The Mark

~The Final Answer~

Alya's POV

I watched as Marinette came to her seat after the bell. I sighed as she sat in her seat.

"What's the excuse this time?" I asked.

"I...uh...Well...I had to...do something," Marinette replied.

"I'm guessing it's about Ladybug," I said.

"Yep," she answered.

"Another akuma attack?" I asked.

"Uh-huh," Marinette replied.

"Thought so," I said.

"Now do you see why I oversleep?" Marinette asked.

"Yeah," I answered. Then there was a loud boom.

"Speaking of akuma attacks... Ms. Bostier, can I please go to the restroom?" Marinette asked.

"Yes," she replied. I watched as Marinette walked out of the classroom.

"May I go too?" Adrien asked.

"You may," Ms. Bostier replied. He quickly left the classroom.

Marinette's POV

I started down the hall and heard the door open and shut again. I looked behind me and saw Adrien. He was walking in the same direction as me.

I went into the girls' bathroom and made sure no one was around. I opened my purse and Tikki emerged.

"It's time to transform! Tikki, spots on!" I chanted as I transformed into my alter ego. I ran out of the bathroom. I saw Chat Noir running down the hall. Wait. He goes to my school? "Chat?!" He stopped and turned around.

"Ladybug?!" he exclaimed.

"You go to my school?" we both asked. "Yeah." We both burst out laughing.

"So... I never got an answer..." Chat Noir said. I remembered. I had finally made my decision, but we had to take care of the akuma first. I was also nervous.

"We need to stop the akuma," I said trying to avoid the question.

"Yeah, you're right, but still..." Chat Noir said.

"We'll talk later. We have to take care of this first. We have to save Paris," I explained.

"Oh, alright... We can save Purris furst," Chat Noir said.

"Could you please stop with the puns already?" I asked jokingly.

"Fine, let's go defeat our mewest opponent," Chat Noir said.

"You will never stop using puns, will you?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Nope, nefur," Chat Noir replied.

"Let's go take care if the villain," I said. And with that, we ran to the scene of the villain.

This was unlike any villain we had ever fought before. And Chat Noir bursted into laughter. I cracked a smile. The villain was Nyan Cat. She was turning everyone into a poptart.

"What in the world?" I asked.

"Wow... That is furnny..." Chat Noir stated. I agreed with him... Well, except for the pun. "Where do mew think the akuma is?" He earned an eye roll from me.

"Oh my goodness... More puns? In her... necklace. I don't remember Nyan Cat ever wearing a necklace, but it sure makes it a lot easier," I replied.

"Yes...and got it!" Chat Noir said. At first I was confused why he said yes. Then I remembered that I asked 'More puns?' He actually answered me... Wow...

Chat Noir ran to the villain. "Cataclysm!" He used his Cataclysm to try and destroy the necklace, but Nyan Cat dodged it and he ended up destroying a tree.

"Lucky Charm!" I chanted as I threw my yo-yo into the air. A laser pointer landed in my hand. "A laser pointer? What am I supposed to do with this? Think, Ladybug!" I looked around and the laser pointer, the ground, and Nyan Cat glowed red. I knew what to do.

I ran towards the akuma and turned on the laser pointer. Nyan Cat began chasing the red dot immediately after she spotted it.

When she got close enough, I snatched the necklace and broke it. The akuma flew out and I opened up my yo-yo and swung it around.

"No more evil-doing for you little akuma. Time to de-evilise! Gotcha!" I said as I captured the it. I opened my yo-yo and the now white and purified butterfly flew away. "Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" I threw the laser pointer into the air and pink energy changed everything back to normal.

"I am purreased to have beat another akuma," Chat Noir said. I rolled my eyes at his pun, though I was starting to get used to them. Both of our Miraculouses beeped.

"We have to go!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah..." Chat Noir agreed.

"Oh...and yes! Bug out!" I said and then I swung back to school.

I ran to the girls' bathroom and made sure that no one was able to see me.

"Tikki, spots off," I chanted. I detransformed and Tikki flew out of my earring and landed in my hand.

"You answered Chat Noir's question! I knew you could do it!" Tikki exclaimed.

"Yeah, I guess I did. Looks like I'm Chat's girlfriend now. Hopefully I won't stutter around Adrien anymore," I said.

"You need to get back to class," Tikki reminded me.

"Oh, yeah! Thanks, Tikki" I thanked her. "What would I do without you?"

"Well, you wouldn't be Ladybug," she replied.

"Yeah, but you know what I mean," I said. Tikki giggled.

I ran back to class and sat in my seat. The teacher didn't seem to notice as her back was to me.

Chat Noir's POV

I extended my staff and made my way to the school. I saw Ladybug jump inside. She ran down the hall and soon, I could no longer see her.

I jumped inside the school and ran down the hall and into the boys' bathroom. I made sure that no one was around to see me detransform.

"Plagg, claws out," I chanted. I detransformed and Plagg flew out of my ring and landed in my hands.

"Do you realize that you just got your answer?" he asked. I became confused.

"What?" I asked. "To what question?"

"Oh, you know what question," Plagg replied.

"No, actually, I don't," I countered.

"Yes, actually, you do," Plagg said. I tried to think of any question that I didn't get the answer to.

"Was it when I asked Ladybug 'Will you be my girlfriend?'" I asked.

"Well, duh!" Plagg replied like it was obvious. Then it dawned on me. Ladybug...said...yes...
