[006]

You were currently on your desk, working on your homework with Plagg bickering on your ear; already bored even though you're the one doing homework. "Can't you work on it later?" Groaning, he pulled your phone towards you—suggesting you guys could watch videos together instead. You let out a deep breath and met his gaze, shaking your head as you grab your phone back to put it on top of your desk.

A few moments afterward, your phone suddenly rang, startling you and the bored kwami beside you.

You checked your phone to see the caller id, but no one really did ever call you so your brows furrow in confusion as you see the caller id being Alya. Despite your confusion, you answered the call.

"Hello?" You answered.

"Hey girl! Are you coming to see the bet between Alix and Kim?"

You thought for a moment and glanced at your unfinished homework on the desk, already worn out. Why not take a small break?

"Sure, at what time?" You asked, ignoring the offended gasp that came from the kwami.

—

"What you did was simply outrageous, outright, deceitful, fake!" Shouting, he watched you put stuff inside your small bag.

You let out an amused laugh as you saw him eat his cheese in anger. "Sorry, but a bet? It may be interesting."

"Right. Just say you wanted to see them fight or something, that would be more convincing."

You continued laughing as you put your bag over your shoulders, already heading downstairs to go to the park.

—

When you got to the park, you already spotted your friends. Smiling, you walked up to them and greeted them.

"Hey, y'all."

Nino, Adrien, and Alya turned to face you with a wide smile on their faces. "Who are you betting for?" Alya asked instantly, eyes shining in excitement. You honestly weren't really familiar with either of the two so you didn't know who to side with. But hearing the crowd mutter the name "Alix" constantly, you decided to stick with her. You were also really biased with women.

"Uh..I don't know? Maybe Alix."

That seemed to be the best choice as they were all agreeing, smiling almost painfully. You laughed quietly as they conversed with each other.

After a few minutes, Marinette finally showed up. Out of breath as she brought out her banner she personally made, presenting it to all of you with a smile on her face. You observed it in awe, already noticing that it had both Alix and Kim on it. Something you liked about Marinette is that she never really left anyone out, one of her best qualities.

"You're crazy talented, Marinette. It's gorgeous." You complimented with a small yet genuine smile on your face.

She laughed softly as she looked at you adoringly.

Suddenly, Kim appeared with Max beside him. "You're cheering for the wrong person, it seems. Alix isn't even showing up! Probably too much of a chicken to even come here." He remarked, a cocky grin on his face.

"Spoke too soon, Kim." Alix interrupted as she skated towards him, making you all face her. "Your ridiculous bets are over. I'm gonna leave you on the dust, meathead."

"You're no match for me, my neck's bigger than your thigh." He fought back.

Um, is that like a good thing or?

As if Alya voiced your thoughts she spoke up, whispering to you and the blunette beside her. "Is that supposed to be a good thing?"

"Right?" You laughed, Marinette and Alya also laughing along with you.

Max appeared between the two, pushing them away from each other. "Let's review the rules. Two laps around the fountain; approximately five hundred yards. The first one over the line wins! If Kim wins, Alix has to give him her skates. If Alix wins, Kim will be prohibited to make any more dares for the rest of the year!" He explained.

Feeling like someone was looking at you, you turned your gaze to your left. Only having a single glance at Marinette staring at you, immediately snapping her gaze somewhere else when you caught on; humming softly to herself as she tried acting like she wasn't looking at you to begin with.

"On your marks, get set.."

"Hold up!" Alix yelled stopping Max's call, causing Kim to fall on his chin and the spectators to laugh.

"Forfeiting already?"

Rolling her eyes, she skated towards Alya; handing her a watch. "Hold it for me, will ya Alya? I don't want to drop it during the race."

Alya panicked as she looked down at the watch back to the girl in front of her. "Hold on girl, I can't! I gotta.."

"Guard it with your life, it's a family heirloom!" Yelling, she skated back towards the race.

"But..." after a few seconds, she shrugged and turned around to hand the watch to Marinette. "Marinette, take this. I gotta record this for the blog."

