The MIRACULOUS Next Generation

Chapter # 34 Friends favor.

"now, I can take a look at that box thing." Emma sat down on the bed crossing her leg and placing the box in front of her.

After ten minutes of just staring at the box, Emma looked at the Kwami sitting on the pillow munching cookies.

"do you know how to pick locks?" she asked.

"I am sorry, Emma, I don't."

"Alright, then they must have a toolbox here somewhere, I think." Emma stood up and started shuffling through the drawers.

"are you going to help me or not?" Emma asked the amused Kwami.

"Sure, why not?" the Kwami started looking in the drawers that were untouched by Emma.

"Oh...look what I've found." Emma pulled out a photo album., "It's Mama's highschool album." She dusted the old album and took her seat on the bed again.

"Tikki, don't you want to see it?" The red Kwami stopped the shuffling and floated towards her wielder.

Emma opened the old Album and the first picture was of her parents smiling.

"Did you know, Tikki, My parents were high school sweethearts." The red Kwami smiled.

"look, Tikki, its Aunt Alya and Uncle Nino." she pointed at them.

"And its Chloe bourgeois," it was a blond girl with a ponytail. "and oh...its Luka and his sister" she turned the page, "and that is---" it was girl with midnight hair and hazel eyes. "I don't know her." Emma looked confused, "Mum never said anything about her this friend but she almost looks familiar."

"Maybe, it's because of her hair Emma they are the same as your Mother." The Kwami quipped.

"Maybe," she shrugged, there was a sound of glass shattering. 

"What was that?" 

"We should go and look, Emma," 

Emma opens the trap door that leads to the balcony. 

Emma looked around and heard maniacal laughter her head snapped in the direction of the sound Emma groaned,  what a nice time to unleash the Akuma.

"don't they have anything else to do at this time of night?" she asked mostly herself.

"Tikki, Spots On!"

"Hello, Ladybug." she was greeted by Chat Noir. "Any guess where the Akuma is?" he asked pulling out his baton.

"Not really, But I am betting it's in the tiara."

"We will see about that, Ladybug."

"We sure will."

After an offensive fight sequence on their part, our heroes were tired but the Akuma seemed to have an infinite power supply.

"Ladybug!" she looked at her partner, "look out!" but it was too late the power beam came hurling towards Ladybug that was a moment when she realized it was the end she was going to die with her parents abroad and she didn't even say her proper goodbye to her friends and she didn't tell a certain someone fighting by her side that she liked him.

her musing was cut off by a blurry Image of black pushing her aside and taking a blow that was meant to be for her and his body fell from the bridge, where the Akuma had them cornered.

"No, CHAT!" she screamed, at the top of her lungs.

Chat noir was engulfed in the darkness there was nothing at all.

Ladybug didn't waste any time and jumped after an unconscious Chat Noir.

Ladybug got shivers when the cold water touched her exposed skin.

'you better be alive, Chat Noir,'

She saw his dark figure drowning deep into the water. she was swimming in his direction and caught him by his wrist.

She used all her might to get them to the shore of the river.

she was panting when she looked over at her unconscious partner. she felt guilt fill her heart, he was breathing but it was shallow and rigged.

she placed her hands over his chest and tried to release water from his lungs as much as possible.

"Come on, Chat, don't you dare die on me." her eyes welled up with tears as a reminder of her guilt.

after getting no response she closed her eyes and tried to think of something.

'He is going to be fine.' she heard a coughing sound and a grown soon followed.

she opened her eyes and looked at the cat suited hero who was now conscious.

"Oh my god, Chat!" she yelled, because of the immense relief she felt.

"hey, Ladybug." his voice was hoarse.

she leaned closer and hugged him.

"wouldn't it be more comfortable, if I sit up? you are squishing me." she realized he was still lying flat on the stone shore.

she released him as soon as she could.

he sits up and looked at his partner.

"What?"

"you can hug me if you want to," she slapped his arm playfully.

"Dork," but that thing caught him off guard was when he was pulled into another.

"I was so scared," she sniffled trying to hold back tears that were on the edge.

"I know and I am sorry." he stroked her hair.

"you shouldn't be the one saying sorry," she pulled back and looked at her partner, "I should be the one apologizing." she softly said.

"hey, look at me Ladybug." she looked up, "the thing did back there I will do it again if I had to,"

she was about to say something but he placed a finger gently on her lips silencing her.

"if that means you are safe after all that's what friends do, right? and also it's in our job description. being a superhero is not a bed of roses,"

she smiled at last, "And I will do that for you anytime too."

"Now, on with our duty where is that blasted Akuma?"
