Nathaniel's POV:
I'm watching Y/N be chased by Stormy Weather and Lady Wifi "Heeelp!" She yells out, but to no one in particular.
She runs away from Stormy Weather and turns the corner but she finds Lady Wifi. Lady Wifi throws a pink pause icon on her, and Stormy Weather freezes her with her parasol.
Then I snap, I turn into a different person and run to Y/N. Eventually Super Nathan arrives, I erase Stormy Weather's parasol. I traps the two villains in a cage that I draw.
I turn to the ice block Y/N is trapped in and erase it. She rolls out, but before she can hit the ground I catch her.
"Oh, Super Nathan, thank you! You're my hero!" Y/N tells me "It was nothing." I tell her. She hugs me and says "I love you!" I return the hug "I love you too, Y/N!"
"Nathaniel! What are you drawing?" Ms.Mendeleiev asks me slightly agitated.
I look up and snap out of my daydream.
"Wha, wha---" I stutter. "And these artistic endeavours, are clearly why you are failing science." Ms. M says to me. "I'm sorry..." I apologize. "You go march yourself down to the principal's office and show him that checked scratch! Then you'll be really sorry!" Ms. M says rudely.
I get up and walk to the door. As I walk down the aisle I trip over Mylène's bag, I fall and drop my sketchbook. I go to stand up and get it but Chloé grabs it.
"Ooh! Look, Sabrina! It's him as a superhero! And look who he's saving! It's Y/N!" She tells everyone. "Uh-" Y/N says. "He's so totally crushing on you, Y/N!" Chloé says. I look up and see Adrien looking kinda angry towards me because I like his girlfriend.
"Gimme that!" I yell at Chloé and reach for my book "Enough! Nathaniel, go!" Ms. M says. I have had enough, so I storm out of the classroom.
Hawkmoth's POV:
I open my window as a citizen is saddened. "Ahhh... Artists can be so... emotional. I love it." I say and turn a butterfly into an akuma, "Fly to him, my little akuma. Draw him into our evil web!" I say.
Nathaniel's POV:
I walk down the hallway, and slouch down against the wall, but I drop my pencil as I sit down. But when I reach for it, a black butterfly goes inside of my pencil. Then I hear a voice, "Are you tired of having your creative spirit crushed? Evillustrator, I'm your friend and patron of the arts. I'm here to offer you support. But I don't give this kind of power for free. I have a couple of items that need retrieving." The voice says.
"Just tell me what you want, and it's yours!" I reply to the voice. I transform into a villain.
Y/N'S POV:
We have a group project today, and I can already tell it won't go very smoothly. Ms.M is announcing the groups, "The next particle physics presentation group is Nino, Adrien and Alya!" I cringe on the inside knowing that I won't be with Adrien
"Oh! So lucky! I mouth to Alya" then Ms. Mendeleiev announces the next groip, "And then, Sabrina, Chloé and Y/N." As soon as I hear my name I cringe even harder. "So unlucky." Alya mouths to me.
"Uh, Miss, can't you add her to another group? Sabrina and I work much better on our own." Chloé asks
"This is a group presentation, not pairs! Deal with it." Ms.M tells her. I like Ms. M attitude to Chloé. "I hate dealing with it!" Chloé whines like a baby.
"You wouldn't be willing to trade groups, would ya?" I ask Alya. She glances toward them and looks at me. "And deal with that twosome terror? Sorry. But I promise to talk all about you in between particles and the physics!" She tells me. It's better than nothing I guess. "You're the best, thanks!" I tell her and give her a hug.
In the locker room:
" Ugh, forget it, Sabrina. I don't have time for some dumb project. Besides, now you have Y/N to help you!" Chloé tells her. "Okay, that's fine, Chloé. We'll do the work. Don't worry." Sabrina says and smiles. That poor poor girl, I think to myself.
"Um, is everything okay?" I ask them. "It's fine, Y/N!" She rolls her eyes. "Well then, why can't you help us with the project?" I ask her with sass. "None of your business, Miss Nosy!" Chloé says and pokes me.
"Uh, actually, since I'm part of this group, it is." I tell her. "It's okay, Y/N. You and I will do all the research, and the writing for our project, and then, Chloé can present it! That way it's equal." Sabrina whispers to me.
