Hey, guys. Welcome to the new chapter of The Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug, Chat Noir, White Loup, Bunnix! Man, you guys have NO IDEA how long I wanted to make a chapter of this episode because, while I do like this episode, there was a lot of things sprinkled throughout the episode that bothered me a lot, so I was happy to fix the little nitpicks I had with the Copycat episode...anyway, I don't own anything except for my OC'S, and I hope that you guys enjoy the chapter.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
~{The Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug, Chat Noir, White Loup, & Bunnix Theme Song!}~
In the daytime, I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng
Just a normal girl with a normal life
A smiling Marinette Dupain-Cheng could be seen sitting inside of her room, near her sewing machine as the black-haired teenager hums softly under her breath and finished creating her latest creation, which was a brand new jacket for her father to use as she whirled around to face her parents, who were standing in front of her as Tom eagerly took the jacket and puts it on while a smiling Sabine walks over to kiss her daughter on her forehead as Marinette beams.
During the day, I'm Douglass Dupain-Cheng
Just a typical teenage boy, trying to do some good to the world
Douglass Dupain-Cheng hums joyfully as the young teen could be seen walking down the sidewalk of a park and was listening to some music on his Airpods as Douglass then spotted something that made him pause and raise an eyebrow as he saw a little girl standing by the tree and was currently trying to grab her little kitty who had climbed up it as she jumped up and down. Taking off his Airpods, Douglass was quick to walk over to help out the little girl by climbing up the tree and grabbing onto the little cat as the black-haired boy climbs down and handed the little creature over to the little girl, who beamed happily as she gave her thanks to nice stranger and Douglass smiled down at her warmly as he rubs her hair playfully.
At daytime, I'm Adrien Agreste
Just the son of a fashion designer, living a not-so-normal life
Adrien Agreste could be seen posing for his photographer as his father's employee used his cameras to snap a lot of pictures of him and the blonde-haired boy tried this best to smile as brightly as he can and pose elegantly as Natalie and Gorilla stood a few feet away with them with the young woman holding onto a small silver tablet that showed a stern-looking Gabriel on screen as the older man nodded in satisfaction of his son's actions.
Around the day, I'm Alix Kubdel
Just an awesome girl, who has a kick-ass life
Smirking cockily, Alix Kubdel could be seen riding down the streets of Paris on her skateboard while zooming past numerous surprised, annoyed citizens as the pink-haired girl spotted Katherine walking across the sidewalk and was distracted by her phone as the blonde-haired girl was walking near a mudpuddle. Grinning slyly, an idea popped into her head as Alix was quick to ride over to her rival and rode through the mud puddle, splashing the disgusting liquid onto a surprised, squealing Katherine as Alix waved at her cheekily and Chloe's little sister startled expression was replaced with a more enraged one as Katherine started cursing at her archenemy and Alix responded by sticking her tongue out at her playfully before riding off with a laugh as a furious Katherine chases after her.
But there's something about us that no one knows yet because we have a secret
A glaring Hawkmoth could be seen standing on top of the Eiffel Tower with a group of his Akumatized Villains forming around him as the powerful Miraculous Supervillain raised his magic cane and point it in front of him, commanding his minions to charge forwards as the Akumatized Villains let out loud battle cries and ran ahead to wreak some havoc on the city of Paris.
We're all a part of the famous Paris Superhero Team, The Miracu-League!
Citizens of Paris screamed in fear as they ran away from the army of supervillains that were causing destruction and mayhem on their fair city by wrecking buildings and hurting innocent people as, above them, we could see four familiar teenagers standing on top of a tall building, who frowned seriously at the sight of the senseless danger and evilness in front of them as they narrowed their eyes furiously. Turning to each other, the group shared determined smirks as their Kwamis; Tiki, Plagg, Lupus, and Fluff; flew out of their hiding spots and appeared above the teenagers as Marinette then reaches out to grab Adrien's hand as the blonde-haired boy flashed her a grin and the black-haired girl flushes in embarrassment as Alix shyly grabbed Douglass's hand and smiled up at him warmly as the black-haired boy did the same and squeezes her hand tightly.
After their little moment was over, the Miracu-League then turned to face the army of Akumatized villains and glared at them as the young teenagers runs forwards, and Douglass and the others proceeds to scream out their respective Miraculouses Activation Phrases as the Miracu-League slowly morphed into their Miraculous Superforms with a flash of pink/green/blue/white light. Once their flashy transformation sequences were done, the superhero team summoned their weapons and claws and leaped up into the air as all of the teenagers began falling down towards the hordes of Akumatized Minions and let out loud battle cries as they crashes against the crowd of bad guys and the Miracu-League started beating them up left and right as Hawkmoth watched on with a glare on his face.
[Marinette and Douglass]
I live a life that's full of fun
That keeps me sharp and on the run
Panting lightly, a nervous Marinette could be seen running towards school as she ran into the building and swiftly made her way to her classroom as Marinette pokes her head and saw that her teacher Miss Bustier was teaching her students, completely oblivious to the tardy student sneaking her way into the class as Marinette quietly walked over to her seat and sat down next to a smiling Alya as both girls shared a high-five for the young Baker Girl being able to make it to class without getting in trouble for getting to class late...only for Miss Bustier to nonchalantly scold her student for her tardiness and told her that she has detention as Marinette groans loudly and smacked her head against her desk as Alya gave her a comforting pat on the back.
My world is great, my life is good
Not much to complain about, even if I could
A determined Douglass could be seen poking his head from out a table as he could see his mother Sabine, as usual, cooking some delicious treats and taking out a tray filled with chocolate chip cookies as she then placed it on the table from where her son was hiding behind and walks off to talk with her husband. Poking his body out from his hiding spot, an awed Douglass could be seen looking down at the tray of cookies with his mouth watering in delight as he reaches out to grab a cookie before yelping in pain as his frowning mother appeared out of nowhere and whacks his hand with a rolling ping as Sabine glared at her son sternly. Douglass smiled at her sheepishly and raised his hands in surrender as Sabine huffed and rolled her eyes at her son's antics before smiling softly as she grabs one of her cookies and handed it over to Douglass, who smiled brightly as he quickly eats it and leans down to kiss his mother on her cheek as Sabine smiled at her only son warmly.
When evil comes, we find a way
To use our Luck Charm and Lunar Blessing to save the day!
Several Akumatized Villains stood in front of Ladybug and White Loup, who narrowed their eyes at them as Marinette was quick to summon her Lucky Charm, and it created a ladybug-colored megaphone for her as Ladybug raises an eyebrow down at it confusedly before an idea popped into her head as she grinned and handed the megaphone over to White Loup as the black-haired girl was quick to explain her idea to her brother, who smirked widely as Douglass grabbed onto the megaphone and swiftly summoned his superpower Lunar Blessing as he took a deep breath and roared as White Loup fired big white soundwaves through the megaphone and it amplified his sonic howl as huge white sound waves rang out of the Lucky Charmed Object and impacted against the surprised supervillains as they were sent flying away.
Uh-uh-oh
Life's got me spinning around
A smiling Ladybug soared through the sky while traveling across Paris with the help of her trusty yo-yo as Marinette then pulled herself up into the air with the sun shining behind her as she cheered loudly.
Uh-uh-oh
I'm ready to show the world my claws
Running up the Le Grand Hotel with the help of his claws, White Loup could be seen climbing up the extremely tall building as he reaches the top and grunted as Douglass pushes himself off from the hotel and begins falling down from the sky at high speeds as White Loup smirked excitedly and cheered as he continued freefalling from the sky.
Uh-uh-oh
And when the sun goes down,
We're going to show Hawkmoth who's the boss!
Glaring seriously, Ladybug and White Loup could be seen running towards Hawkmoth, who glared back at him as he moved in to attack the costumed teenagers but was stopped by Marinette as the young teen grunted and threw her yo-yo in front of her as it wrapped around the supervillain's body and tied him up as she then pulled him forwards, and a smirking Douglass was quick to run over to the surprised villain as he leaped up and slashed Hawkmoth across his face as Gabriel let out an agonizing scream.
[Adrien and Alix]
They look at me and think I'm cool
I'm Chat Noir, and at night I rule
A grinning Chat Noir could be seen jumping through the rooftops at night with a crowd of people, specifically teenage girls, screamed at the sight of him excitedly as Adrien winked at the group below him playfully before pulling out his staff as he slammed it on the ground and extended it as a laughing Chat Noir was sent flying upwards with his fans cheering him on as the moon shines down on the handsome blonde-haired costumed teen.
I see the past, I see the present, and I see the future
Traveling through time might seem brash, but I can't help it. It seems like a fun adventure
An excited Bunnix could be seen traveling through time thanks to the help of one of her Burrow portals as Alix looks left and right and saw brief visions of the past like the Dinosaur Era where the pink-haired girl saw a giant T-Rex roaring in victory after defeating triceratops, the present where it shows the Miracu-League fighting against the current Akumatized Supervillain, and the future as Bunnix was surprised to see a future version of herself standing inside of a large house and was currently rocking a baby girl in her arms as a future version of Douglass appeared and proceeds to hug his beautiful wife as Future Alix smiles warmly and leans up to kiss him as her husband kissed her back before both adults giggled in amusement as the rest of their six children appeared and ran over to hug their parents as Future Alix and Douglass shared loving smiles and chuckled as present Alix blushes in embarrassment and shock by what she sees as the pink-haired girl looks down with a little shy smile on her face.
My ring and pocket watch are charged with energy.
We're going to use our Cataclysm and Burrow powers to kick some ass; just watch and see.
Chat Noir and Bunnix could be seen standing in the middle of a crowd of Akumatized Minions as Adrien whacked away a bad guy with his staff while Alix smacked her umbrella against a villain's face as both Miraculous Users realized that they were being overwhelmed and shared a look as an idea appeared onto their faces and both teens shared a mischievous grin as Bunnix quickly summoned her superpower and created multiple small Burrow portals around them. Summoning his superpower, Chat Noir held out his ringed hand and fired several small Cataclysm blasts through the portals as they all disappeared before and, after a few seconds of waiting, all of them appeared beside the stunned villainous army as the powerful yet small destruction projectiles collided against them and quickly incapacitated them out of the fight as Adrien and Alix shared a high five.
Uh-uh-oh
You may think that I'm a fool, but I will show you who's the tool
Letting out a loud battle cry, Chat Noir fell down from the sky as he twirled around his extended staff that was infused with his Cataclysm energy as the blonde-haired teen then slammed his weapon against a heavily armored supervillain and a big black shockwave rang out as his battle suit was instantly reduced to dust.
Uh-uh-oh
I may be small and kind of cute, but make no mistake, if you underestimate me, I'm going to kick your ass with my foot!
A glaring Bunnix could be seen standing in front of a large Akumatized Villain, who was bewildered by the sheer fact that something as tiny and adorable as Alix decided to walk up to him and challenge the larger villain to a fight as he proceeds to laugh loudly at this in amusement and pointed down at her mockingly, not taking her seriously at all as he continued laughing. Growling at this furiously, Bunnix swiftly summoned her umbrella and held it up like a baseball bat as the pink-haired teen then strikes the distracted villain in between his legs with her weapon, causing him to cry out like a little girl as he held onto his privates and fell down onto the floor while groaning in pain as a smirking Alix casually placed her umbrella over her shoulders and gave a peace sign to the readers as Bunnix winks at them playfully.
Uh-uh-oh
And when the moon is out
We're going to defeat Hawkmoth without a shadow of a doubt!
Hawkmoth glares over at Chat Noir and Bunnix threateningly as the duo dropped into battle poses with their weapons out before charging at the older Miraculous User as Adrien swung his staff at the moth-themed supervillain while Alix tried to give him an upper handed whack with her umbrella as Hawkmoth, however, nonchalantly reaches out his arms to grab onto the cat/bunny-themed superheroes weapons with ease as he glared at the shocked teens. Reacting quickly, Bunnix summoned his Burrow superpowers and created a time portal under Hawkmoth as the surprised supervillain fell down through it and another time portal appeared above the teenagers as a screaming Gabriel fell through the air, and a smirking Chat Noir was quick to slam his staff onto the floor as he extended it and was sent flying up to the air as Adrien summoned his superpower and raised his ringed hand as he proceeded to deliver a mighty Cataclysm punch across Hawkmoth's stomach and the supervillain screamed out in pain as he was sent flying away.
[All of the Miracu-League]
Miracu-League! Simply the best!
Up to the test when things go wrong!
Back at the big fight from earlier, we see the Miracu-League still engaging in a thrilling, epic, and dangerous fight against Hawkmoth and his army of supervillains with the various civilians of Paris like Alya, Duncan, Nino, Chloe, Katherine, and others cheering them on as a smirking Ladybug whacked away Volpina with her yo-yo, a glaring Chat Noir slammed his staff against one of Titania's eyes, a laughing White Loup slashed Stormy Weather across her chest, and a grinning Bunnix delivering a mighty kick across Timetagger's face as the superhero team continued fighting against Hawkmoth and his forces of evil.
