Class ended and students gathered around to introduce themselves to Meg. Marinette decided it would be a good idea to let the commotion die down a bit before formally introducing herself and starting the tour. She was packing her bag when she heard Chloe's voice. Marinette knew right away that whatever words coming out of Chloe's mouth probably weren't very nice ones, and that's no way to be treated on your first day of a new school. She began making her way over to the situation, but before she could say anything, Adrien stepped in.

Adrien, she mused, always so kind to others. That's why he's a 10x better person than Chloe.

"Well, now that you've met Chloe, the worst part of the tour is over." She said. "Now that class is over I can formally introduce myself. I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the class representative and your guide."

The girls exchanged pleasantries and were just about to leave the classroom when Adrien asked if he could tag along. Marinette was stunned. Somehow after seeing him around every day, he still had that effect on her.

Yes of course, you can come along! Marinette thought she'd answered out loud, but apparently not since she heard only heard Meg's voice in response.

Marinette piped up, "Yes that sounds great. Like a great idea. A great way to make Meg feel welcome." Well at least the words make sense this time, she thought to herself as she internally face-palmed.

They were walking along the halls when they heard a loud crash and screams come from outside. Marinette knew right away that it couldn't be anything good. She was right! Outside someone had been akumatized into a gigantic frog!

"Ladybug and Cat Noir! Come out, come out wherever you are!"

This is not good! I need to transform! Marinette thought as she tried to find a reason to leave the room.

"IS HE EATING THEM?!" Yelled Meg.

Marinette couldn't believe it. Akuma victims had never eaten people before. Would my Lucky Charm be able to fix that? As she pondered this question she heard Adrien yell out,

"We should move away from the windows, in case he spots us."

But before she could move, Marinette noticed something. "Wait, look. He turned them into frogs." Relief washed over her as she realized the people hadn't been eaten. That's a question that I should ask Master Fu, for future reference.

"Well that's one more reason not to stick around." Yelled, Meg. "Come on guys, we'd better split up."

"Great idea!"

They each ran a different direction away from the classroom. Marinette was grateful for the chance to leave without having to make up some obscure excuse. She was a little worried, though, about leaving the new student all alone.

"What a terrible first day of school, Tikki! She's probably really scared, and I'm supposed to be her go-to person!"

"There's no time to think about that, Marinette. You have to transform before anything worse happens!"

She nodded. "You're right. Tikki, SPOTS ON!"

Paris had turned into a swamp by the time Ladybug arrived. The streets were mostly water and cars had been turned to giant lily pads. The buildings were made to look like trees and were now covered in vines. Cat Noir landed on a lily pad right next to Ladybug.

"Toad-ally nice to see you, M'lady!"

Ugh, she thought, this wasn't the time for his silly puns. "Cat Noir, we don't have time to play games. Paris is under attack!"

"Under a canopy is more like it. Sheesh! Look at this place."

He's right; Paris is a mess, she thought. "But where is Frogzilla?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Lady Bug saw something moving towards them, and fast!

"Cat Noir, look out!" Frogzilla's tongue just barely missed them as it zoomed by!

"I bet you'll taste delicious, Ladybug! Much better than any normal fly!" Frogzilla said before splashing back underwater.

"Steer clear of his tongue." Ladybug warned, "He turns people into frogs!"

"Got it! Any idea where the akuma is hiding?"

She looked around for any clues. "Not yet, keep an eye out."

Frogzilla hopped up out of the water and high into the air. Something glinted in the light. It was a necklace.

"Cat Noir, there!" She pointed up, "The akuma must be in his necklace."

Frogzilla crash-landed on a lily pad, causing enormous waves that nearly knocked them off of their feet.

"How are we going to get to it?" Cat Noir asked.

"Ladybug and Cat Noir, give me your miraculous and things will go swimmingly!"

"Hey, puns are my job!"

"Cat Noir, focus! Help me lure him to the dry side of the city. We'll have a better chance where we can stand on solid ground."

Cat Noir extended his staff and pole-vaulted himself through the marshy streets and Ladybug swung on her yo-yo toward the part of Paris that was not yet transformed into Frogzilla's swamp.

"Not so fast you two!" screamed Frogzilla as he whipped out his tongue trying to catch them! Everything his tongue touched turned into part of the swamp.

"We'd better hurry Ladybug or there won't be any Paris left!" Cat Noir said frantically.

"I'm thinking!" she replied, racking her brain.

"I've got an idea! Follow me!" Cat Noir led Ladybug through an alley that was too narrow for Frogzilla to follow, and they were quickly out of sight.

Cat Noir checked to make sure the coast was clear before telling LB his plan, "We can only see his necklace when he hops, right? So we're going to have to get under him somehow."

"But how are we going to do that?" Ladybug was looking around for ideas when suddenly the building next to her turned into a tree, and was yanked out of the ground.

"I found you! Your miraculous are mine!" Frogzilla sent his tongue flying toward Ladybug, but Cat Noir intercepted with his staff, turning it into a vine at the touch of Frogzilla's tongue.

"Well, there goes my plan." Said CN.

"Thanks, Cat Noir!" That was a close one, but now you're out of a weapon. Out of options, Ladybug called on her power.

"LUCKY CHARM!"

After the short animation sequence, a large tube of Super Glue fell into her hands.

"Glue? What am I supposed to do with this?" She looked around to find the other tools she would need to bring down Frogzilla. "That's it! Cat Noir, follow me!"

Ladybug and Cat Noir raced toward the Eiffel Tower with Frogzilla following closely behind. They scaled up to the second level, and Cat Noir quickly caught on to Ladybug's plan.

"Here froggy, froggy." Cat Noir taunted as Ladybug squirted out the glue. She loved how he always seemed to be able to read her mind.

Frogzilla climbed up the sides of the Tower, thinking he had them trapped.

"You've got nowhere to run." said he before hurling his tongue at them.

They quickly dodged his attack and his tongue stuck to the side of the Eiffel Tower. He was stuck with his belly and the necklace in full view.

"Cat Noir, now!" yelled Ladybug to her partner.

"CATACLYSM."

Cat Noir destroyed the necklace, unleashing the akuma for Ladybug to capture.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" she cried as she threw the super glue into the air and changed everything back to normal, including Cat Noir's staff.

"Pound it."

It was their custom. After a long fight, and perfect teamwork, they bumped fists. It was just another day in the lives of these super heroes. Ladybug was so glad to have Cat Noir as her partner and couldn't imagine fighting villains without him. She remembered the other fights they had this week, not much different from this one. Each time, they executed the plan perfectly like they shared a brain. In that moment she was really glad to have him, even with his corny puns.

"Thanks for always having my back, Cat Noir."

"Anything for you, M'lady." Cat Noir replied with a short bow.

Her earrings began beeping, letting her know she only had a short amount of time before turning back into Marinette. There never seemed to be enough time to catch her breath after a fight.

"Bug out!" she said as she swung out. I hope he knows how much I truly appreciate him.
