For those who haven't read the latest chapter on Friendship Unfolded, I made an AO3 account, and moved my six stories on there.
Don't freak out, people. Just because I put an account on there, doesn't mean I'll get off of this site.
This is my main website, and I don't intend on leaving it.
There isn't much to see on there, because there's less to no author's notes in the stories I put on there, and the O.G. stories were made here on this website.
So, it doesn't matter much if you already read my stories on this website.
Anyway, with that being said, can we have a moment to talk about Season 5 for a bit?
Spoiler alert for the first few episodes of season five, if you haven't seen them yet for whatever reason, but DUDE, letting himself be Cataclysm'd?!
Braking the so told INDESTRUCTIBLE Miraculous into powder and making them into rings?!
Using the rings to secretly allow the akumatized victims to use the Miraculous' powers?!
...Monarch's going crazy this season.
Also, anyone else sometimes messes up when calling Monarch, well, 'Monarch'? I'm still used to calling him 'Shadow Moth'.
Alright, just had to get all of that out.
Proceed!
"Uh, Aaron, are you okay?"
In Ms. Mendeleiev's classroom, it was announced that a new student would join the class.
Apparently, Chloé had a sister named Zoé and she was coming over to stay from New York. However, Aaron found out something interesting when she spoke before sitting down.
He was looking at her for most of the class period.
Finally snapping out of it, Aaron spoke, "Oh, sorry Mari. It's just that, there's something about Zoé's voice. I swear I've heard it somewhere before."
From where she was sitting, Zoé heard Aaron and turned around. She saw him looking back, and immediately faced forward in a panic.
Later that day...
It's the end of the school day, and we see Aaron pacing back and forth in front of the school entrance.
He was still trying to remember where she heard Zoé's voice from.
At the same time, Chloé and Zoé were walking out to a pink limo outside, Sabrina following them, when suddenly,
"*snaps fingers* That contest for 'OK Friday'! She was ActR120!"
Zoé heard that and quickly hurried her and her sister out the door. Sabrina didn't come yet, she hesitantly looked around and slid to Aaron.
"(whisper tone) Aaron, are we still meeting up tomorrow, right?" "Uh, no, the day after." "Oh right. Bye!" She then left.
Okay, one thing at a time.
What you just witnessed was a planned private meet up between the two. Sabrina and Aaron were secretly meeting up and hanging out behind Chloé's back. She went from his fan, to friend, to best friend, to best close friend in a somewhat short time.
That's impressive if you ask me.
Now for the second thing- You know what, this'll explain it.
"What was that about 'OK Friday'?"
Aaron looked and saw Alya, Cyrus, Marinette, and the rest of the girls come this way.
"I heard Zoé's voice before back when I did one of my songs. You guys know 'OK Friday'?"
"Who doesn't know 'OK Friday'?" Cyrus said, "It's one of your most popular songs. You did it with that online contest."
The contest was that one lucky female would get the chance to sing with the Ace in one of his new songs. The one who won had the username 'ActR120'.
"Recognized her when she spoke. She helped me sing 'OK Friday'."
"She was ActR120?" Rose said surprised.
"Can't be entirely sure, but I'm positive. Anyway, what's up with you guys?"
They told Aaron that Zoé was acting a lot like her sister the whole seven hours of the school day. Which was abnormal, because Marinette met Zoé before when she showed up at her family bakery, and she was leagues nicer than Chloé could ever be.
First she acts Chloé level rude to everyone, now she's keeping the fact that she was the one who sung with the Ace for one of his most popular songs?
"That girl's got secrets she doesn't want to hide." Aaron said, sitting on his bed in his room.
"You're the last person who should say that." Shadow said, while playing Uno Flip with Crystal, Whisk, and Trench on Aaron's desk. They were all on the flip side.
"Uno." Crystal said.
Whisk picked up two cards and placed one, then Shadow played a card, then Trench played a draw five card.
