9 ~ Revelations Revealed

Hey guys. I can’t believe how many notes I have on My Cardigan Story. It's truly amazing and I love you guys so much thank you. I hope you’ll enjoy today's chapter, and I hope you’ll understand some points I make and whether or not you like it is completely up to you.

.

I’m going to Headcanons that the Kwami’s can’t see what their holders do once they transform, however, I do think some of their personality does get passed onto them when they do transform. Marinette becomes confident and strong like Tikki, Chat Noir is playful and funny like Plagg, I always thought they matched once they transformed.

Word Count: 3249

.

Also, how would people feel about having 3 in 1 fics? So, I’ll put 3 fic stories in one post, that way there's more content to enjoy, around the same length as the others and it may but just a little bit of filler so you can enjoy more interactions. They may seem less important so I think the 3 in 1 fics will be canon but not as relevant, if an idea has it's on fic, it's important/I wanted to expand on it.

“Marinette how could you?” Uggh this again? Could they not give it a rest? This was the same routine Marinette had been living by before Chloé and Rosina entered the picture. It didn’t matter what she did, Lila would be persistent about making the class hate her, even though she had accomplished it she still wanted that hatred to be directed towards someone.

She just so happened to be that someone.

If she said the truth, she was of course lying.

If she denied, she was lying.

If she did anything, she was lying.

And god was she sick of it. Couldn’t they see Lila was just spinning so many tales to grab their attention it was unbelievable?

But she couldn’t do anything else.

Because it still hurt so much.

And she couldn’t tell anyone.

“I didn’t do that, she’s lying.” But of course, they all rolled their eyes at her. Lila was ‘hysterically sobbing’ into the arms of Mylène, they never saw the smirk the brunette gave her.

And they just believed her. With no evidence to back it up.

Man did it make her mad.

She also didn’t miss the disappointed look Adrien had given her, but she was quickly able to go back to her friends and act as if nothing had happened.

Because she had to.

If she continued being angry, then she would get Akumatized.

The day she was nearly expelled was close enough, she could never let something like that happen.

So, she thought the best option was to bottle everything inside.

But she remembered how it all came crashing down on her when Rosina let her enter that Trinklet world. She knew it was bad when she had cried for a long time, she didn’t know how long due to the no time concept, but it must’ve been awhile.

And yet she still bottled everything in. How else was she meant to deal with it?

“Maaaaaaaari? Are you ok there? You’ve been spacing out?” A hand was waved in front of her face as she blinked out of her stupor.

“I’m fine, I’ve just had a lot on my mind, I’m fine really, hahaha” She was trying to play it off as cool and hoped the other two wouldn’t notice.

“You really need to learn how to relax Marinette. I’ll plan a spa day for us all” Marinette had to stop the blonde from pressing anything.

“Nonono, Chloé really it's fine, I’m almost done anyway” She laughed nervously. And it played out like the day usually did.

The day ended and they went home, she ignored that feeling of eyes upon her as Rosina bounced along beside her.

She ignored the feeling of eyes upon her as she was nearing her house with Rosina looking around.

She ignored the cold hard stare in front of her as she bumped into Rosina who had halted midstep… And stopped bouncing.

“Rosina? What's wrong, is everything-”

“Aunty!” Rosina leapt and hugged the tiny woman in front of her.

“Amoretto! Cease this public display of affection!”

Whack

“Sorry, but I haven’t seen you for so long. And I have so much to tell you. Marinette’s been great, she’s my first ever friend here, and I’ve made other friends as well and-” Franchezca put her arm up to stop the young girl from retelling her everything the girl deemed necessary.

“That’s all very good, however, there are some important matters I have to dish out. To Miss Dupain-Cheng. Alone” the girls widened their eyes.

That did not seem good.

“Wha-What? Why?”

“We can discuss that privately, now let’s get going… You’ll soon learn that I can be a very impatient person” She slowly walked out and before Marinette could even process what was happening she felt as if she was being pushed.

“Whoa whoa whoa, Rosina stop pushing I’m gonna-”

She fell.

“I’m so sorry Mari. It's just that, it must be really urgent if Aunty wants to talk to you” As much as Marinette wanted to deny seeing her, she was vaguely curious.

“But, why not bring you along? You haven’t seen her in weeks” The redhead shrugged.

“I don’t mind, she’s always like this, but you better get going. She really hates waiting” Marinette nodded before running off, knowing Rosina would make an excuse to her parents.

She didn’t know why the former Ladybug holder wanted to have a word with her, but she did grow with slight nervousness with each passing moment.

“Finally you made it, next time I ask to meet you, it should be quicker” Marinette huffed before glaring. She was talking to her niece, why was she so grumpy anyway?

Before she could ask, a light was forming around the older woman. She was shocked, that was the same thing Rosina had! They both had one?

“Ladybug! Hurry up and come hither” She stepped inside this light and disappeared.

“Don’t say that so loud!” She followed before disappearing as well, luckily no audience was watching them.

***

“Where are we?” This was not like Rosina’s Trinklet. Hers was a lot more peaceful and fuller of nature. This had tons of doors on either side of them when looking around it seemed very narrow, like a never-ending office. But it seemed that Hernandez knew where she was going, heading towards a certain red door.

She opened the door and the blue-haired girl walked in.

“What is this place?” Looking around all the girl saw was darkness, except for a large white light in the middle of the room.

“We’re going to take a trip down memory lane. Now look deep into it” Franchezca commanded. Marinette rolled her eyes at this order but proceeded, she really wished she wasn’t going to be treated like this, but she looked deep into the light, ready for whatever she was about to face.

She didn’t expect to see Alya of all people.

“He cannot be allowed to hear that message Alya, if he does I’ll die of shame” This was the past, how was that possible?

“Okay okay, I got an idea. If Adrien’s phone went to voicemail it means the dudes busy, which also means you can get to it before he does” Back when they were friends. This was the day Theo made that statue of Ladybug and Chat Noir.

The past Marinette excitedly ran and pulled down the traced schedule of Adrien’s life went into…

It flashed from event to event, from stealing Adrien’s phone to abandoning Paris, being rude to André and planning to gate-crash Kagami’s chance of being near Adrien. Once she had lost all her friends to Lila, she was able to recognise that this behaviour was unacceptable and extremely creepy, she regretted it as she realised her jealousy got the better of her when it came to Adrien. Hell, she wasn’t even sure if meeting Rosina a year ago would let her be sane, her being so close to Adrien and all, would she have blown up at her? She didn’t want to think about it anymore, that was the past and she was living in the present. Sure, she was younger, but that wasn’t an excuse for her behaviour. At least she was learning as she swore, she would never do it again.

“These are the mistakes you have made Ladybug. And you need to recognise everything you’ve done from past to present. You need to understand your actions aren’t always right.” A red dot immediately zoomed out and came into view of Franchezca’s face.

“Marinette may have made some mistakes in the past but she’s acknowledged them and became better and! -” A hand shushed her before she could continue.

“I’m not finished yet, bug. And do not interrupt me again” They glared before Tikki reluctantly flew back to the blue-haired girl.

She muttered a sorry before flying back into the girl's purse.

“You’ve continued this even, you stole the boy's phone, read other letters, rude to people when you were upset-”

“Hey so are you!”

“I have a reason.”

“You don’t treat the Chat Noir as your partner, more like a sidekick, although that I can’t reprehend you on that, all Chat Noir’s are sidekicks, a Ladybug holder has more power than Chat Noir.” Marinette would’ve interrupted but she was silenced by yet another glare.

“All of your past mistakes are there, written in black and white, are here for you to see”

“But I’ve changed since then, I’m not friends with any of them, I even learnt to forgive my bully. I have new friends that I can trust not let me do that anymore. Your Niece helped me a lot Mlle Hernandez, and I thank her a lot, so I don’t understand what I need to do?!” She didn’t mean to raise her voice, but she was really struggling to comprehend the solution, if there was any solution in fact.

“You still keep all of that anger and regret inside of you” Marinette widened her eyes. She… Does?

“I don’t blame you for not recognising the symptoms, or anyone else for not noticing. You put on a mask to make sure you don’t seem hurt, but you are. And that negative emotion is going to eat you up until either you explode or an Akuma gets a hold of you. And I seriously doubt you’d want that to happen.” She nodded, still trying to process the new information handed to her.

“And you need to let that go”

“Huh?”

“Do you want to end up cold and bitter, like me? You are young, still young, you children make stupid decisions all the time, because it’s a part of life, and first-hand experience is the best way to learn. It's up to you if you want to forgive or forget, but don’t harbour any negative emotions towards your past. So, let it go”

“Why are you giving me this advice? Don’t you hate me?” Marinette retaliated.

“What reason would I specifically hate a 14-year-old girl? I hate everyone equally so don’t flatter yourself. Even if I still don’t agree you should be Ladybug, you also shouldn’t burden yourself and ask for help once in a while, you don’t need to only rely on yourself. This is meant in and out of battle, so remember that you aren’t alone, you have your sidekick after all”

So, she just wanted to help? That seemed completely out of character for someone like her, but Marinette guessed that since she didn’t know her like Rosina, it wouldn’t be fair to make that judgement.

Plus, it was true, even if Marinette didn’t want to admit it. She was still taking her time with asking for help from others, normally she would gladly take on all the work whenever her friends asked for anything, or she would offer to make banners for Alix whenever she had a race, or help out in the art room whenever she was free, and she only noticed how unhealthy that was, she was desperately clinging onto her friends now since she didn’t want to be abandoned again.

Maybe she did need some help?

“Thank you, Mlle Hernandez, I get it now. I’ll learn to let my anger go and focus on my future” The older woman was about to respond but Marinette beat her to it, she smirked inwardly as well.

“But I’m also determined to prove to you that I am a good Ladybug, even if you don’t think so. Maybe not now, but I swear in the future I will prove you wrong, and I won’t fail Paris. With my friends, we will defend Paris and defeat Hawkmoth”

Ding

Franchezca felt something, or technically saw something, a silhouette of Rosina behind her, smiling like she always would be.

She grinned, that determination was contagious, she knew that feeling all too well.

“Very well, Ladybug. Prove me wrong, but prove yourself right before that” She turned on her heel as Marinette and Tikki hugged another.

“That was awesome Marinette, you were so confident”

“Thanks, Tikki. It may have been tough, but she just wanted me to understand I guess” They would’ve continued if not hearing a voice.

“Well, Ladybug? If you want to prove to me that you’re serious then we need to get you out of that ridiculous level 1 costume, it’s a disgrace to all fashion designers. Kwami, have you really not informed you're chosen of the levels?” Tikki shot out again, she was still angry with Franchezca with that comment about Chat Noir.

“You know as well as I do that there are too many power-ups to explain all at once. We still have so much to clarify, I didn’t want to overwhelm her.”

“…What?”

Something told Marinette she would be staying here for a loooong time.

***

There was a lot to discuss yesterday.

And the cold hard truth was exactly that, cold, hard, and straight to the point. It may not be exactly what the blue-eyed girl wanted to hear, but she was glad to hear it now than later, in the midst of battle.

If R-

“Marinette!”

Uggh, here we go again.

“Yes?” It was coming. Any minute now.

“Care to explain why you sent horrible texts to Lila yesterday, especially after we confronted you, if this is because we found out your true colours then say it to us don’t be mean to Lila!” God damn, they were so ignorant of everything, she just wanted to-

Wait. This is exactly the same routine, and yes, she couldn’t stand it, but it was her life.

And she was going to change that routine.

“Fine…”

“How da- wait, what?” Even Lila seemed surprised, she was normally meant to fight and prove her innocence, not cave over immediately. What happened?

“I said fine, I promise not to text Lila, even though I don’t have her phone number, ever again. And I don’t know why she keeps bringing me up in conversation. But you can go back and forget about me and I’ll promise never to talk to her or text her ever. I really don’t care, I have plans with my friends anyway. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom. But seriously, just please tell her not to drag me into her fallouts, I don’t care about any of that stuff.” She wanted to laugh but had to hold it in as she passed them all and walked straight into the restroom. Once she sat in a cubicle the red Kwami flew out of her purse.

