Told you I'd update today..I keep my promises!

I wanted to say one thing before you read the chapter. I realized that people are having trouble reviewing because it says you've already reviewed for that chapter, and that's because I replaced the author note with the previous chapter. So if you have been reveiwing for all my author notes it won't let you review. I'm so sorry about that, I didn't know and I don't know how to fix it.

If you wanted to leave a review there are other options: You could private message your review to me. Or you could log off and post the review as a guest, making your username your account name so I know who you are. By the way, guests shouldn't have any trouble posting reviews, only for people with accounts. Or if you would rather avoid all that trouble and not post a review that's totally fine too lol.

Anyways, sorry about the confusion. Again, thanks to all my loyal readers for waiting 2 weeks and thanks for the reviews! :)

XxBugaCatxX: Glad you liked it! :)

JEDLILY: We're happy you think so!

Tkowala: Pretty sure that was supposed to be a happy sound XD

The Nexus Warrior: Thanks! Yeah, I did, pretty sure it's going to air at the beginning of 2021 or something. Wayzz world is a good channel, yeah! Gloob is reliable as well.

unicorn404: Hope you're alive enough to read this chapter, lol! Aw sorry to make you cry, but we're glad you laughed. :) Oh yeah sorry about that glitch..I addressed that in the author note btw.

Maryjane: Aaaa, me too! Thanks! :)

HopeGiver07: Thanks, that's so kind! I know, sorry about that..I mentioned it above.

Justin: Thanks! That seems like a good idea, except for one thing-we don't exactly know how this is going to proceed after watching the whole show, especially because we don't know what season 4 would bring. So if it ends up having too many mistakes then that would look bad..also we don't want to give out any spoilers about ideas we have if we do continue after. It's a good idea, and we'll keep it in mind. Maybe a future chapter, but as said, we're not sure yet. Thank you for the idea! :)

MiraculousLover2: YES! :D Yeah lol im so excited. Yup! Wow you sure sound happy..i can't blame you i was gone for a loong time. Yeah me too...poor guy right?

Enjoy! :) (Also this chapter is kinda emotional and cringy)

Chapter 31: Christmas Special part 2

"YOU RAN AWAY!?" The whole class was full of gasps and shouts.

The knot in Adrien's stomach tightened. Maybe he did run away. But it's not like he actually meant any harm to anyone.

Marinette brushed his cheek. "Come on, don't cry..it's okay."

Adrien blinked his watery eyes, "W-what? No. It was just dust in my eyes or something," he mumbled feverishly.

"Adrien-" Marinette gently spoke, shaking him lightly.

"Im fine." Adrien spoke firmly. "Let's just continue the episode." Marinette glanced at him, very concerned.

Scene: The streets of Paris. Cat Noir is running.

Cat Noir: It's Christmas in Paris, all is cheery and bright! But I'm all alone tonight. (Marinette and her parents are seen having a Christmas dinner.)

"You are not alone, and it's about time you realized that," Marinette said firmly.

"Also, nice singing voice, dude," Nino finger gunned.

Adrien smiled grudgingly. "Thanks…"

Families are together, with their gifts by their side. Only Cat Noir's alone tonight. (Chloé and her father are seen having a Christmas dinner.)

"Adrikins, you know you can always have dinner with me and daddykins-I mean daddy. You know that right?" Chloe looked at him with her eyebrow raised.

Adrien couldn't help but smile again. "Yeah."

There's no warmth for me, no tenderness for me.

I'm alone like a cat in the night! I'm a sad lonely kitty! Won't anyone take pity? Cat Noir is alone tonight! Cat Noir is alone tonight!

Marinette felt like crying. She had never before realized just how much hurt Adrien was holding on to on the inside until this episode, what he hid behind all that cheeriness was a very deep sadness. Marinette swallowed the lump in her throat, feeling bad that she had never been there for Adrien when he needed someone most.

Marinette threw her arms around him and hugged him as tightly as she could.

"What's this for?" asked Adrien, though intensely blushing.

"To show you that there is warmth and tenderness for you, silly," She booped his nose and smiled. "And to show you that people will take pity, because you don't deserve to be alone. Je t'aime mon chaton."

