Hey guys, enjoy!

What Happens If?

Chapter 6:

*Alya's p.o.v*

'Well this is new.' Alya thought, she was dressed in the same suit she had seen oh-so many times but she was wearing it. Her idol's job now belonged to her, at least, for the time being. Truth be told, she was actually quite excited to be a superhero, even just for a day. She had dreamed every day and night for as long as she could remember to be in her shoes right now. Her red hair was up in a ponytail with bits sticking out on the front of her ear, like how Ladybug's - Marinette's normally was. The red spandex showed off her curves perfectly (and clung to her in places, she wished it didn't).

The young reporter started bouncing up and down with joy, it was the best moment of her life after all. She spun round to face her phone which was still live on the LadyBlog, the comments had picked up now and she was getting all sorts of questions and notifications from people who had never even visited the blog before. She was speechless, there were no words for the situation.

She decided to compose herself because, after all, she did have a job to do, she didn't want to let her idol or best friend down, she still couldn't believe that her best friend, Marinette Dupain-Cheng was the girl under the mask. She had spent the whole year trying to pin the girl down but really she was right in front of her. She often had hunches that were down right stupid but trying to keep her blog busy and active was taking its toll and she needed to keep up.

It all made perfect sense though, the hair, eyes, voice, her punctuality, fitness - 'Never be that girls gym partner!' Alya chirped to herself, remembering all the times where Marinette had done some ridiculously bendy trick. The girl never told her how she was so flexible but she assumed that she had gone to gymnastics or something when she was younger. Oh, how wrong she was.

To be honest, Alya didn't know how she felt about the circumstance, she was so excited to finally know Ladybug's identity but, on the other hand, she was kind of sad that her best friend hadn't told her. She did understand why she did it but she thought that they told each other everything. But right now, she had a job to do.

''Okay, Alya, you know the plan.'' Marinette shouted.

''You got it, girl!'' Alya knew exactly what she had to do and composed herself once again whilst facing her best friend. ''Lucky Charm!'' The new super hero called on her power. She stood in the stance that the hero always did when her power was activated and from it came a can of deodorant. What on earth was that supposed to do? Alya furrowed her eyebrows, not that it would do anything but it helped her to suss out what she was going to do.

''Come on, Alya. If there was ever a time to use that big brain of yours. Now's the time!'' Marinette encouraged her new super hero friend.

''Okay, think Alya-bug think.'' Alya murmured, enjoying the new nickname she gave herself. She looked around using her new enhanced senses. The only thing that told her what to do was the rope and that was all the reassurance she needed. ''Got it!''

''That's my girl!'' Marinette yelled to Alya in a sing-song tone, mocking the words that she often said to her when she did something her best friend was proud of, Ayla rolled her eyes.

Alya pounced towards Cat Noir and Marinette, using her yo-yo as a well needed balance. The Akumtized victim throwing all sorts of weapons at her, dodging them all and landing safely next to where Marinette and the cat-boy were.

She pulled the can out from where it was rested on her yo-yo and started spraying it onto the ropes. Marinette and Cat Noir smiled at each other as they figured out what she was doing. They knew the ropes would have some sort of weakness and figured that the chemicals in the deodorant must react to the ones in the ropes and break them. As predicted, the ropes loosened around them and then snapped at the centre where Alya used the aerosol.

The two were sent plummeting down the tower, neither had time to react (not that Marinette would be able to do anything, anyway) and hit a level on the Eiffel Tower, hard. The cat-boy hadn't landed on his feet like the saying goes and Marinette had dropped onto her side. It hurt the two, the superhero less than the girl but it was nothing too damaging. Although, something must of hurt the boy because; Beep beep. Less than three minutes left.

Alya watched down at what she did, she didn't mean to let them go but it just happened so fast. She still had that job to do and she would need some help to do so. She decided to go check on the two and see if they could help her.

''You guys okay?'' Alya asked.

''I may not have landed on my feet but a cat never shows weakness.'' Cat Noir retorted. The girls just stared at him with unamused looks - he did it again. ''Sorry.''

''Alya, thanks for saving us.'' Marinette smiled. ''But we still need to de-evilise her.''

''Your right but how?''

'I think I might have an idea.' The cat-boy spoke up.

''Okay, chaton, let's hear it.'' Marinette used a nickname she had only ever called him once or twice as Ladybug and that gave the boy a heartwarming feeling.

''So this girl obviously has a thing for me so maybe if I pretend to give myself up, Alya you could swipe the bracelet while she's distracted it and set everything back to normal.''

''This could work.'' Alya pointed towards him, going over the plan in her head.

