It's funny what a few hundred dollars could do. It's funny what money can make people do. But in order for this plan to work, he needs someone to be upset. He needs Chat Noir. And he needs him right now. Not tomorrow, not next week, now. And he has to make him appear somehow right? The shortest way, get him fired.
He walked in, his notebook filled with different ideas. Today is going to be a good day, he has the most spectacular ideas. He'll work on them all day today, and tomorrow. Until they're finished. Theo walked into his workshop about to start working on his next project. But a letter catches his attention. He slowly picks it up, studies it. It's from the mayor. Maybe he wants him to do another sculpture? The last one he did for the mayor was the Ladybug and Chat Noir one. He still carries the Ladybug picture in his pocket, he still cares for her.
He opens up the letter, and it isn't at all what he expects. He's fired, they won't pay for his materials anymore and he's getting evicted from the building, his workshop. Where is he supposed to work at? How will he get his things to make art? Making art is his life? What is he supposed to do without that? He stares blankly at the letter, feeling his heart slowly sink. This can't possibly be happening. He drops the letter on the ground, he pulls out his sketchbook and goes over his ideas. They were going to be beautiful, he couldn't wait to start. Now they'll never happen, they won't ever see the light day. It isn't fair! He goes to the back of his book, other ideas, they're all of Ladybug. He had hopped the mayor would call him and ask him to do another. Now that won't ever happen either. He will never talk to her again, he won't ever get the chance.
The window open, and hawk Moth smiles. The plan is going perfectly, the perfect reaction. Now he just needs to send the akuma. The butterflies in his hands as he turns it purple. He sends the akuma on it's way. Now for step two, step three will be a bit more fun. He smiles as he watches it flaps it wings to their victim.
He pulls out the picture, and looks at her smiling face. It always makes him feel better. But this time is doesn't, he still feels empty. They're taking away his life. The akuma comes and lands on his picture. Infecting it once again. The Hawk Moth wings appear. "Hello again, Copycat." He said smiling. "Welcome back, i see you still care for Ladybug." Hawk Moth said. "Of course i do." Theo replied. "How about we make a deal? I'll give you an even better job, I'll make you Chat Noir, the hero of Paris! You could be Ladybug's favorite person. All you have to do is gain her trust." Theo smiled evilly. "Yes Hawk Moth." As the words left his lips a black cat suit begins to appear.
Marinette stands on her balcony looking up at the clouds. A part of her wants to go rushing to find her partner, the other part wants to try and sleep and wake up from this bad dream. "He'll come eventually, just give him time." Tikki said smiling. Marinette smiled back. It hurts to just sit there doing nothing. "Maybe you could hang out with Alya? Get your mind off it for a while. Or better yet, go on a date with Adriene!" Marinette smiled once again, this time her eyes didn't reach. Normally she would love to go spend time with Adrien, but she can't forget, she can't forget that her partner is missing. "I can't Tikki, i need to be able to transform if Chat does show up." Tikki sighed. "Marinette, waiting and worrying won't bring him back sooner."
She knows Tikki is right, but she can't go have fun. She needs to be ready if he does show up. Even Adrien wouldn't be able to patch up the empty and scared feeling in her chest. Just Chat Noir, and no one else. "I know, but i can't help it. I'm really worried Tikki." Marinette said again looking over at the roof. At the moment, she could have sworn she saw something black jump off a building a bit further down. "Did you see that?" Marinette said looking back at Tikki. Tikki looked over at the building. "Saw what?" Marinette turned back. Could it be? Could it really be Chat Noir? Her chest ached to know, the excitement was raising instantly. She didn't even give Tikki a warning. "Tikki! Spots on!"
Ladybug swung her yoyo quickly. She ran as fast as could over where she saw thought she might have seen Chat Noir. But when she got there, there was nothing. Disappointing filled her enter body. Of course it wasn't him, she was just desperate for it to be him. She felt like crying again, this is becoming too much to handle. She pulled out her yoyo, about to try and call once again, but before she could. "Hello Ladybug." Her head turned so fast as her eyes landed on her partner. Her smile grew instantly as she ran up to him throwing her arms around his neck. He's here, and he's ok! She never wants to let go, she was so worried and now he's here. He quickly wraps his arms around her.
Ladybug is now his, she's in his arms, hugging him. He shuts his eyes enjoying this moment, never wanting it to end. It feels so great to have her with him. She pulled away and quickly hit his arm with very much force. "Ouch!" He said rubbing his arm. "What was that for?" He asked. She crossed her arms as the anger appeared on her face. "Where have you been?! I was so worried!" She said outraged. She's glad to have him back, now she wants to know where he's been. "My family went out of town for a few days, i would have came to your side if i could.I'm sorry." He said, he sounds genuine. She sighed smiling, she hugs him again. She never ever wants to lose him. She didn't know how much she cared for him until he was gone. And she never wants to feel that way again. Just imagine if Adrien disappeared? She'd probably die right there.
He pulled away a tiny a bit, so he could look into her blue eyes. She looked in his green eyes, a great urge to lean up and kiss him came over her. She quickly pulled away because it looked as if he was going to. Her cheek were red as a tomato. She's just overwhelmed with emotion, she's completely in love wit Adrien, why on earth would she want to kiss Chat Noir? She tried shoving the butterfly feelings in her stomach away.
"I'm glad you're okay." She said smiling again at him. "I'm glad you care so much." she feels like moving toward him again, feeling his warmth. She shoved the thought in the back of her head and rolled her eyes. "You're my partner, i need my partner to help me" She said coldly. She didn't mean to come off rude but with her stupid emotions all over the place, being cold is the only way to stop the warmth in her cheeks. "Do you want to go on a patrol? We could catch up." She suggested, she should probably go home and try and calm down her feelings but she doesn't want to leave him just yet. She doesn't want him to disappear again. He smiled brightly and nodded.
Adrien stared at his phone. He was looking at Marinette's contact. A part of him wants to call her, but the other part knows it's a terrible idea. The last time they really talked was at the park, and his feelings were all mixed. But he can't avoid her forever right? Plus everything might be back to normal, he has been hanging out with Ladybug again. He sighs then clicks the call the button. She doesn't answer, maybe she's busy. Or maybe she felt weird that night too and is trying to avoid him? Maybe, or maybe she's just busy. He can't get paranoid. He walks outside, maybe he'll go over and visit her really fast. Make sure they're ok. He doesn't want their relationship to be weird after all. She's a great friend. He doesn't want to lose that.
He walked outside, a part of him hoped it would be too cold or hot. Or something to be off, to say there was an akuma. Then he could talk to Ladybug, tell her who he is, or who he was. But everything seems normal, he guesses talking to Marinette would be better right now anyway. He starts walking to her house, trying to think of what to tell her. For some reasons he's nervous, he's talked to Marinette millions of times. Why is he nervous now? That's when he sees it. Something that stops him in his tracks and breaks his entire thoughts. Ladybug, walking on a roof with none other than Chat Noir...
