AN: Hey guys! We're back! I was pretty shocked, in the first 24-hour period we had a lot of interaction which is huge! It brings me motivation to write, which I mean, you guys like it when we bring new chapters so there's that. ISo…. Thanks for interacting with us and giving our story a chance! Another quick thing, with Gang of Secrets being released to Youtube we realize that our story is no longer super canonically correct. (Not going to say how because we're not spoilers.) So please take it with a grain of salt and pretend it didn't happen yet. I'm not sure yet whether I will do a chapter for gang of secrets, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Ok, so we've both decided to answer reviews so… if you ever have questions for a specific author just let us know in your review about who you're asking. Anyways… I digress. Here is Niah, then we'll do reviews.
AN2: hello lovelies! Goodness you all love this story! I loved reading all your reviews and I'm so glad that it's been received by our new audience so well. I can't wait to hear what you think of this next chapter! I even decided to make an account just so that I could read them on my own! (Yes, I didn't have an account before this... but I do now!) is my account, but I literally have nothing up right now so it's nothing serious. Maybe someday I'll share some of my own writings, but we will see what happens... well enough of that. Time for reviews!
Mckellepstephen: Thank you for the review! Yes, Niah and I talked about this and hopefully we will fix that. Looking back, we agree it did get a little choppy, I just didn't want people to be overwhelmed by the different ratio of episode content, to original. We will work on that though! -Kenzie And thank you for continuing to read it. We hope you enjoy this next chapter as we take you review to heart. - Niah
Nephthys13: Thank you!
Mrsdevil13: Thank you! We hope you enjoy the next one just as much!
Hidden-in-Moonlight: THIS. Both Niah and I agree that Adrien IS A PERSON. WHICH MEANS HE HAS EMOTIONS AND IT'S OK FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE EMOTIONS. We get very passionate about this and thank you for your review. - Kenzie Oh gosh this review! It was so heartfelt and sweet, and as someone who agrees that Adrien is the best (and my favorite character as well), I can't say how much this review meant to both of us. We really want to acknowledge these difficult emotions in a healthy way that's not condescending, but also brings our sweet cinnamon roll some freedom and happiness. -Niah
Bloody Rogue dragon deity king: we're glad you like it! – Niah
Guest: Thank you! Neither can we, we enjoy writing this for you guys. – Kenzie
Againi: I KNOW BUNNIX IS SUCH AN UNDERRATED CHARACTER. Honestly, we needed a way to have a plot without it being cliché or a copy of another person's work, so we were like….BUNNIX! It's good to see that we're not too predictable! -Kenzie
Alright without further adieu, chapter two of The Fault in the Cosmos
"What in the world are they doing in there?" Kagami demands from Bunnix. She stands towards the front of the room, trying to intimidate the older woman.
"Yeah, what exactly are you trying to do to my Adrikins?" added Chloe, still a little shocked that Adrien was Chat Noir.
"Your Adrikins?" Said Kagami and Lila almost in perfect unison.
"Ummm… Lila you weren't even included in this conversation."
"Oh I know, I'm sorry that one ear that has Tinidis sometimes amplifies my hearing. It's really a struggle. You know, I have heard some super top classified stuff because of it. I'm sworn to secrecy!"
"Umm… ok whatever." Chloe's eyes fall naturally into a deep eye roll. "Anyways, yes my Adrikins. I was with him first! Do you not remember the first day of school?" said Chloe, getting a little agitated.
"Yeah, well I've been modeling with him for the last few months, and I hate to break it to you but... we've already been on SEVERAL coffee dates."
Bunnix walked away, sick of listening to Lila and not wanting to deal with the situation. She walked over to the snack table where the rest of the class was getting to know the Kwamis better and talking about the room next door.
"You guys are so cute!" Rose squealed.
"I am not cute!" Plagg groaned. With a smug look on his face he said, "Tell that to Sugar Cube,"
"Stop it Plagg, now is not the time!" Tikki blushed, the apple of her cheeks barely changing in pigment so subtly that the group didn't notice... but after knowing her so long, Plagg did.
"That's so sweet!" "I've never heard that pet name before." Julika said.
"She loves it, right Sugar Cube?"
"Plagg!" She glared at him, but he noticed the smile in her eyes.
The group laughed as the conversation lulled.
"So, you guys have been around Marinette and Adrien ever sense Ladybug and Chat Noir existed?" Alya asked, thinking of all the things that have happened sense then.
"Yup! It seems like it was just yesterday." Tikki smiled. "It's been a joy to keep Paris safe."
"And New York that one class trip." Plagg stated plainly.
"I forgot about that!" Nino paused. "That means you guys have been in class and at all our hang outs as a class, right?"
"Yeah, we've been around it all." Plagg shoved more cheese in his mouth.
"You guys must know us all really well then!" Rose realized.