Miracu-League! The miraculous!
The power of our love is always so strong!
Miracu-League!
After defeating their archenemy and his army of supervillains, the Miracu-League could be seen standing in the middle of the battlefield that was covered with large rubble, blocking them from outside view as Hawkmoth vowed vengeance against the Miracu-League before turning around to run away as the Miraculous Users sighed in relief due to being exhausted from the long battle and also because their Miraculouses are about to lose their power. Once they all caught their breath, a sly Chat Noir then turned to Ladybug and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as he moves over to kiss her, only for a giggling Ladybug to move out of the way of his lips just as they transformed back into their civilian forms as Adrien saw this and pouted as Marinette rolled her eyes at her boyfriend's antics before moving over to kiss him on the cheek as Adrien perks up at this and grabbed onto her waist as the blonde-haired teen twirled her around, and the young Baker Girl laughed giddy at this as Tiki cooed at this in delight and Plagg gagged in disgust but was secretly happy for his holder's happiness.
Stretching a bit to loosen up their muscles, White Loup and Bunnix then noticed how close they were as both teens blushed lightly while giving each other small smiles as Douglass then grins slyly and reaches out to grab Alix's waist as he brought her closer to him, causing her to chuckle shyly as the pink-haired girl glances up to stare into her boyfriend's eyes and smiled warmly as Alix stood up in her tippy toes and gave Douglass a kiss, which he was happy to share as both teens held onto each other closely just as their transformations were over as both of them reverted back into their civilian forms, but both Douglass and Alix didn't notice this as they continued making out with Lupus cheering on for his holder as Fluff giggled.
We then see all of the Miracu-League Members, which include; Ladybug, White Loup, Chat Noir, and Bunnix; running across a multi-colored area with their Kwamis Tiki, Lupus, Plagg, and Fluff flying beside them as the little magical creatures then flew ahead and phased into the Miracu-Box as it closed up and shows a smiling Master Fu glancing down at the Miracu-League and bows to them in appreciation, proud of their progress of being heroes as Marinette and Adrien shared a smile and a kiss while the others cheered and high five each other as a mischievous Alix then jumped onto a surprised Douglass and tackled him onto the floor as she showered him with multiple kisses as the final image then shows the title of the story, The Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug, Chat Noir, White Loup, & Bunnix!
~{The Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug, Chat Noir, White Loup, & Bunnix Theme Song Over!}~
"Alright, guys, I need your help in figuring out where to take Adrien out for our date." A serious Marinette says as we see she, Douglass, and Alix sitting around in the Dupain-Cheng Residence Balcony with their Kwamis floating around them as Douglass eyes widened at what his sister said in shock.
"Wait, hold up, you were able to ask Adrien out on a date?!"
"Without looking like a complete idiot either!?" An equally surprised Alix says somewhat mockingly as Marinette briefly glared at what the pink-haired teenage girl says before sweatdropping as she looks away awkwardly.
"W-Well, I haven't asked out Adrien on a date yet, but I'm planning to do it today. The problem is that I don't know where should I take Adrien for our date. Any of you got any suggestions?" Marinette asked hopefully as Tiki raised her hand. "Yes, Tiki, what's your idea?"
"How about inviting him to a movie then?"
"Movie sounds good." Lupus says, agreeing with what the Kwami of Creation says as Marinette beams and clapped her hands together excitedly.
"That's a perfect idea, Tiki! Now, I just need to find a way to talk with Adrien without sounding so...so..."
"Marinette?" Douglass, Alix, Tiki, Lupus, and Fluff all asked teasingly in unison as Marinette nodded sheepishly with a groan as she leans back against her seat.
"Exactly. Look, guys, I know that I may act silly around Adrien, but I can't help it! Every time I see him, I get all clammy, and I feel like fainting." Marinette says while glancing out in the sky as she sees an image of Adrien in the clouds and sighs lovingly with a blush.
"Well, there's a very simple solution then. Why don't I go and talk with Adrien and ask him out for you?" Douglass suggested as Marinette's face blanched and immediately raised her hands as she shakes her head.
"No, no, you can't do that for me, Douglass! That will be so embarrassing having my little brother ask out my crush for me! We just have to come up with another way for me to ask out Adrien without acting like-,"
"Hey, Adrien, would you like to gah, wuh, blah, gah, glah!" Douglass and the others said, imitating how Marinette usually talks to Adrien as the black-haired girl sweatdrops at her friends' behavior.
"Yeah, that..."
"How about you ask him out while blindfolded? That way, you won't embarrass yourself while your talking with Adrien." Fluff suggested.
"Will that work?" A curious Marinette asked as Fluff nodded.
"Yep, I have seen thousands of possible timelines where you ask out Adrien that way and 98% of them you failed to ask him out and made a fool of yourself in public, but there is at least a 2% chance that Adrien will find your antics endering and agreed to the date." Fluff stated cheerfully as Marinette groans and placed her head on her hands as Tiki flew over to place her hand on the teen's shoulders reassuringly.
"Don't worry, Marinette, I have a plan that will help you ask out Adrien without getting tongue-tied. Just call Adrien on his phone." Tiki asked, causing Marinette to perk up as she beamed happily.
"That's an excellent idea, Tiki! Now, I just need his number! I wonder how will I get it?"
"We have Adrien's phone number." Douglass and Alix said in unison casually as Marinette slowly turned to them robotically in disbelief/shock.
"What?! You have Adrien's phone number!? Why didn't you two ever told me about it?!"
"Well, first, Adrien gave us his number a couple of days ago during the whole Timetagger incident." Alix explained with a somewhat somber tone as everyone froze and remained quiet for a bit as the whole 'Alix getting akumatized into Timetagger' is still a sore subject to talk about among the Miracu-League.
"A-Anyway, second, can you tell me honestly that you would've got the guts to use his phone number to call him in the first place?" Douglass asked with a knowing raised eyebrow as Marinette opened her mouth...before closing it as she sighed heavily.
"Touche." Marinette says with a pout before growing excited as Douglass pulled out his phone and handed it over to her as Marinette was quick to copy her crush's phone numbers into her phone. Meanwhile, near the Dupain-Cheng House, we see a huge crowd of people forming around in the Place des Vosges Park, eagerly awaiting the unveiling of the new Miracu-League statue that all of the citizens of Paris wanted to give them for all of the good they have done to the city for the last couple of months.
"I'm sure you've outdone yourself, Théo." Major Andre says to the nervous adult man beside him as we see both men standing in a large stadium with a huge statue placed behind him as it was covered by a giant sheet.
The adult man is a 5'8-feet-tall, 18-year-old male with moderate tangelo eyes, dark brunette brown hair tied up in a bun at the back of his head, a big nose, a sharp chin, a soul patch, a slender build, light skin, and his outfit consists of a long-sleeved black dress jacket with a purple shirt underneath, dark gray dress pants, and black laced-up work boots with buckles around the knees. His name is Theo Barbot, an artist, and a sculptor as he is also a big fan of the Miracu-League, especially Ladybug as he seems to have a crush on her...which is really creepy when you think about it since he's older than her by five years. {N/A: Yes, I know that Theo's age is in between sixteen or eighteen but, even if I de-age him to be sixteen, his crush on Ladybug will still be incredibly weird and wrong, so I decided to have him be eighteen since I can't see the Major of Paris hiring a teenager to build the statue for the Miracu-League}
"It was my honor, sir, and I can't wait to meet Ladybug. I hope she'll autograph the photo I used as the inspiration for the statue." Theo says while pulling out a ripped-up news article of the Miracu-League, stopping some robbers as Theo stared at the frozen picture of a smirking Ladybug lovingly.
"Uh, how old are you again, Theo?"
"18, why?" Theo asked cluelessly as Andre sweatdropped awkwardly, feeling weirded out that a grown man was crushing over an obviously teenaged superheroine as Andre coughed and looked away.
"N-nothing, anyway, it's nearly time for the ceremony. I wonder where the Miracu-League are?" Andre asked impatiently/curiously as he looked around for our beloved heroes.
"Oh, I'm sure she-I mean, they would come here. We have just have to wait a bit." Theo says while pulling out a cigar and lighting it up as he begins smoking.
"Marinette, you have been staring at Adrien's phone number for the past thirty minutes. Either you call him or not." A deadpanned, annoyed Douglass says while leaning against the balcony with his arms crossed as he and the others were getting bored of waiting for Marinette to gather up some guts to call her crush.
"G-Give me a break, okay! I will call him...just give me an hour or so to steel my nerves and-,"
"Click~," A grinning Alix says while reaching out to tap the call option on Adrien's name that was placed on Marinette's contact list as her phone begins to ring...and yes, before you ask, Marinette placed hearts near Adrien's name.
"Gack! Alix!" Marinette screeched angrily while panicking as she flailed around with her phone and nearly dropped it but was able to caught it in time just as her phone beeped as her call went into voicemail.
"Hey, this is Adrien's voicemail. Leave a message." Adrien's Voicemail Recorder says as a nervous Marinette turns to her brother and friends.
"It's gone to voicemail! what do I do?!"
"Leave a message!" Douglass and Alix whispered-hissed while giving Marinette a deadpanned 'Stop freaking out about this and simply leave a message where you ask him out, girl' look as the Kwamis flew over to the anxious teenage girl.
"Ask him to go to the movies." Tiki and Fluff reminded.
"And don't fumble in your words again like a bumbling idiot." Lupus suggested/insulted as Marinette gave him a flat, irritated look before taking a deep breath as she turned back to her phone.
"Uhh, hello. Uh, Adrien's voicemail."
"Oh, god, she's already screwing up." Douglass, Alix, and Lupus thought to themselves with multiple sweatdrops in their heads as Tiki and Fluff merely shake their heads in disappointment.
"Uh, this is Marinette, who, uh, has a message for you, of course, cause it's, uh, your phone, so, umm...he, he, he...callmeseeyoulater,bye!" A blushing Marinette yelled rapidly while standing up from her chair as she ran over to the trap door in her balcony and opened it as Marinette threw her phone down into her room, and it landed on her bed as she then slammed the door trap closed and turned back to the others, who were all giving her very blank, exasperated looks as Marinette blushes harder in embarrassment and groaned as she covers her face with her hands.
"What?! Don't look at me like that! What did you guys expect me to say? 'Hey, hot stuff, this is Marinette. I'd ask you on a date to a movie, but I've got such a massive crazy crush on you that I'm afraid that if I tried talking to you, I will either foam out the mouth or try to jump your bones, so I'm forced to talk to you through my stupid phone in fear that you will look at me like a hormonal crazy ass bitch!' Pretty ridiculous, right?" Marinette asked the group rhetorically with a raised eyebrow and a straight face as one of them was about to speak up but shut up as Marinette's Phone spoke up.
"If you wish to hear your message again, press 1. If you wish to erase your message, press 2."
"...AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I FORGOT TO HANG UP THE CALL!" A panicking Marinette screamed with a terrified expression on her face.
"GO DOWN THERE AND PRESS 2, QUICK!" Douglass commanded as Marinette nodded urgently while turning around to open the trap door as she literally lunges down for her phone and landed on her bed as a nervous Marinette grabbed onto her phone and pressed a button as everyone sighed in relief...but then panicked at what Marinette's phone said next.
"Message saved. Goodbye."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Marinette screamed in anguish and dismay as she then fell face-first into her pillow and begins crying as her worried brother jumped down through the trap door with Alix doing the same as their Kwamis simply flew down.
"Hey, hey, come on, Marinette, there's no need to be crying. The message wasn't as bad as you think."
"Really? I find that hard to believe since Marinette called Adrien hot stuff, revealed her crush to him, and told him that she wanted him to take her to poundtown. Its pretty bad, dude." Alix stated bluntly with Fluff and Lupus nodding in agreement as Marinette sobbed harder in her pillow.
"Thanks for saying that, Alix. That really helped us out." Douglass says with a thick mark on his head as Alix smiled at him sheepishly and laughed awkwardly as Douglass rolled his eyes before placing his hand on his sister's back as the black-haired teen rubbed it to calm her down.
"Look, Marinette, I know what you said to Adrien was...for the lack of a better word embarrassing, but what's done is done. We can't change the past no matter how much we want to, so we have to deal with the present...and no, Alix and Fluff will NOT use their Burrow powers for something as trivial as this. Their time powers are only use for extreme emergencies only." Tiki stated to Marinette sternly after seeing her perked up as she pouted and continued moping as Lupus rolled his eyes at this and scoffed as the Kwami of Sound flew over to Marinette's side.
