Marinette's POV
"Hay Mari you seem off." Alya obsurved. I gulped.
"What are you talking about girl? Lets go inside." I protested.
Adrien and I walked in and suddenly all eyes were on us.
"Hey." I said feverishly. Thats when it happened a mountain of questions cascaded towards us.
"Why are you handcuffed?" Asked one of the Chinese students confused.
"Who did that?" Asked Luna with a murderous look in her eyes.
"Why are you taller?" Alix demanded.
"Where'd you go?" Nathaniel whimpered.
I groaned and clutched my head. It seemed to be spinning.
"Shut it!" Adrien growled hovering over me.
"I'm okay." I tryed to stand up straight but a flash of pain shot down from my earings. It immediately stopped when it reached my finger. Hm... odd? I'll ask Tikki later... but I'm stuck to Adrien. And I have patrol tonight with Chat Noir! I thought rapidly of a way to fix it. I'll just ask Reina Rouge to take my place. But how? I'm stuck with Adrien! UGH! I decided to write a letter for her when we get back.
Time quickly slipped away chatting with Luna and Tia while Adrien stood behind me chatting with Nino. Soon it was time to leave so I gave them my phone number and promised to hang out soon. We hopped on the bus and sat chained together side by side. After that we hurried back to our room to avoid Alya and Nino's wrath. I exhaled slowly.
"Finnaly. Hey, Adrien?" I asked as we entered the living room.
"Yeah Marinette?" He inquired.
"I've got to write something personal would you not look." I asked hopeful.
"Of course, I promise." He said in his slightly off voice. We entered the room and I knelt by the bedside table.
Dear Reina Rouge,
I'm in a bit of a situation so could you please take mg patrol for tonight.
Much appreciated,
                                 Ladybug
I searched through my draw for an envolope.
Adrien's POV
I didn't mean to. I just wondered. I looked at the note Mari was scribbling and my jaw dropped. What the hell is wrong with her? First she stole the miraculous box and now she's signing a letter with Ladybug's name!
"Marinette," I said firmly. "Why are you signing something by ladybug?" She whipped her head around a million wild fires burning in her gaze.
"That need not concern you." She said in a demon like voice.
"It does now." I glared back. "Why are you doing this?"
"I'm not supposed to tell anyone except a weilder." She huffed. I seriously contemplated revealing myself but thought better of it and lied instead.
"I'm Carapace." I pretended to be bold.
"Quit lying!" She shouted. "If you were Carapace I'd tear you limb from limb for that, but I know without a shred of doubt you aren't."
"How'd you know?" I growled.
"I talked to Carapace yesterday." She huffed smirking.
"I know and that was a lovely chat really." I grinned.
"With his civilian self." She looked smug as she crossed her arms tugging me down.
"He lied." I said plainly.
"Hm? And ladybug did too I suppose. Your probably gonna tell me she doesn't know who they are and I'm making this all up right?" She sniffed.
"What? Ladybug told you who he is?" I growled angrily. She won't tell me but she'll tell a non holder?!
"Yes she did when she apointed me her messenger." She growled then gasped covering her mouth.
"Your Ladybug's messenger?" I was totally confused.
"Yes so leave me alone. It need not concern you." She repeated making me go quiet. "You have to be blind folded now so you can't see who I give it to." She growled angrily. She grabbed a scarf from her closet and wrapped it around my head. Then dragged me off to deliver the letter.
Marinette's POV
Ugh! He's worse then that mangey ally cat! I can't believe him! I dragged him down the hall to Alya's room.
"Take this." I shoved it to her. "Don't let anyone see. Destroy it once you've read it, okay?"
"Got it." Then she walked off. I hoped and prayed Adrien didn't recognise her voice.

A/N: Another fight but in a good way? I don't know! Its going somewhere though. 🐞🐱
