A CHEESY MESS IN THE STREETS

Adriens joy from seeing Ladybug only grew when he saw Marinette come running back saying that she had found a way out.

The two of them limped out, straight into a large crowd of their fellow students, anxiously awaiting for them to come out safe and sound.

Tearfully, Alya ran up and hugged Marinette.

"I was so worried Marinette! I thought I'd never see you again! Oh my gosh! You're hurt! Come with me!"

Flustered by all the attention she was getting, Marinette followed suit after Alya.

Adrien smiled behind her, watching in mirth as Marinette was poked and prodded, sanitized and bandaged, by nearby nurses and doctors.

"Hey dude, you look like you've seen some action as well, let's get you fixed up." Nino had snuck up beside him, tenderly patting Adrien on the back.

"Thanks Nino."

They nurse taking care of Adrien, who's name was Evelyn, had him sit next to Marinette as she cleaned out his cuts with alcohol.

Adrien winced at the stoning disinfectant, "Good golly, that hurts more than when I got injured!"

Beside him, Marintte chuckled.

"Are you laughing at my pain!" Adrien gasped as he pretended to be offended.

At this joke, Marinette's smile grew a little wider and her laugh a little fuller.

Adrien smiled softly, Marinette's laugh as warm and kind, it made him feel...happy.

As was to be expected, school was cancelled for a few weeks, the children being assigned a few pieces of homework to get done instead.

Back at the bakery, Marinette was doodling on one of the pieces of mentioned hoework, namely, her history homework.

In the bottom corner, Marinette had begun doodling a small drawing of Adrien and her holding hands. She had worked surprisingly hard on such a small sketch, shading and adding hints of color to add dimension.

It took quite a while, and by the time Marinette had deemed it perfect, she was too tired to head to her bed, and instead fell asleep at her desk, dreaming of Adrien asking her out on the perfect date, but when she showed uo, it was Chat Noir who was taking her on the date. And, for some odd reason, Marinette didn't mind.

The loud ringtone from her phone woke her up the next morning. Wipeing drool from her chin, Marinette drowswely answered her phone.

"Yeaahhees?" Marinette yawned as she spoke.

"Marinette! Thank the stars you're ok!"

Marinette frowned, her mind still clearing away the cloud of sleep.

"Umm.. yeah, I'm ok, what's up?"

"Oh gosh Marinette! Honestly, sometimes you act blonder than Chloe's hair! (Note from author: I'm blonde, so I get to make this joke, tehe!)"

"What do you mean Alya?"

A loud crash from outside caused Marinete to jump a little. "What the..."

"Now do you see what I mean Marinette?!"

Right outside Marinettes window, a large Akuma was wreaking havoc. How Marinette had not noticed was beyond her comprehension.

Not only that, but why weren't her parents rushing up here to grab Marinette or tell her to get herself somewhere safe?

A deep guttural yell from outside answered Marinettes question.

In the Akumas claws, was her mother's unconscious body, her father swing a rolling pin back and forth, trying to catch the monsters attention.

"Mom!"

"Marinette? Marinette?! What's going on?! Are you ok?!"

Marinette raised the phone shakely to her ear.

"I-I've got to go Alya, I'll tell you what happened later!"

And with that, Marinette quickly hung up and raced back to her desk, where Tikki was still sleeping soundly.

"Tikki! Tikki, wake up! I have to transform, and quick!"

Tikki slowly opened her eyes, jumping and alert the moment another loud crash shook the bakery.

"Tikki! Transform!"

Tikki was sucked into the earings as Marinette felt the familiar rush of power fill her as red and spotted spandex fit itself tightly onto her body.

Swing her yo-yo, Ladybug jumped out the window to face the Akuma.

As she did thus, she spotted Chat Noir bounding across roofs to the scene of the fight.

Ladybug swung over and landed next to him.

"Ah, My Lady, good morning to you!"

Chat grabbed her hand and attempted to kiss it, but, as usual, Ladybug just swatted it away.

"Not now Chat, the Akuma has taken someone prisoner. Now, we need to-"

Ladybug was cut off by Chats sudden bout of chuckling, which soon escalated into howling laughter.

"Chat?! What on earth is going on!"

Chat tried to calm down as he smiled smugly at her.

"Heh,y-you have a MEW-tiful drawing on your cheek!"

Ladybug groaned. Both at the terrible pun, and the fact that her drawing had somehow found itself on her cheek rather than her paper.

Chat leaned in closer to her.

"So, My Lady, just who is on your cheek? It's too smudged to tell!"

All the tension that had gathered itself in her gut released. Luckily for her, Chat didn't see who she had been drawing.

"It's none of your business Chat, and speaking of business, we have an Akuma to tend to."

Chat kept staring at her cheek.

"Chat?"

Without blinking or looking away, Chat licked his thumb, and began scrubbing furiously at her cheek, attempting to clean away the lead imprint.

"CHAT!", Ladybug screamed. She blushed furiously and began kicking and squirming, making a desperate try at escaping Chat Noir's saliva. "CHAT! STOP!"

"Just a moment, I almost got it off."

Ladybug growled and smacked his hand. Her parents where in trouble.

"Chat! The Akuma has taken a prisoner!"

Chat stopped wiping her cheek, his face dark. All signs of previous laughter gone.

"Who did he take?"

Chat sounded super concerned. More than he usually was when it came to an Akuma.

Deep down, Chat was worried about Marinette, this was her street after all.

"A Mrs. Dupain-Cheng."

Chats eyes widened, fear and worry reflected back at Ladybug, mirroring the feelings she wanted to show.

Chat growled, then said, "Is her daughter and husband ok?"

