A/N
I think I'm gonna start doing both Marinette and Adrien points of view, tell me what you think of it. Thanks for being so patient considering I've been unactive for a really long time. Enjoy.

Mari's POV

I woke up this morning and sighed at the thought of my date with Adrien, sure I liked him and he was definitely fun to look at but he didn't feel the same about me. I prefer a more real type of relationship, and this was not what I was looking for.

Adrien's POV

I was kind of excited for my date with Marinette. Don't misunderstand me, Chloe did set this up to humiliate Marinette, but I gotta say over the summer she got hot and I can't help but notice how kind she is to everyone. W-wait what am I thinking, I can't like her, I've never had real feelings for anyone since...well that's beside the point. I can't like Marinette, I just can't. A sudden noise coming from my pillow dragged me put of my thoughts.
"Kid hurry up you're going to be late for school" yelled my kwami Plagg
"Since when did you want to go to school?"
"Since never, but you need to confirm your plans with Marinette for your date later. I really like that girl, why don't you date her for real and drop that witch Chloe? I can picture the two of you together, hmm maybe a name like.... Adrinette?!"
"Plagg you are insane Adrinette?" I kinda like it tho. What am I thinking ugh I can't get her out of my head. Plagg once again penetrated my thoughts
"You like it don't you."
"N-no, let's get to school."
"Sure kid, whatever you say."

Mari's POV

I got ready for school in quite a rush not seeing the time. I don't know what I ended up wearing, I hope it matches, I better not make a complete fool out of myself, if my social life is ending today I can at least look good for it. Oh well, my life is over, I will never make any friends and Adrien will hate me even more. As I walked into school I went straight to the bathroom to see if my outfit has granted me social suicide. Oh my god! My outfit is poppin, not to brag but I look great, better than Chole ever does! I somehow picked out my newest best design, it is a light pink dress fading into white at the bottom, my shoes are some white flats and my hair is just plain down, but I'm really proud of how this outfit looks.
"Marinette, you loo fabulous, but you can't be late to anymore classes." Squeaked Tikki.
"You're right, better get going."
When I got into class everyone was staring at me, I'm not oblivious I realize I've never worn anything like this before but having everyone look at me was kind of uncomfortable.
Nino finally got here, late as usual. He slid into the seat by me.
"Hey Mari, new design? I like it. Is it for your date?"
"Thanks it is new. But I'm not wearing it for Adrien, I'm wearing it because I was running late and grabbed the first thing in my closet."
"Well it looks good on you, Adrien sure thinks so. ISN'T THAT RIGHT ADRIEN!"
"NINO! Shut up!"
"Well Mari, as your friend I can't let creeps stare at you. Yeah you to NATHANIEL."
"You know this protective older brother thing doesn't suit you."
"Alright I'm done now."
"Thanks now if you don't mind class is starting and I'd like to learn."
"Sure you do, we'll talk later."

Adrien POV

When I got to school I wasn't really paying much attention to my surroundings until Marinette walked in wearing a gorgeous dress that brought out all of her features, she is beautiful. I was staring, she probably noticed by now, but she's to nice to call me out. Nino on the other hand was not, I found that out after he yelled over to me and Nathaniel.
I was getting lost in my thoughts and found myself staring again. Class finally ended and I can go to Marinette and talk to her about our date.
"Marinette! Hey! So...our date later?"
"Right where are we going?"
"Well I was thinking we stop at that café up the road and them we can catch a movie."
"Okay sounds fun."
"....."
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Wha-what? Oh sorry I'll see you after school."
Ugh I was staring at her again. And she definitely noticed this time.
"Yeah...see ya."

Mari's POV

Adrien was acting really weird when he was talking to me, you'd think he would've been able to keep is cool, being a model and all. I'm sure he was been near pretty girls in dresses just like mine.
"Okay Mari, gotta get to class see ya later."
"See ya later Nino."
The rest of my day went pretty fast and before I knew it, it was the end of the day. Time for my date.
Adrien never told me where to meet so I just went out to the courtyard to wait for him. I waited a few minutes and finally he came outside and met up with me.
"Are you trying to escape before we go on out date?" Adrien asked in a tone that made me blush like crazy.
"No silly just waiting for you."
"Why thank you, better get going before the café gets too busy."
"Alright let's go!
I was nervous before, but now I'm really having fun walking and talking with Adrien. Once we got to the café we sat down and ordered, Adrien got vanilla ice coffee and I got hot hazelnut coffee (so good). We were talking and having so much fun when the news came on and showed an akuma attack. How am I supposed to save Paris AND be with Adrien.
"Marinette do you mind if I use the bathroom real quick?"
"Not at all." Thank god

Adrien's POV

Thank god she doesn't mind, I have to transform before that akuma causes too much damage. I got to the bathroom and turned to Plagg.
"Plagg claws out"
*beautiful trasformation*
I ran out of the bathroom, I saw Marinette I needed to get her to safety.
"Marinette you need to get out of here, there's an akuma!"
"What about my friend Adrien, he's still in the bathroom"
"Umm I'll come back for Adrien what's important is that we got you to safety."
"Okay Chat let's hurry."
I hurried and took Marinette back to her house and went to fight the akuma. I hope Ladybug is already there.

Mari's POV

"Could he have taken any longer talking me home?"
"No time to talk Marinette time to transform!"
"You're right. Tikki SPOTS ON!"
*does gymnastics and has no backbone*
"Where is that akuma?"
"Right this way M'lady."
"You already found him?"
"Yep. Rather easy akuma if you ask me."
"How far away is the akuma."
"Not far, not far."
After quite a while of walking we went into this dark building and suddenly I was on the ground. What is happening. I'm being tied up.
"CHAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
The lights came back on and I turned to see Chat tied up next to me, wait that can't be he's standing right in front of me.
"Who are you!"
"I am the SHIFTER! I was kicked out if drama club and am unable to create different characters!"
I stared in horror as the Shifter turned into different villans and other fears of mine. They seemed to have the same effect on Chat Noir. The Shifter next turned into a woman, she had silvery hair and green eyes, she was beautiful until she started melting like candle wax and fading away. This had an extreme effect on Chat, he started screaming like he was being electrocuted, yet I had no idea who this woman was or why Chat was screaming about her. Finally Chat had had enough, his struggling was so powerful he broke out of the ropes and grabbed the Shifter who turned into...wait that's me Ladybug. No wait it's Ladybug, but...I'm dead. Chat breaks down crying. This is enough.
"CHAT IT'S NOT REAL"
He sniffled sounding defeated.
"Chat it's just like Volpina it's an illusion, I'm right here." I couldn't take it anymore. "Lucky Charm!" A knife perfect I know just what to do. I cut myself free and ran to Chat.
"I'm right here it's okay."
"L-ladybug?"
"It's me. I'm real."
Chat suddenly grabbed the Shifter ignoring the formations and broke the wristband containing the akuma.
"No more evil doing you little akuma. Bye bye little butterfly. MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!"

Chat's POV

Everything was back to normal. Everything except for me. I was shook, as much as I wanted to, I couldn't go back toy date, not after seeing my partner's lifeless body and seeing someone very dear to me disappear, my mother. Even though Ladybug isn't really dead and it was just an illusion, my mother is really gone and that vision was as real as it gets. I've never loved since my mother left and Marinette is the closest thing to a love that I've gotten.

Mari's POV

*back at the café*
I wonder what happened to Adrien. Maybe he got wrapped up in the fight and had to go home. That akuma was enough to put Chat in tears it could've done the same to him. I guess I see him at school tomorrow.

A/N
