Chapter Text

With blue eyes struggling to stay open Eric walked down the staircase slowly to his studio apartment. He walked over to the small kitchen to see a note taped to the counter in neat cursive writing. "Morning Honey, have a good first day back, sorry we couldn't be there with you, the office needed our help, see you when I get home love you ". Eric smiled softly as he read the note, and once he was done reading it he put it back on the counter. Eric's mother Corinne and Eric's father Arthur owned a law firm. It was the best law firm in Paris. Eric opened the fridge door to grab something to eat before school started. He grabbed a croissant and some strawberry yogurt, and went back to his room to eat on his balcony. Eric spends a lot of time there, to enjoy the view, and a great place to brainstorm music ideas. Eric and his parents loved to play music together, and he carries the ukulele his parents gave him everywhere he goes. Eric turned on his coffee pot that he keeps on the balcony, so he can have a warm drink when he wants to. "Hopefully Chloe isn't in my class again. It's hard to deal with her sometimes''. Eric thought he looked down at the street below to see a man in a red Hawaiian shirt on the ground trying to grab his cane. Eric rushed down to the street to help him. "Sir are you alright"? Eric asked as he put out his hand for the man to garb. "Thanks young man, but you didn't need to go rushing down to help me". The man said as Eric garbed his cane. "Nonsense you need the help; shoot I got school". Eric said as he looked at his phone. "Go you did more than enough". The man said with a smile. "Alright be careful". Eric said as he ran back to his apartment. "He's perfect". The man said as he put his cane behind his back, and walked off. When Eric got back to his room he put on a pink collared sweater, blue jeans, and white boots. He got a to go mug for his coffee, and grabbed his ukulele case as he ran out the door. Once Eric got to College Françoise Dupont saw Chloe yelling at Marinette. Eric looked over to Nino, and sat down next to him. "What's going on this time"? Eric asked Nino. "Same as always dude Chloe thinking she rules over everyone". Nino replied with a sigh. "Hey two-face you need to move for Adrien". Chloe yelled in Eric's face. "Two-face that's the best insult you can think of"? Eric replied; while giving her a side glance. "What did you just say to me"? Chloe asked with a furious tone to her voice. "I'm not moving, so you're just going to have to deal with it". Eric replied; while moving his head away from her. The bell rang, so Chloe sat down wondering where Adrien was. "For those who don't me I'm Miss Bustier now, if you have P.E Mr. Rider is going to meet you outside; everyone else meet me in the library". Miss Bustier said with a smile. "Kim I'm gonna". Ivan yelled; while lifting his fist. "Ivan what are you doing"? Miss Bustier asked. "Kim wrote this; I'm just-". Ivan tried to say, but got cut off by Miss Bustier. "Ivan, this is unacceptable behavior to go to the principal's office". Miss Bustier said. Ivan grumbled as he made his way to the office. A purple butterfly flew by, and fused with paper Ivan had in hand. "Stone heart, am I Hawk Moth. I'll give you the power of super strength to teach Kim a lesson, but in return give me the miraculousness of the ladybug and the black cat". Hawk Moth said with a sly smile. "You got it Hawk Moth". Ivan said as a black mist surrounded him. "How did you handle Chloe like that Eric"? Marinette asked. "I just try not to let her get to me". Eric replied with a smile. "That's easier said than done dude". Nino said; while he nudged Eric in the shoulder. "I just meant her, and I want to punch her". Alya said with a sigh. "You already handled Chloe better than me, and I've known her since I started school". Marinette replied. "Umm do you guys hear that"? Nino asked; while the door flew open. "Kim"! Stoneheart yelled, as he ran across the library. "Why did that sound like Ivan"? Eric asked. "Phone check, battery check I'm out of here". Alya said with a big smile. "Where are you going"? Marinette asked. "When there's a supervillain there's a superhero I'm off to videotape it"! Alya replied, as she ran after Stoneheart. "We should probably get home". Nino said. "Yeah I need to call my partners to make sure they're alright". Eric replied, as he ran out of the library to go to his apartment. Adrien sighed as Nathalie was teaching him. He tried to go to school today, but he couldn't make it. He helped a man in a red Hawaiian shirt, so at least he did something good. "Adrien we need to have a talk about school". Gabriel Agreste said. "Father please-". Adrien tried to say, but got cut off. "You have everything that you need here, so I can keep an eye on you, you don't need school in this dangerous world". Gabriel Agreste replied with a serious tone to his voice. Gabriel Agreste walked back to his office, as Adrien put his head down. "We can continue if you want Adrien". Nathalie said. "I'm going to take a break ok". Adrien replied as he walked up to his room. He sat down on his couch, and turned in his TV to find a rock monster on it. He looked down to find a red and black box on his coffee table. He picked it up, and opened it to see a bright green light. Once the light decreased a small black cat appeared, and yawned. "Wow are you like that genie in the lamp"? Adrien asked. "Meant him, but I'm better ooo what's this can I eat it"? The cat asked, as he flew over to the fosse ball table. "Hey don't touch that"! Adrien yelled as he tried to catch the flying black cat. Finally catching the cat after he tried to bite into his table. "What are you anyway"? Adrien asked. "I'm Plagg the kwami of destruction that's your power, and you have a partner that will help you stop Stoneheart". Plagg replied; while flying out of Adrien's hand. "Wait powers am I a superhero now"? Adrien asked. "Yep". Plagg replied; while floating in the air lazily. "How can I be a superhero when I can't even leave this house". Adrien said with a sigh. "You will if you put on the miraculous that will all change". Plagg said. Eric opened the apartment door with his phone to his ear. "Yeah mom I'm alright they evacuated us safely, but are you and dad alright"? Eric asked. "Yeah the office isn't close to the school, so we're safe". She replied. "That's good; well I just got home, so I'll see you later tonight". Eric said with a smile. "See you later sweetie stay safe". Corinne replied. "You too ". Eric replied as he pushed the end call button on his phone. Eric opened his bedroom door to his room to see a red and black jewelry box on his work desk. "I didn't leave this out right"? Eric asked himself as he opened the jewelry box. A bright red light appeared, and he blocked his eyes with his hands. "Hello I'm Tikki please meet I'm your kwami". Tikki said with a smile. "Great a red bug thing talks; well considering what's going on outside right now I shouldn't be surprised". Eric said with a sigh. "About that you're one of the only people who can stop Stoneheart". Tikki said. "Tikki, that rock golem, has a name other than Ivan"? Eric asked. "Yeah Stoneheart was akumatizes by the butterfly miraculous, and with the power of the ladybug miraculous you can stop him". Tikki said with a small smile. "You want me to stop that thing, and what do you mean by akumatizes"? Eric asked. "Well the butterfly miraculous has the power to give people superpowers, but whoever has it is using it for evil purposes". Tiki explained. "This is great, I can't believe this is happening". Eric said; while putting his hand on his forehead. "I believe in you Eric I know you can do this"! Tikki said with an encouraging smile. "Hehe thanks Tikki, I guess so how do I take down Stoneheart"? Eric asked. "With the ladybug miraculous you have the power of lucky charm which gives you an object to defeat the villain with, and you have to capture the akuma". Tikki explained. Eric put on the red black spotted earrings, and when he put the backs on the earrings turned a pale pink "Umm what do I do now Tikki"? Eric asked. "All you have to say is spots on". Tikki replied with a smile. "Alright Tikki spots on"? Eric said, as Tikki got sucked into the earrings. Red light surrounded Eric's eyes making a red mask with black spots. The light continued to flow down his body making a red tight suit with black spots, and a small red silk scarf appeared around his neck. Eric looked at himself in the mirror, and moved his body around. "This suit is really revealing for my frame, but superheroes are known for this aren't they". Eric said with a sigh. "Wait Tikki where are you"? Eric asked, looking around. Eric looked at his waist to find a red black spotted yo-yo. "I'm supposed to defeat Stoneheart with a yo-yo fantastic". Eric said; while picking up the yo-yo and twirling it around. Eric walked over to his balcony, and looked at the city. "Do I use the yo-yo to move around"? Eric asked himself as he threw yo-yo at a building. It latched onto a pole on someone's deck, and Eric tugged at it. Eric flew into the air with a scream of torment. He grabbed the string of the yo-yo, and turned it to move away from the deck. "Yeah I'm kinda getting the hang of this". Adrien thought to himself, but then he heard a scream. He looked by to see a blond haired boy in a red suit falling right towards him. When the two made impact the yo-yo warped around the staff, and the two were dangling in the air. "Now isn't this a situation we wrapped ourself into''? Adrien said with a smirk. "Hehe sorry about this I'm still learning how to use this yo-yo". Eric replied as he unwrapped the yo-yo that was between the two. "You must by my partner, my kwami told me about call me umm Chat Noir". Chat Noir said with a smile. "Um, call me-". Eric didn't have time to finish his sentence, because his yo-yo hit Chat Noir upside the head. "Oh no I'm so sorry Chat Noir". Eric said with a blush on his face. "Don't worry about, and what can I call you cutie"? Chat Noir asked with a wink. "Oh we have a flirtatious type, umm just call me Ladybug". Ladybug replied with a smile. "Love the originality". Chat replied with a smug look at his face. "Says the guy who named himself Chat Black". Ladybug replied; while crossing his arms. "You got me there". Chat Noir replied with a smile. The two hero's heard a building crash, and Chat Noir activated his staff. "Let's go Ladybug we got a job to do". Chat about said with a smile, and went over Stoneheart. "Hey wait up"! Ladybug replied as he launched his yo-yo onto a building to go over to Chat Noir. The two landed on the rim of the stadium to find Stoneheart with Kim standing in terror of Stoneheart. "Go pick on someone your own size". Chat Noir said as he jumped off the rim of the stadium, and unleashed his staff to hint Stoneheart on the head with. Stoneheart's body glowed green, as he grew bigger in size. "Not someone like you huh"? Stoneheart said as he tried to pick up Chat Noir, but Chat Noir jumped out of the way. "Ladybug where are you"? Chat Noir yelled as he dodged more attacks. "Do I really think I can do this"? Ladybug thought as he got lost in his own thoughts. This panic broke and saw a goal post fly towards Alya. He whipped his yo-yo towards Alya, and it warped around her waist. Ladybug jumped off the rim of the stadium, and ran towards Alya. "Are you alright"? Ladybug asked with a worried smile. "Of course I'm alright you're totally awesome". Alya replied with a big smile on her face. "Ladybug Help"! Chat Noir yelled as he was trapped in Stoneheart's fist with his staff on the ground. "Can I ask you some questions"? Alya asked with a smile. "Um not now I have a cat to save". Ladybug replied; as he unleashed his yo-yo around Chat Noir upper body. Ladybug pulled with all his might to get Chat Noir out, but when he finally did he landed on top of Ladybug. "Oops sorry about that". Chat Noir said with a smile. "Don't worry about it". Ladybug replied. "Alright let's teach this Stoneheart a lesson". Chat Noir said, but his belt tail got grabbed by Ladybug. "Attacking just makes him stronger we're going to have to come up with a different way to defeat him". Ladybug replied; while letting go of his tail. "Well do you have any ideas"? Chat Noir asked. "Um not at the moment". Ladybug replied; while rubbing the back of his neck. "Then let's use our power". Chat Noir said with a smirk. "Cataclysm"! Chat Noir yelled as a black energy went around his right hand. "My power lets me destroy anything I touch". Chat Noir said with a smile. "What a unique power that is"? Ladybug replied with a sarcastic smirk on his face. "I can already tell you love sarcasm". Chat Noir said; while leaning his right hand on the goal post. "Wait be careful"! Ladybug yelled. "Cool". Chat Noir said; as he looked at the rusted goal post. "Times up Stoneheart; I can't wait to see you turned into rubble". Chat Noir said, as he touched Stoneheart's left foot. Nothing happened, and Chat Noir tried again another two times. "Guess I can only use my power once". Chat Noir said, as Stoneheart kicked him back to Ladybug. "Now you only have five minutes before you transform back; didn't you kwami tell you anything"? Ladybug asked with a hand on his hip. "I guess I was super excited for my new life". Chat Noir replied with an awkward smile. "Well we need to get his akuma, but his body is entirely made of stone". Ladybug said with a finger on his check. "He's not attacking us with his left fist could the akuma be there"? Chat Noir asked. "the akuma needs to be on him, so of course he would hide it there". Ladybug replied with a praising smile. "Ok we know where the akuma is, but how are we going to get it"? Chat Noir asked. "Guess it's time to use my power; Lucky charm"! Ladybug yelled as he threw his yo-yo up in the air. Ladybugs surrounded the yo-yo, and a wet suit appeared. "That's some power". Chat Noir said sarcastically, as the suit fell into Ladybug's hands. Ladybug looked around, and saw Stoneheart's fist, Alya, a hose, and Chat. "I have an idea, but do you mind if you're a part of it"? Ladybug asked; as he hooked the hose on the wetsuit. "Of course I won't mind we're partners after all". Chat Noir replied