You wonât believe how I had tried to write how Marinette was going to meet Rosina but then I started writing more and more ML-Class Salt and I couldnât stop myself. It was quite enjoyable so I thought this would be a good place to start. This is how the class first started to become salty. You better grab some popcorn; you can hold the salt cause Iâve got plenty down here.

CollÚge Françoise Dupont had always been a place Marinette had enjoyed going to. Besides fashion, baking and music, she loved hanging out with her friends.
She loved being friends with Alya and helping her with all her Ladyblog stuff as much as she could, talking to her about her dreams and aspirations had been a great past time.
She loved Rose with how honest she was towards her feelings.
She loved Juleka and how she was better at overcoming her shyness.
She loved Alix with her art and amazing roller-skating.
She loved MylĂšne with how passionate she was about what she believed in.
She loved hanging out with all her female friends, they had tried to help her with so many ridiculous schemes to confess her love to Adrien it was too many to count, but they stood by her side always.
She loved Nino and his passion for music, his DJ skills were great, she was sure he could become famous in no time.
She loved being able to offer encouragement and support to Nathaniel and Marc, each of their comics looked so cool she couldnât wait to read it.
She loved being friends with Kim, they had been ever since Kindergarten. His crazy bets were bound to excite her after school each day.
She loved Max and always playing games like Ultimate Mecha Strike III, and totally beating him by the way.
She loved Ivan for how sweet he could be when he tried to show his feelings for MylĂšne.
And she loved⊠Loved Adrien.
He was kind. Pushover
Generous. Pitied
Caring. Traitor
Forgiving. Afraid of repercussions
.
.
.
But she ruined it.
She had claimed so many tales that the others lapped up at any mention of fame.
She had strung every last one of her classmates along like sheep and cattle.
She had changed so much in the school, she was excluded to the back in her class, away from everyone else. And when Marinette had tried to expose her?
She had turned it all around.
She had threatened her, enough for an Akuma to be sent her way in the bath stall.
She had bid her time, waiting until people truly believed her, until she enacted on her plan to âDethrone the Princess of the schoolâ
She had first started with little remarks about the bluenette, ones that didnât seem overly malicious as she couldnât start out too big right?
She had to make sure they grew in size as an appropriate time passed on. And soon⊠It had worked.
She had⊠Turned everyone against her.
***
She remembered when she had come into class that exact morning, because she was late everyone had already taken their seats.
The moment she had entered the classroom all heads turned to her.
âSorry, Mlle Bustier I had to err- um-â To her surprise, she held a hard glare at the girl. Actually, everyone did.
âThatâs enough excuses Marinette, I should send you to the Principal after everything thatâs happenedâ Mlle Bustier announced, shocking the girl.
âWhat but I-?â She wasnât able to finish.
âI thought we were friends Marinette, but now you say I could never be an Olympian?â
âOr you thought my voice was painful for anyone within ear reach to listen to!â
âOr I should always be covered in any pictures ever taken because Iâm such an eyesore!â
âOr Iâll never be anything in the music industry. How dare you lie to me all these years dude!?â The stray of accusations pointed to the girl were almost enough to make her cry⊠Almost.
âHow could you!? I thought you âsupported meâ, but now I see that youâve always been a deceitful manipulative liar!â Her former Best Friend held so much anger in her eyes as angry tears stained her cheeks.
âBut I- I would never say that! You have to believe me, who told you?â Marinette pleaded. No, Alya was her best friend, there was no way she wouldnât believe her. Right?
âFrom someone a lot more trustworthy, Lila told us all of your dirty little secrets. She couldnât bear to keep the truth from us, even after you threatened her in the bathroom where no one else was there. Thatâs low Marinette, even for you! Just because you want Adrien all to yourself, Lila doesnât even like him that way! How could you be such a jerk!â She stared in shock than anger as she looked at the liar.
âWhy would you lie about all of this Lila, how could you?â Lila faked her cries as she covered her eyes.
âI had to tell them the truth, I knew you hated me, but I couldnât stand by any longer and let you lie to everyone, I appreciate every one of my friends. I donât care if you hate me moreâ
âIf this is because youâre jealous forget it! Thatâs no excuse for doing this Marinette!â Alix yelled, she winced, even Alix? But she had always been so loyal.
âLoyalty only goes so farâ She thought sadly.
âThat was a brave thing to do Lila. Marinette apologise right now to Lila at once! I thought you were a good example for the class, not turn into a bully!â
âBut sheâs lying-â She got cut off.
âNot another word or youâll be going homeâ Mlle Bustier warned.
âBut!â
âMarinette this is your last warning!â She lowered her head and walked to the back as all the students glared at her, except for one.
***
Marinette sneaked off to the lockers. She couldnât even cry, or sheâd be turned into an Akuma, and nobody would want that.
Because she was Ladybug.
Soon you wonât have any friends left at all. Trust me.
You will lose your friends and wind up all alone.
âShe was right, she really did turn everyone against me. I really am aloneâ She exhaled a shaky breath and before Tikki could comfort her the door opened.
âMarinette. There you are. I was wondering where you ran off to?â
âAdrien, Adrienâs really here. He knows Iâm telling the truth; he must be here to help meâ That was the last nice thought she had about him.
âAdrien I-â
âMarinette we talked about this, exposing her isnât the right thing to do, what if she had become Akumatized in front of the whole class?â He held a disapproving gaze, one that shocked Marinette.
âBut she really was lying, if I donât say anything now, everyone truly will hate me for something I never did.â
âBut we both know youâre strong enough already Marinette youâre our âEveryday Ladybugâ. I know you can hold out from any Akuma until her lies are uncoveredâ
âAdrien what about my friends, they all think I said all of this stuff even though it's untrueâ
âIâm sure if you do more nice things theyâll turn around in the endâ She still looked unsure, so Adrien carried on.
âTheyâll forgive and youâll forget, then after everything, weâll all be friends again. Youâre strong enough already, I know a bit of solitude wonât hurt you. At least you arenât always stuck in your room with no one to talk to. If you just take the high road and donât rock the boat everything will turn out alright in the end, weâll all be happy and forgive everyone for their mistakes. We may even forgive Lila. Ok? Iâll stand by you as wellâ
She wanted to say no, desperately wanted to. That this wasnât fair on her, that she had only done what was right, that the truth should come out now.
But⊠This was Adrien, and her last friend.
So⊠She took his advice.
But he didnât keep his promise.
***
After that day, she tried to follow his advice. She tried to get all of her friends to like her again. She made macarons and croissants, cakes and pastries for them all to try, she spent some nights staying up all night to perfect her recipes she was sure the class would like, even⊠Lila.
But Lila had been âspecifically allergicâ to hers even if Marinette overheard how âlemonâ was her favourite.
So, they threw them all away.
She had tried to design and give homemade bags and controller skins to them, but Lila didnât like the material even if she knew part of her outfit held the exact same material.
So, they threw them all away.
Her final straw had been when she had made so many class trips to Theme Parks, Museums, Gaming Centres, Conventions. As Class President, she had to be the one in charge of trips as the teachers were âtoo busyâ instead. She tried to include everyone's interest and so far it worked. They had absolutely loved the idea of it, claimed it would be the best time of their lives. There were so many praises being thrown around the girl thought.
âFinally, theyâll see I want us to be friends again. Weâll all go out to meals and movies like before. Theyâll apologise and we can be like we were before she came. We can plot and have me and Adrien together-â
âWow Lila, it was so cool you got us the tickets for the last anime convention. I thought they ran out of them last I checked?â Nathaniel asked while studying the tickets, he had always wanted to go but thought the class wouldnât want to do something like this but he was surprised, she had told him otherwise, just like she had told him to get rid of Marc, after all in Lilaâs words âhe was limiting your potentialâ
Marinette remembered him crying in the locker room with no one around, she had been the only one there to comfort and successfully stop an Akumatization from happening.
âWell you see when you know a family friend who actually works in this industry you get so many free passesâ
âWhat?â
âIt's just a pity that Marinette was repulsed by the idea of all of us going. She said it was the stupidest thing she had ever heard and that I was such a loser to ever think of it in the first place. And the fact that she made me do all of the work, how could she be Class President?â The class glared at her, and each insulted her, even if it was her idea.
But when she looked over to see the familiar blond boy.
The sweet, blond who had promised would be there for herâŠ
Huh, it seemed ironic, the one who hated liars had become a liar.
Marinette had lost her crush on Adrien after that.
She stopped talking to him after that.
He didnât even talk to her, he was always too âbusyâ.
With all of the class trips happening she had been forgotten.
âOopsie the times wrong, we go at 9, not 8â
She lied.
âMlle Bustier? Marinette told me she couldnât afford this trip and to take her off the form, she didnât want to do it herself because she wanted to go for freeâ
She lied!
âHow could you Marinette!? You know I have a fear of waterfalls, my Aunt fell down one last year, I had to spend months in the hospital by her side waiting for her to wake up.â
CollÚge Françoise Dupont had always been a place Marinette had enjoyed going to. Besides fashion, baking and music, she loved hanging out with her friends.
âŠ
Not anymore.

I really hope I did this right. And I hope I made up for the salt compared to the last one, I really hope itâs pouring with salt. Anyway, I hope you like this and hopefully the next one youâll see the introduction of Marinette and Rosina. And just as a fun fact, I used 94 sheâs in this, amazing huh. Not including that one by the way.
So, I wanted to write about how Marinette and the rest met the girl. I hope youâll all enjoy it; I was so happy so many people have liked my post. I was debating whether or not I should add my other stories on here. And it was a bit long so it will be split into two or maybe three parts. And if you want to be tagged please say and I will tag.

If Marinette was asked how she met and became friends with the new girl within a day of meeting her, sheâd have to think back to the day when she had just finished defeating an Akuma and parted ways with Chat Noir. The battle had been excruciatingly long, and she only had mere seconds before detransforming into an alleyway. It had been in September, the start of the new year for her whole-class who were âluckilyâ kept in the same group, something about once you get to a certain year you stay in that class.
âThat was such a tough battle Tikki. Iâm so tired now, I have so much work to do as well. I donât know how Iâm able to carry on like this.â
âI believe you can Marinette, after all, youâre incredibly smart, and Iâll help you all the wayâ Marinette held her closer to rub cheeks at that moment.
âOf all the people youâre Ladybug?â A voice scoffed.
âWhat!?â
Marinette felt her heart stop.
She had one objective, not let anyone uncover her identity.
That objective was compromised.
She turned her head to see an incredibly short old woman with a cane and covered with a black cape. Under the hood, she had many wrinkles and a beauty spot above her right eye, and a slight yet distinctive scar on her cheek with piercing brown eyes.
âI thought WĂĄng wouldâve chosen a much more experienced Warriorâ Before Marinette could process what had happened and ask her anything she had gone. When she peeked out it was like she had vanished.
There was only one thing she could think of.
âI have to go to Master FĆ«â
***
A million thoughts raced through the girl's mind at once. Tikki had tried to calm her but with no luck.
âI was discovered as Ladybug, does that mean that my identity really was discovered? Does that mean Iâll have to give up being Ladybug? But I canât, I still have to find out who Hawkmoth is and- no! That would mean I have to give up Tikki no I canât I-â When she finally arrived and swung the door open.
âMaster FĆ« something terrible has happened! My-â She stopped and surveyed the scene around her. It looked like he had been waiting for her to come, lucky charm or not.
But what surprised her more was the fact he had laid out not one, not two, but three teacups on the table.
âThis girl doesnât have the proper training here WĂĄng. I thought even you had standards?â A gasp was heard, that was the same woman from before behind her.
âMaster, it's her, she accidentally saw me detransform. Iâm so sorry Masterâ She held her head down disappointed in herself but before he had time to respond the woman had grabbed the girl with her cane by her neck.
âSheâs far too weak without the Miraculous WĂĄng. When will she begin training properly? I shouldâve come sooner if I wouldâve known the state Paris was in. Really WĂĄng, you chose a teen to protect Paris all on her own, my kid would be far better than herâ Ok Marinette had enough. She didnât know who this was but like hell, she could talk to her like this.
However, before she could glare and produce a retort FĆ« cleared his throat.
âMrs Franchezca Hernandez. I can assure you than Marinette is more of a capable fighter than youâd think. For the past year, she and Chat Noir have always protected Paris from each Akuma attack that has happened. The Parisians are safe in the Ladybugâs hands.â Master FĆ« looked so sure of himself, but that didnât stop the woman from scoffing.
âWhatever you say. But my kid will be joining the city tomorrowâ She turned to smirk back at them after opening the door.
âIâm sure she will prove she is a better candidate than this childâ She threw her hood back on before exiting the building.
âMaster FĆ« who was that? Why was she here? Why is she even allowed to be here? Wait, is she another Guardian?â FĆ« sighed, he had a lot of explaining to do.
***
âSo⊠Sheâs not a Guardian?â They were spending this time reviewing the events of what just happened.
âYes and no. She had been a previous holder or the Ladybug Miraculous, but she didnât exactly⊠Enjoy the experience. She quit after her first battle-â Marinette jumped up.
âWhat!? But it was her responsibility to protect and be a hero, she just threw that away? How can she be that irresponsible and still come here? And Tikki why didnât you tell me?â The red Kwami closed her eyes and sighed, she didnât like keeping secrets from her holder, but Guardiansâ words overrode her holders.
âIâm sorry Marinette, but we arenât allowed to point out previous holders, and⊠I didnât like her anyway; Iâd rather forget her.â Marinette smiled softly and hugged the Kwami.
