Prologue: How to gain connections

One second you were relaxing on your phone peacefully reading and the next you were opening your eyes as if you had been sleeping for days.

“W-wha…? Where am I?”

Memories flooded your brain becoming vivid and unforgettable. This is Lila Rossi’s bedroom. You rush over to a mirror and find a 5 year old Lila Rossi staring back at you.

You have gained the title : skill acquirer

The screen was always to your right, and while you wanted to find out we’re the daily task was doing that in front of your mom would be suspicious.

“Mama, I wanna become a child model.”

Weird huh, why would you become a model? Influence for in the future, you would be moving to Paris a place filled with monsters, so the more connections the better. As a model you could also meet Adrien and Chloe when their hearts had yet to close off.

“Lila… you’ve never practiced modeling, what if you embarrass yourself?”

Your tears sure did flow “Just once… you didn’t get me anything for my birthday and if I have no talent I’ll never ask again.”

After a few minutes of your tears and begging your mom, she conceded. I mean to make you a child model wouldn’t be hard, she’s works at an embassy! The two of you are currently in Italy so she has even more sway.

Your mother grabbed her phone and started to call someone she knew as you looked yourself over. You looked cute in your own opinion. Your skill must also have effect on the outfits you choose.

Your mother got off the phone and told you you had to do an interview of sorts, you would model a piece with only the owner of the company watching.

You didn’t even bother to ask which, you don’t know if that is to your advantage or disadvantage.

“Okay mamma, I’ll go put on my shoes!”

You wore a white top with grapes on it and a purple skirt that matches. To add to it you wore a purple beret and white shoes.

You grabbed your mother’s hand and closed your eyes.

‘Soon enough, I’ll gain what I need to stay safe… and maybe change canon, I don’t think I can stop Gabriel or save Emily, since it’s not certain what caused her comatose state I can’t simply take the miraculous away… it might even already be too late.’

You continued to think about what you wanted to stop, Marinette stalking Adrien and Chloe’s adoration of her toxic mom were just the crème of the crops.

There was so much more you wished to do, but what you wished to do the most was become a superhero like ladybug and chat noir.

“Lila darling, we’re here.”

You opened your eyes and smiled towards your mother.

“Okay mamma, where should we go?”

You stepped out of the car as you spoke and watched your mother as she led you.

You walked past security and through multiple restricted area doors until you ended up in a changing room.

“Hello there little girl.”

Before you appeared a blonde haired woman who spoke English to you. You let go of your mother and smiled towards the pretty lady.

“Hello miss, my name is Lila Rossi.”

“Your English is much better than I expected. Either way my name is Audrey! Your mother called in a favor she had and so we are now here, you’ll be modeling one of my newest creations!”

Your mouth had twitched slightly when you heard her name but calmed down and listened to her instructions.

Seated, standing and walking you looked just like how Audrey wanted.

“Amazing! Ah, if only you were my daughter! Unlike Zoé you have some talent!”

You smiled and thanked Audrey but thought one thing ‘Damn, I really forget about Zoé’s existence there!’

“D-do you think I have a talent for modeling?”

“Of course you do! I didn’t take a single bad picture! In fact I think even Gabriel would like you! Ah! I can go see Gabriel and make money! Wanna come with me to Paris?”

You turned towards your mother, saying yes was a good idea to gain influence, but you are a minor.

Your mother looked between the two of you, both far too excited. Before your mother could even say anything Audrey pulled out 200 euro’s.

“Normally you only get paid per hour, but this was just a trial period so I can just pay whatever, in fact I’ll pay you even more if you accept miss Rossi!”

Your mother sighed but still conceded.

!!Congratulation!!
You have gained the title : Child Model

“I can travel whenever as long as I’m with you?” Audrey nodded while smiling confidently.

“Of course! I can even write it off my taxes as a job expense!”

“Wow the use of having influence!”

Audrey laughed loudly again at the reaction she received

“That’s right this is the power of influence”

Chapter Text

Audrey is your first ever connection!
You’ve been grinning about it as she buys you everything you need, like products needed to keep your cutsy image perfect.

Due to this you’ve been spending a lot of time in her vacation home here in Italy, her daughter Zoé is also here, for whatever reason. So you’ve been spending your time improving your skills to gain a title called genius.

Title
Genius
* Everything in life has been easy for you since you were young
(How to obtain brings all your skills to medium or high with little effort)

The little effort is the hardest part due to your daily tasks, you only have to do one per day but they all come down to the same thing

Daily task 1 :
Improve one physical skill per day

Daily task 2 :
Improve one mental skill per day

Daily task 3 :
Improve one intelligence skill per day

Daily task 4 :
Improve a skill that has to do with your appearance per day

You have mostly been doing the first by jogging

Skill : walking
Level: medium 50/100%

Through this your sports education is finally at medium level just like all your. Other school subjects.

You had finally finished your jog and watched all your daily tasks but the one you finished turn grey. That one became green.

Daily task 4: ✅

While you didn’t know it at the time it ment you couldn’t do those anymore since you had done them ten times in a row.

You opened the door to Audrey’s house and saw Zoé sitting on the couch, she spotted you and smiled and immediately departed towards her room. It wasn’t that she hated me, she must have just not wanted to aggravate her mother by being in my presence.

As if it was clockwork, Audrey immediately appeared at the top of the stairs.

“Lila! I’ve gotten your mother’s permission! We’ll be going to France! And you’ll be in an advertisement with Adrien Agreste, arent you excited?!”

You nodded with a smile, Adrien would high likely be professional during the photo’s, but afterwards I’ll befriend him and Chloe, after all she is desperate for her mother’s love I’ll use that to make Chloe wish to befriend me.

🛫•••☁️•••🛬

While you knew that Audrey was dramatic, you didn’t expect for her fame to already be this strong in Paris. Currently she is just known as the fashion princess.

So by walking beside her you will be seen as her successor in the fashion industry.

Cameras were flashing and you did the same smile you practiced over and over, wide but not so wide it looks strained, but also not small it looks shy. A smile that gives of confidence and kindness all at the same time.

‘Audrey’s… should I call him her boyfriend, I’ll call him her boyfriend,’ greeted the two of you with a smile. Audrey smiled but it did not reach her eyes as she looked at Chloe.

“Clara you look like maman! Good job!”

“Thank you mother! Who is that girl beside you?”

“It’s nice to meet you Clara, my name is Lila Rossi! Teacher brought me along to model just like always, I’ll have to bother you and your father with accommodating me and teacher.”

“There is no need for that Lila, we will be in my fashion house instead of that hotel, bye now Courtney, bye Anthony.”

Chloe’s face was the epitome of sad. Even so you simply waved in her direction and followed Audrey. The two of you entered an expensive looking car and sat in the back of it.

“This might be a rude question Audrey, but why will you not be living with Clara and her father… or was it Courtney.”

“Because it’s a bother, and her name isn’t important all I know is that it has a k sound and she has never corrected me so she must not care either way.”

“I see.. wait! Then is Gabriel Agreste really called Gabriel Agreste and are the rest of his immediate family their name correct?”

“They are, like I could ever forget Gabriel’s name or the name of anyone he loves, oh and you of course, since you are special!”

You didn’t feel like pondering it anymore as you had arrived at Agreste manor.

Just in front of the closed gate stood the family… but you saw something you never would have expected. Gabriel used to have brown hair!… and Emily was already looking pale as if she had run a marathon.

You did greetings and you were even forcibly weighed, thank god you did those daily jogs.

Finally it was time for the photoshoot, you and Adrien were simply having a picnic, your outfits matched the food the two of you were “eating”.

It was fun, in one part you were making Lila’s dreams come true and in another you gaining what you needed. You listened to the compliments of the photographer and watched the adults come closer.

“Just like always Lila, we didn’t have to take a single retake.”

“No, no, it was only so easy thanks to the help I got from everyone else.”

Gabriel walked up to you and squatted down.

“Would you like to become Adrien’s friend?”

“Yes, I’m not sure if we will become friends but I’ll make sure to get along with him, since we are going to “play” together again, right?”

“Yes, of course you will.”

Gabriel’s smile was gentle… wow the death of a lover really changed him, excluding his looks, you mean come one how much stress was he under that even his hair colour changed.

Adrien walked towards the two of you with a smile on his face as Emily patted him on the head and told him how well he had done. Emily stared at me for a while and slightly squinted, you waved and she waved back slowly as if waving towards you was weird in her eyes.

“It’s nice to meet you, my name is Lila! Would you like to become friends?”

Adrien stared at you shyly and looked up at his mom, ‘wow, he really had no confidence,’ after seeing her nod he also nodded and gave you a wide smile.

Yoy grabbed his hand and pulled out your phone. “Look, this is my mamma! In my opinion I got most of my looks from my-

You talked on and on about your family to calm Adrien down. He nodded along and even spoke about his own family. Finally he asked you a question.

“Lila, do you get Homeschooled?”

“Currently yes, but next year I’ll get online teaching and some tutoring.”

Only then did Audrey interrupt the two of you.

“No Lila, next year you and your mom shall be moving closer to me in Italy and you’ll be home schooled by the tutors me and your mother prescribe for you.”

“Oh, then yes, I do het home schooled.”

Adrien’s face was calmer than expected he then nodded as the two of you stood before the steps of the Agreste household.

“Adrien, take your friend upstairs and go play a game or watch a video you like.”

Adrien nodded sticky as of being addressed by his father was new.

“Also Adrien, Chloe will be coming over soon so play with her as well.”

Adrien nodded and you followed him to his room, that’s when you saw Nathalie, but she didn’t seem surprised to see me. She simply nodded and let Adrien and you enter his room.

“Wow! It’s so big in here!”

Adrien nodded and sat down on his bed.

“Is your room not as big Lila?”

You shake your head

“I have a room in Audrey’s house but it’s not my room, after all it wasn’t specifically made for me. In contrast my personal room is half the size of your room but feels cozy and homey, or more like a warm hug.”

Adrien smiled at the thought and seemed to think of something as he clapped his hands together.

“Would you like to play a card game with me?”

You nod and sit down next to him as the two of you play different card games and sometimes get distracted by chatting.

Out of nowhere the door slammed open

“Adrikins! I-“

She seemed to pause as you put your card down and won the game.

“Ah! Hello Clara!”

After you referred to Chloe by the wrong name Adrien must have looked shocked since Chloe stopped moving.

“I-it’s… My name is Chloe! Who are you to call me Clara!”

“Oh… Audrey called you Clara so I just assumed, I mean why else wouldn’t she call you Chloe.”

‘Okay maybe I’m being a little mean, I know her name is Chloe but still, the way she treated Marinette was horrible… the way her mom treated wasn’t an excuse neither was how creepy Marinette acted in private towards Adrien.’

She stared at the cards and stormed over to the two of you as she pushed you in an attempt to make me fall. Nothing happened and so Adrien and you awkwardly stared at her.

“Either way my name is Lila, I work for your mother! Which is why I thought your name was Clara!”

