Chloé was sitting in her room doing her evening face routine. "To think that I can be this beautiful and gorgeous. Hmm. Nature was so kind to me." She said with a smile and added her night facemask. Suddenly she heard something from outside and looked out her window. There she saw Ladybug and Chat Noir fighting another villain. "Ugh. Ofcourse that Monarch have to attack during night aswell. Well. Atleast the heroes isn't lazy and actually do their job." Chloé said before laying down in her bed.

The next day Chloé was eating breakfast alone as always. She was scrolling through her phone checking news on Alya's hero blog. Suddenly she got a face call. When she saw who it was, she smiled and answered. "Hey sis. Long time no see." On the the other end of the call was Chloé's big sister. Zoé. She was twenty two years old and was an actor in New York. Chloé loved her big sister as she was there for her when they were younger.

"Hey lil sis. I know. But a lot of work shooting scenes you know. Anyway. How is it going in Paris?" Zoé asked and Chloé smiled. "It's good. Just a villain who makes other villains. You know." She said nonchalantly. Zoé nodded as she had heard about it from the news. "Good thing Ladybug and Chat Noir is there." Chloé nodded before looking at Zoé questioning. "Zoé. When are you coming home to Paris? It's not the same without you." Zoé smiled gently. "I'll come to Paris in a couple of weeks. I promise. Then we can spend time together in person." This made Chloé smile back.

Soon a male voice was heard from Zoé's end. "Zoé! Your scene is about to start." Zoé sighed before smiling at Chloé. "I gotta go little sis. Love you my little honeybee." Chloé giggled at the nickname Zoé always called her. "Love you too." The call ended and Chloé sighed before finishing her breakfast. Afterwards she headed out and meet up with Sabrina. "Hey Chloé. Ready for our shopping day?" The red haired girl asked and Chloé smiled. "Ofcourse. Let's go." The two headed off and looked through different stores.

Chloé loved spending time with Sabrina. She was her bestest friend. Chloe's number one favorite person. Well actually Chloé herself was her number one favorite person, then Zoé was number two. But atleast Sabrina was in the top three. People would think Sabrina was Chloé's pet dog. But that wasn't the case. Chloé really cared about Sabrina. And would do anything for her. She even once punched another student for hurting Sabrina. Ofcourse she got in trouble. But it was worth it to defend her friend.

They arrived at a makeup store and Sabrina held up two lipsticks. "Chloé. Which one fits me better?" She asked and Chloé looked at the two before comparing their colors to Sabrina's skin and eyes. Soon she held up the light pink one. "This one fits better with your skin and eyes." Sabrina smiled and tested it. "No wonder you're a great influencer Chloé. You really have talent for makeup and beauty." Chloé smiled. "Ofcourse. I didn't get my sponsorships for nothing." They both laughed before paying for their things.

Afterwards they arrived at a restaurant and ordered some lunch. Chloé ordered a chicken salad while Sabrina took a club sandwich. To that they had soda. "Did you hear about the heroes's fight last night? Monarch seems to attack during night aswell." Sabrina said and took a bite of her sandwich. "Yeah. I saw when I was preparing for bed. Good thing Ladybug and Chat Noir is prepared to defend Paris during the night aswell." Chloé answered and smiled. Sabrina nodded as they continued to eat.

Chloé started to think a little. Ladybug and Chat Noir was heroes yes. But they were also regular humans under their suits. Well atleast they had to be. Anyway, Chloé couldn't help but think how they managed to go up against villains. No one asked them to do it. They just did because it was the right thing to do. Meanwhile she knew she wouldn't be able to be a hero like them. Not because she wouldn't help people in danger. But because she wasn't as strong minded as them. They were strong enough to defend the city, not even doubting their skills. Not even thinking that they could fail.

Meanwhile Chloé knew she could never be a hero as she would always think what would happen if she failed. She could never live with that fear of failing and costing someone's life because she failed. "Chloé? Chloé!" Sabrina's voice snapped Chloé out of her thoughts. "What? Sorry Sabrina. Just thought about a new post I should do." She lied. Not wanting her childhood friend to worry about her insecurities. Sabrina just nodded with a smile. But she knew something was bothering her friend.

The day went by and Chloé returned to her room. She layed down in the bed and sighed before noticing a small box on her makeup desk. "Oh. They're finally here." Chloé walked up and opened the box, revealing a pair of ladybug earrings. After Ladybug and Chat Noir arrived people started making merchandise for them. And this earrings was the newest. So ofcourse Chloé got them sent to her to show up on her account. Chloé put them on and smiled. "Perfect. Just need a perfect outfit for them." She went to her walk in closet and chose a red shirt with black stripes and a black skirt. Aswell as ruby shoes.

After doing her makeup Chloé took pictures of herself and showed up the earrings. Afterwards she uploaded them and quickly got likes and comments. They said that Chloé would fit as a hero, and that the Ladybug style fits her. Ofcourse Chloé smiled but then looked down with a sigh. "I'm not fit to be a hero. I'm not like them. I can't be Ladybug." She felt how thoughts started to fill her head. Thoughts of her as a hero and failing to save people. Her breath started to speed up as these thoughts started to fill her mind more.

