Author's Notes:

-Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I hope you enjoyed this story.

"Chloe Bourgeois... You have caused a lot of trouble, even when you weren't akumatized." Ms. Mendeleiev said.

"Aside from trying to kill Marinette, what else has she done?" Nathaniel asked.

"Let's see... She stole Marinette's derby hat design to try and claim it as her own. She accused Marinette of trying to steal her bracelet. She sent a humiliating picture of Kim to every student in this school and posted it on Instagram. She stole Marinette's charm bracelet." Alya answered, while counting on her fingers. "Do I need to continue?"

"I never stole her bracelet!" Chloe exclaimed.

"Then how did you get it?" Max asked.

"I found it." Chloe answered. "Sabrina, you were with me at that time. Did I or did I not just find the lucky charm?"

"You... you did steal it." Sabrina lied. She glared at Chloe. "You've been very bad Chloe. I won't assist you in your nefarious deeds anymore! I should have reported you a long time ago!"

"What?! But I didn't steal it!" Chloe claimed.

"Enough!" Ms. Mendeleiev said. "I have no choice but to call the authorities. Even if you didn't steal the bracelet, you're still in trouble."

Chloe was backed into a corner. Sabrina, Alya and Ivan stared at Chloe to make sure she wouldn't run away.

"Another reason to hate Chloe..." Nathaniel muttered.

He wrote down something on a sheet of paper and resumed sketching out a fight of Cleopatra vs Cat Noir.

"What is that?" Ms. Mendeleiev asked after hanging up. She looked at the mess of papers on his lab table.

"It's a sketch of what I think the battle between Cat Noir and Cleopatra looked like." he answered. "And this is a list of reasons Chloe is so despicable."

"I thought you weren't much of a writer." Juleka said.

"I'm not. There are a few reasons why I have this list." he said, unrolling the list. The scroll tumbled onto the floor.

"That's a long list." Alix commented.

"Look at 75." Nathaniel said.

"Number 75. For trying to kill Marinette in her akumatized state of mind." she read.

"So why do you have that list?" Adrien asked.

"A few reasons. One, Kim dared me to do this before Alix beat him in the race at the Trocadero." he answered. "Two, it serves as a form of anger management. Three, it gives me ideas for my drawings."

"Anger management?" Rose asked.

"I'm worried about being akumatized again." he confessed.

"But if an akuma is captured, a person wouldn't be able to be akumatized again. Would they?" Mylene asked.

"I don't know, but I'd rather not find out." Marinette answered.

"I thought akumatized victims didn't remember anything." Adrien said.

"I've noticed that it varies from one victim to another." Nathaniel answered. "For instance, I remembered everything shortly after Ladybug defeated Evillustrator. Alya didn't remember anything. Heck, she didn't even know that she had been akumatized until she saw the news a few hours after Cat Noir and Ladybug stopped Lady Wifi. Whereas Nino doesn't remember the slow dance at Adrien's birthday party when he was the Bubbler, yet he does remember capturing the superhero duo."

Adrien looked sadly at Chloe. "Chloe, what do you remember?" he asked.

"I...I remember trying to kill Marinette. I didn't think that Adrien was the one to save her from death, but, maybe my memory is failing me. During the final battle, I saw a flash of light. Cat Noir had disappeared and Adrien was there. I don't remember why, but all of my rage... vanished. Gone. I was emotionally stunned. The next thing I know, I'm back to my normal self and I'm all alone at Parc des Princes." she answered. "I may not recall all of my actions, but I remember how I felt."

"Well how do you feel about prison?" Roger asked, handcuffing her.

"I..I don't believe this is happening! This is the worst day ever! Curse you, Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" Chloe exclaimed.

She was dragged out by Lieutenant Roger. Many of the students cheered, but Adrien looked down.

"Are you okay?" Nino asked.

"I never knew that Chloe's true self was that evil..." he muttered.

"It'll be ok, Adrien. She may have been your best friend, but you have others here who are right by your side." Marinette said, holding his hand. "Including me."

The bell rang seconds after she said that.

"Don't forget your test is on Friday!" Ms. Mendeleiev exclaimed.

Several weeks and then months had passed since the day Adrien and Marinette started their romantic relationship. No matter what challenge came towards them, Ladybug and Cat Noir could handle anything. Adrien and Ladybug were in the park.

"What is this?" Adrien asked Ladybug.

"I'm not sure. Tikki said it was important."

After defeating Volpina, they went down to Master Fu's place.

"Ladybug. Cat Noir. It is so nice to see you." Master Fu greeted them.

"I believe this belongs you." Ladybug said, handing the Miraculous book to him.

"Thank you. I have been searching for this for decades." he said. "Cat Noir, you're about to detransform."

"It's alright. According to Plagg, you're the one who gave me and Ladybug our Miraculouses. She knows who I am and I know who she is." Cat Noir said.

"Adrien." Ladybug answered.

"Marinette." Cat Noir answered.

They detransformed. Master Fu widened his eyes in shock, then smiled.

"I did not expect you two to discover each others identities this quickly." he said. "How did you know?"

"It's a long story, Great Guardian." Tikki answered.

"Well why don't we sit down and dicuss it over tea?" he asked.

The two heroes smiled and followed Master Fu.

Epilogue

Meanwhile, Chloe, who was still behind bars, had lost herself. Her cell had a tainted window and she hadn't seen the sun since she was imprisoned. Instead of wearing the traditional orange jumpsuit, she was given a black and white striped dress that reached to her ankles, but it was torn, exposing her right leg. Her hair was loose and incredibly messy but she didn't even care. Her vanity was gone.

"Chloe?" she heard someone ask.

"Huh?" she asked aloud.

No one had said anything. She not only lost her freedom, she had lost her sanity as well.

I nearly had everything. Adrien was nearly mine... But my chances with him are crushed. I thought Marinette and Adrien were always sneaking away to cuddle together, but... I was wrong.

She still remembered feeling guilty while fighting Cat Noir. For some reason, she felt like... she admired him. But she didn't know why. Before ending up in jail, she heard rumors about Cat Noir and Ladybug being in a romantic relationship, but no one, not even Alya, could confirm that they were a couple. Even if it wasn't true, she knew she had no chance with him. She looked at the photo of Cat Noir she had, which was the only thing she was allowed to keep.

Who are you?
