The title is a lie...

Class resumed its session quicker than all would have desired. Everyone was on the new hype about the new school couple. Nino and Alya's relationship status update was nothing of an effect as Adrien and Marinette's. The handsome, rich, and athletic model had fallen for someone. It's not that everyone—excluding Chloe— couldn't see how they match up. They actually thought that it would happen at some point in time, with Marinette being a hardcore fashion designer and Adrien a model; possibly even her model one day. They could have also seen how Marinette and Nathaniel could have been something with their common interest of art, but that idea was immediately thrown out the window at the mention of Adrienette being sailed. Well, maybe everyone did that except for Nathaniel, who at the point still is unaware of this.

The questioning of Marinette came to a yield after awhile. Alya was silenced by the teacher so that class could begin. Marinette stood up straight once she realized that two people were missing; Adrien and Chloe. Adrien had promised to be back before class begun, so where was he? Chloe and Adrien both missing? This smells fishy… Marinette's mouth stretched into an unpleasant frown at the thought of Chloe doing one of her tricks to keep Adrien held hostage.

"Ms. Mandeleiev?" Marinette asked, with a hand raised in the air.

The woman turned around, pausing her lecture to look at her student. "Yes, Marinette?"

"May I be excused to the bathroom? I have a really bad feeling in my stomach," she said, not actually lying about her excuse.

She sighed and waved a hand of dismissal to her. "Make it quick."

Marinette nodded a thanks to her and slipped out of the room, avoiding taking up too much attention.

The girl walked quietly down the school hallway, listening out for any familiar voice. She stopped when she heard a cringing voice.

"Where are we going, Chat Noir? Am I in danger and you've come to rescue me? Is Ladybug coming too?" There was excitement growing in ditsy blonde's voice. "You look different," Chloe said, making Marinette tense up, "white is definitely not your color."

W-white?! Marinette started to panic and looked down at Tikki who was peeking it from her clutch. She already knew what she was going to say without further ado. "Spots on, Tikki."

Once she was clad in her super heroine uniform, she set off with stealth to find the location to which Char had taken Chloe. Once again, she had to get into action because of Chloe's self-centered and cruel ways. She found the open window and looked out of it, seeing a glimpse of a white belted tail before it slid out of her view and onto the roof. She grabbed her yoyo and sent herself out of the window and backwards towards the roof. She landed down on it and saw Chat with his white back turned towards her.

"Chat!" She called and watched him stop walking. He looked back at her with a smile.

"My lady~ I'm so glad that you've come! I was going to make this a surprise for you, but I guess it's okay if you see it first hand too."

Ladybug eyed Chloe in his arms for a moment before her eyes met his again. "What… What were you going to do?"

"Were?" Chat repeated with a tilt of his head. "My dear ladybug, I'm still going to! You see, the issue to all of our problems will be solved!"

"I'm not following…" Ladybug responded and took a few steps towards him. "What does she have to do with this?" She asked, gesturing to Chloe.

"I'm the life of the party! Isn't that what this is? A party?" Chloe asked hopefully to the akumatized Chat.

"Something like that…" Chat smirked and hopped towards the edge of the roof, holding Chloe above as if he were recreating The Lion King.

"C-chat! What are you doing?!" Ladybug explained as she started towards him.

"She's why so many akuma come. Without her, there'd be a lot more happiness. No one would have to feel so low because of her."

"Hey! People love me!" Chloe protested, squirming around as she did so. "Put me down! I don't think this is a party anymore!"

"You don't have to tell me twice," Chat murmured and dropped her off the side of the roof.

"CHAT NO!" Ladybug yelled and lunged after her, but was stopped by Chat's arms around her waist and was brought down to the ground with him pinning her down. Despite him constricting her she shot her yoyo down and hoped to catch Chloe somehow.

She managed to sigh in relief when she heard Chloe's whining of her wanting to be place ld on the ground. She was currently dangling by her ankle just 20 feet from the ground.

"Come on, bugaboo. The girl wanted to be let go." Chat said and reached for Ladybug's hand, trying to get the yoyo to be released.

"Stop it, Chat Noir! We're supposed to help people! Not harm them! And she'd definitely get hurt if I let her go from the height that she is."

The yoyo was starting to slip from her hand as Chat tried to pry it from her. "Stop... it…" Ladybug pleaded to him. She started to slide out from under him, pulling herself over the edge of the roof. "I'm doing this with or without you." With that she freed herself the rest of the way and jumped off of the roof.

She caught herself on a high ledge, far enough for Chloe to barely reach the ground and unwind the yoyo from her ankle before it slipped out of Ladybug's hand.

She didn't look back before running off, away from the scene.

Ladybug was happy for the fact that she saved Chloe from a painful fall– somehow. But, now she herself was in danger. She was still too high for a safe landing on anything and she had no yoyo to swing herself to safety. "C-chat…?" Her voice was shaky as she looked up at the white cat.

"Have her join you, Chat Blanche."

Chat looked down from the roof to Ladybug. "Will you join me?"

"We're partners, Chat!"

"So you'll join me?" He asked once more.

Her fingers started to go numb from the cold surface she was hanging to, making her slide down.

His inner conscious was screaming to jump down there and grab her. He wanted to cease her panic and fear and hold her. He wanted to go against the akuma control so bad but his head only hurt when he attempted to do what he felt. The akuma was in full control when Ladybug slipped off the ledge and fell until she hit the ground below.

"Ch…at…" She barely breathed out before her conscious faded.

Deep inside, Chat felt dead and cold for allowing her to hit the ground at such a height. He couldn't move until the akuma pushed him to take a step. He used his baton to lower himself down to where Ladybug laid. He gently picked her up and held her close to him. "Come on, Ladybug. It's time for us to end our fighting against akuma."

He fixed her in one arm so he could use the other to lift them away with his baton.