âOh, Tikki I could never stay mad at youâ
âHowever, she still is a capable fighter, you shouldnât underestimate her Marinette, with or without the Miraculous, she wouldâve been perfectly able to win our first battle. She only chose not to use the Miraculous as she already was skilled enough. She didnât agree with being given powers to fight, she thinks you should train for it and use only self-power.â Marinette looked astonished, was she mad?
âBut how could someone without a Miraculous hold their own in a battle, Hawkmoth would wipe the floor with them, itâs too unsafe if they didnât have a Kwami with themâ Surprisingly FĆ« and Tikki chuckled at her response.
âYouâd be surprised Marinette, when you see them in battle your opinion will do a 180°â She didnât seem convinced but nodded anyway.
âNow I think youâd better get home; your Parents must be worried right?â
âBut Master I still have so many questions, is it really alright that she knows my identity? And what about what the Lady said, someone else is coming, is she really going to replace me? Can they really be trusted?â
âYou will find the answers on your own, but for now you must attend your home nowâ She sighed defeated but left. How in the world would she find out the answers?
She knew one thing or another, it didnât matter how good that girl is.
She was Ladybug, right?
***
A new year, a new start, for some people yes, but for a bluenette now, absolutely not.
Because of the liar at school, she had successfully taken all of her friends and made her the outcast.
When she tried so hard to get them all back, because a little kitty friend told her too, they denied her kindness. Threw it all away.
When they all voted her out of being Class President, as they wanted someone kinder as their Class President, Marinette was done. Marinette exclaimed how she wasnât going to be fired, but that she quit instead. She had done so much, and she was tired of being treated like dirt.
She didnât want to set a good example.
Or one of the Marinetteâs of the world.
She wanted to be treated like everyone else.
Like a real person.
âWhateverâ The class thought before electing Lila as the Class President, she already had so many famous connections, they could have the trips of a lifetime.
And then Marinette ended her âfriendshipâ with Adrien.
He had chastised her for being so mean to the class, that she shouldâve continued being friendly with them, that she shouldâve continued trying to win them over a lot harder than she had. Marinette, angry, said how she had been giving her heart and soul into all of those gifts that she had made. She had spent nights making those handmade gifts and they didnât care; she had done so much, and they didnât care.
He was persistent that she apologises so everything could be better, thatâs what he believed in.
But she laughed, the last months making her come to a harsh realisation.
Her crush had died out, and not all friends are as loyal as they make them out to be.
They didnât talk for the rest of the year.
And no one had contacted her over the summer.
It was then that she truly realised that they really didnât appreciate their friendship, it had taken everything in her to not breakdown and cry herself to sleep.
âIâm so tired of fake friends, I want someone who will truly have my backâ Then she slept, but Marinette would smile at this memory, knowing that her wish came true.
***
It was just like any day, she wasnât late per se, but she was still rushing to get to class, arriving before Mlle Bustier was better than later.
As she was approaching the steps she slipped and fell, her clumsiness really came in at the worst of times.
She prepared for the impact⊠But it felt softer than she anticipated.
Opening her eyes, she saw grey. It looked soft and felt so⊠Fluffy?
âHow did a pillow get here?â
âThat was my doing. Are you ok, you fell so fast I was afraid I wouldnât be able to catch you in time?â A redhaired girl spoke as she stuck her hand out for her.
Marinette looked at her warily, she wasnât anyone she membered seeing around the school, was she new or just extremely good at hiding herself?
âPlease donât tell me the third new persons gonna betray me as wellâ
She got up by herself anyway, she was still cautious of others, even if she didnât know them.
The girl rubbed the back of her head, possibly embarrassed by something, while giving a smile.
âSorry I gotta go, my Auntâs gonna kill me if she doesnât see me soonâ She turned to walk off but then stopped as if remembering something.
âI just wanted to say I love your bag design, I can tell you spent so much time working on that, good luck MDCâ Waving she ran off inside.
âWhat was that all about? And MDC? Why call me- Wait thatâs my name, how did she know my name!?â Sadly, those questions wouldnât be answered till later.
She had entered silently, then again, no one had actually paid attention to her presence so it's not like it mattered.
Slipping to the back was easy, the place where she belonged.
But that would end soon.
When the rest of the class entered that was when Mlle Bustier cleared her throat to gain the classes attention.
âNow I know that youâre all very excited about this new year, there will be even more challenges to be presented and I hope youâll all do your bestâ
âBut for now, we have a new student joining today and I hope youâll all make her feel welcome.â There were gasps and excitable whispers, another person to make friends.
âAnother sheep to follow my pack, I wonder how easy it will be to make them wrapped around my fingerâ Lila smirked, convoluting all the lies she was about to make.
So, they looked at the door in anticipation.
And waitedâŠ
And waited some more.
Confusion was spread around the classroom before Bustier walked outside to tell the newbie that she could walk in.
But no one was there.
âErm, it seems she may be la-â
A body climbed through the window and landed in front of everyone.
âHiya everyone! Iâm the new kid and I just gotta say-â
Swoosh
She was in front of Lilaâs desk, taking her hand in hers.
âI love your jacket; it flatters you so muchâ Before Lila could respond the new girl moved in front of Adrien and held his hand.
âYour eyes are such a lovely shade of green. And you look super cute for your ageâ Again, she moved along before giving a comment to everyone.
âI love your hair, brown and red totally suit you.â: Alya
âYour aesthetic just screams cool, chilled and totally relaxed dude. I respect thatâ: Nino
âWow I love your drawings, they look so detailed, and you look so cute, like a cinnamon rollâ: Nathaniel
âYour hair cries pink but I see Rock âNâ Roll in you. Plus, you have roller-skates, awesomeâ: Alix
âThat purple is such a lovely contrast to your black hair, itâs such a gorgeous colourâ: Juleka
âYou look sooo cute, your eyes are such a deep blue plus pink really suits you Pinkieâ: Rose
âYour build shouts athletic, I would love to have a race against you sometimeâ: Kim
âI heard through an article you were able to produce an AI called Markov? I just gotta say thatâs amazing, I would love to see how you managed that.â: Max
âYour hair is so colourful, Iâm super jealous of how youâre rocking itâ: MylĂšne
âAww you look so sweet; I can tell you love each other so muchâ: Ivan
âWow, you look so adorable with those cute glasses you haveâ: Sabrina
âAnd Mlle you look so pretty, I love your hairstyleâ
âŠ
Wow, she just complimented everyone in the room.
Everyone but Marinette but that didnât matter to them.
âW-Well that lovely of you ermâ
âMy name is -â The door slammed open.
âROSINA SCOATS! I thought I told you weâre to enter together!â In came an old Lady.
Old Lady?
Marinette froze.
âThatâs the Lady from before, so if thatâs her, then Rosina must be the new fighter here, so did that mean she knew Iâm Ladybug? No no that couldnât be possible, even if Master FĆ« knows the Lady she shouldnât tell anyone else right?â She hoped positively.
When no one was looking at her Rosina winked at her.
She winked?
âOh god, she winked at me. She knows. Iâm doooomedâ Marinette groaned as she dropped her head against her desk.
âIâm sorry Auntie I couldnât help it; Iâve never seen so many new faces beforeâ Her smile seemed to brighten everyone's mood in the class. Except for the one who knew her much longer.
Whack.
The walking stick was residing on the young girlâs head. But her grin never left her face.
âAnd Iâve told you time and time again not to. Honestly, girl, being in a new place does not give you the right to ignore what Iâve taught you Amorettoâ The girl giggled, obviously this was something that had happened often.
However, some people didnât take kindly to that.
âHey, you shouldnât hurt your Niece, she didnât do anything wrongâ Truthfully that comment she gave Lila caught her off guard, so this was a small thank you, after she will have her wrapped her finger.
âYeah, Lilaâs right, she didnât do mean any harm. Lay off her will yaâ The class joined in minus Marinette who was still having her crisis over identities until the old Lady slammed her cane down to the floor.
âSilence. You will cast no judgement for how I raise my Cherub. You will learn to remember that. Do not continue this conversation any further. Now Mlle I suggest you learn to control your class before I settle them straight.â
Whack.
âI will be off, if you need anything you know how to contact me. Now go sit next to that Marinette girlâ She turned and left them all still in slight shock.
âHow did she know Marinetteâs name?â They pondered before their minds went back to the girl in the front.
âPlease donât worry about that little scene there, you have no need to fear, itâs just an affectionate tap. Besides Iâm strong enough to protect myselfâ She quickly glided up to sit next to the blue-haired girl.
âHey, it's cool to see weâre in the same class MDCâ She giggled before taking her seat.
âYeah⊠Great.â
***
The class had gone slower than what she had imagined it to be. But as soon as the bell rang, she was immediately dragged out before she could ask the girl beside her some questions.
In the dining hall, everyone from her class was crowding around her making her embarrassed. Geez had she been the only new girl there?
âAre you alright? You donât have to put on a brave face just for us, we can help you.â Everyone seemed to congratulate the brown-haired girl for being so nice and helping out the new girl.
âHonestly, Iâm alright, I shouldnât really run off anyway, she may not look it, but she was only worried about me. And besides, Iâve trained enough for something like her staff to not hurt me. You know what they say *âdÄ shĂŹ qÄ«n, mĂ shĂŹ Ă iâ. Trust me it doesnât hurtâ She really didnât want to talk about this apparent abuse she was facing anyway. They blinked at the phrase but carried on. They all introduced themselves and tried to get to know her.
âSo how come youâve moved here? What was your last school like? Do you want us to take you on a tour?â Alya asked the newbie. The reporter instincts growing within her.
âWell, that first question is slightly classified, sorry, I canât tell you yet. And Iâve never been to a school before, Iâve always been home-schooled because Iâve been travelling the world since I can remember. And I think Iâll manage on my own thanks; I have my map and Iâm determined to get everywhere by thatâ Her smile never wavered. Lila smirked, she totally seemed like an easy target, although it may not be a challenge like Alix and Max, she looked like a likeable person. One that could easily fall into her lies.
âClassified? Does that mean youâre on a Mission of some sorts? -Gasp- Are you here because of the Akumaâs? Are you planning on helping Ladybug and Chat Noir?â So many gasps and questions flew towards her and for the first time, she felt uncomfortable.
âGuys, canât you see sheâs getting uncomfortable? Sorry, they can be a bit excited over Akuma related topics. Especially Alyaâ The blond stood next to Rosina.
âHey!â The one in question denied.
âAre you really going to disagree?â
ââŠNoâ She pouted.
âYouâve travelled around the world? Same, I hope we can be besties soon, travel bestieâ Grinning ear to ear to the redhead.
âHey, do you think you can teach us some phrases then? That would be so cool if you couldâ One of them suggested.
âI guess, I am multicultural after all, learning Mandarin was so hard for me, French was a lot easierâ The girl remembered the many nights of staying up with books trying to cram everything into her brain before going to bed and other important activities.
âStatistically speaking Mandarin is the hardest language to learn and yet is also the most widely spoken native language in the world,â Max stated pushing up his glasses while Lila giggled.
âYes, but because my Mother had some connections, she gave me the best Chinese speaking teachers she could find to help me learn the language, not as I needed it as much as they thought I would. They were so impressed **I could learn it in 8 weeksâ Lila missing the attention, fibbed to gain it back, not like Rosina minded.
âOh, really thatâs quite impressiveâ
âShe didnât even know what I said, and she calls herself multilingual?â
Before she could think anymore Adrien stepped in, he didnât want the new girl to get bullied if she called Lila out for lying, he didnât want another case of Marinette.
âAlso donât worry about never being in school before, I was home-schooled too until last year. Trust me youâll get the hang of it.â
âOk Adrianâ
âErr its Adrienâ
âThatâs what I said wasn't it? Sorry, I sometimes get names mixed up, I hope you donât mind?â
âDonât worry weâll all help you with your problem, I have a similar one. I suffer from tinnitus after saving Jagged Stoneâs cat on a runway, and because of my selfless bravery, I was punished because the sound of an aeroplane engine burst my eardrum.â To the end, she was in tears as her classmates comforted her.
âRight, but I donât have a hearing condition Laylaâ
âItâs Lilaâ She tried to give back a sweet smile but, on the inside, she just wants this girl to fall under her spell already.
âOk Laylaâ
This was going to be a looooong day.
***
When Marinette finally got out of Dupont she felt exhausted. Rosina did look nice, but she couldnât exactly be pleasant to her if she was anything like her Aunt. What was she really like? Was she just putting on an act for everyone else like Lila? Was she really going to try and become Ladybug?
She sighed before walking back to her house, expecting to see her Parents joyful faces as she tells them about their wonderful day.
But that didnât happen.
âThese macarons are lovely Mrs Chengâ A girl stated as she munched down on several macarons at once.
âOh please, call me Sabine. You are such a lovely girlâ
âReally? Thank you very much, I hope youâll continue thinking of me like thatâ
âOh Marinette, weâve met your new friend, Iâm so glad you two are friends so soon after meetingâ Rosina turned and looked at her with a slight wave.
She wanted to faint so badly, but she couldnât.
Because she was Ladybug.
***
I am very into an Inuyasha x MLB crossover right now, but with Marinette and Rosina being treated like a little Sister.
Iâm so glad how much positivity this got. Iâm so happy guys, I canât believe it. Iâve decided to use this song because 1, reasons that you will see and 2, I thought it kinda fitted how Marinetteâs feeling. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Marilody had never been as proud of herself as she had in that instance. She had finally outed that liar, that liar who had made her life hell ever since she came back. If it werenât for her newfound friends, she didnât know what she would do. As she thought back to them there was a nagging feeling telling her to stop, for them. But she pushed it aside, they would understand, she was sure of it. They wouldâve done the same thing. Right?