Ladybug was surprised by Chats question, he was worried about her? The Marinette side of her?

"Um, y-yeah, I uh, I got the daughter to safety, she's with a friend, her husband's the one threatening the Akuma. Why are you so worried Chat?"

"I'm friends with the girl."

"As Chat? Or..."

What was she doing?! They were supposed to keep their identitys a secret! "You know what, don't answer that, we have an Akuma to defeat."

Chat nodded, grimly, then the duo leaped off the roof into the heat of battle.

The Akuma seemed to be made of a gooey substance. It gave off a very delicious smell. One that Marinette recognized.

The Akuma was made out of her dad's cheese bread.

Crispy shell covered in garlic and other herbs, the inside filled with gooey mozzarella. A favorite amongst many costumers, this pull apart garlic bread was one of Marinettes favorites as well.

Despite the circumstances, Ladybugs mouth couldn't help but water at the suculant aroma pouring from the Akumas very being.

"Plagg, shut up, we can't transform just so you can eat the Akuma!"

Ladybug turned to see Chat's eyes shut, his fingers at his temples as he whispered to himself. Who was Plagg? And what was Chat doing?

"Uh, Chat?"

"Hm!" He looked back up at her. "Sorry, my Kwami has tge strangest obsession with cheese."

Ooh, ok, figures. Since Marinette needed a Kwami transform, Chat must need one too. His was probably named Plagg. And by the one-sided argument Ladybug was hearing between Chat and his Kwami, Plagg must be a handful. And a huge lover of cheese.

"Tell Plagg if we defeat the Akuma quickly, I'll bring him some cheese the next time we meet up."

By the way Chat became silent, Ladybug guessed that Plagg must have shut up. "Now, if we could please get back to kicking Akume behind."

Chat winked, the pushed his arms forward, interlocking his hands and cracking his fingers.

"No purr-oblems here Ladybug, ready to rumble?"

"Gosh Chat, your pins are getting more and more cheesier everytime you speak!"

Chats eyes widened.

"D-did you just, pun?"

"Hm?"

Wait a second... Ladybug facepalmed. Cheesier. Of all the stupid things to say.

Chat smiled and began bouncing on his toes.

"You did just pun my Lady! A furry good one I might add!"

Ladybug groaned.

"Back to work kitty cat."

The two swung into action. Chat hitting the Akuma with his baton, and Ladybug attempting to wrap her yo-yo around her mom so as to get her to safety.

She finally did, and swung her mom (grabbing her father along the way) and stuck them on the balcony of their home.

"Stay here."

She spoke in a deep tone, disguising her voice so her parents couldn't recognize her.

"Our daughter, is she ok?" Her father was looking at her, fear glinting in his eyes.

"Um, yeah, I, I brought her over to the school..."

"Thank heaven's!" Her mother breathed out in relief, still shaking from being held captive in a bread monsters grasp.

Ladybug nodded goodbye, and swung away before her parents could get a good look at her.

"Ladybug! Could use some help here!"

Ladybug heard Chat Noir's cries of urgency.

His stick was stuck in the cheesy insides of the Akuma.

Ladybug groaned. "Great, just great."

Tossing her yo-yo into the air, she shouted, "Lucky Charm!"

A great mass of pink ladybugs swirled around the yo-yo, and down dropped...

Oh gosh. This was going to be interesting.

In her hands, Ladybug held a large box filled with forks and knives, patterned with Ladybug spots.

"What am I supposed to do with these!"

Her voice was shrill.

Chat looked over and laughed at what had happened.

"I guess you eat it Ladybug!"

Shee looked around, everybody around the Akuma was highlighted, she looked from the silverware, then back to the Akuma. It looked like Chat Noir was right.

Ladybug began running around, handing everyone two eating utensils, and telling them to dig in.

Battle crys rang through the air, muffled as each civilian fought, er, ate, bravely.

Eventually, all that was left of the gigantic garlic bread, was a cheese glob the size of a man with a deep purple receipt stuck to it. Ladybug took that off the Akumatized being, cheese strands still sticking to it, an ripped it in half.

"Time to cleanse evil!" She cried.

"And the streets..." Chat mumbled.

She caught the butterfly and freed it. Then, cried out loudly, "Miraculous Ladybug!"

She threw her silverware into the air, around her, civilians did the same. Forks and knives exploded into an almost firework like display, as tiny ladybugs cleaned the street.

Her earings beeped.

"I've got to go Chat, see you!"

And with that, Ladybug flew off to a hiding place. She then ran back to the street, her parents smiled brightly at the sight of her. And three shared a hug. A tap on her shoulder had her turn around. Chat was still here.

"Hello there!", he grinned slyly.

Marinette's parents smiled to eachother, they had actually met both Ladybug and Chat Noir! Before they could say anything though, the man who had been Akumatized came to them and asked to say his apologies. The two parents left, leaving behind Chat and Marinette.

"You ok Princess?"

Chat looked at her, a slight hint of worry in them.

"Y-yeah, Ladybug got me out of here, but when I heard it was over I rushed back. Is everything ok?"

Chat smiled, "Everything's fine Princess, now I've got to go, but dont worry! Purr-haps I'll see you later!"

And with that, Chat Noir winked, then bounded away.

Marinette shook her head and walked away, smiling to herself.

She walked into the bakery, leaving behind a street full of people, proudly bragging about how they had helped Chat Noir and Ladybug defeat an Akuma.

Note: Tadah! Lots of puns and I managed to find time to write a good chapter, at least, I hope its good. Aanyhow, there will be more chapters on their way, but I am putting it on hold to write a Christmas fic. Yay! Christmas!
