Ladybug looked back at the red and black spotted Bag. She frantically scanned her surroundings for any hint of help. Nothing. Her eyes widen and she changed her position. Something, there must be something that she could use. And finally, she spotted something red and black out of the corner of her eye. Mister Ramier. Mister Ramier and his Pigeon whistle. It clicked for Ladybug. She knew exactly what she was supposed to do. She winked to Chat Noir and made a gesture for him to give her more time. He looked really exhausted but nodded nonetheless. Well at least something is going right now with him.
Marinette jumped out of her hiding spot and dashed towards Mister Ramier. âMister Ramier! Do you mind lending me your whistle? It is really important; I need it to defeat todayâs Akuma!â
âOh, sure Ladybug. There you go, Iâm happy I am able to help you and Chat Noir.â he smiled and gave his whistle to her.
âThanks Mister Ramier and please find any shelter, itâs not safe out here.â Ladybug bowed her head and headed back towards the Akuma.
She positioned herself behind the angry figure and shouted âHey Erik! Youâre not you, if youâre angry. Have some Cookies!â And with that she flung the entire opened Bag of baked goods onto his head.
While the Akuma turned around and yelled âitâs the Reaper!â, the bag of Cookies connects with his armoured forehead and splatters Cookie crumbs all around his forefront.
With a mischievous smile, Ladybug shifts the whistle to her mouth and blows out a tune. From all around her, Pigeons rose to the sky and flew straight for the food source. Blinding the Akuma in the moment. The Reaper, in a fit of Panik, tried to swat away the flying pest. His Scythe fallen and forgotten on the ground.
Ladybug jumps down from her roof to collect and destroy the charm. Chat meeting her on the ground.
âThat was a close call MâLady!â, huffed Chat propping himself up on his Batton. He swayed slightly while talking, a small red thread visible on the corner of his crooked smile.
Marinette stomped on the Demon charm and a purple Butterfly emerged. She swung her Yo-Yo and catches the little insect. With a tap to the front and a softly spoken âBye Bye little Butterflyâ, a pure white Butterfly emerged and the heavy armour around Erik vanishes. She turned to her partner.
âYou did a really good job distracting the Akuma today Chaton. Why donât you head home and rest from your injuries, while I reset the city and get Erik to his peers. I will see you with Hot Chocolate and pastries on our next patrol session. All right?â
âYeah, sounds good ⊠see you then Bugaboo.â And with that, Chat Noir stumbles away. Not enough power left in him to fling himself across the skyline.
Marinette feels a little guilty as she watches him sway around the next corner. Chat just got the beating of a lifetime from a heavily armoured Akuma, so bad that he even forgot their signature Fistbump. Maybe she should check on him, but what if he already detransformed. The best course of action, she decided, is to cast her Miraculous Cure. This will reverse most of the Akuma damage, including the injuries on Chat, and will leave only a little soreness on them. A complete reverse or better rewriting of what just happened isnât possible, the memories stay behind and any injury is healed but the brain still thinks itâs injured. So even though there arenât any signs of damage, the feeling lingers for quite some time.
With a defeated sigh she turned towards a disoriented Erik, a flock of happy Pigeons munching on the Crumbs and her dotted red Cookiebag. The destruction in the Background gets ignored for the time being.
âAre you alright Erik? I will explain everything to you in a moment and then bring you back to your friends after I reversed the damage.â Erik just nodded with big eyes.
She picked the Bag from the ground, threw it in the air and shouted âMiraculous Ladybugâ. In a whirlwind of Ladybugs, the city gets restored, the Demon Charm repairs itself, the whistle finds its way back to Mister Ramier and hopefully Chat feels better. A glance to the Pigeons reveals that Tikki hadnât vanished the Cookies, what irony.
Marinette extended her hand to Erik and hoisted him up from the ground. âHereâs your Charm Erik. You really should speak to your friends; itâs all just a big misunderstanding.â
Erikâs face scrunches in defeat. âBut I saw them! They replaced me âŠâ
Just as Ladybug opened her mouth to respond, she heard a commotion behind her. Erikâs friends came running out of an alley, shouting questions, apologies and even explanations. âJust talk to themâ, she said with a smile, âyouâll see everything will clear up in an instant.â With a genuine smile and a wave to the group, she flung her Yo-Yo out and flew under the beeping of her Earrings back to her Balcony.
Once she landed, she dropped her transformation. Tikki flew out of her Earrings and landed exhausted in her Hands. Marinette slid a hand in her Purse and took out a Macaron for her Kwami to snack on. Lost in thought she gazed over the city.
âDid I do the right thing today Tikki? Was I too harsh to him? I donât think I was in the wrong at all, but I could have handled the aftermath better. I am just so frustrated with him!â
âNo Marinette. Donât question yourself so much. I mean, yes you could have handled the fight a little differently, but whoâs to say it wouldnât have ended the same way nevertheless. But arenât you forgetting something or better, someone?â
âFĂ©lix! Shit, I totally forgot about him. Thank you Tikki.â
Marinette hurried from her Balcony back into her Bedroom, leaving a chuckling Kwami behind.
She hurried down the steps from her bed to her Livingroom, flinging the trapdoor open and stumbles down towards FĂ©lix. Who wasnât sitting on the couch where she left him. Panik started setting in. Did he leave? Did her Parents come in and questioned where she was and asked him to leave? Oh, what an impression that would make on him. Thru her frenzied thoughts, she registers that the television is playing, ironically on the latest Akuma attack. As she tilted her head toward the TV she spotted FĂ©lix in front of their Bookshelf, studying their portraits. A soft puff of air leaves her in relief.
In that Moment Félix turned around and spottet her. A smile lit up his face, quickly replaced by a frown. Marinette saw his eyes flicker over her form, shift to the news still rolling on the television and settling back on her. His eyes widened with realisation.
Marinette watched with confusion and then with dawning horror. She was so accustomed to her peers never registering anything, that she forgot how observant Félix is.
She had totally forgotten to change her clothes.

I canât believe that almost 5 years flew by. As I started writing this story, I was so obsessed that I couldnât stop writing. Then stuff happened and I completely lost Fokus. I havenât even watched Miraculous Ladybug lately, I stopped somewhere around Season 3.
And then @trashyangelic commented recently and I thought if someone could find my writing after 5 years of inactivity, maybe I should give it another shot. But I still wonder, how exactly did you find me?
Little Fun Fact, I transferred the whole story to Word and I wrote close to 9.5K words for the story so far.
I wonât promise anything, but I try to update the next part sooner. English isnât my thirst Language, please excuse any mistakes.
I hope you all like the story so far :)
If someone new want to be tagged, just ask! I will try to add you :) and if one of the old tags isnât working or you changed your username please tell me.
