Pissed Parisians and Exhausted Heroes

Marinette was shaken awake by a certain Kwami talking about some new Akuma walking around causing havoc on the streets.

"Tikki, spots on!"

She transformed in her bed, tempted to go back to sleep, but just as her eyes closed again, she felt more than heard the explosion shake the ground, forcing her to investigate.

Upon her arrival, she saw Chat Noir fighting a floating Akuma being followed by thousands of sleepwalking citizens.

The Akuma had white hair in a long, flowy ponytail that fell to her waist. She was wearing black-purple pajamas with lighter purple stars sprinkled everywhere. In one hand, the Akuma carried a black teddy bear and in the other, she dragged along a white pillow. Sporadically, the pillow would blacken and shoot out a light purple beam. Ladybug could only guess that that was what was making the citizens sleepwalk around Paris.

She landed beside her partner, sleepily leaning on his shoulder.

"Beautiful night for a walk, huh, M'lady?" Chat said before a long yawn slipped from him. Ladybug only groaned in response, dragging herself off of her partner to get a good look at the Akuma.

"Any idea where the Akuma is?"

"I think in the bear, she seems very protective of it. Whenever I got close, she would close in on the bear."

Ladybug pursed her lips in an attempt to push down a yawn. "What does the Akuma call herself?"

"She hasn't said anything, so no idea."

"Mm," the yawn escaped Ladybug. She resorted to stretching, hoping to shake the growing tiredness from her body. "Right, let's go."

The two battled the Akuma the rest of the night, only managing to steal the bear from her and catch the Akuma when Chat had restrained her, holding her arms roughly behind her as Ladybug snatched the bear from her.

The Akuma had finally opened her mouth as she screamed, reaching for the broken bear as she transformed back into a small girl, maybe only eight years old.

Ladybug's magical cure quickly fixed the bear, and they immediately gave it back to the girl, who cradled its head in her arms, still shaking.

After a bit of coaxing, they found out that the girl had been sleepwalking and had bumped into the counter downstairs, which woke her up and confused her as well as scared her.

After taking the young child back to her house, Ladybug quickly hurried home, hoping to get an extra hour of sleep.

Her alarm went off the second she transformed back and cuddled under the covers.

"Marinette! Wake up or you'll be late!" Sabine called from the living room. Marinette reluctantly peeled herself from her cozy bed and trudged to school after getting ready.

During lunch, Marinette had planned on taking a small nap, when her phone went off with an Akuma alert. She quickly excused herself to the bathroom, where she transformed and quickly leaped out the window, chasing after the Akuma.

Finally arriving at the scene, Chat landed beside her as they took in the newest Akuma.

The Akuma was covered in pale blue paint that dripped onto the floor as he walked around, and anyone who stepped into the paint was turned into a paint monster, whose sole purpose was to spread the paint around and infect more people.

"Ladybug~, Chat Noir~! Give me your miraculous!" the Akuma cooed, turning to face them.

Suddenly, he was right in front of them, standing in a blot of paint.
