True Love Kiss

5 - Lady WiFi

Warning! This part will be the first one of my alternative plot developments of the actual episodes of the Season 1. Here you'll find some quotations, some paraphrases and some alternative scenes or dialogues resulting from the magical kisses that took place before :-)

***

Friday at school seemed to be quite ordinary. Quickly, however, Marinette became convinced that it wouldn't be an ordinary day. It started with Alya's absence at the first lesson. Marinette was a little worried because her friend never missed a lesson. Disregarding the teacher's presence in the classroom, she asked Nino if he knew what had happened. When she heard from him that Alya had been suspended for breaking into Chloe's locker, and that Alya had suspected Chloe of being Ladybug, she expressed her amazement aloud. Mrs. Bustier didn't think long about a punishment for Marinette and she sent the girl to the principal. Then the events rolled out. There was no time to think – instead of sitting in the classroom, Marinette had to save Paris from Lady WiFi. From Alya...

As Ladybug she ran quickly to the neighbourhood of the Grand Paris Hotel. If Lady WiFi wanted to know the identity of the superheroine, and she suspected it might be Chloe Bourgeois, she would definitely appear somewhere in her apartment. Ladybug halted dead when she saw Cat Noir watching Chloe running around her room in the guise of Ladybug.

"Is it appropriate to spy on famous girls?" she asked sarcastically, drowning these strange butterflies in her stomach she felt at the sight of her partner.

"Thank God..." Cat Noir sighed with a relief. "I was already afraid that..."

"Oh, come on!" Ladybug waved her hand. "It's so obvious this is just a fan! A miserable fake!"

"Yes..." Cat Noir replied in a deep tone and took a step toward her.

Ladybug blushed instantly. He was going to kiss her right away! And she hadn't yet sorted out all these feelings and... And... It was too late. He kissed her, and her thoughts disappeared from her head.

"You have to stop doing that, Cat." She murmured, stating with astonishment that she had already hugged his neck again.

"I can't, Bugaboo." He replied with a grin.

"Uh, you can be annoying." she sighed, but not convincingly, because she couldn't control the smile. "We have work to do. We have to save Chloe." she looked again towards the windows of the hotel and added, rolling her eyes: "I don't believe I said that."

They went to fight. But Lady WiFi was a powerful opponent. She used her smartphone skilfully, stopping the time or blocking the entrance. Ladybug wanted to bring the super-villain to the basement, where there was no signal, but Lady WiFi was too clever for that. They had to face her upstairs.

And there was a trap prepared by akumatised Alya who blocked the kitchen door detaching Cat Noir from Ladybug. Then she trapped Ladybug and was about to take off the superheroine's mask when it turned out it was... impossible.

"It's magical..." Ladybug smiled ironically.

Lady WiFi snorted irritably. Her frustration grew when she saw Cat Noir in the kitchen. Not through the door? Get inside through the window. Or the dumb waiter in this case.

"Well, well, well... It seems that a little Kitty tries to save his beloved bug..." Lady WiFi mocked.

"I'm not his beloved anyone!" Ladybug denied, blushing under her mask.

"We'll talk about it later..." Cat Noir winked to her and focused on the super-villain.

But Lady WiFi was very fast. After a short fight, she managed to imprison him in a cold store. For the first time, the villain sent by Hawkmoth managed to defeat both superheroes.

"You'd better hurry up before your kitten turns into a little snow-cat..." Lady WiFi laughed maliciously, taking off the padlocks from Ladybug's hands and disappearing in the smartphone.

Ladybug didn't have much time. Her partner was freezing, and she didn't know how to get him out. She usually spared her magical spell of lucky charm for the last minute of the fight, but this time she knew she should recall it earlier.

"Take care, Cat!" she said through the door.

"Take your time, Bugaboo..." she heard his reply.

She frowned. Was he serious? She sighed and used her Lucky Charm to rescue him from the cold store. Seconds later Cat Noir fell out of the huge refrigerator directly to Ladybug embraces.

"Are you OK?" she asked him softly.

"Y-ye-sss, I-I'm fi-fine n-now." Cat Noir stuttered in reply, holding her close.

Ladybug hugged him tight. She preferred not to think too much about all the feelings in her heart. Now was the time to defeat Lady WiFi and finish the show.

"OK now? Can you walk?" she asked with tenderness in her voice that she couldn't hide.

"Mhmmm..." he murmured still hugging her. She rolled her eyes. What a guy!

"Come on, stray cat! Duties first!"

"Duty before booty." He grinned.

And at that moment Ladybug's earrings beeped alarmingly.

"You used your Lucky Charm?" he asked in astonishment.

"I was in need." she answered evasively. "Now let's go to Lady WiFi. We don't have too much time. If I detransform, she'll have millions of viewers."

"How will we defeat her, if she's still ahead?"

"You need to drown out the wi-fi signal." Ladybug suddenly discovered the solution.

"So, let's do it, My Lady." He winked to her and kissed her cheek quickly.

She rolled her eyes. And yet somewhere in her heart she felt amused and had to admit that his jokes had their charm. What the hell had happened to her?

She didn't have time to think about it. After the destruction of the wi-fi transmitter, disarming the super-villain was just a formality. After a moment, Lady WiFi turned back to being Alya, who – even though she didn't remember anything from the day – didn't want to lose the opportunity for an interview with the superheroes.

But Ladybug didn't even try to be polite. The earrings beeped for the last time, so she knew it was close to reveal her identity! She quickly escaped from the roof of the Grand Paris Hotel. She reached the boxroom and was about to shut the door when she felt Cat Noir's hand on her shoulder.

"I won't tell anyone." He whispered.

"No." She shook her head. "I can't. You know..."

"OK." he muttered and lowered his head.

She stroked him on the cheek. And she kissed him. Quickly. She didn't have time anymore, so she moved back and closed the door behind her. After a while, she stood in the closet as Marinette, and Tikki was flying around her head, shaking her head with disapproval. But she didn't say a word.
