Part 1 |  Part 2 |  Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7  | Part 8
Warnings:  It’s a bit long hehe? 
"And now I'm pretty sure Chat doesn't like me the same way I like him." I finished explaining everything to him.
Adrian and I were sitting on my couch, Alpha in the coffee table in front of us munching away his brownies.
"What makes you think that?" Adrian asked.
"For one, besides the usual flirt banters, He didn't show anything that could give me a hint that he likes me back."
"I think he does like you."
"How do you know?" Adrian seemed a bit stuck, looking around for an answer.
"Since you've been pretty honest with your secret, I guess I can't keep mine without feeling guilty." Adrian sighed.
"What secret?" I got more confused as he took out a piece of cheese. "Wait, is that what you kept reeking of?"
"Yes, It's the only thing he eats, every single time." I got more confused.
"Who's he?"
"How much longer are you going to play dumb?" Alpha asked while chewing as I cringed. "He means his kawami, Plagg."
"First of all, Don't talk while you eat. I thought I told you that a hundred times Alpha." I scolded before turning to Adrian before it dawned on me as I saw a little black cat attached to the cheese in his hand. "If you have a kawami then it'd mean you're..."
"Yes," Adrian nodded. "I'm Chat Noir." I felt myself blushing, realizing I had just rambled about my crush on Chat Noir...to Chat Noir!?
"You...I...Wait, that explains why you're always going near my locations to change back." I remembered. "Who knew,"
"I thought you were planning to try and sneak a peek at my identity." Adrian chuckled. "But you were just trying to get home too."
"So...When you said Chat Noir likes me back..." I looked to my side, trying to hide my blush.
"Yes, I meant I liked you too, a lot."
"Hey, Plagg. I got a little spot I hide whenever these two get all lovey-dovey, wanna eat there?" Alpha offered, noticing Plagg's disgust.
"Don't have to ask me twice." The two kawami's made their way out as Adrian and I rolled our eyes.
"What happens now?" I asked.
"Well, this is normally the part where we umm, we...kiss." We inched closer to each other as he grabbed my arm to lead me closer to his face, I looked to admire his features, fluttering my eyes shut as we touched lips.
"This counts as us now Girlfriend and Boyfriend, right?" I whispered.
"Of course."
***
"Agent Smith, It's too dangerous! We must evacuate!" Adrian exclaimed as he and Mylène were crouching behind the teacher's desk, water guns in hand.
Our class was filming a movie for a project and Adrian and Mylène were the voted leads. I was going to be the lead girl but I wanted to work behind the scenes, so I play the role of the Assistant Director, while also Mylène's understudy if anything were to happen.
"You're suggesting we run, Officer Jones?" Mylène asked with a determined look. "After it devoured my family, my friends, and even my beloved dog, Sniffles?" She dramatically stood up. "Never! I won't run! I no longer fear it, I'm going to face it, then I'll-" Ivan loomed over as scripted with a monster mask, roaring as best as he could as Mylène broke character and screamed in fear, hiding under the table as Adrian and I looked at her worried.
"Sorry, Mylène." Ivan apologized, taking the mask off.
"Mylène! That's like, the tenth take." Nino scolded, frustrated as he rubbed his forehead. "And we're only on the first scene!"
"Fourteenth actually." Alix corrected, holding up a count from her seat in the back. "But who's counting."
"Ughh..."
"I'm...sorry." Mylène apologized, getting out from under. "I'm gonna do better on the next take, I promise." Juleka was reapplying blush, fixing Adrian's look.
"Anyone want some tea?" Rose offered, holding a portable kettle.
"You're playing a hero from the special forces. You're not supposed to get all freaked out!" Nino lectured.
"I know, but...that monster mask he's wearing is so...realistic and scary!"
"Just big ol' me, Mylène." Ivan stuck his fingers through the eyes of the mask, show how harmless it was. "Nothing to be scared of."
"You ask me, he doesn't even need a mask," Chloé said, laughing with Sabrine as I frowned at her.
"Does it hurt you to be a little bit nicer, Chloé?" I asked.
"Ivan, put the mask back on, you're playing the monster!" Nino demanded. "And Mylène, we need you to stay in character!" Ivan put the mask back on, causing Mylène to get scared.
"I need to sing my happy song, it always makes me feel better." Mylène took a deep breath as she began singing to herself, slowly stepping back. "Smelly Wolf, Smelly wolf." I felt Alpha scoff from my pocket, muttering his offense at her song. "stinky breath and slimy--" She bumped into Adrian, suddenly jumping back, shrieking in fear.
"And the Oscar for the best pathetic scaredy-cat afraid of its own shadow goes to...Mylène!" Chloé laughed, making Mylène feel worse as Adrian looked at her, disappointed.
"Chloé, seriously?" Adrian asked.
"Yeah, so what?" Mylène ran out of the classroom, crying.
"Mylène!" Marinette shouted. "Anyone gonna go after her?" Ivan ran after Mylène, calling out her name as he took the mask off.
"Epic, Chloé! Just Epic!" Nino sarcastically exclaimed. "What are we supposed to do now without our leading actress?"
"Who needs her, anyway?" Chloé scoffed. "She was totally lame!"
"You're lame!" Ivan shouted, coming back in. "Mylène is crying her eyes out on the bathroom thanks to you!"
"Me, Lame?"
"Hey, Hey!" I came in. "Fighting over this isn't going to get this film done any quicker, We'll find a way to get this done by tonight!"
"As a producer, I'll make sure of it too!" Marinette agreed.
"The Deadline for the Parisian Student Short Film Festival is tomorrow evening, precisely 26 hours, 15 minutes and 14, 13 seconds from now." Max clarified.
"Thank you, Max." I smiled.
"And we still have editing, post-sound, soundtrack..." Marinette listed.
"And who's gonna take Mylène's part?" Adrian asked.
"Um, me of course!" Chloé got up from her seat.
"You haven't even read the script!" Alya argued.