with a smile. Ladybug warped his yo-yo around Chat Noir, and tightened it. "Loosen up a bit trust me". Ladybug said with a smile. "When I said I would help you I didn't think warping me with your yo-yo would be it". Chat Noir replied. "Get ready". Ladybug yelled, as he started to spin Chat Noir around and through him at Stoneheart. "This boy is crazy"! Chat Noir yelled, as Stoneheart caught him. Ladybug jumped towards Stoneheart with a smirk on his face. "Catch me if you can"! Ladybug yelled. Stoneheart grabbed Ladybug, which made a purple rock fell to the ground. "Ayla the tap". Ladybug yelled, as Ayla looked over to see a hose, and turn it on. The wetsuit expanded in Stoneheart's hand, and Ladybug was released. When Ladybug fell to the ground he rolled over to the purple rock, and got up to smash it with his foot. A purple mist surrounded the rock which was now paper, and a purple butterfly flew away into the sky. A purple mist surrounded Stoneheart, and he turned back into Ivan. Chat Noir fell to the ground, and ran back to Ladybug. "That was amazing Ladybug thanks for having my back". Chat Noir said with a big smile on his face. "No problem Chat Noir, wait your ring is beeping". "Looks like I gotta go My Lord". Chat Noir said, as he extended his staff to jump out of the stadium. Ladybug unwrap the paper to read what's inside. "You can't even tell Mylène how you feel wuss". Ladybug read; while sighing "Yeah Kim wrote it; he keeps making fun of me". Ivan said with a sigh. "I say go tell Mylène how you feel Ivan, and you shouldn't let things Kim says bring you down". Ladybug replied with a small smile. "Umm how do you own my name sir"? Ivan asked. Ladybug couldn't reply, because Alya was yelling with her phone in her hands. "So you're the new hero Ladybug, how do you get your powers? Did you get bitten by a radioactive ladybug"? Alya asked. "Um I really don't have time to answer questions right now, but thanks Alya for helping Chat Noir and I out I really appreciate it". Ladybug replied with a smile, as he threw his yo-yo at one of the stadium lights and dashed back to his apartment. Ladybug landed on his balcony, and a red light appeared taking off the red suit. Tikki flew out of Eric's earrings, and he caught her. "You did great Eric, you should be so proud of yourself". Tikki said with a smile. "Hehe thanks Tikki, I should get you something to eat". Eric said, as he pushed his screen door open to get back into his room. "Do you have anything sweet on you"? Tikki asked. "There's always cookies in the cabinet, would that work for you"? Eric asked, as he and Tikki went down the stairs. Eric opened the cabinet to get the blue box of chocolate chip cookies, and gave one to his kwami. Tikki's eyes lit up with joy as she ate the cookie. "Thanks Eric". Tikki said with a smile. "No problem Tikki; now let's see how Paris is doing after Stoneheart ''. Eric said, as he grabbed the remote to turn on the news. "After celebrating Paris's new guardian angels Ladybug and Chat Noir, rock golems are appearing all over the city". Nadja said. "Shoot the akuma, I knew I forgot something". Eric said; while grabbing his hair. "Eric it's ok it was your first time, and when you face Stoneheart again you'll capture the akuma then". Tikki said with a smile. "Wait again"? Eric asked his kwami. "Yeah an akuma can multiply, and when Ivan gets akumatizes again he'll have an army". Tikki replied. "Oh no if I would have just done this right the first time no one would be a rock monster frozen in time". Eric said with a sigh. "Just help Ivan not feel down on himself, and be ready to fight again". Tikki replied with an encouraging smile. "Ok thanks Tikki". Eric said; while giving her a small smile. "Don't worry about it too much; you're going to be great out there". Tikki said; while nuzzling Eric. Eric laughed, and gave Tikki a kiss on the forehead. "Your right Tikki I can do this". Eric said with a soft smile on his face. "That's the spirit". Tikki replied. The front door started to open, and Tikki headed in Eric's sweater pocket. "We're back Eric, please tell me you're here". Corinne said, as she looked frantically for her son. "I'm right here mom". Eric replied with a smile. "Thank god your save; with people randomly turning into rocks I'm glad your flesh". Corinne said, while poking at Eric's noise. "When you say it like that it sounds disgusting". Eric replied with a laugh. “Yeah it is but what else should I say”? Corinne said with a laugh. “Is Dad still at the office”? Eric asked “Yeah he is, we have a meeting with a client we couldn't reschedule. He told me he should be back home in a few hours”. "Let's get dinner ready, hopefully Arthur shows up when dinner is still hot". Corinne said with a laugh. The two started to cook dinner and Eric was happy to spend some time with his mom. And hour went by and the sound of a lock was heard. Arthur rushed towards his son and gave him a hug just a little too tight on ribs. “Thank god your safe Eric sorry I couldn't get home sooner”. Arthur said with a sigh. ‘It's ok dad really I'm glad you're alright too”. Eric said with a small laugh. “My little man is always worrying about me. I'm fine”. Arthur said while ruffling Eric's hair. Arthur moved over to his wife and kissed her on the cheek. ‘And I'm glad that you're safe too. Let's eat dinner, I'm hungry”. Arthur said with a laugh. The family sat down at their table and had the rare meal together. The sunshine hit Eric's eyes, and he woke up with a moan. "Morning Tikki". Eric said, as he stressed out his arms. "Good morning Eric ready for school today"? Tikki asked with a smile. "Sure schools, so fun". Eric replied sarcastically, has he got out of bed. "Wonder what today will bring; hopefully people will turn back to normal soon". Eric said; as he looks out the window to find a rock golem frozen in time. "Don't worry too much Eric you'll find a way to fix this". Tikki replied with a smile. "Hehe this time I have to remember to capture the akuma". Eric said; while rubbing his neck. "Hey Eric, who are you talking to"? Corinne asked from the closed bedroom door. Tikki hid in the pink cat hoodie that Eric slept in the night before. "Just Nino calling me before school mom". Eric replied with an unsure tone to his voice. "Alright just be ready soon I can't have you late again". Eric said with a laugh, as she walked back downstairs. Eric sighed in relief, as Tikki popped her out of his hoodie. "That was a close one". Tikki said. "Hehe yeah we need to be a little more careful; if we want to keep my identity a secret". Eric replied with an awkward smile. Tikki went back into hiding; as Eric made his way downstairs to see his mom cooking breakfast. "Chocolate Pancakes just how you like it". Corinne said, as she put the pancakes in front of her son. "Thanks mom. Don't have to be at the office early". Eric asked as he sat down, and started to eat. "I'll leave when you get to school Arthur and I wanted to make sure you were safe this morning and I can't believe you're going to school today when the city is still chaotic". Corinne said with a sigh. "Well if something happens there just evacuate us again". Eric replied; while waving his fork around. "Yeah, and we do have Ladybug and Cat Noir as well". Corinne said, as she sat down next to Eric with a coffee mug in her hand. Eric tensed up a bit when he heard his superhero identity called out from his mom. "Umm what do you think about them anyway"? Eric asked with a cautious tone to his voice. "Well there are the only ones who can fight off these supervillains, and what's with you this morning you don't seem like yourself". Corinne said with a worried look in her eyes. Eric took a deep breath, and sighed. "I guess I'm just scared about these rock monsters, and what if they start moving". Eric replied; while looking at the floor. "I know it's scary, but what did I say when your dad and I got our own firm and couldn't be around all the time"? Corinne said, while putting a hand on her son's shoulder. "Don't worry about anything that isn't in my control". Eric replied; while mumbling. "I know you would remember; now get ready for school ok". Corinne said, while giving Eric a kiss on the head. Eric laughed, and hugged his mom. "Thanks mom". Eric said with a sweet smile. "No problem sweetheart". Corinne replied, as she broke the hug. Eric got up from his stool, and went back to his room. Tikki flew out of Eric's pocket, and nuzzled his cheek. "Hehe thanks Tikki". Eric said with a small smile. "Listen to your mom's advice Eric, it's very useful". Tikki said; as Eric grabbed his dad's old black jacket with a ukulele on the back with a white shirt that had Sabrina Carpenter on it. "Tikki, the problem is that it's in my control; I'm supposed to protect Paris". Eric replied as he took off his pink cat hoodie, and put on the white shirt. "Alright, but don't worry about it; until you need to face Stoneheart again". Tikki replied. "Tikki that's what I do all the time, and no matter what I do I always worry". Eric said; as he put on the black jacket. Eric put on his black shoulder bag full of pins on his left shoulder, and his black ukulele case on the right shoulder. "I guess you're right Tikki, and I'll try not to be a worry wart". Eric said with a sigh. Tiki flew over to Eric, and nuzzled his cheek again. "It just shows that you care, and that's the first step in being a great hero". Tikki said with a small smile. "You have a point there Tikki". Eric replied; while poking her check. "Now go hide in the front pocket of my ukulele case Tikki, and I'll put some cookies in there for you". Eric said with a smile. "You're the best Eric". Tikki replied, as she flew into the ukulele case pocket. Eric went downstairs, and wished his mom goodbye, and made his way to school. Once Eric got there he saw Marinette and Alya walking into school together. "Hey you two what's up"? Eric asked. "Alya's excited that her blog blew up last night". Marinette replied with a smile. "Of course I'm gushing about it I'm the first person to see Ladybug in action, so I decided to make a blog about Ladybug called the Ladyblog"! Alya said with a big smile on her face. "If you're going to get real time footage make sure to be safe". Eric said with a sigh. "Don't worry I will be". Alya replied, as they made it inside. They saw a group of people by Ivan talking about his time as Stoneheart. "Once a monster always a monster". Chloe said with a snarky tone to her voice. "Says the person who's been mean to people for no reason what-so-ever". Eric said, giving her a glare. "Yeah you don't have to be so cruel about it, you're the true Stoneheart"! Alya said with venom in her voice. "So I'm the one who broke Sabrina's dad's arm? Just, because your lame footage got on TV doesn't mean you can act all high and mighty". Chloe said; while popping a gum bubble in Alya's face. Alya stormed off in irritation, but a certain model walked in. "Adrienkins you come"! Chloe said; as she ran after him. "Um hey Chloe". Adrien replied, as Chloe hugged him. In the locker room Ivan was on the floor listening to rock music as Eric walked in. "Hey Ivan do you have a minute"? Eric asked. Ivan took off his headphones, and nodded. Y/n sat down, and gave him a soft smile. "You shouldn't listen to Chloe Ivan, what she's saying isn't true". Eric said. "But, I hurt a lot of people yesterday". Ivan replied with a sigh. "Whoever did that to you is to blame, not you". Eric said; while putting a hand on his shoulder. "Yeah, but that doesn't excuse that Mylene is scared of me". Ivan said; while looking down. "Why don't you just tell her how you feel Ivan"? Eric asked. "Um how do you know about that"? Ivan asked. "I can see the way you look at her; it's like she's the sun and moon". Eric replied with a smile. "How do I tell her I'm not good with words"? Ivan asked. "Umm you could give her a gift, you could get her flowers"? Eric stated. "How about a song"? Ivan asked. "That's perfect you love music, so it's the perfect way to get your feelings out"! Eric replied with an encouraging smile. "I'm going to start right now, and thanks Eric". Ivan said; has he run off with a pep in his step. Tikki flew out of the ukulele case, and smiled at Eric. "That was amazing Eric you helped Ivan out with Mylene". Tikki said. "Yeah it felt nice". Eric replied with a smile. Eric looked up at the clock, and saw that it was almost time for class to start. Tikki hid back into the ukulele case; as Eric dashed over to class. Once he got there he saw a new kid next to Nino. Eric started to walk over to the two, and saw that Marinette wasn't happy. "Why does Marinette look pissed off"? Eric asked Nino. "Yeah Chloe put gum on her sit, and she thinks Adrien did it". Nino replied. "So, you must be Adrien then"? Eric asked, as he turned to face the blond boy. "Yeah that's me, and sorry I took your seat I'll move". Adrien said, as he started to get up. "Um it's ok don't worry about it I'll just sit by Nathaniel". Eric replied with an awkward tone to his voice. "You're sure I don't want to damage anything else". Adrien replied with a sigh. "You're not damaging anything really it's fine; Nino is a great person to talk to Adrien". Eric said with a smile, as he walked up to the back of the classroom. "I told you Eric wouldn't have an issue with you sitting here". Nino said. "Yeah it's just I'm new to this whole school thing". Adrien replied with a blush on his face. "Don't worry Eric and I will teach you the ropes". Nino said with a smile. "Do you think he could help me with Marinette"? Adrien asked. "Yeah dude they have been like best friends since they were like five years old". Nino replied; while waving his hand in reassurance. Class started up, and Adrien yelled out his name when it was roll call. When it got to Ivan's turn the door burst open. Ivan got akumatizes again, but this time his target was Mylene. "Mylene we're going to be together forever". Stoneheart said; while picking her up. "Ivan put me down". Mylene yelled. "I'm not Ivan anymore I'm Stoneheart". Stoneheart replied, as he put Mylene over his shoulder. "Daddy the monster's back". Chloe into her phone said with fear in her voice. "Your coming with me too you little monster". Stoneheart said, as he picked