"That's not equal at all! Is that how you two work?!" I ask her kinda angry, the anger pointed to Chloé. "Yeah! We've been doing this ever since grade school, when I started doing Chloé's homework! And we've been BFF's ever since!" Sabrina exclaims. I feel horrible for Sabrina
"You got a problem with that? Come on, Sabrina." Chloé demands. "Sabrina, Chloé's totally taking advantage of you. You don't have to do what she says. That's not how a real best friend acts!" I explain to her.
"Ugh, not only am I Sabrina's best friend, I'm her only friend, so she better do what I say, 'cause without me, she has nothing." Chloé says expecting me to care. "Well, I'd rather have no friends than be friends with you." I scoff
"Whatever. I've got more important things to worry about. My hair is a hot mess and Jean Claude promised to work his magic. Later!" Chloé walks away.
Time skip:
I'm about to leave when Sabrina comes to me.
"Y/N!" She says and hugs me. "I can't believe you stood up to Chloé like that! It was so amazing." She says clearly excited.
"Uhh, well...Yeah, what are friends for?" I say looking for words. "You are my friend, and I'm really super excited to hang out with you, and have a new best friend who actually helps with the project! We're going to have the absolute best time together! Then, we'll do the presentation, and tell Ms. Mendeleiev the truth about Chloé! Sound good?" Sabrina asks me in one breathe.
" Uh. Sounds...great?" I question. "YAY! Then I'll see you in the library, bestie!" She says and walks away.
In the library:
Sabrina is refusing to do Chloé's assignment. "Ugh! What do you mean, you're not doing my assignment?!" Chloé freaks out. "Y/N's right! I...I'm not your slave!" Sabrina says confidently.
"I never actually said that..." I say. "But Y/N didn't buy a super cute beret at Gabriel's, and I did! And perhaps I could lend it to you." Chloé tries to bargain.
"Excuse me, but are you trying to bribe her into staying your friend? With a hat?" I question Chloé.
"Uhhh... really, really adorable hat! That would look fantastic on me!" Sabrina gets excited.
"No, excuse from ME, but you are trying to steal my friend from me, with homework!" Chloé demands.
Adrien's POV:
I'm in the library trying to work on my project with the others when I hear Chloé scream, I roll my eyes.
"Ahh! My hair!" She whines. Then I see a giant hairdryer appear.
"Ahhh! Please! Please! Ahhhh!" Chloé cries.
I decide that I should probably go help her. Not that I want to but...
"Plagg, claws out!" I say and turn into ChatNoir. "No, Not the hair!" Chloé whines again.
Y/N's POV:
"Time to transform! Jack claws out!" I say and turn into Tigerlily. "No! Stop!" Chloé cries out.
I come out of my hiding spot and see Ladybug already there. She leaps onto the hairdryer. "Run and hide!" She yells to the students
Chloé runs away from the dryer, along with everyone else in the room.
Chat jumps down to me, he smiles "I got wind that you were being blown away by a hairy situation." "Fewer puns, more action!" Ladybug shouts. I giggle at them.
We corner the hairdryer and it disintegrates, Chat and I look up, I think he's noticed it too. "Well, that guy looks pretty sketchy!" Chat says, after noticing that it was like a drawing.
The three of us chase after the Evillustrator, I can almost reach him, but I blink for a split second and BAM! The three of us crash into a wall that he must have drawn.
"Where'd he go?" Ladybug asks us. I shrug cause I misses it. "I don't know, but he sure has a way of illustrating his point." Chat says. I roll my eyes and ladybug groans "Ughhh..."
At the hotel:
"Seems this Evillustrator's targeting you specifically, Chloé. Any idea why?" Ladybug asks Chloé. "No. Everyone adores me." Chloé boasts "Yeah, because you're sooo adorable." I tell her sarcastically and roll my eyes.
"Yeesss! Tigerlily just said I'm adorable! I totally need a picture of the two of us together!" Chloé says and grabs her phone, and she takes a photo of us. "Ugh! That was unpleasant." I whisper.
"Well, I look great, of course, but your smile is all wonky. I'll take another!" Chloé insists and takes another photo
"Sorry, I'm just a little camera shy." I lie to her.
