*on Alya's phone*

Mrs. Chamack: yesterday, Ladybug was caught kissing young Luka Couffaine. Luka, son of Anarka Couffaine, is 16 years old and-

Alya: woah! Hey Juleka, did your brother really kiss ladybug!?

Juleka: well yeah, I guess.

Alya: woah! I wonder if Ladybug is cheating on chat noir!

Nino: no way, Ladybug is loyal. Besides, she's not in love with Chat Noir.

Ms. Bustier: *walks in* good morning class! How is everyone today?

Class: *mumbles* good.

Ms. Bustier: *looks around, and sighs* Marinette and Adrien are late again? Does anyone know where they are?

*Nino and Alya look at each other, and make a face*

Alya: I don't know ma'am, Marinette hasn't answered any of my texts, I haven't heard anything from her since before she and Adrien were kidnapped yesterday.

Nino: Luka said she stopped by his house while we were all at Andrés last evening. But I haven't heard from Adrien either, do you think someone will take them again?!?

Alya: oh no!

*the class starts fretting about what could be happening*

Ms. Bustier: calm down students, I'm sure they're just late like normal. Now everyone take out your tablets so we can begin today's lesson.

*everyone takes their tablets out of their bags, and begins their work*

Ms. Bustier: okay, now everyone please-

*the tablets all turn black, and make glitching noises*

Nino: uh, what's going on?

*then, all of them change to show the tv network, but it's not Mrs. Chamack*

Hawkmoth: People of Paris! I have found your beloved Ladybug, and precious Chat Noir.

*The camera turns to Adrien, locked up, then turns back to Hawkmoth with Marinette*

Hawkmoth: unfortunately, Marinette Dupain-Cheng "lost" her miraculous on her way *tightens his grip on the sword and brings it even closer to Marinette's neck* if it is not found and brought to me by the end of the day, then this city may just "lose" its ladybug.

Marinette: *mumbles through the tape, and rapidly shakes her head* DON'T LET HIM GET MY-

*the broadcast cuts off*

*the entire class is in shock, no one says anything, for most of them are barely holding back tears*

*Alya wants to run away and cry, cry because now she knows who ladybug is, cry because Marinette lied to her, cry because she couldn't tell before, but mostly, cry because she can't lose her best friend. But she doesn't, even without her miraculous, Alya knows she has to do something, whatever the risk. She wipes her eyes and stands up firm, even those she feels more vulnerable than ever*

Alya: Well?! We can't just sit here! We have to do something! Didn't you guys see?! Marinette, OUR Marinette is Ladybug! But she may not be much longer if no one does anything about it!

Nathaniel: But, what are we supposed to do?

Alya: Well, what would Marinette want us to do?

Alix: it sounds like Marinette wants us to let hawkmoth kill her so he won't be able to find her miraculous and gain ultimate power.

Kim: Yeah, besides, it's way too dangerous for us to do anything.

Alya: okay, bad point....but still! We will find hawkmoth, and save Marinette and Adrien! We have to! There's no other option if we want them to live. Who's with me?

*no one stands up*

Alya: no one?! Fine, I'll do it alone if i have to. *she begins to walk away*

Chloe: wait! *her head is on her desk, and she's crying, but she doesn't want to make it obvious* I'll come. *she lifts up her head* I may hate Marinette, and I may be mad that she's ladybug, but this is more important than me, this is more important than all of us! This is the fate of Paris! As much as I hate to admit it, Marinette is the nicest person I know, the nicest person any of us knows! She wouldn't hesitate a second to save any of you if you were in her position. And Adrien, has Adrien even done anything wrong in his life?! They shouldn't be suffering because they've kept us from suffering for months as Ladybug and Chat Noir! We have to be strong, and we have to fight! So, who's with us!?

Lila: *stands up* I'll help! After all, ladybug is my best friend!

*because Lila stood up, now everyone stands up*

Alya: *smiles at Lila* thanks.

Lila: no problem! We will all save Marinette and Adrien!

Alya: *whispers something into Lila's ear,* is that okay?

Lila: *gasps* of course! Gladly! come on everyone! We will gather everyone we can, and track down hawkmoth! Will you help us Ms. Bustier?

Ms. Bustier: of course! Let's go!

*they all leave, Alya winks at Nino and they stay in the classroom, and Alya then grabs Chloe's arm just before she leaves the room*

Chloe: hey! We need to go help them!

*Nino and Alya look at each other, and nod their heads*

Alya: we need your help Chloe

Chloe: with what?

Alya: We need to find our miraculous' so we can really help.

Chloe: OUR miraculous? But you guys don't- WAIT, YOU'RE

Alya: Rena Rouge, *jokingly bows* in the flesh.

Chloe: So I'm guessing Nino is Carapace?

Nino: you bet!

Alya: if we want to be able to save Marinette and Adrien we need to work together, hawkmoth is a huge threat and probably more than any of us can handle, *sigh* even together. But we have to try, Marinette would, and has, done the same for us!

Chloe: she chose us to be miraculous holders for a reason, let's show her she made a good decision.

Lila: *eavesdropping from outside the classroom* good luck with that *evil smile*
