When she awoke, Marin took a deep breath. When she had fell asleep, she had subconsciously changed into her pajamas, and let her hair down. Marin quickly pulled her hair into its soon-to-be usual hairstyle, a side braid, and put her clothes on. She looked across the room to see Pulse doing the same, except for her hair, as nothing could be done for that. Marinette looked towards her bag, which was pink, and sneered at it. She turned to her closet, and after digging around some, found two backpacks, one red and the other black. She tossed the black one to Pulse, who caught it and pulled it on her back, and Marin began putting all of her things into the new, red bag. Once everything was set, Marin and Pulse propelled themselves down the stairs, with Pulse running, and Marin sliding down the banister. Both girls were laughing, and they ran through the kitchen, snagging food as they came. They got through the door as they heard her mother and father yell.
"You two be careful! It's dangerous out there!" Both girls turned to look at each other, and burst out laughing, and began running towards the school. They ran into people, and soon, as they tired of being caught in the crowds on the sidewalks, took to the skies.
They climbed the sides of buildings, much to the surprise and protest of the people below them, and began running the rooftops of Paris, as their laughter and yells of triumph rang through the air. As soon as they got to the school, or rather to the top of a building next to the school, Marin and Pulse jumped. They could feel eyes on them as the air rushed past them, and they landed silently on their feet. Both girls had their eyes on a certain blonde head, as it made its way towards them.
"Are you okay, Marinette? What were you thinki-" Adrien was cut off as both girls brushed past him, arms crossed. He, in a confused state, ran back towards them. "Marinette? What's wrong? Why did you do th-"
"First off, Adrien; name's Marin, not Marinette. Second; don't talk to me. Third; I hate you, leave us alone. And forth; just repeating, I hate you." Marin got into Adrien's face, poking his chest as she repeated her words. Pulse stood behind her, smirking. Her holder was a proud, self-confident girl, not a weak, self- conscious girl. Pulse was looking Adrien in the eye, and had her arms still crossed. Marin huffed as she got out of Adrien's space, and he held a surprised expression. She sauntered past him, and Pulse followed close behind.
Marin and Pulse made their way through the halls, to their lockers, where Nino and Alya tried talking to Marin, asking who Pulse was, and why 'Marinette' had yelled at him earlier. The two ignored the questions, as well as the people asking them, and left for class. Once there, they saw that no one else had made it in yet.
They took the desk that Chloe had claimed as hers, and sat comfortably there. Marin had her feet pulled up onto the bench, and Pulse had hers on the desk. The room began to fill with students, Marin and Pulse glared at each girl that passed them, and smiled and spoke to any boy, except Adrien, who also got glared at.
As soon as Chloe walked in with Sabrina, she knew something was different with 'Marinette.' Not only was she ignoring Alya, but she maintained her glare at Adrien each time she spoke to anyone else, and she also was dress differently and had a girl next to her that looked similar to her. Chloe stomped over to where the two girls sat, at her desk.
"Why are you sitting here? This is my desk!"
"Oh. Hey Chloe. You can still sit here, but Pulse and I are staying. Alya and Nino are pestering me over him." Marin sneered at Adrien, who still had a shocked look on his face. Chloe almost fell over in surprise as Marin scooted over and patted the bench next to her. She left enough room for both Chloe and Sabrina to sit comfortably, and the four girls began talking. In the back of her mind, Marin could hear Hawkmoth's voice in the back of her head, giving her instructions.
"Befriend them, you can create miraculous, and give them Kwami's. Then, it won't just be you out there, and Chat Noir will be absolutely helpless against you."
Marin muttered under her breath, her reply. "Of course, Hawkmoth." She then turned to Chloe, who had accepted the new 'Marinette' as Marin, and her twin sister Pulse. "Hey Chlo, Sabby? Do you want to come over to our house after school? We have something to give you."
The other two girls gave her questioning looks, but agreed. The rest of the day passed uneventfully, up until gym, where everyone got a shock by seeing 'Clumsy Marinette' pass the obstacle course in less than a minute. School got out, and the group of four left school, and began talking on how they would get to the bakery.
