"I don't mind that you're over, but you look like you have something on your mind. What's up?" Madelynn asked. Marinette unlocked her phone to see unread messages from Adrien, Alya, Cat Noir and Nino, all asking where she was. Sighing, she opened up her email to show Madelynn the email she received that confirmed that they were twin sisters.
"This," Marinette answered, handing the phone over. Madelynn took it and after reading the email, she looked up, completely stunned and shocked.
"Why? Why would your parents give me away?" Madelynn asked.
"First, they're our parents; and second, I don't think they knew you were even alive. Remember how I told you I had a twin sister who didn't survive three hours? Well, whenever they were asked about her, they actually looked genuinely sad. Maybe they didn't know that you were alive the entire time," Marinette explained. Madelynn nodded.
"Have you told anyone else?" Madelynn asked.
"Nope. I immediately came here once I read it, and processed it myself. Um, there is something else I should tell you, now that we know we're sisters," Marinette began.
"What is it?"
"Something you can't ever tell anyone. Alya, Nino, Adrien, Maman, and Papa already know, so it is safe to talk about this with them," Marinette explained. Madelynn gasped dramatically.
"Are you pregnant?!"
"WHAT?! NO!" Marinette exclaimed. Madelynn gust laughed at her reaction. "Well, hopefully, one day," Marinette said.
"I don't know. I don't see myself getting pregnant," Madelynn commented. "Anywho, what's the secret?"
"Uh, I am Ladybug," Marinette claimed.
"Are you serious?!" She nodded nervously.
"That's so cool! I am Ladybug's sister!" Madelynn exclaimed.
"Funny right? Ladybug and Lady Luck are related," Marinette giggled. Madelynn soon joined.
"Oh, yeah. I need your help," Marinette spoke up.
"With what?"
"I was swinging roof to roof as part of a dare that Alya gave me when I received the email with the DNA test results and I fell down mid-swing. Do you know how to deal with a concussion? Tikki can guide you through it if you need her to." Marinette asked.
"Sure, but who's Tikki?" Madelynn asked before Tikki came flying out of her hiding spot.
"Hi! I'm Tikki! I help Marinette transform into Ladybug," Tikki explained.
"Woah, what are you?" Madelynn asked.
"A Kwamii," Both Marinette and Tikki answered.'
"Hurry, she is losing a lot of blood!" Tikki said, throwing Madelynn in a world of panic.
"What do I do? I am no doctor! Should we bring you to the hospital? They would probably know what to do!"
"First CALM DOWN! Second, you need to clean her head," Tikki explained.
A/N: Sorry, I don't know the steps, so I am going to skip over to the Agreste mansion where Alya, Adrien, and Nino are going into their own panic.
"Where could she have gone?!" Alya asked.
"I have no clue! You two are the closest!" Nino exclaimed.
"SO? How was I supposed to know where she disappeared to?" Alya retorted.
"Maybe we should call the police?" Adrien asked. "They could help look throughout Paris for her. As Cat Noir, I can look while on roofs, but I can't look inside without causing a commotion. Besides, Marinette disappeared from us. She is probably hiding somewhere we would never think she'd be at."
"I agree," Alya said. Nino nodded his agreement. Adrien dialed 112 on his phone while Alya and Nino crowded around it.
"Please state your emergency," in a female voice came through the receiver once the call was answered.
"Uh, ma'am, our friend disappeared. As in one minute she was here then we turned around and she was gone," Nino explained.
"What's your names?" The lady asked.
"My name's Nino Lahiffe."
"Adrien Agreste."
"Alya Cesaire."
"Oh, is the girl missing Marinette Dupain-Cheng?" The trio glanced at each other.
"Yeah, how'd know?" Adrien asked.
"Well, you gave me your names and the only one missing was Marinette's voice. Considering she is best friends with Alya Cesaire, owner of the Ladyblog, girlfriend of Adrien Agreste, and Nino Lahiffe is Adrien's best friend while Alya's boyfriend. Pretty easy to connect the dots. How long has she been missing?" The lady explained
"Uh…"
"Three hours!" Alya answered.
