bed.

~ The Second Couple ~

"I bet they're going to be so surprised when we turn up a day early" Nino laughed as they sat in the back seats of the taxi. They had taken the train to a nearby city and then they had planned on getting a taxi up to the camp grounds.

"Marinette's going to be so surprised, she's always surprised by sudden things" Alya chuckled and watched as the mountains rose up in front of them; they had been watching them for the past few hours and were approaching the camp.

It was at least two or so hours after Adrien and Marinette would have arrived so it meant they could hang out for the rest of the afternoon and into the night; they could always head out down the mountain via taxi or bus and head into the city for a wild Friday night clubbing.

Arriving at the camp, they got the address for the house they would be staying at from the front desk before taking the taxi up to the front door. They unpacked the taxi and Nino paid the tab while Alya went into the house. She opened the door and looked around.

"Wow, this place is so great, it's amazing that Adrien could get a place like this for us" she sighed and then stopped as she heard a loud yelp. Raising her eyebrow, she headed through the house and over to one of the two back doors where she assumed the bedrooms were. A Sly grin appeared on her lips as she realised what the sounds were on the other side of the door.

"I shouldn't… should I? But it would be so funny! I can imagine their faces… Marinette! Oh gods I'm going to do it" Alya mumbled to herself quietly before taking a step back and with her phone out, she kicked the door open, it's already slightly open setting meant that it would flick all the way open with the light kick she gave the wooden door.

"Guess who got here early!" she cried and snapped the picture; the flash of her camera phone filling the room for a split second before a loud terrified scream filled the void. Marinette dived under the bed covers and hid herself in the white sheets; having been straddling Adrien, whom now sat up and stared at Alya as Nino joined her at the door.

"Get out you two!" he yelled and threw a shoe at them, Alya dodging it but Nino getting it into the chest. Nino yanked Alya out and then pulled the door closed behind him. Alya burst into a fit of laughter as she checked the photo. Luckily nothing was visible in it, the sudden movement had mostly blurred the photo but she got a good look at Marinette's bare back all the way down to the base of her spine where the bed covers hid all but the very top of her backside.

Marinette's face had been turned to look to the side and with eyes wide in shock and sudden surprise, she'd had her hand at her mouth as she seemed to be trying to keep her moans from being too loud.

"That wasn't nice Alya" Nino shook his head and took the phone, deleting the photo and then dragging her from the bedroom corridor. "I'm taking her outside, She will apologise when you two finish!" he called through the door as he dragged his girlfriend away.

"That wasn't nice Alya!" Marinette scolded Alya in a repeat of Nino's words. Marinette stood fully dressed, her face flushed red from anger and embarrassment; and probably something else but no one mentioned that.

"I am sorry Marinette, if I knew you two were doing… that… I wouldn't have done it" she half lied, smiling softly and bowing her head a little. "I am sorry" she nodded again, really meaning it.

"Just don't do it again" Adrien told her as he came out, pulling on his white shirt over his usual black T-shirt.

"I promise I'll never do it again." Alya raised her hand and placed it over her heart.

"So, now we're here. Do you guys want to hang out?" Nino asked.

"Well, we could go wander around the woods, there is a lake here that we can relax around too. The city down the road is pretty lively too, clubs and the like" Adrien explained.

"Let's go check out the lake, I'm sure we can go swimming later" Marinette nodded and went to go get her jacket.

~ The Accident ~

Over the next few days, the couples spent it all having fun; they were here for two weeks and had spent the last few days together, sharing each others time in loving embraces.

Today the group were on the banks of the lake, kicking around a football and throwing Frisbees. Adrien ran and threw the Frisbee across the field, Marinette jumped high and grabbed it with one hand and landed on all fours.

"You're pretty good at that Marinette, great hand eye coordination." Adrien grinned, knowing why but teasing her about it.

"I bet you could catch it with your mouth and land on all fours like a cat Adrien" she teased back.

"I bet I could, but then you'd have to call me Chat Noir wouldn't ya?" Adrien laughed, the others laughed too but only Adrien and Marinette realised the crux of the joke; that he was ACTUALLY Chat Noir.

