I do not own Miraculous Ladybug. It belongs to Zagtoon et al.

"Marinette?"

"I'd forgotten how beautiful the skyline can be in Paris."

"MARINETTE!"

Her eyes were closing and I could do nothing.

"HELP! HELP!"

A couple people came running over, but I didn't take my eyes off Marinette.

I tried to do CPR and kept doing that until I felt a strong hand on my shoulder.

"It's over, son," I heard a familiar voice say to me.

I turned around and saw my father standing there, a somber look on his face and tears in his eyes.

I turned into his warm embrace and began bawling into his chest.

"It's over. It's going to be alright," he kept repeating in my ear.

But I knew he couldn't possibly be right.


The funeral was a week later and I just stood in the back. Everyone made tearful speeches. Alya, her parents, her uncle, the mayor, but all I could do was watch on.

I was asked to be one of the pallbearers but knew I couldn't do that. I loved Ladybug and, even though I hadn't known it, I loved Marinette. Now she was gone and the only thing I could do was stand here.

The priest said a few prayers as they slowly lowered her into the ground. Everyone lay their flowers on the ground by the foot of her grave, but I was still standing there with my red rose.

Everyone slowly left, but I couldn't find the strength to leave her side. My legs gave out and I was on my knees in front of her. Directly in front of me, I could see the etching of her tomb.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng

2002-2017

Superhero to the people; hero to her friends

The realization that I was never going to see her again hit me like a knife and I wept for hours. It should have been me. I was supposed to be the one take the hit.


The months passed and I had given both my ring and Marinette's earrings to Master Fu. I knew I would never be able to wear the suit again, not without Marinette beside me.

At 9:00 pm, I did the same thing I did every day. I put on my jacket, grabbed a blanket, and walked over to the park. I set the blanket down and lay there, staring up at the Paris skyline.

There was one pattern in the stars that looked like Ladybug swinging from her yo-yo. No wonder she had called the skyline of Paris beautiful.

Just then, I heard a roar that made me jump to my feet. A huge, dragon-like monster was coming towards me. It must be an akuma. I was just about to try and do what I could to stop it when I felt a whoosh. Streaking by me went two figures that looked very familiar.

"Oh, well this is just purr-fect, isn't it?" the one in the black cat suit said.

"Just once, can we stop an akuma without you making a dumb pun?" the one in red said.

For the first time in months, I smiled.

So this is the end that I had in mind. Someone also requested I do an AU where Ladybug survives. If this is something you want to happen, feel free to leave it in a review or PM. If this is it, however, I'd like to thank you for the views, faves, follows, and reviews.
