Stuff I noticed at Snow Queen Fire & Ice and Miraculous Ladybug 😀
I just had to. Even if it is a waste of time. 😅I've done one a long while ago between Miraculous and Monster Buster Club. This one had to be done as well, all just because of those small, little spirits 🥺😥
To be clear, I’m not comparing it to what is better and whatnot. I’m comparing the similarities between the two. The spirits there made me think of the kwamis? Funny I didn't pay attention to it at first xD But then the fun part came......Three times I have watched the movie and I suddenly began to think......Hmm Gerda has the creation powers like Ladybug and Rollan destruction......Holy brick! They could be the lovesquare as well if they had added more romance into it 😂 How did I not see? (It's because you saw Kristanna mixed with Hansanna you nut)
So where do I start? Well just to summarize the shows for those who don’t know one/both of them:
Tumblr media
Short info about both, if unfamiliar:
Miraculous Ladybug is a French animated TV show, that debuted in 2015 and is set in the modern metropole Paris and is focused on the lives of the clumsy Marinette Dupain-Cheng and the famous teeny-model Adrien Agreste. Both wield special magical jewelry, which is called a “Miraculous” which they use to transform into the superheroes “Ladybug and Cat Noir”  The two don’t know each other’s identity, but funnily Adrien has a huge crush on Ladybug and in the civilian life he sees her as just a friend, while Marinette is obsessed with Adrien and sees Cat Noir only as his trustful crime-fight partner. Both students are around 14 years old in the show.
As superheroes they fight villains, that were akumatized by Hawk Moth. (He owns the butterfly miraculous, with which he can create supervillains by sending an akuma (Butterfly jinxed by Hawk Moth’s magic) and Hawk Moth’s miraculous sends people’s negative feelings such as anger, sadness and disappointment and uses his akumas to follow them and akumatize them and they’re transformed by Hawk Moth into a specific-themed supervillain.
Snow Queen 3: Fire and Ice (Release year: 2016)
Snow Queen 3: Fire and Ice is the third installment of the Russian franchise "The Snow Queen" It consisted currently out of 4 movies, an upcoming 5th installment, and a pre-school TV show. The first movie came out in 2012 and was also the studio's very first movie.
Resume from the first two movies is the young girl Gerda, which lost her parents to the Snow Queen makes her way through the entire snow lands to find her younger brother Kai, which was kidnapped y the north wind. With help of Orm, Snow Queen's servant she makes her way up to the Palast and defeats her, saving her brother and waking up Orm's eyes to a "better world" The sequel is focused on Orm's continuation, which makes a promise to never lie again and this promise made a reflection of himself come to life and appear near him, when he had no idea, what to do with life issues. The more he began to create white lies and bigger lies, the more life his reflection gained until he was able to get out to the real world. The reflection, which calls itself "The Snow King" tricks Orm and leads a fight against Troll warriors by sending his ice-made minions. Gerda was the last warrior to enter and make it to the main hall of the palace to miss Orm, which was fading away due to Snow King's existence and he pretends to be an injured Orm, which is warmly embraced by the girl, but then gets frozen by him, not realizing she had fallen into a trap. When things were over for everyone and the bad guys had won, Orm figured out how he would make everything okay by confessing his mistakes, which erased Snow King from existence and unfroze all warriors and friends again, which were angered at the naive troll.
This is lowkey spoiler-free. I didn't want to go into much detail here, but I would suggest you watch these movies, mostly no. 2 and 3, which are really worth seeing. As well you can see the first and see how much the studio had improved since the first up to the 2 and 3 one.
The Fire and Ice one, I'm supposed to be talking about happens a few years later, Gerda and Kai left the orphanage to go live on their own and make money to be able to at least be able to eat. Their last visit didn't make any profit and they took a ride with an old friend of theirs Alfida (The Robber girl) to pass the night by Orm, their troll friend, which had matured and was responsible to babysit the triplets of his cousin. On said night, a Spanish boy named Rollan shows up by his doorstep and is introduced to the visitors as a friend he met shortly. After the dinner ended in a disaster Kai and Gerda split and Rollan followed Gerda to give her rights, then bonded with her from being looking for his mother as well and introduces her to a map with an artifact called "The Wishing Stone" which grants any wish. Gerda agrees in tagging along and together they make it to survive the dangerous tomb encountering the wishing stone. Fact is the wishing stone was something else and this is where the powers of the Snow Queen and the Fire Demon were kept and due to Gerda and Rollan's touch on the stone, it had awakened the spirits, getting the two infected with the powers of said villains. Soon as they find out with Orm what happened, they need to get back to the tomb to retrieve the powers before the north star rises and makes their transformation complete, which means both would lose their soul/bodies to the villain. .
Random info:
1. The most popular franchise of the studio aka knowns for:
Miraculous is mostly know to be addressed as a ZAG animation product, but other known studios have worked on it as well such as SAMG Animation, TOEI and Method Animation.
Currently, the most popular series produced in France.
The Snow Queen 3 is the overall fifth movie released by Wizart Animation and was on its release the studio's best-grossing movie so far. Currently, the studio's filmography contains about 8 released movies (Counting with Secret Magic Control Agency in 2021), Two televisions shows and at the moment three movies are announced to be released.
Currently, the franchise is the most popular one in Russia, which is also where it was produced.
The similarities I noticed:
The spirits
Coal (Up) and Snowflake (Down) (Left Side)
Plagg (Up) and Tikki (Down)(Right Side)
Tumblr media
Tikki and Snowflake have female pronouns. Both are shown to be "feminine", kind, lovable, and correct. They're a spirit of creation.
Plagg and Coal have male pronouns. Both are shown to be "male". cunning and curious. They're a spirit of destruction.
All four are able to use their powers on their own. They don't need to be with their holder to be capable of.
Differences:
- Plagg and Tikki are able to communicate verbally with each other and with humans.
-Coal and Snowflake can't speak, they usually use body language and mimic. Also, they do noises like laughing, groaning, speaking, and such.
- According to Tikki, her species (Kwami) don't fall in love/can't fall in love.
- Snowflake and Coal are shown to be romantically interested in each other. They're shown flirting and having little date-like moments, as they're away from their "owners"
- Coal is able to multiplicate. It's unknown if he's able to do it in command or only if he falls or is hit.
Tumblr media
The "Alter egos"
Tumblr media
Marinette is the face behind Ladybug and Adrien wears the mask of Cat Noir.
Gerda is possessed with the ice-powers of the Snow Queen and Rollan wields the fire-power of the Fire Demon.
Gerda and Marinette share the creation ability, while Adrien and Rollan are responsible for the destruction. They're each other's opposites.
Differences: Gerda and Rollan are aware of each other's identity and recognize each other's faces, despite small differences. Adrien and Marinette don't know each other's hero identity and weirdly have minor differences in their looks.
Marinette and Adrien's personality as heroes is quite different from their civilian ones, while Gerda and Rollan's don't seem any different.
It's unknown if, during the time Rollan and Gerda are under possession, their personalities are slightly altered by the villains or not. Rollan is shown to get quickly tempered with Gerda's friend, when it comes to their mishap, which usually turns into arguments.
Tumblr media
The Yin-Yang effect
Power of creation and destruction
Marinette = Ladybug miraculous, the red earrings / Power of Luck (Creation)
Adrien = Black Cat Miraculous, the black ring / Power of Misfortune (Destruction)
Gerda = Ice (Creation) (The ice-blue shape on the crystal)
Rollan = Fire (Destruction) (The red shape on the crystal)
Tumblr media
Character A bickers often with character B.
Ladybug with Cat Noir. Most of the moments Ladybug feels annoyed at Cat Noir's puns and flirt attempts during their missions. She had her rude moments, but deep inside her, she adores him. With Adrien's she's currently befriended, but has a huge crush, nearly an obsession with the blonde, which sometimes makes her double life harder and under pressure, she has taken choices, which led to ungood consequences.
Gerda with Rollan. Rollan's seems more relaxed with pressuring into retrieving the powers back, unlike Gerda. Rollan's easy tempter with Orm, when he's blamed for his issues annoys her as well. Gerda has shown interest in Rollan since the night she has met him and they bonded over the night when heading to the forbidden Tomb. Rollan has shown interest in her as well, but not as much as her.
Tumblr media
"Buttmonkey Sidekick"
Cat Noir and Rollan.
Cat Noir - Thrown around by villains at billboards, yeeted by his own dad at the fricking Eiffel tower, sometimes risked his life to protect Ladybug and get wrapped up into odd situations.
Rollan suffered a few nutshots (One by himself as well), survived a very dangerous tomb, had his head frozen by Gerda accidentally, managed to step-dance in the middle of a shoot-out without getting hit by a bullet, accidentally (Or not) uses firepower with help of his butt. (Sounds ridiculous? There' the picture 😂) Press R for respect.
Naturally handsome boys.
Cat Noir and Rollan.
With and without "masks".
Tumblr media
Don't think before acting
Cat Noir and Rollan.
Characters look the same
Gerda and Ladybug
Gerda has additional makeup on her face.
Tumblr media
Characters look differently with their alter egos
Cat Noir and Rollan
Cat Noir has a wilder hairstyle and has cat-like eyes.
Rollan has a different skin tone, a fire-like shaped hairstyle, which he can put on fire and his eyes are slightly red-brownish.
The brains
Ladybug and Gerda.
