Ahh! This is Chapter One of Partners in Crime, and I am super excited! To help me, I have Origins: Part One on right now, so I am just- ahhhhhh! I can't explain how excited I am.

Anyways, let's get on with it!

I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir in anyway, shape, or form.

Miraculous; the foundation of superheroes. You see, there are a couple of Miraculous, but the two most important are the ring of the black cat, and the earrings of the Ladybug.

These two go hand in hand with each other, and is quite similar to Yin and Yang. These two accessories together give ultimate power, which is probably why someone like Hawkmoth would want it; for power.

Nobody knows his motives though with the ring; which is why it's a mystery why he would want to use his powers for evil and not the good. He could be working with the two superheroes of Paris, Ladybug and Chat Noir, but instead he decides against it.

Here is their story.

"Marinette! Your alarm has been going on for fifteen minutes! You're going to be late for your first day back at school!" Sabine yelled at her daughter from downstairs.

Marinette lazily turned off her phone's alarm and pushed off the pink and black covers of her bed. "Got it, mom." She groaned.

She headed out of her room and made her way down her white steps. "Coming." She kissed her mom on the cheek and sat down at her family's dining table, where her breakfast was waiting for her.

"I bet you anything Chloe's going to be in my class again." Marinette complained, pouring milk into her cereal bowl. She set the carton down and picked up the choco powder.

"Four years in a row? Is that even possible?" Sabine turned around from what she was doing to look at her daughter, who was depositing some power into her milk.

"Definitely." She continued to dump some powder in the bowl. "Lucky me!"

Sabine continued to stir whatever she was cooking. "Don't say that, it's a start of a new year! I'm sure everything will be just fine."

Marinette smiled gratefully at her mother, then set her choco powder a little bit too hard next to the fruit bowl. Marinette's grin turned into a frown as an orange rolled down a knife, into the butter, knocking the milk down.

Then, it tumbled over the banana, and somehow the powder fell down too.

Lastly, it strikes the yogurt, and Marinette looked at it in disbelief as her mother came over to help clean it up.

Sabine rubbed her daughter's cheek, causing Marinette to calm down.

Tom Dupain-Cheng hummed the French National Anthem and showed his daughter a bunch of pistachio macarons loaded in a box. "Dad! These are so awesome!" Marinette squealed.

"Glad you like them!" Tom grinned, closing the box.

"Thank you dad, my class will love them, you're the best!" Marinette said as her dad handed her the box with the macarons. She took the box with two hands, and smiled gratefully at her dad.

"We're the best!" Tom rubbed her daughter's head and picked up a notepad with her design. "Thanks to your amazing designs."

The bluenette looked at the design for a few seconds, then she reached up and hugged Tom, and accidentally dropped the macarons. "Oops!" Tom chuckled, catching the box with his foot. He picked it up and handed it to Marinette.

She took the box and balanced it on her forearm. "Thanks, see you tonight!" She ran out of the bakery's doors, and to the crosswalk.

As she made her way to the crosswalk, a old man using a cane for support didn't seem to run when a car was heading his way, and the car didn't even show signs of stopping!

Marinette looked between the car and the man, and chose to rescue the poor man in the Hawaiian shirt.

She ran over to him, grabbed him by the cane, and made her way back to the sidewalk.

"Bleh!" She uttered, dropping the macaron box. She dropped to the ground and started to pick up the little treats.

The old man leaned on his cane. "Thank you, miss!" He looked over at Marinette who was trying to retrieve all the macarons. "Oh, what a disaster."

The crosswalk turned green, and people started to walk on the macarons without even noticing it. Marinette flinched as a shoe stepped on a still good macaron. She looked over at the box, and made sure all the remaining macarons were good.

"Don't worry, I'm no stranger to disasters. Besides, there are still a few left!" She offered the old man a macaron, and he graciously accepted.

He took a bite of the macaron, and smiled. "Delicious!"

She smiled back, and heard the school bell. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" She turned to the old man and bowed. "Have a nice day, sir!" She said quickly as she ran across the crosswalk and to the school.

