Hello! I said I was going to take Spring Break and just, well, take a break, but I decided, since season 1 officially ended Sunday (for me), why not get a chapter out. So I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I'll see you at the end. By the way, I know I said that this story starts after episode 4, but as you saw in chapter 2, Danny knows how to use his ecto beam. I decided to give to him early, because blaaah. So don't be confused, this still takes place after episode 4 but before episode 5. And to clear up confusion again, Sam left BEFORE Danny got his powers.
Party Plans part 1
Adrien was setting up his bed, to make it look like he was sleeping in his bed. He probably didn't need it since no one would check on him, but just in case. Plagg flew out of Adrien's over shirt.
"Its sooo late, do we have to?"
"A late night with Ladybug? Yes we have to."
"Remember, Pan Girl and Phantom will be there too." Adrien slumped.
"Oh yeah. Well you can't get it all, and if it makes you feel better, we'll stock up on camembert after."
Plagg's face lit up. "Alright, now you're speaking my language!"
"Great, Plagg, claws out!" Plagg gets sucked into Adrien's ring. One necessarily over the top transformation later, Chat noir stood in the place of Adrien. He smirked, and snuck out of the window, and using his staff, launched from building to building towards the direction of the rendezvous point.
After about twenty minutes, Chat landed on the building, and was greeted by Ladybug, who was holding brown satchel.
"Why hello my lady, it seems we are alone."
"Yay, how lucky." She said with sarcasm.
"What do you have there?"
"Oh nothing really." She took the satchel off of her and carefully put it on the floor. She opened it, and carefully took out a covered up batch of croissants.
"Hey, you actually brought them!" Chat said, surprised.
"It was a good idea, don't make a big deal out of it." She looked at him. "And get rid of that dumb grin on your face." Chat kept the dumb grin, and Ladybug looked away, trying her best to ignore him. Finally Pan arrived, and smiled.
"Food, thanks Chat." She said, thinking Chat brought these croissants, since it was his idea.
"Actually it was Ladybug who brought them." Pan gave a look of shock, before it turned into a sly grin.
"Oh is that so?"
"It was a good idea!" She looked at both of them, and saw them still grinning. Ladybug put her face in her hand. "Ughh, you guys are impossible."
"Speaking of impossible, where's Casper? The whole reason we're here is so we can question him." Chat said, while taking a croissant.
We're not going to question him, we just want to talk, and make sure he's a good guy."
"And ask him about the ghost thing. I want to make sure he's telling the truth."
"I think he is. My Kwami told me about the ghosts she's met, so he's not lying about ghosts existing and if they're strong enough, they can enter our world. But, I actually found something interesting…"
"Hey guys." They all turned and saw Danny flying down onto the ceiling.
They all sat in a circle, eating croissants and talking.
"So you guys started protecting Paris a year ago?"
"Yeah, we protect the city from common things. Mugging, car crashes, helicopter falling, but there are times we have to save the city from akumatized villains." Pan informed.
"Which are like the thing we fought this afternoon right?"
"Exactly. Akumatized victims usually get akumatized when they feel extreme negativity towards something. When they do, a terrible person who goes by the name of Papillion, takes over their minds, and transforms them into a, I guess you can call them a super villain." Ladybug said.
"Papillion? Why name yourself something so innocent?"
"I'm guessing, because he uses butterflies for his catastrophic deeds, but don't think this guy's a push over. He's given us some pretty close calls." Chat said, eating his third croissant. Phantom nodded, ignoring the awful pun. They sat in silence for a few minutes, before Ladybug decided to ask Phantom something.
"Danny you're a ghost. I hope you don't mine, but I looked you up a little. I found out, there have been sightings of you in a small town in the United States called Amity Park." Chat and Pan subtly almost choked on their food, but quickly calmed down.
"Wow, I'm surprised you found something on me."
"It wasn't much, but it does make me wonder. Why are you here?"
"Well, uh, I realized my city had enough protectors, so I thought I should leave. Heard Paris was nice, and here I am."
Chat raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?" He leaned into Phantom, who leaned back. "Yes." He said with his own eyebrow up.
"Chat, what are you doing?" Ladybug asked.
"Nothing." He said, quickly sitting straight, and shoving another croissant in his mouth. "So, how was Amity Park? Is it a dangerous place?" Pan asked
"Uh, well with the ghost kinda, but there are two, slightly competent ghost hunters. Don't worry, I have, no doubt they'll be fine."