“That was great Marinette. Franchezca’s advice really helped.”

“Mhmm, yeah I guess she really was right. After I let go, I feel calmer and happier, plus I have more free time now, unless an Akuma comes obviously, but, I sorta feel… Better”

“That’s wonderful Mari-” They heard the door open so Tikki covered her mouth and whizzed back inside Marinette’s purse.

Marinette was unsure who it would be, but for all she knew it might be someone completely random, or someone she didn’t know.

There was no way to- it was Lila.

Marinette would’ve glared but soon remembered to let it go, huh that reminded her of Frozen, maybe she should watch that with Rosina some tim-

“You seem different, finally grew a backbone?” She instigated.

‘Just ignore her Marinette, she isn’t worth your time anymore’ She continued washing her hands, not daring to look in the mirror to see those green devilish eyes at all.

“It doesn’t matter, I swear I will make sure your empire will crumble, I can be very persuasive-”

“That’s nice” That slipped out, but she wasn’t really paying all that much attention anyway. She wanted to get back to her friends. Chloé still booked that spa day, and even though she was against the idea at first, she was excited to see what that would entail.

“-And your new friends will leave you”

Crack

Marinette should’ve ignored it. She knew Lila was just trying to get under her skin. But it was so hard, and this was only the first day.

“Aww, Mari~” The brunette mocked, using the same tone Rosina would use.

“I’m sure they are nice people, but I can be nicer, and they will leave you. Don’t take it too harshly I’m just stating facts”

“Stop”

“What? Sorry didn’t hear you, does the little mouse finally talk?” Lila laughed whipping her hair, about to make an exit.

“I don’t care”

That stopped Lila.

“You don’t care about your friends, oh my looks like you’ve been lying this entire time”

“Stop, just please stop, I don’t care anymore just stay with your other friends, will you? I don’t care that you’re lying, I don’t even care that Adrien knows. Just leave me alone will you? You’re so annoying.” And she walked off, she needed to chill and have some time pass before going to find Rosina and Chloé.

Maybe she could ask Rosina to take her to that opposite world again? She wondered if she could research some relaxation techniques to use, maybe some meditation?

She was sure to write everything down, that would surely calm her.

She didn’t care about the look a pair of green eyes were giving her.

She was starting to become happier. A sudden weight was lifted off her shoulders.

Besides, she had a meeting with Chat and Crisono later that day.

***

“Where is she? Ohh Bugaboo? Where are you?” The message Chat received didn’t scream urgency, but he couldn’t help but feel he had been duped into coming here as a prank.

“Chat quit it with the names already” He heard her voice before he heard her feet land on the ground, strange, he should’ve heard her the other way around.

She was getting better at sneaking up on people.

“Aww, but you know you love my names secretly buga-” He paused.

No longer was he staring at a pigtailed heroine that had captured his heart, no, he was staring at a new Ladybug.

It was the same Ladybug, of course, the voice matched, and he knew she wouldn’t just quit out of nowhere.

But it was different, she was different. Her outfit had changed a lot, she had black gloves and boots with red spots, and an overall that seemed to be covering her bodysuit, and her hair, it was no longer tied up, but down, two pieces of hair tied up.

“Ladybug, you- you’ve… You changed outfits? How? You look even more amazing” She blushed, ahh a sign from the heavens, be still his beating heart, he couldn’t contain his excitement. What made her want to change outfits he wondered?

“Thanks for noticing Kitty, I found out an awful lot about the Miraculous’ yesterday.” Chat slightly narrowed his eyes, here we go again, another secret he can’t be apart off, he should’ve guessed.

“And there's something I need to tell you. But you can’t tell Crisono. She’ll be here any minute now and I’d prefer if she didn’t overhear.”

“What is it?” He would just have to hope she’ll tell him later; they were partners after all. Besides, Crisono was his friend, he had to make sure it was something alright, but by the way his Lady was looking, it didn’t seem to be too pleasant.

She took a deep breath. And he could still remember how everything fell silent.

“The Miraculous cure doesn’t work on Crisono, if she dies, she dies”

***

Huh, this became more of a life lesson than saltiness. Although I still stand by Franchezca, children make stupid mistakes and decisions all the time, and even if I do simply love all ML Salt, I know it's exaggerated and fanon, and that’s alright, we’re able to take a fictional show and write how we interpret it ourselves, because it's not real, and that’s alright, it's real to us and that can be enough. Although I should clarify that this isn’t taking the higher ground, at least I don’t think so, just that Marinette is choosing to forget about them and live her own life, while they choose to either dwell on unimportant matters. Marinette wants to be happy, and if that means choosing to cut her old friends off then so be it. Hope that makes sense.

(Sorry turned sappy there) Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter, the next one should be Piper, unless I get writer's block and do a bunch of 3 in 1 fics, or even some drawings, (I’ve done one of a character not yet shown in the fanfic, feel free to guess) Annnnnnnnd I’ve sorted names and Kwami’s to all the friends, I’m really excited to show them and for myself, to draw them, I went into detail about what I want in my book so I really can’t wait until they’re released. I’m so excited.

Ladybugs costume will be uploaded right after this hopefully, last time I had too many problems to count.

So, stay tuned next time, Cya. Hopefully, the next one will be longer, just wanted to get this out of the way.

♡.Mrs Franchezca Hernandez.♡

Here is Franchezca Hernandez, like most off the others, I had this stored for some time but didn't know when to post it. I wanted her to be short and have grey hair like I previously mentioned before I believe, and look angry/intimidating all the time.

I also always imagined she’d have a Russian accent and I don't know why, so when ever I write her she's just going to be Russian from now on.

The drawing is to do with ML Salt series, if you don’t like salt please don’t read.

11 ~ 3 In 1 ~ Piper Burst/Training Time/Added Member

Ok so I was still sad that I hadn’t included everything from the previous chapter so this may just be a shorter part 2, unless if I want to include the 3 in 1. Or both, both sounds good.

Word Count: 5381

Also, if you change your name please tell me, I don’t want to leave you out since you’ve asked to be tagged.

This fanfic and its ideas were all made after season 3 and before season 4/movie came out, so if something doesn’t add up please don’t worry. That information wasn’t available then, and unless it fits into my story or I like it, I won’t include it in my story.

.

Just so it's not too boring there won’t be an Akuma/Amok/Trinklet in every chapter. I may like fight/action scenes but too much isn’t good, kinda wish canon did that as well. So, I’m proposing that Hawkmoth won’t be making an Akuma every single day. Sorry canon, I don’t want my story to become repetitive. Probably the only other reason why is because I can’t think of any Akuma names/powers/reasons to be upset just for 1 time. Damnit, I have better things to do.

***

“Girls you need to wake up soon.” A voice shouted from downstairs. The three girls stirred awake.

“Ok, Maman sorry.” Marinette rushed downstairs in a panic, nearly tripping over the last step only to be caught by Rosina.

“C’mon Mari, let’s hurry,” Said girl pushed herself up and soon dressed in her usual attire. Yesterday was a hectic day, she hoped today would be much simpler.

No promises.

Kissing her Parents on their cheek, Rosina and Marinette prepared to leave, but someone tiny was following them.

“Oh Piper you can’t follow them, they have to go to Collège now. But you can stay with us and wait until they come home” Sabine crouched to her level and reached out her hand to pat her head.

But once again Piper grasped onto Rosina yet again, she wasn’t scared of Sabine, but she was still extremely cautious of everyone besides the redhead.

“Hey, Piper, its alright, it won’t be for that long” Rosina tried cooeing her, but she continued to grab onto her clothes.

“I don’t think she’s gonna let go” That could be a problem, if they left, they knew Piper would cry and may end up Akumatized, but they couldn’t skip Collège.

What to do what to do? …

“I know, I’ll call the college up and ask if you can bring Piper along, even if it's just for a short amount of time. Hopefully, by then, Piper will come out of her shell.” Sabine smiled towards the girls. She certainly didn’t want to make any of the girls uncomfortable, and she could tell how Piper wasn’t at ease around anyone besides Rosina and Marinette.

“Really? That would be so nice of you Sabine” Her smile widened as Marinette pounced on her Parents, exclaiming her gratitude as well.

“Well, we’ll cya later. Bye Maman, bye Papa” They waved, Piper copying the two as they took one step out.

“Marinette, Rosina! Now you have to explain!” A hand was pointed towards them by none other then Aurore.

“Aww she looks even cuter here”

“So, you weren’t kidding?” Marc stared in shock.

Who else had stopped them at the base of her door? Her friends of course. Of course, it had to be them, of course, they couldn’t wait until they got there.

Oh well, they would’ve had to tell them eventually right?

“Ok ok, we’ll tell you on the way” Piper was still shy and decided to bury herself in Rosina. They opted to tell them the same story Marinette told her Parents, after all, it would get too confusing if more stories were made.

“Soo Rosina just made a mistake? Good, we were worried you just took the girl from the street, man you got us worried” Marinette nervously gulped, if Rosina wasn’t as good a liar as she knew she was she’d think they would be in deep trouble.

“Is she alright? She does seem really scared” Marc asked worriedly, he knew the signs all too well.

“Yeah, she’s just really shy of new people, she always has” Rosina pat Piper’s head, and started to coax her into meeting her other friends. Saying things like they are just like Marinette and Chloé, and that they would never hurt her, and they would like her immediately, in fact, they do.

The three nodded but didn’t move so they wouldn’t alarm the girl. Piper peaked out of Rosina, gave them a slight wave in their direction, before turning back and hiding herself.

It was a good start the girls proposed.

“Aww, that was adorable.” Mireille cooed out. And Marc smiled. But Aurore noticed something tied around her waist. It looked… Like a mask.

.

Wait a minute!

“How does she have Crisono’s mask!?” Aurore didn’t mean to shout it, but the shock just overcame her.

Unfortunately for them, someone overheard that question.

“Who has Crisono’s mask?” The ombre haired girl asked, she had come up to the group, surprising them with her quickness and speed, she looked around before her eyes landed on Rosina and a kid she didn’t recognise.

“You have a Sister? No way me too. Tell me, is she a brat sometimes? Mine can be such a handful y’know, you can never get away from them to have some peace and quiet” Marinette's mouth hung wide open. The hell? How could that be the first thing she says? Yeah, siblings could be annoying (she didn’t know but with her sometimes babysitting Manon she could definitely say they could be a handful) but she couldn’t just outright say it!

“I know exactly how you feel, one of my Mother’s friends always asked me to babysit their kid and they could prove to be so much of a handful y’know. They eventually listened to me after so much time together they immediately grew to love me. But if you want, I could give you some tips?” Lila had entered the fray, and they hadn’t even processed it yet.

.

“Excuse you!?” It was Chloé. And boy did she look furious!

“There's one thing to intrude upon a conversation, there's another thing to just rudely cast your opinions upon a child!” Chloé prodded her fingers into the girl's chest, jabbering at her almost as much as her words.

“As if you can talk, you don’t even have a Sister. The most you had to take care off was your attitude, and even then, look where that got you” Alya jabbed back, as if she’d let Chloé of all people walk over her.

“Hey what the hell was that for? You were in the wrong first, and there's no need to fight in front of a child” Aurore jumped in, she saw the saddened face of the two girls and wanted to help. Her and Chloé may not see eye to eye but that didn’t mean she was going to leave her like that.

“Aurore I cannot believe you girl, I thought you had more sense than that. How can you stick up for Chloé after everything she’s done?” Alya held shock on her face, she thought Aurore was smarter than that, was she under the blonde and bluenette’s spell as well-

“That’s enough!” They all heard the voice, but were shocked at whom it was from. They all turned to look at Rosina, a wave of slight anger in her eyes they hadn’t seen before, two had and even they wished they could erase it from their memory.

