Ok, so imma start with Adriens p.o.v, since we haven't heard much from the cinnamon roll.

Adrien's p.o.v (told ya)
     Cop cars followed me as Chat, but they couldn't follow me down once I went into the subway. I quickly de-transformed, and walked out without a care. Once I was out of sight, Plagg came back out.
     He spoke with a mouthful of cheese. "Kid, if ya want my opinion, the thief was akumatized."
     "Yeah, I got that." I opened my hand to a chewed lollipop stick. "See this? The sculptor had a lollipop in his mouth earlier. How did I not see his jealously coming from a mile away?"
     Plagg looked up at me, wiping his mouth. "Wait. His or yours?"
     "Haha. Funny." I rolled my eyes. Now, where could this guy be?
(Now as Chat! Hooray!)
     I found out that the sculptor was working in a workshop. So naturally, I went myself to check it out. From the roof window, I could see pictures of SnapDragon posted on a wall. "Ha. Got ya copycat."
     I jumped down from an opening. No one was in sight, but that didn't mean I was alone.

Your p.o.v
     I glided around, once in a while stopping on a rooftop. My whip beeped, catching my attention.
     The handle extended, and Chat's face appeared. "Hey Chat, where are you?"
     He spoke quietly. "I'm in his den."
     I stared at the screen in confusion. "Um, who?"
     He looked away as he walked. "My copycat."
     I kept walking along the roof as we talked. "Come again?"
     "If you were there this morning you'd know what I'm talking about."
     I stopped. "Don't keep me waiting then, tell me where you are."
     "No way. This is between me and him." He glanced at me again, then he hung up. The screen went black.
     "Wha - hey! Not cool!" I tapped at the screen furiously. It lit up again, but it the tracking device started up, showing me exactly where he was.
     "Whoa, this thing is tracking him? Creepy, but useful at the moment." With a click, the screen went back into the handle. I cracked my whip out and glided to his location.

     About five minutes later, Chat called again. "Hurry up SnapDragon, I caught him in Theo Barber's workshop."
     "Already on my way."