She shook the doubt away, of course, they would. They all fought for justice, all helped make that piece. What was that saying again? No pain no gain. She may not be the same Marinette, but her friends mattered to her damn it.
And they had been wronged for the last time.
âItâs what they wouldâve wanted, sheâs hurt us for far too long⊠It has to beâ She continued on her trek.
***
In all of his millennia of living, never had he seen a Ladybugâs chosen become so broken to be hurt like this. Plagg remembered how Adrien and Marinette had a disagreement, but they were kids, after all, they would sort it out eventually so there wouldâve been nothing to worry about. But then he waited, and waited⊠And nothing happened. He had snuck out to speak with Tikki about the situation, but they couldnât exactly say anything without revealing something important identity wise.
He tried to get Adrienâs attention, but the music was hypnotising him and Plagg couldnât get to him.
Now he felt what the dinosaurs did.
Panic.
âIf I canât get to Adrien, then how can we get our Ladybug back?â He looked around, if Adrien couldnât see him, he doubted anyone else would make note of him.
All he saw was a never-ending sea of white. Just how powerful was this Akuma?
No, wait! He saw something. That hair was familiar, and he had to make a quick decision. She was a worthy candidate and he was sure Tikki wouldnât have minded.
After all, she was friends with her chosen.
He slipped the ring off Adrienâs finger; he didnât want to part from him, but he really had no choice. And he zipped past to get to his target.
âAlmost thereâ Her back was turned as she carried on.
The ring she supported was special, not as much as a Miraculous, but it had been made because of the Miraculous wish.
Itâs a long story that even the author doesnât know how to word yet please give it time.
If he could slip that ring onto that same finger it might cause a magic reaction to break her out.
âHere's hopingâ He was lucky, the black cat was very lucky.
A hardly visible light encased the girl before she fell to her knees.
âOwww, what happened? Wait, where am I?â Her head searched frantically around as Plagg had to place his hands on her cheeks to get her attention.
âRosina listen to me! M-â
âWoooooah, youâre a Kwami, right? Just like Tikki? What are you doing here?â He forgot how inquisitive she could get, but if letting her be caught up would get this whole mess sorted, then so be it. He internally sighed, he hated explaining stuff, that was more Tikkiâs forte.
âYes, Iâm a Kwami, Chat Noirâs Kwami to be specific, Marinetteâs been Akumatized into a music type Akuma. My chosen got caught in its power before being able to transform so I need your help. I know your Crisono and friends with Ladybug. And to be honest, your Parisâ last hope.â
âMariâs been Akumatized? I have to help in any way I can. Tell me what I can do!â He was relieved, that was quicker than he expected.
âI know you're kinda skilled in Akuma battles, but since your alone, for this, you need to find the object and Cataclysm it. Since I donât think anything has been destroyed everything should be reverted to normal.â
âAlright, so I just have to say the words, right?â He nodded. Maybe this will be good, if she can combine those two powers, wouldnât that be awesome?
âI Bequeath This Blade To Danceâ
The bright light appeared and turned into her usual weapon of a Sabre.
âOk. Oh, Iâve always wanted to say this. Plagg! Claws Out! Did I say it right?â
âYes, you diiiiiiiiiiiiiiidâ He was sucked into the ring. And her transformation begun.
***
Marilody couldnât push that⊠Feeling away any longer.
It wasnât Hawkmoths, it was a bit too feminine for that, no. This feeling made her doubt herself, made her doubt everything. It sounded like her own voice.
šTheyâll hate you for it.š
šYouâre only doing this for yourself.š
šHow selfish of you, using your own friends for your own personal gain.š
šThis is why all your other friends left you, you never deserved them in the first place.š
â«Stop itâ«
šYouâre the worst Ladybug that has ever been chosen, why did FĆ« trust you.š
šOf course Hawkmoth would Akumatize you one of these days. It was inevitable for someone like you.š
â«Stopâ«
šYou might as well Team up with him considering all youâve done.š
â«Stop iiiiiiiiiiiiit!â«
A barrier filled with notes trapped her. Her mind rapidly playing a stream of events of a twisted version of the truth, was this Hawkmothâs doing? She didnât know, she couldnât tell. All she knew wasâŠ
â«None of it matters⊠None of it mattersâ«
She hated this, this power. She wanted it to stop but she didnât know-how! She forgot.
â«None of it matters
Who am I?
What Am I?
Tell me now!
Just break it all
(Just break it all)
Take it all awayâ«
She took in the view, with her power, she was sure it would spread throughout all of Paris. Wasnât she Ladybug? Wasnât she meant to protect not destroy?
â«I'm sitting here
Pieces of fractured fears
So tear it down
(Tear it down)
Tear it down
I want to tear it down!â«
She didnât deserve any of her friends, none of them. Why were they friends with her anyway? Did they just pity her?
â«Standing on the edge
This window is open again
I have nothing, nothing left!â«
Why was she Ladybug in the first place? Why did FĆ« choose her, Rosina would be much better being Ladybug. After being Akumatized she was sure FĆ« would take it back.
â«Tear me down
(Tear Me Down)
Tear me down (Ohhhhh! Ohh!)
Tear me downâ«
Everyone would leave her she just knew it. She wouldnât blame them; she had failed everything. Everyone.
â«Please pull me back
Pull me back
Pull me backâ«
Rosina knew she would have to search for her friends in order to save them, she hadnât expected to find her classmates in such a state like they were.
They were transfixed to a view in front of them, Rosina knew not to turn around just in case. But the puzzle remained.
How to free them?
It was then she saw a piece of crumpled up paper in Nathanielâs hand. Picking it up she thought it seemed like a plausible solution, there wouldnât be any negative effect if she did.
She knew she wasnât the best singer but her Aunt had once complimented her so that was enough for her.
âȘI know the room will spin
Nothing left, the consequence
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not giving up yetâȘ
They were starting to move, yes it was working. This was great, just a bit more.
âȘTake my hand
Hold it out
I will pull you inâȘ
âHuh? What happened?â They were awake, thank goodness. Nathaniel was the closest one to her and she couldnât help hugging the confused boy.
âH-Hey who are you? And, where are we?â He struggled to get the unknown assailant off him, but he gasped when he noticed who it couldâve been.
âC-Chat Noir?â Adrienâs blood ran cold. He checked for his ring only to see it was gone. Oh god, he was being punished. He wasnât Chat Noir anymore, he had it taken away from him! Was this because he hadnât stuck with Marinette for the situation? Would this mean his freedom was gone?
âOh no, no no no of course not. Iâm err Kittie Crissiâ She frantically waved her hands as everyone else saw the newcomer.
âLadybug and Chat Noir got caught in this trap while they gave me time to escape. Chatâs Kwami came to me for assistance since I canât purify or destroy an Akuma. Iâm only using this temporarily.â She clapped her hands, a way to get their attention.
âAnyway, is everyone safe? No physical injuries?â
âOnly emotional damage done. How could you Lila?! After everything weâve done for you and this is how you repay us? This is all your fault?!â Lila stopped the fake display of her façade and smirked.
âOh please, if all of you hadnât believed me so willingly none of this wouldâve happened, this is just as much as your fault than it is mine.â She flicked her hair away not bothered about the looks she had received.
âHow, you tricked us?!â Boy, did Alya have some nerve.
âI didnât force you to believe everything I said, honestly I was surprised for how long I got away with it, you were the ones that pushed Marinette away, donât try to play innocent. The only ones that didnât were Marinetteâs real friends.â
She was right.
No matter what, Lila never told them to be mean to Marinette, just that she had hurt her, she had manipulated them, but she didnât force them to do anything, that was their fault, no Akuma involved.
âAll of you need to stay here, Iâll place a barrier to make sure no other notes target youâ She only got some nods as most were still mortified about what they had done and what they'd just learnt.
She was about to place it when she felt a hand.
âYes, Adrien?â He looked heartbroken.
âPlease save Marinette. I don't think sheâs being controlled by Hawkmothâ He was glad he knew her secret. Because he knew she was more than capable of saving the day as well as everyone.
âDonât worry, Iâll save Mari. I promiseâ She pattered his arm before placing them in a barrier with that object of hers. It would take time to complete, but most of it was finished.
She winked before running off to save her friend.
***
âAs your gifter, I expect you to submit to me and stop this pity party of yours. Find both Miraculous now!â His voice kept coming back, and with all the other thoughts she couldnât recognise fiction from reality.
â«What am I doing with this?
I'd rather it break and twistâ«
She touched her Akumatized object, why hadnât she broken it yet? Why hadnât she moved from her place? So many questions formed she felt she was having a breakdown.
â«It's a steady climb going out of my mind
Six feet under torn rippled to sunder!â«
She couldnât escape. Her power was overflowing. She couldnât control it any longer.
She was afraid.
â«Tear me down
(Tear Me Down)
Tear me down (Ohhhhh Ohh!)
Tear me downâ«
Her cries were heard by the whole class. Most of them guilty of what they had done to her, their former friend. She was begging for help and they couldnât do anything.
â«Please pull me back
Pull me back
Pull me backâ«
She could hear her friends wails of pain through her melody. She had to get there soon, then everything would be alright. Oh god, she had to save Ladybug, she needed to make sure she was alright.
But she couldnât get far as a stranger blocked her way.
She looked around her to see Kagami and Luka there as well. On the plus side now she knew they were ok, hypnotised but ok, she was getting worried about her friends.
But they didnât look like how the class were. First of they were able to move around, and second⊠They were attacking her! She had to block them all with her new Baton.
âȘI know the room will spin
Nothing left, the consequence
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not giving up yetâȘ
They had stopped, instead, they covered their heads with their hands, looking to have an inner battle with themselves.
They were trying to break free.
âȘTake my hand
Hold it out
I will pull you inâȘ
They all gasped at whatever power released their hold on the three. They breathed heavily as they surveyed their background.
âWhereâs Marinette?â Kagami said sharply. It seemed she had recovered first before noticing the figure standing in her vision. Her face was filled with confusion, this wasnât Chat Noir at all. It took her a moment before her eyes located the bow she was wearing.
âRosina? How did you get Chat Noirâs Miraculous?â
âItâs a long story. But right now, you three have to stay with the others and keep safe. Marinetteâs been Akumatized and I donât want you three to get hurtâ
âWhat? How did that happen, we were all at the park with our song⊠Sheet?â Luka seemed to remember the events that transpired, how could he forget that note of sadness that played through Marinetteâs heart as her former friend ripped that sheet up.
âEven if sheâs an Akuma it doesnât feel like sheâs being controlled by Hawkmoth, but even then I donât think sheâs in control of her powers, if she were to hurt any of you Marinette would never forgive herself, and she might be Akumatized again, at least with me I have a Miraculous and Iâm trained in this area.â They stayed silent; they knew she was right but not being able to help left them helpless.
âYou better promise to get her back then, or youâll never have that sleepoverâ That joke soothed her, she was glad they were happy at a time like this.
âOf course, Chlo, no need to worry Iâll get her back. I promiseâ She pointed in the direction they should head in before she continued her search of the bluenette.
âȘ(I'm not giving up yet)âȘ
She was racing towards her friend, there was only so long that barrier would last without her being there to concentrate. Plus, what if Marinette was moving around and found the class, that would be a problem.
âMari⊠I promise I wonât leave you. Iâll never betray you⊠Everâ
There, in front of her!
There was a barrier. And-
âMarinette!â She yelled her name repeatedly. Couldnât she see anything?
With her options minimised, she placed her hand on the barrier, would she be able to feel a presence?
Her head shot up! She noticed. But before she could utter a word, a note flew out to her. She had to dodge, and fast!
âMarinette please listen to me. You canât let it control you, please hear me.â
âȘLet's not go so far
Up in flames in skies
My fears start to sleep
But this nightmare will end
And turn into a dreamâȘ
The barrier, maybe if she broke it?
âPlease workâ She jumped and with all her might hit the barrier causing it to shatter completely.
âMari-â She got hit!
It flew her across several feet and boy did it hurt.
âMarinette, please listen to me. Please fight it. I can help you. Pleaseâ She pleaded to no avail. Marinette looked so⊠Scared. Did she not... Realize that it was her.
âȘI know the room will spin
Nothing left, the consequence
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not giving up yetâȘ
Even with the barrier broken it would still be a struggle to get closer whilst avoiding the notes. If she could just get close enough maybe she could show her.
But that would mean taking some hits. Her mind made a decision as soon as she saw her friend. She could tell she was in pain, and so so fearful.
âȘTake my handâȘ
She stepped forward.
âȘHold it outâȘ
She was hit too many times to count but like hell she was gonna let that stop her.
âȘI will pull you inâȘ
She placed her hand on Marinetteâs as a final note collided with her stomach.
And oh god was the pain immense. But she had made it, and by the decreasing number of notes, she guessed Marinette recognised her.
âMarinette?â She prayed she wasnât under Hawkmothâs control.
â«R-Rosina?â« Her voice was shaky, almost as if she hadnât realised who was in front of her. Her eyes were back to normal.
âYes. It's me. Are you ok Ma-?â She couldnât finish her sentence before the Akuma threw herself on the new feline heroine.
â«I-Iâm so sorry, this is all my fault. I hurt everyone⊠I canât do anything rightâ« She pattered her back as she had that first day they had met. She was breaking down again.
â«Iâm so so sorry Rosina. I hurt you and all of my friends, Iâm a failure, I got Akumatized when I knew I shouldnât have. I-I Iâm so pathetic.â« She cried harder as Rosina held her.