Adrien grinned. "Je t'aime aussi, ma princesse."

Suddenly, Abby appeared out of nowhere. "STOP SPEAKING FRENCH!"

Mariette smirked. "Comme tu veux, Abby!"

Abby scowled. "Ugh!" Then, she disappeared and the episode resumed.

They could hear Abby screaming at the back of the theater. "DOES ANYONE HAVE A PHONE. I NEED TO USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE!"

The entire class burst out laughing.

!Scene: Hôtel de Ville. Cat Noir is seen singing.

Cat Noir: No cares about me, if I'm lost or I'm found and I'm just a cat in the night! I'll take your symbol of joy and burn it to the ground.

Marinette had another question. One that she tried to push away but still it nagged her too much. Adrien had gotten akumatized into Chat Blanc because of something that had happened..clearly he was feeling just as hurt in this episode-he literally ran away! So why wasn't he akumatized then?

"Girl, are you alright," Alya nudged her friend.

Marinette jumped out of her thoughts. "Huh? Oh..yeah."

Cat Noir: I'm the vengeful cat of the night! I'm the vengeful cat of the night!

"There's no need to get angry," said Marinette. "Christmas is supposed to be full of joy and love. And you can find love in the most unlikely places."

Chloe pretended to be disgusted. "Great, now she's sprouting greeting card messages."

Marinettte stuck her tongue out. "Am not!"

"Are too!"

Ca-ta-cly-sm!

Adrien covered his face, bracing for the worst.

(He attempts to use his power against the Christmas tree but a vision of his mother appears.) I can't do it! I can't do it!

"Aww.."

"You're right..your mother would have wanted you to be kind," said Marinette quietly. "I'm sure she's so proud of you Adrien."

Adrien didn't know how to respond to something like that. "I-Thanks.."

"And you know that no matter who your parents are, all of us are still here for you," she reminded him.

Adrien finally laughed, this time a full, heartful laugh, much to Marinette's relief. "Thank you so much guys, I.." his voice faltered as he gazed up at Marinette. "I really mean it."

At that moment, the word family blossomed a different meaning in his mind.

(He uses his power against an Adrien advertisement and it collapses.) I'm cold and alone, I don't want to be in pain.

"You really don't deserve to be in that much pain!" Rose said sadly.

Cat Noir: All that anger was all in vain….I need to go back home to try and find a way. Tomorrow will be a brand new day. Let's go home now. Plagg, claws in. (Cat Noir transforms back into Adrien.)

Marinette still couldn't bear to see him so sad. It just..wasn't right. Someone as sweet and caring-someone who was always willing to put themselves above others shouldn't be so unlucky..he deserved so much more than the feeling that he needed to run away from home. Sometimes she felt like she could just punch his father in the face for how he raised his son-at others she just wanted it to be over.

Adrien: Plagg? Plagg!?

Plagg: I wish that I can help you, to assist with your transformation. But I can't Adrien, don't you see? I'm tired and distressed, I have nothing to digest, I'm weak and I'm running on empty.

"And OF course Plagg sings about food," Tikki sighed.

"Sorry Plagg," said Adrien, ashamed.

"You're an idiot," Plagg smirked.

Adrien sighed. "I guess I really am an idiot.."

"Yeah. A stupidly caring sweet charming idiot," Marinette finished, blushing heavily.

Adrien: Plagg? Plagg, what have I done? Wait, I'll help you! (Adrien searches for Camembert and finds Marinette's present. He unwraps it, finding that it's a hat, and puts Plagg on it. He notices a letter signed by Marinette and reads it.) "Merry Christmas". Signed Marinette. She's so awesome!

Marinette blushed.

Alya smirked. "Admit it, you SO had a crush on her as Marinette."

We're going to fix you right up, Plagg! (puts the letter back to his shirt. bell rings) Do you hear that? It's Christmas! (he stands up and the letter falls.) Merry Christmas, Plagg.

Plagg: Merry Christmas, Adrien.

"That's the first time I hear Plagg saying anything sweet," Marinette said, amused.

