Marionette POV

     The transformation finally wore off and now I'm stuck with more questions!  There is no possible way someone knows who Chat and I are, right? I know that my memory spray worked, I mean my lucky charm has never failed me!

     "Arrrggghhhhh!" I screamed while standing up.

       I froze and then looked around to see everyone staring at me- including Adrien. That's right... I'm in school. My face turned red and I sinked slowly into my seat. I heard snickering all around me and I turned a deeper shade of red. This is embarrassing.

     "Well if you're done, Marinette, we will get back to the lesson," said my English teacher, Ms Bustier.

     Right as she put her chalk on her chalk board, the akuma alarm went off and there was a loud scream. Everyone cheered because that meant that they could go home for an hour and I sighed because I would have to go to work...

     I filed out of the room with everyone else and slipped into the bathroom. Tikki flew out of my pouch and we both nodded to each other.

    "Tikki, spots on!"

    I transformed into Ladybug and ran out the door, heading for where I heard the scream.

    "I am Gravity!" I heard, who I was guessing, the akuma yell. "You all think you are high and mighty, but I will bring you back down to Earth!"

     "Didn't Mew-ton dis-paw-ver gravity," I heard my cocky cat ask the akuma.

       "I didn't discover gravity! I am Gravity!" He yelled.

     "Whatever fills your litter box."

    The akuma was boiling with rage, so I decided to step in. "I hope you know that you can't argue with gravity unless you have some air resistance," I said sassily.

     "Well then let us be Gravities, air resistance, M'lady," Chat grinned at me.

     There was no more words except for "Lucky Charm!"

Time skip

    "That's enough evil doing for you little akuma," I said. "Time to remove evil! Gotcha! Bye bye little butterfly, and finally... Miraculous Ladybug!"

     Everything returned to its normal state and with only a minute to spare! Chat has already taken off and only Adrien and Alya were here. The akuma took place at a construction sight near the school.

      Before Alya could ask any questions, I began to run away, but I fell down when my foot hit a hole. I got up slowly and my earrings beeped.

     "We're finally going to see who Ladybug is," Alya said excitedly. "I need to video this for my blog."

     Luckily Adrien threw me a blanket right as it wore off and I covered myself. Alya began to come closer, but Adrien hopped in front of me and said,

    "Alya, STOP! You don't know anything about Ladybug and what kind of life she leads when she isn't saving Paris! If she has friends or family, they could get hurt! If Hawkmoth found out by akumatizing someone she knew, we'd put her world in danger!"

      Wow, I thought. He is actually standing up for me. I turned my eyes a little bit and I saw a black creature in Adrien's pocket. I looked away and quickly looked back again. It wasn't just any creature! It was a kwami! Why does Adrien have a kwami? That mean he's-. The kwami put its hand up to its lip to make a shhhhh gesture. I nodded quickly and looked away.

     I heard Alya say, "Fine." When I started listening to the conversation again. "Is there anything I can do for you Ladybug as your #1 fan?"

     "Yes, I need something for my kwami to eat so I can transform again," I said quickly.

     "Yeah sure! What does it eat?" Alya asked quickly.

      "She'll eat anything, but she prefers chocolate chip cookies."

      "On it!"

     I heard Alya run off and I started to take off the blanket, but Adrien touched me on the back.

     "I wouldn't do that."

     "Oh, thanks."

     I was blushing madly. I'm still Ladybug to him, so I'll be fine... just fine...

    Okay I am not fine. He doesn't know who I am and he is only Chat Noir. Oh my gosh, but he is also Adrien Agrest! My crush! If he figured out who I was and how many times I have rejected him as Chat Noir... I'll never have a chance with him!

     I heard footsteps running my way and I quickly hid completely under the blanket.

     "Here are the chocolate chip cookies that you asked for," Alya told me while sitting the plate next to me. I waited for her to back up and gave Tikki a cookie.

     She gobbled it up quickly and I said, "Tikki, Spots on!"

      I transformed into Ladybug and gave the blanket back to Chat No- I mean Adrien. I swung my yoyo towards a roof, said a quick thank you, and swung off.

Time skip- next day, 1st hour of school

       I walked in the room, late as usual, and saw Adrien. I have to play it cool. I started to walk up to my desk and of course, tripped over my own feet. The whole class started laughing and my face was red as I got up.

      "Hey Maritrash, try to walk next time," Chloe said meanly. Tears filled my eyes, but I wouldn't let them spill. I walked up to my seat and sat down. 

      "Don't listen to them girl," Alya told me trying to make me feel better. I only nodded in reply.

      Adrien turned around and said, "Hey Mari, don't listen to Chloe, just ignore her."