"Okay, girl, look, there's no need for you to be so overdramatic. That Adrien guy hasn't answered his phone yet, right? This means that he is currently busy, and we can use this to our advantage by tracking him down, grabbing his phone, and deleting the message before he hears it. Problem solved." Lupus says as Marinette gasped at this in shock and smiled widely as she lifted her head up from her pillow.
"Lupus, that's a great idea!" Marinette says while leaping out of her bed in joy as she begins searching for something.
"I have to admit, but even I'm impressed by your idea, Lupus. Good job." Tiki praised as Lupus smirked smugly and crossed his arms.
"Heh, thanks, but now we have to figure out where Adrien is." Lupus says as Alix rolled her eyes at this and scoffed.
"Yeah, good luck with that, Mini Wolfy. Adrien's Dad gives him literally hundreds of activities to do per day. It will be literally impossible to figure out where could he be-,"
"He's in Fencing Class!" Marinette suddenly exclaimed as the group looked down, and they were surprised to see Marinette pulling in a large whiteboard from her closet with a large title in the front reading 'Adrien's Schedule' as it shows a heavily detailed schedule of Adrien's day-to-day life for the next two years. "Of course, now it makes sense why he didn't answer my call, and the good news is that the class ends in exactly twenty-two and a half minutes! This is great! While he's in class, we can swoop in, get his phone out of his locker, erase my embarrassing message, put his phone back in his locker, and then bam! Adrien will never know that I've got a crush on him, and I can keep my dignity intact! Come on, if we transform, we will be able to go to school in less than ten minutes! Let's go!" An excited Marinette says while turning around to run towards the trap door on the ground leading to downstairs as she opened it and was about to climb down the stairs, but stopped as Marinette noticed that the others haven't left from their spots yet. "Come on, guys, lets go! We're waisting time!"
"Marinette, before we leave, we need to have a serious talk right now." A serious Douglass says while climbing down from Marinette's bed as Alix followed shortly after him with the Kwamis flying down as Marinette raised a confused eyebrow at her brother and closes the trap door as she walked over to the group.
"Why? What's wrong?"
"What's this?" A disturbed Alix asked while pointing at the whiteboard as Marinette pursed her lips and crossed her arms.
"Oh, that? Yeah, that's my Adrien Schedule Whiteboard. Its basically this huge chart that I made where it shows a detailed list of all of Adrien's daily activities for the next two years." Marinette answered casually, as if owning your crush's schedule was a normal thing, as everyone stared at her flabbergasted. "What? Why is everyone looking at me like I'm a freak?" A puzzled Marinette asked as the teenagers and the Kwamis turned to each other in disbelief before turning back to Marinette as Douglass stepped forward.
"I'll handle this." Douglass says as he stared at Marinette with an emotionless look for a few seconds...and proceeds to slap his sister across the face several times as she yelped in pain and crawled her stinging cheek as a shocked Marinette turned to her little brother.
"Douglass, what the crap!? Why did you hit me?!"
"I hit you to knock some sense into you! I mean, what the hell Marinette?! What kind of creepy stalker shit is this!?" Douglass asked while pointing at Marinette's weird whiteboard of Adrien's schedule as Alix and the others nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, Dougglas is right. This is weird, Marinette. I know that you are obsessed with Adrien and stuff, but this...is a little bit too much for us." Alix says while crossing her arms as Marinette stared at everyone confusedly.
"W-What do you mean? How is me keeping a detailed schedule of everything that Adrien does from when he wakes up and goes to sleep is weird? Isn't that romantic?" Marinette asked as everyone stared at her with very deadpanned looks.
"No, it isn't, Marinette. I'm sorry, but what you are doing here is literally the opposite of romance." Tiki says with a concerned frown as her fellow Kwami's nodded.
"Yeah, and trust us, pigtails, each of us have met the Spirit of Love known as Cupid himself, so we know a little bit of romance, and this is definitely not it." Lupus says while flying away from Marinette a bit as he felt creeped out by her obsession with Adrien.
"Mari, for real talk, this is something that a seriel killer will do with their victims before he/she kills them." Fluff says with Marinette staring at the cute little Kwami in shock by her basically comparing her actions with a serial killer as the Baker Girl took a couple of steps back with an uneasy look on her face.
"I-I don't get it. I thought everyone who's in love does this. I mean, Douglass, Alix, don't you two have charts or something detailing each other's daily schedule?" Marinette asked the lovebirds, who were surprised that she would ask them that as Douglass pinches the bridge of his nose and sighed heavily while Alix simply shakes her head in pure disbelief at what Marinette clarifies as romance.
"Okay, look, even if we do like each other...that way, if I found out that Alix spied on me all day and created that creepy chart of yours, I will immediately call the police and place a restraining order on her."
"And if I found out that Douglass had legit stalked me enough to know my daily schedule, I will kick him in the nuts, call him a creep, and then proceed to beat him up for acting like such a freakish stalker pervert." Alix stated bluntly with a glare, surprising Marinette with their answers as she then bits her lip sheepishly and looks down with a shameful look on her face.
"I-Is what I did really that w-weird?"
"Are you for real asking us that?! Oh my god, how can you not understand this, Marinette! I thought you were a genius! Look, having the full schedule of a guy you liked placed on your whiteboard that was tucked inside of your closet is completely sick and wrong, Marinette! That is almost a stalker level of creepiness! First, putting up posters of Adrien all around our room, and now this! I mean, seriously, Marinette, why would you-Wait, a minute, I just realized something! We share the same room together, Mari! When did you have time to even make this without me knowing about it?!" A suspicious Douglass asked as an embarrassed Marinette reaches up to rub her neck nervously.
"R-Remember that one time that I had you and our parents go out and do something while I work on my 'secret project'?" Marinette asked quietly as Douglass nodded...before his eyes widened in realization as he knew where this conversation was going.
"Oh, god, Marinette, don't tell me that you-,"
"Sneaked over to Adrien's Limo while he was busy with his fencing classes as his father's assistant left her tablet inside, and I was able to locate Adrien's Full Schedule for the next two years, took a picture of it, and later created that whiteboard while you and the rest of our family were gone? Yeah, I did." Marinette admitted while blushing in shamed embarrassment as everyone stared at her with mild looks of surprise, revulsion, disappointment, and horror as Douglass shakes his head at this in stunned shock before walking over to Marinette's Whiteboard as he looked it over with a disapproving gaze.
"God, Marinette, I know that you love Adrien and everything, but this is literally insane! You have everything that Adrien will do for the next couple of years! From his Fencing classes, Chinese classes, Basketball classes...the time that he would wake up...eat his breakfast...when he uses the bathroom...how many times he chews his food...when he sleeps-Wait, something is wrong here. Why would his Father care how many times he chews his food or when he uses the bathroom? That seems rather bizarre. Either Mr. Agreste is really strict with his son's actions all day, or you...oh, god, seriously, Marinette? Don't tell me that you stalk him all day too?!" A disbelieving Douglass asked while turning to his sister, who was blushing heavily as everyone groaned at this.
"Is this why you won't carry me around certain days? To spy on Adrien?" A glaring Tiki asked Marinette, who nodded sheepishly as Alix gave her friend a scolding look.
"Marinette, you have issues that we desperately need to talk about, girl. No joke, I'm worried about your troubling behavior right now...oh, my god, I'm acting like my Dad, right now." Alix says with an annoyed groan, remembering her father saying that to her plenty of times in the past as Fluff flew over to pat the short teenaged girl's shoulder reassuringly.
"She's right, Mari. After we finish dealing with the whole message thing, you and I need to have a serious talk about respecting people's privacy. Your lucky that I don't tell our parents about this, but I won't since I love you. But if you try to pull this stalker shit again, I will talk to our parents about it and tell Adrien." Douglass stated with a firm, serious tone as Marinette's face paled in horror and shakily nodded as the group then began making their way downstairs.
"Ah, this is perfect. Adrien is doing his little fencing thing outside while I can just sit here and relax while I eat this delicious camembert. Life is great." A happy Plagg says while sitting inside of Adrien's locker in College Françoise Dupont school as he grabs onto one of the numerous camemberts littered across the locker and was about to it but yelped in surprise as Adrien's Phone below him begins vibrating.
"You have 1 new message." Adrien's Phone says as an annoyed Plagg proceeds to shut it off with his butt before biting onto his camembert as we zoom out of the Boys Locker Room and see Adrien, who was wearing his Fencing Gear, sparing against his opponent in the Gym as he was able to block his foe's lunge and proceeds to swiftly knocked him down on the ground as the blonde-haired handsome boy then held up his hand, signaling that he wanted to take a break as a smiling Adrien pulled up his mask.
"Gotta get a drink of water. I'll be right back." Adrien says as his sparring partner nods and watched as the male model made his way over to the Boys Locker Room as Adrien walked over to his locker and opened it as he gaged in disgust at the sight of Plagg sitting around with a pile of camembert crumbs littered around him. "Arghk, gross, Plagg! You pig! You were supposed to save those camembert for later when I needed to transform during the day!" An irritated Adrien says with a thick mark forming around in his forehead as Plagg simply smiles up at him innocently and burped.
"You have 1 new message." Plagg says as Adrien rolled his eyes at this and reached his hand inside of his locker as the blonde-haired handsome boy pushed Plagg away and grabbed onto his phone as Adrien raised an eyebrow at what he sees.
"Huh, weird, a voicemail from an unknown number. Better check it out to see what it is-Wait a minute, look at the time!" Adrien says before gasping in shock as he took a look at the time and realized that he was late for a very important date as Adrien turned to the Kwami of Destruction. "Crap, crap, crap, we're going to be late for the statue unveiling of the Miracu-League, Plagg! Its time to transform! Plagg! Claws Out!" Adrien screamed while taking his glove to reveal his ringed hand as a yelping Plagg's body was morphed into pure black energy, and was then whisked out of the locker as he was sucked into the Cat Miraculous, and Adrien was slowly transformed into his Miraculous Form Chat Noir after a flashy transformation sequence.
Ten minutes later, after transforming into their Miraculous Forms, we see White Loup and the others making their way out of the Dupain Cheng Residence as they walked out of the building through the door that leads to a secluded alleyway from where their food supplies get delivered too as they looked around and saw that no one was nearby as the trio shared a look and nodded as they were about to leap up to the rooftop to make their to their school but stopped as they spotted a cheering Chat Nour leaping above them. Shocked by the sudden appearance of their cat-themed teammates, the three Miracu-League Members ran over to peek their heads out from the alleyway as they were shocked to see Chat Noir landing in the stadium next to a shocked Andre and Theo in a cool superhero before standing up as he waved and greeted the crowd of screaming people before him.
"Oh, crap! We totally forgot about the statue unveiling of the Miracu-League! Great! What are we going to do now?! We can't be in two places at once!" A panicking Ladybug says while placing her hands in her face and groaning in frustration before beaming as an idea popped into her head, and Marinette proceeds to walk over to her teammates as she placed her hands on their shoulders. "Wait, I got it! Why not you two go to the ceremony while I go over to College Françoise Dupont?"
"But, Wonderbug, the Mayor and everyone else wants the whole Miracu-League to be there for the unveiling."
"Yeah, Mari, they're creating a statue for us in our honor. You can't just ditch it. That would be an incredibly rude thing to do." A frowning White Loup says as both he and Bunnix didn't agree with Ladybug's plan at all.
"Yeah, I know, but this is important too! I can't have Adrien hear that message at all costs! Look, just do this favor for me and tell everyone that I'm sick or something, and that's why I couldn't show up!"
"Lady-,"
"Thanks! I'm happy that you agree with my plan! Bye!" Ladybug says while pulling out her yo-yo as she swung it around before throwing it upwards as Marinette was whisked up into the sky.
"Ugh, no offense, Douggy, but your sisters antics sometimes aggravate me."
"Same, Alix, same." White Loup says as he and Bunnix sighed heavily before putting on their game faces as they grunted and leaped up onto the building in front of them as the Miraculous Users began scaling up it.
"E-Excuse me, Chat Noir, but Ladybug and the others aren't here yet. Where are they?" Theo asked concernedly to Chat Noir, who was still waving and greeting the crowd as the ceremony was about to begin but the rest of the Miracu-League hasn't shown up yet as Theo and Andre started getting worried.
"Don't worry about the rest of my teammates, buddy. I'm sure they'll be here any minute. I can handle this situation alone for now." Chat Noir says while grabbing onto his tail and started playing with it boredly as Theo glances down at his photo with wistful, somber eyes.
"Well, the reason that I'm worried its because that I wanted to ask Ladybug to autograph this photo. She's amazing. She's so brave and smart, the way she always saves everyone is truly astounding." Theo says with a warm blush on his face as he sighed softly with hears floating around him, not noticing Chat Noir staring at him with a jealous glare on his face.
"Hey, uh, Theo was it? How old are you?"
