-Within the timestream-

Within the realm of black and white, the black spots spanning in every direction, time and space intermingle to form entrance ways to all possibilities and branches in time.

Very few have entered this untouched realm, save the holder of the Rabbit Miraculous, as everything seemed peaceful.

Until the camera zoomed closer and closer to a particular spot, revealing a small puzzle box made of obsidian, covered in several thick black chains and had numerous stone seals attached to the sides by red string, floating within the polka dotted void in an aimless orbit through a sea of concentrated tachyons.

However, at a nearby polkadot, something white seemed to move towards it.

WOOOOOSH!

CRASH!

CRACK!

Breaking the chains upon contact as the box seemed to develop white cracks along it's obsidian surface. It continued to float, moving over near one spot before being engulfed, and vanished.

(Elsewhere)

-Paris-

It was a calm day in Paris as the black spot appeared over a certain bakery's balcony and vanished.

Crash!

Leaving behind the box as it slowly began to shake and crack from the white veins, the chains fell to the ground before disappearing into a dark mist. It seemed to give off a low pulse of darkness while the door leading to the balcony opened up, with the screen showing the box underneath a sunchair next to the door, unnoticed by the girl.

"Ahhh, it's a beautiful day out." she sighed while revealing herself to be Marinette, who just got back from busting another Akumas and was in need of a nap. She made her way to the chair, her foot lightly nudging the box without noticing, and laid down on it with a happy sigh as she closed her eyes with Tikki floating out.

"I'll keep an eye out for anything wrong Marinette, enjoy your nap."

"Ok Tikki." she said while the kwami floated away, not noticing the box slowly cracking even more as it seemed to be ready to explode.

'What a day.' Marinete thought with a sigh, which turned quickly into a frown. 'Seeing Adrien becoming an evil version of Cat, nearly destroying the universe all in the name of love….ugh. That was creepy.'

She closed her eyes, rolling on her side as she let the sun's rays help her relax, quickly passing out in no time flat as one of her hands dangled over the side, with the box started to bounce a little, the veins growing more and more.

Soon however, the box shook before it broke apart into pieces, which wound up being reduced to dust, with a ruby encrusted magenta colored ring rolling over and touching the fingers, causing it to glow before a magenta orb popped out and floated out from under Marinette, then popped.

"Ahhh, free at last~" sighed the tiny figure, shown to be the same color magenta, with long bird wings on the limbs, clawed talons, a long beak with a single ruby attached to the lower jaw, magenta eyes, and a long magpie tail that wrapped around the body and formed a boa like wrap around her shoulders. "How long have I waited, how long have I yearned, for so sweet freedom~"

As the figure, sounding very feminine with a hint of happiness to her tone, looked upon her surroundings, she stretched and quickly noticed the human sleeping on the chair.

"Oh, and what pray tell is this?" she wondered, floating down and looked Marinette over, finding her sleeping face adorable. "I haven't seen a human girl in….huh, 2000 years or so." she landed on Marinette's side without waking her. "If I'm free from that prison, it must be a sign of faith itself, which means I'm free to spread my message far and wide, as a thank you, I shall grant it to you." she smiled floating up near Marinette's face. "I shall bestow a gift onto you, for those around you to see your virtues more than they did before, which will lead to more~" she purred before pecking the girl on the cheek before moving over to the ring and picking it up. "And I shall watch from afar to see your joy~"

The girl slept on while her body seemed to glow magenta, the kwami flying away as she seemed to be excited about this human's life, especially a certain part of it.

(A few hours later)

"Zzzzzzz." she snored while drooling on the balcony floor.

"Marinette? It's time to wake up."

"Zzzzz." she snored while rolling on her back. "No Cat...I will not kiss...zzzz."

"Marinette!"

"AH!" she yelped, waking up and springing up. "What's going on? Are we under attack?"

"No, I just wanted to wake you up."

She groaned. "Not funny. I really had a good dream."

"Rejecting Cat's advances?"

"Yes."

'Oh Marinette, how you are so ignorant of your crush's double life.' she shook her head. "Well maybe you should go ahead and get started on your homework, didn't you say it's due tomorrow?"

"Ahhh! You're right! I completely forgot!" she yelled before getting up and ran into her room.

"Try not to fall asleep on the table, again."

"I know!"

(Next day)

"Zzzzzz." Marinette snored while sleeping at her table, drool covering her homework in the process.

"Maybe I shouldn't have let her nap too long yesterday." Tikki sweatdropped as the alarm clock began to buzz loudly. "Marinette, it's nearly time for school."

"Zzzzz….pancakes? No Cat...no pan...zzzzz." she snored while rolled to the side, falling onto the floor in the process. "EEP!"

"Marinette, you have to get ready for school."

"Oh shoot!" she yelled while running to get her bag ready, not knowing that her pants were unbuttoned and her shirt was lopsided to reveal her red bra. "Why didn't you wake me up sooner!?"

"I figured you'd get up on your own just fine."

"Well it didn't work!" she yelled while putting her books in the bag and ran out of the room.

"Marinette! Your clothes!"

SLAM!

"...oh no."

Marinette rushed downstairs where her parents were in the middle of getting the bakery opened. "Sorry, I don't have time for breakfast!"

As they saw their daughter running out of the building, they noticed her exposed panties and bra, making them pale in disbelief.

'Oh no.' both thought at once.

(At school)

'Must hurry! MUST HURRY!' she thought, not bothering to pay attention to her surroundings, just on the route to school with anyone seeing her blushing or gawking with a few covering their kid's eyes. 'I can't be late again! It'll be the third time this week!'

As she moved into the school's ground, not seeing the student's wide eyes, she raced into the hallways and-

BAM!

Crashed into Alya, knocking them both down to the ground.

"Ah! Sorry!"

"Geez girl, someone's in a hurry." Alya let out, looking at her friend, and quickly noticing the messed up clothes, went wide eyed. "Uh, girl? Please tell me you didn't run all the way here dressed like that."

"What? I dress like this all the time, Alya." she frowned while not seeing her clothes or her exposed undergarments.

"In the semi nude?" she asked while pointing to her unbuttoned pants and then her exposed bra.

Marinette looked down, only to let out a high pitched squeak as she tried to cover herself, going bright red, which to Alya made her chuckle, a faint magenta glow coming off the girl. "I-I-I-I-I-"

"Easy girl, let's go get you fixed up." She grabbed her friend by the shoulder and directed her to the washroom.

'Why!?' Marinette thought in embersmant while Alya looked over the girl's body.

'Huh, Marinette's kinda cute. Why haven't I noticed that?' Alya thought in confusion while chuckling at her friend's antics.

"I-I-I need to go home! Then I can crawl under the covers and never worry about dying of embarrassment, I can't get people ogling at me if they don't see me…"

"See you in your underwear? Or looking like a half asleep kid on a saturday?" Alya teased.

"You know what." sputtered Marinette as she went into a stall to get fixed with Alya crossing her arms.

"I'm surprised girl, never pegged you as someone who went with red."

"Alya!"

"Relax, it's not like I've never seen a bra before." she chuckled. "My sister is always leaving bras out in the bathroom, usually on saturdays."

She groaned in embarrassment while one of the stalls opened to reveal Chloe walking out.

'I hate public bathrooms, always disgusting.' she thought in disgust before seeing Marinette, and started to chuckle a little. "Wow Dupein-Cheng, having a rough morning like usual?"

"Not right now Chloe." she grumbled looking away as she got her clothes fixed and double checked. 'I don't need her finding out, she'd probably send photos all over the school.'

But strangely enough, she didn't take out her phone at all, she just looked at Marinette with interest as her body gained the same magenta aura around her.

'Huh? Cute? No no, she's not cute at all….right?' she thought as Alya and Marinette left her alone, which irked her. 'Why would she be cute!?'

(Later on)

Marinette groaned while hiding in the back of the class, Juleka sitting right next to her as said girl looked confused at her current situation. 'I'm so mortified! MORTIFIED!'

"You alright?"

"No, right now I feel like this is the worst day of my life."

"Did you get dumped?"

"No. I came into school...half naked."

Juleka blinked while snickering a little. "That would be a little bad, but it's not like you ripped your pants or something."

"Knowing my luck today, that'll probably happen during gym." she grumbled while Juleka patted her on the back, said goth finding Marinette right now more endearing than usual.

"Don't worry about it." she said with a small smile. "You'll have a good day, because you're kinda the embodiment of...positivity."

"No, that's more like Rose."

"Well, you're a close second."

"Close second to what?" asked Rose while walking next to Marinette and sat down.

"Being your clone for positivity." Juleka said frankly.

"...really? Am I that positive? Wow."

"You kidding? Everyone knows that Rose." Marinette looked at the blond. "I don't think anyone's ever seen you down in the dumps."

She smiled while patting Marinette's back. "That's so nice of you Marinette." before giving the girl a hug, making Juleka frown before she hugged the girl as well.

"Hope this makes things feel better."

"Yeah, it does." smiled Marinette, unaware of the glares Alya and Chloe were giving to the two girls. Of course, they weren't the only ones either.

'What is Marinette doing?' thought Lilia while currently sitting across the classroom. 'Letting those girls hug her like that. Really, have you no shame….and why am I getting all worked up about it? I hate her...right? No no, I do hate her.'

'Since when did Juleka and Rose hug someone else other than each other?' thought Alix with a raised eyebrow.

'Strange.' thought Sabrina with a confused look on her face. 'Very...odd.'

'I hope everythings ok with Marinette, she seems like she's having a rough morning.' thought Mylene.

'Mmmm. Strange.' thought Mireille while walking past the classroom hallway and noticed the hug. 'I wonder what's going on here?'

That's when Miss Bustier entered the classroom with a smile. "Morning everyone."

The class stiffened while Juleka and Rose kept on hugging Marinette. "Morning Miss Bustier."

She nodded before seeing the two girls hugging Marinette. "What is going on here?"

"Marinette was having a rough start today, that's all." spoke up Alya quickly to the rescue.

"How so?"

"Just having a rough day." she said while drawing a blank on what to use as an excuse.

"She nearly got mugged." Rose said. "She was really scared about nearly getting hurt."

