This is a Lilanette/Cerisette wip.

I planify this draft for the @mlbfemslashfebruary event. I will color that in next weeks.

In this draft, Lila/Cerise and Marinette play rock music together. Lila/Cerise plays electric guitar and Marinette plays keyboard. And they make an illegal concert. In this AU, the Supreme from the Re-Verse has forbidden the music. The latter's logo gets vandalized.

About their fashion styles, I am based on Heavy Metal. The two girls remind me of JEM, A Star Is Born, Lady Gaga and some Rock Bands (Europe, The Who, Guns N'Roses, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Nirvana, Twisted Sister).

Lila/Cerise's hair is a wig with a sky-blue dye. Marinette is just Emonette-Shadybug.

Marinette is the Ladybug and Cerise is the new Hesperia for this concept.

In this AU, there is a band called Kitty Resistance (the Kitty Section counterpart). The two girls collaborate with this band.

Bonus (Cerise breaks her guitar):

Bonus/The Cerisette playlist be like:

Extended list:

AC/DC - Highway To Hell

Guns N'Roses - You Could Be Mine

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

Zedd ft. Ariana Grande - Break Free

Bon Jovi - It's My Life

Linkin Park - Numb

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall

Bella Ciao

Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart

Queen - I Want It All; The Show Must Go On; I Want To Break Free

The Police - So Lonely; Every Breath You Take

Careful, Countess- Lilanette Royalty!AU

Finally finished, and I have kinda mixed feelings- on one hand, I'm very happy with Lila's design, but on the other hand, I'm still not over Mari's face change💀

I'm currently working on some ref sheets for these sillies, so expect them out in maybe a few weeks or so!

[lisascumslut78]

would you tell me about your wips 👀 if i looked at you like this 👀 until you told me 👀

OKAY!! finally had time and energy to do this i'm sorry 😭

okay so. most of these are like. darna/darlentina/reginarda and a few odd ones (surprisingly, almost all this is filipino. huh.) but anyway.

let's get the darna/darlentina/reginarda wips out first!!

5+1 things darlentina or five times narda saves regina and one time she doesn't.

this is my baby. the very first fic i've written for this fandom and it's very very special to me lsdkjfsld. i add to it little little by little every once in a while but i dont think it's nowhere near finished (sorry!!) it's basically a rewrite of the whole show so, you know, it's going to be a big one lmfaooo. i'm going to take what i want from canon and throw the rest in the trash. still deciding if i want it chapter by chapter or just one big oneshot thing. hm.

fake dating au

yeah fake dating. although not in the way you'd expect. regina thinks narda and darna are dating. so to keep regina off her back and from finding out she's both, narda thought it'd be a great idea to throw off regina by letting her think she's dating the superhero. this was funnier in my head. this one's a very recent wip, had the thought while in the middle of class one day lmfao

woman of her dreams (yeah no im not good with this)

okay so. basically regina keeps dreaming about this girl since like. she was a child. up until adulthood she keeps dreaming about her. she never has a name, only vague flashes of her facial features, her hands, her smile etc. semi-canon. narda is still half alien, but they dont meet the same. until they do meet and regina's so shocked she falls off the balcony.

gala smut

basically what the title says lkdjflfdfg. i remember working on this when the first few weeks the show was airing and like i was running on pure emotion that time. what a time indeed. well anyway. they fuck in a bathroom. so yea.

a scene rewrite

there was just this really really annoying scene in the show that i just. had to fix ya know? like. girl. she would not say that. so yeah.

friends with benefits au

was once again driven by pure emotion with this. bc like. that would be so so good. it'd be so angsty and like. i haven't really read anything like it in the fandom before so!!

regina almost dies

yeah so if you haven't seen the show regina dies (but only briefly) and like. i wanted to fix that because of how stupid they set it up like. GIRL. she was too far from that tree to pierce her oh my god???