      I imagined him as Chat and said, "Thanks for the advice, I'll take it."

      Adrien smiled and smiled turned around and Alya just gasped at me. That was probably the first normal sentence that I have said to him, so I don't blame her. I looked at Adrien. I don't think I'll tell him that I know. It could create a whole world of problems.

Marinette POV

I thought back to the mans reaction

to seeing me. It was almost as if he knew me, but that's impossible. I groaned loudly and flopped onto my bed. It's 1:00 in the morning and I'm still thinking about this. I had a baggy Chiefs shirt on that I stole from my dad's closet. He got it from when he went to a football game in America. I just don't see what is so appealing about that violent sport. I also had a pair of gray tights on. I don't have pjs that go together like most people.

     "Marinette, you're worrying about this too much," my kwami, Tikki, told me.

      "I know, but it was like that guy new me," I replied. I tugged at my shirt and sighed. We were in a real pickle there. If it wasn't for my Lucky Charm, our identities would be revealed right now. I'm glad that memory spray was an obvious solution. And Chaton, oh my gosh! Chat! I never checked on him! I hope he's alright!

      I decided to call him on my yoyo.

    "Tikki, spots on," I sighed.

    My Ladybug suit went on me immediately and I grabbed my yoyo. I dialed Chat and let it ring. After about 8 rings the voice mail came on saying 'This is Chat Noir, leave a message- beeeeeeep (laughs in the background)' the phone beeped on its own this time and I began to talk.

     "Hey Chat, um well, it's, uh, me Ladybug- you know buggaboo, and uh, I was calling to see if you're alright, and uh, I think you are because I mean you're Chat Noir and can do anything. I mean you haven't caused a cat-astrophe yet, right? Anyway this is Ladybug, wait I already said that... well bye." I smacked my face. I rambled through that whole thing and said a cat pun to make it worse.

     The voice mail lady said, "Press 1 to delete message, press 2 to send message, press 3 to retry message."

     I was so upset at myself that I didn't hear what she said so I took a guess and pressed two. She then said, 'message delivered.'

      "No!" I screamed a little too loudly.

      "Did you hear that, Tom," I heard a muffled voice say underneath me.

      "Hear what, Sabine," my dad replied.

       "I thought I heard a scream," my mom replied. "I'm going to go check on Marinette."

       Oh crap! "Tikki, spots off!" I whispered. My suit staid on and I heard footsteps. "Spots off!" I whisper shouted. Once again my suit staid on. "Tikki! I said spots off! I'm not joking!"

     My trap door started to open and I heard my mom say 'Marinette.'

      Not knowing what to do, I quickly turned off my light, stuck a baggy shirt and sweats on, put on my sleeping mask, and crawled in bed. Some how I managed to do this all before the trap door was open.

       I heard my mom walk up to me and I tried to stay as still as possible. I heard her say something about her ears growing old and left. The moment the trap door closed, I let out a huge sigh of relief. I quickly turned on my lamp and tried to call Tikki off again, but with no result. I began to think. According to Chat, we can hold our form for about 4 hours if we don't use our powers and I can't risk my parents coming up here again. I also can't go outside and use it because all of Paris is on the hunt for me. This is extremely inconvenient. I guess I will just have to sleep in this. I groaned for what seemed the 100th time today. This was going to be a long 4 hours.

Adrien POV

    I was sleeping peacefully until Plagg came up to me saying, 'Ring Ring.'

    "Shut up Plagg, it's one in the morining," I told him grumbly.

    He ignored me and said, 'Ring Ring' seven more times until he stopped. He then held still for a minute until he said, "voicemail delivered." He looked at me for a minute and then said, "it's rude not to answer the phone."

   I stared at him like he's crazy. "What are you talking about?" I asked.

   "Just turn into Chat Noir," he said glaring at me.

   "Fine, Plagg claws out!" I transformed into Chat Noir and my baton was buzzing. That meant I had a voice mail.

    I opened up my phone and clicked on the voice mail that I had from M'lady. I blushed at the thought that she called me. This was really cat-tastic!

     "Hey Chat, um well, it's, uh, me Ladybug- you know buggaboo, and uh, I was calling to see if you're alright, and uh, I think you are because I mean you're Chat Noir and can do anything. I mean you haven't caused a cat-astrophe yet, right? Anyway this is Ladybug, wait I already said that... well bye."

      I burst out laughing after hearing her voicemail. She sounded like Marinette in that voicemail. LB even said a cat pun to top it all off! My day has just been made.

    I wiped the tears of laughter from my eyes and decided to call her back. I dialed her number and it only had to ring once until she picked up. 'Chat?'

