Hai, guys!
I don't own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir.
"Marinette, wake up!" Tikki shook Marinette's shoulders gently.
"Ugh." Marinette groaned, putting her head over her pillows.
Tikki sighed. "Today's Adrien's birthday!" She exclaimed. "Where's your present?"
Marinette shot out of bed, running to her computer. "No it's not." She said, inserting her password into the computer. Her background photo, a picture of her, Nino, Adrien, and Alya showed, and she smiled quickly at that before pressing on the calendar app.
"It's Adrien/Chat's birthday, remember to give him a present as Ladybug and as Marinette!" A notification said.
"It is his birthday, do I have anything?" Marinette asked herself, looking around her room.
She found a Chat Noir inspired beanie and a blue scarf. Perfect. After she showered, she wrapped both of them separately and decided to give Adrien the blue scarf and Chat Noir the beanie.
She was really lucky.
She put the gift carefully in her backpack and headed down the trapdoor, to the stairs, and down into the dining room. "Marinette, don't forget to clean your room after school today." Sabine reminded her daughter.
"But mom, it's Friday, and I'm already doing something with my friends!"
"Fine, I'll go ahead and do it, but don't blame me if I come across any of your private stuff, like your emails or your diary-"
Marinette looked like a deer stuck in headlights. "Okay, okay, I'll do it!" She kissed her mom goodbye and headed to the door.
"Have a good day at school!"
"Have a good day too!'
Adrien gargled the water and spit it out in his sink. Then, he wiped his mouth with the towel and checked his hair. "Happy birthday, Adrien!" Plagg said, flying over to Adrien with a piece of camembert cheese with a piece of red ribbon tied to it.
"Eww Plagg, get that filthy piece of camembert out of my face!" Adrien exclaimed, plugging his nose.
"Your loss!" Plagg said, eating the camembert whole.
Adrien opened up his jacket and Plagg flew inside, then Adrien walked to the dining room to eat breakfast. He sat down in his seat and started to eat the pancakes on his plate.
"Your schedule, Adrien." Nathalie said, handing him a piece of paper.
"Thanks Nathalie." Adrien said, while Nathalie almost walked out. "Hey, um, did my father get back to you about my birthday party?"
Nathalie turned around nervously and looked at Adrien. "Oh, um, he doesn't think it would be a good idea."
Adrien's face dropped. "'Course not." He spoke softly.
"Happy birthday, Adrien." Nathalie said, leaving the room.
~(AFTER SCHOOL)
Nino blew some bubbles as he talked to Adrien. "Dude, seriously? Has your dad always been such a downer? You'd think he'd remember what is was like to be young and party a little."
Adrien sighed. "No, I'm pretty sure he was a downer back then too. At least I tried."
Nino wrapped an arm around Adrien's neck. "It's your birthday dude! Insist!"
-/-/-
"It's time to give him his gift!" Marinette exclaimed, walking down the steps of the school.
"Why didn't you just give it to him earlier?" Alya asked.
"Because, it would be an interruption in class, and Chloe!" Marinette reasoned.
"Okay, girl. I'll be waiting." Alya stopped by one of the bushes and waited there while Marinette made her way to the two boys.
-/-/-
"You know what, I'm going to have a little convo with your Pops!" Nino declared.
Adrien sighed again. "Forget it, he's not going to change his mind."
"Hey Adrien, Nino!" Marinette exclaimed, hiding the present behind her back.
"Hey, Mari." Adrien said with a sad look on his face.
"Aww, cheer up. I have something for you-"
Marinette got shoved out of the way by Chloe. She brushed herself off and headed towards her. "Chloe, I was trying to give my friend a gift, so can I please do it?!" She asked, stomping her foot down.
"I bet it's some yucky macarons from her bakery. Adrikins, I can get you amazing macarons at my hotel!" Chloe proclaimed.
Marinette groaned and handed Adrien a blue box, which had the blue scarf safely embedded inside of it. "Wow, thanks Mari!" He exclaimed, tearing open the box. He took off the cover and took out a blue scarf. "Wow!"
"Well, put it on!" Marinette said impatiently.
Adrien wrapped it around his neck. "Thanks again. This is amazing!" He said, wrapping her in a hug.