"Mhm." He swallowed.
Tikki smiled. "Yes, we do and now you can get to know us."
Alya's brow scrunched. "I can't believe that they've been superheroes this whole time. I've been best friends with Ladybug this whole time."
"I can believe it, I mean, think of how great of a friend she is." Rose giggled. "Adrien always said she was our everyday Ladybug."
"Are you kidding me, I can't believe Adrien is Chat Noir!" Nino exclaimed. "Their personalities seem so different."
"I wonder which one is his true personality." Juleka said under her breath.
"What I'm really wondering about is what they're doing in that room right now." Alya chuckled at the thought.
"I don't want to know." Nino said.
The class laughed.
As the class continued to create theories about what the couple was doing, Luka sat, watching it all happen. His mind swam with all the things that could be happening right now, just across the hall. He had wondered if this would happen eventually, just not like this. This was much faster than he anticipated. "I guess it makes sense." He thought. "They are partners, and they both already have feelings for one side of each other or the other. I had just hoped that maybe there was a chance that-"
Luka's thoughts were interrupted but a commotion at the front of the room. He looked up and saw Lila and Kagami yelling at one another, with Chloe egging them on by adding in her own comments.
"YEAH, IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT PRINCE ALI HAS ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM. BUT I TOLD HIM NO BECAUSE I LOVE ADRIEN. ADRIEN LOVES ME, WE AR-" Lila was interrupted by Kagamis hand on her face. "WHAT THE HELL?"
"ADRIEN DOES NOT LOVE YOU. WE'VE BEEN DATING FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS!"
"Oh yeah, tell her Kagami!" egged on Chloe.
"STAY OUT OF THIS." The girls yelled at Chloe. They continued to argue about how much Adrien loved each of the girls. Lila had finally had enough and tried to slap Kagami, but Kagami, being the great fencer that we know her to be, knew it was coming a dodged in time However, unluckily for everyone else, Lila did end up slapping Chloe instead, knocking her down.
"Oh, I know that you didn't just slap me." Said Chloe as she stood up. Lila had a look of fear on her face as she saw how angry the blonde was. Chloe took that moment to tackle Lila and start beating the crap out of her. Kagami took this as an invite to just start letting each of the girls have it.
"What's going on?" asked Adrien as he walked in hand in hand with Marinette. Everything stopped except for Lilas crying from the bottom of the dogpile.
"Lila, are you ok?" Asked Marinette, as much as she hated the manipulative bitch that Lila was, she still cared for everyone's safety.
"No Marinette, I'm not fine. I just got beat up over the fact that I turned down a marriage proposal to be with-" Lila gasped as she looked at Marinette, who's hand was still being held by Adrien's.
"Lila?"
"I-I-I um I'm fine, just a little bruised I guess." She turned over to Bunnix, "Do you have any ice packs I could borrow?" Bunnix nodded and turned to go get Lila her ice pack.
"So, if you all could sit down for a minute, Marinette and I would like to speak with you." Adrien said as he motioned for them all to sit. "Being Ladybug and Chat Noir have given us new insight to the world as we know it. It's been one hell of a ride and I know it will continue to be one. Especially with Ladybug as the guardian, and with our schedules we have to be careful. We're asking you guys to possibly help us. Cover for us when we're late to school because we're tired, or we had an akuma attack. Keep in mind with all this craziness it's hard to get some sleep. Can you guys do that for us?" Adrien asked. The class nodded.
Marinette looked lovingly at Adrien and started to go sit down. "Wait, should we tell them?"
"I think they already know." He said.
"KNOW WHAT? KNOW WHAT?" yelled Alya, waiting for them to say what she hoped they would.
Adrien sighed and smiled at Marinette. "Well, Alya. I've decided to ask Marinette to be my girlfriend. We've spent all this time together, and we loved different sides of ourselves. Marinette, was a total klutz because she was so in love with the Adrien side of me, although, she was starting to fall for the Chat Noir side weren't you M'lady?" Adrien said snickering at Marinette.
"Hush Chaton, just tell the rest of the story." Marinette said grinning.
"Well, I was in love with Ladybug, but was starting to fall for Marinette. It was a match made in heaven." Adrien said planting a kiss on Marinettes forehead. "I love you Bug-inette."
"Hehehe… I love you to moon Chaton."
"AWWWW" Came the chorus from the class. Except for Lila, who was on the verge of tears. She was supposed to be Adrien's girlfriend. Gabriel had promised her that SHE would get a date with him. SHE would be his girlfriend and he said that if all went well, he would push for their marriage. SHE HAD TO HAVE HIM. But she would keep quiet for now… Marinette would get what was coming to her.