Scene: Outside Adrien's room. Gabriel walks up the stairs, carrying a present. He walks into Adrien's room smiling.

Gabriel: Adrien. Adrien? (notices open window) Adrien! (Nathalie and Adrien's chauffeur walk in.) Go and find him immediately! Immediately!

"That was one..VERY dramatic reaction," said Adrien slowly. "I guess he does really care."

Nathalie: Hello? Yes, Merry Christmas.

Nino: No Ma'am, he's not at my house.

Alya: Adrien? Isn't he at home?

Kim: He's been kidnapped? No joke.

Roger: Don't worry, Sabrina. We'll find your friend wherever he is.

Sabine: Kidnapped? I'm sure there's another explanation.

"Thank you all for looking out for me," Adrien smiled at his friends.

Nino winked. "No prob, dude!"

Tom: Let's take a look around the neighborhood, just in case. The presents can wait. You wanna come, Marinette?

Marinette: I'm not feeling so great, I'll just wait here at home and if I hear anything, I'll call you right away. 'kay? Quick, we've gotta find Adrien.

"Let me guess," said Chloe. "Time to transform?"

"Yeah," Marinette laughed.

[Transformation Sequence]

Marinette: Tikki, spots on! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug.)

Scene: Streets of Paris. Adrien walks in the cold. He talks to Plagg.

Adrien: Don't worry, Plagg, I'll find you something to eat. I can't promise it'll be Camembert.

Marinette sighed. He was still only thinking of others..She felt so bad.

Santa Claus: Ho, ho, ho! No need to grab now, children. Good old Santa Claus has a gift for everyone.

Girl: These gifts are so lame, and I bet this is totally fake!

Santa: Hey! Easy on the beard.

Boy: Yeah! Totally. No way you're the real Santa Claus.

"What snobby little brats," Chloe snorted. Everyone just stared at her.

"What?" she demanded.

Marinette tried not to smile. "Look who's talking."

Chloe scowled but didn't retort.

Adrien: Hey! What's wrong with you? Even if he's not the real one, what would Santa think of your behavior?

"They're on his bad list," Marinette burst into laughter. "Adrien is probably one of the goody two shoes."

"Hey!" Adrien complained. "If I'm a goody two shoe, so are you!"

Alya laughed. "Girl, I have to agree on that." Marinette blushed.

Man: The young man's absolutely right. kids, say sorry right now.

Kids: Sorry, Santa Claus.

Santa: It's no big deal, children. Merry Christmas anyway.

"Aww what a nice Santa.."

Man: Same to you.

Adrien: I'm sorry Sir, are you okay?

Santa: Fine. Don't worry, I'm a tough old Santa. But, what are you doing out at this time of night? Are you lost? You're not exactly dressed for the cold weather. Maybe you'd like some hot chocolate, I've got some left.

"You actually got to meet Santa up close?" Rose's eyes sparkled. "So cool!"

Adrien: Yeah, I'd love some Sir, doesn't get much better than that.

"Plus Adrikins really deserves it," said Chloe.

(Plagg comes out of Adrien's Christmas hat)

Plagg: Ahem!

Adrien: Except maybe a slice of Camembert?

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Santa: Oh you're in luck! I've still got some sandwich leftover. This is some of the smelliest cheese I've ever come across. Hmm, that smells… perfect. To each it's own. So you're not lost then, I hope.

(Adrien feeds Plagg one slice of Camembert)

"How did Santa not see that?"

Adrien: It's my first Christmas without my mom, sir. And my father…

"It's alright.." said Marinette. "And also, sorry I tried to beat up the only person who understood you that night."

Adrien couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, I think I can forgive you for that!"

Santa: Doesn't know how to move on? I understand. But your dad must be wondering where you are, you know. He must be very worried about you. Now that you've gotten out of the house and cleared your thoughts a bit, don't you think it'd be a good idea to go home?

"That," said Marinette, "is one wise Santa!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Adrien: Yeah, you're right.

Santa: Atta boy, that's what Christmas is all about. Families together. I'll take you there on my sleigh.

"So sweet! And wow, you actually rode on Santa's sleigh? That is so cool!" exclaimed Nino in awe.