The girl waltzed up to Chloé and Aurore, grabbed both their hands and walked off.

“We’re going to class so you can stop being mean to my friends” They walked off and into the school. Marinette, Mireille and Marc followed after them, surprised to see Rosina like that.

Alya and Lila stood there in shock, one noting that she wasn’t as much of an airhead as she thought, the other thinking maybe she had gone a bit too far with her comment about her Sister. Whatever the case, they decided to give her some space.

***

“Err… Rosy? Are you ok?” Marc was the first one to ask. Upon arriving in their classroom, it was empty, meaning they had some time before people would come crawling in. Maybe it would be good to meet up like this, so they didn’t have to wait for that one lunchtime to meet up.

To their luck, Piper didn’t understand the conversation they just had, and they were able to distract her with crayons and pieces of paper. She was drawing carefully for such a young person her age.

While she was in her element the rest grew concerned with Rosina’s outburst. They had never seen her like that, was it normal?

“Sorry, I just don’t like arguments. Me and Aunty never had them, so I really don’t like them…  And I didn’t like that Alya called Piper a brat.” Mireille rested a hand on the girl's shoulder, trying to comfort her.

“It’s ok Rosina. I hate arguments as well, it's normal. So, if anything else ever makes you uncomfortable just tell us ok?” Rosy stared before her smile stretched across her face, quickly hugging her.

“You guys are the best” Mireille was surprised as her emotions were quickly changing.

“Group hug!” Someone shouted, she wasn’t sure who, but it didn’t matter, everyone was engulfed in arms.

.

.

“You too Chloé”

“Ahh! -” She slowly accepted her fate, though her clothes may be ruffled, for once she didn’t care about it. Baby steps.

Time passed as they all talked over plans to hang out, since it was a Monday they all planned to watch Rosina’s fencing match, D’Argencourt allowed them to as long as they were quiet and wouldn’t distract any other students, and afterwards meet up with Luka and Noémie. Kagami would already be there and by her Mother’s command have exactly 2 hours of free time with her friends on weekdays. And if she had finished her noble arts and studies earlier, she would have some extra hours at weekends. It was better than before so they were glad they could bring Kagami along.

They had planned on going to an arcade, there was a small one apparently Noémie knew about, somehow, she knew all the best places, she must’ve explored a bunch of unknown sites.

Rosina felt tugging from her top and looked down to see the black-haired girl hand her some paper. It held scribbles of flowers and stars drawn all around it. Marinette had a few picture books she had used for when Manon would be quiet, and she quite enjoyed them. Piper seemed to adore them as every one of her drawings contained it.

That’s right drawings.

“Aww Piper these are adorable”

“What a real artist”

“I know exactly what to buy you for your next birthday” Piper had made a drawing for each of them, so 6 in total. And they were all great. They all felt honoured she would draw for them.

Ring… Ring

The bell had rung signalling for them to attend their own classroom. As the three from Mendeleiev’s class began to exit the room a certain redhead arrived.

.

They stared for a bit, one glared while another tried to dodge the gaze. Aurore grabbed onto Marc’s hand and marched straight out of there, if Nathaniel wanted to believe a liar more than his friend then that was on him. He made his bed now he can lie in it. Mireille walked along with them, and away they went. Marinette was still disheartened about the whole thing, she wasn’t able to convince Nathaniel to change his mind, she didn’t know what exactly Lila had told him but whatever it was, had fully convinced him Marc had to go.

Even after everything they had been through, he chose to throw it all away.

But that was how life was.

More people filled the room, some were surprised to see a child, others hadn’t noticed, some had taken double takes but the teacher luckily entered and was able to explain everything… Even if Marinette could tell she wasn’t thrilled about the situation. Marinette didn’t say anything, I mean, she was just a child, who may have not been taken care of, who was she to deny the girl some affections from her newfound Sister?

***

“Did you enjoy today Piper?” The little girl nodded, a toy was cuddled up to the girl, a toy a certain blue-haired boy was able to win, earning the trust of the girl right away. Since Luka was the only one to have a sibling, that they knew of at least, and with Juleka being his Sister, he automatically knew how to get the girl to come out of her shell.

It was incredibly cute, even Chloé couldn’t deny it. Her little arms reaching around to hug the second eldest of the group. Piper may have been shy towards the teens at the start, but she became pretty social afterwards. Accepting hugs from all of them and even being carried by them, she was then considered the little Sister to them all. And although it took a while for Kagami to earn the girls trust, she loved her none the less. Noémie begged to take a picture of the cute girl as they all posed again before leaving.

And it was at that time Marinette noticed she started to smile, she had seen the girl looking at other people laughing and hugging others, Marinette thought maybe she was just glancing at a lot of things considering her age, but now she knew it was because she was intrigued and probably just wanted to do it herself.

It was surprisingly Chloé and Aurore who were able to produce the first smile, Piper had pointed to a toy with a female in a giant pink tutu and in such an elegant stance, it appeared she was beginning her own routine. She didn’t know what it was so the group explained ballet to her, Aurore suggested someone demonstrating so Piper could properly understand and selflessly volunteered Chloé for the job. The other blonde appeared to challenge the thought and smugly waltzed onto an empty DDR machine. She danced as they all wooed her, clapping’s and a lone whistle was heard. She also had an audience partaker; Rosina copied her movements perfectly. Piper widened her eyes, astonished of how cool and fun it looked.

“Wow,” She whispered, a small astonished smile appearing on her face, making Marinette notice and pick her up to join them.

.

.

But she was only able to make everyone else unbalanced and all of them fell onto the floor in a pile. But they all laughed, her clumsiness was well known at this point, what else could they say?

When Piper waddled up to Chloé and looked up towards the blonde, she bent down towards her… And had her nose booped.

It happened, it finally happened.

Chloé hadn’t been so happy than in that moment.

Picking her up and spinning around saying she was going to teach her everything there was to ballet.

They continued playing with a bunch of other machines before the tiny girl was worn out.

Overall, the sleepy expression the tiny girl held on her face was well worn. And as the two girls headed back home to rest up, Chloé having departed already, they were going to enjoy their quiet free time.

Tap, tap, tap.

.

‘… Huh?’

Tap, tap, tap.

Marinette sat up, that wasn’t Chat Noir was it? He hadn’t visited for a while; she guessed his civilian self might have been busy but oh well.

“Chat what are you doing here?”

“How dare you mix me up for that oversized cat?”

Mrs Hernandez?

Her bedroom window opened, and the older woman had entered. One girl jumped as the other held an enjoyable expression on her face.

“Aunty!” Of course, she hugged her, and of course she had proceeded to be whacked on the head.

“What are you doing here Aunty? Is there another Trinklet? Or is there an Akuma we need to take care off? Do we need to bring Chloé with us again?” A whack was heard once more in the room.

“No amaretto, there is a much urgent matter to attend to”

“What is it?” Marinette grew worried, was this about the Miraculous, any side effects she had yet learned off?

“This… Is about your training”

‘Huh’

“Chop chop, you shall meet me in 10 minutes near the Louvre. And you best bring that Bourgeois girl as well” They couldn’t ask any more questions as a box was thrown towards them and she vanished.

What the hell was that?

And- wait 10 minutes, quick they had to leave now!

***

“Ok, we’re all here now, why did you have to have this now? I had to cancel a hair appointment for this!” Stinger huffed crossing her arms, clearly annoyed at the clash of events. Finding Mrs Hernandez at the Louvre was one thing, her pushing all three into the Trinklet without any time to speak was another.

“Well Bourgeois, if you want to take that hair appointment instead of learning how to be a mediocre hero, then you are free to leave and prove my point” They glared at each other before Chloé huffed off, saying she’ll stay here instead.

Hernandez smirked, knowing she had achieved a small victory.

Ladybug sighed, if this is how they’re going to act for all meetings she’d rather not be a part of any of it.

But the older woman coughed to get everyone's attention, they all stood in a line awaiting any other further instructions.

“Now that you’re all here you should expect that your once normal and average lives will be changed and altered forever, and because you’ve already accepted you can’t step back” Ladybug was about to speak up, they already had the Miraculous how crazy could it become?

She was silenced by the woman’s stare and promptly closed her mouth.

“Your training starts now, and I expect all of you to follow my orders without hesitation” A loud yes ma'am was heard, the other two promptly followed shortly afterwards, although with less enthusiasm.

“Now transform back” Crisono did it without hesitance.

Ladybug and Stinger froze and grew shocked!

“What? We can’t, I can’t let anyone learn about my identity” Chloé quickly shook her head, she knew everyone there knew about her identity but she couldn’t learn about Ladybug’s, not now and certainly not here in the Trinklet again Stinger had to have a moment to collect herself on being transported to two different worlds in two days.

“Oh hush, you can still keep your identity a secret if you really want to even if it would be so much easier if you didn’t” Ladybug and Chloé looked so confused, what?

“There is a spare set of sports clothes in those doors, change into them when you detransform… Secret identities are so much hassle” She muttered that last part as she walked away. Ladybug and Stinger looked at each other still unsure.

“Is this a good idea? I mean, doesn’t the Miraculous protect us from learning about our identities?” Stinger asked, she didn’t want to find out who Ladybug was, although she liked the mystery to remain she didn’t want to accidentally reveal her idols identity.

“I’m sure it’ll be alright, you’ll both be wearing masks still, plus I think your Kwami’s might be able to give you both a magic cover so I don’t think there's any reason to fear. Plus, now your Kwami’s can give pointers and help us and-” A finger was placed on her lips to silence her.

“Whoa whoa whoa, settle down there Rosina. One thing at a time. Let’s just get changed first before we get into that” Ladybug smiled, no matter the situation, Rosina would always be so hyper.

“Sooooorrrrrryyyyyyyyy, I’m just happy that we’re all going to train together, I know it's going to be hard at first, and hurt all over your body, and as days past you’ll wish to just stay in bed all day and forever… But I promise you’ll love it; we’ll all be the strongest heroes in the world”

.

.

.

What the hell did they get themselves into?

***

“Left right left right! Come on Ladybug, aren’t you faster than that!” She was dodging flying planks of wood that would swing right in front and back to her… Without her Miraculous. Man, what a nightmare, and this was meant to be basic training?

“What's the matter Stinker? Got cold feet already?” She turned her head towards the hero clad in yellow, fully knowing she wasn’t fearing well much either.

“It’s Sovereign Stinger to you” She replied but didn’t move. Below her were tiles that would set of a trap, she had to run to the other side without setting any of them off, if she did she would have to go back all the way to the beginning and start all over again.

‘I may hate this but I am so going to complete it just so I can shove it in that old woman's fac-’ Red flashed her eyes as the tile opened up and swallowed her whole, she would be placed at the start yet again.

The Kwami’s were busily indulging in food as they watched their respective holders… ‘Training’ they were of course worried but Hernandez told them not to, if they are any good at being heroes then this will be a piece of cake by the time they complete it.

They didn’t seem too convinced until they remembered to look up. A lone type rope was there, and a redheaded figure was slowly making her way across it, she was as straight as a board, and the baton she used to steady herself helped as far as they could tell. Until they were able to make out that she wasn’t holding it with her hands, oh no, she was holding it with her feet.

“Rosina is crazy” Pollen nodded her head.

“Yes indeed, I wouldn’t class this as any regular training I’ve seen, how can she see with that blindfold?” Pollen spoke, worried for her holder's friend as the colour from Tikki’s face drained.

“Wait she’s BLINDFOLDED!?”

“Of course she is, you wouldn’t think I’d give her something basic to start off with like those two?”

“THIS IS MEANT TO BE BASIC TRAINING!?” Ladybug screamed but she had lost her focus, she had gotten hit and flew across the field. Her and Stinger landed in a pile together.

“I have to say, you two did better than what I thought, but I suppose you can have a break” The girls smiled, finally some rest.

“Rosiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” The older woman screamed. As the two girls looked up, they were able to see their friend swinging around on the rope, if it was anyone else but her, they would’ve been petrified at that prospect but they weren’t concerned.

This wasn’t even the craziest thing she’s done-

Wait a minute she wasn’t swinging anymore.

“Heeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy guys” Arms were wrapped around the two girls as they screamed in shock.

“Wait for one-second Crisono, how did you get down here so quick!?” Rosina’s smile left her face immediately, and she leaned in very close towards the girls, they leaned in as well to hear her answer.

.

.

“Maaaaaaaaaagic.”

They fell over in shock.

“Now let’s get us some water I’m thirsty” She joyfully skipped over to their fridge as Ladybug and Stinger resolved to just sit down there, hoping there wouldn’t be any more surprises.

“Heads up!”

… Why does she keep jinxing herself?

A bottle landed on the bluenette, with no way for her to cover herself after being so exhausted with her previous training, she gave a glare to the redhead, who only smiled back in return.

“Sorry about that Ladybug. Heads up” Was spoken yet again, but the object was thrown in a different direction. And was caught by her Aunt.

Ladybug supposed it was natural, they must’ve done this routine over a hundred times by now, of course, they were used to it.

“You both need much more training before you can even qualify as a hero in my books, but considering it's only been a day I suppose it’s the best you can produce” Normally they would have a retort but they were too exhausted to think of anything witty, so they just waved her away.

“And I believe you require another person to join” The three girls looked up in confusion.

“When I’ll have you do the next step in your training, it's important that you can fight your opponent efficiently, but to do that you’ll need to fight each other to prove to me you listened to every instruction. And since I don’t want you slacking off, I think it’s time for you to include someone else.” The two girls glared at her with that last sentence, but she didn’t care.

“And so when you all train together you’ll know everyone's strengths and weaknesses, and since I want it to be even I believe someone else joining would prove useful to you. I want you all to know the importance of fighting without your Miraculous and not to rely on your magical power for everything.” Ladybug thought for a while, before deciding on someone.

“Great, I’ll bring Chat here and then we can get him up to speed with the Trinklets and Revenant-”

Whack.

“OWW!”

That sound was heard throughout the field, but instead of the redhead being hit, it was the bluenette.

“What was that for!?” Hernandez glared at the young heroine; she was so naïve it hurt her so.

“I will not have that mangy cat anywhere here until he proves he can act serious in a battle. Until then I want this to remain a secret from him… Do you all understand?”

“But Chat is Ladybug’s partner, they can’t keep secrets from each other” Tikki tried to reason, Chat may act goofy sometimes, but he was still a hero to Paris no matter what, he still helps whenever he can.

Mrs Hernandez however never lifted her glare.

“I won’t repeat myself again,” Tikki reluctantly flew back down to Ladybug’s side saddened she couldn’t persuade her former holder, but a gentle pat on her head calmed her down.

“Now I expect you to pick someone that will have a strive to protect and conquer any enemy in their way.”

Ladybug looked down in thought, if she couldn’t let her own partner know who else was there? It, of course, couldn’t be Alya or Nino, she hadn’t called them up since last summer, they were unofficially retired.

And it couldn’t be anyone from her class, it may be petty of her, but she also believed they wouldn’t keep it a secret, she still feared for the day Alya would tell Lila she was Rena Rouge.

What about one of her new friends?

Although, they might find it strange to suddenly called for, plus she didn’t want them to fear for the new threat.

She needed someone that would be composed and loyal, and who would take the situation seriously.

.

.

A light bulb went off in her head.

“I see you’ve made your choice… Hurry along now, make sure you don’t keep me waiting” Ladybug got up, said her goodbyes with the promise of bringing someone who would be perfect for them.

After all, they already knew each other.

***

“Amoretto, I know she’s your friend but you do have to hit her at some point, you need more help with your combat abilities as it is”

A dodge was made.

“But Aunty I can’t, she’s my friend… And she might hit me harder”

A fist was pulled back…

“Damn right I will”

But it couldn’t make contact.

“Get back here Rosina!”

“Nooooooo you’re scaring me!”

And that’s the story of how Hernandez had two children running around her in circles.

“Ahem,” Someone cleared their throat to gain the three’s attention from their… “Training”

“I thought long and hard about what you said Mrs Hernandez, and I believe I’ve chosen the perfect candidate” Ladybug stepped out of the way for the person to come out.

They waited before seeing blue hair and a maroon mask, they had already gotten changed into the Gym clothes so at least then they could get started.

“Hooray a new face. Hiya there I’m Crisono” The new blue-haired girl stood back, so this was Crisono Tassa? She had expected her to be a bit, how would you say? Formal? Serious? But here she was all smiles and giggles.

And reminding her of someone.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Crisono, I’ve heard so much about you, I would be honoured if we could have a fencing match?” Crisono’s eyes lit up in awe. Sparkling with joy.

“Of course of course of course. Aunty can we can we can we? Pleeeeease?” She fluttered her eyelashes in her Aunt’s direction.

Hernandez, however, didn’t respond as she was looking the newcomer up and down, trying to stare her down, but it appeared she wouldn’t look away from her glare. Almost challenging it weirdly.

“Heh” Hernandez smirked, she liked this kid already, she seemed to prove herself in a matter of unspoken seconds, she couldn��t wait to see what else she could prove.

“I suppose seeing your skills in action would be a way for me to test what your capable off, if you think you can handle it?” The new girl nodded.

“I will strive to do everything to prove myself” She bowed formally.

“Very well, cherub teach her what it takes to be a true hero” Crisono excitedly waved her arms up and down again, a habit the girls noticed she would do whenever she was happy.

“Ok… Does that mean we can fight?”

“Yes, of course it means you can fight… What am I going to do with you?” Hernandez sighed as Rosina giggled before taking the new girl’s hand and take her to a large field. Ladybug and Stinger making their way over as well, wanting to enjoy the show.

“Oh yeah, what's your superhero name?” The new girl looked down, she knew, in the long run, she wouldn’t be able to go by her old name, Hawkmoth already knew her identity and she couldn’t put her friends and family in danger.

So, she decided to choose someone who had inspired her for a sport she had grown to love.

“I’m YukiOta”

.

.

“I suppose you’ll need to catch me up to speed Tikki” Longg floated over to his long-time friend, forgetting the last time he had seen her he was excited to spend some time outside.

“Of course Longg, don’t worry it's not all bad… At least I don’t think so” Longg looked confused, what did she mean by that?

“Here Longg, we have plenty of snacks to eat as they all train. But don’t worry about them, they’ll be alright” Longg gave a puzzled look again before settling down near them, greedily taking a cookie while listening to Pollen and Tikki retell the recent events that had transpired.

.

.

“THAT’S BASIC TRAINING!?”

“You’ll get used to it”

***

In a classroom, voices were heard. Well, more like whispers were formed by the people in there.

And it was very clear as to why.

They all saw, it was impossible not to notice.

I mean, the three girls who sit in the back come in, all with bandages around them? What had happened? Were they involved in a fight? Was there a short Akuma attack the news team couldn’t capture because they couldn’t get there in time?

Whatever had happened they were still worried and asked what had occurred, they may not be on the same page but to leave them like that would just be heartless, a brunette couldn’t really care less but had to act as if she did.

.

“We’re starting paintball lessons”

.

.

And like that everything went back to normal, of course, that had to be the reason. Kim vouched, saying the last time he went paintballing he came back with a bruised leg, he hadn’t worn enough protection and shivered at how long it took for him to heal.

And even though it seemed plausible… It still seemed strange that someone as clumsy as Marinette, and someone as dirt free as Chloé would ever participate in such an extreme sport such as paintballing.

Rosina, they could kinda understand, she had already proved to be a pro of a fencer so this activity would just be a form of exercise.

Chloé had asked why Marinette was all banged up only for Rosina to say her Aunt wants her to personally teach her some self-defence tactics, but she kept falling over. Chloé laughed at that as Marinette huffed asking why she’s so banged up, Chloé’s smirk fell off her face as she stuttered for a reason, eventually saying she was starting karate thank god Marinette seemed to buy it.

The girls thought the next few days wouldn’t be as bad.

.

Boy were they wrong.

***

And it’s done, sorry this might have taken longer, I kinda got into a Pokémon phase as I plan to do something big with Pokémon, but I need to plan it out more, so hopefully, that will be good. Also, hope you like it, next one is either 3 in 1 or Felix I’m leaning more towards Felix, haven’t decided yet, anyone have any short requests for me to do in the 3 in 1? Any scenarios?

Well anyway, I’m going to upload YukiOta’s design afterwards so you can all see it. Hope you’ll like it.

Also, what really sucks is that my drawing tablet doesn’t work with the Paint Tool Sai and every time I install it and uninstall it, it always makes my computer reset so I really hate that. Hopefully, it's just a problem with the laptop as I’m planning on getting another one for uni soon. But that also means updates will be slower so sorry, but I want to pass uni.

Anyway, hope to see you all soon. Have a good day/night.

10 ~ Now It Happens!?

Hayo, how are you all? Hope you’re all ok at these current times. But now it’s the awaited arrival of the little child that was first mentioned in my first fanfic. Also, I have over 200 followers, wow, amazing, I’m so impressed, thank you all, I’ve never had this many people like my work as much as you guys, so thank you all.

Also, I’m very proud of this, since we don’t have a list of the powers of all of the Kwami’s I took the liberty of making them myself. And they all work perfectly with my story. So, I’ve also drawn all the future chosen’s characters as well, they should be different and hopefully better than canon. But I won’t be changing the designs yet unless I think something else fits better. The names may not as be as good but at least I know what they are. Also. Unless you want me to, do you guys actually want me to reveal them, do you want to find out or leave it as a surprise? I’ve kept the tradition of all the powers ending in -tion so yeah. Hope you’ll like them when they’re released.

Also, if you change your name please tell me, I don’t want to leave you out since you’ve asked to be tagged.

This fanfic and its ideas were all made after season 3 and before season 4/movie came out, so if something doesn’t add up please don’t worry. That information wasn’t available then, and unless it fits into my story or I like it, I won’t include it in my story.

Also, I may need some help with developing Luka’s personality. I may adore Luka, love him, but I can’t disagree with the fact that he is bland. Some help would be nice. All I have is that’s he’s an incredibly chill guy who likes music and Marinette, I firmly believe he’s a pacifist and hates to resolve situations with violence, wanting to either defuse it by walking away, giving in or trying to talk the other into a compromise? Maybe he bottles all of his emotions inside. But really besides that, I can’t think of anything else, what else can I do to give him a personality? Any help, kinda struggling. Might also need help with Noémie but I have more of an idea with her. Plz DM me plz if you have any thoughts, comments are welcomed as well. If I don’t reply I’m asleep so don’t be offended.

.

I think the Revenant idea came from Madoka Magica as it all slowly started making sense why I liked it so much. Any ideas to help me change it so it looks more original? I do have one an idea as you might be able to see but do you guys have any suggestions?

***

“-and then Jean had pie all over his face, it was utterly hilarious when he tried to clean it all off” Chloé laughed as her other two friends were walking with her along the roads of Paris, the redhead laughed along as the bluenette looked unimpressed.

“Really Chloé? I doubt that was good for Jean” Chloé waved her off, stating she just had to be there for it before Marinette just sighed. How long had it been since they all decided to become friends? She lost count, being glad she had people around her that actually believed her, and people she could trust everything with… Well, almost everything. But even then, she couldn’t tell everyone or she’d be stripped of her Miraculous… But a thought always entered her head, if she did reveal herself to the other heroes, would it really be so bad?

Like, revolutionary bad?

Oh well, maybe when she was older, she could divulge that type of information to people she trusted.

After all, trust works both ways.

Before Marinette could even give a retort back to her blonde friend, a body had stopped in the middle of the pathway. Since all of their arms were linked that caused them all to come to an abrupt stop, much to the annoyance of one in particular.

