Episode 6:
The next day, it was monday. I came to school with a small and happy smile on my face. When i entered class i noticed Adrien looked down and sad. I was a bit worried so i asked: "Adrien, is everything okay?" He raised his head and offered me a small smile. "Yeah, it's fine…" he said looking away. "Dude, you're obviously not okay. You've been distracted and sad the whole morning." Nino said looking as worried as me. "I'm fine it's just… I think i'm losing the girl…" Adrien said trying to stay cool. I suddenly saw Marinette's head rise and her eyes brighten a little. We didn't have time to talk more because class was starting and i had to go to my seat. I smiled brightly at Nathaniel and he noticed i seemed happy today. All day i couldn't help but be excited for tonight. All day, i listened to Marinette be excited to get her Adrien back, to Alya blab about Ladybug, to Adrien be sad and to Chloe being well, herself. When i finally arrived home i went straight to my balcony. I was a bit sad that no one was there for me but i waited. After diner, i went back to my balcony and, after an hour, Cat noir came. "Waiting for me?" he said with a confident grin. Suddenly, my smile faded away. I lost myself and i realised i didn't want to see him, i wanted to see Turtle shell. Cat noir realised i stopped smiling and that i looked weird. "A-Are you okay?" he asked worried. I looked down and said "I'm sorry…" He didn't seem to understand why i was like this but he still said: "Hey, i thought about what you said yesterday and i realised you were right. I should've asked you to be my girlfriend before." so he came closer to me and took my hand. "Miriane, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked with a serious and kind look on his face. At that moment, i couldn't say it. I didn't want to break his heart as much as i couldn't be his girlfriend. I did love him but not like that. My feelings for him had disappeared and my love wasn't enough to be with him. "Cat noir… I can't." i said putting my hand in front of my eyes. I had tears in my eyes and it broke my heart to tell him this. I didn't love him enough. I tried to explain but Cat noir turned around and said: "It's okay. I get it. I won't bother you anymore." he said. "Cat noir no… I can't i just… I don't want to play with your feelings. I do love you but not enough." i said trying to make it up to him. "I understand. I'll always be there for you and protect you. Just remember that." he said with a small and reassuring smile. So before he took off i said: "Cat noir! You can still come visit me if you want. I'll always be your friend." i said kindly. He smiled and took off into the night. I sat down on my balcony for a few minutes when Turtle shell appeared. He looked bothered but happy to see me. When he appeared my eyes brightened and a smile took place. "I wasn't really sure if i should come because i saw Cat noir but i decided to come anyway." he said a bit shy rubbing the back of his neck. I smiled and said: "Yeah… We don't really have a relationship anymore. But i told him he could still visit me and that i was still his friend." Turtle shell smiled. "You're so kind. It's sickening." he said smiling. I laughed and stood up. "You don't look sick to me." i said with a teasing grin. He smiled back and said: "What if i'm mentally sick?" he said smiling confidently. I asked what type and he said "Crazy for you" and i turned red. He was close to me and he also turned red. So i started laughing and we laughed together. After 1 or 2 minutes of laughing we were laughing looking in each other's eyes. When he stopped laughing he looked at me who still laughed a little. He was looking at me with those love and kind eyes. The way Cat noir looked at Ladybug sometimes. I think that's part of why i didn't want to do this. We stared at each other for a while. His cheeks were a bit red and, when i realised he was staring at me with in love eyes, i blushed and looked away with a small smile. That was what i wanted for a while but maybe not now. "So… What's new with you?" i asked to break the silence. He looked a bit surprised but he smiled and said: "Well, not much. School and all that stuff... " he said. There was not much to say so i told him about what happened with Cat noir. He nodded and then smiled. "You're so kind. It's incredible… Well at least you ended up on good terms. He's probably sad at the moment but he'll get better don't worry." he said smiling kindly. I smiled back and said: "You're probably right… I just wish there was something i could do. Something to comfort him." Turtle shell didn't really know what to say. It was kind of obvious i still loved Cat noir but i did like Turtle shell. Then