Chapter 12 - Friendship Day and Secrets Told

Marinette. Alya, Alix, Juleka and Chloe were in Marinette's bedroom trying on different hats Marinette created

"Marinette these are great designs I wonder if Stardust are hiring people." Chloe said

"Well Chloe what if you are talking to the owner of Stardust and what if there are jobs available just waiting for the right people to come along." Marinette said and Juleka and Chloe looked at each other

"You own Stardust, what is your name?" Juleka asked

"Starlight is my name and Alya works for the Miraculous Blog since Lila ruined her Ladyblog from all of her lies." Marinette said

"Alya what is it like working at Stardust?" Chloe asked

"It's so much fun that we have a competition that who gets more shots of the heroes fighting then we get to win a day pass for Disneyland where in Paris and currently I'm first place since I can get the best shots of the heroes better than everyone else." Alya said

"Marinette who jobs are there for me, Alix and Chloe to do?" Juleka asked

"For you and Chloe you two can be models and for Alis she can do Miraculous Blog sports that no one can really do since they don't know anything of sports." Marinette said

"How much do we get paid?" Chloe asked

"Well, it depends on the department, Alya gets paid between $200,000 to 900,000$ for every blog post and modeling gets paid between 1 million Dollars to 90 million Dollars for every clothes sold." Marinette said

"How much do you get paid?' Juleka asked

"$900 million dollars every time one of the departments make a sale and let me tell you one of my departments are always making money all the time." Marinette said then their phones vibrated and they read out the riddles and they all left Marinette's place and headed to their location and Marinette waited at the for her friend and she looked both ways and she used her magic to create a healthy smoothie and she leaned on the barrier and waited then she heard a car pull up and saw it was Kagami so she finished her drink and she made it disappear and she walked over to Kagami.

"Kagami you my friend I though you would do this challenge with Luka?" Marinette asked

"Nope he's with his sister doing this." Kagami said

"Do you know what the prize for this competition is?" Marinette asked

"It's a selfie with Adrien Agreste." Kagami said and Marinette groaned

"What's wrong with Adrien, he's a great friend?" Kagami asked

"Kagami, do you know who Lila is?" Marinette asked and Kagami nodded

Well Adrien is letting Lila lie and his friends are fulling for it and he told me to take the high road and let her continue to lie some of my friends know she's lying so I'm telling you this so you don't get hurt." Marinette said

"Thanks Marinette." Kagami said with a smile

"No problem and how did your mom approve of you and Luka dating I heard she can be uptight or something?" Marinette asked

"She's fine with it since she knows who Luka's dad is and she approves since music helps us concentrate on our fencing and Luka's music is so smoothing." Kagami said

"After this want to get a glass of juice or a healthy smoothie?" Marinette asked

"We'll see." Kagami said then their phone's vibrated and it showed them another riddle and they both got the answer and they walked over there where they saw a fishing line and a bucket.

"What are we fishing for?" Marinette asked

"Possibly the clue so this could take all day." Kagami said and Marinette grabbed the fishing rod and she put it in the water

"Are you sure we are not just fishing for fish instead of the clue." Marinette said then she felt her rod get pulled

"Strange I thought the clue shouldn't move?" Kagami asked confused as she looked over the edge to see what is pulling on the rod and Marinette used all of her strength and pulled the rod up and live fish came up.

"Do you think it ate the clue?" Marinette asked

"Let's hope not, I don't to get these hands bloody." Kagami said

Marinette put the fish onto the ground and she went into her purse where she created a club and she brought it out

"Kagami, I suggest for you to move back so no blood lands on your clothes." Marinette said then she wacked the fish over the head and the line came out and it was just rubbish so she put it in the box and Kagami walked over

"What are we going to do with the fish?" Kagami asked

"You continue getting the clue I'll give the fish to couple of cats." Marinette said walking away and when she was out of sight of Kagami she went into an alley and she took out the Tiger Miraculous and Roaar saw a fresh fish and she licked her lips and Marinette smiled and she opened up a portal so she can take into the miracle necklace which she did and Marinette put the Tiger Miraculous away and walked back to Kagami not knowing there are certain kwamis that love to eat fish and they started to fight over it and when Marinette made it to Kwami she saw the box was almost full