    "Yes M'lady. It is I, the one 'who can do anything'," I replied laughing. Instead of a snarky comeback or any reply at all, I heard silence. "Are you okay?"

    "Try changing back."

    "Excuse me?"

     "Just do it, Chat, please."

     "Alright, Plagg claws in!" I yelled. I waited for a minute and nothing happened, so I tried again. "Plagg, claws in!" Nothing happened again. "What's going on M'lady?"

   "You're not changing back either then?" She asked over the phone.

    "Nope."

    "I was hoping that it would just be me," she sighed. "How did you even know that I called you in your civilian form?"

    "Oh, Plagg just came up to me saying 'Ring Ring' a whole bunch of times," I replied.

    "Is Plagg the name of your kwami?" Ladybug asked.

     "Yes, and he is annoying might I say... what about you? What's your kwami like?" I asked.

     "Oh Tikki? She is wonderful and very encouraging! She'll eat anything I give her, but her favorite is chocolate chip cookies," Ladybug said gushing about her kwami.

    "Really! No fair," I whined. "All my kwami will eat is Camembert and he is so lazy!"

    Ladybug laughed at this. "Well I guess all kwami's have personalities of their own!"

     I sighed. This was nice, just talking to Ladybug like this. This was a good way to get to know her!

Time Skip- after 3 hours of talking

   "And then I said, that's cat-tastic!" I said loudly over the phone and Ladybug was laughing really hard over the end. I was laughing really hard myself. I heard Ladybug sighing heavily to calm herself down, so her parents wouldn't come up again. Her mom has already came up twice to check on her.

   "This is really nice Chat," Ladybug told me sweetly. "I have never talked to anyone except for my best friend so long."

    "I have enjoyed this two," I replied. "It's too bad that we can't talk like this in our civilian form."

    "Yes, it's too bad..." Ladybug said quietly.

   As if on cue to ruin our moment, both of our miraculous weapons beeped, signifying that we had a text message. Curious, I clicked it open. What I read put me in shock.

               I know who you are.

Bernard POV

    "We now know that Chat Noir is part of the Junior class, Hawkmoth," I said trying and failing at putting enthusiasm into my voice.

      Hawkmoth, who had his back pointing at me and was staring at the window, turned around and smiled slyly. He had his cane positioned in front of him all sinister like and had his miraculous costume on.

      "This is excellent," Hawkmoth said with enthusiasm. I glowered at him when he turned back to the window. How do people do that? "Now all I have to do is akumatize whoever is left in that class and I can make Chat Noir give me his miraculous to me himself! I am a pure genius!" Hawkmoth kept smiling to himself proudly, as if it was the most foolproof plan on the world.

     I sighed. There was no guarantee that this would work. We don't even know where Ladybug is. I need to cause more chaos. I double- no triple the reward. There will be no escape.

     I looked over at Hawkmoth and straightened my glasses. He was still smiling. He is so much like his son- whether he knows it or not.  They have that same cocky smile, but Hawkmoths' was more sinister.

Ladybugs POV

     Chat Noir was already at our roof meeting spot when I got there. We always meet on the red roof in between the Eiffel Tower and the school. I also noticed that instead of the usual cocky smile that he wore, he had a angry frown. Uh oh.

       "Where were you?" He asked me angrily.

       "Um Chat, I'm on time," I told him looking at him weird.

       "No, I'm talking about yesterday night," he said sounding even angrier.

       "I thought that I called and told you that I couldn't be on patrol because of last minute family issues," I responded at him giving him a even more weirder our face.

       Chat squinted his greed eyes and clenched his leather gloved fist in frustration. "I'm talking about the akuma attack!"

     My bluebell eyes widened at the memory and I remember that evil feeling washing over me when I was akumatized. I shivered.

     "I-I was um, uh, well, uh, I can't be there every time... you don't know where I am during the day..." I said quickly.

      "Then why are you always around when there is other akuma attacks?" He questioned.

      "Because I was around the area," I told him clenching my red with black pokadotted fist. "You know, I could be asking you the same thing."

       Chat seemed taken aback by this. "Well, uh, you know, hey I asked you first."

      I rolled my eyes for a response. Boys are so dumb, well except for Adrien. Adrien is so perfect and smart and cool- unlike Mr. Puns over here.

"Let's just leave this issue alone," I said trying to make peace.

"You know, you look like someone I have seen before..." Char started.

My heart skipped a beat. Did he figure it out? I was at the akuma attack because I was the akuma. Oh no. No I have to through him off my trail. But how?

"You know what? Never mind. I have seen you two together before, so it is impossible," Chat told me.

"Who were you referring to?" I asked.