up Chloe, and jumped out the window. "Girl are you coming with me"? Alya asked Marinette. "Sorry, but I'm staying here to hide". Marinette replied. "Suit yourself". Alya said, as she dashed out the door. In the boys locker room Adrien opens up his locker, and Plagg flies out of his shirt. "It's my first day, and I don't even make it past roll call". Adrien said with a sigh. "We'll look on the bright side, you get the rest of the day off". Plagg replied while laying down on Adrien's bag. "Nope we have homework to do; Plagg claws out"! Adrien yelled, as Plagg got sucked into the ring, and transformed. Chat Noir gets onto the roof to see Stoneheart walking with Mylene, and Chloe in his arms. "I can call my daddy, and he will bring the police, the army, and the calvary". Chloe yelled at Stoneheart. "Don't forget the superhero". Chat Noir said, as he hit Stoneheart on the head with his staff. Stoneheart started to glow green, and he grew bigger. "Oh yeah forget you could do that". Chat Noir said. "You wanted the cavalry well here it is". Stoneheart said, as the stone golems start to swarm around him. "Where are you Ladybug"? Chat Noir asked himself, had he started to chase down Stoneheart. "Tikki, are you sure I can do this"? Eric asked, panicked. "Of course you can, you're the chosen one". Tikki replied. "Ok, but now Stoneheart has a whole army of rock golems". Eric stated, while grabbing his checks. "Eric, take some deep breath's ok; just follow me". Tikki replied, as she started to take slow deep breaths. Eric copied her, and soon started to feel a little less panicked. "Thanks Tikki". Eric said with a smile of relief. "Don't mention it, but now you need to help Chat Noir". Tikki replied, as Eric nodded. "Tikki spots on"! Eric yelled, as Tikki got sucked into the earrings and transformed. Ladybug got to the roof of the school, and whipped his yo-yo to get to Chat Noir. Ladybug heard a scream of fear, and rushed towards it to see Alya trapped behind a car. "Alya"! Ladybug yelled; has he threw his yo-yo around a lamp post and the car to get her out. Alya fell to the ground, and got up with a groan. "Ladybug you saved me"! Alya yelled with excitement in her voice. "You need to get out of here, and somewhere safe". Ladybug replied; he noticed Cat's staff and kicked it up with his foot. Ladybug through his yo-yo at lamp post, and dash towards Chat Noir. "Chat Noir, extend it"! Ladybug yelled, as he threw the staff. Chat grabbed it, and extended it falling towards the ground. Ladybug warped his yo-yo around Chat's foot, and pulled him up to the lamp post he was sitting on. "Sorry I was late Chat". Ladybug said with an apologetic smile. "My Lord did I ever tell you that you turn my world upside down"? Chat Noir replied with a wink. "I love your flirtatious banter Chat, but we have a city to save". Ladybug said with a wink, as he jumped off to the rooftops. "Hey wait shouldn't we go after them". Chat asked; as he caught up to Ladybug. "An akuma can multiply the only way to free them would go right to the source". Ladybug replied, as they landed by the Eiffel Tower. "Release my daughter mediately"! The mayor yelled. "You know what you can have her"! Stoneheart yelled, as he threw Chloe. "I promise I'll be nice to everyone, and never complain again-". Chloe pared, but Ladybug caught her. "I never promised". Chloe said as she jumped out of Ladybug's arms. "Um what was that about"? Ladybug asked Chat Noir. "I don't know". Chat replied. "Now we have room to attack fire at will"! A police officer yelled. "Wait don't do that you'll know it will just make it worse"! Ladybug yelled. "Unlike you I have a plan to let the pros handle this you already failed once". The officer replied. "He's right if I would have just remembered to capture the akuma this wouldn't be happening". Ladybug said; while looking down at the ground in shame. "It was our first time, and without you she wouldn't be here right now, so we're going to prove them wrong". Chat Noir replied with a smile. "Thanks Chat". Ladybug replied. Stoneheart started to make sounds of discomfort, and fell to the ground. He threw up purple butterflies, and they formed a face. "People of Paris I am Hawk Moth". Hawk Moth said in a dark tone. "Hawk Moth"? Ladybug and Chat Noir asked in confusion. "Ladybug, Chat Noir stop terrorizing these innocent people, and give me the ladybug earrings and the ring of the black cat"! Hawk Moth said. "Nice try Hawk Moth, but let's not change the roles here if you haven't akumatizes Ivan none of this would be happening. Now Chat Noir and I will find you, and we'll take back your Miraculous"! Ladybug yelled. Ladybug unleashed his yo-yo at the base of the tower, and jumped up. "Time to de-evilise"! Ladybug yelled, has he through his yo-yo to the face of Hawk Moth. Hawk Moth yelled, as Ladybug capture the akumas making his face. Ladybug landed on the beam of the tower, and smiled. "Let me make this promise to you whenever someone's out to harm you Ladybug and Chat Noir will be there to help you"! Ladybug yelled, as he opened up his yo-yo, and a swarm of white butterflies flew out. "Whoever's behind that mask I love that boy". Chat Noir said with a dreamy look in his eyes. "Chat stop daydreaming, and help me out please". Ladybug yelled, as Chat Noir broke out of his thoughts, and jumped to Ladybug. "You never take Mylene from me; come to me my stone beings"! Stoneheart yelled, as he started to climb by the Eiffel Tower". "We need a plan, but how are we going to save Mylene without attacking Stoneheart"? Chat asked. "We knew he's in love with her; wait that's it"! Ladybug replied; while hitting his hand. "Wait what you want us to make them kiss"? Chat Noir asked in surprise. "Hehe now you're getting Chat". Ladybug replied; as he threw his yo-yo at the tower to chase after Stoneheart. "Hey wait up". Chat yelled, has he extended his staff, so he could catch up to you Ladybug. Once they reached the top of the tower the two heard Mylene scream. "Help I'm afraid of heights"! Mylene yelled. "Don't worry we're going to help you". Ladybug yelled. "How are we going to bring them closer than they already are"? Chat asked, as he used the structure of the tower to flip out of harm's way. "By using our powers; Lucky Charm"! Ladybug yelled; as he threw his yo-yo up in the air. Ladybug's surrounded by the yo-yo has a parachute appeared. "What I am supposed to do with this"? Ladybug asked, as he caught the parachute. Ladybug put the parachute on his back, and unleashed his yo-yo around the tower and Stoneheart. "Chat get ready"! Ladybug yelled, as he pulled up with all his might. The force made Stoneheart and Mylene kiss, and Stoneheart let go of Mylene. Mylene started to fall, but grabbed onto Stoneheart. Chat Noir jumped off the tower, and unleashed his staff. "Batter up"! Chat yelled, has he swing at the purple paper. "Home run"! Ladybug said, as he warped the paper around his yo-yo to break it. The paper broke in a purple mist, and a purple butterfly flew out. "No more evil doing for you little akuma time to de-evillise"! Ladybug said, but saw that Ivan, and Mylene were starting to fall. "Chat Noir you got Ivan"! Ladybug yelled; as he jumped off the tower to get Mylene. "Cataclysm"! Chat Noir yelled; as black energy surrounded his right hand. Chat jumped off his staff, and touched the side of the Eiffel Tower. A part of the tower turned to rust, and Chat pulled a strip of it, and ran on it to catch Ivan. Ladybug warped his arms around Mylene, and saw the akuma. "Not this time little akuma". Ladybug said, as he threw his yo-yo at the akuma, and pulled it back to him. Ladybug pulled the string of the parachute, and the two slowly dissented back to the ground. "Bye bye little butterfly". Ladybug said, as he pressed a button on his yo-yo to release the butterfly. "Miraculous Ladybug"! Ladybug yelled, as he threw the parachute up in the air. Ladybug started to swarm the city fixing all the damage to the city. "Wow it's so pretty". Chat Noir said with Ivan around his shoulders. "Hehe yeah it sure is". Ladybug replied with a small smile that made Chat go a little pink. "Sorry about this Mylene". Ivan said with a blush on his face. "Hehe it's alright Ivan". Mylene replied with a soft smile. "Here how about you show Mylene your lyrics Ivan''. Ladybug said, while showing Ivan the piece of paper. Ivan took it out of Ladybug's hands, and gave it to Mylene. "Wow these are so hard to hear when you scream; um I mean when you sing". Mylene said with an awkward smile. "I know I scared you sorry I'll be gentle". Ivan replied. Mylene gave him a big hug, and Ivan went pink. "Oh those two are so made for each other". Ladybug said with a smile. "Just like us". Chat Noir replied, as he kissed his hand. Ladybug checks turned a little pink, and pulled his hand away. "Looks like your ring is beeping Chat see you later Kitty". Ladybug said; he threw his yo-yo at the base of the Eiffel Tower, and pulled up to go back to College Françoise Dupont. "See you later My lord". Chat Noir said, as he ran off. "Right when I made it to the Eiffel Tower the fight was already over". Alya said with a sigh. "I'm sure you'll get your scoop next time". Marinette replied with a smile. "I've got an even better idea; how about an exclusive interview with Ladybug"! Alya said with a big smile. "Ooo sounds extremely exciting". Eric replied with a smile. "And, don't forget I'm going to un-mask Ladybug". Alya said with excitement. "Yeah good luck with that". Eric whispered to Tikki with a wink. As the three entered the school a gray car pulled up, and parked. "Adrien, take a good look at that school you'll never see it again". Gabriel said. "But, father". Adrien pleated. "Without your bodyguard; Natalie has changed your schedule so you still do fencing, modeling, and Chinese lessons". Gabriel said. "Thank you Natalie, and thank you father". Adrien replied as he got out of the car with a smile on his face. When he entered the classroom he noticed Marinette giving him a glare. He sat down next to Nino, and sighed. "You know if you want to make friends why don't you explain to Marinette about the gum". Nino sated. "I'm still new to this friend's thing; how do I make this work"? Adrien asked. "Just be yourself dude". Nino replied; while giving him a fist bump. The school day ended, and earlier in the day it started to rain. Adrien walked out the door, and didn't see his car let. "Didn't you say you wanted to look for Marinette"? Plagg asked. "Yeah, but she's probably home by now". Adrien replied with a sigh. He really hoped he could befriend Marinette, and explain what happened with the gum. Plagg's ears twitched, and saw Eric toning his ukulele on the steps of the school under a tree, so he wouldn't get wet from the rain. "Isn't he that kid that Nino wanted you to talk to"? Plagg asked. "You mean Eric yeah he did, and I can do it while I wait for my ride". Adrien replied; has he pulled open his black umbrella to walk over to Eric. Adrien was about to say hi to Eric but he saw Eric's fingers start to shrum his ukulele. "This is my escape, I'm running through this world And I'm not looking back 'Cause I know I can go where no one's ever gone And I'm not looking back". Eric sang with a small smile on his face. "But how will I know when I get there? And how will I know when to leave? We've all gotta start from somewhere, and it's right there for me The possibilities are never-ending". Eric sang; as he moved his fingers along the ukulele. "Wow he can really sing". Adrien said; as his check started to go pink. "Are you blushing"? Plagg asked with a smug tone to his voice. "No I'm not Plagg"! Adrien replied; while giving his kwami a glare. "I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach Endless possibility I see it, I see it now; it's always been inside of me And now I feel so free, endless possibilities"! Eric sang with a happy tone to his voice. "Oh yeah Adrien, how long have you been standing there"? Eric asked with a blush on his checks. "Umm not that long; do you mind if I sit next to you"? Adrien asked with a smile. Eric nodded, and Adrien sat next to him in the steps. "Your voice is really pretty Eric". Adrien said, while giving Eric a small smile. Eric blushed at the complement, and smiled softly. Adrien realized what he said, and covered his mouth. "Sorry that came out wrong". Adrien said; while rubbing the back of his neck. "Don't worry about it, I thought it was sweet". Eric replied. "I'm just not used to this whole meeting new people thing, and trying to become friends". Adrien said with a blush on his face. "Yeah Nino told me a little about that, and I'm in the same boat a little bit". Eric replied with a smile. "What do you mean by that"? Adrien asked. "Well I have a hard time getting to know people, because I get too shy and shut down". Eric replied, as he looked down at the ground. "I don't know how to say this properly, but can we become friends"? Adrien asked with a smile. "Hehe of course; if you're going to hang out with Nino I'm going to have to get used to you eventually". Eric replied with a laugh. "You mean it"? Adrien asked with a hopeful look in his eyes. "Of course I do". Eric replied with a soft smile. The two boys jumped when they heard a car horn, and Adrien sighed. "Looks like I got to go see you later Eric”. Adrien said; has he got up from the steps. "I'll see you later Adr-ien". Eric replied with a light wave, and a blush on his checks. "You just started school, and we already have two love birds". Plagg said with a smug tone to his voice. "It's not like that Plagg he's just a friend; a friend". Adrien replied as he looked behind him, and gave Eric a soft look. "Tikki, he thinks my voice is pretty". Eric said in a soft voice. "Yes he did, and I'm sensing something between the two of you"? Tikki asked with a small smile. "Hehe who knows Tikki; we should probably start handing it home". Eric replied; has he got up off the steps. Tikki flew into his ukulele case, and Eric started to walk back to his apartment. "Looks like you made the right choice Master". A little green turtle said. "Those two are made for each other". The guy in the red hawaiian shirt replied; has he started to walk away from College Françoise Dupont.

