Author's note: I know this is a struggle time, due to the cov-19. I hope you guys are safe and are staying quarantined. I heard in my country, they're not releasing miraculous ladybug season 4 with the original due date and are extending it until further notice. So I thought while being quarantined, might as well make my own version of chat blanc, and make it my own AU. Minor spoilers with Chat Blanc and the last episode of season 3. Btw, Marinette still doesn't know Adrien is Chat noir, she just figured Adrien maybe told someone she's ladybug. I even aged up the character. Like 16 or maybe 17. Seeing how the story progresses.

Enjoy guys~

By an old Nursing Rhyme

Marinette Dupain-Cheng knew about how the hands of time worked. In fact, she had a firsthand experience when Bunnix's Burrows showed her the heartbreaking consequences of Chat Noir knowing of her identity. Her dear friend, her reliable comrade, and her dear kitty becoming akumatized in the haste of writing her stupid name to her gift for Adrien.

Several weeks have passed since that unorthodox day, but a lot of things have changed. Master Fu doesn't remember anything, which has left her as the next miraculous holder. Marinette is dearly missing Master Fu, even though she knew in her heart that the love of his life would take care of him now. However, she couldn't help missing the funny old man that guided her like the teacher he was to her. He made her not feel so alone by being Ladybug, she had someone else that she could confide in if she was in trouble. Marinette no longer has that luxury, but oh how she wished that she could know about Chat's identity. Although after seeing the alternative future with Chat knowing her identity, she resolved to keep her mouth shut.

Speaking of, she has noticed a heavy distance between her and Chat as of now. He no longer has called her his lady anymore, which she should be relieved about him finally moving on from her. Sure, his nicknames have aggravated her at times, but that's who her silly kitty was as his entire persona. Maybe from going through so many changes as Marinette, she didn't want to see the changes in her companions as Ladybug either.

Adrien is now dating Kagami, but most of her inner circle of friends has someone in their lives now. Earlier in the afternoon, she felt so out of the place with the other couples sharing an ice cream, but she was so thankful to have Luka by her side. Marinette knew she has feelings for Luka, and he has been so patient with her throughout their friendship. Alya put her to the side when everyone started to leave, letting her know about this being a good time to start something with Luka. Marinette is not sure what's really holding herself back, but she wants her heart to be true with Luka if she has agreed herself to go out with him. She has decided to let herself grieve over Adrien, then let herself process her feelings by dealing with the messes as Ladybug. It's best she doesn't start headfirst with any relationship, since she saw how big of a mess it was with Adrien and Chat Noir in an alternative future.

Marientte rolled over to the side of her bed, letting out a deeply regretful sigh. Suddenly, her phone started to beep with a text, which she immediately unlocked her phone to glance over the text. The moment Alya texted her about the Akuma sighting, Marinette bolted out of her bed clumsily with a thump.

"Tikki!" She screeched out loudly, but then face palming herself by remembering Tikki's omniscient note by going out somewhere.

Marinette has no idea when her bubbly kwamii friend would be back, so she has resolved to look for another miraculous in the box instead. A sense of nostalgia hit her all at once when she remembered Master Fu listing the Kwamii creatures. In the end, Marinette chose the white and blue pocket watch, since this akuma has the power with time it seemed like. She smiled when she saw Fluff the kwamii morphed herself in front of her, and gave her a dazed look towards the ravenette.

"What time sequence am I in?" Fluff questioned dreamily, which made Marinette giggle.

"Hello Fuff, you're with the present Marinette. I need your help please for now, since I don't know when Tikki will be back." Fluff's pretty blue eyes bulged wider at Marinette's admission, so she quickly nodded her head with consent.

Marinette didn't know how to feel about being another miraculous, except that one time by being Chat Noir's persona. However, desperate times have called for desperate measures, and Marinette really doesn't have a choice.

Marientte no longer stood in place anymore, but a new alternative version as Bunnyx. Marinette wore a baby blue and white bodysuit with pockets at her stomach, which has a black turtleneck with a white cotton ball attached. Her mask is blue at the top, and white at the bottom, and it has small sapphire–colored circles in the corners. She has white rabbit ears, which have black lining, and are baby blue on the insides. Her tool, an umbrella which is white on the outside, white and baby blue on the inside, with a white handle, is attached to her back when not in use. Marinette didn't have time to really look at her reflection before she climbed out of her window into the late night of Paris.

Marientte felt a shiver go up her spine when she walked down the eerie streets of Paris. Now more than ever, she really wanted Chat by her side. Something about the city's quietness has made her want to bury herself under the covers. They're in the middle of spring, so there should be no way that the weather should be like an oncoming winter.