"Of course I have! The first scene anyway, I can even tell you that it ends with a kiss between Agent Smith and Officer Jones!" Chloé batted her eyes at Adrian as he pleadingly looked over at me as I moved next to Nino.
"As Mylène's understudy, I'm the one who's supposed to take her place if anything were to happen. Remember?" I reminded Nino.
"Right." Nino nodded as Marinette screaming, looking at Alya.
"You wrote that?!" She shrieked.
"Hold up!" Alya exclaimed skimming through her script again. "I didn't write that!"
"Uh...I wrote that." Nino admitted. "It was just a little tweak. You know, to move the story forward."
"What! You edited my script without even telling me!" Alya gripped onto the collar of Nino's shirt. "That's low."
"Wait a minute! You mean our script!" Nino argued, removing her hands as Adrian and I sighed before Rose came up to us.
"Juice?" We gratefully took a cup.
"Thanks, Rose." Adrian thanked.
"Guys, it doesn't matter who did anything, we have a film to get done by tonight." I reasoned.
"she's right," Max said. "Principal Damocles is only allowing us to use the school until 6 p.m. sharp. Which leaves us 9 hours, 12 minutes, and 12 seconds. 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6..."
"Adrian and Y/n kissing cannot happen! No way!" Marinette hissed at Alya quietly, as so nobody could hear.
"It makes no sense story-wise anyway." Alya shrugged. "The main character's emotional journey-"
"Hold on!" Marinette ran over to Adrian. "We can't let Mylène just leave just like that! It's...wrong!  We all chose her to play the leading female role! And...we're all in this movie together! She needs our support. I'm gonna go find her and bring her back."
"Always trying to save the day, aren't you, Marinette?" Chloé mocked.
"Wait," I said, holding her arm. "I'll go, you're the producer, you're needed here." I left before she could say anything more, missing the satisfied look on her face.
{Third POV}
"Nice going, Miss Producer." Nino sarcastically remarked. "Now we have no lead again!"
"Yeah, but now we'll be able to go look for our real lead!" She argued, hiding her intentions of just wanting to keep Adrian kissing Y/n out of jealousy.
"I told you. Tick tock, there's no time! We need a lead now!"
"Marinette can do it!" Alya exclaimed as Adrian got uncomfortable at the thought of kissing a different girl.
"What?! No! I can't act. I'm... the producer." Marinette started furiously blushing.
"But you wanna kiss Adrien, don't you?" Alya whispered to her as Marinette glanced at Adrian who mentally hoped Y/n can get back in time.
{Y/n's POV}
"Mylène!" I called out as I entered the Bathroom. "Mylène?!" I looked to see nobody was there, missing the monster feet in one of the stalls as I noticed the mirror was covered in some sort of slime.
"Wow," Alpha gasped, peeking out from my pocket to take a look. "I knew you girls were disgusting in terms of love, but I didn't think you guys were that disgust- hey!" I glared at the little wolf, shoving him back in my pocket with a finger.
"She isn't here." I noticed, "Didn't Ivan said she'd be in the bathroom? This is the only girl's bathroom in this half of the school, she should be here."
"I think that slime might have something to do with this."
"I can't find her on my own, I'll have to get the others to help look for her. I have a feeling crying wasn't the only thing she was doing in here."
"Wow, the best idea ever!" Alpha sarcastically praised. "Not like it was the only choice you had!" I shoved him back down my pocket as I had an eerie feeling as I ran back to the classroom.
"Guys!" I shouted, seeming to have boast through the door right before Marinette could kiss Adrian, who was trying to prolong the kiss as long as he could, relieved at my interruption as Nino shouted Cut. "Mylène isn't in the bathroom, we need to find her. I think something might be going on- wait, Where's Max and Kim?" Right as I asked, we heard two screams. "Did you all hear that?"
"Loud and clear." Adrian nodded.
"We better scope this out," Marinette said as everyone ran to the source of the scream.
"A fruity snack for the road?" Rose offered.
Nino began recording them, following me as I noticed something on the floor.
"Hey! Anybody here?" Adrian shouted. "Kim! Max! Where are you guys?!"
"Wait, I felt like I saw the same pink goo...the bathroom!" It finally clicked as Adrian came up to me, picking up the armband covered in goo.
"That's Kim's!" He exclaimed.
"They vanished!" Nathaniel began panicking.
"Or they're playing a sick joke on us." Alya scoffed.
"We should go to Principal Damocles's office and tell him what's going on!" Marinette declared, She then noticed Nino was filming everything. "Nino, come on! Stop Filming!"
"Not a chance! This is just getting good!" I took the chance to slip away from the class quietly.
{Third POV}
Adrian had tried to slip away with Y/n but soon got caught by his best friend.
"Yo, Adrian!" Nino called out.
"I left Officer Jone's jacket back there!" He quickly came with an excuse. "Should probably wear it in all the scenes." Nino nodded as the rest of the students went upstairs, Adrian already running back into the empty classroom which Y/n had already snuck into the other way.
Neither noticing the Horrificator Akuma, a slimy monster start gooing the entire school roof, doors, and windows to keep them shut-in.
"This is the first time transforming with another person in the room." Y/n admitted, feeling a bit nervous and awkward for some reason.
"Then we better get used to it." Adrian winked.
"Hey, your Chat side is already showing!" Y/n pointed out as Alpha and Plagg came out from their pockets.
"Y/n, Darling." Alpha calmly called out. "I never ask you to hurry up and transform, it isn't me. but right now, I'm begging you to just transform. I can't stand this lovey scene." Y/n scoffed.
"So um," Adrian awkwardly shifted before he took off his right shoe. "Guess we should first make them think we've vanished."
"Good idea." Y/n nodded her head, reaching to take off her hairpin, throwing it to make it seem like she was struggling as it came off, Adrian doing the same after showing Plagg his shoe, making the small black cat cringe.
"You say I stink of Camembert," Plagg said.
"I mean, you both do." Y/n pointed out as Adrian gave her a look before sighing.