Chapter Text

The smell of sizzling bacon, and the olive oil spiking around a skillet. Eric was making Cheesy Croissant Casserole for Adrien's birthday, and he woke up early to get it made in time.

"Tikki can you grab the heavy cream for me"? Eric asked his kwami. 

"Sure thing". Tikki replied, grabbing the cream from the fridge. 

"Thank you Tikki". Eric said, he poured one cup of heavy cream into a bowl. Eric garbed the blue egg carton next to him, and cracked eight eggs into the bowl. Next Eric put in two tbsp of finely chopped chives, two tsp of chopped thyme leaves, Kosher salt, ground black pepper, cayenne, and three cups of whole milk, and whisked it into the bowl. 

"Hopefully Adrien likes this". Eric said; as the timer for the croissants went off. 

"He'll love it, you made it for him". Tikki replied with a smile. A hot tingly feeling went to Eric checks; as he garbed the croissant pan with his gloved hands. 

"Let's see Tikki". Eric replied; as he put the pan on the counter. 

"I just know Adrien's going to like Marinette's scarf better". Eric said garbing gruyère, mozzarella, and brie from the fridge. 

"Eric, why would you think that"? Tikki asked; while flying after Eric who was shredding the cheeses. 

"I just don't know what he'll think about food as a birthday gift". Eric replied; as he started to fold the cheese in the cream egg mixture. 

"You've been planning this dish for a week now, and that proves you care". Tikki replied; as Eric went over to the skillet to take the bacon off. 