"But Ladybug saved her life." Juleka added. "But in the scuffle, she lost her wallet and it had a photo of her parents."

"Oh my, I'm so sorry Marinette, will you be alright?" asked their teacher in worry.

"Uh...yeah, I'll be fine. I can get those replaced." she nodded, caught off guard by the surprise fib by the two girls.

Miss Bustier nodded before getting her lesson underway, a strange emotion forming in her heart for the 'mugged' student.

"Thanks girls." Marinette whispered.

"Any time." Alya whispered back with a smirk.

"Same." Rose smiled. "Any time."

"That's what friends are for." Juleka nodded.

Marinette smiled. 'Aw. So sweet.'

Lila noticed this, making her grip her pencil, nearly snapping it. 'So, those two think they can get so buddy buddy with Marinette huh?'

As she frowned at the girl, she didn't notice that Sabrina was thinking the same exact thing, but less malicious.

'I wonder if I could do something for her? I know! I could go get her a brand new wallet when she's by herself, as long as Chloe doesn't notice.' she thought with a smile while writing down a note in her notebook.

(A bit later)

Marinette blinked as Alix sat next to her in the cafeteria, eating a cheese sandwich in the process. "Alix?"

"Yeah?" she asked while letting some cheese drip from her mouth.

"Not that I don't mind you sitting here, but….did you really have to trip Alya?" she asked, nodding to her friend who had wound up crashing into several trays when Alix 'accidentally' bumped into her while skating into the cafeteria.

"What? She was in the way." She said innocently.

Marinette deadpanned at her while wiping Alix's lips with a napkin. "It still seemed rude, and you may wanna keep a napkin nearby, you're letting the cheese drip out."

She lightly blushed. "Thanks, but I wasn't being rude."

"I doubt it." Alya deadpanned in annoyance as she sat next to Marinette. "What's the big rush?"

"What? I wanted to beat Kim here."

"And crashing into me?"

"Accident, simple as that." she casually shrugged.

Alya frowned at that.

"Anyway." Alix smirked. "Marinette, want to go skating later?"

"Well-"

"Me and Marinette are going shopping later today." Alya frowned.

"Wait what?" Marinette said in confusion. "We aren't doing that today."

"Well we are now." she frowned while glaring at Alix, not noticing that Aurore was walking towards Marinette's table and sat across from her.

'I really need a better schedule.' she thought while noticing a strange 'smell' coming from Marinette, which seemingly was sweet and bitter at the same time. She looked up at said girl, blushing since she swore the girl was giving off a faint glow that was making her heart beat faster. 'What's this feeling...it's really...I don't know.'

"She doesn't want to be near you." Alix said casually. "So Marinette's coming with me this afternoon."

"Nooo, she's coming with me."

"Ahem." Aurore coughed, getting their attention. "Do you mind? Some of us are trying to eat, like your friend that you seem to be smothering to death."

Both blinked as they noticed that they were a little too close to Marinette's face and moved back to let her breath. "Sorry."

"It's fine." she waved them off. "Maybe we could try and do both. You know, go shopping and then go to the park for some skating, although I might pass on doing any skating myself, I'd probably fall over and land on my face, so I might just watch you do it Alix."

Both felt their hearts skip a beat as Aurore shook her head.

"Marinette." she said calmly. "If you don't mind me asking, did you get any new perfume?"

"No, why?"

"Because you seem to...well, smell like a strawberry cupcake in the oven." she said with a shrug. "No idea why, but it smells like it to me."

Marinette blinked before recalling that her parents were baking said cupcakes earlier last night, so she might have eaten some in her sleep or something. "Well that's part of what can happen when you live in a bakery."

She nodded. "I see, then I will have to visit that bakery next time, maybe later today even." 'The smell is so...intoxicating.'

As the two other girls gained alarm bells in their heads, none of them noticed that Lila was listening in on the conversation and was kinda pissed for some reason.

'Oh sure, flock to her instead of me. How conceited of you Marinette.' she thought with a low growl as Chloe seemed to be having the same thoughts a few tables away.

'What is going on with Marinette getting so much attention?' she thought, raising an eyebrow with her own heart beating faster. 'Something is up, and it's ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.'

That was when both noticed that Marinette was actually smiling at the suggestion Aurore made, making them see red.

'Oh she's so dead!'

(A bit later)

Lila watched Alya, Marinette, and Alix leave school, making sure not to be seen. 'Let's see what those two fools will try to do with Marinette.'

As she carefully moved from corner to corner, she felt like her heart was beating as fast as a steam locomotive.

'Mmm, just where are they going?' she thought before seeing Marinette bumping into Kagami, who was currently talking to Adrien about something she didn't care about at all. 'Really? How could she NOT notice the only girl in a white tux in front of her!?'

"Oh! Sorry Kagami." apologized Marinette before noticing Adrien and stiffened up. "H-H-H-Hi Adrien!"

"Hey Marinette." he smiled back while Lili deadpanned.

'Just date you idiots! No wait, don't date! I want to see you squirm more!'

"Greetings Marinette." spoke Kagami, noting the girl blushing and finding it cute and feeling as though something was different, but couldn't see what.

"Sup you two." greeted Alya. "What are you two up to?"

"I was just talking to Adrien about his father." Kagami said with a sigh. "It was about...well..."

"Kagami wanted to see if we could get my dad and her mom together, he's been a little lonely and maybe it could make him less strict? You know, fill the gap in his heart." Adrien said with a small chuckle.

'...that is stupid.' the girls thought at once, sans Marinette who thought only about how to NOT look like an idiot in front of her crush.

'Calm down Marinette, keep it together. No reason to stumble over yourself, just act natural!' She thought nervously. "Oh...great! Get for them! Yeah, let them marry!"

"Yeah, that'll work out." muttered Alix sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

"Huh?" Adiren said in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"She's a very mean lady."

"No offense Kagami."

"None taken. I'm well aware of my mother's strict attitude, but she means well." Kagami sighed.

"But-"

"So Kagami." Alya smiled falsely. "If you're not too busy, me and Marinette will be shopping-"

"Oh really? Can I come? My wardrobe needs some more white tuxes." Kagami interrupted with a smile.

"Oh! That sounds….great."

'Another girl? What's Marinette thinking?!' Lili thought in confusion as Kagami stood next to Marinette.

"Adrien, sorry but I have to go."

"Oh that's alright, I better head back home myself or else my father will be mad." He said while walking off. "Later Marinette!"

Alix glared at him while sticking her tongue at him.

"Shall we depart now?" questioned Kagami.

"Yes." Alya frowned with gritted teeth. "Let's."

And so the four walked off, Lila narrowing her eyes, but noticing a limo parked on another street with Chloe looking out the window making her scoff under her breath.

"The nerve of her." Chloe growled. "That should be ME giving her better shopping advice, not the tom boy swordswoman!"

"Chloe? Maybe we should head back to the hotel, I need to get started on your homework." spoke Sabrina, really just wanting Chloe away so she could sneak off and get Marinette's new wallet.

"No, we are following them, right now." She frowned while Sabrina grumbled to herself. "Driver! Get moving."

The limo drove off while in the distance, a magenta orb floated over the Parisian skyline.

(Later on)

"I still fail to understand why you needed to buy two pairs of skates." Kagami spoke to Alix. "Aren't the ones you already own in perfect condition?"

"Because it's a limited edition pair of skates, duh." She frowned while looking kinda childish. "You can't get them anywhere else."

"Still, it seems...pathetic in a way. Like it will one day seem trivial or too expensive to hold onto naturally."

"Says the girl who just wanted copies of the same outfit she has on now."

"I like uniformity."

"And looking like a man." Alix smirked.

"I do NOT look like a man!" she snapped at the girl with a frown with Marinette trying to move in between them.

"Girls! Calm down."

"She started it!" Both yelled as Alya snickered in the background.

"Just like siblings." she remarked before draping an arm around Marinette's shoulders. "Relax girl, they'll get tired of fighting, or at least get bored before you know it."

"True."

"Now let's go get something to eat." She said while leading the girl away from the two bickering friends. "Maybe something with beef? What do you think, Marinette?"

"Shouldn't we let them know?"

"No no, they will figure it out later." she said with a sly smirk. "But right now, it's just us best friends having lunch."

'Why does that smirk remind me of Lila?'

"So what do you feel up for? It's my treat."

"Um….maybe a burger?"

"Ah, then burgers it is." she smirked while not seeing Lila following behind them.

'Damn it! She is more fox-like than me!' she thought in anger. 'I better step things up a notch.'

(During lunch)

Alya frowned while currently sitting next to her sister, Nora, who was looking for her and suddenly decided to have lunch with them, although she was a little pissed that Nora was letting Marinette SIT on her lap. 'She never lets ME do it, so WHY her!?'

"Uh, Nora?"

"Yes?"

"Can I get off?" Marinette asked.

"No, not until you're finished with your meal."

"Uh…."

"Let her sit normally." Alya glared at her older sister.

"Mmmm, no. I feel like the seats in this mall are too filthy, so I'll be her seat until she's done." she smirked. "Plus your friend seems to enjoy my thick lap."

'She's not wrong.' Marinette thought with a blush at how toned it was, but still felt embarrassed about the whole thing in general. 'This reminds me of when dad used to let me sit on his lap.'

As the two sisters glared at each other, neither one noticed that Sabrina and Chloe were watching from behind a pillar, although Sabrina was currently window shopping for a new wallet.

'Great.' Chloe frowned. 'The sisters are here and letting HER use that gorilla's lap as a seat? How ridiculous!'

'Red or green? Mmmm, maybe a pink wallet, it does fit her style.' Sabrina thought with a calculating smile.

'How many more girls are going to show up?!' thought Lila hiding behind a magazine while sitting at one of the far away tables. 'I mean it, just how many girls are going to meet with Marinette!?' That was when Lila noticed that Ondine was walking near Marinette's table with a tray full of salad. 'Oh you've got to be kidding me!'

'Where should I sit?' she thought before seeing Marinette and felt her body getting warmer for some reason. 'Huh? Is the AC malfunctioning...oh god. It's so hot in here.'

"Really Nora, you're embarrassing us. Maybe you should go to the gym, or home, or somewhere else." Alya frowned.

