Lila was ranting about how being Ladybug was super hard, how she was doing it for the people of Paris, blah, blah, blah. Adrien had to let go of Marinette's hand. He began blowing on it. Lila caught sight of Adrien and went off to him.

" Hey, Adrien. Hey, Marinette."

" Hey, Lila," Adrien greeted.

" You must be pretty shocked that I am Ladybug. We're friends and we're not supposed to keep secrets. I hope you're not mad at me."

" Not at all. You keep your identity a secret for a reason. Why did you reveal yourself?"

Suddenly, it came to her. Lila couldn't possibly be Ladybug for multiple reasons. She had her now!

" Hey, Lila," Marinette said.

" Yes?" Lila asked.

" How can you be Ladybug if we've seen you with her several times and you got akumatized into Vulpina?" Marinette questioned.

Everyone gasped. They began murmuring. She did have a great point. Lila looked around. So many people were staring at her. She looked down.

" That was my twin sister, who is also named Lila. She was visiting that one day. She went back to New York where her and our dad live. Our parents got divorced when we were only four years old. My mom got me and my dad got her. We hardly ever get to see each other," Lila lied.

She was crying now. They were fake tears. However, everyone thought they were real. They went over and comforted her. Lila smirked at Marinette.

Adrien raised an eyebrow. He shook his head. Lila is Ladybug? Pft, please. Lila is too much of a bit*** to be ladybug. She was lying. So lying. She crossed the line this time. No one lies about being Ladybug, his one and only love! What could he do about it? He had no idea how to expose Lila's lies. He could only hope one day everyone would open their eyes and see the truth.

Marinette began to cough violently. Everyone gasped. Lila's eyes widened. Marinette's skin was the color of a sunburn. She fell to the ground, clutching her throat. Her eyes were watery. She felt like she had swallowed something super spicy. Adrien knelt down beside her. Alya and Nino rushed over. Tikki flew out of the pouch. She had to find Master Fu, now! Hopefully there will be no amoks. Everyone just watched in shock as Marinette flailed all over the place. Marinette wheezed.

" Huuuuh."

…

Master Fu was doing yoga. Wazz put on some music for him. Tikki flew through the door.

" Master! Master!" she called.

" Yes, Tikki? What is it?" Master Fu questioned. " It must be important if you're not here with your owner," he added.

" There's something wrong with Marinette!" Tikki yelled.

" What! Is she in danger?"

" I don't know. She's been boiling hot, her skin has been turning red and pink. She also has been freezing cold. This happens whenever her emotions are super strong," Tikki explained.

" Ah, I see. I wasn't expecting this day to come so soon. She must be worthy just as I thought," Master Fu said.

" Master, do you know what's going on with her?" Tikki questioned.

" Indeed. She's earned the full power of the ladybug," Master Fu answered.

" Pardon?"

" The miraculous can sense if its owner is worthy or not. The ladybug is the most powerful. If you are worthy enough, you can unlock the full power of the ladybug. You can control fire, rain, ice, electricity, etc. Her skin changing colors and her body temperature is the power trying to get her to unleash it. If I can train her and help her unleash the true power of the ladybug, then, we will never have to deal with Mayura or any villain ever again," Master Fu explained.

" Why don't I know about this? I'm part of the miraculous."

" Well, you don't know what your full power is. None of you do. But none of you will ever be as powerful as Ladybug. Not even combined. I don't know why it was made that way, but it had to be for a reason," Master Fu said. " After school, tell Marinette to come here. We have lots of work to do."

" Uh huh." Tikki nodded her head.

" Get back to your owner," Master Fu commanded.

Tikki did as she was told. Master Fu went back to doing yoga. Wazz looked around worryingly. What was going on? How come this is happening? Will everything be alright? Will Marinette be okay? He didn't know. He sighed and floated around.

Marinette's vision was blurry. She heard yelling and arguing. She groaned. She felt someone lift her up. More talking.

" I didn't actually want something bad to happen to her."

" You think she deserves it? She did talk rudely to Ladybug."

" She's half conscious, half unconscious."

" Let's try to bring her back to full consciousness."

" On it, sir."

" Hey, you! Wake up! Wake up! I need you to wake up! Are you in there?"

" Why is she so hot?"

" What's wrong with her skin?"

" I think she's waking up!"

" Great!"

" Aw."

" You can do it, kid!"

" Aw."

" Yes, open your eyes. Open your eyes."

" Marinette…"

Marinette recognized the owner of that sweet voice. Her eyes fluttered open. Adrien was staring at her from a few feet away. His face brightened, causing her to slightly smile. Tikki couldn't fly into Mari's pouch. Someone would see her. She would have to wait for the crowd to quiet down.

" Oh, Marinette! Thank god you're okay!" Adrien cried.

He pulled her into a hug.

" I was worried I was going to lose you," he mumbled.

Alya hugged her next. Marinette spotted Tikki. When did she get out? Lila stared at her coldly.

" Okay, now that everything is okay, we will be on our way."

Everyone went back to what they were doing. Tikki flew back into the pouch. Marinette went to her seat. Alya rubbed her back.

" That was a close one. I was so worried you were going to die."

" Good to know you care about me."

" I always have, girl."

Miss. Mendeliev came into the classroom. Everyone stopped talking. She began teaching like normal. Marinette impatiently waited for class to be over. Tikki had some explaining to do. However, she was going anywhere any time soon. Class was going by so slow. Marinette eventually began tuning the teacher out.

" Marinette? Marinette! MARINETTE!" Miss. Medeliev called.

" Yes?" Marinette asked after snapping back into reality.

" Do you know the answer to this question?"

Marinette looked at the board. She gulped. She did not know the answer. She wasn't paying attention. Now, it was coming back to her. Miss. Medelieve was getting ready to scold her when the bell rang. After being assigned homework, Marinette ran to the bathroom. Luckily, no one was in there. Tikki flew out of the pouch.

" I went to go get Master Fu, thinking he could help. He did. He told me you were worthy enough to earn the full power of the Ladybug. That's why your skin is changing colors and your unusual body temperature is the power trying to get you to unleash it. Master says if you learn how to control it then we won't have to worry about Mayura ever again," Tikki explained.

" How come you never told me about this?" Marinette questioned.

" I never knew," Tikki answered. " But, Marinette, we need to get control of this power. We can stop evil once and for all. No more helpless victims getting controlled by a supervillain. This is great news!"

" I suppose you're right. But right now, we gotta go to my next class," Marinette said.

" Oh, and Master told me to tell you to come over after school," Tikki told her.

" Will do," Marinette replied.

Suddenly, her body shook violently. Her skin was blue. The walls began to turn to ice. Tikki's eyes widened. She remembered what Master had told her.

" The ladybug is the most powerful. If you are worthy enough, you can unlock the full power of the ladybug. You can control fire, rain, ice, electricity, etc. Her skin changing colors and her body temperature is the power trying to get her to unleash it."

This was horrible timing. Marinette cried for help. Icicles hung from the ceiling. Tikki and Marinette began to panic. This was not good! This was not good! This was not good!

DING!
