AN: HEY GUYS! I'M BACK! I know it's been a while. I'm sorry for ending the other one, I wasn't feeling it and it would be too confusing as a one shot and everyone else also thought it was confusing, so I just deleted it. It's alright and I'm back for a new one. I have been seeing people do the "Watch the Show" kind of fanfics and I thought I would try my hand at it. I know its super cliché at this point, and kind of pointless but I want to start coming back into the fanfiction community and by doing something like this it'll be an easy way to do that. I also am kinda busy so updates might be a little bit.
Anyways here's some information to help you guys understand how I'm doing this. Anything in bold is going to be lines/direction from whatever episode they're watching. I will be doing each chapter one episode at a time, including the Origin episodes. There will be an actual plot to this story I swear, but it's also just some easy-going writing, with some conspiracy theories and some plot twists, and maybe a bit of angst? Hehehe we'll see. I will also be trying to make this as canonically correct as I can. That means with Season 4 slowly being released to YouTube, I will be using some of that information. I will put a spoiler alert whenever it is needed. If you have any questions, feel free to PM or Comment! ALSO PLEASE WELCOME MY WONDERFUL COAUTHOR ADONIAH!
AN2: Hey guys! This is Adoniah, the cowriter/editor for The Fault in the Cosmos. I've written a few fanfics before and read a ton (as a fan does), but I don't anything of mine posted. I'm good friends with the author and when she proposed that we write it together, I loved this story idea and just couldn't say no! We hope you all enjoy this take on a watch party of episode: Origins (part one)
Alright sit back, relax and enjoy The Fault in the Cosmos!
"Bunnix? What are you doing here? Why are you in my room?" The last time she was here Marinette had to watch her dream life become reality, then break down step by step. She watched her friend, her partner, her love… lose his mind and destroy everything that had been built up. She still had nightmares about it. "What's going on? Is something wrong?"
"Hey Mini-Bug." Bunnix sighed, looking down at the frightened heroine. "I'm sorry Mari... I hate to do this to you, but we need you. Angelica... if you would..."
Bunnix turned away unable to watch as Marinette cried "Wait no! What's happening?!"
Then everything was silent.
"Marinette? Marinette wake up!" Marinette opened her eyes to see Alya practically sitting on her trying to shake her awake. "Girl you've got to come take a look at this place." Marinette looked around her trying to take everything in. The memories flooded back. Bunnix... she looked hurt... what's going on. She couldn't remember what happened after Bunnix turned away from her. "Alya, what happened? Where are we?"
"Girl I honestly don't know, but I'd love to figure it out." Alya's reporter side already starting to come out. "I mean, the last thing I remember was seeing some person in a bunny costume… It almost looked like Alix… but… you know…. Grown up?"
"Yeah, I think I saw her too..." Replied Marinette, trying to be cautious about what she said. "Who else is here?"
"I think I saw Nino and Adrien across the hall."
"There's another room?"
"Marinette there's lots of other rooms. It's like a college dorm! I mean, look!"
Marinette looked around. Alya was right, she was in a room with two beds, a dresser and an en suite bathroom. It looked like a dorm room!
"Alright, well... Let's go see who else is here." Marinette and Alya went through the door and started down the hall.
"Oh, hey Marinette, Alya." came a voice from down the hall.
"Hey Adrien!" replied Alya. Marinette was too busy trying to figure everything out to notice that Adrien was sitting there. "Have you seen everybody else?"
"Yeah, we got a note in our rooms telling us to meet in the theater."
"The theater?"
"Yeah, I'll show you." Adrien said as he motioned for the girls to follow. He took them to the door at the very end of the hall, where everybody had gathered. There the girls saw everyone who had been transported. Nino, Adrien, Alya, Luka, Kagami, Nathaniel, Marc, Chloe, Sabrina, Alix, Juleka, Rose, Mylene, Ivan, Max, Kim, and even Lila. Everybody went quiet as soon as the trio had stepped into the room.
"Uh, Hi guys! What's going on?"
"That's a great question Marinette!" said a voice. Everyone turned to look at where the voice came from. "My name is Angelica and I hold the miraculous of the chameleon. It gives me the power to transport people anywhere. Even alternate dimensions. Like this one. Right now, you are in my dimension. Something big is happening. I'll turn it over to Bunnix for more information."
