I Am Strong

I'm sorry

Marinette didn't go to school, she told her parents that she was too stressed, which was very true. They allowed it since it was Friday.

"Maman, I'm going out on a walk, I'll be back in an hour or so." Marinette said, going to the door.

"Ok dear, be safe." Sabine smiled to her daughter. 

 Marinette walked down a block before she hid to transform. She then swung up onto the roof of the nearest building. She continued to run until she couldn't run anymore. She ended up on the roof of the Agreste Mansion. She yelled out of frustration.

"My Lady?"

"Why aren't you at school?"

"Same as you. Why'd you come here of all places?"

"The grin you were wearing last night showed no sign of stress, you're lying. I'm not sure myself, as to why I'm here I mean."

"Ok, fine. Because you weren't there..." At that Ladybug turned to face Chat.

"So I don't matter or even exist until you find out I'm Ladybug?! You would pass me through the hall completely ignoring me but as soon as you find out I'm Ladybug you ditch for me?! You love the mask...not me."

Chat was surprised by this sudden outburst. He then glared at her.

"Well I'm sorry it's a bit hard to talk to someone who stutters and mixes up her words around you and you only! I wanted to talk to you, really I did! But I thought I scared you or something, you always would be kind and comfortable around everyone in class! But as soon as I started talking to you, you would get all nervous! I figured you were scared of me, or I did something wrong!" His voice faltered at the last sentence.

"Wow, you really are oblivious, aren't you?"

"I guess so."

"Well, I'm going to go, I don't even know why I came here, I was just...trying to get away I guess and went on autopilot."

"Why would autopilot lead you here?" Chat asked with a smirk. Ladybug rolled her eyes.

"Well, when I'm thinking about a situation, my body goes to a relevant place or person to said situation. I'm gonna go before I yell some more now." With that she through her yo-yo and before she could jump off she was stopped by a hand.

"What now?" She asked frustrated.

"Was that part about designing a dress true?" Chat asked curiously.

"Sort of."

"Is it elegant?"

"Yes, why?"

"My father is throwing a party...more like a ball. I want you to come."

"When is it? Why should I go, and what's the catch?" Ladybug questioned furiously.

"It's in two weeks. You should go because my father is a famous designer and could help your career as a designer. The catch is you'll actually have to talk to me, and act buddy buddy with me in order for a good impression...that is if we aren't friends by then." Chat replied coolly

"Ugh, I'll think about it, no promises ok?"

"Ok." With that Chat smirked and let Ladybug go. She soared through the sky leaving Chat Once again to his own devices.

Ladybug went to the park and sat on a bench. She put her feet up and drifted off to sleep.

Ladybug woke up with a start, first seeing Alya before bumping her forehead with her own causing Alya to back up. Then she proceeded to look at her hands to assure she was still Ladybug.