"Not until she's done with her meal." She frowned back as Ondine started to fan herself and sat next to Marinette.

'So hot!' She thought while looking ready to pass out from heatstroke. 'Need something cold!'

"Oh Ondine. Wh-" Marinette tried to say before Ondine moved towards her and hugged her.

"Ah...sorry….very warm...and your body is...surprisingly cold..." she said while panting a little, not seeing the girl's bright red face.

"Woah woah woah, what's the big idea?" frowned Alix.

"Marinette." Kagami frowned while both girls walked towards the table. "You left us to eat, sit on someone's lap and THEN let a stranger hug you? That is really indecent."

"I-I-It's not what you think!" Marinette stuttered while trying not to faint from Ondine's very warm body or from the embarrassment she was feeling right now. "A-Alya suggested lu-"

"Alya!?" Both glared at the girl as she whistled a little in an innocent way.

"What? I figured you two weren't hungry so we left you two to settle out your issues on your own." Alya smirked while Nora patted Marinette's head.

"Don't worry, I won't let them annoy you during your meal." She smiled. "Let your big sister deal with these fools."

"No really, they're not causing any problems." Marinette said while Lila grumbled.

'This is getting ridiculous.' She thought before seeing Sabrina walking over with a pink wallet in her hands.

"Here, a new wallet to replace the old one." She said with a light blush.

"Sabrina?" Marinette looked at the girl, caught off guard. "What are you talking about?"

"I heard about how you got mugged, so I came here to buy you a new one." she said while feeling embarrassed herself. "It's the newest one, waterproof and has a secret pocket in the back for your cards….y-you don't have to thank me or anything. It's...a gift."

Marinette blinked in surprise while the other girls looked at Sabrina with anger or envy, mostly anger.

"What is Sabrina doing?!" growled Chloe from her hiding spot.

Lila, who was right near said spot, blinked and turned to Chloe's direction. "Eh? Hey! Get your own hiding spot!" 'When did SHE get here!?'

"You!?"

And cue girls getting into a fight as Sabrina felt a little sheepish in front of Marinette for some reason, possibly due to the other girls glaring at her or possibly from her own upfront approach.

"...I'll just go."

"Wait wait." Marinette said quickly. "Stay, I'll make it up to you with some lunch, if you're willing to stay that is."

"You don't have to do that, I just wanted to help." she held her hands up with a smile.

"I insist." Marinette smiled, making the girl's heart melt.

"...fine." she blushed. "B-But not because I like it or anything. It's just...a lunch date, nothing more."

'Lunch date huh?' thought Alya with a glare as Sabrina sat at the table and looked around. "Hey Sabrina, where's Chloe?"

"She's somewhere, I lost track." she said while Alya looked suspicious about that.

'That's not convincing.' Alya frowned in her head. 'But she better not hog MY Marinette! Only I can do that!'

(Later that day)

Marinette sighed as she finally said goodbye to her friends, who left her to head back home, as she walked down the road back to her house, hoping no one else she knew would distract her from returning home on time.

But fate...wasn't on her side today, not one bit.

'What's with them today? I know some of them are protective but they were WAY too protective!' she thought with a sigh as she didn't notice Penny walking by her. 'Maybe it's just one of those days.'

Bump.

"Oh sorry." Marinette said while noticing who she was talking to. "Wait, Penny? What are you doing out here?"

"Jagged asked me to do some errands, most of which was to get food for Fang." she said calmly while feeling like her blood was boiling with passion when she locked eyes with the girl. "It's hard getting enough raw meat for a full grown crocodile in this city."

Marinette nodded while internally thinking of Penny running around looking for raw meat for a crocodile to be a little funny. "I'm guessing you've been running all over the place."

"Yes, and I was about to pass out." she sighed. "But seeing you actually made my body pump, like I could do a marathon twice."

"Really?"

"Apparently, although it could be your youth affecting me a little." she shrugged. "I am getting old."

"You? Never." Marinette said in shock. "You look young and beautiful."

She blushed at that. "Thanks."

"Do you need any help getting the food back to Jagged?"

"No no." she waved off. "I'm fine, thanks anyway."

Marinette nodded as Penny ran away, looking very excited for some reason. "Bye!"

As this occurred though, Marinette didn't notice that Lila and Chloe, having fought a little before teaming up, was watching her from the corner of an alleyway.

"There she is." Lila smirked. "And apparently she's making any girl that sees her feel...weird. Soon we can figure out what's going on and expose it to the world."

"I thought we were just tailing her." Chloe frowned. "I never gave you permission to do that."

"It's a necessary evil."

"Like you being a bitch?"

"Don't push your luck, blond bimbo."

"At least my hair's all natural."

"My hair is natural!" Lila growled while not noticing Nadja walking towards Marinette.

"Wait, who's that with Dupein-Cheng?" Chloe asked while pointing in the black haired girl's direction.

Lila blinked before turning around and blinked. "Wait, that's Nadja Chamack, the news reporter. Why is she even out and about on a weekday?"

"No idea, but isn't she a single mother?"

"Yeah...which means Marinette might have some weird power over women's hearts, or some shit like that." Lila frowned while feeling like she SHOULD have that power, not Marinette. 'Is this some kind of akuma power she got from Hawk Moth?'

"Oh hello Nadja." Marinette said with a smile. "What's going on?"

"Just taking a day off." she sighed while feeling relaxed in Marinette's presence. "The only one I'm currently taking this year."

"Oh, that's kinda rough."

"I know, but that's how life is. Especially when speaking out for the masses of Paris." she said with a shrug. 'Why am I so relaxed right now? It's really out of character...although having small talk with her makes my life a little bit easier, given I have to wake up at five in the morning tomorrow just to get to work on time. Ugh.'

"Well if you need me to babysit Manon, go ahead and give me a call." smiled the girl.

"Mmm, I'll think about it for later." she said with a nod. "She has been asking how you've been doing by the way."

"Really?"

"Yes, you're a role model for her."

Marinette blushed at that while feeling a little happy that someone saw her in that manner, instead of seeing Ladybug as such, even if it was alter ego.

"Well I better get on home, see you Marinette."

"Same with you Nadja."

She smiled at that before walking away, but not before saying to her. "You know Marinette, I do consider you a family friend, just a food for thought."

'Wow, she really trusts me." the girl thought in surprise, not noticing that Chloe and Lila were a little confused at her interaction with the news reporter. 'That kinda makes me feel appreciated. Ok, next time I babysit Manon, I'll make it the best time of her life.'

'Just what is going on with Marinette?' Chloe thought in confusion as she gripped the bottom of her pants tightly. 'And why am I feeling more and more...happy just by looking at her?'

Lila scoffed at Chloe's reaction while not noticing her own reaction, which was her biting her lip to the point of bleeding. 'Marinette, you are really tugging at the hearts of women, but I will find out your secret and make you squirm like a worm!'

(Later)

Marinette sighed while making it home, her mother greeting her at the door along with her father, none of them noticing that Lila and Chloe were behind a nearby shrubbery. "I'm home."

"Welcome home Marinette." smiled her dad. "I trust everything went well?"

"Well, not at first, but I got through the day."

"Speaking of which, maybe from now on, you take it slow and make sure you have ALL your clothes on." spoke Sabine with her arms crossed, Marinette turning red. "Otherwise you'll end up running out there in your birthday suit if you're not careful."

"M-Mom!" she blushed while Sabine shook her head.

"I suggest you bring an extra set of clothes, just in case." She smiled while her husband noticed Lila and Chloe watching them from the very low shrubbey, which didn't hide their heads at all.

"Ahem!"

Both girls jumped, making them turn and run off down the street.

"Huh? Chloe? Lila?" Marinette said in surprise.

"Friends of yours?"

"More like rivals." She grumbled a little. 'I can't believe I didn't see them, not once!'

"Well you better go ahead and relax, and make sure to finish up any homework you have before bed, alright?"

"Yes mom." Marinette said while walking inside, her father doing so as well as Sabine looked down the street with narrow eyes.

'Those girls are trouble, I can see it in their eyes.' she thought before walking back inside, not seeing the two girls slinking back towards the bakery and looked inside.

Only for the father to stare back from the stain glass, making them pale and run off a final time.

(The next day)

Marinette sighed as she walked, in her normal clothes thankfully, towards school, hoping that she didn't see Chloe of Lila on the walk itself. 'I don't know what seems to be their problem, but I just know Lila is gonna try and pull off a tall tale just to make me look bad.'

As she walked down the street, she noticed that Kagami was trying to answer her cell phone as her mother, Tomoe, was grumbling near the red car, which seemed to have a flat tire and a broken radiator.

"No signal." Kagami grumbled. "Sorry mother, but we are stuck here."

"It's fine." Tomoe grumbled. "The meeting with Gabrielcan wait a few more minutes, maybe hours more. He will understand."

"I hope so." Kagami sighed before seeing Marinette. "Marinette? Hello, what's going on?"

"I should be asking you two the same thing." she said while pointing to the car. "Did something happen?"

"The radiator overheated and the right tire got a flat from a nail." Kagami sighed while looking a little annoyed. "And because of that I can't get to school and my mother will be late for a meeting, and I can't just leave her alone to get a tow truck."

"Um….I could stay and help keep an eye on her Kagami." Marinette said with a nervous chuckle.

"Are you certain Marinette? Won't you be late?"

"Maybe, but I really don't mind." she smiled as Kagami felt her heart skip a beat. "Plus what are friends for?"

Kagami smiled back and nodded. "Alright, I trust you Marinette."

She nodded back as Kagami walked away.

"Make sure mother is safe."

"I will!" Marinette called out as Tomoe rolled her eyes behind her shades.

"She really thinks I can't protect myself." she muttered to herself as Marinette sat next to her.

"So, how are you?"

"Fine, but I have a splitting back pain that doesn't seem to go away."

"Oh." she said while unsure what to say next, since the last time she encountered her, she was akumatized and trying to kill her.

"So, you are the Marinette girl my daughter is friends with?"

"Yes I am."

"Mmm...acceptable, but I will hold my final judgement." she said with a grim tone.

"I see...so have any interesting stories?"