"WAIT BUNNIX? THAT'S ME ISN'T IT?" Yelled Alix from the audience.
"Hey mini-me! Yep, that's right. Listen, I brought you all here today to discuss, and observe. As you all know my power is the ability to jump through time. It's called my "burrow". I can jump through time and space. During my most recent patrol, I saw something that was too serious to not keep secret. Hawkmoth is planning something big. Something huge, and it involves all of you. I can't say all the details as it would screw with the space time continuum. However, I'm pretty sure we can avoid it if we watch previous akuma attacks."
"Well, how are we going to do that Bunnix?" asked Alya, still fully in her reporter mode.
"Well, we've been so lucky to have Angelica on our side… where she can make different dimensions. Well, we're in a dimension where your "adventures" have been recorded and made into a TV show!"
"WAIT WHAT A TV SHOW?" Practically screamed Marinette.
"Girl chill out, what's the big deal?" asked Alya.
Marinette looked at Bunnix with a questionable look. "Um… I just don't want my…. Um… clumsiness on show for everyone to see!"
"…Right… ok girl if that's it." Replied Alya only half believing her.
"Anyways, so we will be watching the show… that means that the identities of our heroes will be revealed." Continued Bunnix.
"WHAT!" said the entire room in unison. Some excited, some nervous, some disgusted.
"I know that the heroes are not necessarily happy about this, but I've weighed the different outcomes and I think that this is the best possible way. We will be starting with the origin stories so that everything will be explained. Then with each episode we watch we can understand what went wrong and learn so it doesn't happen again. Right?" Bunnix waited for an answer but got the shunned silence. "Alright then… well, let's begin."
Nooroo: Many centuries ago, magic jewels bestowing extraordinary powers were created. These were… the Miraculous. Throughout history, heroes have used these jewels for the good of the human race. Two of these Miraculous are more powerful than the others; the earrings of the Ladybug, which provide the power of creation, the ring of the Black Cat, which grants the power of destruction. According to legend, whoever controls both the jewels at the same time, will achieve absolute power.
Gabriel: I want that absolute power, Nooroo. Your Miraculous… remind me of its powers again.
Nooroo: The Moth Brooch allows you to give someone their own superpowers and to make that person your devoted follower!
Gabriel: And when it comes to luring superheroes, what could be better than creating supervillains?
Nooroo: But master, the Miraculous are not meant to be used for evil purposes!
Gabriel: I must have this absolute power! Your Miraculous is in my control! I am your master now, and you must obey me.
Nooroo: Yes, master.
Gabriel: (He puts on the brooch) Nooroo, dark wings! Rise! From this day on, I shall be known as… Hawk Moth! (Evil Laugh)
"Whoa bro…. that really sounds like your old man!" said Nino as he leaned over to Adrien.
"There's no way. He was akumatized! There's no way that he could be Hawkmoth… that's just a lot of excess steps to throw us…. Off his trail…" Adrien said while getting lost in thought.
Sabine: Marinette! Your alarm's been going off for fifteen minutes! You're going to be late for your first day back at school!
Marinette: Got it, Mom! Coming! I bet you anything Chloe will be in my class again.
Sabine: Four years in a row, is that possible?
Marinette: Definitely. Lucky me!
"That's right Dupain-Cheng! You are lucky to get to stand in the graces of my presence for four years in a row!" said Chloe.
"Oh yeah… Just great… thank you Chloe." Replied Marinette.
"Hey, has anybody else realized that this has already all been about Marinette? Where is everybody else?" asked Lila, the usual sugar sweetness in her voice.
"Just shut up and watch Lila." Replied Bunnix.
Marinette: Dad, these are so awesome!
Tom: Glad you like them.
Marinette: Thank you Dad, my class will love them! You're the best!
Tom: We're the best, thanks to your amazing designs.
Marinette: Thanks! See you tonight! (She walks out the door onto the street outside the bakery and sees Master Fu walking across the street with a car straight for him. She quickly runs and helps him across before the car hits him)
Master Fu: Thank you, miss. Oh! (He looks at the crushed macarons) What a disaster.
