I own nothing not even this computer. Please remember to read and review. It gives me a reason to write this stuff. Sorry that it has been such a long time since I last updated I have been very busy. Please read and review one more time I am hoping to finish this story soon and start on something different. Sorry if this is a little garbled just want to get it out there as soon as I possibly can.
Silver Saxophonist was looking through the window of a fancy restaurant, if there was one place where romance was a foregone conclusion than it would be here, and he wanted to just admire some romance before going out and creating some himself. He was like cupid, he enjoyed creating romance but sometimes it was just enough to watch it unfold.
"I did not give you these powers to watch people. Start your chaos! Draw out Ladybug and Chat Noir!" Hawkmoth shouted in his head, he fully intended to comply, but just not yet. He liked watching the people go about their little things, it was very relaxing for him.
Especially the younger ones, children falling in love...a lifetime of love...what else could a person ever really want? He was currently watching a girl and a boy on a date, she had hair that shimmered like gold and he had hair that looked as if it were lava exploding out of the earth, it really complimented the two of them. They really complimented each other, you normally didn't find soul mates so young.
They were laughing now at something that one of them had said, now they were leaning forward, their noses almost touching the menus that were acting as barriers between them.
They didn't even have to see how beautiful the other was in order to be happy. Now that was rare!
The waiter was coming over, said something to them and with a flourish removed the menus. The two children seemed to jump back. And that was when Silver Saxophone knew something wasn't right. They were yelling. And fighting, good couples shouldn't fight. And good couples really shouldn't hit each other. But that was exactly what the girl had done. She had hit him. Right in the face. Twice.
Silver Saxophone felt the anger coil through his body. How dare she. How dare she! Hitting someone, on a night like tonight when there was romance not just in the air but in everyones hearts. She deserved to be punished, her very heart torn asunder but loves natural enemy. Fear. Many thought it would be hate, but hate was just a transition point from love, a reduced sense of it. Fear was something so much worse, because you could reason hate.
Silver Saxophonists strutted across the sidewalk and into the restaurant going directly for the dining room, completely ignoring the hostess who looked on in helpless fear at the super villain who had just entered the establishment.
He entered and placed his magical saxophone to his lips and let out the first few notes that came to mind.
Adrien was almost to Chloe, she was near the door furiously talking into her phone, probably for a limo to come and pick her up and spirit her back home so that she wouldn't have to deal with the rest of the horrible night. If Adrien knew Chloe and he did, she would probably demand to stop at a sushi place and than a chocolate place before being dropped off at a spa or something to wash away all of her anger. She was a bit predictable that way.
He was right behind her and placed a hand out to touch her when he froze and retracted it. He had just gotten an eyeful of the guy that entered the restaurant, and if that guy wasn't a super villain than he wasn't Chat Noir.
Okay admittedly he wasn't at the moment but once he got to the bathroom that was all going to change. He could support his friend later, first he had to stop this guy from doing...whatever nefarious thing a silver statue looking guy with a saxophone was going to do.
Adrien quickly back peddled away from Chloe to the back wall and from there quickly slipped into the mens room. He dropped to his hands and knees and quickly looked underneath the stall doors for any shoes or people. He felt like a bit of a creep but better a creep than a caught super hero.
"Okay coast is clear." He said and opened up his jacket to let Plagg fly out.
"Ugh again?" The small cheese smelling Kwami said agitated.
"Yes again. Plagg Claws out!" Adrien said exposing his ring. Plagg groaned in annoyance as he was sucked into the ring and began Adrien's transformation into Chat Noir, giving him the suit and all of the powers that came with it.
Adrien smiled at the soft feeling that rubbed across his body, it felt as if he were being licked by a thousand cats tongues. A little scratchy but enjoyable. He did his signature pose when he caught a look of himself in the mirror. Dang he looked good!
"Now to turn this street musician...I need to think of a few puns for this...why aren't any coming?" Adrien muttered to himself as he exited the bathroom.
Nathaniel was almost to the kitchen door, there was only the front door and since Chloe had been the one headed for that he had gone in the opposite direction, in this case the kitchen door which should lead to a backdoor which should lead to a back alley that he could probably slip through and get home that way. Marinette had almost caught up to him, she was rehearsing what she should say.
"Hey Nathaniel sorry for setting you up with a she demon..."
"Hey Nathaniel sorry about the scratches..."
"Hey Nathaniel at least look on the bright side, you weren't injected with an adrenaline shot!"
She refused to let that one go, it was insane. This entire situation was insane! And now she had no way to apologize to the poor kid without making it a thousand times more embarrassing for everyone involved.
