Sandboy 2.0

A normal evening

Slowly but surely we're getting to the good stuff. (At least I hope it's good lmao)

Marinette woke up late in the evening, feeling a lot better. Her body definitely wasn't as sore anymore and the tiredness she had felt was mostly gone. She happily yawned. She turned to the tray of pastries, only to notice that all the chocolate chip cookies were gone. She laughed and turned to Tikki who looked at her with a guilty smile. Marinette picked Tikki up and cupped her in her hands and gave her a big kiss on her forehead. They both smiled and laughed. Everything finally seemed fine for a moment. She was well rested, had her best friend by her side and there was no Akuma... for now. She went down the stairs where her parents were watching a movie. When they noticed Marinette, they paused it turned to her.

"How are you feeling my dear? Are you okay?" 

"Yes Maman, I'm feeling much better and rested. I really needed that. I've just been really busy and things were stressful, but you don't have to worry Maman, papa. I'm fine, really!"

She gave her parents a genuine reassuring look and happily turned away to the kitchen. Her parents smiled, they could see she was doing better and really needed some rest, so they continued to watch the movie, feeling relieved.

Marinette got herself a plate with food, kissed and hugged her parents and went back upstairs. She sat down at her desk, started to work on a design and turned on her computer. She then looked at her phone and noticed the spam she had gotten from Alya.

"Girl!!? Are you okay?!"

"Why are you not responding?! Should I come over?"

"Do you need something? Are you sick?"

"Marinette?!?"

"Girl I swear, when you're back, I'm going to kill you for ignoring me like this"

Marinette just laughed at all the messages she got and decided to answer her.

"I'm so sorry Al, when I got home, I immediately fell into a deep sleep, I'm sorry I worried you, but I appreciate all the concern, and spam... ;)"

Satisfied with her answer, she put her phone down and started eating while designing a nice warm Chat Noir themed hoodie for the cat himself as it was getting colder each night, so she wanted to make something for her partner that would keep him warm.

Adrien was woken up by Nathalie around 7 pm because dinner was ready to be served. He had gotten plenty of rest and felt incredibly fresh. Yes, his muscles were still a bit sore, but already so much better. He didn't look like an idiot anymore who could only walk very stiffly and cramped because of his aching muscles.

The chef had prepared his favourite dinner. Adrien munched down the delicious plate of food and finished it in no time. He was in a good mood and back in his room, he even gave the sarcastic little Kwami some extra camembert.

"You are surprisingly cheerful now Adrien, in compare to this morning. What did you dream about? A date and kiss with Ladybug?"

Adrien laughed and answered,

"No Plagg, although I wish I did, but I'm just feeling so much better, well rested and fit. I hope M'Lady is doing pawsome as well."

Plagg just groaned at the lovesick dork and got back to enjoying his extra piece of cheese.
Adrien got his tablet out to finish some homework that Nino had sent him.  Not worrying about a thing at all.

While Marinette was designing some clothes and Adrien doing some homework late in the evening, Sandboy had been akumatized. Many people were already asleep so the Akuma alert didn't come.

The teens were both getting ready for bed when the akuma was already giving people their worst nightmares.

Marinette was only laying in bed for half a minute, when weird purple glitters sprinkled her. She didn't notice it, but when a creepy Adrien suddenly bursted through her trapdoor, haunting her with telling her that he was in love with Lila, she jumped up and screamed before climbing out of her skylight. She climbed on her balcony and locked the hatch. That's when she saw him flying again, Sandboy, sprinkling everyone with their worst nightmares.

Sandboy had affected enough people by the time Marinette had been too, that's when an akuma alert had finally been sent out to the citizens of Paris. Adrien got the message too. He sighed and got ready to fight this annoying and dangerous akuma.

~~•~~

"Tikki, I cannot get sprinkled by Sandboy as Ladybug! I'll lose my powers again. I hate this akuma"

"Don't worry Marinette! You're now prepared and know what'll happen, you got this, I believe in you!

"Thanks Tikki, you're the best"

~~•~~

"You better not get sprinkled by that guy kid, or you'll have a creepy Ladybug haunting you again."

"I won't Plagg, I don't ever want to see that thing again. There's nothing worse that could appear than mean Ladybug."

Oh how wrong Adrien was...

~~•~~

"Tikki,spots on!!"

Plagg, claws out!!"

There they went, ready to fight their worst nightmares...
