MoodShifter

Adrien sleeps soundly before a sound downstairs wakes him. He gets up and walks downstairs peeking around corners. He watches as three people walk in with Natalie, There is one adult with brown hair and green eyes her hair up in a messy bun. A younger girl stands next to her. She tightens her ponytail by pulling her brunette hair promptly. Behind them walks a younger boy with the same brunette hair as the grown woman and he has brown eyes.
The young girl smiles giggling, "Remember when that dog made a fish face at us at the airport?"
The male giggles loudly, "Y-yeah."
They both chuckle at each other loudly before the woman shushes them. "Ethan! Chrystal! Will you two be quiet?!"
The boy looks at his feet apologetically, "Yes, mama."
The girl sighs, "Sorry auntie."
Mr. Agreste stands in front of them calmly, "It's good to see you, Desiree."
The woman yawns tiredly, "Good to see you too Gabe."
Chrystal looks shocked, "It is..." She looks at her blue watch, squinting her eyes and groaning, "mmmmmm...."
Desiree blinks concerned and leans over to look at the watch, "Press the-"
"What."
"The-"
"What."
Desiree points at the watch, "The button, Chrystal."
"Where."
"It's right-"
"What." Chrystal says looking confused.
"Right th-"
Chrystal presses the button and the watch face lights up with vibrant rainbows in her face. Her eyes widen and her jaw drops.
Ethan stares, "The colors...."
Chrystal smiles, "You can get the best things in Las Vegas..." Her face goes blank as the colors die, "What were we talking about?"
"Ahem," Desiree gestures to Gabriel, "This is your uncle, Gabriel.
Chrystal nods, ".......... Cool....." she walks up to him and pokes his stomach as she looks up at his face, "Are there more of you?"
Gabriel raises a brow, "........ More of what?"
"More uncles...."
Desiree chuckles, "Yes, Crystal, remember my husband? Gary."
Chrystal gasps, "Oh my gosh uncle Gary...." she pats Gabriel and looks at him again, scanning him, "....... You must be a different model...." she walks off, looking absolutely exhausted. She lays on the floor and curls up, "This is a nice floor."
Desiree sighs, "Okay, you.... You are too jetlagged to walk so-"
Gabriel nods, "Natalie, take them to a room while Desiree and I talk."
Natalie nods and leads Ethan and Chrystal upstairs. Adrien runs back to his room silently and peeks out as they pass. He watches them go down to a different room as they stumble in and close the door. He sneaks back downstairs and silently makes his way to his father's office. Desiree sits down and Mr. Agreste finally covers a yawn.

Desiree points a finger, "So you were tired!"
Gabriel sighs, "Yes fine. I'm tired. But who wouldn't be tired at 2 AM?"
She nods, "Good point. So what did you want?"
"The welding company. They recently paired up with the local carpenting company didn't they?"
"Yes."
Gabriel nods, "I want you're grandfather to send in a team. This place seems bland and boring after so long. Adrien is getting older and I think a change in his surroundings will help him be used to change if he wants to move as an adult. I think having a family tie to the Clay Company would-"
Desiree tilts her head, "What? Get you a discount?"
"Give him something to do. That's why I asked you to bring Chrystal and Ethan. I have a home set up in the city and I want him to stay with you with them to keep him company."
Desiree crosses her arms, "What makes you think Bud will accept this after your family cut us off?"
"The same reason I didn't sue you for breaking my nose seventeen years ago. It wasn't under my control."
The woman scratches the back of her head, "Yeah sorry about that. You know I was aiming at Sam, right?"
Gabriel sighs "...... I still have trouble breathing out of my left nostril..."
"I'll pull some strings. And remember, you got more family than just Adrien. Don't think you're all alone anymore." Desiree stands and starts to head out. Adrien again finds himself sprinting back up the stairs and into his bedroom as Desiree passes. He walks back to bed and lays down, trying to sleep. But he can't and ends up laying there staring at the ceiling until morning.

