"What do you mean capture Chloe!?"
"She's ladybug's best friend, if anyone can lead us to Ladybug, it's Chloe."
"What about Kagami and Marinette?"
"Kagami's weak and Marinette won't interfere. Trust me."
"Well okay, but if we get caught, don't blame me."
"Whatever."
Marinette hung out with Chloe and Kagami for the rest of the day, even dragging Luka along them. Obviously, he heard the lies from ("yjiouyjkouy" – a message from a friend) his sister, but didn't believe her.
"Nice hanging out with you guys, but I gotta go! I promised I'd help my parents in the bakery," Marinette said, before starting to walk off.
"You think your parents would mind us helping?" Luka asked.
"Not at all," Marinette smiled.
"Love triangle," Kagami thought. "I'm coming too!"
"I can't. My dad wants me home," Chloe said, Marinette with a disappointed look on her face.
"Aww that's okay!" Marinette said, before grabbing Luka and Kagami's hand, and dragging them to her bakery.
Marinette giggled a little before throwing them inside the bakery.
"Ow! Marinette!" Kagami tried to scream but ended up laughing.
"Ahh, Marinette, your back!" Sabine exclaimed, as she entered the bakery from the living room.
"And I brought some help," Marinette smiled.
"Welcome back Kagami! And, oh, who's this?" Sabine asked, looking at Luka.
"I'm Luka, Juleka's sister," Luka introduced himself.
"He doesn't believe the liar's lies," Marinette reassured, seeing her mum's expression.
"Well then, let's get to work!"
With Lila…
"What do you mean capture Chloe!?" Alex shouted, surprised by Lila's demand.
"She's ladybug's best friend, if anyone can lead us to Ladybug, it's Chloe." Lila explained, giving Alex a "duh" look. He replied with a concerned look.
"What about Kagami and Marinette?" Alex questioned.
"Kagami's weak and Marinette won't interfere. Trust me." Lila replied, with a smug look on her face. Alex hesitated, and seeing his reaction, Lila waved the money in front of his eyes. He sighed.
"I need that money, no one wants to hire me with my criminal record," Alex thought. "Well okay, but if we get caught, don't blame me."
"Whatever." Lila muttered, before walking out of the alley. "Text me when you got her."
Lila didn't brother listening to his respond, but she couldn't believe she had to go this far just to impress her crush. She was literally paying thousands of dollars for people to like her. Distracted by her thoughts, she didn't realise she was muttering words like "capturing", "Chloe", "popularity" and "money". She didn't even realise Marinette passed by her, and heard her mutter "capturing Chloe". Marinette eyes widen, stopping in her tracks. She watched as Lila continued to mutter things and walk off.
"Capturing Chloe?" She thought, gripping onto the bottom of her purse. Before she could run after Lila, she felt a tug from her purse. With a quick glance from left to right, she opened her purse and took a peek inside of it. She saw her phone being given to her, and quickly snatched it. She entered her passcode and dialled Chloe's number. Marinette raised the phone to her ear, and tapped her foot impatiently.
"Straight to voicemail," Marinette announced. She dialled in Luci's number.
"Hello?" Luci's voice was heard through the phone.
"Hey Luci, do you happen to know where Alex is at?" Marinette asked, Tikki closing the gap in her purse.
"I heard he's our doing his work. Dunno how he got a job, but yeah. Why?" Luci questioned.
"Lila just walked pass me muttering 'capturing Chloe', and Chloe's not answering her phone. I'm sure Alex knows something," Marinette explained.
"Smart. I think Lila paid Alex to capture Chloe. Any ideas why?" Luci continued.
"Chloe is Ladybug's best friend. She needs Ladybug. Do you need me to connect the dots?" Marinette asked, rolling her eyes.
"But your Ladybug, and no I don't," Luci replied.
"I know, but does Lila know that? She needs Ladybug to prove some people that she is her best friend," Marinette explained.