He laughed to himself as he took a jewelry box out of his pant pocket. "Thank you very much, young lady." He said while looking at the small case.

Marinette ran swiftly across the basketball court, and into Madame Bustier's classroom where she was behind her desk. She put her hands on her knees and started panting.

Madame Bustier looked over at all over the students. "Nino, why don't you have a seat in the front row this year?"

Nino groaned as he slid out of the back seat and lazily made his way down the stairs and into the very front seat.

Marinette took her usual spot in the second row of the classroom, minding her own business, until someone slapped a hand on her desk. "Marinette Dupain-Cheng." Marinette raised her head to see Chloe, the mayor's daughter.

"Ugh, here we go again."

Chloe looked at Marinette smugly as she took her hand off the desk. "That's my seat!" She claimed.

"But Chloe, this has always been my seat!"

Sabrina slid into the seat next to Marinette and said, "Not anymore. New school, new year, new seats!"

"So why don't you just go and sit beside that new girl!" Chloe smirked, pointing to a dark reddish brown haired girl who was sitting in the front row, tapping away on her smartphone.

"But-"

Chloe cut her off quickly, putting her hands on her hips. "Look, Adrien's arriving today, and since that's going to be his seat," Chloe paused, pointing to the seat in front of Marinette, "This is going to be MY seat. Get it?"

"Who's Adrien?" Marinette asked.

Sabrina and Chloe laughed obnoxiously. Chloe turned to Sabrina, who displayed a look of triumph on her face. "Can you believe she doesn't know who ADRIEN is? What rock have you been living under?"

"He's only a famous model." Sabrina explained to Marinette.

"And I am his best friend- he adores me!" She turned back to Marinette. "Go on, move!"

The dark reddish brown haired girl snuck up behind Chloe. "Hey, who elected you Queen of Seats?"

Chloe laughed and turned to the new girl. "Look Sabrina, we have another little do-gooder in our class this year." Chloe got up in the new girl's face. "What are you gonna do, super newbie, shoot beams at me with your glasses?"

"Wouldn't you like to know." The new girl grabbed Marinette's arm. "Come on."

Marinette fell down on her way to her new seat, making her macarons fall. "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" She apologized to nobody in particular.

"Alright, has everyone found a seat?" Madame Bustier looked around her classroom momentarily.

"Chillax girl!" The new girl said to a glum Marinette. "No biggie!"

"I so wish I could handle Chloe the way you do!"

The reddish brown haired girl pointed to her phone. "You mean the way Majestia does it. She says, 'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing.'" The girl pointed to Chloe. "Well that girl over there is evil." She pointed to her and Marinette. "And we are the good people. We can't let her get away with it."

"Well that's easier said than done. She likes to make my life miserable."

"That's cause you let her, girl!" She proclaimed. "You just need more confidence!"

Marinette grabbed a good cookie from the box, and halved it. She gave one to the nice girl. "Marinette."

"Alya."

The two girls looked up at the teacher, who was explaining who she was. "For those of you who don't yet know me, I'm Madame Bustier. I'll be your teacher this year."

Chloe looked worryingly down at the seat in front of her. "Ugh, he should have been here by now."

"Adrien, please reconsider!" Nathalie yelled at her charge. "You know what your father wants!"

"But this is what I want to do!" Adrien countered, turning away only to see a old man trip. He runs over to the man and helps him up, smiling.

"Thank you, young man." Master Fu leans on his cane.

Adrien turns back to see Nathalie and his bodyguard the Gorilla. Walking towards them, he says, "I just want to go to school like everybody else, what's so wrong with that? Please don't tell my Father about this." He pleads as he is escorted back to his limo.

"Those of you who have P.E, Mr. D'Argencourt is expecting you at the stadium." Madame Bustier reminded her students. Some picked up their bags and left. "The rest of you can head over to the library.

Kim, a tall, athletic boy with the tips of his brown hair dyed blonde passed a note over to Ivan, who also had blonde tips. Ivan accepted the note and started reading it. "Kim!" He yelled angrily, making a fist.

"Ivan, what is going on?!" Madame Bustier questioned.

