Trick or Treat
My Halloween gift for you all. In which Adrien deserves love, Plagg needs to tone it down, Hawkmoth canāt take a holiday off and the Black Cat ghosts are Adrienās true parents.Ā
āIs it that time of year already?ā Plagg asked gleefully as Adrien decorated his room. āYep! Iām so excited, Plagg!ā Adrien replied. āAll this is a long way from how we used to celebrate Hallowās Eve.ā Jean recalled. āWhat did you use to do?ā Adrien asked.
āWeād light fires, chasing away the demons. Then we had the danse macabre, where people dressed as corpses.ā Jean explained. An uncomfortable silence followed.
āAnyway....Iām just happy thisāll be my first Halloween with you guys.ā Adrien finally said. āThatās all?ā Plagg asked. āDonāt walk into it, itās a trap.ā Hei Mao muttered. āWhat do you mean, Plagg?ā Adrien asked. āToo late.ā Bastet groaned. āYouāre a Black Cat, Adrien! And as such, you are a staple of Halloween! This is YOUR holiday!! You shall haunt the streets of Paris!!ā Plagg ranted dramatically.
āWhat Plagg means to say is that we are also excited to spend Halloween with you, Adrien,ā Felix said. āSo, what are you guys dressing up as?ā Adrien asked enthusiastically. The Cats all looked at each other, confused. āWhat?ā They all asked in unison. āYou know, what costume are you gonna wear!ā Adrien replied. āWe...never really have.ā Hei Mao said slowly.
āYouāve NEVER dressed up for Halloween?!ā Adrien asked incredulously. āWell, weāre ghosts,ā Antiope said. āAnd historical figures,ā Alex added. āAnd technically superheroes.ā Aladdin continued. āSo, three in one, right? We can just be ourselves.ā Hei Mao decreed. āThatās kinda cheating.ā Adrien remarked, āCome on, you have to dress up!ā āWeāll see...ā
A week later, it was Halloween and Adrien woke up to a very surprising sight. All the Cats had dressed up! Aladdin and Alexander had dressed up as Antiope, Felix was Cat Noir, and.......well, he didnāt quite know who everyone else was. But at least they dressed up, at they said it was the scariest thing they could think of. Adrien went as Ladybug, of course. Once school was over, the group went trick or treating. Although he had to be discreet about talking to them, it was a blast to trick or treat with the ghosts. And then an akuma came.
āGeez, Hawkmoth canāt take one day off?!ā Plagg yelled, exasperated.Ā āLooks like Hawkmoth chose trick.ā Adrien joked,Ā āPlagg, claws out!āĀ āYou sure you donāt want me to take this one? I am Cat Noir tonight, after all.ā Felix teased.Ā āYouāve always been Cat Noir, gramps.ā Cat Noir retorted,Ā āWish me luck!āĀ āGood luck, kitten!ā Hei Mao cheered.Ā āWe believe in you!ā Aladdin added. They all couldnāt help but smile as Cat Noir joined Ladybug in the fight. They were so proud of their boy.
