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

"What?" I ask as I place my mug on the table.

"I said, I'm going to be late today so you can have dinner without me..." She says and this annoys me a little.

"But you're always late!" I whine as I sit down and turn on the TV.

My mother sighs, "We're not having this conversation again, (Y/N)..." She says and picks up her bag.

"I'm doing my best to earn for the family!" She says and approaches me before placing a kiss on my forehead, "I know..." I pout and look up at her.

"I'll be back before you know it!" She says and rushes out of the kitchen.

"Have fun with your friends!" She says to which I nod, "You have a great day too, MOM!" I reply before hearing the door slam shut.

I sigh deeply.

"You should be happy that you have a mom like that..." Seven hovers in front of my breakfast which makes me look at her with a smile.

"Yeah, I am..." I mutter, "It's just that I know she's still not over whatever happened with my dad and she thinks it's her fault even though it's not..." I pause.

"You take from your mother then..." Seven says which makes my glare at her though it's true.

"Not only that! She tries her best to suit my needs by doing everything but I don't want her to overwork herself because of me..." I say with a long sigh.

"Isn't that what all mothers do?" She asks me jokingly which makes me sulk.

"So it seems..." I mutter before standing up.

"Come on, Seven! We've got a long day to get through!" I say with a flattened smile.

"You mean, at the movies?" She looks confused to which I chuckle.

"Where else?" I say and rush up to my room.

---

"(Y/N)!" I hear familiar voices which makes me turn to see Marinette and Alya approaching me.

"You're late!" I say to which they look at me with a sheepish chuckle. We were supposed to meet here at the train station fifteen minutes ago.

"Sorry! If it wasn't here for Miss Marinette who forgot where she kept her phone!" Alya complains and the said-person gasps dramatically, "I'm sorry but one cannot simply find her phone beside her trash bin!" She says to which I laugh.

"What was it doing there anyway?" I ask and shrugs, "I don't even know how it got there!" She says which cracks me up even more.

We wait for the train.

"The movie starts in thirty minutes. We could get your book first before it starts..." Marinette states to Alya as she goes over the movies on her phone. I watch the screen as she does.

"Either way, girl." She says. I hear then hear her gasp.

"(Y/N)! Nine o' clock!" She says excitedly to which I shake my head.

"No...there's no nine o' clock shows..." I mutter, watching as Marinette scrolls through various movies.

"Not that! Over there!" She says as she turns my head towards the left.

"What-" My eyes widen as I see Adrien getting on the compartment next to us as the train arrives.

"Come on!" She says and pulls me into the train. "Wait for me!!!" Marinette pulls my shirt from behind and enters the train.

I watch from the train window between us as he calls someone.

"Isn't he just dreamy?" I swoon and look at Marinette who chuckles.

"What if he's getting off the same stop as us? Or maybe seeing the same movie?!" She says to me which makes me blush.

"But wouldn't that seem like we're stalking him?" I ask to which Alya snickers, "Chill, girl, it's not like you don't stalk him every day in school!" She says to which I raise an eyebrow.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!" I pout and they laugh.

"He's waving!" Marinette squeals.

I look. He smiles charmingly to which I smile and wave back, feeling a slight blush forming on my cheeks.

It's just then that I feel strong familiar pain in my chest. My eyes widen.

"Marinette, code red! I repeat CODE RED!" I whisper-yell to Marinette who looks at me confused. "Now?" She asks and I nod.

Just then, Alya panics making us look at her. We all watch in horror as she re-akumatizes into Lady Wifi.

"A-Alya!" I call out by when she transforms fully, she looks at Marinette sinisterly.

"Marinette! Give me those superhero dolls!" She says in a childish-whiny tone which makes me confused.

"Lady Wifi?" Marinette asks to which she pouts, "No! I'm Puppeteer! AND. I. WANT. THOSE. DOLLS. NOW!!!" She throws a fit. I just watch the scene unfold.

"Puppeteer? The dolls? I don't...I don't have them! They're back at home! But why would you want them?!" Marinette asks to which Lady Wifi, who is so-called-Puppeteer, smirks.

"Because you said I could have them! And then Mommy said no! So, give them to me now! Or you'll be super-duper sorry!" She says to which I get more confused.

Marinette gasps in realization, "Manon...?" She says which surprises me.

"Wait..." I look at Lady Wifi.

The train comes to its stop. "I want Primvère Rosé's miraculous so that I can win! FOREVER!" She says and summons a fast-forward icon and rides it out of the subway station.

Marinette runs out, following her. "Manon! This isn't a game!" She yells but Puppeteer already escapes.

"What the heck just happened? Why is Manon Akumatized now?!" I ask her to which she sighs. "I'll explain it more when we transf-"

I shriek as someone places a hand on my shoulder unexpectedly.

I turn to look at the owner of the hand, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" I let out a sigh when I see Cat Noir.