"It's Kim!" Ivan accused, pointing to the boy who was taken aback. "I'm so gonna get-"

"Ivan, go to the Principal's office." Madame Bustier interrupted sternly.

Ivan crushed up the note and took his backpack, as he heard people snickering behind him.

A window opened in a dark room, and white moths started flying around everywhere like crazy. "Negative emotions.." The villian said deviously. "This is perfect. Just what I need. Anger, sadness, burn a hole into his heart, my horrible Akuma." The tall man summoned a moth and turned it black with just a touch. "Fly away, my little Akuma, and evilize him!" He yelled as the little Akuma flew over Paris.

Ivan burst into the Principal's office door looking angry.

Mr. Damocles noticed this, and went back to his paperwork. "Excuse me, young man. Hasn't anyone ever taught you to knock? Go on, out you go, straight again!"

Ivan closed the door, and as soon as he did, the black butterfly infected the piece of crumpled up paper held in his hand. A light purple butterfly symbol appeared near his eyes.

"Stoneheart, I am Hawkmoth." A voice said. "I will give you the power to seek revenge on those who have wronged you."

Ivan smiled evilly. "Okay, Hawkmoth."

Inside the office, Mr. Damocles was waiting patiently for the student to knock. "Well, come on in!"

Instead of a teenage boy, a large, ugly, grey stone monster barged through the door, causing The Principal to be knocked off his seat. "Kimmmmmmm!" It groaned.

Inside the library, Alya and Marinette were looking at something on Alya's phone, until a big shake caused people to run and fall off of their seats.

"Ahh!" Marinette yelped, laying down on the ground.

Alya ran over to her and helped her up. "Come on!" She exclaimed, taking Marinette by the arm and the two of them ran to a screen to see what was going on.

"Did you see that?" A random kid asked.

Stoneheart was on the school sidewalk, destroying school grounds. He was still looking for Kim.

"Hello?" Mr. Damocles pressed the phone to his ear. "Is this the police? Get the army!"

"What's going on?" Marionette asked. "He has Ivan's voice?"

"It's as if he's been transformed into a real life super villian!" Alya gushed taking out her phone. "GPS? Check. Battery? Check. I am so outta here!" Alya ran to the door.

"Hey? Where are you going?" Marinette questioned.

Alya turned around and smiled. "Where there's a super villian, there's always a superhero close behind! No way I'm missing this!"

Marinette turned back to the screen and thought. What if Ivan had real been transformed into a scary monster? Then, Stoneheart threw a car at the security camera, causing the screen to fade away.

"Ahh!" Marinette flinched.

"Who was the first president of the fifth French Republic?" Nathalie asked, looking at her notes.

Adrien displayed a bored look on his face as he answered the question. "Everyone thinks it was De Gaulle, but it was actually Rene Couti before the first elections."

"Excellent, Adrien!" Nathalie praised.

"Give me a minute, would you Nathalie?" Gabriel Agreste, Adrien's father asked.

"Yes sir." Nathalie obeyed, standing in the corner of the room.

"You are not going to school, I've already told you."

Adrien looked in disbelief because he just realized Nathalie had not kept her promise of telling his Father.

It wasn't really a promise, because she didn't actually promise.

"But father-"

"Everything you need is right here where I can keep an eye on you. I will not have you outside in that dangerous world."

"It's not dangerous, Father. I'm always stuck in here by myself. Why can't I go on and make friends just like everybody else?"

"Because you are not like everyone else, you are my son!" Gabriel turned to his assistant. "Continue." He left the room.

Nathalie took a look at her notes. "We can leave it here today if you have-"

Adrien ran into his room, and stuffed his face in his pillow. "Ugh."

"THUMP!" A loud noise came from outside, and there were sirens. Adrien headed out into his balcony and looked out to see a stone thingy moving.

"KIM!" It yelled, grabbing a police van and throwing it at a police man.

Adrien headed back inside and hopped on his white couch. He grabbed his remote and turned on the TV.

"I'm asking all Parisians to stay home until th situation is under control." Mayor Bourgeois said to all the reporters near him.

