~ (Y/N)'s P.O.V. ~

     "No," I say, trying to run away from the unfolding scene.

     I can see myself, only I'm shorter and wearing a black dress.

Adrien walks in. "(Y/N), are you okay?" He says.

The tiny me nods. "I think so."

"If you need any help, just come to me."
"I'm gonna miss her, Adrien."
"So will I, (Y/N). So will I."

The scene dissolves and a new one appears. This time, we're at the funeral home. Me and Adrien are in the front row, listening to Father give the speech. After the speech, I watch the mini-me take one last look inside the casket. Unfortunately, my subconscious forces me to do the same.

"Mom," I whisper, looking at her body, "I promise I'll protect Adrien at all costs. Don't worry."

As me and my younger self step away, I begin to cry.

~ Adrien's P.O.V. ~

"How can you tell?" Ladybug asks, still fighting Songheart.

"I can just see it. Her eyes are different," I say, trying to come to her side only to be pushed away by Songheart.

Before I can try again, Songheart's eyes return to normal. She throws Ladybug aside.

"Come on, scaredy-cat," she says, "All I want is that ring of yours. If you give it to me, maybe I'll spare you later."

     "(Y/N), please listen to me!" I yell without thinking.

     "How do you know who she is?" says Ladybug.

     "I can just tell.  Look at her eyes," I say, "I'm a fan of fashion myself and I know her eyes.  I swear on my life she's (Y/N) Agreste."

     "Whatever, Kitty," she says.

     "We might wanna use our powers," I say, "Cataclysm!"

     "What does that do?" she says.

     "Well, apparently I can destroy whatever I touch," I tell her.

     She's about to speak as I touch a portrait of me and Father.  "No, Chat Noir!" she cries.

     I rush toward Stoneheart and touch her backpack.  To my surprise, it doesn't turn to ashes like the portrait.

     "Nice job," she says, "We can only use our powers once, and then we only have a few minutes before you transform back."

     "Well, then, what's your power?" I say.

     "Lucky Charm!" she says, tossing her yo-yo into the air.  It comes down along with a gift box.

     "A gift box?  What in the world do I do with this?" she says.

     While I wait for Ladybug to think of the solution, I attack Songheart.

     She throws the box over Songheart's head, temporarily blinding her.  She rips the backpack in half, and I watch the akuma fly out.

     "(Y/N)!" I yell, rushing toward her.

"Adr— I mean, who are you?" she says. I know that she's only pretending to be confused.

"I'm Chat Noir, and this is Ladybug," I tell her before turning to Ladybug, "Oh, yeah, I'll stay for a minute. You head on home."

"Well, Chat, I guess you can stay for another minute," she says. She runs off, leaving the two of us alone.

"Adrien!" she cries, hugging me, "It was horrible. H-He made me relive my worst memories and h-he made me do w-whatever he wanted me to do. Sometimes I had control, sometimes I didn't..." Her voice trails off into sobs.

"It's okay," I say, "Would a game of Ultimate MechaStrike 3 cheer you up?"

She nods, and we walk to my room to play MechaStrike.