"Ugh! Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!" Chloe shouted, storming off.
A black limo pulled up to the school. "Gotta go- photoshoot." Adrien said, grinning. "That's again, Marinette."
Marinette made her way back to Alya and fist bumped her.
"Looks like I have a bit of business to take care of with Adrien's old man." Nino said to himself, walking to Adrien's house.
Nino pressed the doorbell of his best friend's house, his pockets in his hands. "Hello?" Nathalie asked. A camera shot at Nino's face, and he had to back up a little.
"Uh, hi." Nino said. "I'm Adrien's best friend, um-"
The gate opened. "Go ahead." Nathalie said, turning off the camera.
Nino stepped inside the gates, and then made his way over to the big double doors, which he knocked on before Nathalie came and opened it up for him. "He'll be here in a minute." Nathalie informed the boy.
"Adrien's not home yet." Gabriel Agreste walked down to the base of the stairs, then waited there for this kid's response.
"Uh, I was coming to see you, du- sir!" Nino said, his back straighting up.
Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "Me?"
"Yeah, that's right. Look, I know you don't want Adrien to have a party, but it's his birthday du- sir! It's all he wants!" Nino pleaded, keeping his hands in his pockets.
"No." Gabriel raised his palm. "That's final."
"That's messed up! He never screws up in class, and he always does whatever you tell him to! Photoshoots, fencing, Chinese, piano-"
Adrien walked in without anyone noticing, wearing the blue scarf that Mari gave him. "Nino?" He asked. "You're here!"
Nino turned around. "Anything for my best bud." He smiled, then turned back to Gabriel. "Show some awesomeness du- I mean, sir!"
Gabriel displayed a look of anger on his face, and Adrien knew what was coming. "Forget it, Nino, it's fine, really!"
"Listen young man, I decide what's best for my son." Gabriel thought for another moment before speaking. "In fact, I've just decided you're a bad influence and you're never welcome in my house again. Leave, now!"
"Father, he was just trying to do something cool for me!" Adrien reasoned, but Gabriel already left. Nathalie stepped in front of the two kids.
"Goodbye." She said, turning to Nino.
Nino left sadly, opening the big doors, and stepping outside the gates. He looked at the house one more time before leaving.
Adrien turned angrily to his assistant and ran outside to catch up with Nino. "Nino, wait!"
"It's not fair, Adrien!" Nino said, turning to his best friend. "That's harsh, and uncool." He left, crossing his arms.
(A/N: NO! YOU DO NOT JUST TURN YOUR BACK ON KITTY! THAT IS RUDEEEEEEEEEE)
"Thanks anyways, Nino." Adrien sighed.
Nathalie left that debacle and went back to working in her little office place. "Nathalie, where did Adrien get that scarf?" Gabriel asked from a screen.
"I think he got it from a friend at school- she's one of the ones that come over- she knows how to sew- um, Marinette, I think?"
"Ahh yes, Marinette. She has a lot of good potential." Gabriel said to himself, before talking to the assistant. "Did you remember to get him a present for me?"
"Um, you didn't ask-"
"Of course I did!" Gabriel shouted angrily.
"Yes, Mr. Agreste." Nathalie sighed, turning off the screen.
She looked around in worry for a few seconds, then decided to head to the store to get something for him so Gabriel wouldn't be mad.
Nino slumped on a bench in the park, looking angry. It just wasn't fair to him. Adrien was never free, he should be able to do things he wants to.
"But daddy, please?" A little boy in the park asked his father. Nino watched as the father pulled him along, telling him he had chores to do.
"Adults ruin everything, all the time!" Nino exclaimed, blowing bubbles even more angry then he was before.
-/-/-
"Desperate to help his friend, but feeling powerless." Hawkmoth summoned a pure, white butterfly, before turning it black with a touch of his hand. "Fly away my little Akuma, and evilise him!"
-/-/-
Nino blew a few more bubbles, before the black butterfly flew over to him and infected his bubble wand. Nino looked up with an angry face, and a purple silhouette appeared near his eyes.
"Hawkmoth is my name, and Bubbler is now yours. I will help you with these horrid adults, and all you have to do is help me get something from Ladybug and Chat Noir."