Pan nodded. "Good. Wouldn't want to leave a city undefended." Danny nodded.
"One more question Mr. Boogedy." Chat said, swallowing his food. "How did you get here? I heard only strong ghost can open a portal into this world."
Danny had no idea what he was talking about, but he had to come up with something fast.
"Well, I was just flying around in the Ghost Zone, when I saw a portal open, and decided to fly through. Been stuck ever since." The miraculous team looked at each other for a few seconds, deciding whether to believe him or not. Finally Pan opened her mouth to talk, when all four of them suddenly heard sirens. They all looked down at the road and saw a car zooming passed accompanied by three police cars, chasing after it.
"I'm guessing this get-together's over." Danny said, stretching. "Let's go." Ladybug ordered. Everyone used they're respectful skills to follow the chase.
Someone came out of the criminal's car window and began to shoot widely. At the police. Officer Roger poked his head out slightly, wary of the flying bullets, and spoke into his megaphone.
"Stop and desist! You're only making things worse for you!" Before he could say another word, the megaphone was shot out of his hand. "Agh!" He quickly got back into the car. "Don't lose them!" The driver nodded and drove faster. On top of them, the four heroes were right on the bank robber's tail. Ladybug was swinging using her yo-yo, Danny was flying, and Chat and Pan were jumping from building to building.
"We need to get rid of that gunner." Ladybug said, while swinging from building to building thanks to her yo-yo. "Phantom, do you think you can do it?"
"No problem."
"Don't mess up Phantom!" Chat shouts.
"Just sit back and learn Noir." Phantom flew towards the car, still above it so the criminals wouldn't see. He went intangible and flew down.
Inside of the car were four guys. Two were in the front and two were in the back. The criminals were sweating.
"I wasn't expecting this much heat!" Said the driver.
"Craig, keep shooting! Maybe we can make them back off enough to get away." The criminal next to Craig ordered. Craig nodded and was about to start shooting again, when suddenly a pair of hands appeared from the roof of the car and grabbed the gunner by the shoulders of his jacket and pulls him upwards.
"Ahhh!" Everyone but the driver looked at the spot where the criminal was with eyes incredibly wide.
"The hell just happened?!" The driver asked, trying to get a peak of what everyone was looking at, but knew he had to focus on the road.
"I, we, uhhhhh." The bank robber in the back just didn't know what to say.
Outside, Phantom just finished attaching Craig to a wall with his ecto goo.
"Don't even bother trying to get outta that. But don't worry; I'll make sure to get you out so the police can get you. If I don't forget."
"What?!" Phantom shot ecto goo over his mouth. "Mmmmm!"
"And that should keep the local's ears from bleeding." And with that, Phantom flew off.
The other three were still chasing after the runaway car with the police right below. Ladybug looked around, using her abnormal planning skills, she tried to come up with a plan to stop the car. She looked at the front tires of the criminal's car, she turned to Chat Noir and Pan Girl. She then looked at a street lamp, a loose bumper on the car, and finally her yo-yo.
"Guy's I have a plan."
"Great, and here I thought we'd have to keep following them until they ran out of gas."
"No need. Pan, but I will need send you to the buildings across from you." Pan nodded.
"Go for it. Just please don't miss." Ladybug did one more big swing before launching her yo-yo at Pan and wrapping around her waist. She launched her to the other side. Pan landed on her feet, and continued jumping from building to building, still able to catch up with the rest of the team.
"Alright, I'm going to need you two to flip the car you're your escrima sticks. Throw them in front of the front tires, I'll take care of the rest." The two nodded at each other, and sped up. Danny flew next to Ladybug, who was still swinging above the police.
"Gunner down or sideways I guess."
"Good, we have a plan to take down the car."
"Interesting. Do you need me?"
"Soon, just keep up."
When Pan and Chat were ahead of the criminals' car, they nodded at each other. Chat took out his staff and split it, turning them into escrima sticks. He threw one, and Pan threw her white nun chuck. When she did, it instantly turned into an escrima stick. Both sticks were embedded into the road ahead of the car.
The driver noticed, but was going too fast to stop. Both sticks were placed strategically in front of both front wheels. When the driver hit them, the car went into the air, doing somersault after somersault. All three criminals screamed in fear, thinking they were going to land hard on the street. Luckily for them, Ladybug landed on a street lamp in front of them, and readied her yo-yo, spinning it around and around, and when the car came, she threw her weapon at the bumper of the car.