"I knew you would come!" A feminine voice whispered, which made Marinette jump with how the mystifying voice reverberated like an on-coming echo.

"Who's there?" Marinette called out, gripping the umbrella like how she held Chat's baton for battle like a couple of times.

"Interesting, in this universe, my counterpart takes the form of the bunny miraculous," Marinette doubled over in shock, the mysterious voice was hers, but it was coming from an akumatized ladybug.

The glistening moonlight shone upon the akumatized Marinette, who wore a black and bold red dotted jumpsuit, complimenting it with a dark mask, and her luscious black hair tied into a high ponytail. The akumatized ladybug walked confidently towards Marinette, swinging her hips like a runway model, and smirked at her with her inky purple lips.

Marinette felt too stunned to move when the akumatized ladybug tilted her chin up to look at her through her glowing blue eyes. They both held the same eyes, yet Marinette noticed nothing but playful cruelty from her counterpart.

"You're probably wondering if I'm a mirage from dear old Hawkmoth? Well, he has nothing to do with this, he doesn't even know I stole the bunny miraculous to travel around different dimensions." The akumatized ladybug hacked like a hyena while putting out her own broken pocket watch in Marinette's vision.

"I should thank you by the way, you opened a time hole by using the burrow, so it makes me feel special to see another Marinette causing mischief." Marinette glared at the other girl, hoping that Chat or even Tikki would arrive soon. For about three or four years with her adventures by being Ladybug, she has never encountered a predicament like this one before.

"Hmm, you're glaring at me, so you must be a goody-two shoes like some of the other counterparts I met. What a bore…." The akumatized Ladybug rolled longily with the r, which made Marinette snap out of her stupor.

"All right, that's enough. You don't belong here, go back to your other dimension. There is no need to cause anymore trouble, so please go!" Marinette snapped loudly, using her umbrella within a fighting position. Marinette really had no clue how to fight with this umbrella, but she was going to give it her all.

The akumatized ladybug smiled like the Cheshire Cat, finding a deep satisfaction with making her counterpart angry.

"Aren't you the least bit curious as to why I'm akumatized? I can sense a heavy sadness coming from within you. Let me guess, you didn't get the dream boy you always wanted, even though you thought you belonged to each other," the akumatized ladybug circled around Marinette, questioning her with mocking pitiness, but Marinette could detect a hidden hint of sadness in her tone too.

"Aren't you tired with how much weight you had to hold in by being the hero, yet when I became akumatized I finally felt free like a butterfly." Finishing with her tirade, Marinette didn't notice by being consumed with darker thoughts, the akumatized ladybug used her poisonous words to get her miraculous.

"What?" Marinette asked dumbly, now noticing she's holding the broken pocket watch instead of the one that's still intact.

The costume Marinette now wore felt uncomfortable, but the umbrella was still useful to fight with. Quickly, Marinette used the umbrella to fight the bad ladybug, which surprised her enemy effecticintly. However, the other ladybug was stronger with her yo-yo, and Marinette didn't have much experience in fighting with this miraculous.

"Ladybug?" Not knowing who this new voice was addressing, both ladybugs turned to see another Bunnyx through another time hole, and Marinette recognized immediately that it was the future Alix. Before Marinette could yell out, she felt herself being pulled into a black hole, and the bad ladybug grinning evilly at her.

"Think of my time dimension as a vacation of your problems. Don't worry, I will be the best portrayal of Marinette that I can be in your world, but maybe I should say the worst." The bad ladybug waved, but then turned into her civilian self of Marinette. The bad Marinette yelled at her kwamii, but the kwamii was already being sucked into the time hole.

The bad Marinette didn't count this as her plan, but she didn't care what her Tikki did. The bad Marinette had what she came for, a better working pocket watch. However, the bad Marinette figured she should stick around awhile, since the good Marienette's Tikki has called out for her.

"I'm right over, Tikki, and I am so glad to see you!" The bad Marinette said with a sweet voice when the kwamii hugged her profusely. Apologizing over and over for going out somewhere, without telling her where she went. Suddenly, the bad Marinette noticed another presence, which Tikki noticed also and quickly transformed her into the good ladybug. The bad Marinette found herself surprised to see Chat blanc, but seeing this one not akumatized and having a carefree smile.

"Are you alright, Ladybug?" Chat Noir asked, looking around for Timetagger and figured Ladybug took care of him with a lucky charm.

"I'm fine, thanks for your concern, I really appreciate it," The bad Marinette said with a forced smile, not having a clue how to deal with this Chat Blac. The Chat Blac she has dealt with in her time, they hated each other and didn't get along one bit.

The bad Marinette knew she had a lot of acting to do, but it would be a good chance to get close to her dream guy in this time dimension… Luka.