"May I say something?" Asked Kagami. The couple nodded. "I just want to say I am happy for you two. Especially you, Adrien. Even though we've been dating for the past three months, I could tell you weren't truly happy with me. I know that Marinette will make you happy. It's for the best that we aren't together, I don't think that I was truly happy either. In fact, I know I wasn't but I've got my sights set on someone else, and that's ok. I wish you two the most happiness I can give you."
"Wow, Kagami. Thank you very much… I appreciate your support. Thank you." Replied Adrien a little shocked.
"Alright alright, that's enough of the mushy-gooshy stuff right now. Let's get on with the episode, shall we? We can talk more later." Said Bunnix with a smile.
Adrien led Marinette to their chairs and once she sat down, went over to the snack table and got them some popcorn to share. Now that their identities were revealed they really didn't have much to worry about. There weren't any more secrets. Not between them. At least, not from his side. There still seemed to be a couple things that were bothering her about watching the episodes that she was worried about, but he hoped that it would soon come to pass.
"Alright! I'm starting the episodes now!" Said Bunnix excitedly, now that everybody was in their seats.
Nadja: (Standing to the side of a picture of one of Stonehearts Minions) The stone beings are scattered all over Paris, and for the time being, they are showing no signs of movement. Police have cordoned off the area.
Andre: (On television alongside Officer Roger) We won't stop until we find a way to get these people back to their normal selves, but for now, we're not making much headway.
Nadja: Paris is relying on our new guardian angels, Ladybug and Chat Noir to save us all. Our lives depend on them.
(In Marinette's home, with the tv on) Tom: Listen, I know how upsetting and scary this is, but don't worry sweetie; we've got two superheroes looking out for Paris, and the best way of helping them is to show them that we're not scared, because we trust them.
Marinette: But what if Ladybug fails?
Tom: Then I'd come and save you. Super Baker to the rescue!
Marinette: Thanks, Super Dad!
(In Adrien's home, Nathelie waits for Adrien) Nathalie: Hmm, what's he doing? (goes to his room) Adrien?
Gabriel: You didn't see him leave? If anything happened to my son, you'll be held responsible!
(On the street, Adrien runs away from home, towards the school) Plagg: You're such a strange kid. Who would want to be at school when he can stay at home all day?
Adrien: You don't get it, Plagg. I've had enough of being shut up at home by my dad. I want to meet people and make friends! Go to a normal school like everybody else!
Plagg: (Sighs) Uhhh, I think I'm feeling weak…
Adrien: You know what's strange? The fact that all you eat is this disgusting, rotten-smelling Camembert cheese, and then I have to smell like it 24/7. That's strange.
Plagg: If you want to be able to transform into a superhero, then stinky cheese is the deal, my friend!
(in class) Alya: Ladyblog, (Hands Marinette her phone) Bringing you all the latest news about the coolest superhero, Ladybug! How awesome is that?! Check out the number of views since I posted the video!
Marinette: But why do you trust Ladybug so much? All these stone beings…
Alya: (Confidently) She's gonna handle 'em
Marinette: But what if she's not really cut out to be a superhero even though everyone thinks she is?
Alya: What are you talking about, girl? Oh, wait. I know what this is about. You're scared, but don't be! I've seen her with my own two eyes, girl! Ladybug is a true superheroine! She's going to protect us all! I believe in her.
Alix: So, you really don't remember anything?
Juleka: You were totally going ballistic. It was so cool!
Kim: You were seriously out to crush me, dude!
Ivan: Oh, I'm sorry… I wasn't myself...
Chloe: Pfft! Once a monster, always a monster. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
"Hey! I'm actually in this episode!" Yelled Alix.
"me too…" Mumbled Juleka. Showing more excitement in her voice.
"Well, of course I'm in it. I'm wonderful." Boasted Chloe. The room went silent, Chloe felt the stares of her classmates on her. "What?"
"Chloe, you do realize that Ivan got akumatized the second time because of you right?" asked Mylene.
"Well, um.. I mean. It's not entirely my fault. If Marinette had captured-"
"Don't blame this on Marinette, Chloe." Said Adrien with a hint of a growl in his voice. "She did nothing wrong, she was learning the ropes and was having a hard enough time. So don't you dare blame this on her." He raised his eyebrows insinuating that he knew how many times she's messed up as a miraculous holder, which immediately shut her up.
(In Hawk Moth's Liar) Hawk Moth: Yes… Feel the burn of those words. Lose your temper, Ivan! Your akuma awaits you.
(Outside the School) Nathalie: Adrien! Don't do this! Your father will be furious!
Adrien: Tell him you got here too late. Please! (He runs in and Nathalie sighs)
(inside the school) Alya: How could you say that to Ivan? You're the real Stoneheart.
Chloe: Ugh. So, I'm the one who broke Sabrina's dad's arm, am I? Just because your footage of those lame superheroes was shown on TV doesn't mean you have to get so high and mighty.