“L-lila?”

‘Why does she sound so scared?’

Then you thought back to the amount of times you were in pictures with Audrey on her social media and in her own magazine. Chloe must have seen you on them but only now recognised you by name.

“Yeah, that’s Adrien and you’re Chloe! Oh we should all play go fish! Unless your still mad at me for calling you Clara, no right?”

“N-no, let’s play that commoner game.”

You went onto explain the game as the three of you played until Audrey and you had to leave.

“Say goodbye to Adrien and Kourtney, Lila.”

“Bye Adrien, bye Chloe”

The two of them waved as Audrey stared at me with a face full of confusion. But didn’t question why I called Chloe by the correct name.

!!Warning!!
You can not do this daily task again until you do any other tasks [ 1 0 ] times in total

“What?!” Is all you screamed when you saw the message after doing your jog.”

“What’s wrong Lila?” Is all your mother asks, this was the worst. The one time you hang out with your mother and it’s the day you receive this awful news.

And so you spent your time learning how to play different instruments for ten days to increase your musical intelligence!

Chapter Text

It’s been a year and I’ve finally acquired it.

!!Congratulation!!
You have gained the skill : modeling

New inactive skills have been added

Skills:
Listening:

Side effect: everything shall be heard and can cause nausea and headaches

Language comprehension:

Side effect: you may learn to do stuff you do not wish to

Adrenaline rush
* as long as adrenaline is rushing through you, you become better at physical activities.

Through out the year I have also raised all my skills by 10%

Which is why I am currently discussing this with Audrey.

“My music skills have increased! I can play all woodwind instruments, and I’m already grasping the harder string instruments easily! So why can’t I play a cover of a song?”

“Lila darling, you would have to play a gentle song and all you have recommended are electronic songs.”

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

“Mom!”

The door busted open, it wasn’t a shocker since we were “visiting” Audrey’s family.

“Yes K-kourtney, yeah kourtney.”

Chloe pouted, she was matching her mother’s colours.

“A-aren’t…”

“Kourtney speak I’m a busy woman!”

“C-can Lila and i practice together?”

“Practice what?”

“Ballet! Unless you think you can’t compare to me.”

Ballet? Now that I think about it I’ve never tried.

“I’ve never tried before, could you teach me Chloe.”

Chloe raised her nose high and proclaimed her confidence of teaching as she dragged me through the hotel, her grip was firm but not strong enough to leave a mark.

Never before did I imagine that Chloe would actually try to teach me.

“No! You’re doing it all wrong, your big toe is supposed to carry the most of your weight!”

For hours on end I got scolded by Chloe, but still I feel like we have gotten closer!

!!Congratulations!!
You’ve gained the skill:
(Beginner) ballet: (10%)

As I wiped the sweat from my face I smiled towards Chloe “thank you! This was so much fun! Who taught you ballet?”

Chloe blushed while looking down “my papa got me a teacher… b-but I don’t know his name…”

Chloe grabbed your hand as you walked towards the changing room in the hotel.

“Can’t you just ask your dad?”

Chloe stared down at the ground again. “No, he’s busy just like maman… t-that’s why I don’t like you! You always have maman’s attention and she! She never gets your name wrong! She! She acts like you’re her daughter! I-it’s-“

Chloe started to hiccup as her words transformed into incomprehensible gibberish. Even so you continued to comfort her until she stopped crying.

[Your relationship with {Chloe Bourgeois}
has increased by 10%]
[Your relationship with {Chloe Bourgeois}
is no longer in the negative.]

‘Hmm… this can be useful, if Chloe disliked me than I couldn’t be friends with… wait a god Damn minute my relationship with Adrien didn’t increase at all!’

The system comprehends your anxiety and shows all your relationships

Audrey [ 60-100%] positive
Gabriel [ 50-100%] indifferent
Emilie [ 50-100%] indifferent
Adrien [55-100%] positive
Chloe [2-100%] unsure
Zoé [50-100%] idolised

The system hopes this calms you down
The system only informs you of changes in your relationship if someone will treat you differently because of it

‘Thank god! If Adrien’s was negative how bad would I be at making friends!’

• • •

I’ve been thinking about my relationship levels a lot , especially today when I might be meeting new people.

“You will begin tutoring today Lila, are you excited.” Now that you think about it, you see your mom sparingly, with you going on talk shows with Audrey and your mom’s job, you almost never spend time together.

“Okay, mom! What did you do today?”

Your mom hummed to think and then went on to talk about her day. It was peaceful and tranquil and you were filled with happiness.

‘Being tutored might even increase my skills more! I’m so excited!”

Your excitement was for not, over and over they called you a genius for knowing so much, I mean you were at the level of someone ten to fifteen years older than you were supposed to be.

Which is how you ended up where you are now.

“So! You’re a genius.” Audrey stared down at you while smiling. She was wearing the same glasses she would go on to wear in the show.

You nodded shyly too much confidence would make you seem cocky and when you put so much effort into making your image, this couldn’t fuck you over.

“You should try out for high school.”

“N-no, I… I want to make friends and if I finish high school early that will be impossible without being around the same age group.”

How am I ever going to meet the main cast if I don’t attend school with them! I’m not going to be like Luka.

Also I don’t have a sibling who can interact with the cast instead of me. So I must stay in the age group.

“I… I wanna feel like a normal kid.”

Audrey stared at you and simply sighs. “Fine! You gain your diploma early but you can still attend the schools, also you will only attend a school I or your mother agree too.”

You were scared for a second there, but then you remembered how gullible your mother was during the show.

“Okay! I’ll make sure to do that and then while attending school again, I can earn credits.” Audrey nodded and laughed as if anything I had said made sense.

“Beside that I was asked for you to participate in a video, so as we discuss it go hang out with your mom, okay?” I nodded and got up out of my chair and raced out of the room.

“You’re a genius?”

“K-kind off… I don’t think so, but Audrey thinks so.”

“So you’re an Audrey certified genius.” My mother reached for me and went on to give me a nookie.

“Wah no, my hair!”
“Is your hair more important than me?”
“No but”
“Than think about me, not your hair.”

My mom went on to tease me and tickle me until all I could do was laugh.

!!Congratulation!!
You’ve cleared the hidden event :
Happy family moments
You can now gain rewards for bringing skills to max.

That is why I am where I am know.

Doing a collab with a famous singer from the US. Audrey’s reach truly is strong

You’ve brought
[woodwind instrument]

You have gained an empty the miraculous through a ritual
you might be able to convince
a god to connect to it

… you were ignoring literally everything around you as a box appeared in front of you in the systembox is a gray bracelet

You pushed it aside as you stared at it as if you were insane.

[Your relationship with {Clara Nightingale}
has increased by 15%]
[Clara Nightingale thinks you are gifted]

‘Oh yeah that’s her name… is she in miraculous ladybug or not… oh well becoming friends with people like her can make me more popular.’

“You’re English is great and you don’t even take any breaks at 6 years of age, does me saying that fill you with rage?”

“It’s true that I’m only 6, but I also work for Audrey and her brand. It has helped improve my English.”

“Waaah! You’re so cute! Would you like be a cameo in my next music shoot!”

“Have you discussed this with Audrey?”

“Yeah! Well my manager and Audrey but still, what ever shall happen wil”

You sighed calmly and nodded with a smile.

Clara smiled and fondled my hair and walked off. You quickly look around and spotted no one and so rushed to your changing room.

You took the bracelet out of the little box and placed it on your wrist. While you felt a pulse for energy nothing else happened.

You furrowed your brows confused as you looked around your changing room.

You had placed rose scented candles in the room and lit them. Then went on to play on a violin. Your second best string instrument after the guitar. You didn’t know of any songs to respect the gods so you and so played a song you found beautiful enough to represent your desires to speak with them.

“Your music is so nice! And I love~ these candles! So… who are you?”

You turned towards the voice who had magically appeared. What I saw first was a humanoid girl that then turned into a woman only for it to settle into a swan.

The kwami was a cute little swan but seemed overly confident

“My name is Cesire Lila Rossi, but you can just call me Lila like all the others!”

“Okay, Lila. My name is Ditte and I represent love as well as the goddess Aphrodite!”

You hummed in thought and asked something you never thought you could “Could you make me look like a magical girl like in the anime’s! I want to try to look like a pr* cure!”

Ditte starts to laugh and nods as she explains what I can do and what I have to say. I strechted out my hand and Ditte

“Ditte transform moi”

I was wearing a white dress, it was short in the front but long in the back. I was also wearing thick white heels I could even run in with enough practice.

It was much more tiring than I had expected. Just standing felt tiring… I sighed and said what I had to say

“Ditte detransform moi”

“What’s wrong? Did it hurt? Or did you think I was too amazing to control me!”

“I think I’m too young, but I’ll continue to practice until I can!”

Ditte nodded and smiled “I’ll make sure to teach you well owner!”

“Thank you Ditte I’ll also learn well!”

Today is a mile stone for me, I'll be performing a song at Chloe's birthday!
This could improve my string instrument skill and Chloe will like it!
I also got her a bracelet and the matching earrings she had talked about with Adrien and me.

It was a lavish introduction as Chloe was dressed as a princess as people pandered over her. As soon as Chloe spotted me I started playing Chloe's favourite song. I did have to argue with Chloe's dad about this but I got my way!

Chloe's smile was so wide as she seemingly looked around for Adrien.

After playing Chloe's song I was replaced by someone that was hired and got down to talk with Chloe and to hand over my gift.

When Chloe spotted me walking over with my two gift boxes she smiled again and started walking towards me.

"Happy birthday Chloe! Here you go!"
Chloe opened it carefully and smiled towards me "Thank you Lilakins! I'll wear them everyday!"

I smiled and watched Adrien hand over his gift that Chloe treated with the same excitement. I could pretty much see the hearts in her eyes as Adrien smiled brightly

This is the biggest birthday I've ever seen, but it's the perfect birthday for someone like Chloe.

It was weird when a man I had never seen before appeared in my house.

"Cessy! It's been so long!"

The man hugged me and so I smiled on instinct.

My mom smiled at the sight "Lila this is your dad ya know, you can be a little more excited."

I closed my eyes and hugged the man tighter as he spun me.

"Cerise! Do you have anything you want? Normally you ask me to send you gifts. Also" dad turned towards mom with a sly smile "you haven't moved as much even though you're an ambassador."

Mom laughed and looked towards me "Thanks to Audrey's connection I don't have to move as much even though she's in America."

I ignored that part of the conversation "Dad! Let's go get ice cream!"

I mean you had to get to know this man as the two of you traveled through Paris.

""Rocky road."" Is what you both asked for, at least your father had taste.

He ended up rambling to me about his work in the government. And why he's been gone for so long.

Next thing I know we're in a toy store. "Daddy, can I have one of those movie big plushies I can put in the corner of my room?" My dad nodded and smiled as we were there and he payed for anything if I stared long enough.

