"Adrien be a dear son and give me your Miraculous or watch Marinette die from the lack of air." Adrien looked at Marinette he watched her face turn slightly blue and pass out. He reached to take off his ring, when Ivy grabbed his hand stopping him from taking it off. She shook her head 'no' Adrien stared at her, but took off his ring and handed it to his father. "Release the girl," Hawkmoth said to the invisible force. As soon as the creature let go of Marinette, Adrien ran to her to make sure she was okay.
"Marinette... Not again please come back," Adrien pleaded. He watched her chest rise and fall but no stirring occured. Panic struck him like a bat to a baseball, "Wake up we need you... I need you..." Hawkmoth took the ring and earrings and putted the two miraculouses together releasing a strong white light.
"Come on, Marinette, just do it" Alya said pointing at Adrien. "You better do it now before his babysitter shows up and takes your chance away," Alya stated giving a thumbs up. "Go get him!"
"Okay, come on you can do this, just tell him." Marinette whispered to herself. Tikki popped out of her bag.
"Yeah, you sure can, Marinette!" Tikki whispered giving an encouraging smile to her friend. Marinette stood up from her hiding place behind the stairs, brushed her bangs out of her face, and walked toward Adrien. Each step she took shot butterflies into her stomach, when she finally reached him. She hesitated looking at the floor.
"Hi Adrien, can I tell you something?" Marinette piped up while smoothing down the bottom of her shirt that was sticking up. Adrien turned to her with a smile on his face. His pearly whites dazzling her.
"Yeah sure, Marinette. What is it?" He inquired. Marinette looked at him with her ocean blue eyes staring into his.
"I just want to tell you... That one rainy day when you gave me your umbrella, I fell in love with you. Can you... Do you possibly like me back?" Marinette blushed when his eyes met hers. Adrien looked down at his shoes and fumbled with his bag, his tousled blonde hair shaking as he shook his head.

"I'm so sorry, Marinette, but my heart belongs to someone else..." He rubbed his hand on the back of his neck trying to stop his nervousness about letting such a good friend down.
Marinette's smile slowly dissipated after hearing his answer. "Oh... Who do you like then?" She asked trying to not let the disappointment show in her voice. She put on a fake smile to hid her pain.
"You may know her as Ladybug. I know it may sound ridiculous, but I think her and me share a connection. She just so awesome saving everyone without a single thought, she is just so sweet, and very stubborn. You know?" Adrien beamed when he said Ladybug, when a muffled voice emerged from the pocket inside his outer coat.
"You humans are so dumb. How can you not know?" Plagg sighed shaking his small head while taking a bite out of his white camembert cheese. Adrien looked confused, staring into his pocket while plugging his nose to stop the bad smell from reaching his nostrils.

"What do you mean?" Adrien said furrowing his brow in confusion. "How can I not know what?" He looked down at his kwami.
Plagg shook his head, "I can't say." He looked up at Adrien. Adrien raised his eyebrow again, he looked up expecting Marinette to be there, but all that was there was empty air.
Marinette beamed, "He likes me Tikki! He likes me! I mean he likes Ladybug, but me and her are the same person." Tikki smiled up at Marinette, "Aww if only he just knew though... " Marinette said. She laid her arms on the cleanest part of the low fence when someone cackled.
"How can he like you? I mean just look at you. You are definitely not Adrien's type and besides he already has girlfriend," Marinette whirled around to come face to face with Chloe. Marinette 's smile slowly turned into a frown. Chloe waved her hand, "Especially people who talk to themselves. Plus do you need proof we are dating?" Chloe took out a photo of her and Adrien kissing, Marinette's spirit dropped.
"What no... This photo isn't real," Marinette said standing up tall puffing out her chest. Chloe smiled and nodded, she turned to her assitant - Sabrina, "Right, Sabrina you were there weren't you?"
Sabrina snapped out of her daydreaming, "Yes I saw the whole thing."
Chloe flipped her blonde hair and sashayed away. She turned around for a moment, "So if I were you I'd give up." Marinette's mouth dropped open, Tikki popped out from her purse watching the last of Chloe's shadow disappear.
Tears began to fill her eyes, Marinette tried her best to wipe them off with her sleeves. "Marinette, don't let Chloe get you down like that," Tikki whispered into Marinette's ear. Marinette looked into Tikki's eyes, but more tears just kept forming.
"No matter how much I try, things have never worked out. Besides like you said Tikki he must not know my identity, and besides what if he changes his mind once he finds out it's me. Chloe can have him, I'm sick and tired of this crap," Marinette wiped her tears. Tikki frowned, 'Thiscertainly isnotlikeyouMarinette.' Anger and sadness lashed out at Marinette's heart creating conflict with her normally positive endeavor.
In the distance, a circular shaped window opens to reveal a room containing Hawkmoth and his butterflies awaiting a debating transformation. "Aw, a thirst for proving yourself, and putting your angered heart to rest. What a perfect specimen for my akuma." Hawkmoth placed out his hand, a singular plain white butterfly landed on it. He cupped his hands over the butterfly emitting purple and blue sparks, transforming a simple butterfly into a deadly weapon. "Fly away my evil akuma, and give our guest a peace of mind." Hawkmoth released the akuma releasing an evil laugh. "Soon I will have Chat Noir and Ladybug's miraculouses!"
The akuma fluttered above Paris looking for its victim, when it came acrossed Marinette's residence.