"No."

'Well this is going well.' she thought sarcastically. 'Think Marinette, what could you try and talk to her about that doesn't seem bland or boring? Think, she's firm, strict, and wasn't too keen on me hanging out with Kagami. But she does know Adrien and his dad, which means…' "You know, lately I've been thinking I should try something different with some of my clothing designs."

"And?"

"And I thought since you-"

"I might be friends with a famous fashion designer, but I don't have the right experience with designing. Besides, I'm blind."

"Well actually, I was curious if you had any tips on what fabric feels better. I wanna try and make clothes that don't just look good, but are functional and feel good to wear."

Tomoe raised an eyebrow while nodding. "I see, what fabric is it exactly? Velvet? Silk? Cotton?"

"Well, in your personal experience, what seems to feel easier to move in? I've heard different fabrics work for different people, so maybe if I could make something that's not too itchy, and breathes just right, it could make a big difference."

"...here's a bit of advice. Try to choose the fabric that suits you, like silk, that is a universally adored fabric, but it can break easily. So try something that makes you comfortable and go from there."

"If you'd like, maybe I could work on something that you'd like."

"Oh? Really now, my tastes?" she said in surprise. "Aren't you a sweet one."

"Well, I just want to make you happy." she said while not knowing she just said something that made the older woman's heart melt a little. "So, what's your favorite fabric?"

"...silk, but on rare occasions it's velvet."

"Alright, if you know your measurements I could jot them down and see what I can come up with this weekend, if that works for you I mean." she quickly clarified trying to be respectful.

"Very well, I'll hold you to that request." she said while making the faintest of smiles.

(A little latter)

Beep beep beep.

Kagami sighed as the tow truck finally arrived at its destination, hoping her mother wasn't a jerk to Marinette. But as she made her way over, she was surprised to see the two laughing about something. 'Eh? What's going on?' As she moved closer, she noticed that they were talking about...embarrassing moments of Kagami's early childhood. 'Oh no!'

"And that is why I called her Sink Queen." Tomoe chuckled. "And to this day she always tries to fit into the sink to bathes, well when she was ten, but now she's a mature adult with a silly crush on Gabriel's son, not that it will go anywhere since blondes are kinda stupid about love."

"Oh man, that's kinda funny. Tell me another one, Tomoe!"

"Very well, this is the story of when Kagami thought that oni, demons, lived in her close-"

"Mother! Marinette! I have returned!" she yelled while running to them.

"Oh Kagami." Tomoe said calmly. "You came back just in time for a story about the time you tried to burn your closet in fear of the oni."

"Mother!"

"She did what?"

'Oh she tried to Marinette, she tried. But she didn't know that lamps don't burn heat, especially when it had cardboard flames tapped to the bottom."

Marinette had to stifle a giggle with Kagami turning red.

"T-The tow truck is here." Kagami stuttered. "It's time to go."

"Ah, good to hear." Tomoe stood up while smiling at Marinette. "It was good talking to you Marinette, I'll have my measurements sent over and leave you to your work."

"And you won't be disappointed Tomoe." She smiled while Tomoe patted her head affectionately.

"I know you won't. And when we next meet, I'll tell you the story of when Kagami tried to dress up like me for her birthday, with mixed results."

"M-Mother!" cried out Kagami covering her face from embarrassment.

Marinette chuckled while seeing the two leave, only to look at her watch and saw that school was nearly over. 'Oh no! I've been here for five hours!'

And just like that, she ran quickly down the road.

(At school)

Marinette groaned while the gates were closed, making her feel very stupid in her previous desision, but not much as she did do a good deed. "Ugh! Now I'm going to have a tardy on my permanent record!"

"Sucks to be you." said a voice from behind the girl, revealed to be Vivica, Jagg's new hired guitarist, who was currently holding some groceries in her hands. "But hey, at least you didn't intentionally play hooky right?"

"Wait, aren't you….uh…."

"Vivica."

"Yeah! You know Jagged Stone, right?"

"Yes, although I was nearly fired because I ate his cereal." she sighed. "But hey, at least he rehired me, that's good. So are you in need of a friend right now, or a rocking guitarist to lift your spirits up a little?"

"I don't know, I didn't really expect this." she sighed. "I did one good deed for a friend and her mom, and somehow it led to this. I've been nearly late sure, but not like this!"

She nodded. "Well that's how the world works. You do something good, it comes back around and vice versa. But you have to make the most of it in the now."

Marinette blinked while liking the sound of that logic.

"So are you sure you don't want me to lift your spirits with my music?" she asked with a smirk.

"...well, I guess one song couldn't hurt." Marinette shrugged, only to see Vivica pull out a guitar from out of nowhere and strummed it a little.

"Ok! This one's for you!" she grinned while making some very loud music.

And by loud, it really meant loud as it actually felt like a real concert for some reason.

(A hour of songs later)

'One song! I asked for one song, NOT TWENTY ROCK AND ROLL LOVE SONGS!' Marinette yelled in her head as Vivian kept on singing about 'love' and 'rock and roll heaven', her ears clamped tightly against her ears. 'Doesn't she ever get tired?'

As the girl kept on playing her instrument, she felt a rush of adrenaline that made her more eager to play anything that came out of her heart, that being love and the beauty of rock.

'I can't take it anymore!' Marinette thought in agitation before she walked over and pulled the guitar away. "NO MORE!"

"Eh? What gives?"

"Sorry, really, but...I think right now a break would be good." sighed Marinette with a smile.

Vivian frowned but nodded as she saw the melted ice cream in her bags. "Shit, need to go. Jagged really wanted some ice cream and I forgot about them."

"Oh, then get going then."

"Thanks, see you Marinette and rock on!" She yelled before running off with the bags, leaving the girl alone to nurse her eardrums.

'Ow. My ears.' She groaned while rubbing them with her hands.

(A bit later)

The girl groaned while wandering around Paris, really wanting to hide from her friends due to her embarrassment over the fact she unintentionally played hooky. 'Ok, maybe I can just sit by the water and try to relax.'

As she wandered around, she noticed Nathalie walking by her, seemily busy answering calls and looking over paperwork.

CRASH!

Until she accidentally tripped on her own feet and caused the papers to go flying everywhere.

"Shit! No no no!"

"Hold on!" Marinette called out while rushing to help the older woman out.

Both women ran around, quickly grabbing papers in the process, while unintentionally looking like natural acrobatics, given their own alter ego's abilities it wasn't surprising, but in their rush, they didn't even notice the other's skills at all. After a few minutes, all the papers were gathered and handed back to Nathalie safe and sound.

"Ah...here."

"Thanks." She sighed in relief while feeling a little better now. "Oh, Marinette. I didn't notice you, thanks for the assistance."

"Anytime." Marinette smiled while still on guard, for some reason. "But what were those papers for?"

"Submissions for Gabrial Agreste's next fashion show." she said with confidence. "Many of them need his seal of approval before they are even placed on the drawing board."

"Wow, all of those?"

"Yes."

"Huh, so I really saved the show then."

"Yes, but if you're looking for a reward I suggest you stop." she said with a serious tone.

"What no no, I wasn't thinking about a reward. I was just doing my civil duty, nothing else." she said quickly as Nathalie raised an eyebrow at her selflessness. "Well, I better get going. Oh, if you see Adrien, tell him I said hi."

"Why should I?"

"...because I'm a f-friend?" she stuttered out innocently.

"..."

"O-Or I'll tell him myself next time I see him." she said quickly while gulping a little. "Um...I'll be going now."

"Are you sure? I can call for a cab."

"No no, I like walking." she said quickly while walking away. "Later!"

"..." 'That girl really is a child, still one day Gabriel will have the miraculous and then maybe he will finally recognize me. Mmmm….maybe I can use her for that goal? Maybe ask him to turn her into a servant? A new protege? Mmmm….the possibilities are endless.'

(Later on)

'Scary!' Marinette thought while sitting on a bench in a park. 'She is really scary! And I have no idea why!' she rubbed her arm, feeling goosebumps. 'She really gives me the creeps.'

As she shivered from the fear in her body, she didn't notice that in the distance, a certain blond mother was getting out of a limo and walking down the dirt pathway.

"Ah! A nice stroll around the park, a needed recreation after being away for so long. America had lots of things but their Central park paled to Paris' many parks." Audrey smiled while feeling the air moved past her and made her feel as light as a feather. "Maybe I should do this more often? It certainly counts as my work out of the day."

As her eyes looked around, they noticed Marinette, making her raise her shades and raise an eyebrow.

'Oh? Isn't that the girl Chloe hates? Marinette Dupein-Cheng if I recall correctly.' she thought while looking intently at the girl. 'Huh, she is attractive. I give her that, a little lacking in some areas but given her age, she might fill up later on, hopefully in the 'right' places.'

'Why do I feel ogled?' Marinette thought while looking around nervously. 'Please don't let it be some weird creep.'

That was when the girl noticed the older woman looking at her direction and gulped.

'Of course, Chloe's mom. She must be looking at my clothes.' she thought while WAY off the mark at that one, since the older woman was looking at her body, not clothes. 'Must be thinking how tactful they are.'

'Mmm, should I walk over and introduce myself or keep walking?' pondered Audrey. 'I suppose it couldn't hurt, besides she might just fawn over my status, which isn't anything new.'

Marinette gulped before seeing the older woman walk over to her. "Oh...hi?"

"Audrey Bourgeois. Fashion expert." she said in a pleasant tone. "And you must be Marinette Dupein-Cheng, I heard about you from my daughter."

"Um, I know, we met before, remember?"

"Oh….to be honest, I do have a tendency to forget unimportant details." she said while Marinette deadpanned at her.

'No surprise there.' she thought with a frown.

"Anyway, have you ever been complimented on your body before?" the blonde asked. "If so, then you should express that body out a little more, I mean those rags are so...so...unrevealing and puffy. Try a tank top or sleeveless pants. It will make your life a little better in the long run."

"Oh. Well….I only go with stuff like that when it's really hot out."

"I see." she said while lowerling her shades a little. "Then you must be having some self confidence issues. If you want I can teach you how to better present yourself, maybe get you out of your shell and become a more 'average' woman, sexy and flaunts her body like it's a work of gold cast art."