It almost made her want to cry.
But she had to try and be as strong as possible.
âLook at me, Mari. Pleaseâ Rosina couldnât see her eyes, but her head lifted itself.
âMari, please tell me where the Akuma is, so we can end this⊠Togetherâ Intertwining her hand with hers the tears never stopped as Marinette nodded.
â«I-Itâs my headpiece⊠And Rosina?â« Marinette grabbed her attention.
âHmm?â She gave a gentle smile.
â«Iâm sorry about-â«
âHey, you have nothing to apologise for. You did everything rightâ She reached for the headpiece, breaking it with ease. The butterfly tried to escape, but it flew too slow.
âCataclysm!â And like that, it was over. With Marinette Akumatized no more, her power vanished, causing the white landscape to evaporate.
Marinette, bless her, collapsed into Rosina after everything was over, struggling to keep Hawkmoth off bay for that much proved too much, not like she could blame her.
She heard footsteps racing towards her, looking around it was her three friends. They held faces of worry and relief at the same time.
âCrisono, are you alright? Is Marinette ok? Can you stand?â Luka bent down to check on Marinette and was glad to find her just asleep.
âIâm sort of fine. I didnât want to say anything to Mari, but she really did a number on me, but since the Akumaâs gone I doubt there's any reason for Ladybug to use her Miraculous cure just for me. But we should get going, Iâd much rather rest if you wouldnât mind.â
âJust stay away from us got it, I wonât hesitate to call DaddyKins if any of you try to harass us with your âsympathyâ got itâ They started walking away, until one of them asked a simple question.
One that shouldâve been answered a long time ago.
âWhy was Marinette so upset over that song sheet?â Adrien simply asked. It was silent as the four stopped in their tracks. Until the feline heroine surprisingly spoke.
âIf you couldnât tell, that piece of paper Marinette got so upset over didnât belong to herâ The class was shocked, then Marinette was lying? No wait, it looked like Crisono hadnât finished speaking.
âShe was asked to decorate it, that person along with their friends made the lyrics themselves, she spent so much of her time and effort on it because she cared about whom it was for. She was so excited to give it back before you all came, claiming she had stolen it. When you ripped it up, she wasnât angry about her wasted time. She was overcome with grief for her friend's hard work ruined in a matter of seconds.â They winced at the harshness Crisono used, but they knew they deserved it.
âI wonât tell you who asked, but you should know that youâre the first to have angered them, immensely. Now please do yourself a favour and not get Akumatized. That would be terrificâ They walked off leaving their class behind.
They all, minus Lila, had too many thoughts running around their heads.
Why did they choose fairy-tale over reality?
Gossip over honesty?
How were they going to fix this?
Could they even fix this?
Would Marinette ever forgive them?
Would Marinette want to forgive them?
But mostlyâŠ
Would Marinette be ok?

Changed - Canât pay the rent to The consequence because it would make more sense.
This was a bit more angsty than I had planned⊠And I loved every minute of it.
Also might draw Rosina in the Cat Miraculous later, I already have her name picked out.
Thatâs it, I really hope you enjoyed this little Two-Shot, but sorry if it's not what you expected. Although now the question is do I say what happens next as a short story or just make a whole new SongFic about it? But for that, I have no idea how I would write the aftermath. If any of you have ideas, please tell me Iâm always willing to listen to ideas. But I am so glad so many people like this, I think I saw 300 notes on it, and I canât tell you how happy thatâs made me. Also, if anyone knows the song then Iâll be impressed, anyone I tell to has no idea what Iâm talking about.
If I do another one would you still want Class Salt, Sugar or a mix? If you want a mix, please tell me each character to be either Salted or Sugared as Iâm not a mind reader.
Edit 1: I've drawn her, and I hope you like it. By the way, her hair is black and her sclera (White part of the eye) is silver along with the markings on her costume, like when Marinette was transformed into Lady Noir, although I headcanon that her markings were blue.
Anyway, I have no idea what Iâll be uploading next. If anyone has any suggestions of what I can write about Iâm all ears. But I hope youâll enjoy it and have a nice day.
I decided to do some smaller fanfics to just make sure everyone is on the same page as me so the SongFic will be revealed later on. However, Iâm going to write out of order just like season 3 because I thought this would be cool and a nice way to introduce my OC.
I believe this takes place in season 3, after Lila gets back but before the oh so great finale episodes, so theyâre still like around 14. I wonât mention all the episodes but I will post more about how my OC becomes friends with Kagami and Luka. (And Felix because I love Fanon Felix)
Also, I want to ask, do you want consistent salt, salt but redemption for few or all?
Edit: The question mark just means Iâm unsure which part this takes place in my main story. It doesnt mean too much.

âHAWKMOTH!â
Marinette stood there frozen, her new best friend, one she knew she could trust with everything, one who knew her identity⊠Was being Akumatized right in front of her.
Thank god they ditched her as soon as they saw her âtrue inner coloursâ
However, even with all the glares and comments directed towards the girls they never even bat an eye to them, they just kept on walking ahead never looking back. They even had the nerve to smirk back at them.
And now it had appeared there was one more person they wanted to convert.
Rosina Scoats.
She had been a new student to Dupont, and everyone had been excited.
She had looked so pleasant, and everyone had tried to warn her of Marinette, the bully, the one who had made Lila feel so sad and disheartened after Marinette had openly tried to oppose her for being a âliarâ.
After all, she had done nothing wrong.
âŠNothing wrong.
And yet, no matter what they did, she had always gone back to the outcasts of the class, and they talked as if they had been long-time friends.
It was hopeless now, she had fallen for their lies, there was no way they could save the poor girl.
Because Rosina had been staying with Marinette she made sure the busy girl got up early for school much to Tikki and her Parents comfort, although she hadnât appeared yet as there was something the girl had to take care of before coming so the trio became dos at the back.
Then the quiet ones, Nathaniel, Juleka, Ivan, MylĂšne and Adrien came in. The latter held a disapproving stare at the two girls who shouldâve taken the higher ground. They shouldnât have rocked the boat, and what did they do? The exact opposite.
Honestly, they were worse than Lila at this point.
He just wanted them to apologise to Lila and they could be friends again, couldnât they see the error in their ways?
Then all the rest came in, ending with Lila, again sprouting some nonsense about meeting several celebrities and she was like a little Sister to them all. Alya was sucking all this information and typing it on her Ladyblog, which by now should be called âLilablogâ considering all the information dedicated to her âbestieâ instead.
âOf course, but because they live so far away, they canât come and celebrate my birthday. Sometimes itâs hard being so far away from them, theyâre like family, but they always give me a message and the best presents to make up for itâ Her fake tears earned her so many sympathy votes the girls were surprised she wasnât nominated for best actress.
A scoff was heard, and all heads turned towards the back, it wouldâve been creepy considering how in tune they all were, but they didnât say anything.
âYes, is there anything wrong?â Lila innocently asked but pulled a disgusted face when no one saw her.
âDonât listen to them Lila, their just jealous of all the people that love you compared to themâ Some snickers were heard but the girls didnât pay them any thought. However, a noise disrupted the talk amongst the students.
A phone ringing.
Marinetteâs phone was ringing.
âH-â Before she could even get a word out, she had to pull her phone back by how loud the girlâs voice had been on the other line.
âOPEN THE WINDOW NOW OPEN THE WINDOW NOW OPEN THE WINDOW NOW OPEN THE WINDOW NOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!â Marinette confused but used to weirdness in her life did what she was told and opened the nearest window. It was a close call as a body slammed into her just as the window opened, leaving no room to run.
âOwwwâŠâ
âSooooooorrry about that Mari. I got held up again. That thing I told you I had to do while here, weeeeell it came up, so I had to take care of it, and then Piper wanted to- AHH! Piper are you ok? You arenât hurt, are you?â
The redhead turned to the bundle she had been carrying while she flew through.
A child, possibly 4 or 5, with black hair and pink eyes in a colourful mini dress, that looked incredibly cute on her all the girls awwed at the girl that they all knew as Piper.
Their meeting would be stated for another time.
Part of her hair was tied in a small high side ponytail, adding to the girlâs cuteness as well as her fringe. They just hope the girl wouldnât become a bully like the other two. But whenever they tried to come up to her she was always too shy and would bury her head in the girl Rosina.
The little girl nodded before going over to Marinette and trying to help her up. Even if she was shy of the class somehow the bullies were able to warm their way into the girlâs heart, it seemed surreal.
What did they have that the rest didnât?
âDonât worry Piper Iâm fine you donât have to worry about me.â The girl nodded before hugging her after noticing everyone was still glaring at her, or rather Marinette.
Before they could even sit-down Lila just thought she should tell the class her thoughts.
âShouldnât Piper be around some nicer people? I would hate to think what would happen if she continues to be in that type of environment?â She said sneakily yet no one seemed to notice while they all still nodded.
Rosina although knew about the situation between her friends still always wanted to remain positive for her besties and besides, she was great at being civil.
âWhile I appreciate your concern, Layla-â
â-Lila-â
âLayla, my seat is assigned here, and Piper would tell me if she wanted to move. So, Piper, would you like to-?â
âNo thanks,â A barely audible voice spoke before she could even finish.
âWell you heard it folks the answer is no. Hey, Piper, you want to draw something?â She nodded enthusiastically and started drawing while Lila wasnât finished.
âBut Iâm worried. Iâve been to multiple care homes and helped out whenever I could, and all children love me. You can just leave her with me, Iâm sure it would be good for her to spend some time with new people.â The rest seemed to agree with her and started to encourage both girls to hang out with them instead, even if the child had previously said no.
But Piper had been focusing on some particular words.
Leave her with me.
Leave her.
Leave
Leave
LEAVE
âNoâ
âNo no no, p-please donât leave me, p-please y-you promised me you would s-stay with me!â
Everyone stopped, they didnât realise the girl would be so upset over this. Even Lila, she was mean but not heartless, especially to a kid.
The three girls at the back tried to comfort the girl with her worries, one bluenette especially worried.
But that didnât stop the Akuma from entering. MylĂšne had been the first person to see it.
âQuickly move! The Akumaâs headed for the girlâ Even if the teacher was there what could she do? Become Zombizou and have to go through all those Kissy Boo again? No thank you.
Rosina didnât know what to do. Sure she had faced Akumatized victims before and helped Ladybug (Marinette) whenever she could, she was an amazing fighter, but that was all after the Akuma.
At that moment Rosina was concentrating. She focused her feelings, learning that you must keep a level head in this city, she had to make sure to display positive emotions all the time.
So she threw all of that out the window.
The Akuma had nearly touched Piper but quickly changed course once more prominent emotions appeared. Surely Hawkmoth would prefer a capable fighter to a little girl?
Hehe, youâll see.
There was a bow in her hair, just begging Hawkmoth to Akumatize it.
And so, that was how everyone stood in terror to the girl with the magical pink mask on her face.
***
âHAWKMOTH!â
âRosina please control it you have to!â Marinette grabbed onto the girl, trying to calm her. Tikki looked apprehensive, there was no way Marinette would be able to turn into Ladybug now, all they could do was wait.
âAngerella, that anger is nothing like Iâve felt before. I am Hawkmoth, I see all you want is to protect your little girl, I can give you the power to make that come true, all I ask is for Ladybug and Chat Noirâs Miraculous.â Hawkmothâs offer and voice seemed so tempting.
âI can protect and conquerâ No. No this couldnât be possible, all thatâs left would be the purple substance covering her, she was going to have to fight her friend.
A friend with a lot more fighting experience.
âŠ
âIf I cared.â Marinette breathed a sigh of a relieve, as well as Adrien. She knew she shouldâve trusted her newfound friend but she was so scared. Sheâd make it up anyhow.
âWhat!?â
âNow Hawkmoth, I have your attention and you best listen to every word I sayâ The class looked on in anticipation, some had run off to try and get some help from teachers. Alya, thinking it would be great for the Ladyblog, started recording the whole ordeal.
âThat girl you were about to Akumatize, if you ever try to Akumatize her again I will give you hell. Not even the heroes would be able to protect you from my wrath, understandâ
ââŠâ
âYour answer is duly noted. Now!â She but her hands on her head, seemingly struggling with the sudden Akuma. Was Hawkmoth increasing his control?
âGet out of my head! Now!â
âŠ
Swoosh
âIt's⊠GoneâŠâ They didnât expect that to happen, certainly not.
So they cheered and raved how great and cool she was able to do that. Alya cheerfully exclaimed how excited that scoop she was able to get and posted it on her blog right away.
âRosina are you ok? You had us so worriedâ When Rosina stumbled because of her unbalance, Marinette held onto her tighter, that ordeal really frightened her.
âI-I -pant pant- just need a moment, can we get some air? Please?â She nodded and the four immediately left.
âRosy? Are, are you ok?â Rosina smiled and hugged the girl as they approached the entrance.
âOf course, donât worry Liâl Piper, no one will ever hurt you, if Hawkmoth knows whatâs good for him he will stay away from you.â She rubbed her head as the little girl smiled.
âI gotta say that was impressive, you had me worried for a sec but of course youâd be able to pull something like that offâ The blonde lifted her ponytail up and down while commenting the tired girl.
âThanks for your belief. I never wouldâve forgiven myself if I hurt either of you. I love you two so muchâ She hugged them both surprising them more.
âWe love you more Rosina. But please donât scare us like that again. Angerellaâ Marinette couldnât stop the light punch coming from the redhead before they all laughed.
All the while Hawkmoth in his lair was coming to a conclusion.
