Yes I know I'm lazy but here's your story XD

"Hm?" Marinette gazed up at the door as the figure stepped inside. The blue haired girl looked up to see a shy looking male at the door. By the way he was standing it seemed that they were a victim, although they appeared where a guy, they still maintained femininity. Staring for a bit longer, Marinette felt like she knew them from somewhere. Maybe they had been at her school but left when they supposedly became a victim.

The male(?) was now gazing longingly at a row of cupcakes in a shelf. "These are very good, did you make them?" He asked, turning his green eyes towards her. Mari smiled and nodded in return, a blush forming from the praise. "Ah, my friends spoke about how good your bakery was, never actually been in before... well until now," he added before turning back to the cupcakes.

Marinette watched him with curiosity. She knew she wouldn't get a straight answer if she asked if he was a victim so she didn't. Most if not all victims claimed to be their new gender anyway. "So... um... I'm sorry I didn't catch your name?" She mumbled sheepishly only to get a light chuckled and a shake of the boys head. Now that puzzled her. "Hm... are you going to buy a cupcake then?" She asked, feeling really awkward.

"Might as well, they're really pretty," he said with a flare of some kind of emotion in his eyes. Marinette found herself watching his as he scanned his eyes across the little cakes, occasionally picking one up to examine it before putting it down again. Finally he picked up a red cupcake with black spots. It looked like the design of ladybugs miraculous. The boy seemed to be staring very closely at it. Examining it. Closely.

"Heh that one is based off-"

"Ladybug," He finished cutting her off before looking up to her again. Marinette jumped a bit at the mention of her alter ego even though she was half expecting it. "I'll take this one," he finished, after pausing for a while. He walked back over to her, placing the cupcake on the counter. After being given the price, he took out two coins from his pocket. Marinette held out her hand to take the money expecting him to drop it in her hands.

The boy lowered the money in Marinette's hand though instead of just giving it to her he clasped his hand around hers. This caused Marinette to looked up to him in shock. "Um..." she blinked, freezing in place. "Are you... are you ok?..." the boy pulled his hand away.

"Ah ha I'm sorry to intrude, I zone out sometimes," He mumbled before turning away. "Thank you again... Marinette," and with that he walked out the door.

"Wait! You forgot your... cupcake?" She blinked as the jingle of the bell singled he was gone. Normally Marinette would have chased after him to give the cupcake but right now she felt really... weird. Instead she placed it in a box for later... incase he came back. Not long after a few more people came in, brought some pastries and left. Though as the day went on Marinette found herself getting dizzier and dizzier. She was about to call her parents to ask if she could close the shop for a while when another customer walked in. By this point Marinette felt like she was having a headache.

"Hey girl!" The familiar voice of Alya called out. "Mari?" She added, sounding hesitant after getting no reply. Alya walked over to her best friend but for Marinette everything was getting hazy. Her head felt lighter for some reason and her expression felt weird and plastic. "Oh my god! Marinette! You're-!"

That's when everything went black.

Marinette had passed out-