He gets up and walks out into the hall to see Ethan walking down the hall and playing his game. Adrien stares blankly and pokes the boy in the shoulder. Ethan pauses his game and looks up at him silently.
Adrien gives an awkward wave, "Hello....."
Ethan gains a goofy grin, "Aye, cousin. You're awake!"
"Yeah.... Is there anyone else?"
"My mom is downstairs having coffee. And Chrystal is... Oh wait you haven't met her. She's this way." Ethan leads the blonde down and goes inside to see Chrystal passed out in one of the beds. He pokes her.
"Wake up. Aye. Chrystal."
Chrystal groans and rolls over.
"Wake up." he looks at Adrien, "help."
Adrien blinks, "........." he pokes the girl in the cheek, "Chrystal?"
Chrystal groans again.
Ethan smiles, "I have an idea." He walks to his suitcase and pulls out a airhorn. He pulls out a zippy tie and wraps it around the button. He pulls the tie tight and throws it onto Chrystal, covering his ears. The airhorn blares and the female growls, sitting up with a dark and deeply angered look. She gets up and walks to the window where she promptly throws it out. It flies far and lands in the middle of the sidewalk, scaring people and sending them scrambling away from the noisy thing in fright. Chrystal walks over to the two boys and grits her teeth, "..... What?"
Ethan is perfectly cheery, "Time to wake up!!"
Adrien looks mildly terrified as he tries to smile but it just looks like he told a joke no one understands and is just sitting there nervously hoping nobody would ridicule him for it, "Hello....?"
Chrystal blinks and tilts her head. She opens her arms and gives Adrien a hug before falling asleep on his shoulder with a snore.
The blonde pokes her and looks around, "....... You know I have school in an hour, right?"
Ethan sighs, "I'll get another air horn."

About an hour later Chrystal walks in with Adrien to a classroom. She was somehow able to get herself ready, wearing a blue and turquoise spotted summer dress with a lighter blue jacket to cover her shoulders. She tightens her silk ribbon and sighs. It's a strange ribbon tied back in a bow on the top of her ponytail and the bow seems to sit nicely on her head like a cartoon. She holds a wooden rectangle box with a silver handle and golden clasps holding it shut like a wooden suitcase. Her sidebang is short and swept to the right with a small bit of her hair holding a sky blue highlight, her hair being very wavy and curling at the ends looks very fluffy with volume.
Adrien looks around, "I think you might find a good place in the back. Just try not to fall asleep."
Chrystal yawns, "Kay..."
She stands at the front and looks around at the students that are already there. Her eyes land on Chloé and she rubs her eye as the blonde seems to glare at her
Chloé crosses her arms, "Adrikins, just who is this girl and why are you with her?"
Adrien rubs his arm, "She's-"
Chrystal growls darkly, "I'm the girl that can turn any girl from girlfriend to ex in 12 seconds flat." Her voice lightens a bit in false kindness, "Now would you kindly," it darkens again, "stay out of my cousin's business. If there's going to be any problems, you can take it up with me, got that Barbie? Oh and lay off the conch pink lipstick. Makes you look like plastic." The brunette turns and walks up to the back of the class, sitting next to Nathanaël quietly.
Adrien blinks and smiles, scratching the back of his head, "Heh. Jet lag must be messing with her a little. I know how tired she must be."
Chloé raises a brow, "Then why did you bring her to class?!"
He walks to his seat and plants himself, grinning, "I think that's our business, thank you very much."
Alya and Marinette look impressed.
Alya smiles, "Wow, that was incredible! Three minutes into class and she's already chucking pick axes at Chloé's ego!" She grins, "We should really talk to her."
Marinette rubs the back of her neck and shrugs, "I dunno. What if she's hostile to everyone?"
Alya chuckles, Come on! I'm sure she just sensed something about Chloé that made her snap! I mean, who wouldn't?"
Chrystal sits in the back. She opens the wooden box to reveal multiple colored pencils, chalk pastels and oil tablets inside. Nathanaël's jaw drops and he watches her pull out one of the professional drawing pencils and start to make small drawings. They're not as good or realistic as his but it's still a surprise.
Nathanaël whispers quietly, "Where did you get that?"
Chrystal lifts her head, "Hmm?" she sighs in slight annoyance, "Oh jeez here we go. Yes I draw and no, I will not draw you and your friends. Everyone always asks me the same thing over and over again and I just-"
No that's not it. I love art too." The redhead pulls out his sketchbook and opens it for her, showing her his drawings. Chrystal's eyebrows raise and she looks impressed.
She looks closely and nods, "They're lovely. I'm not that good but that's mainly because I spend all my time writing stories."
"What kinds of stories?"
"Oh yknow. The usual. An angel meets a grim reaper and they slowly fall in love all while denying it to their friends and family. All of this romance is happening while some dark angels are raising a monster to attack the humans and all the while their sanity is slipping away. It's nothing."
Nathanaël sounds interested, "What's it called? Can I read it?"
Chrystal smiles, "Heh. Don't call me a narcissist but it's called Crystal Wings. Mainly because the Angel has the ability to turn her wings to crystals and fight."
He smiles, "It sounds fantastic. I love writing comics but I can never come up with a good story for them, and if I do I can't find dialogue quite right."
Chrystal taps her chin, "Hmm.... I think I can help you with that."