Nino stood up, being transformed into a colorful person almost clown like, with a huge bubble sword wand. "Yes, Hawkmoth."
The Bubbler jumped to a top of a building, and got his bubble wand ready. "No more adults means total freedom! This is SOOO sweet! Off the hook!" He took out his bubble wand, and used it to fly all over Paris, capturing any adult that was outside.
"I wonder if Adrien will have a birthday party today?" Marinette asked herself, taking a bite of her lunch.
"What's that you said?" Sabine asked, turning around to take a look at her daughter.
"I'm just curious if Adrien's going to have a party today, that's all!"
Sabine smiled and walked over to the balcony, where a purple bubble snuck up from behind and captured her. "MOM?!" Marinette screamed, running to the window. "MOM!"
She looked at all these parents being kidnapped and taken into the sky- including her dad. "DAD!"
"Your parents!" Tikki gasped, jumping out of her pocket.
"We have to find the newest victim of Hawkmoth, ASAP. Tikki, SPOTS ON!"
The Bubbler was on a rooftop, not possibly even caring if his parents were captured. "And now," He said, taking out his wand. "PARTY TIME!" He blew a few bubbles into the air, and they spread all over Paris.
Ladybug ran outside of the bakery, just in time to see the Bubbler speaking through his bubbles.
"Today is your lucky day, little dudes. The adults have taken the day off, so make the most of it. No chores, no more nagging, just fun, fun, fun! This is the Bubbler's gift to you." The bubbles then just popped, and the Bubbler ran on top of the rooftops to go somewhere.
Ladybug crouched down to two little kids who were crying. "Don't worry, your parents will come back- I'll see to it." She turned to the teenager who was standing next to the two children in confusion. "You take care of these two while the adults are gone, okay?" Ladybug asked, using her yoyo to latch onto a lamp post.
The children cheered for Ladybug, who was already making her way to Adrien's house.
Adrien finished his meal and stood up, looking bored. "Wow." He said to nobody in particular. "That was a birthday lunch break to remember. Yay." He said, hitting his fist up in the air.
He walked into the foyer, looking around for Nathalie and his father. "Nathalie? Father?"
"SURPRISE!" Adrien was taken aback by how his classmates threw him a party- the first one in his lifetime!
"Hey, hey, hey, birthday boy!" The Bubbler spoke on a bubble that he was standing on. "Guess what? Daddy's gone. When the cat's away, the mice will play!"
"Nino?!" Adrien asked in a tone that was surprised and confused.
"The Bubbler's brought all your homies together for one single sole purpose- to CE-LE-BRATE!" The Bubbler jumped behind a DJ booth and started playing some music, while everyone tried to stay happy. "Let's get this party started!"
Everyone started to dance, but they looked sad. "Come on everybody, I brought you here to party, so DANCE or join the adults up in the sky HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He cackled, everyone dancing more lively.
-/-/-
"It won't be long before Ladybug and Chat Noir show up to meet their doom!" Hawkmoth laughed. "Muhahahahahaha!"
Adrien ran up to his room, looking at the Bubbler. "What's your problem? Relax! You're getting the party you've always wanted!"
"But Nino's been akumatized! I've got to help him!"
"You may never get this chance again! Come on, let's have a little fun while your father's away! Then you and Mari will save Nino, capture his Akuma, and all will be good!"
Adrien's slight frown turned into a smile. "Okay, you're right. This might be the first day in my life where I actually get to do what I want for a change!"
Adrien ran outside to join the party.
Ladybug jumped from rooftop to rooftop, looking for the Bubbler. "It's just you and me." She said to herself, looking over the party. She saw Adrien dancing and everyone was enjoying themselves.
"You are SO dead, Agreste!" She said quietly to herself.
-/-/-
Adrien walked over to a sad looking Rose. "Hey, nice party I guess, since it's my first one." Rose smiled and gave him two thumbs up. Adrien turned around to see everyone dancing, but not enjoying themselves any longer.
Chloe motioned to Sabrina to go talk to the Bubbler. Sabrina nodded frightfully, and walked over to the DJ. "Um, I've been asked to request a slow dance?" She asked, trembling.
"Isn't a bit too early for that?" The Bubbler asked.