Alya: You little…
Chloe: Look out, she's angry! She's going to split her underwear and turn into a huge muscly monster!
Adrien: (Walks in) Hey, Chloe!
Chloe: Adrikins! You Came!
Nathalie: (In the car) I'll handle it.
Marinette: (In the locker room with Ivan) You know, you should tell Mylene how you feel.
Ivan: I… don't know what you're talking about.
Marinette: Come on, I saw the way you look at her. No! No negative emotions, Ivan. What I mean is, be positive. I'm sure Mylene has feelings for you too. Go talk to her.
Ivan: I'm no good with words anyway.
Marinette: But…who needs words? You could draw her a picture, send her flowers…
Ivan: I could…write her a song?
Marinette: That's a great idea! What girl wouldn't want a love song written especially for her? Go for it, Ivan, and uh- stay positive.
"You know, there is a song that used to make me think about you M'lady." Adrien said with a smile. "Of course, this was before we were even considering becoming a couple. Before you even realized you started to fall for Chat."
"Oh yeah? How does it go?"
"Little kitty on a roof…"
Marinette's smile faltered.
"All alone…"
"No." she thought. "No this, this can't be happening."Flashbacks started in her mind. White. Nothing but white. "Chaton..." Tears started to well in her eyes.
"Without his lady." Adrien finished.
Everyone applauded at Adrien's singing, not knowing how good his voice was. When the applause died down, he looked over to Marinette to finish their conversation and he noticed she was gone.
"Where'd she go?" He got up and saw Bunnix point to the door. He thanked her and ran after his lady. "Marinette? Marinette where are you?" He heard sobbing from the room that they had met in earlier and walked in the door to find Marinette sitting in a corner, hands on her head sobbing. "M'lady? Was my singing that awful?" He smiled, trying to lighten the mood.
"No…no…" She could barely talk she was crying so hard. "I- I can't tell you. Not yet… I… I just worry… Now that we know…. What if it happens?"
"What if what happens?" He asked.
She looked up into his eyes, holding his glance. "You. What if you happen?"
"Marinette, what do you mean? I'm not going to do anything."
"No, I won't let it happen to you. I won't…. I… I can't…."
"Honey, you're not making any sense. Everybody is worried about you. Will you please tell me what's going on?"
"Adrien, I can't… You'll have to wait and see. I… I wouldn't be able to talk about it."
"You mean there's an episode about it?"
"Most likely, yes. Just like there is one of your situation."
"Well, yes, but at least you know what my situation is. You were there. But you're telling me that with yours I was there but… I don't remember?"
"You were... but you weren't. It's how I know Bunnix. Again, you just have to trust me on this. I can't talk about it. Not until you've seen it. Ok?"
"Ok… but remember, we're in this together. You and me, Bug-inette. You and I against the world. Pound it?"
"Pound it."
"Alright, are you ready to go back?"
"Not yet… will you sit with me?" Marinette asked, reaching her arms out to Adrien.
Adrien didn't say a word but kneeled down and sat with his girlfriend. It was in moments like this that reminded him how much he loved her. Even in her moments she was still strong and knew how to take control of a situation. She was so brave. He wanted to kiss her. He felt the need to, but didn't want to push his boundaries, especially in her emotional state. So instead, he slowly put his arm around her. She melted into his touch and pulled him closer.
"Marinette?"
"Hmm?"
"I love you so much." This emitted a blush from the blunette.
"I love you too kitty." She said tapping his nose. He blushed and pulled her in by her chin for a gentle kiss.
"Are you feeling better now love?"
"Yeah, let's go back." Marinette said. Adrien stood up and offered his hand to Marinette, who gladly accepted it, pulled her up and continue to pull her into his arms. He hooked his arm around her waist and they both walked back into the room.
"GIRL ARE YOU OK? I was worried sick, what happened?"
"Alya, I'm fine. I was just having a moment."
"A moment? A MOMENT? Girl, you literally ran out of the room in a panic."
"Alya, trust me, I'm fine. Please, let's just watch the show."
"Marinette? Do you want a hug?" Asked Rose.
"Sure Rose, I would love one." Rose came over and engulfed Marinette in a hug, which was joined by Juleka, Alya, Alix, and Mylene. Eventually Adrien motioned for the boys to join the hug too. Even Chloe came and joined the hug. Everyone was gathered in a group hug except for Lila, who had stayed back to "ice her wrist" which had been "re-sprained" in the fight with Chloe.
"Alright, we had better resume the episode, it's starting to get late. Once this episode is over, we're going to go to bed. There are dorm rooms for each couple, and for everybody who isn't a couple you guys can bunk with each other, girls in one room, boys in the other. Does this make sense?" asked Bunnix.
"Yes Ma'am." Came the chorus from the room.
"Alright, let's start."
Boy: Could I have your autograph, please?
