Chat Noir and Ladybug stood on the Eiffel Tower.
"We have been at this for a while and Hawkmoth is still missing..."
"We have to do something..."
Ladybug paces around, "maybe...I'll have to do something crazy..."
Chat looks at her, "crazy? What do you mean?"
Ladybug falls to the floor and groans, burying her head in her knees, "I can't...it...I can't...no Tikki, I have to..."
"Ladybug?"
She angrily groans, "UGH! I give up! When I see Hawkmoth next, I'm gonna-"
"M'lady!"
She throws her yo-yo on the floor as he calls for her.
"Y-yes?"
"What is this crazy thing?"
"I...I need to risk my identity..."
"LB, are you crazy?"
"Perhaps...but it may be the only thing I can do-"
"NO!" Chat angrily replies, "I am not losing you partner! We are partners, no? So let's do this together, without risking anything!"
She sighs and nods, "but...how are we going to find out where Hawkmoth is..."
Chat hums as he paces, "hmmmm......I GOT IT!"
"What?" Ladybug asks eagerly.
"Hawkmoth controls people through akumas, right? So we just need to get YOU some...ladybugs! We can plant them around the city. Then, the next akuma attack, we can find the closest ones, and send them to follow the akuma."
"What? Like a...like a SPY?!"
Chat Noir smirks and nods. Ladybug hums, "that could work...could you befriend some cats?"
"Befriend cats you say? I'll try...is this a weird plan?"
Ladybug shrugs but then they hear a shuffle.
"Did you hear that?"
"Yeah...I don't like the sound of that...Chaton, go around the left I'll go around the right, k?" She whispers with a low voice.
Walking around, Ladybug sees a hidden shadow and throws the yo-yo at it, entrapping it.
"Lila?!"
Chat joins Ladybug and angrily says, "Why are you here?"
Lila lies, "I don't know actually...I think I'm meant to be meeting someone here and I just felt my body come here. It might be because of my, um, schizophrenia-"
"LILA! Don't mess with us! You do NOT have schizophrenia! That is ridiculous that you would lie about such a serious issue!" Ladybug exclaims, "come on, we are taking you to your house!"
"Fine," she says annoyedly, "just know that everyone believes me. You'll never be able to expose me!"
Ladybug sighs, "I don't care. Just grow up."
They arrive at Lila's house and urge her in.
"Umm, you can go now."
"No, we want to see you go in. And I think we should talk to your mom."
Lila stutters, "w-well, she's at work so-"
Just then a lady comes up to the group, "Lila? Why are you with Ladybug and Chat Noir?"
Lila sighs angrily, "WONDERFUL!"
Ladybug and Chat Noir look at eachother, "who are you?"
"I am Lila's mom. Come one dear, let's go ho-"
"NO!" She angrily yells, "the amount of TIMES I've had to lie to make my way here and it all breaks down because of YOU HAWKMOTH!"
"Hawkmoth?!"
No way, she is working with Hawkmoth?
"Lila...dont tell me you're working with Hawkmoth?" Her mum exclaims.
Lila groans, "YES. So what?! Chloe did too and everyone is embracing her like she's an amazing person!" At this point, Lila's face was red.
Just then a purple butterfly flies into her jacket. She immediately agrees and disappears before Chat and Ladybug can do anything.
"Go after her!" Her mom begs. Ladybug nods and follows but is met with a dead end. Darkness surrounded her.
(A/N: I tried)
How could I let any of this happen?
People's lives matter...
Why is it that, she had to lie?
Her life matters...
Was this a last resort?
Are there more out there...
Please tell me this'll stop.
I feel so broken.

With all the love I have and everything that I do, why do I feel like a person who has done nothing except fight?
Please tell me~~
Have I done something wrong?
Please tell me~~
Can I make this right?

I should've known when I saw her face,
I should've known when I knew her intentions.
Was I blinded by my stupid love, yes, but will I try my best, well
How can I not?

But why must I, make up for what he left me?
My master is gone, I have no one to run to
It's just me and the cat, two lonely heroes
Without a leader, someone to run to.

That could be a good thing. Maybe, I don't know.
I'll keep questioning my liability, my ability, my agility to think of what to do.
But it doesn't matter because she's gone to the dark side and I won't be able to help her grow.
She's gone and my life is harder, now what do I do?

Chat finds her.

"Lady, do not cry, do not fret, for we are in it together.
We can do this together, forever.
She's out there for us to help.
We can help. "

Ladybug:

"But can we? Why do I feel that,
everything I do is so selfish now.
And no matter what,
I don't know why or how,
To help her, or to help me,
I feel like my expertise~~~~
is breaking people's hearts.
My mind rushes like a kart,
All I do is selfishly cry,
over love, anguish and myself. Why,
do I do this to myself, make my friends suffer?
Will I ever change? No, never."

Chat interrupts, "why do you say that? Why do you say that mlady?"

"Hah, why do I say that? Why do I say that?
I say it because it's true!
No matter what I do~~~

How could I let any of this happen?
People's lives matter...
Why is it that, she had to lie?
Her life matters...
Was this a last resort?
Are there more out there...
Please tell me this'll stop.
I feel so broken."

A few minutes later...
Ladybug eventually reaches the outskirts of Paris before giving up. She finds an orchard and walks through it, Chat following her quietly.
"Chat...I don't want to be Ladybug anymore..."
Chat looks up worried, "I-I...NO."
"What?!" She angrily asks.
"I said NO. LB, I can't imagine anyone else to be Ladybug. You are the true Coccinelle de Paris. I will not let you go..."
Eventually, the sun begins to rise and they reach a hill.
"Chat, I can't do it. You heard me, I'm broken... I...I know how to stop being Ladybug. Tikki spots o-"
"No!" Chat exclaims and covers her mouth.
She muffles, "MMM! HHMMM!"
"No. I won't allow it mlady..."
Chat pulls his hands away once she's calm.
"Ladybug?"
"Chat..."
She cries and he hugs her.
"I feel so weak. I just... want to be a normal person..."
He sadly says, "me too...I've been wishing that my whole life..."
She fiddles with her fingers, "Chat...maybe it's time that...we knew...it has been over 3 months."
He gulps, "really?"
She nods.
"Well...ok."
They say the magic words and detransform. The sun rises in the background.
"...Marinette?"
"...Adrien?"
They look at eachother, whilst examining.
Then, laughing, they hug. Plagg and Tikki hug and watch them kiss.
"This...is the...best...thing...ever..." Marinette cries.
Adrien hugs her tight, "this is the best. You're the best..."
He places a kiss on her forehead.