Adrien: C'mon, Plagg. Alright, but you put this on.

Santa: Hmm?

Adrien: The friend who gave it to me would want you to have it.

Adrien looked at Marinette sheepishly, expecting a hurt face. "I'm so sorry I gave the present you gave me."

"Are you kidding?" Marinette shook her head. He looked up to find her smiling at him, and it took him by surprise.

"You were right, I would have wanted him to have it," said Marinette, smiling. "And after everything that happened you were thinking about others. How can I even get mad over something like that?"

Adrien blinked. He hadn't expected that. "Oh..So you're not mad that I gave away all the effort you put into making the gift?"

Marinette grinned. "Of course not."

Santa: A present, for me?

Adrien: Everyone deserves a Christmas present.

"Agreed!"

Santa: Thanks a lot, son.

Scene: Outside Hôtel de Ville. Ladybug swings by and sees the damage caused by Cat Noir's Cataclysm.

Ladybug: (singing) There is only one thing this kind of damage can bring, Cat Noir's Cataclysm, am I right?

Marinette covered her face with her hands and groaned loudly. "WHY AM I SINGING?"

Adrien smirked. "You sound purr-fectly in tune, Milady."

"Ugh, shut up."

And look this gift wrap too, it's an important clue, it's from my present to Adrien tonight.

Adrien's heart did a flip. "Wait, does that mean you figured it out?"

"No way because we were both stupid idiots remember?" Marinette winked. Adrien laughed. Of course..

Adrien disappears, and Cat Noir steps in, he must be working to protect him.

"Yeah, that's right," Adrien smirked, making Marinette go pink.

My only explanation, my speculation, is that some supervillain is after Adrien.

"Your only explanation, your speculation," Chloe mimicked, making Marinette blush harder. "Is WRONG!"

It's a good thing I'm here, I'll protect him without fear, this boy that I secretly love.

"CAN WE PLEASE SKIP THIS?" Marinette yelled over all the roaring laughter.

Now with all of my might, I'll save you tonight, you're the boy that I secretly love.

Adrien couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. "Well, it's not much of a secret anymore is it?"

Marinette gritted her teeth and sunk into her seat as low as she could. "For the last time. This. Did. Not. Happen."

Alya smirked. "Did too.

If you'll never know it's true, I'll be there for you, you're the boy that I secretly love.

"That's sickeningly sweet," said Plagg, gagging.

"Nice song though..tugs at my heartstrings," Adrien winked, making Marinette groan.

But what would you do if you knew what's true, that's why I so secretly love you.

"It's such a secret, yup!"

"STOP!"

"NEVER!"

"UGH!"

Ladybug: Who could possibly have been akumatized on Christmas Eve? Footsteps.

"How about nobody?" Alya laughed.

Scene: Streets of Paris. Santa Claus is taking Adrien home in his sleigh.

Adrien: How about you, sir? Where will you be celebrating Christmas?

Santa: Me? I have all of Paris. The whole world even! Ho, ho, ho!

Adrien: All by yourself, huh? Okay, here's what we're gonna do. Take me back home and have Christmas with us! I need you to bring the Christmas spirit back into our home.

Santa: All right then. But I can't stay for too long, you do know that Santa's very busy at Christmas time.

Adrien: Thank you!

"That's nice," said Marinette. "Um, sorry I ruined it."

Scene: Outside the Agreste mansion. Adrien rings the doorbell while Santa is behind him, Gabriel answers.

Gabriel: Adrien, is that you? Who are you?

Santa: Isn't it obvious? I'm Santa Claus!

Gabriel: Really now? That would make me the Easter Bunny. You're here for money, I suppose? I'll get my bodyguard to deal with you.

"He has no sense of humor..but he does at the same time. Adrien, your dad is the easter bunny," Marinette laughed.

"I see what you mean!" Adrien exclaimed.

Adrien: No, you're wrong, father!

Ladybug: No, he's not. Your father's got the right idea. He's a supervillain under Hawk Moth's control.

"What?" the entire class exclaimed in surprise.

Marinette sighed. "I made a mistake that day."

Adrien: What?

Santa: You're all totally crazy!

