Advertisement
Let's fast forward to Monday of the second month. The weekend is over and it's time for things to be stirred up again. Over these past two days the Miraculous team has:
-Gotten Max, Alix, and Kim together
-Mari, Lila, and Chloe have fangirled over their letters, poems, and gifts
-Alix has given her Miraculous back to Marinette until they have deemed herself worthy
-They've talked shit on their former friends and blocked them
-Given themselves glow ups and new styles
-Gotten Luka and Kagami into their school for a trial period
Present:
Chloe: How is everyone liking their new styles?
She asks them while she finishes up curling her hair.
Nathaniel: I will be honest, I didn't think I would like it this much. It's working for me.
Alix: Honestly same! I did not think suspenders would be working for me!
Ivan: I might consider making this my new normal.
Juleka: Me too...
Juleka: I think it looks good.
Nino: I think so too-
He freezes as he realizes that he said that out loud and everyone is now looking at him.
Nino: Ignore me!
Alix: How about we-
Nino: I said, "ignore!"
Kim: Kinda feeling this new look.
Max: Me too!
Kagami: It's...not bad...
Luka: Looking good!
Kagami: You too...
Lila: I like it!
Juleka: Hurry up Mari! We will leave without you if you aren't here in 10 minutes!
Lila: I've gotta get there early anyway! Gotta go, see you!
Everyone: Later Lila!
They all sit around Chloe's room waiting for Marinette, keeping a close eyes on their clocks to make sure they aren't late.
Chloe: MARINETTE! HURRY UP, WE GOTTA GO!
Everyone starts leaving and Marinette comes hopping out with their bag in hand and a croissant in their mouth, putting their letter from Kacey in the front pocket and tying a pink ribbon in their hair.
Marinette: I'M READY! I'M READY! I'M NOT WALKING ALONE! I WILL NOT RISK RUNNING INTO THE SPINELESS COWARD!
Chloe: Lila's ready, let's go!
Marinette: Yeah, alright! And Nino...
Nino: Yeah?
Marinette: I heard everything.
Nino: H-huh!?
His face turns red and he stands at the door while everyone else starts walking.
Juleka: C'mon before you're late!
Nino: Huh...?
She walks back to the room, grabs his hand and drags him with her to the school hurrying to catch up with the rest of the group.
They finally make it to school to see everyone waiting for them.
Juleka: Uhm Nino...
Nino: Yeah?
Juleka: You can let go of my hand now...
Nino: Huh?
He looks down and sees that he is still holding her hand.
Nino: O-oh!
He lets her hand go and everyone stands there laughing until the bell rings and its time for them to go to class.
Kagami and Luka go to Miss Mendeleiev's classroom and wave goodbye to their friends. Marinette and her protection squad stand outside the classroom and prepare for what's on the other side of the door.
They all take a long breathe and walk into the classroom together to be greeted with a sobbing Lila covered in "bruises" and glares from everyone in the room.
Adrien: And just when we thought you'd change.
Lila: I-i-it w-w-was h-h-horrible! I-I w-was g-going to b-b-bring M-Marinette and e-e-everyone else s-s-some t-ticets f-for Jagged- Jagged Stone's c-concert! That's when I was pulled into an alley! M-Marinette and h-her f-friends beat me up! I-I didn't k-k-know who it was at first but her ski mask slipped off and- and I got a look at the face!

Alya tries to go slap Marinette, but Alix steps in front of them and gets hit instead.
Max+Kim: Alix!
Marinette: Alix, are you ok!?
Alix: Yeah, I'm good! You're not gonna touch her, Cesaire!
Alya: You and what army!? Only a whore would date two guys at the same time!
Max: You little-
Alix: And only a slut would sleep with someone that isn't their boyfriend!
Kim: Hold on what now?
He grabs Alix's hand and drags her to one of the empty seats and sits her down.
Alix: What are you-
Kim: Spill.
Alix: Ok? So, Nino, you dated Alya for what? 5 months?
Alya: 6 1/2 actually!
Nino: It was that long? Ew!
Marinette: Nino!
Alix: So, two months after they started dating, Alya slept with Adrien. Yeah, that's right! Alya cheated on Nino, and Adrien covered it up! And guess what else?
Alya: Alix, stop!
Alix: Yeah, no.
Nino: What else Alix?
Alix: Alya got pregnant!
