You're The Music That's Been Playing In My Head: Book 3

Chat Blanc: Part 1

Author: As I said in Timetagger you would be hearing back about miraculous ladybug's broken time travel and The Artistic Aloubell so here's why Chat Blanc is problematic and why changes needed to be made all described in more detail by Aloubell.

1. Chat Blanc created a paradox through Bunnyx because as it stands the original timeline has Chat Blanc happen in turn Paris gets destroyed and Alix dies which means there shouldn't be any future Bunnyx to try and fix the problem because she no longer has a future to exist in.

2. This point is just to give credit to The Artistic Aloubell for explaining the problem, how to fix it, and the rewrite concept I will be using. So the rights to the concept/ idea/ rewrite like last time belong to her and I only own the execution of the concept she didn't use or explain in full detail so please go show her some support.

The Artistic Aloubell's Chat Blanc rewrite: 

With that Chat Blanc:

A few years in the future:

Alix watches her friends from a distance as they cheer for Marinette and Adrien, today being the anniversary of them finally getting together after years of shenanigans, tears, obliviousness, and cold feet that prevented the two from getting together. Marinette thanks everyone for the celebration, claiming that her only regret was not getting together with Adrien sooner. "Well if he hadn't been so oblivious," Nino lightly jabs at Adrien before Alya cuts in. "Oh, it wasn't just him if Marinette had actually ever gone through with her confessions like when she gave you your beret," She points at the black beret with neon yellow and green stripes with two hearts sewn on it that Adrien was wearing.

"What? You made this for me? I thought it was from some fangirls in Brazil," Adrien asks Marinette confused, and (y/n) laughs. "She never told you? Figures but yeah Marinette made that for you. If it weren't for the girls she would've gotten cold feet again and not given it to you," Alix chuckles at that, recalling winning Princess Twinkle Peach because Rose had bet that Marinette would do it on the first try. "You really are the best Marinette!" She hears Adrien say as he envelopes her in a hug, the two were so happy together it was a shame it did take as long as it did for these two to get together if only they'd gotten together sooner...An idea hits Alix when Marinette gave Adrien that beret she was confused about how she felt toward Adrien only delaying them getting together even more so what if she went back and gave them a little push to get the ball rolling faster? Alix couldn't see how anything bad could happen from that and they could both be happier sooner. With that, Alix steps back into the shadows, transforms, and heads into burrow looking for a specific point in time.

The present:

The girls and I were hanging out, with an ongoing bet. Today was Adrien's fifth name's day and Marinette had made him a beret out of old habit but was unsure whether or not to give it to him. It seemed after the whole ordeal in New York she couldn't figure out how she felt about Adrien and of course, Alya had pushed her to give it to him with a couple of the other girls. "You know she's not actually gonna do it right?" I point out, it was obvious with Marinette's history of cold feet.

"Today's the day I know it," Alya exclaims and Alix snorts, "I'm with (y/n), I'll bet you my skates she won't do it." "I'll bet my favorite unicorn plush that she will," Rose speaks up, she was one of the few of us that told Marinette to give him the gift because it'd be a nice thing to do. "Marinette!" Mylène points and we all look at an approaching Marinette, the gift still in hand. "I was thinking, what if Adrien doesn't like berets, or what if he hates it when people celebrate his fifth name's day?" Alix holds out her hand to Rose expectantly. "Don't worry, Princess Twinkle Peach will be happy with me," Rose reluctantly hands over her unicorn plush. "The only way you'll know is to give him the gift and who knows maybe this'll be that final push that'll get you two together," Alya exclaims as Marinette sits on the bench. "I know but-" Marinette starts to say, reaching in the picnic basket for a sandwich but Rose smacks her hand away and shuts the basket.

"That's it Marinette! No more picnics, sleepovers, or going to the movies with us until you give him that gift! You made that hat for Saint Athanasius Day, which is today! How is Adrien supposed to know you're thinking of him on his fifth name's day if you don't give him your gift?" "She's right. Today's the day!" Alya chimes in and the girls start to cheer for her as Mylène tells Marinette "Rise and shine, behold the goddess of self-confidence has awakened," Marinette takes off and Alya starts pushing me. "What are you doing?" "You have to go with her to see if she actually gives him that gift, you're the only one she won't tempt to bribe to lie to us saying she did," The girls nod and I sigh, they were just gonna pester me until I went not to mention this would be a good chance to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid.

I catch up with Marinette who was reassuring Tikki she was actually going to do this and that she wouldn't take no for an answer. When we get there however she was given a no because Adrien wasn't home. "Ok um, when will he be back?" "I can't tell you, goodbye young ladies." "Weird, Adrien's fencing class ended almost thirty minutes ago, he should be back by now," Marinette mumbles when Flaake pops her head out stating, "You can give him his present tomorrow at school." "No, you heard what Rose said, I can't back out again," She takes off and I chase after her asking, "What exactly are you planning on doing?" "I'll just go through his window, and drop his gift off." "Excuse you?" I ask as Tikki tells her, "You know you're not allowed to use your powers for personal reasons." "I'll be quick, and no one will ever know," She darts into a corner, transforms, and breaks into Adrien's room. Groaning I do the same to see her staring awestruck at everything. I smack her upside the head before she could go full stalker mode stating, "Let's go, we're not supposed to be here."

She quickly places the gift on his pillow and we turn around to leave when burrow suddenly pops up and out steps a slightly older-looking Bunnyx. "Mini-bug! Bear-cub! Good to see ya!" She exclaims, tousling our hair. "Bunnyx? What are you doing here?" We both ask in unison and she gives us a smile. "I'm here to help." "Help? Help with what?" I ask, crossing my arms and she points at Ladybug. "You Marinette need to sign Adrien's gift." "Wh- how do you know my identity?!" Ladybug asks, eyes widening in shock. "There are some perks to growing up," Bunnyx says with a smirk. "Ok but why do I need to sign the gift?" "Just trust me," She winks, tossing a pen to Ladybug who looks between Bunnyx and me and I spin my finger in a circle, telling her to hurry up. Ladybug quickly signs the gift and Bunnyx leaves before I take off out of Adrien's room, Ladybug soon following behind me.

Adrien walks into his room and watches in confusion as Ladybug leaves his room. Confused, he looks around his room, soon taking notice of the gift left for him, and opens the gift. "Why would Ladybug leave me a gift from Marinette, and with hearts embroidered on it?" Adrien asks, looking over the beret. Plagg understandably starts to get nervous as he spouted an excuse. "Well, it's obvious because...Marinette asked her too," Adrien hums in thought, looking over the signed part of the wrapping, and recognizing the handwriting. "Wait a minute..." He runs to his desk and pulls out the Valentine's Day card he had gotten that he was confident was from Ladybug and it was the exact same handwriting, not to mention why deliver a gift unless it was her's? "Plagg, you're wrong, Ladybug and Marinette are the same person!" Adrien recalls all their interactions especially when Ladybug told him that she had feelings for someone else. "The boy she's in love with...Is me..." He mutters in shock, Plagg soon trying to tug the beret out of Adrien's hand.

"No, no, no, no, no, it doesn't make any sense. Marinette is Marinette and Ladybug is-" "Marinette." "Adrien this whole thing smells like rotten cheese you know you're not supposed to know each other's secret identities!" "Just because I know her secret identity doesn't mean she has to know about mine. Everything will be just fine I promise." "You aren't going to return her feelings, are you? You're in a relationship with Kagami!" "I dunno, this changes a lot. I'll have to think about it..." Adrien trails off clutching the beret. "Adrien putting a smelly piece of cheese in a box doesn't stop it from smelling!"
