The Cat and The Bug

6

Marinette's POV

Marinette's alarm went off. Monday. She hated Mondays.  

she sat up in bed, and the tiny cat was still asleep on her pillow.

"Plagg, get up you lazy cat."

"No. I only do things for myself." the half-sleep cat replied.

"How about for 2 Camembert?"

"I'm up and atom!"

Mari laghed and tossed him the cheese. She just discovered his love of cheese yesterday. She also learned to always keep it on her.

A cat that loves cheese. ridiculous. she thought as she got out of bed. 

a ladybug flew in and landed on her shirt, trying to pollenate the flower that was on it. It reminded her of her ladybug. her partner. no, she wasn't drowning in love, she didn't really have time for boys like that. She still couldn't get her mind off the ladybug suit. but the more she thought about it, the more attractive it became.

No. You don't have time for boys like that. especially if he's your partner, she thought. She did her morning routine, and grabbed her jacket and purse. She was actually on time. for once.

Nice Mari, She thought to herself.  you're early!  

she went down stairs with Plagg in her jacket. 

"Hey mom! Hey Papa!"

"Hello sweetie!" the couple said in unison.

She got out her usual breakfast of cereal in chocolate milk.

She had ten minutes to spare. She grabbed a croissant to eat on the way.

She was one step out the door about to bite into her warm croissant-

"Speaking of food," Plagg said startling Mari. she totally forgot he was in her Jacket. 

"can you grab me camembert?" 

"Plagg, were all out," Mari replied obviously not wanting to deal with the cat's stomach.

"Don't lie to me Marinette."

"I'm not! promise!" It was the truth. Plagg's hunger had taken all the camembert the store.

"then run to the store. I bet 1 million camemberts  that they have some."

"But then i'll be late!"

"but then i'll be hungry and you can't transform!" Plagg said, mocking Mari's whiney voice.

"Fine, You stubborn cat."

Plagg smiled smugly as Mari ran the two blocks to the grocery store.

when she ran out she had:

1. 40 containers of camembert

2. A happy and satisfied Plagg

3. a receipt that stated clearly camembert is not cheep.

Thirty dollars for camembert! the girl thought as she ran the two blocks to the bakery.

Her mom was standing at the cashier. 

"Mari-" Mrs. Cheng started.

"Delivery of camembert!"

she set the bag containing the cheese on the counter and ran out the door and into school.

"Marinette Dupain- Cheng! 15 minutes late? that's later than usual. this is unacceptable." Ms. Bustier said when Marinette walked threw the class room door.

"Sorry miss."

 she turned around and saw him. his golden- blonde hair. his emerald green eyes. she felt deja vu. where has she seen those eyes? of course! Ladybug! but in civilian form? could it be? and why was he in her class? she had never seen him before. she sat next to Alya and whispered,

"who's that kid?"

"i'd expect YOU out of all people to know him!" Alya yell-whispered back.

"huh?"

"Let me give you a clue."

Alya pulled up on her phone pictures of Gabriel's fashion magazines.

"So? it's Gabriel's magazine."

"but the boy modeling his fashion..."

Mari gasped, but not to loudly, as she realized who the boy was. Adrien Agreste! Alya nodded as the lesson continued.

Scene change - Free period

Mari waddled over to Adrien to see if he really was the son of her fav fashion designer.

she boldly tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around.

"Hey, aren't  you Gabriel' son?" 

"yeah,"  he replied. "but pease don't fangirl over me. I have enough people doing it."

he rolled his eyes and looked at Chloe.

Adrien laughed. so did she.

Mari liked him. in fact, she spent the whole day hanging out with him, Alya and his new friend named Nino.

Scene change- Mari's room

"Plaggggggg" Mari dragged out her words dramatically. she was doing homework but couldn't focus.

"Yea, Mari?" the little cat replied, eating his cheese.

"I thinkkk... I think I'm in loveeeee"

"with who, that Blonde haired boy?"

"yeaaaaa."

"the one who you say is ladybug?"

Mari looked up from her homework. 

"Well, now that I know him, I'm 100% sure he's not. Adrien's sweet, kind, Generous... And Ladybug is... well... Ladybug! the two don't mix."

Plagg rolled his eyes. he sensed Tikki's presence in Adrien's jacket. he knew the truth. 

"whatever you say, kid."
