...

She moved away and her left eye twitched, "What the hell did you do to yourself Ellora?!!"

"Ellora..?" Ladybug repeated.
"I think she just revealed your identity.."
"I'm pretty sure that isn't my name... Rey are you okay?"
"I-it's okay Ladybug. You can trust me, I won't tell anyone" Chat said, shifting a bit more towards Ladybug.

"Rey? Who's tha- WHAT THE HELL?!! Eww this costume is Cliché, absolutely Cliché! *gasp* I don't have my powers! GALAXIA! GIVE ME BACK THOSE POWERS YOU STUPID SPIRIT!"

"Uhh... this is weird..." Chat whispered. The fox-superheroine -who-wasn't-herself's eyes travelled over to the Cat superhero.
"Leo?! What are you even doing here?!" The-Reynard-Orange-who-was-not-being-Reynard-Orange asked.
"Okay Ladybug I definitely believe you cause that's definitely not my name... Lil Lady you okay?"

"Stop calling me that you mangy betrayer!"
"Uh..." The duo stared at her.

"Of course! I'm in the future! Now I can fix everything! My reign shall continue! Shapeshifta!" Reynard, or whatever-her-name-is said. Nothing happened, "Argghh! Give me my powers! Give me that useless kwami! GIVE ME BACK MY CROWN!!" She yelled in frustration.
Chat's ring beeped, "what now Ladybug?"
"I'll take care of her, you can go"

"But-"
"NO BUTS! JUST GO STRAIGHT HOME!"

Chat sighed. 'I should really go back home. Should i go over to Marinette's? Of course I should! But first i should detransform and-'
A Voice in his mind interrupted his thoughts, 'Give me my cheeessseeee!!!!!'
'Shut up Plagg! All you think about is cheese!'
'And all you think about is four girls!'
But even Plagg thought, "Which is basically two"

Chat rolled his eyes internally and looked at Reynard in concern, who returned the look with disgust. 'This isn't her, it's not her at all'

He leaped away. Ladybug saw him leave, knowing he'd de-transform and head to the bakery to meet her. "What should I do?" she asked herself.
"I may have the solution... uh, whatever your name is Polka dotty. Give me your miraculous!" The I-don't-know-who answered, pouncing up on her (I do know who it is but ya know I love leaving you guys like that! XD)

"And now, you sound like an akuma" Ladybug said, moving aside and catching her, making sure this weird person didn't hurt Clare's body. "What is this hakuna matata anyways?" (Oblivio vibes... )

"I've got very less time left, Chat would come to the bakery any minute. I should take her back first" Ladybug thought. She tied her prisoner with the help of her yoyo and jumped through the rooftops, dragging the-not-so-Reynard-Reynard.
"STOP! I'M TELLING YOU TO STOP YOU NEWLY-MADE ELLORA OR WHATEVER YOUR CLICHÉ NAME IS!"
"Urgh, you're annoying now." Ladybug said, pulling her yoyo towards her, they were basically playing the Tug of War now, the not-so-Reynard-Reynard trying to free herself from Ladybug's grasp, she wiggled and pushed but the yoyo wasn't breaking (which is impawsible sweetie..)

"Urghh! LET ME GO!"
"I already said No! What's the matter with you?!"

"Nothing Dearie, just the thing is YOU are trapping a FREE BIRD"
"You're extremely annoying"

Ladybug managed to 'DRAG' her to the bakery, Bridgette was waiting for them. "Hey Mari, Clare! You ba- What the- What are you doing to Clare?!"
"She ISN'T Clare!"
Bridgette looked abSOLUTEly puzzled (Leaving you some hints... CATch it if you can!). "I don't get it. Obviously, she's Clare, i can see that, I'm not blind"

"JUST.LET.ME.GO!" The not-so-Reynard-Reynard said.
"Mari just leave her!"
"Nope, not happening Bri" Ladybug said. She took of the girl's miraculous. She turned back into Clare, except...
"What the?!"Ladybug asked, confused.

The tips of her hair had started turning red and all of a sudden her face started getting freckles. "Ah good, I'm coming back to this cliché world. I'll make it modern like it was!" she said as her hair got out from that high ponytail on their own and got converted into a braid.

Blackhole came out to see what was the matter and when he saw the-not-so-Clare-Clare, his eyes widened. He couldn't help but think about one thing, 'Oh no this is bad... If Eleanor returns then this will all be a failure. We had to do this all over again just because of her. Think, come on, Starrax told you something'. He started moving around in circles trying to remember. That's when it hit him.

