Now that we have a very vulnerable Chloe, let's use this as fuel for the next episode. I will follow canon as best as I can go, but I will however give more filler episodes, just to highlight some Chloe growth and redemption. Now, this chapter will be based on the 'Malediktator' episode.
Chapter 4: The Bee-Gining of The Road (Part 2)
At College Françoise Dupont. In the lunch room, Marinette, Alya and Juleka are laughing about something. They hear a helicopter, stop laughing and go out to the courtyard.
They see Chloe from the helicopter, through megaphone. "Hey there, losers! I'm headed to New York with my mom. (throws flyers) I'm leaving you all behind in your pathetic little school and your pathetic little city. Adieu!" Laughing as she flew away.
Marinette picks up a flyer showing Chloe in front of the Statue of Liberty.
"Chloe's leaving?" Nino asked.
"Forever?" Nathaniel asked.
"Looks like it." Marinette stated.
"Yeah." Alya added.
Everyone jumps in the air out of happiness; confetti appears out of thin air and there are fireworks for no reason at all. Everyone, including Denis Damocles, dances and parties. Unbeknownst to everyone, The helicopter was still in range, and the cheers and celebration was clearly heard by Chloe. And with that, a familiar growing pain came back at her.
As everyone celebrates the first of Chloe Free Days, Marinette joyously talks to her Kwami about the upcoming prospects to come. "Without Chloe around, Paris will be filled with a lot less negative emotion!" She excitedly said. "And less akumatizations." Tikki added. At the moment, Adrien walks up to Marinette from behind, but is intercepted by his Nino.
"Hey Adrien, bro, welcome to the first of many parties to come!" Nino loudly proclaims to his best bud.
Adrien laughs at his friend's silliness. "Hey, what's going on here? What are we celebrating?" He asks, both curious and excited.
"Chloe's gone! She's moving to New York!" He excitedly tells him.
"Chloe left…? For good?" Adrien asks, the excitement slowly fading away.
Still excited, not realizing that Adrien is not sharing everyone else's enthusiasm. "Yeah! Isn't it great?"
Adrien shakes his head dismissively, "Uh… no. I think it's terrible! How can you celebrate a thing like that?"
Nino frowns, "But, Chloe's a total brat to everyone. She was useless anyway. Heck, I'm glad that she is gone."
Adrien's frown gets bigger. "Nobody's useless, not even Chloe. When I was little and wasn't allowed out, she was the only friend I had."
"Well dude, I am sorry but that is not the friend we see. She has been horrible to us all." Nino said in his defence.
"You don't Nino. The past couple of days has been hard on her. Did you not see the news about her recent akumatizations?" He questioned Nino. He felt about not contacting Chloe, why didn't he.
"Yeah…well, she did look not like herself today." He confessed, feeling a little bit bad about it now.
"She left angry and unhappy. I can't celebrate that." At that, he walks away, leaving Nino puzzled at their exchange.
Meanwhile, aboard the helicopter, Chloe's mind raced with conflicting emotions. She was weirdly feeling bad about the whole day. She basically lost her only friend, hurt her father while leaving and it is official, the entire school is happy to bid her Farwell…But, she still has her mother with her, yeah!
"Mum, what are we going to do first when we get to New York?" She excitedly asked. "I was thinking you show me around, get me used to the place. I've always known I'm a New Yorker by heart, didn't help that I was brought up in that backward city, that did not even share in your-" She was cut off.
"Listen here…um, Chlorine." Audrey said, sounding frustrated.
"It's Chloe." She said, feeling the once joyous feeling, leave her body.
"Yes whatever Carol. We will not go anywhere I am. I just told your father so he may agree to my demands." She pointedly said.
It was as if all the world's colour drained around Chloe. "W-what…Um mum, what do you mean?" Chloe asked, hoping her mother just wanted to test her.