"It's nothing. Never mind," he said holding his chin with his gloved hand. "Let's go on patrol now then."

I grabbed my yoyo and him his staff and we took off threw-out Paris. After a few minutes of swing and jumping threw Paris, Chat and I heard screams. We both looked at each other and ran towards the nearby screams.

When we arrived, we saw three people bound together with ropes with gags in their mouths. For people tied up, they seemed pretty calm. We heard a click of a trigger being pulled and a voice that said, "Put your hands in the air and turn around slowly."

Chat and I looked at each other and put our hands in the air. When we turned around, we saw a man in a mask. He was holding two guns, both of them pointing straight at our faces. Behind us, we heard the sound of ropes being undone and the pulling of triggers. Great, the hostages were in on it.

"Now take off your miraculous and lay it on the ground," said the man in the mask.

"What will you do if we don't?" Chat asked, challenging the man.

"We will shoot, kill, and learn your identities anyway," said the man calmly. "We will also get a lot of money."

"If we try to take you on?" I asked.

"One of my comrades will shoot you from behind without hesitation," he replied.

"Why are you doing this," I cried out. I am getting really worried now.

"Why else," he chuckled. "For the money, didn't I already mention that?"

Of course. That is all society cares about anymore. People have been trying to catch us, but not to this extent.

I leaned over to Chat and whispered in his ear, "You go first and make a real big show out of it... I promise I won't look."

"I hope you have a plan M'lady," he told me. "Okay fools! I'll go first, but this is a complicated process! First we need to get a 100 feet away from Ladybug..."

I watched them walk away and said "lucky charm" under my breath and a bottle fell into my hands. I quickly read the label before the man in the mask ran up to me.

"Any complicated processes to take of yours?" He asked.

I shook my head no and took out my earrings. I immediately turned into Marinette and the man stared at me and dropped his gun. I put my miraculous on the floor and the man quickly recovered. All his friends quickly ran over to get a good look at me, the middle one I noticed was holding Chats ring, and I took the opportunity to spray them all with the substance in the bottle. They all collapsed and I grabbed Chats ring and my earrings. I put them in, threw my charm in the air even though there was nothing to fix, and yelled for chat and swung off.

Adrien POV

I can't believe what happened! How did my message change so much? I have to find Mari and make things right. I twisted and turned- hoping that I was taking the right path. I mean come on! This mansion is crazy big! It puts mine to shame.

I kept running until I found a door to an outside porch. The perfect place for a girl to cry in peace. I walked through the door not to find Mari, by an akumatized Mari in her place.

"Marinette?" I asked cautiously.

"I am not Marinette! I am Demotion!" Demotion replied in a commanding tone. "Now it's time to get rid of your emotions!"

    Marinette- I mean Demotion, sent a dark red magical stream towards me and I barely dodged it. She kept on sending magic at me, one stream after another.

    "Come on out Adrien. I just want to give you a small taste of what pain you gave me," Demotion said. "Oh what am I saying? It will be a 100 times the pain you gave me!"

    I made a run for it. I ran down the hall, turned the corner and went threw the nearest doorway.

    "Come out come out," I heard Demotion say.

   "Plag claws out!" I said in a hurry.

   I immediately transformed into Chat Noir and hopped out the window. I have to get down to the party before she does! I broke threw a window (what? Ladybug will fix it later) and ran to the ball room where they were holding the party.

    "Everyone needs to evacuate," I yelled the moment I got in there.

    Everyone turned towards me, but there was no panic in their expression. There wasn't any kind of expression to be exact. They all looked blank. The only emotion that I heard and saw was Chloe sitting in against the wall, crying and screaming. Mascara was running down her face and her hair was a mess. She was screaming bloody murder and holding her chest in agony. Whatever she is feeling must be awful! Not even Chloe deserves that kind of pain.

    "What do you think, Chat Noir?" Demotion asked me. "I have saved these people from feeling hurt and sadness and punished that wicked person over there with a million times the pain I suffered from that horrible Agrest boy! Now where is he!"

    "I don't mew," I said trying to think of something to do about this fast. "Maybe in the kitty box?"

    Demotion rolled her eyes and said, "Silly kitty, will you ever learn?"

     Wait a minute. Why did that sound so familiar? If I didn't know any better, I would think that she is Lady-

     Before I could finish my thought, Demotion shot a blue beam at me.

    "As thanks for saving Paris over and over again, I will take away your sorrow and your miraculous!" Demotion told me as if I were supposed to be grateful.

   "No need to cause a catastrophe," I replied to her, quickly dodging her blue beams. Where is Ladybug?!

