A/N: Heyo, guys! I now have a goal: I want to finish this fanfic before Season two comes out. I have now decided that I will do Season two, so when the transcript comes out on Miraculous Wiki, I will write them.
I don't own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir. I wish I did, though.
"HELP!" Marinette pleaded, running away from Stormy Weather who had her signature parasol in her hand. She was cornered, for Lady Wifi was at Stormy Weather's side, cellphone in hand.
Using her parasol, Stormy Weather blasted ice to trap the bluenette while Lady Wifi put a pink pause button on her with her phone. The two grinned, and high-fived each other in triumph.
All was lost, until Super Nathan arrived.
Super Nathan was really Nathaniel, a shy, meek drawer who always sat in the back of the class. He had his bangs always covering his eyes, and never rose his hand. But he looked different today.
His hair was up, for once. He had purplish skin, which was weird, but it was his choice as a "superhero." He had a striped tee shirt, with a paint holder in the center, and a tablet with a drawing pencil.
Using his tablet, he erased Stormy Weather's parasol and Lady Wifi's phone, and tied them up with rope. He locked them in a no window cage, so they couldn't see or harm Marinette anymore.
He then erased the block of ice, and the pink pause button. "Oh, Super Nathan, thank you!" Marinette ran over to the superhero, who grinned, and wrapped her up in his arms.
"It was nothing." He assured her, smiling.
"I love you!" Marinette buried her head into his chest, and he hugged her tightly.
"I love you too, Marinette."
"NATHANIEL!" The red head looked up, revealing his fantasies were a dream.
"Uh, yes?"
"Did you not hear me?!" The science teacher, Madame Mendeleiev questioned, rolling her eyes. "Your partners for this project are Marinette and Adrien Agreste."
Nathaniel nodded and covered up his drawing pad with his arm. "These silly drawings of yours are clearly why you're failing science." Madame Mendeleiev snatched the drawing pad away, then dropped it back into Nathaniel's arms. "Go to the Headmaster's office!"
Nathaniel slumped out of his seat, only to be tripped by Chloe who smiled evilly and picked up the drawing pad. "Oh my gosh!" The blonde kept back her laughter, until she showed Sabrina who giggled. "Nathaniel has a crush! On Marinette!"
Sabrina took the drawing pad from Chloe, and tried to hand it to Marinette while Chloe said, "Marinette, he totally has a crush on you!"
The bluenette got a glimpse of the drawing and looked away, embarrassed while Adrien could feel his blood boil at the sight of the drawing. "Snap out of it, Adrien!" Adrien told himself, shaking his head. "Marinette is your friend!"
"Give it back!" Nathaniel commanded, lunging at the notepad when he finally got a hold of it.
"Nathaniel, go to the office already!"
"That was a pretty good drawing Mari, you've got to admit it." Alya said, elbowing her best friend. "C'mon, Mari, you can't be ashamed of this! Now you know that your future is not helpless, and you can always go to Nathaniel for support!"
"Shut up, Alya!" Marinette rolled her eyes, shoving her best friend playfully. "I'm just going to pretend it never happened."
"Okay girl, but I thought I saw that Adrien was jealous." Alya teased, then paused for a moment while they both kept walking. "Oh my gosh! It's a love triangle!"
"No, it's not!"
"But blondie's totally got a crush on you!" Alya said, poking Marinette in the ribs. "He got jealous, didn't you see?"
"We're just friends!" The bluenette informed the scarlet haired girl, as the two turned the corner. "Besides, I better catch up with him before he messes up on our project. I'm going to be in the library, okay?"
"Yeah, okay." Alya said, walking in the other direction not near the library.
"Artists really can be so... Emotional.." Hawkmoth said aloud to nobody in particular. "Butterfly, come to papa!"
A milky white bug flew to the palm of his hand, and the super-villain turned it blackish-purple with as wave of his hand. "Go, and draw him into our evil little web!" Hawkmoth commanded.
"Wow, I am so good at jokes!" Hawkmoth bragged to nobody, but the butterflies who flapped their wings in response.
Nathaniel paced back and forth, back and forth in front of the Principal's office. "What am I going to explain to mom?" He asked himself, dropping his pencil on accident, when the butterfly came in and seeped through all that wood, turning it a purple color.
