So Long Ago

Chapter 3

Owo wuts this? A SECOND new chapter? In the SAME DAY?!

Well, technically not the same day, seeing as its just past midnight here. BUUUT you get the idea here.XD

Also, dont count on this happening alot!! This is probably a one time only thing so count your lucky ladybugs that i just happen to be that cool today. *majestic hair flips*

okay jk, but STILL. Very unlikely this'll be happening more in the future. So enjoy it while you can. XD

******************************

There was the shrill beeps of an alarm clock. It continued to ring and cry out, as its desired target slowly shifted under the covers with groans of pain and grief of sleep lost that was yet to be gained back.

There was another groan in the room. A much tinier one as they too shifted in their little makeshift bed.

"Marinette...Marinette get the alarm..." Tikki moaned softly, trying to roll over in her little pillow mattress and handkerchief blanket; both hand made with care for the kwami by her miraculous wielder.

There was another moan of distress from under the heap of much larger blankets and sheets, before a single fist darts out from under the covers. It silences the alarm clock with the ever-so conventional throwing-it-against-the-wall method, the crashing causing the poor kwami to jump with fright.

"Marinette! Did you just throw the clock again?! That's the third one this month!" The little red bug groaned, floating over to the spot on the bed where the hand had retreated back into the comfort of the blanket fort.

"The inventor of alarm clocks deserves to rot in hell..." growled a voice from the blankets. "Chat Noir too for that matter..."

Tikki giggles softly, shaking her head at her chosen. Then, a voice from downstairs shouts up, startling both kwami and chosen alike.

"Marinette?! Is everything alright in there? I heard something fall!" called up the sweet voice of Marinette's mother. "You're awake now right? You're going to be late for school!"

"Yes Mama!!" yelped Marinette, hastily throwing off the covers as she fumbled out of the bed, only causing herself to trip on her blankets and crash to the ground with yet another loud thud.

"What was that?! Do I need to come up there Marinette?!"

"N-no Mama!! Im okay! You stay down there!"

Tikki giggles as Marinette extracts herself from her blankets with groans.

"Maybe tonight we should skip on the late night mooning of Adrien's picture collage, and go to sleep earlier? Then perhaps you can actually get up in the morning for school and not be late for once!"

Marinette rolled her eyes, before trudging over to her closet with lead filled feet.

"Heh. I think I would've rather kicked that damn cat off the building when I had the chance...then maybe I could've gotten some dumb sleep!!"

Tikki gave Marinette a serious look, and that made the girl sigh, before chuckling softly.

"Sorry...I know I know. 'I have to be better than the wrong doers around me' because its 'my duty as Ladybug to protect the people of Paris.' But still...I spent most of the night swinging around looking for that idiot cat instead of getting rest after he cataclysmed that roof under me...jerk...and i-...I NEVER SHOWERED MY HAIR!!" The girl shrieks, dashing to her mirror where sure enough, bits and pieces of drywall, old wood, and other debris still clung to her hair.
