"Hey guys?" Alya called. She had gotten a notification that a new post was uploaded to Madelynn's Lady Luck blog and thought that she could use a pick me up, not expecting Ladybug to be sitting next to the gold dressed female.
"What is it Al?" Nino asked, coming into the room with Adrien.
"Did you get an update on the search for Marinette?" Adrien asked, hopeful.
"Sort of, but not from the press or the police," Alya said.
"Then who?" Nino asked.
"Uh, Lady Luck."
"What?" The boys both asked.
"Here, look," Alya said, handing them the phone. They pushed play on the video.
"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
The video ended.
"So, where is she?" Nino asked.
"Yeah, this is her singing a song with Lady Luck," Adrien stated.
"Well duh Captain Obvious! I know where she is. I am telling the police where I think she is," Alya said, before texting the police her idea of where her best friend might be.
"Care to share with us?" Adrien asked.
"Sure. She is with Lady Luck at the Grand Paris Hotel. I am not telling you her room, only because I don't know which room is hers," Alya answered after sending the message to the police.
"Why would she even be with Lady Luck in the first place?" Nino asked. They all thought for a moment to come up with any reason. Alya froze when she remembered the detour earlier. She gasped in realization.
"What's up Alya?" Adrien asked. She looked up at him.
"The place we went to earlier. To see Dr. Primevere," Alya explained.
"Wait, you guys went to see Marinette's doctor? Why?" Adrien asked.
"Have you guys noticed how similar Marinette and Made-Lady Luck look?" Alya asked. The boys nodded. "Well, they noticed too and they went to take a DNA test. I wonder if she got the results when she fell. Oh my word! Did we check her for injuries when she got back?! Wait we didn't know until we saw the video. I should've kept my eye on her since I saw the video just before you tw-"
"Alya, babe, you're rambling," Nino said.
"Shut up, Nino!"
"Guys calm down," Adrien ordered, placing a hand on each of their shoulders. A knock on the front door was heard echoing throughout the mansion. Adrien went to open the door. Officer Raincomprix was at the door.
"Thought we could escort you three to the hotel to retrieve Mademoiselle Dupain-Cheng."
"Sure, we'll ride in the limo though," Adrien said. The group of teens climbed into the limo. They pulled out into the street. Patrol cars were both following and leading the limo to the Grand Paris Hotel.
With Marinette and Madelynn ~
"I think the plan worked a little too much. The entire police force is here, I was thinking more like just Officer Raincomprix coming to collect you, not this," Madelynn explained. They were out on the balcony people watching.
"You better put your mask on. Don't want the world to know your identity," Marinette said. Madelynn nodded before going inside to grab her mask. She slipped it on when there was a knock at the door.
"Open up! The police are here to arrest Mari-Trash!" Chloe's annoying voice came through the hotel room door. Marinette and Lady Luck locked eyes and rolled them in annoyance. Lady Luck opened the door to see the witch herself and a couple police officers. "Hey Lady Luck! Mari-Trash bugging you still? Don't worry, the police are here to take her to jail," Chloe claimed.
"Uh, she hasn't been bugging me, Chloe," Lady Luck said.
"Of course she has!" Chloe exclaimed.
"Monsieur Agreste, Mademoiselle Cesaire, and Monsieur Lahiffe are in the lobby, waiting for Mademoiselle Dupain-Cheng," One of the officers said. Lady Luck nodded and called for Marinette.
"Oui? Oh, bonsoir officers! Chloe. What's the matter?" Marinette asked.
"Your friends and your boyfriend would like to see you in the lobby," A different officer claimed.
"Oh, okay. Give me a second," Marinette said. She ran back to grab her purse and coat before following the officers down to the lobby. When the elevator door opened, she was greeted by loads of press asking Adrien, Alya, and Nino questions. Marinette blinked at the sight. Then she locked eyes with Adrien. He stepped towards her, walking through the crowd and making his way to Marinette. When he was an arms length away, he pulled her into his arms. Adrien ran his hand through Marinette's hair lovingly as she hugged him back.
"Alright lover boy, quit hogging her to yourself. Let me hug my best friend too!" Alya said, pulling him away to take his place. Marinette giggled as she hugged Alya back. She was then pulled into a group hug with Nino and Adrien, whom she hugged back too. When she pulled back, she hit her head on Adrien's chin, causing her to hiss in pain.
"Are you okay, Bugaboo?" Adrien asked, concerned. Marinette nodded. The press decided to make their presence known at that moment.
"Mademoiselle Dupain-Cheng! What happened to make you disappear?"
"Mademoiselle Dupain-Cheng what is your side of the story?!"
"Why did you come to this hotel?"
Marinette hid herself into Adrien's chest, who wrapped his arms around her protectively.
"She won't be answering any questions right now," Adrien stated, before guiding her to the limo. Madelynn was standing by the door, arms crossed, frowning sadly. Marinette winked at her sister, causing Madelynn to smirk. Soon, Adrien had Marinette sitting next to him in the back of the limo. Alya and Nino sat in front of them. The ride to the mansion was silent. Marinette was silently humming the song she sang with her sister earlier.
"Why'd you leave?" Alya asked. Marinette looked at her, then at the boys, who have given their attention to her as well.
"I had somewhere to go," Marinette answered.
"That's not a good answer," Nino responded.
"Princess, Nino and I know about the visit to see your doctor," Adrien admitted. "Did this little trip involve that?"
"Alya!" Marinette cried.
"Sorry girl, but we were trying to find you and it didn't seem important to keep as a secret as the fact you were missing," Alya responded.
"Did this little trip involve that?" Adrien asked again.