"Okay. I'll have Officer Raincomprix and his team on the search," she assured.
"Thanks!" Alya, Adrien, and Nino said, before hanging up the phone. They all sat down at the dining table after Adrien let the mansion staff know what was going on. Half an hour later, the doorbell rang. The gang got up to see the press at the front gate. Sighing they stepped outside and opened the gate.
"Monsieur Agreste! What happened?"
"Why are the police looking for someone on your behalf?"
"Mademoiselle Cesaire! What's going on?"
The noise of the press was too much.
"Quiet! You, in the front, what's your question?" Alya asked.
"Mademoiselle Cesaire, Monsieur Agreste, Monsieur Lahiffe. Nadja Chamak here. Has something happened with Mademoiselle Marinette Dupain-Cheng? Is that who the police are looking for?" Nadja asked.
"Yes. We played truth or dare when we, Adrien, Nino and I got distracted by the video of Ladybug falling out of thin air. When we turned back to Marinette to get her opinion of the situation, why she thought Ladybug fell, she was gone and the bedroom door open," Alya explained.
"Are you sure she isn't somewhere in the mansion?" Another reporter asked.
"Yes, we looked for three hours," Nino answered.
"Monsieur Agreste, if she were watching this now, what would you say to her?" A different reporter asked.
With Marinette and Madelynn ~
"I'd ask her to come home, we're worried and we miss you, Marinette. Please," Adrien answered the reporter's question. Looking into the camera, almost looking into her soul. Marinette and Madelynn were watching the news to see what all the police sirens were about. Marinette was certainly surprised to see her friends surrounded by press. Madelynn had finished fixing the concussion an hour ago and they were sharing life stories when they heard the sirens.
"I know, you said that your friends know you are Ladybug right?" Marinette nodded.
"Send them a clue! Transform into Ladybug and sing a song with me for my blog! It could be something to give hope to Paris, since everyone is looking for you, for Marinette. If or when your friends see it, they'll give the idea to look for you here to the police," Madelynn explained.
"Oh, I see. But won't the police be suspicious that Ladybug was here and now I am with you?" Marinette asked.
"No, because we have to edit it and for me, that takes about another hour. The explanation to the police is you were helping with the video filming and editing. That way I don't become a kidnapper, of someone exactly my age," Madelynn answered.
"Okay, how about Like I'm Gonna Lose You by Meghan Trainor and John Legend?" Marinette asked, getting a nod from her sister.
"Let's practice!" After practicing the song for another half an hour, they got it right how they wanted it. Madelynn changed into Lady Luck. "Your turn to turn into Ladybug."
"Tikki, SPOTS ON!" With that, a red light filled the room, blinding Lady Luck while Ladybug's costume replaced Marinette's civilian clothing. They went back over to the electric piano that Lady Luck practices with. They moved the seat of the piano over enough so Lady Luck can play. She placed the camera on its tripod next to the piano and angled to face the two sisters. Lady Luck sat down with Ladybug, who pushed play on the camera to record them.
"Hey everyone! Lady Luck here with my idol! Ladybug! She wanted to do a cover song with me to keep up everyone's hope with this search for Mademoiselle Dupain-Cheng," Lady Luck started.
"Hey, guys! I am truly sorry to Mademoiselle Cesaire, Monsieur Agreste, and Monsieur Lahiffe. I hope she is found soon," Ladybug continued.
"This is Like I'm Gonna Lose You, originally sung by Meghan Trainor, accompanied by John Legend," Lady Luck introduced. She started playing. Soon, Ladybug started singing.
I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows
We were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared
And then I was all alone
I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
Lady Luck began after Ladybug sang her first part.
In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know
So I'll kiss you longer, baby
Any chance that I get
I'll make the most of the minutes
And love with no regrets
Let's take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it's all gone
'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow
Ladybug joined her for the final parts of the song, they harmonized beautifully
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
Hey
Whoa
I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
After changing and an hour of editing the video, they uploaded it to the Madelynn's blog.
