Don't mind me, I'll bee breaking MariChat apurrt. Sentibubbler Spoilers so watchout!
...

Clare was sitting in her room, really upset. 
"Come on Clare, why are you so down today?" Blackhole mewed and tilted his head.
She scratched his head, "Nothing, just a bit upset that Bridgette's gone..."
Luna jumped up on her and she hugged her. "I'll eat up that sad!" Luna said. Coco hopped in too and Clare giggled. 

That's when Alya came. "Hey Girl! What's with Marinette?" she asked, looking at Clare. 
"What's with Marinette? You should ask what's she done with me" Clare said. 

Alya was absolutely confused. She recalled what Marinette had said. 

She had seen Clare eat croissants with the most 'lost' look. That look of delight which was always on her face wasn't there today. She had asked Marinette, "What's with Clare?"

"What's with Clare? You should ask about how she talked to me"

Now she was even more puzzled. Only one person may know about this, but the thing is, that person has gone back to London. "I-I'll be right back" Alya said, going back downstairs.

"Wow, so even she's avoiding me? Great" Clare said. She tried to divert herself and started trying to catch the person who messed with her laptop. Blackhole couldn't help but think, 'She's gonna be so sad that Bridgette believed her because she checked her laptop... '

Clare tried tracking down fingerprints... nope. There was some fur, and millions of fingerprints. Obviously, she had been working on it all the day two days ago. 'And now, I may as well be known for betraying the Saviors of Paris. Amazing Job Clare, Just. AMAZING.'

She just couldn't take it anymore. Marinette hated her, she was careless and now someone may know Ladybug and Chat Noir's identities. She didn't even realize someone came to her room.
She sighed and got her guitar. She climbed up on her bed and supported her back on the wall. She started strumming a song that calmed her down... always... 
'In the rain... The ultimate Adrienette Umbrella Scene'

https://youtu.be/auO8vbnFS_U

This didn't help at all, why? Because the umbrella scene had Marinette. And all she could remember now were those words, '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!' 'What's the hurry? She's our step after all, spend some time with your real sister too!' 'Obviously I don't care', That scarf in her dustbin... Everything. 

She just sat there thinking, and within no time, she was asleep. Her head supported on the guitar, her back on the wall. Luna & Coco had fallen asleep listening to her play. Blackhole went over to Clare and mewed, "Just for some more time Clare, then you'll be gone... A-"

Before he could complete, Alya came inside and cut him off, "Clare! You coming with me?" 
Clare shot up, almost knocking off her Guitar, "Huh? Yeah" she said. She didn't even know what she just agreed for and before she could ask what, Alya went away. "What was that about?" Clare asked looking at Blackhole.
"You have to go to her house now"

Clare sighed, "She's gonna take Mari along won't she..." she frowned and washed her face. She quickly combed her hair and went over to the entrance of the Bakery. "Take care girls okay?" Sabine said. "Yes Maman" Marinette said. Clare simply nodded. They both didn't even look at each other.

Sabine knew something was wrong but preferred to be quite. They'll sort it out soon, that was obvious... at least for her. Cause this wasn't just something you'd call 'normal'. 

The three walked over to Alya's, Marinette and Clare not even looking at each other. Alya felt awkward. "Girls? What's the matter...?" she asked and when she did, she regretted it. They both were on either side of her and they both started yelling at each other at once. It literally felt like they were speaking through a megaphone.

"IT WAS ALL HER FAULT!" Marinette Yelled.
"NO! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HECK IS THE MATTER WITH HER BRAIN! SHE'S THE ONE WHO SHOUTED AT HIM AND GAVE THE BLAME TO ME! AND NO ONE'S EVEN FREAKIN READY TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY!" Clare yelled back.
"IT WAS JUST YOU! AND YOU WERE DEFINITELY PRETENDING WEREN'T YOU?! ALL BECAUSE OF YOU I HURT HIM! WHO DO YOU EVEN THINK YOU ARE?!!"
"SHUT.UP! YOU'RE BLAMING ME FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! I CAN'T POSSIBLY BE ACTING IF I WAS NO IDEA ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED!! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME TO BE YOUR SISTER! BRIDGETTE IS A LOT MUCH BETTER OF A SISTER THAN YOU ARE!" 

"BRIDGETTE IS .MY. SISTER!! YOU'RE JUST A STEP SO BEHAVE LIKE ONE!"

"..." Clare stopped. Alya stared at Marinette and then at Clare, then Mari, then Clare and this kept going on until Clare spoke up, "I don't even wanna see you..." and with tears in her eyes, she ran away.

Luna, Coco and Blackhole ran after her. Alya ran to her too, "Clare wait!" 
She didn't stop, why would she? No one loves her after all. 

She transformed and jumped across the roofs, crying. "Little Lady?" 
This voice stopped her. She quickly wiped away the tears and did what she always does. 
"Hiya Kitty! Wassup?" she asked, the coolest way she could, her fake smile trying to be as convincing as possible.

