don't look back.
      chapter 1

"I Marinette Dupain-Cheng promise to not tell a soul of my miraculous duties"
"Well that's it Marinette, it's time to say goodbye, to Chat, and then Tikki. Please be back soon"
I feel myself tearing up, I never knew if this moment would come, if I'd grow up, or if I'd die, or if I'd just keep Tikki forever.
"Thanks Master Fu"
"I told Chat Noir to meet you at the Eiffel tower."
"Thank you" I smile, and excuse myself out into the alley way.
"Come on Tikki" I try to keep a smile, we both didn't think this day would come.
"Say the words Marinette" Tikki gave a weak smile.
"Tikki spots on"
The transformation takes over me, one of the last times, the red suit, with the cute little black polka dots. I'll miss this, but it's time to move on. I point my yoyo towards the Eiffel tower and I'm on my way. I see the black cat sitting at the top waiting for me. I land softly behind him, I walk up to the edge and sit next to him. I lay my head on his shoulder, I hear a sniffle from him.
"Hey kitty don't cry, or I'll cry" I laugh nervously, the tears forming in my eyes.
"I didn't know I'd have to say goodbye to you bugaboo." He looks at me with his emerald green eyes, filled with tears.
"I know Minou, you're my best friend. I never knew this was gonna happen either but I'd never take the years back just because of our goodbye." I wipe away his tears, and hug him like it's the last time I will... because it is.
"Master Fu said we can't even reveal ourselves" he looked at the ground below, disappointed.
"I know," I whisper gently. We both know with Hawkmoth still around we can't. But the deviation of knowing hurts.
"Ladybug I love you" he blurts out looking at me with desperate eyes.
"Chat" my voice breaks, I feel the hiccup of sobs, and tears coming up my throat.
"May I M'lady?" He looks from my eyes to my lips. I nod unable to speak.
He kisses my lips, in this small little kiss I felt so much. I felt longing, lust, hope, heartbreak, and the worst of all, goodbye.
"I'll miss you kitty"
"I'll miss you too. In another lifetime my love" he gives me a weak smile and stands up, grabbing me with him.
"I'm not good at goodbyes, can this be more of a 'see you later'?" He chuckles at me.
"Of course M'lady" we both wipe our tears away, but we both know more is to come.
"Chat, please move on though, don't let me hold you back. I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you these years, I was caught up on this other boy…"
"It's okay Ladybug, you don't owe me anything explanation, please don't feel guilty for my crush on you" we both laughed again, I'm gonna miss his stupid grin.
"This is it." I realized yet again how drastic this situation is. He pulls me into a hug again.
"Bugaboo?"
"Yes kitty?"
"Remember to stay paw-some"
"You stupid alley cat and your dumb puns!" I giggle and push him off me. My face goes back to a frown.
"I'll never heard another one of your puns"
We stand in silence, both feeling the hurt of all these sentences.
"I'll see you around Bugaboo, to us, and to Paris"
He makes a fake toast, and I look into his emerald eyes one more time.
"Goodbye Chat Noir, until we meet again"
He bows, and kisses my hand, and then he's gone.
"Tikki spots off" I needed one last bit of Tikki advice. I start to sob uncontrollably, thinking about how I'll never see him again.
"Oh Marinette"
"I'm losing two of my best friends in one day" I laugh at the craziness of this situation.
"I know Mari, I know. This sucks, and I can't imagine how you feel. I'm going to miss you so much. You and Chat were me and Plaggs best kwami owners. We're gonna miss you guys so much."
Tikki snuggles into my neck, wiping my tears away first.
"Awe Tikki, tell Plagg I'll miss him too."
"Will do Marinette. It's getting late, you should get some sleep, Master Fu is probably done with Chat."
"Yeah okay, good idea"
I give myself a little pep talk in my head, everything will be okay Marinette. It always is.
"Tikki spots on!"
This will be the last time. The last time I flew through Paris, my hair in the wind, throwing my yoyo from bar to bar, the last time.
I savour this last moment, and enjoy myself, taking the long way to Fu's place.
"WOOOO" I scream as loud as I can, adrenaline pumping through my veins.
"GOODBYE PARIS!" I yell one last final thing, my adrenaline high coming down. I easily drop into the alley right by Master Fu's place.
"This is it" I whisper to myself before I enter.
"Tikki spots off" I take a deep breath.
"I know we sorta already said goodbye Tikki, but I just wanted to say thank you for everything, and to you too Master Fu." I gesture towards him and he bows a little.
"Thank you for all the advice that got me through middle and high school Tikki. I'll never forget you" she flies onto my cheek hugging me tight.
"I'll miss you Marinette, thank you for protecting Paris, and feeding me" she giggles and so do I.
"You're welcome, Master Fu, I'm not doubting you, but please give Plagg and Tikki to people that really care"
He grabs my hands and looks me in the eyes.
"I will Ms. Marinette." He smiles, then holds out his hand for my earrings.
"Goodbye Tikki" I take one earring out.
"Goodbye Marinette" I take the other out, putting them in Master Fu's hand.
"Tikki I renounce you" she flies "into" the earrings and disappears.

This was it.

No more playing superhero.

No more Tikki.

No more Chat.

"Thank you Marinette, for putting your life on the line to protect Paris. I hope life brings you wonderful things."
"No problem Master Fu, I loved it. Thank you for everything, and for believing in me. Until next time"
I give one more smile, and push the front door opening it, and I don't look back.
