This is a truly special occasion- why? Because today is the one year anniversary of our bae show, Miraculous Ladybug! AHHH! So, this has literally not based off of an episode, like my normal chapters are, but I hope you enjoy!
And yes, the next part of Stormy Weather is coming. This is kind of like a side story.
I don't own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir.
Beep, beep!
Marinette slams her hand down on her large alarm clock, causing it to stop all of the annoying noise. The teenager rolls over and hops out of bed, feeling cheerful. You see, last night she spent all night creating Adrien's favorite type of cupcake from the bakery- the Vanilla Special.
It's a vanilla cupcake with vanilla beans embedded in the white frosting, and on top, it has a fondant flower that she had been working on perfecting forever. She made at least five of these, then made two mini camembert cupcakes for Plagg, Adrien's black cat kwami.
"Why are you so cheerful?" Tikki asked, flying over to Marinette who has a little black and red small present in her hands.
"It's the one year anniversary of me and Adrien debuting as Ladybug and Chat!" Marinette answered cheerfully, handing Tikki the present. "Speaking of which, here is something you haven't tried yet!"
"Why thanks, Marinette!" The Kwami exclaimed, tearing open the present. Inside was a batch of cookie dough- Tikki didn't recognize the gift, but was happy anyways. "What is this?"
"Cookie dough!" Marinette answered, handing her a doll spoon. Tikki gingerly took it and scooped it into the dough, savoring the sweetness of the dough.
"Mm, yum." Tikki said, setting aside the dough and grabbing a bouquet of flowers. "Here, Marinette." The bluenette took the arrangement from her Kwami, who was now scooping the dough and plopping it into her mouth.
"Aww, thanks." Marinette smiled, putting the flowers in a vase. She sniffed them for a second, taking in the floral scent.
As Tikki scooped the dough into the spoon, she asked, "Hey, isn't today the party?"
"What party?" Marinette asked, looking at herself in her vanity.
"The Chat Noir and Ladybug Party held by Mayor Bourgeois! Isn't there going to be a Q & A and everything?"
"Oh no!" Marinette said, clutching her hair in frustration. "I completely forgot about that! I need to text Alya that me and Adrien are going to study for the upcoming Ancient Egypt test." The bluenette grabbed her phone and furiously tapped in her password.
[From Marinette, to Alya.]
Hey, Adrien and I have to study for the Ancient Egypt test. :( Can't make it to the party.
[From Alya, to Marinette.]
Aww, okay girl, it's fine! I'll record everything for you, kay?
[To Alya, from Marinette.]
Thx you so much, Alya! You rly are a great friend.
[From Alya, to Marinette.]
Np, girl! Luv ya!
[To Alya, from Marinette.]
K, cya at school!
"Well, I got that handled." Marinette sighed, ushering Tikki into her bag. She grabbed the cupcake box for Adrien, and decided she would give them for patrol tonight.
She headed down her trapdoor and into the living room. Marinette kissed her mother goodbye, and headed out of the door to go to school.
"Okay, do I have everything?" Adrien asked Plagg, who was chomping on cheese, as usual. "Backpack with supplies, check- uh, the sewing kit for Marinette, check- and the-"
Adrien got stopped by the sound of his phone ringing. He picked it up and checked who texted- it was Alya.
[To Adrien, from Alya]
Hey A! Soz you can't make it to the Ladybug and Chat party. You know how Mari is with studying, gud luck!
"Aw, crud, the party!" Adrien exclaimed, running his hand through his hair. He texted Marinette instead.
[From Adrien to Mari]
What do you mean we are studying? Studying for wat?
Adrien frowned as he sent the message to Mari, and she replied almost immediately.
[To Adrien, from Mari]
Y? Did Alya ask about it or something?
[From Adrien to Mari]
Uh, yeah! Hurry up, I need to reply soon ;-; Nathalie is waiting
[To Adrien from Mari]
Okay, gosh! I told her we would be studying Egyp
[From Mari to Adrien]
Egypt*
[To Mari, from Adrien]
K, thx. Bye, luv ya! ^-^ (As a friend, of course)
[From Mari, to Adrien]
Yeah, okay, luv ya too! (As a friend too, XD)
Adrien quickly gave Plagg a block of camembert as a quick little gift, then put him in his gym bag and carried his backpack with Marinette's new sewing kit- just as he stepped into the limo.
He remembered Alya, so he texted back.
[To Alya, from Adrien]
Yeah, wish meh luck- cya at school.
Satisfied with how he replied without being suspicious, he set his phone down in his backpack.
Finally, it was after school. Everyone soon went home, except for the people who had clubs- including Adrien.
Marinette decided to watch Adrien's practice- because that's what supportive friends do, right? She sat down carefully on the bleachers, making sure not to disturb the fencers.
"I am so bored, Tikki." Marinette groaned, putting her hands on her face as she watched Adrien fence. "Why did I agree to do this?"
"Because, it's the one year anniversary of Ladybug and Chat!" Tikki chirped, spooning the cookie dough into her mouth. "And you need to be supportive, whether you're in the masks or not."
"You're right." Marinette said, taking her hands off of her face. "In fact, I'm going to take a selfie with Adrien fencing in the background!" Marinette whipped out her phone, and tilted the phone so it had her face in the camera with Adrien fencing. She snapped a few photos, and deleted most of them until she got the perfect one.
"This is a good photo." Marinette mumbled, going to her Instagram app. She posted the fencing photo with the caption, "Waiting for this weirdo to be done with fencing! #AdrienAgreste #Fencing #Paris"
She tagged Adrien in the photo, then set down her phone to watch the new fencing match.
Adrien dropped his sword in his locker and put down his fencing mask. It took one hour for practice- and fencing wasn't really his thing. Heck, he liked modeling more than fencing!