The TV program switched back to the news reporter. "As incredible as it seems, it's been confirmed that Paris is indeed being attacked by a super villian. The police have been struggling to keep the situation under control."

The program switched to a red headed police officer with a cast on his right arm. "Be confident, the strong arm of the law will come crashing down on the-" He hit the arm with his cast as to mimick the crashing down part. "I mean, the other arm."

"I hate first days back at school!" Marinette complained, watching the story on her computer. She and Adrien both at the same time looked down to see a fancy Chinese box.

"What's this doing here?" They both asked, taking the boxes in their hands.

They both opened it up, and lights of green and red shone as two little Kwamis appeared in front of their faces.

"Ahh!" Marinette yelped, backing away from her desk. "Help!" She said, hugging a pole. "It's a giant bug! A mouse! A bug-mouse!"

"Everything's okay, don't be scared!" The Kwami said, flying towards the bluenette.

"Ahh, bug-mouse talks!" She yelled, throwing random things at the Kwami.

~(Adrien's house)

Adrien shielded his eyes from the light and looked surprised as a black cat came into vision. It yawned and Adrien pointed at it. "No way, it's like the genie in the lamp!"

"I met him once, so he grants wishes, big deal!" The Kwami stretched. "I'm way more personable! Plagg. Nice to meet you. Ooh, swanky." The Kwami flew over to the foosball table and started to try and eat the tiny human toys. "Oomph."

"No, don't touch that!" Adrien tried to grab Plagg, but he flew away. "Hey, come back here!"

"Ooh, it's so shiny! Can you eat this?" Plagg chomped on the red controller. "No, you can't. Ooh, what about this?"

~(Marinette's Room)

"Listen Marinette, I know everything may seem a bit strange to you,"

Marinette cupped the Kwami with a glass, and the Kwami seemed to be unaffected. "Okay, if that makes you feel safer!"

"What are you?" Marinette asked. "And how do you know my name?"

"I'm a Kwami, and my name is Tikki! Now just let me explain."

~(Adrien's Room)

Adrien climbed on the right side of his room, where there was a climbing wall. Plagg was trying to eat the remote, and then Adrien fell from above, onto the couch, capturing the Kwami.

"Ahh!"

"I still don't know what you're doing here."

"Look, I'm a Kwami, I grant powers. Yours is the power of destruction, got it?"

Adrien nodded and still didn't let Plagg go.

"Good, now got anything to eat? I'm starving!"

Adrien held up the Kwami to his face. "My dad's pranking me, right? Wait, he couldn't be, he has no sense of humor!"

Plagg wiggled his way free and flew up to Adrien's height. "Your father must never know that I exist, or anyone for that matter."

~(Marinette's Room)

"Mom!" Marinette screamed, opening the trapdoor. "Dad!"

"No, no, no, no, no!" Tikki teleports out of the glass, and goes in front of Marinette's face "I'm your friend, Marinette! You must trust me. You're the only one who can stop Stoneheart!"

Master Fu looks at the case one more time while his own Kwami talks to him. "Do you think they'll be up to it, Master?"

"I only got it wrong once. It will never happen again. At least I hope not."

"This is must be a mistake! The only superpower I could possibly have is super-awkwardness... I know! Alya would know! That's my friend. Well, at least I think she would... She loves superheroes! She'd totally be up for the job! You should totally go see her!" Marinette rambles.

"Marinette, you're the chosen one!" Tikki reasons.

~(Adrien's Room)

"But I'm stuck here! I'm not even allowed to go to school! What's good of a superhero that's imprisoned in his own house!" Adrien deadpans.

"No good!" Plagg says, balancing on a roll of toilet paper. "That's why it's all going to change soon! If you're willing to change, that is."

Adrien looks down at the white ring.

~(Marinette's Room)

"So all I have to do I break the object where the whatchama-call-it is hiding?" Marinette asks, putting on the earrings.

"It's called an Akuma, which you must capture." Tikki explains.

"Got it, capture it, and what's that charm thing again?"

"Your lucky charm, it's your secret superpower!"

Marinette slumps her shoulders. "This is all going too fast, Tikki! I- I- won't be able to pull this off!"