They chat during class about different scenes of stories, different types of stories and how they could be drawn. At the end of class Marinette walks back to them with Alya.
Marinette seems somewhat nervous, "Hello. You must be Adrien's cousin! I'm Marinette and this is Alya and we were- uh..."
Alya smiles, "Wondering what you would be doing later and if maybe you would like us to hang out with you and Adrien!"
Chrystal nods, "That sounds great. I'd love to. And I have a hard time remembering names so don't be offended if I forget yours. It's lovely to meet you. You must be my cousin's friends."
Alya nods, "Yep we are! And we would like to get to know you after school!"
Chrystal shrugs "Well, jellybean and I we-"
She tilts her head, "Jellybean? You mean Nathanaël, right? points to the redhead as he gathers his things.
Chrystal nods, "Yes. Like I said I'm not good with names. So I give people nicknames. He's sweet and adorable so I call him jellybean."
Nathanaël covers his face and blushes, "A-adorable?" He moves his pinkie out of the way of his right eye.
Adrien walks back to them, smiling, "What do you want to do here next since you've seen my friends?"
Chrystal smiles, "I heard there's a ceramics class here. I'd love to go there."
Adrien tilts his head questioningly, "You sure you wanna go there? The other students in that class can be a little loud and rambunctious."
The brunette shrugs, "I'm sure it can't be that bad. Oh yeah and these two sound like they want to hang out after school, is that alright?"
Adrien smiles, "Sure, I'd love for my friends to get to know my family better." He looks around, "So where's Ethan? Wasn't he coming with us?"
Chrystal chuckles, "Oh he's... Around..." she points at the teacher's desk.
Ethan pops up and whines, "How'd you know I was here?!"
"You're wearing a bright red shirt with a dinosaur on it. You're kind of easy to spot especially when you crawl under the teacher's desk.
"You ruin the fun sometimes." Ethan looks at Ms. Bustier as she stands still at the board she had been lecturing from. He points a finger, "And what's your excuse?!"
Ms. Bustier blinks,  "...... I didn't think I needed one..."
Ethan groans and throws up with hands, "Fine! Let's just go to another class!!" He walks to Adrien and they both walk out. Marinette waves and walks out with Alya and Chrystal gathers her things and looks at Nathanaël who still hasn't left.
Chrystal tilts her head, "Do you happen to know where the ceramics class is?"
Nathanaël looks up at her, "Yes, that's my next class actually." He nods towards the door and she follows him out.
"Funny, I thought you would take a drawing class."
"That's what it used to be but so many people wanted a ceramics class and the budget only had enough money for one of them."
Chrystal sighs, "That's sad. Is the teacher nice at least?"
Nathanaël smiles, "Oh yeah, Mr. Archer is the best. He's also very poetic."
They walk into the class and a man in a grey beret wearing a button up shirt with flowers and leaves on it greets them. He holds a walking stick in one hand that looks like it's been sanded down and carved to be smooth. He puts up a fist for a fist bump, "whoi."
Chrystal tilts her head, "What's that mean?"
"Wood hole oceanographic institute. Hey I got a neat little poem for you." He hands them both a small piece of paper as they both continue in towards the seats, "And remember. At the tips of bright fingers, the universe lingers.
Chrystal reads the poem out loud. " 'lavender pink, orange and blue. I live to think, the sky is you.' Aww. Is he normally like that?"
Nathanaël smiles, "Yes. It's really cool too."
They sit in the back far corner and Nathanaël rolls up his sleeves picking up a tied up plastic bag from the shelf. He puts it on the little table in front of him and opens it to show a small bird made of clay. Chrystal sits next to him.
*timeskip brought to you by Chat's left foot*