"Hhahwha!!! What happened to your arms?" Is all my mom asked as she didn't even try to control her laughter.

I walked to my room with my big teddy bear and put in the corner of my bed as I dragged one bag after the next into the room to decorate the end of my bed with plushies with my mom's laughter as background noise.

Chapter Text

Today is the 19th of October and a week ago you found out that that day it would be Adrien's birthday. A miracle since you could now give him your gift

The plan was simple, you would make him three plushies! A cat, a bee, a dog and an eagle.

Why? It would represent all three of your future kwami's if you could convince Chloe to stay on the heroes side and if that didn't work it's not as if Adrien would know! The dog was nagging you, you weren't sure why you had made it but you did it was a black dog with a spiked collar.

After asking for permission through Audrey to visit, you came over with your gift. They weren't Marinette level but they were cute! You had put them all in a bag and threw a bow around all their necks.

While you yourself didn't know, this was the day Adrien gained a crush on you. And so he would treasure these gifts for the rest of his life. The system can't seem to tell the difference between platonic and romantic love

"Adrien! Happy birthday!"  Felix entered Adrien's room with a smile.

Adrien tried to hide his gifts but Felix had already spotted them. "What's that? Did your dad buy those for you?"

Adrien shook his head with a shy smile. "A friend of mine gave these for me! Don't you think they're cute!"

Felix sat down on Adrien's bed and stared at him confused. "Chloe got you plushies? I mean she's getting nicer but she would normally just buy something super expensive."

"No not Chloe, Lila gave these to me!" Adrien smiled while saying this and without the shame he usually felt when talking about others. Adrien turned away from Felix and placed the plushies next to his pillow.

"Who is Lila?"

[Your relationship with {Chloe Bourgeois}
is in the best friend zone.]

You smiled as you watched Chloe run over to Adrien and you after she finished her ballet performance.

Just being around her made her happy, as if she's a puppy. Chloe sees the two of you and smiles.

"Will Adrikins and you join me next year in Collège Françoise Dupont?"

We did all turn ten recently and when people turn eleven in France they enter midddle school.

"Absolutely, I do need to gain my middle school diploma after all!" Is all I said with a smile

!!Congratulation!!

You have gained the miraculous

Chloe grabs Adrien's hand and then mine. "Adrikins are you joining?"

Adrien shakes his head "I'm not sure...Dad's been considering it but it's not likely."

Chloe pouts and turns around "I'll ask daddy to convince him!"

Adrien tries to dissuade her, but Chloe ignores him. You smile while watching Chloe pout and look around for her father to convince him to convince Adrien's dad.

!!Warning!!
Someone is planning to take a picture of you. The picture will be taken from your left.

My smile takes a more practice pose as you angle your face away from your left, since you had the time you also block Chloe and Adrien.

"Chloe you have to go back on stage!"

Chloe nods and runs off stage to go back on as you lean into your chair.

Adrien turns towards you and smiles brightly like the sunshine boy he is.

[Make yourself Adrien's favorite person out of all of his friend]
Reward : Lila not controlling your desires,
Having all of Adrien's trust
Failure: Lila's desires control you

You raise your eyebrow as the expected appeared.

!!Congratulations!!
You've cleared the event [Make yourself Adrien's favorite person out of all of his friend] would you like to start with the next event [Ruin Marinette's future with Adrien]

You quickly grab your phone and say "Only after she gets a crush on him."

Adrien stared at you with confusion but you simply shook your phone and put it away

Adrien sighed and started clapping as Chloe appeared on stage again.

"Oh yeah! Felix wanted to meet you!"

"Who is that?"

"My nephew we grew closer these last two years! And I rambled about you too him so... he said he wanted to meet you."

You nodded and smiled "I would love to meet him."

You left with your family as Adrien talked with his dad about letting you visit. You simply stared up at your mother and father. Your mother's job is supposed to make all of you move to France! It seems canon is doing it's job.

It was pretty calming holding your mothers hand as you walked to the car. The two of them were talking about moving but didn't seem interested in including you.

"Mama, I don't mind moving myself! It means I can hang out more with Chloe and Adrien and I can even go to the same school as Chloe once we're finished moving!"

My mom and dad sighed, you guess knowing you didn't mind was relieving. You waved towards Adrien, as if he had eyes on the back of his head he waved towards you.

'Weird... am I forgetting something...

It's not my miraculous, they're op but hard to use due to my age, I've gotten better at extending how long I can use them by taking jogs with them late at night. Well, the ones that make it possible to see late at night

Another thing most of them can't fly even though they're based off of winged creatures. Even if I imagine them with wings they're just decoration.

Though I did manage to walk in the sky for a few seconds. Thank god for my skill that informs me when others take pictures of me, if not I would've already been found out by Emilie and Gabriel...

Omg it's the rings! They control Adrien and make it so he can't make his own decisions! How the hell will I get those?'

Chapter Text

"Lila! This is the house we've been thinking of buying. What do you think?" The house was bigger than the one in the show, it truly feels like you've entered the upper class in France.

"Yeah! This is a good one!"

Thank god you live in Europe, you won't have to deal with the annoying passport struggles.

Over the next few months you spent your time increasing skills, gaining miraculous and trying your hardest to stay off of everyone's radar while practicing with miraculous.

Today was a more normal day then others. You would model for Audrey's brand as a new citizen of France. You were popular in France as well but not enough to beat Agreste sales.

After the photoshoot you would meet Adrien's cousin, Felix.

This album of photos were mostly about you moving to France and having fun facts in it about you.

Ever since Audrey caught you making plushies she asked you to make one for the photoshoot.

You just made a butterfly that you placed on your head. Audrey decided to add to that and make you wear an outfit that would move in the wind.

This was the most fun you had had in photoshoots in a while. After everyone finished you walked over to Audrey and your mother with a smile and handed the plushy over to Audrey.

"Do you think this could be like... merchandise?"

Audrey stared at my plushy and nodded. "It's really well made and if you make them yourself they'll be limited edition but the most of them will be factory made. Do you want to make more for limited edition?"

You nodded and stared at the plushy as you muttered about making more plushies in the future as gifts.

Out of nowhere yo heard footsteps come towards the three of you. A boy that looked identical to Adrien smiled towards me. You smiled and waved and then turned back towards Audrey.

"Is he supposed to be here?"

"Adrien? Of course."

You looked back towards the boy, even though nothing should logically give it away you knew on a conscious level that this had to be Felix.

"It's nice to meet you, are you Adrien's nephew?" After you asked this question everyone on set quieted down. Then the actual Adrien appeared from around the corner as you continued to stare at Felix.

"Your name is Felix, right?" Felix' smile was creepy but quickly turned into a childish one.

"Yep! It's nice to meet you! They confused me for Adrien and just let me in so I went along with it!"

Adrien was by now standing next to Felix "Felix! You know lying isn't a good thing!" Felix simply laughed and waved Adrien away. "Yeah, yeah, anyways my name is just as you said, Felix! She's done now, right?"

Felix looked up at Audrey but you simply stared at him and Adrien. "Yeah i'm done! Let's go to Adrien's house!" You brought your arm up as if you were excited about leaving.

Adrien copied you with a confused look as Felix laughed due to Adrien's expression.

"Your room is just as big as last time I came here!" Adrien stared at you with one raised eye brow as he sat down on his bed.

"You were here a few months ago." You laughed as you finally spotted your plushies. You smiled and then looked away as you wandered around just for the fun of it.

As you walked around you finally thought of something for you all to do "How about we play a game on your big tv?" Felix nodded but still turned towards Adrien as he went off his bed and walked towards us.

The three of you went on to play different kinds of game, multiplayer, 1v1s, even Tetris.

Adrien sighed while looking at the clock. We had been allowed to play games for 45 minutes only. Adrien know had to leave, he left his own room with a smile as he walked off.

As soon as he did the atmosphere between Felix and you changed from kind to suspicious of each other. "Lila! How did you get to meet Adrien?" Felix leaned closer while he smiled, a smile that was so picture perfect it was abnormal in this situation.

"Adrien and me had been modelling a scene for a picnic photo shoot! After that we played two player card games. Why are you asking, Felix?"

Felix smiled the perfect smile again as he seemed to imbue Adrien's unlimited kindness with only fake kindness. "I was just wondering if your relationship was real after all."

'Ah, he wishes to see if I'm like Chloe.' You looked up towards the ceiling and pulled a pondering face as you answered "I think it's real! I mean there's no reason for us to be pretending for so long."

Felix nodded as something gleamed inside his eyes. His voice turned more bland as he spoke no longer attempting to appeal to anyone around "Why are we both pretending? I mean Adrien doesn't really care about you, he even complained about the quality of those plushies you bought."

Your face turned neutral as you spoke "Ah, how embarrassing, I made those myself. I wasn't sure about what to get him since buying something feels so lazy when he could just buy it himself."

Felix rolled his eyes as he grabbed the cat plushy and searched for proof that it was bought. This was of course impossible and so he placed it down and turned around wearing a shocked face.

"Oh I'm so sorry Lila, I lied about that. I-I just was so annoyed you bought him something so cheap out of laziness while he swooned over how much he liked them."

You smiled at the thought of Adrien swooning over the plushies. "Really? I'm so glad there I was freaking out when you said he hated them."

Felix sat down and didn't pay attention as his sleeve rode up his arm showing imperfections. They didn't look self made, no they looked like they were made by someone else... you looked away as you pondered about who it could be.

'Emilie is still alive so it's no one with Agreste last name nor is it someone working for them. Nor can it be Amelie since she would even hide him from Ladybug and Chat noir to protect him... So wh-'

Your eyes widened as you remembered Felix' father. In Felix' play he was described as an abusive bastard... but to leave easily found marks is idiotic.

"You saw didn't you?" You turned towards Felix' voice as you nodded he stared at his wrist for a few minutes and then grumbled something under his voice as he rolled his eyes. "No matter how horrible he is I'm forced to love him."

You stare in front of you, you had nothing you could say... at least in this life your family life is perfect. "Wanna play games again? This time we won't have to switch over and over so that everyone can play equally."

Felix stared at you for a while but nodded as he grabbed one of the controllers as you grabbed the other.

"May I win" is all you said, in response Felix nudged you in the side with his elbow.

[Marinette's pov]

As Marinette walked into class she made eye contact with a blond haired girl chatting with a red haired girl next to her.

"No I'm telling you, maman's winter collection is so much better! Did you not see how cute Lilakins looks!"

Marinette tripped as she walked in ruining her hopes at a good first impression, she had been moved to a new class now that it's October. The blonde haired girl stared at Marinette as a laugh slipped out of her.

Before Marinette could say anything the homeroom door opened as the teacher stared at her as she layed on the floor.

"Okay..." Is all the teacher said as they stepped over her. "I'm filling in today! You can call me Rossi." This was a relative of yours, you saw them during holidays and birthdays but not anymore than that.

Marinette quickly got up and sat down in the front. One of the only still empty seats. 'How embarrassing! Now i'll never make friends.'

