Enchantment: Princess Fragrance

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.


I rush away from the reporters as Primvère Rosé. Ladybug, Cat Noir and I just cleansed a new Akuma on the loose and that too it started raining.


I try my best to get out of the rain because rain and I don't come together well. Ever since I was a child, I never liked the rain. Firstly, because I would usually tend to fall sick if I stayed too long in the rain and secondly, I'm not a huge fan of thunder or lightning with it.


I enter a subway and transform back into myself. Seven pops out of my choker and I smile at her, "Well, that was a rough shade..." I say before rushing up. The sun shines as soon as the rain clears and I walk out of the subway.


"Seriously, today feels so boring!" I whine as I walk towards the school. "Well, that would be if it were coming from you..." Seven says. We both chat softly and joke before my phone starts ringing. It's a call from Marinette. "What's up?" I say as I pick up.


"Oh, (Y/N)! This is bad!" She says through the phone. I raise an eyebrow, "What happened?" I ask with concern.


"I just transformed back and now Tikki became sick because of the rain!" She panics which makes my eyes widen, "Really?" I ask, bewildered. "What should I do?! She says she knows a healer b-but I don't know...It's just too risky!" She says which makes me inhale deeply.


"Calm down, Marinette. I'm here. We'll deal with this together...You're heading for school, right?" I ask. "Yeah." She says. "Meet you there!" I say before hanging up and rushing towards the school.


As soon as I reach the entrance, I see her waving at me.


"Look!" She says and shows me a tired and shivering Tikki. "Oh no..." I mutter. Seven pops out of my pocket and rushes towards the sick Kwami. "Tikki!" She calls out and holds her. "She said something about a healer...but Kwamis are supposed to be a secret! What if the doctor starts asking questions and stuff?!" She panics which makes me shake my head. "Don't worry, Marinette! We'll just..." Before I can say anything, I start looking around. I notice that no one's around.


"We're late for class!" I realise which makes her too gasp.


"I-I'm sorry, Tikki! We'll go to your healer after class!" She says to her Kwami who just nods and covers herself up in her pouch.


Seven gets back to hiding in my pocket before Marinette and I both rush to our Science class.


We pull in the class before Marinette trips and falls. "What is your excuses now?" Ms Mendeleiev asks which makes me sheepishly pick her up. "U-Um, we got caught up and lost track of time because of the Akumatized villain this morning!" I let out an excuse which makes Marinette nod nervously.


"Very well, girls. You can go to your seats." The professor says which makes us smile and, as instructed, we go back to our seats.


That is before we hear the sudden spraying of perfume. We all turn our heads to Rose, including Ms Mendeleiev who is clearly annoyed by the action. She walks over to Rose and says, "Thank you, Rose, but our class doesn't need extra refreshing." She confiscates her perfume bottle. "Furthermore, using your cell phone during class is strictly forbidden." She says which makes Rose sadly hand over her phone.


"Now, take all your things and go to the principal's office," She says nonchalantly which lets the sad girl rush over to Mr Damocles' office.


Once Rose is gone, Ms Mendeleiev demonstrates to the class how Rose's perfume is flammable. She proceeds to show us an experiment where the perfume combusts leading all of us to gasp in surprise. "And that, students, is why we do not bring flammable substances to the Science lab." She quotes.


When class is over, Marinette, Alya and I walk out of the class. Adrien finally shows up outside of school.


"You two are definitely made for each other! You both can't even make it to school!" Alya comments which makes me roll my eyes. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Well! See you later, Alya. Marinette and I have some business to attend to!" I say to her before waving and walking to the streets.


Seven shows us the way yet as we are too focused on getting to our destination, Marinette trips on a backpack, causing her to launch Tikki into the air. She pushes me in the process but before I can fall, I feel someone hold me from doing so. I look up to see Adrien and blush at our close proximity. "You okay? Nothing broken?" He asks with a smile. I look at him for a while before our moment is interrupted with me sneezing softly.


I stand up quickly and nod, "Y-Yeah! Thanks!" I say before smiling back and looking at Marinette. She panics when she realises Tikki is not with her.


Both she and I scan the area before I notice Chloe holding Tikki in her hands as a still figure.


"H-Hey! Chloe! T-That's mine!" Marinette says to which the said-person laughs, "Give it back!" I say and rush towards her but she sticks out her tongue at me. "Finders keepers, losers weepers!" She says as she drives away in her limousine.


"Tikki..." Marinette says sadly which makes me look at her. "H-Hey...we'll get her back. I promise..." I say which makes her nod.