"That was Lady Wifi! Can you tell me what she was going on about dolls?" He asks to which I look at Marinette.

"I-I'm not sure but her voice belonged to a girl I babysit..." She says which I nod. "I think she was controlling our friend, Alya-I mean, Lady Wifi from a distance..."

"This is just so weird!" I say to look like it never happened to me before.

I let out a sheepish laugh as he nods.

"Do you know where she's heading?!" He asks to which Marinette shrugs, "Probably my house, since there's where the dolls are..." She stats leading him to nod.

He takes off with a wave, "Stay safe!" He says and we quickly rush to the railway bathroom.

We transform and quickly head to Marinette's bakery.

We get there before Cat Noir does. "Right here, kitty!" I call out to him and he lands on the roof with us.

"Just the person I was looking for~" Cat Noir says to which I blush yet stick out my tongue to him.

"If you're done flirting, we might as well go inside!" Ladybug gags.

"Y-Yeah, right!" I feel flustered and enter her room through the window. I look at Lady Wifi stealing the dolls of Ladybug, Cat Noir, Evillustrator, Rogercop and mine.

"Isn't it rude to steal from your babysitter?" I call out to which she turns back and scowls at us.

"Hah! Soon I'll get your miraculouses, you goody-two-shoes!" She yells at us to which I chuckle.

She tries to freeze us with multiple pause buttons.

"Remember the first time we defeated Lady Wifi?" I ask Cat Noir. He nods, "Take out the wifi signal! Got it!" He says and jumps out of the room.

I manage to snatch the dolls out of her hands. I grin when I see my doll.

"Aww~ You didn't have to~," I say discreetly gesturing to Ladybug. She grins back.

Lady Wifi lets out an angry whine and shoots a pause button at me, causing me to stop abruptly.

I drop the dolls which cause her to smirk.

Ladybug grabs some dolls from the ground but then gets paused by the villain as well.

I watch as she approaches Ladybug.

Suddenly, the pause button disappears signalling us that Cat Noir got rid of the signal.

I quickly use my whip to grab the villain's hands.

"Ladybug! Now!" I signal her and she grabs her phone and smashes it on the ground.

Surprisingly, no Akuma is flying out.

I look at Wifi who smirks and throws Marinette's chest at us. We dodge it but when we get ready in our stances, Lady Wifi's gone.

"Shoot..." I curse as we run out of the window and search for her.

"Did you get her Akuma?!" Cat Noir lands before us but I shake my head, "She doesn't have one..." I clarify.

"How is that possible?" He asks with his eyebrows furrowed. My mind suddenly clicks.

"Of course! She's being controlled by Puppeteer! Lady Wifi's just a puppet!" I state to which Ladybug nods.

I look at her hands and my eyes widen. "Please don't tell me she got the dolls..." I wince when she has a pained expression.

"That...minus one..." She chuckles sheepishly and holds up her Ladybug doll. Cat Noir and I groan.

"Let's get this villain before he turns us into puppets!" I say.

Cat Noir's miraculous beeps.

"I'll catch up with you two later!" He says and rushes away from the sudden beep.

"I'll call Mrs Chamack..." Ladybug says and pulls out her yo-yo.

I nod in understanding and wait for her to finish the call.

Once she hangs up, she swings her yo-yo.

"They're in the KIDZ+ TV studio!" She says and we head for the studio.

As soon as we both land on the entrance, Mrs Chamack, Manon's mother approaches us. Ladybug! Primvère! Is everything all right?!" She asks in a panic.

"Everything is going to be fine, we just need you to evacuate the building," Ladybug says.

"But my daughter's in here! I have to get her!" She says but I put a hand on her shoulder.

"Mrs Chamack, we'll do everything in our power to bring your daughter back," I say and then her expression softens.

She nods and runs out of the building.

Ladybug and I share a nod as we both run up to the studio where Manon was last seen.

I suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder causing me to harshly grab it and pin the culprit down.

It's Cat Noir.

"Relax, it's just me~," He says as I sigh in relief.

"But how did you know we were here?" I ask and he pulls out his baton.

"I have a tracker, of course." He says with a cheeky grin.

"Come on!" Ladybug says as she positions herself and charges towards the door.

She forcefully breaks it open.

We enter the room to see Puppeteer bringing the dolls to life. When she sees us, she smirks.

"Cat Noir! Come to life!" She chants and shoots a beam from her wand towards the Cat Noir doll.

"No!" Cat Noir yells and tries to get to his doll as it rises into the air and comes to life.

Cat Noir stops and drops down on the ground as his doll does.

"Cat Noir! Snap out of it!" I yell but in vain as he becomes the villain's puppet.

The Puppeteer laughs and points wands at my doll next.

"Primvère Rosé-" I interrupt her by using my whip to capture the doll. "Oh no, you don't!" I say and Ladybug attacks her.

Not so long after, the door bursts open and I see Evillustrator and Rogercop appear.

"Five against two? Is this even a battle?" I whine.