Chloe scoffed and shoved Sabrina out of the way. "It's for Adrien. His first slow dance, hmmm?" She asked, puckering her lips.
"OH!" The Bubbler said. "You know it, girl!" He said, changing the current pop music to slow dance music.
Everyone started to pair up, and Chloe walked over to Adrien. "Is it just me, or is everyone a bit weird?" Adrien asked her.
Chloe scoffed and pulled him aside. "Forget about them, let's go dance!"
Adrien awkwardly put his hands around her waist, and Chloe began to pull in for a kiss. "Am I really going to do this with CHLOE?!" Adrien asked himself. "She's not even nice! I'd rather kiss a nice girl! I mean, are you being serious?! Like, Marinette is a better choice.. What am I saying?! Marinette is my best friend!"
Ladybug was watching all this happen above on a rooftop.
"There is no way that is happening!" She whisper yelled, summoning her lucky charm. A CD fell out of the sky.
She hit the CD so it would bounce off the wall, and into the player, knocking the other CD off.
A new song began to play, and everyone started dancing to Miraculous instead.
"Miraculous! Simply the best! Up to the test when things go wrong!" The CD played.
"Dude, who just hijacked my mix?!" The bubbler asked.
"Miraculous! The luckiest, the power of love always so strong!"
"Yours truly." Ladybug said, her earrings beeping.
She ran over the wall and jumped so she landed on her feet. "Spots off." She said, and Tikki appeared in front of her.
"Marinette!" She scolded.
"It was an emergency! Poor Adrien would have to kiss Chloe! I couldn't do that to one of my best friends!" Marinette claimed.
"Yeah, sure." Tikki laughed. "I'm hungry, though."
"Dream on! I would dare to think of dating Adrien! He has too many puns, and he is just not my type."
"Okay, sure. Let's go, Marinette!" Tikki whispered while Marinette put her in her purse.
Marinette walked over the open gate, where there was a food stand with cookies. Marinette started to stock up on them in her purse, until-
"Girl, where were you?! I was so worried!" Alya shouted, hugging Marinette tightly.
"Me too!" She said, shutting her purse so Tikki could eat in peace.
"I'm sure Ladybug and Chat will be here soon. They never failed us." Alya said, letting go of Marinette. The two of them headed back to the party, where Alya began dancing again.
Marinette made her way over to Adrien, who she pulled aside. "Let's go!" She yelled, grabbing his arm and the two of them headed to the base of Adrien's house to transform.
"What was that all about?" Adrien asked, gesturing to the outside music.
"Well, I was trying to get your attention, but you didn't listen. You are so dead later on in patrol." Marinette warned, pointing her finger at him.
"Give the kid a break!" Plagg said, flying out of his jacket. "It was my idea."
"True!" Adrien said, blaming it all on Plagg.
"Whatever, it's your fault for listening to Plagg!" Marinette yelled.
Tikki popped out of the bag to say that she was ready, and Marinette and Adrien transformed and ran outside.
"The party's over, Bubbler!" Ladybug screamed, with Chat Noir close behind.
"Dude, why you gotta be like that?!" The Bubbler yelled back, his wand at the ready. (A/N: I'm sorry, I just love Harry Potter so much I had to include that in there. XD)
"Because you made all the adults disappear!" Chat Noir replied.
"You two are party poopers. Just like adults!" The Bubbler took out his wand and blew a few bubbles, and Ladybug and Chat took out their weapons and started popping them.
The party ran to the safety of the sidelines, where they watched there.
The Bubbler smirked and snapped his fingers, the bubbles sticking to Ladybug and Chat, until it finally formed a big, huge bubble.
"You two can go join the adults up in the sky!" The Bubbler ran towards the two of them, kicking them up into the air.
-/-/-
"Bubbler, what are you doing?! You're supposed to take their Miraculous!" Hawkmoth screamed from inside his lair.
Maybe the Bubbler wasn't the best choice for capturing Akumas.
"Chat, use Cataclysm!" Ladybug exclaimed, pointing at his right hand.
Chat rolled his eyes. "Couldn't you have said that the first five hundred feet ago?"
"I'm serious! If we don't get out of this bubble, the Bubbler will rule over Paris forever!"
