Chapter 13 – The Party
Adrien's P.O.V.
"Are you almost ready kid?" I hear Plagg shout behind the bathroom door, "We gotta get goin here soon!"
"Almost!" I reply, I had just gotten home from a photo shoot and really didn't want to go to this "party" with this weird hairdo they put me in, especially with Ladybug, so I took a shower.
"Ok" I say, coming out of the bathroom door, "Let's go!"
"Finally!" Plagg shouts, noticing me come out of the bathroom, "It took you forever to get ready!" He complained.
"It's been 15 minutes Plagg" I say unimpressed.
"Well that 15 minutes too long!" He argues, "C'mon let's go or Ladybug will be wondering where we are."
"Ok, Plagg…..Claws out!"
Marinette's P.O.V.
"Marinette!" Tikki shouted into my ear, "Wake up! We have to get going!"
"Huh?" I say sleepily, today is Saturday, which means….I sleep in and take several naps throughout the day. Since my kwami was telling me we had to go I looked at the clock….what!? It's that time already!? I have to get going.
"Tikki! Spots on!"
Tikki just smiled at me before going into my earrings, knowing that I knew where to go and what to say.
*Transformation Scene*
Once I'm transformed, I look into my mirror and gasp. My usually skin tight suit was now a beautiful dress! The top half of the dress was black, it was a V-neck with one strap on the shoulder, and the bottom half of it was a ladybug print. I also, of course, had my mask on with my hair in a one-sided ponytail with a red ribbon tied around it. Lastly, I had the most beautiful and elegant black gloves that went up to my elbows. At first, I didn't recognize the dress at all but as I looked closer into the mirror. I realized that this was a dress that I designed a couple of days ago! Tikki must have seen the drawing, and actually wanted me to show of one of my dresses.
All of a sudden I hear a soft subtle whisper in my mind that says, "You deserve it Marinette!" and immediately knew it was Tikki.
"Thank you Tikki!"
Those were the last words before I headed to the party. Little did I know, though, this party would be a party that would change my life forever…
Alya's P.O.V.
Ok, I know that Trixx had told me that this party was just down the street and that I didn't need the address, but I was seriously starting to regret that decision…..a lot!
I looked around the roof that I was on, maybe I could find some other certain heroines who could help me find my way…..ugh! My first task as heroine and I can't even complete it, how am I going to save Paris now?! Not only that, but I was also in an orange and white dress, not that I mind it. The dress itself was absolutely gorgeous, but this was just plain weird, I was on a roof….in a dress.
"You lost?" Came a deep voice behind me.
"Huh?" I looked behind me to see a boy in a blue and white tux with a mask on, "Who are you?" I ask bluntly.
"Well you're not shy at all." The boy commented, "Are super heroes supposed to be polite?"
"Aren't super heroes supposed to be charming and good-looking?" I retorted.
"What? You saying I'm not good-looking?" He asked, narrow eyed.
"I've never said you weren't good-looking" I responded, "Charming, however, that's a whole other story" I said smirking, when he glared at me.
"Look are you lost or not, and while we're at it, who are you?" He says, getting impatient.
"Who are you?" I ask.
"I asked first" He claims.
"No you didn't!" I ague, "I did!"
"No, not quite" He says, now calming down, "You asked who I was first, but I asked if you were lost first, before you asked who I was…therefore you have to answer me first." He smirks at me, knowing he's won are little argument.
"Fine" I say, "I'm…Volpina, and yes I'm lost. Now you."
"Huh, fair enough" He says, wow, he must think he's so cool, "Name's Pedro, and now I'll help you to where you're going." He says confidently.
"How do you know where I'm going?" I ask suspiciously.
He gives me a look that says 'seriously' he gestures to our outfits.
"Ok, that might've been a dumb question, but are you so sure that we're fighting for the same thing, you could be akumatized right now" I say, oddly feeling proud that I know so much.
"1. You could be akumatized too, but I'm now questioning your every move, 2. My kwami told me I'd probably see another person in a weird tight suit on the way to the party." He says, as we are both now walking to the party.
"Fair enough" I reply, "Now let's get to this party!"
Then we run along the rooftops, until we see two other people in tight suits…
"Ladybug and Chat Noir?!" I shout, and they both immediately stop, turning their heads towards me…..I just had to open my mouth, I couldn't wait until we got to the party. All of a sudden I see them running toward us, they work incredibly well together. They're running at the same speed and everything, almost as if they're one human being. It wasn't I realized that they were running incredibly fast, and would probably get to us in 10 seconds flat that I started to panic….what was I supposed to say?! Also how did Ladybug move like that in a dress?! She really was a hero, and Chat Noir was in a pure black tux….It looked really good on him too!
"Well this is gonna be fun" The boy next to me says, clearly unexcited.
*Third Person P.O.V.*
Where I everyone?! Chloe thought to herself, the old man in the Hawaiian shirt told her the others were coming as soon as she entered the building. It was kind of an awkward greeting too, especially since she was in a yellow dress with a matching mask…..
Luckily, it wasn't just her and the old man, there was also another girl in a green a blue dress with a mask on as well. She looked absolutely beautiful, which Chloe envied, and she almost resembled a turtle. Chloe wondered why she and the girl had on a mask, but the old man was just in a Hawaiian shirt and some khakis….it was kind of unsettling.