ALRIGHT. i think i'm done with the reginarda wips. on to some other ones i have :D

i'm just going to list some of them off since i don't really remember where i wanted them to go lmfao.

chapter two of my lilanette fwb

lilanette childhood friends au

lilanette secretly friends au

a barbie oneshot

needifer x mean girls au

okay. with this one, my sister and i suddenly had a brain fart thinking what if jennifer survived and needy moved to chicago or something and attended northshore. fucking insane i know. it was supposed to be a collab thing but my sister didn't really want to anymore so i'm mostly the one working on it.

rookie exes au

okay so. rookie is a filipino movie about the new kid who doesn't play volleyball (she only plays basketball), joins the volleyball team, and falls in love with the team captain. the captain dislikes her at first but, you know, her swagless looks and cringe fail autistic personality eventually captivates her. you know, basic shit.

it's a very... feel good movie i would say. it didn't really resonate with me as much as i was hoping it would but, it's a good watch, i think.

i wanted to imagine them not too far into the future but they're not together. (though, the movie leaves us with an ambiguous ending regarding their relationship, first off) i just love exes aus. ough. oh yeah it's sapphic.

this is entirely too long omfg. i doubt it'll be an interest to anyone but maybe a couple of people but!!! yeah i kind of wanted to share this too. kinda.

Lilanette AU

Lila: *getting her blood pressure taken*

Marinette: *walks by*

Lila: *gay intensifies*

The blood pressure meter: *explodes*

The nurse: Damn, I’d say that kind of blood pressure needs medical treatment but I think the better solution is you suck up the courage and go talk to that girl.

Nurse: Although… do come back next week so I can double check, it would be bad if I let you go without making sure you were fully healthy.

Lilanette week 2021 (Day 1)

sunday 6/20 - trapped together | In which The Bubbler returns and no one is safe.

Let’s play pretend and say I’m right on time with this--

#lilanette #lila rossi #marinette dupain cheng #miraculous tales of ladybug and chat noir #miraculous ladybug #lilanette week #lilanette week '21

[oniongentleman]

Lilanette Week Day 1 Prompt: Trapped Together (quite literally) 

Marinette helps Lila fix her jacket. They get to talking while she sewing and, too involved in the conversation to focus on her needle, Marinette stitches the two of them together.

Maybe Marinette is inviting Lila out after she’s exposed as as liar and the backlash hits hard. Maybe Lila’s heart flutters in the chest (the first it has in a long while) at this clumsy girl with two left feet but quick clever hands and stars in her eyes. She’ll accept the invite, hiding a smile (but never her reddening cheeks) at Marinette’s antics. Perhaps Lila learns to charm the world with her quick wit and sharp smile instead of extravagant stories and flashy adventures. Lila will learn value of creating and living her own stories where she doesn’t need an endless cast of celebrities to make it worth hearing. 

Or perhaps Lila is never exposed but she learns to play the field more cautiously. Marinette and Adrien never say a word. Adrien because for all his reckless preening and prancing as Chat Noir, he is a boy who thinks twice before he speaks. And when he looks at Lila Rossi, he sees a girl who is all too much like Chloe and he softens. Lila’s lies are not his to expose and especially not when he considers how they might reflect on Ladybug. Marinette can not hold back the bitter tang of regret when she looks at Lila. She doesn’t know this girl and she created the tiniest of rifts in her heart for Hawkmoth to squirm into. Her classmates who have been akumatized said it felt like they were sinking into a bog of sickening sweet syrup. Their limbs were heavy, their eyes fogged, but every one of their senses alive and thrumming with anger. There was a giddy, nauseous joy in seeing the city burn and hearing screams in their wake. Marinette doesn’t know if Lila felt the same but she knows that if she did, and if she lies awake at night reliving those feelings, she, Ladybug, Marinette, is the reason behind it. So Marinette tries to pry own Lila’s wall of lies. Bit by bit, she chips away at their foundation, and finds that she and Lila are more alike than she thought.

