Adrien created a list of all of the girls in his class. The list had Chloe, Sabrina, Alya, Mylene, Alix, Rose, and Juleka. Adrien couldn't help but think that he had forgotten someone.

"Isn't there someone I'm forgetting?" Adrien asked.

"What about that fashion designer, what's her name, Marionette?" Plagg asked.

"Marinette, that's it. Thanks Plagg." Adrien said. "Okay, time to start the process of elimination."

Adrien recalled that Chloe was attacked by Lady Wifi, who was Alya, Alix was akumatized and became Timebreaker, and Sabrina was carrying Chloe off to safety during today's chaotic events. The list then looked like this;

Mylene

Rose

Juleka

Marinette

"Well, then, we have a few ideas on who it is. We've got Juleka, Rose, Mylene and Marinette." Adrien said. "Are there any other ways to determine who Ladybug is?"

"Not sure." Plagg answered, eating more Camembert. "If it wasn't for the fact that kwami magic hides true identities, you and Ladybug would have discovered each others identities a long time ago."

Meanwhile, Ladybug had just swung herself to the Notre Dame. She ran into the cathedral. Her Miraculous beeped and she detransformed. She breathed in and out rapidly. Tikki noticed this.

"Marinette, is everything ok?" Tikki asked.

"I...I can't believe this..." Marinette said. "Adrien... IS Cat Noir!"

"What?! How...how do you...?" Tikki tried to ask.

"That poem Cat Noir recited to me, is the same problem Adrien wrote!" Marinette exclaimed. "There's no other logical explanation. That letter Adrien wrote was for Ladybug. It was for me..." Her breathing slowed down.

"Okay... Calm down. So we know that Adrien is Cat Noir. And he likes your superhero persona." Tikki said. "Will you reveal your true identity to Cat Noir?"

"I don't know. I've always been scared that no one would like me if they knew who I am behind the mask." Marinette said. "What I don't get is well, the Adrien that I know, is so different from Cat Noir. Why is this?"

"I don't know." Tikki answered. She looked around. "Is this the Notre Dame?"

"Yes it is." Marinette answered. "My parents got married in this very church 20 years ago."

"Anyway, back to the Adrien Cat Noir situation." Tikki said. "What are you gonna do?"

"I don't know." Marinette answered. "Adrien doesn't know who I am because I forgot to sign that love letter..."

"If only this was easy." Tikki commented.

"When is anything actually easy?" Marinette asked. Tikki shrugged and flew into Marinette's bag. Marinette looked at the altar sadly. "Adrien doesn't even like the real me. Not like Cat Noir loves Ladybug."

"Maybe you could spend some more time with him. You might be able to find out more about him, and possibly figure out why Cat Noir acts like he does. Who knows, maybe you might get him to like you as more than just a friend." Tikki suggested.

"Alright. That might work. If only I had the courage to speak to him." Marinette said.

"Don't give up, Marinette. You'll find a way." Tikki said.

"You're right." Marinette said. She closed her bag and looked at the altar, smiling. "I won't give up."

Two days later, they were back in school. Alya held a photo of her and Marinette. It had been cut apart with scissors while under Dark Cupid's spell and later taped back together any destroyed photos. Chloe was still bummed about her poster of Adrien being burned. Adrien was staring off into space, trying to figure out who wrote him the love letter. A few hours later, during their lunch break, Adrien sat down on a bench, looking at the love letter.

"Who wrote this letter?" he asked.

"Oh Adrikens, are you talking about this little love poem here?" Chloe asked, pointing to the letter. "It was written by me."

"Really Chloe?" Adrien asked. "Nice try, but you can't fool me."

"Wha...what?" Chloe asked. Adrien walked away. "I don't get it. How did he see right through my lie?! What is going on?!" Chloe heard a sad trombone sound heard. She turned around and saw Sabrina with her phone. "Will you cut that out?!"

"Sorry Chloe!" Sabrina exclaimed.

After school, she met up with Adrien at the park nearby her house.

"So is there a reason why you asked me to come here?" Adrien asked.

"I just thought that we could, just, get away from all the craziness of high school life." Marinette answered. "No akuma attacks, no spoiled brats, just you and me, and the bright blue sky."

"I know most students find high school stressful." Adrien said. "Honestly, I exactly enjoy school because, well, for a long time, I was home-schooled."

"Home-schooled?" Marinette asked.

"Can I confide in you?" Adrien asked.

"Sure. You can tell me anything." Marinette answered.

"My father's been overprotective of me my whole life. Until this year, I wasn't allowed to go to a normal school." Adrien said. "I just want to live a normal life, but I guess that isn't really possible..."

"Why do you say that?" Marinette asked.

"Multiple reasons." Adrien answered. "For one thing, several girls at the school want to steal my heart. I'm a model, which also adds to the crazy fan girl army."

Marinette chuckled. She said, "I shouldn't be laughing."

"It's ok. I've never really called my fans a crazy fan girl army." Adrien responded.

"And then we have the craziest of them all..." Marinette started to say.

"Chloe Bourgeious." they answered in unison.

"Speaking of Chloe, why were you friends with someone like her in the first place?" Marinette asked.

"Well, it's a long story on that." Adrien answered.