Everyone looks at Adrien and Alya and they both go red from both anger and embarrassment.
Alix: She had an abortion a month after she found out, and had all the girls cover it up by saying she was just bloated!
Nino: Wow, and you're bashing Marinette?
Adrien: It was a mistake-
Nino: I don't wanna hear ANYTHING from you! You had a part to play in it! I'm still trying to figure out how you believe all that bullshit spraying out of Lila's mouth!
Adrien: It's not bullshit and she isn't a liar!
Max: Here we go again! How could she have saved Jagged Stone's kitten, if he's had an alligator since he was 5?
Lila: W-why are you all being so mean? I only wanted to be your guys' friend!
She starts fake crying again gaining sympathy from her following sheep.
Rose: I can't believe you're siding with the bullies, Juleka! I thought you loved me!
Rose starts crying and Mylene tries to comfort her.
Nathaniel: If I remember correctly, wasn't it you that broke up with her?
Juleka: It was so I don't know why she's so upset.
Alix: Word on the web is that Rose dated Juleka out of pity and was secretly going out with Prince Ali. Can you confirm this Rose?
Adrien: Alix, stop someone's gonna get Akumatized!
Max: That's it!
He lunges and tries to beat up Adrien, but he is restrained by Alix and Kim.
Kim: Max, calm down!
Max: He has shit to talk, then he has hands to fight with! Let me go!
Alix: We can't do-
Rose: AKUMA!
They all look and see and Akuma flying into the classroom through the window right toward Max.
Max: I have an idea!
He grabs the Akuma and shoves it into his watch earning multiple gasps from his classmates.
Hawkmoth: Gamer 3.0 I am-
Max: Shove it, Hawkmoth! I don't care, nor do I want your stupid power! I'm tired of you! You're a fucking coward just like Agreste! You hide behind some stupid magical transmission and terrorize kids for a living! Hear that? KIDS! We are KIDS and we have to deal with a butterfly themed terrorist running around! No one gives two fucks about you or the "pOwEr" you could give them, so shut the fuck up and go away!
The Akuma flies away purified and Max faces his friends with a smug look on his face.
Max: And that, my friends, is how you avoid Akumatization! Who's the man?

Alix and Max hoist him up and start tossing him in the air.
Kim: Who's the man?
MPS: He's the man!
Alix: Who's the man?
MPS: He's the-
Sabrina: So you're working with Hawkmoth!?
The MPS looks at her like she's crazy and Max almost falls, but is caught in time.
Alix: Sorry about that...!
Ivan: He busted his ass to make sure we weren't Akumatized and you say he's working with Hawkmoth!? Are you stupid?
Adrien: Where is Mrs. Bustier?
Nino: Don't try and change the subject dude, Sabrina started it!
Lila: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make anyone get Akumatized!
Alya: We don't have to worry about those bullies girl! Their all just jealous!
Lila: Thanks Alya, I know most of them are jealous of the celebrities I know, so I'll choose to forgive them.
Adrien: Wow, Lila, you have a heart of pure gold.
Alya: He's right!
Sabrina: Those bullies don't deserve your forgiveness!
Mylene: She's right, Lila! You're just too sweet!
Rose: You really are!
Alya: See Mari-brat? When will you just grow up and stop being a jealous bully? All over a boy? Are you serious?
Chloe: I'm not seeing why she would like Adrien, since she already likes someone else.
Marinette: Chlo!
Chole: Whoops! I'm sorry!
Alya: You have Luka and she has Adrien, so you don't have to be jealous!
Marinette: Who said I even liked Luka?
Alya: You- you did! You even dated him!
Marinette: I know what I did, and yes, I did date him. But then I realized I didn't like him I liked the idea of him. I told him and he understood and we stayed friends. Besides, I already found out that he likes Kagami.
Alya: So, what does it matter? You're just jealous-
Marinette: Here we go again. I'm jealous! I'm a bully! But, Lila, is sooooo sweet! If I'm being honest here, I never liked you. You were always so biased!
Alya: W-what? B-but we're besties!
Marinette: NO! WE'RE NOT! You only need me to babysit for you, while you go off and sleep with God knows who, make clothes for you just because you can't start a business or sell things to make your own money and give you free food! All without me expecting anything in return!
Rose: Th-that's what you do, Marinette! You're our Everyday Ladybug!