Audrey rolled her eyes behind her glassed and sighed. "Look Carol. Your father can be stubborn at times. So at times I have to give him little incentives to remind him of his priorities. It won't be long till he comes to his senses and fulfils my request. While you and I can, I don't know, go on a spa day. If you behave for once, then I will restyle your wardrobe. Goodness knows you need it." She said, looking uninterested in explaining to her daughter.
It felt like a bucket of water was dumped all over her body. Her heart seemingly bore another crack, eyes that felt dry just a few minutes ago, now threatened to release new tears. Chloe did not answer, but averted her eyes, avoiding contact and the chance for her mother to criticize her and her apparent 'weakness'.
Somewhere in Paris, on a rooftop. Malediktator is standing and watching the departing helicopter.
He smirks. "By the power vested in me, I order you to land!" A yellow orb of light materializes on top of two of his fingers; he sends it towards the helicopter; the helicopter pilot is surprised as he sees the orb while it disappears into his chest. He lands the helicopter immediately.
Audrey departs the helicopter in a huff. "This is not the airport. What is the meaning of this?"
"Chloé, my daughter, you are not leaving for New York." His voice suddenly filled with power and authority.
She pokes her head out of the helicopter, "Daddy?"
"You see, I have the power to make your request fulfilled. Anything you want! Money, power, friends?! Do I seem pathetic now?!" Extends his hand. Chloe just recoils inches back, not liking the situation.
"André, this is exactly why I wanted to leave. Getting yourself Akumatized like everybody else in this town does not make you a any different than the rest. If I had known you would be such an emotional flop, I would-"
"By the power vested in me, I declare that you will be devoted to this family and remain in Paris with me and Chloe." Creates a yellow orb and shoots it at Audrey. The effects makes her sprints towards Malediktator. "Oh yes, my dear hubby. I'm so happy to stay here." Wrapping her arms around Malediktator and kisses him.
From within the helicopter. 'Ew! Things just gets better and better.' She thought to herself in disgust. She looks for a way out of this mess.
Malediktator walks up to the helicopter. "Chloe, sweetie, why don't you come— " He sees that the helicopter is empty. "Huh? Where did she go?!" He growls.
Wrapping her arms around Malediktator's neck, she spoke encouragingly. "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find her."
"Malediktator, if you want to find your daughter, you must first cause chaos in Paris. Start with the school. She'll come back of her own accord." HawkMoth voice comes through from his lair. "Good idea! Let's go and convince some brats, that being friends with Chloe, would be a delight."
At the college Françoise Dupont, courtyard. The party was still kicking and many of the students and teachers were busy enjoying the new school order. Marinette was busy dancing with Alya, chatting. When they spotted Nino by himself, and so they went over to him.
"Hey Nino, what's up?" Marinette casually asked.
"Nothing much." Nino replied, though it was a fib.
"But, you seem so down. Come on, what's wrong dude?" Alya asked.
He sighed. "Well Adrien was here and-"
"Oh yeah, Adrien! Where is he? I haven't seen him all day." Marinette cut him off. That made Alya giggle. "Chill girl, Nino was just about to say." Marinette blushed in embarrassment and apologized.
"It's okay dude. I was going to say that he is here, not too long ago. I spoke with him, mentioning about the party and what it meant. All a sudden he felt bad for Chloe. I guess because they were pals growing up, but I told him that she is not well liked. He left, still sporting a sad face." He finished explaining.
"Oh no." Marinette felt bad that she hurt Adrien. "But she is such a brat."
"That's what I said. But, I guess he still cares about her nd all that. Dude's got a big heart." Nino commented.
Marinette feels somewhat guilty about how she treated Chloe, though she might said those things in the heat of her frustration and guilt of losing the Miraculous. She might need to do something, to show she is sorry or something. Unfortunately, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the helicopter flying over the school.
"By the powers vested in me…" The whole school turns and looks at Malediktator, who is creating a giant orb of yellow, standing on the side of the helicopter. "…I declare this school to be Chloe's fan club!"