"Good job, Agreste!" Marinette exclaimed, startling Adrien a bit.
"Ahh!" He shouted, jumping a few inches in the air. "Oh, it's just you." Adrien said, grabbing his gym bag. "What time is the Ladybug and Chat party?"
The two walked out of the school, side by side. "Oh, uh, at six." Marinette informed, checking her phone for proof and showing it to Adrien.
Plagg popped out of the pocket, but only enough so the two teens could see. "Uh, guys, it's 5:30 right now."
"FIVE THIRTY!?" The two teenagers exclaimed, getting weird looks from everyone around them- but they didn't care.
"We better go!" Adrien said, running along with Marinette as she nodded.
The two ran to the bakery fast, and plopped down on the nearest seats in the bakery. Chuckling, Sabine walked over to her daughter and Adrien. "Hi, kids. Want anything?"
"No- no- thanks." Marinette wheezed, putting her hand on her chest.
"Out- of- breath." Adrien sighed, hitting his head down on the desk. "We need to study as well for the Egypt test."
"Oh!" Sabine ushered them upstairs with a snack and their backpacks. "You better get an A!"
"We will!" The two yelled back, Adrien falling down on the lounge couch and Marinette on her bed.
"You two have to transform, it's already five thirty!" Tikki flew over to Marinette, gently shaking her.
"Fine." Marinette grumbled, standing up. "TIKKI, SPOTS ON!"
"PLAGG, CLAWS OUT!"
The pair ran out of the room- and onto the balcony, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, making their way to Le Grand Paris, where the meet and greet/party was located.
"Ooh, this is cool!" Ladybug gasped, looking at the poster with her and Chat. There was a serious one, a smiling picture, a silly face picture, and one of them just laughing their heads off.
"I agree." Chat nodded his head and stared at everyone with Ladybug and Chat merchandise.
The two took in the beautiful scenery for a few moments, before they were interrupted by the Mayor. "Ahh, Ladybug and Chat Noir!" He clasped his hands together and smiled at the two superheroes.
"The Q & A setup is right this way." The grey haired man gestured to a stage with crew all around, bustling with all sorts of equipment and cords.
Ladybug and Chat nodded respectfully, and walked up the stairs where on the stage there was two comfy seats located there with their names engraved on it. "Too cool!" Chat shouted, running over to the chairs and jumping into it.
Ladybug rolled her eyes and sat down gracefully on her chair, looking over at the bottom of the stage where people were starting to fill it up. She could see all of her classmates, Alya being super ecstatic and Chloe snapping a few photos- Alix was arguing with Kim- and Nino was rolling his eyes at Alya who was currently vlogging.
Two crew members came onto the stage and set down two microphones, one for Chat and one for Ladybug.
"So we are going to begin the Q & A!" A crew member explained, waving her hands in the air. "Let's begin! Okay, to ask a question, get in line. Three or two questions at the most, please!"
Most of their classmates were first, in this order:
Alya, Chloe, Sabrina, Nino, Max, Mylene, Ivan, Rose, Juleka, and Nathaniel.
"Oh, uh- Alya, right?" Ladybug asked, playing along- when she really knew it was her best friend.
"Yes, Alya!" The reporter smiled, jumping up and down gleefully. "Okay, so I have three questions. Do you guys have any nicknames for each other?"
"Yes, most of them coming from Chat." Ladybug rolled her eyes, as she began to count inside her brain how many nicknames he gave her.
"Bugaboo, Lady, My Lady, LB- the list goes on and on." Chat smiled at the crowd, who had all sorts of reactions.
"Aww, how sweet!"
"Bluck! What the heck?"
"So sappy, but so cute!"
"Are they dating?"
"Shut up, and let them finish!"
Ladybug grinned at the person who told them to stop, then continued. "I only have two, Kitty and Chaton."
"Okay, cool!" Alya said, pointing the camera to herself. "Now, do you two know each other in civilian life?"
"Yes." The two answered at the same time. "But of course, we aren't going to reveal our identities to others." Ladybug added, getting sour looks from people who wanted to know.
"Aww, okay." Alya sighed in defeat, then perked up because she had one more question. "And are you two dating?"
At that moment, it became so silent, you could hear a pin drop. Chat decided to take this opportunity to fool some people. "There's no exact answer yet- but there's definitely something."
"Yeah." Ladybug joked, playing along- but no one could tell that they were kidding. "It's complicated."
Nathaniel slumped away, leaning into the shadows.
Poor tomato child.
Finally the party was over, and Marinette and Adrien were currently in the bluenette's room, admiring their gifts from everyone.
"Ah, look at this!" Adrien squealed, opening up a pack of Shopkins. "I love these!"
"Uh, okay then.." Marinette rolled her eyes once again and grabbed the cupcakes, remembering them. "Here- my gift for our anniversary."
"Thanks!" Adrien said, pulling out his own gift. "A sewing kit- I know you needed a new one."
He opened the box the same time Marinette opened her bag, and saw a little cupcake section for Plagg. He took that out of the box and set it next to the two Kwamis, who were currently talking about I guess- Kwami life?
"Wow, thanks!" The bluenette looked through the contents of her bag, then watched Adrien happily nom on a cupcake. "Happy anniversary, partner!"
"You too!" The blonde exclaimed, kind of muffled because of the cupcake.
"POUND IT!"
Ahaha, I might continue the Q & A as a one shot or something as a different fanfic- happy one year anniversary, guys! I can't believe my- or our, if it's your favorite show- is finally one year old!
Anyways, I took so long on this chapter, that's why it's so late.
But still, more than 2,000 words! I'm so happy.
I think I am going to make a little cupcake or something to eat as a present for myself.
Bai!