Suddenly she heard a familiar voice. "Can't be Ladybug? Well maybe I can help you with that." Chloé turned around and saw Monarch. "No. I'm not letting you turn me into a villain!" She shouted and tried to run away. But the akuma flew into her earrings, freezing her in place. "Don't worry. Let out your chaos." Monarch whispered into her ear. To his surprise Chloé started to fight against the akuma. Through the pain she got. "No! I'm not gonna be your puppet." Monarch sighed and snapped his fingers. That's when Chloé's eyes turned purple and she stopped fighting.

"Good. Now become my minion of chaos. Antibug." Dark clouds covered Chloé. After they disappeared she now stood there as Antibug. "Ofcourse Monarch." She said with an evil grin.

Marinette was doing her homework with Tikki sitting on the desk eating a cookie. "You're really good at math Marinette." The little kwami said. "Yeah. Must be thanks to me designing and counting how much each thing I make costs." Marinette answered. Suddenly she felt chaotic energy. "An akuma." Her phone rang and Marinette stood up to answer. Accidentally slipping and falling. She quickly stood up. "I'm okay." Soon she answered her phone where Adrien spoke. "Check out Alya's livestream." He said and Marinette did just so.

When she clicked the video her eyes widend. There she saw someone who looked like her but with reversed colors. "Yes viewers. Seems like our akumatized victim has the power and apperence of Ladybug. She call herself Antibug, so stay away from her. For your own safety." Alya said and Marinette gasped. "Time to transform." She soon said before she and Adrien transformed. They meet up on a rooftop and saw Antibug using a giant lucky charm sword to cut cars into pieces. "Seems like we either got a big fan. Or a hater." Chat Noir said and Ladybug nodded before throwing her yoyo again Antibug. Said villain noticed and smirked before catching it.

"Trying to trap me like a bug?" She smirked and pulled Ladybug towards her. The ladybug hero looked into her eyes shocked and a little scared. "You should know that I'm like a reflection. I can see all your moves." Antibug soon spun Ladybug around and threw her into the air. "Ladybug!" Chat Noir shouted. Ladybug quickly got her footing and landed on a roof. "I'm okay. This villain really is powerful. If I'm right the akuma must be in her earrings." She said and Antibug grinned.

"Hey. How come you wanna be my partner?" The cat hero asked. "Oh. It's simple. Now I don't need to worry about failing. I'm now so confident about being a hero. Just like you." The villain said and both heroes's eyes widened. They didn't never think about that others thought they weren't worried about failing. "That's not true. We do get worried about failing. This is a big responsibility and we know that one mistake will cause distraction." Ladybug said calmly and Antibug's face softened.

She didn't know that. Suddenly her head hurt and her eyes glew purple before she growled at the heroes. "Doesn't matter. I'll destroy you." She said and summoned a bazooka. Both heroes gulped. "I think we should go." Chat Noir said before Antibug shot at them. They dogged the shot and landed on opposite roofs. "Lucky charm!" Ladybug said and got a ladybug colored flypaper. Her lucky vision activated and she saw Antibug, Chat Noir, the fly paper and their weapons. With a smirk she got into action and put a piece of the fly paper onto her yoyo. "Chat Noir!" She threw the rest of the fly paper toward Chat Noir who caught it and put some on his staff.

Antibug continued to shot at them but the heroes dogged. "Antibug! Take this." Ladybug said before she and Chat Noir threw their weapons at the villain. Antibug smirked and caught them. "You thought that would work?" She tried to drop them. But noticed her hands were stuck on the fly paper. "Look at that. An insect trapped in fly paper." Chat Noir smirked and cataclysmed the earrings. The akuma flew out and Chat Noir purified it before Ladybug restored everything to normal. Antibug soon returned to Chloé and looked around before gasping. "I got akumatized. No. I'm so sorry." Ladybug gently held her shoulder.

"Hey. It's okay. Everything is okay now." She smiled and Chloé smiled back. Soon Ladybug took Chloé back to the hotel. "Thank you Ladybug." The young Bourgeois girl said and Ladybug smiled. "Ofcourse. And Chloé. You're wrong that me and Chat Noir don't feel worried about being heroes. Wondering if we'll fail. Just scared that we can't save anyone. We do. We might be heroes. But we're still normal humans." Chloé's eyes widened a little. "You may think you're not fit to be a hero. But you caring about others and worrying to fail shows you are. So don't doubt yourself." Ladybug smiled at Chloé and hugged her.

Slowly Chloé hugged her back and smiled. "Thank you Ladybug. You're the best. You're truly miraculous." She said and Ladybug giggled before swinging off. Being left alone Chloé started to think about what Ladybug said and smiled. She went to her makeup desk and started doing her makeup. With gentle strokes she put on black and yellow makeup. Resembling a bee. A smile appered on her face when she looked in the mirror. "Me, a hero. Why not? Then I could help Ladybug and Chat Noir." She giggled and smiled. Not seeing the orb of yellow light outside her window who watched her.