Marinette: (People step on the spilled macarons) Don't worry, I'm no stranger to disasters, besides, there are still a few left over. (Offers one to Master Fu)
Master Fu: (Grabs and eats one) Mmmh. Delicious!
Marinette: (School Bell rings) Oh No! I'm gonna be late! Ah, have a nice day sir (Runs towards the school)
Master Fu: (Looks at a strange looking box) Thank you very much, young lady.
"Wow Marinette, you really are our classroom Ladybug, you helped that poor old man walk across the street, do you want your girl scout badge now?" Asked Lila trying to taunt Marinette.
"Lila's right, you really are our classroom Ladybug!" said Adrien, completely dismissing the second part of what Lila said. "You saved that man's life!" 'Although, that man does look really familiar' Adrien thought.
"Thank you, Adrien." Replied Marinette glaring at Lila.
Chloe: Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Marinette: Ugh here we go again.
Chloe: That's my seat.
Marinette: But Chloe, this has always been my seat.
Sabrina: Not anymore! New school, new year, new seats!
Chloe: So why don't you just go and sit beside that new girl over there? (Points to Alya) Listen. Adrien's arriving today and since that's going to be his seat, this is going to be MY seat. Get it?
Marinette: Who's Adrien?
Chloe (She and Sabrina laugh) Can you believe she doesn't know who Adrien is? What rock have you been living under?
"I still can't believe you didn't know who Adrien was!" Retorted Chloe with a smirk.
"To be fair, I don't follow models, I follow fashion designers. However, you're right… I should have known who he was. After all, his father is Gabriel Agreste. Who is my favorite fashion designer! To be honest Chloe, I probably would have moved if you had asked nicer. You literally told me to move. No please, nothing." Said Marinette.
"Well…. I shouldn't have to be nice. I am the mayor's daughter."
"Well, just because you're the mayor's daughter doesn't mean you can treat everyone like a bag of dirt. Learn some common decency." Replied Alya, absolutely done with Chloe's crap.
Alya: Hey! Who elected you Queen of Seats?
Chloe: Oh, Look Sabrina! We've got a little do-gooder in our class this year. What are you gonna do? Shoot beams at me with your glasses?
Alya: Wouldn't you like to know. (Walks away and grabs Marinette by the hand) Come on. (Walks over to their seats) Chillax, girl. No biggie.
Marinette: I so wish I can handle Chloe the way you do.
Alya: You mean the way Majestia does it. (Shoes her a picture of Majesita on her phone) She says all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing. (Pointing at Chloe) Well, that girl over there is evil and we are the good people. We can't let her get away with it.
Marinette: Well, that's easier said than done. She likes to make my life miserable.
Alya: That's cause you let her. Girl! You just need more confidence!
Marinette: (Grabs a macaron from the box and gives half to Alya) Marinette.
Alya: Alya
"AND THAT'S HOW THE BEST FRIENDSHIP CAME TO BE ISN'T THAT RIGHT GIRL!" exclaimed Alya standing up.
"Yes, Yes now sit down!" Marinette said giggling at her best friend.
Nathalie: Adrien, please reconsider! You know what your father wants!
Adrien: This is what I wanna do! (sees Master Fu trying to get up, goes over to him and helps him)
Master Fu: Thank you, young man.
Adrien: (smiles then remembers Nathalie and Gorilla and walks back over to them) I just wanna go to school like everybody else. What's so wrong with that? Please don't tell my father about all this.
"Adrikins, is that why you weren't at school that first day?" asked Chloe.
"Yeah, my father wasn't too happy about it all. In fact, he yelled at me that day."
"Oh Adrien, that's awful, your father is the worst sometimes." Said Alya. The whole class nodded in agreement.
"I'm sure he was just trying to keep you safe. What's the big deal?" Asked Lila. Everyone turned to glare at her.
"The 'big deal' is that his father yelled at him for trying to go to school. SCHOOL. That's a little overkill, don't you think?" responded Nino. Lila just crossed her arms. She was trying to act like normal, but she couldn't really slander her boss. After all, she was a big part of this plan. She had to act normal so that when she was accused later, she could try to deflect it off her.