"Plagg, claws out!"
"Alpha, Tails out!"
***
The rest of the students were going into the Principal's office, looking inside to see pink goo around.
"Even Mr.Damocles isn't around," Rose said, worried as Marinette stood outside the door, making sure nobody was looking back before she took out her phone, dropping it on the floor as she ran into the library.
"Time to transform." She quickly said to her little kawami, Tikki. "Tikki, Spots on!"
***
"Anyone seen Agent Smith- I mean Y/n?" Nino asked. "And Marinette too?" They ran out of the office, Alya stopped to see her phone on the floor.
"Oh no," Alya gasped. "This is Marinette's phone."
They soon walked around the entire school, checking the ceiling, windows, doors, to see a pink goo covering them shut.
"We're trapped!" Chloé exclaimed before taking out her phone. "I'm going to call Daddy!"
"Dudes, you know cellphones never work in horror movies." Nino reminded, still filming everything.
"No bars..." Ivan said, checking his phone.
"No coverage!" Nathaniel sadly said along.
"Told you so!" Nino got excited. "Boo-yah!"
"Is everything okay?" Ladybug asked, appearing at the door.
"Ladybug in my movie? This is legit!"
"And on my Ladyblog!" Alya started filming too.
"We've got to calmly evacuate the building, okay everyone?" Ladybug ordered. "
"Easier said than done, Ladybug," Chat said as he and Lady Wolf came jumping down, landing next to Ladybug.
"The place is covered in pink goo, nothing can come in or out." Lady Wolf added.
"Triple Legit!" Nino exclaimed.
"Lady Wolf in the flesh!" Maya grinned, taking her phone out. "This I can't miss, my viewers are gonna eat this up."
"We tried to cut through the goo, but it's no good." Chat Noir explained. "Totally indestructible. So looks like we're trapped inside the school for now. Just stay put and try to relax, guys."
{Y/n's POV}
"Let's talk for a bit," I suggested as Chat and I led Ladybug to the corner of the office, out of the student's sound range.
"We know that Hawkmoth's taken another innocent victim somewhere in this school." Chat said.
"And there's only one way to get rid of the goo and get everyone out of here," Ladybug added.
"And that's to capture the Akuma like always,"
"Exactly." Chat flirtatiously grinned at me. "I love it when you read my mind."
"Ugh," Ladybug playfully groaned, already used to the usual flirty banters of her partners. "But we better find this thing first, and it's prisoners." Before they could say another word, they soon had Nino right behind them, filming them.
"Don't mind me." Nino quickly said. "finding the missing peeps and solving this crazy mystery with Chat Noir, Ladybug, and Lady Wolf...This movie's gonna be so swank!"
"Stay together, right behind us." Ladybug said, walking away before grabbing Nino's arm, pulling him towards her. "Means you too, Spielberg."
***
We were following the trail of pink goo, not noticing Sabrina and Chloé leave their group, running off to hide elsewhere.
We entered the classroom Adrian and I had transformed in, Ladybug noticing Adrian's shoe and my hairpin.
"There!" She exclaimed, picking it up.
"Anyone recognize this shoe and pin?" Chat asked, playing dumb.
"That's Adrian's shoe," Nino exclaimed.
"And that's Y/n's pin, she never goes anywhere without it!" Maya pitched in.
"That's weird." Ladybug said. "There's no pink slime here."
"Yes, there is." Nathaniel pointed out the slime on the desk, kneeling before he got grabbed by a slimy tentacle.
The other students started to step in fear as Nathaniel started panicking. Juleka being the only one who was more awed by the slimy monster than scared.
"Everybody run!" Ladybug shouted as they all ran out of the room, Nino remaining by Chat's side to record and Juleka staying put near the door, admiring the monster which grew larger.
"Awesome." Juleka grinned, the monster roared at Juleka as she seemed a bit taken back before grinning. "So Awesome." I noticed the height difference, it's power. He shrunk when Jeluka wasn't scared?
It spits goo at Juleka but I quickly grabbed her arm and took her out of the classroom before it could touch her.
"Eww!" Chat exclaimed. "What's your name, Drool-lator?" The monster spits goo at him but he spins his staff to avoid any touching him before swinging his staff to remove the slime. "Cats aren't afraid of slimy toads like you."
"We better hurry and find our where that Akuma is hiding!" I exclaimed.
"I don't see anything," Chat exclaimed as they dodged a slime, jumping down the stairs as the students hid in the corner, watching them. "Just miles of slime!" The monster looked at the fear in the kids, growing in size, confirming my suspicions thoughts.
"Fear!" I suddenly shouted, catching Ladybug and Chat's attention. "It grows from fear!" Ladybug ducked tying a yoyo around its leg to a pole as Chat tried to land a hit before he got slimed into the wall, I gasped, going in from behind before getting caught to the wall as well.
The monster then grabbed the yoyo string, pulling in Ladybug before sliming her onto the basketball hoop.
The monster turned and grew as everyone screamed, it approached the class, recognizing Ivan, affectionately licking, grabbing Nathanial (who was released during the fight) and Alix, jumping away.
"Oh no! It took Nath and Alix!" Rose exclaimed. (A/n: No way! what a shock! Not like we just witnessed it happening.)
They soon managed to get out the slime, running to a door to see it was slimed shut.
"Did you see how it only left Ivan alone?" Ladybug mentioned.
"Yeah," Chat agreed. "What's that all about?" I thought about it before remembering what happened earlier, the goo in the bathroom, Mylène's long disappearance.
"The monster has to be Mylène!" I exclaimed. "She was the first to disappear...from what I heard..." I quickly covered up.
"Where are Sabrina and Chloé?" Alya asked, running up to the teen heroes with the small group of students behind her, Nino still recording.
"We'll find them, don't worry." Ladybug reassured. "If we can find a way out of here..." They soon heard Chloé's screams and ran up the stairs, pushing through the doors as something seemed to have been blocking the front of, they looked around to see nothing but a trail of slime.
