Chapter Text
Marinette:
I jumped up and flipped in the air, sticking the land on the tiled rooftop of a store. A howl split through the air making me whip around to where it was at. The akumatized monster charged towards me. I had been shocked when I first saw it. It was a large werewolf like creature modeling the one from the new movie release. Apparently, the person was an actor that was supposed to play the part of the main character but was rejected. I figured out the akuma MUST be the microphone on his face. I lunged away, throwing by yoyo and swinging to another building. The werewolf crashed into the building and spun back towards me. Luckily all this damage can be reversed, I thought to myself. All of a sudden I felt a presence beside me. I turned to see Chat Noir in a battle stance, his baton in his hands. He turned and pierced me with his green eyes. A smile spread across his lips.
“Howl you holding up, My Lady?”
The pun was so bad I couldn’t help but to laugh. “Perfectly well. We still need to get rid of him though.” All of a sudden he charged and this time I wasn’t able to get away in time. His teeth grazed my skin and I cried out in pain. Chat Noir screamed my name and fought the dog off. I winced and stood up, ignoring the pain. Suddenly, Chat Noir landed beside me, concern lighting his face.
“Are you ok?” He asked. I nodded. Fine, it’s just a scratch on the arm, that’s all. Suddenly I started thinking over this voice. Then… Chat Noir looked at me as I gasped. “Let me guess. You want me to distract him?” He asked. I smiled and nodded. “I think I have an idea.” With that, Chat Noir leaped into action and I lifted my yoyo into the air yelling, “Lucky Charm!”.

I smiled as the city returned to it’s normal look. The poor akumatized person seemed really guilty but all was well in the end. Chat Noir leaped beside me.
“So, that was very unexpected. I was caught unawarewolf… get it? Because he wa-”
I cut him off with an exhausted, “Yeah yeah. I got it all right.”
“Hey, you ok Ladybug?” He asked, looking down at my arm keenly. Truthfully, I wasn’t, and it wasn’t about my arm. I was stressed out about my upcoming “date” with Adrien. He had asked me if I would like to go see a movie with him after school tomorrow because he caught me drawing the movie poster. I couldn’t say no because, well, it was ADRIEN!!!! But I can’t actually mess it up this time and Alya is out of town. Tiki tried helping me but then again, she is a little ladybug and what would she know?
“Yeah, I’m good. Just tired of all these akumas.” I said instead. “Yeah I feel ya. Sometimes I just wished this Hawkmoth dude would back off. You know, give us a break. We could even have the time to go on a date…”
He was cut off by the sound of beeping coming from my earing and his ring. “Got to go.” I said getting up when I felt something grab my hand. Chat Noir was sitting there looking up at me. “Ah come on, I never get to see you. Plus, if you detransform it won’t matter to me. Plus, I will too.” I desperately wanted to share this secret with anyone and what better person than Chat Noir? He was in the same situation I was in. But, I needed to keep my cover. “I’m sorry, Chat. But I really have to go.” And with that I ran home.

Adrien:
I sighed as she ran towards her real life, leaving me alone. She was right, it was safer if their identities stayed secret. But a nagging feeling took over me and I couldn’t help feel sad. If only I knew the other person who carried the same secret as me. My thoughts were interrupted as my ring beeped again. I pulled myself up and ran back to my real life.
As I ran I thought about my “date” with Marinette. That’s what Nico had called it and I couldn’t find myself denying it. She was a nice girl and was fun to be around. Even though she could get shy, I knew there was something special about her. Plus, I felt like I needed to be there for her. I don’t know why and it confuses me just thinking about it. I groaned as I flopped down onto my bed and detransformed. I ignored the little voice that sadly wasn’t in my head complaining about food and cheese, and fell asleep.