"That wouldn't matter, because they don't have our Miraculous!" Chat said, fighting back.
Ladybug scowled at Chat, who displayed a cheeky grin on his face. "We still wouldn't have food, or water, so just use your stu- I mean, superpower already!" Ladybug screamed.
Chat rolled his eyes again. "Cataclysm!" He shouted, raising his right hand into the air. He pulled it back down and tiny black spots appeared around his glove. He pressed his hand gently on the green bubble, and then he and Ladybug fell from the sky.
"Do you think you could land on your feet this time?!"
"No, and I don't want to try!" Chat said, extending his stick so it could latch onto the Eiffel Tower. He extended his free arm and Ladybug held onto it, then the two of them landed safely on the ground.
"Thanks." Ladybug gasped, falling on the ground from exhaustion.
"No problem. I'm- out- of- breath- too." Chat wheezed.
He finally snapped out of it when he realized that if Ladybug doesn't capture the Akuma in time, the parents will float up in space and they won't have food or water. "We better go, My Lady." The cat themed superhero grabbed his staff and started catapulting it onto buildings, not waiting for Ladybug.
"HEY!" Ladybug shrieked, grabbing her yoyo from her belt. "I'M THE ONE WHO CAN CAPTURE THE AKUMAS, YOU STUPID CAT!" She hooked her yoyo onto a lamp post and started swinging it from light to light, eventually catching up with her annoying partner.
"WHERE IS EVERYONE?! GET OUT HERE AND PARTY, OR JOIN YOUR PARENTS UP IN THE SKY!" The Bubbler demanded, stamping his foot down.
No luck. No one moved an inch.
"Sorry to burst you bubble, Bubbler." Ladybug taunted, with Chat Noir close behind.
The Bubbler turned around and held his wand in front of him, so it could be threatening.
"LADYBUG AND CHAT!" Alya squealed, turning on her camera.
Their classmates began chanting the two superheroes names, encouraging them.
"Who's side are you on, mine or theirs!?" The Bubbler asked, pointing his stick at the students on the sidelines.
"They're obviously on our side." Chat boasted, flipping his pretend long hair.
The Bubbler growled and blew some bubbles, capturing the students. "Fine! If you're on their side, go float with the adults! You don't deserve my pity!" The green bubbles he just blew started floating up towards the sun, causing Ladybug to panic.
"When were you ever pitiful?" Chat Noir muttered under his breath, until he looked up and saw his classmates flying away.
"NO!" They yelled, watching in horror as their classmates flew up, up, and away.
"Outer space is the next stop for them, along with your adults!" The Bubbler cackled, jumping from rooftop to rooftop until he got to the Eiffel Tower, with Ladybug and Chat closely behind. The two of them followed the Bubbler up near the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, while the Bubbler threw explosives at them.
(They were bubbles, of course.)
"I'm going to switch back soon, you better hurry!" Chat said, watching the green color on his ring slowly fade.
"Okay. LUCKY CHARM!" She sent her yoyo into the air, and little hearts formed around it. She pulled the yoyo back down and in her hands she had a big, ladybug spotted wrench.
"Um, do you know how to use that?" Chat questioned as Ladybug shrugged and activated her vision.
Chat started to climb the Eiffel Tower, dodging the bubbles that one of his best friends in civilian form threw at him.
"Are you sure that's all you got?!" Chat teased at the Bubbler, only making him angrier.
As for Ladybug's vision, it highlighted a vent, a vent pipe, and the screw connecting them- and of course the wrench.
"Got it!" She shouted at Chat Noir as she ran to the pipe and started to loosen the screw as the pipe came off.
Chat dropped down to her level, and grabbed the vent pipe, covering any bubbles that the Bubbler threw at them. "C'mon Lady, hurry up!" Chat complained, using his other hand to rub his arm. "My arm hurts!"
As the Bubbler was taking a look at his wand, Ladybug used her yoyo to snatch it and break it, the evil butterfly flying out. "Get out of there, you nasty bug."
She threw her yoyo in a spiral, capturing the akuma. "Time to de-evil-ise!" She pressed lightly on the yoyo, causing the now purified butterfly to fly out. "Bye bye, little butterfly."