[Your pov]

"You've recently moved to France, how is moving away from your birthplace?"

You shake your head and smiled as you gave your preplanned response with ease

!!CONGRATULATIONS!!
You've gained the skill
[acting] through [lying]

Your face twitched slightly, you quickly went to itch your cheek to hide possible suspicion. As you continued to converse you thought about your situation, you still had a year of calm before you had to worry about relationships worsening.

The audience clapped as you got up and walked off stage while waving.

One of your managers walked up as they repeated your schedule to you. It's a miracle you have so much free time when your fame is now around Adrien's level in Paris.

You stretched your arm as a hat and glasses were put on top of you.

You laughed to yourself as you looked up towards the sky. This is a good life!

[Marinette's pov]

Marinette was sitting in her room letting a random uutube video play but it landed on your exact interview. Marinette pressed the skip button before she could even tell what this video could be she heard an add of yours. The video was the collab of Clara nightingale and you.

Marinette turned towards her computer as Manon quietly played with Marinette's toys. But as the video started to play Mannon walked over. "Ah! It's Lila! Marinette! Marinette! Leave the collab on."

Marinette sighed and left it on as she wondered who you were. Just like in the show (where she doesn't recognise Adrien) she (also) doesn't know exactly who you are. Marinette grabbed her phone and searched you up, videos of you playing different instruments, at talk shows, game shows and lastly an article about how you met the fashion queen Audrey.

Marinette spent her time reading about you as the video played and went to grab her sketchbook out of its locked box. "She would be fun to sketch."

Marinette smiled as she searched up pictures of you. What she found specifically was a picture of you advertising your limited edition plushie butterfly.

"Ha choo!" You wiped your nose and thanked the reporter who said bless you. You watched Audrey insult the reporters and excused yourself as you walked off.

"This is ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! You're fired!" Audrey yelled this as the already terrified reporter. "Oh hello Lila, what's wrong?"

You shook your head and told her all of you would need to leave for Gabriel's collab with Audrey's brand.

"Oh yes! Let's hurry!"

When the two of you arrived you looked for Adrien's mom. Adrien must have noticed since he told you immediately where she was "Mom's filming a movie."

As we sat and talked you thought of the episode where Marinette was confused for Adrien's girlfriend. Replacing her wouldn't be hard in that scene.

"Everyone in positions!"

You went through rounds of outfit changes and naturally pictures that should be enough to finish the collab.

Adrien turned to you with a bright smile and grabbed your hand as the two of you walked over to Chloe?! Weirdly enough she was seated on a bench hidden and not making a sound.

Chloe stared down at our hands but you pretended not to notice. "Hi Chloe!"

Chloe continued to stare for a little while longer before looking into your eyes.

"Hi... Is modeling fun?"

Adrien must have noticed Chloe staring, he turned away from you and took his hand out of mine. You stare down at your empty hand and then turn towards Chloe. "Would you like to model? I can help you practice becoming good enough for you mom to not immediately complain about it. I mean it's normal to need practice no one's perfect."

Chloe stared up at you and held tightly onto her white skirt. "Weren't you good without practice?"

You lie without any shame as you shake your head. "No, I practiced a month before I asked my mom if I could try."

Chloe looked much happier when she heard it, a smile slips out of her as she looks up at the two of you. "I'm going to try, but instead of bothering the two of you, I'll ask auntie Emilie about some advise."

You heard someone tisk behind Chloe and when you looked up it was Felix. "You? Putting in an effort?" Chloe pouted and started a one sided screaming match with Felix.

You turn towards Adrien who shrugs. You turn around and see that Emilie had arrived. She seemed to be searching for one of the Agreste males. When she spotted us she smiled and waved."

Today is a good day.

!!Congratulation!!
You have collected all of the Greek set
You have gained the
[Greek containment box]

You were seated in your room and stared at it as you pulled it out.

You also pulled out the miraculous(?) you had

Zeus and Hera shared the top
Poseidon, Hades, Athena, Aphrodite & Apollo shared the middle of the box
In the bottom of the box were Demeter, Persephone, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Selene Ares, Artemis and Hermes

It looked similar to master Fu's box but it had a golden markings instead of red while the outside showed no hint of which miraculous was which, if you held your hand over the top and thought of whichever you wanted you could pull 'em out.

Of course having it in the real world is more dangerous than having it in the system and so you put the box back inside.

You stretched and got up.

[You've gained a side quest
ruin a classmate's reputation]
Reward: hidden
Failure : Your reputation falls into the minus (can only happen if all your classmates hate you)

You stared at the quest and sighed, it seemed you would be starting school soon. You got up and walked towards your mom.

You now stand in front of Chloe's school but you wouldn't be in Chloe's class in this year. You needed to be in a different class, while it wasn't mentioned you obviously needed to have a good reputation.

You walked to the principal's office and gained your schedule. Your first class was homeroom with a man named Jean-Pierre Monlataing. You stood in front of the door and waited with a practiced smile, as you were told to come in you exuded an aura of kindness

"It's nice to meet you all, my name is Cerise Lila Rossi! But all of you can just call me Lila, I hope we can get along!"

Almost everyone smiled towards you except one girl. She was sitting in the front, she seemed like a more cautious copy of Marinette. Next to her must be her crush. Hmm I guess this makes your life easier. As you went to walk of the stage you twisted your foot on purpose and fell against their table.

"Are you okay?" As you looked up the same guy was now standing in front of you and helped you stand up. You leaned on him and looked down at the glaring girl.

"Would you mind if I sat in your spot. I don't think I should walk around a lot."

She pouted but got up without a word you looked towards her with a fake version of concern.

You turned towards the boy and asked him your question "Do you think she hates me?" He shook his head and helped you sit down. "No way, she's the nicest girl in this school."

You look behind you and see her blatantly glaring at you. You wondered if this is how Marinette glared at the original Lila.

"But she's glaring at me." He looked behind and saw her glare aimed at me. He turned around and rubbed you on your back. "I'll talk to her."

You nod and pay attention and take notes. You answer questions only when no one else knew the answer and for the rest spoke with the boy seated next to you, his name was Neo.

Unlike Adrien he wasn't a pushover and stood by his morals so you could not get caught.

Your plan was simple, you would trick her into spreading malicious rumours about you. You would then reveal she started the rumours and sue her. While these rumours spread you would also make sure only your classmates wouldn't believe them.

The bell rang and you pulled out your schedule. "Do you think I should go to the nurse's office or just continue going to my classes?"

Neo put you arm over his shoulder without even waiting "You should go to the nurse's office. I'll bring you and even tell the teacher."

You smiled and turned towards all your other classmates who tried to help with a smile and you even apologising for being an annoyance. You waved them off and went to the nurse's office.

As you lied in the nurse's office you smiled. You would play the role of a villain, a victim as well as a hero. That's for sure

End of Arc 1

Ty for reading this story, I mostly wrote it to prove to myself that I could. I probably won't be updating this story until next year due to work and vacation. I would also like to say thank you to everyone that commented and voted! It has truly motivated me to work on arc 2 and arc 3 of this story. I hope to see you all next year!

Chapter Text

You’ve been sitting in the front even though your ankle is no longer twisted. It’s only been a week and you think you can already trick her into spreading rumours about you.

You’ve payed attention to everyone while some recognised you as a model. You asked them to stay quiet about it. So she doesn’t seem to know anything.

“Alisa pay attention!” The girl’s head shot up, so her name is Alisa. It’s been a week and yet you still didn’t know her name.

“I- I was paying attention!” She said while lying, it was obvious, she stuttered and had been glaring at you instead of paying attention.

Neo clicked his tongue, I had made it seem as if she had stuck her foot out and made me trip a few days ago.

“Then repeat what I said.”

The silence was overwhelming, You raised your hand and offered to repeat it for her. Your teacher was strict, but she seemed to like you. “Thank you Lila.”

You nod, stand up and turn towards her as you repeat and explain what she wanted Alisa to say. It only angered her more. You sat down and turned towards Neo and whispered something in his ear in hopes that Alisa would notice.

Of course she did her eyes couldn’t move away from either of you. She kept getting caught watching you two. Untill she pushed your teacher over the edge. “That’s it! Alisa go to the headmaster!”

Alisa tried to argue against it but it was impossible. A minute after she walked off the bell rang. You spent lunch handing out your phone number. Well your other phone number, this phone had zero of your connections on it like Audrey or Clara.

The most important things you found out were everyone’s birthdays. You watched Alisa’s best friend get up to go talk to Alisa and immediately turned towards Neo “I wanna plan a surprise party for Narsissa! What do you all think?” Everyone talked for a while and ended up agreeing to planning the party.

Neo smiled when hearing about it and forced everyone to secrecy as you smiled. It was perfect, Alisa would temporarily convince her best friend you were horrible until she realised we were planning this party for her. Narsissa would feel horrible and divulge all of Alisa’s plans.

First you would have to figure out what she liked.

“Narsissa’s favourite musician is Clara nightingale!” You smiled brightly and saw Narsissa walk over. Everyone seemed to have a hard time lying so you stood up.

“Did you hear from Alisa if she’s in trouble?” Narsissa nodded with a frown on her face.

You made sure you didn’t look that sad about it and sat back down. “I see… anyways!”

All of you kept talking, Narsissa stared at you while squinting her eyes, it’s good if she’s suspicious of you.

The bell rang and everyone got up. You stared at your schedule and wondered where the hell you were supposed to go. Unbeknownst to you Neo went to walk up to you, but bumped into a red head… you heard the crash and turned your head, it was Nathaniel and Neo who had bumped into each other, Nathaniel’s sketch book had even fallen open.

You pick up Nathaniel’s notebook as Nathaniel repeatedly apologised for bumping into Neo. Before Neo could respond you spoke.

“These are so pretty!” Nathaniel turned around and saw his sketch book in your hands. You closed it and handed it over with a smile. Nathaniel hugged the book close and mumbled “thank you.” After which he ran off.

You stared at Nathaniel and turned back towards Neo. You smiled brightly as the two of you walked to your math class together.

[Alisa’s pov]

“I knew it!” Narsissa and I were hanging out at The Boulangerie Patisserie. Narsissa chewed on her cookies as she listened to me complain about Cerise!

“She’s such a bitch, she’s manipulating everyone in our class.” Narsissa had finished eating and simply stared at me “Maybe its a misunderstanding, I mean if she hated you wouldn’t she be a lot meaner.”

I stood up abruptly “She is mean! She took my seat and no one believes when I tell them about how horrible she is!” I sat back down and bit into my croissant.

Narsissa sighed “she did react weird when I told her about you being in trouble, everyone else kept quiet around me… maybe you are right, Xeor didn’t want to hang out today, he always wants to hang out with us!”

I nodded quickly, finally Narsissa could see the truth as well! Cerise is a snake… she was even stealing Neo’s heart. I would catch her in the act no matter what! Neo had said it himself, if we don’t take action no one will. I can’t let her win… even if I have to ruin her reputation to win.

