VIP (Guest): Of course Tikki remembers Marinette! They may be in an alternate timeline, the miraculous would still be in the ownership of Marinette, the akuma only altered the time or place where Chloe and Marinette swapped lives, not the miraculous. The miraculous sorta helps Mari remember, hence she remembered what happened, while Chloe was lost to what happened. Just wait for the akumas appearance and a flashback.

Alya glanced over to Marinette, furrowing her brows on her. There wasn't any change in her appearance, she noticed. She just felt the aura around her best friend, weird. It felt like she's next to a different person.

"Would you stop staring?" Marinette (Chloe) suddenly remarked, rolling her eyes at her.

Alya narrowed her eyes, "You're different today girl." She leaned over to her. Chloe swore, the glasses girl was suspecting something. "It's like you aren't Marinette anymore."

Marinette (Chloe) crinkled her brow releasing a small gasp, "Wh-what? Hehe, what makes you say so, A-Alya?" At least she was in character, right?

Alya furrowed her brows at her. "Something's up and I aim to find out," she stated, before turning her attention back to Ms. Bustier.

Chloe found herself a bit frightened by the blog girl.

/MLB/

"Alright, that sums up our lesson, try to finish chapter three of The Little Mermaid by Charles Perrault," Ms. Bustier announced, concluding her lesson. Students packing up before leaving the classroom chattering.

Sabrina happily turned to Chloe (Marinette), "Chloe, where do you suppose we should have lunch today?"

Marinette felt her sweat drop. She glance over to Chloe who shook her head. "I-I've decided to have lunch with Marinette and her friends, Sabrina, why don't you have the time off?" Sabrina sighed sadly which Chloe (Marinette) caught, flailing her arms. "I mean, you're so tired...from what we did last er week. I think you deserve some rest, Sab. Besides I can handle this! You need rest." Marinette internally face palmed. Rest really? She watched Sabrina's ever changing expressions.

"That's really nice of you Chloe! I really do need some rest! Just call me if you need anything," Sabrina said, before packing her things and heading off passing by Adrien and Nino.

"Did you guys fight?" Adrien asked.

Chloe (Marinette) flushed, "A-Adrien! I-I mean, no-no, we didn't. Ju-just told Sa-Sabrina to re-rest," she answered, feeling herself melt from everything.

Adrien gave her a puzzled look, before smiling. "Alright-" he paused. "You've been acting weird today Chloe," he noticed, narrowing his eyes at her.

She bit her lip, face flushed. Of course Adrien would ask her, no ask Chloe! She felt Chloe's deadly stare on her. Chloe's words echoed on her mind. Act like me.

Taking a deep breath, she rouse her head high. "J-just...tired Adri-kins! Oh how my morning was horrible! My regular hairstylist was absent today and I had to do my hair myself! I was planning to have my hair in a different style. But oh, that hairstylist had to be out for today!" Chloe (Marinette) fanned herself dramatically, Adrien smiled as if it was a regular occurrence - and it is -, and the others - Alya and Nino - rolled their eyes. Chloe (Marinette) felt like gagging.

Marinette (Chloe) furrowed her eyes at her, as if it was a warning indicating a warning. She gulped, nodding.

"Let's have lunch," Marinette (Chloe) announced. "Mari- I mean Chloe, would you care to join us?" Alya,Nino and Adrien couldn't believe their eyes. Was it nice day or something? Today Marinette and Chloe seemed to friendly to each other. Friendly with a hint of disgust.

"Sure, where shall we have our lunch?" Dammit, she spoke too formally, Marinette (Chloe) face palmed. Marinette would be the one to expose them.

/MLB/

Here they were now.

In a small cafe, the gang found themselves a booth, where it was tense silence that surrounded them. Alya glaring at Chloe (Marinette) and Marinette (Chloe) glaring at Chloe (Marinette) and the guys just sat watching the occurrence.

The atmosphere was tense, more tense than when they were headed to the cafe. It was tense laced with suspicion and awkwardness. Alya kept glaring at Chloe (Marinette)

Adrien pressed his hands together. "So, let's order. The waiter's here!"

The waitress who was around her twenties with her curly orange hair and uniform she greeted them with a warm smile. Flipping her notebook as she started scribbling.

"What can I get yah today sweeties?" She asked, her pen was ready to take down their orders.

Adrien picked up the menu, pointing at one particular dish. "I'll have salad," he ordered.

"The regular," Nino answered, back leant over the chair.

"Oh me too!" Alya added.

