Ladybug's Pov

Ok, I'm officially the worst superhero on this planet. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I TRIPPED OVER MY STUPID YO-YO?! Tikki would just laugh at me too like- rude. Anyways, I'm also not that strong and flexible so Tikki mentioned working out.

Ok this will be how it goes:
I try doing push-ups, they're not that hard right? I get on the floor tummy first and lift myself up. I'm quite proud I was able to lift myself up but now I need to do the actual exercise. My arms are shaky...and, I collapsed.

Next.

Star-jumps, they're not too bad. -30 seconds later- I'm- too- tired. No more...please! Why is my life like this?!

That's just one way, there are multiple ways it could end up one being me in hospital. Mhm, I'm that bad at physical activity...ANYWAYS! Eventually we fought the villain and I had used my lucky charm so now I need to...? "Throw it up in the air and say 'Miraculous Ladybug' to repair everything." I heard a voice in my head and I realised it was Tikki's. I did as told, "MIRACULOUS LADYBUG! There," and I went to go over to my partner.

"Hey M'lady, since we'll be fighting villains more often and stuff um..." "yes...?" "Did you wanna have like a little saying or whatever after we defeat the villains...?" He seemed so sincere, eh, I agreed, it would be cool I guess. "Ok yeah sure uh how about...we...pound it?" "Yes!" He seemed overly excited for this anyway, at the same time we fist bumped and said "pound it!" His ring and my earrings started beeping so we parted ways. I went back to school and he went God knows where.

Cat Noir's Pov

I was a bit shy to ask M'lady if we could have a signature thing for after our battles. She agreed though, which took a tone of weight off my shoulders. We decided on saying 'pound it' while fist bumping, I like it. At the same time we said "pound it!" Then our jewellery started beeping and we had to go.

See you soon M'lady.

3rd Person's Pov

They new heroes went back to the school bathrooms just where they left from. Marinette went to Alya and Nino and soon Adrien came too.

"Oh my gosh where were you girl?! I was worried sick, where did you actually go?" "I uh, needed to go to the um...bathroom! Yes I, needed t-to go to th-the bathroom and I figured I'd stay there a-and hide. Yeah...sorry for making you worry." Alya gave the princess a look indicating that she doesn't believe her. "Are you lying?" Marinette started to worry because she couldn't say:

'Yeah I was lying, I didn't tell you the part where I transformed into a superhero and saved Paris in a spandex suit with my partner that is in a black leather spandex suit. Hope you can forgive me for keeping my biggest secret to myself!'

No. Just no.

"Me? Lying? N-no w-why would you th-think that?" "Uh, 'cause you're stuttering like crazy and you seem scared?" "Th-that's because um, I am...still in, shock about the whole, villain, thing. Heh heh, yeah..." "are you sure you're not lying? Because you know you can tell me anything right, and Nino." The bluenette nodded her head refusing to speak knowing her voice would betray her. "Good. Now how about you prince boy. What's you're excuse?"

Adrien started to panic. He couldn't tell her that he was one of Paris' new superheroes and had to go save the day. "I- uh- same thing, actually. Um, but the only difference is, I stayed in the locker rooms and not the bathroom..." he crossed his fingers hoping they would believe him. "What's up with you two and running away at the worst timings? Like do you see Alya and I running away when there was danger in Paris?"

The royals looked at Nino blankly, "yes actually we do Nino. I saw Alya dragging you out of the school to film the whole thing. Am I wrong?" "U-uh...how did you see? You were in the bathroom!" Once again, she started to panic but then remembered the news reporters filming it live. "Be-because I saw it on the news. I saw you guys in the corner of the screen and in the background. I was watching on my phone considering I wasn't actually experiencing the whole thing." Lie.

She thought to herself, 'I'm gonna have to make up a list of excuses when I go home so I can get out of situations like this'. She was actually planning on doing so, she was also planning on training and working out. She already did a few sports like boxing and archery, but they didn't help out with flexibility. They helped with reflexes and fighting but the suit would betray her. The suit would keep her from moving too much because of how much it stuck to her body. She needed to get used to that. She decided she'd train every night on a rooftop while transformed to get used to it.

Adrien's Pov

Yes Marinette, cover for me, make sure I don't have to speak! What she was saying seemed like a little lie, and I could tell, but I couldn't help but believe it. It was so convincing and detailed yet, simple? If it was a lie, she would need to be a really fast thinker. The questions came out of nowhere and seemed awfully hard to answer. If I were in her position, after the first question, I would've ran.

Ran for my life. I wouldn't be able to do it. I just wouldn't.

She's very talented.

After they stopped asking questions to Marinette I noticed she was lost in thought. I couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking about.

Marinette's Pov

I started drifting off into thought after the brunettes stopped asking questions.

'How on earth did I fly around Paris using a yo-yo?'

Adrien's Pov

They're her thoughts so I'm not gonna try interfere. Although I tried to restrain myself, I couldn't, I felt like I had to know. I tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention. "Hey Marinette! What ya thinking about?" She seemed startled, oops, I scared her, she must've really been lost in thought. "O-oh uh, nothing, just some plans for after school." I didn't believe it but if she was trying this hard to cover it up, I shouldn't be too pushy.
