JOKE ENDING: Chapter 3 - What if the mace spray had actually been a mace?
Thump. Marinette frowned, wiping her tears and putting down the half-finished sketch. Did, had she heard something…? Tikki peeked over the edge of the loft, looking straight at their chosen. "You should transform." Marinette grimaced. An akuma then.
"Tikki, spots on!" Sparkles covered Marinette and established into an indestructible suit. Ladybug sighed contently. It felt good to be her. But first, the akuma. An akuma that probably existed because of Chloe, Chloe who had been even more horrible today, who told Adrien that Marinette liked him-Get it under control! She had to defeat the akuma now rather than later, she couldn't concentrate like this. "Miraculous Ladybug!"
Ladybug yelped as the polka-dotted item clanged on the ground. At least she knew her parents hadn't heard; they slept like the dead. She picked it up. "A mace? Really?"
"Hey Ladybug what-" Ladybug reacted instinctively at an unknown voice coming from behind her.
"OH HELL NO!" She swung at the akuma, punting them out of the hatch and ceiling. They few into the air, grabbing onto the balcony rail with their claws. Claws? Her eyes wide, Ladybug put a hand over her mouth as person climbed onto her balcony.
"N-nice hit My-My Lady." Chat panted, landing on his feet. He bent over and gestured with a claw to wait a minute. Shoot. Shoot, shoot, shoot shoot shoot shi-"What are you doing here at Marinette's?"
Um. "What are you doing at Marinette's?"
Chat splayed a hand on his chest, grinning and apparently recovered from his impromptu fall. "I was merely visiting a friend. Wait…" Chat Noir squinted. He took in Ladybug's stance, the way she held onto the mace nervously, how she must have been in Marinette's bedroom, her pigtails. His pupils blew wide as he looked up at her wondrously. "Marinette?"
Ladybug waved shyly, still clutching the mace. "Hi."