Noticing that she was already preoccupied with holding the banner you walked up to her, extending out your hand to hold the watch. "You can give it to me, Marinette. I'll hold it for you." You said.

You saw her cheeks tinted in pink as her lips parted, eyeing you with admiration. "Yes! Thanks! Gotta be careful! Even if you are amazing," she mumbled at the end, though you heard her perfectly.

"Thanks?" Smiling a little, you thanked her.

"...at holding things! In your hands!" She corrected, a panicked expression on her face.

You laughed as you headed back towards your original spot, sending her a small smile before you did. The watch on your hands seemed to catch the attention of Chloe as she wrapped her arms around your shoulder.

"N/n, whatcha got there? Some super old case or something?" Smirking, she snatched the watch from your hand and inspected it. You panicked as she held it carelessly.

"Don't start, Chloe. It's Alix's!"

She scoffed, "if it's Alix's then it's probably worthless." You scowled at her as you tried reaching for the watch again.

"Give it back to Y/n, Chloe."

Chloe only smiled as she shrugged, pressing her finger on the watch. Her shock from the inside made her drop the watch and onto where the race was held, making everyone stare at it in shock. Alix being unaware, skated all over the watch; crushing it. Your jaw dropped as you looked at it, already feeling like shit for it.

Alix's previous cheer came to a halt as she skated over to her now broken watch in dismay. She turned her head toward Alya, anger placed upon her features.

"Ugh, did you do this?!"

"Uh..well I had to record the race, so I handed it to Marinette but then she had to hold the banner so she handed it to Y/n, then Chloe snatched it from her, and then you uh, skated over it. Hehe.." she explained in a rush.

Alix only seemed to get more angered as she hugged the watch closer to her, jaw clenched. "My old man gave this to me for my birthday! This watch is totally a family heirloom!" Yelling, she slowly skated away. "You're all to blame."

She skated away more faster than before and you saw Marinette immediately go after her.

"Dramatic much? Anyway, let's get some ice cream together, n/n! Adrikins, you can obviously come too." Chloe says, making you roll your eyes.

You gave Adrien a glance, showing him a face that made him laugh quietly under his breath. His laughs suddenly turned into a gasp as he turned around, facing the akumatized villainess that suddenly approached you all.

"Run!"

You grabbed Adrien's arm, running towards a secluded area. Not looking behind, you guys stopped near the staircase already finding it empty. "Stay here, Adrien. I'll get some help." You commanded.

He hesitantly nods and you run further into a wall, and you checked around your surroundings to see if there were anyone around; fortunately there weren't.

"Already? Thought it was just going to be a small break." Groaning, Plagg flew from your small bag and in front of you.

"Yeah, not gonna lie me too." You muttered, already bringing your fist up, "Plagg, claws out."

Arriving on the scene, you see Myléne on the ground, slowly disappearing.

"One and half minutes. You won't be able to stop me to where I'm going, ladybug."

You tapped her shoulder using your staff, making her snap her attention onto you and off of ladybug. "Playing tag with everyone and you're it?" You questioned her sarcastically.

"Exactly."

"Don't let her touch you!" Ladybug yelled.

As the villainess ran at you, she tried grabbing you; which you successfully managed to dodge. "Try again, tagger." You provoked, cracking your fingers to show off how easily you avoided her.

You heard the villainess growl on the ground, but instead of attacking you again, she decided to run after Alya when she noticed her. Once she caught up to her, you heard Ladybug scream out in despair beside you, though you didn't think much of it.

Timebreaker skated away afterwards, you and ladybug following her behind but you guys stop when she gets too far ahead.

"Seems like she ain't wasting time."

"And the more people she freezes the more time she gets. Those poor kids frozen in time, they're goners if we don't get that akuma." Ladybug sympathized.

Ladybug immediately wrapped her yo-yo around Timebreaker's wrist to prevent her from touching Ivan, successfully pulling her back. "Keep your hands to yourself." Ladybug remarked.

As her yo-yo still remained on her wrist, the villainess took the opportunity to pull it, pulling ladybug towards her.

Your eyes widened as you saw the scene, your first instinct being to stand in front of her to prevent her from being touched. You hugged her as the villainess touched you, slowly disappearing shortly afterwards.

