(Welcome back to the original timeline!)

For the rest of the afternoon, we all split up and went home. When I got home, my cousins were watching TV. "I'm home!" I said, closing the door behind me. I took off my heels and sat on the couch with them.

"Hey. Tomorrow, my boss is having a charity gala. Since I am his assistant, I have to be there. He also mentions that I can bring a friend in case I get bored. Want to come with me? I would ask my co-workers, but they fake as hell. I asked this Marinette girl to watch her while we're out." She offered.

"Cool. I'll go. What time?" I asked.

"Around 8 p.m."

"Okay, after school, I'll go shopping."

"Good. I'm making Caldo de Pollo on the stove." She mentions.

"Yummy!"

The night came as we discussed tomorrow's plan until something came to mind. Lila said she'll be at this charity event a few days ago.

We fell asleep, but little Nali had a nightmare and slept on my bed. We woke up at a nice time of 7 am. She went to her room while I got dressed. I walked out of the house with my signature bag. I picked up Marinette and we made our way to school. Crowds formed around this one guy. We walked by him since this was a perfect time to go to class without someone pranking us. I sat down beside Mari and I told her about the event. My aunt promised $250 for this night to watch Anali for a few hours.

"Hey...do you think we can shop tomorrow? I really to change my closet and buy more fabric." Mari asked. I agreed. We made a fight bump and started to discuss other topics. I saw Lila and decided to play around.

"Hey, Lila." I smiled.

"What is it?" She looked at me.

"I heard you are coming to Mr. Masque's Charity Event. I hope to see you!"

"You're going?" She looked scared.

"Yeah, my cousin's boss wanted her to bring a friend in case she gets bored or she gets intoxicated." I devilishly grinned at her scared expression. "Hoped to see you there."

I walked to my seat. Ms. Bustiers came in to tell us that some guy named Ivan left and a new guy is taking his place. He steps in and I noticed how hot and elegant he is. This boy can wear a potato sack and still look hot. He notices me and gave me a handsome smile. I smiled while licking my lips.

"I am Alexander R. Masque, son of CEO Axel M. Masque. I am his heir to his company. I specialized in Spanish, English, German, and Italian. I am 17. I dislike liars, golddiggers, and my stepmother. However, I do enjoy helping others, money, and reading." He introduces himself. "And I am skilled at reading people."

"Thank you, Mr. Alexander. Your seat is right there." He points to where that one big guy sat. Lila immediately started to have her eyes on him. Adrien noticed and looked pissed. I chuckled to myself, ready to see that pathetic cunt fight for someone who can't even tell the truth for her life.

Classes pass and my lunch begins. Marinette is still in her art class while I got done with Economic Studies. I noticed the same dude. I walked down the stairs to see him giving me a devilish smile. I decide to play along.

"So...what brings you here, pretty boy?" I went in a circle around him. "You know, I heard someone was coming, but I didn't expect a handsome man."

"I didn't expect to see such a playful beauty such as yourself." He lifted my chin with his right hand.

"Take a good look. I'm not like this. I'm only playing your game, hot stuff." I winked. "I noticed how you looked at me like I was prey."

"I couldn't help it. You looked so beautiful and gorgeous. I'm surprised no one has come for you yet." He wrapped his other arm around my waist. I laid a hand on his chest. I pushed him away.

"Hehe. Not so soon, pretty boy. Want me? Then earn my trust and affection, playboy." I said, walking to Marinette's class. Mari came out and we decided to chill on the steps outside the school. I gave her a packed lunch and I ate mine. We were enjoying our meal until we heard loud crashes. A monster formed and started to wreak havoc. Mari and I looked at each other and ran to the nearest bathroom.

"Tikki spots on!" She transforms into her superhero form.

"Lyox, roar!" I went through my own transformation. We looked sick. We exited the bathroom and began to fight the monster. Then a dark figure emerged, but it felt different. We saw a brand new Chat Noir emerge. He had slicked back, dark brown hair. His eyes were a goldish-yellow hue. His figure was a bit buffed, but it wasn't too much. His butt looked nice too. He started to take a few swings at the monster, but the monster wasn't any pansy fuck. I came in and scratched the Akuma's back, causing their attention on me. We fought and Ladybug came up with a plan.

It ended with my power move freezing it in its place and the new kitty using its cataclysm. After that fight, reporters flocked in.

"Ladybug! Ladybug! Who are your new partners?" One asked.

"Let them introduce themselves."

"I'm Leona, the Lion hero," I said in a low, sultry tone. The man stepped forward.

"From the giver, the previous Chat Noir was corrupted and cruel. I come to take the stage as Midnight." He says.

"Midnight, Leona. How were you able to become heroes?"

"From Ladybug and her mentor." Midnight answered.

"Leona...how old are you?" Someone asked.

"Secret," I answered. The beeping continues.

"We have to go," Ladybug says. We agreed and left to an empty alleyway. We untransformed and walked out. I saw the time and we rushed to class. Since I was in the back, I snuck in a snack and quietly ate it. I threw away the evidence and continued my schoolwork. I felt eyes on me, but not in a hateful way...more of a lusting gaze. Like a frat boy to a cold beer bottle...or Kira to Mona Lisa's hands.

The day went on. Mari and I went to a shop nearby to see a sale going on. There was one that caught my eye. It was a gorgeous gown that matched my personality with accessories that went with the color schemes.

"I better get ready, this thing is at 8. Thank you, Mari, for shopping." I gave her a small smile.

"No problem, see you on Monday!" She waves at me.

This day wasn't so bad. I met such a character today, but he has to play my game.

(I added this boy to replace Chat Noir and to give some "loving")
