"Flairmidable? Cool! What's he like?" Marinette motioned for him to sit down beside her and he obliged, holding her hand. "I'll tell you later. Now. That thing, I said you have that doesn't belong to you-it was to see if you knew who ladybug was and to hand over any earrings you own but that was a bit boring and I didn't think you would want me poking around in your room and oh god I'm waffling now so yeah umm..." Marinette laughed. "No way! I would never be cut-out to be a superhero. I can't imagine the stress."

"The stress? Of what?"
"Having to lie to your parents and friends and everyone around you, just to keep your identity secret. Having to dissappear during class to fight villains, and then make up a random excuse for leaving. Nor having a boyfriend because they hate secrets and lies-but you still can't tell him. And I-" A tear fell down Marinette's glowing skin. "I can't even imagine lying to anyone. Especially the boy I really care for. I love him, Chat. But, he will never love me back-there's someone else." Chat looked down at his feet, biting his lip. 'This guy is a total and complete idiot, whoever he is.'

"But anyway, that's just my idea of the stress of a double life, I mean, what would I know?" She giggled nervously, but Chat Blanc just stood up with a nice look on his face. He held out his hand and Marinette took it, standing up with him. Her phone started buzzing in her pocket. "Crap! It's Mom!" She quickly pressed the green call button on her bright phone screen.

"Hi mom!"
"Marinette, we have been calling you for ages! It's dinner!"
"Oh crap! Yes, sorry, I forgot, ha! Silly me!"
"Are you out with Chat Noir again?"
"Well, not exactly. But I am out. Would you like me to come back home?"
"Yes please, it's late and dark, honey! I'll leave you and Chat some extras."
"Okay! Love you mom!"
"Love you too."

"Do you have to go back home?" Chat Blanc wasn't eavesdropping on their conversation! He couldn't. "Yes.. But can we get ice cream first?" They both laughed and tears of joy came running down their cheeks.
