"What the hell was Master Fu thinking!?" Marinette screeched as soon as she landed on the rooftop of the bakery.
Marinette's transformation seemed to take an age to drop compared to its usual speed and Marinette idly wondered if Tikki was deliberately taking her time.
"I mean, seriously, of all the girls in Paris, why did Fu pick HER!? She's the meanest, most stuck-up, spite bi-"
"I would like to know the same thing actually," a familiar snobby voice came from behind her and Marinette gasped. "How can you be Ladybug? You're just some baker's daughter with terrible fashion sense and you can't even talk to Adri-kins."
Marinette turned and glared at Queen Bee…well Chloe, hovering in the air behind her.
"Chloe," Marinette said, her arms folded across her chest. "What are you doing here?"
"Well after you freaked out and ran away, I chased you to explain," Chloe replied haughtily with a sniff. It was actually rather odd seeing such a Chloe-like habit from the quietly efficient Queen Bee. "Of course, I didn't expect to see my bff turn into you."
"I wasn't expecting a hero like Queen Bee to turn into the same shallow bitch that I've known for years," Marinette snapped back and Queen Bee suddenly looked sheepish.
"Yeah…well technically…I wasn't meant to have a Miraculous…" she admitted. "And…well my kwami Pollen has been…helping me with that."
"She stung you, didn't she?" Tikki said with a hint of amusement and Queen Bee scowled at the kwami.
"Lots," she admitted with a slight sense of amusement. "Why do you think I've been trying to be…nicer?"
Marinette giggled at the thought of Chloe being stung every time she was nasty or unpleasant and Queen Bee scowled.
"That's not very nice Marinette," Tikki chided and Marinette giggled a bit more.
"No, but it is funny," Marinette said with another giggle and Queen Bee favoured her with another glare before turning away.
"Well…I'll see you at school," she sniffed and away she flew.
