You're The Music That's Been Playing In My Head: Book 2

The Dark Owl: Part 1

The school bell rings and everyone starts to head out. "How about we head over to my place and hang out?" Alya offers as we head out, Marinette and I smile about to agree when Mr. Damocles starts clapping and ushering us out of the school. "Come on hurry up, I don't have all day," Mari and I groan, seriously again? He's been doing this all week!

"Except we can't, we have to help my parents in the bakery," Mari tells Alya as we head out and she gives us a look of disbelief. "Again? You've been helping them all week!" We both apologize and we go our separate ways, quickly going home to drop off our bags before transforming into Ladybug and (s/n).

"Mr. Damocles really needs to stop doing this," I grumble as we meet up with Chat Noir and start our search for Mr. Damocles's hero persona: The Owl. For the past few weeks, he's been going around as The Owl imitating us as a hero but for the past week, he's been going a step farther and proceeding into dangerous situations or making a situation more dangerous, forcing us to come to the rescue.

Mr. Damocles is found at the park trying to help Whiskers down from a tree by climbing it, scaring the cat causing them both to fall. Quickly Chat and I use our staff/spear to catch the kitty while Ladybug uses her yoyo to grab The Owl. "Mr. Dam- Uh...Owl this is the fifth time this week we've come to your rescue." "You're really gonna get hurt one of these days. At least wear a helmet," Ladybug and Chat Noir tell him as we brought him down safely and gave Whiskers to his owners. "But you don't wear helmets."

"Mr. Owl we've told you multiple times already it's not the same for us we've got our hero suits and powers to help protect us," I explain and he nods. "I know but since I was a little boy I've only ever dreamed of becoming a real superhero," At this point, the news and the firemen had arrived.

"The exploits of Ladybug, (s/n), and Chat Noir have inspired some people to become superheroes themselves. But is it a good thing? Let's ask, today Ladybug, Chat Noir, and (s/n) have come to the aid of self-proclaimed new superhero The Owl," We hear Nadja explain the situation to the camera before directing a question to The Owl.

"Thanks to sound advice from my good friends, Ladybug, Chat Noir, and (s/n), I am certain I will do better next time," The three of our eyes widen before we facepalm, giving each other a look as The Owl continued. "I will be reviewing my weaponry and engage in extra training because wherever there's injustices there's The Owl! Owl Mist!" He pulls out a can of flour and starts shaking it causing everyone around him to close their eyes and cough before watching him run off, almost being hit by a car.

"Any comments Ladybug? (s/n)? Chat Noir?" "You know he's a great guy but to all the children you mustn't copy him ok? It's very dangerous." "Ladybug is right so don't try this at home ok kids?" Chat chimes in before I do. "It's great that you want to be a hero too but there are easier, safer ways to help Paris, volunteer at a shelter, or help plant trees. Even a small action can help a lot."d

With that, we take off and decide to just go ahead and do this afternoon's patrol. Once done we sit on a roof and discuss what we were gonna do about Mr. Damocles. "Mr. Damocles has a good heart but this is bound to end badly," Chat starts the conversation, LB letting out a long yawn.

"And we can't spend our entire time watching out for him either. It's turning into a full-time job." "Maybe we could scare him or something to help convince him to stop being a hero," I suggest and Ladybug quickly shakes her head no. "And shatter the poor man's dream? No way! On the contrary, maybe we should help him make his dream come true. He said all he wanted to be a hero even if it was just for one day."