"Ugh, I can't believe Chloe embarrassed me in front of Marinette! That's even worse than getting in trouble by mom." Nathaniel muttered, only kneeling down to pick up the infected pencil, where he suddenly looked up.
"Hello, Evillustrator.." Hawkmoth said in a calm, soothing voice, putting Nathaniel at ease. "You can get revenge on this Chloe, but you'll need to grab something from Ladybug and Chat Noir.. Do we have a deal?"
"Yes."
As soon as the artist stood up, he was replaced with the superhero from his fantasies.
"Is Nathaniel done with the Principal's office yet?" Adrien asked, rolling his eyes, as Marinette picked up a library book from the pile. "Really. It's just a pop in, and a pop out."
"I'm sure he's almost finished." Marinette assured him, patting him on the back teasingly.
"Whatever." Adrien said, rolling his eyes as Marinette picked up a book and shoved it towards him. "OW!" He exclaimed, setting down the book. "What was that for?"
"Look over there!" Marinette whispered violently, pointing to where Sabrina and Chloe were located. "Chloe is being chased by that hairdryer!"
"Yeah, right." Adrien whispered back as Marinette turned his head to face Chloe and Sabrina.
It sounded like it was a lie, but it was true. Chloe was really being chased by a hairdryer. Weird.
"OH MY GOSH!" Chloe screamed, running around the library. "MY HAIR!"
The hairdryer continued to chase the blonde around, as she pleaded, "STOP, PLEASE STOP!"
"Good, good good." Hawkmoth praised his new akuma, who smiled. "Now, Ladybug and Chat Noir should show up soon, so keep doing that!"
The Evillustrator said nothing in reply and made the hairdryer's setting go on high.
"MY HAIR! MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!" Chloe tried to pat her hair down, but it just went in a frenzy going all around.
On the other side of the library, Adrien and Marinette were watching. On Adrien's face, there was a grin, but on Marinette's face there was an annoyed look. She would have to save Chloe.
Adrien, on the other hand would rather be saving someone then doing classwork.
"Time to transform!" The two whispered in unison.
"Tikki, spots on!"
"Plagg, claws out!"
"No, stop!" Chloe shouted, backing away from the hairdryer as her best friend watched in horror.
"Run and hide!" Ladybug commanded, as Chloe nodded and hid behind a bookcase.
The superhero jumped on the hairdryer with Chat Noir, who snickered, "Hello, bugaboo, need help?"
"Ugh, another nickname?!" Ladybug groaned, slapping her forehead. "Less chit-chat, more action!"
The two looked around for an off switch, until the hairdryer disappeared.
"Over there!" Chat Noir gasped, pointing at the Evillustrator who realized he was caught. "He looks a bit sketchy.. We should go after him!" He was cut off by Ladybug running towards the akuma.
"I was one step ahead of you!" Ladybug laughed, but the two of them was caught in a dead-end.
The Evillustrator drew a wall to stop them.
"Where did he go?" Ladybug questioned, looking around, inspecting the library.
"I don't know, but he sure has a way of illustrating his point." Chat Noir said, elbowing Ladybug in the stomach.
"Ugh."
"Seems like this kid is targeting you particularly." Chat Noir pointed out, leaning against a wall next to Ladybug. "Does anyone dislike you or anything?"
"No!" Chloe said, sticking her nose in the air. "Everybody adores me!"
"Yeah, because you're soooo adorable." Ladybug said, rolling her eyes.
"Oh my LORD!" Chloe gasped, whipping out her phone. "Ladybug just called ME adorable!"
The blonde failed to see the eyes that previously rolled by Ladybug.
"I totally need a picture of us two together!" Chloe quickly snapped a photo of the two of them, while Chat Noir had to hold back his laughter.
"Ugh, that was unpleasant." Ladybug said, burying her head in her hand.
"Totally!" Chloe agreed, showing Ladybug the photo. "I look perfect, of course, but your smile is all wonky and weird! You know what, I'll take another one!"
The blonde snapped another photo, annoying Ladybug.
