We've been recognized as the superheroes of Paris. We're getting our own statue. Ladybug, Chat Noir, and I. I've already arrived at the ceremony, waiting for Chat and Ladybug. I'm sitting up on the base of the statue, waving to the crowd.

"I'm sure you've outdone yourself, Theo," the mayor says, patting him on the back. Theo is the man who made the statue.

Theo bows with his hand on his chest then grabs a photo from the inside of his jacket. "It was my honor. And I can't wait to meet Ladybug, I hope she'll autograph the photo I used as the inspiration for the statue," Theo replies.

"Oh, it's nearly time. Ladybug and Chat Noir should already be here by now," the mayor complains and turns toward me. "Where are they?"

"How should I know? I don't know who they are and what they do in their free time," I lie. "I'm sure they'll be here soon enough. Don't worry. If not I'll have them come personally visit you, Theo."

We wait awhile longer, and Chat eventually shows up. "Miss me, purrincess?"

"You're late," I huff.

"I'm sorry. I do have a life besides this too. Where's Ladybug?"

"I have no idea. I thought she'd come with you," I admit.

"Excuse me, Chat Noir and Kitsune, but Ladybug's not here," Theo says.

"Don't worry about Ladybug. I'm sure she'll be here any minute. We can handle this situation alone for now. I'm the one in charge anyway, you know," Chat says.

"Pffftt! You wish!" I laugh and poke his nose. He scrunches it up.

"It's just that, I wanted to ask her to autograph this photo. She's amazing. She's so brave and smart, the way she always saves everyone..."

"Perhaps the ceremony should commence. It might bring her here faster," the mayor says.

"Please, just one minute more, Mayor Bourgeois, she's going to come, I can feel it..." Theo begs.

Quite a few more minutes pass and the mayor gets impatient. Chat and I jump off from the base to the ground, ready for the reveal.

"I don't have any more time to wait, the crowd is getting antsy," the mayor says. "It's only proper for Paris to pay homage to those to protect us from evil. Ladybug, Kitsune, and Chat Noir!" The sheet covering it is pulled off and the crowd ooos and ahs.

"Wow! It looks fantastic!" I cheer. Chat and I begin smiling and waving to the crowd.

"Can I get some photos for the Ladyblog?" Alya asks.

"Sure," Chat says, throwing his arm around my shoulders, pulling me close. "Smile, Kitsune!" I smile and we take the picture.

I watch as Theo looks up at the statue, straight at Ladybug and sighs. I wiggle out from Chat's grasp and walk over to Theo. "Hey, Theo? I'm sure Ladybug was busy doing something else, but I'm sure she will see this soon," I say, trying to cheer him up.

Chat comes over and puts his arm on Theo's shoulder. "These statues are amazing. One thing slightly off though, I'm actually taller than Ladybug," Chat says.

"Ladybug didn't show up. I just wanted to express my adoration for her. Let her know that everything I had went into her statue. I'm sure she took a little time to get to know me. She would see how much we have in common. Our devotion to the things we love," Theo says, stars practically shining in his eyes.

"Hey, don't mean to burst your bubble, but you know, Ladybug and me, we're a thing, you know?"

I gape at Chat. Did he really just say that?! Then what's he think of me? I stomp my foot with a huff. Am I really getting mad over this? ...Of course I am! He's mine! Wait, what?

"Really?"

"Yeah, we're like this," Chat says as he crosses his fingers together.

Theo storms off angrily "What does Ladybug see in him?" he fusses.

Chat snickers and looks toward me. "What?"

"We're like this," I scoff mockingly, crossing my fingers and rolling my eyes. I turn away with a huff.

"Kitsune! That's not what I meant!"

"Whatever," I huff and roll my eyes. "You're an ass!" I hurriedly speed away.

~Adrien's POV~

"Aww man! Now I've made her mad at me!" I complain. "I didn't mean to hurt her!"

"Well, why did you say those things about you and Ladybug in the first place?" Plagg says, swallowing a piece of cheese.

"I don't know! I just think that guy was a little old for Ladybug. Uggh!" I complain and go into my bag to find my phone. "Ugh, where is my phone?" I look at Plagg in annoyance.

"What are you looking at me for? I didn't eat it. I swear!"

I grab the home phone and call my phone.

"Hey, this is Adrien's voicemail. Leave a message."

"Ugh, it must still be at the gym."

I get Gorilla to take me back to school, so I can search the gym locker room. The news plays on the tv inside the car.

"Ending, some astonishing news there's been a spectacular theft at the Louvre. Amateur video showed, without a shadow of a doubt, that the thief is none other than the famous hero, Chat Noir."

"This painting is the cat's meow," my imposter says and scurries off.