The next day, Chrystal sits in her normal seat next to Nathanaël, her schedule having been made official that morning.
Chloé stands crossing her arms and glaring at Chrystal while muttering something to Sabrina under her breath.
Chrystal looks up, hearing them laugh at her and she narrows her eyes at them, "Something funny, Barbie?"
Chloé scoffs, "Oh nothing. We were just talking about how ridiculous all that blue looks on you! I mean honestly. A blue watch, blue rose ring on one hand, a turquoise gem ring on the other, blue sapphire earrings, two blue bracelets on the right hand, blue nail polish, blue lipstick and a bright blue crystal necklace to top it off? You look ridiculous!"
Chrystal looks highly unamused, "Did you spray on that tan yourself?"
Adrien spit takes his water and covers his mouth and Ethan lets out an airy laugh.
Chrystal grins with a soft voice, “You look a little orange…”
The blonde growls, "Oh you little-"
"Bite me, brat."
Chloé crosses her arms, "You shouldn't talk to someone so powerful like that. I could have my daddy fire your grandfather and then you won't have reason to be here with his precious welding company!"
Chrystal pulls out a laminated paper with writing on it and a signature on the bottom. She holds it up, "Wrong. My grandpa has a permit from the president of France. Take a look." She hands the laminated page over.
Chloé reads it aloud, "I hereby grant the Clay Welding Company permission to work throughout all of France signed François Hollande?!"
Chrystal grabs the permit back, "This is a laminated page but it's just a copy. That proves how important it is. President beats mayor. I win. So I'll say this again. Bite me."
Chloé grits her teeth and stamps a foot, sitting down next to Sabrina, growling, "She is just so..." She grits her teeth and beats a fist on the table.
Sabrina looks hopeful, "Maybe we should try something else to humiliate her??"
Chloé thinks back to earlier that morning.

Nathanaël had been cornered by a school bully who had been towering over him. Before the bully had done anything, Chloé remembers seeing Chrystal run in and jump between the bully and Nathanaël, her arms stretched out as if she were acting like a shield. She had first glared at the bully but seeing no change in his motive, she gave a large psychotic smile and wide eyes, a look that seemed as if it could be a form of hypnotism if looked at for too long. The bully had started trembling and backed away until he was no longer in her gaze. Chrystal reverted to her normal self and turned, giving Nathanaël a soft comforting hug.