The muscle
Cat Noir and Rollan.
Falling into the darkness
Tumblr media
Cat Noir and Rollan
Cat Noir lets an akuma take over him and turn him into Chat Blanc, which destroys the entire world in an alternate universe.
Rollan lets the Fire Demon take over his body at the retrieval of the power and nearly commits genocide of entire kingdom.
Tall boy, smoll girl
Cat Noir to Ladybug
Rollan to Gerda
"Lovesquare"
Cat Noir has a crush on Ladybug. Ladybug doesn't. She has a crush on Adrien, which is Cat Noir's alter ego, which she's not aware of. Adrien sees Marinette as a friend only and has no idea, she and Ladybug are the same person although they look the same.
Gerda is attracted to Rollan since the first time she saw him. Rollan begins to feel attracted to Gerda with the time she's around him.
Rollan and Gerda are aware of each other because they were given the powers in the same place.
Marinette and Adrien were confirmed to be canon and should end up in the 5th season, eventually.
Rollan and Gerda should be considered canon at the end of the 4th part, due to the ending credits showing them share a kiss.
Power font:
Ladybug & Cat Noir: "Magic jewelry" (Miraculouses)
Rollan & Gerda: The wishing stone
Difference:
The wishing stone takes away after 24 hours of control over the power wielders and turns them into the slave of Snow Queen and the Fire Demon. The characters' real person is gone for good.

Lady Frost and the Fire King - A familiar partnership - Chap 39
Chapter 39
https://archiveofourown.org/works/31330631/chapters/84485965
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13886468/39/Lady-Frost-and-the-Fire-King-A-familiar-partnership
In the evening several students had arrived at the Françoise Dupont school to attend the prom night organized by the school.
In the meantime, other students, which were invited for the prom were arriving as well at the moment, under them, Rollan was present along with Wayhem and Michael. Wayhem wore a black shirt and pants, which were from Gabriel, and a red tie, which belonged to the same brand. Michael wore dark-brown pants and a green vest with a bow tie.
„You paid 140 euros for that all?“ Asked Rollan shocked as he looked at the dark colors the boy wore.
„I like it. I‘m also planning to use it in the future on other occasions. No one says it‘s a one-time deal,“ Said Wayhem making Rollan nod.
„Unless it‘s a wedding. I hear many people do buy clothes for every different wedding. At least women,“ Commented Michael. „And the dress prices for women compared to our are huge,“
„Have you seen the prices for elegant suits of other brands? Or better for the ones specially used in weddings? They‘re more expensive than you think,“
„Okay, I believe so,“ Admitted Michael and the trio stopped in the middle of the court to see a few students standing around talking, two duos dancing and a few ones at the bankett table eating.
„Are you guys going to eat something?“ Asked Rollan making Wayhem nod and Michael shake his head.
„I‘ll be waiting here for Sofia,“ Responded Michael making the two boys nod.
„I‘m actually interested in trying out those snacks,“ Commented Wayhem, then Rollan nodded.
„I‘m actually a little hungry. I‘m coming as well,“ Mentioned Rollan, which followed Wayhem at the table to check out the various plates with different snacks, which had already a few missing.
„Lots of healthy snacks,“ Commented Rollan picking up a small toothpick with two cherry tomatoes and a mozzarella ball in it and shove a tomato into his mouth. Wayhem had picked up in the meanwhile from an etagere a triangle-cut sandwich with ham and salad and looked at Rollan taking the last two balls from his toothpick.
„Hey over there you got sweet stuff if you‘re interested,“ Commented Wayhem pointing at the end of the table, where Rollan just walked to encounter a plate with macarons only, then looked at the other ones and decided to pick up a half banana, which was covered in dry chocolate cream, which Rollan looked at it with a warily look.
„This looks interesting?“ Asked Rollan taking the stick, where the banana was attached to and took a bite from it, and smiled. „Mmh,“
„While you‘re on that I‘m gonna take this large Linzer cookie,“ Mentioned Wayhem picking up a large cookie, which had a smiley face on it, where you could see the jam filling of it. „Is this strawberry?“
Rollan finished the banana, then looked at Wayhem which was tasting the cookie and Rollan looked at the entrance to see more students enter, but there was no spurt of Gerda yet.
„Did you come on your own or have you a date?“ Asked Rollan making Wayhem shake his head.
„Nope, I‘m all on my own,“ Mumbled the brunette. „I‘m fine for now,“
„Okay,“ Replied Rollan walking around the table to look at the available snacks, then approached a table across the one with the salty snacks and looked at all the glass, that had been filled in with various drinks and Rollan picked up one, which was grape juice then he took a sip of it and frowned a little disappointed at the taste. Rollan watched the baker of the bakery across the school appear with a plate with hot ham croissants and added them into a plate, which had been empty.
„Want to give my croissants a try?“ Asked Mr. Dupain. „They‘re filled with smoked ham and cream cheese Trust me, you‘re going to love it,“
Rollan smiled, then picked up one to try it and blew at it due to its temperature.
„Gracias,“ Answered Rollan, then Tom pondered for a little while and questioned the boy.
„You‘re alone here?“ Asked the adult making Rollan shake his head.
„Wayhem and Michael came with me,“ Answered Rollan. „There‘s also a girl, I‘m waiting for, but she hasn‘t arrived yet,“
„Really?“ Asked Tom making Rollan nod, then Tom approached the raven-haired Spaniard and led him to his side, where three piles of plates were and took one for the boy. „Why don‘t you collect this girl a few little snacks for her to when she arrives?“ Asked Tom watching Rollan look at the plate and shrug his shoulders.
„I guess it‘s a good idea,“ Commented Rollan and looked at the large variation, wondering what he should pick. „Epa, how should I know, what she‘s interested in?“
„You don‘t have to, just take a few things you think she should try. A few salty things, sweet things or healthy things,“ Suggested Tom. „There must be something, that would make her curious to try,“
„Yeah, I think there are a few things she could try,“ Admitted Rollan, then approached the table to look for diversity.
At the entrance, stood Kim together with Max and Nino talking with an African student, which wore headphones and carried under his arm a laptop.
„You‘re telling me, that Yuki and Urioto broke up because of an empty balloon someone left in his dorm?“ Questioned Kim shocked making the boy nod.
„It‘s hella stupid man. Werner only was in his room to ask Urioto‘s roommate for his party box and he had dropped it and eventually left it there. He wasn‘t expecting that there would happen such a big drama,“
„That‘s nuts,“ Commented Kim while Nino nodded.
„I don‘t know how people could mistake that for a contraceptive product, but yeah that really is crazy, that the two boys there fought because of this,“
„It‘s kind of weird this even happened that way,“ Commented Max making Kim nod.
„Hey before you go up at the stage, are you interested in meeting Rollan? The guy I told you about the basketball skills?“ Asked Kim making the older boy shrug his shoulders.
„I‘ve got to see, what exactly I have to plug in and out at the device, maybe I‘ll pass by before I start or after my part is over,“ Answered the dark-skinned boy making Kim nod, which then heard a familiar, squeaky voice and looked down to spot Luka coming along with his sister, the younger girl Rose and the new girl he knows from his class Gerda.
„Hey is that Gerda?“ Asked Kim surprised at seeing Gerda in a short, sleeveless dress with a woven surface over her front and small, white pearls on it. The skirt of the dress reached to her knees and had her shoes replaced with black ballerinas. Her hair she had let it open, passing over her shoulders down at her back. Nino looked along with Max and the DJ at the Quartett, that came upstairs.
„Hey guys!“ Greeted Rose, while Juleka waved at the group and Luka nodded with a smirk.
„Hey,“ Greeted Kim along with the others, while the unfamiliar boy approached Luka to high five.
„Is that your girl?“ Asked the boy curious making Luka shake his head.
„No, this is Gerda. She‘s in my sister‘s class,“ Answered Luka. „She has been invited to the prom by someone else if you‘re wondering,“
„Oh okay. Well, I‘d be surprised if someone like her wouldn‘t have someone. She‘s a natural beauty,“ Commented the boy with a smirk making Gerda feel embarrassed.
„Thanks,“ Answered Gerda, then looked up at the boys. „Has Rollan arrived yet?“ Asked Gerda making Kim shrug his shoulders.
„I know Wayhem did. Maybe he is in there as well and I haven‘t noticed,“ Answered the Vietnamese boy, then Gerda looked at Rose, which smiled and the group followed into the court, looking around at the decorations made for the evening, which were holiday-themed.
„The images up there of the things you see at the beach look realistic,“ Commented Gerda making Rose nod.
„That made our crafting club,“ Mentioned Rose proud. „A big chunk of the things we see all here now at the prom were done by the various after school activity groups,“ „Cool,“ Commented Gerda, then she spotted near the buffet tables Rollan looking around the table for more food for the plate on his hand, then Gerda chuckled and nudged Rose to show her his crush. „He‘s up there,“
„Aww, he‘s just like Nathaniel. Passionate about eating,“ Commented Rose holding her hands together against her chin.
Gerda approached the Spaniard, which was looking at the macarons, then she stepped beside him to look at his plate.
„That looks yummy,“ Commented Gerda, then Rollan looked at the girl and widened his eyes as he saw her now differently as usual.
