Ladybug stares off into the Paris sky, as she waits for patrol to end. Chat picks a rose from a nearby window box and drops it into Ladybugs lap.

"A Rose for beauty, M'lady." Chat purs, sitting down next to Ladybug.

"Chat." Ladybug sighs, picking up the rose. "Thank you, but i have a date tonight and cant accept this rose." She says softly, gently placing it on the roof between them.

"Oh," Chat says, looking down at his feet. "I actually have a date tonight too." Chat confesses. "I thought i might as well try it, even if my heart is still set on my Bugaboo."

"I-" Marinette starts, but she is cut off by the alarm she set. "Oh! Gotta go." She says, swinging away.

"Bye." Chat calls after her. He looks at his watch and realises he also has to leave for his date.

It's not until both the Heros are home, that they realise. The both have dates, on the same night, at the same time and in the same city.

Marinette puts on a summer dress, with a light cardigan and a sun hat. She slips on her shoes, just in time for the bakery bell to chime. She grabs her bag, pausing for Tikki to hop inside.

Marinette jogs down the stairs. She can hear her parents already telling her date all kinds f embarrassing stories. "Mother!" Marinette sighs as she walks into the bakery.

"What?" Her mother giggles, as she pulls Marinette's father behind the bakery counter. "We were just talking, sweetie."

"You're mother was just telling me about your Halloween costumes as a kid." Laughed the boy. Marinette finally looked at him and she felt a little light-headed.

He was wearing black skinny jeans, with black formal shoes. He has a white button-down, with a black leather jacket over it, sitting on his broad shoulders. A plectrum on his necklace and a couple of black leather bracelets on his wrists. Luka looks amazing.

Across town, Adrien is preparing himself in a similar manner. Adrien has on Black jeans and a pair of black shoes. He is also wearing a white button-down. He has a blazer on top, with the sleeves pushed up to the elbows, and his shirt cuffs are also rolled up to the elbow. He brushes his hair and takes a death breath before rushing downstairs and out of the door. He can hear Natalie behind him as he leaves. He shouts a quick sorry and rushes to the black car waiting for him.

He can only imagine the frustration Natalie is going to feel, explaining this to his dad.

He turns to the girl sitting next to him and apologises for jumping into the car like a mad man.

"No problem," Kagami replies. She is wearing a red oversized jumper and black leggings, with a pair of combat boots. "Let's go." She signals to the driver.

Kagami and Adrien start their evening in a family friend's restaurant. While across town, Marinette and Luka are still half a walk away from the start of their evening.

The two chat as they walk, soon they reach the cafe. "Wait here, Mari," Luka says, walking into the cafe.

Marinette stands confused, looking towards the waterfront and at the reflection of the stars on the water. She looks back into the cafe to see the man at the front desk handing Luka, a picnic basket and his guitar case.

Luka walks out and takes Marinette's hand with his free hand. "Come on." He says grinning. He leads Marinette to the waterfront.

Meanwhile across town, Luka and Kagami are talking about fencing while they wait for their main course. Kagami is explaining how she won a free dinner here, by beating the owner's son at a game of tennis. When Adrien's eyes wander to the stars outside and he has an Idea.