Chloé looks up and back at Chrystal. Her eyes slide over to Nathanaël and she smirks, "Here's an idea." After some quiet whispering, Sabrina gets up and walks back to stand in front of Nathanaël.
"Uh, hi." She waves and Nathanaël looks up from his sketchbook, blinking at her, "So, I was wondering if you'd like to go for a date at the movie theatre this Saturday?" The female asks, trying her best to look innocent.
Nathan twiddles his fingers and looks down at his hands, "Um. I guess that sounds alright..."
Chloé snickers and lets out an ‘Eww!’ which sets off Sabrina to follow up with a laugh. They both start laughing loudly at the joke as Sabrina starts back towards her seat and Nathanaël frowns, realizing it was all a heart wrenching joke to mock him. He closes his sketchbook, the feeling to draw having left him as he puts his head down on the table and sighs.
Chrystal on the other hand looks infuriated. She looks at Nathanaël, then back to Chloé with a look of pure rage. She grits her teeth and stands up, walking down towards the blonde with balled up fists.
Adrien senses violence and jumps up, he and Ethan grabbing her arms just as she reaches Chloé, "Chrystal, no! You don't want to get in trouble!"
Chrystal leans in close, and whispers in a dark voice, "Do you know how much a stunt like that lowered my self esteem back in America?" She starts to breathe heavily, raising her voice, "DO YOU?!" She snarls, shining her teeth at the blonde, "apologize. NOW."
"Why should I? All he ever does is draw stupid scribbles that won't amount to anything anyways. Honestly, since when is art any good when he'll most likely be scrubbing my bathroom floor in a few years?"
"You're wrong." Chrystal hangs her head and pants, trembling with rage as she looks up with wide eyes, "YOU'RE WRONG! HE IS GOING TO MAKE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS A DAY MAKING BEAUTIFUL ART. HE'LL HAVE A LOVING SPOUSE AND KIDS THAT HE'LL BE THRILLED TO DRAW FOR EVERY DAY BE IT A SIMPLE FLOWER TO DRAWING THEIR BEAUTIFUL PARENTS AT THEIR WEDDING. AND WHERE WILL YOU BE?! MISERABLE AND ALONE! YOU SPOILED, STUCK UP BRAT!!!" She hangs her head again, trembling and shaking as she pants and starts to relax.
Adrien pulls her back to stand up straight and pats her back, "Okay, wow, she struck a nerve..."
Ethan chuckles nervously, "That's Chrystal for you..."
Chloé lifts her hand and looks at her nails. She sighs and waves her hand dismissively, "She can leave. Maybe go punch a wall somewhere."
Chrystal turns and speed walks to the door, her head still down as she swings a fist and leaves and hole in the wooden door before opening the it and walking out. She slams the door shut hard enough to break off one of the hinges as she storms out and down the steps to head outside.
Ms. Bustier stands with a dropped jaw, "........... Is she......"
Adrien scratches the back of his head, "Oh yeah, she'll be okay. She let off most of the steam, I'm sure she'll-" he stops talking as a loud enraged screech sounds outside from his cousin, loud enough to be heard from in the room, "........ Yeah..... Maybe I should check on her..."
Ethan tilts his head, "Want me to come?"
"No it's alright." Adrian smiles, "I'll take care of this." He forces the door open and runs out, but instead of following his cousin out, he runs straight for the bathroom.

Chrystal sits on the school steps and hangs her head, her rage turning to a flood of emotions as she begins to cry quietly, "My poor little jellybean. Not only did he have to handle that torment but he had to see me like that. He must be so scared..." She puts her hands over her eyes, "M-my poor, sweet j-jellybean...."

Somewhere, in his little mothy moth cave thing, Hawkmoth stands in all his mothiness because moths. He chuckles, "Ah. Someone is upset because of torment someone else had to endure? Interesting. So many emotions poured into one human being, seems the poor girl doesn't even know whether the urge to laugh or cry is stronger than the other sometimes." He turns one of his butterflies into an Akuma and sends it off with his usual words, "Fly away, little Akuma and darken her heart."
The Akuma reaches Chrystal's blue necklace and it turns a dark purple and black. She looks up with dark eyes as her new master speaks to her, «MoodShifter. You seem to be a sad little victim of your emotions. Now is your chance to control your emotions and give them power. Rise up and accept your colorful form. Go. Use your abilities to protect the one you hold so dear."

Crystal stands, her skin changing to a light grey. Her hair and clothes change to that of a dress with a high collar and shaws, lining her arms. Four colors make up this outfit's shape, purple, red, blue and yellow.
(Check the picture)

MoodShifter smiles her wide psychotic smile and floats into the air, flying around the school towards the classroom window.