Girl: Adrien, can I have an autograph, Adrien, I'm a huge fan!
Chloe: Wow. This is your seat, Adrikins. I saved it for you. Right in front of me!
Adrien: Thanks, Chloe. (Sees Nino) Uh… Hey! Adrien.
Nino: You're friends with Chloe then, huh?
Adrien: (Sees Chloe and Sabrina putting gum on a seat) Hey! What's that all about?
Chloe: The brats that sat here yesterday need a little attitude adjustment. I'm just commanding a bit of respect, that's all.
Adrien: You think that's really necessary?
Chloe: Ah, you've got a lot to learn about school culture, Adrikins. Watch the master.
Marinette: Alya, wouldn't you like to be a superhero and go out and fight monsters and villians?
Alya: Totally! I'm not scared of anyone! Why?
Marinette: Oh! No reason…. (puts the Miraculous case in Alya's bag and walks in to Miss Bustiers classroom and sees Adrien picking at the gum on her seat.) Hey! What are you doing?
Adrien: Uhhh… I…
(Chloe and Sabrina laugh)
Marinette: Okay. I get it. Good job, you three. Very funny.
Adrien: No. no, I was just trying to take this off!
Marinette: Oh, really?
(Chloe and Sabrina continue to laugh)
Marinette: You're friends with Chloe, right?
Adrien: Why do people keep saying that?
"Because Chloe was not very nice dude." Said Nino.
"Yeah, I realized that." Whispered back Adrien.
Chloe: Now do you see what I mean about respect?
Marinette: I know I've seen him somewhere before. (Sees images of Gabriel and Adrien Agreste on Alya's phone) Of course! He's the son of my fave fashion designer, Gabriel Agreste!
Alya: Daddy's boy, teen supermodel, and Chloe's buddy? Ha! Forget it.
Nino: Why didn't you tell them it was Chloes idea?
Adrien: I've known Chloe since I was a little kid. I know she's not perfect, but I can't throw her under the bus. She's like, my only friend.
Nino: I'm Nino, and it's time for you to make some new friends, dude.
(Scene: The locker room, at door to girls' bathroom)
Mylene: Oh no, I'm gonna be late. AHH! Ivan, you scared me.
Ivan: I made this for you. (Starts playing loud music and sings in a loud, shrill voice reading the lyrics of his song) Mylene, be serene, don't be so mean!
(Mylene runs away, scared. Ivan gets angry, wads up his lyric sheet, throws his music playing phone on the floor and steps on it, and sits down)
Hawk Moth: Yes. This is your second chance, Stoneheart, and this time you have extra help. No one will stop you from capturing the love of your life. Just remember, I'll need something in return.
(Scene: Classroom, Miss Bustier is checking her attendance.)
Miss Busiter: Agreste, Adrien?
Nino: (Quietly to Adrien) You say "present"
Adrien: (Jumps up with his hand raised) Uh, Present! (All the other students laugh; Adrien sits down and he and Nino do a fist-bump)
Miss Bustier: Bourgeois, Chloe?
Chloe: Present!
Miss Buster: Bruel, Ivan?
Stoneheart: (he bursts in the room) Present! Mylene? (He sees her and picks her up)
Mylene: Let go of me Ivan!
Stoneheart: I'm not Ivan anymore. I'm Stoneheart!
Mylene: Why are you doing this?
Stoneheart: So you and I can be together, Forever!
Chloe: (Calls her father on the phone) Daddy, the monster is back! (Stoneheart takes her with him; he breaks a wall and jumps out of the school)
Mylene: Put us down Ivan!
Alya: (To Marinette) Come on! Let's go follow him!
Marinette: Uh…. Oh, no. You go. I'm finding myself a safe place to hide.
Alya: Girl, you're gonna miss Ladybug in action!
Marinette: (Picks up Alya's bag and holds it out to Alya) You and Ladybug will both be better off without me.
Alya: If you say so!
Marinette: Wait, your bag!
Adrien: My first day of school and I don't even make it past roll call.
Plagg: A day off? Now that's what I'm talking about!
Adrien: Oh, no no no no. We've got homework to do. Plagg Claws out!
Chloe: You have no idea who you're dealing with. My daddy, the mayor will bring in the police, the army, the entire calvary!
Chat Noir: And don't forget the superheroes! (hits Stoneheart with his staff, but Stoneheart grows bigger) Oh no. My bad.
Chloe: Ugh. Super incompetent, you mean.
Stoneheart: Ugh! You wanted the Calvary? Well. Here it is! (The stone beings run amok and surround Chat Noir) Seize him!
Mylene: (To Chat Noir) Watch out! (Stoneheart walks off) Ivan! Where are we going?
Stoneheart: To deliver a message. Then we'll be brought together forever by a pretty black butterfly.
Chloe: Ugh. All this lovey-dovey stuff is making me sick.