'Was she ALWAYS this arrogant? Or that….strange!?' Marinette thought with a red face while feeling like Chloe was the more sane person in her family, and that was saying something.

"What do you say? Want to hang out with a real star and learn the ropes of being a proud Parisian lady?"

"I-"

"Good." she interrupted while taking her by the arm. "We can start by getting you some better clothes, those rags are so last month."

Marinette paled while getting dragged away by the older woman. 'Help!'

(Elsewhere)

Chloe shivered while feeling like something was wrong in the universe, which made her frown. 'Is it Marinette again? Damn it! I can't stop thinking about that...that...OOOH! I can't come up with a good comeback!'

As she grumbled, currently taking a bath and was in the nude, she didn't notice a magenta orb floating near the window.

"Mmm, she seems a little tough to crack. Same with a few others….maybe I should increase the magic a little?" pondered the kwami tapping her chin. "In that case, I'll need to pour on a teensy bit extra~"

The orb floated a little before zipping up into the skyline and began to draw in the magical powers from within herself for a 'special' spell of epic proportions.

The kwami flowed brightly as the ring in her hands started to turn into a ruby bow with a single plasma bowstring, a few pink arrows forming in the process.

"Time for some fun!" She grinned while letting the arrows loose. "LOVE'S KISS!"

TWANG!

WOOSH!

And like lightning the arrows went flying all over Paris, hitting several targets, including Chloe's heart.

"YEOW! Damn bees!" Chloe cried out from the bathroom as the orb floated away satisfied. "SABRINA! Get the bug spray!"

"Yes ma'am!"

Chloe groaned while feeling a little warm for some reason, her mind boiling with an unknown emotion. 'Bees, why bees?! I like bees but not their strings!'

(Later that day)

Marinette blushed as she walked back home, her attire now consisting of a yellow top, a black shirt sleeved jacket, ripped jean shorts that went to her hips, yellow high heeled platform shoes, and had a pair of yellow shades on her face.

The reason? Audrey's weird fixation on the colors yellow and black, which made her buy this attire for her before Marinette was able to get away from the older woman's wardrobe suggestions.

Needless to say, she was being looked at with either lust or amazement, showing that the older blonde did have a good eye for making girls stand out.

'This is so embarrassing, what if Adrien sees me like this? I feel...so unclean!' she thought while not seeing Lila walking down the road, only for the liar to stop and take a good look at the girl's attire.

'...holy shit. She ACTUALLY looks like a badass!' she thought in surprise, her face turning red for some reason as her lower regions began to drip a little. 'Lila likes!'

After a few seconds of this, the liar was able to slap herself back to sanity and frowned at the girl, deciding to follow her to 'make sure' the girl wasn't trying something 'bad' aka just wanted a better look at Marinette's new attire and how it actually made the girl's curves more apparent.

'Since when did a goody two shoes like Marinette go with yellow?' she thought while sneaking right behind the girl, getting an eye full of Marinette's ass. 'And has her ass always been that big? No no, it hasn't...still, it does look good with those clothes. He he, NO! Stop! Stop getting moist with the goody two shoes! She's NOT your friend! She's NOT your friend. She's my wif-NO! I mean enemy, not wife! No no, NOT wife!'

Marinette sighed while turning a corner, feeling like she wanted to hide under a rock, only to hear someone muttering to themselves right behind her.

"She isn't hot. No, she isn't hot." Lila muttered, a little too loudly. "It's not because her clothes are good, it's not. Just calm down, calm do-"

"Lila?"

She paled while turning to Marinette, who was staring at her in confusion, moved backwards and started to sweat a little. 'SHIT!' "H-H-Hi…"

"What are you even doing? Looking for another story to lie about?" she frowned with suspicion.

"What no no!" she said quickly. "I was...um...admiring the clothes, yeah. They looked good on your Marinette, no lies. I mean it, I am not lying here at all."

Marinette raised an eyebrow at her 'rival'. "Really? You, Lila Rossi, actually say you're admiring my clothes."

"Yes!" she snapped, making both girls surprised at the raised tone. "I-I mean...yes." 'Why did I yell that!?'

"Let's be honest Lila, you're just saying that to get under my skin." Marinette crossed her arms. "Well I'm not buying it."

"No I'm not!" she huffed. "I'm being nice, really I am. You look nice and I really like the new look. It's...hot."

"Wh-"

"I mean swell! Yeah...swell." Lila blushed while feeling like a schoolgirl, literally.

'What's going on with her?'

"A-Anyway. I must go. Bye!" she said before running into-

BAM!

A pole, only for her to rub her head quickly and run away in embarrassment.

'I don't know what she's up to, but I'm not falling for it.' Marinette thought before walking away, not knowing that this day is going to become...something else entirely.

(A few hours later)

Marinette sighed while back in her room, her attire still the yellow and black 'monstrosity', as she sat on the bed and tried to calm herself down.

The reason? Her mother found out about the ditching school and while yes she wasn't punished, she was still going to have an earful later.

'This can't get any worse.' she thought with a sigh. But after saying that, Sabine herself opened the door, making her way into the room. 'Here we go.'

"Marinette." she said while walking into the room and sat on the bed. "We have to talk."

"I know. The ditching school stuff."

"Actually no." she said calmly, making Marinette blink. "I already know that you were helping someone out and that was why you were late."

"Then what is this about?"

"It's about us." she said with a smile. "I know we have been busy, your father and I, with the bakery and haven't been keeping a better eye on you. So, perhaps later this week we could have a family day, just the three of us, nothing else."

"Oh! That sounds awesome." smiled Marinette before looking away. "So...does this mean I'm not grounded?"

"Grounded? Why would you even think that?"

"Well…"

Sabine sighed. "You aren't grounded dear, you were in the right this time."

'This time?' Marinette thought in confusion.

"But promise me you won't try and run late to school again? We are paying for your intuition and if you waste it by not attending classes, it will ruin your life and waste our money in the process."

"I know, and I'll try harder not to let it happen again." she said while Sabine hugged her daughter, making her a little relaxed.

But unbeknownst to the girl, her mother was sniffing her hair a little and had a gaze that would make Cruella De Vil creeped out.

"I know dear." she said while rubbing her daughter's back. "I know." 'Mine.'

Tikki meanwhile watched this with a smile from her hiding spot, but noticed a faith glow coming from Sabine making her eyes widen. 'Wait...that glow. No no, that's impossible, she's sealed away in Hopp's holes, she can't have been freed like that.'

However, outside the building, the faint magenta orb floated nearby before flying away into the distance.

(A few months later)

It was a strange life that Marinette has been living through as of late, no not because she never stopped being Ladybug or saved Paris. It was….something more off putting.

Ever since the defeat of Cat Blanc, things have become a little more weird for her, for one, her friends have been becoming...clingy.

Such as the time she, Alya, Alix, Juleka, Rose, and Mylene went to the pool for swimming, but for some reason all of them were quick to either want her near them, or real close, and it seemed to stir them the wrong way when Ondine showed up and quickly got her away from them for some personal swim lessons, while not caring at all that her chest was rubbing against Marinette's back the whole time.

For another strange reason, her enemies have started to act funny, like when Chloe and Lila tried to outdo each other giving Marinette gifts, which soon led to Sabrina and Aurore to move them, which soon escalated to the latter girls actually trying to pay for Chloe and Lila's 'foolishness'.

And then there were the neutral based friends and enemies she had, such as Vivica and Nathalie, who seemed to be acting slightly out of character by either making songs about her or giving her lesions in the fashion world, the latter being a little...more than a simple hands on approach, like she was being groomed to BECOME Nathalie, but that was just the nerves talking.

Heck, she recently ran into Penny again, who offered to take her out for some coffee, being real friendly, but the odd part came when she started asking Marinette about her love life, if she was seeing anyone, which just made her shy to tell it all, but she did let it slip a little about Adrien, which Penny seemed annoyed by.

And for the final nail in the coffin for the weirdest life, it came in the form of her mom and Miss Bustier's interaction while the former was taking her to an ice cream shop, which lead to small chatter until the teacher commented on how adorable Marinette looked in her clothes which...lead to not only a brawl but for all three to be banned for life from the shop.

Needless to say, something was up and Marinette was really confused about the entire debacle.

At the moment she was trying to work out her next big idea for a dress, but was having a hard time with her tapping her pen on her table.

"Marinette? Are you ok?"

She grumbled while not looking up. "I'm fine, just trying to find the right color for the dress. Red or pink, maybe green? It's really driving me mad."

"Hmmm, well some green for the sides would look pretty."

"Really?"

"Yeah, maybe put some yellows on the collar."

"Yeah yeah! That's great!" Marinette said while still not looking up. "Thank you! I owe you one! I mean it!"

The person smiled while revealing themselves as Lila, who seemed to actually be genuine in appearance and personality, for some reason.

"Really? Mmm, maybe becoming your friend, that might work for me."

Marinette looked confused before turning, and jumped to her feet in surprise. "L-L-Lila?! What are you doing in my room?"

"I let myself in." she said while pointing to the window. "Anyway, since you owe me for the design, being my friend wouldn't hurt. Plus I might actually like being your friend." 'Maybe even more.'

She looked at her in shock while trying to recompose herself, and failed miserably. "Why did you come in through there?" 'Probably hoping to dig up dirt while I was out, or maybe hurt herself and blame me with my own parents!'

"Because the door was locked and because I wanted to see you." she shrugged. "Look, we might have been enemies and I might be a liar, but I am telling you the truth, I want to be your friend."

"Yeah right."

"I'm being serious here Marinette."

"You mean as serious as you are about making sure I end up alone with no friends?"

"No no, I don't want that, I want to be friends with you."

"Prove it."

She blinked before getting an idea. "Alright, I'll prove it by taking you out on a fancy dinner date, as friends."

"..."

"Or is that too bland? Because I can take you out to someplace more exquisit, something that Chloe would never do in her entire life."

"..." 'Is SHE serious!?' thought Marinette with suspicion. 'She couldn't be serious unless she had something to gain.'

"So what do you say?"

"Are you trying to get something out of me?"