"I know you were crying Reynard. You don't have to hide that, what's the matter?"
"Nothing you should be concerned about, just leave already" she said, jumping away again. But Chat was obviously faster, he caught up with her, "I consider you my sister don't I? You can open up to me, and i want you to... please" 

"No Chat just leave me alone, please" she said. And the next moment she stopped. And by the time Chat would slow down and stop too, she was gone. Nope. Nowhere to be seen. She was the sneaky, sly fox after all.

Chat sighed. He started jumping away and found Clare and Alya. Something was up... for sure. And neither of them was ready to tell him what it was. Now, Chat was very cross with Clare & Marinette. They're hiding something and they probably don't trust him enough is what he thought.

They all sat in Alya's room. Alya and Bridgette-on-the-video-call trying to sort out this motiveless-fight. Nino was now with Adrien, and they were discussing something... But thats not important at the moment.

"Come on you guys!" Alya said, absolutely annoyed.
"I seriously don't get this Why are you guys even fi-"
And that's when they heard yells of help. The next moment, Alya went outside only to see, the bubbler...

"I am SentiBubbler. ShadowMoth suspects you are someone special to Ladybug now Alya Cesaire (Sorry fur that accent...). Join Shadowmoth, or see all your friends and family be launched into space!" SentiBubbler said, laughing the most ShadowMoth style laugh cause obviously cause he was being controlled by The Flippy-Flappy himself. 

She looked outside only to see Marinette & Clare trapped in a bubble. TOGETHER. Okay, this was a disaster... For sure. She had only two options, Join Shadowmoth or working out a plan alone. Why alone when Bridgette was on the vc? Because SB (Too lazy to type, sry! Plus, I love short furms... okay now back to the story) had trapped her tablet in a bubble too.

She asked to go to the toilet and managed to hide and transform. She made an illusion of LB & Reynard. Clare & Marinette saw Chat jumping over to Alya's place. Marinette said, "He'll ruin the plan!"
She quickly started swimming in the air inside the bubble only to reach Chat. "Chat don't! Its an Illusion!" she said.
"M-Marinette? How are you so sure?" he asked.
"Uh... because... I- I HAVE THE FRONT SEAT! YES!" she said.
"I'll still have to go help Reynards and Rena-"
"NO! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PART OF EVERY SINGLE AKUMA! LEAVE THIS TO THEM, THEY DON'T NEED YOU!"

Chat looked at her. Full of sadness. That's when Clare started making the bubble swim away. Marinette tried to stop her but she didn't. Once they were far enough, Clare shouted at her. "YOU BROKE HIM! WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU SAY THAT?!"

"BECAUSE I AM THE GUARDIAN! I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY AND DO WHAT I WANT!"
"AND NOW YOU'RE JUST BEING SELFISH!"
"SHUT.UP!" Marinette yelled at her.
"AND YOU STOP TORTURING PEOPLE FOR NO REASON AT ALL!"
"THIS ALL STARTED BECAUSE OF YOU!"
"NO YOU!"
"N-"

They were interrupted by a call from Rena Rouge. "I'm going to make the bubble an illusion, you both are going to escape then, okay?"
Marinette hummed.

Reynard then stopped Chat who was speeding over to her, by telling him it was a 'Three-people plan, and that's Reynard, Rena & Ladybug'

"A three people plan?! Well if it is, then it is gonna be two and that'll be ME and LADYBUG!" He said in frustration. What he had recently gotten to know, before the akuma, broke him. And now that Rena said that it's LB's plan, it broke him even more.

Ladybug transformed once Rena used her mirage. "You coming?" she asked, not even looking towards Clare. "No thank you, I'd rather be stuck her forever than see you make the poor cat suffer" 
"Your wish, I don't care" she said, she quickly transformed into Pegabug.

They defeated the akuma, Rena & Pegabug. 

Clare dearly wanted to pay Adrien a visit. He probably needed her. But that was gonna be a disaster, an absolute catastrophe... Anyways, that's something we'll focus on Later.

Now is the time to tell what Adrien and Nino were talking about. Before the akuma, Nino had asked Adrien to come over for a while. 
"Dude, Alya's hiding something from me. She always disappears during akumas..." Nino said. And that's exactly when Adrien's blindness spoke up, "Does that mean she's Ladybug?!"

"No! It's just... it's just that... Alya... She's Rena Rouge. I saw her talk to Trixx, her kwami, today and it seems like she's been given that Miraculous permanently. Now you'd ask me how I know about kwamis... actually... I-I'm Carapace."
"W-What? L-Ladybug would be so mad when she figures out you both know each other's identities!"
"She gave us the miraculouses together, she was the one who let us have a reveal.."
And That's when Adrien shattered.

"And now, I think Alya knows... Who Ladybug is." And this one sentence was enough to break his soul apart.

Now we come back to the present. 

Reynard Orange quickly jumped up on Adrien's window sill. She already had a broken relationship with Marinette aka Ladybug. Slightly Broken with Alya Cesaire aka Rena Rouge. Only Chat was there for her now. But...

"Adrien? I-it's me, Reynard" 
"Go away I don't even wanna talk to you, replacer" he simply answered, still on his computer. He wasn't even looking.