''Okay then it's settled.'' Marinette turned to face her partner, not caring that Alya was there. She smiled at him and took another deep breath. ''Be careful, Cat.'' Although the two were partners, they were best friends and they both couldn't deny the chemistry they shared. She really did care about him, more than she'd care to admit.

''Don't worry, princess, I will be.'' He returned the gesture, using another nickname but one she had never heard before.

''P-princess? That's new.''

''Well, y-yeah i just thought it suited you.'' The boy stammered, failing to explain why he called her that. To be honest, he didn't know why he had. ''I-I can change it, if you don't like it.''

''I like it.'' Marinette smiled and that made the superhero's heart flutter; 'There it is again.'

''Alright you too, break it up.''Alya interrupted. ''We still have a job to do.''

'Of course.' The two mumbled.

Cat Noir pulled out his baton from behind him and ran up the pillars and bars along the tower. Alya soon followed knowing exactly what to do. 'This suits her.' Marinette thought, hoping that Master Fu was watching, he'd be able to do something about it.

Marinette's p.o.v*

Cat Noir and the new Ladybug had saved the day once again and everything was put straight, they had done it so quickly that the ring of the black cat only had two pads left. The boy didn't know why his Miraculous had held out for so long but he'd have to talk to Plagg about it later.

''Pound it!''The trio all exclaimed, fist pumping each other.

''Right, now we've cleared this up, I want all the deets!'' Alya cheered at Marinette.

''Maybe another day, Alya. I'm too tired to deal with you right now.'' Marinette yawned out her words. It was no wonder she was getting tired it was early evening now and she had been out all day. She knew all the drama was coming and just wanted to sleep everything away.

''Okay, now I think these belong to you.'' Said Alya, unclipping the earrings she had just started to get used to. Marinette took them from her putting them back on and she had to admit that when she wasn't wearing them she felt like a part of her had been stripped from her and she felt... empty. It was hard to explain but the past year had really taken it's toll on her and she was happy to be Ladybug. Her life before was boring and life-less, she had no real friends, she couldn't stand up for herself and she never really had any hobbies. But now, she was a different person. She had developed so much as a person, obviously more than she would care to admit but she had.

''Thanks, Alya, we couldn't of done it without you.''

'Yeah, I think we have a new super hero in the making.' Cat Noir stated, for once, actually saying something true.

''Couldn't agree more, kitty.'' Marinette looked her partner in the eye and both of their smiles came back and there was nothing to say. The world seem to disappear around them, Marinette knew this shouldn't be happening but she couldn't help it.

''Okay, you too. I'm gonna go and upload some serious news to the LadyBlog! This is going to be the busiest it's been in a long, long time!' Alya jumped up and down again.

''See ya, Alya.'' Marinette and Cat Noir waved. They looked at each other again, neither knowing what to say. 'Well this is awkward.'

''So, u-um do you wanna r-ride home?''Cat Noir questioned unsure of the answer. ''I mean, I just want to make sure you get home safe, after all, there is going to be a lot of reporters and interviewers dying to meet the girl under the mask.''

''Thanks, cat, I would love to.'' And with that, he scooped her up bridal style and started jumping across buildings, she giggled uncontrollably. The smiles on both of their faces could've easily competed with a Cheshire cat. She clung onto his neck for dear life, she knew he wouldn't drop her but it felt right in the current state.

They eventually landed onto her balcony smiles wide and bright, the sun setting in the not-so far distance. Cat Noir let his un-masked partner down gently and they stared out into the distance, enjoying the last few minutes they had together.

''I'm glad it was you, princess.'' The cat-boy said, breaking the silence, still staring into the distance. She sighed and spoke her mind.

''I know I'm not who you expected though.''

''W-what? Why would you say that?''

''U-under the mask, I'm nothing like Ladybug; I'm clumsy, forgetful, unpunctual. I'm sure your disappointed, really-'' He cut her off.

''I'm gonna stop you right there, princess. Your just as amazing under the mask, no matter what the barrier between the two sides of you is, Ladybug still runs through you. Nothing can change that.'' Marinette didn't know what to say, that was honestly something Tikki would find hard to beat, it was short but effective. She'd never heard him be so thoughtful, she was surprised he didn't just make up some stupid pun.

''T-thanks, Cat.'' The moment was perfect and they never wanted it to end but, alas, fate had other plans... again. Beep beep. The two groaned in disappointment but they knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Cat Noir stood up and hopped onto the railing.

''I'll see you around, Princess.''

''You too, Chaton.'' He jumped into the horizon using his stick to guide him and Marinette stood completely bewildered. 'What now?' She thought, yawning and stretched knowing she'd have to deal with it tomorrow.

Hope y'all enjoyed this chapter, lemme know what ya think! Okay, 'till next time x