"18, why?" Theo asked as Chat Noir growled at this angrily, not liking that this grown man was crushing on someone that he cared about who seemed obviously close to his age as Adrien was about to speak up but was cut off by Andre as he pointed upwards.
"Hey, wait! I think I see them coming here right now!" Andre yelled as Chat Noir and Theo perked up as they looked up and saw White Loup and Bunnix popping their heads out from a nearby building as the Miraculous Users then did a big great leap over to the park and were able to land beside a smirking Chat Noir as Douglass and Alix waved at their cheering fans with friendly smiles on their faces.
"A little late to the party now, aren't you Muttboy and Cottontail?" Chat Noir asked his teammates cheekily as White Loup deadpanned at his new nickname while Bunnix simply cracked a grin at him.
"Uh, excuse me, Miracu-League, but where's your leader, Ladybug?" Theo asked while still smoking his cigar as the Miracu-League turned to raise an eyebrow at him confusedly.
"Uh, well, first of all, Ladybug isn't our leader. We're all equals in our team." White Loup says with the others mumbling in agreement as they were all getting sick of everybody assuming that Ladybug is the leader of their team when it's certainly not the case. "Second, Ladybug unfortunately couldn't come to the ceremony today due to...well...Ladybug is-,"
"On her period and have cramps!" Bunnix blurted out, saying the first thing that popped into her head as everyone slowly turned to her with flabbergasted looks on their faces as a blushing Andre coughed awkwardly.
"W-Well, if Ladybug is busy due to her...womanly needs, then let's commence the ceremony without her." Andre says with everyone, including a disappointed Theo, mumbling in agreement as the Mayor of Paris turned to address his people while Douglass turned smack Alix upside her head.
"Ladybug is on her period?! Seriously, Bunnix!? Couldn't you have come up with a better excuse?!" White Loup whispered-yelled to Bunnix, who gave him a sheepish smile and shrugged.
"Sorry, it just kind of popped into my head." Bunnix says as White Loup shakes his head in exasperation before he, Alix, and Adrien turned to face the crowd of excited people as the ceremony began. Meanwhile, with Ladybug, we see her finally arriving at College Françoise Dupont as she landed on the roof and peeks over the edge as Marinette saw that the Fencing Class was still going on but couldn't tell where was Adrien due to everyone wearing their masks as she decided to not think about it and pulled out her yo-yo as Ladybug tied it up against a pole and took a deep breath as she then leaped down from the roof and begins free-falling through the air as Marinette grabbed onto her yo-yo firmly and used her weapon to slow down the speed of her fall as the heroine landed on the ground with a soft grunt.
"Alright, good so far." Ladybug whispers to herself with a grin while glancing across the area as the young heroine was relieved to see that nobody had spotted her yet due to everyone being too busy with their class as Marinette sneakily made her way over to the Boys Locker Room and closed the door behind her as Ladybug looks around and smiled as she saw that there was no one else inside of the room. "Great, no one's here. Now, I'm able to snoop around for Adrien's Phone without anybody asking questions. Hmm, now, how do I which locker is Adrien's...oh, I know!" Marinette exclaimed with a grin while summoning another yo-yo as she opened it and began using the call function on her weapon to dial in Adrien's Number as a familiar ring rang out. "He, he, perfect!" A gleeful Ladybug says as she begins placing her eat against each locker to figure out where the ringing is coming from.
"It's only proper for Paris to pay homage to those who protect us from a great evil and, although one of them couldn't show up to the ceremony due to a rather...personal reason, I'm at least pleased to see that the other Miracu-League Members were able to show up for the unveiling of their new statue! Behold!" Andre exclaimed while walking over to grab onto the large sheet covering the statue under it as Andre grunted and was able to pull it off completely as it shows a bronzed statue of the whole Miracu-League, who were making cool superhero battle poses as it shows a determined Ladybug in the air with her yo-yo whirling around her as a confident Chat Noir could be seen placed beside her and had his batons out in his hands as a grinning White Loup was placed below them in a low crouch with his claws popped out as a smirking Bunnix stood beside him and had her umbrella placed in her hand.
"Come on...come on, where's the damn phone?!" An impatient Ladybug says while still searching for Adrien's ringing phone as she was able to eventually find his locker, only to groan in irritation as Marinette found out that it was locked. "Oh, great, it's locked! What am I supposed to do now?" Ladybug asked herself while placing her hand in her chin thoughtfully as a risky idea popped into her head. "Hmmm, that might work, but I'm pretty sure that Tiki will be pissed at me later...eh, that's future me's problem. Besides, this is an emergency. Lucky Charm!" Ladybug screamed while throwing up her yo-yo into the air as a swarm of ladybugs appeared, and it slowly created a-
"A stethoscope?" A confused Ladybug asked while grabbing onto a ladybug-themed stethoscope as Marinette then grew furious by this and glared up into the sky. "This isn't funny, Lucky Charm! Not funny at all!" Ladybug screamed before looking down at her Lucky-Charmed Object as she rolled her eyes and shrugs as Marinette puts on the stethoscope and begins using it to crack the password for Adrien's locker as, after a few minutes of trying, Ladybug was able to find Adrien's locker combinations and opened it as the Miraculous User instantly started looking around and was able to find Adrien's phone as she grinned.
"Ha, ha, yes! I guess today is my lucky day...ugh, I've been spending around Chatton too much." Ladybug says with a groan, annoyed with the pun she just made as Marinette then shakes her head and glances down at Adrien's Phone as she turned it on...and felt like she was going to scream angrily as Ladybug figured out that Adrien's Phone had a password lock. "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?! WHY AM I SO UNLUCKY TODAY!?"
"What was that?"
"I don't know, but it sounded like a girl."
"Let's go and check it out." Several voices rang outside of the Boys Locker Room as Ladybug flinched, and her eyes widen in horror as she realized that the Fencing Class was done, and all of the boys were coming over to change!
"Crap, crap, crap, what am I going to do?!" Ladybug asked herself nervously as she wasn't able to erase the message left and glances in between Andrien's phone and his locker as another risky idea popped into her head. "Oh, that idea might work, but Douglass and Alix are sooooooooooooooooooooooo going to be super pissed at me later...eh, once again, that's future me's problem. Besides, this is an emergency, and I'm a Superhero, so what I'm doing is technically not stealing. I'm simply just borrowing Adrien's phone to erase my embarrassing message, and I will return it to him later on. Yeah, that's it." An anxious, guilty-looking Ladybug says as she closes up Adrien's Locker and puts away his phone in one of her pockets as Marinette looks around and her Lucky Vision highlighted a nearby opened window as Ladybug beams and ran towards it as she leaped through the window just as the whole Fencing Class started making their way into the Boys Locker Room as a nervous Ladybug began making her way back towards her home.
"Wow, what an awesome statue." Duncan says to Nino and Alya excitedly as they all nod in agreement, and we see the three teenagers standing in the crowd to watch the unveiling of the statue with Alya, of course, recording the whole event for her to place in her Miracu-Blog later as she had the boys help her out by using their phones to record everything from different angles.
"Whoa, cool!" White Loup exclaimed in wonder and awe, loving the Miracu-League's new statue as Bunnix nodded in agreement while turning to smirk at Theo.
"Yeah, dude, you really went all out on this statue! I'm impressed!" Bunnix says while punching his shoulder playfully as Theo winced but smiled at what the Miraculous Users said in appreciation as he rubbed his arm.
"These statues are amazing, that I can agree on, but one thing's slightly off, though. I'm actually taller than Ladybug." Chat Noir says while pointing at the statue as they were able to see that Theo had accidentally made Ladybug a little bit taller than Chat Noir.
"Oh, sorry about that. I must've got your proportions wrong, but I'm at least grateful that you all love my statue regardless of that small erorror. I wish Ladybug would've shown up, though. I just wanted to express my adoration and love for her. Let her know that everything I had went into her statue. I'm sure if she took a little time to get to know me, she would see how much we have in common. Our devotion to the things we love." Theo says with a lovestruck look on his face as Chat Noir narrowed his eyes at this enviously while White Loup and Bunnix couldn't help but sweatdrop at what Theo said awkwardly as Douglass spoke up.
"Uh, sir, how old are you again?"
"18! Why does everyone keep asking me that?!" An annoyed Theo asked while throwing up his hands in exasperation.
"Gee, I wonder why." Bunnix stated sarcastically before leaning over to whisper into White Loup's ear. "Jesus, first Marinette, and now this guy? What is it with everyone and their creepy love for their crushes today?"
"I know, right?!" White Loup whispered with an incredulous look on his face as a green-eyed Chat Noir walked over to Theo and wrapped his arm around his shoulders with a mischievous smirk on his face.
"Hey, I don't mean to burst your bubble or whatever, but you know, Ladybug and me, we're a thing, you know?"
"Really?!" A shocked, disappointed Theo asked.
"Really!?" A surprised and angry Bunnix and White Loup says as they both looked unconvinced by what the cat-themed blonde superhero said as they were about to speak up but were cut off by Chat Noir as he nodded.
"Yeah, we're like this." Chat Noir says while crossing his fingers with a smug look on his face as a now angry Theo pushes him away and stalks with a growl.
"What does Ladybug see in him?" Theo asked himself furiously while turning to glare at Chat Noir, who waved at him goodbye mockingly as the sculptor huffed and walked out of the park as White Loup and Bunnix walked over to Chat Noir and both proceeds to smack upside his head.
"Ow! What was that for?!" A pouting Chat Noir asked while rubbing his bruised head as Bunnix raised an eyebrow at him in disbelief and White Loup simply glared at him with his arms crossed.
"You know what you did. I can't believe you, furball. Why would you just lie to a civilian like that and say that you and my sister are a couple? Especially to someone who has a crush on Ladybug. That's just low." White Loup says while shaking his head in disappointment as Chat Noir briefly looks down remorsefully before glaring as he glances back at Douglass with his arms crossed.
"And, what? Would you have preferred that guy to keep having his weird, pedophile crush on your sister?"
"...Well, no, but still, you were-,"
"Look, let's just deal with this another time, White Loup. With ceremony over, we now have to go back to the thing that we were doing earlier." Bunnix says while giving White Loup a pointed look as Douglas sighs but nods as he turned to give Adrien a scolding look.
"I will talk with Ladybug about this." White Loup stated sternly as Chat Noir flinched and sweated nervously as he nodded and watched as his teammates ran off, and Adrien sighs heavily before shaking his head as the blonde-haired Superhero turned around to make his way back to school.
"A thing, huh?" A pissed off Theo says while pacing around in his studio as he reached his desk where he saw the news article of the Miracu-League and smiled in adoration at the sight of a determined Ladybug, but then grows angry again by the sight of a confident Chat Noir as Theo turns his head and spotted one of the prototype stone statues of Chat Noir's heads as his whole body started feeling up with rage and sorrow. "You don't even take love seriously. Calling it a thing...you don't deserve her! I do!" Theo screamed while grabbing onto the statue of Chat Noir's head as he threw it against the wall, shattering it as Theo's sadness overwhelmed his fury, and he begins crying bitterly as the young man closed his tear-stained eyes.
"Disappointed by Ladybug's absence during the unveiling of the statue that took months to make and jealous of Chat Noir." Hawkmoth says softly while deep inside his lair as the window of the room opened up, and his butterflies sprang into life as they flew around him. "The perfect formula for disaster." Hawkmoth said with a malicious grin on his face as the supervillain reached down to grab a butterfly and smiles down at it evilly as he placed his hands over the butterfly and turned it into an Akuma. "Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize this bitter, jealous, broken-hearted man!" Hawkmoth screamed as the Akuma flies out of the window and flew across the city of Paris as it headed straight towards Theo's Studio and, after a few minutes of flying, it was finally able to arrive at the large building as the Akuma phased in and flew over into news article photo that a somber Theo was holding on to, covering it with sinisterly evil energy as the eighteen-year-old man stopped crying and stood up straight with a glare on his face as a glowing purple butterfly symbol appeared in front of his face.
"Hello, Copycat. I am Hawkmoth. Once you get rid of Chat Noir, you can take his place, and Ladybug will be yours forever." Hawkmoth says as Theo smirks evilly and nodded with a chuckle.
"The very thought of it makes me purr, Hawkmoth. That mangy alleycat doesn't deserve Ladybug's love! I'm the only man that a beautiful woman like her can truly love and adore! Once I take Chat Noir's place, Ladybug and I will fall in love, get married, and have lots of kids!"
"...Hey, real quick, how old are you again?"
"Oh my god, this again! I'm freaking eighteen! Why does everyone keep asking how old I am today?! I mean, seriously, I'm definitely old enough to date Ladybug, so what's the problem!?"