"Come on, students, prepare for the first ever Chloe appreciation day." Mr Damocles ordered. At that moment, many of the students were running around, preparing for whatever event they were planning. Marinette and Adrien look determined and both run off. Marinette hides in the locker room.
"Right! Now, where are the rest of the students? My Chloe will finally have reason's to stay here." Malediktator said.
Marinette was hiding in the locker room, she looked down at Tikki. "You know, when I said I wanted to do something nice for Chloe, I never imagined being in her suppose 'fan club'." She then proceeds to transform.
Back at the hotel, Chloe successfully made it in. She was once again, sweaty and out of breath, but at least she was…safe?
Chloe managed to get in to her room, closing the door behind her. Thoughts were racing through her head. Not just about the whole Akuma situation out there, no, but about what her mother had said to her.
"She literally treated me like a pawn? She just wanted to hurt Daddy and get him to agree to her demands? H-how could she do that to me? I am her daughter…It's not-it's not right!" She paused her ranting, thoughts of what happened today came rushing back. "But all you have ever done is put me down and take advantage of me." The fight she had with Sabrina proved it. She is like her mother. "I did all those things and hurt someone who actually wanted to be my friend…ridiculous, u-utterly ridiculo…" Chloe just broke down in to a crying mess, not caring if Malediktator, her mum, Ladybug or anyone even finds her now. She ruined everything, everyone's lives, just because she wanted to impress her mother and what has that gotten her? No friends, everybody hates her and she hurt someone who actually cared about her.
"Oh…P-Pollen!" Her sobs got louder at the mention of her name.
She was so trapped in her pity party, that she did not realize that someone was hovering over her, a look of sympathy and warmth. "Mademoiselle Chloe…" The sudden voice made the blonde girl to jerk upwards. "Jean Fidel?" It was a good thing that she had no make-up on at the moment, it would make her look more awful than she felt.
The butler simply smiled, not just the little girl used his actually name, but to see that her crying her stopped. "I was just passing by, when I heard some tearful cries. So, I decided it was you and brought you this." Saying that, he handed the yellow bear that Chloe cherished so much. It was a gift her mother gave her, at the age of five. Before she left to go to New York and never came back. Honestly, this was the only gift she got from her mother, that she cherished and felt the most love from. Feeling the new rush of emotions, she clung to that stuffed animal like a child in need of comfort.
Jean Fidel moved closer to the mistress. He knelt down to place a comforting hand on the young girl's shoulder. Honestly, he remembers when the girl was young, before her sadness took over, and would appreciate a moment of comfort, even if it was just a hug.
Chloe, feeling a bit better, calmed her tears down. She looked at the bear, clutched in her hands, and then a rise of anger came. "…useless…" Jean Fidel was shocked the words, "Mademoiselle….what do you mean?"
"I said that this bear is useless! This whole situation is useless! I AM USELESS!" Tossing the bear across the room.
Jean looked at where the bear was tossed, and back at the upset girl. "Ms Chloe, surely you don't mean what you said. No one is simply useless." He said, reasoning with the girl.
"Oh what do you know?!" She snapped back. "My own parents don't want me. Heck, my own mother, who I have idolized and built my life around, has never seen me as nothing more than an afterthought…Ha, if I would be so lucky though." Jean could clearly understand what the young girl was saying. He unfortunately did work for the girl's mother for some time now and understood her many, many faults.
"And to top it all off. I have been nothing but a bitch to my classmates and people around me, thinking I was some big thing. But the truth is, I am alone and no one likes me. And the person who was willing to be my friend, I basically pushed them away. I am just so use-"
"I would highly appreciate that you would not insult my madam, thank you." Jean cut her off, his voice stern but concerned in every word. Chloe was about to make a comeback but Jean beat her to talk. "Yes, I am merely just a servant of the Bourgeois household, but I cannot stand to see such a pitiful sight. A girl that has shown strength and decorum, pitying herself in such a manner. That is not fit whatsoever." Jean said with a shake of his head.
