I AM ALIVE! Sorry for the long wait, but I have been working on about 10 other fics that will most likely make their way onto this site for a long time. I have been working on an undertale fic that is just fluff and humor for when I can't update my two main fics, so be sure to check that out! Also, I am still looking for cover artists! If you are interested, PM me! The chance might be gone very soon though, so make sure to PM soon! I know that the chapter title for this was not very clever, so if you come up with a better one, tell me! Sadly the q and a will not be held in this chapter since I wanted it to have a separate chapter all to its self. I am inviting my readers to send me questions as reviews or PMs that you might want to have included in the q and a! That way it is a little bit interactve in a way! I look forward to hearing your opinions on this chapter and questions you want answered int he q and a (if it isn't a spoiler). Enjoy!

DEVON POV

I woke up with Jace snoring away right next to me. A quiet, near silent, chuckle escaped my chapped lips. After carefully moving Jace over onto an empty patch of the bright orange hammock, I slipped off of said hammock and onto the floor. I immediately notice Matt snoring away on the couch. A smile forms on my mouth as I look at his disheveled hair and slightly wet pillow. A yawn escapes my lips, reminding me of what today was. Mom's death anniversary. My mood is immediately ruined. Well, at least you have the speech to look forwards to. My mind took 2 seconds before registering what it had just reminded itself of. THE SPEECH! I scrambled over to the bathroom, rapidly got dressed and ready for the day, then rushed right back into the living room. I swooped down and picked up my bag, then gently woke up Jace.

" Jace? Time to wake up buddy!" I whisper-yell. Jace groggily raises his head and rubs his eyes. I scoop him up and put him in my bags front pocket. It had been modified to make a small area for Jace to sleep in and relax while I was busy doing things outside of the house. Matt starts stirring and sits up as well.

" Devon?"

" Mornin'. Time to get going!" I press a fake smile onto my lips. Matt looks puzzled about something for a moment, but shrugs it off and starts getting ready as well. I wait for him outside of the apartment while he is getting ready.

" Devon?" Jace's small voice comes out from the bag.

" Yes?"

" Are you going to be ok?" I pause. Was I going to be ok? I had no idea.

" I don't know Jace, but all I can do at the moment is put on a brave face and push on." Jace doesn't speak again. Matt comes out a few minutes later.

" Ready?" I nod. We walk towards school, talking about the upcoming speech.

" Are you excited?" Matt asks as we walk through the streets and roads filled with people heading off to work, school, or other engagements.

" Yup! Are you?"

" Yeah, I am really excited for you." I nearly freeze.

" Wait, you're not going on with me?" Matt shakes his head.

" Why?"

" You said that you would hold a q and a, not me. Besides, you have always been better at dealing with the public then I have." I simply nod. This day couldn't get any worse.

Of course I had to jinx it. As soon as we reached the school Chloe and her orange haired friend stalked up to us.

" Listen here brat," Chloe jabbed a finger into my shoulder. " I don't know what you did to my Adrikens but ever since you and your idiot friend here appeared Adrien has started dating Maritrash. So you better stop whatever trickery you are doing and stop messing around with me or else I am telling my dad. He is the mayor." I snorted.

" First of all, Adrikens? Really? Second, neither Matt nor I did anything. Third, I couldn't care less about what your dad is going to do to me. I am not a citizen of France. What is he going to do, call my dad and tell him to ground me? And lastly, stop bothering me and my friends unless you want to answer to me. Okay?" Chloe stepped back with her mouth open and a hand perched on her collarbone. Sabrina copied her.

" How dare you talk to me like that! I am the daughters mayor and I will not be- hey!" I grabbed Matt's arm and started pulling him away from the yellow fiend. I dropped his arm once we were into the school.

" Oh my goodness is she annoying," I mutter just loud enough for Matt to hear. He lets out a humorless chuckle.

" Yeah." We both head off to class and to our separate seats. The entire day seems to drag along. Each class was longer then the last, and the feeling of nothing inside my chest was getting worse and worse with each lesson. Eventually after 3 hours, though it felt like 10 to me, it was lunch. I sat with the small group that consisted of Matt, Marinette, Adrien, Nino, and Alya. I sat on the end, but I was surprised when Alya sat right next to me.

" Hey girl! How's it going?" Alya happily asks. She was definitely...perky.

" Good, you?" I respond in my typical fashion as I pulled a small sandwich out of my bag. Alya pulled her own lunch out and started picking at some strawberries.

" Pretty good. Are you going to be watching the interview on Great Dame today? I am so excited that I get to be on actual TV! This is going to be so amazing and really help boost views on the Ladyblog!" I nod.

" Congratulations. Aspirin' to be a journalist?" Alya nods. Marinette is sitting across from us, noticeably right next to Adrien, and adds her own input in.

" You should check out the Ladyblog sometime! Alya is really talented!" I nod.

" Well, best of luck on the interview," I tell Alya with a smile. I had become exceptionally good at the talent of faking smiles. You could hardly tell the difference between my real and fake ones.

" Thanks! I was wondering, since you and Matt are from America, Great Dame and Avian would be the miraculous wielders from your area, correct?" Alya questions. I nod again.

" What are they like? Do you think there is anything I need to know before talking to Great Dame?" I shrug and swallow the last bite of my sandwich.

" Just be yerself I guess. Nothing much more to it. Great Dame and Avian are great people, protectin' everyone all the time. Anyhoo, I'm gonna head over to the library for now. See you." After saying goodbye to the people at the table, I headed off to the library and into the farthest and most secluded corner I could find. Jace whipped out of my bag's pocket and settled himself in my hoodie. I passed him a marshmallow, but did nothing more to acknowledge the kwami's presence. If Jace noticed this, he didn't make any motion to mention it. My bag drops to the floor next to the table as I stand up and start looking at the books on the bookcases near me. Almost none of the books caught my attention until I noticed a small green one hiding between two larger books.

I pulled the book out of it's hiding spot and dusted off the cover.

" 101 Dog Puns: Im-PAW-sable to Resist Laughter!" I read out loud with a small chuckle. I brought the book back to the table and started flipping through the pages, committing the puns to memory. By the time the bell rang for the next class I had already read through half of the book. Jace had fallen asleep and didn't flinch as I moved him back into his pocket in my bag. The librarian helped me check out the book before I dragged myself to the next class.

The next few classes seem to drag on just as much, if not more then my morning classes, but once we were released from the prison of education my nerves from the upcoming interview filled my stomach again.

" You ready Devon?" Matt asked as I prepared to make my way to the station. I simply nodded and called out to Jace to transform.

" See you!" I called out. Matt waved in response I I made my way out of the apartment and into the streets. The trip to the station was painless, and when I got there I was quickly whisked into a room where Alya and Nadja were already waiting.

" I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long," I ask as I take a seat in the third chair.

" Not at all Great Dame." Nadja chuckles. " We would like to get started as soon as possible, so I hope you don't mind if we start right away." I shake my head and put up another fake smile. No one could have known that I was actually depressed and wanting absolutely nothing to do with any of this. Instead they saw a miraculous wielder who was ready to answer questions and smile and wave. A camera guy started counting down.

" Going live in 3 2 1."

" Hello everyone! I am Nadja Chamack from the Kids+ TV station live with Alya Césaire and American hero Great Dame!"