She threw her wrench in the air, causing little ladybugs to go around and fix everything up- Nathalie returned to her shopping, Tom was at the bakery, and Sabine was on the balcony. "MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!"
Chat walked over to Nino, Ladybug trailing behind.
"Uhh, what happened?" Nino asked, looking around.
"You got Akumatized." Chat informed him. "You should go home now."
Nino nodded and ran away to his house, leaving the two superheroes behind. Ladybug and Chat both held out their fists. "POUND IT!"
"Meet you at patrol?" Chat asked, and Ladybug remembered the gift.
"Yeah." Ladybug ran off to her balcony, and she turned back to normal.
She headed back into her room, looking for the gift. "Where in the world is it?!" She asked Tikki, who was sitting on the bed eating cookies.
"I think you put it in your drawer!" Tikki suggested, and Marinette jogged over quickly and opened it.
Inside was the green and black gift. Marinette hugged it, saying, "Thanks, Tikki!"
"This was the weirdest birthday ever." Adrien said, eating a snack in his room with Plagg watching the news.
"Agreed, kid." Plagg chomped on another kind of cheese that Adrien imported from America. "This cheese does taste weird!"
"I wasn't talking about the cheese- nevermind." Adrien sighed, putting down his grapes on his small coffee table.
"Kid, cheer up! Don't you have a meeting with your girlfriend?" Plagg teased.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Adrien snapped, stamping his foot down on the ground.
Plagg dropped his cheese. "Okay, okay."
Knock knock.
Plagg flew into Adrien's jacket, eating his cheese quietly.
"Come in!" Adrien yelled, and Nathalie entered with a box. She set it on the table in front of Adrien. "A gift, from the whole staff."
Adrien smiled and ripped it open. Inside, was Miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir action figures! "Cool!" Adrien exclaimed. "I have action figures of the two best superheroes in the world! Thanks, Nathalie!"
Nathalie set another gift down. It was small.
"From your Father." Nathalie left and shut the door firmly behind her.
"Ooh, thanks dad!" Adrien said to nobody in particular.
He tore it open. Inside, was a signed autograph of Ladybug and Chat Noir.
It was ironic, since he could get this where ever Marinette/Ladybug was.
He was still grateful.
Ladybug waited at the top of the Eiffel Tower with her gift to Chat in her lap. "I wonder if he will like it?" She asked herself, playing with the little strings attached to the gift.
"Hey Mari!" Chat saying her civilian name made her jump a tiny bit. "What? No one's around."
"You're right." Ladybug said, relaxing.
Chat tried to look at her, but it felt like she was avoiding his gaze. He looked down to see what she was staring at. Another gift!
"Is this for me?" Chat asked, taking the present and turning it around in his hand.
"Um, yeah.. I mean, you are kind of like two people with and without the mask, so I felt like it was only fair if I got you two gifts! That doesn't make sense, does it." She mumbled.
Chat laughed and unwrapped the gift. "You didn't have to do this, you know."
"Yes, I did! I mean, just see what's inside."
Chat lifted the top of the gift and saw two not one, but two beanies inside. One Ladybug and one Chat themed.
He pulled the Chat one over his head.
"It's more of a civilian thing, though.. Soooo-"
He took off the beanie, and put it back inside the box. "Plagg, claws in!" Chat yelled, retransforming into Adrien. He pulled the beanie over the top of his head. "That's better, right?"
"I guess." Ladybug laughed, looking up in the sky until she felt something warm on her lap...
Adrien put the Ladybug beanie on her lap, and Ladybug just stared at it. "Whaaa?"
"Well, detransform and wear it!" Adrien deadpanned.
"But this is my gift to you!"
"Um, well this is my gift to you for giving me a gift." Adrien smirked. "And, it's my birthday. And, every Chat needs a Ladybug."
"Fine. But only because it's your birthday." She set the beanie next to her, and retransformed into Marinette. Adrien put the Ladybug beanie lazily on the top of her head, and the two sat together, the Kwamis in their lap.
"Happy birthday, Adrien." Marinette said, breaking the silence.
"Thanks."
More silence came their way, until Tikki realized something.
"How are the two of you going to get down!?"
