Hi! I'm trying to update daily as much as I can because I have school starting in less than 2 weeks and my friend and I might not have a lot of time to write this after that. Of course it will still be updated, but less frequently. Trying to make the best of summer..

anyways, I'm super excited for 7th grade in the fall! (Even if we have to do it virtually...bummer.) I hope we'll be able to go back to go school by the end of the year because quarantine is boring me to death. I don't know how Adrien lived like this for 15 years and honestly it just makes me feel more bad for him lol.

And I also need to set the record straight because some people are confused: I am not writing this alone and I can't do it without my very close and amazing friend who writes it with me. It wouldn't be possible without her and please also give her credit even though it's posted from my account. :)

anyways, thank you to everyone who reads, follows, favorites, or reviews this story because I can't express how thankful my friend and I am for all the readers! :)

Etoile-Lead-Sama: Merci! Je suis content que vous ne mayez pas oublié. OMG c'est génial, j'espère que vous passez de bonnes vacances! Content que tu aies aime! :)

XxBugaCatxX: Yeah, one our genius nicknames. Thank you :)

MiraculousLover2: Thank you, that's really nice of you! Agreed, Marinette would make an awesome phone thief XD. Glad you like the story! :D

Justin: Haha you're desperate lol! (It's not a bad thing though, it makes us happy) Yeah i figured that out! I think if you are a guest you can post an unlimited amount of reviews, but if you post with an account it won't work no matter how many times you reload, I tried.

Maryjane: Sure haha! I don't say my name online for safety reasons but i can tell you the other stuff i dont really mind telling you my age. I just turned 12! Omg I'm so sorry about that..you didn't have to tell me but if you need someone to talk to I'm always here. :) Thanks, glad you liked it!

HopeGiver07: That's some high praise, thanks so much! It means so much to us. Omg same here, Chris really didn't have to do that it wasn't necessary i agree. You too. :)

SariaBookCat62408: Yeah, I'm writing this with another friend. Thought I said that a bunch of times already...

Tkoala: Thank you!

reader: Thank you, that's really nice of you to say that! I will. :)

ladybug: Aw thanks, you're awesome too! Or should I say paw-some hehe.

MLBLover2020: Hope this update was good enough for you! :) Thanks!

Kittienoir: Thanks, glad you liked it!

Enjoy the chapter, folks! :)

(Meanwhile, the Mime still throws arrows at Ladybug, but she dodges them, and crushes the Mime's invisible bow with her yo-yo. But the Mime opens an invisible box, and takes an invisible bazooka from it. Ladybug avoids it. The Mime mimics a whip, and uses it to grab Ladybug. Hawk Moth telepathically communicates with the Mime)

Hawk Moth: Grab her Miraculous, the earrings! Now!

(The Mime uses the whip to pull Ladybug, but Cat Noir arrives and pushes the Mime away with his staff)

Cat Noir: Keep those hands to yourself, clown! It's okay, I've got this.

Ladybug: My pleasure, Cat Noir…

Alya smirked. "For once, it's CHAT NOIR getting LADYBUG out of trouble..usually it's the other way around, isn't it?"

The theater was full of laughter.

Adrien turned red. "That is SO not true!"

And to his surprise:

"It's not," Marinette agreed.

"I know, I was just kidding," Alya laughed.

"By the way, I didn't pun this time. Looks like you're losing this," Adrien smriekd.

Marinette scoffed, "Uh huh. And let's see who's bragging after this darned thing is ober."

Adrien smiled. "We'll see.."

"Oh, you're so on…"

(Cat Noir is about to fight the Mime, but the Mime mimics a cell and locks Cat Noir and Ladybug in it)

"Woah!" Kim exclaimed. "That's actually a cool power!"

"I have to admit that Hawkmoth has no fashion taste at all," said Chloe, like it was obvious (which it was), "But he has good superpower ideas. Or supervillain power ideas-you know what I mean!"

Ladybug: Apparently, not seeing is believing.

"Was that a pun?"

"Heck no!"

Cat Noir: We can't let him go like that!

(Ladybug sees the Mime mime a car and running away riding it. Cat Noir chases it)

Ladybug: No, wait, don't!

Cat Noir: There, I did it.

Ladybug; I wish you did. When he started miming the car, the bars disappeared.

"Oh, so he can only mime one thing at a time," Mylene realized.

Cat Noir: Hey! Wait!

Scene: The streets. The Mime is riding his invisible car, but Ladybug and Cat Noir reach him.

Cat Noir: Nice ride, but if I were you, I would have at least made it a convertible.

"Umm.."

Ladybug: He's one of the actors from the theater troupe, and he's after that bus! (The Mime gets out of the car) Where is he going? We gotta stop this thing!

Cat Noir: Slam down on the brake!

Ladybug: What brake? (Sees a woman and a child crossing the street, and hits the invisible brake)

"You guys just keep getting more amazing!" Nino shook his head. "I mean, riding an invisible car?"

Cat Noir: Not bad, for driving an invisible car, Course, they'll never believe us if we tell them we just saved their lives.