"Thank you, (Y/N)..." She says which makes me smile, "What are best friends for?" I say cheekily.


"At least we know where that brat lives..." I say before we rush towards Le Grand Paris, where Chloe lives.


But before we can get there, I feel a familiar pain strike through my chest. I fall back and wince in pain. "(Y-Y/N)..." Marinette calls out. I look up to her. "N-No worries. You go ahead, Marinette. There's a villain on the loose and without your Kwami, you won't be able to transform. I'll check into it while you get Tikki, okay?" I say which makes her nod.


"Make sure she's okay!" Seven says which makes her nod before she rushes off.


I rush towards an isolated valley. "Are you sure?" I hear Seven say to me which causes me to look at her in confusion. "Yes, I'm sure. What do you mean?" I ask which leads her to put her hands on my forehead and say, "You're burning up, (Y/N)...I feel that you won't be able to do this." She says which makes me shake my head. "Seven, we don't have time for this..." I say.


"(Y/N)! It's one thing if a Kwami is sick but if it's holder is, it's much riskier! Consider the fact that you won't be able to perform smoothly now that you're going sick!" She says which makes me look down.


"T-That's right..." I retort and touch the miraculous with sadness, "But...we have no choice. Marinette doesn't have Tikki with her and..." I pause for a moment, "I'd rather risk it than not do anything at all..." I say which makes her sigh. "If you say so..." She mumbles in hesitation.


"Seven, it's springtime to bloom!" I chant and she is sucked into my choker.


I transform into Primvère Rosé and jump into the roof of a building before scanning the area. I notice the villain jumping from building to building. I use my whip to boost myself towards the villain, "Where do you think you're going?!" I say and snatch her ankle with my whip.


The villain falls to the ground and looks at me viciously. It takes me a moment to realise who she is.


"Rose?!" I blurt out which makes the villain chuckle. "The name's Princess Fragrance and that is not a way to treat a princess!" She says maniacally before trying to spray me with her perfume gun. I quickly manage to dodge the gas.


"Stay still!" Fragrance says as I attack her. But soon enough my powers fluctuate as soon as I let out a cough and whimper. I crash into the ground which makes the villain chortle. As soon as she does, a highlighted moth-like mask appears inches away from her face. She smirks at me and approaches me as I pull myself up.


"Seems like the primrose lost her colour~" She teases as she attacks me. I have enough strength to block her.


I shoot an arrow at her to which she blocks with her perfume, giving me sufficient time to hide from her. She growls when she realises I'm gone but she just leaves and heads to where seems like the Le Grand Paris.


I sigh deeply and regain my strength, "So this is why Seven was worried..." I mutter unconsciously.


I knew exactly what she meant. Being a superhero really takes a huge toll on the holder. 'Toll' as in we need the energy to perform our duties and that's what I'm lacking right now...Energy.


As I'm retrieving my strength, I begin to think. "Hmm...what would have caused a sweet girl like Rose to get Akumatized?" I wonder. Then suddenly everything clicks to me. From what I remember, Rose is a huge fan of Prince Ali, crowned prince of the Achu Kingdom, who is having an official visit to Paris to organize a toy drive for the kids in the city's hospital, and he is staying in the Le Grand Paris.


As soon as I recover, I head for the hotel where I can sense the commotion.


I enter the top floor where it would have seemed that Princess Fragrance has already arrived. she quickly senses me, "You again!" She says and orders her 'henchmen' to charge at me. "No one will stand against me and my prince!" She says as I scan the room to see the prince, his chaperone, Chloe and the mayor standing and looking at me. Then I spot Marinette.


I quickly realise that Chloe still has Tikki.


I fight against the guards and lock them in the room adjacent to us. I watch as Chloe and the others escape into the stairwell to run from Princess Fragrance. I block her from getting to them.


A sudden pain hits my body as I hold my grounds. "Aw~ It's interesting to see a superhero fall on her own wit~!" Fragrance laughs evilly which makes me growl at her. "Primvère Rosé never falls, Fragrance! Not until you're down!" I state as I begin to fight her.


She seems to take it easy on me as I give my best to knock her down. But my efforts fall in vain each time.


"Can't catch me~" She teases as I gradually begin to feel dizzy.


"Decoy!" I chant which makes several figures of me appear and charge at her. She smirks at my attempt and uses her gun to destroy my copies before landing towards me.


I try to hit her but she holds my arm.


"No, no, no, no..." I whine at my dire state. She clicks her tongue in a taunting way before grabbing me by the chin. "You have deemed yourself useless to me, Rosé~ I never thought it would be this easy to defeat you like this~" She chuckles before heading to pull out my miraculous.


