Adrien sat in the park, taking deep breathes as Plagg just ate his stinky cheese snack. He thought back to the compact Ladybug had in her hand, even after saying Miraculous Ladybug, and the power that came from it. He didn't even need to use his Caticlysm to help out in any way!
"What was that magic Ladybug used?" He asked himself, as Plagg threw his piece of cheese in the air, and caught it whole in his mouth.
"I don't know. But it wasn't anything she used before." Plagg answered.
"And I have the answers you might need." A voice spoke up from the tree to Adrien's right. He freaked when he turned around to see a girl with long brown hair, and pale skin wearing what looked like a traditional Japanese private school uniform, only more fitting and not baggy, with the skirt a little short, but not too short. "Relax, I won't tell anyone that you're Chat Noir." She said as she pushed herself off of the tree and walked towards him. As she walked out of the shade, Adrien could now see that this girl had pale pink low-lights in her hair. It actually made her look prettier.
"How'd you figure it out?" Adrien asked.
"Well, first of all, Plagg is a very noisy eater..." The girl began, making Adrien give his Kwami a look of 'this is your fault'. "...and I recognize the eyes. They're green just like Chat Noir's, only with more white than his."
"Yeah...I'm surprised you made me. No one else has...not even Marinette."
"So you do like her...in that way."
"Well...yeah. But, I also have feelings for Ladybug."
"I could tell. You were really worried about her when she was thrown into that wall earlier."
Adrien sighed as she said this. If only she figured out how much he truly loves her. She was everything he wanted in a girl, and she was his dream and world. If anything happened to her, he'd be nothing. And now he was seeing similar personality traits between Ladybug and Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She wasn't acting all nervous around him like she used to anymore. Well, yeah, sure, he does catch her off guard and she does freak a little after that, but she talked to him like a normal friend after that rush of fear that she'd get from his surprise speak up. He was starting to debate who was who anymore.
"Well I can tell you that Marinette likes you just the same." The girl said as she sat down next to him, with Plagg floating by his head.
"How do you know that? I don't even know you." Adrien stated as he looked into her hazel blue eyes.
"My name is Adeline Chanson, and I was once best friends with Marinette when we were little kids." Adeline answered as she took out a photo from her pale blue satchel and showed it to Adrien. The photo was of Adeline at 10 years old, with a 10 year old Marinette standing next to her, with her cute black hair in their low riding pigtails like always, and with her right arm hooked with Adeline's left arm. "See?"
"Aw...Marinette looks so cute there!" Adrien exclaimed.
"Adeline!" Marinette's voice spoke up as she ran up to them. "Showing old photos again?"
"Sorry, I needed proof that you and I were friends for this friend of yours." Adeline replied with a giggle coming afterwards.
"Uh huh..." Marinette murmured with a smirk on her face, which only made Adrien see more of Ladybug in the young fashion designer.
"Wait a minute..." Adrien began as he looked back at Adeline, seeing the distinct features of someone he met when he was 11. "...you wouldn't happen to be Oliver Chanson's daughter, would you?"
"Wow, haven't been asked that in a while." Adeline responded as Marinette giggled at her friends misfortune of fame. "Actually, yes. That is my father. Why do you ask?"
"My mother and father worked with her one day. I even met your dad on the day he was getting ready to record a new song for his next album." Adrien answered.
"I thought I recognized that blond hair!" Adeline answered, making the three friends laugh. "Yeah...he's been gone for a while now."
"Oh, Addie...I'm so sorry." Marinette began, as she sat down next to her childhood BFF.
"Thanks, but I'm fine. He's been dead for 2 years, and the way he died, has made me somewhat of a trainwreck." Adeline began. "That's why I came back. I needed to be back in my hometown."
"That's understandible." Adrien said as he touched her one hand, making her look over at him, and smiled.
I see why you like him, Mari...he's a sweetheart. She thought to herself, before they heard someone scream off in the distance, making the trio look over to see a girl, who looked extremely like the girl Marinette saw moments ago.
