Past or Future

Back to the Future

A few weeks passed and the girls were almost completely healed. Master Fu tried to get them to stay longer, to finish healing, but they refused. "We can't leave the boys on their own any longer."

He sighed and smiled. "I can see I will not change your mind. Be safe and try not to open your wounds."

Ladybug transformed into Queen Cobra again and grabbed Marinette's waist. They leapt onto the neighboring building's roof and sprinted away. Ladybug saw the boys hanging out on her roof deck and landed there. "Surprise!"

After all the 'OMG I missed you, I'm so glad you're back's, Ladybug turned to Adrien. "I need my miraculous back.'' He immediately unfastened the earrings and handed them to her. Marinette wondered when he got his ears pierced. Ladybug excused herself and slipped into her room, closing the trap door behind her. She detransformed and put on her earrings. "Oh, Tikki, I've missed you!" They hugged and Ladybug transformed again. She placed the snake miraculous into the miracle box and went back onto the roof deck. They all went to the Eiffel Tower and hung out for a while. There was a pause in the conversation and Ladybug looked at Marinette questioningly. Marinette nodded and Ladybug turned to Adrien. "Adrien Agreste, I have given it a lot of thought and have come to the conclusion that you deserve a miraculous."

Ladybug pulled the bee miraculous out from her yo-yo and held it out to Adrien. "I am entrusting you with the bee miraculous. Guard it with your life."

"W-wait! You already tried to give me a miraculous, but it didn't work, remember?"

"Yes, but that was the snake miraculous." Adrien didn't want to disappoint Ladybug, but he couldn't take the miraculous.

"No. I'm not cut out to be a superhero."

"But-"

"I'm not taking it. Thank you, though." He curled Ladybugs hand around the miraculous and pushed her closed fist to her chest. "I'm sorry."

She sucked in a deep breath and smiled. "No problem." She paused and smiled. "Could you at least try it? I kinda want to see what you'd look like."

When she smiled like that, there was nothing he wouldn't do to keep her happy. Adrien smiled and held out a hand for it. She placed the comb in his hand and he fastened it in his hair. A yellow kwami appeared in the air and bowed to him. "Greetings, your highness. I-"

"Oh, you don't have to call me that." Adrien was slightly uncomfortable. Pollen's eyes widened in shock and she smiled.

"Very well. I am Pollen. All you need to do is say Pollen, buzz on!"

"Pollen, buzz on!" The others shielded their eyes as Adrien glowed yellow and transformed. He looked down and saw his yellow suit. "Now I'm...Miel!"

"Doesn't that mean 'honey' in french?" Ladybug asked.

"Maybe.." He smirked.

"You look great, Miel!" Marinette said.

Adrien turned to her and replied "I think I look better in black. Brings out my eyes." He gestured at his eyes and smiled. Marinette gasped. "What? What did I..." He trailed off, realizing what he had said. His hands lowered and he stared at Ladybug. She spoke calmly.

"Chat, isn't it a little weird that past you hadn't come to help you during akuma attacks? In fact, I don't think I've even seen past you at all."

"W-well, I.."

She turned to Adrien. "Adrien, please go with Chat Noir into Marinette's room, put on Chat's ring and transform there."

"I-I.." She raised an eyebrow.
