Today is Parent's Career Day. I told my parents about it almost every day, and did they show up? Absolutely not. Marinette's father, Tom, is talking about what he goes through every day. It doesn't really interest me because I don't care much for baking. I decide to go out into the hallway to see if I can contact one of my parents. I sigh when I get both of their voicemails. The beep goes off.

"Hey mother, it's me. Like I said, today is Parent's Career Day at school. I thought you were coming, but once again I'm disappointed as always. Bye," I say. I relay the same message to father before tucking my phone in my purse with a sigh. Beside me, I hear a familiar sounding phrase.

"Hi father, it's me. It's Parent's Career Day at school, remember? I was hoping that you were gonna show up. Call me back," Adrien says.

I walk over to him and leap on him to scare him.

"Aah! Mirabelle!?" he shouts. "You scared me."

"That was the point," I say and smile. "You okay?"

"Yeah, whatever. Nothing new," he sighs and turns away. "What about you?"

"Same old same old."

We hear clapping coming from behind us in the classroom, and we turn to look. We quickly walk in, trying not to be noticed. I sit in my seat, and Nathan looks at me with sadness as if saying he's sorry that my parents can't come. I see Nino cheering up Adrien as well.

"Marinette will come around and pass out some croissants baked fresh this morning," her father says.

"Thank you, Monsieur Dupain. Now, let's meet Alya's mom, who is head chef at the Grand Paris hotel, owned by our mayor, Monsieur Bourgeois," Bustier says.

Alya and her mother make their way up to the front, and I ignore the little commotion that Chloe caused. That's when I see a streak of black rush from Adrien's bag to Chloe's.

Oh no! His Kwami is going to cause trouble!

"Unfortunately, I have no dishes to share. But maybe Monsieur Bourgeois will invite you all to the hotel and treat you to lunch!" Alya's mother says.

We all begin to clap, and the mayor looks around with a scared chuckle. Then I catch a shiny bracelet make its way up out of Chloe's bag and back down. Uh oh... The bracelet once again goes flying up and when it comes back down it causes the bag to fall over, and the cat Kwami goes rolling across the floor underneath Adrien's seat. Marinette ends up slipping and all the croissants go flying into the air. She squeals in the process.

"Geez, is there a day when you're not tripping over something?" Chloe scolds.

Bustier pays no attention to what's happening as she calls out the next parent. "Next on the list is Sabrina's father, a policeman. Officer Roger!"

He walks up and begins his obviously rehearsed speech. "I've been a police officer for 15 years, and I firmly believe that every citizen is innocent until proven guilty," Roger says.

Suddenly Chloe gasps loudly, drawing everyone's attention toward her. "My bracelet! It's gone! I had it a second ago." She looks at Marinette. "You! You stole it!"

"What? What are you talking about?!" Marinette fusses.

Chloe gets in Marinette's face. "You unpurposedly tripped on my bag so you could steal my bracelet!" She looks at Roger. "You're a policeman! Arrest her!"

"My daughter is not a thief!" Tom claims.

Roger blows his whistle to calm everyone down. "Hold on a minute, Mademoiselle Bourgeois, we don't accuse without proof! Now, everyone, calm down, please. Maybe you simply misplaced your bracelet."

Chloe gasps. "You're calling me a liar?! Daddy!"

The mayor immediately accuses Roger. "Roger, I demand you surge this girl!"

Chloe laughs. "Ha!"

"Please, everybody!" Bustier exclaims.

The mayor walks up to Roger. "Need I remind you that as mayor of this city, I am your superior!"

"But sir, it's against the law! I can't just go–" Roger starts but is cut off.

"All right. Then you're no longer a police officer!" the mayor says.

"Mayor, you can't be serious! Over a missing bracelet?" Roger pleads.

"This is my daughter's bracelet we're talking about! You're incompetent, and you're fired! Get out!"

"Aww..." Roger whines.

Chloe scoffs. "Good! Let's call Ladybug! I hear she'll actually do something!"

"Give me your bag, thief," the mayor demands.

"Don't even think of getting near my daughter or her bag!" Marinette's father yells, pointing an accusing finger at the mayor.

"Do you know who I am?" the mayor says.

"Please, gentlemen! This is a school here! Think of the children! Surely the bracelet is around here someplace," Bustier says.

"It probably just rolled out of her bag or something!" Marinette claims.

"If I were her bracelet, I'd try and get as far away as possible from that crazy brat too," Alya says. Marinette and I laugh.

"Hey! Nino's been filming everything this whole time! We can see what really happened!" Marinette says. The video is rewinded and it gets paused on when Sabrina was holding it. "Well, there you have it! Sabrina was holding Chloe's bracelet!" Marinette claims.

"Yes! But I gave it back straight after!" Sabrina exclaims.

