"Well, that's Friday," said Ladybug, brushing dust off her suit after returning the latest Lucky Charm. She stretched for a moment. "Gosh, I hope Hawkmoth takes the weekend off!"

There had been an akuma attack every day that week. Marinette didn't know how she was doing it all, only that she had to. She was fighting akumas, sewing the skating costumes, blasting through homework, all to clear her schedule to practice at the rink.

"Are you feline ok, bugaboo?" Chat Noir asked, leaning in towards her on his staff. Adrien's life was a blur lately, too. He hadn't fully realized the freedoms that Nathalie had been granting him while his dad was gone. Now that Gabriel Agrest was back, Adrien had to be fitted and photographed in the latest collection every available minute.

She smirked and dinged his bell. "I have a big day, that's all, I'd rather not be interrupted."

"That makes two of us, Milady," Chat purred.

Ladybug raised her eyebrows. "You have a date or something? You sound happy."

"I'm always happy around you, cutie," he grinned, "but if you must know, there's another supergirl who has my attentions this weekend." He was itchy to get to practice to see Marinette, despite Alain being unusually strict and attentive. It was the only time he got to touch her before she ran home to sew.

Ladybug was all astonishment. "Oh really? It's not Volpina again, is it?"

"Lady, you wound me. Can't a kitten learn from his mistakes?" He batted his lashes until she laughed. He smirked, though inside he was gnawed with guilt. How could he ask Marinette out if he kept thinking about Ladybug dance partying in front of the Eiffel Tower?

"Well, here's hoping I don't see you on Saturday, minou."

Chat Noir stuck his nose in her face. "Don't you mean.. Caturday?"

He found himself on his butt on the cobblestones, but could hear her laughing as she swung away.