Miss Bustier: Those of you who have P.E, Mr. D'Argencourt is expecting you at the stadium. The rest of you can head over to the library.
Ivan: Kim!
Miss Bustier: Ivan, what is going on?
Ivan: It's Kim I'm so gonna get…
Miss. Bustier: Ivan, go to the principal's office.
(Ivan walks away angrily.)
"I'm sorry about that whole situation Ivan… I didn't realize how much this meant to you." Said Kim apologetically.
"It's ok Kim, we were both kinda jerks in that situation." Responded Ivan holding Mylene's hand.
Hawk Moth: (His window opens) Negative emotions. This is perfect. Just what I need. Anger, sadness… Burn a hole into his heart, my horrible akuma (turns a butterfly into an akuma) fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!
Mr. Damocles: Excuse me young man. Hasn't anyone ever taught you to knock? Go on. Out you go, try it again! Go on, knock. (The akuma flies into the rugged paper and infects it)
Hawk Moth: Stoneheart, I am Hawk Moth. I give you the power to seek revenge on those who have wronged you.
Ivan: Okay, Hawk Moth. (Turns into Stoneheart)
Mr. Damocles: Well, come on in. (Stoneheart enters)
Stoneheart: KIMMM!
(The students are thrown to the floor while the other students see Stoneheart in the security camera.)
Alya: Come on!
Student: Did you hear that?
Stoneheart: KIMM!
Mr. Damocles: Hello? Is this the Police? Give me the army!
This last line emitted a laugh from the audience as they knew how overdramatic their principal could be.
Marinette: What's going on? He had Ivan's voice?
Alya: It's as if he's been transformed into a real-life supervillain! GPS, check. Battery, check. I am so outta here!
Marinette: Hey! Where are you going!
Alya: Where there's a supervillain, there's always a superhero close behind! No way I'm missing this!
"I forgot that I went off to go follow Ivan. That's the first time I ever met Ladybug! WAIT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME LADYBUG FOUGHT TOO WASN'T IT? ARE WE GONNA FIND OUT WHO LADYBUG IS?" practically screamed Alya. She was immediately shushed by the rest of the class.
Marinette: (now in her room) I hate first days back at school… (sees a little box)
Adrien and Marinette: Huh? What's this doing here? (They open the little boxes and they glow)
Marinette: AHHH HELP! It's a giant bug! A.. a mouse! A… a bug-mouse!
Tikki: Everything's okay! Don't be scared!
Marinette: Ahhh! Bug mouse talks! (throws things at Tikki)
"MARINETTE, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANNA TELL US?!" asked Alya with excitement, Nino, Adrien, Luka, Kagami, Alix, Kim, and Max each matching the excitement knowing what was about to happen. While Chloe and Lila looked with disgust.
"Umm… Surprise?" Marinette said with a little bit of a giggle.
"I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!" Alya exclaimed.
"This has to be a joke, I'm ladybug!" Lila exclaimed, trying to get the attention off stupid Mari and to get Adrien to look at her the way he was staring at Mari.
"...what?" Rose looked up at Lila then looked to Mari, then Lila. "Are you really ladybug Lila?"
Bunnix couldn't handle it. The genuine excitement and belief on sweet Rose's face. "Lila, that's crazy. We all know you're a liar. It's in your name, LIE-la. You don't get to talk for the rest of the episode."
"But-" Lila was interrupted by Kagami.
"Shut up or I'll slap the silence out of you."
"Thank you Kagami." Bunnix smiled. "Now, time to continue the episode." (She pushes play)
Adrien: (Sees Plagg appear) No way… Like the genie in the lamp!
Plagg: I met him once. So, he grants wishes. Big deal! I'm way more personable! Plagg, nice to meet you. Ooh! Swanky…
Adrien: No! Don't touch that! Come back here!
Plagg: Ohh! So shiny! Can you eat this? (tries to bite the game arcade's joystick) No, you can't Ooh. What about this?
"Alright, now that we know who our heroes are, I'm sure the Kwami would like to come out of hiding, we've provided macarons and Camembert cheese for them to stock up on." Said Bunnix.
"CHEESE. I HEARD CHEESE. WHERE'S THE CHEESE?" Plagg said as he zoomed out of Adrien's jacket.
