Césaire Apartment
Y/N's POV

Invited to the Césaire apartment, I decided to go, seeing that I have nothing better to do. Right now, Marinette and I were watching both Nino and Alya dance in front of the TV. We lounged on the couch as Adrien joined via voicecall.

Marinette: They're so in sync with each other.

Y/N: Yeah. (slowly starts to daydream)Someday... someday...! I hope to have what they have... (smiles and turns to a flushed Marinette)How about you?

I've noticed that I've become less shy around Marinette. Internally, I give myself a fist bump for such achievement.

'It only took... a few months? Yeah... a few months...!'

'To not being a stuttering mess that is...'

Marinette: Uh... y -- yeah! I hope that you -- the day! Will come now -- I mean, soon! Soon!

Nino: Big finish, here we go!

Adrien: Guys, it's coming!

Turning our attention to the couple, we both watched as they flawlessly posed. Nino held a ballet pose as Alya pulls off a cool finish move.

Nino: Yeah!

I could only smile as both Marinette and Alya laugh.

"Aw, shoot. Did I miss the ballet?"

Turning to the booming voice, we all watch as Alya's older sister, or I presume to be her older sister, enters the apartment.

Alya: Nora, is your match over already?

Dropping her duffel bag, she gets into her fighting stance.

Nora: First round: total knockout.

She then throws some air punches.

Nora: As usual.

She then hooks her arm around Alya and converse with her until turning to us.

Nora: The name is Anansi, like the spider.

She rests one of her foot on the nearby dinner chair and poses.

Alya: (crosses her arms)Sure, I'll call you Anansi when you stop calling me 'little sis.'

Turning away from her 'little sis,' she puts down her headguard and says...

Nora: (goes to grab a carton of milk)Anyway, what are you still doing here this late? Don't you have school tomorrow?

Alya: We're waiting for it to get dark. It's the World Cup fireworks show tonight, remember? We're gonna watch from the Place de la Concorde Ferris wheel.

Nora proceeds to spit out her drink.

Nora: (points at everyone except Alya)Oh no! Baguette, flannel and cappie can go with cellphone boy if they want, but you're staying here. (crushes milk carton)It's way too dangerous.

Marinette: But Nora -- I mean, Anansi, you can't do that!

Nino: Yeah! No way, dude! We're not going without Alya!

Alya: Listen, I appreciate you worrying about me and all, but I'm not a little girl anymore. Besides, Mom and Dad are totally cool with it.

Nora: (shakes her head)Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, there have been way too many akumatized peeps in Paris these last few weeks. Look how many times you've been in direct danger.

We begin to remember the times when Alya had put herself in danger.

Nora: So you're staying home, safe and sound, period!