"I think we'd believe whatever you two tell us," said Alya. Many people nodded.

"So if we hadn't revealed and I'd told you that I was dating Ladybug you would have believed me?" Adrien smirked.

Marinette blushed. "ADRIEN!"

"Well, yeah," Kim snorted. "I mean, it's obvious..you flirt so much. Anyone would believe that. I'm pretty sure even Hawkmoth ships the two of you."

"Will someone please tell me what a ship is?" Miss Bustier pleaded.

The entire class burst out laughing again.

(Meanwhile, the Mime mimes that he's putting on a helmet, and rides a motorcycle)

Ladybug: He's already off again! We gotta catch up with the bus before he does! (Cat Noir hangs her on his shoulder) What do you think you're doing?

Cat Noir: Good thing you have friends in high places. Hold on! (uses his staff to elevate Ladybug and himself up to the sky while holding her waist)

"Is this really the time?" Alya laughed.

"So flirty.." Juleka murmured, smiling.

Ladybug: I could have done this on my own.

"I could have," said Marinette. "Looks like he thought different."

Cat Noir:' But we're the cat-and-bug team, remember?

Ladybug: Bug-and-cat team, you mean. Now drop me off over there.

"I take it back when i used to think you weren't savage," said Adrien.

"You'd better.."

Cat Noir: Keep grip. (uses the staff to drop Ladybug to where the bus is) Where could the akuma be?

Ladybug: Inside his hat!

Cat Noir: How'd you know that?

Ladybug: I have hidden talents. Trust me on this one.

(Ladybug uses her yo-yo to make a net, but the Mime dodges the net and jumps on the bus.)

Ladybug: You better distract him.

Cat Noir: Gotcha. (Cat Noir distracts the Mime. Ladybug tries to reach his hat, but the Mime notices and attacks her. Ladybug dodges, Cat Noir knocks the Mime off the bus, but Ladybug grabs his hand. Inside the bus, Chris sees the Mime)

Chris: Fred?

Hawk Moth: The Miraculous! Grab her earring!

(Ladybug is about to fall off, but Cat Noir grabs her)

Ladybug: His hat! Grab his hat!

Cat Noir: Look out!

(The Mime attacks her, but he falls off the bus landing onto a car. He mimics a chainsaw to saw the ceiling of the car, and tells the driver to go on)

Ladybug: We got to get the passengers to safety!

Cat Noir: Can I lend a helping paw?

Ladybug: Yeah, cover me!

Cat Noir: Hurry up, my lady!

(Ladybug enters the bus)

Ladybug: Stop the bus!

Sarah: Ladybug, what's happening?

Ladybug: One of your actors has been akumatized, and for some reason, he's seemed to heading in for your troupe!

Sarah: Fred?

"How do you do all this while standing on a MOVING BUS?" asked Rose, bewildered.

"Yeah, how?" asked Nino in amazement.

"Well, we have superpowers," Marinette shrugged.

"You're too modest," said Alya, smiling.

(Meanwhile, the Mime heads for the bus, and throws arrows at Cat Noir, but he dodges them with his staff. One of the arrows pinches a wheel of the bus, making it out of control. Cat Noir stops the bus in time)

Ladybug: Stay inside and don't panic. We'll get this under control.

Chris: Ladybug, I know why he's after us. I took his role from him. But he can perform instead of me! I don't care anymore! Please, just keep us all safe…

"Scaredy cat now, is he?" Mylene scowled.

Sarah: What do you mean you took his role from him? He lost it!

Chris: Not exactly. There's something I have to tell you.

"And now he admits it.."

(Meanwhile, the Mime reaches the bus and finds Cat Noir. He and Cat Noir fight)

Hawk Moth: His Miraculous is within your reach! I want his ring!

(The Mime is about to take the ring from him, but Ladybug ties his hand with her yo-yo)

Ladybug: I don't know what's made you this violent, but I don't think your daughter Mylène would approve!

(The Mime pulls Ladybug, and mimics a bomb. He throws the bomb at Ladybug and Cat Noir)

Cat Noir: He sure brings a whole new meaning to silent but deadly.

Ladybug: Ughhh... (bored) Lucky Charm! (a shoebox appears)

Cat Noir: A shoebox? Great. There better be some explosive boots in there or something.

(The Mime is about to fight Cat Noir again. Ladybug uses her thinking and Sarah's glasses, the bus' light, a Mime poster and the Eiffel Tower flash)

Ladybug: Of course! We have to make him really angry! Blow his fuse!

"What?" asked Alya, bewildered.

"What are you saying?" asked Mylene, confused.

Marinette smiled. "You'll see."

Cat Noir: You don't think he's angry enough?

"For once, I agree," said Nino.

Ladybug: Cat Noir, you're good at annoying people, do your thing!

Everyone burst out laughing.

"I LOVE HOW YOU WORDED THAT!" Abby appeared out of nowhere and yelled.

Adrien whined. "Why do you all always gang up on me?"