Adrien stands in the bathroom. He sighs, "Will you hurry up?!"
Plagg seems to be tangled up in some thin black thread. He squirms and tries to push it off, "I thought you were going to comfort her! Why need me?"
"There's no time for that. It only takes a few minutes for someone to be Akumatized and with how angry she was, there's no way I'd've been able to calm her down without her smacking me across the face and running off to break something. Let's just take care of the Akuma and get it over with."
"Fine. But why were you carrying around this string?!"
Adrien scratches the back of his head and chuckles, "Desiree said that particular spool of thread was lucky..."
Plagg untangles one of the strings and kicks it off of his foot, "You're so gullible." He finally pulls a thread that makes it all fall off and sighs, "You owe me cheese for rushing me."
"Fine. But for now, CLAWS OUT!" The blonde yells as he transforms and leaps out the bathroom window.
Chrystal floats away from the school carrying Nathanaël gently in bridal style. She has turned purple, her hair and clothes curling as she has heart shaped pupils. The villain carries him away cuddling him close to her as he trembles and stutters.
"P-Please put me down... Being kidnapped isn't exactly fun..."
MoodShifter nuzzles into his cheek and giggles, "Aww, but you're so cute and sweet. I only want to protect you.~" she says as she floats to the park, sitting on the water fountain concrete, "After all, you're my sweet little jellybean."
"...... Chrystal?" Nathanaël tilts his head, surprised, "Is that really you?"
She smiles, “Yes, but for now call me Moodshifter alright? Why else would I want to keep you safe and cuddly?"
The redhead looks around at the area around them to see the air is a semi-transparent purple in a dome about half a quarter mile all around them. Almost everyone had cleared out in fear but the ones staying seem to be couples, too infatuated with each other to run as they just stand there, hugging and cuddling in bliss.
And here comes Chat Noir and Ladybug. They land just outside the dome and look to see MoodShifter inside.
Ladybug sighs, "Looks like the people inside are so in love they can't move."
Chat sighs, "So what do we do?"
Ladybug steps inside cautiously, "Hmm...." She looks around, "I guess it doesn't effect those who aren't around the one they love."
Chat takes a step back, "Well I'll keep a lookout from here! Good luck!"
"Fine." She walks in and looks at MoodShifter, "She looks so happy...." She mutters, "Not doing any harm so far but.... That could change very quickly." She starts to guide people out of the dome and tells them to go take shelter before walking back in and walking up slowly to MoodShifter, "Okay. Nice and easy." Ladybug takes a deep breath and waves, "Hello."
MoodShifter looks up and smiles, "Hiya hiya, how ya doin? Having a lovely day?" She says as Nathanaël sits in her lap.
Ladybug smiles, "Yes, actually it was quite nice. Heh. For a villain you sure are being sweet." She clears her throat, "So, since you're being so nice, could you maybe hand over whatever has the Akuma in it, please?"
MoodShifter simply smiles and looks up at her, "Hmm... No, sorry. I'm afraid I can't do that. I'm using it to keep my jellybean safe and sound."
Hawkmoth speaks into her mind, «Now's your chance. Take her miraculous if you want to keep him safe!»
MoodShifter giggles, "Okie dokie. Say, miss Ladybug. It'd be awful nice if you could hand over your earrings, please?"
Ladybug sighs, "Right. I see we're going to have to do this the hard way. So just to keep 'jellybean' out of danger while we do this, could you at least hand him over?"
MoodShifter taps her chin and tilts her head, "Hmm. Sorry. No can do, sugar shrew. I'm keeping him nice and safe right here on my lap."
Ladybug sighs, "Hmm...." She dashes forward and grabs Nathanaël's arm before swinging her yoyo and pulling them out of range in a flash.
MoodShifter switches from purple to red in an instant, flaring up in a fiery inferno. She screeches and flies after them but Chat jumps in the way, extending his baton to knock her back into the water fountain while he stands on a light post. All the water has evaporated by the time she falls inside of it, she floats up and dashes at him, raising a hand and shooting a fire ball at him. Chat smiles and extands his baton, whacking the ball back at her, it knocking her back against a wall. The hero hears Ladybug calling him over and waves, “I have to go for now, I’ll see you around!”
Moodshifter growls and sits up, as he uses his baton to get away quickly. Her rage fades and she floats into the air, reverting back to her multicolored look, except where the colors red and purple were is now grey. She regains her psychotic smile and starts to float around calling out in search of her jellybean.
Ladybug pants and sighs in relief on top of a building. She looks at Nathanaël and sighs, "You okay?"
Nathan stands and inspects himself, "Nothing broken. Might have burned the bottom of my shoes that last second though."
"Alright good. Good that you're okay. Not the burnt shoes thing." She smiles once Chat lands next to them, "Alright. How do we beat her?"
Chat shrugs, "How should I know?"
"When you last saw her. How did she look?"
"She looks as psychotic as ever." He twitches a brow, "But how is that supposed to help?"
Ladybug freezes up and hides behind a chimney with the other two, "Shh!"
MoodShifter can be heard, floating down the street in her neutral form, "Oh jeeeeeellyyyyybeeeeeeaaaaan.~ Where oh where is my sweet jellybean???"
Ladybug peeks around to look at her. She sighs, "Hey!" Her voice bounces off of the buildings, giving no hints as to where it's coming from.
"Yeeeesss? Have you got my jellybean, Ladybug girl?"
"Are you ready to stop being crazy?" Chat asks, shouting out to her.
MoodShifter tilts her head, "Crazy?" Her psycho smile is, not enough to scare viewing children but as far as this universe goes, enough to scare anyone, "Why, I'm not cRaZy~ I'm simply, hypomanic."
Ladybug tilts her head, "Hypomanic? Care to explain?"
"Oh yes! Being hypomanic is like having eaten as many candy bars as I can fit in my mouth! A sugar rush, without the sugar!" She giggles, "But I'm awfully touchy! And once all my emotions are used up, I'll feel sleepy and be very unhappy. I don't want that. Which begs the question: How could something so enticing have such awful side effects? I don't like it. So why don't you hand over my jellybean before you make me do something we'll all regret?"
Ladybug sighs, "We'll meet you at the the Eiffle Tower in an hour."
(I hope i spelled that right)
MoodShifter giggles, "Heh. Alright. I'll meet you there~" she turns and floats off in that direction.
Chat sighs, "So why the hour?"
Ladybug taps her chin and looks at Nathanaël, "Hmm..." She points at him, "You seem to bring out her emotions best. We could use your help. Chat, know any movie makeup artists?"
Chat blinks, "Hmm... Yep! I know just the girl!" He waves a hand for them to follow and takes off.
Ladybug grabs Nathanaël and swings off after him. After an hour of the makeup artist working her charm, Nathanaël appears to have bruises all over his face and neck. The redhead stands in the mirror and puts a hand to one of the bruises on his cheek.
"It looks so real..."
Ladybug smiles, "That's the plan. Now you just have to come up with some story as to how you got your" she makes quotation marks with her fingers, " 'wounds' and after a little tear jerking, we force the next emotion out of her."
Chat smiles, "You are just too smart sometimes, my lady. Let's get going." He waves to the makeup artist and smiles, walking out.