"Sorry, I'm just a little camera shy." Ladybug apologized, and Chloe nodded, understanding.
"Oh just wait, Ladybug! I have to go get my butler to take a picture of us together!" The blonde ran off, leaving Chat Noir and Ladybug
"Looks like someone has a superfan!" Chat sang, and Ladybug slapped his shoulder.
"Yeah, that's so great." Ladybug drawled.
"So what's the deal? Why are you acting so weird? Come on, you gotta admit that having this girl worship you is pretty awesome." Chat Noir replied, putting an arm around Ladybug.
Ladybug nodded, and looked over at the table where she saw the ripped out drawing of Marinette and the Evillustrator. Her, as her civilian form was ruined, annoying her as she pushed away Chat's arm.
(A/N: Chat, I love you, but REJECTED LOL)
"Whatever. I'm over this." Ladybug whipped out her yoyo, as Chat followed her to the balcony. "Later."
"But what about Chloe-"
"You can take care of her, can't you?" Ladybug asked bitterly, and her warm bright blue eyes were icy and dull. "I'm out."
"Wait, Ladybug!" Chloe called, running to the balcony as Ladybug swung away. "CALL ME!"
Ladybug landed on her own balcony, and as she retransformed into Marinette, she climbed down her ladder and slammed her trapdoor. "Uh, hey!" Tikki exclaimed, as the bluenette threw her purse angrily on her bed.
"Sorry, Tikki, but Chloe..." Marinette paused, stomping her foot down on the ground. "She just fires up this little red bug!"
"Well, you better simmer down." Tikki warned, flying over to the bluenette. "A hot head isn't going to get you anywhere."
"Right." Marinette agreed, lying down on her bed. "Oh no, now I feel bad for abandoning Adrien."
Suddenly, Tikki saw someone trying to get in. Quickly, the kwami flew into Marinette's purse as the Evillustrator erased the window. "Hey!" Marinette gasped, backing away when she realized who it was.
"Sorry, Marinette." The Evillustrator apologized, as Marinette raised an eyebrow.
"Uh.. It's okay.. But why did you attack Chloe?"
"Because she's mean. And she deserved it. She's nothing like you; who's beautiful, selfless, and thoughtful.."
"Oh, thanks. So, what are you here for?"
"Well, I wanted to ask.. If you wanted to come to my birthday party. Tonight. At six."
"Well, um, actually.." Marinette grinned cheekily, rubbing the back of her neck. "I have to do a project with my friend Adrien, and Nathaniel, and-"
"Please, it will just be me and you!"
The akuma quickly drew an invitation with Marinette on the cover.
"Oh my gosh.." Marinette gasped, inspecting the piece of paper. "That's me!"
"Do you like it?"
"Totally!" Marinette gushed, smiling up at the akuma. "I will come! On one condition."
"Anything for you, Marinette." The Evillustrator said, ready to hear the condition that the bluenette was going to throw at him.
"You can't harm anyone."
"Deal. Remember to meet me at the Seine, I have a very good surprise for you." He promised, winking at Marinette which made her surprised. Usually, Nathaniel was a very shy kid, and never did anything that... Daring..
But in a blink of an eye, he was gone.
"Ugh, what am I going to do about my project?!" Chloe asked herself, looking around her room for anything, anything to help her with this stupid science project. "Hey, Chat Noir?"
"Yes?"
"Are you any good at science?" The blonde questioned, hiding the folder behind her back.
"Totally!" Chat bragged, showing his muscles. "I am so smart!"
"Great!" Chloe replied, shoving the folder with all of the project work in it. "I need you to finish my project- make it purr-fect." She laughed, causing Chat Noir to look up at her in confusion. "See what I did there? I made a cat joke. I can be funny."
"Yeah, hilarious." Chat Noir said, rolling his eyes.
He was about to start on the particle physics game, but then his staff rang. "Ladybug, you can't just start to make cat calls when you run off!" He started, but then was cut off by his partner.
"Sorry, Chat. But someone just came to my room- can you guess who?"
"Who?"
"The Evillustrator. Our new akuma. He came to my room, and invited me to his birthday party. He kind of implied it was- a date?" Marinette tapped her foot on the floor and waited for Chat's response.