"Plagg you pig. At least try to be polite." Said Tikki as Marinette opened her purse. "Hello! I'm Tikki, I am the kwami of the miraculous of the Ladybug! I grant the power of creation. Thank you all for supporting Marinette. I know it's been hard on her to keep this a secret from you all for so long. So, thank you for always being there for her."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm Plagg. Blah blah blah. Kwami of destruction. Blah blah blah... Adrien is Chat Noir. Blah blah blah… Can I have my cheese now?"
Bunnix laughed and pointed to the snack table at the back of the room. "There you go Plagg."
While Plagg stuffed his face, Tikki nuzzled Marinette, then went to join him at the snack table. They whispered to each other, bickering about kwami things.
"Alright. Now it's been proven that Marinette and Adrien are Ladybug and Chat Noir and there should be no confusion." Bunnix said glaring at Lila.
"This is ridiculous! Wait... Adrikins?!" Chloe couldn't handle it, she thought she knew this boy so well. One of her good friends and she didn't even know his secret identity, he knew hers!
"Wait a minute... dude?!" Nino looks over at Adrien, who is red in the face, trying to hide and process who his lady is let alone what his whole class just found out about himself.
Alya, who is sitting right next to Marinette, is talking a mile a minute, spewing questions about Ladybug aka Marinette's secret life! Meanwhile Nino watches, trying to get a grasp on how fast his girlfriend is talking. Marinette can hardly follow let alone Nino who was still trying to figure out what she had said four sentences ago.
Adrien is left sitting silently next to Nino, who is next to Alya, who is next to MARINETTE, who is ladybug?! He can process it fast enough. "It makes so much sense. She's our everyday ladybug... but what if she doesn't feel the same way that I feel towards her! She always said there was someone else. Who is it? I know all her friends so well... Could it be Luka? Why would she not want Chat? Would she still not want me?"
As Adrien continued to process, Bunnix cut Alya off and said, "Alya, everyone, you will learn more about Ladybug as we continue to watch. Please, let's keep watching. This is important."
Marinette: Aww…. This is all going too fast, Tikki… I…. won't be able to pull this off!
Tikki: Trust yourself, Marinette. Just say "Spots on"
Marinette: Spots on? (The earrings activate and the transformation begins) Whoa! What is happening?!
Plagg: Claws out! That's how you transform.
Adrien: Got it. Plagg, Claws out!
Plagg: No, wait! I haven't finished explaining!- (enters the ring and the transformation sequence begins)
Ladybug: Aww… How does this thing come off? Tikki, if you can hear me, I want my normal clothes back. I'm not going anywhere!
Nadja: Stoneheart is headed toward the Montparnasse tower. The monster seems to be unstoppable!
Ladybug: (sees Alya going after Stoneheart and gasps) Alya?
Sabine: Marinette! Did you get home okay?
Ladybug: Uhh… yeah, Mom! Just super! (goes upstairs)
Sabine: Marinette? You in here? Tom, we better call the school.
"Marinette, your moms deaf." Alya joked.
"Ugh yeah I know. Half the time she doesn't hear me when she shouts for me."
Chat Noir: (while tightrope walking over his baton) I'm starting to get the hang of this. (Sees Ladybug about to fall. She falls in his arms. They both fall and get hung by the yo-yo.) Well. Hey there. Nice of you to drop in.
Ladybug: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose.
Chat Noir: I bet you're the partner my kwami told me about. I'm… Chat Noir. Yeah, Chat Noir. And you?
Ladybug: I'm Ma…err…Mar…. uhh (Pulls the yo-yo and it hits Chat Noir) madly clumsy. I'm so clumsy.
Chat Noir: No sweat, clumsy girl. I'm learning the ropes too. (Chat Noir sees a building falling and goes to where it is)
Ladybug: Hey! Where are you going?
Chat Noir: To save Paris, right?
Ladybug: Ugh. (To herself) Trust yourself, trust yourself… (Uses to yo-yo to swing around and follow Chat Noir)
Stoneheart: KIMMM! So, who's the wuss now?
Chat Noir: Hey, It's not very nice to pick on people who are smaller than you.