"No." she said flatly and with a sincere sounding tone. "I want nothing else from this date, just your happiness."

"...alright, I'll take you up on your offer, but if you try anything, I'm leaving." she said before getting hugged tightly by the girl. "GAH!"

"You won't regret this! I promise to make this date the most memorable in your entire life!" she smiled while Marinette felt the air getting squeezed out of her lungs.

"A...i...r...ai...r…" she gasped out in pain.

Lila let go, letting Marinette gasp for air before she moved to the window.

"I will see you tomorrow after school." Lila smiled. "Or do you want to go out now?"

"In my pajamas!?"

"..." she looked her over before shaking her head. "Tomorrow it is, see you."

Marinette blinked before seeing Lila blow her an air kiss and jumped off the window.

CRASH!

And landed in a dumpster in the process.

"I'm ok!"

"Marinette, something's not right." spoke Tikki floating over.

"I know, Lila is NEVER friendly."

"True, but I mean something is not right, with all the girls in Paris."

"...yeah, can you explain better? That is kinda a big stretch in a city full of weird magical supervillains and superpower giving butterflies." she said while not getting the hint.

"I mean your classmates, teacher, and girls you don't normally hang out with. All of them aren't acting like they usually do."

"Oh." she nodded innocently. "I mean they are kinda weird, but I wouldn't say it's a bad thing."

"This includes your mom." Tikki deadpanned. "She's kinda getting creepy lately, along with everyone else that's been around you. Have you SEEN Alix after you told her you liked Adrien? She had a face like an angry wolf!"

"Well she is a kid."

"Age has nothing to do with it Marinette! Something is off with them and if we don't find out why you MIGHT get hurt or worse!" she exclaimed while looking away. "I just hope it's not because…"

"Because? Tikki, what do you mean by that?"

"..."

"Tikki?"

"It….well it might be the work of a kwami."

"But aren't the kwamis with Master Wu?"

"Not the normal ones, or the ones in Hawk Moth's possession….it's something….different." she said with a shiver.

"Tikki, please, you can tell me."

"...Marinette. There are many Kawmis in the universe, many either settling on different planets or somewhere on earth before we gained the miraculous. And well...this one was different, she was made just after the original twelve but was more powerful than us in certain aspects." Tikki sighed. "Her name was Deloola, the kwami of obsession and calamities."

"Wait, love?"

"No, not love. Obsession, the most deadly emotion in the universe, one that can turn civilizations into dust or raise them up into utopians. And Deloola...she was obsessed with one thing, making others happy. Now it wasn't that bad at first, but every time she added more power to the affected person or peoples, the more destruction they made until they destroyed themselves in the most insane ways possible. From breaking a dam to actually starting wars, Deloola's powers destroyed everything around her and made her own owners fear being turned into her targets, me and the others stopped her and sealed her away in a box inside Hopp's pocket dimension."

"That's horrible!"

"I know, but she means well, unfortunately she was also a sucker for romance and kinda caused entire empires to fall into debauchery." Tikki sighed. "But she might be back and will cause trouble once more. Did you by chance find a box while traveling through Hopp's dimension?"

"No."

"Did you find a ruby ring by chance? The miraculous."

"No, if I did I would have told you." she said while looking confused.

"...this isn't good. Marinette, if you see anything magenta in the city, one that looks like an orb, tell me at once."

"Ok, but...what do we do then? Will we have to fight her?"

"NO! She is way too powerful for that!" Tikki cried out. "We need to trap her and seal her away again, this time in a much more obscure place. Maybe inside Plagg's stomach or something."

"...eh?" she said while Tikki floated away.

"Don't wait up! I have to warn the others before the city burns to the ground or something!"

"...this went from bad to worse." she groaned to herself. 'Ok Marinette, stay calm, no need to panic.'

As this occurred, she didn't notice the magenta orb floating behind her, seemingly staring at her with amusement.

'This kwami is dangerous, but nothing I can't handle. I mean I'm Ladybug and this Deloola….is a being that can make earthquakes happen….no need to panic!' she thought with a gulp.

"Marinette! Breakfast!"

"Coming!" she called out before walking out the room, not seeing the orb tailing her. When she came down to the kitchen, she saw a big spread already waiting for her.

Said spread was full of eggs, bacon, toast, french toast, omelettes, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, and tarts, which were all fattening and seemingly took hours to make as only Sabine was in the kitchen.

"I hope you enjoy." she smiled happily.

"Wow mom, this is….a lot." she replied in surprise.

"I know, but you look a little skinny lately." she admitted as Marinette blinked. "I worry that you haven't been eating right, but starting today I'm going to give you meals fit for an empress so that you can grow big and strong, and maybe help your chances in getting a boyfriend with some curves."

"I-I'm not that skinny!...am I?"

"Unfortunately."

Marinette blinked as she did recall that due to her activities as Ladybug she had been neglecting a lot of meal times, and that might be affecting her own growth, after all she was still a growing teenager.

"Now come on, don't let it get too cold."

"Oh right." she said before sitting down and began to eat the meal.

(Later)

Marinette groaned while feeling sick to her stomach, her friend Alya taking notice of her friend's plight.

"Are you ok?"

"No...ate….way too much…."

"Big breakfast?"

"More like a giant…" she groaned while holding in a burp. "Ugh….so...sluggish…"

Alya got a glint in her eyes and moved closer, before propping her arm around Marinette's shoulder. "You can lean on me, I'll get us there no problem."

"Oh...thanks." She said while leaning on her friend's chest, a little out of it due to her stomach issues.

'SCORE!' Thought Alya with a grin, but as they rounded a corner she spotted Kagami.

Kagami frowned, seeing Marinette on Alya's chest, and her hand twitched a little as she pulled Marinette into her chest. "Are you ok Marinette?"

"Stomach...ugh."

"I see, my mother knows some remedies for such things. I shall bring you to her."

"Uh, we have school to get to." frowned Alya.

"Medicine trump's school." She said coldly as the two girls glared at the other. "Now, I shall take her to get healed, away from you."

"You want to go? Then come at me!"

Both girls growled while not seeing Rose walking by them until she saw Marinette's body stick between the two girls' chests.

'Hey! What are they doing to Marinette?' She thought in confusion while her mind started to think really nasty thoughts, really nasty.

'Stomach hurts and now I'm stuck between two friends...not what I needed today.' She groaned before being pulled away by Chloe of all people.

"Hey, get off of her, she's suffocating to death!" she huffed as Alya and Kagami turned to glare at the blond. "You two wanna get in each other's business? Go ahead, but leave Marinette out of it."

"Like you care." Alya frowned.

"Well I care for her wellbeing, unlike you two." She glared as Kagami seemed to twitch a little in anger. "Now if you excuse me, I'm getting her to a real hospital, not one of your shotty medical care."

Marinette gulped while not seeing Nathalie picking her up and dragging her away.

"I told your teacher about you missing class today for some tutoring." She said calmly. "It will be for your own good, your talent is needed in my line of work and one day yours."

"Miss Nathalie?"

"Call me Nathalie." She said calmly. "After all I am your teacher and you're my apprentice. Now come, my office awaits you."

She shivered in fear hearing that. 'That doesn't sound right!'

"Hey!" Chloe yelled out while pointing at the woman in anger. "Come back here with Marinette!"

"I'll save you, Marinette!" cried Rose, running and jumping on Nathalie's back, making her leg fall as the girl hit the woman on the back of the head. "You leave my friend alone!"

"Ah! Get off me!"

Both girls attacked each other while Marinette was currently being dragged away by Alya by one leg and Kagami by the other.

"You're coming with me!"

"No, she's coming with me!"

"She needs to get to school!"

"She needs medicine!"

Marinette cried out in pain while feeling way too sluggish from the meal to even think, or even turn into Ladybug if she got out as her body felt like lead right now. "AH!"

But as that happened, Nora, driving an orange motorcycle, drove up and took off her helmet to see the chaos.

"What the…" she muttered before seeing Marinette and quickly ran to her, picked her up and ran to her bike. "Hold on!"

VOOOM VOOOOOOM!

"NORA!" Alya yelled as the motorcycle drove away. "GIVE BACK MARINETTE!"

"Give her back!" yelled Kagami before she took off running after her.

"Give back my apprentice!"

"Damn it!" Chloe yelled while also running off, Nathalie following the blonde at the same speed.

"Hey!" Rose yelled while Nora kept on driving, Marinette feeling a little safer right now.

"Oh thank god! Thanks Nora!"

"Anytime." She smirked. "But what happened out there?"

"They just went crazy...all because I had a stomach pain."

"Eat too much?"

"My mom made a huge breakfast."

"Ah." she nodded. "Want me to get you to a doctor?"

"No no, I'll be ok, but could you drop me off at my school?"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Ok, but you owe me one." she said with a smirk.

"Deal." she said while not seeing Vivica seeing her from a corner.

"Eh?" 'Was that Marinette...with another woman! Nooo! Not my love songs!'

(Later that day)

Marinette sighed as she was finally at school, a little calmer than normal, as she made it into the hallway, only to notice that Miss Bustier was the only one in the classroom, grading what looked like her last test.

"Good morning." she said calmly. "You came just in time for a special class."

"...special?" she asked while looking very confused as she noticed the room was dim, there were candles on the table, and well, the teacher was wearing a black dress that revealed her fishnet stockings, something NO teacher should be wearing before class.

"Yes, I noticed that you have a hard time socializing with others so I decided to tutor you on proper socializing, and today's lesson." she smirked. "Will be on how to talk to your date."

Marinette paled while feeling like something was escalating too much, like she just missed a few steps in some sort of relationship. "B-B-B-But isn't that...sudden?"

"Perhaps, but in your case it's necessary." she said while gesturing to her with her left index finger. "But come, we have much to discuss."

"I…"

"Hey!" yelled Aurore while appearing next to Marinette and pulled her away. "Let's get going, I have some gifts to give you and I don't want to do it with Miss 'I want to get fired' there." 'MINE!'

"Aurore, you're interrupting Marinette's lesson." frowned Miss Bustier standing up. "Now I'm going to have to ask you to leave, now."

"Ok." she said while dragging Marinette away. "I will leave with MY Marinette."