"We're too late!" Chat exclaimed.
"But look!" I said, pointing to the trail. "We can still follow it!" I lead the group as we were led to a dark workshop.
"I'm so amped!" Nino exclaimed, recording as I was about to open the door before we turned to Nino with a frown.
"Turn your amp down to about 4, will ya?" Chat asked.
"My bad...." Nino sheepishly chuckled as we stood on our guard, slowly opening the door, walking into the cellar, looking at the large blobs of slime.
"Anybody in here?" Ladybug asked, her voice ringing in the room.
"Ladybug, it's me, Chloé Bourgeois!" Chloé cried out.
"Don't worry! We'll get you out!"
"Well, hurry it up!"
"Is everybody here?!" Ladybug, Chat, and I went around, trying to get a count of everyone. "Mr.Damocles."
"Present!"
"Alix?"
"Yeah!"
"Nathanial?"
"Here!"
"Adrian?!" Ladybug started to panic at the silence as Chat froze, "ADRAIN?!" Chat quickly hid behind a goo pod.
"Yeah, Yeah, I'm fine!" He exclaimed. "What about uh Y/n?" I glared at Chat for mentioning my name for everything.
"Y/n?" Ladybug repeated, I hid behind a corner.
"Oh um! I'm here too!" I quickly shouted. "How about Marinette?"
"Yeah! Yeah! We got everyone!" Ladybug exclaimed, tugging on the Goo Pods. "Ugh! they won't budge!"
"Get us out!"
"I can't stay here!"
"Help!"
"Everyone! Try to calm down!" I shouted before a giant slime went past us, covering the door we came in from, the monster jumping down in front of us.
"Okay, now this is getting scary." Ladybug admitted.
Chat distracted it throwing pieces of the goo at it as it tried to attack him, giving Ladybug time to use her powers.
"Lucky Charm!" Guitar strings dropped to her hands. "Guitar strings? Are you kidding me?"
"How would...Mylene's song...." I exclaimed. "Ever heard of Smelly wolf?" I asked Ladybug as she nodded, catching on. While Ladybug used her vision to gather the things needed to make temporary instruments, Chat used his powers to the bars rusted and trap the monster in its place.
"Okay, we're all going to sing!" Ladybug announced, strumming her fingers to the strings attached to a broom and bucket.
"Sing?" Chat asked, jumping down to us. "That's your plan?"
"The only way to get through this to get your fear under control. You all know Smelly Wolf, don't you?"
"Seriously? Smelly Wolf?"
"Care to join us?" I asked, blowing into a pipe to warm up a tune. Chat grinned, making a drum set out of pots and trashcan lids.
They began singing to the monster, their fears slowly going away as the monster shrunk shorter and shorter before it turned cute bite-size, no longer terrifying.
They all walked up to it as it looked up at the students, jumping into Ivan's arms.
"That's the same button I gave to Mylène!" Ivan gasped.
"That's where the Akuma is!" Ladybug exclaimed, taking the pin as she did her thing, breaking the pin. " No more evil-doing for you, little Akuma. Time to de-evilize!" She let it go as it turned into a pretty white butterfly. "Bye-bye, little butterfly." She threw the strings to the air. "Miraculous Ladybug!"
The energy from her power goes around, getting rid of the slime and shifting everything back to normal as the monster turned back into Mylène.
"Pound it!" the three of us exclaimed, fist-bumping before deadpanning as Nino, who surprisingly still was recording came up to us.
"Awesome." He muttered.
***
The movie playing ended with Mylène and Ivan kiss as Nino wore a confident grin, sure he had it in the bag.
"Well, Mr. Mayor. What do you think?"
*** {Third POV} ***
"We didn't make the cut!" Nino complained to the rest. "He said the monster was a horrible replica! Completely unbelievable! No joke!"
"Don't worry, Bud." Adrian placed the hand he wasn't holding Y/n's hand on his shoulder. "This is how all good movie directors start out."
"Learn from mistakes right?" I pitched in.
"Yeah, even if that final wasn't quite what we thought it would be." Alya said, giving Marinette a side glance, the girl was too distracted at looking horrifedly at the intertwined hands of the two models.
"H-hey, anything going on between you two?" Marinette nervously laughed.
"Yeah." Alya thought about the day. "You two have been awfully closer lately."
"We're uh.. Dating?" Adrian got flustered, looking away with a shy smile, neither noticing the heartbroken look on Marinette
"No. Way. Since when?!"
"Around a week ago?" Y/n thought about it.
"I have to go." Marinette ran off, Alya following after.
"I wonder where they're going in a rush?"
"Who knows." Nino shrugged. "But dude, why didn't you tell me? I thought were best buds?"
"It didn't come up."
"What got you to suddenly into each other?" the two looked at each other, chuckling.
"It's a long story,"
Leave some feedback! Have a nice night!/Day/Evening!

The Bubbler ~ Dear Miraculous Ladybug
Holy crap this took for forever! I never really realized how long an episode was until I wrote this.
WC: 4,458
Warning: Swearing, Horribly placed references, Jared Kleinman
Please give me feedback! I’d love to hear what you guys thought of this! (Also if I should continue this)
Character Basics
Masterlist
Beep-beep! Beep-beep! Beep-beep!
“Huh?” Evan reached over to his side table and shut off his alarm. He closed his eyes and relaxed back into his pillows before realizing what day it was. “Happy birthday!”
Tikki jumped in surprise when Evan hopped out of bed and practically dove into his desk chair, opening up his laptop. “Evan, what are you so energized for?”
Evan turned on his laptop and stared lovingly at his wallpaper; a recent photo of the famous model Connor Murphy. Sure, he was known as the “School Shooter” at, well, school, but Evan knew better. Connor could be nice! Evan swears he’s seen his nice side before. Just not everyone has. “It’s Connor’s birthday! I made him a present, but, I, uh, I don’t know if he would, um, he will like it,” the poor boy said, closing his computer.