„Gerda?…..Is that you?“ Asked Rollan surprised making Gerda nod. „I have never seen your hair open…...“
„Is it good?“ Asked Gerda while Rollan admired her hair dazzled, then Gerda moved her hand in front of his face to obtain his attention. „What do you think of it?“
„Your hair?“ Asked Rollan making Gerda nod. „It‘s great. Did your hair always look like this, when you had it open?“
„More or less,“ Commented Gerda. „Juleka cut the edges of my hair, cause it was a little sprouted,“
„You gotta keep your hair like that more often, it makes you look even more beautiful…..You know, you already are but like this you‘re…..uh better,“ Explained Rollan making Gerda laugh.
„That‘s sweet and you look stunning as well,“ Commented Gerda looking at his clothing. „White actually suits you well,“
„Gracias….I actually was going to take a red one, but then Arthur came along with a few of his old ones and I picked up this one here. It‘s slightly a little large, but it works well for me,“
„It really does,“ Admitted Gerda, then Rose gave Gerda a thumb up, which pulled Juleka away leaving the Norwegian back with the taller boy. Gerda watched her friends leave, heading to the other side of the court, then she smiled that the two girls have let her alone with Rollan without any other tries of helping them out.
„Gerda?“ Spoke Rollan getting the girl‘s attention, then he showed her the plate with the various snacks. „I picked up some variations for you….to try it out?“ Offered the Hispanic boy making Gerda smile and pick up a crystalized ginger slice to eat it. „If you want you can take them all. I had specifically picked up them for you,“
„I‘m probably not gonna eat all of this. You can have one or two as well,“ Said Gerda making Rollan nod, then she picked up one macaron and held it in front of Rollan‘s mouth, making him furrow his eyebrows, then he smiled and allowed Gerda to lead it into his mouth for him to eat. Rollan warped his face in disgust making Gerda shut her eyes up in shock.
„You‘re alright?“
„I‘m not very fond of pistachio,“ Commented Rollan making Gerda chuckle.
„Oh alright I‘m sorry,“
„It‘s fine,“ Commented Rollan watching Gerda take a small canapé with salmon on it and Rollan observed her eating with a smile.
At the small stage, which was placed under the stairs appeared the organized DJ, which had fixed his laptop to play on it and picked the microphone up to greet the students.
„Good evening students of the Françoise Dupont!“ Greeted the boy calling the attention of half of the students. „The name‘s Cristiano and I‘m one of the DJs for this prom. For the next 90 minutes you‘ll be listening to my mix, afterward, Principal Damocles will have for us a few words, before we continue with our next DJ, which most of you know, Nino Lahiffe. In the end, there will be a voting for our prom King and prom Queen and we will know who our winners are. So I suggest you all show your best side and show what you‘re worth for the prize!“
The students applauded watching the DJ give them a thumb up, then turn on the first song, which was a house-electronica song meant for partying.
„Oh yeah, our first song coming from the US-Rapper Okla-Homa. Always good for a wild night,“ Commented Cristiano loud watching students beginning to gather together in the middle to dance.
Gerda watched the students begin to dance with each other, then chuckled at the way some were dancing which was unfamiliar to Gerda. Gerda moved her fingers to pick up the last snack, which was a vanilla cookie and at the same time Rollan placed his finger as well meeting Gerda‘s and shrieked, then rolled his eyes at the girl, which beamed at the boy.
„You can take it,“ Offered Rollan shoving it with his index finger at the girl, which accepted it to eat. Rollan placed the plate aside afterward watched Gerda finish the cookie and looked up at Rollan, which smiled and looked at the students, that were dancing, additionally more students were arriving to join the others.
„Can you dance?“ Asked Gerda making Rollan shrug his shoulders.
„I can waltzer and others in company, but this style the others are doing I have never done before,“
„Neither have I,“ Stated Gerda. „Shouldn‘t we at least give it a try together?“
„Hmm I don‘t think it looks that hard….just in my imagination me doing that would be ridiculous,“
„If you want me to be honest I think everyone kind of dances awkwardly. Maybe this is the point of it,“ Commented Gerda making Rollan shrug his shoulders. „What do you think? Are you able to give it a try?“ Questioned the Norwegian girl, then Rollan watched the others dance and returned his eyes at Gerda.
„Let‘s go for it,“ Answered Rollan, then walked along with Gerda at the field, then both stood there waiting for one of the two to start, then Gerda watched Rollan observe the others, then looked back at her grinning a little sheepishly and Gerda began to dance as the others with Rollan watching her, then she approached the Spaniard placing her hands on his arms pushing him nearer to her and moved her shoulders and arms. Rollan grinned at Gerda‘s moves, then tried to copy the girl and looked at the others, which were all dancing on their own or with another person. Rollan looked back at Gerda, which continued dancing as the others were dancing, then Rollan slowly began to copy her moves and watched her nod and do a full spin, making Rollan smile, which stopped and did a quick spin while going on a tip toe and earned a small applause of Gerda.
„Hey that spin was good,“ Commented Gerda making Rollan chuckle, then he began to move his arms and dance, making Gerda glow at his confidence at copying the random movements, therefore she went along with the boy with their odd dance moves while the song was almost over.
„This is kind of funny,“ Commented Gerda making Rollan nod, then looked at the others, which began to jump up in the air, while holding their hands up and the duo did the same, then Gerda laughed excited about it.
„Eso es genial!“ Commented Rollan making Gerda grin, then the song was over and they stopped along with a few duos.
Marinette sat in her bedroom doing her homework and had on the computer a live stream of the prom night, which showed the DJ playing the music and it switched slowly to the dancing students. Marinette sighed, then picked up her smartphone to use the calculator, then shrieked as on her display appeared a phone number calling, which she attended it.
„Hello?“ Greeted Marinette.
„We‘re here,“ Said the voice making Marinette nod and turn the call off. Marinette went upstairs to get to the balcony, then encountered on the roof Su-Han along with a mysterious monk she had never seen before.
„Good evening,“ Greeted Marinette, then Su-Han held out his hand at Marinette to show her the fixed Ladybug miraculous making her smile and embrace the senior, which widened his eyes in shock. „Thank you so much for healing the miraculous for me,“
„There‘s no need to thank me for it. Now please put on your earrings to make sure she‘s good,“ Commented Su-Han watching Marinette put on the miraculous, then they got activated and Tikki showed up in front of Marinette.
„Welcome back, Tikki,“ Greeted Marinette holding out her hands at the kwami, which smiled and hugged them. „I‘m so sorry I have let an akuma take over me and…...you were now gone for a while,“ „What matters is, that we‘re both okay and the akuma was defeated,“ Stated Tikki making Marinette smile and look along with the kwami at the master guardian.
„This is the son of the former guardian of the Scandinavian miraculous box. He was going to step into his feet as the next heir until one faithful night the Snow Queen cursed the entire peninsula with her curse freezing almost every citizen including his father,“
„Oh and what happened next?“ Questioned Marinette looking at the monk.
„I never got the chance to work with that miraculous box, so after the Snow Queen was defeated I studied other legends, under them was the one of the wishing stone and this is where my topic is going to. You have these two new heroes in your group. The fire-themed one and the ice-themed one,“ „Yeah, Cat Noir said he found it in Gabriel Agreste‘s mansion. He has brought them from Norway I think according to his son Adrien Agreste, which we tried to send him undercover into figuring out details,“ Explained Marinette. „I already mentioned you that the other day, Master Su-Han,“
„I know that. This is now a way different topic now. Let him tell you, what he has to,“
„Okay, sorry, go on, Mister,“ Asked Marinette looking at the monk, which nodded.
„Those miraculouses your friends there were, you know the one with the fire and the ice powers. They‘re in potential danger to lose their control and be overtaken by the spirits of the Snow Queen and the Fire Demon. You have to get these miraculouses back, before they get turned into their slaves and lose their control for good,“
„Oh…...uh and how much time do I have to take them back?“
„I‘m not sure. I‘m the one, who experimented with their powers believing nothing would occur, but I have seen in one of the recordings made by surveillance cameras or any other ones, that recorded one of their fights. The fire boy‘s mind was nearly changing before something had interrupted him and prevent him to lose its tempter,“
„Does this mean…..if Fire King loses his tempter in a way he loses his control or….I don‘t understand,“
„I can‘t tell to 100% when exactly this could happen, but you really need to get them back before it happens. The spirits of the Fire Demon and the Snow Queen shouldn‘t be freed. They should return back into the wishing stone and I‘m at the moment the only one, who knows how to do that. I just need your help,“
„Okay, I just will need to know, where they are exactly. I don‘t know their identities to have it easier to find them,“
„Is there a way to gain their attention and get to them? Like a real-life issue? A faked akumatization?“ Questioned the monk making Marinette shrug.
„I haven‘t thought of anything yet, but I can come up quick with a plan,“
„We better leave it to you then and beware, if one or both of them end up losing their souls to these spirits, I‘ll tell you, it will be the hell to be able to defeat them all over again,“ Commented the monk making Marinette drop her mouth in shock at his comment.
„Don‘t break your head about it. I have my full trust in you, you‘re going to get them without a problem,“ Mentioned Su-Han making Marinette nod, then he jumped down off the roof along with the monk and Marinette dropped her back on the deck chair in shock.
„Did you hear that Tikki? What if we fail again?“ Asked Marinette making Tikki shake her head.
„We‘re not gonna fail, Marinette. All we need to do is to find out, who Fire King and Lady Frost are, then tell them what‘s up. Figuring out, who Fire King is won‘t be hard, Cat Noir already knows and we have proof, that something is wrong with Fire King. He will for sure understand and give the miraculous back,“ Stated Tikki making Marinette nod, then look around and back at Tikki.
