Mari hums in thought before asking, "Okay, why do you go to bed at night?" 

"I don't know..." Fu trails off, looking from Mari to me. 

"Because the bed won't come to you!" 

He laughs. 

"What goes up but doesn't move? Stairs!" I give a joke next, making Master Fu laugh harder. 

"What does a snail say when it's riding on a turtle's back? WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!" 

We started making jokes left and right, making Master Fu laugh harder and harder until he was wiping away tears. The next one, he wiped up from his eye; we prevented him from flicking it away and led him to the pot to drop in.

The pot lets out another explosion, different from the last one, and Fu gives us an excited look. "Ladies, I think you have just found the magic ingredient." 

"No. Chat did, I was thinking of him when the idea came to mind," I corrected him before we fed the concoction to Tikki.

She flashes pink when commanded to power up. Tikki's hands and feet turn into purple fins and grow purple antennas. 

"Aqua Tikki!" 

"Aqua Tikki Spots On!" 

We watch Marinette transform into an aquatic Ladybug, her spots turning to accented fish scales through silver lining with fin shapes at the end of the feet, some fins on the forearms, a fin belt with the ladybug logo in the center, and fins as her hair tie for her pigtails, which grew longer and had a tint of purple at the end. 

"It worked!" I say excitedly as Ladybug looked over her new outfit, and I feed Flaake the mixture, she flashes white and looks like Tikki, but with turquoise fins.

"Sea Flaake!" 

"Sea Flaake Freeze!" 

I transform like I usually do and look down, amazed, by the transformation.

Optional sea (s/n) look, you're free to change any details, this is just what I'm imagining when writing s/n in her aqua phase, and I'm now just realizing I forgot to draw on the polar bear ears, but that is included in this design:

LB goes to jump in the water but stops herself and turns to Master Fu. "Master Fu, I think it's time you put those noodles into the boiling water." 

"You're right, Ladybug, I'll take care of it." 

"I'll take him to Chat and introduce him, you search for Syren," I say, and Ladybug nods, soon diving in. 

Master Fu packs what he needs, and I grab him, and we start making our way back to Chat when my spear starts to vibrate. Putting on the earpiece, I answered to see it was Chat Noir who was calling me.

"Yes, Chat?" 

"(s/n), this is so dumb, I'm tired of sitting here waiting for you and Ladybug. I appreciate what you've told me, but it still feels like you two are keeping secrets, and now I'm wondering what's the point of hiding the guardian's identity from me?"
