Ladybug sat on the roof, their usual spot, waiting for Cat Noir. While she was waiting, she thought about her day at the museum with Renard. It had surprised her that he wanted to spend time with her. They had a great time, and she never realized how much fun Renard could be. Maybe…she should give him a chance. But just then, Cat Noir landed next to her, and all thoughts of Renard vanished.

"Good evening, Ladybug. It's good to see you again," Cat Noir started.

Ladybug smiled at him. "You, too. How have you been? We haven't talked in a little while."

Cat Noir nodded. "I'm doing alright. Saving Paris, you know, the usual."

Ladybug giggled, and her cheeks flushed. "Just the usual."

Cat Noir smiled at her. "So, have you found out any more information about the previous Ladybug and Cat Noir?"

Ladybug's smile faded just a bit. "Uh…no, I haven't actually. I've told you all that I found out."

Cat Noir nodded. "That's alright." He turned to her and grinned. "And hey, we're doing a pretty good job ourselves."

Ladybug's smile returned, and her heart started to pound. The way he was looking at her…Her heart felt light. She moved closer to him ever so slightly. Cat Noir didn't seem to notice her movement, so she pulled her knees to her chest and rested her chin on her knees. Cat Noir noticed that, however.

"Is everything okay, Ladybug?"

She turned to him. "Hmm? Uh, yeah, everything's fine…"

Cat Noir felt that she was hiding something, but didn't want to pry. "Hey, uh, Ladybug, I need to go."

He stood up and helped her up. "If you need anything, I want you to call me, alright?"

Ladybug nodded. "Of course. I will."

He grinned at her before leaping off into the night. Ladybug sighed and hopped off the roof. She transformed back into Cateline, and tried not to take everything so personally. Cat Noir didn't feel the same way about her, and she had to accept that. Tikki hovered near Cateline.

"Hey, it's okay. You'll woo him with your charm someday," Tikki said, smiling.

Cateline smiled meekly. "You're right. I guess for now I just need to focus on me."

As she was heading home, she heard a yell. Cateline ran towards the yell and found a girl, curled up in an alley, crying. Cateline hurried to her and knelt down.

"Are you alright?" Cateline asked.

The girl looked up at Cateline, and then her eyes widened in fear. Cateline turned around and saw a man glaring down at the two girls. He shoved Cateline aside and grabbed the girl. Cateline shouted, "Stop! Who are you? What are you doing?"

The man just stared at her. "Mind your own business."

The girl looked at Cateline and pleaded with her eyes for help. Cateline put herself in between the man and the girl.

"Leave her alone!" Cateline shouted.

The man growled at Cateline, and was about to yell at her when a figure in black landed in front of Cateline, shielding her from the man. The man gasped and stepped back.

"C-Cat N-Noir…" he stuttered.

Cat Noir placed his hands on his hips. "Why don't you leave these two girls alone?"

The man nodded in fear and then ran. Cat Noir sighed and turned to face Cateline, stopping for a split second when he saw her. The girl behind Cateline thanked both of them.

"Thank you so much for helping me, both of you." She swallowed before continuing. "He's not a bad man. He's just very stern and he wants me to return home. See, I'm his oldest daughter, the oldest of six, and he wants me to help take care of them. I was leaving to get away from that house. So…thank you again."

Cat Noir stopped her before she left. "Do you have somewhere to go?"

The girl nodded. "My aunt lives just down the road. I'm going to live with her."

Cat Noir nodded. "I'll escort you."

The girl led Cat Noir to her aunt's house and walked inside, waving as she left. After she was gone, Cat Noir turned to Cateline.

"That was very brave of you," Cat Noir said, smiling.

Cateline blushed. "Um…thank you. I was just doing what I thought was right."

Cat Noir chuckled. "Do you need me to take you home?"

Cateline blushed. "Uh, s-sure, that would be nice."

Cat Noir wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close. "Hold on tight."

He used his pole to leap onto the rooftops of buildings and ran along them. "Where do you live?"

Cateline pointed to her house and Cat Noir landed on her balcony. "Here you go, princess. You're home safe now."

Cateline was still in shock of what had just happened. Cat Noir now knows where she lives. Before Cat Noir could leave, the door to the balcony opened and Marinette appeared. She gasped when she saw the feline vigilante.

"Cat Noir! What a surprise!" she said.

Cat Noir chuckled uneasily and rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh, yeah…I was just dropping your daughter off."

Marinette glanced at Cateline and shot a look that said, We'll talk later. Marinette smiled at Cat Noir.

"Well, thank you for that. I assume you have to get going, saving Paris and all."

Marinette waved goodbye and closed the balcony doors. Cat Noir looked back at Cateline.

"I guess this is…goodbye."

He was about to leap off the balcony when Cateline blurted, "Cateline…my name is Cateline."

Cat Noir turned back to her. "Goodnight…Cateline."

Cat Noir leapt off the balcony, leaving Cateline's heart pounding. She walked into her room and collapsed on her bed.

"Tikki…he knows where I live…"

Tikki laughed. "Did you see the way he looked at you?"

Cateline scoffed. "What? No, he didn't…"

She thought about how he had stopped when he first saw her, and how he offered to take her home. Maybe he did like her…at least he liked her as Cateline. She sighed.

"Tonight was amazing…"

Tikki giggled. "Get some sleep, Cateline. You have a long day tomorrow."

Cateline laid down in bed before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