Adrien: What? No, Ladybug stop! That man hasn't been akumatized!

"I should have listened to you," said Marinette, ashamed.

Adrien smiled. "It's okay, everyone makes mistakes."

Ladybug: I know when I'm looking at an akuma victim, trust me.

"Um, oh really?" Chloe said sarcastically.

Marinette hid her face in her hands. "Now i just feel embarrassed."

"Don't jump to conclusions," said Alya.

Marinette laughed at that. "Umm, yeah! Look who's talking!"

Alya laughed along. "Fine."

Santa: C'mon! (runs away on his sleigh)

Ladybug: You're safe now. Go on home.

"He was safe in the first place."

Adrien: No wait! Plagg-

Nathalie: Adrien.

Scene: Streets of Paris. Santa Claus runs away from Ladybug, but she catches up to him.

Santa: C'mon ponies, giddy up! (Ladybug wraps Santa with her yo-yo and takes him out of his sleigh, headfirst into the snow) Hey! Are you out of your mind? This hurts really bad!

"You beat up Santa Claus?" Nino asked in disbelief. "Not cool, dude."

Marinette sighed. "I know..I will never ever do something like that again and I definitely learnt a lesson from that."

"Sure hope you did," said Chloe.

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair. Hawk Moth's window opens.

Hawk Moth: Ahh. Without even knowing it, you're giving me the best Christmas gift ever, Ladybug. An innocent man wrongly accused, and the spirit of Christmas is broken! (he turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my little akuma. You have all that you need to evilize this Santa.

"I'm SO sorry," Marinette apologized, feeling ashamed.

"You don't have to be..I mean, it was a mistake but everybody makes mistakes," said Rose encouragingly

.

Scene: Agreste mansion.

Natalie: Where are you going, Adrien?

Adrien: To my room, of course, since my father isn't celebrating Christmas.

Nathalie: Of course he is Adrien. Your father came to see you earlier, but you'd gone out. I'll tell him that you're waiting for him. Just making sure you'll stay in your room this time.

"I guess I made a mistake too," Adrien sighed.

Adrien: Yeah, okay.

Scene: Streets of Paris. Ladybug realizes Santa Claus is not akumatized.

Ladybug: You… So you're not a supervillain?

Santa: Of course I'm not! I think you've been reading too many comic books, young lady.

Ladybug: I'm so sorry, um, let me help you-

Santa: No thank you! I think you've helped me enough. (he walks away and Ladybug swings away)

"Poor dude," Marinette said sympathetically. "I feel so bad."

Santa: Nobody around here respects the spirit of Christmas anymore. (the akuma enters his hat)

Hawk Moth: Well, I believe in you. Santa Claws, I am Hawk Moth. They wrongly accused you of being a supervillain, so that's what you'll get to be from now on. In exchange, since I've been good enough all year round, I'm going to ask you for two gifts. Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.

"GOOD all year round?" Marinette and Adrien said in unison in disbelief.

"Did I hear that wrong or has he just gone crazy?" Kim shook his head.

"Crazy!" Mylene confirmed.

Santa: I shall deliver. Merry Christmas, Hawk Moth!

"Have a horrible Christmas, Hawkmoth," Alya stuck her tongue out at the screen.

Santa Claws: Ladybug! (singing) You think you can get away with making fun of me? You think you can get away with accusing me? I am Santa Claws! (dabbing) I'm a rebel with a cause! I'll punish and give you a fright! Have a horrible Christmas night. (he throws her a present full of bats and flies away on his sleigh)

"Now I sound like some sort of villain," said Marinette. "And bats are disgusting."

"Agreed," Juleka murmured.

Scene: Agreste mansion. Adrien plays video games, while being watched by his chauffeur.

Adrien: Santa Claws?

Santa Claws: Not exactly! (singing) I am Santa Claws! (dabbing)

"Wait, so he's basically Santa Claus but with a dab?" Kim looked like he was trying hard not to laugh.

"Basically," said Alya, smiling.

"I feel like Hawkmoth is running out of ideas for names!" Adrien laughed.

"Totally," Chloe agreed.