"I guess you're right Tikki". Eric replied with a small smile. Tikki nuzzled his check, and Eric laughed sweetly. 

"Hehe alright Tikki I need to prepare the pan for the casserole ''. Eric said; as he grabbed a knife to chop up the bacon into bite size pieces. Eric grabbed a nine by thirteen pan, and greased it with butter. Eric scattered the croissants with the bacon in the pan, and poured the cream egg mixture on top. Eric grabbed the pan, and opened the oven door to put the pan inside. 

"Now we just have to wait 45 minutes". Eric said, as the two went up to Eric's room. 

"Now it's time to work on Chat's gift". Eric said, he sat down at his work desk. Eric opened his laptop, and started to finish up editing the song for his partner. 

"When will this be a good time to give this to Chat"? Eric said with a sigh. 

"You have patrol night". Tikki replied. 

"Yeah we do, but I can't wait to give this to him. He hasn't shut up when I told him I liked to sing". Eric replied with a laugh. 

"I'm sure he'll love it". Tikki said with a smile. Eric unplugged the flash drive from his laptop, and put it in his school bag. 

"The casserole is almost done, and school starts soon". Eric said; he grabbed his pink collared sweater, Eric grabbed his white shoulder school bag, and his black ukulele case to head out to the kitchen. Once Eric and Tikki made it downstairs Eric opened the oven to get out the casserole. Eric put the casserole in a container, and locked it. 

"Let's go Tikki". Eric said; as Tikki flew into the ukulele case. It was mid day, and Adrien was talking to Nino about his party. 

"What do you mean he said it wasn't a good idea"? Nino asked. 

"My father is super strict, and I haven't even seen him today". Adrien replied with a sigh. 

"That's not cool dude; can't you're father remember when he was a kid and wanted to have fun"? Nino asked. 

"Nope I think he's always been this way". Adrien replied; while rubbing the back of his head. 

"Yo Eric convince Adrien that his dad is messed up"! Nino yelled; he saw the blonde walking up towards the school. 

"I think you have that down already Nino". Eric replied with a smirk. 

"So, I'm guessing this means the party is off"? Eric asked. 

"Yeah my father doesn't think it's a good idea". Adrien replied with a sigh. 

"I'm sorry Adrien I know you were looking forward to this". Eric replied with an apologetic smile. 

"It's not your fault, so don't worry about it". Adrien replied; as he felt tingling in his checks. 

"Umm here I made Cheesy Croissant Casserole for your birthday". Eric said; while taking out the container. 

"Wow thanks; Eric you made this"? Adrien asked, taking the container. 

"Yeah I thought you would love a home cooked meal". Eric replied with a blush on his checks. Eric felt arms wrap around him; as Adrien hugged. His check grew warmer as Adrien pulled away. 

"Sorry, thanks for the food". Adrien said with rose colored checks. 

"Umm don't worry about it; pulsed I liked the hug". Eric replied with a mumble. The three heard a russell in a bush, and popped out Marinette with a blue gift with a pink bow warped around it. Marinette hid it behind her back as soon as she got her footing. 

"Um-hey". Marinette said with a blush on her checks. 

"Hey". Adrien replied awkwardly. 

"I like to give you- a give a make, um I mean give you a -make I gift-". Marinette tried to say, but kept shuttering. 

"Oh god Marinette take some deep breaths". Eric thought to his best friend. Eric wished that Marinette would learn to somewhat form a sentence around Adrien, but that's one of the reasons why he loves her so much. Eric heard footsteps, and saw Chloe walking over to Marinette with a frustrated look in her eyes. 

"Out of the way"! Chloe yelled; as she pushed Marinette away to the bushes. 

"Chloe why did you do that"! Eric asked, but didn't get a response from her.

"Happy birthday Adrienkins"! Chloe yelled, giving a kiss to the blonde's check. 

"Hehe um thanks Cho". Adrien replied with an awkward smile. 

"So, did you get my present"? Chloe asked. 

"Umm no". Adrien replied; while giving her a raised eyebrow. 

"Those delivery guys were probably too big for them to carry those slackers; I'll make sure you get it from them by tonight". Chloe replied; while giving him another kiss on the check. Nino nudged Adrien's shoulder with a smile on his face; while Eric just sighed with a hand on his forehead. A gray car showed up, and Adrien eyes dropped to the ground. 

"I've got to go for a photo shoot, and thanks for the food Eric". Adrien said with a wave; as he got inside the car. Once the car left Nino put an arm around Eric's shoulder. 

"Care to join me for a convo with Adrien's pops; your polite awkward social skills will give us an extra bonus"? Nino asked with a smile. 

"Wow, thanks Nino but I can't go to my mom and dad home for once". Eric replied with a roll of his eyes. 

"Alright, but I'll text you as soon as we know the results of this party". Nino said with finger guns. 

"You're a dork, you know that right". Eric replied with a laugh. 

"Come on you know you love me, but anyways you're still teaming up with me for the music right"? Nino asked with a smile. 

"Of course I will we're best buds, and I'll see you soon". Eric replied; while waving Nino goodbye. 

"Nino seems really excited for Adrien's party". Tikki said; while popping her head out of the ukulele case. 

"Yeah he does. Nino wants to give Adrien the best friendship to ever face human kind". Eric replied with a laugh. 

"Still you and Nino are great friends for him". Tikki said. 

"Hehe I guess we are". Eric replied with a sweet smile. Tikki put her head back into the ukulele case; as Eric opened the door to their apartment. 

"Hey mom, dad, how's the office"? Y/n asked seeing his mom and dad at the kitchen counter.  

“Good so far just getting through the busy work”. Corinne replied. 

“The monthly one and ones went alright I'm just looking forward to getting them done with”. Arthur replied  

"Anyways, let's eat before school starts." Corinne said while pushing over a small plate of Cheesy Croissant Casserole.

 Adrien put his hands on his face looking out the window; as the car drove back to his mansion. 

"Don't look so down kid at least you get to rest up before school". Plagg said, while popping his head out of Adrien's bag. 

"Yeah, but I'm bummed that I won't get my first party today". Adrien replied with a sigh. 

"Screw your father we can have a party of our own"! Plagg said with a smirk. 

"Thanks Plagg you really know how to cheer me up". Adrien replied, while poking Plagg's head.

"Don't mention it". Plagg said; while facing his head away from his owner. Adrien gave a smile to Plagg at trying to be more affectionate. The car parked, and Adrien opened the door to get out. Once he got inside his house he saw Nino. 

"He does everything you ask of him piano, Photo shoots, Chinese lessons, and fencing show some awesomeness dude- I mean sir it's all he wants". Nino said with his hands in a pleasing position. 

"Nino you came". Adrien said with a small smile. 

"Of course I did, dude you're my best man". Nino replied; while giving him a wink. 

"I decide what's best for my son, and I've decided you're a bad influence now leave"! Gabriel Agreste yelled. 

"Come on father he was just trying to do something cool for me". Adrien pleated with a sigh. Nino walked out the door with a frustrated motion in his walk. 

"Nino please you know how my father can be''. Adrien said; while grabbing his shoulder. 

"Your dad Adrien is not cool what-so-ever". Nino replied while walking off. Nino ran over to the park, and sat down on a bench. He started to blow bubbles, but saw a kid crying because he didn't want to leave. 

"Adults ruin everything all the time". Nino said; while his grip on his bubble wand got tighter. A purple butterfly flew by Nino, and went into the wand. 

"My name is Hawkmoth, and Bubbler is now yours. I'll give you the power to stop these adults, but you need to bring me the Miraculous of the ladybug and the black cat". Hawkmoth said with a dark tone. 

"Yes Hawkmoth". Nino replied with a malicious tone as a purple mist surrounded him. His skin became a pale blue, black, blue, red, and surrounded his body, a red bubble wand like hat from around his head, and his bubble wand became bigger on his back. 

"Yo this is so cool dude"! Bubbler said; while jumping to the rooftops. 

"Off the chain"! Bubbler yelled; as he dashed around Paris from the building, and trapped every adult in a green tinted bubble. 

"It's nice to finally see my son in the daytime ". Corinne said, while kissing his son's check. 

"Hehe same here mom". Eric replied with a sweet smile. A green tinted bubble came flying into the apartment, and trapped Corinne and Aruther inside. 

"Mom, Dad"! Eric yelled; as his mother flew off into the sky. 

"Hawkmoth must have released another akuma". Tikki said, flying out of Eric pocket 

"We need to save my parents"! Eric replied. 

"Tikki spots o-". Eric tried to say, but a bubble came and trapped Eric inside. 

"Eric"! Tikki yelled, as her owner flew away in a bubble. Eric was banging his elbow against the bubble trying to pop it. 

"I can't transform without Tikki, so how am I going to save Paris"? Eric asked himself with a sigh. The bubbles in the air showed a face, and the face was laughing. 

"Yo little dudes the adults are gone, so have some fun it's the Bubbler's gift to you"! The Blubber laughed. 

"Wait Nino; obviously talking to Adrien's dad didn't work". Eric thought. 

"Where is this bubble taking me, and hopefully Chat Noir is already after Bubbler"? Eric asked; while laying down deeper into the bubble. Adrien took a bite of the casserole, and moaned in delight.

"Plagg you would love this it's really cheesy". Adrien said, and Plagg perked his head up. Plagg flew over to Adrien, and Adrien lifted his fork to Plagg's mouth. Plagg took a bite, and his eyes shined in glee. 

"Adrien just date this kid already; if he's going to make cheesy food like this"! Plagg yelled. 

"I don't think you would approve of me dating a guy anyways I don't even know if I like guys"? Adrien asked with a blush on his face. 

"Adrien you flirt with Ladybug all the time and whenever you look at Eric you get red in the face". Plagg said with a smirk. 

"Whatever we have school to go to". Adrien replied; as Plagg flew into his white dress shirt. 

"Natalie, Father"!? Adrien yelled, but didn't hear anything. 

"I shouldn't even be surprised I only saw him when Nino was here". Adrien thought; as he opened his door. 

"Yo birthday boy you're daddy's gone, so the mice will come out to play"! Bubbler said; while standing on top of a bubble that Eric was in. 

"Nino, why is Eric in a bubble"? Adrien asked, looking at Eric who didn't look pleased. 

