Why do my media photos turn out blurred?! 😾
Chat Noir's POV
I feel the familiar energy surge as I feel the power in my hand. I can destroy anything! I reach forward, hoping to touch the chain in the necklace. Why did Ladybug say not to use this? But as I reach out, I soon realise why. The grinch was expecting this move. It grabs my outstretched wrist, careful not to touch my hand, and I see it reach for my ring. Ladybug this cat hasn't got nine lives!
Ladybug's POV
I'm still confused over my lucky charm. What am I supposed to do with a sweater?! I'm still staring down on it when I hear Chat cry out " It's about to get my ring!" Instinctively I react straight away. I throw my yoyo to the monster, wrapping it around its arm. Thos stops it reaching for the ring but this monster seems to have intelligence. It's wrist twists to grab my wire, yanking me towards it. Then, it all happens in a blur before my eyes.
As I rush forward I see Chat's eyes on me. I'm about to reach the monster, when suddenly I am pushed back by something. I land on the floor, my yoyo in front of me. I feel as if I can't move from the pain in my stomach from whatever pushed me here. I feel as if I can't breath and it's a struggle to try and get up. I look up at the monster, wondering why it hasn't taken advantage of me. It looks annoyed as I see it reach out to Chat. Its going for his ring again! Suddenly I realise what the sweater is for. I leap up, despite the agony, and pull the sweater over the grinch's head. It gets distracted and Chat pulls himself out of its grasp. The grinch stops struggling and I see some green wisps of air float from around the sweater and travel around its head. What is it doing? I think back to the news report. 'It gets it's strength from Christmas things!' The sweater wasn't just to let him escape, it's a distraction for us to get the akuma!
"Chat use your cataclysm to break the sweater so I can reach the necklace!" I exclaim.
"On it m'lady!" The material turns a blacky green as it crumbles to show the grinch's shocked face.
"Try and get stronger now!" I yell as I grab hold of the necklace. I feel it's cold hands try and prize mine away but it's too late. I feel the delicate candy cane pendant break in my hand and I let go. The grinch reels back in shock as the akuma flies out and falls to its knees. I trace a line across my yoyo and it opens just like a ladybug's wings as I fling to the evil akuma.
"I'm freeing you from evil!" I exclaim as it gets captured. Pink light engulfs me and I feel a surge of happiness as yet ago the akuma flies away, cleansed. The grinch changes into an exhausted looking woman in a Santa suit.
"Bye bye little butterfly!" Hang on! What about the sweater? How can I make things go back to normal?!
"What happened when you touched the sweater?" I ask Chat.
"It crumbles as always," he looks a little confused but then realisation hits him, " You can't make things go back to how they were can you?"
"No. What a stupid plan that was! What a stupid heroine I am!"
"Hey! You just made a mistake that's all!" Chat bursts out, " You are a fantastic heroine! And Paris wouldn't be safe without you!"
"But how..." How can I repair all the damage?! I look down at my yoyo. I hear a beep, my first one. 4 more minutes before I switch back. Oh wait! If the yoyo made the lucky charm appear... I decide to test out my theory. I throw my yoyo into the air and yell my well known phrase "Miraculous Ladybug!". Cluster after cluster after cluster of ladybugs fly out in all directions. But I still feel the pain from just before. I call into a coughing for and clutch my stomach. I wish the ladybugs could heal wounds, but I guess I didn't actually get a wound, just the breath knocked out of me.
"Are you ok? I thought you would get healed." I hear Chat say as he comes up to me.
"Not...this. It will...pass soon." I manage to choke out.
"I'm really sorry! I used my staff to stop the grinch reaching your earrings!" I stop coughing and I manage to stand upright.
"It's ok. Really, I'm fine!" I reply, hoping to convince him, " We need to split before we detransform!" I panic, completely forget about my present for him. I begin to walk away when he comes after me.
"Wait! I have something to give to you!" He calls. I stop in my tracks as I remember.
"Me too! But I don't have it on me at the moment. I'll go and get it!"
"How about I come with? It saves you coming and going." He does have a fair point. It would save time, I'll just make up some excuse for having it on my balcony.
Chat Noir's POV
She has a gift for me too?! Maybe this is my chance for a special moment with her. Where we can just talk and not worry about the Akuma or anything else. Maybe I could finally tell her how I feel. But I'm so afraid of what could happen, what if she likes someone else? What if I screw up something in her normal life? What if's full my head up but one thought remains clear. I just tell her. I just say that I think she is one of the most amazingly brilliant people I have ever met. I just have to...

Somewhere else...
"Drat! Damn you Ladybug and Chat Noir! Damn you Christmas!"