"Trust yourself, Marinette." Tikki reassures her. "Just say, Spots On!"

"Spots on?"

Marinette's earrings activate and Tikki is sucked into them. A few seconds later, she's Ladybug.

~(Adrien's Room)

Adrien slips on the white ring and Plagg pops his head out of the toilet paper roll. "Claws Out! That's how you transform."

"Got it. Plagg, Claws Out!"

"Wait, I haven't finished explainingggg-" Plagg tries to finish his sentence before his sucked into the ring, but he is too late, and a few seconds later, Adrien is transformed.

"Too cool!"

~(Marinette's Room)

"How does thing even come off?" Marinette asks herself as she looks in the mirror. "Tikki! If you can hear me, I want my normal clothes back. I'm not going anywhere-"

Marinette is cut off by the sound of the news.

"Stoneheart is heading towards the Montparnasse tower. The monster seems to be unstoppable!"

A girl that looks like Alya appears on the screen, chasing Stoneheart.

"Alya?" Marinette gasps.

"Marinette! Did you get home okay?" Sabine asks downstairs.

"Uhh, yeah mom, just super!" Marinette runs up the stairs to her balcony, just as Sabine pops her head through the trapdoor.

"Marinette? You in here? Tom, we better call the school."

Ladybug looks around her sash. "Okay, I have special powers! And apparently this amazing super yo-yo thingy?" She grabs the yoyo, and latches it onto a gargoyle statue. She lets go and it flips her over to the other side.

"I'm starting to get the hang of this." Chat Noir says, walking on a pole. He hears a cry for help and looks up only to see a red a black clothed girl headed his way.

"Well hey there, nice of you to drop in." He flirts while she tries to untangle to two of them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."

She got the two of them untangled and back on their feet. "I bet you're the partner my Kwami told me about. I'm.. Chat Noir. Yeah, Chat Noir. And you?"

Her yoyo hits the top of his head and flinches a tiny bit. "I am so sorry- oh, right! My name is Marinette."

"It's okay. My real name is Adrien, by the way. But what's your superhero name?" He asks.

"Ladybug. In the masks, we're Chat Noir and Ladybug, but outside of that, we're Adrien and Marinette. Deal?" She puts out a hand.

"Deal, My Lady." Chat takes her hand and kisses it.

As Chat Noir kissed Ladybug's hand, the two of them heard a rumble that shook the whole city. Chat Noir summoned his staff and catapulted himself onto a building. "Hey, wait, where are you going?" Ladybug asked in confusion as Chat Noir turned around.

He smiled and did a two finger salute. "To save Paris, right?"

Ladybug looked down at her yoyo. "Trust yourself, trust yourself!" She reminded herself as she swung her yoyo and latched it on to a chimney. She let go. "Ahh!"

Kim picked up his backpack and started to head out the gym doors- but a giant monster calling his name stopped him. "KIMMMM!" It screamed, and the remaining people except him ran out of the gym.

"SO, WHO'S THE WUSS NOW?" Stoneheart screamed, stopping Kim in his tracks.

Stoneheart made his way from the top of the building to the floor of it, and ran towards Kim, who was already running himself.

Kim fell and shielded himself with his arm, before he heard a clank on the ground.

"Hey!" The boy in cat suit yelled. "It's not very nice to pick on people who are smaller than you."

"I GUESS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF." Stoneheart shot back, getting ready to hit Chat Noir with his stone arm.

Chat Noir dodged it and rolled over, just as Stoneheart was about to pummel him.

"Everything is going according to plan. Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculouses have been activated. Here they come to save the day, and now my super villain will destroy them!" Hawkmoth made a fist, and continued to watch the fight through his screen window.

Chat Noir jumped above Stoneheart's head and got ready to pound his staff into the monster. It failed, and the superhero just bounced back, as a yellow light appeared around Stoneheart, making him grow stronger.

Stoneheart stomped his foot on the ground and made an angry face. "Where are you, partner?" Chat Noir asked, jumping because Stoneheart smashed his fist on the ground.