âShe is the one who will bring me both the Miraculousââ

I just noticed this was more about the OC than salt so sorry, Iâve never done salt before so hopefully, Iâll get better as time goes on. But anyway I hope you liked it and I may do another one to add more details if you want.
So, I think Iâm going to have to upload this one before the salt SongFic because it has one spoiler that will make sense if I upload this before the SongFic.
The episodes Timetagger, Chat Blanc, Felix, Loveater and Miracle Queen will not happen. If you havenât guessed. I might add more but Iâm not sure, Iâd have to go through each episode. Also, I donât really care what happens in season 4 Iâm going by my ideas.

The limo was a first for our sliver-eyed hero. She was used to being on foot or using her âspecialâ transportation, and a limo was too big to construct. Instead, she looked out the window, she could see so many different sites she hadnât seen before, she so had to take her newfound friends there, until she remembered that they had probably already visited.
âRosina, do you have any idea why Father invited you? Not to be rude but Father never invites any of my friends, heâs normally too busy for this, but now it seems different.â She looked back at him and he did genuinely feel confused, but then she saw something else.
âHeâs Adrienâs Dad and a famous fashion designer. He never lets him out of the house except for school, photoshoots and fencing lessons. He doesnât even allow his friends to come over and visitâ
âIâm as much in the dark as you are, but donât worry Adrian, no matter what happens, weâll get through it together, so there's no need to worryâ He looked almost hopeful, just how bad was Gabriel she mused?
Until the limo stopped.
âWeâre hereâ
The door opened courtesy of the Gorilla with Nathalie by his side. She looked around, amazed by its structure and area.
âWow, this is like, two houses stuck togetherâ Nathalie and the Gorilla gave questioning looks while Adrien was gently guiding her towards the door.
âSensational, it looks even bigger on the inside. Iâve never been in a house so bigâ
âI appreciate the compliment Miss Scoatsâ They turned to see the famous fashion designer before them.
âAnd Iâm pleased you came on such short noticeâ He held out his hand, shocking Adrien the most, heâd never willingly made contact with anyone, not even him.
âIt wasnât a problem Sir. I just hope I havenât done anything that would damage my image. I am confused about why you decided to invite me, howeverâ
âLet us discuss matters privatelyâ He started walking towards the room he spent most of his days in, Nathalie followed despite the privately being said, and Adrien was about to be whisked away by his bodyguard. That was until he felt a tug on his arm.
âIâm sorry but I would feel a lot more comfortable with Adrian with me, Sir.â You couldnât tell if Gabriel was annoyed or considering it but nodded after a moment.
Adrien, however, was glad he was included, plus he didnât really want to be spending all his time in his room when one of his friends was downstairs, the last time his friend had a meeting with his Father⊠It didnât go so well.
âItâll be alrightâ He squeezed her hand comfortingly before they made their way inside.
âBy your indication, you donât have any idea why youâre here?â They both nodded as Adrien spotted Nathalie on her tablet, it looked like she was pulling something up on the screen in front of them.
âThere was something that had caught my eye when it showed that my Son was included in this video, does this jog your memory?â
âOur fencing match? I remember Alya posted it on her blogâ Adrien reasoned with himself while Rosina was still confused.
âWhat's a blog?â
âAhem, I have to say Iâm quite intrigued by your impressive set of skills. And Iâm willing to make an offer.â They both looked surprised, well more Adrien than Rosina.
âIf you will become Adrienâs bodyguard where our other cannot, to protect him in school hours, your payment will be substantial. With the rising activities of Akumaâs I wish he would be protected more than Iâm able to give him.â
Adrien.Exe has stopped working.
Was this?
Was this his Fatherâs way of providing him with another friend?
So, the gods did love him, he knew his Father cared about him, he knew it.
Now he wouldnât be alone as much, he could spend time with one of his friends.
âIâm sorry Sir but I canâtâ Her head lowering into a sort of bow.
And then he stopped again.
Why? Why couldnât she stay with him?
All he wanted was to hang out with someone.
âWhy not?â Gabrielâs voice was callous. And Adrien really hoped Rosina would be emotionally strong enough to withstand an Akuma.
âWait, Rosina, I donât mind, I really wouldnât mind having a friend near me. I think it would be good for me someone as strong as you. And Iâm sure Father wonât mind you having as much free time as you want. Right, Father?â He turned and prayed to whatever god was out there now. He felt happy when Rosina wanted his opinion, it felt nice someone wanted him to be heard rather than someone speaking on his behalf. But he hoped his Father wouldnât mind.
âReally, I was really worried, that and I donât work so well cramped inside all the time, would there be a way to have some lessons outside? At the park perhaps?â She wondered out loud, it was like all of Adrienâs prayers were being answered right now, Father would have to let him go outside for Rosinaâs proposition. Wait, could she read his mind? Heâd have to get his foil hat from his emergency box.
âI believe there are some aspects I can negotiate on, but is this a deal?â His hand was still stretched out.
âOf course, although there was something else, Iâd like to mentionâ Gabriel was getting a bit restless here, how many times would she add to her previous comments?
âWhat would that be?â Everyone sans Rosina could tell Gabriel was getting mad, there werenât a lot of hints, but they were there.
âI was wondering if I could help Adrian with his languages?â He rose an eyebrow, even if he wouldnât have believed she had super fencing skills he couldnât place her with being multilingual as well. There had to be a test.
âIs that so?â Adrien paused, if he had to guess that sounded German, and then the panic-struck in, he was testing her! Oh no, there was no way he could be this lucky in a day, maybe it was his destiny to be alone.
âOf course, Sir,â They all seemed surprised.
âThat wouldnât be all you know would it?â He switched again, Italian?
âIf not, I would be Trilingual but as I said Iâm Multilingualâ Her smile never wavered.
âImpressive, a number of all the languages you know will be helpfulâ He ordered, but Rosina didnât seem to mind.
âOf course, Sir: Morse Code, Binary, French, Italian, German, English, Mandarin, Russian, Japanese, Arabic, Latin, Spanish and Thai.â They looked at her in disbelief while she rubbed the back of her head.
âI travelled a lot when I was younger, and Aunty still makes sure I remember all of the languages on top of⊠Other things.â She seemed to trail off, Gabriel and Nathalie noticed but either didnât care or didnât comment.
âThen I suppose I can allow this to happen, now Adrien, if you would like to show our guest around, I have some important matters to attend to.â He couldnât keep the smile off his face.
âOf course, Father, câmon Rosina Iâll show you the dining room firstâ He offered his hand out as they walked off.
***
âAnd thatâs how Rosina became my tutor/bodyguardâ All of Adrienâs friends were on his computer screen, looking ecstatic.
âThatâs great dude, at least now youâll have some company.â He nodded.
âWow Rosina, thanks so much for doing this for Adrien, thatâs so nice of youâ Rose praised as our red-haired heroine rubbed her head again.
âI didnât really do anything, Mr Agreste was the one who gave me the offer, I donât even get why though.â
âBut donât you see? This is perfect, with you having to spend more time with Adrien that means weâll all have to spend more time with you. And that means weâll all soon become closer friendsâ Lila presented the idea as they all praised her like they had become accustomed to.
âPlus, whenever me and Adrien have our photoshoots, Iâm sure I can tell all of you the location of where weâre stationed. That way weâll have more time to hang out outside of school. Wouldnât that be amazing?â
âLila I canât believe how smart you are, why didnât any of us think of that before?â
âBecause youâre too dumbâ She wished she couldâve retorted but held her tongue.
âI donât know, I donât think my Father would be too happy about that.â He grimaced; he would hate to see his Father angry.
âOh, donât worry Adrien your Father loves me, Iâm sure heâll let it slide. And besides, after the many times youâve had to cancel on get-togethers donât you think it's fair?â There it was again, the disappointing stares of his classmates. Why did it hurt he wondered?
âFine, Iâm sure he wonât mind, I hope.â He muttered but no one heard that part. Except for the girl next to him.
âAnd donât worry girl, we havenât forgotten about you, how about we all go out to the arcade next week?â This worried the girl. A, she didnât know how her other friends would react, B, her Aunt had made it clear they needed to find the Trinklets and C, what the hell was an arcade?
âIâm sorry guys but I err already promised to hang out with Mari and Chlo, weâre bound to have a sleepover at one point I just know it.â God, she looked adorable, they really wished they didnât have to ruin their image of her âfriendâ.
âI hate to tell you but there is an 83.98% that Marinette will cancel on you?â
âI hate to put this short, but I think me, and Rosina should start studying now.â
âOk, we know how your Father can be, weâll expect your answer at school ok girl, please come to your sensesâ They all hung up.
âWhy are they so mean to Mari?â She whispered this to herself. But Adrien was able to hear it.
âHey, donât worry about it, it will all work out in the end. Weâll all become friends just like the old times⊠Just as soon as Marinette apologises.â
âApologises? What for?â Adrien winced knowing heâd have to tell her the truth.
âLila is lying to everyone for attention. Marinette and I are the only ones who know about it and while she wants to call her out, I think we should let her have it her way. Sheâs not hurting anyone, so I donât understand why she wonât take the high road?â Now Rosina was just confused. Unless you had to lie for certain situations, her Aunt always told her lying was bad, why did he have to overlook it?
âAnd I know itâs a huge favour to ask you, but do you think you could overlook it as well? I would hate it if you became despised because of this. Please?â He put his hands together in a praying position as she stared at him.
But before she could answer, Adrien got a notification, and he knew what that type meant.
âOh no,â He took his phone out to see what type of Akuma he would be facing off today.
âWhat is it?â Rosina looked puzzled and Adrien was quick to understand why.
âOh right, this is your first Akuma attack right?â She nodded and Adrien sighed, how was he going to get away now?
âYou should stay in the bathroom, itâll be saferâ Before he could retort she was already pushing him into his bathroom. And with her out of site Plagg flew out.
âWell now looks like youâve got yourself another friend huh? How many girls are in your corner now?â Plagg snickered out as Adrien rolled his eyes.
âThere's no time for that, now Plagg! Claws Out!â
âI should be getting paid for thiiiiiiiiisssssssssssâ But as he was transforming, he couldâve sworn he heard his bedroom window open.
But he paid it no mind, it mustâve been something else.
***
âWell, Bugaboo what seems to be the situation?â He seemed to slip right in the battle while Ladybug swung her Yo-Yo around to avoid a blast.
âI told you before, stop calling me Bugaboo!â
âYou know you love it MâLadyâ He winked as he blocked an attack on his end whilst Ladybug rolled her eyes.
âSo, what seems to be the situation? Another love Akuma perhaps?â
âIn your dreamâs Kitty, their actually called SleepSis. Make sure you donât get hit or youâll end up as a sleeping statue. The more statues the stronger she getsâ They were back to back as they awaited her next attack. She seemed to attack from the shadows, but her next attack would be unknown to the two superheroes.
âLadybug! Watch out!â It was a familiar voice, more so to one than the other but familiar all the less.
It had looked as if the voice had stunned the pair as she mysteriously hit one of the blasts away.
âAre you ok Ladybug? I really hope I wasnât late to the battleâ She worried as Ladybug approached her.
âIts fine, Chat Noir only just got here as wellâ Chat blinked, hadnât he seen her before?
âHey, havenât we met?â He scratched his head as all three had to defend themselves from the Akuma.
âYep, Iâm Crisono Tassa, Iâm new and here to help. I wish weâd met under better circumstances. Oh, and by the way, I love your ears, are they real? Can I touch them pretty please?â Now, why did that sound so similar?
âCrisono you need to focus; this is your second Akuma battle and theyâre all different.â
âOk Ladybug.â
âWait wait wait. You seriously canât let her stay Ladybug? Sheâs just a civilian, she can get hurt. Iâm sorry Crisono but you have to leaveâ He wasnât usually the stern one, but Ladybug wasnât being reasonable.
He saw how they both glanced at each other before continuing on, did they just ignore him?
âDonât worry Chat, I thought that too, but she is a capable fighter, Iâve seen it myselfâ He didnât want to believe it at first but if his Lady did then so would he.
âOkay, then I hope we get along Crissiâ He was able to place a kiss on her hand as Ladybug had to yet again block an attack.
âChat! Focus!â
âOk ok, so what's the plan then MâLady?â To make up his mistake, he then blocked an attack that was meant for Ladybug.
âI think her mask is the Akumatized object, I need you to distract her while I sneak up and take itâ
âSure thing, but I will need my cat nap soonâ Ladybug groaned at his joke, while he heard Crisono giggle.
âAt least someone appreciates my humour, well shall we go Crisono?â He offered his hand out, she inquisitively looked at it before smiling.
She pulled him along instead, Ladybug couldnât help the little bit of laughter she let out. She called out her Lucky Charm only to be given two planks of wood. She looked around but couldnât find anything with her Ladybug vision. Did she have to wait? But for how long? What did she have to do?
Meanwhile with the adventures of Crisono Tassa and Chat Noir.
âThis isnât how it works but okâ She laughed as she threw Chat across the street.
âHey, Iâm not just some ragdoll you can throw. No matter how far you throw me Iâll always come backâ
âReally? But what if I threw you out of Paris? I say I can beat SleepSis before you can run back hereâ The attacks were getting more and more havoc as the two newly acquainted heroes teased the other.
âHow dare you two treat me like a joke, Iâll show you the real power of SleepSisâ
âThen show us your power, I wish to see what else Hawkmoth can doâ A pink mask appeared on her face but before Crisono could register that, she became the more prominent target.