Nathaniel was by the kitchen door when he stopped and turned to look back into the room. Marinette heard the first few notes and also turned. She stiffened and realized that comforting Nathaniel would have to wait. There was an Akuma victim present. He was a very strange looking one, covered in silver and carrying a saxophone. His eyes were scanning the place as if he were looking for a specific victim.
Marinette quickly pushed past Nathaniel ignoring his confused grunt and rushed into the kitchen. It was luckily empty, she ducked behind a counter and opened up her purse.
"Looks like we have to step in Tikki." She whispered into it. Tikki smiled encouragingly upwards at her chosen and nodded.
"Tikki spots on!" Marinette smiled blissfully as she felt the tiny feet of a trillion little ladybugs crawl over her and change her from boring old regular Marinette into the powerful and formidable Ladybug!
She grinned at herself in the polished surface of a freezer door before turning and sprinting into the main dining room.
Silver Saxophone looked around the entire restaurant, he had to find the girl, she deserved to be punished for what she had done to that poor boy, slapping a person was one thing but breaking a heart...which was obviously what happened...that was something that the romantic in him could not allow.
"Uh sir?" A waiter approached nervously. "We are rather booked this evening and I do not know if it would be appropriate for you to simply turn up out of the blue and just-" He paused and took in the mans appearance before his roving eyes landed on the silver saxophone held in his gloved hands. "OH! Are you a performer, I am sorry but our band is already here and-"
He was cut off as Silver Saxophone played a single note and sent him blasting across the room to land into the back wall with a groan. The restaurant was quiet for a moment before everyone broke out into chaos, shouting and running and screaming. He smiled, he could deal with this, all he had to do was control everyone with a few simple notes.
He played a few notes and out of thin air the musical notes appeared and shaped themselves into a second ghostly saxophone. He grasped it in his other hand and brought both to his lips. He played a few notes breathing deeply through his nose. Everyone in the restaurant was suddenly calm. Their eyes which moments ago had been wide with fear were now wide with a new emotion.
Love. He was giving them the feeling of love with his two saxophones, for maximum power. The notes travelled through the entire restaurant, it would only work if you heard the first few notes he could simply feel it in his bones. This was probably how the other people who had come into contact with Hawk Moth learned their powers. They simply felt something, tried it and then it happened. It was utterly intoxicating.
The notes flew through the restaurant and landed on the panicking peoples ears they stopped their panicking and slowly turned to people closest to them. Some began to dance, others hugged, still others even began to exchange little kisses. A few people seemed to be attempting to resist him, they held their ears over their hands or ran away. He had not gotten one hundred percent of the people but it was close. He grinned around the mouth piece, he had gotten a good amount of them at least.
Ladybug came running out of the kitchen just as he had begun to play, the man played an alluring siren song, it came in one enormous wave and she felt it wash over her. She got hit, hard. It wasn't unpleasant, in fact it was similar to the ladybug transformation, slightly gratifying.
She felt as if her entire vision had turned pink. She gazed around the room and smiled. People were dancing, they were kissing, they were happy. She smiled contently to herself. She wanted in on some of this. Just as that feeling passed through her mind she saw a certain black cat come out of the bathroom with his baton raised ready for a fight. He paused and looked around confused, something wasn't adding up. Ladybug didn't care.
Chat Noir paused, he had just run out of the bathroom after transforming, what he had expected was villain doing some of the Guitar Villain stuff, throwing things, yelling, giant blasts of music...they typical. Instead he got a bunch of folks with weird looks on their faces dancing. Mind control, he of all people recognized it.
"OOOOHHHHH CHHHHATTTTTT!" He recognized that voice anywhere, but the inflection of it. The strangeness of it...
"Ladybug?" He asked confused as she slowly and seductively walked towards him. Her hips almost hypnotizing him. He looked into her eyes as she got closer, they seemed pink...almost entirely pink...she touched the little bell that hung on his neck and stood up on tiptoe to whisper in his ear.
"I was hoping you would show up." He shuddered before scooting backwards quickly.
"My lady, I have always wanted to see this side of you but not like this...I know that you would never normally act like this...so how about we just-" He squeaked when she wrapped her arms around him and squeezed him close.
"Stop talking, lets dance the night away my love!" Adrien felt uncomfortable, uncomfortable that she was being so forward (That was his job!) Uncomfortable that she was being controlled...and uncomfortable when she pinched his butt.
"OKAY! That's enough!" He said as he quickly untangled himself from her. "I think that what you need to do is calm down and really think this through my lady, after all what sort of...why are you looking at me like that?" He asked. Her eyes had narrowed and her lowlier lips was sticking out so far that she was scowling. She reminded him of a Tsundere character that he had read in a manga just last week...and if she was anything like that character...