He hurried over to Ladybug who was now tying the girl to a chair. She quickly de-transformed when she heard a small thump at the balcony. Chat was back. She quickly pushed the girl inside Clare's room. Half her hair were red now. Her eyes were turning green.

This was his chance, he quickly typed something on the keyboard and went over to the girl, bowing down. "Pleasure, madame Eleanor. I request you to read this" He said, looking up towards the computer. Good thing Clare left him with the translator on. Luna & Coco had no idea what their big brother was up to, but one thing was very sure, he knew whatever he was doing. They trusted him and just sat there on the next floor, looking down Clare's bed towards the not-so-Clare-Clare, blackhole, and the laptop.

"Ew, get away! I hate cats!" She said. "I promise I'll go away if you read this madame" he said.
The girl didn't think and start reading it out loud.

*meanwhile next door*

"Hello Purrincess" He said grabbing her hand. She pulled it away. "I have no time for this" she said.

That was... rude. Something was up, so he asked. "Princess? Where's Clare?"
"D-Doesn't matter" she said, still browsing her system for solutions. He was confused. He came closer and hugged her, "What's the matter?"

"Get away! I don't have time for this!" she said even if she didn't want to at all. Chat pulled away, "I guess you're in a bad mood today... I'll come tomorrow. G-Goodnight Marinette"

*Back to Blackhole*

"I put my grandma on speed dial I called it Insta-gram, That musician has a problem he's a trebled man, A fish swam into a wall and said DAM! Cause Puns are just like paper they're tear-ible. Urgh, make them stop they're unBEARable, let's get down to buisness to defeat the puns!" (I.Love.This! Lines furom my very new outside the fandom fav song, link to it https://youtu.be/LtqBt3RbZfs )

As soon as she finished, she realized what was happening, "YOU ARE SH-" and in the middle of her sentence, Clare came back to normal. "What the meow?! Why am I tied to this chair?! What's this..." she said, looking at the piece of paper.
"Ah! The Pun song! My outside-miraculous fav! But still, the hell happened to me?"

Blackhole sighed with relief. Their plan was going smooth. Eleanor could've caused a lot of problems for sure. That's when Marinette barged inside, talking to herself. She seemed to be pretty upset. "Why did I even say that to him? What do I do about Clare?" she said, coming in.

"What about me? And what did you even say to whom?" Clare asked, confused.
"Clare? Is that you?"
"Yeah, obviously its me! Who else could it possibly be? Now answer my questions. What is wrong?"

"That means I said that to him for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?!" She yelled at her.
"What do you mean?" Clare asked, still confused.

"Urgh, I don't even wanna talk about it! I have no idea why but I yelled at Chat because I was worried about YOU and turned out YOU were alright and I hurt HIM because of YOU!" Marinette yelled.

"What do you even mean?! I can't understand ONE SINGLE THING! Why the hell are you shouting at me?! I don't even remember anything! ET PLUS, You hurt him ALL THE TIME by making him feel replaced and at the end you blame it all on me?!!" Clare shouted back, she felt anger rise in her. No idea why.

"Urgh, You! HOW DARE YOU EVEN SAY THAT?! I LO-" Marinette was cut off. "GIRLS! CALM DOWN!" Bridgette yelled in between.
"I don't even wanna talk to you anymore" Clare said, slamming the door close.
"Right! Neither do I" Marinette said, going up on the balcony. Bridgette looked at them both. She was waiting for them to tell them about something important. Now, what was she supposed to do? She can't just leave back to London leaving these two stubborn teenagers alone in the middle of a god-knows-why fight.

She looked at Clare's room, then up at the skylight from where Marinette had gone. She sighed, "What am I even supposed to do?"
She pursed her lips and went away, back to her room.

Clare talked to Blackhole, Luna & Coco, letting it all out. Marinette talked to Tikki, who seemed to be knowing what was up. "Tikki? Do you know what's happening?"
"Maybe or maybe not. We kwamis are supposed to keep some secrets and wait until the time comes, remember?" She answered.
"Hmm" Marinette hummed. She remembered what she had just said to Chat and what Clare had said. She felt, normal now? 'I'm getting harder to understand.. What's wrong with me?' she thought.

"Earth to Marinette!" She heard her own voice say. Nah, it was actually Bridgette. Obviously she had the same voice, they were twins after all. "Well, you feel okay, Mari?" she asked, sitting beside her.
"yeah, I guess" she replied looking at her.
"Well you see... I-I have to go back... tomorrow..." she said, looking down.

"What?! B-But you just came! How can you go back so early?!"
"Mari, I have schoo-"
"I've missed you so much and now you stay for 2 days and leave?! School's more important to you than me? Don't you love me?" Marinette asked, making the saddest kitten eyes.