Stoneheart: I guess you're talking about yourself.
A collective "Oooh" arose from the theater.
Hawk Moth: Everything's going to plan. Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous have been activated. Here they come to save the day, and now my supervillain will destroy them.
Chat Noir: Where are you partner?
Ladybug: Oh, I can't I'm not going to be able to do it…
(Stoneheart throws a net away. The net is about to hit Alya but Chat Noir saves her)
"Thanks for that, Adrien!" Alya says, still staring at the screen.
"Yeah! Thanks for saving my girl so many times. She never knows when she shouldn't follow Ladybug and-" Nino stops when he looks over at Adrien. "Dude what's wrong? You look like you've been hit by a car." seen a ghost!"
Marinette said, "I mean, technically he has."
Even though it seemed impossible before, Adrien's face turned a darker shade of red.
"WHAT SERIOUSLY?" Alya said looking at Adrien.
"I- I don't want to talk about it." Replied Adrien in almost a whisper. Marinette looked over to see Adrien almost shaking, tears in his eyes as he replayed the thousands of times that he watched Ladybug… no Marinette die in his arms trying to beat that stupid akuma. He had to watch the love his life die… over and over again. It was more than he could bear, that's why he gave the snake miraculous back to her. He couldn't do it anymore. After watching his mom slip away from him, he couldn't take another person dying in front of him anymore.
Marinette got up, switching seats to sit next to him. Silently, she took his hand in hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. He looked over at her with tears in his eyes. He knew what she was saying. She was there for him and wouldn't ever let him go. He just needed to calm down. He took a deep breath and squeezed back. He didn't want to let go of her hand. It was so comforting and loving. Luckily for him she didn't try to take her hand back. She left it there and rubbed his knuckle with her thumb.
"Ok Adrien… However, we WILL TALK ABOUT THIS LATER." Said Alya.
"You won't have to Alya, there's a whole episode about it." Replied Bunnix also in tears as she knew what was going on. She didn't want to hurt the heroes, but she had to get them to watch every single episode or else Hawk Moths plan would work.
"WAIT THERE'S AN EPISODE? No no... no, I can't do this. Please Bunnix no…" pleaded Adrien.
"I'm sorry... We have to. And you need to watch it… I'm sorry."
"Hey… Look at me. We're going to get through this together. It's you and I against the world, ok? Look at me Adrien please. Together. I promise. Trust me, you're going to have to do this with me later." Explained Marinette.
"What do you mean?" asked Adrien immediately tossing aside any emotion he felt and worrying about his Lady. She might not feel the same way as he did about their love, but she was his partner, and he would do anything for her.
"You'll see… you'll see." She replied with a far-off look. She didn't want to start thinking about it. Not until she had to. Alya looked at her with a questioning glance, but Marinette shook her head.
"Don't worry guys. I'm here for you guys if you ever need a hug!" Said Rose cheerfully. The rest of the class (except for Lila of course) nodded in agreement and a chorus of "Me too!" could be heard.
"Thanks guys. We really appreciate it. Most people don't realize how traumatizing some of this stuff is." Said Marinette.
"OH, SHUT UP ALREADY, WOULD YOU? I bet that none of this is as bad as the time I almost got run over by a train." Said Lila. "I've experienced so much… I have four different councilors did you know that? There was this one time whe-" Lila was shut up by Kagami's hand on her face.
"I told you I wouldn't hesitate to slap you." Kagami sneered. "Talk again and I'll do it again. Harder."
"Thank you Kagami. Now, let's continue the episode." Said Bunnix.
Alya: What are you waiting for, super red bug? The world is watching you!
(Ladybug suddenly is filled with courage. She enters the stadium ready to fight Stoneheart.) Ladybug: Animal cruelty? How shameful!
Alya: YES!
Ladybug: Sorry it took so long, Chat Noir.
Chat Noir: It's cool Wonderbug. Now, let's kick his rocky behind!
Ladybug; Wait! Haven't you noticed? He gets bigger and stronger with every attack. We have to do something different.
Chat Noir: Different how?
Ladybug: Uhhhh. I don't know.
Chat Noir: Ok then, let's use our powers. CATACLYSM! Apparently, I destroy whatever I touch.
