"Hey Mom, hey Dad. Why aren't you home yet?" Marinette was calling her oarents while they were still at the baking convention. It was about 10 PM.

"Marinette, we're sorry honey but we won't be back until Monday. That's when the convention ends. We can come home early if you need us but we honesutly think you'll be okay." Marinette's mom said.

"Oh. Okay. Can I hang out with friends while you're gone?" Marinette asked.

"Yes. Make healthy choices and do your laundry! We love you! Text us! Goodnight Marinette!"

"Night Mom, Night Dad." Marinette ended the call.

She sat on her spinny chair with Tikki sitting on Marinette's computer.

"I can't get Adrien out of my head, Tikki. Ugh I need air. Is it okay if I transform?" Marinette asked.

"Of course! I'm energetic anyways."

Ladybug swung around town and landed on a building. She sat on the roof and watched the stars.

"I didn't know you were a Night Owl, Bugaboo." A voice sounded from behind Ladybug.

She leapt up and spun around to see Cat Noir.

"Cat? What are you doing here?" Ladybug asked.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing. I can't sleep. You?" 

"Same... I can't get someone out of my head..." Ladybug murmured.

"Really? Who?" Cat pressed.

"Nobody... Cat... I must tell you something. Something my kwami told me." Ladybug said.

Cat Noir sat beside her.

"My kwami told me that she was at a meeting with Master Fu, your kwami was there too, but Master Fu told them something important." Ladybug said.

"What was it?" Cat Noir asked.

"Master Fu says... We should show each other our... Our true identities..." Ladybug barely whispered.

"D-Do you... Want to?" Cat Noir asked.

"I-I don't know. I'm scared you'd judge me, and-" 

Cat Noir hushed her.

"I would never, ever judge you, Ladybug. No matter who you are. You'll always be my Bugaboo." He winked.

Ladybug smiled.

"Maybe some day... But I'm not sure if I'm ready. It's barely been a year since we started fighting crime together." Ladybug shrugged.

"I have an idea." 

Ladybug tilted her head.

"How about, every night, we meet like this. And answer one, very small question about ourselves to each other! That would let us get to know each other." Cat Noir said.

"Hmm... Okay." Ladybug said.

"Wait, really?" Cat Noir was surprised at how easily she agreed.

"Yeah. And I have a question tonight for you!" She exclaimed.

"Shoot."

"What's your kwami's name?" She asked.

"Plagg. He's mischevious but a good friend. And I have your question!" He said.

"Okay."

"Does anybody know your true identity?" He asked.

"Y-Yes... My best friend. I actually told her today. She's obsessed with Ladybug and I wanted to tell her because I trust her with my life." She said.

"Wow, that's brave. Maybe I could tell my best friend..." Cat Noir murmured.

Ladybug yawned.

"I'm exhausted. I'm going home, I'll see you tomorrow Cat Noir." Ladybug smiled and took her yoyo.

"I can't wait." Cat Noir winked and left.