"Never mind that I've got your friends here to party"! Bubbler yelled; as his classmates yelled in excitement. Bubbler jumped off the bubble, and grabbed it to push it to his DJ equipment. The bubble popped, and Eric fell to the ground with a moan. Adrien ran up to Eric, and put out his hand for Eric to garb. Eric grabbed his hand, and a blush formed on his cheeks.

"Thanks Adrien". Eric said with a small sweet smile. Adrien checks became tingly, and he put his hand behind his head. 

"It's no problem". Adrien replied with an awkward smile. 

"Adrien, enjoy your party Eric and I have the music down". Bubbler said; while putting a hand on Eric's shoulder. Eric gave Adrien a look, and Adrien nodded his head. Adrien went off into the crowd, and Eric sighed. 

"Now if you even think of running off to get Chat Noir, or Ladybug I'll put you in space got it"? Bubbler whispered in Eric's ear. Eric nodded his head quickly, and Bubbler gave him a black guitar. Eric followed Bubbler to his equipment, and he sat down in a chair. 

"How am I going to find Tikki, and transform"? Eric thought; has he started to play. Nino and Eric would mix rock and pop together all the time, but this isn't his dorky sweet friend. Adrien was worried about Eric, but Plagg pointed out that this is the only time he could do whatever he wanted. 

"Ladybug please show up soon". Adrien thought; has he tried to enjoy the party. 

"I'm requesting a slow dance". Sabrina asked. 

"Isn't it a little early for that"? Bubbler asked. Chloe pushed Sabrina out of the way, and smiled. 

"It's Adrien's first slow dance". Chloe said sweetly. 

"Oh you know it girl". Bubbler replied; as he changed his record. Slow ballroom music started to play, and everyone found a partner. Eric changed his beat to match the Bubblers, so he wouldn't be put in a bubble again. Eric looked over to Adrien to see him uncomfortably dancing with Chloe, and he sighed. 

"He doesn't look comfortable; wait, I have an idea to fix that". Eric thought; as he changed the beat to a faster one to clash with ballroom music. His classmates started to dance more happily, and he sighed. 

"Why did you do that"? Bubbler asked; while grabbing his bubble wand. 

"Umm Adrien didn't look- happy". Eric answered awkwardly. 

"At least you're looking out for him, and I'm going to look around to see if people are having fun. When I come back, and you're not here, you're dead". Bubbler replied; while walking into the crowd. Eric looked around, and saw Tikki up on the wall of the mansion. Eric nudged his head to the left, and Tikki flew to the left side of the mansion. Eric took a quick look around, and dashed outside. 

"Eric thank god you're safe"! Tikki said nuzzling Eric check. 

"I'm happy you found me Tikki". Eric replied with a smile. 

"Time to pop the Bubbler Tikki spots on"! Eric said, and Tikki flew into his earrings Eric transformed into Ladybug, and jumped up the wall.

"Wow Bubbler you didn't invite a superhero to this party; aren't we staples of birthday parties"? Ladybug yelled with a smirk. 

"You're here to crash my party, and I'm not going to let you"! Bubbler yelled; as he unleashed his bubble wand. Ladybug dodged the bubbles that Bubbler threw at him, and jumped off the wall to fight him. The guest ran away when the fight broke out, and Adrien ran to his room. 

"I'm such an idiot; Plagg claws out"! Adrien yelled; as Plagg got sucked into his ring. Chat Noir jumped out his window to see Ladybug's yo-yo jump back to him, and dash into action. He pulled out his staff, and hit the yo-yo into the air. 

"Just in time huh My lord"? Chat asked with a smirk. 

"You know I could have just pulled the yo-yo back to my hands, but thanks". Ladybug replied; as the yo-yo hit Chat on the head and back into his hands. Bubbler yelled, and threw bubbles at the heroes, and they dodged them. The Bubbler laughed, and snapped his fingers as the bubbles started to swarm Ladybug and Chat Noir. 

"Wait, these bubbles aren't coming off"! Ladybug yelled, shaking his arms. The small bubbles became one big bubble, and the two started to bang on the bubble. 

"Haha now you two can't bash my party"! Bubbler yelled with a smile. 

"You have adults trapped in the sky, and kids need them to take care of them, they love them"! Ladybug yelled. 

"Not all of them". Chat mumbled. 

"If you two like them so much why don't you join them"! Bubbler yelled; as he ran over to them to kick the bubble in the air. The bubble started to fly into the air, and the two were trying to pop it. 

"I know I can use my power to pop this bubble". Chat Noir said with a smile. 

"Please I don't want to be stuck in this bubble forever". Ladybug replied. Chat smirked, and leaned into Ladybug. Ladybug pushed him off him, and grabbed his bell. 

"If you want to fly into space, and die a quick death of low oxygen be my guest". Ladybug replied with a smirk. 

"Alright I'll do it; Cataclysm"! Chat Noir yelled; as black energy surrounded his right hand. Chat poked the bubble, and it popped. The two started to fall to the ground, and Ladybug grabbed Chat Noir's hand. 

"Kitty use your staff, and throw it there"! Ladybug said; while pointing to the Eiffel Tower. Chat nodded, and through his staff at the tower. It hooked to a beam of the tower, and Ladybug unleashed his yo-yo. 

"Hold on tight"! Ladybug said; as he pushed his yo-yo to move towards the ground. The landed, and Ladybug grabbed Chat Noir's staff and threw it at him. 

"Um we got to hurry before I transformed back". Chat Noir said; as his ring started to beep. 

"Don't worry we will". Ladybug replied; as he threw his yo-yo at a lamp post to go back to the mansion. Once the two got there the guest started to yell in excitement. 

"Looks like no one wants to party with you anymore Bubbler". Ladybug yelled with a smirk. 

"What's wrong with you guys your such haters"! Bubbler said; as he unleashed his bubble wand. The guest got trapped in bubbles, and flew off into the sky. 

"Good luck trying to save your friends now"! Bubbler yelled while jumping to the Eiffel Tower. 

"Let's go my lord". Chat Noir said with a wink. Ladybug nodded, and the two went after Bubbler. The Bubbler was in the middle of the tower, and throwing explosive bubbles at the heroes. Ladybug and Chat Noir jumped out of the way, and jumped up the tower. Once the two made it to Bubbler they jumped out of the way of another bubble. 

"My lord we need to hurry, I'm going to change back soon". Chat yelled. 

"Lucky Charm"! Ladybug yelled; as he threw his yo-yo in the air. Ladybugs surrounded the yo-yo, and a big red and black spotted wrench fell in his hands. 

"Is your plumbing skills are to help us out"? Chat Noir asked; as Ladybug gave him a confused look. Ladybug looked around, and saw the air conditioning. 

"It's not plumbing, but it will do". Ladybug said; as he ran up to the air conditioning, and unhooked the pipe. 

"Chat Noir catch"! Ladybug yelled; as he threw the pipe at Chat Noir. Air was coming out of the pipe, and was blowing the bubbles out of the way. Bubbler waved his wand again, but Ladybug hooked his yo-yo around it. 

"No"! Bubbler yelled; as Ladybug grabbed the wand. 

"Get out of here you nasty insect"! Ladybug yelled; as he broke the bubble wand. 

"No more evil doing for you little akuma time to de-evillise"! Ladybug said; as he opened up his yo-yo to capture the akuma. 

"Bye bye little butterfly". Ladybug said; as he opened his yo-yo up to release the white butterfly. 

"Miraculous Ladybug"! Ladybug yelled; as he threw the wrench in the air. The wrench exploded into ladybugs fixing the city, and putting the adults back to the ground. 

"Pound it"! Ladybug and Chat said, as they fist bumped. 

"Dude what happened"? Nino asked. 

"You were akumatizes, and I'll take you home soon ok". Ladybug replied with a sweet smile. 

"I have to go, my lord, until next time". Chat Noir said, while kissing Ladybug's hand. Chat Noir jumped off the tower, and Ladybug gave him a smile. 

"Alright let's take you home Nino". Ladybug said; while putting out his hand for Nino to garb. Later that night Adrien was watching a movie with Plagg, but his alarm went off. 

"Oh right patrol tonight". Adrien said; while turning off his alarm on his phone. 

"Can't we skip tonight we deserve to relax after facing off Bubbler"? Plagg asked while flying towards Adrien. 

"We can't Plagg, but I promise we'll finish the movie after". Adrien replied with a smile. 

"Plagg claws out"! Adrien said, as Plagg got sucked into his ring. Chat Noir jumped out his window, and went to the Eiffel Tower. Once Chat Noir got to the tower he saw Ladybug sitting on the rim of the tower.

"My lord you're already here". Chat Noir said with a smile. 

"I'm always here before you, and happy birthday Kitty". Ladybug replied; while giving him a hug. Chat Noir blushed, and hugged him back. 

"You remember it was my birthday". Chat Noir replied with a smile. 

"Why would I forget your birthday; you're my partner Kit Cat". Ladybug replied; nudging Chat's shoulder. 

"Let's just say my father hasn't even wished me a happy birthday let, so I'm happy you remembered my lord". Chat Noir replied with a cute smile. 

"I'm sorry Chat, but I made you something". Ladybug said with a smile. 

"Wait, you made me something, what is it"? Chat replied; while his tail perked up in excitement. Ladybug grabbed his yo-yo, and opened it to pull out a flash drive. 

"You've been wanting me to sing for you ever since we played Persona together. Well you watched me play ". Ladybug replied; while handing over the flash drive to Chat. 

"Thanks Ladybug I really appreciate it". Chat Noir said with a smile. 

"We should start portal huh"? Chat Noir asked.

"I decided to start it early, so you could enjoy your birthday tonight". Ladybug replied with a smile. 

"You're spoiling me my lord". Chat Noir replied with a smirk. 

"Hehe I thought you would appreciate it Chat". Ladybug said with a blush on his face. 

"To make this the best birthday ever you could do one more thing for me"? Chat Noir asked; while giving Ladybug a flirtatious look. 

"Find Kitty I'll do it". Ladybug replied; while kissing Chat's cheek. Chat Noir blushed, and his smirk turned to a sweet smile. 

"Well I got to go Kitty see you later". Ladybug said with a blush on his face, and jumped off the tower. Chat Noir touched where Ladybug kissed him, and smiled brightly.

"One day I'll figure out these feelings for you my lord". Chat Noir said with a small smile.