"Cat's meow?" I question. I hurriedly get out of the car, rushing up to the school. "Not only is that person a fake! He's a terrible fake!" I get into the locker room to transform and then leave from the top the roof. I make my way to the Louvre and hop onto the very top. All the guards turn around and aim their guns at me. "Whoa! Easy, tigers! You've got the wrong cat! That thief's an imposter. I'm the real Chat Noir!"

~Mirabelle's POV~

"The nerve of that no good jerk!" I huff, stuffing a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth.

"Yeah!" Flamme fusses with me, shoving a blueberry in his mouth. "Such a jerk!"

"News alert!" the tv screams at me, making a loud obnoxious noise.

I tumble back off my bed not expecting the loud noise. My spoon and ice cream container go sliding across the floor as I cover my ears. "Oww! My ears! Flamme turn it down! My hearing is sensitive!"

"Mine is too!" he huffs, covering his ears as well.

The noise eventually stops and the news shows up. "Please everyone! Stay indoors! The famous hero, Chat Noir has gone rogue! He just stole the Mona Lisa!" They show a video of Chat running out with the famous painting.

"I didn't upset him so bad that he'd commit to this, right?" I ask unsure and look at Flamme.

"Let's go find out!" he says.

"Time to transform! Flamme, tricks out!" I leap off and arrive at the same time Ladybug does.

"Monsieur Mayor, this is ridiculous. I'm sure there's a simple explanation," Ladybug says.

"Kitty's in the slammer, Ladybug," Officer Roger says, walking up to us. "And Kitsune."

"Don't think you're gonna keep him in there for–" Ladybug says but gets cut off.

"Now, now. Leave it to the experts, Ladybug. We've got it under control," Roger says.

"Yeah, leave it up to the experts. Leave that worthless cat in there," I huff, turning my nose up in disgust.

"Kitsune!? What are you talking about?! Chat Noir is our friend!" Ladybug says shocked.

"He's no friend of mine. He's a jerk. Let him pay for his crimes."

Ladybug looks at me with utter shock. "How could you say that?!"

Roger's walkie talkie buzzes and a voice comes through. "Chat Noir is getting away!"

Ladybug and Roger rush into the museum while I remain outside. I eventually get a call from Chat on my wrist cuffs. I answer and Ladybug also appears. "What do you want?" I scoff.

"Chat Noir, what's going on?" Ladybug asks. "And why does Kitsune hate you so much?"

"You know I'm innocent. Don't you?"

"I'm not too sure," I huff.

He sighs. "Look, I'm sorry, Kitsune. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Anyway, I'm gonna find the real culprit and save my tail. I'll get back to–" The police helicopter arrives as Roger and Ladybug run out the museum.

"Aren't you gonna go after him?" Roger asks.

"Uhh, I'll leave it to the experts," Ladybug says and leaves, taking me with her. She spins me out onto a roof. "Explain."

"NO! It's none of your business," I huff and follow Chat's location from my cuff communicator. I make my way to Theo's studio. "Theo is Copycat?" I gasp. "Chat turned him into a akumatized villain! Because he was jealous! Ooh! This just makes me angrier!" I sneak into the studio. Chat contacts Ladybug. Idiot. She can track you.

"Cat's in the bag?" The box bursts, and Chat Noir finds himself in chains. "Cataclysm!" The Copycat comes from behind and presses his hand onto a tablet, causing it to disintegrate.

Copycat twirls around Chat, grabbing his staff, and backs up out of Chat's reach. Chat begins trying to kick him and is about an inch from kicking his face. "I don't get what Ladybug sees in you. A fool who so easily falls into my trap," Copycat says. Chat stops trying to kick and reaches for his staff. "Looking for this? Which one should I pick up? My one or my one?" The staff starts ringing and Copycat answers. "Ladybug, hurry up. I've caught the imposter at Theo Barbot's workshop."

"I'll be there in 30 seconds," Ladybug's voice comes through the staff and the call ends.

"Don't come here, Ladybug! It's a trap!" Chat yells.

"Too late, Chat. Ladybug's on her way, which was my plan all along."

"She won't be duped. She knows me too well."

"I know you well too. And from now on, she'll love me, not you!"

"Love me? ....You're right! She loves me! That's why she'll be able to reveal your true identity!"

I leap down from my hiding place as Copycat knocks down Chat onto the floor to steal his Miraculous.

"Huh?" Copycat says, looking up at me.

"Ha ha!"

"Kitsune! Glad you could make it! The akuma is in his ring. Grab it."

"No, the akuma is the picture in your pocket," I say. "I'm cunning not stupid. I've been watching since this jerk here got here. Anyways, Copycat, I hate this pussy cat just as much as you do."

"You lie."

"No, I'm incredibly pissed off at Chat Noob. How he said that him and Ladybug were a thing made me mad because we had a thing. I don't like him anymore. What do you want me to do to prove it to you?"

"Punch him," Copycat says and gets up off Chat, pulling him up along with him.

I smirk. "Gladly."