“Rosina what are you doing? Your lucky people aren’t behind us or they would’ve bumped into me- I mean us” The blonde was still getting there, slowly thinking of everyone around her instead of just herself, sure she still had a long ways to go but she was at least trying.

To that, the redhead still hadn’t answered, her head was turned to an alleyway. Nothing was at the utmost significance other than a green bin and a fence blocking the other alley from joining up.

The girls became confused when she let go and ran up to the dumpster…

.

.

Before flinging herself inside.

The two girls widened their eyes before running after the speedster.

“Ok Rosy you are freaking me out now, what the hell are you doing?” Marinette asked, was this normal for her? She’d have to tell her not to randomly jump inside bins anymore, she was sure she could help stop that habit.

Again, before the two could say anything, a suitcase was thrown their way, Chloé screamed as a smudge of dirt landed on her clothes.

“Rosina you better get your butt out of that bin this instance, how dare you ruin my clothes!” Marinette meanwhile looked into the bin to help Rosina out, she wasn’t covered in dirt mind you, but you could see that her clothes were darker.

“Explain yourself at once!” But the redhead ignored her and proceeded to open the suitcase up. Chloé was tempted to gently nudge her with her foot, but then she saw her expression, fear? Uncertainty? Something like that. Did she sense something in the suitcase?

That seemed to be true as the sight of a bright grey light came into the girl's view.

“Mari. It's here. It’s really here. Oh god, it’s the first one, I need to contact Aunty-” She spiralled into her thoughts not being able to hear Chloé’s concerned questions as Marinette looked at what was the cause of the light.

It was a Trinklet, it looked just like Rosina’s but grey. This was it; this was the day she would finally know what the Trinklets would really entail.

“Chloé!” Said girl jumped as the one who called out her name laid her hands on her shoulders.

“You need to go back to the hotel and put the bee signal on” Both girls looked at her as if she had grown two heads.

“But I’m not Queen Bee anymore, and how is that going to help us?” Rosina shook her head, knowing she’d have to explain since no one knew what she was implying.

“If you put the bee signal on people will notice and word may get to Ladybug. Please tell Ladybug that she needs to come and meet me here… And please tell her to get the new hero Sovereign Stinger” Marinette was shocked, would this really require Chloé so soon? Or would this just be early training?

“Err who’s Sovereign Stinger?” Marinette had to ask as to stay in character, geez this was so complicated with her knowing both their identities, Rosina knowing both identities and Chloé only knowing Rosina’s identity. She examined how Chloé’s facial expressions widened but soon calmed down.

“I don’t know either, probably one other meaningless Miraculous user who doesn’t know anything, really Rosina you should rather get Queen Bee to help out-” Chloé saw how their expressions were not interested as she coughed and laughed it off. She had overplayed her part, but it didn’t matter now that she had stopped.

“Alright alright, I’ll help. Now c’mon Marinette, you can stay in the hotel as I handle everything else.” Marinette waved back at Rosina, who would transform into Crisono any minute now.

She had to admit she could be smart when it came to stuff like this. Not blowing her cover of Ladybug and Stinger’s identity when any slip up could’ve blown everything away.

It kinda made her sad that Rosina was so used to all these secrets and fights.

***

“This is the disaster?” Stinger had questioned, after getting over the fact of basically dimensional hopping.

And that was a long time.

They hadn’t been long getting back and were quick to enter the Trinklet, Ladybug couldn’t help but notice the intense look on her friend’s face. She silently rested her arm on the other girl which caused her smile to reappear much to her relief.

When they had finally arrived, their field of vision centred around grey. Grey sky, grey floor, grey everything. If Ladybug didn’t know any better, she’d think she were in a monochrome painting, but by her friend’s face, this wouldn’t be a simple Revenant to defeat.

What was that saying again?

“They are a portal to a strange land; time is unnecessary and cannot expand. Travel you must, succeed and entrust, to destroy the Revenant at hand.” She remembered. Funny, the rhythm helped.

“Yes. It may not look like it, but it just hasn’t started yet. But you need to get ready” With that Crisono held her trusty fencing sword out. The two followed suit, it was starting to scare them, Chloé really wasn’t used to her serious mode, she kinda wanted her to stop it.

“Crisono, do you have any idea what we should expect?” Ladybug questioned.

“Yeah, all the Trinklets are colour coded, so in the future, you’ll have somewhat of an idea what to expect.” The air around them seemed to change, they could all feel it.

“This one was grey, so I think I can safely conclude that grey has something to do with gravity.” The other two eyed each other, it all still seemed unbelievable, but they had been used to Akuma’s so it couldn’t be too far out of their realm of possibility.

Then… The ground lit up.

But it was strange. Only certain bits lit up, almost as if it were just multiple squares along the floor. That was weird. What was weirder was some or those squares flew up into the air. All at random.

There didn’t seem to be any structure, it was all unsystematic. Now Ladybug could see why Crisono was so worried, she would’ve preferred a much simpler Trinklet to start off with.

But she wasn’t a superheroine for nothing.

She proudly swung her Yo-Yo around, looking over to the two new people she could trust.

“So, what's the plan Crissi?” The redhead smiled before extending her sword, making it point to something in the distance.

“We head towards the centre. That’s where it's residing. Then it’ll all be over.” The three all smirked before taking off. There was a rush of adrenaline soaring through them all, this was an oddly exhilarating experience, something new was happening and only they knew about it. It felt like it was only their little secret.

But as soon as they started running, all of the platforms moved as well. Ladybug wondered if the Revenant were somewhat alive and knew that it was under attack. She threw her Yo-Yo and swung from place to place, landing on the platforms and manoeuvring away when they rose up. So far so good, she just had to keep looking where she was going.

Stinger… Not so much. She had only been Queen Bee like four times. She didn’t count the times of being Akumatized since she couldn’t remember them, and she said she had practised, but not to this degree. And besides, she hadn’t even trained with her Miraculous yet.

So, it was only befitting that the newest hero was the first to fall.

Right into the crack.

She didn’t fall for long, something wrapped around her waist to pull her up, it was a real close call considering the platform was about to shut the blondes only escape.

Crisono swung Stinger further away to a safer platform before holding a thumbs up to her. Stinger breathed a sigh of relief before continuing on.

‘I won’t let you down again Crisono, Ladybug. I swear’ They continued before Crisono raised her hand.

“What's wrong?” Ladybug shouted; her eyes searched the area to see if anything was different.

Their Silver eyed heroine looked over to them, and she looked so confused.

“Did you two hear that?” They fell silent, trying to strain their ears for any type of noise.

.

.

It was feint, very feint.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“What was that!?” Ladybug looked over to Crisono, she couldn’t count how many emotions crossed over her face in a matter of seconds. First shock, then realisation, lastly dread.

“I really hoped that hadn’t happened”

“Crisono what's happening?” With a solemn look Crisono answered. Causing devastation to overflow the two.

“Trinklets need a human touch to be activated, and I wasn’t the one to activate this one”

“And that noise! -”

They all immediately rushed ahead. A civilian being held in a Trinklet? That would cause an uproar of trouble, possibly exposing the Trinklets to the media could cause outright panic, and with Akuma’s running amok… Well, you knew.

“We need to get the civilian out of here now, we aren’t sure if the Miraculous cure can work here so we can’t take any chances.” But there was only one problem, they didn’t know where to look.

The noise seemed to echo as they travelled along multiple platforms as well. They couldn’t locate anything.

Until Crisono fell headfirst in one of the gaps.

“Crisono!” The others screamed Ladybug swung her Yo-Yo at her, it just grabbed her foot before she would fall any further, and she didn’t like that endless drop of nothingness.

But as Crisono was suspended in mid-air and upside-down. She saw something.

Something or someone was in the distance, and they were just hanging on… Or so it seemed, she wasn’t sure.

“Ladybug let me go!” She realised there wouldn’t be much time left, she had to go and see who it was before it fell.

“What! Are you crazy! -” Crisono held up her ring, reminding them both she could make that flying skateboard again, to that she was released and fell, before flying off in that direction.

“We have to keep moving forward, hopefully, one of the other platforms will rise, or we’ll just destroy it so she can get back to us” They nodded as they took off.

They dodged and fled from all the platforms that were unstable or suddenly lift into the air, become replaced within a few seconds… Or even explode with near contact.

Yeah, that’s right, explode.

The first one knocked them both off their feet, they couldn’t even rest before they saw that they had activated another one, so they sprinted away.

There was no direction or identified method to understand so they couldn’t make a concrete plan. There was no way to make any type of strategy, or plan ahead.

So maybe that was the reason she hadn’t realised she’d stepped on an explosive tile. The explosion flung her across the arena, and she wasn’t moving. Stinger felt dread flow through her.

This was not like an Akuma. This wasn’t a game.

This was a battle far greater than whatever Hawkmoth could present.

But because of that, if they could just beat this then they could definitely defeat Hawkmoth.

But that didn’t mean she wasn’t scared, seeing Ladybug on the floor like that, and on top of a moving tile no less.

“Ladybug! Wake up!” She leapt to the platform, quickly grabbing Ladybug before falling to another tile.

She was alive thank goodness! But what could she do? She wasn’t smart like Ladybug or brave, or strong like Rosina. She didn’t have any plan to help out. She hadn’t even been able to do anything but fall.

She was just Chloé…

***

When Crisono was released from Ladybug she prayed the other two would be fine, she hadn’t exactly explained everything to them in full detail since she wasn’t used to that yet, she already knew what to do but her Aunt was the one to tell her anything she’d missed, she wasn’t a leader type or a relayer of information. She just knew she had a job to do.

And that job was being a hero to everyone who needed to be saved/helped.

Just like in front of her. Whoever this person was, or thing she couldn’t tell. But she would have to hurry, she could hear and see explosions about to happen, so she knew she had to check whatever this was quick!

So, she sped along, the object becoming bigger and bigger, and she saw black and brown… Wait, that was hair! It was a person; she couldn’t celebrate as she came closer and saw it was a smaller person.

A child.

A really frightened child.

She neared the platform just as the child took notice of her, they were covering their ears because there was a lot of noise around. But they still looked really frightened, and nearly took a step off the platform.

“Hey hey there,” She carefully approached, stopping just on top of the platform, not getting off her board just in case. The kid still looked scared.

“I’m Crisono, what's your name?” She smiled but it didn’t seem to work. She looked up when there was another explosion as the little kid screamed.

“I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry! It’s all my fault I’m sorry,” Crisono stopped her smile as she grew worried, this wasn’t their fault, why did they think that?

She tried to take a gentle step forward, but the kid recoiled. She removed her arms from her sight and tried hiding her head.

Was it in fear?

What had happened while she was there, she thought, was this the reason she had some bruises on her arms?

Whatever Crisono thought it was replaced with the urge- no. Need to help this poor child.

So, she knelt down to be a bit more level getting the kids attention.

“I’m sorry I lied about my name” She raised her arms to take her mask off, Marinette was bound to be mad but she needed to do this, for the kid's sake.

“My real name is Rosina Scoats, see I’m a human just like you” She flashed a smile before moving the mask in the kid's direction.

“I know it’s not your fault, and whoever told you that is wrong so you shouldn’t blame yourself. So why don’t we get out of here ok?” The kid picked up the mask, ever so slightly. They felt it in their hands, it was really smooth and nice.

Maybe the Lady was right, maybe she could help.

Maybe she could’ve been faster.

Boom

The sound surprised the two so much…

The kid misplaced their step.

And they were falling.

“I’M COMMINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!” There was still her job to do.

She was going to be a hero.

The kid was falling and falling. They didn’t know when they would stop, if they even could!

This was all their fault; everything was their fault. That Lady should’ve never come to her, why was she there anyway? She’s going to get hurt because of her, just like everyone else, she should’ve just left-

“Hold Out Your Hands!” It was the Lady. Why was she still trying to help them? They were a curse to everyone around them!

