"Only to you," he joked. Marinette moved her head back to look at him as she rolled her eyes. She noticed he was still dressed as Chat. "We've got some time before the festival, right?"

"Yeah," she said eyeing him suspiciously. Suddenly, he pushed the button on his pole as he held tightly on to her waist and they lifted up into the air. They went over a couple of roof tops before landing on top of the Eiffel Tower.

They sat down at the edge and looked out at Paris. Their home. The place that they strived to save each and everyday, but they rarely sat down and watched the city go about it's day or listened to it.

Marinette treasured these moments of watching and listening. Chat loved these moments too, but today all he could focus on was her.

Chat watched her as she took in her surroundings. He watched as she slowly turned to face him, realizing that he was watching her. He stared at her Bluebell eyes and light pink lips wanting nothing more in this world than to kiss her.

As if reading his mind, Marinette leaned closer to her. Chat was about to close the space between them when his phone buzzed. Every single time, he thought as he let out a groan.

He looked at his phone and there was two missed calls and a text from Nino. They were running late to the festival now. Chat helped Mari up and left.

Little did they know, someone had been watching them the entire time they were up there.

"There you two are!" Alya said as Marinette and Adrien approached her in the park. Right behind her was the entrance to the festival. "Nino us already inside waiting for us. Where have you two been?"

Marinette looked at Adrien, "Adrien came to pick me up and I was running late." Alya nodded and it seemed as though she bought the lie.

Adrien grabbed ahold of Marinette's hand and started to lead her in. Alya leaned down to Mari's ear and whispered, "There is something that you and I need to discuss later."

Marinette nodded hesitantly as they entered the festival.

Adrien was in awe of everything. There was lots of people dressed up as Chat Noir and Ladybug, but none of the Ladybugs compared to his bugaboo. There was Ladybug and Chat themed balloons everywhere.

Kids were getting their faces painted as the heros and then pretending to fight the bad guys. There were some games and food for everyone and in the middle of it all was a giant, round stage with a banner above it. Which read Meet and greet.

The group of friends met up with Nino and some other kids from their class and they played some games and ate some yummy food. Everyone was having so much fun, even Chole.

That's when the mayor climbed up on the stage and announced that it was time for the meeting and greet with Ladybug and Chat Noir. Marinette panicked and excused herself to the bathroom. Adrien followed suit and together the pushed through the crowd that was quickly forming around the stage.

They ran out of the park and ducked into an ally where they transformed.

"We can't stay to long because we don't want anyone to notice that Marinette and Adrien are missing," Chat Noir reminded once they were transformed. Ladybug nodded. They needed to be extra careful.

Together they ran along the roofs till they landed on the stage, making the crowd erupt with cheers. They took a few pictures and signed a few things. All the while, trying to avoid getting to close to Nino or Alya.

"Thank you for having us! But sadly we have to go," Ladybug said. A series of awes followed. "Bug out!"

With that, they left and reappeared as Adrien and Marinette.

"You have some serious explaining to do!" Ayla scolded as they walked out of the park. It was just the three of them, Nino had to leave early to watch his little brother.

"What do you mean?" Marinette asked looking at Adrien in confusion.

"Don't play the innocent card. Something is going on and I need to know," she demanded, stopping to look at them.

"Seriously, Alya, we don't have anything to hide," Adrien tried to convince her, but she was too smart and they knew it.

"You might not, but she," Alya said pointing a finger at Marinette. "Does!"

To further explain, Alya pulled out her phone held it up for them to see. It was a picture of the Eiffel Tower, but you could see Marinette looking into Chat Noir's eyes when they almost kissed.

"How did you get this?" Marinette asked taking the phone from Alya.

"That doesn't matter. What matters is your cheating on Adrien!" Alya said rather loudly. Marinette pulled Alya behind a near by tree to keep her friend from causing a scene.

"Your cheating on Adrien with Chat Noir!" Alya said again, but this time a little quieter. Marinette was trying to think of what to say when the girls heard someone start to laugh. Alya and Marinette looked at Adrien, who was trying to stifle a laugh. Marinette realized why he thought that it was funny. Ayla was accusing Marinette of cheating on Adrien with, well, Adrien. Marinette playfully smacked his arm, while trying and failing to not smile.

"What's so funny? I thought that he would be mad to know that your cheating," Alya said.

"Um, lets go back to my house and I'll explain," Marinette said.

"Hello, Alya and Adrien," Marinette's mom said as they walked into the store. She was checking someone out as they walked into the little bakery.

"Hi mom. We are headed up stairs to hangout for a little while," Marinette said as she gave her mom a hug.

"Okay have fun! Oh, and you can have these so you don't get hungry." She handed Marinette a tray of cookies as they started up the steps.

When they finally got into Marinette's room, Marinette set the cookies down on her desk.

"Okay we're up here and alone. What is going on already?" Alya asked quickly growing impatient.

"You might want to sit down," Mari suggested. Once Alya sat down, Mari looked at Adrien for help. Adrien was munching on a cookie with another one in his other hand which he quickly put down when Mari glared at him. He walked over and took her hand.

"The reason she's not cheating on me is because I am Chat Noir," he said Alya's stared at him wide eyed.

"I knew it!' She said as she jumped up. Then she stopped as she thought out loud, "Wait, I thought that Ladybug and Chat Noir were dating."

"Well, technically they are," Adrien said as he put his arm around Marinette's waist.

"So, that means," Alya started turning her attention to Mari.

"Yes, I am Ladybug," Marinette finished.