"W-what…?" Chloe felt confused.
He simply smiled. "Mademoiselle, I understand that you are feeling guilt for your past actions, and that is alright; it means you care. I have always known that you are a kind and sweet person, despite you guarding your heart from others. I also know that you might act selfish at times, but you truly care for people. You are not your mother and that much is certain; you are a strong and brave girl, whether you don on your superhero suit or not."
"Wait, what?!" Chloe was now surprised. But Jean had a good response. "I mean your Ladybug costume you play pretend in." Giving a slight chuckle. "What do you think I said?" He raised a curious eyebrow at the girl.
"Oh uh…nothing, nothing. I was just so shocked that you are bringing something so childish, at a moment you barely trying to comfort me. A poor job at that, don't quit your day job, Jean Fidel." She said in a huff, averting her eyes away from her butler. The butler just gave a warm smile at that, knowing full well that she was feeling much better.
A thought, as if suddenly cross through his mind, and stood up. Much to Chloe's surprise. "Hey! Where are you…?"
Jean addressed her. "I was simply going to gather the rest of the other servants. We must head to safety, right?" The blonde girl was silent. "Besides, I trust that Mademoiselle can handle the situation before her, oui?" Saying that, he left the room, with a shut of the door.
Chloe was left there on the floor, stunned and confused. 'D-does he...' But her thoughts were put aside when a loud sound was given off. She darted to her window, looking out, she saw a wild scene. Ladybug was still facing her father and she seemed to be alone. She had a strong feeling that she needed to help.
She looked at her drawer. 'No time for a pity party now. I have to play hero.'
As she opened the drawer, she took hold of the miracle jewel box, hesitantly she placed her hand over it. "Nope, nope! No time for second guessing." With that, she opened the box, a yellow flash of light illuminated the room, and forming a familiar bee creature.
"Salutations My Queen." The way that Pollen acted, as if Chloe didn't insult her a day ago.
"Pollen, I'm not good with apologies, but…I am really sorry and you were right and-" She was cut off by a hand in her face.
Pollen never losing her smile said, "I have been the Kwami of many holders before you and though I can't say that any of them were as head strong as you." That made the blonde girl shrink in guilt. "However, I can say that you have just as much potential to be a great hero. You do have the stubborn attitude to rule, but a kind heart to learn from your mistakes, and grow from them. That is what it means to be a Queen Bee." Pollen concluded, a warm smile sent to Chloe.
Chloe was deeply overwhelmed, she didn't know what to say. "P-Pollen, I don't know what to say…"
She giggled. "Well, I surely hope it is not the end of the world. My Queen, actually speechless; my, that is the first." That made Chloe scowl, but could not stop the corners of her mouth from slowly turning up.
Another crash was heard. Pollen straightened herself out. "Okay, another Akuma attack, I take it?" Chloe nodded an affirmative. "Okay My Queen. You know what to do and I hope that you will act more insightful this time." She sent a smirk her way.
Chloe nodded. "Right!" She took the Bee comb and gently placed it on the side of her head. "Ready?"
Chloe nodded. "Pollen! Buzz On!"
As she transformed, a bright yellow light engulfed Chloe. She took a forward bow, whipping her hair forward, over her eyes. The ribbon holding her ponytail would have snapped and allow her hair down. She abruptly stood straight, her hair, cascade down, giving it it's honey blonde curls; with black tips at the ends. Her black and yellow stripped hat rested on her head, two antennae protruding out. Her black and yellow mask formed on her face, she looks at the camera, and gives a blow kiss, that paints black lipstick on her top lip. She elegantly taps her right foot forward, signalling the glow to go upwards. The glow changes her outfit, giving her, her black and yellow suit, all the way to her fingertips. She raises her hands out, calling upon her spinning top. She flings it, it spins a few feet away, before retracting back to wrap around her waist. She concludes her transformation with a graceful spin, before giving an elegant but fierce pose.