"Okay. I'll be there." Chat responded, finally. He hung up, put his staff back in his belt, and handed the folder back to an annoyed Chloe. "Here, I have some important work to do."
He went out by the balcony, and Chloe followed him there. "What's more important than my PROJECT?!" The blonde screeched, clearly annoyed. "Ugh, whatever. I don't need them, I can do particle physics myself!"
Marinette waited. And she waited. And she waited for Chat Noir to come, until there was a knock on the trapdoor. "Coming!" Marinette yelled, opening up the trapdoor as Chat Noir came in.
"Oh, hello Marinette." Chat Noir greeted, ruffling her hair as she shoved him away.
"We need to talk about the plan. What am I going to do?" Marinette said, as Chat Noir sat down on her spinny chair, and spun around and around. "Um, hello? Are you here?"
"Oh, right." Chat Noir said, finally paying attention. "So, anyways, I need you just to play along with all of this love-dovey-ness, and then I'll come and save you. Then, we can just wing it."
"Wing it?!" Marinette asked, punching him in the shoulder. "We need a real plan!"
"Sorry Mari, but I mean, we can't really track his intentions..." Chat Noir explained, patting her on the back. "It's not like we can read minds, or anything, right?"
"Right." Marinette huffed, crossing her arms, as she checked the clock on her computer. "Oh crud, I better meet him at the Seine! Be sure to be there like, fifteen minutes after six. I better get going."
She got up, and walked out of her door, Chat Noir following since her mother and father were at the bakery currently.
"Okay. What time do you need to be there?" Marinette questioned, and Chat Noir rubbed the back of his neck.
"Six... Fifteen!"
"Right!" Marinette praised, then she raised her index finger. "Make sure to be there."
"That's a very.. Nice drawing, but you better pay attention, and get the goods. Or else." Hawkmoth threatened, and the Evillustrator nodded.
"But I just want Marinette to love me."
"And I want the Miraculous!"
Using his powers, Hawkmoth paralyzed his hand for a second, before Hawkmoth let go. "Got it?"
"Okay, okay, I will." The Evillustrator drew a few more details on his pad.
He was about to make it official and real, but Marinette arrived, startling him. "Happy birthday!" She greeted, waving her hand cutely. "Thank you again for inviting me."
"No problem." The Evillustrator got up, and waved back. "Um, thanks for accepting it."
"Wow. It's so beautiful." Marinette said, looking up at what the birthday boy made.
"Oh, you like it?" The Evillustrator asked, blushing. "Thanks. Well, don't worry, because it's just getting started."
He picked up his fancy pen, getting ready to draw something, before dark clouds came and blocked his view. "Darn it!" He shouted into the void, scaring Marinette. "Sorry. I just don't draw very well in the dark."
"Hmm.." Marinette noted, as the Evillustrator drew a new moon, which reflected in the river.
"Voila!" He exclaimed, as a boat came up and stopped at the dock. "Hop in!"
After the two were safely secure in the boat, the Evillustrator started to play some soft music on his tablet, and Marinette noticed Chat coming closer, and closer to the Seine.
She scooted closer so he didn't suspect anything. "Why would you use your power to hurt people? You're so talented, and you could use those talents for good, I guess."
"Well, I don't hurt all people. Just Chloe. Like I said, you're way better than her. And I won't do it again. You were true to your promise, so I'll be true to mine."
"Well, actually, I draw a bit too.. Can I draw you something for your birthday?" Marinette asked, as Chat Noir jumped quietly on the boat, as the music stopped, and the Evillustrator looked her directly in the eyes.
"Sure."
Marinette started to grab the pencil, and as she took it away from him, the Evillustrator noticed Chat Noir. "Marinette, give me back my pencil, I need to draw something!" He commanded, grabbing back at it.
"No.. I'm keeping it!" She exclaimed, hiding it behind her back. "Chat Noir, now!"
Chat Noir plopped his staff down in between them, as he slid down it and made his way in front of Marinette. "Sorry, but it's my turn with Marinette."
"Marinette.. You're working with him?" The Evillustrator asked, as a hurt look on his face turned into a bitter one. "I should have known. You're just like Chloe!"
