Three and Down

Three and down

Ridiculous. Utterly Ridiculous. Of course, there had to an Akuma today. Of course, it had to attack when she and Rossi were out of the classroom. Of course, when they got back, they had to round up their now toddler aged classmates. And of course, Dupain-Cheng, while being creepy as shit, had to throw a tantrum.

"NO!" Wailed the black haired, pigtailed toddler, pulling on a blanket, with Adrien attached to the other end, "MINE!"

"Nu-uh," Said Adrien, tugging on his end, "My blankie."

Marinette tugged on the blanket again, before losing her grip and tumbling backwards, making her hit her head on the desk. Marinette stilled, before her bottom lip wobbled and she started bawling her eyes out.

Chloe thought she heard Lila groan, before she scooped the toddler up. Chloe tried not to recoil when Marinette wrapped her small arms around her neck, both Chloe and Lila turned back to Adrien, only to find him gone.

Lila looked behind her and spotted that Alya had gone missing as well.

"We need to but a leash on them." Said Lila, as Marinette's wails started dying down.

"Ugh, you can have her." Said Chloe, pushing the toddler onto Lila.

Lila grimaced as Marinette then buried her face into her shoulder, wiping her eyes and nose of the Italians shoulder and continued sniffling. Lila heard Nino let out a small whine and scooped him up as well.

"KIM! ALIX! THAT IS NOT WHAT A POT LID IS FOR!" Chloe yelled from another room, before a loud bang sounded from the same room, followed by insane laughter. Lila spotted Rose and Juleka napping with Ivan and Mylene not far from the corner Luka was made to sit in.

Lila looked down at the two toddlers she was holding, before noting that they'd fallen asleep. Carefully, trying not to wake any of them up, Lila put Nino and Marinette down next to Juleka, before turning her attention on Max, who'd dismantled the projector...and the computer. Lila was fairly certain a host of other appliances had been similarly destroyed by the toddler as he built whatever the hell it was, he was building.

Meanwhile Chloe was stalking through the Library, a red-haired toddler on her hip, while she checked under desks, looking for the blond hair she knew so well.

"Adrikiiiins," Called Chloe, "Where are you?"

There was a quiet sneeze, making Chloe whip around and look out the window, spotting Adrien sitting next to a bird, the blanket he was fighting over with Marinette wrapped around him. Adrien sneezed again, before Chloe quickly rushed outside and grabbed him.

Adrien whined as the bird flew off, reaching both his arms out after it. Adrien started huffing, before flailing his little arms about in a tantrum as he started yelling and screaming. Chloe was suddenly aware of the dirty looks she was getting from strangers.

"Slag." Muttered a passer-by, gone before Chloe could do or say anything.

"Adrikins," Groused Chloe, trying to get the blond-haired toddler to calm down, just as Adrien's hand connected with Alya's small face. The dark-skinned toddler froze, before her face crumpled and she started screaming as well. Chloe was saved from further humiliation by Ms. Bustier shooting towards her.

"I leave you and Lila alone with them for five minutes and I come back to Max destroying my computer and those two missing!"

Before Chloe could respond, the two toddlers were taken from her and both opted to cling to the teacher like a koala.

Chloe kept quiet, as Ms. Bustier lead her back to the classroom, as soon as they entered the door, Lila rushed towards them holding a crying Marinette at arm's length.