Lila weaves a complicated pattern of half-truths, lies and honesty, so thickly meshed into one another that it’s hard to pick out what is and isn’t real. But this is how she grew up, watching her parents’ pretty lies and fake smiles, and Lila learns that this is how the world is. She moves from one country to another, an endless parade of changing schools, changing faces, and soon there’s no point in trying to make a real connection when no one is there long enough to listen. Lila is used to people tripping their feet for a taste of her stories and is she really to blame if others are gullible? When she lies, it’s always what people want to hear and she’s learned long ago that few care for the humdrum mundance reality of truth when a well-crafted lie can provide so much more fuel for the imagination.  Try as she might, Lila can’t see why that might be a problem.

Marinette likes to think she’s never lied before and maybe she’s right by some standards. She’s never spent hours and hours crafting together a perfect lie, a story that has just enough truth behind it that no one can fully expose it as a falsehood. Neither has she ever tried to decimate someone’s hard work and reputation because they stumbled into her path to success. Marinette’s lies are clumsy things and she thinks that perhaps, just perhaps, if she had Lila’s polished smooth smile and quick flowing way with words, or Chloe’s arrogant confidence and vicious streak, she might also lie. But she has neither and it’s a thought she isn’t entirely comfortable to linger on. If Marinette is entirely honest with herself, she needs to admit her hatred of liars comes from a place where her truth, the part that is truly amazing and miraculous, isn’t something she can expose, and when she can’t, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the baker’s daughter, isn’t something that belongs to the same rank as those dazzling golden lies. 

It takes time. It takes days, weeks, maybe even months for Lila to let her guard down for this strange girl who reaches for her with friendly hands and a guileless smile, but eyes that are incomprehensibly guarded and wary. When Marinette finally admits why in an attempt to come clean (and maybe in a desperate bid for Lila to open up to her), Lila smiles and teaches Marinette to hold a better poker face. 

They are not friends, not really, not yet. 

Lila needs to learn the value of the truth, not just as a foundation to build lies upon, but as something with inherent value in and of itself. Marinette needs to pull back the reins on her immediate dislike of anything posing as something other than itself. They both need to grow and understand what they’re worth without a mask.

At the end though, Lila will know who Ladybug is sooner or later and it’ll be a rough ride. 

In one world, Lila doesn’t need Marinette. She has lived a life of lies with only herself for support and there would have been many more years before she eventually collapsed on that solitary path. But in this life, she has Marinette, and with Marinette came others. The road to friendship (and maybe more) is a slow grueling experience but the day Ladybug stands before her and off comes the mask to expose Marinette, Lila exhales slow and hard through her nose before pinching her friend’s cheeks so hard that tears leap to the superhero’s eyes. 

“That’s for ruining my chances with a cute boy and turning me into an akuma,” Lila says, a grin belying her stern tone. “Now we’re even.” 

Marinette hugs her so hard Lila swears her ribs groaned upon the pressure.

In another world, Marinette can never find the right time to tell Lila her truth and Lila worries, and frets, and grows suspicious. When Marinette finally works up the courage to take off the mask, Lila shatters.

On this route, Lila is taken for a villain and Marinette is a lifesaver she clings desperately onto. Here Marinette is a saviour and Lila loves her for being able to see past the lies she told, for being able to know what she did and still be the first to come up to her with open arms and an extension of friendship that blossoms into more. 

Marinette wants Lila to understand. She wants her to know that none of what she did was a lie (but she can’t fully convince herself it came from a genuine place either). 

“Was it fun for you? Playing me for a fool?”

Lila storms away and Marinette isn’t sure if she should follow or not (she does anyway). Whenever an akuma attacks, Ladybug’s first item of business is to find Lila and whisk her away to the safest location. The top of the Rossi’s apartment is often decorated with a superhero, dangling her legs off the edge of their roof, casting frequent glances at the sliver of light gleaming through tightly shut curtains. Marinette has apologized for many things in her life but she’s never had to apologize for breaking, then mending, then breaking someone again. She isn’t sure she knows how.

