After my nephew watched "Volpina" for the hundredth time, an interesting scenario occurred to me:
And if Ladybug hadn't gone to deny the liar- I mean, Lila.
THAT! Is an interesting idea.
(What if Marinette didn't expose Lila in Volpina?)
-Marinette wanted to expose Lila for her blatant lies. She HATED liars. And misleading Adrien like this was wrong.
-But Tikki pointed out that this is not their business, and that she needs to be the bigger person. They needed to get this book to someone.
-Marinette felt her nerves twitch, but despite wanting to just go in as ladybug and Expose that B****. She would hold back.Ā
-They took the book and left. (Taking it to Fu)
-Adrien listened to Lila go on about Volpina, and how she was her. (Even Adrien felt his patience starting to thin).
-He tells her that He is flattered that she would tell him all of this, but she should be careful on who she tells about her secret.Ā āDon't most heroes, keep it hidden?ā He flashes to his times with LadybugĀ āEven if you really trust them.ā
-Lila uses this as a chance, saying that she can feel aĀ āConnection to himā a trust that can be deeper than anyone else. She couldn't help herself but to tell him the truth.
-Adrien is surprised by the confession. He tells her he is flattered but he has someone else he is interested in, hoping they can stay friends. He promises to keep her secret. He leaves, hoping he didn't crush her feelings.Ā
-Adrien comments that he feels bad, he never turned down a hero before.
-āWait you actually believed her?ā Plagg comments.
-āYea, she had a miraculous.ā
-āShe clearly didn't. The Guardian would have told her Kwami to never tell anyone her secret identity. Especially some random person she just met.ā
-Plagg realized he said too much. But then remembers the book and WHY it could be important.Ā
-āMeh, doesn't matter. We should take that book to him anyway. He might be able to translate it or see if its garbage.ā
Adrien figures he can be a little late getting home as long as he has the book. So He takes the bag (Not checking if the book is inside) and listens toĀ plaggās directions.
______________________________________________________________________
-Marinette is there earlier then before. Fu and Her interaction are pretty much the same as in canon. He explains a bit of lore. He explains the other miraculous.
-Just when Fu asks about the book. There is a knock on the door.
-Fu Tells them to stand there and he will handle it.
-He opens the door to see Adrien.
-āAre you the guardian?
-Fu blinks, he wasn't expecting both heroes. He was expecting Marinette, because he saw her earlier (in princess fragrance) But not Adrien.
-Marinette heard the voice. She kind of moves, curious on who it is. She looks and sees Adrien! Why was Adrien here? Oh wait, Fu pretended to be a vet, maybe Adrien found a sick kitten. That must be it.
-Fu kind of freezes, since he had not planned for it, and plagg pops out. Telling the master he has a thing for him
-Marinette sees the kwami, falls over.
-Adrien looks to the sound, Seeing Marinette.
_____________________________________________________________________
-Lila growls, her attempts to win Adrien over have failed. She is not as furious as she was in canon. She didn't get exposed, but she was festering. It was the first time her lies didn't Woo someone. She went through all of that effort for nothing. (I imagine it takes a bit longer for her to get mad
-I figure after a bit of stewing when she gets home, Hawkmoth then picks up on her negative emotions. Then he transforms her into volpina.
(What happens after that, is in Part 2)