Marinette: If I'm such an "Everyday Ladybug" like you say I am, then why am I reduced to malevolent, jealous bully in a day? You didn't even bother to get my side of the story! You just believe the first thing that comes out of anyone's mouth!
Sabrina: Because, Lila, said-
Marinette: I don't care! Adrien, who was the one that got your father you let up, so you could have the experience of going to school?
Adrien: ...you...
Marinette: Exactly! Alya, who's the one that busted her ass to make sure you got an interview with Ladybug for your vlog?
Alya: You, but-
Marinette: Exactly! Mylene, who was the one that helped you and Ivan get together before you decided to break up with him because he can use his brain!?
Mylene: Y-you.
Marinette: EXACTLY! I TAKE THE TIME TO HELP YOU AND HAVE YOUR BACKS, BUT WHEN I NEED YOU, YOU CAN NEVER DO THE SAME FOR ME!
Alya: IT'S NOT OUR FAULT THAT YOU TURNED INTO A JEALOUS BULLY!
Adrien: I told you to take-
Marinette: GO TO HELL, AGRESTE! AND CESAIRE, YOU CLAIM I'M JEALOUS! IF I WAS SO JEALOUS THEN WHY THE HELL DID I SET ADRIEN AND KAGAMI UP, HUH!? WHERE IS YOUR PROOF THAT I DID ANYTHING SHE SAYS I DID!?
Alya: THE BRUISES ARE RIGHT THERE!
Marinette: IF SHE WAS JUMPED IN AN ALLEY IN BROAD DAYLIGHT THEN, YEAH, SHE WOULD'VE SEEN ME! MULTIPLE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE! YOU HAVE NO WITNESSES THAT PUT ME THERE AT THAT TIME!
Alya: YEAH, BUT YOU'RE JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU LOVE ADRIEN BUT HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU BACK!
Marinette: I will admit, there was a point- A SINGLE POINT- where I liked Adrien.
Adrien blushes and has a pleased look on his face, but was not prepared for what was coming next.
Marinette: But, ever since he told me to take the high road whenever, Chloe would bully me- or right now with Lila, I've hated that man's guts!
Everyone can physically see the heartbreak on Adrien's face when Marinette stares him in the eye with every word they say.
Adrien: Y-you don't mean that...right?
Marinette: I meant every. Single. Word.
They look him straight in the eye and punctuates her next words that will make or break him.
Marinette: I. Fucking. Hate. You.
Lila's sheep stare wide eyed at them, not expecting this kind of nature from their "Everyday Ladybug". Alya tries to move toward them, but the glare the they give her makes her back away in fear.
Rose: This isn't the Marinette we know!
Marinette: The Marinette you used to know is long gone. It's like you said, Alya, people change. I've changed. I'm not the girl that lets people walk all over her anymore. I may be dressed in pink, but my fight is blacker then a moonless night. When this is over you and the rest of Lila's sheep will NEVER be considered to be anywhere NEAR my social circle.
Mr. Damocles walks into the classroom and shivers from the uncuttable tension in the air.
Mr. Damocles: Classes will not be in session for the rest of the week. We will be having conference meetings due to some teachers actions in dealing with conflict.
He leaves, leaving the Akuma class shocked and stunned.
Chloe: Mari, Kacey's calling!
Marinette: Answer it! Answer it!
Chloe connects her phone to the smart board and answers the facetime call.
Kacey: HI MARINETTE!
Marinette: HI KACEY!
Kacey: Ladies, you can cut the plan short!
Chloe: What do you mean?
Jason: We got tickets to come to Paris early!
Marinette: Alright!
Chloe: That's awesome!
Marinette: When are you getting here?
Luke: We should be there some time at the end of the month!
Jason: We would've booked them for some time sooner, but there weren't any flights to Paris.
Chloe: To hell with those Airlines!
Kacey: And the you know what ends when we get there!
Chloe: Oh thank God! I literally CANNOT take anymore of this!
Marinette: Right!?
Jason: Hey, look! It's the oblivious, blonde bastard!
Chole: J-Jason, what-
She falls on the ground laughing and Jason smiles seeing her happy.
Adrien: Hey, you can't say that!
Marinette: Why? It's true!
Sabrina: You're not the Marinette we know! Marinette, would never agree with something so mean!
Kacey: The Marinette you know? Shes turning back into the Marinette I know!