Chat Noir began to back up. Ladybug took out her yoyo and allowed it to uncoil. Menancingly. Chat Noir turned tail and sprinted five steps before he was wrapped in it. He gasped as all of the air escaped his lungs and she pulled him back down.
"You're not going anywhere my love!" She shouted gleefully and licked her lips.
Silver Saxophone grinned from where he was standing and serenading the restaurant. Everything was going so so so so so well!
"Uh excuse me!" A conceited voice snapped from beside him. He turned and looked. Standing beside him was an angry looking girl with blonde hair. He recognized her immediately, she had slapped that poor boy! Her eyes looked like frozen chips of the sky.
"You are in my way!" She growled out. Silver Saxophone kept one hand doing his typical music, making the couples dance and love and act as they were supposed to in the most romantic city in the world, his other hand changed the tune of his sax so that it made a darker melody.
Forming in the air between them was a cloud, that cloud slowly took shape, it grew legs, antennae and a hard shell. Chloe Bourgeois stared in horror and slowly backed away. Little squeals of fear coming from behind her lips. She could not look away, but the three clouds forming in front of her were the scariest things she had ever seen. She hated them. And now they were the size of the room and had despicable glowing eyes.
Cockroaches. Vermin the size of her ego. And they were slowly coming to get her while the heroes of Paris did nothing.
Nathaniel watched from where he was hidden behind the enormous floor to ceiling curtain. His art bag clutched tightly in his hands, his knuckles white and teeth chattering. He was not a brave person, normally whenever something went poorly he would just run away. He would escape from anything and everything that might do him harm. It had normally gotten him away from these super hero super villain shenanigans.
So why could he run away then? Why was he just standing there and watching? Why did he feel as frozen as Chloe looked?
She was just standing there, the enormous roaches surrounding her. Sure they were pretty weird and unnatural...but why wasn't she doing what she normally did whenever she was in danger? Scream? Shout? Call the guy who could destroy her awful names? Mock him...or Ladybug or someone or something?
Vermin. He remembered she was terrified of vermin. Being surrounded and intimidated by ghost cockroaches the size of cars must have been driving her absolutely wild.
All she could do was stand and shiver with her hands clasped to her chest and her eyes wide and wet.
Ladybug was just molesting Chat Noir by the look of things, she had him wrapped up in her yoyo and he was yowling and thrashing trying to get out, while she just looked at him with wide love sick eyes. The heroes were no help, and the akuma victim this time seemed to be distracted by everything and everyone, as if he had bitten off more than he could possibly chew and was only realizing he was choking now.
Someone had to do something...someone...anyone...
Then Nathaniel found himself running across the floor, his bag held over his head and waving it violently around him. Screaming, no sound just a long wordless yell like a viking. His bag at the very end of its strap and him at the very end of his rope. Chloe looked on in shock as he rushed one of the apparitions and collided with it. A puff of silver smoke and it was gone.
His bag went flying through the air, before coming open in midair and all of his pencils, pens, sketch papers and paints flew out and landed all around them.
He grabbed Chloe by the hand and with a yank pulled her after him as he kept on running. He had no idea where he just needed to run.
Chat Noir glanced up and noticed a tube fly through the air, a tube of neon orange paint to be precise. Squirming he finally got his baton out from behind his back, he turned one end over and aimed just right. He extended it and it slapped the tube out of the air. It tumbled end over end before finally slapping against the wall next to Silver Saxophone, the top popped off and the paint came out in one enormous blast directly into the artists face.
He blew out one great breath of air and then began to scrub at his face, his saxophone fell to the floor. His fake saxophone he had created also disappearing. Ladybug blinked hollowly before she yelped and pulled her yoyo off of Chat Noir. She smiled sheepishly. And Chat Noir merely returned it
"Glad to have you back my lady." He said as she helped him to his feet. He turned to the villain and grinned savagely. "Now I'm going to show this guy a few new tunes!"
Silver Saxophone turned to where the redheaded boy was pulling the blonde brat. He scooped up his saxophone and played a single deep note. The two stopped running and clutched at their ears gasping in pain. Suddenly a string seemed to appeared from nowhere wrap around the two of them and pull them out of his blast of noise.
Silver Saxophone turned to see where they were going when eh was hit by a baton to the head. He stumbled backwards before turning and glowering at the free superhero. The people were free and finding shelter behind overturned tables and empty booths. Chat Noir grinned as Ladybug ushered Chloe and Nathaniel away from this madness and to safety.
"Wait in here. You'll be safe." Ladybug said as she ushered Nathaniel and Chloe into the freezer before slamming the door behind her. Never once realizing that there was only a handle on her side and not theirs. Effectively trapping the two inside of the freezer.
"Okay, back to the bad guy who is terrorizing your friends and made you act all love-y dove-y around Chat Noir."
