Marinette In Wonderland

Confessions

(Marinette's POV)

Nino lead me and Chat to separate rooms. He gave me some clothes to change into for after I drink the potion. (In this you grow and shrink by two different potions). So I set the clothes down and look at the bitter liquid in the bottle.

I sigh. "I drank it before, I can do it now," I say as I tip the bottle towards my lips.

What I didn't expect was it to be so sweet. As in, still making me want to gag compared to the bitter potion that made me shrink. 'They are supposed to do opposite things to you. Guess that's why they taste the complete opposite. Though they both make me want to gag because they're tastes are so strong,' I think.

I then feel myself starting to grow to my full size. I look at the clothes that I'm supposed to change into. "I'm going to have to make some changes to these," I say.

As I put them on, I look in the mirror in the room and crinkle my nose. The sleeves of the dress he gave me starting from the shoulder to my wrist progressively get wider. The same thing happens with the top of the dress to the bottom, and with no waistline, it just looks bad.

I peek outside of the room. "Nino," I whisper.

He turns the corner. "Yes? What do you need?"

"Um, do you have a needle, thread, and possibly some ribbon, or buttons. Oh! And scissors. I definitely need scissors. Just, I don't care what you bring me. Anything that I can change a bit of the design of this dress, but I do need scissors, a needle, and thread."

He nods. "Okay. I'll see what I can do," he says.

I hear a door open to my left, and I look to see Chat. He's still wearing a black mask, and all black clothes, but it's not his suit. But his belt tail and cat ears are still there with the mask.

He turns to look at me. He gives me a quizzical look. "What are you doing? Why are you not coming out of there?"

"The dress I'm wearing is awful. So I asked Nino to bring me a needle, thread, scissors, and something else I can use to change the design of this dress. Fabric, ribbon, buttons, I don't care. It's awful. The color isn't. It's a nice blue."

"Is it light blue? Like your eyes?" He asks.

"Um, yes, actually," I say.

He smiles. "Good. It's a nice color on you."

I smile back, my face getting warm. "U-um, thank you."

As I say that, Nino comes down the hall with just what I need. "Here you go Marinette."

"Thank you!" I say cheerfully as I go back into the room shutting the door behind me.

"Okay, now to do something about this awful dress I say taking it off and looking at it. "Well, at least I'm still in my underdress," I say happily.

Tikki comes out again. "What kind of changes are you going to do?" She asks sitting on my shoulder.

"Oh, you'll see," I say then take the needle and thread and start sewing a seam on the dress so it's less awkward looking. I then grab grey ribbon and make a belt that I sew into the dress around the seam so the dress has more color.

After, I grab the scissors and cut the sleeves off at their seams, and grab some soft grey fabric. I cut it and start to sew the fabric into sleeves before sewing them into the dress. The sleeves end up being elbow length.

Lastly, I grab some red buttons and sew them all around the belt. I then sew some around the collar and ends of the dress before sewing some into the ends of the sleeves.

I stand up and smile at my changes before putting the dress on. I then grab the grey flats Nino gave me and put them on.

"Wow Marinette! You did a great job with little resources," Tikki says giving me a huge smile.

"Thanks Tikki. I like how it turned out too."

I smile walking out of the room seeing Chat and Nino. "Do you guys like it. I made the dresses seam around the waist, the belt, the sleeves, and sewed the buttons into it," I say as they look to me.

Nino smiles and nods saying it looks nice. Chat on the other hand seems to not be able to get a word out to me. He blushes and looks away. "It looks good," and then he mutters something at the end.

"What was the last part," I ask. I tilt my head to the side curiously.

He turns to me just to turn away and head down the hall. "Let's go! We have to save the world."

I sigh. "Okay," I say as we head out of the house. We start walking along the path again.

"Chat, did your feelings for me change at all when you found out I was Marinette?" I ask.

"If you mean change by making me probably fall in love with you even more, then yes. Though, I knew you first as Marinette of course," he says taking us towards a clearing. "But it was different for me than it was for your Chat. You had already met your Chat Noir when you were chosen to be Ladybug. When you were chosen, you were among a few people, but you were the only one with the strongest will to come here. So you did for a brief time. That's when we met, and I fell in love with you. Finding out you were going to be the next Ladybug made me really happy. Not only that, but having a lot of the Chat Noir's feelings from your world means I know how he'll react. He does like you a bit, and is in love with Ladybug, so he'll be happy it's you. I promise," he says. But I can hear something in his voice that he's hiding.

We walk into the clearing and he stops, turning to me. "I promised you I would never say goodbye, and your Chat probably will do the same if he knew. Or at least he will as Chat. But, I'm jealous. Here, you're going to save this place, become stronger, but then you're going to leave. I wasn't lying when I said I would never leave you. But that's if you'll always remember me, and keep me in your heart. Yet, you're still going to go back to being with your world's Chat Noir. I realize I'm similar to him. Especially in the way of being in love with you. But I'm still my own person, and I selfishly want you all for myself. But I can't have you. You do not belong to this world."

I stare wide eyed at him. "C-chat... I didn't know. And, now that I know you. The you that is mostly like Chat, but with your secret identity mixed in," I stop. 'I've started to fall in love with you. So I definitely can't forget you. And I will miss you. So very much,' I think. "I do like you, but I can't determine how much and in what way," I lie. "But this is here and now. We are together, and we need to save the people of this world. That way you will be safe," I say walking up to him. I put my hand on his cheek. "Okay?"

He nods giving me a sad smile. "Yeah..."
