Their Closure

twenty-seven

"Alright students, simmer down!" Ms. Bustier clapped her hands. "Marinette! It's good to see you again."

"Ms. Bustier!" Someone called from the back. "I noticed that Adrien and Marinette aren't in their regular seats. Isn't that, like, against the classroom rules?"

"Um..we don't have classroom rules, Lila." Ms. Bustier replied.

Marinette and Adrien whipped their heads around to see Lila smirking at Marinette. Marinette growled.

"Well, I'm having some trouble understanding lessons lately. Would you mind if Adrien sat next to me and helped me?" Lila looked back up to Ms. Bustier.

Ms. Bustier opened her mouth to reply, but Adrien raised his hand. "Ms. Bustier, is it alright if I speak with you privately?"

Ms. Bustier nodded and opened the door for Adrien. He got up and gave Lila a glare as he walked out the door.

~time skip~

Adrien and Ms. Bustier walked through the door. Alya and Nino quickly turned around.

Adrien smiled at Marinette as he sat down. He held her hand below the table and rubbed the back of it with his thumb.

"Lila, if you need help with your work, then you are more than welcome to sit beside Sabrina. She's very smart and will definitely help you."

Marinette saw Lila groan with a nasty look on her face and sat in Chloe's seat, then everything went white.

Marinette jerked up. Had she fallen asleep? Why did she have another dream about her memories? Why was it about her last interaction with Lila?

Then it hit her. Lila was angry and jealous with her the last time they had some sort of interaction. She could possibly be the one who stole Tikki.

Marinette didn't take this lightly. She was sure this was another sign from the universe.

Marinette transformed into DragonBug. Her suit was different, but she didn't have the heart to change her name. It felt like betrayal towards Tikki.

DragonBug jumped onto her roof and made her way to Lila's house, which was in the same building complex as her. DragonBug figured it would be wiser to spy on Lila from the park, so she went into a tree, settled in, and peered through Lila's window. Luckily, her window was open, so DragonBug could hear everything.

There Lila was, sitting on her bed with her laptop on her lap. She was watching a YouTube video about Chat Noir and his puns. DragonBug rolled her eyes and moved her gaze to Lila's ears.

She had black earrings on, and they were very identical to hers. DragonBug looked around Lila's room for Tikki, but she wasn't seen.

"I want to see Adrien." Lila announced and stood up.

Then, DragonBug saw Tikki. It took everything in her heart not to cry and yell for Tikki.

"But Lila, making you look exactly like Ladybug is taking up my energy too much. If I keep doing this, then my powers can be damaged." Tikki looked so miserable.

"I don't care!" Lila snapped.

DragonBug immediately called Alya. She explained her situation and told her to alert Chat Noir.

"Transform me!" Lila whined. "Now!"

"Lila, please. I haven't had anything to eat since you captured me. I have no more energy." Tikki pleaded for some food.

Lila grabbed Tikki forcefully and held her close to her face with a nasty look.

"Listen to me, Bug. I'm your owner now, got it?" Lila hissed.