âHey, Iâm here too! You want a piece of me!?â Chat would be lying if he said he wasnât at least a little bit worried about the newbie. He was still ever so slightly mad that Ladybug knew about her and didnât tell him about it, but maybe there was a reason for that. He tried to apologise but couldnât find her anywhere. And besides, his Lady would tell him eventually, they were partners.
Right?
âCâmon, just a little further.â His ears picked up to Ladybug, ahh the sight could put his mind at ease. The love of his life, he would do anything for her. To admire her beauty was something he could do forever.
âChat lookout!â His Ladyâs voice was captivating as well. He wouldâve continued his thought process until he was unpleasantly shoved aside.
He expected to be able to joke about not paying attention since she had stolen it, but he didnât. because his Lady wasnât the one in front of him.
It was Crisono.
And she had been hit.
***
âCrisono!â Ladybug had to stop her plan as a fear of dread kicked in. She heard Chat shout out her friend's name and panicked when she saw Crisono on the ground.
âOh no,â But then something happened, her vision was showing her a plan.
The wood.
Her Yo-Yo.
Chat Noirâs Baton.
Rosina and her Sabre.
âChat Iâve got a plan. Grab Rosina and come backâ She blocked some more attacks as she was in SleepSisâ vision.
Chat did what he was ordered, and they made their way onto a building.
âIâm sorry MâLady, she took the hit for meâ
âIts fine Chat Noir, weâll sort this out together I promise.â He smiled at that as he helped Ladybug with whatever her plan was.
For the time being, SleepSis was trying to track the fellow heroes down, but she couldnât find them.
âHurry, Ladybugâs time limit will be up. Find her immediately!â Hawkmoth ordered.
âYeah yeah I know.â She heard a thud behind her and released an attack which made contact. She smirked in victory, but it vanished as she saw what she hit.
âDamn it, Ladybug using you as a shield was clever. But donât think it will stop you from winning.â She looked up to see Ladybug and Chat Noir giving a smug look. That wouldnât last.
She jumped to meet them but was stopped, by⊠The redhead?
âWhat?â She was being moved by Ladybug like a⊠Like a puppet?
âIt wonât be that easy SleepSisâ She was controlling Crisono almost perfectly, SleepSis was on the edge.
âChat now!â What? Wasnât Chat with- No heâs gone! Where is-
âGotcha -Grabs The Mask- Cataclysm!â He destroyed it making the woman become De-Akumatized.
âTime to De-Evilize!â She did her usual routine as she cast the Miraculous cure over Paris. The ones asleep awoke and continued on their day as it had become the norm.
âCrisono are you ok?â She awoke to the worried voices in front of her, they were surprised when they were trapped into a hug.
âThe plan worked, oh how wonderfulâ They smiled. She mustâve been aware of what was happening.
âSorry about that Crisono, Iâll make sure it doesnât happen again next time. Iâm paw-sively sure of itâ One groaned as the other giggled softly. The duo stuck their hands out, signalling for her to join.
âLike this? Iâve never done a fist bump before?â Chat wouldâve been shocked until she uttered a Faa Lalalala. He gasped as he held her hand.
âYouâve watched Big Hero 6 too?â She had to shake her head.
âSorry, I overheard some children do that to each other, is that not how normal fist bumps work?â He was slightly deflated but maybe he could get her to watch it, he wanted to hang out with other heroes now and again damn it.
âLadybug what do you think, can it be an extension to our routine? As our newest friend, it would be nice to change some things. It would be a cat-astrophe to say otherwiseâ She rolled her eyes before nodding.
âSure, but Iâve gotta go, Bugoutâ She swung her Yo-Yo away as Chat Noir blew a kiss in her direction before turning to Crisono.
âSo how did you meet Ladybug? And how come youâve decided to come to Paris? Are you going to help us with Hawkmoth?â She nodded to the last part.
âMy Aunt said weâre going to stay here till Hawkmoth is defeated, plus it was our next location anyway. We travelled around the world, defeating crime. France just so happens to be next.â He wouldâve asked more questions, but he remembered his Miraculous time limit and had to get going.
âSorry if I stay then the cat will be out of the bag, Cya next timeâ He was about to take a leap.
âWait?â He stopped to be polite, but she could see it couldnât take long.
âErr, did you mean it when you said I was your friend?â She pushed her index fingers together, seemingly looking nervous.
âOf course, a friend of Ladybugâs is a friend of mine. I hope to see you next timeâ He had to quickly leave but he waved goodbye.
âA new friend and a new hero. What else can happen?â
***
âClaws Inâ He made it back.
âSo, what happened out there, you seem happy now?â When their chosen transforms, their Kwami is unable to see anything that happens outside, all they can do is concentrate on giving their special power when the time comes.
âI saw Crisono again, and weâre friends. She likes my puns as well, maybe we can hang out after battles?â He seemed as giddy as a kid on Christmas.
âOhh so it looks like another type of cheese has entered the fray. Huh~â
âPlaggâ He wined. Seriously why does every girl he meets have to become a love interest; it was getting annoying?
âAnd besides, sheâs just a-â
He opened his door.
âAhhh, ouch, boy did that hurt.â
âFriend?â He only questioned himself as he saw a figure come tumbling through his window. Not that he was one to judge, he would sometimes trip and fall onto his floor. He was glad that at times like that no one could see Chatâs accidents.
No, he was questioning the fact why Crisono was in his room in the first place!? Did she follow him and now she knows who he is? Did that mean heâd have to give up his Miraculous? No, anything but that, heâd rather have Lilaâs clinging onto his arm than give up his freedom.
âAh, Adrian it is all safe now, Ladybug and Chat Noir have defeated the Akuma. You have no more reason to fear, should we get back to our lessons?â Ok, now he was confused.
âR-Rosina?
âYes? Is something wrong Adrian? Do you need to lie down?â It clicked.
âYouâre Crisono Tassa!?â He exclaimed, no wonder he liked her, they were already friends.
âOh no I forgot to switch out of my costume again. Oh, Adrian please donât tell anyone, my Aunt will kill me about this mistake, I know exactly what she would say too.â
âH-Hey donât worry about it, I promise I wonât tell another soulâ He held out his pinkie, but she was puzzled.
âWhy are you showing me your pinkie? Is it hurt; do you require medical assistance?â He laughed nervously, and people thought he was sheltered?
âItâs a way to signify a big promise, if we cross our little fingers together, it means weâll remember/keep it forever.â At least, thatâs what his Mum used to say beforeâŠ
âOhhhhh I see now, ok.â She made her first-ever pinkie promise while they smiled. Oh, the happiness radiating off the two newfound friends. And since Plagg was hiding somewhere else in the room, he was able to see who it was. And knew that he would just have to see that old Lady soon.
.
.
She still owed him that cheese. He would never forget that.
***
Hazar. The 6âs chapter is complete, please donât worry, the SongFic will be out afterwards, at least it should be. I needed to make it clear that Plagg now knows who Crisono was. You can decide how Iâm going to use that in the next SongFic.
I hope you all enjoyed this and stay tuned for the next one, I know it may not be what you lot wanted but I had to get info out somehow. Plus, this is my main story. Cya later.
Also 100 Followers? Thanks so much guys Iâm so happy.
Well, here's another one folks. Also, I might struggle with original Akuma motives, designs and powers, feel free to suggest ideas to me. Also, if you have any character drawing requests for me please tell me and I may consider it if I have time. This is probably my longest chapter yet. And I really hope you like my OCâs. If there's any other type of information you want, Iâll try to provide it.

âMarinette are you ok? You look slightly paleâ Sabine mentioned but Marinette just ignored it.
âWhat is she doing here?â Confused by her daughter's random outburst, blinked.
âRosina had wished to speak with you about something, and she seemed so friendly, so I offered her some new types of macarons. She is such a sweetheartâ Sabine pinched her cheeks lightly while Rosina blushed from embarrassment.
âIâm sorry for seeming to barge into your home Marinette, but my Aunt wanted me to talk to you.â The bluenette stared at her. No way was she a fighter, without a Miraculous there's no way they could fight any enemy, Akuma or not. She hoped she wouldnât intervene in any of the battles. With Chat as he was, she didnât want someone else to goof off.
âOk, Maman Iâm going upstairs, we err have some⊠Stuff to sort outâ Her Maman looked so happy at the news.
âOh, Iâm so happy youâve made a friend you can truly trust Marinette.â
âHuh? But I thought-â Marinette grabbed her collar before dragging her off.
âAhh wait. Thanks, Mrs Sabine, I love the macaroons Iâll be sure to take some to gooooooo~â Sabine giggled before taking care of the next customer who just came in at that moment.
âMaster FĆ« why didnât you tell what to do?â
***
âWow, your room is so cool, there are so many materials around here. -Gasp- you have cotton, ah, so soft to the touchâ She continued to ramble on about anything within her room. But Marinette still wasnât pleased.
âWhat exactly are you doing here?â Rosina paused, turning around with a confused look.
âComplimenting your room?â She answered hesitantly.
âNo not that I mean here in Paris. Why are you and your Aunt here?â She questioned further.
âDidnât Aunty tell you? Aw man, long explanations really arenât my thingâ Crossing her arms and looking in deep thought, a realisation came to Marinette.
âYou know my identity, donât you?â She knew already just wanted to clarify before her next statement.
âY-Yeah, so-â She was interrupted.
âAre you going to try and become Ladybug? Are you and your Aunt going to take the Miraculous?â Rosina widened her eyes.
âNo of course not, I would never even think of thatâ
âThen why are you here?â Marinette really didnât trust this girl. Was she lying?
âW-Well Aunty said weâre here to assist the young heroes of Paris. And err yeah thatâs it, Heheheâ
She was lying. She was so hiding something Marinette was determined to get to the bottom of it.
âLook if you're trying to get on my good side you can forget it. You wonât trick me like-â She stopped mid-sentence; she really didnât want to think of that.
âI promise Iâm not lying. Aunty researched everything, Mr WĂĄng once saved Aunty before so this is us repaying him, so that may help, right?â Marinette still narrowed her eyes at her.
âThen why now, this has been happening for a year now, why not before?â She flinched at her words, as if she were on the blink of finding the truth.
âWe were⊠Preoccupied with other eventsâ She looked down appearing to be nervous.
âReally? If youâre just going to lie to me forget it, I donât need another Lila around meâ
âHuh so you know sheâs lying too, was that why you didnât hang out with the class at lunch?â She paused.
Rosina knew Lila was lying?
âHow did you-â
âShe said she knew Mandarin but didnât know what dÄ shĂŹ qÄ«n, mĂ shĂŹ Ă i was, of course, sheâs not multicultural, I doubt sheâs even Italian, I mean I know Aunty researched the class but she wouldnât miss something like thatâ The girl nodded her head in thought while Marinette stood there.
âShe knew? She knows sheâs really lying. Can I really trust her?â She thought until she spoke some words that seemed vaguely familiar.
âIâll stand by you as wellâ No, nonono not those words, anything but those words. Please not like he said.
âS-Shut up. Stop lying to meâ
âBut Iâm not-â Rosina tried to explain herself but to no avail.
âGet out of here, I never want to see you againâ
Boom
âAkuma Alert!! Akuma Alert!!â
âI have to goâ
Before the redhead could respond Marinette had already gone up to the balcony when the red Kwami came out.
âMarinette that was rude of you. She was only trying to help. I may not like Mrs Franchezca but that doesnât mean Rosina is like her. And what if she had been Akumatized? Or even you, Marinette? You need to apologize afterwardsâ She fretted at the thought, she had just been tired of being backstabbed by the people she thought cared about her.
But maybe she wasnât like them.
âYeah Tikki. Iâll apologise and hopefully, Iâll hear her out. But for nowâŠâ
âTikki! Spots On!â
***
âWell, MâLady looks like our fates have crossed again.â Chat Noir was seen racing across the rooftops when he was following where the Akuma was going to be.
Ladybug was swinging her Yo-Yo after him, even if the previous events were still on her mind, she couldnât let them distract her.
âNot now kitty, I have to finish this as soon as possibleâ The cat in question tilted his head in confusion.
âAww MâLady I canât be that bad, can I? What's your reason for this quick evacuation?â
âChat, please. I donât want to talk about itâ Naturally Chat wanted to pry, secrets shouldnât be kept between both of them. He had told her time and again that if she trusted him there shouldnât be anything he wouldnât know.
As he was about to snoop, the sight in front, stopped him.
Someone was running along the rooftops!
With a fencing sword no less.
They nodded before rushing towards them. This wasnât the first time one of the Parisians had tried to help out with an Akuma.
Kagami sure can prove to be a pain in the butt with the number of times she got caught up in the mess.
And donât get them started on Alya.
They were just about to reach them⊠When suddenly.
She leapt off the building.
âH-Hey! What are you crazy!?â Ladybug leapt to catch them as Chat Noir continued to run along the buildings, his Lady could take care of that, until they turned around and whispered.
âMarinetteâ Her eyes widened; it was Rosina. How had she gotten here so fast, and how did she get a fencing sword, they donât have a Miraculous?
She didnât catch instead swinging away, before Chat could intervene a light surrounding her sword appeared and turned.
âWhat the!?â He exclaimed before it died down.
She was safely on the floor but with something moving around her finger.
âHello, you two. Please inform me of the current planâ Her smile was bright but that didnât matter to the 2 heroes. They noticed the thing on the girl's finger, but they needed one answer at a time.
âWho are you? And what are you doing here you couldâve got hurt!â She had to pretend she didnât know her; she didnât want Chat accusing her of more as well.
But before that happened there was a crash as more people ran away. The thing following the girl whirled around her before turning into a⊠Gravelling hook.