"Still haven't found it yet?" Marinette asked

"No, I haven't and this is getting me really mad." Kagami said

"Please don't get mad I don't want you akumatized again Kagami." Marinette said then Kagami pulled out the clue and she was happy

"There I got the clue." Kagami said and Marinette gave out a sigh of relief

"So where does the clue tell us to go next?" Marinette asked

"The next challenge is a trust challenge where we have to exchange unlocked phones and take selfies at every monument at Jardin des Tuileries." Kagami said and Marinette unlocked her phone and gave to Kagami and Kagami did the same and they walked to the location and they started to take a selfie of the monuments well except for Kagami who was looking through Marinette's phone for secrets and she found an encrypted file but she'll come back to that later and she saw text from Luka so she opened it up and saw Marinette has been asking Luka what her favorite things are and Luka telling her why and Marinette saying she would like to know her and Kagami smiled then she went over to Marinette

"Hey Kagami how did it go?" Marinette asked

"I was about to take selfie then I saw the text message you sent to Luka that you would want to know more about me and you asked my sweet and sexy boyfriend about it." Kagami said putting her hands on her hips

"Sorry I told Luka it would be a secret so I can shout Kagami her favorite drink." Marinette said

"My favorite drink is Matcha tea that's what samurais drank before they went into battle or to relax." Kagami said

"I heard it's very healthy but I haven't tried it yet." Marinette said

"It's is I drink it before I train or before a fencing competition." Kagami said

"Then let's got to the tea shop and see if they sell it." Marinette said

"We are so close to winning this competition." Kagami said

"It's just a selfie with Adrien, we can do that on any day of the week." Marinette said and Kagami nodded and they walked to the Tea shop and they entered

"Hello what tea would you like to buy or drink?" Tea Lady asked

"Do you have any Matcha Tea for sale?" Kagami asked and the Tea Lady started to search her selves then she came back

"Sorry we ran out yesterday and there seems to be a shortage in Japan at the moment but we'll get more next week." Tea lady said

"It's alright we'll get a smoothie instead." Marinette said and they left the store and went to the smoothie shop instead and they walked inside and they ordered their smoothies and they sat outside

"Marinette why do you have an encrypted file on your phone?" Kagami asked

"My phone got stolen by Lila and her possie of friends and Alya saw them take it so she quickly rushed and grabbed it and she saw it was open to where my secrets were kept so I made a file that is encrypted and I kept my secrets in it." Marinette said

"So, when will I and Luka know your secrets?" Kagami asked

"Well, my friends will be hanging out with me tomorrow so you and Luka can come around with Juleka." Marinette said and they saw the time so they both headed home and when Marinette made it to her bedroom, she saw her friends waiting for her.

"So, who was your friend today?" Chloe asked

"It was Kagami and she and Luka wants to know about my secrets since she found a encrypt file on my phone so tomorrow you are going to bring them here Juleka and every one of you will know every one of my secrets." Marinette said and they all stood except for Marinette and they all left Marinette's bedroom and they left the house and they went to their house.

"I'm glad no akuma's ruin today's fun." Marinette said changing her clothes to her nightwear and she hopped into bed and played on her phone and she also fiddled with the necklace around her neck and she took out the mouse Miraculous by thinking what Miraculous she wants and Mullo came out

"Hello Mullo." Marinette said patting Mullo on her head and Mullo gave a squeak

"Hello Marinette, when are you going to let us out?" Mullo asked

"I don't know Mullo but I can't take all you out since I won't be able to control all of you guys." Marinette said and Mullo nodded in agreement and Marinette put the Miraculous on and she fell asleep with Mullo sleeping in her hair

The next morning Marinette woke up and she felt something on her head so she picked it up and saw it was Mullo and she carefully patted Mullo on her head and her body and Mullo spread out her body and Marinette smiled and she continued patting her and Mullo ears pointed up due to her being happy and Marinette put her in the shelve behind and in a kwami bed she made for the kwamis so she carefully placed Mullo in the bed and she took off the Miraculous and putting it back into the miracle necklace and she climb down and sat at her desk turning on her computer and she watched videos of every akuma fights.

After 2 hours of watching every akuma fight she turned it off and Mullo came over and Marinette gave her a hug and she went back into the miracle necklace and her door opened up and her friends came in.

