Lady Wifi

*******

"I'm ecstatic! I got kidnapped by an akuma and got to meet Ladybug and Chat Noir!" Whisper-shouted Alya.

"Are you seriously ignoring the fact that you almost got killed? And didn't you already meet them when Ivan was akumatised into Stoneheart?"

"Yes, but still! Also, did you see the amount of views I had gotten on that video? It hasn't even been a week and it's already has over 500,000!"

"Well, congratulations!"

"Thank you," she looked at the time on her tablet. "Hey, Marinette's been in the woman's room for quite a long time don't you think?"

, , I thought. Instead, I said, "Well it's that time of the month for her so..."

"Oh. Lucky me, mine ended a week ago, but even so, she's been in there for almost an hour."

"You can never know what happens, right?"

Alya shrugged as I hid my relief. I hate how blind everyone in this show is as much as the next miraculous fan, but their blindness does help.

The bell rang.

"Tonight, I want everyone to read chapter 3 of the Breathtaking France: the First Thousand Years, then, answer this simple questioner."

Before handing out the worksheet to the students behind us, Miss Bustier asked, "Is Marinette still in the girl's room?"

"Um, I don't know miss,"

"Whatever the case, please see to that Marinette receives her homework?"

"Of course Miss Bustier," I answered while Alya nodded her head.

Alya and I walked out of the classroom with our classmates following behind.

"Can you help me find Marinette? We need to give her the homework."

We searched the whole school but to no avail. I wasn't really putting much effort in, since I knew where Marinette really was.

"Where is that girl?"

"She could become a magician with that disappearing act of hers," I joked.

"You think she's trying out for a play?"

As we passed by the locker room, Alya and I saw Chloe taking a Ladybug suit and yoyo out of her locker and into her bag.

Both of our eyes widened, for different reasons. Mine was because I realized that Lady Wifi is happening tomorrow, but not if I can help it.

After Chloe had left, Alya started to whisper-scream. "Oh My God, Yin! Did you see that? Chloe is Ladybug!"

I rolled my eyes, "Oh, you mean that Ladybug merch she probably got from a fancy designer store? Then, yes, I did see that."

"I finally figured out who Ladybug is!"

"Alya, do you hear yourself right now? If Chloe's Ladybug, then I'm the next Miss Universe!"

"That's not impossible."

"I-, this is an inappropriate time to give compliments. You've met Ladybug, twice! I've even met her with you! She's so different from Chloe!"

"She could be acting!"

"Yeah, right. Besides, how are you going to explain the different hair colors? And their voice?"

"She could be wearing a wig, and their voices sound the same to me!"

You know how I said that I'm somewhat grateful for the blindness of the characters? Yeah, forget everything I said.

*Ding*

Alya took her phone out of her book bag after getting notified from the ring tone.

"Look! Chloe just left, didn't she? She probably went to save Paris!"

She pointed to the news broadcast on her phone excitedly. 

I sighed. Tapping Alya's phone screen, I pulled the play button back to the start.

"See? Ladybug's been there for an hour now, Chloe was in class with us the whole time. Unless she has a doppelganger, there's no way she's Ladybug!"

"I guess your right..."said Alya with a disappointed face. "I really thought I finally figured it out!"

"Hey, look on the bright side. If Chloe really was Ladybug, we'd all be dead by now."

"That's it! I know a way to really find out whether or not Chloe's Ladybug! Please tell me you'll help!"

"Depends, what's your plan?"

"Okay, so..."

********

"I can't believe I agreed to this," I groaned.

Whatever it was that Alya had suggested, I was sure that I could refuse, but when I refused to help her, good old Hawk Moth decided to send an akuma to 'help' Alya get over the fact that no one trusts her.

I even had to phone Marinette so that Ladybug could devilize the akuma.

"C'mon girl, don't mess up your lines."

Sighing, I walked towards Chloe, who was looking for something in her locker, with a spy pen tucked in my shirt and tapped her shoulder.

"Ugh, don't touch me!"

"Sorry, Chloe." I love sarcasm.

"Well, what do you want?"

"I just wanted to thank you once again for funding the birthday party we threw for Adrien."

"I know, I'm amazing. But don't mistaken, I've already told you that I won't help you with your other ridiculous plans, I only help that time because of my Adrikins."

"Yeah, but I still wanted to thank you." I tried moving closer to her locker. If Alya wasn't satisfied with the footage, she'll probably ask me to do it again and I just want to get this over with.

"I heard you the first time, now move!" She slammed her locker shut. "I have a class to go to."

Alya hurried beside me after Chloe and her sidekicks left, "Thank you so much, now give me the pen!"

I gave it to her, "Shh, not so loud. And remember our agreement, only check it when you get home. We don't want Chloe to find out-"

"Or else she'll cause a big fuss over it and Mister Damocles will have no choice but to suspend us because Chloe's father is the mayor, I know."

I smiled, "Good. Now should we wait for Marinette to make her grand entrance or head to class?"

********

 Seeing what had happened this morning, I thought that Alya wouldn't be akumatised. But the girl was just too impatient, so she decided to view the footage. Sabrina had caught her and ratted her out to Chloe and the rest played out like I predicted.