"Chloe, why don't you take a look in your BFF's bag?" Marinette says.

"Are you saying I'm a thief?!" Sabrina fusses.

"Nope! Chloe's the one calling people thieves without any proof. I'm simply going from what's on the video."

Sabrina growls and ends up knocking Nathan's sketchbook from his arms. He bends down to pick it up and reveals a drawing of the bracelet. Chloe and Sabrina gasp.

Nathan looks up hurriedly and quickly replies. "Yes, I did sketch the bracelet, but I didn't do anything else!"

"Give me the tape! I'll have it analyzed by professionals!" the mayor says, holding his hand out for Nino to put his phone in.

"No way! It's my camera!" Nino fusses, pulling the phone closer to him out of the mayor's reach.

"Who do you think you're dealing with? I am the mayor of this city! Where's the school principal? I want to see the principal!"

Adrien finally notices his Kwami, scoops him up, and rushes out the room. I chuckle as I kick my legs up on the table and lean back in my seat, enjoying the little show.

"See, Chloe? I tripped on the bag, but Sabrina held the bracelet, Nathanael sketched it, we are all suspects!" Marinette says.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean? I didn't swipe her bracelet!" Nathan fusses.

"And neither did I! But when it comes down to it, Chloe can accuse anyone and everyone!" Marinette says.

"Fine! Since you're a suspect, you'll have no problem letting me search your bag!" Chloe shouts.

"Okay! As long as you also search everyone else's too!" Marinette shouts back.

"No one's searching my bag!" Nathan fusses.

"Marinette, let the adults handle this," her father says.

"Papa, she called me a thief! I'm just defending myself."

"You're also accusing all of your friends like Chloe's doing to you!"

"I'm Chloe's BFF! I wouldn't steal from her!" Sabrina says.

"What about Mirabelle? She's been watching all of us in amusement this whole time from her seat!" Kim fusses.

They all turn to look at me. "Ha!" I laugh. "There's so many things wrong with your accusation. One, I've been sitting here the whole time, so how could I have grabbed it? Two, if I really wanted it I would buy it myself. Three, it's hideously ugly. Four, I don't like bracelets. Five, I don't wear bracelets. Six, I don't need the money that the bracelet could be sold for since I have just as much money as Chloe and Adrien."

"Oh, yeah. What about Adrien? He was in at least 4 and a half seconds of that video!" Max says.

"Then we haven't seen him since!" Kim says.

"Oh, not Adrien! I mean, why would he need to steal a bracelet? If anyone's guilty, it's gotta be one of us," Marinette says.

"What? Are you accusing us?" Nathan asks.

"I want an attorney!" Kim fusses.

"Marinette, stop already!" Tom shouts at his daughter.

Suddenly the classroom door opens and Roger walks in in a giant blue robot suit. "Where is the mayor?" his robotic voice asks.

"Dad?!" Sabrina shouts.

"That's her dad?!" Marinette exclaims shocked.

Bustier walks up to him. "Hello, may I help you?" she asks.

"Where is the mayor?" he demands.

I see Marinette sneak out of the classroom.

"I think he already left, sir!" Bustier says.

"Are you lying?" Roger says.

"Yes. I mean, no!" Bustier says.

"If no one speaks up, I'll put you all under arrest! Where is your father?"

"I don't know!" Chloe shouts.

Then you can hear Bourgeois' loud yelling and Roger turns to leave.

"Mr. Principal, I demand that you find who stole my daughter's bracelet ASAP! Or your job is on the line, sir!..."

The rest becomes a murmur as I quickly rush away to find a place to transform. I end up in the girl's bathroom.

"Time to transform?" Flamme asks me.

"Time to transform. Flamme, tricks out!" I transform and climb up the side of the school through the window. I make my way toward the front of the school, waiting for them to come out the front.

Ladybug sees Rogercop leaving, and catches him with her yo-yo, but he escapes. Rogercop sees Monsieur Bourgeois, but Chat Noir stops Rogercop from shooting him and it ends up shooting the car. I mentally sing. I see a little silhouette of a... tracking device! The car hurriedly drives away.

"You are disturbing justice, Chat Noir. You are going to pay for this."

"You can add partly harm to the charges!" Chat adds.

Chat Noir dodges his oncoming lasers and tries to attack Rogercop by climbing up his back and leaping up to smack him with his staff, but Rogercop grabs the staff and knocks Chat Noir to the trashcan that Mendeleiev is throwing trash into.

"Listen! You're Sabrina's dad, and a good cop! Don't let the evil person who gave you these powers make an evil cop out of you!" Ladybug tries to reason with him.

"Justice must prevail in the streets of Paris!" Rogercop shouts and shoots at Ladybug, who leaps away in time. She tries to reach Rogercop, but he swings her into the school's court. "The Mayor must pay for getting rid of his best police officer!" A decked out police car pulls up behind him.