“I’m sorry! Stay away. Leave me alone” But her hand was still outstretched.

Why?

“I won’t. I promise I’ll save you! And I’ll never leave you alone ever!” What?

“Just let me be your hero! Please!”

.

.

The kid's arms reached towards Rosina, because they finally trusted her words.

And she was finally able to grab onto the child.

“I swear” The child apologised more and more, but Rosy just pats her head.

Getting her board to fly towards her was easy.

Escaping with everyone would be a lot harder.

***

‘Why didn’t Rosy stay with us? She just had to go off on her own in this place we know nothing about. She’s ridiculous, utterly ridiculous’ Sovereign Stinger was carrying an unconscious Ladybug, she may have wanted to be close with her idol but not like this.

But she didn’t know what to do, if she had known Rosy was used to this sort of thing, she would’ve wanted no part of it.

No way, this was above her pay rate… Wait what did that mean, she wasn’t paid for this.

She wasn’t paid for any of this.

But neither was Ladybug… Or Crisono.

They wouldn’t get anything out of this, no recognition at all.

Chloé had always wondered why Ladybug continued to be a hero, sure she was adored but she never abused her power.

Unlike her.

She had proudly proclaimed she was Queen Bee, only to purposely crash a train. She preferred to have any type of fame without actually doing any work, didn’t Ladybug see that!? She was selfish, not brave or caring.

She wasn’t Ladybug.

She wasn’t even Crisono.

She wasn’t a hero.

She was just Chloé.

She was just a blonde rich girl, able to make other people do what she wanted.

.

She wasn’t Ladybug.

She wasn’t even Crisono.

.

She wasn’t a hero.

.

She was just Chloé.

She was spoilt.

She was a brat.

She was-

“Chloé. I don’t think you need to be Queen Bee to be considered a hero. We can help you. Me, Marinette and Kagami too.” She remembered Rosina cheering her up that day. She had been upset with some events that had happened before she came into the picture. She had wanted to spend some time with her Maman, but she denied, saying she had better things to do, and called her a different name again, Catharine. But Rosina was there for her.

“Chloé, you don’t need powers, or a costume, or money to be a hero.” Why was she remembering this now, it seemed too convenient for her, this type of positivity?

“Just do what your heart wants, morally do what’s best, we can help you with every step.”

Did she really mean that?

“You’ll never be alone Chloé. Just trust us.”

Yes. Yes, she did.

“Let me help you be Chloé Bourgeois”

.

She was Chloé Bourgeois!

And she was going to prove she was a hero to herself and to everyone else who wouldn’t believe in her.

But she was knocked to the ground, Ladybug fell out of her arms just as they both rolled onto another platform.

She hadn’t given up.

.

.

“What…?”

Stinger looked at her side. Her spinning top weapon. It was…

Glowing!

She picked it up, and something told her to say her word Venom.

But only to slam it into the ground.

That would’ve been strange, but Stinger didn’t question it.

She lifted the weapon into the air and slammed it into the ground. She saw that Ladybug had started to gain consciousness, looking around her environment and wondered what was happening.

She was confused when she saw spikes shoot up and strike around her.

“Ch- Stinger what happened?!” Stinger opened her eyes, looking around at what she had done.

She had created this?

“I-I couldn’t just stand by any longer Ladybug. I had to do something. But I don’t know what I did!” Stinger was still kneeling down on the platform; spikes had shot through multiple platforms all around them.

They were all held in place.

It was like her usual power, but it was subjected to others as well.

“Level 2 already?” Mrs Hernandez had taught her about even more power-ups, more than Master Fū ever had but that was beside the point, and told her how if a teen had gotten a hold of a Miraculous they would all start at the base, Level 1, but through time teens were able to unlock more levels, and that would be shown through their suits.

It had seemed Chloé was able to unlock level 2.

But there was still the time limit.

“Stinger, how long do you have?” She was looking around, she hadn’t seen Crisono for a while now, was she trapped?

“I don’t know… Four minutes? You better hurry up Ladybug, this is starting to become harder to control” Another thing the teacher mentioned, it wouldn’t be easy to control either, it had to be worked on or it wouldn’t work.

There was only one thing to do.

“Lucky Charm!” Instead of throwing her Yo-Yo into the air, she was able to reach into her bag after being told it would be a better design choice for her, and she pulled out a flashlight.

She looked around, some of the platforms were suspended in mid-air, and they hadn’t been replaced, so Ladybug could look into the hole and use the flashlight as a means of a signal.

“C’mon Crissi. Where are you?” She flicked the flashlight on and off over and over again. Hoping, just praying she was alright.

“Crisono. We’re over here please find us!”

“Ladybug! … I don’t know how long I can hold it!” Stinger sounded like she was struggling to keep control. They could only pray now.

“H-” She heard something!

There in the distance!

Red.

“Ladybug, I’m here, just hold it for a little longer!” She was flying even faster,

‘C’mon Rosy you can do it.’ She pleaded.

“Ahhh!” Stinger was pushed back and thrown across the room, Ladybug looked back in shock, oh no! That certainly wasn’t good.

But Crissi was so close now, she had to make it!

.

10 meters, a 1/3 of it had closed.

.

5 meters, halfway closed.

.

“Crisono!”

Swoosh

She made it. With just an inch left.

Ladybug hugged her; thankful she had escaped.

“Hey, I did most of the work here!” Sovereign grunted, still on the floor slightly glaring at the two… Three?

“Err who’s that?” She got up and pointed to the bundle in her arms. And why was her mask off?

“I think they were the one who accidentally activated this, but we should try to get out of here now. The Trinklet should be riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight around? -” She took several steps forward.

“Here!” The other two were confused, there was nothing there.

“Err, Crisono?” Stinger was about to ask what she meant but then she was handed the child as Crisono struck her weapon into the ground.

Then they saw it, a light high above them.

“Is that!?” Crisono nodded. Jumping up into the air and grabbing it.

Reality started warping around them, until the familiar sight of Paris made them realise, they were back!

But not in the same place.

It seemed as if the Trinklet had moved from its original location.

An exhausted blonde hero fell down, breathing a sigh of relief. The little kid ran back to Rosina. Hand still clutching the mask as Rosina transformed back. She would just have to make another one, she didn’t want to take it back.

“I’m never doing that again…”

“Typical” A voice spoke out.

!!!

A cane shot out from nowhere, catching the three-off guard, and knocked Stinger’s Miraculous out of her hair. She immediately transformed back into Chloé, dread sweeping over her.

She lost her chance of ever being a hero now.

It was all gone, her greatest fear.

“Aunty!” A shrill voice screamed and ran off to hug the attacker…

Whack

…Only to get whacked in the head.

“I’m highly disappointed with all of you” She glared at all three of them, Chloé became angry. What did she mean by that?

Her question was answered when the woman took a heavy sigh.

“Bourgeois, you didn’t even try being a hero until near the end, disgraceful. Ladybug, getting knocked out amid battle, how irresponsible. And you, Rosina. I thought I taught you better than that. Not explaining to your friends at the beginning? I’m very ashamed right now” Rosina’s face turned sad, dejected that her Aunt had pointed out something she really hated doing.

“Hey, I’ll have you know that was our first fight against, whatever the hell that was! And we won in the end, we even saved someone, isn’t that enough?” Chloé couldn’t stand back any longer, how dare she disrespect Rosina like that, and Ladybug! They didn’t know what this was, but they were able to adapt and solve it.

But the look in Hernandez’ eyes said otherwise.

“You were formerly known as Queen Bee, you held no regard for saving anyone, or being a hero. Only for fame, so how can you say anything?” She smirked as she crossed her arms.

Chloé felt dejected, yeah, she did do that huh.

But then she felt two pairs of hands on her shoulders. Looking around it was Ladybug and Rosina.

“Chloé has become a far better person than what she was, so to hold her past actions against her now as she’s becoming a better person is disgraceful.” Ladybug mocked as Rosina nodded along.

“Yeah Aunty, Chloé is trying her best, and I believe she’s gonna become a great hero in the future” She smiled, they really stuck up for her.

But she could stick up for herself just fine.

“I’m may not be a good hero yet, but I’ll show you that I can change, and next time you try spying on us, you’ll just have to be amazed when we execute another, trinket off” She turned her head up proud, a grin forming across her face.

“Trinklet”

“Don’t ruin the mood”

Hernandez stood there for a while, yet again words she was proud to hear, but she wouldn’t tell them that, they had to work for admiration.

But she could be lenient at times.

“Ladybug, you’re about to transform back. I suggest you use your cure before catching up with us. We need to take care of that little girl now” Ladybug soon had a miniature freak-out, she had completely forgotten about that, with Rosina and Hernandez there, she forgot Chloé couldn’t know.

“Right of course.” She threw her flashlight into the air, shouting those oh so familiar words she was so accustomed to as she watched small ladybugs wrap around Chloé and herself…

None went around Rosina just like she expected, it looked like Chloé hadn’t noticed but that was fair, she didn’t really have any scratches on her.

“I’ll meet you all later bugout” She used her Yo-Yo to take her away, not before taking the Bee Miraculous as well.

It was only then that she had realised something. Or two things.

That child, being carried by Rosina, the one they realised must’ve activated the Trinklet.

What was she doing inside a closed suitcase…?

And why weren’t those bruises healed?

***

“Here, this will help your arms, they should be right as water before you know it”

“Rain Rosy you mean rain”

“Same thing”

They were at Hernandez’s apartment; it was incredibly far from where they resided that was for sure.

Ladybug soon found where they were and stayed with them, after informing Tikki what had happened, the tiny god creature was happy the young holder was able to defeat a Trinklet so soon. They giggled before transforming back.

The child, which they had realised was a girl after they gave her a bath, still looked scared, but she seemed to trust Rosina the most. She stayed very close to her, almost clinging to her poncho.

If Rosina got up, so would she. And follow her around like a little puppy. Ladybug gushed at how cute it was while Chloé secretly smiled. She had never been a fan of kids but this one was cute, her black hair was gorgeous, and black skin was lovely. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of pink, everything about her was adorable.

She was an exception.

Rosina came back with the girl.

But instead of whatever dirt rag she was wearing, she wore a white dress with red, blue and yellow stripes.

“Awwwwww” Ladybug cooed.

“It was one of my old dresses from when I was younger. I’m surprised Aunty still kept it”

“Of course I did, I keep all of your dresses” Chloé smirked at her.

“Looks like you do have a soft spot for your niece huh?” She teased her.

Franchezca turned her head, but she didn’t deny it. Chloé giggled.

Ladybug decided to ask the girl some questions, crouching down to her level to try and make her feel more at ease.

“Hey there,” But immediately the little girl clung to Rosina, scared.

The spotted Lady grew worried, if she kept being scared, she could attract an Akuma. And she really didn’t want to fight a little girl. So, Rosina felt she had to encourage the girl.

“Don’t worry. This is Ladybug. A hero of Paris” A snort was heard but ignored.

“And she protects everyone. Just like me. She’s really nice as well. So, you can trust her.” The little kid looked from Rosy to Ladybug.

Until she came out and stood in front of Rosina.

“O-Ok,” The kid replied, fear vanished as she looked back at Ladybug.

“So, you were in that world with us. Are you alright?” She nodded several times. The bluenette smiled, she was like a mini Rosina, except less bubbly.

“Do you know how you entered that place?” She was worried about asking too many questions at once, it may confuse or alarm the girl.

“I-I erm. I was asleep, and I woke up cold an-and inside something. I-I was alone, and gone and- and-. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m-” Tears started falling down her cheeks as she raised her arms.

“H-Hey its ok, you’re safe now. No one will hurt you now ok” Ladybug was about to reach out to her when she flinched away, and fell back into Rosina.

Now she was nervous.