"Dang it, Trench! *draws five cards*"
The kwami of Earth laughed in response.
Before Aaron could respond, the whole room shook, alarming everyone.
"What was that?" Aaron said, getting up from his bed and going to the window.
He looked outside and saw down the street, not too far from the Seine, there was a new akumatized villain on the loose.
She looks like Chloé with the face, clothes, and hair, but it's not actually her, because she's chasing the brat herself down the street. She's completely sparkly brilliant amber gold, encrusted with very light cyan-colored diamonds. Her headdress-like accessory features lightning-shaped horns. Her jacket collar and the backs of her high heel shoes also feature lightning-shaped ornaments. She's also carrying Marinette in her hand.
"Guess I'm going for a run. Glare, Shadow, Shine the Light."
He then transformed before calling his Phantasm and Light Speed then going out the window with Pyro and Syren closing it after him.
Twilight ran ahead and caught up just in time to see and hear a conversation between the villain and Marinette.
"Zoé! No one will judge you here. You can just be yourself. You might trip, you might fall, and there'll always be someone to pick you back up. I'll always be there for you!"
"So that was Zoé. *looks at Chloé* I should be surprised." Twi said, knowing the possible cause of the akumatization.
"No one will tell me what to do!" The villain in question said before heading for the Seine.
Twilight looked and saw that she was going for the Couffaine's houseboat, Liberty, which had Myléne, Cyrus, who had his keytar, and the members of Kitty Section onboard.
Twilight got into running position, then sped forward. He ran an inch ahead of Zoé, who's villain name was Sole Crusher, and right when she raised her other foot to take another step, Twi stuck his katanas into the ground making her trip and fall to the ground and drop Marinette in the process when she hit the ground.
"Luminosity. *becomes visible, then regains katanas* What, didn't see that coming?"
Cat then came next to Twilight who was on the roof, then Ladybug a second later. "Sorry, I got held up." "And I just saw what was going on and ran over."
Sole Crusher got back up, and turns to the three heroes in anger. She tried to punch them, but they moved out of the way in time.
Twilight ran in saying, "Hey you, Ms. Twenty tons of gold! I bet you can't get me!"
Twilight ran around Sole Crusher, avoiding her attacks.
Seeing that he was trying to distract her, the Cat and Bug duo joined in.
This ended with Sole Crusher's fist stuck in a building.
As Sole Crusher tries to free herself, Cat said, "We're not getting anywhere with this. If worst comes to worst,"
Sole crusher freed herself and fell into the building behind her.
"I might have to Cataclysm her before she destroys the whole city!"
"*grabs his wrist*Whoa, slow your roll, Cat." Twi said, which is ironic, "You do know how destructive your power can be right? We don't know what'll happen if that power touches a person."
"He's right, it could be fatal! Lucky Charm!"
Ladybug's Lucky Charm was...
"A shoe horn?...Of course! The akuma must be hiding in her shoes!"
"*turns to Cat* You thinking what I'm thinking?" "Let's trip her up a bit."
The boys went to Sole Crusher and did what was said. Twilight ran by and sliced off one of her heels, and Cat Noir used his Cataclysm and broke the other one.
Sole Crusher fell again, but there was no akuma coming out of either shoe.
The three regrouped behind a car after seeing that.
As the villain got back up, Chloé came over saying, "Even as a supervillain, you're still a loser. Just look at how you're treating my priceless shoes! Go back to your sad, ugly sneakers!"
Getting up then walking towards her sister, she said back, "Why, when I finally know what it's like to be in your shoes!"
Chloé tried to escape, but Sole Crusher stomped on her and she disappeared.
"Well, I'm not gonna say she didn't have it coming, but..." Twi said.
Ladybug then said, "Sneakers? What if the Akuma isn't in these shoes, but in the sneakers Chloé was talking about? Follow me!"
She yo-yo'd away and Cat Noir and Twilight followed her and Sole Crusher watched them leave with a knowing smirk.