*short trip to the Eiffle Tower*

Nathanaël stands behind one of the buildings around the monument with Ladybug who holds a giant, not-yet-inflated rubber pool floaty.
"I'm not sure why my lucky charm of the day is a rubber pool floaty but we have a limited amount of time now so we need to be fast." The heroine says, gently pushing Nathanaël out into the open.
He takes a deep breath and starts to think of painful things, having a big imagination, he is able to force up some tears as he makes his way over to MoodShifter. He makes a realistic sobbing and runs over to her, 'crying', "Moodshifter!"
MoodShifter turns around and gasps, flying and kneeling to him. She cups his face gently, "What happened?!"
Nathanaël sobs, "Ladybug was flying me over here and I slipped out of her arm and fell in the street, landing on a car!"
MoodShifter puts a gentle hand on the bruise makeup and wax on his face to imitate swelling, "Why didn't they take you to a hospital?! My poor jellybean!" Tears form in her eyes and her lip trembles.
"I just wanted to be here on time. I didn't want you to hurt anyone..."
MoodShifter tears up and begins to cry, turning blue. She hugs him and sobs into his shoulder, as water starts to pour into the area like a giant faucet, flooding the place.
Ladybug swings in and grabs Nathanaël as the water level covers MoodShifter and engulfs her. She uses her yoyo to pull them up to the top of the tall monument, holding him by his arm, "HEY!"
MoodShifter stops crying and looks up. Her eyes widen and she gains a look of pure terror as the water sweeps away. She puts a hand out, "N-NO!! DON'T DROP HIM, PLEASE!!" She switches from blue to yellow immediately, screaming as electricity surges and shocks about a mile around her, luckily not touching Chat.
Ladybug uses the rubber floaty and covers herself and Nathanaël as a shield from the electricity.
The surge ends and Ladybug drops down slowly, as MoodShifter turns grey and passes out. She lands and, noticing her necklace is still colorful, she picks it up and throws it down, breaking it and the Akuma flutters out. She does the usual thing and purifies the Akuma, letting it fly away before throwing the rubber floaty into the air to fix everything.
Chrystal changes to normal and sits up, rubbing her head. She gasps and screams as Nathanaël walks over and kneels to her, "YOUR FACE!!!" She cups his face and starts to hyperventilate.
"I'm fine." He chuckles and peels off the wax of one of his 'bruises' to show it's fake.
Chrystal sighs in relief and hugs him, "So what happened?"
Chat runs over, "I got this. Ladybug, you take off. You're almost out of time."
Ladybug hears her earrings beep and she swings off quickly without another word.
Chat chuckles and helps Chrystal and Nathanaël to their feet, "Feeling alright?"
Chrystal tilts her head, "Yeah but what- ....... Oh.... I see. I was Akumatized wasn't I?"
"Yep, I'm afraid so. And before you ask, no you didn't hurt anyone."
Chrystal sighs, "Okay good. Thank you for the help." She smiles and hugs him, "You seem familiar though. But I won't pry. You probably don't want me looking into your identity."
Chat nods, "Do you want me to take you back to school or-"
"Can we walk? I could use a look around the city."
Chat grins, "Or do you just not wanna go back to school in a hurry?"
"Eh... Both. Mostly that last one...."
Nathanaël chuckles, "I'll show her the way back. We need some art inspiration anyways."
Chat smiles and gives a small, two finger salute, "Alrighty." He takes off, leaving them there.
Chrystal pats Nathanaël's head and smiles, "So you helped them, eh?"
"Heh. Yeah. I just wanted you back to normal, I guess." The redhead smiles and rubs his arm.
She smiles and pecks a kiss on his cheek, "Well I'm glad you did. Thank you."