"Monsieur Rogercop! I've got a serious problem! Twas been a bad hair day!" Chloe says, rushing up to him.

"Come with me, and we'll talk about it."

"Okay!" she agrees and hops in the car with him.

"Chloe, no!" Chat yells.

I quickly leap on the car before he takes off. Chat soon follows after me.

"Fancy meeting you here," I say.

"Isn't it? I never would've thought– W-whoa!" Rogercop sets his car to aerial mode.

Ladybug soon hooks on beside me. "I bet you missed me."

The car starts spinning, and Chat and Ladybug gasp. I, of course, use my claws to stick into the car. No matter what it tries to do to get me off, I won't be going anywhere.

"Oh, so I know that that Marinette girl is the one who stole my bracelet. She must be arrested!" I hear Chloe's voice muffled from the inside of the car.

Rogercop hits the brakes, causing Chat to swing forward off the car but Ladybug catches him with her yo-yo. Rogercop activates the Auto Pilot as he exits the car and onto the roof.

"Thanks for the lasso, lassie," Chat says. Rogercop walks and stands over us menacingly. "Did I ever thank you for the lift?" He leaps up and goes to attack with his staff again but is pushed back.

Then we begin attacking him from all sides, but he dodges all of them. Rogercop leaps up and causes the car to twirl around, causing us to run along the car as it spins. Except I, of course, stick my claws in again and just twirl around, passing Ladybug and Chat every so often.

"Where'd you get those shoes? I could use a pair like that!" Chat says. "Or I need some claws like yours, Kitsune."

Rogercop clothes lines Ladybug, and she falls.

"Grab on to me!" she shouts and swings her yo-yo to Chat so he'll catch it, but it goes right past him.

"No! Ladybug! ...What have you done?!" Chat yells, turning to Rogercop clearly upset.

Rogercop tries to take off Chat Noir's ring, but I scald him with my fire. This causes an explosion from the exhaust in the air the car is giving off up here and makes Rogercop lose his grip on Chat Noir, who then falls. I look to make sure he's okay to see Ladybug catch him in the nick of time. I remain on the car moving from the top to underneath to stay hidden from Rogercop as he gets back in the car. He drives all the way to the town hall, and I hop onto the trunk once I realize he's cutting through the door with a laser beam in the shape of the car.

"Bourgeois, I'm taking over. Relinquish your powers," Rogercop says.

"Never!" the mayor cries out. Rogercop shoots and puts handcuffs on him. "These handcuffs won't change my mind!"

"Then maybe this will." He blows his whistle, and Chloe is pulled from the car by the red and blue glowing handcuffs.

"Hey!" Chloe complains.

"Don't you dare put a finger on my little girl!"

"So much for your powers! Haha! Ha ha ha ha!"

He takes the mayor to go record live to all of Paris. I remain on the car for Ladybug and Chat, figuring that they have a plan. I would act, but if I did the butterfly would be released, and I can't do anything about purifying it.

"Paris has a new superpower. His name is Rogercop. I hereby relinquish all authority to Rogercop. All citizens are ordered to answer at him," the mayor says.

"Ladybug and Chat Noir are now outlaws. They must be hunted out and taken into custody immediately," Rogercop says.

He didn't say anything about me! Hmm. I could use this to my advantage... Maybe I can gain Rogercop's trust, and I can rescue us all!

I waltz right into the mayor's office, and they all immediately tense. Roger cop aims his shooters at me. I throw my hands into the air. "Wait! Wait! I'm not here to fight you. I'm here to help you. I want to join you."

"You lie," Roger says.

"No, I can help watch over the police squad. I have an idea for what you can make the prisoners do. You wanna hear it?"

"Proceed."

"Make them clean up all the trash in the building," I say.

He looks as if he ponders it before answering. "I like that idea." He blows his whistle. "Clean up trash."

"Whaa! Hey!" Chloe complains. "I thought you were supposed to be a hero!"

"Well, you thought wrong. I'm a fox. I love to be mischievous!" I grin.

The mayor and Chloe begin digging out every trashcan in the town hall and empty them until it gets dark. I eventually leave to guard the front of the building, commanding the officers on what to do.

Soon Chat appears, and the officers see him. He does a little dance before speaking. "Something about Paris just makes you wanna dance."

"You won't be dancing after I'm through with you. Arrest him!" Roger says.

"Actually, let me handle him, boys," I say, stopping all the officers from attacking.

"Kitsune? What? Are you on their side?! How could you?!" Chat shouts angrily.

"Hey, I'm a fox. I like to be sneaky," I comment and attack him with flames. I eventually get close enough to him to whisper. "Play along. Trust me. Surrender."

"What?" he asks confused before I wink at him and fake a blow to his head. He fakingly falls down and groans.