     Once the building was in sight, my winds pulled in and I began plummeting. Thank god I landed through an opening. What I saw made my head ache.
   Chat, and other Chat.
     One had the other pinned to the ground. One was smiling, one was not.
     "Wow, he really does look like you."
     The one below replied. "Yeah, cause I am me."
     I looked at the one above. "Did you find his akuma?"
     "Inside his ring of course. Do the honors sweetheart." He held the other Chats hand out to me.
     Sweetheart? Chat, you're pushing it.
     I reached toward the hand to grab the ring. But I paused when the ring lost a paw mark. "Wow, it has the same powers as you too."
     "Well, he wouldn't be a copycat if he wasn't exactly like the real deal here."
     The one on the floor looked up at me. "If you believe I'm the real Chat Noir, ask him about our love, and my special name for you."
     "Uh."
     "Have I ever lied to you?" As to answer his own question, he winked.
     Ooh, that's the real Chat. Good, cause the real Chat would never call me sweetheart. He knows I'd drop him on his head for that.
     I took my hand away from his, and got closer to the Copycat.
     "Silly kitty, did you tell him our secret?"
     "O-our secret?"
     "The. Secret." I smiled as I moved in a bit closer. Worry was etched onto his face.
     "Oh, of course not my.... my.... dear."
     "We don't have a secret, and you don't know my...." I cringed when I said this. "Special name. You're the Copycat!"
     He shook his head in surprise. "I love you so much SnapDragon. Much more than this ally cat."
     "Sorry. Chat may annoy me to the point where I'm ready to slap him, but he has never lied I me."
     Chat gently rubbed his face, as if imagining me slapping him. "Thanks, I think." He then kicked Copycat off of him, sending him flying backwards.
     Copycat did multiple back-flips until he was a few feet away. "If I cannot have you, nobody can."
     I groaned. "That is such a cliché thing to say."
     Copycat raised his hand, and did Chats 'cataclysm' thingy. The black orb flickered in his hand as he raced forward. Quickly acting, I grabbed Chats chains and stood in front of him. Copycat broke them at the touch. The rest of the chain rusted off of Chats arms.
     Now free, Chat bashed Copycat into the wall with his a swift kick.
     We took to our battle stances. "Thank you my dangerous flower."
     I laughed. "Ok kitty, so do you really know where his akuma is?"
     "A photo of you in his pocket." Chat's miraculous continued to beep. "Lets make this quick shall we?"
     I nodded. Chat launched forward, but Copycat blocked him from attacking. They fought against each other, blocking the others moves. Even though Copycat had both staffs, Chat could keep up with him.
     I watched for a second looking for an error in his moves."He's just as skilled as Chat." I launched myself up onto a support beam.
     Copycat laughed. "I told you I'm better than him."
     I used my whip to pull a staff out of his hand. "I never said better. But we all know I'm better than both of you. It's obvious." I threw Chat his staff, so it could be a fair fight.
     They were at it again within seconds. Now would be a good time for a stone.
     "Alright, lets do this. Scale Stones!" As soon as the words left my mouth, my glove lit up. A rock formed in my palm, and I brought it down to eye level. "Oh my god, I love this one!"
     Chat looked up at me. "What does it do!?"
     I didn't answer him, because Copycat had knocked both of their staffs away, and started using his fists. Before Copycat could land a punch, I cracked my whip around his wrist. But it was actually Chat.
     "Hey, it's me!"
     "He's lying! I'm Chat!"
     I groaned. "Just be quiet already! Show me your rings. I wanna see how many pads you have left."
     Chat's miraculous beeped again, now only having one pad, and we both looked over at Copycat. His miraculous was full. I pulled back my whip, getting it off of Chats wrist. "Go ahead Chat."
     "My pleasure. I love cat fights." They started fighting again instantly.
     I scanned the area. A hook dangled above the two.
     "Ok, I got this."
     I ran behind Copycat and pulled on his tail. As he haunches over, I jumped up on him and grabbed the hook. I fastening it to his belt, and slammed the stone against his back. It broke open easily, and an orange sticky substance began to form. While I did this, Chat had grabbed the picture. Only Copycat's arms, legs, and head stuck out once it hardened. Chat ripped the picture in half, and let it fall to the floor.
     The akuma fluttered out of the paper, and I quickly sucked it into my whips handle. "Lets clean you up." A white butterfly emerged quickly after. "Fly away, akuma."
     Green light poured from the handle, and fixed everything that had been damaged.
     The sculptor fell. Chat caught him, then placed him on the ground.
     Chat looked up at me. "What was that sticky stuff?"
     "I don't know, but its pretty cool." I smiled as I placed my hands on my hips.
     "I'm so glad you could tell the real Chat from the fake."
     "When I figured out which one was really in love with me it was pretty easy. Plus his nickname for me had him trapped from the beginning."
     He rubbed his neck. "Heh. I don't know, I think that you will always be my sweetheart." He wiggled his eyebrows.
     "Yeah, and you're my ally cat."
     He smiled when I said my. Before he could say anything else, his miraculous beeped.
     "Better help him out. His crush just got crushed." With a bow, he ran away.
     I was left with a man on the floor.
     Yay.
     He held his forehead and looked around. "What am I doing here?" He then looked at me. "SnapDragon?"
     I smiled and handed him his photo. "Hi! Im sorry that I couldn't meet you this morning, but I saw what you made. Its amazing."
     "Oh no, it's alright." He pulled a pen out of his jacket pocket. "Can you autograph that for me?"
     I signed the piece of paper. "Sure! You've got some real talent." I handed the two items back.
     "Thank you SnapDragon. And don't worry. I know about you and Chat Noir. It's okay."
     I helped him up to his feet, and kept smiling. But now it seemed forced. "Uh, yep. There is something! Sure! Don't leak it to the press now!" I laughed uncomfortably.
     With a wave, I cracked my whip and launched myself into the sky once more.

     The next day in class, everyone was talking to one another. Except me. I would be talking to Alya, but her attention was to Nino as they whispered to one another. So I decided to doodle in my notebook. Stupid stuff like a bear on a skateboard, and a cloud raining tacos.
     Occasionally, I would see them look over at Adrien, then me, then him again.
     After exactly three minutes and twenty nine seconds, Alya sat back down and tuned her head to me. She opened her mouth, but I spoke first.
     I kept looking at my notebook, and spoke calmly. "I know you two are planning something, but I know it's not going to work, he jut doesn't see me that way."
     "I'm not planning anything! I just told Nino that we are going to the zoo tomorrow. That's all!"
     "We are?"
     She forced my head up and looked me in the eyes. "Yes. We are."
     Oh.
