MC-Labs Presents:
"Broken Plates and a Broken Heart!"
(I do not own Miraculous)

WARNING!: Major character bashing, if you don't like it, don't read!

As you already know, Lila turned Marinette's friends against her and almost ruined her life, from getting her expelled to almost getting her akumatized, after Lila was exposed and Marinette's name was cleareed, she decided to switch to Kagami's school.

As to why, no one knew, but Alya and the others were going to find out!

Alya, Adrien, Nino, Alix, Kim and the rest made their way to the bakery, Sabine was waiting for them.

"She's up on the roof, you know you all really hurt her, after Lila got expelled, she went into a funk that lasted for a month, she didn't speak or eat or even play video games, we were afriad she might...well she's up on the roof." explained Sabine.

The groud was up upon the roof, where Marinette was with Kagami, Sabrina and Chloe, trying out her new uniform, Marinette was smiling, she was happy, happiest she's ever been!

Marinette turned to everyone, although she was smiling, her blue eyes had lost some of it's shine.

"Good, you're all here, i know many of you are here to basicly say you're sorry, and to beg me not to leave, am i right?" she asked.

The others nodded...

"However, i don't think i can forgive you, or trust you, you guys broke my heart, and it took several weeks to heal." Marinette explained, "But i know you guys woun't give up so, i have a proposal."

She takes out a single pink ceramic plate and then shows it to them.

"Take a good look at this plate, this reprersents me, i've had Chloe, Sabrina and Kagami break a similar pink plate into 5 pieces and scatter them all across Paris, i already uploaded their locations to your phones, you have until sundown to locate at least 4 of the 5 pieces, if you are able to, i will forgive all of you, especially you Adrien, you knew that Lila was bullying me and yet you insisted on taking the high road, that her lies weren't hurting anyone."

Adrien nodded, she was right, he had been an awful friend, but now he was hellbent on setting things right.

And so the group split up to find the 5 pieces.

(Adrien and Nino)

Adrien and Nino found the first piece really easily, it was getting the piece that was the challenge.

The piece was on a tree, nestled right next to a live hornet's nest!

Adrien and Nino looked at one another...

"don't look at me dude, i'm alergic!" Nino panicked.

Adrien shrugged his shoulders and climbed the tree and gently stretched his hand to reach for the piece, with a little finese, he was able to retrive the piece.

"Cake..." smiled Adrien.

But his victory was short lived when a stray acorn fell and hit the hornet's nest, alerting the stinging creatures to Adrien's presence!

"Crap..."

The next 20 minutes were filled with screaming.

(Alya and Alix)

"Hey ladies!" yelled Jagged Stone, it's seems that Marinette had let him in on her little game, the rock star gave the girls a note:

"I have given one of the pieces to Jagged, but it seems Fang, his crocodile has eaten it, no worries, he didn't swallow it, you just need to reach into his mouth and get it, but be carefull, Fang is asleep, and does not like to be woken up!"

The two girls played RPS to decide who gets it.
(AN: RPS= Rock, Paper, Scissors)

Alya lost, so she approached Fang, and slightly opened his jaw, and lo and behold, the seccond piece, right on his tounge!

Alya slinked her arm into the lizzard's mouth, and gripped the piece with all her might, victory was hers, until...

BRRRRIIIINNNNNGGGG!

Fang's alarm clock sounded waking the beast up. it opened it eyes and growled at Alya!

CHOMP!

GAHHHHHHH!

"Fang! No! Bad Boy! we don't eat people!" Jagged scolded.

(Kim)

The tall Jock had located the 3rd piece, it was atop a pole conected to power lines, one wrong move and he'd be fried to a crisp, but Kim being the athletic guy that he is, climbed the pole and saw the piece until a pidgeon grebbed it and perched atop one of the power lines.

"Nice try bird, but you have no idea what i'd do for my friends!" Kim said as he grabbed the bird by the neck, with the third piece in tow, Kim pumped his fist in victory, but by doing so, his other arm lost it's grip on the pole, he grabbed one of the power lines on instinct...which was a mistake.

BUZZZZZZZAAAAAAPPPPP!

(Ivan and Mylene)

The Forth piece led Ivan and Mylene to the Zoo, acording to Marinette, the forth piece was inside the pouch of Frankie the Kangaroo, the meanest Kangaroo in the Marsupial exibit, so mean in fact, she had to be put in a seperate area.

"Of all of the kangaroos in the zoo, she had to leave it with Frankie!" squeaked Mylene.

Frankie was tending to her joey, Missy, who was holding the forth piece, Mylene went to keep Frankie busy while Ivan climbed down to get the piece, Missy, who was always curious about humans crept to Ivan.

"Rawl? (Papa?)" she said.

"Hey Missy, do you think you can give me that piece, it's kinda important." he asked.

Missy nodded and handed the piece to Ivan.

The large but loveable Ivan pattet Missy's head, unfortunetly, Frankie saw Ivan with her child and growled.

"Grawl! (Get away from my child, pervert!)" Frankie lunged at Ivan and kicked him, sending him flying into the "Wild World of Cacti" Exibit, containing over 30 species of Cactus!

YEOWWWWWW!

(1 hour until sunset)

the gang searched all over Paris for the fifth peice, but with no luck.

Adrien was covered head to toe with hornet stings, Alya was missing her left arm, Kim was singed from being electricuted and was still smoking, and Ivan still had some cactus thorns all over him.

Tired and in agonizing pain, the group decided to return to Marinette with the four pieces the managed to get.

Marinette was waiting with a smile on her face as she saw how much pain they were in.

"Let me guess, you couldn't find the 5th piece?" she asked.

The others nodded...

Marinette reached into her pocket and recealed the SHE had the final piece all along!

Everyone's jaw dropped!

"Now you all understand the pain i went through." Marinette explained, " Adrien, when i told you about Lila's lies, you didn't even try to back me up, that stung, just like those hornets did, Alya, you were my best friend and when you took Lila side over mine, i lost a piece of myself, just like how you lost your arm to Fang, Kim, Ivan, you destroyed my sketchbook and all my work just to burn me, like how Kim got electricuted or when Frankie attacked Ivan."

Marinette asked for the four remaining pieces, the others gave it to her.

"You all hurt me, badly, you broke my heart into pieces, just like this plate, and will take time until it can be put back together, i will leave for my new boarding school tomorrow, and i will take the broken plates pieces with me, if i decide to forgive you, i will bring back the plate, fully repaired, if not, i will mail you the pieces, but whatever i decide, know this, if you are all trully my friends you will respect my decision." Marinette said as she opened the door to her room, "Now if you excuse me, i have to finish packing."

The group hung their heads and left, they fucked up, now they knew, she wanted them to understand how much they hurt her, in a way they deserved what happened to them.

The next day Marinette left for Kagami's bording school, and from the rooftops Alya. Adrien and the others silently saw her off, hoping she would forgive them.

But a broken heart is like a broken plate, just because you find the pieces doesen't mean you can put them back together so easilly.