Character info
Chrystal
Full name: Chrystal Leeann Clay
Favorite food: she loves seafood, especially tilapia. Say Adrien is forced to eat tilapia(since it’s a diet fish) and he really doesn’t like it. Chrystal will gladly take it. She also loves snow crab legs.
Favorite color: this one is easy, she loves blue. She is actually obsessed with it and, while not forcing blue onto anyone else, she will only really like something for her unless it’s hand made or blue.
Spirit animal: this is a tough one. I’m torn between horse(for her passive aggressive nature), Deer (for her protective nature of her friends and family) and the South American Potoo bird(because she is often derpy and silly but at times she can be really creepy and downright scary)
Extra: her memory isn’t just bad, it’s absolutely awful. She has such a hard time with names, she has to take a minute to remember even if she’s known them for about a year. She doesn’t usually forget her nicknames for people, but her memory is so awful that if she doesn’t constantly keep her mind on a subject she will completely forget about it and in a rush of adrennaline, she will forget everyone’s names, even their nicknames. And in a panic, she will forget where she is, what’s going on and sometimes who she is until she calms down. As far as dating goes, she will never turn someone down for a date. She always tries something before saying no. To her a date is just a way of two people testing their compatibility.

Ethan
Full name: Ethan Gabriel Watt(named after his uncle)
Favorite food: Will accept anything but it more inclined to choose pizza or pasta out of a lineup of food.
Favorite color: He constanly switches between red and green for a favorite color but he loves his dinosaur shirt so much and he doesn’t want to look like a Christmas card wearing red and green so he sticks with his red jacket.
Spirit animal: most definitely a ferret. He’s so rambunctious and random he will often say the most random things to break an awkward silence. Imagine Ed from Ed Edd n Eddy. like that, though he does have his serious and intellectual moments, often talking about the truth in life among his random sentences.
Extra: Ethan may be wacky and excitable, but he does have serious moments and is actually as protective of others as his cousin, Chrystal, if not a bit more protective. He also loves video games and will often look for video game merchandise.

Desiree
Full name: Desiree Ann Watt
Favorite food: nothing in particular. She has random cravings at times but doesn’t have any specific favorite.
Favorite color: She prefers to wear black and white but has a special soft spot for the color turquoise.
Spirit animal: She is related to the wild family known as the Clay family. At famliy events, she is often fun to watch when with the others but her will to have freedom and her passive aggressive nature will always put her heart with a horse.
Extra: Desiree will not tolerate being a doormat but holding a grudge is not in her nature. Just treat her nicely and she’ll be just as kind. She took in Chrystal and raised her after Chrystal’s father gave her up to keep her out of the clutches of RainbowMoon. She has many morals and virtues she has taught her son and niece over the years.