It isn’t an easy road to recovery. Lila maintains a chilly contact with Marinette, for the sake of keeping the peace if nothing else. Marinette waits and watches and lets her heart break when she hears Lila muffled sobs through her apartment window. 

When Lila cracks, it’s after months of frosty silence and hearing the softest thump of feet landing on her roof. It happens after she is whisked away, stiff and uncompromising, in arms that seem to be trying their best to be both secure yet politely distanced. The changes are small but to the peope who matter, they’re significant. A pair of curtains, cracked open, and muttered thanks when she’s being carefully set on her feet to safety during an attack. On cold and rainy days, there is a window open for her to enter, though there isn’t any conversation (that will take time). When Lila flinches during a thunderstorm and Ladybug reaches cautiously over to brush a hand over hers, Lila doesn’t move away and they both think that it’ll be okay.

This happens in the Re-Verse from the Miraculous Paris special: Lila/Cerise and Marinette play rock music and form a duo together before merging with the Kitty Resistance (Rose, Juleka, Luka and Ivan). Lila/Cerise plays electric guitar and Marinette plays keyboard. And they make an illegal concert. In this AU, the Supreme from the Re-Verse has forbidden the music. The latter's logo gets vandalized.

Lila/Cerise's hair is a wig with a sky-blue dye. Marinette is just Emonette-Shadybug.

Marinette is the Ladybug and Cerise is the new Hesperia for this concept.

We can see Marinette is blushing about her music partner.

About their music, the two girls compose the instrumental part. It's the band Kitty Resistance who perfoms the vocal and parts.

My entry for Lilanette week day 1, or read it on Ao3. @lilanette-week

Marinette's schoolday had been going great so far. She managed to arrive a couple of minutes early, she hadn't tripped over anything at school, and neither Chloé nor Lila insulted anyone yet. It was only half over, they were about to be released for lunch, but if the second half of the day was just as good as the first, today probably would have been the best schoolday she's had since she became the Guardian.

The familiar sound of several different akuma tracker apps going off at the same time was disappointing but honestly not surprising. She hasn't been nearly as lucky as she used to be.

Most of the class were already pulling out their phones to check the akuma's location. Most of the teachers in their school had long since stopped trying to enforce the no-phone rule for akuma attacks, Miss Bustier included. Marinette, naturally, was among them. She went to swipe to unlock her phone when the screen suddenly changed to show someone's face. The person was unhealthily pale, almost pure white, with neon pink hair and bright blue eyes. She had a lime green domino mask over their face. She was almost certainly an akuma.

"Good afternoon, Paris!" The akuma's voice was high pitched and really annoying. "This is Clickbait, and I'll be your akuma for the day. Don't bother trying to turn off your devices, because I'm not gonna let you." Marinette checked, and, indeed, her phone wouldn't turn off. None of her classmates seemed to have any luck either; Max was even kind of freaking out because Markov's face screen was displaying Clickbait. "Feel free to try change the channel, because I'm on all stations! You've got me for however long it takes for me to take Ladybug's and Chat Noir's miraculouses. But first, I've got an exclusive interview with someone you probably know by name, if not by face..."

The voice was coming from all around her, given every single phone in the classroom was playing her video. So Marinette really thought it was understandable that she wouldn't notice one more voice until a giant robot suddenly rocketed right outside her classroom, with Marinette dropping her phone in shock. Through the windows, she could see a giant humanoid robot with a camera theme; its head was a camera, its hands ended in cameras, it was being propelled by flames that came out of cameras on its feet, and, in its hollow chest cavity, Clickbait was sitting down in a chair, across from another chair, each with multiple cameras pointed at them.

