"I have to tell him who I am."

Tikki groaned. "How many times do I have to tell you, you can't. It would put Marinette at risk. Your Family. Your friends."

"But Chat and I could communicate, we could be friends in and out of the masks."

"You already are."

"Yeah, but he doesn't know that."

"He doesn't need to know. He risks your safety every time he visits with the mask."

"Its not fair to him. He should know"

"Life isn't fair Marinette."

Her voice cracked. "You think I don't know that? You think I still believe everything can be perfect? I'm a mess. I can barley do homework and school. I'm a superhero, and I get like 4 hours of sleep max. I'm low functioning. I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng, but I'm Also Ladybug. Ever since Adrien handed me the umbrella, I've been head over heels for him. He fell for me when he saw me. I mean I was the one that fell on him, but he fell in love. I have to tell him. " she took a deep breath. "This isn't just Marinette, it's Ladybug too. Its time to tell him."

Tikki clapped. "Marinette! You remembered."

"What?"

"The umbrella, you falling on Chat. No one told you that and you didn't read it in the diary. Its all coming back."

She blinked and looked around. "You're right. I remember fighting Akumas, like actual memories, not videos. I remember sitting with Alya. I remember stealing a phone?"

"Mari, you're getting better. I'm so proud."

"I have to talk to him."

"You should only give this information out on a need to know basis."

"yeah, well he needs to know."
