I swing rooftop to rooftop in pursuit of my friend Alya who, once again, was turned into Lady Wifi by one of Hawk Moths akumas.
Where is Cat Noir?
For some odd reason I've grown to like that cat, but my heart belongs to Adrien and I can't force myself to even look at another person that way. A black figure jumps off the building ahead of me, and pins Lady Wifi to the ground.

"Get her phone!" I yell.

Cat Noir picks up the dropped phone, tosses it my way. "There you go Bug-a-boo." He says. Blushing, I catch the phone.
When did I start blushing because of him?! He smiles, obviously noticing my redden cheeks.

I smash the phone onto the ground, and stomp my foot. The phone shatters to pieces, and a dark butterfly like creature flutters out of it. I grab my yo-yo from my waist. "Time to erase evil!" I yell swinging my yo-yo towards the akuma. Catching it I retract the yo-yo, and press it. It opens releasing a glowing white butterfly. Throwing my yo-yo into the air I proudly exclaim. "Miraculous Ladybug." With a cleansing light emitting form the yo-yo the damage done by Lady Wifi is fixed, and she turns back to my BFF Alya. As the ladybug lights continues to fix everything Cat Noir walks up to me with a satisfied face.

"Well another day's work done." He comments, placing his hands on his hips. I nod my head in agreement, heat rushing to my cheeks.

When did I start liking him?!

"My Lady..." He starts. "I've been meaning to say--" Lightly my earrings make a beeping noise alarming me the I'm about to transform back. Then his black ring sounds alarming him of the same thing. "We got to go." I smile turning to leave. "Wait!" He says grading onto my wrist. I look down at his hand, then up at him. His green yes on mine. Realizing what he did, he lets go f my wrist, and his cheeks turn a slight red.

"I just want to know." He starts. "When are we ever going to say who we are?" I sigh." I just... I just thinks it's better if we don't know." He continues to plead. "But what if you or I were in trouble, and the only way to save the other was to know?"

This guy just won't take no for an answer.

"That's not going to happen,"   I try to reason with him.
"But it might," He  counter argues.
"No it won't."
"But it might."

We go on for two more rounds, and after the third I give up. "Fine." I groan. "Listen, if the time ever comes when our miraculous run out of power, and there is no way to get away. Then and only then, will we say who we are." I extend my arm, offering my hand. "Deal?" He takes my hand into a firm handshake. "Deal."

My earrings beep again. "Goodbye Kitty." I say swinging away.
And I find myself, surprisingly, hoping that will happen.