It wrapped around the bumper and Ladybug pulled. The car came to an abrupt stop. Ladybug held on to the car, which was swinging back and forth in mid-air. After just a few seconds, the bank robbers opened the doors and fell out, landing on the floor hard, but that didn't stop them. Desperate to escape, they ignored the pain and got up with their bags of money.
They turned to leave, but suddenly hear their car fall to the ground. They turned around and saw team Miraculous plus Danny standing in front of them triumphantly. "Ahhh shit." One of them says in defeat.
The police finally catch up and quickly exit their cars and run to the villains. They see Paris' heroes and tied in ecto goo were the bank robbers.
"Ahh, are we glad to see you guys." Roger says in relief. "Thank you."
"No problem officer. These guys won't be causing any trouble." Pan said.
"We'll make sure of that. You, get those guys in cars." Two guards nodded and ran up to the criminals. They tried to pull off the goo but it didn't work.
"Oh yeah, that might take a while to get off. Try shoving them all in one car." Danny advised. The two guards looked at each other and shrugged. "By the way, I stuck another guy close by. I'll show you when you're ready."
"Thank you, uhh, who are you?" Chat put his arm around Danny and smirked.
"Meet Invisobill, our new towel boy." Roger raises an eyebrow.
"Invisobill, towel boy? I don't know which one sounds more ridicules." Danny said, pushing Chat off of him. News casts start driving in and reporters immediately run up to the young heroes.
"Ladybug, once again your team saves Paris, any comments?
"Chat Noir, how do you feel having new competition for Ladybugs affection?"
"Pan, how do you feel about a new hero stealing your color pattern?"
"New guy, what's your name? Are you part of team Miraculous?"
When a reporter asked that last question, everyone asked, if not begged, for an answer. Once the heroes calmed them down, Ladybug answered the question.
"This is Phantom, the newest member to our team, if he wants to of course" Danny looked at the three heroes and smiled.
"I can't see why I'd say no." Ladybug, Chat, and Pan smile as they welcomed their new teammate into team Miraculous. Phantom's smile couldn't fade. 'I think I'm gonna love it here.'
'I think I'm gonna hate it here!' Danny thought in frustration. "Auggh!" Danny slammed his face on the desk in his room. His room was the same size as Adrien's. He even had a second floor, but the only thing in it was a king sized bed, a walk in closet, a desk, and a computer with three monitors. Natalie said he had permission to customize it to make it feel like home, which he appreciated.
Another important thing to notice was Danny's clothes. He now wore a red expensive looking jacket, over a white t-shirt. He still had wore jeans, and also had expensive shoes, all of these of course from Mr. Agreste's company.
Danny didn't mind the change, but it did annoy him a bit that Mr. Agreste basically said to change his style, because it sucked. Another thing that annoyed him was this speech. The party was today, and he had to memorize this speech he made yesterday.
'Why did I make this speech so long? I'm never going to memorize this in time.' There was a knock on the door, and Danny said to come in. Adrien walked in.
"Oh hey."
"Hey, how's the speech coming?" "I finished it, but memorizing it, that's the problem."
"Well you can take a break. We need to go get your suit."
"Ugh, I almost forgot." He put his face in his hands. "There's so much to do. Is it usually like this?"
"For me kinda, but you won't have to worry about it much. It's just crazy like this because of the party."
"Wow, sorry you have to go through this. It must be torture." Adrien shrugged.
"You kinda get used to it after a while." Adrien got on Danny's bed when a question came to mind. A question he's been meaning to ask for a while, but just couldn't get to it.
"Danny, do you know a hero named Phantom?" Danny stopped trying to memorize and turned his chair.
"Phantom, you mean the ghost boy from the news? Uh, yeah. He was a hero from Amity Park before he came here. Why?"
"Well you're from Amity Park. What if this guys following you? He could be some kind of stalker ghost." Adrien said, waving his fingers for emphasis.
"Heh, I doubt it." Danny said, getting up. He went over to his closet to get his jacket.
"Then how do you explain him being here?"
"Well," Danny looked around trying to think, when he suddenly had a story. "Actually, I accidently got him out of the ghost zone." Adrien widened his eyes.
"Really, you? How?"
"Well you know how my parents are ghost fanatics; they created this kind of ghost portal. A portal that leads to this dimension called the Ghost Zone. Well I turned it on and it worked, but something happened I didn't except. A ghost came out of it, right after I turned it on, and the ghost was none other than Phantom."