Before she can do anything, Cat Noir barges in just in time and kicks her away. He blocks her away from me as I woozily look up at him. "Cat Noir..." I mutter tiredly. They share a battle with each other but in the end, Fragrance escapes and heads for the Prince.


"M'lady..." Cat Noir rushes towards me. "Are you okay...?" He asks in concern. I let out a distasteful chuckle.


"Prim..." He mutters. I see his eyes gleam a sad shade which makes smile at his care. "I'm fine...it's nothing I can't handle..." I sit up, slowly feeling better. I then notice our close proximity, leading me to squirm a little.


"Go and look for the Prince. It's he who he's after...." I mutter as I slowly push him to go. He shakes his head. "What about you?" He asks which makes me scoff. "I said I'll be fine. Just go and-"


"Would you stop thinking about others for a second and look at yourself?!" He yells at me and forces me to sit by the shoulders. I groan as my back hits the wall. Everything starts feeling dizzy as I let out incoherent words. I groan in pain. He realises what he just did and apologizes repeatedly. My miraculous starts beeping.


"Where's Ladybug when you need her?" He whines which makes my eyes widen as I remember Tikki.


"Go. I'll be fine, I promise! Just make sure they're safe and then worry about me!" I say with distress in my voice, he stammers. But then he chuckles, "You don't know how hard that would be for me to do because I worry about you all the time, m'lady..." He admits which takes me by surprise. I stare at his eyes clouded by his words and we stay like that for a while.


I then notice something I should've for a long time...He has the most enchanting eyes I have ever seen.


He finally stands up as I'm still flustered. "Just promise me you'll not hurt yourself..." He says which makes me gulp. All the ache fades away when he says those words. I nod, unable to say anything. He smiles and uses his baton to swing to the top to save the others.


I feel my cheeks burn up as soon as he goes away. An overwhelming feeling takes over my ailing feeling and I can't help but feel charmed at the moment. Soon, I snap out of it.


"Get your head out of the clouds, (Y/N)! Stop your imagination!" I say before shaking myself.


"Seven, it's summertime to fall..." I chant which leads said-person to pop out of the choker. "(Y/N)..." She looks at me with tired eyes. "Here..." I say as I pick up a fallen branch of grapes from the banquet table. She munches at them which makes me smile at her. I try to get up before falling back and groaning from the pain.


"No...(Y/N), you're weaker than before. You shouldn't..." She complains which makes me smile at her. "Seven..." I mutter as I realise I'm burning with the fever. "I...I'm going to be fine..." I speak.


"No, you're not! Stop saying that!" She looks at me in concern. I stay silent at her words.


"(Y/N)...come on, let's get you home..." She says which makes my eyebrows furrow, "What?! Leave? And let Cat Noir take care of this by himself?! No...I'm sorry, Seven, but my mother taught me otherwise..." I say which makes her shake her head. "(Y/N), you-"


"Please, Seven...those are my friends. I can't leave...I don't think I'll be able to live with leaving this off..." I say in look down with a sad expression.


Seven looks at me with uncertain eyes. "(Y/N)..." She says before putting her tiny head over mine.


"Then, I'll have to do this..." She says which makes me look at her in confusion. She chants some incoherent words before touching my choker. It shines a bright light before it completely disappears from the spot.


"I've put my energy into the miraculous, (Y/N)...Once you transform into Primvère Rosé, you'll be able to regain your energy. It'll be enough for you to fight the villain off..." She says which makes me nod happily.


It takes me a while to get to my feet.


I transform into Primvère Rosé. I feel a rush of energy all over my body before letting out a sigh, "Thank you, Seven..." I mutter before jumping out of the window.


I then hear a scream from below. Precisely Chloe's. I look down to see them, including Cat Noir, the Prince and his chaperone, all hopping onto a car and escaping away. Princess Fragrance already at their tail, I manage to extend my whip to pull me from building to building.


Princess Fragrance arrives on top of the car roof. But before the chaperone can close all the windows, she sprays everyone in the car. "No!" I yell as I realise Cat is also inside there. I hold my grounds.


I follow them as the car rides towards the Pont des Arts(the bridge, to be exact...). Once they evacuate from the car, I notice how brainwashed they look. I feel more annoyed when I see them arrange for a marriage.


I look at Princess Fragrance and she is thrilled to wed the now brainwashed Prince Ali. I grumble. Once I see my chance to attack, I use my whip to land on one end of the bridge. "Not so fast, Fragrance!" I say as I walk slowly towards them.


