"Plagg claws out!" When he arrived back in the school yard ladybug was already fighting with Deceiver. No one had seen him so he stayed hidden a bit longer to observe the scene. All around him he saw people running for their lives, at first he didn't see why but then he looked at their faces and saw something weird. Juleka's normally emotionless face showed so many different emotions and her hair that was normally in front of her eyes was gone from her face showing the birthmark above her left eye. So the akuma showed what you didn't want to show the world? He really needed to be careful, if he or ladybug got hit everyone would know who they were. He got pulled out of his thoughts when he heard his lady scream, she was falling from the roof. He quickly jumped to her aid, catching her in mid air.

"Falling for me , m'Lady?" ladybug was used to his flits so she just ignored them.

"About time you got here Kitty, her akuma is in her glasses but be careful not to be hit she has the power to reveal us." Chat put Ladybug down on the ground and they hit behind a pillar to talk about tactics.

"What do you suggest M'Lady?"

" we have to find a way to distract her so that I can take her glasses. "

"Lucky charm!" in her hands was a small mirror. "What am i supposed to do with that?" Ladybug looked around her and saw a few items light up, the mirror, a spotlight and Deceiver's Glasses. "That's is, Chat-" before she could finish her sentence they were hit my a bright beam that rendered them blind for a few seconds. Ladybug looked back at Chat noir but before her was Adrien dressed at Chat noir. Looking at the expression on his face she knew her mask had disappeared too. "Princess?"

Marinette was trying very hard to not freak out. Adrien was chat noir, all those times when she wanted to be alone with him and there he was, her partner, her best friend. Marinette pulled herself together, now was not the time to freak out, there was still an akuma they had to defeat. "We'll talk later kitty, now we really need to defeat her."

'You're right, what do you need me to do?"

"Do you see that spotlight there, can you turn it so it shines into the mirror?"

" Certainly M'Lady, but you know you don't need a spotlight on yourself, your beauty radiates already all the light we need"

Ladybug and Chat noir started to blush very hard, without the mask it was very awkward.

Thanks to the spotlight Deceiver was blinded for a few seconds so Chat could take her glasses but not before the whole school saw who was behind the masks.

" No more evil doing for you little akuma. Time to de-evilize" Everyone was looking in shock their beloved Heros were their friends in real life? They just couldn't believe it. Ladybug started to get tears in her eyes, what were they going to think, Marinette was nothing like ladybug. Chat saw she was freaking out so he took her in his arms to reassure her. "You are amazing, with or without the mask." he kept saying in her ears. There was still a lot of damage to the school so Ladybug threw her Lucky charm and shouted " Miraculous ladybug" Everything was back in place, her mask was back, all secrets were hidden again. Ladybug looked back at Chat noir and saw that familiar face again. Something struck her, what did the face of Chat noir look like without the mask again? It seemed she couldn't remember. Did her miraculous erase all the secrets from their minds? She tried to think of another secret that had been revealed but she couldn't.

"Do you remember anything?" She asked Chat
"No, but that's good right? Our secret identity is safe." Both started to laugh of relieve.
"Pound it"

"Pound it"

Her earrings were beeping. " But if you stay longer they will see who you are again M'Lady" Ladybug launched her Yoyo and disappeared. Chat noir also jumped out of the school to re enter through the window from the locker room and detransformed.
"What a day, first i cause an akuma and then i find out who my lady is but to forget it right after. I'm so tired, let's go home plagg."

" But Kid it's still morning, you still have classes all day, then fencing and a photoshoot in the evening."

With a heavy head Adrien was going back to class when he saw Chloë. He had to apologize to her.

"Hey Chloë, I'm so sorry for what happened this morning, I know it's not an excuse but I haven't slept much and my emotions took control of me. Nino is my best friend and he's an amazing guy so please don't insult him or my other friends to me, that includes yourself."
Chloë's smile changed into a real one. " You mean it? I'm your friend?"

"Yes Chloë, you are a good friend of me, but remember that being nice can bring you a lot of friends."

"I will try" she said shyly.
The rest of the day was very boring, Adrien got sent to the principle because he had fallen asleep during chemistry so he had to clean the classroom during lunch.
When he came home after fencing his father was waiting for him. He seemed very angry.
"Adrien, I got a call from your principle, how dare you fall asleep in class, do you know how what people will say? Everything from tonight is canceled, you will go to your room and go to bed now. Nathalie will come to check at various times to see if you really are sleeping"
Adrien bowed his head down "Yes Father" and went to his room. With Nathalie coming to check on him he couldn't even go to his princess. He changed into his pyjama and went to bed, hopefully tomorrow will be better. That night he dreamed of ladybug without the mask and how much he loved the girl behind it, he just couldn't see her face.