Ladybug: I don't need a superpower to destroy everything. (Chat Noir not listening touches the soccer net.) No, don't do that!
The class laughed, knowing what touching the soccer net meant.
Marinette giggled, watching a memory she often thought back to. The day when she met her partner... apparently for the second time... if only she had known...
Adrien smiled softly at his past self, remembering how unaware he was of his abilities as Chat Noir.
Mari looked over at the boy, seeing the tension in his shoulders relax slightly. She smiled at him, even though he didn't notice her looking so intently at him.
Chat Noir: Cool. It's just you and me now! Time to rumble, soon-to-be-rubble!
Ladybug: Chat Noir! Wait!
Chat Noir: Uh-oh. I guess I only get one shot to use my power.
Ladybug: And you only have five minutes before you transform back. Didn't your kwami explain anything to you?
Chat Noir: I guess I was a little excited about my new life.
Ladybug: Well, up to me. LUCKY CHARM (A suit appears)
Chat Noir: Super Power?
Ladybug: My kwami told me I have to break the object where the watchama-call-it er, the akuma is hiding.
Chat Noir: Well, he's made entirely out of stone.
Ladybug: His right hand, it's still closed. He never opens it. It's like the Russian dolls. The object isn't on him, it's hidden in his fist!
Chat Noir: So what's your plan?
Ladybug: Hmmmm (Looking around, she spots a hose, Alya and the wetsuit) This! (grabs the hose and ties it to the suit. Then ties Chat Noirs feet with her yo-yo) Don't resist. Trust me.
Chat Noir: (As he's being thrown) This girl's crazy!
Ladybug: Catch me if you can! And now… Alya, the tap! (Alya goes to the water tap and opens it. The water sprouts and inflates the suit. Stoneheart lets go of her. Ladybug breaks the akumatized object and the Akuma flies away. Stoneheart is turned back into Ivan.)
Chat Noir: This girl is awesome. She's crazy awesome!
Ivan: What's going on? What am I doing here?
Chat Noir: You were incredible, miss… uh… Bug lady. You did it!
Ladybug: We both did it partner.
Both: Pound it! (Chat Noir's Miraculous beeps)
Ladybug: You should get going. Our identities must remain secret.
Chat Noir: Farewell, m'lady. Let's do this again soon, okay?
Ladybug: Not too soon, I hope. (Sees Ivan, grabs the paper and reads it) "You haven't even got the guts to tell Mylene you love her, wuss"
Ivan: Kim wrote it. He's always making fun of me.
Ladybug: You know, you shouldn't get so bent out of shape about that. There's no shame in telling someone you love them, Ivan.
Ivan: Hey, how did you know my name, miss?
Alya: Uncanny, amazing, spectacular! Are you gonna be protecting Paris from now on? How did you get your powers? Did you get stung by a radioactive Ladybug? Oh, I've got a ton of questions to ask you, uh, miss… uhhh…
Ladybug: Uhh… Ladybug! Call me Ladybug!
Alya: Ladybug… Super awesome!
Nadja: So thanks to this amateur footage, the Parisians now know the identities of their heroes!
Marinette: I did it, Tikki!
Tikki: You see? You were up to it!
Sabine: Marinette! Dinner time!
Mr. Bourgeois: I am pleased to announce that we will organize a huge celebration in honor of our city's new protectors. Ladybug and Chat Noir.
Adrien: Ladybug. Her name is Ladybug…
Plagg: Eww, what is this?
Adrien: Seriously? My personal chef made all this!
Plagg: If you expect me to get my energy back after the transformation, I need to eat something more… delicate!
Adrien: Okay. What do you want?
Sabine: Oh my!
Nadja: Just as Paris is about to celebrate the appearance of our two new superheroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir, a new wave of panic is sweeping across the capital as dozens of people are mysteriously transformed into stone monsters. It's simply unbelievable.
Adrien: Camembert cheese. Fantastic. All he eats is Camembert, which means I'm gonna smell like stinky old cheese.
Nadja: These victims transformed into stone beings are still like statues. The police are perplexed to what will happen to them. Will they come back to life or be frozen in time forever?
Adrien: Plagg? What's going on? I thought we defeated him.
