"Did you capture the akuma?" Asked Tikki. Marinette freaked out. How could she have forgotten such a crucial component. She wasn't cut out for being a hero.

"I can't do this! You'll need to find a new Ladybug!" She yelled. "I'm done." She took out her earrings and Tikki vanished. "Tikki? I'm sorry." She tucked the earrings into their box and stuffed them in a drawer. Meanwhile Hawkmoth was just waiting for the moment Ivan would slip up. All he needed was one negative emotion and all the stone monsters would come to life creating chaos and forcing the heroes to come out of hiding. His plan was going perfectly.

The Next Morning:

Marinette had just woken up from a restless night. She was tired and full of thoughts from the day before. Who would save Paris when she was gone? Chat couldn't do it alone so there was no hope.

"Don't worry buttercup," Tom was saying. "You don't need to be afraid. Ladybug and Chat Noir Will save us," he encouraged. This just made Marinette feel worse.

"But what if Ladybug fails?" She asked.

"Then I'd come and save you! Super baker to the rescue," he yelled. His confidence gave Marinette hope. Maybe anyone really could be a hero. Marinette hugged her father and started her walk to school but before she left she grabbed her earrings. Just in case. When she saw Alya she was beaming. She had posted her video of Ladybug and it had gone viral. Alya believed in Ladybug so maybe Marinette should too. Marinette then noticed people gathered around Ivan. Everyone was teasing him. Especially Chloe. He stormed off in anger and Marinette knew this wasn't good. She followed close behind. She saw him sitting alone in the locker room. She came over to comfort him,

"Ivan you need to stay positive. Mylene would be lucky to have you. You should go talk to her," she said. He smiled.

"I could write her a song?" He asked.

"Of course! What girl wouldn't want a love song written in their honor? Go for it and remember to stay positive!" She yelled. He nodded and ran off happily. She did a job well done. This hero thing wasn't as hard as she thought. She then went to class. Little did she know that something terrible was about to happen. Mylene had been in the girl's room and was about to be late so she was about to rush to class when she ran into Ivan.

"Oh Ivan you scared me," she said. He then presented her with his song. Sadly it had a somewhat different effect on her than he thought. She was terrified and ran away. He was left in a state of shock and misery. It was perfect for Hawkmoth's akuma. Ivan was once again transformed into Stone Heart and all his rock monsters came alive at once. The people of Paris were in horror and shock when the pack of giant rock monsters began to roam the streets looking for their victims. Meanwhile back at school Ivan stormed into the classroom kidnapping Chloe and Mylene. He wanted Mylene to be with him forever and he was just super annoyed at how bossy Chloe was. Adrien ran to his locker to transform and Marinette was left chasing Alya to give her the miraculous. She thought Alya would make a way better Ladybug but when Marinette arrived to the scene Alya was trapped behind a truck and Chat Noir was captured. Her only choice would be to fight. She reluctantly put back on her earrings and transformed. Tikki was glad to see her master but Marinette was kinda iffy about the whole saving Paris thing. What if she messed up again? What would she do then? She had no choice so she suited up and freed Alya. Then she went after Chat. She flipped into the air and sped off in search of Stone Heart and his army. When they were located she would find Chat and free him. That was the only plan she got and it was pretty sucky but she couldn't think under pressure. Great quality of a superhero right? When she arrived Chat was clutched in a monster's fist. She threw him his pole and he separated the hand long enough to escape. Ladybug caught him with her yo-yo and held with upside down.

"M'lady have I ever told you you turn my world upside down?" He asked. This was his first but definitely not his last pun.

"Oh you're quite the jokester," she smiled. Suddenly they heard one of the monsters yelling at them. He was about to charge. Ladybug released Chat and they spun into action. She led him to the Eiffel Tower where the original Stone Heart was waiting. The army was already waiting there. The mayor demanded his daughter's return and Stone Heart happily obliged. He launched Chloe into the air to her death. She screamed.