"...You know what? Just forget it." Hawkmoth says with a flat look on his face as Gabriel was rather...disturbed by Theo's love for Ladybug. Sure, he doesn't know how old Ladybug is exactly, but it was clearly obvious that she's below eighteen, and it seemed that Theo doesn't know that. If it was any other child, Hawkmoth would've immediately put a stop to this pedophilic mess, but since it was Ladybug that Theo was having a crush on, Gabriel decided to let this one slide since he doesn't really care what happens to Ladybug. "Anyway, do we have a deal, Copycat?"
"Yes we do, Hawkmoth." Theo says with a sinister grin while spreading out his hands as purple/black smoke started ejecting out from his news article photo and transformed him into an exact replica of Chat Noir as the newly named Copycat laughed evilly.
"Ugh, where is it? I know that I had it in here somewhere." An aggravated Adrien says as we fast forward in time and see the blonde-haired boy standing in his room as he was currently trying to search for his home in his Gym Bag. "Did you eat it?" Adrien asked Plagg, who was floating above him while eating camembert as he gave his Kwami an angry, accusing stare.
"No, I didn't! I swear!"
"Hmmm, yeah, right." Adrien says with an unconvincing tone before perking up as an idea popped into his head, and he reaches out to grab his house phone to call his phone.
"I can't believe that you use your superpower to break into Adrien's phone and steal his phone! For shame, Marinette! For shame!" Tiki stated furiously as we cue back to the Dupain-Cheng Residence and see the angry Kwami of Creation scolding her Holder, who was sitting in her bed with her Lucky-Charmed Object placed in her hands as Marinette shrinks down guiltily by her friend's words.
"Curse you, past me." Marinette mumbles under her breath before looking up at a glaring Tiki as she gave her a pleading look. "Please, Tiki, stop being angry at me. I know that what I did was wrong-,"
"Very wrong!"
"...but I had no choice! It was either leave the phone behind to have Adrien listen to my embarrassing message and think that I'm a creep-,"
"Which you are!"
"...or steal the phone so that I can erase my message here, so please, stop scolding me and help me try to figure out Adrien's password!" Marinette says while turning around to face Adrien's Phone that was placed below her as the Baker Girl hums thoughtfully and was about to try and come up with a plan to figure out Adrien's password, only to yelp in fear as her crush's phone started ringing and saw that the caller was the Agreste Home Phoneline as Marinette panics and scooted away from the ringing phone. "It's Adrien! He's looking for his phone! What if he tracks it?! Oh, no! What if Adrien figures out that I stole his phone?! I'll be arrested for grand theft! I'll spend the rest of my life in jail, my family will shun me, all of my friends will abandon me and move on with their lives, my little brother will disown me and not allow me to meet any of my nephews and nieces that he and Alix will inviability have in the future after they get married, and worse, I'll never get to go to the movies with Adrien!" Marinette ranted while collapsing on her bed as she sobbed hysterically.
"Oh, Marinette. You really need to get your priorities in order." Tiki says with a sweatdrop while flying over to rub Marinette's head to calm her down.
"Hey, this is Adrien's Voicemail. Leave a message." Adrien's Voicemail says, much to the teen model's annoyance, as he groaned and shook his head as Adrien hangs up the call.
"I couldn't hear it...ugh, I must've left my phone back at the Gym in school." Adrien says while putting away his house phone as Plagg finished eating his camembert and burped as he rubbed his satisfied tummy.
"So, what are you going to do, kid? Have Gorrila drive you there, so that can you look for it?"
"Hmmm, nah. I have a faster way to get to school." Adrien says while giving Plagg a mischievous grin as the Kwami sees this and quickly figured out what his teenage holder was planning as Plagg groans.
"Mmm mm mmm mm." Copycat hums while smoking from his cigar as he made his way through The Louvre with the civilians around him gasped in surprise/excitement at the sight of one of the Miracu-League Members strolling down the museum hall and started taking pictures/videos of him as Copycat smirks at the sight of them before stepping across the rope to steal the Mona Lisa. "Don't mind me. Just stealing this painting. Go about your business." Copycat says casually as he turned around and was about to leave but stopped as an angry/worried Alim and Jalil appeared out of nowhere as the Kubdel Men made their way over to the Akumatized Villain and the historian at the Louvre placed his hand on Copycat's shoulder.
"Hey, what are you doing stealing the Mona Lisa, Chat Noir?! Aren't you supposed to be a Superhero!? Why are you breaking the law?!"
"Because, I can, old man." Copycat answered cheekily before reaching out to grab Alim's as he proceeded to judo flipped him onto the floor.
"Hey! Leave my dad alone!" Jalil screamed as he rushed forwards to attack Copycat, only for him to nonchalantly pull out his staff and extend it as it strikes against Jalil's stomach and sends him flying a few feet away as Alix's older brother crashed landed on the groan and groans in pain.
"Damn, my phone is not here." Chat Noir says with a pout as we see the young blonde-haired Superhero standing on top of the roof of College Françoise Dupont, having spent a couple of minutes searching around for his phone but with no luck as Adrien sighs and was about to make his way back to his home, only to stop as his staff begins ringing, and the emerald-green teen pulled out his weapon as he opened it...and his eyes widened in shock as Chat Noir saw Nadja reporting the news with the title reading, 'SUPERHERO CHAT NOIR JUST STOLE THE MONA LISA!'.
"And in some astonishing news, there's been a spectacular theft at the Louvre. Amateur video showed without a shadow of a doubt that the thief is none other than one of the famous Miracu-League Members, Chat Noir, who had not only stole the Mona Lisa but asulted the Historian of Louvre Alim Kubdel, alongside his employee/son Jalil Kubdel." Nadja says grimly while showing the video footage of Copycat stealing the Mona Lisa and beating up the Kubdel Family as he smirked at the camera smugly.
"This painting is the cat's meow." Copycat punned while throwing his burnt-up cigar away as he waved at the camera cheekily before turning around to run off with the panting as Chat Noir gasped at his horrible pun in disgust/aghast and closes up his staff as Adrien glared seriously.
"Cat's meow? Not only is that person a fake, but he's also a terrible fake! If you're going to copy a handsome hero like me, then at least act the part and make better jokes...oh, and I should probably catch this guy and clear my name before everyone thinks that I really am a thief and get arrested." Chat Noir says the last part with a sweatdrop before leaping out of the roof off his school as he started making his way towards The Louvre.
"Ugh, I can't figure out what Adrien's password is?!" A frustrated Marinette says while sitting near her desk with Adrien's Phone in her hands as she had spent the next half hour trying to hack into her crush's phone but to no avail as she groans in irritation. "Its like he doesn't want anyone to get into his phone?!"
"Yeah, that's the purpose of a password lock, Marinette." Tiki answered blankly as her holder blushes in embarrassment and laughs awkwardly just as the trap door leading to her and Douglass's room opened up as her little brother and his friend climbed up into the room.
"They're you two are! Where have you guys been?! I've been trying to call you for half an hour now!" A frantic Marinette yelled while standing up from her seat as she turned to face her teammates.
"Well, sorry, but we've been a little bit busy with the ceremony of the unveiling of our statue and, when we were trying to leave the park, a horde of fans showed up, and we were forced to run away from them." White Loup says while shivering in fear at the memory of a horde of teenage fanatics trying to grab him and kiss him, and a few even asked him to outright marry him as the poor boy was thankfully saved by his best friend, who used her umbrella to push the crazed fangirls as they were able to use their superhuman agility and speed to evade the girls by climbing up to the rooftop. At first, White Loup thought that having a group of girls love him and cheer him on would be sweet, but after that horrifying near-death experience, the Miraculous User had quickly found out that having a group of girls adore and fight over him is not as fun as the movies make it seem and Douglass made a note to avoid fangirls at all costs if he wanted to keep his health.
"After that, we got held up with a group of thugs trying to rop a bank, but don't worry, White Loup and Bunnix were able to take them down and bring them to the police. It was actually pretty funny when they thought that gun works on us. You should've seen their faces when they started shooting us, and the bullets bounced off us. It was hilarious." Alix says with a laugh as Marinette nods in understatement.
"So, anyway, how did it go with the mission. Were you able to locate Adrien's Phone in the Boys Locker Room and erase the message?" Douglass asked curiously as Marinette sweatdrops nervously and rubbed her neck anxiously as she shifted her eyes around guiltily.
"N-Not exactly. You see, while I was able to find Adrien's Phone, but it was inside of Adrien's Locker, which was locked, so I might have...used my Lucky Charm to break into his locker."
"What?!"
"A-And, I might not have had enough time to erase my message due to Adrien's Phone having a passcode, so don't be angry at me, but I might have...stolen his phone."
"WHAT?!" Douglass and Alix exclaimed in shock with their Kwamis flying out of their hiding spots to give the intelligent teenager a disbelief, stunned look.
"Oh my god, Marinette, what the hell is wrong with you?! Like, for real, you're usually more mature and smarter than this! First, you stole Adrien's Schedule, stalked him, and now you stole his phone!? Do you have any idea how screwed you are right now?!" Douglass screamed, not only judging Marinette for her actions but worried about what would happen if people found out about what his sister did as an equally concerned Alix nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, Mari, do you have any idea how many laws you broke this day alone?! You can be sent to prison for this if Adrien or the others found out!" Alix shouted, looking uncharacteristically serious as she glared up at her wincing friend scoldingly.
"And you once again used your powers for selfish reasons, Marinette. Just like you did during the whole Bubbler Event." Lupus says with a frown as you can tell how angry he was by Marinette's actions just by the sheer fact that he didn't use the usual nickname that he calls the teen by.
"Long story short, you screwed up royally, Marinette." Fluff stated firmly as Marinette groans and held her head in her hands as she shakes her head.
"Guys, guys, please, I know that I have made a lot of mistakes and messed up, but please understand that I never meant to do anything bad. I-I just love Adrien so much that I can't control my actions sometimes." Marinette says while sniffling as she teared up a bit, and the group's angry looks dissipated as they watched the usually strong teenage girl crying in her hands and couldn't help but to feel sympathetic for her as Douglass and Tiki walked/flew over to a somber Marinette as they brushed away her tears.
"Hey, hey, there's no need to cry, sis. Look, while we're still angry with your actions today, we know that you don't mean anything ill about it, you were just clueless on how to deal with your feelings since this is truly the first time that you had fallen in love with somebody."
"Yeah, and the reason on why we're acting so hard on you its because we want you to know the seriousness consequences of your actions and teach you that what your doing is not love, but something else perversely. We're willing to help you out of this mess if you promise us that you will respect Adrien's privacy and stop stalking him." Tiki says as Marinette sniffled but smiled as she nodded.
"I will, don't worry, guys. I will stop stalking Adrien and destroy that stupid board right after I figure out a way to hack through Adrien's Phone and delete that message."
"Good, and we will help you out." Douglass says as Marinette beamed and reaches over to kiss her brother on the cheek in appreciation as Douglass rolled his eyes but smiled as the group then turned to Adrien's Phone and were about to talk to each other on figuring out what was Adrien's password but stopped as Fluff suddenly spoke up.
"Hey, guys, what's that?" Fluff asked while pointing at the Dupain-Cheng Siblings TV that was muted and saw that Nadja Chamack was reporting the news with the title reading, 'SUPERHERO CHAT NOIR JUST STOLE THE MONA LISA!' as the group gasped in shock by the sight of it.
"What...the...fuck?!" All of the group screamed in unison before Douglass reaches out to grab the remote as he turned up the volume, and the gang watched Nadja's News Report as, once she was done reporting 'Chat Noir' stealing the Mona Lisa, Marinette turned off the TV and turned to her teammates.
"Okay, guys, Chat Noir maybe annoying, reckless, headstrong...funny...cute...but he's no thief!" Marinette says while putting on a dreamy demeanor a bit with a blush before shaking her head as, thankfully, the others haven't caught her slip up.
"True, plus, Chat Noir is not dumb. If he wanted to steal the Mona Lisa, he would've done it at night time. Its almost like he was purposely stealing the painting in broad daylight to draw everyone's attention." Douglass says while crossing his arms as Alix nods.
"Yeah, I will bet you that Hawkmoth is behind this and akumatized someone that hates Chat Noir and wants to frame him. We need to put a stop this!" Alix yelled while gripping her fists in determination as the others nodded.
{Alix Kubdel's Transformation Sequence}
"Fluff! Clockwise!" Alix exclaimed loudly while taking out her Rabbitt Miraculous as she held it up in the air and a giggling Fluff morphed her tiny body into pure white magical energy as she flew into the pocket watch, activating it as it glows and changed in appearance as it was now blue with a white design in the center as it has five black circles and, on the top of it, has a blue cone as, in the middle of the cover, a clock face could be seen with the hands on the clock face are arranged to look like the ears of a rabbit.