I puts on a hoodie and dark sunglasses to plan and follow that girl! I’ll proof it to everyone that I’m right.
.
.
.
It’s been a week and I haven’t caught her once!

I’ve only seen her get into sketchy black cars, every time I’ve tried to take a clear picture of her, her own hair gets in the way or she just blocks her face with her hands.

Even recording conversations is impossible I can never get close enough! A random group of guys would always end up walking in front of me.

Fine this pictures will have to be enough. I can convince the people she hasn’t interacted with yet. I’m certain she’s doing something shady. I mean I’m not even going to lie, I just don’t have proof yet.

Chapter Text

[Your pov]

She has a lot in common with Marinette. She’s a stalker just like her. You’ve avoided letting her take clear pictures of you. She’s so distracted she’s even forgotten about Narsissa’s birthday.

Thanks to everyone’s help we’re almost finished. You’ve even convinced Clara to come to the party in return you’ll play the piano in her next song. Both of these things benefit you but it’s not like you would tell her that. You’ve been curious about what would happen if you brought another skill to 100%.

“That’s a wrap everyone!” You look up to see Gabriel and Audrey talk about the pictures, Chloe talked about joining but she seems to have lost the desire… did Audrey tell her to stop dreaming or something meaner?

Either way you sit up and wander over to Chloe, Felix had stopped Adrien so they would join Chloe and you later.

You sat down and smiled towards Chloe. “Why aren’t you modeling yet Chloe?” Chloe looked up only now you could see that she had been crying.

“Mother told me to stop kidding myself and just stay on the sidelines as always.” Chloe sniffed in her tears. “Well, Audrey’s just being a big meany! And if someone hurts your feelings just because they can you shouldn’t care about their opinion.”

Chloe stared up at you and then sighed “but Adrikins you and even Felix all listen to her… I’ve heard that she’s asked Felix if he wants to model due to his looks… it’s not fair.”

You nodded “it isn’t fair. Your mom was being mean to you. But normally she’s much more rational… I’m sorry I don’t have any advice except not taking anything she says to heart, because I don’t agree with her and Adrien also doesn’t agree.”

Chloe rubbed her eyes and then giggled “What about Felix?” “I also don’t agree” it was like a jump scare his voice appeared out of nowhere.

“Aaaah!” Chloe screamed as she whipped her head around. Felix was standing right behind us, Adrien was standing right next to Felix and simply smiled.

“Lila’s right Chloe. None of us think such mean things about you.”

Chloe smiled and fully wiped her tears away. She looked up at the sky and then turned towards you three. “I’ve decided I’m going to follow in aunty Emilie’s footsteps and become an actor!”

We all looked towards the sky with Chloe with believe that she would succeed in what she wanted.

Narsissa’s birthday is next week. You’ve been telling your classmates in earshot of Alisa to keep ‘it’ a secret. Alisa high likely twisted your words into something even meaner since Narsissa hasn’t been speaking with you for a while now.

You’ve been using that as excuse to gain comfort from Neo, when Alisa finally caught on why you were doing it Narsissa returned and started forcing her way into all the hang outs with you and Neo.

It was on one of those hang outs that the weirdest thing happened. A lady who you had never met before threw a drink at you and started cursing you out accusing you of stealing their boyfriend.

You stood still made your shoulders tremble as you cried publicly and fell to your knees. You got the notification but still you didn’t try to hide your face. The lady tried apologising but only got judged by Neo as Narsissa stayed quiet.

You got up in the end and split up from the two of them saying you only wanted to go home. Narsissa simply nodded stoically while Neo loudly asked you to call him if you feel sad. You nodded with a smile and walked off, three more pictures were taken of your tear strikken face.

This was enough, now you could sue her. Before that you were going to tell all your friends while crying and would tell Audrey. Alisha’s life is over! But first

““Surprise!””

Narsissa stood shocked in the opening of the door as you all smiled towards her. You ran over with a gift in your hand. “Happy birthday Narsissa!” She stared down at the gift and then up at us.

“Who planned this? I mean I’m really grateful and I didn’t see it coming at all!”

You raised your hand with a smile “Sorry for pushing you away these days, I was a little scared I would spoil the surprise.”

Everyone else nodded and apologized for avoiding Narsissa. You looked behind Narsissa and then towards everyone else “Didn’t you guys invite Alisa?”

Neo spoke up at that moment “I tried but she kept rambling about…” he turned to look at me and then turned away, “about things I won’t concern myself with.”

Narsissa forced a smile on her face and accepted your gift. “Thanks you all, especially you Ce- I mean, Lila thank you the most.”

Narsissa’s thoughts were hidden from me but her facial expression spoke volumes. She felt guilty for the rumours she had spread about you. You watched as Narsissa was handed gifts by everyone, due to her own culture she refused to open them in front of us, but promised she would!

Your smile did not dwindle as you interacted with everyone. The party lasted five hours, Alisa never arrived, but Narsissa didn’t seem to care. She walked up to you after you said goodbye to Clara. “Can we… talk I… I know who spread those rumours about you.”

You make yourself look frantic and squat down. “L-let’s talk about this privately.” The two of you walk off as you stare down at the floor.

“W-who is it?”

“It’s Alisa, she’s… convinced you’re this despicable person whose manipulated everyone into hating her since no one believes anything she says about you.”

Narsissa stared quietly at you “but you’re not mean, you planned this whole party for me when we’ve just met and Alisa didn’t even show up!”

You don’t respond, Alisa is a mean person even from your perspective all the rumours she’s spread are malicious and full of falsehoods. It seems Alisa has no moral compass.

“I- I have some connections and I’ve been plotting to sue her, do you have any evidence.”

“Yeah… she messaged me all her plans… I-I’m sorry for not stopping her… when you all planned my party without me knowing I just… from my perspective it was like everyone started hating me as soon as you talked to them… I knew it was wrong to not stop her, but I wanted you to be just as low as me… but in truth I kicked someone down who was never above me! I-i’m so sorry!” Narsissa broke down crying, consumed by her own self hatred.

You hugged her and pushed her head into your shoulder. As you let yourself smile. Soon enough your mission would be fulfilled, how big would the rewards be? Well, it’s now time to tell everyone close to you the truth.

You walked towards your private car and got inside and read your schedule for tomorrow.

You pulled out your phone with all of your connections and messaged Adrien first, he called you after reading your messages and the two of you talked for a short while. With Adrien’s schedule it’s a miracle you were able to reach him.

After your call with Adrien you called Chloe. Chloe spent the majority of the call stifling her screaming as she swore to ruin all of Alisa’s future job offers.

After Chloe came Felix, Adrien was panicked and nervous, Chloe was angry and filled with wrath, but Felix’s voice seemed calm and composed but under his calm escaped some of his emotions willed with anger and fear for you. The conversation between Felix and you lasted the longest.

Your relationship with {Felix Fathom}
has increased by 10%]

Your relationship with {Felix Fathom}
has changed to best friends

Felix became quiet on the other side of the call “When I visit France again I… I have something to tell you.”

You were exiting the car and entered your home. “Okay Felix, untill then!”

“Until then.”

Felix hung up as you went to call Audrey. You stopped yourself, your father was sitting at the kitchen table in a call with someone who seemed annoyed.

“Father, can we talk?” Your father turned towards you and had been planning to tell you to wait a little, you had seamlessly activated the skill : acting. You looked like you had been crying for a while.

Your dad said goodbye to whomever he had been calling and sat down on the coach. Without waiting you sat down next to your father and told him the same thing you told Adrien, Chloe and Felix, only about the rumours and Alisa.

I mean truthfully you had done nothing, everything Alisa did was by choice. She was a version of Marinette if she was more… narrow minded! Your dad patted you on the head and told you to go take shower since he had to make a call. The call was obviously towards Audrey, you nodded and went to go take a bath instead of showering.

Soon Alisa’s life would be over. And then truly no one would believe anything she said.

Chapter Text

*It's taken me a while to update but here is the next chapter, sorry for the delay. 😅

"Adrien, this year Lila will be joining us at Diamonds' dance. So you should introduce her to your other acquaintances like the prince of Achu or the Naraya family. It will show that we side with her family's business as they climb up the social ladder in France."

Adrien opened his mouth to speak but his father walked off. "M-mother's premiere! A-are we going to... watch it?" Adrien's father stopped but did not respond he fiddled with his ring as he spoke again. "Adrien do as I say."

Adrien nodded and headed up to his room. His mother was sitting in his room. "Adrien! Don't take what your father said to heart... he just wants you to stay close to Lila. The two of you are both models. But no matter what I'll be here to comfort you!"

Adrien nodded and walked past his mother and sat on his bed. "I-i'm sorry mom can I go sleep?" Emilie's smile twitched as her back was turned towards Adrien 'He ignored my hug...' "of course!" Emilie's smile spread widely as she turned back towards Adrien.

Emilie coughed again and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again Adrien had rushed over to her and she hugged him. "I love you, Adrien!" "I love you too mom." Emilie smiled as she squeezed Adrien even closer to him.

'I'm Adrien's favourite and that's all that matters! He'll love me the most in the entire world! Since I'm the perfect mother!'

[Chloe's pov]

I was tapping my foot on the floor, this girl is making me! The Chloe Bourgeois! Wait on her! Sabrina stood next to me confused about what we were waiting on. Alisa walked through the gates.
She waved towards her best friend who simply turned away... As it should be, she's alone!

"Let's go Sabrina!"

Sabrina followed me without a second thought as I stormed up to Alisa. Alisa stared up at me, she's hilariously short! I raised my hand and hit her with the back of my hand.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" Without a second thought I gripped her by her hair, she had already started crying. Ha! Lila had cried much longer than this.

"Because of you Lila's been crying! Who the hell are your parents? Oh, you know who I am right?"

She nodded while crying. I let her hair go and looked away from her. "I don't care what you say, I know the truth. You spread all those disgusting rumours about Lila. Well don't worry my mother had some papers to give you, and I'm hand delivering them." I threw them in her face, they fell down in front of her and she seemed fully confused.

"Your being sued for defamation of Cerise Lila Rossi. You better get yourself a lawyer since my mother has multiple ready."

My pony tail had landed on my shoulder through the whole ordeal. I flipped it back and over my shoulder whilst I looked towards everyone else. "Don't worry everyone, the rest of you are safe! I'm going to have a talk with our principal."

I walked confidently as Sabrina followed behind me. "Sabrina did you spot anyone recording me?"

"Yes, there was Alisa and that male friend of Lila, Neo."

I nodded and walked up the stairs to the principal's office. "Tell that Neo guy to delete it or he'll be sued for filming me without my consent. Don't let Alisa find out I wanna watch her try to use it in court."

We had finally arrived at the principal office. Perfect, now to get the recordings from the principal office.

[ Adrien's pov ]

Lila and my schedule have been emptied. I've been happy about it, I mean I enjoy pleasing my parents but... spending time with Lila makes me a different kind of happy.