Immediately, her class stood up and began to run out the room. Before they could get very far, however, Clickbait shouted “Freeze!” and the giant mech raised both of its arms to point at the class. Marinette and her classmates stopped running immediately, which caused a couple of them to fall down, with Lila in particular yelping in pain. The robot's chest cavity opened, and Clickbait got out of her seat, walking towards the window. She snapped her fingers, and the robot's right arm shifted its aim slightly and lit up into a laser that blasted through the window and into the wall behind them, laving a hole in both. Then the arm moved back into it's previous position as Clickbait jumped through the hole. “You're not going anywhere, Alya Césaire.” Clickbait smirked.

Marinette's eyebrows shot up. She was honestly expecting this to be yet another akuma going after Chloé. Alya hasn't mentioned getting into a fight with anyone recently...though Marinette supposes she might not have told her about it. Marinette turned her head to look at Alya, who looked as confused as Marinette felt. Clickbait seemed to notice, and she narrowed her eyes. “Do you not even know who I am? Even with my name as a hint?”

“Name as a hint?” Alya tilted her head somewhat, thinking, but then she backed up slightly with a gasp. “Claire?”

“Oh, now she remembers.” Clickbait laughed as she approached Alya. “It seems like the Ladyblogger is too high-and-mighty to remember the little people.”

“That's not...” Alya tried to interject before Clickbait rushed forward to grab her by the throat. Alya, panicked, began to try and pull Clickbait off of her, with no success. Marinette, Nino, and Adrien immediately moved to try and get the akuma off of Alya, but the cameras still pointed at them started to power up in response, causing them to freeze again.

“That's not...what, Ladyblogger? That's not the reason why you rejected my offer of a collaboration? That's not the reason you called my channel nothing but clickbait based around other people's work?” Clickbait started to tighten her hands. “It's Youtube! You need clickbait titles to gain attention! And I'm sorry we can't all get constant exclusive interviews with Ladybug!”

Alya's flailing was starting to get weaker, and Marinette was very close to just trying to tackle the akuma anyway, robot be damned. Luckily, it seems Clickbait noticed as well, as she dropped Alya on the floor. Alya gasped as she struggled to take in air, while Clickbait turned to her giant robot and looked into the camera where the head should be. “That's right, folks!” Marinette turned her head to look at Alya's dropped phone on the table, seeing that this was indeed still being broadcast. “My special guest today is none other than Alya Césaire, the Ladyblogger herself! I can't wait to find out what she's hiding. What's the secret to running a successful blog? How is her love life going? And, of course, the big one, why is she Ladybug's favorite reporter? With the help of my loyal Sentimonster, Bad News, we'll find out.”

Clickbait turned back to Alya and picked her up by the arms. Alya continued to struggle, but she wasn't able to fight against an akuma. Marinette could see out of the corner of her eye Adrien physically holding Nino back from trying to fight her. Marinette could completely understand him, but between the fact he wasn't transformed and the Sentimonster pointing what was basically a cannon at his head, she was glad Adrien was there. The best thing she could for Alya right now was escape and transform to get her away from Clickbait as fast as possible, and she's sure that Carapace would love to help.

Clickbait, with Alya in tow, jumped into Bad News' chest cavity. The akuma forced Alya, who was still struggling, into the chair opposite the one she was sitting in. As soon as Alya was forced back, metal bars came out of the chair, forcing Alya to sit back. Satisfied, Clickbait sat in her original chair and brought out a notepad and pen from nowhere. “Now then, first question...” Before she could actually begin the 'interview', the familiar outline that indicated Shadowmoth was talking to his akuma appeared over Clickbait's face. She listened silently for a couple of seconds, and then growled. “I'll take their miraculouses when they show up. I have Ladybug's favorite reporter here, they'll be there eventually.”

Miss Bustier silently pointed towards the door. Marinette, as class representative, helped direct the evacuation. The class evacuated front the back, and most of it passed without incident, but then they came to Lila, who gestured towards her right foot. Marinette rolled her eyes and helped Lila stand. Lila either was actually injured, or she was really into selling this lie, because she refused to let go when Marinette tried to shake her off. Marinette sighed. It was going to be really annoying to find a way to escape with Lila literally holding onto her.

