Marinette and Cat Noir sat together on Marinette's chaise lounge, eating a bowl of popcorn and watching Mean Girls. For some reason, Cat Noir had insisted on that movie, claiming it was a "sleepover classic." When Marinette asked if it would make him feel awkward, he only shrugged and said, "Why would it? I'm mature enough to go "Ewww" when people make out. It's just a movie."

"Gretchen, stop trying to make 'fetch' happen, it's NOT going to happen."

Marinette giggled at the iconic line, which made Cat Noir smile.

Then his ring beeped. Marinette was too focused on the movie to hear it, but Cat Noir did. He didn't normally detransform from being in costume for too long, but he'd arrived at Marinette's around ten o'clock at night, and it was now well past three in the morning.

"Can you please pause it for a second? I need to, um... do something." He asked, getting up.

"Is something wrong?" Asked Marinette, getting up and pausing the movie on her computer.

"No, um... I'll be back in a few minutes. Cat Noir climbed up the ladder to Marinette's bed and opened the trapdoor, leaping out. He jumped off of the balcony and into the alleyway next to the bakery before detransforming.

"No one told me you'd be at your girlfriend's house for five hours!" Complained Plagg, the moment Adrien dropped his transformation.

"I told you I was gonna go over to her house for a sleepover!"

"I thought you meant you'd take a nice nap, not spend the night! Now, where's my cheese? I'm starving!"

Adrien reached into his breast-pocket, expecting to find a piece of camembert cheese, but there was nothing there.

"Shoot." He muttered.

What?" Asked Plagg.

"I forgot to bring cheese..?"

What's taking Cat Noir so long to get back? He said he'd only take a few minutes. Wondered Marinette, starting to get worried.

"Should I go outside and check if he's nearby?" she asked Tikki.

"Well, it wouldn't hurt to check." Her kwami chirped.

Marinette went up to her balcony, looking around for her lost cat. She was about to give up when she heard his voice from the alleyway, she couldn't make out what he was saying, but it sounded like he was talking to someone. Curious, Marinette decided to go investigate.

She climbed down the ladder and stairs then quietly left the bakery and into the alleyway.

"Cat Noir?" She called, out, sticking her head out the door. "Are you there?"

"Marinette?" She heard his voice respond, but she didn't see him.

She heard a loud crashing noise, followed by a groan.

"Are you okay?" She asked, concerned that he had hurt himself.

"I'm fine!" He called, emerging from behind the dumpster. Marinette caught sight of what he was wearing and burst into laughter.

It seemed that he was detransformed, and her suspicions were confirmed true when she caught sight of the floating black cat kwami.

"What on Earth are you wearing?!" The young fashion designer exclaimed once she was done with her laughing fit.
