Marinette's POV

It was a normal Friday in Paris, when I woke up and I looked at my phone, still half asleep, to see it was . . . 10:00am!!! I scrambled to find an outfit which consisted of the usual pink jeans with white stitching, a white, black and pink floral top, paired with a dark grey jacket and my tan flats. I grab my pink book bag and throw it over my shoulders and run downstairs out the door. I guess my parents were busy with the morning rush from the bakery because they didn't notice me running out the door running across the street to school.
I guess that akuma fight last night was pretty rough. I never sleep in enough, to be late to class.. well this late... I thought as I ran inside to my class.
The door was about to slam shut and almost causing me to get a lecture from Ms. Bustier on why to come on time, after school in detention today, but I caught the door and quietly tiptoed to my seat.
"Girl! You missed over the entire first two classes! Why are you so late?" My best friend Alya whispered as I sat down and got out a pencil and my notebook. Nino looked back at us and said "What's the excuse this time, Marinette?" Causing me to somehow stutter out a reply by saying "I was doing an essay before school and lost track of time?" I told them, as I was hoping they would buy it. They didn't.. "We're not that gullible anymore Marinette." Adrien turned around with a small chuckle. I lifted my backpack in front of my face so he wouldn't see my cheeks blush. Would he notice? Of course he would.. Why do I always screw up my chances with-
My thoughts got interrupted by Chloé.
"ADRIKINS!!" Oh no... Chloé came over with Sabrina close behind her and an invitation in her hand for Adrien for a party that night at Le Grand Paris.

~Time Skip to that night~

Adrien's POV

"I don't get why that spoiled brat didn't invite the love of your life?" Plagg said while implying that the love of his life is Ladybug.
"Well, gee I don't know, Plagg, maybe because she's not a model?" Adrien said with sarcasm. "She sure could be though.. her raven hair. Her soft, delicate lips..." Adrien lovingly sighed as he spun around in his desk chair. I saw Plagg begin to groan and whine as he rolled his green eyes at me, continuing to eat his camembert.  "Well anyways Plagg, which tie looks better?" I said, brushing off my thoughts of Ladybug. I held up a royal blue tie and a gold-ish/yellow one. "The blue one, I like my cheesy yellow color but blue always works better with black." I think this is what he replied with. I couldn't tell with that gross camembert in his mouth. But I think for once, I was gonna take his opinion into consideration and wear the blue tie. I went downstairs to leave the house in my black tuxedo and my blue tie, and got into the limo heading over to Chloé's.
                                        ~~~
I got to the front gates, there were two bodyguards standing beside each other while they looked at me and my father, Gabriel Agreste, one of the famous fashion designers in all of Paris. Nathalie gave the bodyguard our invitation with the fine to park. My father walked towards me moving his hands up to my chest to adjust my tie before walking in. I thought I had done it right for once.. I guess not. The party was so boring. No music, even though She loved Jagged Stone? Wouldn't she want him to play? I guess it's too fancy of an occasion. I mentally shrugged it off and walked over to the punch bowl and started to get myself a drink, a waiter, however came over and finished the simple task. I thanked them and set out a quest to find Chloé in her huge hotel. I heard hundreds of screams from all around me and I saw everyone trying desperately to flee the building. An akuma? I thought. Right now? I ran to the nearest safe spot and shut the door behind me as Plagg came out from my tux. "Come on Plagg, we have an akuma to fight. Claws out!" I waited a minute to check that the coast was clear.

I ran out of the building and used my baton to get up above from the crowds and to get a better view. I saw my bugaboo trapped in her cheetah-like claws and Ladybug didn't look so good- "Chat!!" Ladybug shouted my name with all her might. I could tell she wasn't okay. I jumped on the creatures back and I tried to get Ladybug from her grasp. The monster wouldn't let go. She was doomed... Millions of thoughts were running into my brain. I couldn't stop the akumatized victim, and I can't save Ladybug. What would I do? What would happen? Would she be gone? ... I turned away as tears started to stream downs my mask-covered cheeks.

A/N: I feel sooooooo good about this! I just started watching Miraculous for about 8-9 months now, and I can't wait to see season two in May!!!! I hope at least 10 people read this. More fluffy parts will come soon, and sorry for the cliffhanger. But like I always see happen in books and stories, cliffhangers lead to the best part!!!😄😄😄 By the way, when I use art, all credit to the artist(s) I don't own any of these pieces of art or characters except this villain. (And maybe more to come😏😉)