"Stop blackmailing me Marinette!" Bridgette nudged her. The two sisters burst out laughing.
Soon they stopped. "I-I gotta go now, I have to tell Clare too..."
"What's the hurry? She's our step after all, spend some time with your real sister too!" Marinette said, not even realizing what she said.

Clare was listening to all this. ALL of it, including what Mari just said. Not because she was getting sneaky, but because she was sitting on her bed, reading Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets all over again. Her bed was right beside the door to the balcony And how unfortunate she was to listen to this.

She wanted to die. What was the difference between staying here and at the orphanage if no one was actually ready to accept you as one of your kind? Why did she even come here? To be called a step? To be rejected all over again? No, of course not. How could she think that Marinette could actually consider her her real sister?

She walked over to her laptop, wow, she hadn't opened it since morning. Too bad. She switched it on. 'I'll start off from where I left. It's switched off, pfft, who am I kidding, it must've gone to that deep sleep or whatever you call it where it kinda shuts down but all the files and work are still op- WAIT A SECOND. How is my folder closed...?'

She gasped when realization struck her. Someone messed with her laptop. The EXACT same laptop with the identities of LB & CN. The exact same laptop with all the episodes. THE EXACT SAME LAPTOP WITH ALL OF ML'S SECRETS! She messed up big time. "Oh no! What have I done! Im such an idiot!" she said. She started banging her head on the table. "I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. Oww, I should really stop" she kept on saying until her head hurt. she rubbed the place only to see blood, "Oof, who am I kidding. My head is obviously already hurt and I just banged it. Amazing. Job well done Clare, keep it up" she said. She went over to Marinette's room where she left the First aid box.

"Why are you even here?" Marinette asked, not looking at her.
"None of your business, you don't even care" she said, remembering those hurtful words.
"Obviously I don't care" she replied back. Clare took the first aid box, she looked towards the end of the table. Marinette sat there, and then her eyes trembled over to something that shattered her. In the dustbin, there lay that embraided scarf she designed for her birthday, a cat embraided scarf. She held up her tears and quickly left with the box.

She came back and put it aside. She felt terrible, obviously. How could she think she could make a good sister? She couldn't even merge in, and now one of the role models, one of her idol whom she worshipped hated her. She hated her so much that she even threw away the birthday gift she made her! And probably the other idol of hers hated her too. She closed her eyes and started crying. The cats came closer to her and snuggled in, trying to make her feel better. "I am the worst being alive, I didn't die because god doesn't even want to handle me, if I were good I would already be dea-"

"Clare! Don't say like that!" She heard Marinette's voice. 'Definitely Bridgette, Mari hates me..' she thought, and obviously she was correct. She once thought Bridgette was the only one who hated her. Turned out it was the other way round now, she was the only one who loved her now. Bridgette quickly treated the wound and told her about her departure. "Wha- but you can't just leave me alone here Bri! No one except you loves me anymore!" She said, clarely hurt. (I shouldn't really mewke puns rn...)

Bridgette hugged her. "It'll be okay. Trust me"

The next afternoon, they all bid Bridgette a good bye. Clare was almost crying. And now, Marinette wasn't even here to comfort her, she just gave her 'seriously? Crying for absolutely no reason?' looks and for a second Clare thought she was Chloe's sister. Blackhole, Luna & Coco kept her in control, otherwise she would've burst out by now. Bridgette hugged Her parents, her sister and at last, she came to her step sister. She hugged her for the longest time. Clare needed that. She was so sad, you couldn't even imagine. Tom & Sabine were always busy with the bakery. Her only other source of 'human' love was Marinette, but she hated her now, probably. Alya couldn't always be there for her, Chat would probably avoid Reynard too now, and Adrien? Well, he was always busy with photoshoots. She had no one whom she could call hers. No one except Bridgette. And now, she was going to leave her too.

"It'll be okay Clare, trust me. Just video call me if you want to talk, I'll always be there for you" she said, "Everything will be fine."

But no, obviously not. Nothing was fine. Nothing will be fine. Because what was coming, was unknown to all. Except 3 certain beings... and lemme confirm, they're not cats...

...

*sigh* not much to say, this was the least amount of sadness in this chapter. Yep, the least.

Lemme just describe the structure of the bakery now. Real Quick.

The living room and stuff are the same. The floor above the living room is an empty space which has 2 doors. But now, they're three cause there was one secret one too. When we open any of those three doors, there's a small space and a ladder. From the ladder, we reach the trapdoor to the purrson's room.

That's it fur now, I won't ruin the mood with sarcasm or humour today.

I'll try to update soon, Until next time!
Adios!