Le Grand Paris, Chloé's room...
The doors between the balcony and Chloé's room burst open by the three heroes.
Ladybug said as they went in, "If Chloé lended those shoes, the sneakers must be here somewhere."
Three searched frantically for the sneakers.
At one point, Twilight opened Chloé's cupboard and found Sabrina inside doing Chloé's homework.
"Five more minutes, I'm almost done!"
After rolling his eyes and sighing, knowing that Chloé was wrong for this, Twi asked her, "Chloé's sister's sneakers, where are they?"
"Huh? What? I don't know! *closes the cupboard doors*"
After that, the three ran out into the hallway. If the weren't in Chloé's room, then Zoé had to have had her own room.
Right after Ladybug said what I just said, the three heard the voice of André from the janitor's closet.
"Ladybug! Cat Noir! Twilight Fighter! You're going to save us again, aren't you?"
"Mr. Mayor?" Ladybug asked, as their attention turned to the closet.
"I hid in here when I witnessed poor little Zoé getting akumatized."
"You mean you saw everything?" Cat asked.
Ladybug followed, "Do you know where her sneakers are?"
The elevator to the roof dinged and opened and the heroes and mayor got out afterwards.
"Don't you find it strange that Sole Crusher didn't follow us here?"
"I wouldn't count on that Cat, my super sense is going nuts."
"Let's make a run for it." Ladybug said as they run to the cellar.
As André reached for the cellar that held Zoé's shoes, he pleaded to the heroes, "Promise you won't tell my wife about this?"
They nodded.
At that moment, Twilight's super sense went off and he turned around and saw the cause of it.
"Uh, guys? You might wanna double time it."
The others looked also and saw that it was Sole Crusher who was now twice the size of Le Grand Paris!
"You can't measure up to me! I'm going to crush. You. All!"
She threw her right fist as a punch while yelling in anger.
Ladybug tried to quickly open the cellar, but it was stuck. She struggles, but realized she still had the shoehorn. She used her Lucky Charm to pry open the cellar door.
As Sole Crusher's fist is flaming and about to reach them, Ladybug finds the akumatized sneakers and breaks them.
The akuma flies out and stops Sole Crusher, who returns back to Zoé, who was caught by Twilight.
Ladybug captured then purified the akuma, fixed everything with her Miraculous Ladybug, and the three did their signature "Pound it!"
Ladybug opens her yo-yo and pulls out a Magical Charm.
"This is a magical charm, Zoé. *puts it in her hand* With it, Shadow Moth can't get to you any longer. Always keep it with you to remember what you overcame today."
"Thank you, Ladybug. You really are miraculous."
"Bug out!" she said as she and the boys left with Zoé watching them leave.
Dusk, at the Seine...
Suffice to say, everything that happened today was good again. Even everything that happened at school earlier.
Zoé came to the Seine where everyone was aboard Liberty.
She met everyone before apologizing for how she acted today and explained why she was acting like that.
Apparently, she just wanted to meet my family's expectations. At the boarding school in New York where she used to go, she was being someone she didn't want to be and ended up with no one liking her.
But hey, now that she's in Paris, and she doesn't have to feel that way again.
There's just one thing that has to be cleared up though.
A bit later at the little shindig on the houseboat, noticed Aaron. She walked up to him and said joking a bit, "Aaron, right? Or should I call you Ace?"
"Aaron's fine." he said with a smile.
"Hey, I'm sorry about, well, avoiding you the whole day. It's funny because I'm actually a fan of yours and- *sigh* Can I make it up to you somehow?"
"Hmm...Ooh, I know what you could do. *Turns* Hey, Luka!"
Zoé looked in confusion as Luka came over and Aaron whispered something into his ear.
Luka nodded then went to the stage and said that they were gonna sing a song with Aaron singing.
Rose politely moved as Aaron took her place at the mic.
Play 'OK Friday' by CG5, Annapantsu, and Rustage
Aaron bobbed his head to the starting beat. He turned his head to Zoé, who was surprised. She could tell what song he was gonna sing.
