Marinette's POV
I snuck out of the ball room after telling mother the plan. She had gushed and began squealing like a fangirl. I was in a closet when I uttered.
"Crown off." Tikki was dropped into my hands again. "Sorry Tikki I just..."
"Its okay Marinette I understand." She gave me a reasuring smile. "Go get him!"
"Tikki Spots on!" I transformed but instead of my suit I was in a knee length ladybug print dress. I crept round to the doors and asked Aren to anounce me. He seemed to have been told by mother of my arival because he wasn't fased by my sudden appearance.
"The saviour of Paris Ladybug!" Everyone whipped around awestruck. I desended the steps carefully. I quickly ran over to Alya. And whispered.
"I'm sorry but no one knows of you and we should keep it that way please don't come as Reina." She nodded sadly. I ran over to Nino and Chloé giving them the same message, though Chloé was less understanding.
"The saviour of Paris Chat Noir!" A smile touched my lips. I walked up to greet him with a hug as we were surrounded by the class.
"Ladybug." He said. My smile faulted, no m'lady or bugaboo?
"Would you like to dance Chaton?" I offered holding out my arm. He nodded and we went out to the dance floor. We danced to Rise by Katy Perry. (Play vidio now ^^^)
It was passionite and in perfect sync but it felt more like a goodbye on Chat's half. I pulled him over to a corner.
"Are you alright?" He gave me an odd look. "You just called me ladybug, no nicknames or puns what so ever." He smiled.
"Yeah... I found another girl." I felt like crying but didn't. I was a superheroine after all.
"I'll... I'll help you however I can." I managed to choke out. He nodded his thanks. I grabbed my yoyo from the purse I had. I flipped it up. The time was seven forty as they had, had a quiet early supper.
"What is it?" He asked looking over at me.
"I gotta go." I tryed to escape.
"O-okay." I ran out on the verge of crying. I ran to that closet and slid down inside it.
"Tikki spots off..." I whispered.
"Oh Marinette. It'll all be okay." She smiled and hugged my cheek.
"Maybe..." I sighed.
"But for now you have to go back." I nodded.
"Tikki crown on..." I said sadly. She gave a determined face then flew into my earings. I looked down. I wore a glimmering red dress. In small writing over all the stitching was the words 'Chat's a sidekick'. I caressed my earings.
"Tikki your the best." I giggled whipping my face to find it dry. Giggling again I reterned the party. This time I wasn't anounced. I just slipped in like I belonged.
"Why are you wearing a new dress?" Adrien asked as he came up to me.
"To make me feel better. A... friend saw I wasn't feeling very bubbly, so she gave me it." I giggled. I pulled my phone from the glittery purse I clutched. Pulling up the camra I inspected my face. I once more had no make up, my hair was down with a headband and a black mask with tiny white letters saying the same message. I suddenly started laughing confusing Adrien.
"Whats so funny?" He chuckled at my redening face.
"My friend that gave me this knew exactly what to do to cheer me up!" I traced my mask. Adrien followed my hand. He read it scilently then growled.
"Thats not true!" He shouted. I placed my hands on my hips.
"Does it have to be if stops me from getting akumatized?" I snarled.
"We-well it doesn't have to hurt someone who has nothing to do with your problem!" He bit back. I recoiled.
"What would you know? Chat Noir is the problem." He gave me a rude look.
"I happen to be good friends with Chat Noir and he hasn't done anything to you!" I laughed.
"Wanna bet?" I growled. "If I take this dress off Agreste, I'll get akumatized... and trust me if that happens you don't wanna be near me." I chuckled.
"Chat and Ladybug will just purify it!" He shot back. By now a huge crowd was around us.
"Chat can't do squat without ladybug." I laughed evily.
"Guys stand back shes already been taken!" He yelled with fear. "Where is it though?" He muttered.
"No shes not!" Alya yelled.
"How do you know?" Kim asked midstep.
"I lead the ladyblog. I know an akuma. Shes just really freaken mad. Though one wrong move she'll will be." She warned. Adrien looked sceptical. He stepped towards me. He reached out to take my earings. I grabbed his wrist and locked it behind his back.
"Family heirloom. Touch it you will regret it." I hissed into his ear before pushing him forward. "I think you Parisians should go back to your hotel!" I announced trying to cool off. Ms B came behind me and agreed. Everyone left the room.
"Crown off." I said still trying to calm myself.
"That escalated quickly." The tiny kwamii said alkwardly.
"I need to control myself. I don't know how to use so much confordance." I admitted.
"Its not your fault," Tikki pet my leg. "Two suns explode. When transformed either way your a sun child, as Marinette you're a moon child. Mari and Adrien can be together."
"What? I like Chat." I groaned as so many emotions corsed through me.
"You still like Adrien to you know. Don't repeat your mistake. Its not that easy." She smiled. I layed on the floor.
"I feel guilty though! I can't like two people!" Tikki giggled.
"Play it out for now." I nodded and stood up. First things first. I needed to talk to Adrien. I needed to apologize. I told Aren to alert my parents then jumped into a limo dressed in my Chat Noir outfit.