"So you think he's following you because he feels indebted or something?" Adrien asked, getting curious. Danny shrugged. "I don't know. I don't understand ghosts."
"Well I guess that explains a few things. I'll be honest for a second I thought maybe you were Phantom."
"Hah Hah, you obviously don't know me that much." Danny said, scratching the back of his head. "I can barely save a cat in a tree."
"Heh heh. Well we should probably start going. Before Natalie gets us by the ear."
They left Danny's room and walked down the hall.
"Natalie, I don't think she likes me."
"Don't worry about it. Natalie might act rude, bossy, and a bit scary, but she's actually a cool person, once you get to know her."
"I'll have to see that for myself." They got to the stairs and saw Natalie talking to that old, but slightly buff man again, but this time they weren't talking as softly as before.
"I'm sorry Mr. Gardel, but Mr. Agreste will not give you a second chance."
"But, I've been planning parties since Adrien was in diapers, how can…"
"That's exactly why. Your style is to old fashion, and this party proves it."
"What?! This party will be amazing, Mr. Agreste would not approve of it if it wasn't."
"Amazing, but not current I'm afraid." The old man turned around and saw a young formal looking woman. She had red hair tied in a bun, glasses, and a smug look.
"Old fashioned?"
"Your style is stuck in the past. How is Mr. Agreste supposed to bring guests over if his parties aren't current?"
"There's nothing wrong with the style I use."
"Well that not what Mr. Agreste is saying." The old man looked at Natalie.
"Natalie please. Can't you convince him?"
"I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do. He has allowed you to attend, seeing as how you made the party but…"
"Forget it! If he wants me to leave, then I'll just get my paycheck and do just that!" He walked out of the house, with absolute rage. Adrien and Danny looked at each other.
"Who was that?"
"Christopher Gardel. He's the one who plans all of my father's parties."
"More like was. Sounds like he just got the boot." Adrien looked disappointed.
"Sounds like it. It sucks thou. He's been around for so long, kind of like a part of the family."
"Well I'm sure he'll be alright." Danny said, putting a hand on Adrien's shoulder. Adrien smiled, when suddenly Natalie called.
"C'mon we're going to be late!" She said." The two quickly rushed down the stairs.
Meanwhile back in Chris' apartment, Chris was on his couch and he was angry. More than a decade, he's given his life for the Agreste family, and they just throw him out, like he was… he was just another piece of food that passed his expiration date. How dare they! In front of him was his coffee table which had some random stuff on it.
Chris sent them all on the ground out of anger. Chris, looked at his golden watch, a watch he received from Mrs. Agreste before she… She gave it to him for all his hard work and he's never token it off. He figured he was a part of the family, but today has proven otherwise. Still upset, Chris sat back and looked up at the ceiling, trying his best to relax.
Somewhere in an unknown part of Paris, shutters opened, allowing none other than Papillion to see the beautiful city before him.
"Such sadness, such betrayal, such regret. What a perfect host for one of my akuma. He held out his hand, and a butterfly flew into it. He covered the pure little thing with his other hand and watched as the dark energy consumed it. When it was done, he let it free, and the akuma flew towards the window. "Fly my little akuma and darken his heart!"
The akuma made its way to Chris' apartment and entered his watch, changing it from gold to obsidian. Chris immediately sat up, slouched but attentive. His eyes looked glazed, as Papillion's symbol appeared in his face.
"Hello Planner, I am Papillion. Your feelings of hurt reached out to me and I know exactly the cure. I can help you get revenge on the ones who left you to rot and those who replaced you, all I need in return are Ladybug's, Pan girl's, and ChatNoir's miraculous, do you think you can do that?" "The perfect plan is already in my mind!" He said with a huge grin, before darkness consumed him.
Later at night the party began, and it was going well. Guests were arriving one after another, and people were chatting everywhere. Tables were set for the guests to sit down, and there was still space to walk around. Waiters walked around with trays of snacks to hold the guests off until dinner, as well as refreshments.
Gabriel was walking around talking to guests one after another with the same smile on his face, a smile people didn't see often, even if it was fake. As for Adrien and Danny, they stuck together, smiling and thanking any guests that went by. After the last guest they said thank you to left, Danny immediately dropped the smiled and groaned.
"I didn't think your cheeks could hurt so much just from smiling."