„Let‘s get charged, we will look for Cat Noir,“ Warned Marinette making the kwami nod.
Later into the evening, Rollan stood at a corner watching a young couple take a picture in front of a wallpaper, which illustrated at the wall a picture of a beach and the ground had actual sand on it with a deck chair, a handmade sandcastle with a lying, red bucket and a shovel next to it. Rollan watched the couple being pictured by the photographer in a few poses at their choice making Rollan smile and cross his arms enjoying the sight.
The photographer gave the couple a thumb up, then looked at Rollan, which was watching the photo session, then approached the Spaniard.
„Hey! I haven‘t seen you here,“ Commented the photographer, then grabbed Rollan on his cheeks. „You‘re not from here aren‘t you?“
„I‘m from Spain,“ Mumbled Rollan, then watched the photographer take his hands down.
„I assumed you were Italian for some reason, but by looking at your built you‘re far too sporty in my opinion,“ Commented the Italian photographer making Rollan furrow his eyebrows confused.
„My friend Wayhem is sporty and Italian,“ Commented Rollan making the photographer grin.
„You‘re probably right, I was referring to the ones I know,“ Commented Vincent. „At least around here…...what do you think? Would you like to participate in a little photo session? I can see inside you hides a boy, that has potential to become a super model“ Complimented Vincent making Rollan shake his head.
„No, I‘m not interested in that kind of thing. I‘m more interested in being able to do something like helping people,“
„Alright and is it okay, if I take a normal picture of you?“ Questioned Vincent.
„Hmm I‘m not really fond of taking pictures,“ Commented Rollan making the photographer nod, then Rollan made his way along the side of the court to get closer to the restrooms, then watched a cook pass by with a plate filled with various cheese sorts shove into one single pike and Rollan took one giving the cook a smile, then took a bite of the first cube, then watched out of the restroom Gerda come out to his direction.
„Did you want a stick?“ Questioned Rollan moving his head at the cook, which was offering one piece at Myléne Hapréle from Gerda‘s class.
„It‘s fine,“ Responded Gerda, followed by Rollan shoving the last cubes into his mouth and looked around for a trash bin, then placed it on a plate, which contained more used sticks near the buffet table.
„What are you planning to do now?“ Questioned Rollan. „Shall we go to the dance floor again?“
„Are they going to play softer songs and not only the energetic ones?“ Questioned Gerda watching Rollan shrug his shoulders,
„Maybe they will play some,“ Answered Rollan. „We probably have to wait a little longer. They exchanged the musician over there, he might give us something else,“
„You‘re right,“ Agreed Gerda looking at the corner to see Juleka and Rose take pictures together, then she nudged Rollan on the shoulder and pointed there. „They‘re taking pictures,“
„That guy there asked me before if I wanted to take pictures,“
„And you didn‘t want?“
„I‘m not very comfortable with taking photos,“ Admitted Rollan, then she grabbed him by the hand and led him to the corner.
„Come, let‘s just take one picture together. As a memory of this night,“ Suggested the blonde. „Come you won‘t look bad I promise,“
„Alright, I‘ll do it,“ Announced Rollan, then the two stopped by the photographer, which took the last picture of the same-gender couple.
„Fantastic!“ Exclaimed Vicent, then looked at Rollan and Gerda that had alined for the photo session.
„I changed my mind,“ Said Rollan making Vincent smile and see Rose and Juleka pass by the man, then Rose picked the man by his arms as the older duo entered into the corner, so she could whisper something into the ear of the Italian.
„Okay, I‘ll do it,“ Said Vincent, then picked up his remote on his pocket to exchange the image behind the two into an image of a Balinese beach showing a beautifully light-blue water, and near the ground was the sand of the beach, which was compatible with the floor of the set. Vincent looked at the two, which stood beside each other normally, then he moved his hands to sign the two to get closer.
Rollan stepped to Gerda closer with an embarrassed face, while Gerda had rolled her eyes down heating up on the face at the boy‘s approach, then they smiled at the camera, which took a snapshot.
„Have something more in mind for this picture?“ Questioned Vincent seeing Rollan and Gerda look at each other, then Rollan grabbed Gerda‘s hand giving Gerda an unsure look. Gerda had a different idea, then shove the arm, which Rollan had grabbed into the gap between his arm and body, then held her other hand up over his upper arm. Rollan got surprised at her touch, then smiled a little seeing the girl look up at him with a smile, then Rollan‘s grew slightly more and together they faced the photographer, which gave them a thumb up to take a picture. At his third try, Gerda leaned her chin on Rollan‘s shoulder making Rollan exchange his facial expression seconds after the picture was taken and he looked down at the girl.
„Perfecto!“ Commented Vincent, then Rollan looked back at the picture and got bewildered about it.
„Didn‘t we had another picture before?“ Asked Rollan making Gerda shrug her shoulders, then they walked out of the corner to the middle of the court. Rollan stopped, followed by Gerda bumping into him and she giggled as she did that, afterward Rollan pointed out at the DJ, which had picked up his microphone to speak into it.
„Ladies and Gentle-dudes! We‘ve been through a wild ride together, but now it‘s time for us to slow it down a little with some light music and easy listening. I tried to search for something, that‘s a little known under some of you, maybe you‘ve heard it in your childhood, who knows. Our first song comes from a known country singer under the girls here,“ Nino said, then he pressed the play button to start the song, which had at the begin of the music a guitar solo.
The court now remained with couples and duos only beginning to dance slowly to the music.
Gerda looked at the pairs dancing, then noticed how close Juleka and Rose were to each other during the dance with the little blonde having her head lied against the chest of the girl friend. Rollan looked around to see the other couples dance together, then he looked at Gerda seeing her smile enchanted at seeing her two best friends happy together, then Rollan pondered about the circumstances and turned around at the girl.
„Gerda?“ Spoke Rollan earning the girl‘s attention, then he bowed down holding out his hand at the girl. „Puedo solicitor este baile?“
„You're asking me what?“ Asked Gerda looking down at his hand, then studied his sentence. „You‘re asking me to dance?“ Questioned Gerda making Rollan nod. „Oh…..so baile means dance?“
„El baile. Si,“
„Si,“ Responded Gerda. „Quiero bailar,“ Answered Gerda taking Rollan‘s hand, then he guided her into the middle to be distanced from all the other couples, then he received the hands of the blonde and he moved one hand after the other, placing one on his shoulder and the right one on his hand. The free arm, Rollan placed behind Gerda‘s back, then both gazed at each other‘s face, Rollan having a dumbfounded expression while Gerda had an enchanting smile, which had begin to bewitch the Spaniard.
Gerda signaled with her eyes the friend to move further, then Rollan shook his head returning to reality, and began to waltz with the girl to the country song.
The singer began to sing, then Gerda focused on the friend during their act with Rollan leading her on the dancefloor keeping her and himself steady on the floor to avoid making a mistake. Rollan made a stop, then allowed Gerda to roll out, while he held his hand up to hold her and she returned back to the Spaniard, that reversed back with her on his arms. A few steps later Rollan let Gerda spin again, then she returned back into his arms slowly locking her eyes up with the ones of the Spaniard, making her wide them from seeing his maroon-colored eyes.
„But you came along and you‘ve changed everything…..“
The two teens waltzed together away from their standing point around the floor along with the other duos, which were focused on themselves leaving the two lovebirds go with the flow in a very identical manner without a failure as if they had been practicing together for a while.
Alya, which had been filming from the side the people dancing had Juleka and Rose pass near her, then noticed Rose point at the side, then Alya saw Rollan along with Gerda have wonderful act together making the alter ego of Rena Rouge smile and aim the camera at the duo, which was slowing down a little to go along with the song.
During the dance, Gerda had twirled around Rollan‘s arms, then he felt the long, blonde hair pass in front of his nose, making him chuckle and he grabbed the edge of Gerda‘s streak to sense it between his thumb and index finger.
„Has your hair always felt so smooth?“ Questioned Rollan making Gerda chuckle and shake her head.
„Juleka borrowed me her hair conditioner. Oh and have you smelt the scent of the shampoo I got from her?“
„Uh no?“ Responded Rollan, then Gerda moved her head down at Rollan‘s hand, then he reached his nose to her hairstreak to pick up the scent. Rollan cackled, thereafter he leaned his face nearer to her head to get the full scent into his nose and took his head back. „It‘s very good. What smell is that?“
„Honey and Almond,“ Responded Gerda. „It‘s a mixture. You like it?“
„To be honest I like that smell on you. It fits you perfectly,“ Admitted the Spaniard, making Gerda beam at his compliment. Rollan smiled glad at seeing his date was having a blast tonight, then adjusted the girl‘s hand back on him to lead the girl along the dancefloor, making her drop her head back smiling brightly as the song returned to the refrain.
„You lift my feet off the ground, spin me around…..“
„Hmm…..Hmm…..“ Gerda hummed to the song, making Rollan smile enamored at the sweet tune of her voice. She took her head up to look at the Spaniard, which had his eyes deeply focused on her, then she went along his lead on the floor and made a rotation, while being assisted by Rollan afterward she returned onto his arms.