Chapter Text

"Today we have an amazing opportunity for students; you're making a fashion piece for Gabriel Agreste's fashion line this year. Which will be modeled by our very own student Adrien Agreste". Mr. Damocles said to the class. 

"Remember to put in your best effort for your piece". Miss Bustier said with a bright smile. 

"Now the fashion piece for this year is derby hats". Mr. Damocles said while Miss Bustier put a picture of a derby hat on screen.

"You have until the end of the day to get it done so get on top of this as soon as you can". Mr. Damocles said in a stern voice. Since this was the last class of the day students were handing out in the front of the school waiting to be dismissed to leave. Marinette on the other hand was panicking to Alya and Eric about the derby hat they had to make. 

"I have no designs for a derby hat if they would have given me any other hat I would have this no problem". Marinette said while dropping down to the bench that Alya and Eric were sitting at. 

"Come on girl, this can't be that bad". Alya said with her arms crossed. 

"Alya does have a point, Marinette you have tons of fashion designs. I've seen them first hand". Eric said with a reassuring smile. 

"You guys overestimate me Adrien's never going to like me if I mess up and then we'll never get married"! Marinette wallowed with a dramatic sigh. 

"Alright girl let's see what you have in that book of yours''? Alya said with a gesture of waving her hand to have the pink book. Marinette handed it over and Alya looked inside. 

"See you have tons to work with here". Alya said. 

"You really think so"? Marinette said with a light hope to her eyes. 

"Of course we do''. Eric replied while patting his best friend on the back. The three were too distracted to see Adrien walking their way.

"Wow Alya you're really talented you have a chance at winning this thing". Adrien said with a smile. 

"Oh these sick designs belong to Marinette". Alya replied while pointing to Marinette. 

"Really that's cool Marinette I didn't know you liked designing things"? Adrien said with a warm smile. 

"Umm yeah I like making designs that are design like- wait um no that go up"? Marinette said while miss-reading Alya's signals to her. 

"Umm alright but like I said before you have a great chance at winning can't wait to see what you make". Adrien said with a wave. 

"Marinette, this is great. Adrien thinks you have a great chance at winning the contest". Eric said with a shin to his blue eyes. 

"Adrien -like -designs". Marinette said with a star glazed look in her eyes. Alya snapped her fingers and Marinette jolted out of her fantasy. 

"Right I need to get started right away; how much time do we have lifted Alya"? Marinette asked. 

"We have about six hours to go". Alya said while showing the two her phone. 

"Let's get this show on the road"! Eric said, pumping his hand in the air. 

"Marinette, why are you walking away like that"? Alya asked, seeing Marinette walking off with stiff movements. 

"Umm I'm going to my secret garden of inspiration and Eric you're coming with me"! Marinette said while grabbing Eric's wrist. 

"Why does Eric get to go with you"? Alya asked, tapping her foot on the ground. 

"He helps me focus and comes up with great ideas. We've been doing this system for years". Marinette replied with a crack smile. 

"Yeah alright but I'm still making sure that both of you are on track". Alya replied. 

"Don't worry Alya we got this". Eric said while waving his hand in reassurance. Marinette and Eric sat down together by stairs that's by a fountain. Eric listed off some ideas for derby hats but none of them felt right. 

"Would some music help you get inspired"? Eric asked with a smile. 

"Yeah it would help me calm down; I had no idea this would be so hard". Marinette said with a sigh. 

"Nobody said this would be easy, you just got to believe in yourself Marinette". Eric replied while nudging her side. 

"I guess you're right huh Eric ". Marinette said with a laugh 

"Anyways music I think I got just the right song too". Eric said, opening up his ukulele case and taking out his ukulele. 

"When all alone in my chair, I just go about wishin'

I wanna be strong, I really wanna be trusted

When all alone in my bed, I just go about yearnin'

I wanna be cool, I also wanna be like him". Y/n sang while shruming the cords to "Believe in Myself". It went like this for a while Eric sang different songs while Marinette worked on different designs.

"Ugh that one doesn't work either". Marinette said with a sigh. 

"What was the idea behind this one"? Eric asked. 

"Well your music reminded me of the times you made me play Sonic with you so I designed it off Sonic and Shadow". Marinette replied with a small blush on her cheeks. 

"Aww Mari that's so cute". Eric replied while looking at the hat. Half of it was blue and the other half was black; with a hero chao on the blue side and a dark chao on the black side. 

"You really think so"? Marinette asked. 

"Of course I do". Eric replied with a warm smile. The two heard a noise and saw a man walking over to a bench like a pigeon. He sat down and pulled up a bird call that was around his neck. He played the instrument and a group of pigeons went to him and looked at the man. 

"My lovely pigeons, hello I've got food for you all". The man said, grabbing a bag and throwing seeds up in the air. Officer Roger walked up to the man and blew his whistle. 

"Mr. Ramier, I've told you multiple times not to feed the pigeons". Officer Roger said while tapping his foot. 

"But, who's going to feed my beloved Pigeons"? Mr. Ramier asked. 

"The park keepers will and speaking of them they have told me you've been banned from every park in Paris so get out"! Officer Roger yelled. Mr. Ramier sighed and walked away slowly from the bench. 

"Wow that was kinda harsh". Marinette said. 

"Yeah, but Mr. Ramier just needed an outfit to fit in with the pigeons don't ya think"? Eric asked with a small smile. 

"Wait that's it"! Marinette said while twirling her pen and started to draw.

"So a man acting like a pigeon gets you an idea but ones of nostalgia don't"? Eric asked while raising his eyebrow. 

"Hehe sorry but can I get this done"? Marinette asked with a small smile. 

"Alright". Eric replied. After Marinette was done drawing she and Eric got up and went over to her place to continue working. Marinette was deep into working on the derby hat and Eric was working on his music. He would grab things for Marinette like her sewing supplies and even snacks for the both of them. When Marinette was trying to grab one of the cookies she dropped the hat and her ball of sewing pins. Eric turned around quickly and caught the hat and pins. 

"Uhh thanks Eric". Marinette said with a sigh. Eric smiled at her but then lost his footing and almost dropped the items he was holding. 

"Umm I'm ok". Eric said with a blush on his face. Eric put the hat back on Marinette's desk and the ball of pins right next to her. 

"Wait, I forget to grab a feather!" Marinette yelled. 

"Don't worry Mari I'll go grab one just keep working on the hat". Eric replied with a smile. 

"Thanks Eric I oh you one". Y/n thanked giving her best friend a side hug. 

"Hehe see you later Marinette". Eric said while opening the door to her apartment and walking out of the bakery. 

"I can't wait to see what this hat looks like". Tikki said, popping her head out of Eric's ukulele case. 

"Yeah she makes great stuff Tikki , you will love it". Eric replied with a smile. 

"I've been meaning to ask about how you and Marinette are so close". Tikki asks. 

"Oh our parents are friends so we grew up together; there was never a motion that we were apart". Eric replied with a warm smile. 

"I wish I could meet her". Tikki said with a sad smile. 

"Same here Tikki but knowing Marinette that might go so well”. Eric replied, poking her head. Tikki laughed and Eric dashed to the park to grab a feather. There was a group of pigeons by the fountain and after they flew away from the commotion Eric picked up the long silk feather. Eric put the feather in his ukulele case and dashed to Marinette's. In the process he bumped into Officer Roger. 

"Oops sorry sir". Eric apologized with a cracked smile and slid out of the way. The man smiled at the boy and continued his shift. The pavement below him became dark so he looked up to see a cluster of pigeons. He screamed as the pigeons picked him off the ground and into the blue sky. Eric was on the local bus thinking that it would be a faster way to Marinette's but that wasn't the case. 

"Sorry everyone but you're going to have to exit the bus". The diver said with an off tone to his voice. Eric got up and when he was about to get off he stopped. Pigeons were everywhere in the streets because the abundance of them stopped cars in the middle of the road. The big city TV turned on with Nadja Chamack on with the background being the Eiffel Tower. 

"Um we have a special report today with someone named Mr. Pigeon". Nadja Chamack said with a wavy smile. 

"Roo roo Paris belong to the pigeons now; Ladybug and Chat Noir try to stop me if you dare". Mr. Pigeon yelled with a dark laugh. Eric ran off to an alleyway and Tikki flew out of the black ukulele case. 

"Looks like you and Chat Noir have an interesting villain to take down today". Tikki said with a smile. 

"Hopefully Chat was fun playing around with the birds". Eric replied with a light laugh. 

"Tikki spots on"! Eric said as Tikki got sucked into his earrings. Eric transformed into Ladybug and he jumped onto the rooftops. Ladybug flipped onto the building his momentum stopped when he saw pigeons in the shape of airplanes

"Ok his powers are weird one". Ladybug said with a sigh. 

"Birds of the feather flock together-achoo"! Chat Noir said, twirling his belt tail but fell down the slope of the rooftop. 

"Are you alright Chat"? Ladybug asked with a glossy look in his eyes. 

"Yes My Lord, I just have a feather allergy". Chat replied while sneezing again. 

"Well this is going to make this fight entertaining to say the least". Ladybug replied while rolling his eyes. 

"We need a plan to stop Mr. Pigeon; do you have any ideas Kitty"? Ladybug asked. 

"Well all the police are missing from their post". Chat Noir pointed out. 

"Hmm that gives me an idea, Chat". Ladybug replied with a smirk. 

"Oh no I know that face". Chat Noir replied with sweat rolling down his face. Ladybug's plan was for Chat Noir to look like an officer which was just a blue hat that said police on it. Chat Noir got bored just standing there so started to dance to pass the time. 

"Chat, can you try to act natural"? Ladybug asked, giving his partner a glare. 

"What My Lord, this is natural". Chat Noir replied with a smirk. 

"For you but not an officer". Ladybug snapped back. 

"Alright I'll stop". Chat replied, drifting his right foot and stopping himself. A cluster of pigeons came up and scooped Chat Noir off the ground and into the air.

"Chat"! Ladybug yelled and unleashed his yo-yo to follow the cluster. Ladybug his yo-yo from building to building swing left to right finally landing on Le Grand Paris. Chat fell on the glass roof of the hotel and Ladybug dashed over to him. 

"I'm fine, my Lord". Chat Noir said with a small smile. The cluster of pigeons divided and sat down around the roof.

"Where's that bird brain Mr. Pigeon"? Chat Noir asked with venom in his voice. 