I'm a rebel with a cause! I'll punish and give you a fright! Have a horrible Christmas night.

"Does he have to rhyme too?"

(throws them a present full of spiders and his chauffeur runs away)

"What is it with him and disgusting animals?" Marinette asked skeptically.

I'll do you no harm, Adrien. I'm in your debt!

You gave me a present, and that I won't forget. In fact, I will avenge you! I'll avenge us too.

Adrien: No, wait!

Santa Claws: This will be the Christmas of revenge!

"Seriously, Hawkmoth had to ruin Christmas as well," Nino said, angry.

Adrien: Plagg, claws out!

Scene: Le Grand Paris hotel. André and Chloé are going to have Christmas dinner.

André: Santa Claus has come this year, my sweet Chloé!

Chloé: Aaah!

"That's like a thousand presents!" Alya's eyes nearly bugged out.

Chloe fluffed her hair proudly. "Don't hate me because I'm rich!" Marinette snorted.

Santa Claws: Horrible Christmas, everyone! (singing) I am Santa Claws!(dabbing) I'm a rebel (Chloé: Hey! My presents!)

"That's what Chloe cares about..what else is new?"

with a cause! I'll punish and give you a fright! Have a horrible Christmas night. (Santa Claws flies away on his sleigh) Horrible Christmas, everyone!

"That sure is pleasant," said Marinette sarcastically. "Usually, people say MERRY Christmas but i guess this is Hawkmoth's way."

Ladybug: It's just the two of us, Santa Claws!

Cat Noir: The three of us, m'Lady.

"Yay!"

Ladybug: Cat Noir? Where were you? What happened to Adrien?

Cat Noir: It's a- long story. Cats have their little secrets too, y'know? (they get on Santa Claw's sleigh) Who's going to deliver presents to the children now, Santa Claws?

"How do you even have a conversation while standing on top of a sleigh in the middle of the sky?" asked Mylene, amazed.

"It's skills," Adrien winked.

"More like superpowers," Marinette corrected with a giggle.

Santa Claws: There are no more presents, no more spirit of Christmas! You should've been good. (He throws Cat Noir a present which throws him off of the flying sleigh)

"I still can't believe Santa Claws chucked me off a sleigh," Adrien laughed, recalling the moment.

"I can't believe what you yelled while you fell," Marinette snorted.

Cat Noir: (while falling) I've been good all year round!

"Seriously? You're falling

Ladybug: Not enough, apparently. (She dives down to save him) Hang on! (she ties her yo-yo to Santa Claw's sleigh)

Santa Claws: How 'bout a nice sleigh ride, my little, wretched elves! Ho, ho, ho, ho! Hold on!

Here we go! (swings across Paris with Ladybug and Chat Noir flying behind the sligh, screaming)

"That's better than any rollercoaster rides you'd ever go on," Alya laughed.

Marinette shook her head. "Are you kidding me? It was the thrill of a lifetime. And the bad kind." Adrien nodded in agreement.

Cat Noir: Don't you have to have a license to drive one of these things?

Everyone laughed.

"I love how you just yell things while flying in midair, almost dying," said Marinette, amused.

"And yeah, about the license I don't really think hawkmoth cares!" Ivan exclaimed, laughing.

Santa Claws: It's time to open your gifts, kiddies!

Ladybug: I'm gonna try to stop the sleigh. You deal with Santa Claws! (Cat Noir fight with Santa Claws. Ladybug gets on one of the reindeer) Woah, slow down! (Santa Claws falls off the sleigh, but Cat Noir catches him)

Santa Claws: Thank you. (He throws Cat Noir off the sleigh)

"How many times will you get thrown off the sleigh?" Alix burst into laughter.

"It's become a habit," Adrien joked.

Cat Noir: Woah, Ladybug!

Ladybug: Not again! (She dives down to save him and swings them into Alya's house)

"I've heard the expression cat's land pn their feet?" Marinette teased. "Apparantly, it's not true."

Adrien smirked and leaned closer. "It is so!"

Marinette laughed.

Scene: Césaire house. Ladybug and Cat Noir swing in and fall on top of each other.

"That's an unfortunate way to land..for Ladybug at least!" Alya teased, earning some laughs.

