Miraculous Future: Tales of Cat Noir & Ladybug

Episode 22: Forgiveness

Emma was sketching in her book glancing up occasionally at her subjects. She paused as she felt someone being behind her. But relaxed as she got the whiff of strawberry and honey.

A head propped Emma's shoulder revealing Sophie, "Hey, honey. What you drawing?"

Emma turned and gave Sophie a kiss on the cheek and showed her the sketch of the park fountain with the birds bathing in it.

"Wow, that looks great," Sophie smiled as she hugged Emma's waist.

"You think so?" She replied and she closed her sketch book and smiling sliding her pencil behind Sophie's ear.

"Hey," Sophie laughed as she let go of Emma to remove the pencil.

The older girl laughed and turned, giving Sophie a peck on the lips and ran away from Sophie.

"Emma Agreste!" Sophie chased after her.

....

After a bit of chasing Emma and Sophie were softly kissing under one of the trees in the park. They probably would have continued kissing if not for a loud song playing from Emma's pocket.

Sophie groaned as Emma pulled away, "Ignore it."

Emma rolled her eyes as she pulled out her phone, "Rachel is calling."

Sophie leaned her head on Emma's shoulder.
"Yes, Rach?" Emma asked as she answered the video call.

A tired looking brown hair and eyed girl waved, " Hey, Emma. Hi Sophie. "

"Hello, Rachel," Sophie gave a half hearted greeting.

"What's going on?" Emma asked curious as noticed her tiredness.

" Oh, yeah. I'm finishing packing," Rachel explained as she flipped her ponytail, "Oh, flights at 10 tonight and we should be there at 10 in the morning."

"And you're going to stay at our hotel right?" Sophie asked, propping her chin on Emma's shoulder.

Rachel leaned over throwing things across her room as if looking for something, " Yeah, both me and Jake will . You're picking us up right?"

"Of course," Emma replied, "Can't wait to see you!"

Rachel turned her head as Jake called off screen, " I have to go deal with Jake's crisis. Bye!"

"Bye!" The couple say in unison

....

Rachel turned in her chair to look at her cousin, "What?"

Jake was holding up several button ups, "Which ones?"

She raised an eyebrow at the nice shirts, "It's summer. Why are you taking all these heavy shirts?"

"Um..." Jake blushed looking awkward.

"Oh," Rachel wangled her eyebrow at him, "Oh, trying to look good for someone. Maybe Nina?"
"Shut up!" the boy blushed deeper, "I just...I mean..." He paused for a moment, "I like her. I like her a lot. But what if...she doesn't like me...or..."

"Jacob Lee Morrison, if Nina wasn't at least a good person Emma wouldn't hang out without her," the girl commented as she stood up and took the pink shirt from him, "But probably this one. Relax, I doubt she's transphobic."

"Thanks," Jake smiled.

"Though honestly I don't trust Nina's taste in me. Look at Louis."

"Don't remind me."

....

Bridgette gave Henri and Aimee a look as she moved past them to the door.

"Going to the basement again?"
