Ladybug swung down on her yoyo to greet the hundreds - maybe even thousands- of reporters gathered to interview her. Where is that cat? She thought.
She soon spotted her partner posing for a little girl holding a pink notebook.
Ladybug and Cat Noir had just saved Paris from another akumatized civilian.
"Where did the supervillain first attack?" asked one reporter.
Ladybug's earrings flashed, reminding her that she would detransform and become her normal self - a girl named Marinette - again.
"I'd love to stay here and answer your questions," she told the reporters, "but I have to go before I transform back. Bug out!"
She threw her yo-yo onto the ledge of a balcony and swiftly swung herself onto the roof of a building.
"Wait!" someone called.
She turned, once again spotting her partner standing on the roof.
"I've waited long enough," he said. "There's something I have to tell you."
"I haven't got time, Cat Noir. I'm about to change back!"
"I'll be quick!" His eyes locked into hers, pleading her to listen. She rarely ever saw his sensitive side, only when it was something very important to him.
She hesitantly agreed. "Fine, but hurry," she told him.
Her earrings flashed once more, now a warning.
"Ladybug," he said, "I...I love you. I love you more than anyone else in the world. I'd give anything to know who's under that mask, but I know you'd never show anyone who you really are."
To his surprise, she hesitated.
"Cat Noir, I-"
Her voice was cut off by her earrings, giving a final warning. She started to lose her mask.
Cat Noir's ring flashed as well and his mask started to fade away.
Their powers slowly evaporated into the air, their suits working their way down until they were their normal selves.
Without thinking, Adrien opened his eyes. "M'lady..." he started, "Marinette?!"
She opened her eyes and her face turned scorching red as she realized her partner had been her school crush, Adrien, all along.
After a moment of surprised blushing, they slowly approached each other.
Their lips touched.
"They're made for each other," commented Tikki, Marinette's kwami.
"Guess they are," replied Plagg.
The saviors of Paris knew in that moment that they would be able to do anything knowing they had each other's trust, because love always wins in the end.