"Alright. Let's do this." Out the window of her room.
-In front of the Hotel de Ville-
Many of the police force were guarding the area, with Malediktator situated on the top, with many of his controlled followers and a dotting Audrey at his side. Chat Noir was unfortunately turned in to a common house cat, leaving Ladybug to handle the situation alone. When she used her lucky charm, it at first gave her a comb. She thought that she would need to go to the Master and acquire some back up; but something told her that the kind of back up she needed would soon arrive. She was not too happy to be right, but her intuition had never steered her wrong and she knows it wasn't starting now.
She did not have to wait for long, seeing as Calvary was on its way now.
"Did somebody call for their Queen?" Queen Bee landed, confidence oozing out from her persona.
Ladybug could not help but feel displeased. The last time she heard that arrogant tone, it was not on the best of first impressions.
Queen Bee saw the displeasure in Ladybug's demeanour and straightened out stride. "Look, Ladybug, I-"
She raised a hand, "How about we save all talks for after we take care of Malediktator, okay? Then you hand over your miraculous and I will accept your apologies. Good." Ladybug said, giving no room for negotiation. Queen Bee knew she was serious, but so was she.
"Okay, so to catch you up. The Akuma is in-"
"Yes, within the sash. And I take it that the kitty, rubbing his head on mu-Ms Audrey, is Chat Noir." She hoped that Ladybug didn't notice her error.
"Um, yeah." Chloe inwardly sighed in relief. "Chat Noir was turned to act like a cat. We will have to stop Malediktator before he has a chance to take his Miraculous." Ladybug explained.
She nodded, "Okay, let's get going. We'll-" Ladybug firmly stopped her. "Not so fast, we don't want to have a repeat of last time." Ladybug pointedly said. Chloe wanted to rebuff, but needed to follow the lead.
Ladybug took the chance to use her "Lucky Charm!" And black and red lights gather together to form-
Catching it in her arms. "A mirror? Again? This has to be some kind of joke?" Ladybug looked over the familiar item with a look of displeasure. Queen Bee just felt like this was all the universe idea of funny, talk about De Ja Vu.
Ladybug took a few minutes to put the pieces to her plan together and when her eyes landed on Queen Bee, it came together. "I got it. All I need from you is to call upon your 'Valor Bee' and the plan will come together."
"On second thought, I have a better idea." And before Ladybug could attest, she called out her 'Bee Hive' and summoned, "Insight Bee!" As she transformed, her suit took on a more predominantly vibrant yellow. Her fuzz was shed off and black lines adorned her suit, intricate designs of puzzle pieces graced her outfit. Her hair was put in a tight low bun. Her top disappeared and her once blue eyes, turned in a vibrant yellow glow.
"Queen Bee, that was not the plan, 'Valor Bee' would have been the better-" Her lecturing was cut short though.
"I'm sorry Ladybug, but that is where you are wrong. While Valor Bee is strong and fast, it mostly corners on strength; something we don't need right now. Best Option would be 'Insight Bee' as Malediktator's powers involve manipulating people's emotions and turning them into his adoring fans, which could create chaotic and unpredictable situations on the battlefield. Seeing that they would most likely protect him and brute force is not ideal. The Insight Bee's heightened perception and intuition would allow me to anticipate Malediktator's moves and distract him. For which that is part of your plan, I believe?" Queen Bee concluded.
Ladybug just gave an affirmative grunt. She didn't want to say she was right, but she hadn't counted on the 'Insight Bee' for this.
"Okay, be that as it may. We have to act fast." She pointedly said. To which Queen Bee nodded in agreement.
Malediktator was impatiently waiting on his makeshift throne, awaiting for the heroes to make a move. 'I am getting impatient Malediktator!" HawkMoth's deep voice bellowed through his head, his patience falling apart. 'If you do not make and move and retrieve me my miraculouses, I will be forced to take back my powers and leave you the weak willed man you were!" That sent a shiver down the villain's spine. He did the needful and called for his army to survey and capture the heroes.