"Marinette why are you not dressed yet, it's almost 10am?" Chloe said going over to Marinette's wardrobe and seeing what clothes to get out but Chloe got distracted by Marinette's clothes

"Marinette you got better clothes then I do." Chloe said taking clothes out and putting it against herself and seeing how they would look on her

"Chloe this just my small collection of my wardrobe and I'm going to show you the rest soon." Marinette said coming over and taking out a white t-shirt with a pink paw print on it, blue booty shorts and red slip-ons shoes.

"Alright everyone out so I can get dressed." Marinette said and everyone walked out and Marinette got dressed and she grabbed her purse and she added Cookies inside and she called for Tikki but she didn't come so she thought of the bee Miraculous and she put it on and Pollen appeared

"Pollen is Tikki in the Miracle necklace?" Marinette asked

"Yes, do you want me to get her." Pollen said and Marinette nodded and Pollen went into the Miracle necklace and couple of seconds later Tikki came out

"Marinette I was stopping a fight that broke out in the miracle necklace last night." Tikki said

"What happened?" Marinette asked

"After you gave fish to Roaar yesterday and he gone inside the miracle necklace the other kwamis who likes fish started to fight and well I had to enter and sort them out." Tikki said

"At least it's sorted now so I better put Pollen's Miraculous away and you can go into my purse where I put a lot of cookies in it." Marinette said and Tikki zoomed in to it and Marinette put the necklace under t-shirt and she walked out of bedroom and she saw her friends and they all left the apartment and walked around.

"Marinette when you said you had another wardrobe what did you mean?" Chloe asked

"You guys ready to know all of my secrets." Marinette said and Chloe, Juleka, Kagami and Luka nodded and Marinette took them to an alley-way

"You guys might feel sick after this." Marinette said and a blue light appeared around and they were teleported on to the balcony of Marinette's penthouse

"What the Fuck was that?" Chloe asked

"Come inside and I'll explain everything." Marinette said and they all walked inside and Marinette showed them the couch and they sat down

"Alright I'm going to tell you and show you guys all of my secrets." Marinette said and they nodded

"So, this company is mine where Alya and Alix works at Miraculous Blog and you guys can work here I have different departments just waiting for the right moment." Marinette said

"Does that mean we get paid?" Kagami asked

"Yes, you do get paid." Marinette said

"How much will we get paid?" Luka asked and Marinette sighed

"Alya and Alex get paid between $200,000 to $900,000 with every blog post they do, Chloe and Juleka would get paid with every model job and it would be between 1 million dollars to 90 million dollars and Kagami would get paid after every training and competition and that $500,000 to 50 million dollars and Luka would get paid after every song written, song recorded and concert and that would be 350 million dollars to 700 million dollars and Nathaniel with every drawing he draws and sells would get 56,000 dollars to 145,000 dollars." Marinette said and her friends looked at her in shock

"That's a lot of money." Alya said

"Yeah, you guys will be sorted for life while the people who believe Lila will be poor and homeless." Marinette said

"Will we get a place like this?" Chloe asked as she cuddled up with Nathaniel

"I'll have people add more rooms to my penthouse and there are still more secrets I still have to you." Marinette said

"What secrets are those?" Kagami asked

"Do you guys want to know who Ladybug is?" Marinette asked and her friends nodded except for Alya and Alix who already knows

"Yes, I want to thank her for giving me a chance for being Queen Bee." Chloe said

"Well, you guys are looking at her." Marinette said and her friends were in shock

"You can't be her because you are the class repersentive and walk at the bakery so how would you have time to be Ladybug." Juleka said

"Fine I'll show you guys." Marinette said then she transformed into Ladybug and her friends had their mouths open in shock and she de-transformed

"Well?" Marinette asked

"Marinette thank you for giving me the opportunity for making me Queen Bee." Chloe said

"Your welcome Chloe, and you won't be Queen Bee again until the heat died down but that doesn't mean you won't see Pollen again." Marinette said getting the Bee Miraculous out of her Necklace and holding it out for Chloe and when she picked it up the familiar yellow light appeared and Chloe smiled seeing her old friend again

"Hello my Queen." Pollen said bowing to Chloe and Chloe had tears in her eyes and Chloe hugged Pollen against her cheek and Pollen buzzed in happiness

"I might need her back in case I need to sting Hawk Moth or Mayura in the future but don't worry you'll get her back after." Marinette said and Chloe nodded happy she got Pollen back

"As for you guys you are also going to get a Miraculous." Marinette said getting Snake, Tiger, Dragon and Goat Miraculous and she hold them out.

