Ladybug and Chat Noir landed on the first floor of the Bourgeois residence for the fifth time in a week. Honestly, they were starting to know the hotel far better than they should ever, and it was getting on Ladybug's nerves. With narrowed eyes, she found her target and ignored the three beeps from her earrings.

The hero stomped over to Chloe, grabbing her arm and spinning her around. Chloe's eyes went wide and she hung up her phone, "Ah, Ladybug! This is becoming such a regular thing; you just have to stay longer!"

"Um, no," Ladybug removed the girl's arms from around her neck when she clung. "You have to calm down with this whole queen bee thing. You're akumatizing people faster than we can even recharge, and it needs to stop!"

"Oh, what are you talking about? Everyone loves me! This can't be my fault!" She winked when Chat came to stand beside Ladybug, but the catboy ignored her.

"Newsflash, Chloe! Not everyone loves you, and 90% of the time, akuma attacks are your fault!" Ladybug continued to yell, finally catching the blonde girl off guard. "You think you're so high and mighty, but this behavior just caused your own dad to be akumatized! All because you wanted another handbag!"

"…It was cute and he said no…" Chloe whimpered.

"Who cares?!" Ladybug yelled, flailing her arms. "You care so much about yourself that you can't see how much you hurt literally everyone around you!" Her eyes were narrowed, and Chloe thought the hero was going to slap her, but Chat Noir stepped in.

"OK, OK, your Miraculous has beeped four times now, it's time to go, My Lady," he said, tugging Ladybug away. She glowered and tugged her yoyo off her side, casting it onto a pipe outside.

"Just grow up, Chloe, because right now, you're a worse villain than anyone we've ever fought."

With those last words, Ladybug disappeared. Chat stood awkwardly beside the remaining girl, who was too stunned to actually say anything. Her face was flushed, and she couldn't seem to decide between narrowing her eyes in anger or widening them in surprise. "Chat Noir, I'm not that bad, am I?" she asked slowly, looking to the cat hero for reassurance.

"I mean you do cause a lot of people to turn evil…" Chat said, scratching the back of his head. His ring beeped its final warning, and he apologized before running off, leaving a confused Chloe Bourgeois to stomp off to her bedroom.


Once in her room, Chloe grabbed her laptop and flopped onto her bed. She pulled up the Ladyblog and searched the archive of akumas. There were so many, more than she ever realized. Then, she noticed there was a list of causes, and gasped at how many were from her.

Evillustrator, Roger Cop, Lady Wifi, Dark Cupid, Reflekta, Timebreaker, Horrificator, Kung Food, Invisible One. All her fault, in one way or another.

How had she never noticed? Chloe shoved the laptop away from herself, curling into herself and hugging her legs. She wasn't a bad person! Everyone loved her! They thought she was beautiful, funny, smart!

A video began to play, and the horrified screech of "Where's Chloe?!" from several different villains filled her room. Her own screams followed the calls, as well as several Lucky Charms and Cataclysms. Tears filled her eyes with the video, and realization filled her.

She was more of a villain than any of those people. She was awful.

The sound of wings came closer, and Chloe snapped her head up, fearing a tell-tale dark butterfly. She didn't want to bother Ladybug again! But, instead of an akuma, a very large bee fluttered in her room.

"AHHHH!" Chloe shouted, hopping off her bed as she reached for the nearest pair of ugly shoes. "Out, out, out!" she squealed, swatting at the bee.

"Hey, hey!" the bee spoke, "Watch it!"

"You can speak?!" Chloe gasped, dropping the shoes in favor of running away. "Wh-what is going on?!" She hid in her closet, heart pounding. Though, the longer she thought about it, she didn't really feel scared. Surprised, yes, definitely. But…this large talking bee didn't really scare her like it should have. She snuck a peak out from her closet, only to come face-to-face with the bee. "AHH!" she screeched again, falling back into a pile of shoe boxes.

"Jeez, kid, calm down!" the bee spoke again.

"How can I?! You're a bee and you're talking to me!"

"OK, first thing, I'm not a bee. I'm a kwami! Buzzi is the name!"

Now she truly was confused. She had so many questions, but decided to start with the least important one. "What's a kwami…?"

"Glad you asked!" Buzzi circled closer, "Do you know who Ladybug and Chat Noir are?" Chloe nodded slowly, and the kwami did a back flip, "Terrific! You just made this job easier!" it exclaimed. "You see, they both have one of me, too. Well, not ones that look like me. Chat Noir's is an annoying little cat, and Ladybug's is a very adorable little pink ladybug-esque thing. They all correlate with what kind of powers that holder receives!"

"So…whoever has you would be a bee, right?" Chloe tried, slightly proud at putting those pieces together.

"Boy, aren't you a bright one!"

Well, that stung a bit. Hah, get it? Stung?

"Why are you here, then?" Chloe asked, figuring she should start asking the important questions.

