Swapped- A Miraculous Ladybug AU✏

Chapter 1

Swinging through the streets and jumping around on top of buildings, Ladybeetle and Chat Noir chase after their latest villain, Note Aigre.

"Ladybeetle! Chat Noir! Give me your miraculouses!"

"Never!"

"No way! Ladybeetle, use your lucky charm!" Chat Noir yelled, as she tried to use her cataclysm on the akumatized object. She misses the clarinet where the akuma was hiding, and instead hits a random rooftop chimney. "Lucky Charm!" Ladybeetle shouts, throwing his yo-yo in the air, pink and red sparks flying out. Once all the sparks and glimmers disappear, a music sheet, titled, Flight of the bumblebee, falls into his spandex covered hands.

"Sheet music? What am I supposed to do with this?" He asked himself, looking around for anything that might be of use to him. The only things that lights up with the red and black spots is the pile of broken bricks, sheet music, and the villain, Note Aigre. Suddenly, an idea pops into his head.

"Hey, Note Aigre! I bet you can't play this song perfectly like all the other professionals!" He challenges. "I'll even set up a music stand for you."

"Ok! I bet I'll be the best though!"

True to his word, Ladybeetle make a makeshift music stand from the chimney bricks that Chat had destroyed. Note Aigre started playing and while he was distracted, he snatched the clarinet from his hands.

"Nooo! You fool! Give me that! I wasnt done playing!"

“Too bad, so sad.” Ladybeetle teased, and snapped the clarinet in half over his knee.

A black and purple butterfly flew out, and before it could disappear from view completely, ladybeetle quickly captured it and set it free. But instead of the evil purple and black butterfly, a beautiful white one came out.

Ladybeetle POV

Shouting a, "Pound it!" And fist bumping, Chat and I looked over to the now regular looking teenage civilian, who was standing on the roof, looking confused. I recognized him as a student at my school, Collège Françoise Dupont, Dylan Glass. I remember hearing that he practiced all year for district tryouts, and didn't make it.

I walked over, and put a comforting hand on his shoulder and said, "Hey, Dylan, right? Just because you didn't make it this year, you shouldn't get so worked up. Keep practicing and I'm sure they'll give you first chair next year."

He nodded and climbed down the ladder escape on the side of the building.

"Aww~! Bugaboo, what you said to him was so sweet! But not as sweet as you my lord!" (Get it, because Chat as Adrien called ladybug my lady, so as opposite it would be my lord instead) My feline partner said.

I think that she might have a thing for me, because she keeps flirting with me and calling me my lord and bugaboo. I don't like her like that, but more as my best friend. Instead, I'm in love with a girl in my class, the nicest and prettiest girl I've ever met. No wonder she's a model. Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Daughter of Tom Dupain, famous fashion designer.

I have to admit, I didn't like her at first, when I thought she had put gum on my seat with her friend Chloé Bourgeois. Chloé's the biggest bully in the whole of school, maybe even Paris itself. She's mostly the reason Chat and I have to fight akumas. What really bothers me though, is that she just loves my alter ego, Ladybeetle. Everytime we have to rescue her from some villian she caused, she attacks me with hugs and selfies, none of which I actually smile in. But, when Marinette showed me her true colors, telling me at the end of school that she didn't do it, it sent butterflies to my stomach and a blush across my face.

 Flashback

It was the end of the day, I had just gotten out of school with all the other students. As I walk to the school exit, I notice that it's raining. Aghhh, I thought, Now I'm going to get soaked walking back home. As I was thinking of all the possible ways I could get home without getting wet, Marinette walks and stands beside me. "Hi." She says, trying to start a conversation. I simply let out a "Hmpf." and turn my head away.

"Look Adrien, I didn't put that gum on your seat, I swear." She tries again. 

"Sure you didn't. That's why you were standing right at my seat, with gum in your hand."

"That's because I was trying to take it off! Chloé put it on your seat and I thought that was rude!" She argued. But when she speaks again, her voice and face sounded and looked softer. "Adrien, this is my first day at a public school. I don't really know school culture, but I do know what Chloé did was not okay. I apologize for her, I've never seen her like that. Anyways, I see that you don't have an umbrella, so you can take mine."

She holds out her hand and I hesitantly take it from her. I hold the black umbrella over my head, and it closes over my head. She giggles, and I swear, that it's the most angelic sound I've ever heard. I chuckle along, and it continues for a minute or two until we stop because we're out of breath.

A car horn beeps infront of us, and we both look at it. Marinette sighs, rolls her eyes, and looks back at me. "Well, my ride is here, gotta go. See you around Adrien."

"Y-yeah, see y-you t-t-tomorrow." I stutter out. "Whoa, why am I stuttering?" I ask no one in particular, as she walks down the stairs and into the car, which drives off as soon as she gets in and closes the door.

Tikki, my kwami, pops her head out of my white over shirt, and says, "I think I might have an idea!" While nuzzling my cheek. "Tikki!" I say while blushing madly, probably redder than my suit. "Well, now that we have shelter from the rain, lets head home. Mom and Dad will probably be wonding where I am."

End Flashback

I later concluded that I in fact was in love with Marinette. But it wasn't because she was a model and gorgeous. Though, that is a bonus. No, I fell in love with her because she's so nice, caring, friendly, and I could go on and on about her. I'm so in love with her that I have a copy of her schedule in my room, thanks to Alya. Man, I had to give her a lot of cookies and sweets from my parents bakery for that schedule.

“Oh, um, thanks Chat. I gotta go, I only have two spots left.”

With that I jumped into a random ally and detransformed and started my walk home. I walked into the bakery, into our apartment, and up the stairs into my green and black themed room.(They're his favorite colors, yeah. let's go with that😂) But what I saw was something that shocked me to the core.

I saw Chat Noir, my partner and best friend, sitting on my chaise, holding her head in her hands and crying.

——————————————————

What happened to Chat? Why is she crying? Why is she in Adrien's room? Why does Alya like sweets so much?

Time will tell
Adios!