All of a sudden Chloe heard a door shut, and looked to her left to see two people, a girl in an orange and white dress, and a boy in a blue and white dress and they both had mask on. Who are they?! If they didn't confuse Chloe yet, then she was certainly confused when she saw Ladybug, looking absolutely gorgeous in her long elegant dress, and Chat Noir in a black tux enter the room…Chloe was starting to have a major panic attack! What the heck were they doing here?!
"Welcome Ladybug and Chat Noir!" The old man said.
"Thanks for having us Master!" Ladybug said graciously with a smile on her face.
Chat, however, looked a little reserved. Chloe wondered why. Also why did Ladybug call the old man Master? Chloe was so confused.
"Ok" Chat said, interrupting Chloe's thoughts, "Quick question, are these people are new team?" He asked gesturing to Chloe and the other girl and boy.
The old man, apparently known as "Master" nodded in response.
"Really?" Ladybug asked, "Do they know?"
"Nope" The old man replied.
"Well then" Chat said, "Let's get started!" He said with a weird Cheshire grin on his face….oh no, what are we starting?! Chloe thought getting panicked once again.
"Ok, first things first" Ladybug said, "What're your names and what's your miraculous?" She asked politely, "We met you two, but we really didn't get your names" She said gesturing to the boy and the girl.
"I'm Pedro and I have the Peacock miraculous" The boy said, so his name's Pedro.
"I'm Volpina and my miraculous is the fox" The girl said, wasn't Volpina an akumatized villain though.
"Volpina huh?" Ladybug said, a strained smile on her face, "That's an interesting name, how'd you choose it?" She asked, gritting her teeth. Volpina was definitely an akumatized person, Chloe decided.
"My kwami told me that was my name" The girl, now known as "Volpina" replied calmly, meeting Ladybug with a level stare, huh, she had guts.
"Calm down LB" Chat said, walking over to his partner, "We both know are kwamis already told us about this" He says, and then they both shared a look, Chat silently telling Ladybug that it was ok. Chloe almost felt like she was intruding them, but she couldn't look away. The devotion and respect they had for each other was mesmerizing. Finally, Ladybug nodded and took a deep breath then said, "Who are you?"
It took a minute for Chloe to realize she was talking to her, but she responded somewhat confidently, "I'm Queen B, and I have the bee miraculous."
"The bee miraculous, huh?" Ladybug said, smiling, "Queen B's an interesting name, but I like it!"
"Now that you've all been slightly introduced to each other, let's get this party started!" Master, Chloe decided to start calling him that now, so she could get used to it.
"Wait" Chat said, "Please tell me this isn't an actual party, and that it was just an excuse to get us hear?" He said, almost pleadingly.
"Of course it wasn't!" Master exclaimed, "This really is a party! We are celebrating!" He said excitedly.
"What are we celebrating?" Pedro asked curiously.
It wasn't hard for Chloe to remember names since there was only two of them.
"We are celebrating the new team!" Master said, "Team Miraculous!"
It wasn't until he saw Chloe's, Pedro's, and Volpina's confused faces, that he explained the situation they were in and the new team, Ladybug and Chat occasionally putting in their own comments. The Master also introduced them to the next Guardian his niece, Naomi. He went ahead and told us her real name, since there was no need for her to have a secret identity. She just wore a mask so she wouldn't stand out. She would be the one to help them, and she would also be their friend. Chloe immediately decided she liked her, she was sweet and kind. Once all was told, the team eventually did start to party. Making jokes, dancing, eating, and just having plain fun! Chloe had never had a better night than that one…She finally felt liked she belonged…
*Later that night…*
"Well they all seemed nice enough" Chat said to Ladybug.
"Yah they really did." Ladybug responded.
Her and Chat were sitting on a roof, her head leaning on his shoulder. The party ended hours ago, and everyone else went home, but her and Chat decided to go to finish their nightly patrol. Ladybug was honestly really happy that Chat and her decide to patrol together, she guessed that they both figured this would be their last patrol together alone, just the two of them, for a while, so they were making the most of it.
They sat there for hours just talking to each other, and laughing occasionally. It was a very sentimental moment, and both knew that this was a very important change for the both of them. It wasn't until they saw the sun starting to rise, that they knew they both had to go home.
"I'll see you later?" Chat asked, almost as if this was the last time he'd see her.
"Of course you will Kitty!" Ladybug said smiling, Chat would see her again alright. It would just be a little different.
Hearing Ladybug's response, Chat smiled back at her, and for the first time. Chat leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. Normally, Ladybug would never allow it, but just this once…she did. The feel of his lips on her cheek sent shivers down her spine, and automatically she leaned into him, placing her head into the crook of his neck and hugged him. Ladybug knew they were kind of being over sentimental, but they couldn't help it.
"I'll see you Monday night, M'lady" Chat whispered softly into her hair.
"See you Monday, Kitty" Ladybug responded, then they let go of each other and headed home…
*Minutes Later*
As Adrien and Marinette laid their heads on their pillows in their beds, they both looked up the ceiling.
'What was going to happen now?' Was their last thought before they both fell into a deep slumber after staying up for most of the night with each other….
