In the Future... (Miraculous Ladybug)

e i g h t

Marinette lay in bed, wide awake. She had been awake for about 15 minutes, lost in her thoughts. The morning light shone through the closed curtains, giving the room a pink-tinted light. She was still wondering what had happened the day before, but all she could remember was getting hit by the villain's light beams and suddenly everything being fixed. She finally got up to check the time, and was surprised.

"It's only six-thirty?!" She gasped rather loudly, waking up Tikki. She apologized for the noise by snuggling the kwami into a hug. Marinette wasn't feeling sleepy or grumpy as usual in the mornings. Gosh, she had slept great. "Tikki," Marinette yawned while stepping down from her loft bed. "I think this is the best sleep I've ever gotten!"

The kwami giggled before going towards the box in which Marinette kept the Miracle Box. 

Marinette assumed she was waking up the others, and decided to take the opportunity to take a shower while she was alone. She didn't like when nosy kwamis such as Barkk and Mullo snuck in on her while she was showering or changing. Once they even woke her up by pouring ice cold water on her head while she slept. 

By the time she came out of the bathroom all changed and ready to go, the kwamis were already up. 

For once she wasn't late, so she went downstairs to enjoy a good Wednesday breakfast with her parents. They were surprised too, usually she grabbed a croissant to-go on her way to school. She was never this early. 

"Someone slept well today." Tom laughed while serving his daughter a fresh Crêpe. She poured some hot chocolate on it before folding it.

"Yes, Papa. I don't know what made me sleep so well." Marinette had remembered being extremely tired the day before for some reason. She had also had this really weird dream. Maybe it was the combination of both that made her have such a good night's rest.

Marinette choked on her food after remembering it. It had been about three kids named Hector, Emily, and Lewis. They must've been from another country by the names. She also remembered them meeting their parents from the past, it really was a weird story. 

"You okay, Marinette?" Sabine asked with a smile. She was trying not to laugh for her daughter's sake.

"Yes, I'm good, Mama." She then continued thinking about her dream for the rest of the day. What weird dreams she had.

It was almost the end of Miss Bustier's class in the afternoon. Everyone was beginning to discreetly pack their things to avoid the teacher noticing their excitement to get out of class. Adrien walked out the front of the school, sort of in a rush since he had to get to his Chinese class right after school. He had been looking down at his algebra textbook trying to bookmark a page when he bumped into someone. He looked up, and there was Marinette who had fallen down to the floor along with him. Marinette helped him up and Adrien handed her the folder she dropped.

"Adrien! I'm so sorry!" Marinette looked down at her feet, but his voice brought her eyes to his.

"It's no big deal." Adrien chuckled. He waved bye, to which she waved and smiled back.

And with that, they parted ways. Adrien went towards his bodyguard's car, and Marinette walked towards Juleka and Rose who were waiting to go to get some ice cream with her. 

And what happened? Oh, those two continued to dance around each other until an accidental one-way reveal was caused by Marinette mentioning the 'spots on' her newest derby hat, wanting to create more after her feathered hat's appearance on Style Queen. Shortly after (literally two seconds after), Adrien comforted Marinette by telling her he was in fact, her boyfriend-not-officially-boyfriend, Chat. 

They hadn't remembered anything of what happened that day due to the akuma being the cause of their teleportation to another timeline. If Bunnix had taken them though, they would've remembered. If only!

They decided to keep their relationship a secret as heroes, and made it public as civilians. Fortunately, by that point Gabriel Agreste had become a somewhat better father, and didn't try to akumatize his son's girlfriend in order to revive his dead wife out of greed. They made their superhero relationship public after getting engaged as their civilian forms, and had two weddings in the same year with nobody suspecting anything. Then Hugo, Emma, and Louis finally came along, and they got to meet them for the second time, only it seemed like the first to them. 

And what happened after that?

I'll let you decide. ;)

I really hoped you all enjoyed this story! I enjoyed writing it very much, some moments were hard to get through without crying, and others I just couldn't hold in my laughter.

I'm looking at you, Emma Agreste.

I will be making a "Part 2" to this story, but I'm not revealing the plot just yet. Hopefully it'll be up in the next couple weeks. I think the part 2 will have many more chapters (Maybe around 20?) Depends on how I feel about it. 

I've already got a few ideas for it, but feel free to drop any suggestions!

(PS; it's based off on the kids, and Future A & M)

Goodbye, everyone. And thank you for all of the support on this fanfic <3.