"He'll have to come eventually". Ladybug replied. The pigeons flew up from around the hotel and swarmed the superhero's

"Is it me or do we seem like bird seed to you". Ladybug asked. 

"Do you have any bright ideas, Bug ?" Chat Noir asked while blocking his face with hands.

"You're the cat, don't you play with them for entertainment"? Ladybug asked with a smirk.

A metal cage fell from above them and the two superheroes were trapped. 

"Roo Roo look at the cat dragged in"? Mr. Pigeon yelled. Mr. Pigeon wore a gray leotard with the top half being a bright pink. 

"If you don't give me your miraculous then my lovely pigeons will get you". Mr. Pigeon said and with a snap of his fingers the pigeons aimed their butts at them. 

"Really this is the best weapon they got"? Chat Noir asked with a smirk. 

"We're not in the position to play the cocky card cat"! Ladybug yelled while giving him a glare. 

"We can play that game later; Cataclysm"! Chat Noir yelled while black energy went around his right hand. He touched the cage and it turned to rust and fell apart. Ladybug started to swing his yo-yo and Chat Noir unleashed his staff. 

"End of the line Mr. Pigeon''. Ladybug yelled with a smirk. Mr. Pigeon walked backwards until he got to the end of the roof. He grabbed his bird call and jumped off the hotel. The two heroes ran after him only to see him flying off on a pigeon airplane. 

"Roo Roo Merry Christmas!" Mr. Pigeon yelled as a swarm of pigeons went after Ladybug and Chat Noir. The two sprinted to the emergency exit and opened the door. Once the two were inside Chat shut the door and a bulge was made on the door because of the impact. Chat Noir ring beeped and he sighed.

"I'm going to transform back soon". Chat said. 

"The lobby is this way we're getting help there". Ladybug replied as the two dashed down the stairs and into the lobby. 

"Thank goodness you two are here, my guests are getting antsy". Mayor Bourgeois said when he saw the two superheroes. 

"Can I go get a private room. I have an urgent need?". Chat Noir said while bouncing on one foot to the other. 

"Get Chat Noir a room stat and do you want a litter box"? Mayor Bourgeois asked with a smirk. Chat Noir dashed over to the elevator and was pressing the button to go up.

"Um no thank you but do you have any Camembert''? Chat Noir asked as the elevator door closed. Chat sprinted to his room and when the butler asked how he would like his Camembert he said "runny". The moment he got the silver platter of Camembert he de-transformed. Plagg flew out of the ring and landed on the bed. 

"Oh I'm so weak I think this is the end". Plagg said while putting his hand on his head. Adrien put the Camembert in the fort of Plagg and he jolted back to life. 

"My gooiness"! Plagg said while rubbing the cheese. 

"Hurry up Ladybug is waiting for us". Adrien said while leaning his arm against the bed frame. Ladybug was looking out the giant hotel windows figuring out where Mr. Pigeon went too. 

"I'm back, My Lord". Chat Noir said while twirling his belt in tail in the elevator. 

"Perfect time Kitty I know where Mr. Pigeon went too". Ladybug replied while pushing the elevator button to the lobby. 

"Don't you mean pufect time My Lord"? Chat Noir replied with a smirk. 

"Hehe that's the most basic cat joke you could have made Kit Cat". Ladybug laughed while punching his left arm. 

"I got you to smile, that's all I needed". Chat Noir smiled. Ladybug felt a tingly feeling in his checks and looked slightly away from Chat Noir. The elevator door slid open and the two dashed into the city and went to the sports center. The two landed by the entrance and went off to the side. 

"The officers are caged up in the middle of the room, this should be easy". Chat Noir said. 

"Too easy we've seen what he can do with pigeons so far his plan shouldn't be so simple". Ladybug replied pointing his finger under his chin. 

"What do you have in mind"? Chat asked. 

"Just follow me". Ladybug replied, jumping to the top of the center. 

"I'll follow you to the end of the earth, my Lord". Chat Noir replied while following his Lord. The two landed on the roof and part of it had an opening. Ladybug pushed it open and smirked. 

"Alright when I hook my yo-yo around his bird call I want you to Cataclysm it". Ladybug said. Chat nodded but feathers flew up to the hero's . When Ladybug was ready to attack, Chat Noir sneezed so Ladybug missed the bird call. The yo-yo went by Mr. Pigeon in a flash of pink and he looked up.

"So much for the element of surprise". Ladybug said with a sigh as the two heroes jumped to the floor. Mr. Pigeon ran away from them but blew his bird call. 

"Haha come here my beloved pigeon's we have a bone to peck with you". Mr. Pigeon said with a laugh. 

"I'll be honored". Chat Noir while taking out this staff. Which in the end didn't do much when Mr. Pigeon did a long ranged punch at the cat pushing him back into the cage. 

"Now you've done it". Ladybug said while spinning his yo-yo around. He dashed towards Mr. Pigeon but got punched by him and flew back into the cage. 

"Ladybug get us out of here". Officer Roger said while garbing the bars of the cage. 

"Luck Charm"! Ladybug yelled while throwing his yo-yo in the air. Ladybug's surrounded the yo-yo and a coin with a ladybug dotted center fell into his hands. 

"A coin what can I use this for"? Ladybug asked himself. Ladybug looked around and saw the rim of the building, Mr. Pigeon, and a vending machine. He ran towards Mr. Pigeon and slid under his attack. Ladybug unleashed his yo-yo, hooking the yo-yo around his foot. He jumped up to the beam and flipped around it, warping the yo-yo string around the beam. He jumped off the beam running towards the vending machine and shoving the coin in. The flap opened up revealing a bag of popcorn and Ladybug garbed it. 

"Chat go long!'' Ladybug yelled, throwing the bag of popcorn in the air. Chat Noir smirked and threw his staff at the bag. The bag broke and popcorn landed on Mr. Pigeon. 

"Snack time pigeons"! Ladybug yelled as the pigeons flew over to Mr. Pigeon pecking him to get the popcorn. In the process the bird call went up into the air and when Chat Noir caught it he sneezed. The bird call flew over to the other side of the center and Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Mr. Pigeon dashed towards it. They all had a hand on it and Ladybug smirked. He lifted his hand and hit Mr. Pigeon's which in the process shattered the bird call. Chat Noir made a noise of discomfort and shook his hand in pain. A purple butterfly flew out of the bird call and Ladybug opened his yo-yo. 

"No more feathering around for you little akuma time to de-evillise"! Ladybug yelled as he threw his yo-yo at the akuma. 

"Bye bye little butterfly". Ladybug said as he opened up the yo-yo releasing the butterfly inside. 

"Miraculous Ladybug"! Ladybug yelled while throwing the coin up in the air. The coin exploded into ladybug's fixing all the damage to Paris. 

"Pond it"! Ladybug and Chat Noir said together as they fist bumped. 

"What happened to me"? Mr. Ramier asked while getting up off the ground. 

"You were akumatizes sir and I'll take you home". Chat Noir replied with a smile. 

"Thanks Chat Noir for saving me and you too Ladybug". Mr. Ramier replied while rubbing the back of his head. 

"Happy to help Mr. Ramier; see you later Kitty". Ladybug said as he ran out of the sports center. Ladybug hooked his yo-yo to a lamppost and swung himself back to Marinette's. Ladybug went into an alleyway and ducked behind a stack of boxes.

"Spots off". Eric said as he Tikki flew out of the dull pink earrings. Eric zipped open a pocket of his ukulele case and brought out a ziplock bag with thin cookies inside. He opened the bag and handed a thin cookie to Tikki. 

"Enjoy it Tikki we worked hard today". Eric said while poking her head lightly.

"You and Chat Noir -saved Paris". Tikki replied while eating her cookie. 

"You give me powers so you do a lot too". Eric said as Tikki hid back into the back ukulele case so Eric could go back inside the bakery. Eric went up to Marinette's apartment and then opened the latch door to the attic. 

"Eric, what took you so long?"Marinette asked. 

"I-got caught up in the akuama attack". Eric replied as he took out the gray feather.

"Alright I'm just glad you're safe". Marinette replied as she took the feather. 

"All I have to do is stitch the feather on and we'll be golden". Marinette said with a smile. Marinette and Eric were running late to the showcase but they made it just in time. Marinette and Eric ran up to the podium and Marinette put the orange box on it.

"Girl where have you been and Eric I thought you said you would keep her on track"? Alya asked while crossing her arms. 

"I needed to grab a feather- and got caught up in -the akuama attack". Eric said, trying to catch his breath. Marinette opened the box to reveal a black feather design derby hat with a gray feather on the side. 

"It looks like Chloe's". Alya said, pointing over to Chloe's hat. 

"Wait what that bart". Marinette replied with venom in her voice. 

"Do you want me to give her a piece of my mind"? Eric asked while putting a hand on Marinette's shoulder. 

"No, I'll handle this". Marinette said with a smirk. Natalie walked over to Marinette's hat with Mr. Agreste on her white tablet. 

"Natalie, can you go back to Miss Bourgeois hat"? Mr. Agreste asked. 

"Is this a joke"? Mr. Agreste asked when he noticed that the hats were the same. 

"Marinette took my design; how could you"! Chloe replied while "crying" dramatically. 

"Um sorry about this Mr. Agreste but I can prove that this is my original design". Marinette said. 

"Go ahead". 

"Um- I made everything up hand up to the stitching to the outlines, and lastly I signed mine". Marinette said while picking up her hat and showing the golden stitched name. Chloe pushed her hand back and her hat fell to the ground showing the stitched name on the hat. 

"Daddy"! Chloe cried as she ran out of the school. 

"Well done miss-". 

"Marinette". Adrien said with a smile. 

"Miss Marinette, you've done a wonderful job with your showcase, you're the winter. I'll have my son model you design in our next advertisement". Mr. Agreste explained. 

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you ". Marinette said with a big smile on her face. Adrien picked up the hat and tried to put it on but when he did he sneezed. 

"Sorry I have a feather allergy". Adrien apologized with a small smile. Adrien flowed Natalie out of the school, but kept sneezing. 

"Oh my god I did it"! Marinette yelled while hugging Alya and Eric. 

"Girl I never doubted you for a second". Alya said with a smile. 

"Hehe I told you could do it Mari". Eric replied with a laugh.