The rest of the school was already mid-evacuation, without the threat of giant Sentimonster Lasers to worry about. She had picked up her phone from the floor and had half an eye on it as she looked around for an empty spot to transform, and she could see Clickbait was still talking to Shadowmoth. Clickbait shook her head and groaned dramatically. “Fine. You're the boss.” Clickbait then looked directly into this camera. “Welp, sorry guys, but it's not my decision. Blame Shadowmoth, or Ladybug and Chat Noir for not getting here fast enough. Good luck.” Good luck for what?

And then Bad News fired again, sending two of those lasers blasting directly through the roof of her class room. Immediately, the relatively calm and in control evacuation broke into a panic as people began to run away from the Sentimonster and the collapsing building. Another shot, and the stairway her class was taking got ripped in half. Marinette looked over the railing in a panic. As the dust settled, she saw a bunch of her classmates gathered around...

Marinette and Lila both gasped. Adrien was in the middle of the group, laying on the ground, groaning in pain. Nino, next to him, said something she couldn't hear, and Adrien shook his head. Nino rolled his eyes and turned towards Kim and Ivan, saying something else. Then Nino, Kim, and Ivan all picked Adrien up and started walking out the building with him.

“Marinette.” Miss Bustier put her hand on Marinette's shoulder. “Calm down. Adrien is getting medical help and as soon as Ladybug fixes this he'll be fine. We need to get to the elevator.” Marinette hadn't noticed she was beginning to hyperventilate. She took a couple of seconds more to control her breathing and then nodded, right in time for another blast from Bad News to rip through the classroom next to hers.

“Um, Miss Bustier?” Lila asked in a voice that Marinette knew was trying to make her sound as vulnerable as possible. “Are you sure we should take the elevator right now?”

“No, but we don't have a choice. Both of the stairs down are out.” Indeed, when Marinette wasn't looking, the other staircase leading to the second floor was also destroyed, with a bunch of rubble on top of it. “We either stay here, directly where the Sentimonster is aiming, we go to the roof, which is even more dangerous, or we risk the elevator down.” Miss Bustier smiled gently at Lila, clearly trying to be reassuring. “I know it's scary, but we have to move. Alright, Lila?”

Lila's lip wobbled a bit (Marinette resisted the urge to roll her eyes) and then she nodded. “Okay...” she mumbled. Marinette really thought Lila was overplaying things, but Miss Bustier either fell for it or decided it wasn't worth the effort to talk about it.

The girls followed their teacher, slower than Marinette would have liked due to Lila's limp. Marinette was very much hoping that Lila was actually injured, because if she wasn't, Marinette had half a mind to break her leg with her own bare hands. She kept hoping and wishing that Chat Noir would show up and take Bad News' attention away from causing random property damage, but from the occasional cannon shots and the few glimpses of the interview that Marinette caught in between slow steps, Chat Noir hadn't arrived yet.

After far too long, they finally came to the elevator, which thankfully responded when Miss Bustier pressed the button. “Alright, girls, get outside.” Miss Bustier smiled at the two of them, though it didn't reach her eyes. “I'm going to go look for anyone else who might have been left behind.”

Marinette saw her opportunity. “Actually, Miss Bustier, maybe I could go look for people while you help Lila out?” she tried.

Miss Bustier shook her head. “No, Marinette. I'm the teacher here, it's my duty to make sure you're safe.” Well it was worth a shot. Grudgingly, Marinette helped Lila into the elevator, hit the button for the ground floor, and waved goodbye to Miss Bustier's retreating form. The elevator doors closed and started to descend as Marinette planned her next move. She could pawn Lila off on the medical staff that was hopefully outside, and then run home. Hopefully her parents would accept that she's just trying to hide in her room. Then she could transform, maybe go over to Nino and give him the turtle, and hopefully Chat Noir would be there by that time...

Marinette heard a large crashing sound, and then the elevator went plummeting down the rest of the way. Marinette tumbled to the floor, with Lila following on top of her. They weren't too far from the bottom floor, so they didn't fall too far, but it was still a hard drop.

