*Marinette was having trouble playing the piano and reading the music notes. But at the same time, she felt some reflexes in her hands that the memory muscles in Adrien's hands are still there. Like the hands remember but she doesn't know how to play the piano.

"You'll get to it. Adrien made some good music he made for you as Ladybug." Plagg said.

"Really? I'd love to hear them once we're back." *Marinette said.

"You two are so oblivious, you know" Plagg rolled his eyes.

"I know." *Marinette smiled nervously.

"I wait so long for Adrien to figure it out but he's so clueless," Plagg said, munching on his cheese which made *Marinette cringe at the smell.

"Plagg, do you really have to carry cheese up close to me?" She stood up from the piano seat.

"Sorry." He moved away.

"Seriously. How does Adrien get used to you eating smelly cheese?" She asked while sitting on the couch.

"No idea, Tikki loves sweets," Plagg said.

"Mostly cookies." *Marinette said.

She then sees *Cat Noir coming this way as he goes through the open window but stumbles from the clumsy landing, "Ow!" He grunts in pain.

"Oh hey, Kittybug." *Marinette said.

"Ugh....that hurt" He straightens himself up and unwrapped the yo-yo string off himself, "Hey Milady. Still not used to being in my body?"

"No. You sure got one heck of a lifestyle." *Marinette said.

"Well, I liked the food your parents make because I never eat what I want to eat. My father always forces me to be on a strict diet. I'm sure he did that to you in my place this morning" He guessed and said the de-transformation words so he can let Tikki rest.

"No wonder you're in good shape." *Marinette said.

"Jeez, thanks. But sometimes I sneak in as a kitty to have sweets with you" *Adrien sat down with him.

"Yeah, I remember. And yet you still flirt with any girl but not in a romantic like" *Marinette said, though a little jealous if Adrien did flirt for real.

"I do but mostly with Ladybug, well before we knew our identities." *Adrien said.

"Oh really? Being prince char-meow-ing made you like that when Master Fu gave you the cat miraculous?" *Marinette teased him.

"Maybe. Being homeschooled made me feel isolated for a long time but when I became Cat Noir, it changed my life. I was free, milady. Free from being in this prison mansion and it gave me the freedom to do things I wanted. You in my place right now is not as easy, I can tell. But being in your place is a lot to process because you're the guardian" *Adrien said, playing with his hair that he never had.

"Oh yeah." *Marinette nodded.

A while later around noon, they did patrolling together to see if there are akumatized victims or a sentimonster. They found one, the same boy who was Sandboy, only this time his version is reversed with a daylight theme instead of a night theme. He calls himself Daymare, the opposite of nightmare where people's nightmares come to life in the daytime.

"Face your fears!" Daymare cackled while letting the sparkling sand pour around from his floating pillow.

"Brace yourself!" *Ladybug ran away from the dust.

"Face your fears Ladybug and Cat Noir! Your worst nightmares or daymares will feel real to you!" Daymare still keeps firing until one hit *Ladybug.

"No!" She gasps realizing what it's gonna unleash when she heard his twisted and sinister voice out of nowhere but spotted something emerging from the dark alley, a white-clawed hand gripping the edge and he revealed himself fully in appearance while glancing at *Cat Noir instead.

"Nice to you again, milady" It was Cat Blanc and he sent out a white cataclysm at *Cat Noir but he dodged it as the white sphere turned the car into ashes.

"Whoa! God almighty!" *Cat Noir was beyond scared by his evil version.

"Let's go!" *Ladybug grabbed him in her arms to get away from the incoming white spheres.

"I have never seen myself so powerful" *Cat Noir stammered.

"And so insane!" *Ladybug gasped.

"It's time for you two to die!" He gave them a cruel grin.

*Ladybug was trembling with fear but what she doesn't know is that Cat Blanc is only after *Cat Noir since he's in her body.

"Hahahaha!!!! What a powerful daymare, kitty cat! You fear of your evil version destroying your love bug?" Daymare just simply stood there and watched.

The butterfly mask appeared on his face, "Don't do anything. Let this white cat take care of this" Shadow Moth said through him.

"So be it." Daymare grinned.

"Come here milady! I won't hurt you. After all, white cats and ladybugs have something in common! Good luck!" Cat Blanc cackled evilly and tries to find them in the city while the heroes hid behind the chimney on the roof.

"Okay, now I understand why you didn't wanna tell me but he's not real." *Cat Noir said, trying to calm *Ladybug from hyperventilating.

"But he still reminds me of that alternative you." *Ladybug gasps for breath.

"So you wanna play cat and mouse, bugaboo?! The cat hunts for his prey! I'll find you soon enough! And when I do, you'll give your miraculous!" Cat Blanc jumping from one roof to another.

"We need a plan." *Cat Noir said.

"We can't face Cat Blanc and Daymare at the same time." *Ladybug said, feeling too scared.

"Lucky charm" *Cat Noir whispered and caught a sharp blade, "Seriously? I'm no psycho murderer. But I know what to do." He gave the blade to her, "You stop Daymare, I'll handle evil me. He thinks I'm you"

"Okay, But I'm so gonna regret this." *Ladybug sighs and goes for Daymare.