Stoneheart: Don't worry, little monster. I'm going to take care of you too.
Chat Noir: If you can hear me Ladybug, I could use a little help!
Alya: What's she waiting for?
(Meanwhile, Marinette sees the stone beings. One of them knocks over a car and it is about to hit Alya, but Chat Noir throws his baton to save her. Alya gets trapped and a stone being captures Chat Noir)
Chat Noir: Let go, you rockhead.
Alya: HELP!
(Marinette again is suddenly filled with courage. She gets the case out of Alya's bag and puts on the Miraculous. Then, Tikki appears, happy to see Marinette again.)
Marinette: I think I need Ladybug
Tikki: I knew you'd come around!
Marinette: Well, I'm still not sure I'm up for this, but Alya's in danger. I can't sit back and do nothing. Tikki, Spots on!
Ladybug: (Ladybug pulls the car with her yo-yo and Alya is freed) You can't stay here, its too dangerous. Chat Noir! Extend it! Sorry I was late.
Chat Noir: M'lady, have I ever told you you turn my world upside down?
Ladybug: Oh you're quite the jokester, aren't you? But your comedic timing needs work. We gotta get out of here!
Chat Noir: Hey, aren't we going to take care of them?
Ladybug: No, if we wanna save them all, then we go to the source. That one!
Andre: I demand my daughters safe return!
Chloe: Daddy!
Stoneheart: You know what? You're welcome to her! Huh! (Throws Chloe)
Chloe: Help! I promise I'll be nice to everyone, say please and thank you all- (Ladybug catches her) I didn't promise.
"GIRL I BEG TO DIFFER. YOU LITERALLY JUST SAID I PROMISE!" Said Alya as she turned around to Chloe.
"Whatever Alya, I'm sorry… I guess." but even thought her words stuttered off, there was a genuine look of apology in her eyes.
The class went wide eyed in confusion. Chloe just apologized, in her own Chloe sort of way. Everyone was shocked. Too shocked to speak, so the episode continued to play.
Ladybug: What?
(Chloe hugs her father)
Andre: My little princess…
Roger: We're clear to attack!
Ladybug: Wait! No, don't attack them! You know it'll only make it worse!
Roger: I have a new plan, unlike you! Move aside and let the pros do their thing. You've already failed once!
Ladybug: …He's right you know. If I had captured Stoneheart's akuma the first time around. None of this would have happened! I knew I wasn't the right one for this job…
Chat Noir: No, he's wrong, because without you, she'd no longer be here. And because without us, they won't make it, and we'll prove that to them. Trust me on this. Okay?
Ladybug: Okay.
(Stoneheart coughs and spits out a swarm of akumas that form Hawk Moths face.)
Hawk Moth: People of Paris, listen carefully. I am Hawk Moth.
Ladybug and Chat Noir: Hawk Moth?
Hawk Moth: Ladybug, Chat Noir, give me the ladybug earrings and the cat ring now. You've done enough damage to these innocent people!
Ladybug: Nice try, Hawk Moth, but we know who the bad guy is. Let's not reverse the roles here. Without you, none of these innocent victims would be transformed into villains. Hawk Moth, no matter how long it takes, we will find you, and YOU will hand us YOUR miraculous! (jumps and uses her yo-yo) Time to de-evilize! (Uses her yo-yo to make Hawk Moth disappear by catching multiple akumas; Chat Noir and the others look at her astonished) Let me make this promise to you. No matter who wants to harm you, Ladybug and Chat Noir will do everything in our power to keep you safe! (Opens her yo-yo and a busload of purified butterflies come out; Marinette's parents and the students are thrilled)
Chat Noir: Wow… whoever she is beneath the mask, I love that girl.
"Are you telling me that you knew me for a day before you fell in love with me?" Asked Marinette as she smirked at Adrien who's face was slowly turning red.
"Well, Yeah, I mean look at you, you're amazing. Of course, I fell in love with you that soon."
"You're one to talk Marinette!" Came Alya from Marinette's other side. "I mean, you practically-"
"Let's just keep watching the episode Alya, I'm sure everything will be revealed." Interrupted Marinette, not wanting to bring up Adrien and her crazy crush on him yet.
Hawk Moth: Agh! That's the problem with superheroes, they're too…. Heroic! Stoneheart, they're trying to take your loved one away from you. You must snatch their miraculouses so they will be powerless against you!
Stoneheart: Okay, Hawk Moth.
Mylene: Help me!
Stoneheart: You'll never take Mylene from me! Come to me, my stone beings!
Chat Noir: We're surrounded! What do we do now? We can't attack him.
Ladybug: Yes, but we know where the Akuma is.
Chat Noir: In his clenched fist. The one he's holding Mylene with so…
Ladybug: So we know he's in love with her. That's it! We don't separate Stoneheart and Mylene. We bring them together! They're made for one another! It's just that they don't know it yet.