"I'm not like Chloe!" Marinette exclaimed, rolling her eyes.
The Evillustrator kicked Chat Noir's staff, and it hits Marinette, dropping the pencil, as the Evillustrator picked it up and drew a cube trapping the two of them. "See ya later, I'm going to give Chloe the worst time of her life!"
He drew a hole in the boat, and it started to sink as the Evillustrator escaped away into the night.
"What are we going to do?!" Chat asked, slapping his forehead.
"Well, extend your staff like this!" Marinette said, grabbing his staff and raising it up.
"Great thinking!" Chat Noir praised, grabbing her waist as the two of them escaped and landed safely on the docks. "Okay, now you need to transform! And fast, Chloe could be in serious danger!"
"Okay." Marinette said, as Tikki flew out of her purse. "Tikki, SPOTS ON!"
"Oh, I couldn't do my assignment, because... Uh.. My hair was done horribly!" Chloe faked cried to the mirror, as her expression suddenly became serious. "Oh please, who the heck is going to believe that?"
The door leading to the balcony rumbled, and the blonde jumped as she inched out of the bathroom and towards the door. "Ladybug? Chat Noir? Is that you guys?" She whispered, until she realized who she saw.
The Evillustrator. The one who attacked her in the library.
She gasped and hid under the table, as the Evillustrator walked in, with no permission. "Chloe? Are you hiding? Oh, that's so cute." He said in a mock voice, making Chloe silent.
He started to erase the things in the closet, until he got to the table which had Chloe under it. "Found you." He smirked, making her under lip quiver.
"You- you monster! My Chanel dresses, my Todelan heels! You are terrible."
"You like to walk all over people, Chloe." The Evillustrator drew a heel, which chased Chloe around. "But you don't like it when others trample you, DON'T YOU, CHLOE!?"
Suddenly, Ladybug and Chat appeared, making Chloe relieved, as Chat Noir tripped the Evillustrator and Ladybug broke the heel of the shoe. "Oops, broke your heel, better watch your ankles!" She taunted, high-fiving Chat Noir.
"In the comics, this is what's known as the final showdown." The Evillustrator noted, pausing as he faced the two superheroes. "The thing is, if you knew her, you wouldn't be breaking a sweat to save her skin! She's the real baddie!"
"Oh, it's not true!" Chloe cried. "Everybody loves me!"
"Yeah, because you are SO lovable." Ladybug rolled her eyes once again, making Chloe squeal. ("OMG, Ladybug just called ME lovable and ADORABLE in one day! My life is SO perfect!")
Suddenly, without warning, the Evillustrator drew three boxing gloves, one for each person, as they all charged towards their own respective people.
Ladybug dodged her own boxing glove, then in a nick of time, she used her yoyo to break Chloe's quickly, as the Evillustrator drew a wall to protect himself. After making his comfort zone, he drew a chainsaw for Chloe, but Chat Noir stops it, with his boomerang staff.
His staff has three properties: Cataclysm, boomerang, and nun chuck. Nun chuck mode is kind of ridiculous, but it comes in handy. To activate nun chuck mode, he just breaks the staff into halves.
He threw one at a light the Evillustrator was near, and the akuma just walked closer near a lit light. That sparked something that Ladybug just remembered. "Chat, he can't draw in the dark!" She informed her partner, who nodded.
"Got it!" He replied, raised his claw into the air. "Cataclysm!"
He pressed his claw against a nearby light switch, but it was already erased by the Evillustrator. "Here, kitty!" The Evillustrator taunted, drawing a heavy ball and chain to weigh him down. "Here's a little toy to play with!"
"Hey!"
"Sadly, those who get in my way soon get erased." The Evillustrator began to erase the floor Chat Noir was underneath, making him cling onto the remains of the floor.
He really does have bad luck, cause his Miraculous started to beep.
"No, no, no!" He exclaimed, closing his eyes as he waited to fall.
It wouldn't matter anyways.
They would know his identity. Except for Ladybug. She already knew.
"LUCKY CHARM!" Ladybug threw her yoyo up into the air, and before she knew it, a bouncy ball flew into her hand. "A bouncing ball? What?" She asked herself, looking around as her vision gave her help.