„I don‘t want to hide it anymore…..“ Rollan leaned his forehead on Gerda‘s making her smile lovely, enjoying the tender moment between the two, then gazed up at the brown eyes of the Spaniard, which from a happy smile changed to a charmed one and Gerda placed her hands up under Rollan‘s chin to plant her lips on his making him wide his eyes at her move, then he shut them down, wrapping his arms around her slowly, followed by taking the lead and have Gerda move her arms down up on his shoulders, crossing her wrists on the other behind Rollan‘s neck with a slight mumbling noise of delight.
Adrien sat on his chair in front of the desk reading a book as Plagg sat on the desk looking at the live stream of the prom watching the crowd dance slow, which made Plagg yawn.
„Your father did well to not allow you to this. It looks so boring,“ Commented Plagg, then Adrien looked at the stream to see half of the duos, which were mostly lovers to the other have their heads leaned to each other to the calm style of the music.
„If I had the chance there to be with Ladybug or even with Kagami, it would have been pretty,“ Commented Adrien, then looked at the side to see images on the side mostly from Ladybug and two of them were from Kagami.
„You had great chances with Kagami, but you fucked it up by yourself because you couldn‘t leave alone your other crush,“
„I tried to forget her, but I couldn‘t,“ Commented Adrien. „Kagami was my chance to get through it, but I couldn‘t from seeing Ladybug every day,“
„You know the difference here Adrien is, you didn‘t always see Ladybug because it was a superhero case, you saw her because you wanted to. You missed moments, you could work on your relationship with Kagami or even something different, but you didn‘t,“
„Alright, alright, Plagg. Enough. I know I did terrible back there. I would have taken it all back, but I can‘t,“
„Yeah. Fire King probably will learn it from your mistakes or at least I hope he‘s going different,“ Commented Plagg looking at the screen, making Adrien raise his left eyebrow up then noticed on the live stream Fire King‘s alter ego sharing a kiss with Gerda.
„Well at least he seems pretty relaxed for a first kiss,“ Stated Adrien, then he got up and made his way to the windows to look at the schoolhouse, which was lightened by lights. „I think our class is the only class, where a few students didn‘t go to attend the prom. I, Nathaniel, Lila, and Marinette I think too,“ „Weird, why wouldn‘t Lila come?“ Questioned Plagg making Adrien shrug his shoulders.
„I assume her mom didn‘t sign her declaration. The same thing happened when we went to New York and Toronto. Marinette probably stayed back because of the bakery tasks for tonight. Nathaniel must have been because of his grandmother,“ Recounted Adrien then saw in front of his eyes the superheroine Ladybug pass by running above the roofs, heading to the Trocadero.
„Oh look Ladybug is back,“ Stated Adrien with a smile.
„Great to know Tikki is alright,“ Added Plagg, then Adrien looked down at her.
„Shall we do her a little visit? Just to see how she‘s doing?“ Questioned Adrien making Plagg shrug his shoulders.
„I don‘t care to be honest, but it‘s better than watching this boring live stream there,“ Responded Plagg, then Adrien opened the window and announced his transformation phrase.
„Plagg, Claws out!“ Shouted Adrien transforming into Cat Noir, then jumped out of the window to follow the superheroine and whistled loud to call Ladybug‘s attention, which stopped on top of a building before crossing the Seine.
„Cat Noir?“ Asked Ladybug watching Cat Noir arrive by the roof. „Oh great to see you right now,“
„How are you doing? What‘s with Tikki?“ Asked Cat Noir making Ladybug nod.
„She‘s fine now. Thanks for asking. Great that you showed up right now. I need your help, remember what happened last time with Fire King?“
„You mean his transformation issue?“ Questioned the blonde making the heroine nod. „What‘s up with it?“
„Su-Han introduced me to a monk and he told me about a relict they call the wishing stone. Fire King and Lady Frost‘s powers in the miraculous were taken from there….we have to take their miraculouses away or they both will lose their minds to the Snow Queen and the Fire Demon, which will cause destruction to our city. This apparently already happened 100 years or more ago and they were hardly manageable to defeat.“ „Really?“ Asked Cat Noir in shock. „And how are we gonna do that?“ Asked Cat Noir.
„You know, who Fire King is, right?“ Asked the blue-haired heroine making Cat Noir nod. „You‘ll talk to him, what‘s up and retrieve his miraculous, and I will see if I can find Lady Frost anywhere. If you spot there anyone with a wreath, that resembles Lady Frost try to speak to her. Or we‘ll have to wait for her to show up,“
„You could ask Rena Rouge to fake a situation and call her attention?“ Suggested Cat Noir, making Ladybug wide her eyes.
„Hey, that could work. Make your way up to Fire King, if you know where he is. I‘ll see if I can contact Rena Rouge,“ Ordered Ladybug watching Cat Noir salute at her and jump down at the road to head to the school.
At the prom after a couple of songs, Gerda and Rollan had gotten nearer with the other during the evening. Rollan was leading the girl during the current song, which had more pep than the previous one, then smiled as Gerda lied her head next to his face to lean on the shoulder.
„How are you feeling?“ Asked Rollan quiet, then heard the girl sighed enamored and the Spaniard understood, that she had been feeling well. „This is….“Began Rollan, then chuckled softly to watch Gerda move up her head to look at the raven-haired boy. „I have never thought about how both of us would have come this closer. I assumed we would be just friends and now…….this all happened,“
Gerda nodded, then leaned her arms around Rollan‘s head to nudge him with her nose gently.
„Me neither,“ Commented Gerda. „But when I got to know you a little I began to want more than just this,“
Rollan chuckled, then held his arms down aside Gerda‘s waist, allowing her to lean her forehead on his, then he rolled his eyes down to look into her crystal-blue eyes, which kept her focus on the brown iris.
„Remember, when I spoke about that one girl I liked?“ Asked Rollan making Gerda mumble.
„Uh hum,“ „You know I believe….I really never loved that girl. It‘s…..I don‘t know. I saw her every day and thought Damn, she‘s so beautiful, I never understood what was up there if I just found her pretty and was glad, when I was around her. With you….it‘s…..different. I‘m glad to see you and have you as a friend….. We…..we understand each other's lives and could be with each other when no one else could,“
„I have never been in love with someone before. You‘re the first guy I do perceive something and the need to get closer to you just grew more, instantly, that…..now that we‘re here together I‘m…...I couldn‘t be happier now,“
„I‘m sorry I didn‘t realize before how you felt about me,“ Apologized Rollan making Gerda chuckle, then get her head away from the boy to gaze at him.
„It‘s alright. You…..you spoke once about her right?“ Questioned Gerda making Rollan shrug his shoulders.
„I believe so. Her personality from the short time I saw her reminded me of you,“ Commented Rollan.
„Where did you see her in those short moments?“ Questioned Gerda curious, then Rollan pondered about what he should answer.
„Uhm basketball, after school,“ Lied Rollan making Gerda chuckle.
„This took you long to answer?“ Commented Gerda a little bewildered making Rollan nod.
„I had forgotten the word,“ Commented Rollan. „I‘m sorry,“
„It‘s alright,“
„I haven‘t seen that girl in her…...true form you know,“ Stated Rollan. „She wears a…..a long coat and has more makeup on her face, but I‘m not complaining about it. It‘s made well on her, it‘s not overly exaggerated as you‘ve seen on that blonde girl, that you saw bickering with Aurore from my class,“ Commented Rollan making Gerda chuckle.
„That‘s Chloé. Yeah, she‘s a little overdressed and overpainted. There I have to agree. This is why I begged Juleka and Rose to keep my face decent. I wanted you to like me for my real me, not an overly-changed Gerda,“ Stated Gerda watching Rollan cup her cheek, passing his thumb under her eye to uncover a bit of make-up, which had covered the freckles.
„I can‘t believe they covered up your skin points,“ Mentioned Rollan making Gerda a little confused, then figure out what he meant.
„Ah freckles you mean,“ Commented Gerda making Rollan nod, then Gerda took her hands down to grab Rollan‘s to question him something. „Just curious, what do you like about me? Do you have anything specific?“
„Personality-wise or something else?“
„Up to you.“
„Your kindness and confidence you‘ve shown, have caught my eye a lot,“ Commented Rollan, then both shrieked as the DJ had picked up the microphone making it shrill.
„Ops sorry dudes,“ Commented Nino, then showed up a paper on his hands. „Before our last song, I‘d like to announce to you the winners of the voting. As said before, The most voted girl and boy become the King and the Queen of the prom and in second place we get the Prince and the Princess. So open up your ears and listen up,“ Said Nino watching Principal Damocles come up at the stage along with Mrs. Mendeleiev, which were bringing the crowns and the tiaras for the winners. „Those aren‘t real ones, by the way, those were created by the crafting club together with the design club of Mr. Ross and Mr. Nickel,“ Explained Nino watching half of the students applaud.
„Okay dudes, we‘ll start with the second place“ Announced Nino. „Princess of the prom night tonight will be with 21 votes Aurore Boreal from class 12B!“ Announced Nino looking at the light, which searched for the girl, that was near the stage jumping excitedly in front of Wayhem and Luka, which observed the girl get up on the stage to receive the tiara, then the Principal ordered the girl to step forward at the stage to look at the crown, still excited about her win. „Our Prince Charming has gotten silver with 32 votes. Funnily equally voted by both genders. The award goes to Rollan from class 12B as well!“
„What?“ Asked Rollan confused looking at Gerda, which gave him a thumb up. „Why did I win?“ Asked Rollan confused, then Kim Chien Le showed up to clap the friend on his back.