   I looked at her to see what the akumatized object could be. That's when I noticed that her hair ribbons were glowing. That must be where it is! If I can just destroy the ribbons and capture the akuma in a jar... then I will get praise from LB and save the part! I am such a genius.

     Demotion kept on shooting streams of blue magic and I dodged them all with ease. I did a flip, grabbed a jar, did another flip so I was behind Demotion, grabbed her hair ribbons, did yet another flip and called upon cataclysm, destroyed the ribbons and watched the akuma fly out, did a final flip and caught the akuma in the jar and said "Gotcha."

      I can now see why Ladybug loves capturing akuma now. It feels really good. I turned around and saw that everyone one was looking around at each other confused. Yes! They're confused! That's an emotion! Chloe was in the corner passed out from all that crying and As for Mari, she was sitting down, her hair for some reason was perfect, looking stunned. She moved her head around and saw me with the akuma in the jar. Her eyes widened. Oh no, she probably just realized what happened. Just great.

     Bernard walked up to me and asked, "what the heavens just happened here?"

    "Don't worry Sir," I replied, "Just a minor akuma situation."

    "Is Ladybug here," he asked eyeing the akuma in the jar.

    "No, a matter of fact, I have no idea where she is," I told Bernard truthfully.

     "I see. Well young man, I thank you for your service and don't mind the window!"

     I blushed in embarrassment and my ring beeped. Time to go! I gave one last look at Mari, who was looking down at her hands crying while Nino and Alya were trying to comfort her, and left the building. Ladybug had some explaining to do

Marinette's POV

     I have to say, Adrien is a great dancer. Aside from the butt touching part, it was a fun night so far. It was so fun that I nearly forgot what I heard on the phone... almost. We were in the middle of jamming out to a fast song, when Bernard turned off the music and grabbed the microphone.

"Hello everyone," he said. "Are you all having a good time?"

Everyone cheered in response.

"Good, good then!" He said trying and failing at putting enthusiasm in his voice. "Now I know I might sound like a needy grandpa for this, but do you all want to play a game?"

Everyone cheered.

"Excellent, that makes very excited," Bernard said not sounding very excited. "Let's play an oldy but a goody, telephone."

Everyone groaned- me especially. Who plays telephone anymore? All you do is sit in a circle and the first person in the circle comes up with a secret and whispers it into the persons ear next to him/her. Then that person tells the next person and so on and so forth. Once it gets to the last person in the circle, that person stands up and says what they heard when the secret is whispered into his/her ear. If they get it right then yay them but no prize and the same if they don't get it.

"Oh come on now, everyone get into a circle," Bernard said- still trying to put some enthusiasm into his voice. "Wait one minute... I want Adrien to start and Marinette to finish."

What was with that, I thought to myself. Everyone got into a circle and sat down.

"Ok Adrien, you may start."

I sat there waiting and wondering what he was saying. I looked and saw that Nino was whispering the secret to Alya. Just to my luck, I had Chloe sitting next to me. It seemed to take forever and then Chloe finally whispered it to me. I waited for a minute, listening to her whisper the secret. When she finally finished, I looked at her in shock, but all I saw was the face she makes when she is telling a sweet truth- not a lie. Tears began to fill my eyes. Did Adrien actually say that? Did he really convey that message through a telephone game? Is he really that heartless?

"Ok now stand up and say it," Bernard said with a little joy and Adrien gave me a wink.

"Marinette is the ugliest and most annoying person I know. I wish she would stop bugging me." I said now crying.

(Sorry if this seems lame, but I'm trying to keep this story free of cussing or any other kind of inappropriate content...)

Everyone on the right side of Alya gasped and everyone on the left looked grim. I didn't stick around for an explanation, I just ran out of the room as fast as I could. I didn't care where I was going, I just needed to get away from them. Away from Adrien.

I kept running and running taking more and more turns (I mean how big is this Mansion?!) until I finally found a door that lead outside. It was a little porch in the air that was really high up, so it's a perfect place for me to be sad in peace.

I collapsed against the wall and began to cry many silent tears. I buried my head into my legs and kept crying into the darkness. It always seemed to make me feel better, but it wasn't helping this time. I just kept crying and crying until I heard a voice in the back of my head. I new deep down that it was Hawkmoth, but I was so emotionally distressed that I listened to him.

You poor poor girl. You were having such a good time, but he rudely conveyed his feelings to you. I can give you the power to take away all emotion, so no one can suffer what you are. What do you say?

And what seemed against my will I said, "Yes Hawkmoth."

A swirl of purple surrounded me and I lost all my will of consciousness.

Adrien POV

I can't believe what happened! How did my message change so much? I have to find Mari and make things right. I twisted and turned- hoping that I was taking the right path. I mean come on! This mansion is crazy big! It puts mine to shame.