"Looks like somebody's got a fan!" Chat says happily. "Yeah, great." I groan.
"So what's the deal? Why are you acting so weird? Come on, you gotta admit that having this girl worship you is pretty awesome." Chat asks.
I look over and see Nathaniel's photo destroyed. "Ugh, seriously? I'm over this! Let's go!" I angrily say. "Are you kidding me? And what if the Evillustrator attacks her again?" Ladybug asks me. "Fine! You guys stay! Later!" I say. "What do you mean later?" Chat asks me.
"I mean, you're the ones who wants to protect her, but you don't need me. So, later!" I say and swing on my bow
"Ahhh! Tigerlily! Text me! OK!" Chloé fangirls at me while I'm leaving.
Back at the manor:
I get back and turn back to normal, I throw my purse at the couch in anger and flop on the bed. "Ow!" Jack says and rubs his little head. "Hey!"
"Sorry, Jack... Chloé! She just... Ugh! She really... Makes me an angry kitty!" I try to explain. "Well, simmer down! A hot head isn't going to get you anywhere!" Jack tries to calm me down.
"It's hard to keep my cool. Especially when I'm in school. Oh my gosh! Sabrina! Our project!" I realize. I check my phone and see piles upon piles of unanswered texts and calls from Sabrina.
"Uh-oh... Looks like you got yourself a new BFF!" Jack says energetically.
Jack looks up and hides, he must have seen something. I look up and see that it's Evillustrator.
"It's you! From the library! What are you doing here?" I ask nervously. "I just wanted to see you." He says calmly. "Okay... But why did you attack Chloé?" I ask him. " 'Cause Chloé is cruel and selfish!" He replies.
" But... yeah I actually can't argue with that... Are you going to hurt me?" I say. "You? You're Y/N! You're beautiful and sweet and... you're perfect and I could never hurt you!" He says very lovingly.
"Wow...that's, uh... very, umm...flattering! Uh, thank you?" I say, I can feel my cheeks go pink. They always do when I get complimented.
"So, I just came by to ask you, it, uh, well, it's my birthday today, and, uh, would you wanna come to my party?" He asks me.
"Oh, umm... Actually, it's not really the best night. See, I got a presentation to work on, and...I have to call my friend, so we can meet and... I..." I try to say.
"Oh please, Y/N! It'll just be you and me." He says and draws something, he hands it to me. It's an invitation.
"Oh my goodness! That's...me!" I say shocked. "You like it?" He asks very nervously. "I...love it! So much that I will absolutely be at your party. On one condition." I ask. "Anything for you, Y/N." He says.
"You can't hurt Chloé anymore. I simply cannot bear violence." I say and gag on my own words. "For you and only you. Meet you on the left bank, next to Notre-Dame, at sunset!" Evillustrator says, he draws a rocketpack, and flies away.
"Ahh...." I yelp. "What on earth are you thinking Y/N?" Jack asks me. "I'm thinking poor Nathaniel's got a crazy crush on me. And his alter ego, the Evillustrator's gonna get crushed by Tigerlily! I respond.
"Yes, but... how exactly is Tigerlily going to crush this crush when...you're going on a date with him as Y/N?" Jack asks me.
"Oh, maybe some cool cat and bug can crash the party." I say smiling.
Adrien's POV:
"Ohhh... Sabrina is so so selfish! Making me do this project by myself?! Ugh, my brain hurts..." Chloé whines. Then she looks at me "Huh? Hey! Cat Noir, Are you any good at particle physics?" She asks me.
"Oh, this cat's got particle physics in the back." I brag. "Ah! Great!" She squeals and pulls his arm. "Sit, kitty!" She says and gives me the project "Now, make it sound purr-fect for my presentation...See what I did? I made a cat joke! Ah! I can be funny." She giggled.
"Yeah, hilarious." I say sarcastically. Then my staff rings and I answer it. "You can't just fly out of here and then decide to make cat calls, Tigerlily!" I joke
"I'm sorry guys.that was a call." She must have LB on the phone too. "But you can leave Chloé. I need you to protect this girl instead." She continues and a picture pops up My eyes widen. "Her name is Y/N Really cute, isn't she? The Evillustrator is in love with her, and promised not to harm Chloé as long as Y/N comes to his birthday party." She says. I can't believe Y/N is going to that.
