Hope you guys enjoy! I don't own any of the characters! :)
They had just defeated an Akuma. Ladybug released the butterfly from her yo-yo and it flew away. Chat jumped down from the lamp post and landed next to Ladybug.
"Well my lady. It seems we've beaten another Akuma. We make a pretty good team." As he said that he grabbed her hand.
"Yes we do but," she said as she pulled her hand away, "that doesn't mean that you can grab my hand." Chat laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head. "We'd better go. Wouldn't want your miraculous to run out now." Ladybug waved to Chat and ran off. Chat stood there and watched her go until he couldn't see her anymore.
Chat quickly ran into an alley and changed back.
"Let's hurry and go home so you can feed me cheese." Plagg flew out in front of Adrien's face. "I'm hungry."
"Alright." As they were walking home, Adrien thought about Ladybug. How strong she was, her smile, her bravery, everything. He loved her for who she was. There were times when he wished that he knew her identity. But other times he didn't want to know. He liked the mystery of not knowing who she was. It made things more fun. He softly smiled to himself.
"What's got you so happy?" Adrien looked at Plagg.
"Nothing."
"Thinking about Ladybug?" Adrien looked at Plagg. "What? You don't hide it very well." Adrien blinked. "Come on Adrien. I want my Camembert!" Adrien thought how this easy going, lazy, cheese loving kwami could tell how he felt.
When they got home Nathalie met Adrien at the door.
"Welcome home."
"Thanks. Where's my father?"
"He's busy working."
"Oh. Alright." Adrien walked up to his room and closed the door behind him. He walked over and flopped down on his bed.
"Adrien. Where's my cheese?"
"You know where it is. Go get it. Just make sure you're not seen."
"Yes! Here I come Camembert!" With that Plagg flew out of Adrien's room excitedly. Adrien laid there and thought about Ladybug. Which was something he did quite a bit. He couldn't help it, he just couldn't get her off his mind.
Plagg returned, his face stuffed with cheese. He floated over to Adrien and sat down, stuffing his face with more cheese.
"Plagg who do you think Ladybug is?"
"Don't care."
"Why not? Don't you wanna know?"
"Not really. All I need's my cheese." Adrien sighed. Of course that's all Plagg thought about. He shouldn't have even asked.
"But if you really wanna find out I can help you." Adrien thought he stopped breathing. What had Plagg just said? That he could help figure out who Ladybug is? "On one condition though. I get to eat as much cheese as I want from now on."
Adrien didn't have to think twice about his answer. "Plagg, help me find out who Ladybug is." Adrien could feel the excitement growing inside him. He would finally get to meet the girl who was Ladybug. He thought about it a lot. Who she is. What kind of person she was when she wasn't saving Paris.
Adrien waited patiently for Plagg, but he continued to eat his cheese. "Plagg I'm ready to find out who Ladybug is. Let's go."
"I didn't say I'd do it now. I'm busy. And anyway I get to eat as much cheese as I want to remember. We agreed."
"Plagg. I really want to know. Let's do this now."
"Fine." Plagg put down his cheese and flew in front of Adrien. "This might feel weird."
"Wait what?" Plagg flew towards Adrien about to touch his forehead. "Plagg what do you mean?" But before Adrien could get an answer Plagg touched his forehead. Adrien closed his eyes and felt a strange sensation. When the feeling was gone he opened his eyes.
As he looked around something felt off. His room looked a lot bigger than he remembered. He saw that Plagg returned to eating and went to walk over to him. Adrien realized that it felt funny how he was walking. When he looked down he saw that he had paws! Oh no, he thought. He looked behind him and saw he had an actual tail. What did Plagg do to me?
Adrien jumped onto his desk where he had a mirror. But when he looked at his reflection there was a black cat staring back at him. No way! I'm a cat! Adrien ran over to Plagg.
"Plagg what did you do to me?"
"I helped you like you asked. Now you can find out who Ladybug is."
"How is this helping me?"
"Well you can't figure out who she is being human. But humans let their guards down around animals. Now you can get close to her." What was Plagg thinking? How did he ever think that this was gonna work?
"Change me back. We can find her a different way."
"Sorry can't."
"Why not?"
"That's not how it works."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you'll stay a cat until you find out who Ladybug is." What? You mean I'll stay like this?
"What if I can't figure it out? Then what will happen?"
"How should I know? You wanted help. I'm gonna go get myself some more cheese." And with that Plagg left Adrien in his room.
"That little-" Adrien sighed. He realized Plagg had a point. He's never be able to figure it out being himself. Maybe this could work. Although if he didn't want to be a black cat forever he was gonna have to try.
He jumped up onto the windowsill and looked down. It looked like a lot bigger of a drop now that he was so small. He was ready to jump down but as he looked at the ground he started to think better of it. But cats always land on their feet right? But maybe this wouldn't be such a good idea. He thought better of it and headed towards the door. Since Plagg had gone to get more cheese he left the door open. Adrien slipped through the crack and began walking towards the front door.
As he walked through the hall he heard footsteps. Nathalie appeared around the corner.
"Hey Nathalie."
"A cat? What's that doing here." She walked over to Adrien and picked him up. "I better get rid of it before Mr. Agreste gets home." She walked towards the front door.
"Thanks Nathalie."
Nathalie looked down at the cat in her arms. Meow, meow, meow. "You seem like a very vocal cat. I guess little cats are just like that. I will admit the way it meows is kinda cute." Wait the way I meow? Can she not understand me? But Plagg could understand me just fine.
They reached the door and Nathalie placed him down gently on the ground. "There you go cat. Run back home." And with that she closed the door. Adrien sat and thought for a moment.
Did Plagg make it so only he could understand me? I guess that would make sense. It wouldn't be good if he started to talk like a normal person to other people. He stood and continued on.
As he was walking through the street he had to strain his head to look at everything. It was strange to see everything so much bigger than him. It was strange but some part of him enjoyed it. Being able to see the world from a different perspective... literally. It wasn't just a figure of speech to him. He was smaller than before and everything was so much bigger.
He walked by a store that had some TV's in the window. She sat down in front of the store and watched.
"Hello my name is Nadja Chamack and I'm here in front of Le Luvre where Ladybug has just saved the day."
There was an Akuma? Why didn't I hear about it? He looked down at himself. I guess I was kinda busy. Adrien looked back at the screen and saw Ladybug. There she is! He stood on his back legs and rested his front paws on the wall in front of him. He tried getting a better look at Ladybug but since he was so small it was hard.
Ladybug appeared on the screen again. Adrien felt his tail quiver and his ears prick up. This must mean that I'm happy? He looked back at the screen.
"It was nothing really. I'm glad that I could help," Ladybug said with a big smile on her face. Adrien loved that smile.
He got so excited he couldn't help it anymore. The news said they were at Le Louvre right? Then that's where I'm going. Adrien ran down the sidewalk feeling excitement bubbling inside him. This was it. He was gonna find Ladybug and finally find out who she really was. That thought made him run faster. Look out my lady. I'm coming for you.