I kept running until I found a door to an outside porch. The perfect place for a girl to cry in peace. I walked through the door not to find Mari, by an akumatized Mari in her place.

"Marinette?" I asked cautiously.

"I am not Marinette! I am-"

Adrienne POV

I am so dumb. I forgot to ask Marinette to the dance. I bet Nathaniel asked her already! I am so freakin dumb! Well I guess I can ask her to dance... yeah! I think I'll do that.

I pulled my blue tie into place and looked into the mirror. I had on a black suit, shoes, and a blue tie to pull it all together. I wanted to wear a red tie, but my father told me that I looked horrid in it and that blue complemented my green eyes. I sighed at the memory.

"Why so glum, chum?" Plag asked me rhyming. For some reason he has been really into rhyming lately.

"It's nothing. I just forgot to ask Mari to the dance," I replied.

"So your so glum because your dumb?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Maybe some Camembert will help you- wait a minute... what rhymes with Camembert?" Plag started. "Spirit? No. Um, maybe moral? No, that's not even close! Maybe..."

I stopped listening. At least he tried to make me feel better- I think. I grabbed Plag and stuffed him in a hidden pocket in my suit. Before he could yell rhyme at me (yes it's a thing) I put a piece of Camembert in with him.

I have my self one last look in the mirror, looked at my watch which said 7:55, and walked out the door and got in my limo. It takes about five minutes to get to Bernard's mansion, so I got on my phone and looked at the news. I scrolled through for 2 minutes, but there was nothing interesting. I decided to listen to the theme song from Ouran High School Host Club, my favorite anime. I take advice from Kaneki and put it into my Chat Noir character. After about a minute, the song began to play.

"Kiss, Kiss fall in love!

Maybe you're my love!

I see you come, I watch you go

You never seem to leave me though

So is this love or hate

We'll see you're making me crazy

Inside my dreams, you're all I see

Well, all I see is you and me

Lady, maybe, or host

I find I really don't mind

If I had to choose a rose

In this garden of romance

Maybe we could take this chance

Maybe you're my love!

And I would like to find

A hand like yours to take mine

And with one kiss

We could stop time

And I'd fall in love with you

Tomorrow's far away

Let's place our hope in today

Just you and me

In a beautiful spring

And we'll always fall in love, again

I'm searching for the other you

The one that nobody else knew

But I'm afraid of what I'll find

Don't leave me behind

Silent or cute or mischievous

Or cool or even princely type Each time we part

I lose my mind

My resolve falters

Every time that our eyes meet

My heart skips a beat

I'm not sure about you yet

But, I know you're my love

When we're too busy

To talk I just imagine

A sakura kiss

Love that's too wonderful

To ever bear alone

Our fears will go away

Our love is strongest today

Just you and me

In a wonderful spring

And we'll always fall in love, again

Let's create some new memories together

That we'll remember, always

Maybe you're my love...

And I would like to find

A hand like yours to take mine

And with one kiss

We could stop time

And I'd fall in love with you

Tomorrow's far away

Let's place our hope in today

Just you and me

In a beautiful spring

And we'll always fall in love, again

Yeah

And we'll always fall in love, again

Kiss, Kiss fall in love!

Maybe you're my love!" (Sakura Kiss)

I sang the whole song twice! I don't know why I love the song so much. Maybe it's because it annoys my father. Anyway we pulled up in front of Bernard's mansion at exactly 8:00. I'm going to ask Mari to dance with me. The only thing between us is Chloe. Chloe doesn't worry me too much because I don't think she really likes me. I bet she would like any rich guy that came hopping her way. The only reason I put up with her is because she was my first friend.

I walked up to the door, straightened my tie, and walked in. To my surprise, nearly everyone was there- even Marinette. The party was in full swing. Nino came up to me dancing, he was wearing a black suit with a white undershirt and green tie. He was still wearing his headphones around his neck though.

"He put on a sick party for an old guy," Nino exclaimed to me- still dancing.

"Yeah, it looks great," I replied. I was about to ask where Mari went off to because I didn't see her, when I felt a light tap on my shoulder. It was Alya with Mari by her side.

I was completely blown away by how she looked. Her short red dress was stunning and she had her hair in her usual pigtails. I immediately got mad at myself for not wearing the red tie.

A slow song came on and Alya gave me the "you better dance with her or else" look. I gulped. How could a sweet girl like Marinette have such a scary best friend.

"Would you like to dance Marinette?" I asked her shyly.