âCrisono Tassa is my name, I hope youâll all take note of meâ She winked before going off into battle using her newfound object, with Ladybug fuming ever so slightly.
âI knew she was going to come here, damnit, she canât do anything without a Miraculousâ Chat heard her, and he couldnât keep his anger.
âWhat? You knew who she was and lied about it. MâLady, thatâs not fair, donât you trust me?â
âChat!? I do but first we-â He interrupted.
âYou shouldnât have lied to me how can I trust you if you wonât tell me everything, it's bad enough you deny my affections!â He pouted, waiting for his Lady to apologise like always.
âBut I told you, I donât love you Chat, youâre my frie-â
âBut I want to be more than that! You just donât see how we're meant to be, just because you canât see it yetâ He was annoyed, irritated even.
âFine, it doesnât matter because obviously, if you really donât trust me, Iâm leaving. You donât need me anyway.â
âChat? ⊠Wait Chat!â Using his baton, he scurried off.
âNo, wait!â Ladybug panicked, would she go after him to get some support or put the people first? She knew what she had to do and begrudgingly without her feline, went off to fight the Akuma alone.
But she wasnât really alone.
***
Arriving on the battlefield held, an unexpected view.
The girl, Rosina, was battling the Akuma, and rather efficiently too.
âWow, sheâs actually handling herself out there. Maybe I was wrongâ She looked on in amazement, this was the first time someone without a Miraculous or Akuma was fighting fiercely, dodging expertlyâŠ
Until she saw the Akuma, a giant being who grew after every minute, was about to swipe her feet from under her.
âI knew it was too good to be trueâ She was about to interfere, untilâŠ
That bright light again!? What was happening?
She was being protected, like Carapacesâ Shelter, except it was just a large square, with a circuit board design?
With the Akuma distracted she jumped onto its arm. She successfully dodged all attacks made by its other arm and raced up its arm looking around.
âSheâs looking for the Akuma.â She realised before looking herself. In her Ladybug vision, she finally noticed it.
âRos- I mean Crisono itâs the handkerchief lookâ Luckily the redhead acknowledged the Heroine's words and jumped into the air, making a bee-line for the object.
She caught it in her sword.
âShe did it, she really did it.â She sooooooo owed Rosina an apology but that was incredible. No wonder FĆ« and Tikki knew they could handle themselves. The guy was back to normal as she gave the handkerchief to Ladybug.
But before she could congratulate the girl, a familiar reporter, and a reluctant brunette, beat her to it.
âWow that was incredible, are you going to be a new permanent hero? Which Miraculous do you have, what's your name and where did you come from? Are you a new hero Ladybug came to get? Could you spare a few moments of your time to give me an interview?â The young reporter didnât let the poor girl get a chance to speak before she put a finger to her lips.
âPlease no more questions Alya, but I can say a few words to you. My name is Crisono Tassa and I donât have a Miraculous.â The brunette gasped in surprise; how did she know her name? And how did she fight without a Miraculous?
âLadybug and I may work separately, Iâm not sure about what will happen in the future, but I guarantee to help out whenever, I wish to become a number to each and everyone here. So, I bid you adieu Alya, Lila.â It appeared she flew off, amazing the Parisians enough with a round of applause but with both girls confused about being a number.
What did that mean?
âNo more evil-doing for you little Akumaâ Her usual De-Evilising routine continues before she overhears her ex-best friendsâ conversation.
âWow, a new permanent hero, and she knows my name? My blog is going to get so many hits.â Alya exclaims gleefully.
âWell, of course, it was meant to be a secret but Crisono and I know each other personally. And I told her all about you and your blog. I can help get you an interview if you want?â The girl with glasses squeals with delight and hugs her.
âOh, Lila youâre the bestâ Normally the bluenette girl would be irritated with what Lila said but it was somewhat true. She threw up her lucky charm, having to do it before using the Miraculous Ladybug.
What came down confused her. It was a DS.
âWhat!? What does this have to-?â She looked over it.
It had a game over screen, with the main menu, restart and quit button there. In the background, there was a redhead. She was still so confused. What was she meant to do, surely the battle had already finished what did she have to figure out? But then she saw it.
Restart
Restart
Restart
It had flashed along with the background character.
She knew what she had to do; it was clear to her.
âRosina, please donât go too farâ
âMiraculous Ladybugâ She yelled, repairing everything in her path.
âOh Ladybug, can you spare just a few for me please?â She couldnât stop the smile spreading.
âSorry, I gotta go Iâm about to Detransform. Bugoutâ She Yo-Yoed away leaving the reporter denied of having two interviews that day.
***
âCâmon câmon where is she? I only have a few minutes leftâ Running along the houses to search for the redhead was like finding a needle in a haystack.
âWait I see her. Crisono wait!â She shouted and luckily for her she turned to look at the Heroine.
âLadybug?â Her mask was off, but something felt different. She wasnât smiling.
âIâm sorry, Iâm really really sorry. You really can fight that was amazing. I- Are you ok?â Rosina was still looking down. Her arms hugging her tightly.
âI was lying to you Ladybug. Weâre werenât really here for Akumaâs, that was just extra, and I know I need to tell you, but Aunty said not to tell anyone yet. I feel as if Iâve betrayed you.â Solemn her gaze continued to the ground.
But Marinette wasnât concerned with that, if she continued to feel bad then an Akuma would come.
âWait, donât feel bad. It doesnât matter, your secrets are yours you donât have to tell me until you want to. It doesnât matter ok, just please stop being sad youâll attract an Akuma?â Rosina widened her eyes, she had almost forgotten.
âAhhh, Iâm so sorry I forgot. Aw man, Auntieâs gonna kill meâ Ladybug was able to laugh, so much had happened it was good to let it out.
Until she heard that familiar beeping sound.
And to make matters worse.
âLadybug? Where are you? We need to talkâ
âOh no, if he comes now, heâll see me as Marinette. Iâm doomed, Iâm going to lose my Miraculousâ Ladybug panicked, while Rosina looked deep in thought.
âLadybug I can help but you have to trust me.â A serious expression donned her face, surprising Ladybug.
âHuh? How?â Rosina touched something on her cloak.
âThere's no time to explain, pleaseâ She extended her hand out to her.
âTrust meâ She spoke with no words needed.
âOk I trust youâ she grabbed it.
âPriselioâ She barely heard her before she had to shield her eyes.
And just as Chat peered into the alleywayâŠ
There wasnât anything there.
***
Ladybug had her eyes closed; she still didnât have any idea what was going on.
âHey, Marinette. You can open your eyes; this part is my favourite.â She hesitantly opened one eye. But her other one opened soon after.
In front of her, would be an experience she would never forget.
âWhere are we?â Around her seemed to be a galaxy of some sorts. They were in a tunnel with stars surrounding them in a seemingly endless array of space.
âWhen we get there, I will explain more. Or at least try toâ She wanted to ask further, but it looked like she was concentrating so she didnât want to interrupt.
She looked at her hands, or rather her costume in fact. Shouldnât she be De-Transformed by now?
âThis place has no concept of time, itâs as if it doesnât exist. Thatâs why you wonât De-Transform here unless you choose to. When we go back the amount of time you shouldâve spent here wouldâve passed⊠At least thatâs what Aunty tells meâ She assumed she saw her confused face and answered her question.
Marinette could feel a change in the air, and it seemed like Rosina noticed it as well. Soon it appeared they had arrived with Ladybug astonished at the view. It looked like a forest, but the sky was green, and the grass was blue. The trees were purple and the river running through was pink.
âWow, this place would give me loads of inspiration for my drawingsâ Her eyes bored into everything she could see.
âYeah, I still remember my first time seeing this place. Its where we train and battle against the Revenantâ
âRevenant? What's that?â They sat crossed-legged towards each other. Tikki was there to hear it for herself after Rosina told her it would be best.
âIt's like our version of an Akuma or Amok. There are these Trinkets that are spread around the country that I have to collect before they either awaken or worse crackâ
âIt doesnât ring a bell for me. Do you have a picture of what one looks like?â Tikki questioned. Maybe it went by a different name?
âWell, actually it's all of this. Plus, this Trinket I have on my cloak, donât worry I err purified it? Is that the correct word?â She muttered the last part before continuing.
âIt is like an Akuma if I have to be honest, except when you touch it, you get transported into its world. I should take you one day. There are more things to fight though so Akumaâs are by far easier, at least if theyâre like anything by today's standards.â Marinette shook her head quickly.
âBut they shouldnât be underestimated. You must always be vigilant whenever you go into a Revenant, one wrong move and youâre done. I doubt Aunty would ever let me tell Chatâ
âWhat!? But Chat Noir is my partner, he could help us with this!â
âNo! I mean, sorry for raising my voice but he wasnât there today, why should I rely on him?â Her voice wasnât accusatory, more confused and wanting to understand.
âBut he⊠Weâ
âI understand that you two are partners Marinette, but I can only trust you today. And by what heâs shown me I doubt I could ever trust him by his immaturity.â She nodded to herself, a habit the girl was accustomed to.
âYouâre, rightâ She lowered her head causing Rosina to worry.
âBut hey that isnât to say he isnât a bad guy anyway; I donât even know himâ She was rambling now. Someone stop her.
âBut⊠He is immature, and always thinks it's like a game to him. Iâm always the one who has to carry the responsibility. He doesnât realise how much I have to figure a plan out or it will all come tumbling down. He doesnât comprehend the burden I carry if I might screw up one day. And with everything thatâs been going on, I just donât know how Iâm going to handle it anymoreâ Rosina stopped. Mainly because she saw the tears rolling down the poor girlâs face.
âMarinette youâll attract an Akuma please donât be sadâ Tikki commented, she hated seeing her cry.
âShe wonât Tikki. Nothing from Paris could ever come here, Iâve tried it. Weâre blocked out from there. And besides, I think itâs good if Marinette lets it all out. Never being able to express your emotions could make her have a breakdown in the future.â
She could cry and not have to worry about being Akumatized?
âR-Really?â
âYeah of course, please Marinette it's not healthy for you to be like this. You need to let it-â She was stopped when arms flew around her neck. The poor girl was crying heavily in her arms. The redhead couldnât help but feel sorry for her, had she really been holding all of this back. Whoever Hawkmoth is would get a serious beating when she finds out.
Tikki felt guilt rising in her at the sight of her holder. The inconvenience of being Ladybug and living in Paris meant never being able to be a normal teenaged girl. She too let out some tears and hugged the girl.
Rosina could only try and soothe her with gentle pats and a song.
***
Night had fallen.
The girls didnât notice how long they had sat, talked, cried and laughed in that world before returning to the girlâs home.
Marinette was worried her Parents had checked up on her, but it appeared that hadnât been the case.
âThanks, Rosina, I really needed that, more than I thought I would.â She scratched her head before blushing. It felt like she had made an embarrassment of herself on the first day of meeting her. Rosina seemingly noticing waved her off.
âIt's no sweat Marinette, I couldnât imagine never being able to cry for a whole year. I always stub my toe on something.â Both girls giggled again before the silence settled. Marinette scratched her head again.
âHey so err, are we- we can- I mean can we be friends?â She was hopeful, but she also knew she shouldnât be too hopeful.
But Rosinaâs cheerful smile cleared her doubt away.
âYou really want to be friends with me? Wow, this is such an honour. I would love nothing more than for you to be my first friend Marinetteâ
âFirst?â Rosina slightly grimaced.
âBecause Aunty and I travel to different countries, Iâve never really been able to have any friends. I had to either study or train because of the, you know what. But I would love to be your friend Marinetteâ She grabbed her hand in glee.
âNow my first friend what activity do we do first? Painting nails? Popcorn and movies? -Gasps- Can we have sleepovers?â Marinette had to cover her mouth to stop the further questions that tried to fly out her mouth.
âI think it's getting late now and weâve gotta go to school tomorrow, but we can do whatever you want tomorrow if you want. Unless if, you know what happensâ She was the only one to laugh at that as Rosina looked on with a sheepish smile.
âYeah, of course, youâre right. It's just that, the place we went. It needs to recharge and err that was where I liveâ
âSo that means-â Marinette felt guilt ridding in her.
âI donât have anywhere to stayâ Rubbing her head she prepared for the voice of concern come out of her friendâs mouth.
âWHAT!?â That voice of concern didnât come from Marinette. It came from the little hatch that entered the girl's room.
âMaman? Papa? What are you doing up here?â Without meaning to they ignored the daughter's wails of embarrassment to turn to the new guest.
âOh, you sweet poor girl, where are your Parents? They shouldnât leave you all alone in Paris, if you were attacked by an Akuma who knows what would happen?â She slightly winced but she knew they were just concerned.
âIt's alright really. My Aunt just has a lot on her plate at the moment, she just accidentally took the key to our apartment. I know she didnât mean toâ Wow, if Marinette didnât know the truth she wouldâve brought that lie, she was good. Not like Lila because hers were actually convincing.
âBut still, oh I know, you can please stay with us. Youâve been so kind and helpful towards Marinette it would be so nice for her to have a proper friend.â Marinette couldnât believe her Motherâs words. She was so kind to even a stranger, it was commendable.
âOh no I couldnât possibly do that, Sir, Mlle that offer is so kind, but Iâll be fineâ
âNonsense, a friend of Marinetteâs, is a friend of mine. Iâll just get some blankets for youâ Tom, Rosina had to guess was Marinetteâs Father, proclaimed and walked down the stairs while she shuffled from spot to spot.
