Miraculous Voyage
*Staggered classroom: large rooms, both in width, length and height, in which each row of seats is on a step. Classrooms usually used in universities and high schools.
**Suegra: Mother in law in Spanish.
***Cuñada: Sister in law in Spanish.
It is a quiet night in the city of Miraculous Voyage. The full moon illuminates the starry sky giving a feeling of tranquility to the residents of the place. There is no one walking on the streets, but if you pay close attention you can see two dark silhouettes jumping on the roofs of the houses towards the heart of the city, to the center of the world: Kwami's Tree. The huge tree has at least one hundred thousand years, people have even said that it has existed since before the arrival of the first settlers. The trunk as thick as the size of a large house and a height so spectacular that none of the taller homes has been able to exceed it. A city in which humans don't have supernatural powers but live surrounded by magic. Magical creatures which they call Spiritual Pets/Animals, Nature Spirits, Enchanted Plants... among many other creatures that humans have been able to see, hear and feel, but never master.
The big tree seems to be the source of all power: the leaves of the tree shine as if they were thousands of stars and change color depending on the time of year, but no matter how many leaves fall, how strong the wind blows or how cold finds; the tree is always covered with them. The flowers that sprout from it are as white as freshly fallen snow and give off a fresh smell that expands all around him. If this weren't enough, it is said that the oldest spirits inhabit this tree, which exists from the moment of creation. Few have been able to see them, a few for each century, but they have only spoken wonders about them and say they are the main source of protection. These spirits are called Kwamis.
Going back, the two figures jumping over the roofs already reached Kwami's Tree and sit on one of the highest branches of the tree. Now that they are still, they know perfectly well who they are: Ladybug and ChatNoir, the new ones chosen by the Kwamis. Its main mission: to protect the city from any evil spirit that attempts to attack both citizens and the great tree. The girl has long blue hair with small red accessories and wears a light suit in different shades of red and a mask on her face. On the other hand, the boy is blond with his hair tied in a low tail and wears a black light suit. Like his partner, he wears a mask on his face. Both talk quietly for a few minutes, say goodbye with small smiles and go to different places. The patrol of that night has been accomplished.
Adrien finishes reading the first part of what Ladybug has sent him. Reading what follows, he realizes the relationship between the protagonists and their alter egos: with the real names of Bridgette and Felix, both don't know their real names and don't know that in reality, they know each other without the masks, what tangles in a confusing love square. The blond likes the idea and decides to write back to Ladybug.
[Private chat]
[ChatNoir]: I finished reading it
[ChatNoir]: I like how the story goes and I think you already know how to finish it.
[Ladybug]: did you really like it?
[Ladybug]: I'm glad to hear that.
[Ladybug]: Is it okay if I take care of the rest of the dialogue?
[ChatNoir]: Sure
[ChatNoir]: I'll leave it to you then
[ChatNoir]: I will edit it
[ChatNoir]: I'm going to tell the others to take care of the costumes and extra materials.
[ChatNoir]: It's too late, should we talk later?
[Ladybug]: true
[Ladybug]: we'll talk later
[Ladybug]: good night :)
[ChatNoir]: good night :)
[Private Chat - Clan Noir]
[Ladybug]: guys!
[Ladybug]: I finished the script of the video, I sent it privately to each one.
[Ladybug]: It's complete but it can change while we record.
[Ladybug]: Tell me if you have any questions!
The weekend had passed and Marinette didn't have classes until eleven, so she decided to send them the dialogue early. She doesn't know where she found all this creativity, but she managed to finish it in just a couple of days.
[DarkCupid]: I'm reading it!
[DarkCupid]: but so far I love it, suegra**!
[DarkCupid]: how did you come up with all this?
[DJCarapace]: because our sister is smart
[DJCarapace]: compared to others...
[DarkCupid]: hey!
[DarkCupid]: what I have done now?!
[TheSilencer]: well
[TheSilencer]: to start, you are misusing a word.
[DarkCupid]: ah?
[DJCarapace]: he's referring to suegra
[DJCarapace]: cuñada is what you mean...
[Ladybug]: To be your suegra I should be Chat's mother and you should marry him.
[Ladybug]: so no thanks.
...
...
[Ladybug]: he doesn't respond?
[DJCarapace]: HAHAHAHAHAHA
[DJCarapace]: he has fallen from his chair because of the surprise.
[TheSilencer]: Now he can't stand up.
[DarkCupid]: YOU TWO!
[DarkCupid]: why didn't you tell me anything?
[DarkCupid]: It's been a few days that I call her that!
[DarkCupid]: Ladybug, you haven't told me anything either :'(
[DJCarapace]: because it was funny.
[TheSilencer]: why do I have to tell you?
[Ladybug]: hahaha...
[Ladybug]: you have called me with so many names that I didn't pay too much attention.
[DarkCupid]: :'( :'( :'(
[DarkCupid]: I can't trust you anymore.
[DarkCupid]: Ladybug is going to be called now Mrs. Noir.