"D-dance? Wi- with you? Of c-course be-because you're perfect- wait I mean wonderful! No wait! I mean you're -" I cut her off there by grabbing her hand and pulling her to my chest. Marinette immediately stiffened, but after about 30 seconds she began to loosen up. I have to say, Mari is a great dancer. Compared to Chloe (who is my usual dance partner who seems to have a habit of stepping on my feet) Mari is easy to dance with and followed my lead well. I was enjoying my self so much that I was really disappointed when the song was over.

Marinette looked up at me and I got a good look at her blue eyes. They were stunning. I was immediately happy that I wore the blue tie now. They matched her beautiful eyes perfectly. Mari began to blush madly and me with her. A fast song has started up and I was still holding her. But that was not the problem... I was holding her butt. I immediately let go blushing madly. Mari just stood there going an even deeper shade of red.

"I'm so sorry Marinette," I exclaimed with my face burning. "I promise I'm not a perve!"

(I got semi angry writing this... sorry if you don't like this part. It's all about development.)

"That's okay," she said quietly. She the. Began to walk towards me. "I know you're not that kind of person." Her face began to turn back to normal and she smiled. "Come on! Let's go dance!"

Mari grabbed my arm and dragged me out to the dance floor. I smiled. Mari was truly a wonderful person. (Seeeeeeeee!!! What did I tell you!)

Hawkmoth POV

"It's almost time my little akuma," Hawkmoth said to his little butterfly. "I have chosen my prey! I have never done it to her before and it shouldn't take to much effort to break her heart..."

"I will do my part well sir," Bernard said over the phone. "If you want a broken heart... you shall get one."

"That puts me at ease knowing that you're in charge." Hawkmoth told him. "I will now tell you who I want my next victim is... her name is-"

Natsu POV

"Come on lucy!" I said grabbing her hand and dragging her away.

"Wait a minute! Where are we going," Lucy questioned me pulling back.

"We're going on a hundred year quest!"

-time skip... 4 months later-

"We're getting no where with this!" Lucy wined. "We are never find Aquarius' key at this rate!"

"Well it is called a hundred year quest for a reason," Erza scorned her. "Now come on! Put your backs into it!"

Lucy began to whine again and I laughed to myself- no sooner to find that I was getting light headed. What's going on, I thought. I haven't hit my head recently or anything... I staggered a little bit and caught myself on a tree. The moment I touched it though... it turned to ash.

Ever since Lucy wrote the demon out of me, my powers have been increasing. If you thought I was strong before, it's nothing to what I am now. Erza won't even let me help them work because I might "damage" the evidence. So now I'm just stuck sitting and waiting for us to move. Not even Happy will come near me because he thinks that I'll burn his "pretty paws" off.

"Then how am I going to hug Carla?" He said then.

I sat down and put my head between my knees to try to make the spinning stop, but it wouldn't. I was totally oblivious to everyone circling around me asking if I was okay. The spinning would not stop! I tried closing my eyes, but even the darkness was spinning. A pain then began to sear my head and I wanted to scream, but the sound wouldn't come. I just wanted it to end! I opened my eyes, but only saw darkness. I looked around. I heard a loud and high, ongoing ring in my ears. I brought my hands up to my ears and felt wetness. What the heck was going on?! I began to cough up what tasted like blood. Is this the end?

Grays POV

I was sitting under a tree in the shade, when a saw ash fly by me in the breeze. Great! What did Natsu burn this time? I went in the opposite direction of the ash to find Natsu.

"When I get my hands on him," I grumbled to myself.

I walked through the trees until I saw a shadowed human like figure on the ground holding their head between their knees.

"Natsu?" I asked

I slowly walked up to the person and saw a pile of ash next to him. Oh my gosh that is Natsu! I ran up to him and began to shake him.

"Natsu! Natsu! Hey man! Are you okay? Talk to me!"

Blood began to stream out of his ears and plenty of it.

"Wendy!" I screamed. "Wendy, get over here! It's Natsu, something's wrong!"

Natsu fell over and began to cough up blood.

     "Wendy!" I screamed again shaking Natsu.

      Wendy burst through the trees with Carla, Erza, Happy, and Lucy in pursuit. They were all glaring at me out of breath until their eyes hit Natsu.

     "Oh my gosh! Natsu!" Wendy said. "I'll heal him right away."

     -Adrienne's POV-

"Soooo, who ya going ta ask to the dance?" Plag asked me nonchalantly.

    "I don't know," I told him, wondering what got him so interested all of a sudden. "Why do you ask?"

    "So you don't mind if I pick for you?" He asked me completely ignoring my question.

    "Believe it or not I do mind!" I yelled at Plag. I took a deep breath and then said, "Who do you have in mind?"

    "How bout that Marinette girl?" Plag said slyly.

