Toi et Moi

Timebreaker

Looking through my pictures, I glance away and notice a group of my classmates at the other end of the fountain. Blann sticks his head out of my bag and gazes at them curiously before asking, "Don't you want to know what they're doing?"

"Not really," I answer honestly with a shrug and turn my gaze to the screen of my camera. "Prying will only lead to trouble anyway."

"You're not even curious about who Ladybug and Chat Noir are?"

"Nope—" I turn off my camera and look at him— "we wear masks for a reason."

Sudden screams make me flinch and quickly look away from my camera. Immediately spotting an Akumatized girl rollerblading, I climb over the nearby wall and Blann hovers in front of me. "Okay, Blann, ears up!"

Vaulting over the wall, I spot her chasing one of the girls on the other side of the fountain. Quickly gripping my Tonfas, I falter when the rollerblading girl touches the fallen girl and makes her disappear. Noticing Chat come up behind her, I take a running leap and barely make it to the other side.

I pop up next to Ladybug, who shouts "don't let her touch you!" as the other girl goes barreling towards Chat.

Quickly jumping over her, Chat stretches with a grin. "Missed me just a second too late."

The rollerblader skids to a stop before turning her attention to a girl hiding behind the low wall. Chasing after her, she races down the hill and touches the dark haired girl. Skating down the walkway away from us, we quickly chase after her.

"Well she wastes no time, does she?" asks Chat as we come to a stop.

"The more people she freezes, the more minutes she gets to go farther back in time," Ladybug explains as she looks around at the frozen people.

My eyes widen. "Oh man, if we don't get that Akuma, then all these guys are goners!" I exclaim before spotting Timebreaker as she advances towards another person trying to hide behind a small tree. "There she goes!" I yell and quickly rush towards her. Quickly swinging at her, she dodges and shoots past me.

Ladybug quickly throws her yoyo from behind me and grabs ahold of her wrist. "Keep your hands to yourself!" she shouts with a satisfied grin.

Timebreaker just smirks before yanking hard on the string around her wrist. Sending Ladybug flying forward, she crashes into me from behind unexpectedly. With the wind knocked out of me, Ladybug lays on top of my back before sitting up. Only able to push myself up on my elbows, I glare up at skater as she reaches down to grab ladybug and I.

Instinctually closing my eyes, I jump when I feel another weight on my back. "What the—"

"Chat Noir, no!" Ladybug screams from on top of me and my eyes shoot open.

Struggling to get out from under her, I manage to sit up and stare in shock at the frozen Chat before me. "Chat?" I whisper quietly and move to see his face, "this can't be happening..." I move to touch his face but Ladybug grabs my arm and yanks me backwards. "Hey! Why—" I notice that she has her yoyo wrapped around Timebreaker's waist and quickly twist around to properly hold onto her.

TImebreaker must be stronger than she looks, because she easily drags me and Ladybug around Trocadéro with no problem. I notice sparks form around her as she speeds up so I reach forward and wrap my arms around a screaming Ladybug. This would probably hurt...

A tingly feeling passes over me for a moment before Ladybug and I are launched through the air. Quickly opening my eyes, I barely have enough time to right myself before I manage to shakily land on my feet with Ladybug in my arms. Setting her down gently, I look around in confusion.