"You're too late, Primvère Rosé~," She says as she holds up a love lock. "We've already declared our love to each other!" She says which makes me chuckle as her brainwashed servants, including Cat Noir, block her from me. I let out an amused scoff, "Yeah, and I'm the President of America." I say in a jokily sarcastic way which makes her growl at me.


"Get her miraculous!" She orders them to charge. I dodge the rest of them until I come across Cat. "You don't want to do this, Cat..." I say but as brainwashed as he is, he holds his stance and orders, "Give me you miraculous!" He says in a medieval-like accent. I smirk before beginning to battle him.


I glance towards Fragrance and see that she's about to place the lock on the bridge. But before she can place it on the bridge, I see Ladybug as she uses her yo-yo to knock it into the river. Princess Fragrance lets out a growl but also takes Prince Ali away from the fight.


"Did anything interesting happen while I was gone~?" She asks teasingly which makes me blush as I realise she witnessed the whole interaction between me and Cat Noir with the smirk she was giving me.


"None that you should know of!" I say embarrassed to which she chuckles deviously. We fight the servants.


On the Le Grand Paris roof, Princess Fragrance starts spraying the sky. Ladybug and I look at each other, confused at what she's doing. It takes us a moment to realise that everyone in Paris is going to become Princess Fragrance's slaves.


"How are we going to deal with this?!" I panic as I battle with Cat Noir back and forth with Ladybug.


Ladybug then looks like she's got an idea and look towards me. "Remember what we learned today at chemistry class about Rose's perfume?!" She asks me which makes me confused, "Um, yeah...you mean, Ms Mendeleiev's warning about the flammability of Rose's perfume...or something like that...?" I say which makes her smirk, "Exactly." She says and then points to a boat floating in the river.


"I overheard a conversation about the Mayor telling the prince that he has organized some fireworks on the Seine in front of the hotel. We might just have our explosive!" She says and then points towards the perfume fogging the skies of Paris as she blocks Cat from hitting her with his baton. I get the idea and nod.


"Can't catch me, kitty~" I taunt Cat Noir which makes him pull out his staff at me. I jump onto a lamp post, tricking Cat Noir into using his staff to push myself into the river. He lands with me and groans at the impact. I give a signal to Ladybug to head for Princess Fragrance.


"Come on..." I mutter as I look at Cat's angry expression. Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm to stop me from escaping. I smirk as everything is going according to plan. He's about to strike me, but I use my whip to trip him, and he ends up using his Cataclysm on the fireworks' control panel, releasing the fireworks into the sky.


The fireworks explode into Princess Fragrance's fog of perfume, causing it to vanish into thin air. I beam in amusement as he looks at me and charges at me. I pull his tail and drop him off into the river before heading for Le Grand Paris.


I see Ladybug fighting Princess Fragrance.


Ladybug uses Lucky Charm, and a balloon appears.


"A balloon? So we're going to blow her away or something?" I ask in a confused tone which leads her to frown at me.


"Just distract her while I come up with it!" She says making me laugh before doing so.


"You'll never take me away from my Prince!" Fragrance says before we battle with each other.


Using her lucky vision, Ladybug grabs a straw and puts the balloon through it. Before Princess Fragrance can spray me, Ladybug tosses the straw with the balloon in the mouth of the perfume gun; causing the balloon to inflate. I then use my whip to grab the perfume gun and break it, revealing the Akuma.


"No more evil-doing for you, little Akuma~," She says and catches the Akuma and purifies it.


"Miraculous Ladybug/Primrose!" Ladybug then tosses the balloon into the sky and I release an arrow which cleanses the city, returning everything, including Rose, back to normal.


"What am I doing here...?" She asks before looking up to see me, "Primvère...?" She looks confused.


"No more injustice in the world and here's a token from a rose~," I chant which leads the rose petals to form around me and then towards the perfume bottle next to her.


It transforms the perfume into a purple rose-scented perfume bottle which makes me chuckle.


"The finest scent you can find in Paris~," Ladybug says as she stands beside me. I let out a sheepish smile.


Rose picks up the bottle and squeals at it before thanking me happily.


"May I ask who you are?" I hear the Prince, who has been there all along, asks Ladybug and I.


"Just your friendly neighbourhood superheroes, Ladybug and Primvère Rosé. Your Majesty." We both bow down at him. I notice Rose looking at Prince Ali holding in a squeal. She is delighted to see Prince Ali in front of her.


"I'm guessing we'll have to leave you with your biggest fan~," Ladybug says before we scurry off in our way home.