Puppeteer laughs and all of them gather; Cat Noir, Lady WiFi, Evillustrator and Rogercop. Evillustrator sketches out a new phone for Lady Wifi, as we destroyed hers before.

"Hey, that's not fair!" Ladybug says to her as both of us stand beside each other.

"Get those doll!" She commands them and the four of them charge at us.

Cat Noir spars with me as I grab my doll closely to my chest.

"Ladybug! Watch out!" I warn said-person as I see Lady Wifi attack her, not realising that I let my guard down for a second.

Cat Noir pushes me down the ground and restrains my wrists with his hands.

"I've got you where I want you!" He says with an evil smirk making me twist under him. He knocks the doll out of my hand and signals Lady WiFi to get it as Ladybug fights with Evillustrator and Rogercop.

"I'm sorry." I say to Cat Noir who looks at me confused, "For what?" He asks and I smirk.

"For this!" I say and kick him up in the air and knock him out by punching him in the jaw.

"Ouch, that's gonna hurt," I say as I watch his body fall to the ground.

I look at Lady Wifi who has my doll in her possession. She smirks at me and readies in her stance.

I lunge at her with my whip as she dodges and attacks me. I take this chance to knock the doll out of her hand.

She growls as we continue fighting.

I knock her down and smirk triumphantly before getting my doll. I throw a roll of duct tape to Ladybug who grabs it and uses it to trap the other two puppets.

We look at Puppeteer, who instead of throwing a tantrum like I thought she would, smirks.

Cat Noir attacks us from the back, claiming hers and my doll.

"Hey!" I try to get it back but we're interrupted by Lady Wifi shooting pause icons at us. We both hide behind a large prop. Rogercop and Evillustrator break free from their trap.

I see Cat Noir handing those dolls to Puppeteer. "Drop this dolls now, Manon!" I scold to which she sticks her tongue out to me, "I'm not Manon!" She says as the other four ready to attack us.

I look at Ladybug with a panicky look which makes her nod.

"Lucky Charm!" She chants and a power strip falls on her hands. "A power strip?" She gawks at it in a confused way. She then looks around in her lucky vision and then looks at me.

"Cover me!" She says to which I nod. She spins her yo-yo along with the power strip for protection

Evillustrator erases the prop revealing us. "Well, it's true that there's four of you." I state, "But we're twice as powerful!" I say and use my whip to block the attacks from the four of them.

Cat Noir attacks me but I dodge him. Ladybug then grabs his leg and throws him over to Lady Wifi, knocking them to the ground.

Rogercop shoots a beam at me but I use my whip to ricochet it towards Evillustrator and it cuffs his hands. I use my strength from my whip to toss both of them toward Lady Wifi who gasps and shoots pause icons at them.

"Ladybug! Primvère Rosé!" I hear Puppeteer start to chant.

Ladybug uses her whip to grab Lady Wifi's arm as she shoots a pause icon which aims towards the Puppeteer.

"Come to life-" Before she can finish her chant, the pause icon stops her motions, causing her and the other four to freeze.

I sigh in relief as a huge wave of panic leaves my chest.

Ladybug walks over to the villain and grabs her wand before breaking it. An Akuma flies out.

"Time to de-evilise!" She chants and captures the Akuma before releasing it.

"Miraculous Ladybug/Primrose!" We both chant as I shoot an arrow to the sky and she tosses the power strip in the air.

Everything goes back to normal.

I walk over to Manon who's on the ground.

"Primvère...?" She looks at me still dazed from the Akumatisation.

"No more injustice in the world and here's a token from a rose~," I chant and the rose petals that form around me hover over her wand.

She looks at it with excitement as a Primvère, Ladybug and Cat Noir charm gets attached to the bottom which makes her squeal.

"Now, you don't need those dolls because we'll be right here with you always~," I say and pick her up before giving her a nuzzle on the cheek.

She giggles and hugs me. "You're so awesome!" She says making me grin sheepishly.

"Anything for you, princess," I pluck a rose from my hair and tuck it on one of her pigtails. I place her down.

"Can you please take this little cutie to her mother?" I ask Alya who nod happily and catches the said-girl.

"What happened?" Cat Noir wakes up from his daze and approaches Ladybug and me.

"You kinda turned into a puppet but don't worry, you didn't do anything foolish~," I tell him and he sighs a breath of relief. "Thank goodness..."

He then looks at me, "And Prim?" He says. I look at him, "You can pull my heartstrings anytime~" He flirts and winks at me making my lips part slightly.

Ladybug gags at us and looks away.

I chuckle at the silly cat, "I think I liked you better when you were a puppet!" I remark jokingly to which he pouts childishly.

I turn away from them and wave, "I guess it's time for me to go." I say and run out of the building towards home.

Now that I know I'm out of sight, it's my turn to feel flustered at Cat's remark.

"Stupid cat..." I mutter with a face burning red.

End Chapter.