Alya: Ladybug? Cat Noir? Now that's a Christmas scoop! Anything you'd like to say for the Ladyblog?

"Not now Alya!" Nino laughed. How desperate was she?

Ladybug: Uh, it's not at all what it looks like. (Santa Claws flies by and Cat Noir is about to follow him, but Ladybug stops him) No, wait. This isn't gonna work. Lucky Charm! (Ladybug's Lucky Charm gives her a box)

Cat Noir: I hope it's not trying to tell us to move to another city.

"I sure hope not," laughed Mylene.

Ladybug: I need packing tape, scissors and office supplies. Do you guys have those things here?

Alya: In there.

Marlena: Right here.

Etta & Ella: And here!

Ladybug: My Christmas list. Go to the Dupain-Cheng's bakery and grab these items. Then meet me back at the Eiffel Tower, I'll explain everything once we're there.

Cat Noir: I've always dreamed of being your Santa Claus, M'Lady.

"Do you ever stop flirting, dude?" Nino shook his head, amused.

Ladybug: Don't worry, Christmas will be back to normal soon enough.

Alya: Go get 'em. Lady-Claus.

Marinette snorted. "Did you just call me Lady Claus?"

Alya grinned. "Yup!"

Scene: Paris. Santa Claws flies by the Eiffel Tower and something catches his eye. He finds a present there with a drawing of him.

Santa Claws: It's me.

Cat Noir: (singing) Santa, you're the winner. We stand down and surrender. We fear you have defeated us, so we give you our Miraculous. But beforehand, here is a gift for you. 'Cause on Christmas Eve, even you have a right to that too.

Santa Claws: A present? For me?

Hawk Moth: Don't listen to him, it has to be a trap!

"Well duh!" Many people said in unison.

Cat Noir: (singing) Rebel with the cause, you give us so much fright. We all have the right to a present on Christmas night. (Santa Claws tries to take the present, but Ladybug jumps out of it)

Everyone jumped.

"I wasn't expecting that," Chloe admitted.

Ladybug: Merry Christmas! (Ladybug ties up Santa Claws)

Cat Noir: Cataclysm! (Cat Noir takes Santa Claws' hat and destroys it, then hands it to Ladybug.) Merry Christmas, milady.

Ladybug: Thanks, kitty. No more evil doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (she tosses the Lucky Charm in the air, returning everything to normal)

Ladybug & Cat Noir: Pound it!

Hawk Moth: Ladybug, Cat Noir. Go ahead and enjoy your Christmas this time, but we'll see who gets the best presents next Christmas.

"I really doubt it, but we'll see, Hawkmoth. We'll see," Marinette smiled.

Scene: Agreste mansion, Gabriel's atelier. Gabriel talks to Adrien in front of his mother's portrait.

Gabriel: Adrien. You understand I can't have you disappearing like that. I couldn't bare the thought of losing you. (the bell rings, Nathalie picks up and opens the gate)

Adrien smiled as a warm feeling spread through his stomach. I couldn't bare the thought of losing you. That meant so much coming from his father.

Nathalie: I think it's for you. (they go to the foyer and open the front door) I informed everyone that Adrien was home, safe and sound, sir. They were all worried about their friend.

"Thanks guys," Adrien smiled at his friends, thinking about how lucky he was to have them.

Adrien: Oh please, father. It's Christmas!

Gabriel: Of course. Come on in.

Nino: Aww, brother!

Nathalie: Merry Christmas, Adrien.

All: Merry Christmas to all!

Adrien: (looking at his family portrait with his mom) Merry Christmas, mom.

"That was so sweet!" Rose gushed, wiping a tear from her eye.

Adrien felt more joyous then he ever had in his lifetime. In a way, his friends knowing about his dad was uncomfortable, but it had finally made him realize that they would support him no matter what.

And as Santa Claus would say, "That's the Christmas Spirit!"

oops just realized how over dramatic that was. sorry. ;)

Anyways, if you didn't read the author note at the beginning then please do because if you wanted to leave a review cleared that confusion for the most part.

thanks for reading, please review! :)

Bug out!