Giving the readers a big cocky smirk, Alix raised her arm as she swiped her face with her hand as a big mask appeared and covered the top half of her face as it was blue at the top and white at the bottom as it has small sapphire-colored circles at the corners of the mask. Grunting, Alix turned around as she held out her arm daintily, and a small wave of white magical energy appeared as it washed over her arm and was covered by an indestructible white cloth as Alix then twirled around gracefully and another bigger wave of pure magical white energy washed over her body as her normal clothes were replaced by a baby blue/white skintight jumpsuit that has a black turtleneck with a white cotton ball attached.
With her transformation sequence nearly complete, Alix hid her Rabbitt Miraculous in one of her front pockets as the pink-haired girl brushed back her hair and giggled amusedly as a pair of realistic white rabbit ears appeared, planted onto her head as they had black lining and have baby blue insides. Smirking confidently, Alix then held out her hands as a magical white energy spiral appeared on her hand and twirled around a bit before the extremely short girl grabbed onto it as it magically transformed into a white umbrella that has baby blue insides and a white handle as Alix grunted and began swiping the air with her new weapon as she then opened up her umbrella and placed it above her head as she gave the readers a wink and playfully sticks out her tongue as she threw a peace sign.

{Douglass Dupain-Cheng's Transformation Sequence}
"Lupus! Howl On!" Douglass exclaimed with a big grin on his face while grabbing onto his amulet as the young teen raises the Miraculous up high into the air, and a smirking Lupus chuckled amusedly as his body morphed into magical light blue energy and flew over to inhabit his White Wolf Miraculous as the Kwami activates it and the amulet glows brightly as it magically changes in appearance and was now colored blue with a large white paw print engraved on it as it was also held together by a white chain.
Letting go of his Miraculous and allowing it to fall back on his chest, Douglass raises his arms and waves his arms across his face, causing a light blue mask to appear as his light gray eyes transformed into wolf-like yellow eyes and gained small fangs as Douglass then raises his arm and a small ball of magical blue energy appeared at the palm of his hand as it expanded and the magical ball morphed into a wave of blue energy that washed over his body as Douglass normal attire transformed into a white skintight jumpsuit. Raising his arms, a smirking Douglass brushed back his long shoulder-length black hair with blue highlights as it magically turns pure snow-white and extended as it now reaches down past his shoulders, and an amused Douglass chuckles as he boops his head two times and caused two white realistic wolf ears to pop out of his head.
With his transformation sequence nearly complete, Douglass held out his arms and twirled around as another wave of magical blue energy washed over his body, and Douglass gained a pair of light blue gloves with claws in his fingertips, light blue lines that travel across his suit, and a pair of light blue combat boots as Douglass then bends down and grunted as a burst of magical blue energy shot out of his butt and a long white bushy tail as it wagged around. Standing up stoically, a costumed Douglass gave the readers a confident, big smirk on his face as Douglass raised his arms and his claws extended five times their length as he slashed at the air a couple of times and then strikes a heroic, wolf-like pose.

{Marinette Dupain-Cheng's Transformation Sequence}
"Tiki! Spots On!" Marinette exclaimed heroically while brushing back her short medium-length black hair with blue reflections as Tiki giggled lightly, and her tiny body morphed into red magical energy as she flew over to inhabit one of Marinette's earrings and activates it as it glows brightly and magically changed in appearance as it was now red with five black spots in a quincunx pattern.
Raising her arms, Marinette waves her hands in front of her face as a red mask with five black spots in an asymmetrical design appeared as the waterlines of her eyes are colored black. Grunting softly, a smiling Marinette thrust out her hand as a wave of magical red energy appeared, and the young teenage girl laughed as she twirled around and the magical wave of red energy washes over her whole body as her normal attire was now replaced with a red skintight jumpsuit covered in black spots as it has a black collar/turtleneck. With her transformation sequence nearly complete, Marinette closed her eyes as she raises her arm and grabbed onto her pigtails as she took it off, letting her long black hair with blue reflections fly in the wind as a small burst of red magical energy radiated around her waist and a red yo-yo appeared as it was wrapped around her waist by a red string. Opening her eyes, Ladybug winked at the readers as she began doing a rather elegant, graceful dance that ended with the young teen slamming her foot onto the ground firmly as Marinette flip up her hair, and they were magically tied up by a pair of red ribbons, resembling ladybug's antennas or a ladybug flying when she's moving as Ladybug gave the readers a confident smirk.
{Marinette Dupain-Cheng's Transformation Sequence Over}
"Alright, men, listen up! We must focus all of our efforts on searching for clues on Chat Noir's whereabouts and arrest him for his crimes on stealing the Mona Lisa and assaulting a couple of innocent civilians!" Agent Roger screamed sternly while standing in front of the Paris Police Department as they were all wearing swat armor with electrifying batons and bulletproof shields. "This might be tough since we don't know who Chat Noir is under his mask, but rest assure you, we will capture this feline thief and put him in jail once and for-,"
"Yoo-hoo! Hello! Chat Noir here!" Adrien yelled while crouching down on top of the Louvre as the shocked police force whirled around to face the cat-themed superhero.
"...Huh, I guess that was easier than I thought. Alright, men, shoot this kitty down!" Agent Roger ordered as his men nodded and pulled out their guns as they aimed it up at a surprised Chat Noir, who raised his hands in the air as he gave them a cheeky, somewhat nervous grin.
"Whoa! Easy there, tigers! You've got the wrong cat! That thief's an impostor! I'm the real Chat Noir!" Chat Noir shouted as Agent Roger narrowed his eyes and held out his hand, signaling at his men to stand down as they reluctantly did, and all of them watched as Chat Noir slides down The Louvre and landed on the ground as he then jogged over to the Chief of Police. "Look, I know what everyone saw on the news and thinks that I'm a Thief, but I assure you that person wasn't me at all! And if you will allow me to check out where the robbery took place, I can find some clues on who the faker was and prove my innocence. Trust me, I have a knack for finding clues. You know, animal instincts and all." Chat Noir says while playfully punching Agent Roger's shoulders as the Chief of Police glared briefly before putting on a fake smile as he nodded.
"Of course. Here, I will have two of my men escort you towards the scene of the crime." Agent Roger says while gesturing at two large police officers to walk over to the duo as Chat Noir smiled gratefully and nodded as the trio began making their way to the Louvre.
"Alright, we're here." Ladybug says as she, White Loup, and Bunnix landed on top of the building as they looked on ahead, and the Dupain-Cheng Siblings frowned worriedly as they saw a whole squadron of police officers standing in front of The Louvre. "Oh, Chatton, what kind of trouble did you get into this time?" Marinette asked herself quietly, concerned for her partner's safety as White Loup nodded before realizing that Alix was texting someone on her opened Pocket Watch as, apparently, it has a call function like Ladybug and Chat Noir's weapons.
"Who are you texting, Alix?"
"Oh, my Dad. I texted him to see if he and Jalil were alright from that Fake Chat Noir's attack and, my Dad said that while he and my brother were suffering from some bruises and sore backs, they will be alright." Bunnix says while putting away her Rabbit Miraculous as White Loup nodded, and the trio then proceed to jump out of the building as they landed on the ground and rushed over to the police force as they were able to spot Mayor Bourgeois and Agent Roger standing near each other as White Loup and the girls ran over to them.
"Mr. Mayor, this is ridiculous. I'm sure there's a simple explanation."
"Yeah, Ladybug is right, sir. We have known Chat Noir for months now, and we know that he will never steal something or hurt civilians. This might be the work of Hawkmoth trying to frame him." Bunnix says as she and the others were trying to defend their teammate, but it seemed to fall on death ears as the Mayor of pairs ignored them while Agent Roger turned to glare at the teenaged superheroes sternly.
"Don't try to defend your former teammates actions, Miracu-League. We have things handled and are going to trap him right now to arrest him." Agent Roger stated firmly as the Miracu-League, however, didn't seem to agree with his idea and crossed their arms as they stared at him blankly.
"Yeah, sorry, but Chat Noir has superpowers. There is literally no way for you to trap nor detain him. He's too powerful for any of you to handle, even if you gang up on him." White Loup says matter-of-factly as, while he hates praising Chat Noir, even Douglass can't lie and say that the blonde-haired flirt was exceptionally skilled in combat just as they are.
"Oh, please, don't give him such credit. He may have powers, but there's a whole squadron of police officers waiting to stop him inside in case our trap fails. There's no way that Chat Noir can defeat the police on his own."
"Well, I don't mean to insult the police, but what can their silly little guns and battons do against someone that can destroy the whole building if he wanted to with one touch?" Bunnix asked with her hands on her hips as Ladybug nodded.
"Yep, and to be honest, he won't even need his powers against them to escape. Chat Noir will beat them all up with ease." Ladybug says with White Loup and Bunnix mumbling in agreement as a thick mark appeared on Agent Roger's head, and he turned to glare at him.
"Look, all of you kids just shut up, and let the professionals handle this! We got things under control!" Agent Roger says as the Miracu-League rolled their eyes at this and decided to wait around and see the Chief of Police's plan fall apart as they just hope that Chat Noir doesn't overdo it and destroy The Louvre.
"Hey, thanks for believing in me and not arresting me on sight. I really appreciate that." Chat Noir says to the police officers escorting him through the museum as they nodded stoically, and the cat-themed hero raised an eyebrow at this as his cat ears twitched a bit and his enhanced hearing began picking up their heartbeat, which was beating rather rapidly as if they were afraid as Chat Noir discretely glanced at the police officers and noticed that they were gripping their guns rather tightly as one of them had their hand in their pockets.
Remembering the events of the Pharoah, Chat Noir frowned seriously as he stood up straight and remained silent as they arrived at the part of the museum from where the crime takes place, and Adrien scanned the area before him as his superhuman eyesight was able to catch the sight of a burned cigar on the ground and immediately realized who the Akumatized Victim is just as one of the Police Officers behind him pulled out a remote as he was about to press it, only for Chat Noir to pulled out his staff as he extended it and smacked against the officer's hand, causing him to yelp in pain as he dropped his remote.
"I will take that, thank you!" Chat Noir says smugly while backflipping past the surprised police officers as he snatched the remote and landed on the ground as the grinning superhero then ran forwards and leaped up as Chat Noir delivered dual might kick at the grunting Police Officers that sends them flying forwards towards the exhibit and crashed landed on the ground just as Adrien pressed a button on the remote as a large steel gate appeared and locked the men inside of the exhibit. "Sorry for trapping you two in there but you kind of deserved it since you were trying to trap me, so tata!" Chat Noir says with a smirk while tossing the remote away from the Police Officers reach as he proceeds to run down the hallway and appeared in the middle of the museum as Chat Noir was surprised to see a large group of police officers in swat gear standing before him and skids to a halt as the cat-themed Miraculous User flashed them a mischievous/apologetic grin.
"Thanks for the warm hospitality, but I gotta split, so...no hard feelings to what I'm going to do you right now, right?" Chat Noir asked the squadron of police with a nervous smile as they glared at him.
"Fire at Chat Noir!" One of the Police Officers screamed as his team nodded and raised their guns as they began firing rounds at the Miraculous User.
"Ow...no...please stop...it hurts." Chat Noir stated blankly with a bored look on his face as their bullets bounced off his invulnerable body, and the police force realized this as they stopped firing their guns and stared at the black-leathered superhero warily.
"We're fucked aren't we?"
"Down and under." Chat Noir quipped before pulling out his staff as he extended it and swiped forwards as Adrien used his weapon to knock off everybody off their feet.
"Chief! Chat Noir didn't fall for the trap, and he's beating us up! Help us!" A panicking, nervous Police Officer screamed through Agent Roger's Walkie-Talkie, surprising the Chief of Police with the news as the Miracu-League folded their arms at him with knowing looks on their faces.
"Told you." The Miracu-League all stated in unison with sly grins on their faces as Agent Roger gritted his teeth in frustration and runs into the Louvre with the teenaged superheroes running after him as they arrived at the room where Chat Noir used to be and saw all of the injured Police Squad littering across the ground, defeated as they groaned in pain with their armor and shields busted as their batons were also snapped in half.
"Alright, Miracu-League, if Chat Noir is so innocent, then why is he running away?"
"Well, if you were wrongly imprisoned, wouldn't you run?" Ladybug answered back, sassily, as White Loup and Bunnix gave them 'Are you stupid?' looks, but then their attention was diverted to a couple of familiar rings as they realized that Chat Noir was trying to call them.
"Requesting assistance, I repeat, requesting assistance. We are in pursuit of the suspect..." Agent Roger trailed off as the Miraculous Users decided to take his distraction to their advantage and ran off as they turned a corner and stopped in their tracks as the Miracu-League looked around to make sure that there weren't any police officers nearby as Ladybug then pulled out her Yo-Yo with Bunnix taking out her Rabbitt Miraculous as White Loup simply grabbed onto his White Wolf Miraculous as all of them pressed the call option.
