(Lastly on Fever Amends)

Plagg-"You'll be fine, people are blind. Are you sure your okay, you look kinda off"

Adrien-"I'm fine"

Alya- "We need the dresses and masks in two days, so get working."

Marinette-"See you later then"

(back to the present)

Marinette scooted quickly around her room in her wheeled office chair, searching for her supplies. "Oh no, Tikki. If I wear a mask like Ladybugs! Then they'll know I'm Ladybug!"

She was almost done with the dresses and they were both on the mannequins waiting for touch-ups. She still needed some materials that she was missing and couldn't get till the next morning. Now all she had to do was design and make the masks. However, for reasons, she couldn't help but worry.

"Then the mask better be nothing like Ladybugs" Her kwami Tikki, was also hovering around her owner frantically, "make it as elaborate as you can, Alya's counting on you!"

Marinette went quiet as she focused solely on her sketch pad where two roughly drawn masks were drawn to match the dresses. She dropped her pencil and held up the paper to look it over.

"Okay Tikki. How's this?"

Tikki flew up to also look at it better. "That great Marinette. Now let's get working so we can get some sleep."

(time skip for the love of Tikki's cookies)

Alya and Marinette met up outside the school, our hero panting slightly from her fast-paced morning. "Okay!" she paused to calm her mind down then screamed "ALYA!"

Her best friend just rolled her eyes, laughing faintly at her friend's antics. "Alya! Whew. Our dresses and masks will be done tomorrow."

"Awesome girl, they will be great." they both started walking up the steps and through the doors to the lockers.

"So about the dance. Who do you think will notice us."

"Whoa Alya, don't go dancing with anyone else now," Nino said from behind us at his own locker.

"Well unless you find out who I am, I'll have no choice, now will I" Alya retorted back. Then she went to his ear, "besides, aren't you Djing."

"We don't also have a live band for nothing," Nino whispered back to Alya.

"Good luck Nino. She'll be totally unrecognizable." Marinette smirked slightly at the thought of her best friend who would probably kill her boyfriend if he didn't recognize her. I doubt it will happen because they are superheroes and they know who each other are, so a couple of masks shouldn't stop them. However, they don't know I know that and it doesn't hurt to tease them.

"Okay dudette, harsh." Nino turned to his best bud who had turned up by his locker somewhere in the time she was thinking. "Adrien, what do you think?"

Adrien looked at them with a tired look, "I don't know" he sighed out.

"Are you okay?" Alya asked.

"Yeah dude, are you sure you aren't getting a fever?" Nino asked and Marinette looked at him worriedly.

"I'll be fine by tomorrow and the dance." he said closing his locker and walking out the door towards class, his friends following closely behind him.

"Okay, but you seriously need to get some rest." Alya said with a concerned look.

"Fine, I'll think about it." he muttered and walked into the classroom. Marinette, Alya, and Nino just looked at each other.

"I swear his dad works him too hard," Nino said and followed him inside the classroom to sit next to him.

Throughout the whole day, Adrien kept looking worse and worse. It eventually got to the point of him asking Natalie to skip fencing and postpone the photoshoot. However, he wasn't convinced he was sick.

"Adrien, your friends are right, you need rest and tons of camembert!" Plagg said once the door to his room closed and he came out of his pocket. He was also worried for his owner but he had a reputation to uphold.

"No Plagg, I just need some fresh air, that's all!" 'Maybe I should have forced him to reset,' Plagg sighed.

"Can't I just digest my cheese first!"

"Plagg claws out!"

Chat Noir jumped out the window and just started roaming around Paris, "Maybe I'll see Ladybug while I'm out here."

With each step he took, his breath got heavy and his brain went blurry. Quite uncommon when in superhero form. He was beginning to think his friends were right. Then he jumped...

(meanwhile)

"Tikki, do you think someones going to dance with me?" she said while cleaning up her clutter from making the dresses and masks.

"I guarantee it, you're gonna look gorgeous in these." she said with a big smile admiring her owner's work.

"Maybe I'll end up with Adrien." her smile wide at the thought.

"If so, you won't stutter cause you won't see his face." Tikki said and they both started giggling.

"Yeah-" suddenly the two heard a loud thunk above them like someone was on the balcony. "What was that?" Marinette paused and climbed onto her bed to get to the balcony.

Once she was up there she saw a dark figure crumpled on the floor of her balcony, also known as the roof of her house.

"Chat Noir?!" she was surprised to see her partner there at all, much less in his position.

"He's out cold," Tikki said once she saw he was knocked out and couldn't see or hear her. Marinette went to check what was wrong with him checking his forehead and pulse.

"Not cold, Tikki. Warm. He's burning up with a fever." Marinette's voice wavered with worry.

"Milady," both the hero and her kwami paused and looked at Chat fearfully, both knowing that's what he called Ladybug. Which neither of them were at the moment.

"Ummmmmm," Marinette started, wondering if he knew or if it was the fever talking. "No, it's me. Marinette."

"Huh, Marinette! Princes I..." he started his eyes still closed but him shifting slightly.

"Shshsh, no kitty. Don't speak. You have a fever, try to rest." she said and saw him relax.

"Thank you."

"Tikki! Open the door so I can get him inside." she said to her kwami quietly.

"Shouldn't we ask your parents?"

"I don't want to bother them." she said and tried to lift the black cat, "argh, he's too heavy!"

"Do you need to transform?" At this, Marinette looked at Tikki, shocked at the suggestion.

"But Tikki-" she started but paused at the worried look on her face, perhaps more so than her own.

"Just do it!"

"Spots on." and there where Marinette and Tikki once were, stood the single Ladybug. "Come on, you stupid cat!" She then lifted Chat with her heightened strength and took him inside her bedroom and set him on the chaise gently.

"Spots off, I hope he doesn't remember any of this." she said while looking into his face. Then she looked up at Tikki.

"Stay here. I'm going to get some things for that fever." Then she went to her trap door and disappeared downstairs.

She came back up with some medicine and a wet cloth and some other things to help soothe the fever. She put the towel on and sighed.

"And there you go." she said sitting up. "Once he gets some sleep he'll be back to his old punning self."

"I'm sure you're right, I think it's our turn to get some sleep.," the goddess said with a yawn.

"Ok, just let me set something out in case he wakes up. What does his kwami like?" Marinette said, about to disappear downstairs again.

"Plagg? He's obsessed with cheese." Tikki said, drifting to the bed and making herself comfortable.

Marinette came back and went to a table next to the chaise. She set down a glass of water, a piece of cheese, a scarf, and a letter. Even though she wanted him to feel better and get enough rest, she couldn't help but hope he woke up before her and forgot about everything that had just happened.

Marinette yawned and went to her bed, getting under the covers snuggly. "Goodnight Tikki. Goodnight Chat, hope you feel better." she said and fell asleep. Tikki also yawned.

"Goodnight Marinette." goodnight Plagg. They were all now asleep, their thoughts wandering in different directions, except one in common. How will tomorrow go?
