The room was silent. They are still processing what was happening. Cat got in and admitted jealousy. Jazer took Manilou by the wrist and placed her at his back, shielding her.

Jazer narrowed his eyes on him. "Are you hitting on her?"

"Huh? Me?" Noir pointed a finger to himself.

"Is there somebody else inside the room aside from the 3 of us?" he rolled his eyes then focused to him once more. "Of course, it's you."

He grinned. "You know...we're already a thing you know~ right my lady?" he winked at her direction.

"N-no. Y-you just dropped by in our house last time! I barely know you!"

"...he went to your house? What were you two doing there?"

The cat clad in black grinned once again. "You know...to do stuffs~"

He glared at him. "Come, Mans. Let's go to my room..." he dragged her alongside with him.

"Whoa, whoa there. What are you going there and leaving me behind?"

It's Jazer's turn now to smirk. "Doing stuffs..."

As they argued the 'doing stuff' thingy, Manilou was a blushing mess.

She decided to stand up for herself or it will be the start of World War 3. "Can you guys just shut up? We all know that I NEVER DID stuffs with either of you. You guys are so perverted..."

"And what if I am?" he smirked. "Is that a bad thing my lady?" he did the puppy eyes which is really ironic despite of being a cat.

Heat flushed to her body. "Bad kitty..." she diverted the topic. "So, remind me why are you here again? How did you find this place? How did you know I'm staying at his place? And lastly, why were you fucking jealous when we even don't have THAT kind of relationship?!"

"You just answered your first question with the last. Anyways, I found this place of course because I'm a hero of Paris. Isn't that a natural thing? Next, a classmate of yours told me that you were here my lady. And for the final answer...you can say it was one-sided. Unless you like me back~" he wriggled his eyebrows.

"I can't say for sure..." she whispered

The cat's ears jerked and tail waggled. He has the mischievous cat look on his face. "I heard that~ do I have a chance on you my lady?"

"I didn't say anything~" he looked at Jazer. "Have you heard anything, Jaze?"

He shook his head no. "Enough chit-chat. Shoo!"

"No. I don't want you guys together. I'm staying here!" his stubbornness getting the best of him.

Jazer grabbed him by the turtle-necked collar and shoved him to the windowsill. "So do I. Now, OUT!"

"I said I'm not leaving!" he crossed his arms and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed as well. "Go do your own business. I'll be here observing you guys. I'll have to get out sooner or later once the paws have only 2 left." He shows him his ring with full energy.

"...Mans, let's go to my room." Jazer held her hand.

He untangled Jazer's hands in hers. "That, I can't allow. I should be where both of you are going to keep an eye on you guys. No touchy-feely."

His eyebrows twitched at the over-protective guy in front of him in annoyance. "Who are you, his father?!"

"No~ I'm her boyfriend~"

Manilou sweat-dropped. "Really? Are you guys going to fight all day? Like, what the actual fuck?! You've been arguing for hours for goodness sake! THAT'S IT! I'm going home and no one's gonna stop me from doing so." She stormed her way out. "Those idiots are getting on my nerves...argh!"

The 2 men were the only ones who remained. Tension rose inside the room.

"Since she's gone, I'll be taking my leave now." He jumped out of the window leaving the poor guy alone.

Meanwhile in the girl's loo, Manilou took Mushu out of her bag.

"Mushu, transform me." And she changed into her alter ego, Deathwing.

She flew out from the window and went straight to the most beautiful place in Paris, the Eiffel tower. She climbed to the highest floor, the deck where ordinary people are not allowed. She held to a pole and spread her wings.

"Ahhh~ so nice to be free~"

She closed her eyes as she tries humming a song from High School Musical.

"We're soarin', flying
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
Creating space between us
'Till we're separate hearts
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe"

Cat Noir saw her flying earlier and trailed behind her. Since he also knows the song, he chimes in.

"We're breakin' free
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
But we're breaking free
Oh, we're breakin' free
Ohhhh"

Their hearts started to beat as one. They took turns at the lines of the song. They let their feelings take control of the song. They are synchronized perfectly amazing.

"Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Connected by a feeling
Ohhh, in our very souls
Very souls,
Ooooh,
Rising 'till it lifts us up
So everyone can see
We're breakin' free
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
But're breaking free
Soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah we're breaking free
Breaking free
So we're breaking free
Ohhh, we're breaking free
Ohhhh
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are..."

As they fluttered their eyes open, they didn't notice that their hands are intertwined. Until, Deathwing loosened her grip unto his.

He gave her a small smile. "Well that was awesome. You sing really well!"

"Thank you..." she returned the smile. "You too...you have a sexy voice back there."

His eyes widened and slightly. "C-could you repeat it again?"

She immediately covered her mouth. She couldn't believe what she has just said. "I-I mean...forget it. Pretend you didn't hear anything."

"Oh but I did." He flashed a Cheshire grin. Really appropriate for the scene. "You know we should do this again some other time, my lady. Another duet~"

She put her hands in an 'X' disagreeing to his proposal. "Nope, nope and definitely nope."

"Why?"

She didn't answer.

"Cat got your tongue?"

Another silence, then she spoke. "Cat Noir...just tell me one thing."

"Sure. Anything my lady~" he gave a thumbs up.

"Who do you like? Me or Manilou? Choose only one. You can't love 2 girls and you know it. And you better answer it HONESTLY. Don't worry I won't get mad. I just want to know the truth." She smiled encouragingly.

Cat Noir was taken aback with the question. He honestly doesn't know it himself. So how could he answer? "I...I don't know my lady." He was sad. Like an innocent baby boy who lost her way around town.

"I figured just as much..." she heaved a long sigh. "...same here."

"Huh?"

She kissed his cheek swiftly. "Nothing important. Thanks for singing along with me by the way. Farewell~"