—

"N/n, whatcha got there? Some super old case or something?" Smirking, she snatched the watch from your hand and inspected it. You panicked as she held it carelessly.

"Don't start, Chloe. It's Alix's!"

She scoffed, "if it's Alix's then it's probably worthless." You scowled at her as you tried reaching for the watch again.

"Give it back to Y/n, Chloe."

"Chloe! Put the watch down!" Ladybug yelled from above you.

You all gasped as you watched the heroine, obviously startling you all when the villainess jumped down to meet you all.

Chloe dropped the watch you were meant to hold onto for the girl, making your jaw drop when you see it broken.

"NO!!" The villainess cried out. "It's your fault ladybug, I'll be sure to take care of you!"

Just as she cried out, Alix skated towards the broken watch with balled hands. "Ladybug..it's all ladybugs fault!"

When no one was looking, you ran away, trying to find a safe spot to transform.

"Already? Thought it was just going to be a small break." Groaning, Plagg flew from your small bag and in front of you.

"Yeah, not gonna lie me too." You muttered, already bringing your fist up, "Plagg, claws out."

Arriving on the scene, you landed next to ladybug. She immediately turned her head over her shoulder to face you.

"Glad you're here, I can't explain everything right now but we just have to capture Timebreaker's akuma. Your life depends on it."

You look at her in confusion for a moment but you nod nonetheless. "Got you, bug."

"Her akuma's in her rollerblades, aim for that." Ladybug commanded.

You guys jump out from your spot and land in front of two villainesses.

"Two? Am I hallucinating or?" You observed, though you were mumbling to yourself.

"I'd like to explain but no time." Ladybug answered.

Meanwhile you and ladybug spoke with one another, the two villainesses spoke together as well.

"The energy from these two will get us enough time to go further back in time." One said.

"I'd love to get my watch back, let's do it!" The other replied, a smirk placed on her lips.

Glancing at you, the heroine spoke. "Be careful, don't let them touch you."

The two Timebreakers launched at you guys, meanwhile you both did the same. You both fought your own timebreakers, successfully managing to knock them down.

"If we were faster, those bozos would be no match for us.

"Then let's get more energy first! Then we'll destroy them."

They both skated away, leaving you both confused. Though you both ran after them shortly afterwards. After they both got enough energy to catch up to you both, they stared chasing you both.

"We ain't making it!" Yelling, you get into a fighting stance to keep them from touching you.

Before they could get closer, a yo-yo appeared, causing them both to fall.

"Hey you two, need a hand?" The second ladybug said.

"Thanks." Smiling, ladybug thanked her clone.

Your jaw went slack as you glanced between the two. She jumped from above to land where you both were standing at, already facing the villainesses you were currently fighting.

You simply just stood there watching the two heroines communicating with each other in confusion, absolutely clueless about the situation.

"Change of plans. We better go back in time, we're outnumbered."

The villainess beside her nodded, "I'm down."

As they skated away, both ladybugs took notice, immediately calling out their lucky charm(s). One received a traffic cone and the other received a bicycle lock. They both gave each other a look, meanwhile you ran forward towards the large pillar.

Lifting up your hand, you called out your cataclysm to destroy the pillar.

Both timebreakers look at you in shock before turning around to skate towards the opposite direction, seeing ladybug standing in front of them with the bicycle lock.

Using her lucky charm, she locked the timebreakers' legs together, making them unable to stop themselves from the speed they were suddenly moving with. Meanwhile the other ladybug placed the traffic cone on the ground to use the ice cream sign as a ramp.

"Now!"

Both ladybugs wrapped their yo-yo's around the timebreakers' ankles, pulling off one of each of their rollerblades and releasing the akuma within. In sync, they both use their yo-yo's to capture the akuma and fix everything back to normal.

Heading back to them, you gave them a small thumbs up before you three all fist bumped. "Pound it!"

—

When you got back home, you let out a big sigh when you saw the unfinished homework pile on your desk meanwhile Plagg let out a loud laugh, making you groan.

"Best part of the day! Anyway, finish your homework."