Ladybug was watching from the top of the gym, just waiting for something to happen. She looked in worry as Chat Noir almost got hit again by the stone creature. "No, I can't, I'm not going to be able to do it!" She cried as she put her hands over her eyes.

Chat Noir dodged the soccer goal Stoneheart threw at him, and as it was about to hit Alya, he whipped out his staff threw it so it would bounce back. The staff came back to him like a boomerang.

Since he was momentarily distracted by his new staff, he didn't notice that Stoneheart was grabbed him. "What are you waiting for, super red bug- the world is watching you!" Alya yelled at Ladybug.

Ladybug stared at the caramel skinned girl for a few seconds, deciding if she should do something or not. Then, she finally snapped out of it with a determined look on her face. She clutched her yoyo and threw it to the ground, sliding between Stoneheart's legs. She stopped herself before she fell flat on her face.

"Animal cruelty? How shameful!" She said, wrapping her yoyo around Stoneheart's legs and pulling it, causing him to let go of Chat Noir. He fell face down to the ground, and Chat Noir was safely inside a soccer goal.

"Sorry it took so long, Chat Noir." She said, helping him up.

Chat brushed off the dirt on his suit. "It's cool, Wonderbug. Now let's kick his rocky behind!"

"It's Ladybug." She said, glaring at him for a second.

He apologized, and the two of them looked back at the monster who was on his feet again. He ran towards the stone monster without a plan, making Ladybug pull on his tail. "Wait!" She let go of his tail. "Haven't you noticed? He gets bigger and stronger with every attack. We have to do something different."

"Different how?" Chat questioned, waiting for a response.

"Uhh.. I don't know!" Ladybug confessed, rubbing her chin.

"Okay then! Let's use our powers!" He held up his ring. "Catalysm!"

His right glove suddenly had a black spotted outline around it, and he had a smirk on his face as he looked at his right hand. "Apparently, I destroy whatever I touch." He bragged, looking smug at Ladybug.

"I don't need a super power to destroy everything." She complained, crossing her arms.

Chat Noir had a grin on his face as he touched the goal post, and it suddenly turned to rust. "No, don't!" She warned, but the goal post already fell apart.

"Cool!" He exclaimed, looking at his hand. He turned back to the stone monster. "It's just you and me now!" He yelled, heading for the monster. "Time to rumble, soon to be rubble!"

"Chat Noir, wait!"

Chat Noir jumped to the bottom of Stoneheart's feet, lightly touching it. He waited for a second for him to crumble, but nothing happened. He tried once more. "Uh oh. I guess I only get one shot to use my power." He chuckled.

He got kicked back to Ladybug's side, who had her hands on her hips. "And you only have five minutes before you transform back! Didn't your Kwami explain anything to you!?"

Chat Noir grinned cheekily as he put his hands behind his head. "I guess I was a little excited about my new life."

Ladybug crossed her arms. "Well, it's up to me!" She threw her yoyo in the air. "LUCKY CHARM!" She yelled, and in her hands was a ladybug printed suit.

"Your super power.." Chat Noir trailed off, his eyes widened at the suit.

"My Kwami told me I have to break the object- where the whatchama-call-it... Er, the Akuma is hiding."

Chat Noir pointed a finger up. "Well, he's made entirely out of stone."

"His right hand! It's still closed! He never opens it! It's like the russian dolls- the object isn't on him, it's hidden in his fist!"

"So what's your plan?"

A ladybug design highlighted Stoneheart's fist, Alya, who was recording, and a hose.

"This!" Ladybug says, hooking the hose up to the suit. She wraps her yoyo around Chat Noir's legs. "Don't resist, trust me!" She spins him around and around, and finally let's go- Chat Noir is caught in Stoneheart's fist.

"This girl's crazy!" Chat yells in terror.

"Catch me if you can!" Ladybug taunts, jumping over Stoneheart's head with the suit and the hose.

He lets go of the paper to catch Ladybug- and he doesn't realize this at all.

"And now- ALYA, THE TAP!" Ladybug screams.

Alya runs over to the tap and turns it on- and soon the suit is filled up with water, causing Ladybug to be released. She runs over and steps on the piece of paper, causing the butterfly to fly out.