"Hey, guys." Chat Noir says as his face appeared on Ladybug's Yo-Yo and Bunnix's Pocket Watch as White Loup's Amulet projected a light blue hologram of a sheepish Chat Noir's head. "Now, I know that you three are mad at me right now, but I promise you that this mess wasn't my fault this time...okay, it was technically my fault, but I didn't steal the painting! That I can assure you!"
"Chat Noir, we know what's going on and know that your innocent, but we need you to tell us your current location, so that we can group up and come up with a plan to deal with the Akumatizing Villain framing you." Ladybug says as Chat Noir nodded and was about to speak up only to then frowned softly as a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and Chat Noir closed his eyes as he sighs heavily and shakes his head.
"Sorry, Bugaboo, but no can do. I got myself into this mess, and I should be the one responsible for fixing it. I don't want to drag the Miracu-League into this. Anyway, I will see you guys later after I find the Akumatized Victim and defeat him."
"Wait, Chat-,"
"Love you, guys, but I have to go and find the real culprit and save my tail! See ya!" Chat Noir says while waving at his teammates goodbye with a grin on his face as he shuts off the call.
"Grr, goddammit! Stupid cat!" Ladybug cursed as she and the others began sprinting out of the museum.
"I hope they won't get angry at me for doing this, but it's the right thing to do since I can't let them fix up a mistake that I made. I mean, what kind of partner will I be if I forced my teammates to help me de-akumatize someone that I akumatized?" Chat Noir says to himself rhetorically while sitting on top of The Louvre roof as Adrien closed up his staff and laid his head against the concrete wall as he sighs before flinching as three Police Helicopters appeared and floated above the blonde-haired Miraculous User as they aimed their guns at him. "Welp, time to jet."
"Out of all of the reckless things that he has done, this takes the cake! I swear when I get my hands on him, I will skin him like a cat!" Ladybug screamed angrily while running out of the museum as Douglass and Alix followed after her.
"Man, I've never seen her this pissed at Chat before." Bunnix whispered to Douglass as he nodded.
"Yeah, normally, I would've been stoked to see Chat being scolded, but I'm too worried about him being arrested to enoy it." White Loup as Alix sweatdropped at what her friend said, and rolled her eyes just as a loud familiar yell rang out as the Miracu-League and the Police Force looked up as they were surprised to see Chat Noir running through the roof of the Louvre with the Police Helicopters flying after him as they were trying to shoot him down.
"Give yourself up, Chat Noir!"
"No, I won't!" Chat Noir responded with a laugh as he leaped off from the roof and disappeared from sight.
"Aren't you three going after him? He's your teammate!" An angry Agent Roger asked the Miracu-League, who shared a look as they grinned mischievously and turned back to the Chief of Police.
"Oh, wasn't Chat Noir your responsibility, Officer? " White Loup asked with a mocking tone as Bunnix wrapped her arm around Douglass's shoulders and gave the fan police officer a cheeky grin.
"Yeah, didn't you say that you didn't need us kids help in capturing him? We don't want to get in your way."
"So, why don't we, the Miracu-League, leave everything to the professionals while we go off and do our own thing? Bye, bye, officers, good luck in capturing Chat Noir!" Ladybug says with a laugh while pulling out her yo-yo as she swung it around and tossed it forwards as she was whisked up into the sky with Bunnix and White Loup following after her as they ran off, leaving behind a pissed off Agent Roger as he growled in frustration and kicked the ground as he stalks off.
"Ugh, how am I going to clear my name with these guys following me around?" An exasperated Chat Noir says while running down the streets of Paris with the whole Police Force following after him in their Police Cars as Adrien looked around for a possible escape route and his Bad Luck Vision highlighted a nearby subway as he grinned. "Oh, that can work." Chat Noir says while sprinting towards the subway as he leaped inside, causing the Police Cars to crash against the subway as they then got out of their vehicles and began making their way into the subway, not knowing that the young superhero had de-transformed earlier as a whistling Adrien walked out of the other end of the subway.
"If you want my opinion, I'd say the thief was Akumatized." Plagg commented while popping his head out of Adrien's jacket as the blonde-haired teen rolled his eyes amusedly.
"No, duh, Plagg. That much I had figured." Adrien says before getting a flashback of the time that he was investigating the exhibit as he remembered a familiar burnt cigar laying on the ground. "Anyway, before the police tried to arrest Chat Noir, I was able to spot a clue in the museum. Someone had left behind a burnt cigar on the ground, and I know which person that cigar belongs to. Its that Sculptor Guy from the ceremony."
"Really? How are you sure about that?" Plagg asked curiously.
"Oh, it's simple, really, I recognized the brand of cigar that he smoked earlier, and it makes sense why the Scultopr will get Akumatized due to me...well..."
"Getting jealous and tell the guy that you and Ladybug are an item, even thought that was a bold ass lie and made the poor guy feel so sad that he got Akumatized by Hawkmoth?" Plagg asked teasingly as Adrien blushed in embarrassment and coughed as he looked away awkwardly.
"Yeah, that, anyway, its time to find out where that Scultopr guy lives." Adrien says as Plagg nodded seriously.
"Yep, now, its going to be tough to find that guy, and it may take a lot of research, but I think we will be able to-,"
"Found him." Adrien says casually while using his phone to find out where Theo lives as he pointed his phone at Plagg. "The Scultopr is named Theo Barbot, and he lives in a studio a couple of blocks away. We should be able to get there in a couple of minutes."
"Oh, okay, then." Plagg says with a sweatdrop, forgetting how easy to find information in this day and age as a thought then appeared on his brain. "Wait, shouldn't we transform and go over to this guy's place?"
"And have the police spot us or have the Miracu-League track me down through my staff's tracking device? Yeah, no, thanks, we have to play this smart, Plagg." Adrien says, surprising Plagg as he didn't know how smart Adrien was since he was usually cracking jokes and goofing off, but it seemed that the blonde-haired teen realizes the seriousness of the situation and was acting accordingly as Plagg smirked at this and nodded as Adrien nodded back before looking around as he placed his hands in his pockets and walked off.
"Alright, this is the place." Adrien says to Plagg while standing in an alleyway as he poked his head out and saw Theo's Studio standing in front of him proudly as the teen model smirked cockily. "It may have taken a while to get here, but it was worth it. Now, it's time to transform."
{Adrien Agreste's Transformation Sequence}
"Plagg! Claws Out!" Adrien exclaimed while closing his eyes as he raised his ringed hand into the air, and a serious Plagg allowed himself to turn his whole body into pure black magical energy as the Kwami of Destruction flew over to inhabit the Cat Miraculous and activated it as the ring glowed brightly and magically changed in appearance as it was now black with a bright green paw print on it.
Waving his ringed hand in front of his face, a big black mask appeared as a grinning Adrien opened his emerald eyes, revealing that they have turned cat-like with green sclerae and dark green irises as he now had oval-shaped pupils. Brushing back his hair, Adrien smirked slightly as his natural blonde hair grew longer and more untamed as it covers his normal ears, and, speaking off, a pair of realistic black cat ears appeared as it was attached to his head. The young model then laughed joyfully as he held out his arms, and a wave of magical green energy washed over his body as his normal attire was replaced by a textured black skintight bodysuit with a golden bell around his neck that is connected to a zipper, a pair of black gloves that have claws on his fingertips, a small silver staff attached to his back, and a pair of black combat boots. With his transformation sequence nearly complete, Adrien then bends down as he grunted and a burst of magical green energy shot out of his butt as a long belt appeared and was wrapped around his waist as it acts like a tail, and a grinning Adrien stood up straight as he slashed the air a couple of times before striking a cat-like, heroic pose as the blonde-haired boy grinned at the readers cockily.
{Adrien Agreste's Transformation Sequence Over}
Narrowing his eyes in determination, Chat Noir sprinted forwards as he made his way over to Theo's Studio and scaled up the large building as Adrien reached the roof and ran over to the skylight as he peeks down and grinned as the blonde-haired hero saw several small statues of the Miracu-League spread across the whole area. Now fully sure that this was the right place, Chat Noir opened the skylight as he leaps down and landed on a large crate with a soft grunt as Adrien rolled to the side and lands on the ground on a crouch as Chat Noir looks around and realized that the place was empty as he hums suspiciously and stood up as the Miraculous Hero started making his way through the studio.
"Alright, Chat, be careful. This guy clearly stole the Mona Lisa to frame me and get my attention, which means he knows that I will track him down and most likely placed a trap for me, so I should be in my toes and..." Chat Noir says before trailing off as he saw a stuffed cat toy placed on a crate with an envelope stuck in his hands that reads, 'Cat's in the bag' with a large black cat print planted onto it. "...Is he fucking serious? Does he really think I'm that dumb to fall for that obvious trap?"
"Yes, I do." Copycat says while appearing beside Chat Noir, who quickly took out his staff as he took a fighting stance.
"Well, you have to be more clever than that to trap me." Chat Noir says with a smirk as Copycat smirked back.
"Indeed." Copycat says while pulling out a remote from out of his pockets as he pressed a button, and the trap behind Chat Noir bursts open as a pair of silver chains shot out and latched onto Adrien's arms, surprising him a bit as he accidentally dropped his staff and it rolled over to a grinning Copycat as he bends down to grab it.
"Ha, ha, ha! I don't get what Ladybug sees in an arrogant, foul-mouthed person like you! Now, Chat Noir, you shall feel the pain and agony that I suffered on that afternoon where you so coldheartedly-,"
"Uh, before you go into your evil monologue thing, I have a question to ask you." Chat Noir suddenly says, interrupting a glaring Copycat as he sighed but nodded.
"Fine, what is your question, you mangy alley cat?"
"Well, how did you exactly build this trap? I mean, it will take someone with great intelligence and ingenuity and skill to make this trap, so how was a Sculptor able to build this?" Chat Noir asked as Copycat rolled his eyes and scoffed as he was about to answer his question...only to fall short as he scratched his head in confusion.
"Huh, I don't actually know. I mean, how I was able to build that trap? Where did I even get the materials to build it? The only thing that I stole was the Mona Lisa." Copycat says to himself in shock bewilderment before shaking his head as he glared at the cat-themed superhero. "Wait, I know what your doing, Chat Noir! Trying to distract me long enough for your team to show up but its too late! They won't be able to come here to save you and, with your weapon gone and shackled against the floor, the only way to free yourself and fight is to use your Superpower. Come on, Chat, summon your power already." Copycat challenged Chat Noir before looking away as he grinned mischievously. "But what Chat Noir doesn't know is that I planned for him to use his Cataclysm and, when he does, I will simply trap him again and wait until he de-transforms and then kill..." Copycat thought to himself before trailing off as he saw a nonchalant Chat Noir grabbing onto his chains and, with a little grunt, proceeds to rip the chains out of the ground, freeing himself somewhat as Theo blinks at this slowly. "Okay, first, WHAT. Second, THE FUCK!?"
"Dude, I don't think you know this, but I'm strong enough to lift up a bus with nothing but my bare hands and my staff. While I'm not strong enough to break through these chains, I'm definitely strong enough to rip them out of the ground." Chat Noir answered as Copycat sweatdropped immensely before putting on a fake bravado as he laughed evilly.
"Well, that might be true, Chat Noir, but I still have your weapon, and with two staffs in my hands I can-,"
"Snap." Chat Noir says calmly while snapping his fingers as his staff that was laying in Copycat's hand disappeared with a flash of green light.
"...Third, IS GOING ON?!" Copycat asked in disbelief as he was completely gobsmacked at the new abilities and feats that Chat Noir was showing.
"Heh, judging by your reaction, all of these abilities are new to you, but to me it's just child's play. You may have my powers and appearance, Copycat, but what you lack is my experience with them. You only had my powers for a couple of hours while I had them for roughly a couple of months, which means..." Chat Noir says while grabbing onto his chains as he twirled them around rapidly before whipping them at a nearby crate that was placed beside Copycat as it shattered apart, much to Theo's shock as Chat Noir grinned at him cockily. "...you can't beat me." Chat Noir finished as Copycat growled at this and pulled out his staff as he split it two and twirled them around in his hands as he went into a fighting stance.
"Oh, yeah?! Let's see who's the better Chat Noir, asshole!" Copycat shouted while rushing forwards as a smirking Chat Noir got into a battle pose.
"Come on, guys, let's pick up the pace!" Ladybug yelled to her teammates as we see the Miracu-League jumping through rooftops, trying to search for Chat Noir or his Copycat. "Chat Noir is in danger, and we need to help him out!" Ladybug says just as her Yo-Yo beeps a coupe of times as she grabbed onto it and opened the Yo-Yo as she saw the Miraculous Tracker on Chat Noir was online and saw where he was located currently as Ladybug nodded to herself firmly before turning to her brother and friend. "Good news, guys, I now know where Chat Noir is located! He's in this large studio a few blocks away from us! We should be able to get there in a couple of minutes if we hurry, but we should be careful! This Akumatized Villain has Chat Noir's powers, so we have to make sure to not let his Cataclysm touch us! Oh, I really hope that Chatton is alright and is at least able to keep up in his fight against that villain!"
