"Mari . . . . Are you . . . . Are you, Ladybug?" Alya looked at me awaiting my answer.
I hesitated for a moment before I took a deep breath and replied.
"Yeah. Yeah I am."
"Wait, really?"
"Um, yes."
"Does Chat Noir know who you are? Can I see you transform? Am I . . . . the only person who knows?" Alya shot off questions faster than I could even react.
"Woah, woah, hold it Alya. One question at a time." Alya just grinned at me, unable to speak. "No Chat doesn't know, you are the only person who knows, well, besides Master Fu ---"
"Wait, what do you mean I'm the only person."
"I'll show you. Tikki! Come out and meet Alya!"
"Tikki . . . . ?" Alya looked at me questioningly until Tikki zoomed down from my loft. I expected her to freak out, like I had, but, "Whoa!!! She's like Trixx!! Hi Tikki! You're so cute!!"
"Hi Alya! I'm glad to finally meet you! I see you from Marinette's bag at school and stuff, but never face to face."
Alya smiled at Tikki and then looked over at me and beamed. "She comes with you to school? How have I never seen her?"
"I'm always in Marinette's purse. If I'm not with her, she can't transform." Tikki explained.
I smiled and nodded.
"CAN YOU TRANSFORM FOR ME?!?!?!" Alya basically yelled in my face.
"Shhhhhhhh!! My parents are in the bakery!! They don't know remember?"
"Right, right, right. Sorry. But will you? For me? Please?!?!?"
I looked over at Tikki and she winked at me.
"Alright, Tikki! Spots On!!!"
Alya stared in awe as my suit appeared literally out of nowhere.
"WOAH! WOAH, WHAT THE HECK THAT'S AMAZING!!"
"Alya! Keep it on the down-low!!"
"Sorry. This is so cool!!!" Alya was ecstatic. Then all of the sudden, her face went blank, for the second time that day. "Wait a minute, this means you've been Ladybug this whole time?!? So you stole that book back from me didn't you!! At the museum? And wait!! You said I wasn't worthy enough sacrifice!! I'm a perfectly good sacrifice thank you!!"
"Alya--"
"Is this why you weren't at school the day I was akumatized? That's right you were saving someone with 'your kitty'."
"Alya! I--"
"Girl, I'm going to have so much fun with this. This is great. I forgive you for the whole 'going AWOL' now. Not your fault. . . . Wait a minute, remember the whole Chat's gone bad thing? When everyone thought he stole the Mona Lisa?"
"Of course, but--"
"You never believed it!! You 100% believed that he would never do anything like that!!!"
"Yes, of course! I know he's not like that. But Alya--"
Alya then gasped, her eyes widened, and a huge grin spread across her face. I began to get worried.
"Alya . . . . what, --"
"You kissed him!! Mari, you kissed Chat Noir!! Ohhhhhh myyyyy goooooosh!!! Maaaariiiiii!!!"
"It was only to save him!! He was going to cataclysm my face!!"
That very same face was probably beet red at that point.
"Oooooohhhhh!! This is too good!!"
I starting to regret letting Alya in on this.
"ALYA."
"What?"
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier."
"That's alright girl!! But because I couldn't hold that kiss over your head then, you're going to have to get used to it now." Alya smirked at me.
"Alya!" I groaned. Then I decided to change the topic. "That's not what this conversation was supposed to be about remember?"
Alya looked at me blankly. Figures. She was probably so excited, that she forgot what we were talking about. I don't blame her. It was a big piece of news.
"Spots off."
Alya stared again as I detransformed, and Tikki flew back up to her stash of cookies in the loft.
"That is so cool." She whispered, mostly to herself. I grinned.
"Remember?" I pointed at the little green paw above my earrings. "I have no idea what to do now!! I've never heard of someone having 2 soulmate marks!! Now Chat and I both have to figure this out!!"
"Wait, Chat has 2 soulmate marks as well?"
"Yeah . . . . ?"
"And how do you know this?"
"He . . . . told me . . . . .?"
"You talked to him about this?"
"Yeah, is that a bad thing?"
"Not necessarily. I just . . . . it's nothing never mind."
I paused and looked at Alya curiously, then decided to ignore her last comment and continue freaking out.
"So, anyways, what the heck am I supposed to do?!?!"
"You? For now, nothing. I've got some investigating to do."
She started walking towards the trapdoor.
"Alya? What, no! Where are you going?!?"
"Don't you worry Ms. Ladybug. Alya's got this covered."
And with that, Alya was gone.
