MDC: Miraculous Changes Of Marinette Dupain-Cheng

big guns

Sorry for the lack in update, guys, ya girl has GRADUATED! Now for college 🙄 and updates to celebrate 🥳

💙

I never thought I would change as much as I did.

I knew changes would happen, sure. I would get a little taller, my hair would grow, but I always planned to be the same, if not just a slightly more mature Marinette.

I never knew I could get like this.

I had just finished getting my hair done when my phone rang. Seeing the contact photo brought a smile to my face and I answered it.

"Hey Angelcake! How are you?"

"I'm ok, Mari-bar. Just finished work for the day, business has been booming since you helped me with those updates to my website. Speaking of which, I have the graphics done that you asked me for, I sent them over to you!"

"Thank you so much! You always know how to make logos look so alive! I can't wait for you to get here! "

"Me either, babe. The guys have been driving me crazy about you, though. You sure they can't come? "

"I want them to, I really do, it's just that get intense because the situation is so delicate and you know how they are when they wanna defend us. "

"We're a family, Mari. They wanna fight for you too, and from what you told me, we need the firepower. I'll see you soon, and I'll call you tonight. Love you! "

"Love you too, Angel. Talk to you soon!"

The moment I got off the phone, I heard a banging on the main door of the shop. We had closed early because Papa started to feel lightheaded, so I almost  went down until I heard who it was.

Alya. And the rest of my class.

I looked down at them from my balcony, them cursing and screaming at me from the street.

I almost pity what will happen when they realize I was right. Adrian looked so upset standing there, glaring at the class.

I did what felt right.

I grabbed all the photos I had of them with me, grabbed my candle lighter and lit them, letting them go down to the quieting crowd.

I kept going until I had no more pictures of them on my walls and they were silent. Alya looked confused, picking up the now singed through first picture I took of the two of us. It was the only copy and it was pristine. She looked like she was gonna tell at me until she saw me going back in.

I grabbed a box, full of things they were for them.

Presents, things they had asked me to make, screamed at me for and cursed me into making.

I walked down, lighter and fluid in hand.

I opened the door and kicked the box in front of Alya.

She looked angry, then scared when I I sprayed the box and lit the lighter. The whole class, Lila included, backed away.

Then screamed as I set the damn thing on fire.

They were shocked, clearly. I looked bored with them all and frankly dissapointed.

"Here's the stuff you all wanted when we were friends. Anything not in that box, I gave away to people who actually matter to me and deserve it. You can all leave now. Don't come back. Goodbye."

Adrien looked panicked for a second until I smiled at him, a small, quiet smile he knew no one else saw that let him know I'm here for you. I slammed the door and locked it in Alya's face and went back up to change my clothes.

No more getting pushed around, no more being sweet.

I wanted a little chaos in my life that I made. Not Hawkmoth, not Lila, not school or my trash ex-friends.

Something fully mine.

🤍

Sitting with the boys after getting off the phone with Mari left me enraged.

She needed help, and my plane wasn't ready.

I know, first world problem, but if I can afford it and maintain it myself, why can't the flight crew be ready on time for once? I considered giving them a sec, but this was a few hours past a sec.

When Mari sent Luka over and explained their relationship, I was happy to help him adjust to being in the lifestyle he now had.

With great money and power, came great responsibility and need for guidance at times, and I was happy she trusted me with this.

When she told me about the little snake she had to deal with, I supported her from the bench when I should have been chopping the demon's head off.

Mari wanted to do things her way, and because I respect that, I stayed on the bench.

I knew things had gotten worse, but not calling-at-3am-to-tell-me-the-witch-got-her-fucking-expelled-levels of bad.

Now that we were headed over there, I was more than ready.

Justice was ready to see Mari again and to help her get back to herself. He is also a simp, but hey he's apart of the club.

After we finally boarded the plane and took off, Luka frowned. "I can't believe my sister would do that to her. Mari of all people would never bully someone."

"We know, Maestro, but remember, we do things her way."

"Y'all know she's serious about not mangling the girl, right?"

"I'm not gonna mangle her," Justice said with a smirk. " Just her career, social life, and chances of being a functioning member of society."

I rolled my eyes at the fistbumo they have each other and stared out the window.

Time to woman the fuck up.
