Miraculous Ladybug: After a year

Change and Break-Ups

Chloe's PoV
It has been a few months since me and the Miracle Queen incident. I...changed. A lot. Mom and dad became lovey dovey (which isn't helpful due to their public affection)
Now, I help out at an orphanage, to help my dad with his campaign. I mean, it's just because he is really busy.
"Come around kids! I'll sing you 'Heart of Stone', ok?"

You've got a good heart
But I know it changes
A restless tide, untameable
You came my way
And I knew a storm could come too
You'd lift me high, or let me fall

But I took your hand
Promised I'd withstand
Any blaze you blew my way
'Cause something inside
It solidified
And I knew I'd always stay

You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakeable
When the fire's burnt
When the wind has blown
When the water's dried
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone

You say we're perfect
A perfect family
You hold us close for the world to see
And when I say you're the only one I've ever loved
I mean those words truthfully

But I know, without my son
Your love could disappear
And though it isn't fair
But I don't care
'Cause my love will still be here

You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakeable
When the fire's burnt
When the wind has blown
When the water's dried
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone

Soon I'll have to go
I'll never see him grow
But I hope my son will know
He'll never be alone
'Cause like a river runs dry
And leaves its scars behind
I'll be by your side
'Cause my love is set in stone

Yeah

You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakeable
The fire's burnt
The wind has blown
The water's dried

You'll still find stone
My heart of stone

You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakeable
The fire's burnt
The wind has blown
The water's dried

You'll still find stone
My heart of stone

Reaching the end of the song, I see the kids cheer and a crowd of people. Marinette. Adrien. Alya. Nino. Kagami. And another boy, blue hair. Oh, that cute guy from...ah, you know...and Juleka and Rose...
"W-wait...how...?"
"I told them."
I hear a voice.
"Dad?"
"You deserve to be heard darling. You have beautiful voice."
"Really?"
"...yes."
I squeal and hug him, "thanks dad! You're the best!"
He laughs, "well yes, I try!"

After my shift, Adrien and his friends take me to a boathouse, it was very...average.
"Whose place is this?"
"Ours," Juleka says, "this is my older brother, Luka."
The boy with the blue hair waves. Marinette smil. I look at the path next to the boat, where Adrien is arguing with Kagami.
"They don't have a stable relationship, do they?"
Everyone notices and watches subtly.
Just then Kagami storms off and Adrien is about to chase after her, until he gives up and collapses on the bench. Worried, I start to move towards him when Marinette is pushed by Alya.
"Go on, I'm sure he'll appreciate it-"
"ALYA THAT'S ENOUGH!"
"Wh-what?"
I look at Adrien who hears the yelling.
"I don't like him anymore so stop trying to hook us up! That's enough..." she walks over to Luka and hugs him, "I have someone else..."
"Hey guys. Umm...me and Kagami broke up..."
"What?!" I exclaim and hug him, "Adrien...I'm so so sorry."
"No it's ok. It's just... I think we reflect each other too much...too similar."
Marinette sadly says, "I'm so sorry Adrien..."
"It's ok. It's fine."
"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask. He sniffs and nods.

"So. Spill," I say as a few of us; Alya, Marinette and Nino, crowd around him.
"Well, I realised that she was in a bad mood so I asked her what's wrong. She said, "you." And I immediately said, "what have I done?" And she just didn't talk. Then when we got here she said that she didn't want to come here. I was not sure why and asked and she said it's because today she only wanted to spend time with me. And I said that she can spend time with me whilst we are here with our friends. I-is that a bad thing?"
"No, not at all," Marinette says, "I'm sure Kagami is just blowing off some steam. Maybe she'll come back..."
"WAIT. What if she gets akumatized?"
"She...she wouldn't, would she?" Alya asks.
"Kagami may be strong but that reflects her emotions."
"I-I should go look for he-"
"ADRIEN!"
"Kagami?"
"I'M NOT KAGAMI ANYMORE! I AM LOVE KILLER."
Adrien sadly says, "Kagami! Listen-"
"No. I DON'T CARE!"

After the akuma attack, Kagami and Adrien talk.
"I...I am sorry Adrien."
"Me too Kagami. I am sorry I couldn't stop this calmly. I just feel like we mirror too much..."
She sadly nods, "I understand...but we can still be friends?"
"Of course, I never said we couldn't."
"I...was angry."
"I know."
I smile as they walk over to us.
Hugging Adrien, I whisper, "well done."
He smiles, "thank you..."
Marinette squeal and giggles all of a sudden as Luka spins her around. I smile.
"Hey you two!"
They look over, "GUYS! JAGGED STONE JUST GOT IN CONTACT WITH ME. He wants Luka to be part of a competition!"
I gasp, "NO WAY!"
Luka grins, "it's great! I'll be going tomorrow!"
"Awww, good luck!"

Arriving home, I see mom and dad and-
"Jagged Stone?"
"Ahhh...umm, hi Chloe."
"Hi."
I walk past them and go to my room. The last thing I hear him say is, "that was different."
I scoff, "that was different. That was different? I'll show you different."
I angrily mumble. Is that all people are going to see me as. The eccentric, annoying Chloe Bourgeois...
I sing passionately as I tidy my room, blasting out music and dancing.

At the end of the song, I turn around to see Jagged and my parents.
"Mom. Dad. Jagged."
"Chloe. Would you like to be part of my show?"
I laugh, "yeah, sure."
"Be there around 9:40, k?"
"Wait. Are you serious?"
He nods.
"You know I can't, mom and dad are judges and it will be biased."
Wincing, Jagged hums, "AHAH! So, Mr and Mrs Bourgeois, do you mind if I-"
"We don't mind. Go ahead! You know, Clara is still a judge so you can get...I know! What about Gabriel?"
"Gabriel Agreste? As if, he won't want to come out."

"He will do it!"
"Really?"
"Yes, and Adrien is going to be on the show too."
"Wow."