Chloé comes over and dings the bell around my neck and points to her homework. I reach out and shove her sticking my tongue out. Then I continue on the phone with Tigerlily and LB.
"While he's distracted, I want you two to take him down." She says
"What about you?" I hear LB asks.
"I'm going on... a very important secret mission. I'll catch up with you later. Can you handle this with out me?" She asks
"Ha! Please! It'll be a cinch!" I say and close the phone. I turn to Chloé "You're out of danger, uh, so I'll see ya! Later!" I say as I jump off of the balcony. "Later?! What about my presentation?! Ughhhh!" She pouts.
Y/N's POV:
I get off the phone with Chat and Ladybug, then I hear a ring at the door. It's Sabrina. "Oh! Sabrina! You scared me." I say startled. "Sorry...I was just waiting for you. Did you get my messages?" She asks smiling.
"Yes! Yes I did! And I was totally gonna call you." I tell her. "You were? I knew you would! Eventually. And so? I did your geography homework!" She says and hands homework to me.
"Whoa! You didn't have to do that." I say in shock.
"Well, since you're my new best friend, it's the least I can do." She says happily. "Thanks, but I just can't." I insist. "Really?" Sabrina asks looking kinda sad. "Oh, okay, but just this once." I give in and take the homework. "Great! So, you wanna work on the physics project tonight?" She asks me.
"Uhhh, I'm so sorry Sabrina, I have plans to hang out with my family tonight." I lie. " Hanging out with your family? Really? That's fascinating. Oh, you know who else uses that excuse all the time, don't you?" Sabrina starts
"Um, no?" I ask clueless
"Chloé! I'm beginning to see how similar you two are! I bet you'd expect me to do all the work like she did, right?" Sabrina fumes. "No! I don't! Really! It's just that--" I start.
Sabrina snatches the homework from my arms. "I can't believe I did your geography homework for you..." And storms off.
I am in complete and utter shock by now. And to make it better Chat and LB appear.
"Whoo-hoo! I thought I was going to have to save you from that girl's claws. Get it? Claws? Hey, I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Cat Noir and this is Ladybug" He says introduces the two of them. "Uh, yeah... I know! You guys save the day all the time and stuff...I'm Y/N! So... What are you doing here?" I ask pretending to be clueless.
"Well, that birthday boy date of yours is bad news. But don't worry. You'll be safe with us!" He says. "That puts my mind at ease." I joke and wink at LB hoping Chat didn't notice. "But we're going to need a little help. Care to assist some superheroes?" He asks me.
I turn around making faces and being dramatic. "What about Tigerlily? Aren't you a trio?" I ask.
"She's busy with something tonight, so...You get to be our Tigerlily!" LB says.
I stop and turn back around. "Me and two heroes? Fighting crime together? Amaazing! What do I do?" I ask.
"Just get that drawing pencil away from him, little lady. We'll take care of the rest." Chat says and they jump away. I can't help but laugh at how dorky he is.
Time skip:
Evillustrator's POV:
I'm hard at work preparing everything for my birthday date with Y/N. Then I hear that little voice again. "That is a lovely little scene you're setting. But I don't want you to get distracted, boy." It says. "But I just want Marinette to love me." I say.
"And I want the Miraculous. So get it! Or else." He says and starts paralyzing my hand.
"Okay, I will, I will!" I say in pain. Then Y/N arrives. "Happy birthday." She says smiling. "Y/N!" I say excitedly.
Y/N's POV:
The Evillustrator and I are taking a stroll. "Thank you for accepting my invitation." He says with thanks. "Wow, it's so beautiful." I say in awe. "You like it? Well hold on, 'cause I'm just getting started." He says.
He is about to draw something but it gets dark and cloudy. "Grr! Come on, you've gotta be kidding!" He says in anger. I flinch "Huh?". "Uhh, sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. It's just... I can't draw properly in the dark." He apologizes. 'Hmm!" I get an idea.
Evillustrator draws a owing moon over the sky. "Voila!' he says proudly.
