The girls switched off the tv in anger. "Why is their family in charge of everything! It's not fair!" Alya threw a pillow on the ground.
"Has there ever been a vote for mayor?" Marinette wondered. "Or has it always been a bourgeois?"
"Hmm I've never thought about it?" Alya shrugged. "Knowing their family they probably cheated."
The girls sat on the couches for a while just talking about girly things. When Alya checked her phone. "Oh my gosh! I have to go!"
"What!? What is it!?" Marinette asked.
"There's a new villain roaming around Paris and Ladybug will definitely be there! I'm sorry but I need this for my ladyblog." She sounded excited.
"Ladyblog?" Marinette was confused. She hadn't heard of that before.
"You know ladybug and Chat Noir well I'm crazy about ladybug and I run a blog about her. I'm dying to know who she really is!" She almost jumped up and down. Marinette opened her mouth to confess to her friend but looked down into her purse and Tikki shook her head.
"Well I'll see you later then?"
"As soon as the villain is defeated." Alya looked down at her phone again. "And I think I know who it is." She turned her phone around to face Marinette. The picture was a girl and her arms were stretched out towards to camera.
"No," she gasped. "Bailey?"
Adrien never really noticed how beautiful Marinette was until he up close. Yeah she's cute, but every girl is. Her eyes sparkle, her smile is warm, and her hair is good too I guess? Marinette is truly beautiful. He was lost in thought when he suddenly saw a flash of green. "What the?" He ran towards the window and saw a girl in a skin tight green suit with a pattern along the sides. She had blazing orange hair and piecing green eyes. Not green like his more olive. Her arms stretched out and she picked up a tree and threw it into the park.
"Plagg, do you have strength?" He asked his Kwami.
"Of course I do I've been eating all day."
"Plagg, claws out!"
Ladybug jumped from house to house when she came upon the palace. Flexagirl was perched on top of the building shouting something. "Emily? I know you're in there.. So come out and fight!" People were surrounding the streets below scared but also curious.
"Beautiful view" a voice appeared behind her.
"Huh?" She turned around to see a familiar pair of green eyes.
"But I know something even more beautiful." Chat Noir teased.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yep. And I'm not gonna tell you." He sniggered.
"Good because I don't want to hear it. We need to defeat this akuma." Ladybug pointed to the palace.
The two of them jumped from building to building to reach the palace, their weapons ready to strike.
"Bailey! What are you doing?" Ladybug asked up to Bailey's head, which was far above them because her legs had stretched.
"The Bailey that once lived inside of me is now gone, she was just a sad loser, but now Flexagirl will never lose! Especially not to pricks like you!" She faced towards Emily's shocked face and, almost identical, Chloé beside her.
"I won fair and square!" Emily stopped her foot. "I deserved it I'm the pretty one."
"That's enough!" Flexagirl reached down stretching her long arm and took hold of Emily. "Confess. And I will put you down. Or don't confess, and..." She started tipping her hand so Emily was almost upside down.
"Ok, ok!" Emily squealed. "I threw the head onto the mat."
"Haha I knew you were, i mean are, a cheater!" Her laughed echoed.
"Flexagirl stop!" Ladybug shouted up at her and the elastic girl death stared her.
"Ladybug if you were smart you would give me your Miraculous now." The girl shouted down.
"I would never do that, and I am smart" she said matter of factly.
"While I would love to talk about how smart you are m'lady we kinda have to defeat this villain. Any ideas what her akuma is?" Chat Noir spoke from behind her.
"I need her to un-stretch so I can get a better look." She looked around for a moment. "I think we will have to use our powers."
"Good idea."
Ladybug flicked her Yoyo into the air and shouted. "Lucky charm!" A gymnastics ribbon fell into her arms.
"Cataclysm!" Chat Noir shouted as his hand covered in dark magic. "Any ideas my love?"
"Not yet, and don't call me your love." Ladybug said bluntly. She scanned the area. "I got an idea."
Ladybug started twirling around spinning the ribbon doing some flips also, it seemed to catch flexagirls attention. She stretched down to normal size to judge ladybug.
Ladybug carefully examined Flexagirl when she noticed a shine around her neck, a medal.
"Chat Noir her medal, grab it!" She told him. He skilfully tried to reach her but she stretched away.
"You will never reach it." She laughed.
Ladybug thought for a moment as Flexagirl was laughing. "Chat can I use your staff."
"Anytime ladybug."he held out his staff and she grabbed hold of his hand also. They lingered for a moment looking in each other's eyes.
"Chat I need you to let go." She pulled the staff away forcefully.
"Hey Flexagirl! Come and get me!" She called to the villain, who shrunk down to normal size again. As she came down ladybug balanced on the staff and made it go further up as she did Flexagirl followed her.
"Get her miraculous!" Hawkmoth spoke inside her head.
"I'm trying ok!"
"Flexagirl spot this, I know that you were unfairly disqualified but if you do this people won't let you into any competition ever again so just think about the old you, Bailey, the sweet, amazing person that was awesome at gymnastics and doesn't need to cheat to prove it." She held out her hand and Flexagirl stared at it. "I can free you from this hate and you will get a second chance."
Flexagirls face fell. "Your right!" She took off her medal and held it out to ladybug but before she could take it Hawkmoth controlled her.
"Stop this you need these powers, get her miraculous now!"
She gripped the medal firmly hesitating both options.
"Chat Noir now!" Down below Chat destroyed the roof that Flexagirl was standing on and she couldn't balance herself letting go of the akuma and ladybug snatched it out of the air as Flexagirl shrunk back to normal. Ladybug slid down the staff and clicked it back to the small baton it is and threw it to her partner. She threw the medal on the ground, breaking the shiny number one and releasing the akuma.
Ladybug threw her yoyo towards it. "Gotcha!" She announced as she caught it. With a tap on the top she released a now pure white butterfly.
"Bye bye little butterfly."
She threw the ribbon in the air. "Miraculous ladybug." The whole city of Paris was cleansed and Bailey returned to her natural self.
The two heroes' fists came together. "Pound it!" The two celebrated.
"Ladybug? Um, you were amazing today." Chat rubbed the back of his neck. "Ca-" he was interrupted by the familiar beep of his ring.
"You better go. Me too, we haven't got much time. You can finish next time." And she flew away holding tightly onto her string.
"You saved the day once again Marinette!" Tikki exclaimed.
"Yeah well ladybug did." She sighed. "The akuma today was strange."
"How so?"
"She didn't have any harmful powers like they usually do she just had the power to stretch. Why?" She looked cluelessly at her Kwami.
"It's because Bailey has a pure heart already. She's been akumatized before in the last Olympic." Tikki answered.
"Really? With a different ladybug?" Marinette never thought about ladybugs before herself. "So she had the powers but chose not to use them. She could sort of control herself. That's why she was hesitating and why she was going to hand the akuma over willingly."
"That's right! So it must be a different Hawkmoth because he would remember his villains." Tikki said.
"Tikki, did you know the other Kwami's?" Marinette asked.
"Yes I did." She sounded sad. "But I haven't seen them in centuries, well except for one."
"Which one?"
"Plagg. My brother we where born together kind of like twins, if that's what you humans call them. He's Chat Noir's Kwami." Said said.
"Wait! So I've met Chat Noir in civilian form?" She sounded shocked. "How did I not recognise him?"
"I told you, perception filter." Tikki laughed.
"Oh yeah, I wonder who he is?" Tikki started giggling and Marinette stared at her. "It's not obvious is it?"