"So what are you going to do?" Luci asked.
"Well for sure, I'm going into rescue Chloe. As Marinette. Do you have anything I could use?" Marinette smirked.
"I definitely do. When are you coming?" Luci asked.
"If I'm not there in 15, that means Chloe's fine," Marinette replied.
"Aight, cya," Luci answered.
"Bye," Marinette ended the call. Before she could dial Chloe's number, her phone started ringing. The number was unknown, but the background was red instead of black. This was because she was getting a call from the bug phone. Marinette sprinted to the alleys. "Tikki, spots on!"
And with a flash, Marinette disappeared and Ladybug appeared. The phone continued to ring, only this time she clicked the middle button and an ear piece fell out, to which she put into her ear. She then opened her yo-yo, and answered the call.
"Ah, Ladybug, you finally answered. Listen closely, I've captured your best friend, Chloe Bourgerious. If you don't come alone to the alley way, I won't be afraid to open fire on her," the voice, which is easily recognised as Lila's voice, threatened.
"Oh I know Lila, cya there." Ladybug replied, before ending the call and forcing the earpiece in it's place. She sighed and swung the yo-yo, allowing the yo-yo to wrap around a pole and she swung away. Minutes later, she landed in the alleyway close to Luci's house.
"Spots off," Ladybug whispered, and she disappeared, getting replaced with Marinette. She walked out of the alleyway, and started to walk towards Luci house. "It's getting dark," Marinette thought, as she knocked on the door. The door opened, and Cameron looked surprised, quickly letting Marinette in.
"What are you doing here?" Cameron asked, closing the door.
"I've come to collect some stuff. Luci would know," Marinette replied, looking around. For as long as she could remember, she lived in a cosy apartment, she had never lived in a house that was, well a house. Even now, she lives on top of her parent's bakery.
"Yep, I've got them all here. I put Emily's water gun, because it looks, sounds and acts like a real gun so just in case. And no matter what you say, I'm coming with you. I'm made that mistake over 10 years ago," Luci explained, throwing the things at her like a tiny headset and a mask. She put on her mask and the headset, stuffed the water gun in her pocket. She took of her black jacket, and through on the black hoodie, followed by the hood. Luci threw black pants towards her, and turned around. Cameron saw this, and turned around too, allowing Marinette to quickly change.
"You can turn around," she took her purse off, which was under her hoodie, and placed it next to her jacket and pants. She took out her phone, placed it on silent and shoved it into her pants pocket. She allowed Tikki to fly out.
"Hide in my hood," Marinette instructed. Tikki flew into her hood obediently, Marinette cracking her fingers. A knock on the door could be heard, and as Cameron opened the door, three dark figures walked in.
"Finally," Luci said, as the figures took of their hoods, and pulled down their masks.
"Sorry we took so long, we had to pick up a certain someone," Daniel signalled to Kagami.
"Is Cameron coming?" Emily asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, I'm not," Cameron replied.
"Alright, let's go. Who knows what they are doing right now," Marinette announced, opening the door and walking out. The rest quickly followed, and Cameron closed the door.
"Stay safe," he shouted.
At the alleyway…
"Any minute now," Lila thought, pacing around an unconscious Chloe. Alex was humming at tune under his breath, leaning against the wall. Felix was throwing his phone up and catching it.
Luci, Daniel, Emily and Kagami were hiding behind the wall, while Marinette was on top of the building spying down.
Chloe slowly regained consciousness, and quickly realised what position she's in. She tried screaming, forcing herself out of the chair but her screams were blocked out with the masking tape around her mouth.
"She's up," Marinette whispered.
"Finally, your up. Now just shut your mouth and wait for Ladybug to arrive," Lila told Chloe, who relaxes in her chair.
"If I know anything about Marinette, it's she always has a plan up her sleeve," Chloe thought.
"Everyone ready?" Luci asked, as she watched Emily get into position.