"Chat I-"
"Just please leave. I don't want to talk to either of you. Especially not you. You may as well take my miraculous. You guys are good enough on your own, you don't need Chat Noir. He can be replaced and he already is, you know"
"Chat but-"
"I SAID GO AWAY! TAKE THAT MIRACULOUS AWAY! I NEVER WANT TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN! FOR ONCE I THOUGHT I FOUND SOMEBODY WHO COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD ME! BUT OBVIOUSLY, THIS WORLD IS CRUEL, YOU JUST CAME TO ME TO PROVE LADYBUG THAT YOU'RE MORE WORTHY! GO AHEAD AND BE THE NEXT CHAT NOIR, I DON'T WANT TO BE HIM ANYMORE, AT LEAST NOT WHEN YOU ARE AFTER MY POSITION, RENA I SEEKING ATTENTION AND LADYBUG DOESN'T TRUST ME!"

Reynard looked at him, why so much pain for her? Why? She couldn't help it anymore. We can't stay strong at all time you know. She started crying. She fell to her knees and Adrien turned around on hearing the thump. 

"All my life I've been idolizing you. I wanted to meet you guys so that I could help... but i guess, my rival was right for once. I'm nothing but Bad Luck... I tore all of you apart. I wasn't even there to fight, during the akuma. I- it was just an illusion. But please just keep that ring, I-I still want you to be Chat Noir. You were t-the best Chat Noi-"
"STOP WITH YOUR DRAMA REYNARD! YOU'RE A COMPLETELY SAVAGE CUNNING FOX! TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERYONE! INCLUDING ME! I TRUSTED YOU, DO YOU REALIXE THAT?!!"

"I.AM.NOT.ACTING! WHY DO YOU ALL NOT BELIEVE ME?!!"
"BECAUSE YOU'RE NO LESS THAN LILA! TELLING LIES ALL ALONG! I SAW REYNARD ORANGE SITTING ON THE ROOF WHEN PEGABUG DEFEATED SENTIBUBBLER! I HATE YOU REYNARD! YOU'RE PATHETIC! NEVER SHOW ME YOUR FACE AGAIN!"

'It must be an an illusion... Alya most definitely forgot to make it vanish...' she thought. "Just keep the ring and Plagg" she said.
"And why in the whole wide world do you think I'd do THAT?!" He asked.
"BECAUSE OF MARINETTE!" She said, "YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME ANYMORE BUT AT LEAST KEEP IT FOR HER!"

She had a point, Adrien kept it. "I'LL TRY TO NEVER SHOW YOU M-MY FACE. N-N-NEVER A-A-AGAIN..." She yelled, she quickly wiped her tears and jumped away. She had just lost the last person that believed her. Life hated her, didn't it... but, we can't exactly say that. She didn't know tomorrow was her Goodbye... 

She sat on a Roof, Crying. Her head hurt, the Eiffel Tower, she was facing it. And this time, she didn't want the flashes to stop. How she wished she could die that moment. Her head was bleeding and a whole river was now flowing. A river of blood and tears.

She started feeling dizzy, because of both blood loss and flashes. And that's when she heard the voice again... and she dared not question...

'It's about time Clare... You will fall. Wishes come true, but yours won't. Your history repeats, but you don't. Tomorrow...'

And that's where it all stopped. For the first time, she fought it. alone. 

"w-what was that s-supposed to m-mean? *sigh* No need... tomorrow... I don't really have anything to lose. The cats can move on. No one loves me. No one wants me here. No one..." 

And the rest of the night, Reynard sat on the roof, looking over Paris, crying. No one came for her. Why? Because she was alone in this cruel world. Thats when Bunnix jumped over and sat beside her. She covered her wound. Oh how Clare had forgotten. She still had one person. She hugged Alix and she hugged her back. "Tomorrow..." Bunnix said, as she closed her eyes. 

She immediately pushed her away and said, "The time line would change and divert if I come close, Im sorry"
And there went away all of Clare's leftover happiness. Cause this was life, it always hurt. Specially for her. No love, no care, nothing at all. She cried all night. Pain in her eyes. With no one as a shoulder to cry on... No one...

The words echoed in her mind, ' BRIDGETTE IS .MY. SISTER!! YOU'RE JUST A STEP SO BEHAVE LIKE ONE!' 'BECAUSE YOU'RE NO LESS THAN LILA! TELLING LIES ALL ALONG! I SAW REYNARD ORANGE SITTING ON THE ROOF WHEN PEGABUG DEFEATED SENTIBUBBLER! I HATE YOU REYNARD! YOU'RE PATHETIC! NEVER SHOW ME YOUR FACE AGAIN!' 'It's about time Clare... You will fall. Wishes come true, but yours won't. Your history repeats, but you don't. Tomorrow...' 'The time line would change and divert if I come close, Im sorry'
She slept right there, on the roof, crying. All alone, no love, no tenderness. Nothing.

This was the city of love, with a protector, unloved.

12 relationships broken, 8 overcome, 1 will be lost. 
The whole tragedy, this is all it is about.

...

That last two riddles.. one by the voice, and one at the end, they're for you all. Try to figure this out if you can. The tragedy... you'll decipher it all. 

I guess my mystery author awoke.

Until Next time guys!

Adios!