Her outfit was different though. Her sailor fuku was all black this time, with see through black pointed short sleeves on her shoulders. Her gloves were long and black with red cuffs on her upper arm. The bow on her chest was red with a black sailor collar on her back, that had two red lines on it, a red waistband with a red bow on her back, a black mini-skirts with a red underskirt, along with a black one under that. Her ear rings were black crescent moons, and her hair clips were red, while the circles on her buns were black and white. Her boots were red, with a black band on top of them. Her chocker was red with a black crescent moon on her and on her forehead was a upside down, U shaped crescent moon as well.
"Oh no..." Adeline said under her breathe. "...he got to her." A little head peeked out of Adeline's satchel, and saw the girl with long blond hair with black highlights shooting people with dark moon magic.
"I am Eternal Dark Moon, and I will find my lost sister!" She yelled as she shot another person, making them fall down onto the grass, unconscious. "No one will get in my way!"
"Uh, I have to go." Marinette began to leave when she saw a little pink Kwami with blue butterfly wings in front of Adeline. "What the...?!"
"Fifi..." Adeline began, as she swiped her right hand on the butterfly of her necklace, making white sparkles shine everywhere, only to grow going all around the girl in question. "...WINGS ON!" And with that, the Kwami known as Fifi flew into Adeline's necklace, turning into a rainbow, and then, a royal blue mask went over Adeline's eyes, before a circle of light went down her body, changing her school uniform into a pink leotard with pale pink elbow length gloves, and pale pink high-heeled knee length boots on her feet, over her pink pants.
Then, her necklace glowed brightly making a white dress form over the leotard, with a gold band around her waist, a pale star in the center of that, and a rainbow of colors on the fold in front. Also, a royal blue bow formed behind her, keeping the skirt in place, before she struck a pose, cuing her transformation was done.
"WHAT?! YOU'RE...?!"
"Yes, Marinette...I'm a Miraculous holder." Adeline answered. "I'm Butterfly, and this poor girl is going to need Ladybug's help. God knows I can't purify an Akuma." She then ran towards the akumatized girl as Marinette ran into her spot with Adrien following suit.
"I had no idea." Adrien said, before he noticed Plagg was still sitting on the bench. Thankfully, Marinette never noticed him. But...he felt like he needed to tell someone at least. Adeline already knew his secret, so why not tell Marinette. "I mean, time to let the cat out of the bag."
Marinette looked at him, surprised to hear him say a pun, that sounded like what Chat Noir would say, before getting the surprise of her life when he looked over at the bench, making her look to see a black cat Kwami sitting there. Seeing this, made her blush.
"Plagg...CLAWS OUT!" And with him saying this, the little black Kwami was absorbed into his ring, turning him into Chat Noir.
"You're Chat Noir!?" Marinette exclaimed surprised.
"Shocked, Mari?" He asked.
"Clearly!" Marinette said with a grin that looked like Ladybug's in Adrien's opinion.
"Well...I better go help Butterfly before she..."
"Wait...Chat, or Adrien..." Marinette began, stopping Adrien in his tracks making him look into her eyes. She was debating whether or not telling him, or showing him like he showed her, that she was Ladybug. But would he accept that it was her? The cowardly girl in school was all along Ladybug! Yeah, that could push him a way...but he showed her, she had to return the favor.
"What is it, Marinette?" Chat asked, before Marinette backed up some, and opened her satchel, seeing that Tikki was awake now, and smiling. She knew it was time too.
"Tikki..." She began, making Chat's eyes widen, when he saw Tikki fly out of her satchel. "...SPOTS ON!" She declared before having her one ear ring absorb Tikki, creating little spots on it, and then turning Marinette in France's number 1 hero, Ladybug.
"No...way..." Chat began, as Ladybug looked at him.
"You going to just stare at me like a deer in headlights, kitty, or are we going to help Butterfly?" She said as she grabbed her yo-yo and ran into battle, leaving Chat to just stare at her.
His expression of surprise and shock started to melt into happiness. He finally got to learn who his lady truly was, and it was the most talented fashion designer, and kind hearted girl in his school. Also the friend he was starting to form feelings for. Now, he knew what to do.
He went to run into the battle, when he grabbed his head, stopping him in his tracks, as an image of an area long ago, with him as himself, wearing a prince like outfit, running up to a young 10 year old girl in a red dress. He saw himself flip her onto her back, and immediately, he saw 10 year old Marinette, as he was pulled back to the present time, and looked over at Marinette (as Ladybug) fighting off the akumatized girl. Did I know her in another life? He asked himself in thought.