"You can't stop me!" The Evillustrator sniggered, flipping his hair. "It's just a stupid bouncy ball!"
"Uh, just watch me stop you." Ladybug nonchalantly replied, throw the ball at the lamps, making everything dark. She grabbed the Evillustrator's pencil, which he dropped on accident, and broke it.
The black butterfly flew out of it, and before it could escape and multiply, she whipped out her yoyo. "No more evil doing for you anymore, little akuma." She threw it up in a spiral, yelling, "TIME TO DE-EVIL-ISE!"
She caught it flawlessly, and held the yoyo in her hand. "Gotcha!"
Lastly, she pressed the cover of the yoyo gently, releasing the black bug. "Bye bye, little butterfly." She quickly grabbed the lucky charm before Chat Noir fell and injured himself.
"MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!"
Like always, her little bug workers appeared and everything that was destroyed was back to normal.
"Ladybug?" The Evillustrator was replaced by Nathaniel, who was confused. "What happened?"
"No time to explain." She smiled, grabbing Chat's wrist. "We gotta go."
It was Thursday, and tomorrow was Friday. After a long day of hard working, Marinette's parents allowed a small sleepover with Nino, Alya, and Adrien, and of course, for once, Gabriel agreed.
"Okay, did you hear what happened at the newest akuma attack?" Alya asked, leaning against Marinette's bed. "Well, you should know, Marinette, weren't you involved with him? I mean, the Evillustrator?"
"The Bubbler is way better than the Evillustrator." Nino scoffed, picking up a macaron. "His name just sounds- well, stupid!"
"Well, Lady Wifi defeats them all." Alya smiled, shoving Nino. "Anyways Marinette, what went down?"
"Well, um, he kind of invited me to his birthday party, Chat Noir showed up, we were trapped in a box, and then we were free and I went back home!" She lied, crossing her fingers behind her back.
"Yeah, okay." Alya said, taking a sip of her drink. "Adrien, why are you so quiet?'
"Well, uh-" Adrien started, smiling awkwardly as he picked up a piece of cake. "I was just wondering if we should get Nathaniel a birthday cake tomorrow! You know, since nobody really celebrated it and stuff..."
"Yeah, I'm cool with that!" Nino exclaimed, fist bumping Adrien as Alya seconded that and Marinette nodded.
Tomorrow, they were to give him the best cake ever.
Nathaniel walked to his desk the next day feeling embarrassed. And weak. He couldn't believe he did all of that stuff to Marinette, and Chloe! Sure, she was mean at times, but he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.
He sighed. His birthday was alright. He had a mini birthday party with his family, and that akuma attack was never mentioned of.
"Oh, hey Nathaniel!" A group of people greeted him, and the red head looked up to see who it was.
Alya, Nino, Marinette, and Adrien. Basically: Reporter girl, slacker kid, crush, and rich model person.
"Oh, hey, uh, guys. I just wanted to say Marinette- sorry, about everything-"
"No, it's fine!" Marinette smiled, showing off all of her teeth. "In fact, you didn't know what happened. Nobody knows what they did during an akuma attack. It's like a dream. It comes, and it goes."
"I guess you're right." Nathaniel nodded, as Alya pushed a small box under his nose.
"Happy birthday. Me and Marinette-"
"It's Marinette and I, Alya." Marinette corrected, crossing her arms.
"Marinette and I made the cake, and Nino and Adrien made a card." Alya glared at her BFF, who kicked her in the shin. "I hope you enjoy."
The four left, and Marinette looked over her shoulder to see Nathaniel's reaction from her seat. She didn't notice a certain blonde was watching her watch the red head.
For some reason, and everyone could tell, jealousy was written all over his face.
A/N: MY LORD IT'S FINALLY OVER YAS YAS YAS!
Next episode: Horrificator. I fluffing hate Rogercop, so I'll probably do that later.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this! I now have NO idea when the two of them are going to get together, by the way, someone asked, and uh, I previously did a poll, but that was a long time ago, and there weren't many voters, so I'm going to do another poll of when you want them to get together, Dark Cupid or Volpina.
Thanks for all of the help on writing, it's really useful! I love you guys!