The Kwami landed on Evan’s shoulder. “He’s gonna love it, Evan. I’m sure of it.”
“Happy birthday, Connor,” Plagg said, handing him a slice of the infamous camembert as he brushed his teeth.
Connor gagged and pushed the present away. “Eww, Plagg! That shit reeks!”
Plagg just shrugged. “More for me.” He tossed the cheese into his mouth and swallowed with a big smile.
The birthday boy sighed. “I can’t believe I got stuck with a fucking camembert addicted cat-bug.”
Connor put his toothbrush away, grabbed his backpack, opened his hoodie pocket for Plagg to fly into, and went downstairs for breakfast. His sister, Zoe Murphy, was already waiting at the table. “It’s about time you showed up,” she mumbled.
“Shut up,” Connor retaliated and sat in his chair.
Cynthia Murphy, Connor and Zoe’s mom, set a plate of pancakes in front of Connor. “Happy birthday, my sweet boy!”
Connor rolled his eyes. “Gee, thanks mom.” He looked over at his father’s empty seat. “Hey, did dad say anything about a party today? It’ll probably be only Zoe’s friends attending, but maybe we could st-“
“Sweetheart, you know your father’s rules about parties,” Cynthia sighed.
“Right. I should’ve known,” Connor sighed.
“Maybe if you didn’t spend all your time getting high, dad might have considered it,” Zoe shrugged.
“Fuck you.”
“Fuck you!”
“Both of you, stop!” Cynthia frowned. “I am not having you two fight today. Just go off to school, okay?”
To their dismay, the Murphy siblings grabbed their bags and made their way to the car waiting outside.
“You got this, Evan! Just hand him the gift and be on your way. You don’t even have to say a word,” Alana Beck said, trying to build the boys confidence by the school’s front doors.
“Plus, he’s gay. So you wont seem as creepy giving him a gift as you would giving a straight guy a gift,” Jared Kleinman added. He dipped his bubble wand into the container and blew out more bubbles.
“Jared, what are you doing?” Alana asked.
“What? Can’t a guy have a little fun? I found these bubbles at the park yesterday so I’m obviously not gonna let them go to waste.”
“Why were you at the park?”
“Not everything needs an answer, Alana!”
Evan took a deep breath and watched as Connor arrived to the school. He stepped out of the car after his sister and let his hair fall in front of his face. “O-okay. Yeah, I, uh, I can probably, most, most likely do this,” Evan nodded and gripped the gift in his, sweaty, hands. He began to walk towards Connor, but accidentally made eye contact with the model boy and chickened out. “I can’t! I can’t do this!”
“You’ve gotta be kiddin’ me!” Jared stomped over to Connor and stood in front of him, preventing him from continuing his walk. “Hey, Connor! Heard it’s your birthday!”
Connor scoffed. “Yeah? What of it?”
“Shouldn’t you be a little bit more happy? I mean, it’s not everyday you turn…how ever old you’re turning,” Jared laughed.
The model rolled his eyes. “Whatever. Just fuck off, Kleinman.”
“So, when’s the party?” Jared asked, continuing anyway.
Connor frowned. “My dad didn’t want me to have a fucking party so you gotta find some other way to eat shitty cake.”
“Okay, now or never,” Alana whispered and gently shoved Evan towards his crush. “Go get ‘em, Evan!”
The blue boy stumbled as he was pushed towards Connor. Thankfully, he regained his footing just as he landed next to Jared. Evan gulped as he looked at Connor. “Uh, h-hey,” he smiled.
Connor raised an eyebrow. “Hey?”
At the school doors, an angry Clara Harrise watched the scene unfold. “Samantha! Did you seriously not tell me it was Connors birthday?!”
Her “best friend”, Samantha Wilson, looked through her phones calendar and gasped at her mistake. “I’m sorry, Clara! I must’ve forgotten!”
“Yeah, you must have!” Clara stomped out the doors and towards Connor. Evan was desperately trying to form a sentence for Connor when she pushed him out of the way. Clara put on a fake smile and hugged the birthday boy. “Happy birthday, Connor-bear!”
Connor pushed her off of him and rolled his eyes. “Don’t use that stupid nickname. It fucking sucks.”
Clara ignored him. “Did you get the present I sent you?” When Connor shook his head, the girl groaned. “Those stupid delivery people! It must’ve been too big so they had to get more people to help them. But don’t worry, it’ll get there!” With a quick kiss to the cheek, Clara retreated back to Samantha.
“Oh! What’d you get him, Clara?” Samantha asked.
“I didn’t get him anything. You did. And it better be the biggest and best thing there is. Got it?” Clara said. Samantha gave a quick nod and went to typing on her phone.
Jared helped pick Evan back up. “Hey, Evan. Didn’t you have something to say to Connor?” Jared asked, trying to help him out.
Evan nodded. “Yeah, I, uh, wanted to, well, was hoping to, um give you, uh, gi—“ Poor Evan was cut off by the sound of a car honking.
Connor looked past the stuttering boy and sighed. He turned towards his sister, who was talking with Alana behind him. “Zoe! We’ve got another fucking photoshoot!” Zoe frowned, apologized to Alana for leaving, and followed her brother into the car.
“No party, huh? Guess it’s time for The Insanely Cool Jared Kleinman to do some work.” And with that, Jared began his walk to the Murphy Mansion.
“Why don’t you ring the doorbell?” Alana asked. Her and Evan were currently standing outside the Murphy household, trying to figure out how to give Connor his gift.
“What? I can’t, but, I can’t ring the doorbell! I mean what, what if he, Connor, what if Connor answers?” Evan said, nervously wiping his hands on his shirt, careful not to accidentally hit Tikki in the front pocket.
Alana smirked and pressed the doorbell button. “Guess we’ll find out, wont we?”
But, to Evan’s slight disappointment, Connor did not answer the door. His mother did. Cynthia smiled at the teens. “Hello, there. How can I help you?”
