Marinette*

Chat waited for me outside as I was cleaning myself up. When I came out, he was waiting for me on the sofa in front of the television with a show on.

'What are you watching?' I asked.

'I'm not sure myself, Princess. It was on the TV when I turned it on. I'll check,' he replied. 'So how are you, right now?'

'Better,' I said, sitting next to him.

'Hey, if you ever need someone to go to the hospital with you, call this guy. He'll help you with anything,' he said, handing me a sheet of paper with a phone number on it.

'Thank you, but I think Alya would go with me if I needed someone.'

'Just in case your friend or family is not available.'

'Thanks,' I continued, cuddling him.

He put his head on mine in return and whispered softly, 'I missed you.'

'I missed you, too,' I responded. 'So wanna watch a movie? I afternoon shift tomorrow, so I could stay up as late as I want.'

'Sure.'

'Choose a movie, and I'll make some popcorn.'

'Thanks.'

We finished two movies and. Then, Chat went home to change and came back. We watched another movie on the bed, and I fell asleep snuggled to him.


The next morning we had a small breakfast before I had to go to work. 'See you later, Chat,' I bitted him goodbye, before dashing out the apartment with a bag full of plums.

'Wait, Purr-incess. I'll go with you,' he said transformed.

'How are you going without making people notice?'

'I'll hold the bag. People would just think that Chat Noir founded a woman holding such a huge bag, so he helped her.'

'Good idea. I do need a hand since the bag is ridiculously heavy,' I said sarcastically since the bag was not that big, handing him the bag of plum. I locked the house, we walked to my work place together.

My co-workers was excited to see him and asked me all day long of how did he got to me. I answered them the story he made up.

'Oh, and! These are plums I got from my neighbor. They're pretty nice. Grab some if you like,' I said.

'Thanks!,' said four of them in unison, grabbing some.

'Wow! That's a nice sour taste I got there!' said one of them. I agreed, and so did the others. We emptied the bag in no time.

When my shift was to an end, I took the bag and walked back home. I took a shower and went patrolling with Volphina.

It was a nice night, but Chat was still no where to be found. I believed that he was ditching patrol because he told us that he would be away for two months, and Ladybug should not be knowing that he got back.

As the wind brushed my face, I drifted into thoughts.

Parisian Design Firm was not a giant company, but it got everything I needed: lovely co-workers, great location, and prepared equipments for any design. The speciality of this design firm was, they did not make duplicates. There was only the original, and commissions were also accepted for another size of the same design, or a new design. All in all, it was a great memorable place to work in.

I paid attention to where I was going again, but I had to stop in the middle because of motion sickness that I rarely had.

'Are you alright?' Volphina asked, stopping next to me.

'I feel like throwing up,' I told her.

'Motion sickness? I've never seen you had that before.'

'Me, too. I bet I am very sick.'

'Take this night off, Bug. I'll patrol the city for you.'

'Thanks,' I replied and swing to an alley to untransform.

'Marinette, are you alright?' Tikki questioned.

'Not as bad anymore.'

'You should take a cab home instead of walking.'

'I think so, too,' I agreed and called a cab.

I got back home and vomited again. I should see a doctor.

I called Alya, but her phone was turned off. I guessed Chat could be a fortune teller. I reached out for the number he gave me.

I pressed the numbers on my phone and dialed it.

'Hello?' said the person on the other side of the phone. He sounded somewhat familiar.

'Hi! This is Marinette. I hope our mutual friend had told you about me.'

'Marinette? Mutual friend?... Oh, right! Mari, it's me, Adrien.'

I looked at the screen of my phone, and there it was the name of the contact number. It was really Adrien's number!