'My?!' Marinette thought in confusion before getting grabbed by Mylene and placed on her shoulder as the girl ran for it.

"Hey Marinette! Let's have a nice LONG chat somewhere private!"

"Wait Mylene! Slow down!"

"Why? We're being chased!" she yelled before Marinette was grabbed by Mireille and dragged away like a rope of sausage.

"Sorry, but I have to see you once today, so NO more girls! Got it?"

"Wait! What's going on!?"

"I'm here to save you!" yelled Juleka while jumping kicking Mireille in the face and grabbed Marinette, princess style. "Hey, drop by much?"

"OW!"

"J-Juleka!? Why are you trying to hurt people!"

"Because you're MY friend! Duh!" she grinned before Alix tackled her, making Marinette drop to the floor. "GAH!"

"SHE'S MINE!"

"No, she's mine!"

"Mine!"

Marinette paled while getting up, running from the insanity before feeling Lila right near the exit.

"Hey, ready for our date?" she asked before seeing Marinette run past her. "Wait hey! What about the date!?"

"Reschedule!"

"No! I won't do that!" she yelled while running after her. "I will not let that happen! YOU'RE MY DATE!"

'OH NO!' she thought in panic as she ran out of the building and tried to hide, knowing that someone's going to find and try to steal her away for some 'crazy' reason.

"Hey." Ondine smiled while right in front of her, apparently waiting for her in a brown trench coat and nothing else. "Want to go swimming? Privately?"

"Wait no!" she yelled while running past her, causing the girl to spin and her trench coat to go flying, revealing she wasn't wearing anything.

"WOAH! Hey! Come back here!" 'No! I want to go skinny dipping!'

Marinette's face turned red for a second before shaking her head, trying to focus on the fact she was in danger, from obsessive girls no less. 'Focus! I just need to hide, yeah! Just hide and then become Ladybug to better combat any of the girls that...well, get affected by akuma if Hawk Moth's behind this. Or...was it the new kwami? Oh god, just what's really going on!?'

As she ran for her life, she didn't see Penny walking towards her, seemingly wanting to give her a hug due to her extended arms.

'Come to me Marinette.' Penny thought with a smirk. 'Come into my arms!'

But due to her running, she failed to notice, leading to her crashing into the woman, both of them falling on the ground.

"OW!"

"I'm sorry….Penny?' Marinette said while noticing that the woman was under her, making her blush at the implication and ran off. "Sorry!"

(A little later)

Marinette panted while hiding behind a corner, failing to notice that Nadja was right behind her due to Marinette being right near her apartment. "I...lost...them…"

"Lost who?"

"AH! Oh Nadja, I-I-I didn't see you." she panted while the woman shook her head.

"It's fine, but if you want to truly apologize, maybe we could schedule a time for your babysitting? Maybe tonight?" she asked while licking her lips a little.

"Uh, that sounds nice, but...I have a huge school project that I really gotta get cracking on."

"I see, maybe tomorrow then?"

"Yeah." Marinette nodded while not seeing a limo driving towards her, the back door open as a hand grabbed her and yanked her inside, the door closing in the process. "AH!"

"Hello." said Audrey with a smirk. "Good thing I caught up with you, I was in need of a lunch date and lookie here, you came."

'Oh no, not her too!' she thought while another limo drove next to them, the back window moving downwards to reveal a very annoyed Tomoe.

"Is she in there?!" she yelled to her driver.

"Yes ma'am."

"Good, now ram them to the curve! Don't let the girl get hurt!"

VOOOOOSH!

BASH!

"Ah! Damn crazy bitch!" yelled Audrey in anger, her eyes turning magenta for a second. "Get her off the road! NOW!"

"Yes ma'am." nodded Jean before swerving the limo, crashing it against the other.

BASH!

BASH!

And just like that, the two limos ran into each other, causing significant damages to both the cars and the surrounding streets, lamp posts, mailboxes, cafes and other major landmarks, making Marinette slowly panic as she recalled what Tikki said about the kwami Deloola.

That everything will act normal and then, with the power of obsession, chaos will erupt and cause massive civilization ending disasters.

And she was RIGHT in the middle of it!

'AHHHHHHHHHHH!' Marinette screamed in her head while gripping the seat like a lifeline. "You have to stop!"

"Not until that blind bitch is out of the way!" the blonde yelled in anger. "She's not getting MY lunch date!"

The girl panicked while looking for a way to escape, only to notice the only way out was the top of the limo, where she could turn into Ladybug and flee, but it wouldn't work due to the clear vantage point for the entire city to see said transformation.

But desperate times called for desperate measures as the two limos started to drive towards a hill and were VERY close to actually colliding with a police building.

'Screw it! I need to get out and save them before they get hurt!' she thought before climbing up through the window.

As she did so, she touched her earrings and frowned.

"Tikki!" she yelled while said kwami appeared and paled seeing that was going on.

"What's going on?!"

"No time! Tikki, Spots On!" she yelled while turning into Ladybug, although her spots were now magenta for some reason, and jumped in front of the speeding limos and pulled out her yo-yo.

WOOSH!

And used it as a makeshift rope that hooked to two adjacent poles and pulled on the tires, making it stall in the process as she tried to hold them down with all her might.

"UGH!" she groaned while holding the string tightly, the limos still trying to accelerate yet couldn't move at all given the string. "Damn it!"

However as the limos were about to get loose.

TWANG!

BOOM!

A pink arrow appeared and fixed the string to the concrete, stopping the cars in the process as a magenta orb floated near the heroine.

"Woah! That was close!" the orb sighed while revealing her true form to Ladybug. "Are you ok?"

"Wait, who...wait. Are you Deloola!? The new kwami!?"

She smirked. "Yep, and I'm happy you were alright."

Ladybug felt a cold chill while Deloola herself seemed harmless.

"So, how was the gift? Did you gain happiness from it?" she asked while a bit airheaded, due to the fact she just ignored the destruction around her for a simple...gift apparently.

"Gift? What are you even talking about?"

"You know, the one I gave you for freeing me many months ago. You saved me from that box after all and I always repay my debts in full."

"..." she blinked while slowly letting the gears in her head turn, only to recall how her lift was normal before stopping Cat Blanc and how all the girls around her became obsessed...obsessed. "YOU!"

"Yes, I'm me." she smiled while not seeing Ladybug's very pissed off expression. "And you're you, who really loves being a hero right? I saw you as Ladybug and wow, you were cute."

"That's not the point!" Ladybug snapped while pointing to the kwami. "You ruined my life!"

"Eh?"

"You've been making girls and women around me act bonkers!"

"Oh, but they are in love with you right? I mean you did want love from someone."

"Yes, but not obsessed girls!"

"...so you wanted men that loved you instead? I can change it if you want." she said like it was a normal bit of conversation.

"What? No! I mean I didn't ask you to go and do this!"

"True, but you were asleep and I can sense your kindness." she said before shrugging. "Still don't get the problem here, you have girls loving you, they love you, everyone's happy."

"Until they try to kill me and destroy Paris!"

"...your point?" she asked in a confused tone.

"You cause chaos!"

"...again, your point?" Deloola asked while Ladybug screamed in frustration.

"Gaaaah! That's a bad thing! You have to change them back!"

"Oh. No." she said flatly. "Once I do a spell, it can't be removed, only altered. And I don't feel like it, besides, you look so happy with a harem of girls."

"Not when one of them might be my mom!"

"...wait one of them was your mother? Huh, kinda cute, I support it." she smiled while Ladybug screamed in anger. "What? It's fine in a biological sense, why are you so against the idea?"

"Because it's gross!"

"To you and humans, yes, but not to kwamis." she said in an airheaded tone that seemed to be laced with utter annoyance. "But since you seemed to not like my gift, maybe I should...oh! Make it last longer! The spell was supposed to last a few years but since you don't like the results I'll just make it permanent. Isn't that fun~?"

"WHAT?! No way! Nuh uh! Out of the question! Just put it all back to normal right now!"

"Sorry, but you don't have an option now~" she smiled falsely while her head twitched a little. "You will enjoy this and that's final~"

Ladybug was about to say something else when she felt the kwami's body expelling a very dark aura that made her throat close and her mind sceam in primordial terror.

"And soon you and your harem will be screaming for days on end in sheer ecstacy~!" she smiled before flying away. "I will check up on you in a week, have fun~"

"No, get back here!" she yelled out before taking after the kwami across the rooftops. "You undo this all or else!"

"Or else," she said before her face shifted from a bird's face to a more demonic crocodile-like face and spun around. "WHAT!?"

Ladybug screamed while falling off a roof top and landed on the ground, hard, as the kwami's face changed back to normal and flew off.

"Bye~"

"Ow! My back!" she groaned in pain while the transformation undid itself upon contact with the ground. "Ow, damn it!"

"I told you Deloola was dangerous." Tikki said with a gulp as she flew out of the earrings.

"This is bad, horrible, insane." Marinette got out while trying to sit up with a wince. "How am I gonna stop her?"

"No idea, but I think we need to drag you to a hospital."

"I...ow…" she groaned while not seeing Lila right behind her, looking sweaty and covered in bruises, as she gasped in shock.

"Marinette! What happened to you!?" 'Damn it! She got hurt because of those bitches! I need to take care of her, NOW!'

'Shit.' Marinette thought in terror as she now knew WHY Lila was acting nice to her, and she's not happy that this girl might become insane like the kwami.

"Don't worry Marinette, I'll help!" Lila moved over and helped Marinette to her feet, not seeing Tikki who slipped into the bag in time. "We can stop by my house and get you some ice."

"No no, I'm-"

"You're not fine." Lila frowned. "You are in pain and you will be tended to at my house." 'For a long LONG time~'

Marinette shivered for some reason as she tried to move away from the girl, and failed as Lila held her tightly by the wrists.

"Now come along, my house is a few blocks away." she smiled and started leading the girl.

"Really, I'm ok. Nothing a quick jog can't fix!" Marinette said before seeing Lila's now magenta eyes.

"No excuses, you will come to my house now. You are MY patient and guest, I insist." she said with a very loving tone laced with negative emotions that made Marinette's spine shiver.

