Pandora watched as Chat Noir ripped off Ladybug's earrings, and all she could think was 'Oh no'.

Ladybug's suit disappeared in a flash of light, and there stood a frozen Marinette.

Silent. Everything was silent. As if the world stood still.

"M-Marinette?" Chat Noir asked, awestruck.

Marinette stood there, frozen.

Pandora guessed roughly 8.5 seconds before Marinette broke from her trance.

And right on cue, "YOU STUPID CAT! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!" She yelled, snatching back the earrings.

"M-Marinette?" Chat Noir asked again, nonbelieving.

Marinette turned on her heel and began to storm off. But Chat Noir, ever the stupid lovesick idiot, reached out and grabbed her arm, "No! Wait. Look!"

Pandora widened her eyes, and began to walk forward, but stopped. She was too late.

Adrien Agreste stood, ring in hand, still holding Marinette's forearm.

"A-A-Adrienn?" Marinette choked out.

"Yes! Don't you see? This is perfect! Now you and i-"

"Perfect?" Marinette's voice came, like a slap to the face, "Irony is the first word I'd use. Perfect is the last," Marinette kept on yelling at Adrien.

Pandora frowned, wondering if she should intervene or not. Suddenly, cold dread filled her heart. Pulling out her abacus -the thing she used to measure how close the universe branch was to the trunk- she looked at it with dread... The pieces were separating farther and farther by the minute.

Pandora suddenly looked up, catching the conversation between the star crossed lovers.

"This isn't all my fault, you know! Like, I did some stupid things, but I'm trying to fix them. I get that we'll probably never have what we had before, but we could've at least TRIED to be friends! Why couldn't we do that?"

"BECAUSE YOU HURT ME TOO MUCH!"

"Ya, well you hurt me too!"

As bad as it was, it was about to get worse. SO much worse.

"Pandora!" Selkie called.

Oh no.

Turning around, Pandora watched as Honey Comb and Selkie ran towards her, a frozen Chloe in their grasp.

"We have her so you can erase her memory..." The words died in Selkie's throat as he watched his cousin and Adrien fight.

Then, a screech filled the air, and Chloe could move again. Pandora watched as Honey Comb lunged for the girl, but Chloe just ran forward, "YOU! MARITRASH! YOU HAVE MY EARRINGS!!! GIVE THEM BACK!"

Marinette and Adrien both suddenly turned, "Chloe?" They said together.

Then Chloe stopped, "A-Adrien... you... NO! You can't be! You can't be the stupid cat!"

Adrien crossed his arms, "Yes Chloe. I'm Chat Noir. I guess there's no point in keeping our identities a secret anymore."

Pandora looked back to her abacus. Farther and farther the pieces drifted.

"Ugh! Isn't this all ironic! Here we are. My crush and my worst enemy both end up being my teammates!" Marinette laughed, though there was no humor in it, "Life has been kind indeed... I get a lazy, spiteful, envious role model, who's been making my life a living nightmare since I was eight! And then, I fall in love with a cocky, careless, fake who's been leading me on since the moment I met him!"

"Marinette, we should-" Selkie said, stepping forward and trying to get her out of here.

"NO!!! I want them to know how much I hate them! How much pain they've put me in," Marinette interrupted, her voice dark and treacherous.

"Pandora..." HoneyComb said softly.

"I know. This is bad."

"Can't you stop it?"

"I-"

"AKUMA!" Someone suddenly shouted.

HoneyComb looked at me, "Marinette..." She whispered.

Pandora ran forward but knew she was too late.

"My name is Ending, and I will end this story, one way or another."