Marinette blushes at the sudden nickname. Mrs. Noir didn't sound so bad... What are you thinking about Marinette?! The blue-haired took a breath and remembered some details of the conversation. How did they know that DarkCupid had fallen from his chair?
[Ladybug]: Oh?
[Ladybug]: Do you live together?
[DJCarapace]: hehehehe
[DJCarapace]: as expected of our sister
[TheSilencer]: Everyone but Plagg share a university dorm.
So ChatNoir, just like her, was still a university student...
[DarkCupid]: ah
[DarkCupid]: But did you know?
[DarkCupid]: ChatNoir doesn't usually come at night...
[DarkCupid]: you have to control him!
ChatNoir doesn't come back at night? He doesn't look like someone who stays out so late...
[DJCarapace]: He doesn't even come back in the morning!
[TheSilencer]: We don't see him much during the day.
[TheSilencer]: we don't see him in class either...
The three friends were laughing at the little joke, the three sitting with their computers at the table in the center of the bedroom. It is true that Adrien had his own apartment, so he spent the nights there and that during the day they had different classes and work for the company; but they didn't lie either. Technically, Adrien is enrolled in the dorm, but prefers his own space, both for his and for his friends' sake.
[ChatNoir]: hide your socks
[ChatNoir]: I'm moving to the dorm for the rest of the semester.
ChatNoir had written for the first time that day. Had he been reading the whole conversation? With that, Marinette confirmed that Chat spent the night outside because he had his own place, why had she felt nervous? On the other hand, the boys were somewhat shocked...
[DarkCupid]: NO!
[DJCarapace]: don't come!
[TheSilencer]: don't come back!
[Ladybug]: oh?
[Ladybug]: So it's true that boys don't wash their socks for weeks?
[DarkCupid]: ...isn't it normal?
[DJCarapace]: we're Science dudes, we don't care much about that...
[TheSilencer]: and it's NOT that bad...
[DarkCupid]: yeah
[DarkCupid]: it's just that Ad-
[DarkCupid]: that ChatNoir is a cleaning maniac.
[DJCarapace]: It's true
[DJCarapace]: The amount of dirt in his socks is abnormal.
Marinette laughs at the little argument. Apparently, Chat was also kidding them, it doesn't seem like he's going back to the dorms any time soon...
[Ladybug]: I just remembered...
[Ladybug]: you said you could hack a computer?
[Ladybug]: Could it be that you're majoring in Computation?
[DJCarapace]: yep
[DJCarapace]: all of us.
[Ladybug]: what a coincidence!
[Ladybug]: I'm also in that faculty!
[DarkCupid]: ohhh
[DarkCupid]: but our faculty is 90% men... you are very brave
[DarkCupid]: or maybe you're a male student?
[TheSilencer]: hey stop it
[TheSilencer]: We know she is braver than you.
[Ladybug]: brave? Ok…
[Ladybug]: returning to the script
[Ladybug]: Did any of you finish reading it?
[DJCarapace]: Yes!
[DJCarapace]: But I think that in the part where the villain sends spirits to kidnap the boy...
[DJCarapace]: Wouldn't it be better if we specify that it's referring to Felix (ChatNoir)?
[DJCarapace]: because in that scene the four of us are together.
[ChatNoir]: I don't think it's necessary
[ChatNoir]: nobody is going to get confused.
[DarkCupid]: why?
[ChatNoir]: Because none of you are worth being kidnapped.
[DarkCupid]:…
[DJCarapace]:…
[TheSilencer]:…
[TheSilencer]: Touché.
Its five minutes to three in the afternoon when Marinette enters the elective design class. As expected, she doesn't see many seats occupied in the spacious staggered classroom* and she can sit in a good place. Without much thought, she sits in one of the middle rows next to the stairs, leaving a chair for her backpack. While waiting for the class to begin, Marinette lies down at the table and listens to a few murmurs of some girls arriving at the class.
"Hey, I heard that Adrien Agreste's father is going to teach the course. Shouldn't there be more people?"
"That doesn't help. It's not like Adrien is going to come to the class… Besides, Mr. Agreste's classes are a bit boring and he is a little..."
Somewhat distracted, Marinette stretches her arms to relax a little. She is thinking if the classes are as boring as they say that she doesn't notice the person next to her until he starts talking to her.
"Excuse me, is this place occupied?" Marinette comes out of her thoughts and turns to her side to see the owner of the voice. With her head still a bit in the clouds, Marinette stares at the best known green-eyed blond on campus for longer than normal.
Feeling the boy's gaze, the blue-haired quickly takes her eyes off him, lowers her head and takes her backpack from the side seat answering his question.
"N-no, it's free."
The boy sits at her side and begins to settle his things without saying another word. Meanwhile, Marinette tries to seem focused on the textbook that definitely it's not upside down. What is Adrien Agreste doing here?!
Author notes:
So... don't kill me, please. I'm not that late but any delays are WEBTOON's fault (too addictive!). Anyways, this chapter ended here... what will happen after? I hope you liked it :) Any comments and questions are welcome, thanks for reading!