âBut I- youâre not going to let me deny are you?â
âNo honey, now Iâm sure Marinette has some spare pyjamas for you, you two look roughly the same size, now you two get changed and go to bed, I donât want you both being late in the morningâ She mainly aimed that at Marinette leaving her giggling.
âIâll try not to Maman and thank you.â
âYes, thank you, Mlle Sabine, I will help in the bakery whenever I can for allowing me to stay here.â
âOh, sweetie you donât have to. Although it would be nice to have some new companyâ She teased before walking down the stairs.
âSo, err what just happened?â Confused they sat on the sofa Marinette had, the day's events exhausting the two.
âI think you just got adopted into my familyâ She answered honestly. It had never happened before, she was still in a state of shock.
ââŠNeatoâ
***
There was much talk the next day at Dupont. Since they had all followed Alyaâs blog plus Nadjaâs official announcement on the topic, it had the whole of Paris talking.
âJust who was she?â That had been on everyone's mind.
However, that hadnât been the most shocking thing that had happened.
When Rosina, the one they wanted to get to know after her compliment introduction, had walked with someone besides her. Laughing and chatting as if they had been long-time best friends.
It was Marinette, she had somehow tricked her to be her friend!
Crisono was the least of their worries at what they saw next.
Their arms were linked together.
***
Well, thatâs it, I hope youâve enjoyed their meeting, and I hope Iâve kept everyone as much in character as I can. Do you think I should add some more information for Rosina, or should I just state it in later chapters? Do you like the OCâs or do you dislike this idea? Also, I made a drawing of what Rosina would look like as Crisono. I hope you enjoy.
Also, can anyone guess what the meaning of Crisono Tassa is?
I kinda lost track of how many Iâve made at this point, (It's actually 10) but I was in a creative mood and wanted to drabble with the information the superheroes have gotten already. Iâm excited cause Iâm happy with the artwork I made alongside this, so I really hope you like it.

âSooooo~ you wanted to see us?â A confused black cat hero pondered as he was on top of a supposedly abandoned building. He had gotten a call from his Lady asking him to meet her and Crisono at this specific location. Apparently, the redhead had seen it whilst circling Paris. He of course came and was reunited with the two heroines.
âYes, pardon if I may have intruded on any free time you had but I thought since there arenât any Akumaâs today I should ask for some first-hand informationâ Chat saw a whiteboard behind Crisono, and finally took notice of other belongings that didnât seem to fit with the abandoned building appearance. Maybe this was some sort of hangout?
Maybe that meant they could all watch Big Hero 6?
âChat focus!â
âIt's fine, I wasnât doing anything important anywayâ In truth, he was meant to be practising some piano but that could wait.
âOh good, Iâm glad. Ok, first I would like to know the radius of how far the Akumaâs can go? Whether once someone is controlled will they always be under Hawkmothâs spell or if distance matters?â A map of Paris had appeared while Chat tried to think.
âWeâve never actually investigated that before, weâre more focused on catching the Akuma than becoming a detective right MâLady?â She nods as well.
âBut I guess when there was an Akuma on a train half a year ago, the train driver was Akumatized and led everyone to space by her own free will, so maybe around there.â Ladybug circled the area of the map she believed the spot could be.
âOk itâs a start, maybe one day we can go along the tracks and see if we can nearly become Akumatized? Or possibly get a willing volunteer to help us out? But weâd have to take precautions of course. If we can no longer summon a butterfly, then weâll soon find the radius. That way it could be safer for us as weâll have an area to work with, to see where the mastermind is.â She sure seemed confident.
âIt would have to be on a day no Akumaâs will be sent out, it would take too long to get back to Paris in case thereâs an emergency.â
âI suppose if one of us stays behind to keep an eye on matters here that would be fine, or if we have back up for some momentsâ
âIt depends if Master FĆ« would let us use the Miraculous like thatâ
âIâm sure it will be fine, as long as it's for a better causeâ
âYeah I suppose youâre rightâ Chat watched as they negotiated back and forth, it was interesting. He found it almost enjoyable to listen to them talk, this was all so exciting to him, a mystery yet to be discovered.
Although the way they talked⊠It was like they had been acquainted before.
Before they all knew each other perhaps?
Then did that mean Rosina knew Ladybugâs identity?
âChat have you been listening!?â A stern Ladybug asked. He was caught, he shrugged and gave a guilty smile to her as she put her hand to her forehead.
âDonât worry its fine Ladybug. Cheer up. Iâm sure we can find Hawkmoth soon, with all of our help combined Iâm sure itâll be a victory.â She pumped her fist out with Chat joining in as well. It was nice to have someone as energetic as himself on the Team now. Who knows, maybe Ladybug could lighten up a bit more and learn to have more fun?
âAlthough there are other things to go over as well? I may need an account of all of the Akumaâs that have happened, their powers and Akumatized items, possibly a tally chart of how many times theyâve been Akumatized as well. Then there's where exactly theyâve been Akumatized, it may form a pattern pointing to Hawkmoth. Even the centre of the radius could give up a pointâ She was rambling now, and Chat couldnât comprehend most of what she was saying because of how fast it came.
âHold up Crissi, youâre going too fast. And how long have you been thinking of this? Have you done this before?â She looked over to Chat for an awkward amount of time before blinking⊠Very⊠Slowly.
.
.
âYesâŠ?â
âThat doesnât sound convincing at allâ What did she have to hide?
âYeah youâre probably rightâ
.
.
.
âLet us get back to business, shall we?â They spent the next hour coming up with potential plans to do in their spare time.
***
It was afternoon by the time they had finally finished.
They all went their separate ways to rest and hopefully continue further on another free day. She knew it would take a while before she could get an account for every single Akuma that had ever happened.
Hopefully sooner than later, Crisono still had a lot to talk about.
The duo was impressed with her vast knowledge of ideas for this type of thing, she definitely did this before, but with what a black feline couldnât work out.
Crisono had taken to swing through the buildings of Paris to relax, she had done too much explaining in a single day she needed to stretch herself. Her Aunt had nagged her to teach them more about the analytical side of being a hero⊠The detective side basically. And she didnât believe Ladybug and her Aunt would be comfortable in the same room together. So regrettably she had to take on the burden. And it had burnt her out, she sighed as she tried to think of anything she may have forgotten before she spotted someone standing on a rooftop.
âIs that-? It is!â She smiled with glee, she was able to see two of her friends in a single day, and not even with school playing a factor.
âWhat are you doing here- More importantly, how did you get here!â Crisono pointed to her grappling hook before plopping down on the railing, sitting on it. It was extremely cold and uncomfortable, but she was this far already she can stick it out.
âI was out with Ladybug and Chat Noir, since Iâm still new here I wanted as much information we had on Hawkmoth and Akumaâs. So, Iâll probably start asking for first-hand accounts from peopleâ She probably shouldnât be divulging this type of information to a civilian, but she was sure Ladybug wouldnât mind, after all, they were all friends.
âThat wonât work, Akuma victims forget everything afterwardsâ She mumbled into her arms but Crissi could still make out every word.
âWhy did you become a hero?â She was surprised by that question, normally theyâd talk about other common teenager things, or as common as Rosina would read about them in magazines.
âWell, my Aunty asked me if I had wanted to become one when we were fighting, err crime. She trained me all my life but always made sure I was safe. I really wanted to become a hero because I wanted people to think of me as a numberâ
âIâve always known my number to be lower than everyone else's. But thatâs because I havenât interacted with anyone else before now. And Iâve⊠Accepted that it wonât be higher, but to be someone elseâs number, without having to receive anything in return would just be bliss to me. But I know when not to push it.â She stood on top of the railings and started walking around, she was getting antsy from staying in one place.
âBut I blew it. I failed at the first rule of being a hero, I was so angry at my Mother that I exposed the fact I had the Miraculous. And because of my anger and ideals of being a heroine, I put so many people in danger. People could've been hurt but I was more focused on thinking I was a hero than being a hero.â
âYouâre just saying that because youâre my friend. No one will believe me, hell I donât think I could believe myself. Iâm utterly ridiculous for thinking I could even be a hero anymoreâ She argued back, even if they were friends she didnât know for how long, what if she did something she couldnât take back, if she went too far because she wasnât aware of self-control, what if she was left all alone again? What if-
âBesides, I think I have an idea on how you can be a hero Chloâ
***
âWhat do you mean it wonât work?â They were both on the balcony at their newfound home. They had to either stay there or go on different roofs after Marinetteâs Parents would come into the room unannounced, and as much as Rosina found it endearing, it wouldnât help the duo if they overheard them being heroines.
âI guess I didnât think of it like that. When people have loved ones to consider getting hurt that makes revealing stuff trickerâ Marinette gave a confused look before she realised what she meant.
âTrickierâ
âOh? Thanks, Mariâ It was silent as they look upon the night view. Rosina thinking of ways to help her friend. To be a hero in and out of costume.
âMarinette calm down, youâre thinking too far ahead again!â Tikki insisted, floating up to place both her hands on Marinetteâs cheeks.
âTikkiâs right, it hasnât happened so no need to worryâ Rosina was trying to remain positive; she swore she would never attract another Akuma ever.
âRight⊠Thanks, guysâ
âIt's too bad you canât change the costumes, Aunty told me since its magic no one can tell who it is behind the mask so a costume change would be great⊠No idea why no one knows it's me then?â The bluenette jumped when she heard what the other had muttered out.
âWait- What was that?â She asked.
âYeah, no one knows it's me even though I donât have magicâ Thinking that had been what Mari was talking about, she finished with her trademark smile.
âIsnât your ring magic?â
.
.
.
âI thought it was just a special worm on a string?â She was so confused.
âSo thatâs what it wasâ
ââŠI meant the other partâ Marinette sweatdropped. Her behaviour shouldâve been expected at this point, but she was still random.
âChanging costumes?â She tilted her head as Marinette's smile widened. She had an idea.
âTikki, you said that the Miraculous responds to the Chosenâs wishes of what outfit we have right?â
âYes?â She was just as puzzled as Rosina.
âThen would it be possible to change it again?â Tikkiâs eyes widened.
âOh, I see yes of courseâ She nodded in understanding.
But of course, she was used to it. Besides, she could call them later on⊠Wait Rosina still didnât have a phone.
âI know. I declare for my first act of being nice, Iâll get Rosina a phone. Sheâll remember the first phone so much sheâll never get rid of it.â She starts looking at phones for her friend. Which one would be the best for her, which had the best reviews, which one was the easiest for her to use considering she doubted sheâs ever had one before?
âThat one looks cute, ugh this is so boring, I wasnât made to be a search engine. Ughhhhhh, I want Jean to do this, but it has to come from me⊠How does anyone do this? I hate my lifeâ She dramatically flopped onto her bed; all the woes of her thumb aching fallen on Death ears.
âActually, two conditionsâ She nodded, whatever it took to be a hero for Ladybug, no for herself. She had to prove it to herself the most before heroing.
âYou have to think of that design once you transform, Pollen has already seen it and knows, once you both think of it, youâll be able to change it. And you must change your nameâ The two heroâs smiled.
âWait, what about Sovereign Stinger?â The blondeâs head perked up.
âHaving a supreme rank aspect like a Queen, as well as a quality for a Bee ⊠Well?â
âWell I guess itâll do; Iâll keep it for now before a more efficient name matches my gracesâ Secretly she loved the name. It was long and was fancy, as if sheâd change it, she just didnât want to seem like she enjoyed it. Another hug ensured before Ladybug had to leave and go back, Crisono copying her.
âLook, Rosina, I know you donât have aâŠâ She muttered something the girls couldnât figure out. Baffled for why the girl was blushing so much.
âSo⊠I- ugh, here!â She shoved the gift into the direction of the redhead. Rosina swivelled around to sit on the desk, her Aunt told her when receiving a gift, you must sit properly, or itâll be rude, and she didnât want to be rude to her friends.
She pulled a rectangular box out of a pretty bag that Marinette deduced cost a bomb itself.
âA⊠Phone?â Rosina tilted her head, showing she was confused.
âS-So we can all keep in touch. Itâs a bother having to text Marinette every time I want to tell you something so this was a better solutionâ Rosina wouldâve hugged the girl then, but she held up her hand.
âHold on you havenât opened everything yet, one of them is for you D- Marinetteâ She caught herself, thank god.
Marinette took the bag and out came two phone charms. There were three flowers tied in a circle, one blue, one red, and one yellow. Except for the blue on one was bigger while the red remained a smaller size. The reverse effect on the other.
âThey were specifically made for us in mind?â The bluenette concluded.
âHuh? A charm?â The Silver-eyed child guessed, it looked so pretty, she didnât know what it was for. But she was sooo going to keep it.
âAnyway, it's not like they mean anything, they came with the phoneâ Marinette would have given a remark back to the girl, if she hadnât noticed the charm on said girls own phone. She was trying but still didnât know how to say it, she could see she cared though, otherwise, what would the point in getting all three identical charms?
âThanks so much, Chlo, Iâve never had a charm before. Thanks!â The redhead hugged the other, the blonde already used to the affection at this point pat her head.
âYes yes, now get off youâre ruining our clothes.â She couldnât stop the smile from spreading across her face.
Question, should I make some art posts for some ML characters? Like just a short story for any character you request. It will give me something to do and I can further develop a character for my story. Up to you, I just need to hone my drawing skills. I kinda forget stuff Iâve already written about, so I think I havenât stated Rosina has a phone beside the first thing I posted but that one happens in the future.
Also is anyone interested in a final songfic? One last sone for that series to end, it would have Marinette sing the song that was on the piece of paper. Plus plenty of class salt.
