Ladybug, You're On Live: A Miraculous AU (COMPLETED)

Chapter 4: Assembly

Today I woke up on time, thank goodness, so I could prepare for my 'public appearance'.

I had to think of something for my dilemma of being at two places at once. My best option would have to be to fake use the bathroom.

I skipped to my closet so I could find my Ladybug outfit to pack with my things. Skirt, check. Shirt, check. Combat boots, check. Mask, double check.

I stuffed it into a gym bag I found in the back of the closet. It is crazy what you can find in the back of your closet. One time, I found my missing hamster hidden under all my clothes. Poor Philepè.

After rummaging through piles upon piles of clothes in the back, I finally found my lucky charm, a bracelet. Today, I am going to need all the luck I could possibly get.

I got dressed and went out on the journey to school. My phone buzzed and a notification went off.

Tikki: hey! U nervous?
Marinette: r u kidding?!?! I feel like barfing!
Tikki: tmi
Marinette: sorry. What do I even tlk about when I'm up there???
Tikki: about ur channel and how u would luv to hav more listeners stuff like that
Marinette: oh
Tikki: LOOK OUT FOR THE CAR!!!!!!

Confused, I looked up and saw a car whizz by me. Suddenly, my heart went two thousand times more fast than it should.

Marinette: thank u! Wait, r u watching me????
Tikki: ya, I am ur assistant so I have to go to the meeting with u
Marinette: thank goodness, I need someone to support me

I put my phone away and looked around and looked for my red haired friend. Eventually my eyes landed on her and she obviously noticed because she waved.

I caught up with her and we walked to my school together.

"Tikki, can you cover for me when I go disappear to get into erm, costume?"

"Of course! That's why I am here small-fry!" The moment she said that, I thought of them. Nobody would call me that except for them. (A/N try to guess who it is, whoever guesses the name and relation to Marinette, gets a chapter dedication)

I shook the thought out of my head, smiled, and continued the conversation.

"What do I really talk about anyway?"

"Erm, well, you can talk about your new station, Miraculous," she said it in a really goofy way while wiggling like a worm, "and how you would love to have more followers. Then you can have them ask questions."

"Cool! Anyway, I have a plan to get me out. It is a bit different from my original plan but this one is better."

I whispered into her ear the plan and when I was done, she pulled back, smirking.

"Mari, I never knew you were a schemer! This plan is brilliant!"

"What plan is brilliant? Mari, who is this?" I whipped my head around to see we were in front of the school, by a confused Alya.

"Oh! Alya! Um, this is my erm, cousin! Yes! She is my second cousin two times removed." I tuned to Tikki and she was giving me an 'are you kidding me' look.

"Oh, cool. What side?"

"Dad's! I am on her dad's side. My name is Tikki. And you are?"

"I am Alya, Marinette's best friend."

They stood there and stared at each other for a while until they broke into a fit of laughter while I was sitting there, lame as a duck. A phrase here which means 'sitting there stupidly, with a stupid face'.