We get on the boat and sit down. I soon notice Chat and LB. I scoot closer to him. "You're so talented! I just don't understand why you wanna use your power to hurt people." I say. "Not all people. Just Chloé. And I'm never doing that again. After all, you were true to your promise, so I'll be true to mine." He says.
Chat leaps into the boat and LB swing across trying to make as little noise as possible. "I...actually draw a little too, I'm not as good as you are, of course." I say trying to distract him. "I'm sure you're a wonderful artist." He flirts with me. "Well, can I draw you something special for your birthday?" I ask him.
He stops the music. "That would be amazing." He says excitedly and hands me the pencil. After he notices Chat and LB
"Y/N, give me my pencil back. I need to draw something, now!" He demands. "No, I'm keeping it! Chat LB Now!" I yell and Chat extends his staff LB swings her yo-yo.
"Y/N! You're working with them? I'm so stupid... I actually thought you liked me! But you're actually just like Chloé. Teasing me, mocking me, leading me on!" He yells getting agressive. "Come on! Seriously? Why is everybody comparing me to Chloé tonight?" I groan.
Evillustrator kicks Chats staff causing him to stumble into LB and he draws a transparent cube around the three of us.
"Dahh!" I yelp. "And I'm taking back my promise! Chloé's gonna get a little lesson she'll never forget!" He yells and erases a hole in the boat, making it start to sink, and he gets away. "We've been penned in! Literally!" Chat says. LB groans.
Jack sticks his head out of my bag and points to the top of the cube. I push him down. "Chat Noir, your stick! Like this!" I say and indicate placing the stick against the ceiling of the cube. "And extend it!" I say.
'Great thinking!" LB and Chat say at the same time. "Yeah...I'm a genius." I say. Then Chat extends his staff and grabs my waist tightly and grabs LB and lifts us out.
" We gotta go. A superhero's work is never done." LB says. Chat starts counting on fingers listing all the things he does. "Damsels in distress, ladies in waiting... I've got a lot more saving to do. You can thank me later." He says and leaves. I turn to LB before she leaves. "Me? Thank him? Please! He should be thanking me. We'd still be trapped if I hadn't told him how to do his "job."." I tell her. She smirks and laughs. "I'll meet you there Y/N!" She says and swings away.
"Speaking of which..." Jack says.
"They're gonna need our help saving Chloé." I gag trying to speak.
Evillustrator's POV:
I have arrived at the hotel and I'm spying on Chloé from the roof. Oh I can't wait to get my hands on her!
"Boo-hoo-hoo! I'm so sorry, miss, but after what happened at the library, I simply couldn't work on my project! It would've been too...dramatic! Just look what it's done to my...my...hair!" Chloé fake cries, then continues. "Oh, please. Who's going to believe that?! Even a stupid hairdryer couldn't make me look bad." She says.
I jump down from the roof. I walk to her door, and bang on it.
"Uh? Chat Noir? Is that you?" Chloé asks. I bust through the door and all the dust shadows me.
Once chloé realizes its me she runs away and hides somewhere.
Y/N's POV:
I make it to the hotel and hide making sure that I can't be seen, but I can see what's happening in there.
"Ahhhh!" Chloé screams and hides under her bed. "Chloé, where are you? Are you hiding? That is so cute. You're playing hide-and-seek. In the closet?!" Evillustrator shouts and starts to erase Chloé's closet. Soon he erases the bed she is under.
"Ahhhh!" Chloé yells and tries to run. "I win, Chloé! I found you!" The Evillustrator says to her. "Ah! My Chanel dresses! My Todelan heels! You're... you're a monster!" Chloé cries over her clothes.
"You like to walk all over other people. But you don't like it when others trample on you! Do you, Chloé? Do you?!" He asks being very aggressive. Then be draws a very large heeled shoe and sends it after Chloé.
"Ahhhhhh!" Chloé screeches.
I sigh and jump through the hole in the ceiling. I run towards the shoes and I break the heel making the shoe disappear. "Huh?" Chloé asks and stops running. "Grr!" The Evillustrator growls. "Oops! Broke your heel! Better watch your ankles." I snarl.
Then Chat and LB come through the hole as well, Chat turns to me. "Well, well, look what the cat dragged in." He says and winks. "No cat dragged me anywhere, Love. I flew in all on my own." I respond. "So what was this secret mission?" He asks wiggling his eyebrows.
