Miraculous Ladybug Season 6

CHAPTER 2: THE INTERVIEW

Adrien's POV

"Oh shoot, I'm gonna be late!" Marinette yelled before quickly putting on her shoes.

"Late for what?" I ask curiously.

"I.... um.... Toilets! Yes! A plumber is coming to my house to fix a bad toilet because I accidentally stuffed a bunch of macaroons in it."

"You stuffed macaroons in the toilet?" I look at her puzzled. Why would Marinette stuff macaroons in the toilet? I love Marinette and all, but sometimes she may be a bit delulu.

"Um... I mean... don't worry I'll explain later. I've gotta go. SeeyoulaterIloveyoubye!" she said before kissing my cheek and zooming out within the span of 5 seconds.

"Runaway bride?" Nathalie teases as she comes into the garden and sits down with me.

"Nathalie!" I yell as my cheeks flush red. I check the time and my eyes go wide.

"Oh shi-"

"Language, Adrien"

"Sorry. I was supposed to meet up with my friend Luka. We wanted to have some little practice before our next band rehearsal."

"It's fine Adrien," Nathalie assures me before I run out to go. I hug mum who's at the kitchen table before I leave the house. I run to a nearby alley and hide.

"We can always skip the interview and actually meet Luka," Plagg suggests. "At least I know he'll give me some cheese."

"Don't you think about anything else, Plagg?" I chuckle. "Come on, we have an interview. Plagg, claws out!" I say as my usual outfit is replaced by my leather suit, cat ears, belt and bell. I extend my staff and begin flying through the city

As I land, I see Ladybug smirking at me. "Nice to see that cats still land on their feet. How've you been Chaton?"

"Pawstively purrfect, M'Lady," I grin as I hold out my hand. "Shall we?"

Ladybug gives me a small smile as she takes my hand and says, "We shall."

A few minutes later....

"We are live as we have our favorite superheroes in the house, Ladybug and Chat Noir!" Nadja announces as she motions towards us with a smile. "It's good to see you two. How are you been, now that there's no akumas to fight nowadays?"

"It's been a relief if I must say," Ladybug laughs as she answers the question. "My daily life has been more peaceful. Going out with friends, getting close to the family. Enjoying the summer just like every teenager my age would."

"It's been quite a lot actually. I've been relaxed of course, but I've missed my Lady everyday because now I rarely see her since we defeated Monarch," I chip in.

"We?" Ladybug asks with a smile.

"Okay okay, fine. It was all on her. It feels bad already that I wasn't part of the final battle. Don't rub it in," I say.

"Just kidding, Kitty. Sorry," she laughs

"I just love the chemistry between the two of you. Now that the miraculouses are back in your possession, how do you intend on keeping them so no one gets to it? And will we be seeing other heroes like Rena Rouge and Carapace?" Nadja asks. Does she seriously want Ladybug to answer that publicly?

"Well for your first question, I can't give you an answer to that, because it would be be stupid to expose my plans out in public. However, the other heroes will be seen once in a while," Ladybug answers satisfactorily.

"What about you Chat Noir? Do you think you'll be replaced by Ladybug with the other heroes?" Meouch.

"First of all, replaced is a strong word. And secondly, no. I know Ladybug can never replace me. Between us, there is no sidekick or superior. We're ying and yang. One can't succeed completely without the other. I believe that times where I have been unavailable, Ladybug found it really hard to save the day. And I believe it's the other way around when she's not available. So, no. I am beyond sure that I'll not be replaced just because we have a larger team," I say confidently

"Alright, Chat Noir. A few more questions and we're done. Ladybug, who was behind the mask of Monarch?" Nadja asks.

I notice blood drain from her face as she manages to say, "T-That's confidential." I never bothered asking who Monarch was, especially since he was the one who cost my father's life.

"All I can say is that he died as well as Gabriel. Bless their souls," Ladybug says finally.

"Alright, two more questions. What's your relationship status?"

We both laughed. We expected this question from the beginning.

"Ladybug and I are platonic soulmates, if I do say so myself. We're the best of friends, but we're not romantically into each other," I answer.

"Okay. Last question: will we get to know you're identities anytime soon?"

"I don't think so. We don't know each other's identities at the moment, talk less of others knowing. When the time is right, the people will know," Ladybug concluded.

"It's been a pleasure having you two here. Thanks for taking out time to answer our questions," Nadja tells us while shaking our hands and showing us out. We're instantly offered some tea and biscuits as we relax before going home.

"So Bugaboo, when will we meet again; now that Monarch is gone?" I ask. I've missed her badly.

"Hmm... well there's the one-year anniversary celebration coming up next Tuesday... how about after we meet up at our usual spot opposite the Eiffel Tower?" she asks.

"Hold up, hold up! I am in a very committed relationship. I don't want to cheat on my girlfriend before...," I then feel her yo-yo bounce on my head.

"It's not a date, silly," she laughs as I heave in relief. "Just see it as a friendly get-together. Besides, you're the one dying to see me."

"Really, Ladybug? Are you telling me that you haven't missed me at all?" I laugh.

"You dream a lot kitty cat. See you Tuesday. Bug out!" she says as she takes her yoyo and zooms off.

I grab my stick and extend it towards the sea as I go to Luka's boat. I land in Luka's room and detransform in front of him.

"And to what do I owe this visit, Adrien?" Luka asks, strumming his guitar.

"Officially, I came here to practice with you. Unofficially, Chat Noir needs an alibi," I laugh as I grab the keyboard close to his shelf.