Rosina picked her up, trying to console her, rocking her back and forth. Whispering positive words to her. Saying how she’s safe now, and no one will hurt her. How it's not her fault at all.

She calmed down and Ladybug was greatly thankful. Even Chloé was relieved.

The little girl looked up at Rosina…

And booped her nose.

At first, she was confused before chuckling was heard as the three looked at Hernandez.

“I believe the kid has shown that she likes you” Rosina gasped excitedly. But Ladybug shared a glance with Chloé about what she had just told them.

Chloé, deciding she wanted in on the action, walked over. But a bit slower so not to scare her.

“So, err kid? What's your name?” The girl cocked her head to the side.

“What’s a name?”

.

.

.

‘Oh my god’

“It's like how I’m called Rosina, and this is Ladybug, and that is Chloé” Rosina pointed to them as it looked like the girl understood.

The girl looked down, fiddling with the mask. Was she nervous?

“C-Can I have a name?” The girls, of course, said yes, they wanted to shout so the heavens could hear but didn’t want to scare her.

“So, what name should we call her?” They all pondered for a while before Chloé offered a name.

“Piper” They all stared at her.

“What? Was it that bad?” She crossed her arms, ready for them to joke and berate the name.

“No, I like it, what about you? Fancy being called Piper, Piper?” The kid tried pronouncing it, with it being an easy name she excitedly chirped a yes as the girls gushed over her.

Franchezca shook her head, those girls needed a lot more training to go through.

“All three of you will be training under me” The gushing stopped as they all looked at the older woman.

“What?” Chloé hoped she was kidding.

“I’m sure you heard me, now you’ll be training under me, I’m a far better instructor than Wáng. And you all better be at your peak. Unless you think you don’t want to be a hero anymore” Ladybug and Chloé glared at the older woman, she was given her answer.

“I will not accept anything but the better, so you best put in all your effort” Chloé and Ladybug looked at each other, was she serious. Nah how hard could it be?

But then they saw Rosy salute towards her. Saying ma’am yes ma’am.

And Piper copied.

They all laughed before Chloé gasped.

“I forgot about Marinette! I’m the worst friend ever…” Ladybug and Rosina slightly glanced at each other.

Well. It was nice she remembered Marinette.

***

It was around 11pm. The sky had turned darker, and pitter-patters of rain droplets against the bedroom window had formed. A pity really, it was such a sunny day as well, there would be plenty of puddles tomorrow.

Rosina had offered to take Chloé home since Ladybug just had to get going.

When they arrived back at the hotel Marinette and Piper officially met and somehow, Piper became comfortable around her a lot quicker, Chloé would be lying if she said she wasn’t jealous.

They spent hours showing Piper the sights of Paris before they headed home. Rosina had told the two that her Aunt would try to get some paperwork to show that Piper was her Sister or something, the redhead was unsure how to explain it but then said something to the effect of like how she had done to me, it was then Chloé had realised what that may have meant and immediately hugged the girl, her being confused but accepted nonetheless.

Later Marinette and Chloé had to come up with a plan on how to bring Piper home, Marinette’s Parents would surely question it and they couldn’t say they found her in another dimensional world.

They came up with the idea that Rosina had an adoptive Sister before coming here, but because she was shy, she was spending more time with her Aunt. But then Piper had wanted to come and stay with Rosina and spend some time with her.

Luckily it worked and Sabine and Tom were just more than happy to look after another child.

Chloé had gone home, complaining about how tired she was, she was picked up in her limo and driven away.

So, it was now night. And the tiny makeshift bed Marinette was able to make fairly quickly. But Piper couldn’t sleep. She didn’t want to stay in the bed, she wants to be near that nice Lady, ro- ros- Rosy. Yeah, that was her name. She looked around and felt her way until she felt something.

There! An arm.

She wanted to tap her awake, but she was afraid if she would be angry, so she started tearing up.

That definitely woke Rosina up.

“Piper? Are you alright? Did you have a bad dream?” Piper stopped her tears and stood straight up, not daring to speak.

But she felt a gentle hand on her head and Rosy’s smile making her feel something.

“Did you want to stay with me? Well of course you can” She outstretched her arms and Piper ran into them, literally. She was clinging to her like life-support. But it looked like Rosina didn’t seem to mind.

Piper’s breathing shortened to an even pace as she fell asleep, Rosina thinking how cute she was. As she pattered her hair, she realised something.

She was a number to this little girl, and maybe more.

~Bonus~

Rosina: Hey guys -uploads a photo- I made a Sister today.

Aurore: What?

Kagami: Marinette! Explain! Now!

Noémie: This is not like how biology works, where did she come from?

Marinette: It’s a long story please just let us go to bed.

Marc: It's too late for this type of thing, I’ll sleep on it.

Aurore: I think Marc is still sleepy and hasn’t realised what Rosy said.

Luka: Would congratulations be ok to say or inappropriate?

Marinette: Luka stop this is serious, and sorry guys we’ll be going offline soon we’ll talk tomorrow. We have to get the little one to sleep… And I’m not talking about Piper.

Luka: Aww, she even has a cute name.

Marc: WAIT ROSY’S GOT A KID!?

***

Hope you liked it. Oh, and here's Piper. She’s adorable.

Oh, man, have I been drawing a bunch of stuff. My sketchbook is halfway filled with ML costume redesigns and some original ones as well. It’s been great. I drew 3 in a day and I have all of the future Miraculous holders sketched out and I’m planning to digitalise them in the near future when their chapter comes out, I’ll post the picture in due time. I’m so happy and impressed with myself, although I must admit I drew more than I wrote but oh well, I loved doing the designs as I tried to search for the best to references. Although I must admit I didn’t really like Luka’s much, he may be one of my favourite characters but I hate drawing him, I don’t know why but I think I can never draw him good, he always looks weird but I digress. Anyway, Piper has been introduced and the training has started. I’m not sure about what the next one should be, I had thought this one should’ve included more but it was already getting long, the next maybe a 3 in 1 but I’m not sure, if I can make a whole chapter then the 3 in 1 will be after. Cya later. Have a nice day/night.

I may soon be adding another love square hehe. Feel free to guess who it is, 3 of the characters have been introduced.

2 ~ First Meetings Aren’t Normal Part 1

So, I wanted to write about how Marinette and the rest met the girl. I hope you’ll all enjoy it; I was so happy so many people have liked my post. I was debating whether or not I should add my other stories on here. And it was a bit long so it will be split into two or maybe three parts. And if you want to be tagged please say and I will tag.

If Marinette was asked how she met and became friends with the new girl within a day of meeting her, she’d have to think back to the day when she had just finished defeating an Akuma and parted ways with Chat Noir. The battle had been excruciatingly long, and she only had mere seconds before detransforming into an alleyway. It had been in September, the start of the new year for her whole-class who were ‘luckily’ kept in the same group, something about once you get to a certain year you stay in that class.

“That was such a tough battle Tikki. I’m so tired now, I have so much work to do as well. I don’t know how I’m able to carry on like this.”

“I believe you can Marinette, after all, you’re incredibly smart, and I’ll help you all the way” Marinette held her closer to rub cheeks at that moment.

“Of all the people you’re Ladybug?” A voice scoffed.

‘What!?’

Marinette felt her heart stop.

She had one objective, not let anyone uncover her identity.

That objective was compromised.

She turned her head to see an incredibly short old woman with a cane and covered with a black cape. Under the hood, she had many wrinkles and a beauty spot above her right eye, and a slight yet distinctive scar on her cheek with piercing brown eyes.

“I thought Wáng would’ve chosen a much more experienced Warrior” Before Marinette could process what had happened and ask her anything she had gone. When she peeked out it was like she had vanished.

There was only one thing she could think of.

‘I have to go to Master Fū”

***

A million thoughts raced through the girl's mind at once. Tikki had tried to calm her but with no luck.

‘I was discovered as Ladybug, does that mean that my identity really was discovered? Does that mean I’ll have to give up being Ladybug? But I can’t, I still have to find out who Hawkmoth is and- no! That would mean I have to give up Tikki no I can’t I-’ When she finally arrived and swung the door open.

“Master Fū something terrible has happened! My-” She stopped and surveyed the scene around her. It looked like he had been waiting for her to come, lucky charm or not.

But what surprised her more was the fact he had laid out not one, not two, but three teacups on the table.

“This girl doesn’t have the proper training here Wáng. I thought even you had standards?” A gasp was heard, that was the same woman from before behind her.

“Master, it's her, she accidentally saw me detransform. I’m so sorry Master” She held her head down disappointed in herself but before he had time to respond the woman had grabbed the girl with her cane by her neck.

“She’s far too weak without the Miraculous Wáng. When will she begin training properly? I should’ve come sooner if I would’ve known the state Paris was in. Really Wáng, you chose a teen to protect Paris all on her own, my kid would be far better than her” Ok Marinette had enough. She didn’t know who this was but like hell, she could talk to her like this.

However, before she could glare and produce a retort Fū cleared his throat.

“Mrs Franchezca Hernandez. I can assure you than Marinette is more of a capable fighter than you’d think. For the past year, she and Chat Noir have always protected Paris from each Akuma attack that has happened. The Parisians are safe in the Ladybug’s hands.” Master Fū looked so sure of himself, but that didn’t stop the woman from scoffing.

“Whatever you say. But my kid will be joining the city tomorrow” She turned to smirk back at them after opening the door.

“I’m sure she will prove she is a better candidate than this child” She threw her hood back on before exiting the building.

“Master Fū who was that? Why was she here? Why is she even allowed to be here? Wait, is she another Guardian?” Fū sighed, he had a lot of explaining to do.

***

“So… She’s not a Guardian?” They were spending this time reviewing the events of what just happened.

“Yes and no. She had been a previous holder or the Ladybug Miraculous, but she didn’t exactly… Enjoy the experience. She quit after her first battle-” Marinette jumped up.

“What!? But it was her responsibility to protect and be a hero, she just threw that away? How can she be that irresponsible and still come here? And Tikki why didn’t you tell me?” The red Kwami closed her eyes and sighed, she didn’t like keeping secrets from her holder, but Guardians’ words overrode her holders.

“I’m sorry Marinette, but we aren’t allowed to point out previous holders, and… I didn’t like her anyway; I’d rather forget her.” Marinette smiled softly and hugged the Kwami.

“Oh, Tikki I could never stay mad at you”

“However, she still is a capable fighter, you shouldn’t underestimate her Marinette, with or without the Miraculous, she would’ve been perfectly able to win our first battle. She only chose not to use the Miraculous as she already was skilled enough. She didn’t agree with being given powers to fight, she thinks you should train for it and use only self-power.” Marinette looked astonished, was she mad?

“But how could someone without a Miraculous hold their own in a battle, Hawkmoth would wipe the floor with them, it’s too unsafe if they didn’t have a Kwami with them” Surprisingly Fū and Tikki chuckled at her response.

“You’d be surprised Marinette, when you see them in battle your opinion will do a 180°” She didn’t seem convinced but nodded anyway.

“Now I think you’d better get home; your Parents must be worried right?”

“But Master I still have so many questions, is it really alright that she knows my identity? And what about what the Lady said, someone else is coming, is she really going to replace me? Can they really be trusted?”

“You will find the answers on your own, but for now you must attend your home now” She sighed defeated but left. How in the world would she find out the answers?

She knew one thing or another, it didn’t matter how good that girl is.

She was Ladybug, right?

***

A new year, a new start, for some people yes, but for a bluenette now, absolutely not.

Because of the liar at school, she had successfully taken all of her friends and made her the outcast.

When she tried so hard to get them all back, because a little kitty friend told her too, they denied her kindness. Threw it all away.

When they all voted her out of being Class President, as they wanted someone kinder as their Class President, Marinette was done. Marinette exclaimed how she wasn’t going to be fired, but that she quit instead. She had done so much, and she was tired of being treated like dirt.

She didn’t want to set a good example.

Or one of the Marinette’s of the world.

She wanted to be treated like everyone else.

