A month has passed since Marinette became the new guardian of the Miraculous. Marinette had finally thrown away all her photos of Adrien and changed the background on her computer to selfie she took with Chat Noir.
Today, Alya, Nino and Adrien are coming over to Marinette's house to hang out.
Marinette is lying on her bed looking at the ceiling, bored out of her mind when she hears the doorbell ring. She can hear her parents telling her friends to go to her room. When they come in her room, Marinette gets up and goes to greet her friends.
"Hey, guys."
"Hi!"
"Hi,girl!"
"Hello, dudette."
After a while of sitting and talking, Marinette's parents tell her to come down because they want to tell her something. When she goes downstairs, Alya gets up to stretch her legs and looks around the room. In the corner of the room, she sees an old record player. She starts pressing random buttons on it. It suddenly opens and she yelps.
"Alya, is everything okay?"Nino asks. Alya comes back and sits down holding a box. They all recognize the symbol on it. She opens it and they see all the Miraculous except the four that are currently in use.
"These are........Oh my god!"Alya says shocked.
"But Master Fu made Ladybug the new guardian of the Miraculous."Adrien says.
"Who is Master Fu?"Nino asks.
"The previous guardian."Adrien says dismissively.
"How do you know that?"the reporter asks.
"But if Marinette has the box, that means that Marinette is Ladybug. But how? I saw her give her back the Mouse Miraculous."Adrien says to himself, ignoring Alya's question. Marinette comes in and sees her three friends staring at something.
"Hey, guys. What's up?"she asks. Then she sees what they are staring at. She immediately puts the plate that she is carrying down and closes the box. She puts the box back to the record player and closes it.
"How did you find that?"Marinette asks, sitting down and putting her head in her hands.
"I was jut looking around when I saw the record player and I started to press random buttons."Alya explains.
Marinette just shakes her head and repeating to herself over and over again,
"This is not happening to me!"
"Marinette, you need to relax." Adrien says, rubbing her back. She turns to look at him in the eyes and asks him how.
"NOBODY IS SUPPOSED MY IDENTITY, ADRIEN! NOT EVEN CHAT NOIR KNOWS MY IDENTITY!!!! AND NOW THAT THE SECRET IS OUT HE IS GOING TO FIND OUT, SOMEHOW. I AM NOT READY FOR THAT TO CHANGE! " she yells at him.
"What do you mean you are not ready?"Alya asks her best friend.
"Ever since I became the guardian, things have been changing. Chat Noir is the only thing that has been consistent. I am not ready. And I don't know yet if he can know?"Marinette explains.
"If he can know?"Adrien asks.
"Since I am the guardian he is supposed to know who I am in case he needs help with anything that the guardian is supposed to help with. But, on the other hand, Master Fu, the previous guardian, told us that we cannot know each other's identities. It is complicated."she says. Alya's phone rings. It's her mom saying that she needs to babysit her little sisters.
"I need to go but we are going to talk tomorrow, okay?"Alya says, Marinette nods her head and waves at her best friend.
"I coming with you. Bye, dude, dudette." Nino says.
"So...I know this is going to screw up everything but I have to tell you something." Adrien says.
"Okay?"
"I am Chat Noir."
"No, you're not. Adrien, this is not funny."
"I am, Bugaboo. Plagg, come out."he says, shaking his bag. Plagg comes out of the bag.
"Hi, Marinette. Nice to see you again." the black kwami greets her.
"Hi, Plagg."
"Hi Adrien."says Tikki coming out of her hiding place.
"Hi, Tikki!"
"So... I need time to process this. Do you want to watch a movie?" Marinette asks the partner.
"Sure."
"Great! What do you want to watch?"
"Whatever you want, princess."
She opens her computer and he sees the photo.
"I love this photo." he says, looking at her.
"Now that we know each other's identities, how about that date?"he asks her.
"Adrien!" Marinette exclaims and he laughs.
