Hey, sorry 'bout not posting for a while after such a short chapter. I got kinda hung up, heh heh. Welp, anyways, to (hopefully) satisfy your needs for another chapter, I have a long one, or two.

Chapter 12

Several months passed and Marinette, Alya, and Crystal become the best of friends. Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Canis become good friends too as they work together to defeat the villains that appeared. Now it is the day before Valentine's Day.

"Class, we have another new student this year." The teacher said. "Please welcome Eric Melang."

A boy stepped into the room as he was introduced. Crystal watched from her new seat and looked at the boy. She gasped and a smile spread across her face.

"Crystal, since you are new this year as well, I want you to help Eric around the school." The teacher said. Eric immediately brightened up when he saw Crystal.

Crystal was more than happy but she contained herself as Eric walked over to join her. She smiled as he sat down next to her and he smiled back.

"Hi again." Crystal whispered to him. There was no response but she still knew he was happy to see her too.

Chapter 13

When the bell rang everyone was out the door. She waited for Eric to gather up all his stuff and they left together. As soon as they were out of the classroom Crystal gave Eric a hug. She pulled away and started talking.

"Where have you been all this time? What were you doing? Did you miss me? I sure missed you." Crystal asked.

"Whoa, whoa, one at a time. We moved around a lot, staying different places, then we moved here and mom decided we should stay. Again-second question-, we were moving around a lot. I met few girls at the schools I went to, but none of them were like you. Yes, I did miss you, very much." Eric answered all the questions thrown at him. They continued chatting as they walked down the hall. They caught up with Marinette and Alya.

"Is that, Adrien?" Marinette asked, almost stunned, as she and Alya gaped at Eric.

"No. Remember that friend I said I was reminded of? This is him. His name is Eric." Crystal said.

"How long have you known each other?" Alya asked.

"About seven years." Eric said.

"Wow. I guess you know each other really well." Marinette said.

"Yeah, we do." Crystal said.

"I can't really get over how much he looks like Adrien though." Marinette said.

"I guess you do look a lot like him." Crystal said, looking over Eric. "You should meet him. Come on."

Crystal spotted Adrien and waved him over.

"Hi Adrien. I wanted you to meet someone." Crystal said to Adrien. "This is my friend, Eric."

Crystal moved aside to let Eric and Adrien see each other. She stood by Marinette and Alya as they gaped at how similar Eric and Adrien looked.

"They look exactly the same." Marinette uttered.

"Not quite. See, Adrien, his eyes are green. Eric's are a sky blue color. And of course they're wearing different clothes."

Crystal saw that the two boys were obviously feeling kind of awkward so she butted in. "Hey, Eric, I have an idea." She pulled him away and continued. "Remember that song we would sing together? There is going to be a talent show tomorrow for Valentine's Day. We could sign up for it and do that song together!"

"That sounds like fun! Where do we sign up?"

"The principal's office. Let's go." Crystal and Eric went to the office knocked on the door.

"Come in." A voice said behind the door. Crystal and Eric went in the room.

"We wanted to enter in the talent show." Crystal said.

"Single or double?" The principal asked.

"Double." Eric answered.

"What are you performing?"

"We're singing a song together." Crystal said. "Miraculous."

The principal nodded and wrote it down on the paper. "What are your names?"

"Crystal Burchfield and Eric Melang." Eric told him.

"You're all set."

Eric and Crystal left and continued their classes.