   "What about her?"

   "Well don't ya like her?"

    I laughed at his misunderstanding. "You got it all wrong Plag! We're just friends! You know I love Ladybug!"

     "Ya, ya, whatever you say," he told me sleepily. "You can't take Ladybug to the dance so I just thought since Mari was cute and all that..."

     I stopped listening after that. Plag did have a point, I can't take LB to the dance and I didn't exactly want to take Chloe ... Hmmmm. You know what? I will ask Mari to the dance and not because Plag said so.

      I looked over at the clock and saw that it was 8:00 AM. If I hurry I could ask her before class started. I then groaned at the next thought that came to me. Marinette is never early.

   -Marinette's POV-

  "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" I yelled as I ran out the door that leads out of my bakery with Tiki in pursuit.

   "Marinette!" Tiki yelled at me in her squeaky voice, struggling to carry my hair brush, "Your hair!"

    I felt my hair and had a knotted mess in return. I didn't have any ribbons or ponytail holders so having it down will have to do. I brushed through my hair quickly and then realized something. This would be the first time that anyone would see my hair down. Not even Alya has seen it that way.

    When I made it to the school, I quickly put Tiki and my hair brush in my bag. I took out my phone and looked at my reflection. I honestly didn't look so bad. I had put on a black shirt with a light red jacket over it. My midnight blue hair contrasted well with it. I was also wearing my blue jean jeggings and black sneakers. For not knowing what I was doing in the morning, I did a pretty good job.

    I stuffed my phone in my pocket and ran through the door and up the stairs to my class. I looked and saw that the Bernard guy was there in Miss Bustiers place. When he dropped his pen and went down to pick it up, I quietly ran through the door and up to my seat.

"Where have you been girl?" Alya asked me.

"What can I say... I slept in again..." I replied sheepishly.

Alya rolled her eyes at me and we turned our attention back to Bernard.

"Now it has been a while and I decided to hear the report from you charming students myself," Bernard said.

Alya raised her hand and said, "No progress sir."

"Anyone else have better news?" he asked.

He looked around the room only to see people shaking their heads side to side. He groaned and put his hand on his face.

"I guess I have no choice..." he started, "I'm going to raise the reward by another million."

Everyone's mouth dropped open in shock. With that kind of money I might even turn myself in. The only person that didn't seem awestruck by this was Adrien. I guess that makes sense, given that he was already rich.

"Seeing that you all have some motivation... I am going to remind you that the Junior dance is at my mansion at 5 o'clock" Bernard told us smiling.

(Sorry if I got that wrong... I wasn't sure if she was a sophomore or a Junior...)

Everyone began to cheer at the reminder. We haven't had a dance since we were in 8th grade! This is going to be so epic!

Bernard smiled and walked out of door and Mrs Bustier walked in. "Ok settle down class and open you books to page..."

-time skip-

It is now 4 o'clock and I need to get ready for the dance. I looked through my closet and found nothing cute. I groaned. This is what I get for just wearing jeans all the time. Arg!

As if on cue, my mom walked into the room holding something behind her back.

"What's that mom," I questioned.

"Well knowing you, I know that you don't have any good dresses, so I have been saving one for this kind of occasion," my mom told me.

She brought out her hands and I gasped. It was probably the prettiest dress I have ever seen.

(At the end you will see what it looks like)

        "Thank you mom!" I screeched as I went in to hug her.

        "Don't thank me yet," she laughed. "Hurry up and try it on!"

     I laughed and took the dress from her. This dance was going to be amazing!

                -time skip-

   My dad drove me up to Bernard's mansion and told me that he would pick me up at 8. I kissed him on the cheek and he drove away. I looked at my phone and saw that I was actually early for once. It was 4:50.

     I walked up to the mansion and looked through a window. I saw that nobody was there yet. I tugged on the handle and saw that it was unlocked so I walked in. I closed the door quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone, and began to look around. I heard a voice that sounded like Bernard's and for reasons I don't know, I hid behind a giant flower vase.

    "Yes hawkmoth, things are going smoothly," Bernard said to the phone which must have Hawkmoth on the other end.

   Wait a second, HAWKMOTH! I screamed at my self internally wondering what the heck was going on.

     "I will know if Ladybug and Chat Noir are in there class by their reaction time, so please be sure that you send the akuma right on time," Bernard said to Hawkmoth. "We will know by the end of the month who Ladybug and Chat Noir are."

    I bumped into the vase in shock and it started to rotate. I put my hand over my mouth and waited for my fate. Luckily it didn't fall, but it made some noise. Footsteps headed my way, but I was literally saved by the bell, the door bell.