Marinette groaned in pain and annoyance. First that fiasco with Style Queen where she was trapped with Adrien, now this. She was never taking an elevator ever again. “Lila, are you alright?” She asked, worried that she couldn't stand up with moving the other girl.

Lila winced, but managed to push herself off of Marinette. “I'm not any worse than I was before I got in here.” Lila lifted her right leg up, stretching it out, before placing it gently on the ground. Marinette noticed how she was avoiding putting any pressure on her right foot.

Marinette cocked her head to the side. “Huh, I kind of thought you were just faking the injury for attention.” She stood up and walked to the elevator buttons, pressing them to see if they still worked. Unfortunately, none of them seemed to.

Lila rolled her eyes. “Yeah, because that's the sort of thing I'd do. Fake an injury that prevents me from escaping the giant monster and makes me rely on you.” She shook her head, leaning back against the elevator wall. “What kind of idiot do you take me for?”

“The kind of idiot whose genius plan for getting me expelled involved walking down a staircase and hoping no one was looking?” Marinette raised an eyebrow as she tried to force open the elevator doors. They must have been jammed, because she couldn't move them at all.

“Well it worked, didn't it?” Lila shrugged. “You don't need to think smart, you just need to think smarter than anyone else.”

Marinette sighed in frustration. “You read that in a book?” She snapped, sitting across the elevator from Lila.

“Something my dad said, actually.”

Huh. That was the first time Marinette heard Lila talk about her dad. It was usually her mom she was bragging about.

There was no way Marinette was getting out of here without transforming, and there was no way she was going to transform in front of Lila. Adrien is one thing. Marinette would trust him with all of her secrets, except maybe her crush on him. But Lila? The best case scenario Marinette could see about revealing her identity to Lila would be Lila trying to blackmail her in exchange for not immediately telling everybody, and that's assuming Lila doesn't just immediately get akumatized so she can tell Hawkmoth. Transforming would have to be a last resort.

...But only Alya, who was still trapped in the sentimonster's chest, knew she was Ladybug. Her only hope is that Chat Noir rescues Alya, and Alya immediately transforms and gets to Kaalki, who can rescue Lila...but Alya didn't know where she was, and with Clickbait still hijacking her phone, she had no way to contact her without transforming.

It didn't look good, but she had no other choice. Her only option was to sit here, watching Clickbait, and desperately hoping for Chat Noir to show up.

Clickbait's interview with Alya was actually remarkably tame, all things considered. Clickbait asked normal, if leading, questions, like “Is it true that you're Ladybug's secret lover?”, and Alya would answer them (“No, I have a boyfriend.”) Marinette was afraid Clickbait could force someone to tell the truth, or at least detect it, but that didn't seem to be the case...

Her thoughts were interrupted by Lila. “Do you really need to watch that drivel?” Marinette turned her attention towards Lila, who was glaring at her. “It's just a jealous idiot trying to get Alya to say something stupid.”

Marinette scoffed. “Sorry that I'm worried about my best friend?” Marinette glared back. “I know you've never had a friend to worry about, but I'm sure you're smart enough to figure out the concept.”

Lila shrugged, exaggeratedly checking her nails. “There's nothing to worry about. Ladybug will show up and fix everything.”

Marinette blinked in confusion. As far as she knew, Lila hated Ladybug. It was odd to hear her say that she trusted Ladybug to save her and solve the problem. “Fine, I guess. Do you want to talk or something?”

Lila looked at her like she was stupid, but then dramatically sighed. “If I have to talk to you so you stop watching that video, sure, fine.” Marinette put her phone back into her purse, where the sound was muffled and Tikki could inform her if something changed.

There was a couple of seconds of awkward silence before Marinette figured that Lila was waiting for her to say something. “So, um, uh...” Lila rolled her eyes and gestured for her to get on with it. “So how's modeling?”