"Please, Kitsune... I'm soo sorry! I didn't mean what I said!"

I scoff. "That's what they all say."

"Kitsune!"

"No, I don't wanna hear it! Did you know that he was akumatized because of you?" I ask. "I could never forgive you for that!"

"Kit–" He gets cut off by me punching him in the nose, causing him to fall back onto the ground.

"Wow, that felt good."

Chat groans, holding his nose. "A-Alright... I deserved that..."

Copycat gets back on top of Chat and begins to take his Miraculous. I hear Ladybug's yo-yo and she leaps down to the scene.

"There you are," Copycat says.

"Chat Noir! He really looks like you!" she says, looking at both of them.

"That's because I am me!" Chat says.

"Where is his akuma?" Ladybug asks, looking at me.

"Inside his pocket, of course. It's a picture of you," I say.

Chat Noir's ring beeps.

"He even has the same powers as you," Ladybug inquires.

"Simply amazing, isn't it?" Copycat says.

"How'd you get him in chains?" Ladybug asks.

"Idiot walked right into it," I admit, still not telling her that Chat is the one in the chains.

"Thanks," Chat says sarcastically.

"No problem."

Ladybug unzips his pockets to find no picture. "I thought you said a picture was in his pocket?"

"I did, but I never said that the Copycat was the one chained up," I say.

Copycat leaps back. "I love you, Ladybug! I'm way better than this mangy alley cat!"

"Sorry, but liars are losers. Chat Noir may annoy me to pieces, but he's never lied to me."

"Thanks for the compliment. I think."

"If I can't have you, then nobody will! Cataclysm!" Copycat yells and runs towards them.

"Let's wrap this up! Lucky Charm!" A spoon appears. "A spoon? What am I supposed to do with this?" Copycat is about to use his Cataclysm, but Ladybug puts Chat Noir's chains in the way so that Copycat frees him.

"Excellent job, my lady." Chat's Miraculous beeps. "Let's hurry this up!"

"Ha ha ha. You're going to change back before me," Copycat says.

I sigh. "I'm getting tired of this." I throw a blast of fire at Copycat.

"I thought you were on my side!" Copycat shouts.

"Oops, sorry! I thought you were the other one!" I lie and tackle him. I get really close to his face and kiss his nose while taking out the picture from his pocket. "Ladybug!" I rip the picture and the akuma butterfly flies out. Ladybug cleans it, and I leave before anyone can stop me, but of course Chat catches me. "Leave me alone."

"Please, Kitsune. J-just listen to me!" he begs. "I didn't mean it."

"Then why'd you say it?!" I ask, ripping my arm out of his grasp, but he grabs it again and turns me around.

"Because that creep was way too old for Ladybug."

"So, what, you now know how old Ladybug is?"

"No, but I figure she's around the same age as me," he says. "I was just protecting her as if I was a protective older brother."

"That's not how you made it sound," I huff, turning my head away from looking at him.

"I didn't mean to make it sound wrong," he says. "I only care about you."

"And the girl Mirabelle."

He sighs. "I'd give her up for you."

"You don't even know me," I say.

The paw on his ring disappears, and he starts to transform back to Adrien. His Kwami looks at me and Adrien with shock. "But you know me."

"Well I do now!" I shout.

"Don't lie. You already knew me before. You answered my poem. The only way you could've done that is if you were watching me."

"Adrien..."

His Kwami falls asleep on his shoulders, and Adrien takes him into his hand like a bed. "I'm sorry."

I huff, and he hugs me. "Shut up. I forgive you! Jeez! Now let's get you home before you pass out too." I drop him off at his house. He begins to doze off, and I tuck him and his Kwami into bed.

He giggles. "Who knew you'd get so jealous?"

"I wasn't jealous," I pout.

"You totally were." He passes out.

I sigh. "Goodnight, Adrien. Get some rest, we have a test in Madame Bustier's class tomorrow." I scratch under his chin and he purrs in content. I giggle as I kiss his forehead and quietly leave to my house.

~~~The next day~~~

I walk in and sit in my normal seat next to Nathanael. "Good morning, Nathan!"

He smiles shyly. "Hi, Mirabelle."

"Mirabelle! We should totally go see a movie together so you can spend some time away from this loser," Chloe says, coming up to me with Sabrina following close behind and pointing to Nathan. "My father can get us to a movie premiere before the movie comes out. All you have to do is choose one."

"Do not call my friend a loser!" I fuss with Chloe. "He may not be rich like you and I, but that doesn't mean we should treat him any different. Go away, Chloe. You disgust me." I turn towards Nathan. "Hey, you wanna go to the movies tonight? I heard The Secret Life of Pets came out a few days ago. Want to go see it?"

"S-sure!" Nathan says.

"We were thinking about going as well," Nino says.

"Could the four of us tag along too?" Alya asks.

"That seems a-ok with me!" I say, grinning.