Chloe (Marinette) raised her hand. "I'll take the regular as-"

"No!-" Marinette (Chloe) interrupted before clearing her throat, eyes were on her. "I mean, I'll have the regular, while my friend here will have salad," she ordered, pointing at Chloe (Marinette). The waitress gave them a questioning look before nodding.

"Alright then sweeties, your orders will be here shortly."

After the waitress left, the gang gaped at Marinette (Chloe). Who was completely oblivious to the whole ordeal. She looked at them with equal confusion.

"What?"

Alya's eyes twitched. "What?" She repeated. "What? You just stopped Chloe's order!" Crap. She did! All their gaze were directed on the bluenette.

Chloe (Marinette) fidgeted uneasily on her seat, she glanced over to Marinette (Chloe) who surprisingly held a motionless face. They were going to be found out, she thought. There was no way I could hold a face like that!

"I-I-" Chloe (Marinette) stuttered a reply. Alya peered at her before going back to Marinette (Chloe) who still sat there calmly. While she was a nervous wreck.

"You guys better tell us the truth!" Alya urged, the boys somehow got rid of their shock, and just eyed at them with mirrored questioning looks.

Chloe (Marinette) gulped. "We-I mean, she, no-"

"Oh for Pete's sake, you guys really are dumb," Marinette (Chloe) spoked, surprising everyone, including Chloe (Marinette). "Can't you people see that I for one is not Mari-Trash." Marinette somehow understood. Chloe held her anger or annoyance by trying to stay calm. And now she seems to have to blow it.

"And two, this fumbling Chloe Bourgeois is actually Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" She exclaimed pointing at Chloe (Marinette). "Didn't you notice that this klutzy Chloe Bourgeois isn't the perfect Chloe today? All of you really are oblivious."

The click of a utensil falling alerted Marinette's (Chloe) gaze that the bunch were still shooked over the nonsense. She eyed Chloe's (Marinette) direction. Who was gaping.

She rose her brows. "What? You were about to eat something oily and my diet will completely be ruined because of you," she answered, crossing her arms and raising her head high.

After it seemed like an hour. Alya shivered, blinking her eyes at the two. Shock and confusion written on her face

Slapping a hand on her forehead. "What. The-" Chloe (Marinette) nervously watched her slightly freak out. The boys in front of her was still gaping. Marinette (Chloe) rolled her eyes at the three. She humphed. They were totally shooked that the amazing Chloe Bourgeois wasn't the amazing Chloe today.

Chloe (Marinette) could only narrow her eyes at Chloe. Who seemed to be lost in her thoughts and was humming to herself. She glanced outside the windows. Where clouded smoke began to form. Circling around in mid air. A few people stopped by to watch while others ran as far as she could. She narrowed her eyes on the smoke. Before a gasp erupted from her mouth. The Akuma! She glanced back to the others who were now composed from the shock.

Alya eyed them again. "Mari-, Chloe. What the he-" before she could even finish her sentence. A shrill laugh erupted outside. Civilians immediately whipped their attention to the sound.

Civilians ran and screamed as a ghostly figured stepped out of the smoke. A man in spandex appeared from the smoke. His spandex was patterned in black and white lightning bolts and a black bow tie on his collar. His hair was white and styled as a lightning bolt.

"Akuma!"

The shout made everyone come back to their senses. They all stood up. An employee lead all the customers to a back door, leading to a secluded alley. Away from the akuma. The employees made the younger patrons go out first.

Adrien took this as an opportunity to escape leaving the four.

Alya paused, finding that the blonde was not with them. "Oh no! Where's Adrien?"

Chloe (Marinette) took a step back from the moving group, hands clutching her purse tightly.

"Chloe, I mean Marinette, where are you going?" Alya asked.

"Um, I-I'll go find Adrien!" Before she could run away, Marinette (Chloe) grabbed her arm, dragging her to the group.

"Oh no you don't! You are staying with me, since you are in my precious body!" Marinette (Chloe) cringed. "Ugh, it sounds weird."

"But! I-It's Adrien! He's the one you-" gagging "-lo-love!" Chloe (Marinette) exclaimed, flinging her arms to prove her point.

"Yes and he must be taken by his chauffeur. You know his guard."

"But!"

Alya put a hand on her shoulder. "I think Chloe might be right, girl," she said and Marinette didn't miss Alya's grimace. When she added the words Chloe and right together.

Looking at a Chloe who refused to let her go anywhere and friends totally agree. There was no way she could escape now.