"Yeah and the party's just getting started." Adrien said, grabbing water off of a waiter's tray. They talked about stuff, and smiled to any guests, who came to say hi. Danny introduced himself like thirty times to people he would probably never see again, but there was this one guy that stood out from the rest.
Danny had just come from the bathroom inside, and was walking down the stairs, when he accidently bumped into someone. Danny looked up and saw another business man looking guy; this one was on the phone. He had gray long hair, tied in a ponytail.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was just on my way inside, I didn't even notice you." "It's fine, it was my fault too Mr. uh"
"Masters, Vlad Masters. You must be the boy who was lucky enough to move to Paris for a whole four years."
"Sure, if that's what you want to call it." Vlad put a hand on his shoulder.
"I know it must be whack," Danny raised an eyebrow.
"It must be what?"
"but this is an amazing experience, and you will soon see that as well."
"I hope so Mr. Masters."
"I have no doubt Mr." "Fenton, Danny Fenton." He held out his hand and Vlad hesitated for a second, before shaking it.
"Well, I've kept this guy waiting long enough. I hope to see you in the future, Mr. Fenton." Vlad walked up the stairs, apologizing to the guy on the other end. Danny continued to walk down the stairs thinking about how that guy said whack, and didn't notice Vlad looking back at Danny with curious eyes.
Danny didn't have long to walk around because now it was time for dinner. As waiters told the guests to please find their seats, Danny walked up to the stage, where his, Adrien, and Mr. Agreste's seats were. Once everyone was in their seats, Gabriel stood up.
"Before we begin eating, Daniel would like to say a few words." People clapped, and Danny stood up nervously. People watched him and he looked back at them, desperately trying to remember that long and boring speech he made, finally he sighed.
"Look, I wrote this whole speech that frankly I can't remember and you probably don't want to hear." He earned a few laughs and chuckles. "But I don't need a long speech to say that as long as I'm here I promise to make the most of it and I also promise to hold the Agreste Company's name with pride, since it's all because of them I'm here. I hope to make great friends and great memories here in Paris. I also hope, with Mr. Agreste's help, I can turn from a measly C student to an A."
He looked at Mr. Agreste, and he looked back. Not with anger or happiness, not even shock, just looked.
"So let's give a round of applause for Mr. Agreste, for giving me, a regular kid, the chance to see things I never thought I would." Everyone clapped, and Danny sat down.
"Nice." Whispered Adrien.
"Thanks. Not bad for something I pulled out of my ass at the last minute." When the clapping died down, everyone suddenly heard one lone clapper. They all turned to the clapping, which was coming from the top of the gate. On top of there was a slightly buff man. He had clown make-up his hair was green and slightly curly.
He wore purple pants, a green vest tie, and a purple coat with big sleeves. He kept clapping with a smile on his face.
"What a touching speech, but did anyone else hear all those goals, all of those plans? Plans rarely work out, well unless you're me of course." "Who are you?" Gabriel asked in anger. "Why, I'm the Planner and boy do I have something for you.
And we'll end it there. Will the Planner be stopped, or will this night go completely according to plan? Keep reading to find out.
Yes I used Heath Ledger Joker's design. I thought "why not?" and did it.
Also as you can see I have a new style, I'd like to thank NoSignalBlueScreen for the advice. Tell me what you guys think.
So season 1 is over *cries* but that's okay. Now I can write season 1 and blend it in with the story a bit easier. I'm also glad that Alya still has a chance to get the fox miraculous. Let's all hope it happens.
Answers!
- Thanks!
NoSignalBlueScreen- Thanks for the advice, and I'm glad people don't accept fighting every single chapter.
Star Amulet- More interactions on the way.
Kimera20- Thanks!
S.S Pie- Well it was the Fentons. Gabriel did a thorough background check before picking him of course. Well I think if anyone encountered Gorilla they'd have the same reaction too. As for Pan… Thanks for all the complements.
OceanDaughter7-Thank you, and I frankly hope to see more Danny Phantom Ladybug crossovers in the future.
Timewarp321- Very much so yes.
Featherheart4248- Keep reading and thank you!
There's one more thing. Since season 1 is over, I decided to recommend Miraculous youtube videos that I think really show the series' amazingness. (Not a word, sticking with it.)
So here's the first. Miraculous Ladybug Season 1 Tribute - French + Engish + Korean Megamix
Keep living life, and I hope to see you next time.