"Adrien." I looked up and saw my mother smiling down at me. "Have fun with Lila, whatever you want, you can do." Mother bopped my nose as she coughed and walked off. My facial expression soured, mothers been leaving the house less. What's wrong with mother?

"Adrien." My back straightened immediately and I smiled towards my father. "Dad!"

He smiled down at me and patted me on the head. "Comfort Lila, but stick to your eating schedule I have no interest in putting you on a diet."

I nodded and watched the door open. My smile widened as Lila walked through the door. Today I have nothing to do except being happy and keeping Lila happy. I thought it was weird that she didn't have to go to school today until it was explained to me.

Audrey had pretty much used Lila's diplomas to excuse absences. I slowly walked towards Lila and gripped her hand in mine. Today would be perfect, even if it didn't want to be, I would make it be perfect, for Lila! She deserves that much!

[Felix' pov]
I stared out the window immediately disassociating as my father insulted me. I sat in the back of the car staring at his lips as they moved to fame paying attention. the bite hurt more then the bark when it comes to dogs.

When I "woke up" I was standing in front of my mom who talked with dad as if he wasn't a piece of shit who treated me like the dirt under his shoes.

Dad was murmuring about how annoying Chloe's mom was being and brought up someone I didn't know nor cared about.

"Her other daughter, Zoé, is visiting, treat her as if she's Chloe but like a lesser Chloe, understand?"

"Yes" I said but I didn't make eye contact with him. I mean why would I, it's not like he likes to see my eyes.

A car pulled up, a girl who I presume is Zoé pulled up wearing an outfit Lila wore in the Style Princess x Agreste collab.

I put on a fake smile that didn't reach my eyes at all. "Nice to meet you Zoé!" I grabbed onto her elbow and essentially dragged her inside to talk about nothing while I pretended as if I was listening to her and even cared.

She sure did talk for a while, I nodded along and asked questions about random sentences but didn't really care about her. I was only thinking about getting rid of the weight of my shoulder by talking to-

"Lila is amazing isn't she, she used to visit where I lived."

I turned to look at her with a smile, actually interested in what she had to say. "What did you guys talk about?"

"Oh no, mom didn't want us talking. Even so she was really polite! Oh I wish I was allowed to know her. Mom always gets me a copy of all her merchandise if I ask. Aren't I the luckiest in the whole world!"

My smile twitched slightly, wow tha girl really is pathetic. "I've spoken with Lila before and she's just as nice as you've always imagined."

Out of nowhere something came close to me, before I could think better of it I pushed the blurry figure away. The blurry figure was Zoé...

No no no no, if she cries father won't let me go to Paris. I don't want to go those etiquette lessons!

I didn't wait one more second and covered Zoé's mouth with my hand.

"Don't touch me, okay?" Zoé nodded as if how I acted was normal and sprung up and talked more and more about her mom and Lila. I nodded and closed my eyes, I don't notice when the noise disappeared and I was covered by a blanket.

[Adrien's POV]

Lila is showing me how she makes her plushies, I've been trying to copy her but it's much harder then I thought it would be.

"That's really good Adrien." I stared down at the plushie I had made, it was ugly in comparison to Lila's which looked to be made by a professional.

"It's okay Lila, it's almost falling apart." I looked away from Lila and stared my... it was supposed to be a dog but it looks horrible!

Lila shook her head and took the... ugly thing away from me. "I'll fix it for you so that it's up to your standards, okay?"

I nodded and watched patiently as Lila worked. "Lila... if you weren't a model what would you have become?"

"Not sure, I just wanted to have people stare at me with adoration. So I chose something I believed would help me get there. But if I hadn't wanted that..." Lila stared down at her hands "I think I would've become a doll maker, since dolls are the perfect thing to gift to your loved ones."

Lila then handed me the doll plushie, I turned away from Lila as my face heated up and muttered to myself. "Loved ones..." Lila was smiling at me when I looked back up. "Am I one of your loved ones?" Lila nodded with a smile.

I smiled and hugged the dog plushy close to me "You're my beloved one too Lila." Lilas smile grew even wider as she hugged me. This must be what love is, love that convinces you to leave your parents like mom did for father!

[Chloe's POV]

All of Lila's classmate have been talking with me for a while know to find out stuff about Lila. I talked and talked about how I am Lila's best friend over everyone else in the world!

"Ah, Sabrina you are also my best friend. Don't forget that." Sabrina nodded as her forlorn face changed into that of a happy one.

In the back Alisa looked away from us. She was sitting all alone. Just then a lackey ran over to me.

"Why are you on Lila's side she's a complete and utter bully!?"

I stared at him and then smiled "When did this bullying happen? Who was bullied? And do you have evidence. If you have the answers for every single one of these questions let's converse. If not you can go ahead and leave."

The dumb girl scoffed but thankfully walked off as the bell rang. I got up and walked to my class. I spotted that girl named Marinette. "What do you think of Lila?"

Marinette looked up at me and stared down at her notebook. "I don't really know her, but from what I know of her through interviews she seems pretty nice. I also like drawing her in different outfits."

She rambled on and on and opened her notebook. I snatched the book out of her hand and she immediately stopped rambling. I flipped through the notebook and found some of Adrien and Lila together.

I chewed on the inside of my cheek. They really do look cute together. I closed the notebook and handed it back to Marinette. "They're cute. Next time you see Lila you should show her, she might like them."

I turned around and walked into the classroom with her chasing after Sabrina and me. I'll be cleaning this place up so that Lila can come to school without any worries... after that I'll talk to her about how I feel.

Chapter Text

I ask for one thing…. One thing! No hiding from press on my birthday and as we leave the house to buy cake we’re hounded.

My mom sighs as I pout and simply order something online as I answer questions about my birthday. I’m now temporarily the oldest of all my friends

Either way I ended up posting a picture showing that i’m officially 12… wow it never hit me how young I really am now… I mean in two years Gabriel’s going to come up with the idea to start attacking Paris just to let his wife open her eyes…

Mom and dad hugged me tightly as they spoke in unison. “Make a wish!”

I wish for happiness upon my family, but most of all I wish for everything to stay as simply as it is now, no matter how unrealistic that is.

Chapter Text

“Lila! This is the house we’ve been thinking of buying. What do you think?” The house was bigger than the one in the show, it truly feels like you’ve entered the upper class in France.

“Yeah! This is a good one!”

Thank god you live in Europe, you won’t have to deal with the annoying passport struggles.

Over the next few months you spent your time increasing skills, gaining miraculous and trying your hardest to stay off of everyone’s radar while practicing with miraculous.

Today was a more normal day then others. You would model for Audrey’s brand as a new citizen of France. You were popular in France as well but not enough to beat Agreste sales.

After the photoshoot you would meet Adrien’s cousin, Felix.

This album of photos were mostly about you moving to France and having fun facts in it about you.

Ever since Audrey caught you making plushies she asked you to make one for the photoshoot.

You just made a butterfly that you placed on your head. Audrey decided to add to that and make you wear an outfit that would move in the wind.

This was the most fun you had had in photoshoots in a while. After everyone finished you walked over to Audrey and your mother with a smile and handed the plushy over to Audrey.

“Do you think this could be like… merchandise?”

Audrey stared at my plushy and nodded. “It’s really well made and if you make them yourself they’ll be limited edition but the most of them will be factory made. Do you want to make more for limited edition?”

You nodded and stared at the plushy as you muttered about making more plushies in the future as gifts.

Out of nowhere yo heard footsteps come towards the three of you. A boy that looked identical to Adrien smiled towards me. You smiled and waved and then turned back towards Audrey.

“Is he supposed to be here?”

“Adrien? Of course.”

You looked back towards the boy, even though nothing should logically give it away you knew on a conscious level that this had to be Felix.

“It’s nice to meet you, are you Adrien’s nephew?” After you asked this question everyone on set quieted down. Then the actual Adrien appeared from around the corner as you continued to stare at Felix.

“Your name is Felix, right?” Felix’ smile was creepy but quickly turned into a childish one.

“Yep! It’s nice to meet you! They confused me for Adrien and just let me in so I went along with it!”

Adrien was by now standing next to Felix “Felix! You know lying isn’t a good thing!” Felix simply laughed and waved Adrien away. “Yeah, yeah, anyways my name is just as you said, Felix! She’s done now, right?”

Felix looked up at Audrey but you simply stared at him and Adrien. “Yeah i’m done! Let’s go to Adrien’s house!” You brought your arms up as if you were excited about leaving.

Adrien copied you with a confused look as Felix laughed due to Adrien’s expression.

“Your room is just as big as the last time I came here!” Adrien stared at you with one raised eye brow as he sat down on his bed.

“You were here a few months ago.” You laughed as you finally spotted your plushies. You smiled and then looked away as you wandered around just for the fun of it.

As you walked around you finally thought of something for you all to do “How about we play a game on your big tv?” Felix nodded but still turned towards Adrien as he went off his bed and walked towards us.

The three of you went on to play different kinds of game, multiplayer, 1v1s, even Tetris.

Adrien sighed while looking at the clock. We had been allowed to play games for 45 minutes only. Adrien know had to leave, he left his own room with a smile as he walked off.

As soon as he did the atmosphere between Felix and you changed from kind to suspicious of each other. “Lila! How did you get to meet Adrien?” Felix leaned closer while he smiled, a smile that was so picture perfect it was abnormal in this situation.

“Adrien and me had been modelling a scene for a picnic photo shoot! After that we played two player card games. Why are you asking, Felix?”

Felix smiled the perfect smile again as he seemed to imbue Adrien’s unlimited kindness with only fake kindness. “I was just wondering if your relationship was real after all.”

‘Ah, he wishes to see if I’m like Chloe.’ You looked up towards the ceiling and pulled a pondering face as you answered “I think it’s real! I mean there’s no reason for us to be pretending for so long.”

Felix nodded as something gleamed inside his eyes. His voice turned more bland as he spoke no longer attempting to appeal to anyone around “Why are we both pretending? I mean Adrien doesn’t really care about you, he even complained about the quality of those plushies you bought.”

Your face turned neutral as you spoke “Ah, how embarrassing, I made those myself. I wasn’t sure about what to get him since buying something feels so lazy when he could just buy it himself.”

Felix rolled his eyes as he grabbed the cat plushy and searched for proof that it was bought. This was of course impossible and so he placed it down and turned around wearing a shocked face.

“Oh I’m so sorry Lila, I lied about that. I-I just was so annoyed you bought him something so cheap out of laziness while he swooned over how much he liked them.”

His voice…. You couldn’t tell if he was mocking you or serious but there was no use theorising about it. You smiled at the thought of Adrien swooning over the plushies. “Really? I’m so glad! There I was freaking out when you said he hated them.”

Felix sat down and didn’t pay attention as his sleeve rode up his arm showing imperfections. They didn’t look self made, no they looked like they were made by someone else… you looked away as you pondered about who it could be.