Letting out a loud battle cry, Copycat tried to swipe at Chat Noir with his staff as Adrien dodged his attack easily and whipped at Theo's legs with his chains as he tripped him and a grunting Copycat fell on the floor as he groaned in pain before growing angry as the Fake Miraculous Hero turned to Chat Noir and extended his staff to try and hit him but ended up pressing the wrong button as his weapon extended in the wrong end and Copycat ended up sending him flying away as he flew past an amused Adrien and crashed landed a few feet away from him. Shaking his head, Copycat sat up from the ground and turned to glare at Chat Noir, who gestured at him to come and fight him as Theo took the challenge and jumped up high into the air as he held out his staffs and extended him five times their usual length as Copycat raised them into the air and was about to try to slam them down on his foe, only for a grinning Chat Noir to whip his silver chains at him as they wrapped around his extended weapons and Adrien then pulled the chains closer, forcing a yelping Copycat to cross his arms together as he lost the momentum of his jump and crashed landed face-first onto the ground as he groaned in pain.
Getting tired of being sent flying to the ground multiple times like an idiot, Copycat slammed his fists onto the ground in frustration before putting retracting his weapons back to their original size and joining them together as he put away his staff, deciding that a hands-on-approach were a better idea as Copycat leaped back on his feet and charged towards Chat Noir as he threw a punch at him. Wrapping the silver chains around his arms, Chat Noir stood in a boxing stance as he blocked Copycat's punch before raising his leg to kick Copycat across his stomach, sending him flying back a bit as Theo was able to land on the ground gracefully and growled furiously as he rushed over to throw multiple consecutive punches at Adrien.
Rolling his eyes, an unamused Chat Noir was able to block all of Theo's sloppy punches easily as, thanks to learning self-defense by his father and the mandatory team-building training exercises that his lady and his brother had put him and Bunnix through, Adrien was able to see through Copycat's 'technique' and read through his attack as an idea popped into his head, and the blonde-haired teen smirked as he grunted and pushed the Akumatized Man forwards. Stumbling backwards, Copycat flailed around as Chat Noir rushed forwards and twirled around as he appeared behind a shocked Theo and Adrien quickly used his Miraculous Powers to summon his staff as he then extended his staff, and it collided against the back of Theo's head, causing Copycat to yelp in pain and lost his balance as he once again fell down on the ground.
"Come on, Copycat, you can do better than that! You think your superior than me when you never even laid a hand on me yet?" Chat Noir asked mockingly as Copycat growled furiously and a glowing purple butterfly symbol appeared in front of his face.
"Copycat, your poor combat skill is atrocious to watch! Just end this already by using Chat Noir's Cataclysm to destroy him and steal his Cat Miraculous!" Hawkmoth screamed, completely fed up with his latest Akumatized Villain being bested in combat by what he believed to be the weakest member of the Miracu-League as Theo nodded before glaring at Chat Noir as he raised his ringed hand.
"Fine, then how about I step up my game by using Cataclysm!" Copycat shouted as black destructive energy formed around his ringed hand, and a determined Theo clenched his glowing black fist as Chat Noir winced at this lightly.
"Oh, maybe, I shouldn't have taunt him." Chat Noir says with a sweatdrop before growing serious as he glances across the area and his Bad Luck Vision highlighted his silver chains, Copycat's Cataclysm infused fist, Chat Noir's staff, the News Article of the Miracu-League hidden inside of one of Theo's pockets, and, finally, Chat Noir's Cat Miraculous as Adrien smirked smugly.
"Ah, that would work." Chat Noir says while unwrapping his silver chains as he twirled them around rapidly.
"Finally, we're here!" Ladybug exclaimed while dropping into the studio by the skylight with White Loup and Bunnix dropping down after her as a worried Marinette looks around. "Quick, we need to find Chat and help him defeat..." Ladybug says before trailing off as she and the rest of the Miracu-League saw Copycat charged towards Chat Noir, who whipped at him with his silver chains as Theo reflexively raised his hands to catch the chains...and immediately realized the big mistake that he made as Copycat's Cataclysm energy traveled across the whole silver chains and aged them to dust as Adrien was now chain free.
With his opponent distracted, Chat Noir was quick to pull out his staff as he used his Miraculous Power to duplicate it, and another staff appeared in his other hand as Adrien split his weapons into four halves and twirled them around as he then slammed them onto the ground and extended them as the four poles connected against a surprised, grunting Copycat as he was sent flying through the air and collided against the wall so hard that it cracked behind her as Theo groaned in pain and was held in place by Chat Noir staffs as the four poles were attached to his arms and legs. Grunting, Chat Noir jump onto his staffs and ran up it as he approached a defeated Copycat and reaches down to pull out the News Article Photo from out of Theo's pockets as he proceeds to rip apart the Akumatized Object and an Akuma flew out of one of the halves of the ripped news article.
"Bye-bye, little butterfly! Cataclysm!" Chat Noir shouted while raising his ringed hand as he infused it with black destructive energy as Adrien then reaches out to grab onto the Akuma and swiftly turned it into stone as the black little butterfly slowly evaporated into dust. "And that's how you save the day." Chat Noir says with a grin just as black and purple smoke covered Copycat's body as Theo slowly transformed back into his civilian form. "Don't worry, dude, I got you." Chat Noir says while snapping his fingers as his weapons disappeared with multiple flashes of green light as Adrien quickly grabs onto Theo and landed on the floor as he placed the groaning man on the ground and turned his head as Chat Noir spotted his shocked teammates.
"Oh, hey, guys, glad to see you. Just caught my copycat." Chat Noir says while pointing at an unconscious Theo. "Oh, and sorry for not waiting for you to use your Lucky Charm and Miraculous Ladybug, my lady, but you don't have to worry about collateral damage or anything like that. All this guy did was steal a painting, and we could easily return that back to the museum." Chat Noir says, causing Ladybug to blink as she shakes her head to compose herself and pulls out her ladybug-themed stethoscope Lucky Charmed Object from earlier.
"O-Oh, I already used my Lucky Charm earlier." Ladybug stated awkwardly as Chat Noir beamed.
"Oh, good, how convenient." Chat Noir says with a smile as White Loup and Bunnix give Ladybug a knowing look as she blushes in embarrassment and looks away nervously.
"Y-Yeah, right...anyway, Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug screamed while tossing her Lucky Charmed Object into the air as a swarm of ladybugs appeared and spread across the whole area as they returned the Mona Lisa back at The Louvre and fixed up Theo's News Article.
"Pound it!" The Miracu-League exclaimed as they shared their usual fist pump.
"Hmmm, it seems that I underestimated you, Chat Noir. Judging by our past battles, I thought Ladybug, White Loup, and Bunnix were the only competent ones in the group, but it seemed that you are just as powerful and skilled as they are. I will promise you, Miracu-League, this will be the last time that I ever underestimate any of you ever again." Hawkmoth monologues with a calculative, serious glare on his face as his window close up.
"Okay, now that the Akumatized Victim has been defeated, can you please explain to use everything that happened?" Ladybug asked as she and the others were still surprised that Chat Noir was able to defeat an Akumatized Supervillain by himself as Adrien was about to speak up but was cut off by Theo as he woke up from his unconscious state with a groan.
"Ugh, where am I?" Theo asked confusedly while looking around as the Miracu-League were quick to run over, and Ladybug grabbed onto him as she lifted him up to his feet.
"Hey, sir, don't worry, you were just Akumatized but, luckily, our teammate Chat Noir was able to de-akumatize you, and I used my superpower to return back the Mona Lisa that you stole as Copycat." Ladybug explains as Theo glances up at her and gasped in shock at the sight of his superhero crush as he smiled up at her lovingly and grabbed onto her hands.
"Ladybug, I waited so long to meet you! Ever since my eyes laid on you on that day where Stoneheart showed up and laid havoc on the city, I couldn't help but to feel a great deal of love for you, and I hope that you will eventually see that this Chat Noir guy is not the right person for you and that I'm your one true love!"
"...Uh, sir, how old are you again?" Ladybug asked with a nervous sweatdrop as she felt incredibly uncomfortable by Theo's love confession to her.
"18, why?" Theo asked with a lovestruck look as White Loup winced, and Bunnix sticks out her tongue in disgust as Chat Noir looks jealous again but didn't say anything as he doesn't want Theo to get Akumatized again.
"Well, while I can't exactly tell you how old I am specifically, I can safely say that I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay younger than 18."
"...How young?"
"Young enough that if the public finds out about this, you will be charged as a pedophile and a sex ofender." Ladybug answered blankly as Theo blinked a couple of times in realization, and his face paled in horror/shock as he lets go of Ladybug's hands and proceeds to turn around as he walked away quietly without saying a word.
"Welp, that was awkward." White Loup says with the Miracu-League mumbling in agreement as Chat Noir's Cat Miraculous beeped a couple of times, signaling that he had about five minutes left before he de-transforms.
"Yeah, totally. Anyway, I better split before my secret identity gets revealed. Talk with you guys later." Chat Noir says as the Miraculous Superheroes nodded, and the Miracu-League then split up to leave the studio as they all made their way back home.
After Chat Noir explained everything to the Miracu-League during their nightly patrol about what happened with Theo and having Ladybug and the others scold him for causing the Scultopr's Akumatization in the first place by lying to him, we cue to next day at College Françoise Dupont, and we see our teenaged Miraculous Users attending their class as Alix could be seen sitting behind Marinette and Douglass, who had decided to sit together today due to Alya running late to class on the account that she was still busy writing the article of the Miracu-League Statue unveiling as Duncan was forced to help her out and miss school, as well, as the curious Kubdel pink-haired girl leans over to her friends' side.
"So, guys, were you able to break through Adrien's Phone Passcode?" Alix asked as the Dupain-Cheng Siblings nodded.
"Yep, Douglass was able to guess that Adrien's Passcode was the date of his mother's birthday, and I was quick to erase the message. I'm planning on sneaking his phone into his bag when Adrien's not looking." Marinette says as Alix nodded just as Adrien and Nino walked into the room as they made their way to sit down on their usual seat.
"Maybe you dropped it somewhere." Nino suggested to Adrien, who shrugged as he sighs.
"Well, if I did, then, whoever has it found it in the boys' locker room. I was checking my voicemail in there during fencing practice."
"Do it now." Douglass whispered to his sister, who nodded sharply as she sneaks over to place Adrien's Phone in his bag, which falls over as Marinette was quick to go back to her seat just as a curious Adrien turns his head as he was surprised to see his bag on the floor.
"Huh, why did my bag fell down?" Adrien asks himself confusedly while leaning down to grab onto his bag as his eyes widened in shock at the sight of his phone placed inside of his bag neatly. "What the what?! Dude, my phone was in my bag this whole time! But I already looked in here a thousand times!" Adrien exclaimed as Nino shakes his head in amusement and laughs as he leaned against his chair.
"Ha, ha, you must be stressed out, dude, you need some time off...hey, I know, let's go to the movies tonight!" Nino says with Adrien beaming at the idea as he nodded, and the blonde-haired boy turned to face Douglass and the others.
"Hey, dudes, want to tag along with us to the movies?" Adrien asked as Douglass and Alix grinned as they nodded while Marinette looks very ecstatic by the idea...before frowning subtly as she looks away and nodded to herself seriously as the Baker Girl turned back to her crush.
"S-Sorry, Adrien, but I won't be able to show up tonight. I have homework to do." Marinette says, surprising Douglass and Alix with what she said as Adrien pouted slightly but nodded in understatement as he turned back to talk with Nino.
"Hey, what was that, Wonderbug? I thought you wanted to go with Adrien to the movies?"
"Yeah, what gives?" Douglass asked with a disbelief look on his face as both he and Alix were flabbergasted by Marinette's actions.
"Well, while I did wanted to go to the movies with Adrien, I don't think I deserve to go to the movies with him today since...you know...I stalked him and stole his phone earlier, so I'm punishing myself by denying going to the movies with him...even though I REALLY wanted to go!" Marinette whined in misery while placing her head on her desk as Douglass and Aix blinked a couple of times before smiling brightly at the teenage girl's mature decision as Marinette's brother patted her back to comfort her.
"Proud of you, sis, you did the right thing." Douglass says as Marinette smiled at him briefly and nods.
"Thanks, Douglass." Marinette says just as Miss Bustier appeared to begin with the class as everyone turned to give their attention to her.
And done! I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one.
Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