he said: "Well i'd love to stay but i've gotta get back to my place before my folks notice i'm out. But i'll come back tomorrow?" he said hopeful. "I'd love that! I'll be waiting for you." i said blushing. Turtle shell hesitated but he brought me closer and kissed me. We kissed for a few minutes until he pulled back and said: "Oh, it's running late. Bye!" and he took off. My face was burning red and my eyes were still big. Honestly, it was heavenly but i wasn't sure of what exactly happened. The next day, when i came in class, i had a happy and dreaming smile. I was on a cloud this morning. Someone delivered a rose to my house with a note that said: «I love you to the moon and back. -Your turtle❤️» When i came in Alya said: "Wow, Miriane. You look happy today." with a teasing smile. "Yeah, you look like you got good news or something." Nino added. "Yeah, something like that." i said with a wild and mysterious smile. So i went to my seat and, while i was climbing the stairs, i heard Alya say: "Well at least we have Miss sunshine today. It should compense for Mr grey clouds." she said pointing Adrien. He did look sad but maybe less than yesterday. The day went on with me smiling at nothing and Adrien being sad at nothing. Before the last class, i decided to go talk to Adrien before he entered and everyone could see his red eyes and sad face. "It's fine. I just… I'm not with the girl anymore." he said sadly. "Oh no! That's terrible. I'm really sorry." i said. "Don't be." he said and entered the class. I didn't know why but i feel like i just made things worst. I tried ignoring it but it kind of bothered me. Why was Adrien like this. He talked about the girl for only 1 or 2 weeks and now he was sad like someone died. When i got home, i went straight to my balcony and, after a few minutes, Turtle shell jumped on my balcony. "Hey beautiful! Got my flower?" he said smiling confidently. I giggled and said smiling and blushing: "Yep, i did, you have no idea how much my brothers and sister were teasing me about it." He smiled satisfied and looked into my eyes the same way he did yesterday. "So… I think we have some… things to talk about." i said teasingly. Suddenly he froze and blushed. "Uh… About that i…" he blabbed becoming redder and redder. So i started laughing again and he joined. I had so much fun with him. He always cheered me up and made me forget about my problems. So when we were almost done laughing and we stopped being fold in two by the laughing, we were giggling with tears in our eyes and, suddenly, he pulled me into a hug. "I'm so glad i have you" he whispered in my ear. I hugged him back with a smile and my cheeks a bit red. When he pulled back, he had one arm around my waist and another arm at the back of my neck. He looked into my eyes with that love look he always gave me. I smiled shily. There was nowhere else i'd rather be right now. He came closer and finally kissed me. It was even better than the last time. Like we were meant for this. It felt so right being in his arms, kissing him. Suddenly, i opened my eyes and saw something i shouldn't have seen. I saw Cat noir, on the opposite roof. He had a horrified look in his eyes. I saw him run off into the night and closed my eyes again. I wanted to enjoy this moment but the thought of Cat noir completely ruined it. He was my friend and i knew he was hurt by this. When Turtle shell pulled away, his eyes were shining and he had a small smile. He had to go after but, after he left, i broke down on my balcony, crying. Why was i like this? Did i make a mistake? I did love Turtle shell but my feelings for Cat noir made the thought of hurting him feel like hell. The next day, i was pretty distracted. When i came to class i noticed that Nino had the same dreamy look i had yesterday and Adrien looked sad has ever. "Wow, you two boys look like opposites." i said. Nino looked at me and smiled even brightly. "You have no idea how much my life couldn't be better!" he said. I looked down at Adrien he had his face in his hands. "Adrien are you okay? You look even worst than yesterday." i said worried. He looked so sad and desperate. "Just go." he said. There was a crack in his voice and it was the worst thing i ever heard. I didn't get why he was acting like this with me. Before Halloween he couldn't spend the day without at least coming to talk to me. Now he was rude and not saying anything. Like he was blaming me or something. I went to my seat and spend the whole class thinking about last night and about Adrien's sadness. When the day ended, i got out of school really quickly. I couldn't wait to see Turtle shell. But reality had other plans. There was a villain that was making plants grow