A violet surge of light beams from the catacombs, bursting through the ground, molding vast sinkholes around the city, lighting the starry night sky in a blinding blue light. Hannah Rose looks out the window. Her eyes squint open, She taps her friend Maddie's shoulder, and they stare into the sky. She mumbled one word. "light"
The glow of dawn's soft rays illuminate the shadows of New York, the new day. Stretching his arms, and sliding on his shoes, Adrien calls up the stairs.
"Marinette, honey? Don't forget your designs this time- I can't wear them if we don't have them!"
It wasn't unusual for her to forget various things.
Marinette ran down the stairs, fumbling to shove her design book in her purse, a golden-brown croissant in her mouth. He smiles warmly seeing her.
Hurrying out the door, she grabbed the first jacket in reach. Her lips purse and she stops in motion, seeing she grabbed her old favorite jacket, the one she wore when she first met her husband, she glances at her ring, remembrance of Gabriel, Chat noir, Luka, Kagami- flood through her mind.
She stares in silence for a moment.
"Ah, I forgot I had this old thing." She held the jacket for a moment, lost in thought.
"You ok, Marinette?"
"Oh, yeah. Guess I shouldn't have put it next to the new one."
"Wow! That thing's been around for a while. About 22 years now, hasn't it?" He asks."Maybe we could give it to Emma. She'd like it, she is 18 though, I don't know if she could fit in it by now. What do you think?"
She stutters, a bit off guard. Her phrasing hardly makes sense in her nervousness.
"What? Oh! I 'give', Some work to do- I MEAN- "got", because, were in New York, 'plan' I'm excited. AND! I meant "and"! Heehehe!"
Continuing to try and correct herself, as she stammers, Marinette nervously grins ear to ear, she laughs, rushing to put on her old jacket, and runs out in a hurry, hardly remembering to tell him where her designs are.
"Oh! The designs are on my dresser!" She heads out the door and peaks her head out. "Love you- gotta go, bye!"
Adrien slightly disoriented, gave a confused scratch to the back of his neck.
"I think she forgot we work together and I need the keys to start the car..."
"Oh, Relax!"Plagg replies, gulping some cheese."You spend too much time worrying! Remember when you two first got the miraculouses? Haha!" He laughs. "She was even crazier back then and still defeated, Hawkmoth, Mayura, Shadowmoth, Chrystalist, everything thrown her way! Now that you're married, she's got even more responsibilities, and she can handle that too. It's her first time staying a whole year in New York! Let her go, She'll handle it, besides, why worry when you could stay here and eat some of the famous 'New York cheddar cheese' here with me. Ah!Creamy filling, even aged ten years! Think of all that sweet aging!"
You're right Plagg, Not about the cheese, but she'll be fine. Maybe while we're here we can find out what that strange problem was with that place last night."
"No way, we're on Vacation, and you can't show up as Chat Noir out of Random, especially in a completely different country, you haven't shown up for years anyway. People are blind, but they'll notice that! I won't be with you forever, Adrien, this is my last week with you. Take the time while it lasts."
Meanwhile, Tikki hardly squeezes her words out.
"Marinette! She says, untangling a spool of thread from her antennae. "slow down! This purse is full of all your planning stuff! It's not as empty as your first one you know!"