Evan fumbled around, searching for something to say. “I, uh, I have, um, gift? A-a gift for, uh, for Connor?”
Cynthia gasped. “Oh my goodness! Yes, yes thank you! I’ll be sure to give it to him!” She smiled and took the gift. She was so excited that Connor was getting a gift that she closed the door in their faces.
Evan, though, smiled brightly. “I really wish, er, uh, hope Connor likes it!”
Alana nodded. “Of course he will! You did leave a note, right?” Evan blinked once. Twice. Three times. And then shook his head sadly. “Oh, boy. Jared’s gonna get a kick out of this. Speaking of, where is he?”
“Who was that, Cynthia?”
Said woman turned and smiled at her husband. “Oh, Larry, can you believe it? Connor received a gift from a friend!”
Larry Murphy, head of the Murphy Model Industry as well as his own lines of fashion, sighed. “Did we even get him a present?”
Cynthia’s smile was replaced with a frown. “I got him a present. Did you?”
Larry’s eyes quickly flicked down towards the present in his wife's arms before he nodded. “Of course.”
A knock on the door alerted the adults attentions. Cynthia walked to the door and was happily greeted by non other than Jared Kleinman. “Hi, can I help you?”
Jared smiled and nodded. “I hope so. I’ve come to talk with Mr. Murphy.” Upon hearing his name, Larry stepped into the doorway, a scowl decorating his features. “Oh, hey, Mr. Murphy! I just wanted to stop by and say you should really let Connor have a birthday party. It’s really kinda a necessity in the teenage years.”
“No,” Larry stated. “I decided to not let my son have a party and that’s that.”
Jared’s smile lessened as Cynthia walked away. “Oh, come on! Connor may not be the best at, well, anything, but even he deserves a party. You always give Zoe one for her birthdays.”
“Kleinman?” Turning at his name, Jared was met with the Murphy siblings standing behind him, waiting to enter their house. “What the fuck are you doing here?” Connor asked.
“Just trying to get you the party you deserve, Murphy,” Jared said.
“Listen here…Kleinman. I don’t need you to tell me whats best for my children. In fact, I don’t need you to tell me anything. You’re not allowed here again. Leave. Now,” Larry snapped.
Zoe stepped forward, placing a hand on Jared’s shoulder. “Dad! Jared’s just trying to be a good friend, even if Connor doesn’t deserve it,” she said, mumbling the last bit under her breath.
“I fucking heard that!”
“Fuck off, Connor. I’m trying to help you right now!”
Larry grabbed Zoe’s arm and pulled her away. “I said leave, young man.”
Jared frowned and stomped away. He hadn’t even noticed Zoe had escaped her Father’s grasp and followed him. “Jared, wait! I’m sorry my dad was such an ass to you.”
“That man is an asshole who doesn’t care about anyone but himself! I’m sorry you’re stuck living with him,” Jared said and walked away. He walked to a nearby bench and sat down, pulling out his container of bubbles to calm him down. He took out the wand and blew some bubbles as he watched a father drag his kid away from an ice cream stand. “Adults are all assholes.”
Soon, a little black and purple butterfly landed on Jared’s bubble wand. As it entered the plastic, a menacing voice filled Jared’s head. “Hello there, Bubbler. I am Hawkmoth. I will grant you the power to be rid of all the adults. But in exchange, I’ll need you to give me Ladybug and Chat Noir’s Miraculous’s.”
Jared smirked. “Sounds like a deal,” he laughed and let a purple fog engulf him. When the Bubbler emerged, he smiled brightly. “Holy fucking shit this is awesome!” He grabbed his giant bubble wand from the sheath on his back and blew a bubble towards the dad from earlier. The dad was encased by a bubble which lifted him into the sky. “Now, where’s the rest of the adults?”
“Connor’s probably gotten his present by now,” Evan said as he ate lunch with Tikki.
The kwami nodded. “And he definitely loves it, Evan.” The boy smiled and handed Tikki another cookie. Outside, a scream filled the air. Evan ran over to the window to see all the adults floating towards the sky in bubbles. “Hawkmoth must’ve made a new villain!”
“We have to save them!” Evan lifted his hand in the air, providing easy access to his bracelet. “Tikki! Spots on!” Within a few flashes, Ladybug was suited up, ready for action. He leapt out the window and towards a giant cloud of bubbles formed above the Murphy Mansion.
Connor and Zoe were about to leave to go back to school when they heard music playing from the back of the house. “Really, Zoe? You had to bring your jazz band over for lunch?”
Zoe frowned. “Shut the fuck up, Connor. I didn’t do that,” she hissed as they walked towards the back of the house. Peering through the windows, the siblings saw a raging party with a strange colored man yelling out orders such as “don’t stop dancing” or “keep smiling before you join the adults”.
Plagg flew out of Connors hoodie pocket. “Whoa! That looks like the wildest party ever!”
Zoe squinted at the man and gasped as she came to a realization. “That’s Jared! It looks like he’s been akumatized!”
The eldest Murphy groaned. “Really? I have to save Kleinman’s ass on my birthday? Is this some kind of shitty joke?”
“Connor, relax and go party,” Plagg insisted. “No one seems like they’re hurt. There’s no need to fight the akuma yet. Just go have fun!”
“Don’t listen to him, Con,” Zoe said, placing a hand on his shoulder. “You’ve got a job to do. He said something about ‘joining the adults’ so obviously people are hurt somewhere. Don’t think of it as saving Kleinman; think of it as being able to work with Ladybug on your birthday,” she winked.
Connor blushed lightly and let his hair fall in front of his face in hopes of covering his cheeks. “Whatever. Ladybug’s not even here yet so I’m gonna listen to Plagg’s shitty advice,” he mumbled and walked outside. Connor lifted his head as people yelled out “happy birthday” when they saw him. Guess Plagg’s advice didn’t completely suck ass.
Zoe frowned as she watched Connor enter the party. “Ladybug, please hurry,” she whispered and followed her brother.