Cat Noir: Hey!... That is true.

"See, even you admit it."

Ladybug: (takes Sarah's glasses) Gotta borrow these. (Grabs the Mime poster) A watch, a magnifying glass, some light... (uses the bus' light to project the Mime poster) Voila! A homemade projector. Hey, Mime! Nice poster, don't you think?

"How is this helping anything?" asked Chloe

"It's one of Ladybug's awesome spectacular plans" Alya said giddily jumping up and down in her seat

(The Mime sees the poster projection and gets angered. He mimics a sword and cuts the Eiffel Tower in half. He sees it's falling and mimics a shield to stop it)

"Oh!"

Ladybug: Yes! Remember, he can only mime one thing at a time.

So he's forced to take down another thing" Ivan observed

Cat Noir: So he's cornered. Good thinking, my lady. (uses his staff to grab the Mime's hat) Yoink!

(Ladybug grabs the photo in the hat and tears it, releasing the akuma)

Ladybug: No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (catches the akuma with her yo-yo) Gotcha! (releases the akuma, turning it into a normal butterfly) Bye bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!

(She throws the Lucky Charm into the air, and its energy turns everything back to normal.)

Scene: Eiffel Tower at sunset. The Mime turns back into Fred.

Fred: What happened? How did I... get here?

Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!

Sarah: I'm so sorry I didn't believe you, Fred.

Chris: I'm sorry too. I was so desperate to perform that I lied to you about where we were meeting up.

"Fine, maybe I don't hate him completely anymore," said Mylène stiffly.

(Ladybug's Miraculous beeps)

Cat Noir: Your earrings!

Ladybug: Better get going.

Cat Noir: Such a shame. I could have been your date in the play tonight. Just you and me.

Ladybug: Thanks, but I have other plans.

"Rejected!"

"Hey! I had to try.."

Hawk Moth: The show's not over yet, Ladybug. You just wait. There's still a last act to come when you least expect it. (his window closes)

Scene: Outside the Louvre. Marinette grabs the phone out of the trashcan.

Marinette: Got it!

Scene: Eiffel Tower. The Mime show is about to start. Adrien sees Marinette and Alya and takes a seat. Marinette looks at him with a big smile.

Adrien: Ah, hey, you're here too, cool. Thought I was gonna end up sitting by myself.

Alya: Hey, did you bring my phone?

Scene: Outside the theatre. Marinette expresses to Alya her happiness seeing Adrien at the show.

Marinette: I don't know which I loved more. The show or sitting next to my sweet Adrien!

"You were staring at Adrien more than the movie itself," Alga recalled.

Marinette blushed. "Shut up!"

Alya: Maybe you should give him a call and ask him out to a movie.

Marinette: Speaking of calling, there's something I gotta tell you, Alya. I...accidentally erased your Ladybug video on your phone, and then, when I tried to fix the problem I dropped the phone in a dumpster and now it stinks like bad, like really, really bad, and I'm sorry, so, so, so sorry. I know how much that video meant to you and I'm the lamest of friends. Lamer than lame!

Everybody laughed at her confession.

Alya: Ah ha ha! Chillax, lady. If there's anyone on this earth who knows about your legendary clumsiness, it's me, your BFF!

"You found yourself a good BFF, Marinette. If you dumped my phone in a dumpster bin for ten hours then I would chew you out," Alix admitted.

Marinette: So... You're not angry?

Alya: Well, you should've just come clean and told me in the first place. But no, we're cool. Besides, I uploaded the video on to my Ladyblog before I showed it to you.

"Thank goodness."

Marinette: (surprised) I'm so lucky to have a friend like you! Now that we're good, you probably don't care about the surprise I planned for you.

Alya: (surprised) Screw up or no screw-up, you know I love surprises!

Marinette: Okay, you see that theater over there? There's something inside for you, on the stage.

Alya gasped. "I remember! Thank you sO much for that by the way!"

Scene: Inside the theater. Alya sees Ladybug.

Ladybug: Hello! Alya, right? Last time I saw you, I was in a hurry, but I've got a bit more time now if you want to interview me for your Ladyblog.

Alya: No... Seriously? Do I! Do I!

Ladybug: Have a seat.

Alya: You don't know me, but FYI, this is like the biggest moment of my life.

"That is so awesome!" Rose gushed. "I can't believe you did that for Alya."

Alya grinned. "Best BFF ever!"

Scene: Outside the theater.

Tikki: Alya's lucky to have you as a friend too, you know!

(Alya exits the theater. She recorded the whole interview)

Marinette: Show me!

"I gotta admit, I didn't suspect a thing!" Alya admitted.

Alya: Only after I put it on my blog! There's no way I'm gonna lose this video!

Marinette: Hey! (Both laugh)

"Seems like a fair idea to me!" Adrien laughed.

"What's next?" Marinette asked.

"Princess Fragrance."

Tikki sighed. "This brings back bad memories."

Hope you liked that chapter! I can't promise another update tomorrow but we'll see.

Bug out! :)
