"...it's you." Chat Noir said, changing back. Adrien was star-struck in awe at what he just witnessed.
"It has been YOU all along. Marinette!... you're My Lady." He started to chuckle, but then saw the look on his Lady's face. "Marinette?"
Marinett...
"Wow girl!" Alya exclaimed. "Tikki everything you say is so cool! I wish I can stay longer to hear even more about other Ladybugs!" She wrote more stuff down.
After school Alya headed back home with Marinette and Tikki so they can fully explain Marinette's alter ego.
"You know you can come by whenever!" Marinette said. "And how did Nino take the news when you told him?"
"He said 'I knew it! You said I was wrong all along! And here we are now!' That idiot. Hehe. He was so proud and happy." Alya mimicked his face when he found out.
They laughed. Alya almost fell of her chair.
"Marinette! The dress!!" Tikki reminded her. Alya had to leave to pick up her younger siblings and Marinette almost forgot to show her the gown for the Ball.
"Oh my god! Tikki thanks for reminding me, come Alya" Marinette said, rolling herself in the wheelchair across the room to her desk. She took a paper off of the bulletin board. "I hope you like it."
"You know I will!" Alya said, running over to look at the design. Mari's so talented, it's gonna look awesome! She thought. "Show me' show me! Show me!" Alya squealed.
Alya gasped as she saw the beautiful drawing of a gown. "It's gorgeous, Mari!" She whispered.
The gown is a white Grecian neckline that turned into a orange as it went down the dress. The neckline also had some orangish-gold leaf detail. The bottom half was a orange mermaid figure. There was a bit of orangish-hold leaf detail on the bottom embroidering the dress too. The bottom had a white petticoat underneath the skirt so the contrast would show a tiny bit when Alya twirled. The dress is silk. The dresses design of going from white to a light-medium orange resembled an opposite of Alya's hair ombre.

"I love it. I love it. I love!!" She shouted. She squeezed Marinette in a tight hug.
"Alya," Marinette said "I. Can't...breathe."
"Oh sorry, Mari." Alya said, releasing her. "Got to run! Let me know what happens when you get to Adrien. I need an interview with Ladybug and Chat Noir soon. Bye!"
"Bye Alya!" Marinette and Tikki responded.
Later that evening before bed
"So that's why you think Adrien doesn't love you?" Tikki said. Marinette just explained why she hasn't spoken to Adrien lately.
Marinette nodded. She was in her wheelchair on the room with Tikki. She kept her head down and looked at the carpet. Everything that has been going on, plus her drugs make her extremely emotional. Her eyes were reddish from crying.
"He can't love me. I'm only me." She said.
Tikki flew over to Marinette. "I still think you are wrong, you need to talk to him Marinette! He loves you! Uh..., What about the poem?"
Marinette gasped and lifted her head. The moon illuminating her face. "The poem? The poem. I completely forgot about that....he wrote it for Ladybug."
"But you are Ladybug!" Tikki said.
"Tikki you know my opinion on that. She is different from me." Marinette sadly stated. She looked out the window at the neon light. She needed her mom to help her change because she couldn't stand. She had to sleep on her couch because she couldn't get to her bed. The lights from the streets illuminated the sky and her eyes danced from place to place as she looked at the lights. Marinette saw the butterflies lighting up and flying around the Eiffel Tower. Cars made the streets bright and the city looked beautiful. Her home looked beautiful.
"I'm Marinette." she stated. "I'm not a hero. Ladybug is." sniff! Marinette's eyes were wet again. She rolled her eyes. These drugs sure make me emotional! Mari thought.
"Good night Tikki." Marinette wheeled herself over to the couch.
Tikki was still very worried. She had to get to Plagg and Adrien. Adrien needed to talk to Marinette. History repeats itself, but that can't be the case for Marinette and Adrien. It took a while but Tikki eventually fell asleep....