"please let me be ok! I promise to be nice to everyone and say please and thank..." She was cut short seconds before she hit the ground. Ladybug had caught her. "I didn't promise," she said when she wasn't safely on the ground.

"Huh?" Ladybug asked. No one had heard Chloe but herself. Ladybug didn't have time to dwell on it. She needed to save Paris and Mylene. Chat was close behind her and ready to fight. Before they fought the police stopped them.

"we can handle this. You already failed once," said the chief of police. Marinette knew he was right. She turned to Chat. He looked shocked but when he saw her looking so disappointed his face fell.

"You know he's right. If I had done my job right the first time then none of this would have happened. I knew I wasn't the right person for this," she said sorrowfully. Chat grabbed her shoulder.

"That's not true. Without you that girl wouldn't be here and without us none of them will be. We just have to prove it to them," said Chat. He stared longingly into her eyes. He thought she was amazing and perfect. He had faith and his faith inspired her. She nodded and regained her strength just in time to see hundreds of thousands of butterflies gagged out of Stone Heart's throat. They formed a floating head shaped like Hawkmoth. He announced himself and told all of Paris his plan to defeat the heroes. Ladybug had had enough.

"Nice try Hawkmoth but we know who the bad guy is. Let's not try to reverse the roles here. Without you none of these innocent victims would be transformed in the first place. Hawkmoth no matter how long it takes we will find you and you will hand us your miraculous!" She screamed while running toward the tower. Chat watched in admiration as she captured the akuma and freed the citizens from Hawkmoth's grasp. Everyone watched in awe. Their mouth's were hung open as she displayed her phenomenal power. She then turned to face the crowd and said, "let me make this promise to you. No matter who wants to harm you Ladybug and Chat Noir will do everything in our power to keep you safe." Then as the crowd roared with cheers she realeased every single white butterfly into the sky. Chat decided right then and there that Ladybug was his destiny and Hawkmoth yelled in anger over his failed plot. He ordered Stone Heart to continue with the plan and he started to climb the tower. Ladybug and Chat were following with the promise of victory hanging on their shoulders. She conjured up a parachute with her lucky charm and devised a plan. Chat gladly let her lead. She pulled Mylene and Stone Heart closer together and had them kiss. The monster dropped Mylene in surprise and caught her without a moment to spare but he dropped the paper. Chat leaped down the tower and launched the crumbled paper up to Ladybug who destroyed it on the spot. Breaking the paper made Mylene and Ivan fall down the tower. She looked towards the butterfly getting away and made her choice. She hopped down the tower behind them. Chat used his cataclysm to break the tower and rescue Ivan while Ladybug saved Mylene. She grabbed her and then flung her yo-yo into the air to capture the Akuma and de-evilise it. "Bye bye little butterfly," she said. Ivan was safely brought to the ground and Paris was restored back to normal. Beautiful pink lights flew around the town restoring it. Hawkmoth raged in anger and detransformed. Ladybug connected Mylene with Ivan and showed her his song lyrics. She loved them and Ivan beamed. Everything was right with the world again. Marinette realized Paris was way more exciting than America would ever be. She loved her new home and her new identity. Moving wasn't such a bad idea after all and neither was being a hero. Paris needed her and she intended to keep her promise and protect Paris as Ladybug. Her new life was finally looking up. Ladybug sighed. "Awww they're made for eachother," she said seeing Ivan and Mylene hugging.

"Just like us," said Chat. Marinette was shocked. She had a boyfriend! Chat's ring began to beep and she quickly pushed him away. She was excited to be friends and partner's but nothing more.

"See ya soon Chat Noir," She said leaping away. He watched her leave.

"Can't wait m'lady," he said to himself. The day had been saved and it was time to rest and process the day. Someday soon Paris would need them again and then he'd see her. When Marinette returned home her victory was all over the news once again. Alya appeared simultaneously and gushed about all that had happened and how amazingly Ladybug was. It gave Marinette a secret ego boost and made her more confident. She knew she could do it with the help of Chat and all the people of Paris.