"If she told you, it wouldn't be a secret. Now would it?" LB says.
"In the comics, this is what's known as the final showdown. The thing is, if you knew her, you wouldn't be breaking a sweat to save her skin! She's the real baddie!" Evillustrator interrupts us and yells at Chloé.
"Oh! It's not true! Everybody adores me!" Chloé says. I shake my head and sigh.
The Evillustrator draws four boxing gloves and fires them at each of us in the room. "Look out!" Chat says to me, but ends up getting hit by one himself.
Ladybug dodges a boxing glove, and then disintegrates another one with her yo-yo, saving Chloé. I pull out my infini-bow and grab a lazer arrow, I draw back the string and fire. All I hear is crackling and the boxing glove disintegrates. The Evillustrator draws a glass wall to protect himself from LB and I.
Then he draws a buzzsaw, and fires it at us. I dodge it as well as LB. The buzzsaw is going towards Chloé, but Cat Noir stops it using his staff. Chat splits his staff into two and throws them at the Evillustrator. But he dodges them. One half of the stick breaks a lamp, and the Evillustrator gets angry and moves closer to another working lamp.
"The light! Chat Noir! He can't draw in the dark!" LB and I yell.
"Got it!" Chat says and looks for the light switch. "Cataclysm!" He says and uses his Cataclysm to hit the light switch, but the Evillustrator erases it, and Chat Noir breaks the wall instead.
"Here you go, kitty." Evillustrator says and draws a ball and chain. "A little ball and chain to play with." He continues. Then they appear on Chat Noir's ankle.
"Hey!" Chat yells. "Sadly, those who get in my way get erased!" Evillustrator says and erases a giant hole in the floor, and Chat Noir is about to fall into it. Ladybug and I try not to fall.
Chat's miraculous beeps Signalling he only has one paw pad left. "No, no, no, no, no!"
"Before you go, you have something I want." Evillustrator yells and reaches towards Chat.
Time skip:
"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma! Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug says and grabs the akuma with her yo-yo. "Gotcha!" She says purifies and releases the akuma. "Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" she throws the Lucky Charm into the air, its energy repairing all the damage, and turning everything back to normal. Then the Evillustrator turns back into Nathaniel.
"Huh? Where am I?" Nathaniel asks. "Pound it!" LB says and we all fist bump happily.
Back at school:
"What happened when Tigerlily Ladybug and Cat Noir arrived on the scene?" Alya asks Chloé. "Well, to be perfectly honest, they only made matters worse. They came barreling in, and started smashing things to bits, throwing plastic balls around my room!" Chloé whines. "Plastic balls?" Alya asks again. I can't help but giggle.
"I hope you had a good time last night hanging out with you're family." Sabrina says. "I'm really sorry, Sabrina. But I can meet you in the library today and finally work on the project with you." I reply. "Too late. Chloé and I are doing the project together." She says again. "You mean, you're doing the project?" I ask. "Of course! After all she's been through..." Sabrina says.
"Ughhh.... Nice new beret, by the way." I say. "I know, right! Chloé lent it to me. She really is my BFF! Chloé! Your geography homework's ready!" Sabrina says.
"Hey!" Adrien says coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist. "Hi babe!" I say and signal Jack to hide. "I heard about your adventures with Chat Noir yesterday. Were you scared?" He asks. "Pfft me scared? You joking babe?" I ask. "Okay so, what do you think about Chat Noir? Was he awesome?" Adrien asks very interested.
"Yeah, but not as awesome as you Adrien! I say and give him a kiss on the cheek. "I love you darling." He says as the bell rings. He leaves me with a kiss on the temple and walks away.
I'm about to walk away but Jack calls my name and pulls out a picture of me as Tigerlily. "Y/N I forgot to tell you this but, I found this picture before we got here." "Nathaniel must have a crush on Tigerlily now." I giggle and roll my eyes. I tuck the picture into my purse and take it with me.
*Quick author's note: I have started some courses at highschool because I need some stuff for college. So hopefully I can still find time to post chapter for you guys and get everything done. I'm really thankful for each and everyone of you. I hope you have a wonderful night, stay safe Stacey 😘*