"Yes," everyone whispered, and a gunshot was heard.
Alex, Felix and Lila jump, Alex pulling out his gun, pointing left to right. Marinette pulled the trigger again, this time aiming it at Alex. As it hit is head, he felt water on top of his head. He instantly looked up, and Marinette waved.
"Luci's here," Alex announced, making Felix pull out his gun.
"Come out!" Felix shouted.
"Aww you got me," Kagami walks out, with her hands in the air. Chloe looks surprised, but Kagami smirked.
"Huh, I expected Marinette, not you," Lila spoke, kind of laughing. Alex and Felix joined in, and Marinette gave he signal. Suddenly, screams were heard, and Alex and Felix were both on the ground, with Daniel and Emily holding them down. "What!?" Lila turned around to see her henchmen down. Luci shoots her water gun at Lila, grabbing she attention. She walks straight into the alley.
"What the *enter swear word*!?" Lila shouted, getting shot again with water. Finally, Marinette jumps down, landing with a bang.
"What up *enter swear word*! You really think I'd let Ladybug handle this? Well your so wrong," Marinette announced, walking towards Chloe.
"Hey stop!" Lila shouted, but got shot with water again.
"The more you talk, the more wet you'll become," Luci explained, pointing the gun at her.
"Don't you think that's childish of you to use a water gun?" Lila asked, as Marinette untied Chloe, and put her on her feet.
"Safety, Rossi. Do you want me to point a real gun in your face and actually shoot you?" Luci replied. Lila remained silent. "Thought so."
"Now Lila, need I remind you of what I said not too long ago?" Marinette asked, walking away from Chloe and directly in front of Lila, allowing Luci to put her water gun away. "Don't. Touch. My. Friends!"
Within a second, Marinette had Lila begging for her to stop. Luci rolled her eyes, and her red eyes started glowing, giving a little light for everyone to see. Marinette's eyes started to glow blue, also giving off some light, and she started slowly letting down Lila against her will.
"You don't want a criminal record, right Marinette?" Luci asked, their eyes going back to normal.
"What just happened?" Marinette asked, confused. Lila, who was breathing heavily, crawled away quickly, in fear.
"Just a little magic," Emily replied, getting off Felix with his gun in her hand, twirling it around. Daniel took Alex's gun and walked off him, allowing him to get up. Luci turned to Kagami and Chloe, who was processing everything that happened.
"If she ever gets out of control, call me," Luci told them. Kagami nodded. As they continued to talk, Alex, Felix and Lila escaped. Marinette rolled her eyes as she saw Lila crawling away, and walked up to Emily, handing her the water gun.
"Keep it. It seems like your going to need it a lot more then I will ever," Emily smiled, pushing the water gun back to Marinette. Marinette smiled back, and they all walked out of the alley.
"Can someone come with me back to my house? I don't feel safe going by myself," Chloe asked, looking away. The adults looked at each other, and Emily started to walk towards Chloe.
"I'll go with you, Daniel, go with Kagami and Luci, you can go with Marinette," Emily replied, Daniel nodded and Luci smiled. They both went there separate ways, Marinette putting her new water gun in her pocket.
"You can come back to my house to grab your stuff, then I'll drop you off with my car," Luci added.
"Can I ask you something?" Marinette asked, after nodding. Luci nodded. "Did you ever get in trouble with the police?"
"Not really. Daniel had this thing set up with the police so that they knew when they saw someone from my old gang with a gun, that it was a water gun. He even gave them a water gun similar to Emily," Luci explained. "Since all of us conveniently moved to Paris, Daniel must still have the paper somewhere."
The walk to Luci's house wasn't too far away, like a minute, so by the time they reached her house, Luci had already finished explaining. Luci knocked on the door, and seconds later, Cameron opened it, and let them both inside.
"Finished?" Cameron asked.
"Yep, I'm just going to drop off Marinette," Luci replied, grabbing the car keys.