"Go long!" Adrien yelled and threw the Frisbee hard, it span in the air and drifted out down across the large open field beside the lake. Marinette was running as fast as she could and knew that she could very easily jump up high enough to catch it if she transformed but that would just be silly in front of Alya and Nino.

Sliding to a stop, she stared out at the lake as the Frisbee landed right in the middle of the water, disappeared for a few seconds then plopped to the surface.

A trio of groans all let out as they all looked to Adrien.

"Sorry guys, I'll dive in and get it" he told them, walking slowly across the field as he began to pull off his shirt.

"Nah, I'll get it!" Marinette called, pulling off her shirt and trousers and taking several steps back before making a running dive into the water. They all wore swimming gear under their normal clothes in case they wanted to go swimming in the cool water. The girls in bathing suits and the boys in trunks; or that was the plan, until Adrien decided to wear speedos instead of trunks.

When he had dropped his trousers the first time and shocked Marinette with the tight set of speedos, she'd turned so red that she dived into the water without getting undressed, just to avoid them laughing at her face.

As Marinette dived into the lake, a huge splash erupted from the water. Alya looked nervous as she walked up to the water, the pair watching where she had dived in.

"Marinette?" Alya called just as the girl came to the surface, but she wasn't moving. "Marinette?!" Alya called and rushed to the edge of the water as a log rose to the surface beside her, most likely disturbed by her dive.

Adrien was already well ahead of her as he ran and jumped into the water, avoiding the log and swam under her, rising her out of the surface and rolling her over gently. He brought her to the edge of water, with the help of Alya holding Marinette's head as they placed her gently on the grass.

"Marinette, wake up" Adrien spoke softly, trying to wake her up but she wasn't stirring. Adrien looked at Alya and Nino. "Do you have your phones?"

"No, I left mine in the cabin, I didn't want to get it wet" Nino shook his head in panic.

"Mine's with Nino's…" Alya, who was normally so attached to her phone did not want to get hers wet either.

"Shit" Adrien swore and looked at the others, then down at Marinette. They were some distance away, it was a good hour run back, at least as Adrien.

"Alya, hold her head, Nino, you take my place, be careful of her neck…" He told them and softly got out from under her. He brought his hand up and spoke the simple three revealing words.

"Plagg, Claws out!". Plagg, who had been hiding in Adrien's bag with Tikki, flew out and Adrien transformed into Chat Noir right in front of Nino and Alya.

The pair's jaws dropped as Adrien took several running steps and got down onto all fours as he pounced faster through the tree's to the nearest camp.

Tikki flew out of the bag and over to Marinette, now that it had been revealed. "Marinette! Wake up, you'll be okay, Adrien's gone to get help" The little red and black polka dot Kwami hovered in front of Marinette's face as she tried to wake her up.

"Oh… my… god…" Alya suddenly blurted out. "Adrien's Chat Noir! And… that means…" she looked down at Marinette's head in her lap. "Oh my god!" she repeated.

Adrien did not stop, he kept on pouncing, shifting from all fours to two feet as he dashed, jumped and pounced his way through the woods. His staff could contact the police but it was not working, ever since their fight with Hawkmoth, it had been damaged and its call functions as well as its GPS tracking function were on the fritz.

'Why did I not get it repaired' he thought to himself, jumping down onto the step of a nearby house and smashing in through the door.

"I need to use your phone, its an emergency!" he told the panicked people, who pointed to a phone on the wall. He immediately called the police and ambulance, giving them the exact position and stated he would meet them there.

Within a few minutes a chopper was already in the air from the nearby hospital and Adrien arrived at the lakeside as it came over above them.

"Adrien" Alya looked up at him as he came running back, sliding next to them and putting his hands on the still unconscious Marinette's head. "You're…"

"Yea" he nodded, transforming back as Plagg rushed to Tikki's side, whom was crying and still trying to wake up Marinette.

"And she's…" Nino began. Adrien nodded again.

"Yea, she's Ladybug…" Alya chuckled softly and shook her head.

"I should have realised earlier, now I can't not see it… I mean her hair is in the same style" she chuckled softly and rubbed her hand down Marinette's cheek.

"Will she be okay?" questioned Nino.

"I don't know… I don't know…" Adrien sighed as he leaned forward and kissed Marinette's lip just as the first of the First Responders landed nearby and rushed over.