„I voted for you man,“ Commented Kim, then pointed up the stage for Rollan to walk up in which he did and he received a silver-colored crown.
„Actually boys get the crown. Our DJ misunderstood me,“ Said Principal Damocles after setting the crown over Rollan‘s head, then he walked at Aurore, which waved at the Spaniard, which nodded and saw at everyone clapping at him, then swallowed hard tensed about the amount of attention.
Down came Vincent with his camera to take a picture of the two teens, then up the stage appeared the janitor to bring the two a simple rose with a ribbon on it with the number two written on it to hand it out to the silver-winners. After the prize, Rollan returned to Gerda, which stood there with Kim and Max, which were happy about Rollan‘s prize, then Kim held up his hand to have Rollan high-five him.
„What was the prize for?“ Asked Rollan, then watched Max adjust his glasses before explaining him.
„About 145 students had the chance to vote for any girl and anyboy here to become Prom King or Prince. You were elected by 32 students and got second place,“ Explained Max. „According to calculations sportsboys, Chads and anyone good-looking has greater chance to become the most votes, which happened to you,“
„Really?“ Questioned Rollan making Kim nod.
„You‘ve earned our votes. Sadly you didn‘t make it to King thought,“ Mentioned Kim making Max nod.
„I‘m fine with Prince. I would also be fine, if I didn‘t win,“ Mentioned Rollan looking at Gerda, which was looking at the ribbon and the quartett heard the next announcement, afterward Kim began to laugh as he heard Chloé had won the first prize.
„Who voted for her?“ Asked Kim making Rollan shrug his shoulders.
„I had no idea, where to vote,“ Said Rollan, then Gerda pointed at the box under the stage, which had large written Vote on it. „Oh,“
„I would have voted for you, if I knew that,“ Mentioned Rollan making Gerda grin at the comment.
„It‘s fine. I‘m also fine without the prize,“ Commented Gerda, then Kim began to yell as he saw Luka Couffaine get up on stage as he was elected Prom King.
„Almost all my classmates won,“ Commented Rollan making Gerda nod watching Luka and Chloé smile at the camera to get a picture taken, then they moved away and Nino played the next song, which was a pop song, which a soul-like topic.
Rollan placed his hands around Gerda‘s waist again, then watched her place her hands over his shoulders to go on for another dance session together, then she embraced the boy leaning her head by his head and noticed his shirt‘s collar have a notable, failed wrinkle on it, then passed her finger on it.
„Did you iron your shirt?“ Asked Gerda making Rollan nod.
„Yeah, did I miss something?“ Asked the Spaniard making Gerda shake her head.
„No I had noticed one wrinkle on it, which was made by the iron,“
„I was a little trebling with my hands,“ Commented Rollan. „I think I have two more, but under my arms somewhere,“
„Funny I haven‘t noticed anyone yet,“
„You know ironing isn‘t something I do every day, just once a week. Sometimes I do well, sometimes not so well. This one was okay thought,“
„It looks here like you have ironed from your back,“ Commented Gerda. „You know the textile part,“
„I do the arms first, then the body and the collar is the last thing I do,“ Explained Rollan watching Gerda move her head back to listen to his conversation with a charming smile while tapping him on his neck with her index finger. „Maybe the way I learned could help you better,“ Suggested Gerda moving her hand up at the collar lifting it up. „The best thing is to start at the collar and iron it from the inside, afterwards you move it around and go down here at the shoulder part,“ Guided Gerda moving her hand down under his neck, while going up slowly on her tiptoes to peck him on his lips, rousing up the boy, which had lost his attention when following the girl‘s words.
„I will give it a try tomorrow,“ Promised Rollan smiling courteously at the blonde, which replied back with a amused one and placed her head aside his, continuing their last dance under the open skyline over the school ground.

Chapter 31 - Nostalgica
https://archiveofourown.org/works/31330631/chapters/83381065
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13886468/31/Lady-Frost-and-the-Fire-King-A-familiar-partnership
Ladybug and Cat Noir pursued the supervillain, which was escaping from the heroes and while on it, she used her wand to shot magic against the heroes, but they dodged it. During the run, the villain looked at the next crossroad to see a bus cross the road turning towards their direction and the villain used her wand to hit it with magic, turning it into a large carriage with four horses and a few passengers, which had been sitting in the bus before.
„Miss Baba Yaga, stop putting everyone back in the old times!“ Shouted Cat Noir making Ladybug confused.
„Who is that?“ Questioned Ladybug making Cat Noir shrug his shoulders.
„Wasn‘t she a witch or something?“
„Where should I know that,“ Answered Ladybug, then jumped above the carriage along with her partner to pursue the supervillain. „Has Rena Rouge been able to contact Fire King and Lady Frost?“
„I think she had,“ Answered Cat Noir, then pointed forward to see the villain aim all the light poles to turn them into lanterns with candle lights. „I almost got the witch,“ Commented Cat Noir making a cat jump to catch her, but she dodges him and uses her wand on Cat Noir‘s staff to turn it into a wooden staff. „Oh great!“ Complained Cat Noir getting up, then the villain grabbed his stuff trying to take it off Cat Noir.
„I‘m Nostalgica and you shouldn‘t be out here at this time you ruffians,“ Commented the woman, then took the staff away and slapped with its end on Cat Noir‘s butt making him yowl, followed by Ladybug stop in shock.
„Me-ouch!“
The villain dropped the stick and ran off, then Cat Noir picked up his staff while scratching his butt.
„That Lady is mean,“ Complained Cat Noir, then Ladybug placed her hand on his shoulder.
„Don‘t worry, we will catch her,“ Commented Ladybug, then ran further along with the cat-themed superhero reaching the next crossroad and the two stopped to see the woman had turned left and turned back in the next crossroad. „Want to split or prefer to go together?“
„For now on I‘m good in going with you,“ Answered Cat Noir a little anxious making Ladybug chuckle.
„Don‘t worry, it won‘t happen again,“ Promised Ladybug.
„I know it will again. I can feel it tingling throughout my entire nervous system,“
„I didn‘t expect you to have a neurotic side,“ Commented Ladybug departing along with her partner.
„This reminded me of a movie about slaves I watched a while ago,“ Commented Cat Noir. „The pain really is incredible,“
„I believe you…...hey in case you have to protect me, you…..uh…..,“
„Will have to protect you from that lady?“ Questioned Cat Noir, then nodded at the girl. „Don‘t worry, I‘ll do it anyway,“
„When Fire King and Co. arrive you won‘t be alone there,“ Stated Ladybug, then spotted a woman and a teenager watching the villain disappear in the next corner, which was noticed by the superhero duo. Ladybug whistled to call the family‘s attention and stopped along with Cat Noir.
„Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I have to ask you two to hide inside the house until we take care of this situation,“ Warned Ladybug, then the man grabbed Ladybug on her arms, surprising her.
„Ladybug, this akuma villain there is my mother,“ Commented the woman. „The retirement home called and explained, what was up,“
„Why was she akumatized?“ Questioned the superheroine.
„They don‘t know it. They just saw something was wrong when she already was akumatized and turned several devices into something else,“
„Maman, last time I was with grandma at the home, she complained about how I was using my tablet to do my homework,“ Commented the redheaded boy, which Ladybug had recognized as Nathaniel Kurtzberg. „I didn‘t know she would get akumatized today,“
„Don‘t worry Mrs. And Mr. Kurtzberg. We‘ve got this, we will bring her back safe and sound,“ Stated Ladybug. „I promise,“ Ladybug added looking at Nathaniel, which nodded with shiny eyes and Cat Noir moved his head signaling Ladybug to move further.
During the run, Cat Noir looked back at the Jewish family and back at the superheroine.
„What is Nathaniel‘s grandma doing in a retirement home?“ Questioned the blonde.
„I think because of health problems she was moved into the retirement home. I‘m not sure of her age though,“
„Good question,“ Commented Cat Noir, then they spotted at the next corner a horse running out of control against the two superheroes and Ladybug used her yo-yo to grab Cat Noir and swung up at the roof to dodge the horse.
„That was a wild ride,“ Commented Cat Noir making Ladybug nod.
„More like a close call,“ Corrected Ladybug, then she heard one honking noise and moved further to the end of the roof to look around. „Cat, you‘ve gotta see this,“ Ladybug ordered, therefore the blonde ran to the girl to look above the roof and spotted an ice-made locomotive coming towards their way. Ladybug squinted her eyes and smiled as she recognized Lady Frost and Fire King in it.
„Lady Frost is starting to grow out of her miraculous. That‘s amazing,“ Ladybug said, then Cat Noir jumped down and waited for the ride. Ladybug shook her head as the blonde held up his thumb, seeing the train slow down, after that the blue-haired heroine jumped down as well to see the locomotive stop in front of the black-dressed hero.
„Lady Frost, did you build that all on your own?“ Questioned Cat Noir seeing the heroine nod. „That‘s amazing,“ Complimented Cat Noir making Fire King frown.
„I already told her that first,“ Commented Fire King annoyed making the two heroines giggle.
„Don‘t worry, compliments are meant to be platonic,“ Joked Ladybug, then Fire King moved to the exit to look at the experienced duo.
