Miraculous Tales

It was just another normal day in Paris as people ran around outside screaming for their lives. Ladybug and Chat Noir bolted down the sidewalk avoiding panicking pedestrians.

"There she is!" Ladybug yelled and gestured to up ahead. An akumatized boy who was dressed up in futuristic looking get up held a shiny gun and shot huge lasers. The red lasers disintegrated through anything- glass, metal, people. One touch, and you'd vaporize into thin air.

The akuma saw his opponents running after him and evilly smiled. He raised his weapon and fired. Chat instantly dove over his partner to push her out of harm's way. With a loud smash, they toppled through a thin display glass into a shop.

Ladybug opened her eyes and shook her head. She sat up and found herself into a mess of potted soil and flower petals. After trying to dust loose fertilizer off of her suit, her eyes wandered around the boutique. They left shards of glass everywhere and many broken flower pots were scattered on the floor.

"Chat?" She called. "Are you alright?"

No answer. She pressed her lips into a fine line. Where is he? I hope he's okay... Hysterical laughter snapped her out of her thoughts. It left her puzzled- it was a kind she's never heard before. It sounded maniacal and crazy. Ladybug stood up and followed the sound to behind a stack of shelves that were knocked over.

There, she saw a sight that had her bewildered. Chat Noir was laughing with joy as he laid sprawled out on the floor in a leafy mess. He rolled around in the strange plant while purring uncontrollably.

Ladybug put her hands on her hips. What the heck is going on? What's wrong with him? "Chat Noir, stop this instant!"

He didn't listen and kept relishing the leafy pile. That's when Ladybug bent down to reach for a piece of the strange plant. She eyed it closely until she realized-

Catnip? Oh no...

If it really was catnip, she had to get him somewhere safe fast. There was no way Chat could do combat in that delirious state. She grabbed him around the waist and hoisted him up to his feet, but he couldn't even walk straight. He giggled as she put his arm around her shoulder.

"Hang in there, Chat, this will all be over soon," she assured. He flashed her a cute smile. "M'lady, are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I smile," he sang.

Ladybug rolled her eyes before dragging him out the door of the flower shop. They were immediately bombarded by Alya and her phone.

"Ladybug! What happened? Are you injured? What's wrong with Chat Noir? Is he hurt? How would you sa-"

Ladybug shot her a glare and covered the camera lens. She didn't want news of Chat's condition spreading, especially on the Ladyblog. He's had enough negative publicity lately. Before Alya could get more footage, Ladybug took off with Chat on her yoyo.

She landed on her balcony, praying that her parents were already out for errands. As soon as she loosened her grip on Chat, he tore from her grasp, climbed on top of her iron railing, and dramatically threw up his arms to the sky.

"I am the Paris guardian, guardian of the Paris! Hawkmoth quivers before me!!" He hollered at the top of his lungs. "Back off-" Ladybug snatched him by the collar of his suit and yanked him back. She swung her trap door open and chucked him down into her bedroom. 

Chat ungracefully collapsed face first onto her carpet with her jumping down to his side shortly after. Without hesitation, Ladybug rushed to her computer and frantically typed on her keyboard. She had to fix this asap.
