"I'm the Revealer! Any and all secrets shall be revealed!"
"Any idea what's gotten our akuma worked up?"
Ladybug shrugged as she ran across the roof, her partner right behind her.
"I don't know but if he's revealing everybody's secrets, I definitely don't want to be caught in it."
"Why my lady, got something to hide?"
"Yes. Like our identities."
Yikes. Adrien mentally facepalmed. Of course, they haven't revealed their civilian selves to each and he's lied to his friends everyday about his random disappearances and tardiness.
"Of course. Would want to let the Chat out of the bag now, would we?" He said, smirking as he saw her pause just to give him an eyeroll.
"Really?" Before she could say anything else, the akumatized person, the Revealer spoke.
"Ah! Ladybug and Chat Noir! How nice of you to come! Don't you think it's tiring, having to hide your identities for soo long? Let me make things easier!" And with that, he began trying to zap them.
Ladybug saw how when he had zapped the waitress at the restaurant they were in, she had vanished, only to return crying and begging for forgiveness.
Before she could enquire as to what exactly happened, Chat had come and they both had to go and stop the akuma.
"Any ideas?"
Ladybug shook her head. "No. I can't even figure out where's the akuma!"
"Do you think that waitress could have something important?"
"Huh? What do you mean Chat?"
"I noticed you kept glancing towards her. And she was one of the first ones to be attacked... so I figured she must have known him and might have been the cause."
Ladybug nodded. "I didn't know you noticed that." She said as she dodged another zap and used her yo-yo to go over a building. "Think you can handle the akuma while I go and check it?"
"Of course! I'm pawsitive that you'll get something."
Though smiling, she groaned at that pun, and went off towards the Tres Bien restaurant and went to the waitress she had seen earlier.
"L-ladybug?"
"Hi. I'm sorry I couldn't help you earlier but I was wondering if you could help me out. It seems that you knew the akuma before..."
The waitress nodded immediately. "Ah...yes. yes. I know. Peitro, I, I loved him. Oh Ladybug, you don't know how much I loved him but I was a fool. I was worried that he would leave me someday because he was perfect and deserved someone better. Someone who wasn't a plain old waitress!"
Ladybug nodded. She could understand that. She felt the same way about Adrien after all and they weren't even together yet!
"I saw him less and less. And last month, last week, we barely spoke to each and I kept seeing him with my ex classmates and I felt...I thought no I believed that he was with them!"
"He did call me and tried to ask what's wrong and why I'm being distant but I didn't tell him anything. I refused to do so. And then yesterday, I broke down. It was too much.
"But, that's when he came in and saw, he saw me crying in the arms of another man. He accused me of cheating and I accused him of doing the same. Neither of us denied it.
"But today, after Pietro zapped me, I was sent into some sort of a theatre and I watched everything. Our, yes, both of our lives in those two months were onscreen and I watched and realized how stupid I was.
"Pietro was planning to surprise me and ask me to marry him yesterday but I ruined it. He was worried and thought I wasn't interested in him! Both of our misunderstandings got in the way and we kept our insecurities a secret from each other.
"Ladybug, I want my Pietro back! I want to tell I'm sorry and that I can't survive without him. I want to tell him everything and I want him to make me feel better. Please Ladybug, please tell me I'll get my Pietro back."
Ladybug smiled. "Of course I will! I promise you, I will get your future husband back and if you want, Chat Noir and I will make sure neither of you chicken out during the engagement and wedding!"
"Just answer 1 question. Does he still have the engagement ring with him?"
At her nod, Ladybug went off to join Chat Noir....only to bump into him.
"CHAT?!"
"Lady! He....He just vanished!"
"WHAT?!"
"The akuma....he's not anywhere. Please tell me you got something."
She nodded. "Come, there's no point staying out here if he's not there. We don't even know how to find him"
Chat agreed and they both went to their usual spot at the Eiffel Tower.
"Long story short. The akuma is Pietro. He was planning to surprise the love of his life by asking her to marry him but when he was out secretly making arrangements, the waitress was drowning in her insecurities and thought that he was seeing someone else. In the end she broke down and some other was there to help her and Pietro walked in on that and thought she doesn't want him anymore."
"So upset and distraught, the poor guy gets akumatized and decides to show everyone the truth?"
"Yes. Apparently the waitress was sent to a place where she watched their lives onscreen and understood everything."
"Wow."
"Ya....i Don't know how I feel about it."
"Well no one's getting hurt I guess and I doubt even Hawkmoth knows what's in those places then."
Ladybug nodded. They both patrolled around, hoping to find the akuma but upon finding none, decided to part ways till they found the akuma.
She mentioned to him that the akuma was in his engagement ring, whose location she still doesn't know though.
Chat Noir just mentioned that at least they know this much and after assuring her that they will definitely get him next time, left to his place.