„Are you coming with us or….?“ Questioned the redhead watching Cat Noir hop at the nose of the locomotive, then got up on the head and Ladybug climbed on the stairs beside the vehicle holding herself.
„Alright, Lady Frost move on,“ Commanded Ladybug knocking on the ice-cold column of the locomotive and Lady Frost drove it slow to make a curve around to get at the bridge, then she accelerated the vehicle to cross fast the bridge getting closer to Nostalgica, which was passing by the Notre Dame again, then shrieked as she saw the train head towards her.
„Your silly locomotive can‘t stop me,“ Commented Nostalgica throwing a beam of magic against the train, then it got deflected and hit another light pole, which turned it into candlelight.
„Impossible!“ Hissed the woman, then disappeared right on the road beside the Notre Dame and Lady Frost flinched her teeth while turning the wheel of her train making it pass over the sidewalk and crash with the front into a building, then scratch the side of it on the house.
„Okay the sudden steering on the curves like this isn‘t meant for this locomotive,“ Commented Lady Frost looking at Fire King, which was scratching his head after hitting his head.
„Is everyone okay?“ Asked Ladybug getting up from the inside of the locomotive, then earned a nod from the duo. „I‘ll be going from up top.“ Mentioned Ladybug getting on top of the roof and Cat Noir got into the locomotive.
„Thank god, I jumped down before the impact,“ Commented Cat Noir. „I‘m surprised, it didn‘t break,“
„Me too, but what surprised me most was that it deflected the attack of the villain,“ Pointed Lady Frost out, then watched Fire King try to reverse the train back.
„That‘s enough King, now move forward,“ Ordered the blonde, moving the steering wheel while Fire King moved the lever back to forward and the locomotive began to drive further again.
„Thanks, will you continue to navigate me behind Nostalgica?“ Asked the silver-blonde heroine earning a nod from the friend, which focused on the villain, which turned around at the next crossroad.
„Slow down!“ Ordered Fire King.
„Make the curve from the outside,“ Ordered Cat Noir.
„What do you mean?“ Asked Lady Frost, then Fire King placed his hands on the wheel to pull it aside, afterward guided it smoothly into the next road and gave it back to Lady Frost.
„That was what I meant,“ Stated Cat Noir making the girl nod.
„Thanks, Fire King,“
„At your service,“ Responded Fire King, then shrieked along with Gerda's alter ego as they saw the villain turn left and the front was a wall, which blocked the road from the Seine. Lady Frost pulled the brake, followed by Fire King pull a full spin with the steering wheel making the front of the vehicle crash at the last building before the road and stop vertically aside the road.
Cat Noir looked behind the vehicle, then back at the fire-themed superhero.
„We‘re lucky the rear didn‘t get stuck there,“ Mentioned Cat Noir, then Lady Frost moved the train up at the road again, then went further and along with the redhead, she looked for the location of the supervillain.
„She‘s there on the Pont de Saint Louis!“ Warned Cat Noir making Lady Frost nod, which slowly steered the vehicle near the building, then across the next short curve both shrieked to encounter a few parked cars on the side of the road and a few empty horse carriages, then she closed her eyes, therefore the locomotive pushed the vehicles in front of it with its cowcatcher aside.
„Move back to the middle. This is slowing us down,“ Commented Fire King spinning the steering wheel, along with Lady Frost following the free road in the middle to the large crossroad, which was linked to the bridge leading to the next island.
„Good,“ Responded Lady Frost, then at the next buildings they saw Nostalgica aim at various chairs outside of a bistro, which turned into Mahagoni-made chairs with dark-red textile pillows. People began to run in various directions, few getting aimed by the supervillain, which changed their clothing into retro ones.
„I don‘t think we‘re going make it through the crowd,“ Mentioned Fire King, then Lady Frost pulled the honk several times warning the crowd, which got more panic and disastrous crashed against each other making it harder for the superheroes, then Lady Frost pulled the brake again to slow it down.
„Don‘t worry guys, Ladybug is still following the villain from above. Stay here, I will try to escort the people away from the road,“ Mentioned Cat Noir leaving the train to run towards the crowd.
„Come you can now slowly move on, Cat Noir is leading the crowd back into the place,“ Mentioned Fire King making the superheroine nod, which pushed the lever to drive it over the bridge closer to Cat Noir, which jumped from the sidewalk up at the nose of the locomotive.
„Oh no out there are more people sitting outside of coffee shops,“ Commented Lady Frost, then Fire King began to use the honk to warn the citizens. Cat Noir covered his ears from the noise, then observed at the street people sitting on the outside of the coffee and Cat Noir yelled to call their attention.
„Get into the shop!“ Shouted Cat Noir. „Get in! Get in!“
Fire King continued to use the honk, then took his hand off as the people had paid attention to them and ran back into the place to hide.
„Thank goodness,“ Stated Lady Frost, then watched the villain turn at the next corner and Lady Frost turned the steering wheel, crashing the front on the next building, then slowly returned to the road.
„I hate it, when she does that,“ Complained Fire King grabbing himself on the dashboard of the cabin.
„I‘m trying my best, King,“
„I meant Nostalgica,“ Pointed Fire King out. „I‘m sure she‘s trying to screw us up,“ Guessed Fire King, then pointed with his hand to see the villain take another curve into a slinker alley, making him groan. „See?“
„Take the other road, I will run behind her,“ Ordered Cat Noir feeling the train brake again, then Cat Noir got down of the locomotive to pursue the supervillain throughout the alley. He shoves his wooden stick into the hold behind his back and ran like a cat behind the villain, getting faster than her, then glanced up quickly at the roof to see Ladybug follow them as well.
A loud noise appeared above the sky and four fighter jets turned down heading towards Cat Noir and Nostalgica. Cat Noir widened his eyes in shock and jumped aside watching them pass, following the supervillain, which began to be attacked by its weapons.
„Oh my gosh!“ Cried Cat Noir surprised at the deed of the military.
Ladybug got down to Cat Noir to see him shocked, then placed her hand on his shoulder and whispered into his ear.
„That‘s just Rena Rouge,“ Stated Ladybug making Cat Noir smile. "They're not even in the size of the real ones,"
„Wow, it‘s pretty realistic,“ Commented the blonde hero, making Ladybug smile and the superheroine returned to follow the heroine. Cat Noir looked back to see the superheroes in the ice-train come along and he jumped into it.
„Good news, Rena Rouge is following her with an illusion. Maybe we will get lucky this time,“
„Hopefully,“ Answered Fire King, then Lady Frost drove the train further.
Moments later Nostalgica ran towards the Place des Vosges then jumped at the fence, crashing against it and fell down on her back and watched the jets fly towards her, then she moved her wand up watching one of the engines of the jets pass through her hand, causing a blinking at the illusion making the woman widen her eyes noticing it wasn‘t real.
„Those are illusions!“ Shouted the woman getting up, then look around for the superheroes and only saw Ladybug coming from the rooftops. The woman shot a magic beam against the superhero, which dodged it by swinging beside it with her yo-yo and tried to hit the woman with her feet but missed.
„Nostalgica, listen to me. Your daughter and your grandson are worried sick about you. Please don‘t let Hawk Moth take over you,“ Ladybug started, then the villain threw a magic beam against the superheroine, which jumped aside to miss the hit. „I‘m serious, I saw your grandson Nathaniel before. He was nearly about to cry. Don‘t let Hawk Moth use you against everyone here. None of us has anything against you,“
„I‘m at that age, where I wish I could do everything again like I used to. That time is over now and anything from this new generation is terrible. The new TV screens are too large and causes intense pain in my eyes, the technical progress is taking jobs and other tasks away from good people, that needed the job to make it through their life. How many times have I seen at the highway machines replacing workers to collect money to pass? The new shopping centers as well. Certain train stations you have now to buy tickets on the machines as well and how do you know exactly, that you‘re doing it right? It‘s the third time already I get fined for getting it wrong,“
„You‘re right, some really are sad to exist. But you see, life now isn‘t as easy as it was before. People now have less time for their friends and family because of work. More adults and immigrants live here in Paris and fill in stores, which should be left quickly for the next group. Some jobs were also facilitated for certain groups like car builders. The factory now has machines, that make the hardest parts while the builders then focus on the minor, but important parts. Or traffic lights are also a good invention. This is probably the best invention at this moment, cause many people would be going crazy during traffic jams if they had to follow the street guides,“
„This may be true, but there are far more bad things behind this technological progress. Students have it easier to learn and cheat on it. Others have it difficult to learn with it and get distracted. They even have modern calculators, while we back in our time we had a slide rule or a wooden one and couldn‘t even use it during exams while here you can. No wonder half of the kids from today barely know any mental arithmetic,“
„Nostalgica!“ Called Cat Noir appearing. „Remember the good ol‘ locomotives from the past?“ Questioned Cat Noir pointing at the ice-made locomotive, which was coming to their direction and Fire King climbed out of the window followed by the train stopping in the middle of the road in front of the entrance of the park.
Nostalgica shot a beam of magic against Ladybug, then Cat Noir jumped against her to avoid her getting hit and Fire King threw a small fireball at the villain, then ran towards her and made a roll on the ground as the villain threw a magic beam at the boy and he grabbed her on both arms trying to hold her tight preventing to use the wand.
„Quick! Take her wand!“ Ordered Fire King watching Ladybug throw her yo-yo catching the arm of the villain instead which smirked and took the distraction to head bump into Fire King‘s nose, making him whine.
