GEEZ! I normally end my chapters after 1000 words, but this time I made it up to 1500. I had two choices, go to sleep, or finish this. I think you guys can guess which option I chose. I just couldn't help myself. Enjoy!
Mari/Ladybug's POV
After school was over, I chatted with Alya about everything that happened with the last akuma, letting her know every detail I knew of. After we finished talking, I gave her a hug and transformed because I didn't like walking home and dealing with the paparazzi. I grabbed my stuff and zipped on my yo-yo out of the school.
When I landed on my roof, I called my transformation off and got inside. Tikki flew downstairs to get herself some cookies, not caring to hide since everyone already knew my identity. I walked over to my sewing desk and opened my most recent drawings. I grabbed black and green fabric and thread and spread them on the table. 'I should get this done before patrol tonight. Then I could give him the suit in a bag and the card on the side.' I looked at the clock. '3:27. That gives me 7 hours to finish the suit. Plenty of time.'
Adrien/Chat Noir's POV
After I got home, I went straight to my room. Ever since my Father and Natalie left, I have been so alone in my house. I inherited my father's company and the house. There were arrangements made so the cooks, maids, and the body guard 'Gorilla' could all keep their jobs. Someone else was hired as the new accountant who would help schedule and keep the business going. My schedule had freed up, but I was more lonely than ever. I threw a wheel of camembert towards Plagg. He swallowed it whole, then looked at me, obviously happy.
"Adrien! That was so much cheese!"
"Of course it was! Just for you!"
Plagg narrowed his eyes. "Are you trying to bribe me?"
"Of course not! I'm going anyway, so I thought you might want a little something. Plagg, Claws Out!"
I heard Plagg groan as he was sucked into my ring. After I transformed, I started patrol early and jumped out my window. I looked around and decided to go to Marinette's. I got on her roof and entered via trapdoor. When I got inside, she looked over, then freaked out. She stood up quickly and threw a giant blanket on her sewing desk. 'What is she hiding?'
"Chat! Didn't you ever learn to knock?!"
"I didn't think I would scare you...!"
I walk up to her and give her a short, sweet kiss, and she relaxes. I look down at her fingers and see many bandages on her finger tips. I gently grab her hands in mine, look at them for a minute, then look back up at her.
"What happened?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "I can't help it. When sewing anything, your bound to poke you're fingers, I can't cover it up..." Then her face lit up. "I know! Lacing separately! It will totally work!"
She takes her hands out of mine, grabs her pencil and jots down some notes in her sketchbook. I tilt my head in confusion, and lean over to see what she is writing. As soon as I could read it, she closed the book.
"Whatcha hiding from me M'lady? Your secrets are already out of the bag."
She smirked at me and flicked my bell, sending a small shiver of pleasure down my spine. "Wouldn't you like to know..."
"Oh, this Kitten would verrry much a-purrr-eciate it..."
She laughed. "How about this, Go to the Eiffel Tower and take a picture of yourself and send it to me. When you come back, if I am not finished by then, I will show you. Deal?"
I nodded and jumped away at fast as possible, determined to find out what she was hiding from me.
Mari's POV
After Chat Noir left, I sighed in relief. Then I quickly threw the blanket of off the suit I was making. I got straight back to work, knowing I was almost finished anyway. I told Tikki it was going to be a long night, so she went straight to sleep after eating her cookies. I finished the suit, all its accessories, and folded it neatly into a simple, black box. I closed the box, grabbed the letter Chloe gave me, and fit it between the black ribbon I wrapped around the box. I walked over to Tikki and gently nudged her awake.
"Tikki? I'm ready okay?"
She sat up and looked up at me. "Okay! Just give me a moment Marinette!"
While she was waking up, I got a ping on my phone and picked it up. When I opened the message, I saw Chat grinning in the photo, with the Tower in the background. I giggled, knowing he would never make it back to my house on time. I scribbled a note and set it on my sewing desk as Tikki flew up to me.
"I'm ready Mari!"
"Tikki, Spots On!"
Chat Noir's POV
I jumped inside Mari's room, only to find it empty, with a vivid green note on her sewing desk. I pick it up and read it to myself.
Hey Chat!
A bit late huh? It's okay, I'll show you after patrol. Try and find me! ; )
I groan out in frustration, then realize I can track Ladybug's yo-yo. I pull out my baton to see it show me she was hiding at the Eiffel Tower. I leap out of her room and make my way to the Tower again.
When I arrive, I see a small bit of red and black, right behind a pillar. I sneak up, and jump around the corner, only to see another vibrant, green note and a yo-yo. I roll my eyes and pick up both. I read the note.
Do you really think I wouldn't remember the tracker on my yo-yo? To find me, look where you least expect to.
P.S. Bring my yo-yo along would you? Thanks Kitty!
I clip her yo-yo to my belt and think. 'Where could she paw-sibly be? Wait..She would never...Would she?' I look over to the park, where hundreds of people were gathered, many dressed as Ladybug and me for some kind of appreciation meeting. I hold my baton in front of me and vault off to the park.
Ladybug's POV
I mingle in with the crowd, knowing that I just looked like another dedicated fan. I didn't even have a yo-yo on me, so it just looked like I forgot to bring one. For some reason, there were way more Ladybugs than Chat Noirs, and all the Chat Noirs looked nothing like his build. They were similar, but I would be able to tell which one was actually him when he got here. All the Ladybugs though, they looked so similar, at points, I thought I was looking in a mirror.
Suddenly, I saw baton and a black figure jump into the crowd. I giggle at a thought in my head comes. 'I should act like a fan girl when I get to him, he would be so uncomfortable! Revenge for the puns!' I make my way over there, spotting him immediately. He is looking through the crowd without much luck. I manage to reach him and grab his arm. He looks at me and I speak out.
"Oh my gosh! I saw you come in on your baton! Are you actually the real Chat Noir?"
He looked down nervously and answered. "No, I don't have powers, I just am here for the support."
"Oh come on! Like I didn't see you! How about we go have some fun, hm?"
I could see his face heat up very quickly and he responded in a stuttering voice. "W..what do y...you m..mean?"
I couldn't hold the laughter in anymore. I began laughing really hard, but he still didn't get it. I look up at his clueless, blushing face. I roll my eyes at him.
"Do I really have to prove it to you?"
By now his whole face was red. "P..prove what?"
I leaped forward, grabbing my yo-yo off of his belt and zipped off to a rooftop. He eventually reached me, and I tried to talk, but I couldn't because I began to laugh so hard, I was on the floor, dying of laughter.
"C..Chat! I..I c..can't b..breathe!"
I could hear his sarcastic voice as I began to calm myself down. "Yeah, yeah, That was totally unfair!"
"B..but, it w..was so funny!"
"Flirting with me knowing I couldn't flirt back unless I knew it was you?"
I finally managed to stop laughing and stand up. "Of course! Your puns are always so annoying at times, this is good payback!"
"Well, the puns come with the handsome guy you like. You wouldn't be willing to give me up for no more puns."
I look back at him, still trying not to crack up again. "Well, I could paw-sibly reconsider abou-"
"Forget I said anything! Patrol won't patrol itself. We should get moving."
I gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Of course. You take west, I got east, and we'll circle around back to the Tower."
"After you M'lady."
Well, another chapter has been finished. I said earlier that I would try and end it around 25 chapters, but I don't think I can tie up all the loose ends very nicely, so I'm looking at it ending more at 30 chapters. After I can finalize the amount of chapters this book will have, I can start rough drafting the sequel to this story. Don't forget that @OwlWolf22091 is my grammar checker for typos and what-not, and if you don't already follow her, you should go do it!
