You're The Music That's Been Playing In My Head: Book 2

The Dark Owl: Part 2

"Of course! If we make him a hero for a day, as he's always dreamed of, he'll be happy and quit playing this dangerous game. Spot on as usual, M'lady. We just need to figure out how," Chat exclaims, earning him a smirk from Ladybug. 

"I just may have an idea."

I wasn't even gonna bother arguing against this because I just wanted this whole Mr. Damocles situation to be over with faster.

That night, Marinette and I stayed up all night working on her idea. We'd make a fake supervillain: Cardboard Girl, and pretend she's captured us and taken our miraculous, which were made with salt dough and paint, except for mine, which were just knitted gloves, and have The Owl save us with some help from Alya. Once the costumes and fake miraculous were made, we both collapsed into bed when our alarms went off. Looking out the window to see the sun was up, Marinette and I both groaned in tiredness.

At least tomorrow was Friday.

After school was over again, Mr. Damocles rushed us out of the school, once more.

"Sorry, but my parents need us again, but we should be free for a sleepover tomorrow." 

After dropping our bags at home, we transform yet again and meet up with Chat Noir, explaining our plan to him before dropping by at Alya's.

"Ladybug? Chat Noir? (s/n)? Woah!" She exclaims excitedly and agrees to help us. 

Alya calls Mr. Damocles. 

"Hello?" 

"Is this The Owl?" 

"Who is this?! How do you know my secret identity?!" 

The four of us start giggling. 

"I am Cardboard Girl! The supervillain, I've kidnapped Ladybug, Chat Noir, and (s/n)!" 

Alya lets out an evil laugh before pointing the phone at us, and we beg for help. 

"Release them immediately!" 

"Never! I'll never tell you that I'm holding them at the Place Des Vosges square either!" She maniacally laughs out. 

"Aha! You gave yourself away, Cardboard Girl. Now you shall face the feathered fury of The Owl Hoo-Hoo!" 

We hear him fall over his desk before the call ends, and the four of us laugh.

"So? How was I?" 

"Nailed it." 

"Now you just need to put this on," Ladybug hands Alya the Cardboard Girl costume, and she looks over it skeptically. 

"You sure about this, uh...Outfit?" 

"Definitely," The three of us say in unison, and we head to the park and wait for The Owl to arrive.

When he does, we hide the view of our miraculous; thankfully, the public didn't know too much about the miraculous – including the fact that to be transformed, one must be wearing the miraculous.

 "Give up, Ladybug, (s/n), and Chat Noir, I, the evil Cardboard Girl, have taken your miraculous! No one can save you now!" Cardboard Girl loudly proclaims, making a big show of putting our 'miraculous' in a box.

"Hoo-Hoo!" 

"Owl!" The three of us cry out happily.

"Owl Talon! Hoo-Hoo!" He shoots a grappling hook at us, which bounces off a lampost, the carousel, and lands on a truck that dragged The Owl in the dirt, straight into a trash can and a tree.
