Start Over

Chapter 3

In her room, Marinette asked in despair, "Tikki, what am I going to do? He's Chat Noir but he's Adrien!"

Tikki shakes her head, "Marinette the choice is up to you now. You are the guardian."

"I shouldn't even hang with him anymore He might be able to put the puzzle pieces together!" Marinette says in a panic tone.

"Right," Tikki eye rolled in an annoyed tone, "Wouldn't want him to figure it out."

"I can't believe he's Chat Noir!" Marinette groaned into her pillow.

"Is it so bad that it's Adrien?" Tikki asked.

"Yes! Tikki you don't understand that this whole time I liked Adrien...I mean use too cause he's just a friend. Who I now realize was my crush that as Ladybug I denied him. But in a weird way, I can't with Chat Noir because he is a flirtatious clown. But I'm now figuring out that he was never going to like me. Because he was in love with LADYBUG!" Marinette says. 

"You do know that's you," Tikki stated.

"But how can I compete with myself! He's in love with my alter ego! I'm just clumsy Marinette!"Marinette whined.

"Hey sugarcube how is the" Plagg announces himself as he phased into the wall to see Marinette with her hands on her head, "Cute, she's a mess."

"Plagg!" Marinette yelled in a panic tone, "What are you doing here? Tikki it's too late he found out my identity!"

"Wow, Mari is really not taking it well," Plagg says calmly says as he sat on the chair next to Tikki.

"You're telling me?" Tikki sighed.

"------Doesn't know your secret. He's as clueless as your crush on him," Plagg states as he munch on a cheese that he brought.

"See Plagg still can't say his name," Tikki reassured.

"Does everyone know I had a crush on him?" Marinette explained as she shut the window to avoid being seen with the kwamis.

"Had? What's with her?" Plagg asked Tikki in confusion.

"She still trying to think of him as just a friend," Tikki sighed.

"Ahhh."

"Plagg what are you doing here?" Marinette asked in a distressed tone, "Is Adrien in danger? Are you sure no one followed you?"

"Sugarcube, I think she's officially in looney town," Plagg floated up to Marinette and offer his cheese, "Want some camembert? It usually brings people back to their senses."

"Plagg!" Tikki and Marinette yelled.

"Relaxx I wasn't really gonna share. Your lover boy, partner, a friend wants to know what's up with you," Plagg states as he munches his cheese, "You weren't responding to that cat alarm."

"She threw it in her closet," Tikki explained as she flew to pull it out from under a pile of fabric to silence it.

"Uh, tell him I was busy with guardian duties," Marinette replies quickly before falling on her bed face forward, "I might as well avoid him at this point unless it heroes work."