Tikki and Plagg: Did you capture the Akuma?
Marinette: What's capturing the akuma got to do with the other stone beings?
Tikki: An Akuma can multiply, that's why it must be captured. If Ivan's emotions become negative again, then the akuma will turn him back into Stoneheart! He'll control all the stone beings and bring them to life to serve as his army!
Marinette: So that means… this is all my fault? I knew it! See, Tikki? I'm not cut out to be a superhero! I'm only gonna keep messing up.
Tikki: Keep calm. It was your first time. You're going to go back and capture Stoneheart's akuma, and do it successfully!
Marinette: I can't I told you, I'm clumsy! I create disaster all the time! I'll only make things worse for me, for you and for everyone. Chat Noir will be better off without me. I'm quitting.
Adrien: So I can't do anything without Ladybug?
Plagg: Only Ladybug can capture akumas and repair damage caused by supervillains.
Marinette: If Chat Noir can't capture the akumas then… just find another Ladybug. I told you, I'm not cut out to be Ladybug (She takes her earrings off) I'm sorry Tikki.
Tikki: No, don't do tha-
Marinette: …Tikki? (Puts the earrings back in the box and puts the box in the drawer) I'm really sorry, Tikki…
Hawk Moth: Ivan has a sensitive heart. It won't be long before anger and sadness strike again. And he and the stone beings will come alive. Then we'll see how long you will remain hidden, Ladybug and Chat Noir. Once I have your Miraculous, you will be powerless against me. (Shows Ivan sitting on the stairs while listening to music, Adrien is sitting on his couch while he worries while Plagg is in front of him, Marinette regrets her decisions in front of her vanity) Everyone will be powerless against me! (Hawk Moth cackles as his window closes). I will have absolute power!
"That dude is literally so evil." Said Nino looking at the screen disgusted.
"He's done worse… believe me." Said Marinette.
"His melody is rough and ragged. But… it does have a soft undertone to it. Maybe there's something we're missing." Added Luka who had been pretty silent the whole time.
"According to my calculations it is 15.6% probable that Hawk Moth is someone that we know." Said Max.
"Wait, why is that so high?" Asked Juleka.
"I'm not super sure actually. As we watch more episodes it should continue to go either higher or lower. It shouldn't stabilize." Said Max.
"Actually, you guys should be able to figure out who Hawk Moth is, and if not it does actually get revealed." Said Bunnix.
"WHAT!?" said Marinette and Adrien.
"Yes, he does get revealed."
"Oh good, we can kick his ass then." Said Adrien in a gruff voice.
"ummm… sure…."Bunnix show to match Adrien's aggression.
"What's with the hesitation?"
"You might wanna relax a little bit. You're not going to want to just go and 'kick his ass' per say."
"Alright Bunnix… whatever you say."
"Alright folks… That's the end of episode one. We have the next part of the episode. So now is a good time to get any extra snacks, or a bathroom break before we continue. Marinette, Adrien there's a room across the hall. I'm sure you guys want to talk about some things."
"Thanks, Bunnix."
The couple walked out the door and into the room across the hall. They shut the door behind them and stared at each other for a moment silently.
"M'lady." Adrien smiled, trying to release some of the tension.
"Adrien, I-I don't know what to say…. You're… you're Chat."
"And you're my lady. How did I not see it before?"
"Please don't… you love me as Ladybug… not as Marinette."
"No, I love you as both. I always have. What you don't realize, and I guess I didn't realize either, is that I have always loved you. From the moment I first set my eyes on you I started to love you. I became enhanced by your kindness towards others even when they didn't treat you the same. I love your sense of fashion, you impressed my father, and even Chloe's mom! Not everybody can do that. You continually prove to me how you are our everyday Ladybug. Marinette, I love you. You can't tell me any different."
"Adrien… I… I love you to…. I love you. I love Chat… I love every part of you." She said as she walked closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Just going for a hug but instead her lips met his. Caught by surprise he gasped then leaned into the kiss. Showing her how much he loved her, he'd been holding this in for years on end and she seemed to hold the same passion for him as he had her. He loved her with every inch of his being, and he knew that he would continue to love her until the day he died.
"I love you, m'lady."