"I'll take him to Rogercop. I can handle this little kitten," I say, throwing Chat over my shoulder.

Once we get inside, I set him down. He straightens himself up then pulls me close to him. "I didn't know you could be so rough."

I smirk, putting a finger on his lips. "Just wait and see."

His face turns pink and he lets me go, backing away quickly. "I-I didn't really mean i-it! I w-was just m-messing around!"

I begin laughing. "Of course you were. I'm not stupid."

He steadies his breathing. "Jeez. I wasn't ready for that reply. Ladybug never does that."

"Well, I'm not Ladybug. Now, let's go save the day," I say, leading him to where Chloe, Rogercop, and the mayor are located.

We rush in to find Ladybug cornered behind a flipped up table. She notices us at the same time Rogercop does, so she takes the chance to backflip over next to us.

"Kitsune, you betrayed me," Rogercop says.

"Of course I did. I'm not a supervillain even if I'm sneaky," I retort.

He blows his whistle and calls for the mayor and Chloe to attack us, but we quickly flip them out into the hallway, closing the doors behind us. We hide behind the table on the other side of the room.

"The akuma must be in his whistle. We've gotta get to it!" Ladybug says.

"How?" Chat asks.

Rogercop hops up onto the table above us, and we all leap out from underneath the table. We quickly hide behind another piece of furniture.

"So, why do you have an oven mitt?" I ask, pointing to the mitten.

"Hold on," she says and peeks out from behind the furniture. "Okay, I have an idea but I still need something like...a ring." Rogercop makes a hole in the wall by punching it, and we all escape. Ladybug grabs another oven mitt off a cart and hides. "Where am I gonna get a ring from?"

I watch as Chat digs around in his back pocket and pulls out Chloe's bracelet.

"So you were the one who took it," I say and immediately cover my mouth.

Chat looks at me shocked as the bracelet rolls off. "How did you... " A blast interrupts him. "Ladybug, over there!" He points to the bracelet.

"That's Chloe's bracelet! Exactly what I need." Ladybug grabs the bracelet with her yo-yo. "Hold off Rogercop as long as you can."

"Whenever you're ready. Cataclysm!" Chat shouts. He uses his Cataclysm to make the floor rusty, and Rogercop falls into the floor. Rogercop shoots at Chat Noir and he gets held to the wall by a cuff. I melt the floor around Rogercop to make him try to get out harder. Meanwhile, Ladybug uses the two mitts, attached to the belt to cover Rogercop's hands. She uses the belt to tie the hands, and then takes Rogercop's whistle and breaks it. She purifies it. She throws her mitt in the air, and it fixes everything back to what it originally was.

"Uhh... What am I doing up here?" Roger says.

"Pound it!" the three of us say and fist bump.

"As Rogercop would say, 'Justice has prevailed in the streets of Paris!'" Chat's Miraculous beeps. "I'd stick around, but then you'd see me without my mask and...you wouldn't be able to resist me."

"I already resist you..." I grumble.

Ladybug giggles. "I doubt that, but I'll have to take your word for it." Chat runs off, giving me a second glance before he does. Ladybug puts Chloe's bracelet back in her bag.

I stick around with Ladybug as we finish up.

"I think this belongs to you, mademoiselle," Roger says, handing Chloe her bag.

"My bag! My bracelet! But... how?" Chloe exclaims.

"Roger! You found the bracelet?" the mayor asks.

"Actually, it turns out it was in Chloe's bag all along! Must've fallen into a side pocket when that girl tripped over it."

"Well, Roger, I do apologize for being so accusatory, and firing you for no good reason."

"I think Officer Roger has proven his excellence to you, Monsieur Mayor. You'd be wrong not to keep him on," Ladybug says.

"Of course, Ladybug! You're absolutely right. And actually, it's Lieutenant Roger now," the mayor says.

"Thank you, Monsieur Mayor. I'm proud to be on the force, and I vow to uphold my firm belief that every citizen is innocent until proven guilty."

Ladybug's Miraculous beeps, and she exits the City Hall. I follow behind her into the silent night.

"Hey, Kitsune, I've been wanting to ask, but..." Ladybug begins but doesn't know how to word it. "You said you know who I was, right?"

"Who you are under that mask?" I ask.

"U-uh, y-yeah..."

"Well, it's blatantly obvious. Your hair is a dead give away and your eyes. If Chat really was interested in finding out who you are he would've been able to figure out by now, that you're really, Marinette."

She gasps. "You really do know who I am!"

"I've been watching you and Chat Noir for 2 months from afar. I know who you both are, but I won't say anything. A fox always keeps her secrets!" I say and jump out into the night.

...

Next chapter won't be from the show. Hope you all have enjoyed reading this so far. We're having lots of fun writing it!
