Mr. Pigeon

Marinette sat alone on the steps of the Trocadéro, save for Tikki, with a sketchbook and charcoal in her hand. Beside her were millions of crumpled pieces of ideas.

"You know Marinette, you could use those ideas on different kinds of hats, you should save your ideas," Tikki said from her perch on top of the purse. She pointed to the growing stack of crumpled sketches.

"Don't worry Tikki, I'll keep them. I just like crumpling them because it gives me a sense of throwing them out of my mind. It gives me more of a chance to come up with better ideas." Marinette stared at her blank page of paper, then at the world around her. No inspiration was coming to her mind. "Any ideas, Tikki?" Tikki shook her head.

Marinette stared down at her blank page again. She closed her eyes and let her tired mind wander.

Marinette had not seen Chat in ages, which is a good thing. That means there have been no akuma attacks as of late. But she did miss her little cabbage. Her eyes flew open.

"How about a hat of Chat Noir?!" Tikki nodded albeit a little mischievously. Marinette leaned close near her notebook and scribbled furiously. It was always hard to get the perfect image Marinette had in her head, but she somehow did it.

Marinette tilted her head and looked at her handy work. In truth, the derby hat was adorable, but for some reason Marinette didn't think the Chat Noir derby hat was appropriate for the assignment, so she ripped out yet another piece of paper from her sketchbook, but she didn't crumple it.

"Why aren't you keeping that one Marinette, it was adorable." Tikki said in dismay.

"I know, Tikki, I just didn't feel like it was right for the project. But now I don't know what kind of derby hat I want to make now!" Marinette said in exasperation.

A tall man with a pigeon shaped whistle around his neck strolled over to a park bench as a swarm of pigeons hovered around him.

"Maybe a pigeon inspired derby hat would do." Marinette smiled and went to work drawing the pigeon derby hat.


Hello readers! I'm really sorry about this chapter being so short, but I just felt like playing with the idea of Marinette starting to think about her kitty a little bit more as time goes on. The next chapter will definitely be longer and will be about the Evillistrator! Please comment, favorite, or follow if you wish. And until I see you again, TTFN!