'She won't listen no matter what I say!' she thought before Lila was cut off by Alya who did not look happy.

"Where do you think YOU are going, Rossi?"

"I'm taking Marinette to my house, her back is injured and as her friend, I have to take care of her. What are YOU doing here?"

"About to take her to MY house since I'M her closest best friend."

"Then why didn't you help her? Huh? Why?"

"Because my older sister went bonkers on me!" she frowned before getting very close to Lila's face, causing Marinette to get pinned to their chests, again.

'No! No no no no no! Not this again!'

"Sounds like letting Marinette go to your house is asking for trouble if your sister is just gonna make things worse."

"Same with you! I mean look at you, you're a vixen!"

"Same with you, bitch." Lila frowned while glaring at the girl, a low growl emanating from her throat like a savage animal. "Now leave!"

"Never!"

"Girls please, there's no need to fight." Marinette tried to say before getting pressed against the breasts, just as Nathalie walked towards them with a black eye and grabbed Marinette by the back of her shirt, dragging her away in the process.

"I will bring you to the best hospital in Paris, no lowlifes' house full of insects and mold. My apprentice needs only the best." she said with a low growl.

'Oh why me! WHY!? WHY DO I HAVE TO HAVE THE CRAZIES!?' Marinette thought while crying a little. 'WHY!?'

(A while later)

Marinette grumbled as she was in a hospital bed, apparently due to her spine being cracked, and was annoyed that she was stuck here for the next six months.

But the worst thing was….the harem of insane girls showering her with gifts and affection, which wasn't too bad but...it was the constant fighting that was the issue. She lost count of how many times they had to leave when trying to fight over who would stand beside her bed.

However, at this moment, she was being visited by her mother, who seemed to be dreadfully worried about her. But due to Deloola's magic, this was magnified to very creepy levels, such as her wanting to change her clothes for her or give her a sponge bath every second. Needless to say, Marinette was hoping for someone SANE right now.

Which surprisingly came in the form of Adrien, who was holding a vase of white flowers in his hands.

"Hey Marinette." he greeted with a smile, the girl feeling her face turn red.

"A-A-A-Adrien!"

"That's me." He smiled. "I heard that you were in the hospital so I came to check up on you."

She blushed while her mother frowned at him.

"I will be getting my daughter some water, don't try anything." She said before walking out of the room.

"How are you holding up?"

"F-Fine." she said while trying to hold a straight face, and failing.

"Good, because I was worried you couldn't walk again or something." he said while Marinette was so flustered about his arrival. "So...want to chat or something?"

'I can't believe he's here!' she thought, unaware of Juleka and Rose making their way down the hall with their own flowers.

"I hope Marinette loves these roses."

"No, I hope she loves sunflowers." Juleka smirked. "Roses were so last year."

"No they weren't."

"Well they are now, Rose." she retorted with a smirk before seeing Adrien and froze. "..."

"O...M...G!" gasped Rose before clenching her hand. "What's Adrien doing here?"

"I have no idea, but I feel like kicking his ass." She growled while clenching her hands tightly against the vase. "Want to help?"

"Ordinarily I'd say no, but for this occasion? Count me in!"

And just like that, they stomped into the room, slammed the vases on Adrien's head and started to beat him up like he was a rag doll.

POW!

KICK!

SLAM!

"AHHHH!"

"MARINETTE IS MINE!" Both yelled at once as Marinette went wide eyed in terror.

"Girls! Stop that right now!"

"MY SPLEEN!" Adrien cried out while covered in blood and black eyes. "WHY?!"

"Because Marinette is mine!" Rose snapped. "She is mine!"

"Yeah! She's mine!" Juleka yelled while kicking the blonde in the family jewels.

"AYIIIII!"

"ROSE! JULEKA! STOP THAT NOW!" ordered Marinette with a firm tone.

Both flitched while seemingly confused and aroused at the same time.

"Ow….my balls…."

"Get out, NOW!"

Both looked at her, nodded and walked away, a little flustered as their pants were a little drenched for some reason. 'Hot.'

Marinette sighed and looked at Adrien with worry as he got back on his feet. "Are you alright?"

"Just...in pain." He said before fainting onto the ground.

"DOCTOR!"

(Later)

Adrien groaned as he was now in a full body cast and in a hospital bed right next to Marinette, wondering why this happened to him.

'I feel so bad he got hurt because of me.' Marinette thought while not knowing the ring was healing him a little. 'Damn that kwami! She has gone TOO far this time!'

"You have a visitor." a nurse said to Marinette.

"Who?"

"A Chloe Bourgeois. She wants to see you." she said while Marinette groaned.

'Not another obsessed victim.'

The nurse left them right as Chloe walked in with a smile.

"Hi." she said while not acknowledging her former crush in the body cast. "Are you in need of anything Marinette? Food, clothes, company?"

"No Chloe, I'm just fine." sighed Marinette.

"Are you sure? Not even a nice calm hug?"

"...just a hug? Nothing else?"

"If you're being a gutter monkey then I'm insulted, I'm not going to strip naked in front of you! That's rude!" 'And hot. I'll do that when she visits my house.'

"I didn't want you to strip!"

"Oh? So you weren't being horny? Huh, very chastie of you." Chloe smiled before moving towards the girl and started to hug her. "And just like my future wife~"

Marinette's eyes widened with Adrien clearing his throat.

"Hey Chloe, how's everything at school?"

"Fine." she said with no emotion. "But can you buzz off, I'm trying to talk with my future wife here."

"Not my wife! Not my wife." Marinette spoke up quickly with Adrien caught off guard.

"Really?"

"Yeah! She's not my wife!"Marinette blushed while Alix stormed in and grinned.

"Because she's MY wife!"

"What?!"

Alix smirked while walking to Marinette and bumped Chloe back with her ass. "Yep, we're going to get married soon! Maybe when she's fully healed."

"No! Marinette's my wife!" Chloe growled in anger. "It's so totally obvious I'd make a better wife than YOU."

"How?"

"Because she likes me more!"

"No, she loves ME more!"

Both glared while Aurore walked in and kissed Marinette on the lips.

"We are wife and wife! Sorry Chloe but I call dibs!"

"The hell you do!"

Marinette blushed red while Kagami walked in and bowed to Adrien.

"Adrien, I had feelings for you but...I want you as my best man for my wedding with Marinette. I hope you forgive me for not telling you beforehand." she said in a calm tone that made the model blush in shock.

"Uh...well…."

Kagami rose up before pushing the other girls away. "Back off, Marinette is going to be my wife. If you want to fight for her, then come at me!"

"It's on!"

"I will have my wife!"

"Chloe will not have her!"

And just like that, a brawl occurred as Marinette groaned, not knowing that Alya, Juleka, Rose, Ms. Bustier, Tomoe, Nathalie, Sabrina, Lilia, Nadja, Mireille, Mylène, Audrey, Ondine, Penny, Vivica, Nora, and her mother Sabine, had just walked back in and well...saw them fighting for Marinette's hand in marriage, getting a LOT of responses of protest and anger from them.

"SHE'S MINE!"

"MY DAUGHTER WILL NOT MARRY ANY OF YOU!"

And again, just like that, a blood bath occurred as an akuma floated into the room and showed Hawk Moth the insanity and craziness that was Marinette's life.

(With Hawk Moth)

"..."

"Master?"

"I think I will not akumatize anyone today, especially those ladies."

"Really?"

"I know it's out of character, but look at them, if I akumatized them then I won't be able to control them for long. They are like hungry beasts." he said pointing to the scene as the kwami nodded.

"True...although I know why they are acting that way."

"Why?"

"Deloola, the kwami of obsession and cataclysms is freed and….she's going to destroy the world one day, starting with these girls."

"...you can't be serious." He said before seeing his 'partner' stare at him with a serious expression.

"Believe me, this is the start of the end. And it will NOT be pretty."

"Then perhaps I better do something, and find this Deloola."

"And then what?" the kwami said. "Because it took all of us to seal her in a box, and I don't think my powers will be enough to hold her for a fraction of a second."

"We find her and see what this kwami thinks about a partnership." grinned the villain.

"...it won't work, she's insane. She will never help you at all, she might make you obsessed with something and then let it kill you before THAT happens." warned Nooroo with a shiver. "Like the time she tried to get all us kwamis obsessed with each other."

"She did what?"

"Yeah, it nearly destroyed the universe, twice." Nooroo gulped. "So why would any of your ideas actually bring her to YOUR side?"

Hawk Moth smirked. "Simple, I can offer her something she might like."

"What?"

He pointed to the scene, where Marinette was trying to cover her face with her hands. "A romantic conflict. Provided by me, and my new partner."

"..." 'Oh no.' thought Nooroo with a cold shiver and dreadful feeling.'That might do it! She loves conflict and romance!'

Hawk Moth smirked before summoning an akuma. "Find this Deloola and bring her to me, unharmed. If she resists, akumatize anyone and everything until you catch her. Now go!"

The akuma flew it's way through the window and out to the city.

(With Deloola)

The kwami sighed while resting on a bench, her miraculous under her legs, as she felt the 'love' the holder of Tikki's miraculous was feeling. "Ah...sunlight and love. What else can make this day better? Mmmm...maybe some snowfall! Yeah, make it a winter wonderland of love~!"

As she planned her next 'wish', the akuma appeared behind her and rested on her head.

"Oh, Nooroo's pets? Huh, looks kinda sickly...oh well." she shrugged while smiling to herself. "They are kinda silly anyway."

'Deloola.' said an unfamiliar voice. 'I have a proposal for you, one involving the girl Marinette and romantic conflict.'

"...you got my attention." she said in a serious voice. "Go on."

'If you want more information, follow the akuma. We will discuss further when you arrive.'

"How do I know this isn't a trap?"

"If it was a trap, then I wouldn't have come to talk with the most powerful kwami in the universe.'

"...flattery works for so long you know."

"I know something we can both benefit from, but you'll only know if you follow my akuma."

"...very well, I shall come~" she said in a sing-song voice. "But do bring some candy, preferably heart shaped~"

'Excellent.' Hawk Moth thought with a smirk as the screen went black. 'Soon, this city shall be mine, and so will the miraculous.'

End of Part One.