Within the big crowd of people, Clara pushed Samantha to the DJ booth where the Bubbler stood. “Um, can I, er, I request a slow dance,” she said.
The Bubbler laughed. “Isn’t it a little early for a slow dance?”
Clara groaned. “Do I have to do everything myself?” She pushed Samantha out of the way and smiled sweetly at the akumatized villain. “But it’s Connor’s first slow dance, ya know, since Zoe’s the only one who ever gets parties.”
“Oh! Gotcha!” The Bubbler put on a different record and smiled as everyone begrudgingly partnered up to dance.
Connor frowned as Clara walked up to him. “The fuck do you want?”
“A dance partner,” she giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Connor frowned and kept his hands in his pockets.
Ladybug landed on the rooftop of the Murphy Mansion, watching the scene unfold. He gasped at the sight of his crush…dancing? Maybe?…with Clara. “Not on my watch,” he said and threw his yo-yo in the air. “Lucky Charm!” A record fell into his hands before he, with a quick glance of his surroundings, threw it against the wall, letting it bounce off and land on the DJ stand.
While everyone danced to the sudden upbeat music, Connor looked around for what caused the record to appear. His eyes widened and cheeks flushed as he caught Ladybug’s eye. “Ladybug?” Connor whispered and got away from Clara, trying to get closer to his crush.
Ladybug wanted nothing more to go down and dance with Connor, but unfortunately his Miraculous started beeping. He quickly dove in front of the gates of the Murphy Mansion—where no one stood, thankfully—to whisper “spots off.” Tikki flew out of Evan’s bracelet and landed in the palm of his hand once he de-transformed. “Are you alright, Tikki?”
The Kwami nodded. “I’ll be fine when I get some food. You know you can only use your Luck Charm once per transformation, right Evan?”
Evan nodded. “I know. But it was an emergency!”
“What was an emergency?”
Tikki quickly flew into the front pocket of Evan’s shirt as Alana walked towards her friend. “Uh, I, um, not, nothing was, actually. Just, ya know, talking to, um, myself, is all,” Evan stuttered out.
Alana nodded. “Makes sense. I do that all the time. But, hey, I’ve been looking for you all over the place! I’ve got something to show you,” she smiled and grabbed Evan’s hand, leading him through the gates and into the mansion. “Oh! Also, I grabbed you a cookie before someone took them all. I know you’re constantly eating them.”
Evan smiled. “Thanks,” he said and made sure she wasn’t paying attention before handing the cookie to his Kwami. Alana took him through the different hallways until they stopped at what appeared to be Connor’s room. Evan blushed profoundly as she tried to get him through the door. “A-Alana! I, er, we can’t go in there! That’s Connor’s room!”
The girl nodded. “I’m well aware of that, Evan. But your present for him his sitting on his bed! You can sign your name so he knows who it’s from,” she explained. Evan still would not budge. Alana sighed. “Fine. I’ll grab it and come back out,” she said before entering the room.
Tikki popped up out of Evan’s shirt pocket. “Why was she in Connor’s room in the first place?”
Evan shrugged. “You know Alana. She’s always trying to know everything,” he smiled. He patted Tikki’s tiny head back into his pocket just as Alana came back out. She handed him the present and a pen. Evan thanked her and quickly wrote on the wrapping of the present.
Dear Connor Murphy,
Have a wonderful birthday!
Sincerely, Evan Hansen
“I’m gonna go look for Zoe. I’ll see you out there, Ev,” Alana said before heading out.
Tikki flew out of Evan’s pocket once his friend left. “Evan, it’s time to transform!”
The boy nodded. “Tikki, spots on!” Once Ladybug transformed, he leapt out the window and back outside. There, he saw the Bubbler putting people in bubbles if they did not follow his orders. “Hate to burst your bubble, Bubbler, but this party’s canceled,” Ladybug said, landing in front of the villain.
“Ladybug!” Alana smiled and took out her phone, starting to record another segment for her Ladyblog.
Connor looked at Zoe as Ladybug landed. His sister nodded and covered for him as he ran inside to transform. “Plagg, claws o-“
“Nah. I don’t feel like it,” the Kwami said as he floated around Connor. “I’m sure Ladybug can handle this himself. Besides, do you really want to help Kleinman of all people?”
Connor frowned and grabbed Plagg, stomping into the kitchen to grab some cheese. “You lazy ass cat,” he mumbled and gave the piece of cheese to him.
Plagg quickly devoured the cheese and smiled. “Okay, we can transform now.”
The birthday boy sighed and held out his ring. “Plagg, claws out!” In a flash of green light, Chat Noir stood proudly in the Murphy’s kitchen. He grabbed a nearby hair-tie to pull his brown, curly locks back into a messy bun. A smirk decorated his face as he snuck outside and landed beside Ladybug. “To what do I owe the pleasure, my bug?”
Ladybug rolled his eyes. “Can it, Chat Noir. We’ve got more important things to worry about than your attempts at flirting.”
“Meowch! You’ve wounded me,” Chat said and frowned as Bubbler laughed.
“You two think you can stop me? Think again!” The Bubbler pulled out his bubble wand. He blew on it and let thousands of tiny green bubbles rocket towards the hero’s.
Ladybug and Chat Noir dodged the bubbles the best they could. Chat popped them with his staff as they flew by whereas Ladybug used his yo-yo. But unfortunately, some of the bubbles stuck to their arms and legs, preventing them form being able to move. The bubbles on them flew together and merged to create one giant bubble, trapping them both.
“There! Now you can join the adults you care so deeply about,” Bubbler smirked.
Ladybug frowned and climbed over Chat to get to the edge of the bubble. “Kids need adults, Bubbler! They provide the love and support that they need!”
“At least most do,” Chat Noir whispered under his breath.
“Well now you can get that. So long, Ladybug and Chat Noir!” With a swift kick, the Bubbler launched the bubble into the air.
Ladybug frowned as they ascended. “We’ve gotta find a way out of here!”