*Cat Noir came out of his hiding to face *Ladybug's worst nightmare, "You don't scare me, nightmare. Aren't white cats supposed to be good luck? I prefer my real black kitty than you" He acted as Ladybug.

"Well, this time I'll show you who really brings bad luck to the heroes!" Cat Blanc charged another cataclysm.

"Come get me!" *Cat Noir taunted Cat Blanc and dodges.

"You can't escape me, Marinette. I know you too well!" Cat Blanc said.

"What?" *Cat Noir was shocked to hear him say *Ladybug's real name.

Cat Blanc tackled him down and grinned like a Cheshire cat, "Got ya now, my lady!" He was about to reach the earrings but *Cat Noir pushed him aside to get away from him.

"He's too twisted! Ladybug was right! I shouldn't have made her tell me about him!" *Cat Noir dodged the white spheres while running from rooftop to rooftop.

"Yes! Destroy that bug!" Daymare gloated.

"Hey, focus on me, you boogey boy!" *Ladybug trying to pounce on Daymare but missed, "Focus on me!"

"Go away! I'm watching this!" Daymare glared.

"Not until you let my doppelganger away from milady!" *Ladybug put on her Cat Noir act.

*Cat Noir was having trouble fighting Cat Blanc since he's too strong and his mega cataclysm is deadly. If only he has his real body, he would be much stronger to beat this copycat.

"You wouldn't hurt a lady, would you? You'll miss your chance to kiss" *Cat Noir said in a cocky way to taunt his evil version while dodging the scratch attacks.

"Oh, but I want to! I'm gonna enjoy tearing you down!" Cat Blanc said.

*Cat Noir had no idea his akumatized version would be so cold-hearted like that. He dodged every white sphere by using his yo-yo to shield himself.

"How dare you! That's no way to treat your lady! You should be called Ghost Blanc since you're white and dead to me!" *Cat Noir glared at him.

"Hahahaha!!! That's a cruel joke, milady. But I'll be happy to haunt you like a ghost!" Cat Blanc cackled and was about to tackle him when he heard someone shout cataclysm.

"Don't hurt my lady you fake!" *Ladybug touched Cat Blanc with her cataclysm.

"NOOOOOO!!!!" Cat Blanc turned into black ash as the wind carried him.

*Cat Noir was stunned by what his lady did but he knew that the cat villain is not real. He wasn't a real person, just a nightmare.

"You okay?" *Ladybug helped him up.

"Yeah. Now I truly understand what I'd become if I let my anger and hatred consume me." He said.

"Yeah. Anyways, I couldn't beat Daymare. He won't stay still and I can't use my lucky charm. Only you have to do it since you're me" *Ladybug said, returning the polka-dotted blade to him.

"Alright, I'll do it." *Cat Noir said, running to where Daymare is at.

They found him creating more nightmares to the victims which are getting out of hand and he leaped at Daymare with the blade to cut the floating pillow and caught Daymare in his arms.

The akuma was escaping and *Cat Noir put the boy down and quickly used my yoyo to capture the akuma, "Bye Bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" He tossed the lucky charm and it turned into ladybugs, swarming everywhere to make the nightmares disappear.

Daymare turned back to a normal boy again, "Huh? Where am I?"

"Pound it!" *Ladybug and *Cat Noir fist-bumped.

He then opened my yoyo to take out the charm for the boy and hand it to him, "Keep this with you at all times. It will help protect you from Shadow Moth" He said.

"Thank you, Ladybug. I hope someday you'll defeat for good." The boy said before leaving.

The heroes quickly went to the dark alley to transform back which they did since they used up their power.

"That stunt you did, it felt so real. You killed your nightmare" *Adrien said and took out a macaroon to feed Tikki.

"Yes, but it still scares me if you really went that crazy." *Marinette sighs and fed Plagg his cheese.

"Is that what the real Cat Blanc was like? I would never hurt you, milady" *Adrien said with concern.

"That's why I was afraid of revealing my identity. For the boy I love becoming a villain because of me." *Marinette teared up.

*Adrien hugged *Marinette which felt odd that he's hugging his own body, "Milady, I'm not him. I would never get akumatized. There were times I felt heartbroken by your rejections but I stayed strong"

"I'm really sorry for all this." *Marinette said.

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry. I shouldn't have made you tell me about him. It was very selfish of me" *Adrien held her tightly.

"I forgive you, Adrien. We both learned a lesson." *Marinette said.

"Yeah, but please don't ever think I'll turn into him. Like you said, he never existed" *Adrien said, still finds it awkward that he's hugging his own body.

"Of course." *Marinette smiles a bit.

"You know this black kitty cat is much charming than that twisted white cat" *Adrien said, pulling away from the hug.

"Indeed but you know I still have a long way to make up for all the times I pushed you in the dark. But right now, you gotta get to Alya's place since today is a girls' hang out with Juleka, Rose, Alix, Mylene, and Alya. Remember what I taught you" *Marinette said as she said her transformation words to transform back to Cat Noir.

"Ah, man. I'm gonna turn girly. I don't know anything about girls hang out but fine" *Adrien groaned that he has no choice to be in Marinette's place. He walked back to Marinette's home to prepare for the girls' night out.