After a while, he put it in the back his mind before he ran into the battle, and started fighting the girl as well.
Rini ran around France, looking for Serena, when she noticed the battle going on, and noticed the distinct hairstyle of her future mom, only with black highlights throughout them and a darker uniform than her Eternal Sailor Moon one. "Oh no." She said before pulling up her wrist, and paging Setsuna, telling her that we have a bigger problem now, before pulling out her own broach.
"Moon, Cosmic, Dream, ACTION!" And with those words, Rini turned into Super Sailor Mini Moon, before running into battle as well. "Moon, Tiara, ACTION!" She yelled as she threw her tiara at her future mom, only to have it be deflected by Eternal Dark Moon's Moon Tiare, that looked similar to her Eternal Sailor Moon one, only with darker colors.
Rini cartwheeled out of the way of a blast E.D.M through at her, and then back flipped as she grabbed her tiara and put it back on her forehead.
"Who are you?" Ladybug asked, before noticing the similarities between this girl and the akumatized girl. Same hairstyle, same eye shape, same skin color...it was weird to say the least.
"No time to explain. I am Sailor Mini Moon, and I need you to save this girl!" Rini yelled over to them, as she was shot at by another beam of magic, before side stepping so she didn't get hit.
"Sailor Mini Moon?" Chat asked confused.
"I'll explain after this." Rini declared as she pulled out her old heart wand.
"Rainbow, Deadly, SCREAM!" Adeline (as Butterfly) stated as a beam of a rainbow shot towards E.D.M, only to have the girl use a reverse on the attack and shot it back at Butterfly, knocking her down in the process.
"Pink, Sugar, Heart, ATTACK!" Little hearts came out of the wand, and hit E.D.M, making her fall to the ground, stunned. "Now, Ladybug!"
Ladybug nodded before looking over her uniform, only to see the same broach on her chest bow as what the girl she saw moments ago had, only in black and red. That's where the Akuma is. She thought before getting ready to throw her yo-yo at her broach, when she remembered her compact. She pulled it out and looked at it for the longest time, before gripping it tightly in her hand. A name popped in her head, a name that sounded pretty, a name...that no many heard of today.
"Serenity..." She spoke under her breathe, before having the compact open itself up and shoot a beam of light at the broach on E.D.M's uniform. The light hit head on, breacking it in half, and letting the Akuma fly out.
"No more evil doing for you, little Akuma." She said before opening up her yo-yo. She then threw it, caught it, and clensed it, before releasing it to the world. "Bye bye, little butterfly."
The butterfly flew over to a now standing Adeline, and landed on her finger. She smiled as she kissed it and then let it fly off to make the world beautiful again. She walked up to the girl who was now looking normal again, her hair back to being completely blond, and her uniform changed to her normal clothes again.
"MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" Ladybug yelled as she shot up the compact, letting the diamond inside it glow, and repaired everything in the world that E.D.M destroyed...even Serena's broach.
Serena looked up to see Ladybug and Chat Noir standing there, but she also saw Butterfly, not knowing who she was.
"Serena!" Rini began as she knelt down by the future queen, making the girl in question look over at Rini.
"Rini, how did I get here?! What's going on?!"
"You were akumatized by our enemy, Hawk Moth. He must have sensed your urge to want to find someone you lost once before, and used that to his advantage." Butterfly answered as she walked up to Serena and held out her hand. Serena took it as she stood up with Rini following her actions.
"Oh, my...I'm so sorry." Serena said as she looked over at Ladybug, who was still holding the compact from earlier. It reminded her of the one from the past that her lost sister had.
"It's no problem. It's our job to help and protect the people of Paris." Chat answered as he put an arm around Ladybug.
"I'm not from Paris. I'm from Japan." Serena answered with a grin.
"Serena, I believe this is yours." Rini said as she hand Serena her Eternal Moon broach, making her grab it and hug is tightly.
"Oh, what would I do with this!" She said as a tear fell down her cheek.
"I'm glad everything turned out okay." Ladybug said, as Serena looked up at her again, seeing the same resemblance to herself as she did earlier. "See you around." And with that, Marinette swung her yo-yo, and she was out of the area.