Lila threw her arms up in annoyance. “Bad. Gabriel has barely called me recently and even when he does he rarely uses the photos I'm in. Claims that Adrien looks better by himself?” She crossed her arms, looking petulantly to the side. “It's stupid. Makes me put in work for no reason.”

Honestly, Marinette wouldn't be surprised if Gabriel was just trying to keep Lila away from his son, but that's just a guess. Outwardly, she said “That's unfortunate.”

Lila just rolled her eyes in response, and another awkward silence occurred. Right as Marinette was about to break it with some other inane question, Lila asked first “So why haven't you done any stupid plans to try and get with Adrien recently?”

Marinette sputtered for a bit. “What? I don't...who told you that?”

“Rose, mainly. She loves sharing everyone's romance drama with anyone who will listen. I have heard way more than I want to about her and Juleka's dating life.” Smug, Lila leaned back against the wall. “You're not dating Juleka's brother anymore, so I'm surprised you're not trying to lock yourself in a refrigerator with him or something dumb.”

Okay, so Marinette was going to have to have words with Rose about what is appropriate to share about her love life, especially with Lila. “I just decided that romance isn't for me, right now. I'm too busy with...other things.”

“Other things.” Lila rolled her eyes. “No wonder you hate liars, you're awful at it. 'Other things.' Do you have stuff to do, too? Maybe some activities that take up all your time?”

Marinette growled. “Speaking of liars, why haven't you said any more big lies? Until today, I could have just pretended you didn't exist for the past couple of weeks.”

“Funny thing about telling your teacher you have a lying disease.” Lila slouched onto her side, holding her head up with one arm. “Suddenly no one believes you about anything. I basically had to apologize to everyone for everything I ever told them.”

Marinette couldn't resist smirking. It's nice to know that something good came out of that whole disaster, even if it did suck at the time.

“So I should tell Rose that her fanfiction isn't going to come true anytime soon?” Lila smirked back.

“Wait, what?” Marinette stood up in a panic. “What fanfiction?”

“Oh, you didn't know?” Lila's smirk melted into a more polite smile. “Rose writes fanfictions about her friends. Her and Juleka, mainly, but she also writes about Nino and Alya, and Ivan and Mylene, and I think I saw a couple of chapters of Chloe and Sabrina. But she really loves to write fanfiction about you and Adrien.” She sat upright again, leaning back against the elevator wall as she checked her finger nails. “I think I even saw a couple of steamy ones. I liked the one where Adrien had Ladybug boxers, personally.”

“That's just...” Marinette shivered for a moment. It was completely unbelievable that Rose would write stuff like that about her friends. It just wasn't like her at all...

In fact, it was completely unbelievable. Marinette narrowed her eyes, glaring at Lila. “That's just a lie, isn't it? You're making that up?”

Lila glared back for a second before breaking out into laughter. “Absolutely, but the fact you actually bought that...”

Marinette definitely wasn't pouting in response. “Hmph.” She turned away from Lila, who was still chuckling to herself.

A couple of minutes passed where the only sound was the muted noise coming from Marinette's bag. Marinette checked to make sure Lila wasn't paying attention, and quickly took out her phone. The interview was still ongoing, though Alya looked a little worse for wear. She couldn't even see a clock on her phone, so she didn't know how long everything was taking, but it must have been at least 20 minutes. Chat Noir should have been there by now...

Unless he was trapped, like she was. Bad News had apparently moved around a lot, still firing lasers at the buildings it passed, so the fact that Chat didn't go to her school didn't really matter. He might have been injured, or simply unable to help. And if Chat couldn't help, Alya couldn't help, and if neither of them could help, then Ladybug couldn't help.

Marinette looked towards Lila, still smiling to herself about her stupid joke.

This was a bad idea. But it was the only idea she had. “Lila.” Lila looked to her, confused at the serious look on Marinette's face. “I need you to not tell anyone about what's about to happen.”

“What are you...?”

“Tikki, Spots On.”