Stoneheart is soon turned back to Ivan, and Chat Noir is released. "This girl is awesome. She's crazy awesome!" Chat says to himself.

Ladybug looks up in triumph at the butterfly, the looks down at her hand to see the black paper turned back into white.

"What's going on? What am I doing here?" Ivan asks, looking around.

"You were incredible, Ladybug. You did it!"

"We both did it, partner."

"POUND IT!" The two of them bump fists, and Chat's ring beeps.

"See you later, My Lady." He teasingly kisses her hand, and jumps up and out of the gym.

Ladybug smiles at him for a moment, then looks down at the ground to see the piece of paper."Huh?" She picks up the crumpled up piece of paper and unravels it to read it. "You don't even have the guts to tell Mylene you love her, wuss!" It reads. She feels sorry for Ivan, and begins to walk towards him.

"Kim wrote it." Ivan explains. "He's always making fun of me."

"You know, you shouldn't get so bent out of shape about that. There's no shame in telling someone you love them, Ivan."

"Hey, how do you know my name, Miss?"

"Uh, um?"

"Uncanny, amazing, spectacular!" Alya claps, praising Ladybug. "Are you going to be protecting Paris from now on? How did you get your powers? Were you stung by a radioactive Ladybug? Oh, I've got a ton of questions to ask you, Miss, uh.."

"Ladybug. Call me Ladybug!" Ladybug says to the camera. Her earrings beep, and she yoyo's her way out of the gym, hoping to catch the boy named Adrien.

She sees a boy who looks like Chat Noir outside, and she hides out in an alley to retransform before she meets him. Once she's done with that, she approaches the handsome boy. "Adrien, right?" She asks.

He smiles at her, and shakes her hand. "Yup, Marinette, right?"

"Yup." She smiles back, and pulls out her phone, which has an Eiffel Tower on it. "What's your number? I mean, we are friends now, right?"

He pulls out his phone, which has a striped blue and white design. "Of course!" They trade phones and enter in each other's numbers. She adds in where she lives, and email, and he does the same.

Their Kwamis peek out of their hiding spots, and Adrien notices Tikki right away. "Is this your Kwami?" He asks.

"Yeah, her name is Tikki. Where's yours?"

Plagg flies out subtly so only the two of them can see. "I'm Plagg! Hey, where's Tikki?"

"She's in my bag." Marinette explains, and Plagg flies back inside Adrien's jacket.

Marinette and Adrien trade back phones, and Marinette is surprised when she see his last name. "Woah!" She whisper yells. "Your last name is Agreste, as in ADRIEN Agreste?"

"Uh, maybe?"

She suddenly has a look of fangirling-ness on her face, and he know that look- so he's annoyed at once."Oh. My. Lord. I am a huge fan! I mean, of course I am, your father is my IDOL! Did I mention I like to design? I don't know if I did! BUT, YOU'RE-"

He covers his hand over her mouth as she shoots him an annoyed look. She pries his hand off. "Sorry, I can't have people surrounding me!" He reasons.

"Right!" She remembers that his dad is a famous fashion designer, and a lot of people would hold him for ransom for money. "Sorry."

"It's fine." He waves her off.

"Wait, Adrien Agreste? Isn't that Chloe's friend?" She thinks.

She puts her hands on her hips and confronts him. "Aren't you Chloe's friend?"

"Chloe? As in the Mayor's daughter? I guess." A faint blush lights his face.

"She pushed me out of my seat so she could sit behind you!"

"That sounds just like her." He murmurs. "I don't want to be rude to her. She was my only friend, until now, but I've got you."

"Why didn't you come into school?" She asks curiously, but she tones it down a bit because she doesn't want to seem nosy.

"My dad doesn't think it would be a good idea. Speaking of which, I better get going- it's almost time for dinner!" He does the two finger salute he did as Chat, and he and Marinette run off in opposite directions.

Okay guys, I hope you enjoyed chapter one! If you guys aren't new to this story, I have laced them all together because I know how frustrating it can be...

Whateves, enjoy!
