A/N- gets updates reads a review with a request first thing in my mind; WHERE IS MY NOTEBOOK?!?! Thank you for suggesting this: 'Mari is forced to show her parents who she is because she is constantly late and somehow the entire teams revealed'. And if you've noticed I've switched the order of the chapters to fit the story. This will be after The Bee aka Marinette's Predicament when I finish that which should be in fall, winter, or if I'm having writers block spring. I hope this was what you were hoping for!!!

Marinette sat there watching her parents pace.

"Marinette this is unappectable. We expect better than this from you." Papa told her.

"I don't know if we've been doing something wrong but your grades have been slipping. Why are you always late to everything?! It's like we can't trust you to be where we need you to be!" Maman cried.

"What do you have to say for yourself young lady?!" Papa boomed.

She said nothing. She couldn't. She couldn't risk their safety.

"It's like we don't even know you!" Maman cried.

Marinette had to fight back the tears.

Tikki flew behind her parents and nodded.

"Maman, Papa, I'm sorry for being late, but I'm busy-" Marinette began.

"Busy with what?!" Papa snapped.

Marinette shrank back. Adrien was right. Papa was scary.

"I'm Ladybug!" Marinette blurted.

Her parents froze.

"I've been Ladybug ever since the first day of school. I've been late because I've been fighting akumas. I didn't tell you because my kwami, Tikki didn't want me to, and because I wanted to keep you safe." Marinette told them.

"Chat Noir's been awesome at protecting me, he even died protecting me once. Vixen is so supportive of me, JT is the best at claming people down, and QB loves fighting akumas, letting herself be the real her." Marinette also explained.

"Marinette, we know." Maman told her softly.

Marinette cocked her head to the side and asked, "Know what?"

"We knew you were Ladybug ever since the Bubbler. You transformed right in front of us." Papa said, quietly.

"We're proud of you and Adrien honey. We didn't mean to perssure you into telling us like this." Maman said, sitting down.

"W-wh-what do you mean?!" Marinette asked, panicked.

"Ladybug and Chat Noir came out dating just when you two began dating in secret. It wasn't that hard to connect the dots." Papa said.

"So you're not mad?"

"Oh, you're still in trouble for being late when there wasn't even an akuma."

"Crap."

;3

Ladybug sat there swinging her legs as she waited for her teammates.

Chat was the first to show up and immediately laid down in her lap for snuggles.

Next was Queen Bee, who waved to them.

Then Jade Turtle showed up.

Last was Vixen who had her hair done in pigtails, and make-up smeared all over her face.

"Babysitting." Was all she said.

"So what is the meeting that you called for about?" Queen Bee asked.

She took a deep breath and said, "My parents know who I am!"

"What?!"

"For how long?!"

"How?!"

"I accidently transformed in front of them when you got akumazited, Nino. And they know that Adrien's Chat Noir which they figured out themselves." Ladybug explained.

"So they don't know who the rest of us are?"

She shook her head and said, "They didn't mention it."

Jade Turtle piped up, "Maybe we should tell them. My akumazition was a long time ago and they were able to keep themselves safe for this long and it would be useful for someone to know so if we ever need to recharge our kwamis we can go to your house."

"Hmm, that's a good idea but I don't want my parents to be in trouble." Ladybug said.

The team nodded.

Marinette walked into the living room with Alya, Nino, and Adrien.

"Maman, we're going to work on our English papers. Alya and Nini are also here." Marinette called.

"Hello Vixen and Jade Turtle." Maman said, poking her head out of the corner.

Alya and Nino paled.

"H-how d-did you . . ." Marinette stammered.

"A mom knows all. And I'm going on a limb here and saying ChloƩ is Queen Bee?" Maman said.

They all stared at her.

Maman smiled and yelled, "Tom you owe me ten euros!"

Alya turned to Marinette and deadpanned, "Your parents are scary."

Nino nodded in agreement with Adrien and Alya.

"Well considering Maman had me take every material arts out there till I was fourteen, and is called, The Black Dragon and Papa has a sword in the closet, yeah. They are pretty scary when they want to be." Marinette mused.

They just stared at her.

"What?"

A/N- and thank you for the support on my other fic person that suggested this idea and I'm working on it