“Why? Do you not enjoy my presence, Bugaboo?” Chat Noir teased, leaning closer to the red hero.
Ladybug rolled his eyes. “Not right now, Chat.”
“Oh, come on, my bug. Just a peck,” Chat Noir smirked and pursed his lips for a kiss.
“Chat, use your Cataclysm to pop the bubble.”
Chat Noir sighed. “Cataclysm!” His hand filled with energy before he placed his hand on the bubble, causing it to pop and send them hurtling back towards the ground.
Ladybug threw his yo-yo out towards one of the nearby buildings, grabbed Chat Noir by the waist, and swung down to safety. Ladybug retracted his yo-yo. “We’ve gotta get back to the party and destroy that bubble wand. I’m almost positive that’s where the Akuma is.”
“Where is everyone? Get out here and have fun! It’s a party!” Bubbler yelled, threatening them with his bubble wand.
“Not anymore. Party’s over, Bubbler,” Ladybug announced as he and Chat Noir landed on a nearby rooftop.
“Ladybug!” Alana smiled and led her fellow classmates in cheering her name.
The Bubbler growled. “You’re all such party poopers! Just like the adults!” He then turned to the other teens and, with a swipe of his wand, encased them all in bubbles. “Go and join them,” he said and laughed as they flew up into the air.
“No!” The hero’s watched in horror as their classmates flew towards the clouds.
Chat Noir’s ring beeped, indicating that he only had five minutes left. “We’ve gotta hurry, Ladybug, before I transform back!”
 Ladybug nodded and threw his yo-yo into the air. “Lucky Charm!” In a flurry of tiny ladybugs, a wrench dropped into his hands. “A wrench? What am I supposed to do with this?”
“Bang me.”
“No, Chat. That’s a hammer.”
“Shit! Screw me?”
“No, Chat. That’s a screwdriver.”
“Fucking damn it!”
“Chat have you ever picked up a tool in your life?”
“Can’t say I have, Bugaboo.”
Ladybug rolled his eyes and looked around for an idea of how to stop the Bubbler. He spots a vent on the nearby roof. “Chat, cover me!”
The cat-boy nodded. “Gotcha!” Chat coaxed the Bubbler over to the vent. “Bet you can’t trap me in a bubble again,” he teased.
Ladybug ran over to the vent and used the wrench to get the pipe off the vent so that the air shot upwards.
The Bubbler didn’t notice as he was shooting bubbles at Chat Noir. Said cat was running closer to the vent and quickly ducked behind the air before he got it. The air deflected any bubble that came towards it. Bubbler, in an act of frustration, lifted his wand into the air in hopes of throwing bubbles over top of the air.
Instead, Ladybug threw his yo-yo and grabbed the wand. He broke the bubble wand over his knee and smiled as the Akuma flew out. “No more evil-doing for you, little Akuma,” Ladybug said as he unlocked his yo-yo cap. “Time to de-evilize!” He quickly captured the little black and purple butterfly and locked it in his yo-yo to fix. “Gotcha!” With a quick press of the cap, a pure white butterfly flew out into the world. “Bye-bye, little butterfly.” Ladybug picked up the wrench from earlier and threw it into the air. “Miraculous Ladybug!”
With a swipe of pink light, everything turned back to normal. The adults and teens were brought safely back down to earth and everything that had been broken was fixed. Even Jared turned back to his normal, jerky self. “Wh…what happened?” Jared asked as he regained his senses.
Ladybug and Chat Noir smiled and bumped fists. “Pound it!”
Back in a secret hideout, Hawkmoth watched the scene unfold. “You may have won this time, Ladybug and Chat Noir. But I will one day reign victorious!”
“Cynthia?” Larry asked when his wife answered the phone. He had gotten called into work so unfortunately couldn’t speak with her in person.
“Yes, Larry?” Cynthia answered, cutting up some carrots for dinner.
“I, um, I…I didn’t get Connor a gift.”
His wife sighed. “I figured as much. That’s why I bought an extra gift. You can give it to him at dinner tonight.”
Larry let out a breath of relief. “Thank you, Cynthia. I’ll see you then.”
“Alright. Love you.”
“Love you, too.”
“Hey, Hansen.”
Evan jumped in surprise. He turned around a gulped at the sight of Connor. “O-oh! Uh, hi, um, hey, C-Connor. What’s, um, why, what’s up?” Evan somehow managed to stutter out.
“I just wanted to say thanks for the gift. I really like it,” Connor said and pulled the gift out of his bag. It was a new sketch book, but clipped onto every page was a different photo of things Connor liked. That way he always has inspiration for things to draw. “Did you take these photos?”
“Uh, yeah. Yeah, I, um, I did. It’s just a, some stuff that, you know, that I’ve, er, um, I know you like? I, uh, actually talked, asked Zoe for help? Cause they’re were like a few pages left and I didn’t know what photos to put on them cause you know we don’t really talk that much which sucks but it’s fine or whatever so you should thank her too but I’m rabbling I’m sorry,” Evan said and blushed towards the end.
Connor nodded. “Don’t be sorry for a stupid reason, Evan,” he said. Connor gave Evan a little wave before walking into class.
Alana and Jared smiled at Evan. “Hey! It looked like Connor really liked your present,” Alana said as they walked over.
Evan nodded. “I know, er, at least, think he like, liked it, too!”
Jared rolled his eyes and blew bubbles in Alana’s face. “Will you stop that, Jared?”
“Why? I’m just having fun,” he laughed and continued with his antics. That was, until Zoe walked over and smacked Jared’s bubbles out of his hands. “Hey!”
“I’m not floating up into the air again, Jared. So just deal with it,” Zoe smirked and walked with Alana into the class.
“Bitch,” Jared mumbled and followed them.
“I heard that, Kleinman!”
Evan laughed and walked into class, going to his seat behind Connor and next to Jared. He smiled as he watched Connor start a sketch on the page with a photo of a Weeping Willow.