"Where is Ladybug?! I must have her miraculous!" He ordered.
"Sorry Da- Malediktator." Queen Bee gingerly walked towards the building, golden eyes darted forward and around. "But your dictatorship has come to an end. Monarchy is here and Queen Bee is here to ascend the throne." She braced for whatever was to come.
"I have no time for a pest like you! Where is Ladybug?!" He ordered. 'Malediktator, cease her Miraculous. She may not be the Ladybug one, but it is just as valuable. Do not fail me.' He sent a sly smirk. "But seeing as you have come, delivering your Miraculous, I guess a proper welcome is in order."
'He always did do nice for people he thought he could get something from them.' She thought to herself.
"Guards, cease her!" He ordered and the battle began.
With the help of the 'Insight Bee', Queen Bee, even without a weapon, was able to calculate the guards most likely step and strike. She doing her best to dodge, block and strike. But the mental strain of the power is already taking it's toll. Because the bee merely boosts the holders instincts and perceptions, they will have be more vigil, add that with a lot of people to watch out for and you have a growing headache. The plan was working as more and more guards were coming in to fight.
"Can't you people do anything right?! Guess I will have to everything myself." As he stood up, Chloe mentally say yes.
Putting his two fingers together. "By the power invested in me." Two football sized ball of light was forming. "I make you submit!" He launched the sphere. But out of nowhere, Ladybug swings in to action. "I don't think!" She landed in the path of the attack, a mirror held out in front of her. "Take a taste of your own medicine." The beam bounced off the reflective surface, and back at the shocked villain. He didn't have enough to dodge or defend. The beam made hi freeze.
Many of his subjects were halted. Ladybug took the opportunity to grab the sash and set the Akuma free.
"No more evil-doing for you little Akuma." Saying that, she opened her yo-yo, to show a white light. "Time to de-evilize!" Catches the Akuma. "Gotcha!" Releases the now-purified Akuma. "Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" She tosses the mirror and the Miraculous cure spreads out. The cure works around, everyone who was a subject to Malediktator's control was set free. Even Chat Noir and Audrey. Mayor Bourgeois also came back to normal' albeit a little confused.
Queen Bee felt proud that everything was back to normal. She however didn't listen to her senses in time and let her guard down to Ladybug's yo-yo wrapping around her. With a bewildered look, she faced the spotted hero.
"Thank you Queen Bee, for all you have done, but I cannot allow you to leave with the stolen Miraculous." She said, a tone expressing that it was over. "Chat Noir, get the Miraculous."
"My Lady, could we not talk more about this, instead?" He asked, feeling like this was wrong. But her pointed look, said anything but negotiation. So he walked up to the bee heroine, "Sorry to have to do this, but for what it's worth, you were really good today. Might made a great hero one day." He sent an apologetic smile as he reached for her bee comb.
"Sorry kitty, but I am not done with my crown." She dodged his hand. "Chat Noir, look out!" He was too late. Using her free hand, she grabbed on to his belt and with enough strength, swung the hero around, tossing him at the Ladybug, who managed to stop his fall on reflex, "NO!" But let Queen Bee go.
She jumped away, time against her. She looked back down to everyone. "Sorry Ladybug, but Paris has another superhero and her name is Queen Bee!" She posed, as she said, "Buzz Out!" And left, leaving a miffed Ladybug and a confused Chat Noir. "Sorry M'lady."
She sighed, "It's okay Chaton. Next time, we will get her Miraculous."
"But why? Why can't we just introduce her in? I am sure the Master-"
"Chat Noir, she took the miraculous and kept it. The master is not pleased about any of and of me. I have to get before HawkMoth gets his hands on it." She looked downcast by it. Chat Noir decided to help.