‘Émilie is still alive so it’s no one with Agreste as their last name nor is it someone working for them. Nor can it be Amelie since she would even hide him from Ladybug and Chat noir to protect him... So wh-‘

Your eyes widened as you remembered Felix’ father. In Felix’ play he was described as an abusive bastard… but to leave easily found marks is idiotic.

“You saw didn’t you?” You turned towards Felix’ voice as you nodded he stared at his wrist for a few minutes and then grumbled something under his voice as he rolled his eyes. “No matter how horrible he is I’m forced to love him.”

You stare in front of you, you had nothing you could say… at least in this life your family life is perfect. “Wanna play games again? This time we won’t have to switch over and over so that everyone can play equally.”

Felix stared at you for a while but nodded as he grabbed one of the controllers as you grabbed the other.

“May I win” is all you said as Felix nudged you in the side with his elbow.

[Lila’s pov]

I waved goodbye to the Agreste family and walked into the limousine Audrey brought.

“Lila, you’re going to be interviewed and talk about what happened. Are you prepared?”

I nodded and stared in front of me this will be a turning point and can be used as evidence in the court trial.

[The hidden title Liar has activated. Lies come easy to you and can not backfire.]

The interview went smoothly, I made sure I sounded slightly nervous and avoided mentioning names but sometimes “stumbled” upon some names.

“I-I don’t know why Ali- I mean that girl, dislikes me… since we haven’t even spoken that much. I still believe this hasn’t ruined my school experience since all my classmates believe in me.”

The interview was ended pretty quickly after that. I stood up and waved towards the audience. I left and was immediately surrounded by paparazzi who asked who it is who was treating me so horribly.

Audrey simply exited and yelled at everyone, I avoided making eye contact and quickly walked towards the car as more and more pictures were taken of me. The car had tinted windows which was perfect, I entered the car I wiped my face and sent a message to Felix.

I put my phone away as Audrey entered the car and spoke with me about appearances. I nodded along as we drove to my house. “Don’t worry, she won’t make it anywhere! I’ll make sure of it!”

I nodded and smiled slightly my emotions weren’t in it, but I needed to show Audrey the appreciation. I closed my eyes and started thinking about the miraculous I had. I’ve decided that I’m going to make friends and hand some of them out! While Hades is powerful I wish to be seen as someone that isn’t feared.

I should probably go with Zeus he screams leader and confidence. Should I or should I not give them to Adrien, Chloe and Felix? They’re supposed to get their own miraculous. Now should they know it was me or should they not know. I pouted and closed my eyes as I sat in the back as I wondered what I should do not even noticing that I had arrived home.

“We’re here!” I snapped my eyes open and saw my house I smiled and exited the car. And waved towards Audrey with a smile she nodded as the chauffeur drove off with her. I entered my house and saw that no one was home.

I ran to my room and pulled out my phone to call Felix again. We chatted for a while as he told me of a friend he had made. It took me a while but I caught on that friend was Zoé!… I wonder what Zoé thinks of me. As I wondered this the conversation naturally turned to what Zoé thought of me as he “complained” that Zoé was obsessed with me.

We laughed for a while, I stared at my system and opened up the miraculous to stare at them. “Felix… silly question but what do you think of the Greek gods?”

Felix was silent for a while before he sighed. “The only ones I care for are Hestia, Hades and Persephone. I like Hades and Persephone’s relationship and how all three of them treat their children is beautiful, Why?”

I laughed it off and ignored his question, I’m sure he’ll remember this conversation when I give him his miraculous but for now he would let it go. “We’re going to go to court in a few days with Alisa… I’m not even sure if she read those papers but I hope she comes. I- I want this to be over quickly.”

Felix hummed on the other side of the phone and comforted me until we hung up since Felix’ father was calling him.

I pulled out the miraculous box and thought of Zeus’ miraculous which was a golden eagle much larger then I had expected. Instead of 10 centimeters he was instead 13 cm.

“You’re the size of a baby eagle now that I think about it.” The kwami glared at me amd batted his wings as he said, “My name is Peri! So use it!” I nodded and talked about the trial that would be coming up. “Don’t think about that! This country is unnaturally safe! You should go out and protect people so that they will pray to me!”

I nodded and stared to the sky. “I’ll do that! But I’m not sure if the government will be happy about me interfering with the law.”

“What does it matter? As long as you stick to the law, they can’t do anything!” I nodded and asked my dad to pick up a book about French laws. I lied on my bed and put the earrings in. Peri smiled and sat down on my head.

I opened up the system and scrolled through inactive titles.

I pouted as I stared at them, with those skills I could make sure I could help people efficiently and hurt no one. Until a light bulb turned on for me.

I summed the miraculous box and summoned Athena’s miraculous. The owl
kwami who is named Athens stares at me while she pouts as I tell them about my plan, when I finished my explanation they nod along excitedly

“Athens transform moi!”

The light faded away from me and I stood in Greek armour but instead of gold it seemed to be silver. My pendant glowed and became bigger before turning into a gorgonian shield that is attached to my arm. I had the tail of an owl which peeked out from the skirt to just below my kneecaps. I also wore a silver helmet which my forehead but revealed the majority of my face.

(I did so much math to figure out if the tail would be seen or not.)

I stared at my hands and watched them glow and out of it appeared a phone.

!!Congratulations!!
You’ve gained the skill:
(High medium) Mechanic: (60%)
-since this skill was gained though the help of a miraculous it has been raised exponentially. This skill can now only be levelled through the solo effort of the user.

I nodded and stared down at the phone. “Athens detransform moi” the light faded away and I was back to being me.

I sucked in a breath and stared at the phone that didn’t disappear or dissolve. And so I used the skills knowledge and scoured the house for stuff to disassemble and reassemble the phone over and over until I actually understood what I was doing. Athens flew off and muttered something about going to eat some of the fresh fish in the fridge.

I smiled and ran into the kitchen to disassemble the toaster. I was midway when my dad came home I tried to hide the crime scene but it was too late.

“Cessy I’m ho-!” He just stared at me as I tried to hide the toaster. “Cesire Lila Rossi what have you done?” I stared down at the toaster as my smile wavered “I… uhm, disassembled the toaster.”

“Why did you disassemble the toaster?”

“T-too figure out how it works…I-I’m sorry…”

My dad sighed and patted my head. “I love you, but this is not okay.” I nodded as he stared down at the toaster “can I at least finish?”

He nodded “but only do this when one of us is home, I don’t want you to get hurt.” I nodded again as I fully disassembled and then reassembled the toaster as my father breathed down my neck.

When I looked at my skill I saw it only went up by one level… it seems this is going to take a while.

Chapter Text

"Athens can you teach me how you decide the designs of your creations?" Athens nodded with a smile and started to explain. "It starts with a purpose, what is troubling you and how can you make it, which makes it that what troubles you disappears! After that you have to start brainstorming, what kind of objects can fulfil a part of the roll and why can they? How do they work and why do they work? What was their purpose?"

I nodded along and searched for my notebook to write down the advice.

"Then there's what you want it to look like and if the desired look will stand in the way of its purpose! An example of this is wind turbines, they were made for one purpose and the designers did not care for the look of them, besides that they're incredibly loud! It's why you humans tend to complain when it is placed close to your homes. The creations I make will always have either a gold embellishment or they are made of gold. Besides that what I create are mostly made for war, war practices, battles or spars! Your creations when you are not transformed tend to be just about anything, while I can help through being the representation of Athena I am not Athena herself, I represent the god of knowledge and so I can access it but I have na experience with making objects outside of the domain of war, do you understand?" Athens had floated higher and higher as he explained but his voice did not become less clear.

I nodded along and simply wrote

, Athens squinted while staring at what I wrote down and then looked at me, he pouted for a little while but eventually he let me get away with it. I smiled while staring up at Athens.

"Thanks for teaching me Athens! I've learned a lot."

Athens nodded like a proud teacher and started to brag "Of course you've learned a lot! I was teaching you!" He nodded some more as I stared up at him with a smile.

Chapter Text

"No" I stared at Audrey as she yet again said no to the dress I was wearing. The worst part is that my mother fully agreed to this method! I sighed and yet again entered the changing room to put on the next dress.

About an hour ago we came hear to pick a dress, at first I believed Audrey would make me wear her brand but instead of that she's making me wear the Gabriel Agreste brand. I might hate the way Gabriel treats Adrien but for now he still has fashion sense!

"Audrey, could you please tell me what's wrong with the dresses?"

"They clash with your established aesthetic! They are not my style. They simply put make you look too dull! You are going to be the star of the show!

...

"Audrey, the dress has to be white so wouldn't s flower girl like dress be good enough?"

"Yes! This is why I prefer you over my own children!"

Audrey walked back through the store as I smiled towards my mother in the weird mermaid dress I was made to wear. "I hope Chloe's having fun picking a dress."

My mother smiled towards me in an attempt of comfort but it didn't work. Audrey is a complicated women but the things she says... if I had a worse family life i might have clinged to her for affection. Now that is a scary thought.

I stood there for a while in my thoughts untill Audrey came back with two flower girl-esque dresses that she both approved. My mother ended up picking the first one due to the flowers on the ribcage. I smiled thinking of finally going home only for Audrey to start prattling on about jewellery, I mean she has given me multiple to reuse but now she insist I need new ones.

"This is your first time at the ball! You must look immaculate! They must have the shine that nee jewellery has!"

I nod and go sit next to my mom as Audrey talks for hours with Audrey. I didn't even notice it but I fell asleep on my mother's lap.

When I woke up my mom was arguing with Audrey. "There's no way she can go now she has to be their for Felix!"

.

.

.

Oh yeah.... Felix's dad is dead by the time cannon appears. Emilie's going to fall into a coma soon. Or has it already happened?

"Lila let's go." Mom took my hand and walked off, I turned to look towards Audrey but she seems to be calling with someone. I wonder how Felix is?

Chapter Text

They’ve just left me in my room. I’m not allowed to call, They keep talking and whispering… they won’t even truly look at me.
I stare at my phone wanting to call but I just don’t… should I call Lila or Chloe. I fell disloyal, in fact I feel disgusting

[Lila’s POV]

Adrien called me whilst crying since Gabriel won’t let him go to the funeral and he’a no allowed to talk to his mom either. “Felix will hate me! I can’t even ask someone to apologizse for me since no one is allowed to go!”
“I’m allowed to go.”
“Really! Then could you tell Felix-

•
•
•

“And that’s what he wanted me to tell you Felix. Chloe made this picture of the sunset and wrote a note on the back.”

Their was silence on the other side of the door. “I’m not sure if I should say condolences or congrats “

I have never seen Felix move that fast one second i’m outside of his room and the next I’m inside his room. Felix’s hands we’re balled into my shirt hiding me tight and making me look him in the eyes. “Just… leave me alone… okay Lila?” His eyes were… not dark persay but he looked so… done.

“Okay” I put my hands up as an extra way to show him I meant no harm. When he let me go I took a step back and he turned around. His room was fancy, you could really tell we we’re no longer in France.

