Shut Up! (And Dance)

You woke up exited, the dress really made you want to show it off!

You get up and get ready for the day, do some school work, when you suddenly realize, you don't have any shoes that would match the dress.

So you quickly rummage through the closet until you find a pair of black, beat-up sneakers.

"Purrfect!" You whisper to yourself, Cat Noir's puns have been rubbing off on you.

You take the sneakers and color the tips gray, just like Cat's boots.

You admire your work and check the time. 3 PM.

Still about four hours before you'd need to get ready.

You go to the kitchen and make a snack, then take it back to your room, and finish the school for today.

By the time you've finished everything it's 6:30.

You decide to play on your phone for a while, so you get on Pinterest.

A image of Cat Noir appears, and you notice something.

His ears, you should have a pair of cat ears!

You go to your art supplies and find some black felt, and a black headband, no time to go buy some.

You quickly cut out triangles and glue them onto the headband, they actually look really good.

Now it's time to get ready, so you take a shower, put on the dress, apply some make-up, and do your hair in a fancy way.

You set your homemade cat ears upon your head, and put on your newly repurposed sneakers, and go out after telling your parents bye, and about fifty pictures.

You were making your way downtown, there was a ton of people in costume out, kids, teens, and adults alike, most dressed up.

When you got to the Bougouis Hotel there was a huge line.

You had to wait for at least 20 minutes to get in.

Finally, you got inside the doors and glanced around, it looks pretty cool.

There was cobwebs, coffins, bats hanging from the ceiling, orange and black streamers, and pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere.

You scan the crowd, seeing plenty of red and black spots among many other things.

Finally you catch sight of what you were looking for: the food.

There's cookies, cakes, and tons of other things, all Halloween themed.

As you walk toward the table that holds all the delicious looking food, you notice most people are crowded into one side of the room.

You get a cookie and walk over to investigate, soon seeing what all the commotion is about.

Ladybug is there, dressed as a baker.

You don't see Cat Noir anywhere though, maybe he's not here yet.

You spot your best friend, dressed as a character from her favorite show, at the food table, so you go back over.

"Hey bff/n!"

"Hey y/n! Or should I say Cat Noir?" she says with a playful wink.

You laugh and say "Just y/n, I haven't seen Cat yet, but Ladybug's over there." You nod towards the ever growing crowd.

"Ohh. How long have you been here?"

"Unless we count the eternity I stood in line, about fiveish minutes."

"Yeah, I haven't been here long either."

You nod and say, "So, did you bring a date? You never told me."

"Nope, flying solo. Hopefully I end up with a date before the night's over though!" She says with a goofy face.

"Good luck," You giggle.

"What about you? Didja snag somebody?"

"Nah, I basically only came for Cat Noir, he said he'd be bored and wanted a friend."

"Oohhh!" She makes a suggestive face at you and you laugh.

"I told you, we're not like that. Besides, he likes Ladybug."

"Oh right. Do you like him though?"

"I, um, I don't think so." Being put on the spot like that, you didn't really know what to say.

"So you do?"

"No, he's just a really good friend. That's all."

"Riigght..."

Before you can answer you hear "Um, hello, I couldn't help but notice your costume, I love that show! Would you like to dance?" Someone's asking bff/n to dance

"Well, how about that?" You wiggle your eyebrows at her as best as you can with the mask.

She laughs at you and agrees to dance with the stranger and leaves.

You just stand there, munching snacks when a door at the top of the staircase opens and out comes Cat Noir.

He stands there for a second, one hand in his pocket.

You laugh at his costume, an angel.

You think.

I survey the mass of people, noticing most people are either on the dance floor, or still crowding Ladybug.

I was there a few minutes ago, until she told me that my accessories were falling.

I look towards the food table, wondering how angry my father would be if he knew about all the junk food I'd be eating, when I see a girl who looks like she's staring at me, laughing.

From what I can tell, she has on a black dress, black mask, black cat ears, and some green thrown in.

She's dressed as me!

I saw plenty of Ladybugs, just as expected, but rarely was there a Cat Noir.

I wonder why she's laughing at me though?