"Luka you have the snake Miraculous, Juleka you have the Tiger Miraculous, Kagami you have the Dragon Miraculous and Nathaniel you have the Goat Miraculous. Marinette said and they grabbed the Miraculous and their Kwamis greeted them

"Hello again Masssster Luka." Sass said

"Hello Sass." Luka said and the others also greeted their Kwamis

"What about Alya and Alix don't they get a Miraculous as well?" Chloe asked

"Who said we don't have a Miraculous." Alix said bringing out her Miraculous and Alya also brought hers out and Trixx and Fluff came out and the others were in shock and after couple of minutes they came out of their shock

"Now that we out of our shock what other secret do you have?" Chloe asked

"This secret is a big one, you guys know about the barrier that separates us from the Vikings." Marinette said and they nodded

"I'm a Viking and my name isn't Marinette, its Astrid Hofferson." Marinette said reverting back to her normal self

"How did you get through the barrier, cause I heard people died trying to get through it and the only to go through is a merchant?" Kagami asked

"I think the only way I got through was due to my magic but I was knocked out when I went through." Marinette said then they heard evil laughter and they went to the balcony and looked down

"I am Nightmare I make nightmares come to life!" Nightmare shouted and a black cloud went all over Paris plunging it in eternal darkness and nightmares

"I think he's more powerful then sandboy." Marinette said

"Marinette if we go down there our Nightmares would come to life and we would struggle fighting Nightmare." Alya said panicking

"Don't worry guys I'll send a drone down there." Marinette said and a pink glow appeared and a drone and controller was made and Marinette flew the drone into the dark clouds

"Marinette how are we going to see down there in the dark?" Luka asked and Marinette switched on the flood lights and they could see Paris streets full of citizens running away from their nightmares

"I wonder where Chat Noir is?" Marinette asked as she scanned then Alya saw something

"Marinette go back I think I saw something." Alya said and Marinette flew the drone and saw Lila cowing away from Nightmare Marinette

"Is that me as her nightmare?" Marinette asked

"Can you turn on the sound." Alya said and Marinette turned on the built in microphone that's in the drone

"Hello Lila you have lost, everyone knows your true self a liar and manipulator and I have won and you have lost your friends how does it feel to be the one to lose." Nightmare Marinette said

"I haven't lost yet Marinette I still have a plan to get you lose your friends and make you be expelled from school." Lila said

"Doesn't she know about the fight that determines who would be Queen Bee of Francoise Dupont College?" Juleka asked

"She properly doesn't know about it." Marinette said then she flew the drone around Paris and saw people being chased by their same nightmares as Sandboy

"What's the difference between Sandboy and Nightmare since they have the same power?" Chloe asked then they a spider shoot out webs to Kim and it ate him

"Sandboy's nightmares didn't do that so Nightmare is the dangerous Akuma ever." Marinette said then she turned on the drone's auto pilot and it flew around Paris and Marinette put the video feed on to the big TV and they all went inside

"How are we going to defeat Nightmare, we can't transform and go down there or our nightmares would come to live." Kagami said

"There is one option that could work." Marinette said

"What is it Marinette?" Alix asked

"I create clones of us and I send them down and they can fight the akuma for us instead." Marinette said and her friends looked at each other and they nodded so Marinette made her hands glow gold and a bright flash appeared and 8 heroes stood in front of them

"What is our mission mistress?" Ladybug clone asked as it bowed and the other heroes bowed as well

"I want you guys to fill in for us as heroes and defeat Nightmare so we don't get affected if we did go." Marinette said

"You wish is my command." Ladybug said and they all stood up and they ran and jumped over the railing and they skydived into the cloud and Marinette and her friends ran over to the railing and saw then disappear in the cloud

"It's all up to them now to defeat the akuma." Marinette said

"So, what now?" Nathaniel asked

"We can watch it all go down on the TV as the drone flies around Paris." Marinette said they went inside and sat on the couch and watched the drone footage