She stopped right before exiting the kitchen, they had to end this, quickly.
"Lucky Charm!" She shouted and flung her yoyo upwards. Ladybug appeared, magically changed reality, and suddenly an enormous cork fell from the sky. It was huge, easily the size of both her fists, it was rubber and rather cumbersome. Ladybug held it for a moment and studied it. She then grinned triumphantly.
"Oh this is just too easy."
She exited the kitchen and ran around the perimeter between Chat Noir and The saxophone player.
"CHAT! Distract him!" She shouted. He threw her a thumbs up before he went back to attacking the man. The man took a deep breath and glared at the attacking superhero. He had the music blasting around him, a baton nearly hitting him in the face and a strange butterfly man yelling in his head about seizing the ring that the guy wore. He just had a headache and was starting to question if he should have even done this.
He took a deep breath to pause and try to get a massive note out. Suddenly there was a small hand on his shoulder, someone was flipping over him and slamming something into the mouth of his saxophone. He blew into his mouth piece with all of his might and-nothing happened. It was sealed shut.
Ladybug smiled at him cheekily before ducking as Chat Noir lunged with his outstretched palm, it had little black bubbles surrounding it. He grinned as he slapped the saxophone and it began to disintegrate. Silver Saxophone dropped it as it eroded in his hands. Ladybug smiled and unwound her yoyo again.
"No more evil doing for you little akuma. Time to Deevilize!" She swung her yoyo around and snatched the bug out of mid air as it attempted to scamper off back to it's master.
"Gotcha. bye bye little butterfly." She said sweetly as if fluttered off, uncontaminated and now a simple little white butterfly. "Miraculous! LADYBUG!" She shouted flinging the enormous cork to the ceiling. Within seconds the damage had been undone. Everyone was shaking their heads and looking around as if they had no idea what had happened.
"Catch you around?" Chat Noir said pointing finger guns at her.
"Not if I catch you first." She responded extending her fist, he gave it a quick tap before scampering off. She looked down at the sax player, he had a downtrodden look on his face. she paused and took a deep breath.
"You know. "She squatted down beside him "Not everyday is going to be romantic, and not every couple will be either. Sometimes it best not to force things. Allow them to happen naturally. If a couple doesn't work out then they just don't. ITs sad but its a fact of life." She handed him the instrument. She had been guessing but by the way that he nodded in understanding she was pretty sure that she had managed to get through to him.
"What the heck happened?" Alya said in confusion. She was sitting in Nino's lap. With his hat on. And from the look on his flushed face she doubted that he remembered either. The rest of the table weren't faring any better. Kim had his arms around Max and Alix's shoulders, and it seemed as if he had no idea how that had happened either.
Sabrina looked up from underneath the table nervously.
"IS he gone? Is it safe to come out? Is Chat Noir and Ladybug still here?"
"WAIT! LADYBUG WAS HERE!" Alya shouted before shooting underneath the table to sit beside Sabrina. "WHAT HAPPENED?!"
"Some guy with a saxophone came in, started to play a song and everyone started to make out. You guys included. I simply covered my ears. Than ladybug and chat noir showed up. Some thing happened, some other things happened and now everything is back to normal."
Alya groaned and covered her eyes. Of all of the people she had to get this information from it had to come from the one person who couldn't describe anything!
"What is happening?" Marinette asked poking her head underneath the table. Alya crawled out from underneath it pouting.
"Apparently we were all mind controlled. Again. And Ladybug and Chat Noir showed up and saved everyone. Again. And I once again am without a story because I was sitting in that losers lap!"
"Hey." Nino said insulted. She merely waved him off.
"Not meaning to be rude just frustrated."
"I was mind controlled too you know." Nino pouted crossing his arms before retrieving his hat and putting it back she had not messed with the size.
"Why is it that wherever we go with you two lately we end up mind controlled?" Kim said looking at Adrien and Marinette, Adrien had just walked up and merely shrugged.
"From my viewpoint its whenever we are with you three."
"Impossible. We don't do anything." Alix responded. Alya and Nino exchanged very very frustrated looks.
The Gorilla looked in confusion at the woman that he had just been dancing around a few seconds ago. The two exchanged uncomfortable looks before he gently removed his oversized hands from her and took a few steps back.
"MOOOOOMMMMMM!" Mannon squealed up from where her mother was holding her up. "Can we go home now?"
"Uh...yes sweetheart. Erm Goodnight." She said, he only nodded before retreating back to the silver limo and sitting in the front seat adjusting it to make himself he had to guess something crazy happened and everyone would need a ride home very shortly.
I own nothing not even this computer. Please remember to read and review as it gives me something to do with my spare time.