"Okay, but if you want to stay the night Marinette, we have a guest room," Cameron added, turning on the TV.
"It's okay, I don't want to be a bother. Plus, I have school tomorrow and I don't think my parents will let me stay over at your house," Marinette explained, grabbing her stuff.
"Cya then!" Cameron shouted as they left.
"Your husband's nice," Marinette told Luci. They both entered the car, and she started it up.
"Yep. I can't believe we've been together since high school," Luci smiled, her face starting to become red.
"Wow, that long?" Marinette gasped.
"The last term of the first year. Do you want to know how he asked me out?" Luci asked, kind of daydreaming but at the same time driving. Marinette nodded. "Well… I was wearing his hoodie to school and as I turn around and see him, I smile and wave. Then I realise why he's just standing there, and my starts to burn up, but I don't take the hoodie off, instead I snuggle into it a bit more," Luci started, her face becoming more red by the second. "One of our old classmate walked past, and stared at me. She then gasps, and sequels a little bit. She asks me if I'm dating Cameron, and I sink into his hoodie a little more. He laughs a little, while walking up to me, and flicks off the hood. I look up at him, and he smiled. Then he kisses me on the forehead, and as he started to walk away, I pull me back and kiss him on the lips," Luci continued.
"Was that your first kiss?" Marinette asked. Luci looks a bit down, and doesn't answer for a little bit.
"No…but I wish it was!" Luci smiles again.
"What's wrong?" Marinette asked, with a determined look on her face.
"My first kiss was with Alex. He forced me into a kiss just before I moved. We were like 4 at the time," Luci explained. "He said it was a goodbye gift but it got me confused and caused unnecessary drama between me and my bro. It's one of the reasons we fell apart."
"Oh I'm sorry about that," Marinette replied, sinking back into her seat.
"It's alright. Well after that, the girl screams and a bunch of other people to do. He asked me to be his girlfriend, and obviously I replied yes. We kissed again and my brother interrupted," Luci continued.
"What did he do?" Marinette questioned, intrigued.
"He said, well well well, what would mum think if I told her you got a boyfriend? To which I replied, well well well, what would you think if I didn't care?" Luci replied, earning a reaction from Marinette, making her laugh. "After that, the gang turned up and that's when the whole school found out about my gang and Alex's gang," Luci finished.
"That's too bad. I'm sorry your brother ruined that," Marinette apologised.
"It's fine, I just wished he was more supportive like I was when I found out about his relationship with Alex."
The ride was silent after that, both of them thinking.
"When will I get a boyfriend like him?" Marinette asked, staring out the window. Luci, on the other hand was reliving the moment.
"So your the infamous Felix?" Daniel asked, as he stepped next to Olivia.
"Wow, we've heard so much about you," Emily continues, and she stands next to Star.
"We've also been told your dating Alex," Jessica pops in with Robbie.
"Drives Luci crazy too," Luki adds.
"Crazy is an understatement," James steps out. I roll my eyes.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.
"Who are these people?" Felix asks. Jessica goes to open her mouth, when all, and when I say all, I mean my gang and my friends, tell her to shut up.
"None of your *enter swear word* business," I sneer.
"We are here!" Luci announced. Marinette thanked Luci, before closing the door and leaving. She knocked on the bakery door, and was instantly let in by her parents. Luci saw as they hugged her, clearly terrified by the time she got home. She talked a little bit before pointing at Luci, who waved. Luci started up the engine again, and zoomed away.
"Next time, I want to meet this Luci," Tom announced. Marinette just shrugged.
"Sure," Marinette replied, Tom a little surprised by her reaction. She said goodnight, and went upstairs, Sabine following her.
"Usually, kids don't want 'bad influences' to be seen in front of parents. Marinette changed after getting akumatized. Could this Luci possibly not be the reason? What am I missing?" Tom thought, before turning off the light and going upstairs.
Bug out bug heads, I'm done writing for the day!
