Hidden Secrets

Chapter 8

Annabell POV

Today is the day. I talked about the finishing touches to the reveal with Master Fu and he accepted my idea. This is going to be so exciting although I still  have to go to school. We pulled up to the school just in time for Adrien to catch his new stumbling girlfriend. Mari was now three months pregnant, but she still hasn't started showing even though her mood swings are starting to get noticeable. We walked into class talking about random things and we saw again in the center of attention.

"What is it this time Lie-la." Marinette asked and Kim replied that they were just talking about Lila saving her aunt who worked in the FBI. And that it's nothing of her business. I didn't want to listen to her lies, so I just sat next to Chloe. The day was pretty much boring all the way through, so I did the work I needed to do and tried to pay the slightest amount of attention. Finally the first part of lessons started and we went to lunch. Adrien was taking Mari on a date so I ate with Chloe when Lila came up and said.

"I'm so sorry Annabell, in the amount of work I have with dresses I forgot to ask If you and Chloe want one?"

I didn't want her to see the real me just yet. She still doesn't know that I can see through her lies, and I didn't need an enemy for now, so I replied: "Oh that's very nice of you, but I'm afraid Uncle Gabriel will make me wear one of his designs. And don't worry, you don't have to apologize, I understand. What about you Chlo?" I finished with a sweet smile and winked at Chloe.

"As if I would want a dress designed by you, Lie-la. I'll either ask Marinette for a dress or buy it from Gabriel Agreste. You're ridiculous to ask me that, utterly ridiculous."

She said and Rossi instantly put on her crocodile tears. The whole group shouted at Queenie,* how can she be so mean, and hang out with a bully like Marinette and went to Lila. After lunch and the other lesson's ended I headed home, did homework and took a small nap preparing for the events of this night.

***Le time skip through her nap cause I'm lazy***

I woke up again this day feeling exited as ever and prepared the final part of my plan: three notes. The first one was to Adrien, the second to Marinette, and the third one was to Uncle although it didn't have anything to do with the reveal.

Adrien's note said: Adrien, meet me at the Triumphal Arc at 9:00. ~Ladybug

Marinette's note said: Marinette, meet me at the Triumphal Arc at 9:00.~Chat Noir

Gabe's note said: Gabe, trust you son, while he still trusts you. Love Emily.

I was the only person who knew about Aunt Emily calling Uncle "Gabe", so I kind of decided to use that. I could only imagine his reaction when he reads a note from his dead wife. I teleported the notes so that they would drift slowly from the ceiling onto the said persons head and impatiently waited for nine o'clock to come.

Finally it was five to nine so I decided to teleport myself into the shadows. Oh I forgot to tell you. Master Fu borrowed me tiger miraculous**, which had the ability to turn the owner to an animal. I transformed and morphed into a black cat and hid in the shadows waiting for Mari and Adrien to come. The first one to show up was Adrien in his Chat form. He detransformed and waited. Marinette came soon too and as they didn't see each other I kept waiting. The next moment I heard a "Mari?" and "A-adrien?" be said at the same time so I waited a bit more and listened to their conversation.

"Why are you here Adrien?"

"I could ask you the same question Mari."

"Ugh, okay, fine, Chat Noir messaged me to meet him here. And you?"

"Well, weird thing, but Ladybug asked me to meet her here too."

And then realization hit them.

"You're Ladybug/Chat Noir?!"

They said in unison, so I decided to make my appearance. I casually strolled out of the shadows and rubbed against Marinette's leg who looked at me with a confused look on her face, but then smiled and petted me. Just then to suprise them even more I morphed into a tiger and started to purr***. They both shrieked and jumped away terrified. I transformed back into my superhero version and then back into my old self and started laughing. They were so confused, that I started to laugh even more. They started laughing awkwardly too. When I calmed down enough to speak I said:

"Don't you understand? It was me. I wrote the notes telling you to come here. I revealed you. And forestall the question, Master Fu let me and gave me the tiger miraculous. You should have seen your faces. I'll be laughing every time at the memory of this."

"Oh kitty, I'm so glad it's you."

"Same here."

"Uhh and I realized one thing. I kept rejecting you for you."

They giggled, kissed and then Plagg, Tikki and Roaar floated out and hugged a group hug. With that we transformed and headed home to get some sleep. I was glad my idea worked out.

A/N *I'm thinking about other nicknames for Chloe. Have any ideas?

** I just literally made this up, but I kept the kwami's name.

***That's not physically possible, but who cares.

I'm glad how this chapter worked out. Do you like my prank reveal idea? And what about Gabe's reaction to the note? Keep reading to find out.

P.S. Two chapters in one day? Wow that's unusual.
