Ladybug's POV:

Paris.

It's a beautiful city, isn't it? Full of thousands of people, all getting along with their ordinary lives. But it's not so easy to fit in when you're a crime-fighting super-hero.

"Bye bye, little butterfly," I say, as I release the little critter back into the wild. It flaps it's wings like it is in a snowstorm.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" I cry as I throw my lucky charm into the air. As I do so, Paris is returned to its normal state, the upended cars turning the right way round.

Beside me, Chat Noir offers me a hand, and we bump fists. "Another job well done, M'lady," he says. "Thanks, kitty," I reply. We both hear a beep. "But now, I have to go, before I change back." I grab my yo-yo. "See you around kitty- cat," I say, and I swing myself back to the Paris bakery.

I transform back to my usual clumsy self, just as I get through my window. Tikki flies into my hands.

"Well done, Marinette," she chirps. "Now Paris is  safe again!"

"Thanks, Tikki," I say. "But I couldn't have done it without you. I wouldn't be Ladybug, after all." Tikki flies up to my shoulder, so she is right next to my ear.

"Remember, Marinette, you don't always have to be Ladybug. You can always save the day as your normal self."

I laugh. "But how would I capture the akuma if I didn't have my yo-yo?"

"I didn't mean saving the day by catching akumas," Tikki explains. "I meant that you could save the day by helping others. You don't need a costume to save someone's life."

I nuzzle my face on the little kwami. "Thank you, Tikki," I say. She squeaks.

"Marinette, your hurting me!"

I immediately stop, and smile apologetically. "Sorry, sorry Tikki!" I say quickly, trying to make amends.

Tikki smiles at me sweetly. "It's ok, Marinette."

Suddenly, a loud noise can be heard from outside of my window.

"What's that, Tikki?" I ask the little kwami, hurrying towards my balcony. I open the trapdoor, and I see none other than Chat Noir. Luckily, Tikki has already hid.

He walks into my room likes he owns the place, the silly kitty.

"Chat Noir," I gasp in mock surprise. "Whatever is a paw-some superhero such as  yourself doing in my room?"

"Oh, I don't know," he says nonchalantly, looking around. He wears that stupid smile that always drives me up the wall. "I just felt like visiting my princess. It's been a while since I last saw you." That would have been when I helped defeat the Evillistrator. "Nice pun, by the way," he smiles.

His eyes lock on something on the wall- my pictures of Adrien. I feel heat rushing to my cheeks, and I hastily rip a few of them down and hide them in my desk drawer. Out of the corner of my eye, I think I see his smile fade slightly, but when I turn back around he is still smiling.

His miraculous starts to beep.

"Well, I better be going," he sighs. "See you later, purrincess." He makes one last pun before diving out of the window and onto nearby roof. Tikki reappears beside me.

"What do you think he wanted, Tikki?" I ask the minute kwami.

"I'm not sure, Marinette," she replies. "But I do know that you have school in the morning! You should probably get some sleep."

I yawn in response, and clamber unto my bed. " 'night, Tikki," I mumble.

"Goodnight, Marinette."

So this story is dedicated to my best friend Nikki (Nicola). A little bit of the story line was made up by her but I'm changing it up a bit for her. She gave this story to me because she decided she was going to leave Wattpad. I'm not going to go into details about why, but she said that I could have some if her story ideas. I hope that you enjoy this story!