everywhere, trapping people in flowers to change them into flower soliders. I tried to run in a corner to transform but it was too late. The villain reached me and smiled with the most terrifying and evil smile i had ever seen. "You will be perfect to be my princess. You will help me rule this kingdom and we will conquer all!" she said with a weird and scary voice. She made a giant flower grow out of the ground. That one looked different. It was dark pink with glowing green symbols on it. Suddenly, i saw Nino come out of the school and run. The flower queen looked at him and dragged him with a giant plant. "You will be the perfect prince for my kingdom." she said with a devilish grin. She trapped us both into the flower. I was so scared but determined to get out. Then, i noticed that Nino was looking at me with wide eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that? We have to escape." i said a bit mad. Then, i noticed what was happening. Plants were starting to wrap around our legs, trapping us better. If i wanted to save us i had to transform but that would mean revealing to Nino that i was Flyer. This could put him in ultimate danger. This could also make other people think that i was Flyer. It could compromise my true identity. Suddenly, I noticed my Flyer booths were appearing. This plant was forcing my transformation. Hawkmoth and that villain knew about my secret! But how could they? I did transform into Flyer to go find Cat noir one night but that would mean he saw me. He couldn't have could he? I suddenly noticed something strange Nino had green booths stuck to his feet. He looked as panicked as me. "We have to get out of here now. Were in serious danger!" he said. I didn't have a choice anymore so i sighed and said: "Nino. I'm gonna try to save us but if i do you're gonna be in danger but if i do this we will be anyway. So you have to promise me you won't talk about this to anyone okay?" Nino looked scared but he still agreed because i saw how much he was scared and panicked. So i transformed with Nino's surprised gaze and i blew up the flower. Then, i remembered that Laiil told me about a secret superpower i could use if someone learned about me being Flyer. She told me that i could only use it in case of an emergency because that power would take all my energy and make me change back 30 seconds after. So i dragged Nino on the side of the school and used the power. Nino was enveloped by little dragonflies who erased his memory. Then, we both fell on the ground and i didn't stick around to find out what would happen. I instantly ran to hide before i changed back. I had never seen Laiil this tired. "Are you okay?" i asked. "You used the power?" she said startled. I rolled my eyes and said: "Well thanks for answering anyway. Well yes did." She looked at me with those big eyes of hers and said: "I told you to use it in case of danger. That wasn't. Nino would have been helpful." I didn't get why she said he would be helpful but i didn't really care. Because of the power i couldn't transform for the next 24 hours which meant i had to run home like everybody else instead of helping Ladybug, Cat noir and Turtle shell. Unfortunately for me, when i ran out of my hiding place, the villain saw me and caught me. "I don't know how you got out but this time you're not getting out!" she said and caught me in the flower again. What surprise did i have to find Turtle shell with me this time. He smiled at me but i frowned and said: "Turtle shell this is no time for flirting i-" and i was cut off because the flower was trying to force my transformation again which couldn't happen because i used the power. So when it tried to transform me it caused a huge pain who made me scream. There was light who came out of my eyes who turned green. Turtle shell caught me in his arms after i fell on the ground of the flower. Luckily he didn't see my eyes. "We have to get you out of here. I don't know what it's doing to you but it's not good." he said worried. Suddenly we saw the flower turn black-grey and break down. Cat noir had used his cataclysm to save us. I tried to get up but i couldn't. The flower had took my energy and i had trouble opening my eyes. Turtle shell came to me to check if i was okay but, truly, i wasn't. "No, no, no, no, no! She's not responding and she's almost not breathing." he said terrified. I tried to open my eyes but all i could see was Turtle shell's face looking terrified. "I don't have much time left before i change back. I'll come back after." Cat noir said. The voices were fading and the last things i heard were Ladybug saying "Where is Flyer when we need her?" and Turtle shell saying "No, no, no. Please, wake up!" and i fell asleep.