"You, Chloe Bourgeois, are my new Chosen! My old one is gone, sadly, but it's been almost a year, so I figured I should go find you!" Buzzi explained.

"What?!" Chloe screeched. She got to her feet and starting pacing her room. "I can't be a super hero! I don't know what to do! This would be a disaster; besides, Paris already has Ladybug and Chat Noir!"

Buzzi sighed and pinched the bridge of her tiny nose, "Do you think they knew what to do when they first got their kwamis? They had to train, learn their powers, and grow and mature. You'll be no different."

One word of that caught Chloe's attention especially: grow. That's what Ladybug said she needed to do, right? Maybe this whole thing could be exactly what she needed! Chloe spun around to face Buzzi, crossing her arms, "OK, what do I do, then?" she asked, a new excitement bubbling in her chest.

Buzzi, pleased, flew back out the balcony doors quickly, returning with a plain silver-gray hairclip. The piece was shaped much like a tiara, but the clasp at the back made it obvious what it was for. "This," Buzzi started, dropping the hairclip in Chloe's hands, "is your Miraculous. You will use this to transform when something goes wrong."

Chloe rolled the piece over in her hands, "How does it work?" she asked. She'd seen Ladybug and Chat Noir's, which were earrings and a ring.

"I get pulled into that, and you use my energy to fight. It's magic," Buzzi explained. "Care to try it out?"

Chloe nodded, pulling her hair out of its normal hairband and replacing it with the Miraculous. "What do I do?" she asked.

"You need to call me into it, just say Transform Me! and I'll take it from there."

Chloe nodded and took a deep breath. This was her moment. This was how she could redeem herself, fix her mistakes. Maybe becoming a hero would right the too-many wrongs she committed. "Buzzi, transform me!" she all but squealed.

Buzzi was pulled into the hairclip, and energy spilled over Chloe from her head to her feet. She swiped at her face, palm to her eyes, and with a snap, a bright yellow mask covered the top half of her face. Then a tight suit swept over her normal clothes. The suit was the same color of yellow as her mask, but was coupled with thick black stripes above her waist. The strands of hair pulled out by her ears grew longer, but still curled at their ends gracefully.

A scepter appeared at her side, though it was strange. When Chloe held it in her hands, it went limp as a wet noodle. The crystal inside was so shiny, and the actual scepter itself was solid gold. So, the fact that it was limp in her hands confused her greatly.

"What's wrong with this thing…?" she asked, brow furrowed. Then, just as she spoke, it stiffened. And grew. The scepter's end took off and tilted her bed up on the headboard. "Wah!" she screeched, falling to her feet in surprise. It retracted, jumping with the force and rattling on the hardwood floor. "Wow…"

Chloe got to her feet, picking the scepter up and sticking it to her side for it to wrap around her waist strangely. She looked in the full length mirror in her closet, gasping at her own reflection. It was so different! She barely even recognized herself! That made her wonder how different Chat Noir and Ladybug looked without their costumes…

She looked at her hands as Buzzi released the transformation and fell into the bare palms. "Have fun?" Buzzi snickered.

"That was…great…" Chloe said with a small smile. She already felt tougher, calmer, more like a better person. And she hadn't even done anything yet.

"Well, then, you're now Reine Abeille!" Buzzi cheered. She fluttered up to Chloe's face, nuzzling against her happily.

Chloe's face dropped some. She wasn't fond of the name, considering that her being a 'queen bee' is part of the reason she was such a bad person. But, maybe she could turn the title around? Then everyone would have to forgive her for snarling when using the name! Ha!

"Oh, by the way, you can't tell anyone about this."

"What? Why?!" Chloe stomped childishly.

"Because, you might endanger someone!" the kwami answered. "Do you want someone to get hurt just because you couldn't keep those glossy lips shut?!"

The tone took her aback slightly, "Well…no…"

"Alright then!" Buzzi zipped over to the girl's bed and made herself comfortable. "By the way, I've had a long flight over here from London, so be a dear and get me something to eat."

Chloe crossed her arms, smirking, "What? Does the little bee need some honey?"

Buzzi snorted and shook her head, "Does this fat body look like it survives on honey alone? Peppers! I need peppers!"

"Peppers?"

"Preferably chili peppers, but I will accept jalapenos or bell peppers, as well."

Chloe looked at the little bee kwami as she made herself comfortable. Buzzi was quite cute now that she took a good look at her. She was tiny, only about as big as Chloe's hands, and her head made up most of her size. Though, she was quite chubby. Her fuzzy body had to long antennae that came off the top of her head, though they were obviously not the same antennae that an actual bee would have. No, they were cuter.

"Hey, chop, chop! I'm starving over here!"

The only thing that made her lose cuteness points was how bossy and rude she was.

If you've seen the stuff with Chloe becoming a Miraculous Holder and how she's very bee-themed, then this probably makes sense. If you haven't...well, thanks for clicking anyway! Hopefully you're intrigued!

I feel like Chloe needs more of a redemption arc, so this is my attempt.