In just two days Felix’s dad is going to be in the dirt.

Chapter Text

Felix won’t talk with me unless his mother is around! I mean I understand wanting to grief a man you hate but ignoring me is just mean!! Which is why I have made a drastic decision!

“You really shouldn’t be using us!! You’re far too young! How about you approach that older man you spoke of for teaching?”

“I have no time for this! I need to make it up to Felix in anyway I can… I need him to see that I’m his friend but he just won’t listen

“With how he’s acting taken into consideration do you really think he’ll want to talk with a stranger?”

I stewed with my emotions as I took Hades’ kwami’s words into true and full consideration. He’s different then Athens him and Persephone fully believe they are the gods they represent, but Athens claims they are not… I have so many questions for them but I also know today isn’t the day that they’ll get answered.

“He might talk with me if I have you with me”

“What…?”

-__- ^ - ^(￣∇￣)(￣∇￣)^ - ^-__-
!!!!Intermission time!!!!

Felix layed in his room glaring out the window as he murmured out curses. Towards who was unknown to me, I knocked but he didn’t hear and so I opened the door.

“Felix!~”

“Leave me alone” He sounded sad a kind of voice hours of practice or real sadness was needed for. I stared at him for a while and so I sat down in front of the door. “I have a gift for you. I can’t explain it entirely and I know there’s nothing I can say to get rid of your feelings but… actions speak louder then words! And so i’m… letting you in to… a secret of mine.”

Only then did Felix look at me he walked up with a glare in his eyes. I showed him a box. Black with gold accent symbols on it that I truly couldn’t comprehend. He squinted and then opened the box inside was a choker pointed and sharp and it glowed.

Felix didn’t scream he simply roughly threw the box away. “Hey! Don’t hurt him! He doesn’t deserve that!” As the box hit the wall it opened

“It’s alright master he is fear of me is logical since he does not know enough of me.” Out came hades with a serene face. “He cold also jot bring permanent damage to me by… simply throwing me against a wall we miraculi are a lot more durable.”

I heaved out a sigh of relief before picking up Hades and his spiked collar. “Felix o gift you this power to do good. Tho I’ll accept if you do neutral actions as well.” Felix stared me as I offered the collar again.

“What the hell is that thing” the face he pulled the way his shoulders pulled together. “It is a miraculous or in simpler words it’s magic jewelry you wear it and say the magic words and then you have powers. Depending on your relationship with the kwami you’ll-

“Pause! What is a kwami” Felix interrupted me, he didn’t shout but he seemed on the being of freaking out.

“A magical animal that is linked to the magic jewelry. There are different kinds of sets of jewelry. Mine belong to the Greek pantheon. That there is hades”

Hades smiled towards and waved whilst floating around Felix’s room. While they referred to themselves as Hades they looked more like the hound named Cerberus.

“Now then back to what I was saying, magic jewelry have a kwami, if you have a deep bond with your kwami’s you take on some it’s traits. Greater relationship greater effects.”

Felix nodded and stared down at the collar not saying anything. “This is also my horribly apology to you as well as an olive branch. I want to stay friends with you but you keep pushing me away. So I thought I tell you a big secret I haven’t even told my parents and you might… do the same.” After saying all that I tried for a smile, it was awkward and there was no confidence behind it.

Felix squinted towards me, he kept opening and then closing his mouth and then he spoke. “I thought… if he was gone I would feel the way Adrien seems to feel everyday… happy or at least calm, now I’m just frustrated. Everything’s changed but it feels like nothing’s changed at all.” He seemed on the bring of screaming out his frustration’s before he looked towards the door and pulled himself back.

“You have the perfect life with the perfect family and on top of that you’re a magical girl. It felt like I had to make you leave before you just randomly disappeared from life one day. I mean Adrien’s already abandoned me and Chloe will leave right after him.”

I shook my head vehemently at that. “No way! She isn’t just friends with you because of Adrien! Sure that’s why we all met but we’ve all gotten so much closer! You’re so much more than just Adrien’s cousin. You’re one of my best friends.”

Yet again he stared at me staring into my eyes as if he’s desperate to see that I’ve lied or told the truth… I don’t know but I stared back. “I mean I get why you pulled away. I do have a… nicer life than you in the sense that my parents love me and people like me. But Amelie loves you just as much as my parents do if not more! And people also like you we all have the same friends! You might even have more!”

He stared at me with a face as if he could tell I was lying whilst I was telling only the truth. I closed my eyes and gathered myself “all my classmates are more acquaintances then friends I’ve known them for a few months almost a year… but they don’t actually know anything about me. There’s only Chloe, Adrien and you.”

“Also I’m trying to invite you to my…” I cringe openly before I said my next words “magical world” I shook my hands as I said that it’s a strained smile. Felix looked at me with a frown in between his eyebrows and then

He broke out laughing. I joined him in the laughing and then tears streamed from his face, the floodgates came out and then he just cried and cried. I put the miraculous back in its box and pushed it to the side ignoring Hades’ slight yelp as he was pulled into it.

Before I could do anything else Amelie came bursting into the room. Felix didn’t look up but he did lean into the hug I smiled and then hid the box inside his drawer. If he truly didn’t want he could give it back. I smiled towards Amelie and Felix before leaving the room and entering the living room my phone rung and on the other line was Chloe I picked excited to tell Felix and I made up.

“Lila… could we talk for a short while.”

Chapter Text

I smiled and said yes before walking over to the couch. “Sure, what’s wrong?” “Well I managed to book an advertisement under a pseudo name! That finally proves I really have talent! I of course got into a movie thanks to auntie Emilie it’s called [last movie she was in]. I’m super excited!”

I gave Chloe my congratulations and she smiled so brightly. But her face became more somber “I.. I’ve been feeling kind of jealous of you. You’re my best friend really but Adrien and you get to hang out all the time and even now that I’m acting I feel so small in comparison to you. I don’t like it.”

“Thank you for telling me Chloe, I wish I was in Paris so we could actually meet up and talk but… I never meant to make you feel like that. I’m sure you know that but I should still tell you that…. I’m sorry for hurting you.”

“It’s okay you didn’t know I just… I’ve had a crush on Adrien for so long but he doesn’t really look at me. He just sees me as his childhood friend. Sometimes I wish I could take your place and other times I wish I could take Adrien’s place or even Felix’ I just… I want to feel closer to all of you. I thought if I became an actor I would be but nothing’s really changed…”

I stared up at the ceiling leaning further into the couch. “How about this, after the funeral I’ll come visit. I mean I’m going to be transferred into your class.”

Chloe chuckled slightly before responding “You already have been transferred in. You just haven’t been to school. First it was the lawsuit and now Felix’ dad at this point you’ll have no clue what any of the rest are about!”

We laughed for a little bit and I stared up. The system hasn’t given me any task to try and worsen or better Chloe’s relationship with Adrien. So that makes it my decision. “You know since you’re going to be in the same movie as Adrien’s mom you might be able to use that to be invited over.”

I could feel Chloe’s excitement after hearing me say that so I continued. “Adrien and I can only talk on the phone these days…. Felix was kind of locking himself away so when this is all over could you try and talk with him. I’m not sure why but he seems to think we don’t really like him because of… y’know”

Chloe hummed before responding “I’ll do everything I can to solidify our friendship! I’ll make sure to improve it for sure! Thanks for talking with me Lila, talking about this with you really cheered me up. I’m not sure if I’ll ever confess… I could hint at it but Adrien’s dad… I don’t think he really likes me, he just likes my mom and my dad.”

I nodded and we talked for a little while longer about our own lives and what we were aspiring to become. “I believe in you Chloe, you’re going to become the biggest actress yet!”

Relationships… now that I think about… system you said you would inform if I would be treated differently! You didn’t at all!

Ah, I seem to have failed you… I have no excuse for my failure. Do you wish for me to be replaced with another system or barter for a gift to forgive me for this failure.

Barter! I want the barter one! I want to be able to use miraculous without a time limit.

That is far too wide a gift for something that didn’t bring you grave harm.

Okay then… just my miraculous!

I will discuss with… my creator but I believe this can be granted. For now I can give you unlimited use of one miraculous. Which one should it be?

“Zeus’ miraculous”

Understood. The time limit to Zeus’ miraculous has been removed.

And so I spent my time training and spreading rumours about the miraculi and of course training. Ir more majorly meeting Adrien’s future girlfriend, Kagami! Meeting her took multiple months. First of all her mother used to be an Olympian and Kagami is her heiress she’s travelling around for fencing competitions.

I watched my parents converse with Tomoe Tsurugi before I even walked into the room. I bowed my head slightly “Thank you Miss Tsurugi for allowing your protégé to teach me fencing.” She was blind but somehow it still felt like she stared at me.

“I have heard good things about you from Gabriel and Emilie… I hope you do not disappoint.” I nodded along as she spoke. I didn’t know much about her maybe they divulged more about her later on in the show.

Kagami walked into the room with red fencing gear I was wearing white fencing gear and when I saw her I similarly thanked her for teaching me with a slight bow but she ignored it. “Let us begin.”

She stood next to me and started teaching me about Épée. Épée is one of the three disciplines of fencing. Épée and foil are point thrusting, sabre is both point thrusting and slashing.

I had read ahead but feeling the weight of a mock épée is still heavier then expected. “The real thing is heavier you will have to train more wrist control.” Kagami’s teaching were more full of her correcting my posture then anything.

Even so my skill in fencing improved so I was happy. “That’s it.” I turned towards Miss Tsurugi she was standing with a specially made walking stick. Kagami stood straight and I thanked her again. She nodded “You are improving well soon enough me sparring with you will serve as teaching even if they will end quickly.”

I nodded along and stood up with a smile on my face. Remembering my face guard I took it off and smiled towards Kagami. Kagami… tried to smile back but it was awkward more teeth then smile.

Miss Tsurugi slammed her walking stick then and Kagami nodded before going to the changing room. “Thank you again for this, Miss Tsurugi.” She nodded before turning away from me and looking towards my mother she was on call a lot recently I mean she tended to be all the time as an embassy but the amount has increased recently.

I waited for my congratulations from my system, but I heard nothing. Recalling my previous conversation with the system I sighed and then also went to the changing room. Kagami was already starting to leave having put on a uniform I’d didn’t recognise.

“I hope we can be friends Kagami.” She stared back at me blinked and then responded “I would like that too I will converse with my mom about us meeting more my schedule and yours are incredibly packed as it is.”

I nodded already seeing some of my break days being taken by fencing practice. “Until next time Kagami” Kagami smiled back and then walked off. I fiddled with my miraculous and came up with a plan to get well known.

“Zeus let’s go solve some mysteries…. Well you’ll be solving and I’ll be putting our hero signature.”

Zeus will be the perfect investigator he can’t be filmed or recorded by electronics and he can go through objects! As we solve mysteries detectives and the police will know of us. “Though first I’ll have to make you an audio recorder that can also go through walls… Athens!! I need your help!”