"Okay Bugaboo." He said, a reassuring smile plastered on his face. That was greatly reciprocated.
They left, before their timer gave out.
Chloe hurriedly entered her room, just in time for her timer to go out. She de-transformed back to her tattered civilian clothes. A tired but smiling Pollen fell in to her hands. She went over to get the Kwami something to eat.
"You did excellent My Queen." The Kwami praised, before snacking on given treat.
Chloe being herself. "Naturally! I am the one and only, Queen Bee. Piece of cake." She bathed in her ego.
Pollen, unamused rolled her eyes. "I guess something's never change." A small smile now on her face. Chloe didn't know how to respond. Maybe it was the lack of affection today. Maybe she just needed comfort or maybe she was just so happy. She leaned forward and gave the little Kwami a soft kiss on the head, much to both their shock. The bee Kwami stared at her holder.
Chloe looked unbothered. "Well, I just wanted to do something to say thanks or whatever…for believing in me and all that mush." She held a tough front. Pollen was still a bit stunned at the gesture. Chloe was not done and leaned closer. "And things will change. Today has been a wakeup call to be better. And I will try, but I can't promise that it will be perfect or something ridiculous like that." She muttered under her breath, nervous on saying that.
Pollen, now regained her composure, just went up to the girl's forehead and placed her own little kiss. That shocked Chloe now, the warmth in it was wonderful.
"I have no doubt my Queen." She said with a content tune in her voice. Chloe just sat with a happy expression of her own.
-Next Day-
Chloe was getting ready to go to school. She checked herself out in the mirror to admire her outfit. "Perfection, as always." She praised.
"My Queen, you must hurry, or you will be late for school. Punctuality is the hallmark of a leader." Pollen lectured. A small smile on her face.
Chloe just rolled her eyes at the Kwami in her white purse. "Yeah, yeah, I'm going." With that, she went out of her room.
She went downstairs to grab a scone and some honey candies for Pollen, when Jean came up to her.
"I hope you had a comfortable night, Mademoiselle?" The man happily inquired.
"It was okay, Jean Luke. But I will need new beddings before I come back." Chloe sent small but not unnoticed smile.
The man smiled and simply nodded. "Very well miss. But might I say, this new look suits you very well." With that, the man turned around to leave. Chloe had another smile and just left to go to school in the limo.
As Chloe sat foot in to the class, she did not pay attention to the whispers and eyes following her. "What's the special now Chloe? New outfit." Someone asked in a curious tone.
Chloe made a decision to not be like her mother anymore. Doesn't mean she will let people walk all over her, no. She just won't dress like her. Her new outfit followed her new theme. She wore a yellow knee-length skirt with black tights. A black shirt with yellow accents on them. She chose to let her hair down. And she wore her beret, which hid her bee comb securely out of sight. A touch of makeup.
"Well, if you must know. Just wanted to do something different. That's all." She said it in a matter of fact tone. Nothing was said more as class quickly started. She noticed that Sabrina switched to another seat but decided to not let it bother her.
She was taken out of her thoughts when a familiar face came up to her. "Hey Chloe, is this seat taken for today?" The blonde boy shyly asked. Chloe was all the more happy to reply. "Well if it was just anyone, then no. But for you Adrikins, sure!"
The boy briskly sat, he already informed Nino of his change of seating for today and he agreed. As they were working, Adrien spoke. "Look, Chloe. I am sorry I haven't been around for some time, especially the last couple of days. I hope you can forgive me for that? And I hope you are doing fine now?" He flashed her an apologetic and kind smile. Whenever he did that, she always remembered why she had a crush on him and why she considered him her best friend.
"Don't think nothing about it Adrikins. And sure, I'll forgive you, only if you treat me to lunch later. Your treat that is." She slyly pointed. Adrien just smile a big, "Sure Chloe."
Author's Notes:
Okay, this would have been a long fic in general, but I still love it, nonetheless. Anyway, this was interesting.
Hope you like and review.