Chat Noir: Uh.. Not really following you, but I guess I better trust you. Something tells me that this is how it's going to be from here on out.
(Ladybug and Chat Noir go to the top of the Tower)
Mylene: Help! I'm Scared of heights!
Ladybug: Everything's going to be alright!
Chat Noir: How are you planning to get them closer than they already are?
Ladybug: By using our powers! LUCKY CHARM! A parachute? What am I supposed to do with this?
Chat Noir: You sure you know what you're doing?
Ladybug: We'll find out soon enough! His hand! Get ready! (She starts pulling his hand using her yo-yo and Mylene kisses Stoneheart. Stoneheart lets go of her. Mylene grabs on to his finger. Chat Noir grabs the akumatized paper, and hits it up with his staff. Ladybug grabs the paper, breaking it.)
Ladybug: HOME RUN! No more evil-doing for you, little Akuma. TIME TO DE-EVILIZE! (see's Stoneheart turning back into Ivan, falling down from the Tower; jumpsdown to rescue them) Chat Noir take care of Ivan!
Chat Noir: CATACLYSM! (Uses his cataclysm on the Eiffel Tower, making part of it fall. He slides on it and rescues Ivan. Ladybug rescues Mylene and captures the Akuma.)
Ladybug: Gotcha! (Pulls the parachute out, then releases the akuma, which turned into a normal butterfly) Bye-bye little butterfly. MIRACULOUS LADYBUG! (Throws the Lucky Charm into the air, its energy turning everything back to normal; the stone beings are turned back into people.
Chat Noir: Whoa, are you seeing what I'm seeing?
Ladybug: Yeah, it's beautiful and amazing. It's… uh… Miraculous!
Hawk Moth: This is just the beginning, Ladybug. You and Chat Noir may have won this battle, but I will win the war. I will get your Miraculouses. I will get the absolute power! And then my secret dream will come true!
Ladybug: (Talking to Mylene and Ivan) I think you two have things to talk about. Hm?
Ivan: Oh, uh…I…Uh…
Ladybug: Maybe it would help if you read the lyrics to Ivans song. (gives the paper to Mylene)
Mylene: (Reading the lyrics) Wow, it's really beautiful. It's a shame you can't hear them when you scream. I mean, when you sing.
Ivan: It was scary, wasn't it? Is that why you left? I'm sorry, I'll be gentle. (Mylene hugs Ivan)
Ladybug: Oh, they're so made for each other.
Chat Noir: Like us to. (Smirks and his Miraculous beeps)
Ladybug: Uh oh. You see that? Time to split. See you soon Chat Noir!
Chat Noir: Can't wait, M'lady. (Bows before he leaves)
(Scene, outside the School, Marinette and Alya are talking)
Alya: So, by the time I went to the Eiffel Tower, it was all over. I'm way bummed.
Marinette: Don't worry, you'll get your scoop eventually.
Alya: You're right. Next target: Ladybug, and exclusive interview!
Marinette: Ooh, sounds exciting.
Alya: Oh, wait! Even better: finding out who's really under that mask.
"Wow, I am stupid. My best friend was Ladybug. ALYA, YOUR BEST FRIEND IS LADYBUG. SHE'S STANDING RIGHT BESIDE YOU!"
"Alya, you can't hear yourself. This has already happened. Relax." Said Marinette.
Marinette: Uh-huh. Good luck with that one.
(Meanwhile, in the Agreste car, Gabriel is scolding Adrien via video.)
Gabriel: You have disobeyed me, Adrien. Take a look at that school.
Adrien: Yes father.
Gabriel: You will never, I say, never go back there again…
Adrien: Father, no… (He is still feeling down)
Gabriel: …Without your bodyguard. He will drop you off and pick you up every day. Nathalie has offered to organize you a new schedule. You'll be continuing your music, Chinese, and fencing classes and your photoshoots.
Adrien: Thank you, Nathalie. Thank you, Father!
Marinette: (About to sit down) No wait.
Chloe: Uhh… You're In the wrong seat. Go on, get lost!
Marinette: "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing"
Chloe: Umm. What's that supposed to mean?
Marinette: It means that I'm not putting up with your crud anymore, Chloe and neither is anyone else around here, so take your attitude and GO ON GET LOST! (all the other students laugh; Chloe takes Marinettes previous seat angrily.)
Alya: Good job!
(Adrien enters the classroom and he waves at Marinette but she turns away from him)
Nino: Dude you wanna make friends right? Well, go talk to Marinette. You know, about the chewing gum.
Adrien: But what should I say to her?
Nino: Just be yourself!
Scene: Outside, its raining
Adrien: Hey. (Marinette still ignores him; he opens his umbrella) I just wanted you to know that I was only trying to take the chewing gum off your seat. I swear. I've never been to school before. I've never had friends. It's all sort of new to me.