Like a real person.

‘Whatever’ The class thought before electing Lila as the Class President, she already had so many famous connections, they could have the trips of a lifetime.

And then Marinette ended her ‘friendship’ with Adrien.

He had chastised her for being so mean to the class, that she should’ve continued being friendly with them, that she should’ve continued trying to win them over a lot harder than she had. Marinette, angry, said how she had been giving her heart and soul into all of those gifts that she had made. She had spent nights making those handmade gifts and they didn’t care; she had done so much, and they didn’t care.

He was persistent that she apologises so everything could be better, that’s what he believed in.

But she laughed, the last months making her come to a harsh realisation.

Her crush had died out, and not all friends are as loyal as they make them out to be.

They didn’t talk for the rest of the year.

And no one had contacted her over the summer.

It was then that she truly realised that they really didn’t appreciate their friendship, it had taken everything in her to not breakdown and cry herself to sleep.

“I’m so tired of fake friends, I want someone who will truly have my back” Then she slept, but Marinette would smile at this memory, knowing that her wish came true.

***

It was just like any day, she wasn’t late per se, but she was still rushing to get to class, arriving before Mlle Bustier was better than later.

As she was approaching the steps she slipped and fell, her clumsiness really came in at the worst of times.

She prepared for the impact… But it felt softer than she anticipated.

Opening her eyes, she saw grey. It looked soft and felt so… Fluffy?

“How did a pillow get here?”

“That was my doing. Are you ok, you fell so fast I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to catch you in time?” A redhaired girl spoke as she stuck her hand out for her.

Marinette looked at her warily, she wasn’t anyone she membered seeing around the school, was she new or just extremely good at hiding herself?

‘Please don’t tell me the third new persons gonna betray me as well’

She got up by herself anyway, she was still cautious of others, even if she didn’t know them.

The girl rubbed the back of her head, possibly embarrassed by something, while giving a smile.

“Sorry I gotta go, my Aunt’s gonna kill me if she doesn’t see me soon” She turned to walk off but then stopped as if remembering something.

“I just wanted to say I love your bag design, I can tell you spent so much time working on that, good luck MDC” Waving she ran off inside.

‘What was that all about? And MDC? Why call me- Wait that’s my name, how did she know my name!?’ Sadly, those questions wouldn’t be answered till later.

She had entered silently, then again, no one had actually paid attention to her presence so it's not like it mattered.

Slipping to the back was easy, the place where she belonged.

But that would end soon.

When the rest of the class entered that was when Mlle Bustier cleared her throat to gain the classes attention.

“Now I know that you’re all very excited about this new year, there will be even more challenges to be presented and I hope you’ll all do your best”

“But for now, we have a new student joining today and I hope you’ll all make her feel welcome.” There were gasps and excitable whispers, another person to make friends.

‘Another sheep to follow my pack, I wonder how easy it will be to make them wrapped around my finger’ Lila smirked, convoluting all the lies she was about to make.

So, they looked at the door in anticipation.

And waited…

And waited some more.

Confusion was spread around the classroom before Bustier walked outside to tell the newbie that she could walk in.

But no one was there.

“Erm, it seems she may be la-”

A body climbed through the window and landed in front of everyone.

“Hiya everyone! I’m the new kid and I just gotta say-”

Swoosh

She was in front of Lila’s desk, taking her hand in hers.

“I love your jacket; it flatters you so much” Before Lila could respond the new girl moved in front of Adrien and held his hand.

“Your eyes are such a lovely shade of green. And you look super cute for your age” Again, she moved along before giving a comment to everyone.

“I love your hair, brown and red totally suit you.”: Alya

“Your aesthetic just screams cool, chilled and totally relaxed dude. I respect that”: Nino

“Wow I love your drawings, they look so detailed, and you look so cute, like a cinnamon roll”: Nathaniel

“Your hair cries pink but I see Rock ‘N’ Roll in you. Plus, you have roller-skates, awesome”: Alix

“That purple is such a lovely contrast to your black hair, it’s such a gorgeous colour”: Juleka

“You look sooo cute, your eyes are such a deep blue plus pink really suits you Pinkie”: Rose

“Your build shouts athletic, I would love to have a race against you sometime”: Kim

“I heard through an article you were able to produce an AI called Markov? I just gotta say that’s amazing, I would love to see how you managed that.”: Max

“Your hair is so colourful, I’m super jealous of how you’re rocking it”: Mylène

“Aww you look so sweet; I can tell you love each other so much”: Ivan

“Wow, you look absolutely drop-dead gorgeous, your eyes are a beautiful shade of blue you could totally be a model”: Chloé

“Wow, you look so adorable with those cute glasses you have”: Sabrina

“And Mlle you look so pretty, I love your hairstyle”

…

Wow, she just complimented everyone in the room.

Everyone but Marinette but that didn’t matter to them.

“W-Well that lovely of you erm”

“My name is -” The door slammed open.

“ROSINA SCOATS! I thought I told you we’re to enter together!” In came an old Lady.

Old Lady?

Marinette froze.

‘That’s the Lady from before, so if that’s her, then Rosina must be the new fighter here, so did that mean she knew I’m Ladybug? No no that couldn’t be possible, even if Master Fū knows the Lady she shouldn’t tell anyone else right?’ She hoped positively.

When no one was looking at her Rosina winked at her.

She winked?

‘Oh god, she winked at me. She knows. I’m doooomed’ Marinette groaned as she dropped her head against her desk.

“I’m sorry Auntie I couldn’t help it; I’ve never seen so many new faces before” Her smile seemed to brighten everyone's mood in the class. Except for the one who knew her much longer.

Whack.

The walking stick was residing on the young girl’s head. But her grin never left her face.

“And I’ve told you time and time again not to. Honestly, girl, being in a new place does not give you the right to ignore what I’ve taught you Amoretto” The girl giggled, obviously this was something that had happened often.

However, some people didn’t take kindly to that.

“Hey, you shouldn’t hurt your Niece, she didn’t do anything wrong” Truthfully that comment she gave Lila caught her off guard, so this was a small thank you, after she will have her wrapped her finger.

“Yeah, Lila’s right, she didn’t do mean any harm. Lay off her will ya” The class joined in minus Marinette who was still having her crisis over identities until the old Lady slammed her cane down to the floor.

“Silence. You will cast no judgement for how I raise my Cherub. You will learn to remember that. Do not continue this conversation any further. Now Mlle I suggest you learn to control your class before I settle them straight.”

Whack.

“I will be off, if you need anything you know how to contact me. Now go sit next to that Marinette girl” She turned and left them all still in slight shock.

‘How did she know Marinette’s name?’ They pondered before their minds went back to the girl in the front.

“Please don’t worry about that little scene there, you have no need to fear, it’s just an affectionate tap. Besides I’m strong enough to protect myself” She quickly glided up to sit next to the blue-haired girl.

“Hey, it's cool to see we’re in the same class MDC” She giggled before taking her seat.

“Yeah… Great.”

***

The class had gone slower than what she had imagined it to be. But as soon as the bell rang, she was immediately dragged out before she could ask the girl beside her some questions.

In the dining hall, everyone from her class was crowding around her making her embarrassed. Geez had she been the only new girl there?

“Are you alright? You don’t have to put on a brave face just for us, we can help you.” Everyone seemed to congratulate the brown-haired girl for being so nice and helping out the new girl.

“Honestly, I’m alright, I shouldn’t really run off anyway, she may not look it, but she was only worried about me. And besides, I’ve trained enough for something like her staff to not hurt me. You know what they say *‘dă shì qīn, mà shì ài’. Trust me it doesn’t hurt” She really didn’t want to talk about this apparent abuse she was facing anyway. They blinked at the phrase but carried on. They all introduced themselves and tried to get to know her.

“So how come you’ve moved here? What was your last school like? Do you want us to take you on a tour?” Alya asked the newbie. The reporter instincts growing within her.

“Well, that first question is slightly classified, sorry, I can’t tell you yet. And I’ve never been to a school before, I’ve always been home-schooled because I’ve been travelling the world since I can remember. And I think I’ll manage on my own thanks; I have my map and I’m determined to get everywhere by that” Her smile never wavered. Lila smirked, she totally seemed like an easy target, although it may not be a challenge like Alix and Max, she looked like a likeable person. One that could easily fall into her lies.

“Classified? Does that mean you’re on a Mission of some sorts? -Gasp- Are you here because of the Akuma’s? Are you planning on helping Ladybug and Chat Noir?” So many gasps and questions flew towards her and for the first time, she felt uncomfortable.

“Guys, can’t you see she’s getting uncomfortable? Sorry, they can be a bit excited over Akuma related topics. Especially Alya” The blond stood next to Rosina.

“Hey!” The one in question denied.

“Are you really going to disagree?”

“…No” She pouted.

“You’ve travelled around the world? Same, I hope we can be besties soon, travel bestie” Grinning ear to ear to the redhead.

“Hey, do you think you can teach us some phrases then? That would be so cool if you could” One of them suggested.

“I guess, I am multicultural after all, learning Mandarin was so hard for me, French was a lot easier” The girl remembered the many nights of staying up with books trying to cram everything into her brain before going to bed and other important activities.

“Statistically speaking Mandarin is the hardest language to learn and yet is also the most widely spoken native language in the world,” Max stated pushing up his glasses while Lila giggled.

“Yes, but because my Mother had some connections, she gave me the best Chinese speaking teachers she could find to help me learn the language, not as I needed it as much as they thought I would. They were so impressed **I could learn it in 8 weeks” Lila missing the attention, fibbed to gain it back, not like Rosina minded.

“Oh, really that’s quite impressive”

‘She didn’t even know what I said, and she calls herself multilingual?’

Before she could think anymore Adrien stepped in, he didn’t want the new girl to get bullied if she called Lila out for lying, he didn’t want another case of Marinette.

“Also don’t worry about never being in school before, I was home-schooled too until last year. Trust me you’ll get the hang of it.”

“Ok Adrian”

“Err its Adrien”

“That’s what I said wasn't it? Sorry, I sometimes get names mixed up, I hope you don’t mind?”

“Don’t worry we’ll all help you with your problem, I have a similar one. I suffer from tinnitus after saving Jagged Stone’s cat on a runway, and because of my selfless bravery, I was punished because the sound of an aeroplane engine burst my eardrum.” To the end, she was in tears as her classmates comforted her.

“Right, but I don’t have a hearing condition Layla”

“It’s Lila” She tried to give back a sweet smile but, on the inside, she just wants this girl to fall under her spell already.

“Ok Layla”

This was going to be a looooong day.

***

When Marinette finally got out of Dupont she felt exhausted. Rosina did look nice, but she couldn’t exactly be pleasant to her if she was anything like her Aunt. What was she really like? Was she just putting on an act for everyone else like Lila? Was she really going to try and become Ladybug?

She sighed before walking back to her house, expecting to see her Parents joyful faces as she tells them about their wonderful day.

But that didn’t happen.

“These macarons are lovely Mrs Cheng” A girl stated as she munched down on several macarons at once.

“Oh please, call me Sabine. You are such a lovely girl”

“Really? Thank you very much, I hope you’ll continue thinking of me like that”

“Oh Marinette, we’ve met your new friend, I’m so glad you two are friends so soon after meeting” Rosina turned and looked at her with a slight wave.

She wanted to faint so badly, but she couldn’t.

Because she was Ladybug.

***

I am very into an Inuyasha x MLB crossover right now, but with Marinette and Rosina being treated like a little Sister.

Anyway, I hope you like it, part two will be next. After I will ask which next part you want from either meetings with the rest of the Marinette protection Squad, Chloé and Marinette becoming friends or Piper’s introduction.

Also, if there are some more tags I should write, please say so it can fall into that category.

* dă shì qīn, mà shì ài = Hitting is affection and scolding is love

** I saw that it would take 88 weeks if you practice Mandarin 5 hours a day.