„En serio?!“ Complained Fire King, then Ladybug pulled the boy away with her yo-yo narrowly having let the villain hit the boy with a magic spell.
„We need a plan,“ Stated Ladybug watching Fire King ran against Nostalgica to try to take her wand away, while she packed him on his chest to prevent him to take the wand.
„You‘re a badly educated boy. You deserve to be punished,“ Commented the villain and under her breast a red light shined at the boy and gave him an electronic shock, making him tingle and fall down on his back.
„Whoa, what was that?“ Asked Cat Noir watching Ladybug fish Fire King away from the situation, then helped him up.
„You‘re okay?“ Asked Ladybug watching Fire King shake his head from the shock, then ran with his hands on fire against the supervillain. „Fire King!“ Shouted Ladybug, then Lady Frost threw an ice blast against his friend causing him to slip and crash against the villain, which threw a magic beam against the road hitting a police car, that had just passed by and now it remained a horse along with a carriage and Roger Raincomprix sitting on it.
„Hey!“ Shouted Roger getting down of the carriage to enter the park, then looked up at the vehicle of Lady Frost. „Where are the papers of this vehicle?“ Asked the police stern.
„Uh I don‘t know,“ Responded Lady Frost looking at the heroes.
„Lady Frost! Why did you hit me?!“ Asked Fire King loud, then tripped over the ice followed by Nostalgica, which hit him on his stomach and got up, followed by stomping on him.
„You can‘t stop me,“ Commented the supervillain, then Roger noticed the supervillain and aimed his gun at her.
„Put your hands up, Nostalgica. You‘re standing on my area,“ Demanded the policeman, then Nostalgica used her magic to turn Roger‘s gun into a refilling gun, making him groan. Roger picked his walkie-talkie to call reinforces, but it was turned into a brick-like cellphone making Roger drop his chin.
„You gotta be kidding me,“ Complained Roger.
Nostalgica pointed her wand at Ladybug again, then Fire King up again, then embraced the woman from behind holding her right.
„Quick! Remove the wand!“ Ordered Fire King trying to hold her, then he was kicked between his legs and he stepped back holding his hands down. „No!“ Groaned the boy, then created with his one hand fire and defended himself from getting hit by the wand‘s magic. Fire King moved his hands to push her, but she stepped aside and Fire King moved further stepping over the villain‘s foot she had put out for him. Fire King growled, then shoot a fireball at her foot making her jump in the air, losing the wand.
Fire King smiled, then jumped up to grab the wand and showed it to the group.
„Break it!“ Ordered Cat Noir watching the villain turn around to attack Fire King, but she got pulled away by Ladybug and Fire King before using his fire, he fell down on his knees crying in pain, followed by his lava markings on his suit blink.
„What‘s going on?“ Asked Lady Frost standing on the outside of the locomotive. Ladybug observed the fire-themed superhero shorty, then shrieked as Nostalgica freed herself from the yo-yo and ran towards the Spaniard.
Cat Noir used his wooden staff to push the woman down, then picked Fire King up and ran away from the danger zone, afterward looked back to see Lady Frost make under Nostalgica‘s feet an ice ground to make her slip.
Cat Noir disappeared with Fire King behind a car, then Fire King destransformed himself back into his civilian self, then Cat Noir recognized Rollan‘s face.
„This is the third time I felt like this,“ Commented Rollan scratching his head, while Coal walked up at the owner. „Something is wrong with us, but I don‘t know what,“
„You had this issue more times before?“ Questioned Cat Noir curious. „Why are you still using this miraculous? Can‘t you talk with Ladybug about its issues?“
„I don‘t want to leave the team, just because I can‘t use my miraculous anymore,“
„You can tell her how you feel about it. She may borrow you another miraculous. Sure you or Lady Frost weren‘t planned to be in our team, but at the moment it is good, that we have more heroes working with us,“
„You think this will work?“ Questioned Rollan getting up, then heard Lady Frost cry as she flew against the locomotive. „Lady Frost!“
„Don‘t worry, Rena Rouge is around. She‘s gonna help us as well,“ Commented Cat Noir. „Just stay here and wait until we‘re done, okay?“ Asked Cat Noir placing his hand on Rollan‘s shoulder, which sighed and nodded. „And don‘t worry, your secret is save with me,“ Cat Noir said returning to the match, then Rollan glimpsed over a car to see Lady Frost create under Ladybug and Nostalgica‘s feet a small ice-path, then Ladybug pushed the villain against the locomotive and she lost her wand.
„Cataclysm!“ Shouted Cat Noir jumping against the wand to break it, then the akuma flew out of it.
„Good job!“ Complimented Ladybug heading to the akuma to catch it.
„Watch it!“ Shouted Lady Frost creating an ice wall to deflect the ray attacks coming from the chest of the woman.
„She must have an amok as well,“ Commented Cat Noir, then Ladybug threw up her yo-yo to reveal her mysterious object which was a car tire.
„A car tire?“ Asked Ladybug, then Cat Noir quickly pulled the tire over Ladybug to protect her from getting hit by one of Nostalgica‘s electronic shocks. „Oh!“ Ladybug commented, then she grabbed the tire and held it in front of her to deflect the next attacks.
„Lady Frost, Rena Rouge, take her from the sides,“ Warned Ladybug, then Lady Frost threw one ice-ray against the supervillain, which deflected it with her ray and someone whistled and it was Ladybug holding her tire on the ground and Cat Noir kicked with his feet on the tire to put her down.
„Well done,“ Complimented Rena Rouge running along with Lady Frost to the villain, then Lady Frost held her hand down against the woman while the fox-themed heroine pulled out of the woman‘s neck the necklace, then dropped it on the ground to break it with her feet to reveal the blue feather.
„Fist Bump, lady,“ Asked Rena Rouge holding out her fist at Lady Frost, which smiled, then both looked at Ladybug restoring everything back to normal, followed by the villain transforming back into an elderly lady, which was confused and startled.
„Mrs. Kurtzberg, are you alright?“ Asked Ladybug getting down to the woman to take a look at her.
„Where am I? What happened?“ Questioned the senior holding her hand in front of her.
„We will take you back home. Your daughter and your grandson were worried sick about you, as they were informed about your akumatization,“
„I was akumatized?“ Asked the woman in shock, then Ladybug moved her hands to calm the woman down.
„Everything went back to normal. You‘re now here with us,“ Said Ladybug, then several citizens appeared along with one journalist to witness the finished action by the superheroes.
„No interviews with me. This fox‘s gotta go home,“ Warned Rena Rouge getting out of the place leaving Cat Noir back with Ladybug and Lady Frost.
„Did you leave this locomotive here?“ Asked one citizen looking at Lady Frost while pointing at the train.
„Sure,“ Responded Lady Frost, then he took out his camera. „Can I take a picture of you and me in front of this? I want to send it to my grandfather. He loves locomotives,“
„Okay, why not?“ Asked Lady Frost taking the spot in front of the train along with the teenage boy.
Around Ladybug and the senior appeared the crowd and the journalist to interview here.
„Ladybug, Ladybug tell us! Was it really hard to defeat this villain or just like the same?“ Questioned the journalist.
„Sorry, I have to carry this woman back to her family,“ Stated Ladybug, then the woman looked at the journalist, which had eye contact with her.
„Madame, what have you done during the time as a villain? Could you remember anything? What exactly made you do that?“ Asked the journalist scaring the woman, which tried to get up, but fell down on her knees.
Ladybug got sad, then helped the woman up slowly and moved her further while the other citizens kept bothering.
„Come on, we have to go home,“ Warned Ladybug walking the woman along the Parc des Vosges to the end, where Roger Raincomprix stood checking his vehicle and saw the superheroine carrying the woman.
„Ladybug, shall I take her home?“ Questioned the agent watching the woman, which seemed to have a white face. „Is she alright?“
„I‘m not sure,“ Responded Ladybug looking at the face of the woman, which seemed to have no reaction and the senior stopped placing her hand in front of her chest, then dropped down on the ground shrieking Ladybug.
„Mrs. Kurtzberg!“ Shouted Ladybug, then Roger got down on his knees grabbing his walkie-talkie to make a call.
„Lieutnant Roger Raincomprix. I need immediately an ambulance. Senior around the 80s got unconscious…...I can‘t feel a heartbeat at the moment…….first aid will be performed…..roger, that,“ Ended Roger, then moved the woman's head uo, while Ladybug stood there in shock looking at the man about to perform CPR. „Just don‘t stand there, help!“ Shouted the policeman making Ladybug gulp, then Lady Frost appeared along with Cat Noir, which saw what was up. The viewers appeared as well, then the journalist ordered the cameraman to turn the camera off and observed the police at the work.
„I need someone to close the space around us and someone to do the chest compression,“ Ordered Roger, then Cat Noir got down to help him and Ladybug remained in shock, while Lady Frost looked around to see, what the agent meant and moved at the road to stay aside, followed by two teens to form a barrier to prevent people to drive into their line.
Rollan got out slowly from the car to see, what was going on and got closer to the scene. One of the citizens waved at Rollan, then ran towards the boy.
„Are you able to perform CPR?“ Questioned the man making Rollan shake his head. „Please go home or block the road along with the others,“
„Okay,“ Commented Rollan racing at the end of the road to stay three persons away from Lady Frost, which was looking at Ladybug, which had frozen at looking the two males trying to bring the senior back to life.