(Aaron) "I'll run away, and take you home,
Our love is high, can't take you slow,
Refrains, I'ma blow by those
Guns through the thorns for my rose.
So play my waves,
Stay by my shoulder til they call game over
No break, no way,
See me shinin' on the stage.
When the baseless teen
Faces schemes,
And bass is ringing out,
I'm impatiently chasin' dreams,
Erasing every doubt.
Taking you to see Kauai,
It's all figured out.
This true love like a show,
And I can't go on alone."
He quickly put his transition lenses on as he sang the next verse.
"Got it locked and loaded
Stacking bodies like a school ground
You go toe to toe with Pico
we know i go all out.
Ugh,
Best be prepared for the fallout
Thunder and lightning
Bring waves like a storm cloud
Bam bam,
Don't do the talking, ain't here for chit chat,
Madman,
Watch how I'm giving a lil bit back,
Spit that venom,
I'm giving B.F.s a lethal dose,
I can do it scot-free
Like its Pico Mode."
He took the lenses off and sung normally.
"When the baseless teen
Faces schemes,
And bass is ringing out,
I'm impatiently chasin' dreams,
Erasing every doubt.
Taking you to see Kauai,
It's all figured out.
This true love like a show,
And I can't go on alone.
OK, really tho,
Friday, here we go,
Your momma wanna make me cry,
But it's gonna be one funky night.
Sunset gettin' low,
Friday, here we go,
Your momma wanna make me cry,
But it's gonna be one funky night."
Thanks to Aaron's singing, everyone got into the groove and gave into moving to the music a bit.
Then came a new voice who sounded exactly like the female who sang the next verse when the song came out. They all turned to see who it was and everyone, minus Aaron, was starstruck.
Including, Chloé and Audrey who were watching all of them from above.
(Zoé) "So let's get real, I'm tired of the 'won't they?'
Isn't it obvious? No money, but we rich,
Our love's insured, this flow is the co-pay,
Feel into the rhythm when I kiss your lips.
Thinking out loud to you, my babe,
When you're singin' out, it'll make my day,
No matter up, down, or sideways,
It's only you."
She was pulled in front of the band by Aaron.
(Aaron and Zoé) "So let's get real, I'm tired of the 'won't they?'
We're so obvious in love.
This Friday night,
We come alive.
I can tell no lie.
It feels so right."
When they repeated singing 'This Friday night,' everyone got back into a groove, but you could tell from Chloé's face that she didn't like the fact that her sister was associated with Aaron of all people.
The singing duo now both had microphones and they sung the final verse together.
"OK, really tho,
Friday, here we go,
Yo momma wanna make me cry,
But it's gonna be one funky night.
Sunset gettin' low,
Friday!
This true love like a show,
And I can't go on alone!
When the baseless teen
Faces schemes,
And bass is ringing out,
I'm impatiently chasin' dreams,
Erasing every doubt.
Takin' you to see Kauai,
It's all figured out!
This true love like a show,
And I can't go on alone."
End song!
Everyone applauded for the two, before Aaron said to Zoé, "I knew it was you."
"Yeah, about that, you're not disappointed it was me, are you? I mean, after avoiding you all day, and-"
"You kidding?! I'm grateful it was you! For the longest, I kept wondering, 'Who could that girl be?' and now I know! Now that question can no longer haunt me."
Zoé giggled at that.
"Zoé, thank you. Don't let your sister bring you down after hearing this, but I think you're amazing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, okay?"
Her face flushed a bit, but no one noticed. "...Okay."
Eeyup, the second girl that'll be crushing on Aaron is Zoé!
Man, I almost feel sorry for Chloé for the upcoming stuff I'll type...Almost.
Anyway, that's all I had.
Any thoughts you guys have, feel free to tell me if you want.
Now with nothing else to say, I'll see y'all later.
Peace!