(He hands her his umbrella, and they share a brief eye contact through the exchange. Before the umbrella closes over Marinettes head, causing Adrien to laugh, resulting in Marinette smiling and laughing as well then he walks down the stairs.
Adrien: See you tomorrow.
Marinette: Uh… see you to… mo….tomo…..Haha! Whoa, why am I stammering?
Tikki: Hey! I think I might have an idea!
Plagg: First day of school and we already have two lovebirds.
Adrien: Whatever, She's just a friend…
A deafening face palm was heard throughout the theater.
"Are you kidding me Agreste? How many times have you said that sentence?" Asked Alix.
"Ummm… hehehe more than I would like to admit."
"Just a friend huh kitty?" asked Marinette in a sly tone.
"Oh boy, I'm scared now."
"As you should be Minou. I won't let you live that down." Adrien smiled at her comment, secretly loving the nicknames that she gave him.
Adrien: Whatever, she's just a friend. Oh…A friend… (Smiles and blushes then he enters the car and goes home. Marinette grabs her bag and goes home. Master Fu is watching them from the school entrance.)
Wayzz: Excellent choice, Master.
Master Fu: Those two are made for each other!

"Alright guys. That's the end of the episode. Does anybody have any questions before we check in for the night?" Asked Bunnix through a yawn.
"Um… yes actually. How is the sleeping arrangement working out?"
"Oh right, So each room has two beds. Just a basic set up, however, you can customize your room however you want, since this is an alternate dimension, you can do it however you want. It will be split up by gender unless you are in a relationship and you want to share a room with your partner. When I call our your names, I know your in a relationship with someone here and I'm asking if you'd like to share a room with your partner. Then afterwards we'll split up into pairs. Sounds good?" The class nodded. "Alright lets get started, Alya and Nino?"
"We'll share a room." Said Nino with a wink to his girlfriend.
"Alright, Rose and Juleka?"
"Do you want to share a room love?" asked Rose, Juleka nodded and Bunnix wrote their names down.
"Marc and Nathaniel?" The room kind of shifted a little shocked that they were actually a couple. Kim paid Alix $20 and Alix smirked triumphantly.
"Sure. What do you think Marc?" Nathaniel smirked at the tomato red faced boy. He just nodded and Nathaniel laughed and kissed him on the cheek.
"Ivan and Mylene?"
"Definitely." Almost giggled Mylene.
"And finally, our heroes Marinette and Adrien?"
"What do you think M'lady? I'm up for it if you are." He watched as Marinette's face turned red. "OfCourseIfYouDon'tWantToIUnderstand," he said very quickly.
Marinette quickly grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "It's ok Kitty. Of course I want to share a room with you." She smiled.
"Alright, so that's the couples. Now we've got the singles. I'll say a name and you can pick another person to be your roommate. Remember, keep it separated. Let's start with Kim."
"I'll take Max in my room. We're best buds."
"Alright, that leaves Luka by himself. I hope that's ok."
"That's just fine. I can practice my music in peace and serenity." He said with a soft smile.
"Alright, let's start with the girls. Chloe?"
"I'll take Sabrina… Obviously." Replied Chloe with a flip of her hair.
"Alright, Lila?"
Lila looked at the two girls left, she hadn't really gotten to know Alix but she seemed annoying, and she looked like that Bunnix girl and she didn't want to deal with that. On the other hand, that Kagami chick was kind of a bitch and she didn't want to deal with her either.
"I'll take Alix." Alix audibly groaned and stood next to Lila.
"Alright, well Kagami that leaves you by yourself."
"That's alright. I like quiet." Replied Kagami, looking happy at the fact that she wasn't with Lila.
"Alright. Well, now that that's settled, we're going to go over some ground rules. Let's keep it PG-13 in the bedrooms please." All the couples faces turned red. "We don't have a curfew, but quiet time is in affect from 11-6:30 so please adhere to that. Food is allowed in the rooms, just please clean after yourselves. Any questions?" the teens just shook their heads. "Alright then, goodnight you guys. If you need me, I'm next door to the theater."
All the teens started to walk to their respective rooms when Alya spoke up.
"Hey, guys. It's only 9:30, why don't we hang out for a bit? A game of truth or dare?"
"I'm down. What about you guys?" Asked Adrien still walking hand in hand with Marinette. Everyone nodded hoping that they'd be able to get some answers from the heroes and maybe even the kwamis.
"Yeah, I'm down," Said Marinette "but first can I take a shower? It's been a long day and I really want to have a little time."
"Yeah girl! Alright, everyone meet in Nino and I's room in an hour. Get some food and drinks to stash in the middle and we'll play. Sounds good?"
A chorus of agreement went out from the group.
"Alright… Break!"
