MIRACULOUS LADYBUG: "KITTY LITTER"
by Mythril Moth
Snowcone
Ever since Heroes' Day—no, ever since Malediktator—Chloé Bourgeois had been, in general, nicer to those around her. She could still be snippy, sassy, and rude, and by no means had she become "best besties" with anyone, let alone Marinette, but she'd stopped being an intolerable brat. Mostly.
But Chloé had her limits, and the critical stare Marinette was giving her during a group study session in the park was getting on her nerves. She looked up from filing her nails. "What?" she snapped.
Marinette didn't so much as flinch from her tone. "I was just wondering why you always wear white with yellow," Marinette said.
Chloé snorted. "Uh, duh? Because I'm on point with all the latest fashion trends and have the most fabulous wardrobe in all of Paris!"
"Yeah, but...the white pants with the yellow jacket? I'm sorry, but it's not a good look."
Chloé scoffed through her nose. "What—! What do you know about it, Dupain-Cheng?!"
"It's just that, well...haven't you ever looked in the mirror and, well..." Marinette rolled her hand vaguely. "You kind of look like a yellow snowcone."
Adrien let out a snort of laughter.
Chloé blinked, reeling back. "Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"
"Nah, she's kinda right," Alya said with a grin. "Now that somebody said it out loud, I'm seeing it."
Chloé let out a series of affronted nasal snorts, looking from one amused face to another. "You...! You're all...!"
Adrien shook his head. "Take a selfie, Chloé," he said. "Take a really good look."
Chloé frowned, but did as Adrien suggested. After taking a series of selfies, she swiped through her phone.
Her face fell. "Oh," she said softly. "Oh. Oh...yeah," she muttered. "It kinda...yeah..."
"Why not try brown or black instead of the white?" Marinette suggested. "I mean, you're the great superhero Queen Bee, right? How about changing your look to something less...pee flavored ice and more, y'know, bee?"
"That's...actually not a bad idea," Chloé admitted. Her lips pursed in a frown. "But couldn't you have said lemon?"
Marinette shot her a teasing grin. "Nope." Everyone else laughed.
Chloé folded her arms in a pout, looking away from the group with her nose pointed in the air.
