"Hello Marinete," Chat Noir said from outside of Marinette's room window. He gestured to the balcony and Tiki watched as her chosen one approached the trap door.
"Wait Marinette," she said flying towards her.
"What is it Tiki," she answered back with concern in her voice.
"I should hide in your jacket in case there's an akuma close by".
"Ok, good idea".
As Marinette grabbed her coat, Tiki flew to the other kwamis and said with a wink and smile, "I'll tell you the details later". She flew into Marinette's jacket which had a custom kwamii pocket lined with fleece. She ducked as Marinette opened the trapdoor and stepped outside.
"Why are you wearing a jacket, it's not that cold outside," Chat said, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, some of us don't have a super suit that keeps them warm," Marinette shot back with a smirk.
"Sorry about that," he said rubbing the back of his neck, his eyes drifting to the Paris view.
"Is everything ok Chat?," Marinette said.
Chat laughed bitterly, "My father is really stubborn, I want to do something with my civilian friends but I can't go".
"Why not".
"He says it's useless and I should just stay in my room and practice my piano like a mindless zombie."
"He told you to be a mindless zombie," Marinette said, raising her eyebrows.
"Well not exactly, but he might as well have".
"Well, anytime you need someone to talk to, my roof-balcony-thing is always open," Marinette said, smiling awkwardly and hoping Chat would laugh at her inability to find correct words, and he did laugh. Tiki was grinning as she eavesdropped from her hiding place. Chat and Marinette talked for another half an hour until they decided to go to sleep.
"Farewell princess," Chat said bowing dramatically as he took Marinette's hand and kissed it like he does to Ladybug.
"Bye Chat," Marinette said smiling, blushing softly, he saluted and extended his baton. He looked back one more time with a warm smile before he jumped his way back home.
Once he was out of eye-sight, Tiki zipped out of her hiding spot and smiled as she led a tired Marinette back into bed. After Marinette was snoring, the other kwamis huddled around Tiki to tell them what happend.
After she was done talking, the other kwamis had excited smiles on their faces.
"Ohh, I hope that they find out soon," Mullo squeaked.
"That will be another Ladybug and Chat Noir soulmate, that makes what, 300," said Pollen
"They are made for each other, creation and destruction," Duusu said brightly while spinning excitedly.
The other Kwamis rolled their eyes fondly at the Kwami of emotion. They were interrupted by a loud snore and they all jumped. They flew over to their master and saw her sprawled across the bed with her mouth hanging open with a bit of drool, her hair out of her pigtails was displayed on her pillow and her chest was moving up and down as she breathed peacefully. Tiki covered her with her blanket and the Kwamis went to their box to go to bed.
The next morning when Tiki woke up, she looked at the clock and saw it was 7:55. Wait…, 7:55!!!! THEY WERE LATE, AGAIN!! Tiki rushed to Marinette who was still sleeping and shook her awake.
"Tiki, wha-," Marinette said, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Look the time," Tiki said urgently.
"Don't tell me-ARGGG WE'RE LATE AGAIN!!"
Marinette rushed out of bed and threw her Mari clothes on and ran to school.
At school Marinette immediately went to her friends.
"Hey guys!" She said greeting Chloe and Adrien.
"What's up"
"Hey"
"Are you ready for that test in science?" Chloe asked
"Yeah but I still don't think I'm going to pass" said Adrien
The three of them walked towards class discussing the upcoming test and other school work.
Tiki was starting to get bored listening to all of the talk about school.
"Marinette, I'm going to go explore." Tiki whisperer
"Ok, but don't go too far because there might be akumas to beat!" Marinette said holding up a fist, " have fun."
Tiki floated away and started looking around the school. As she rounded the corner in the girls locker room she started to hear voices.
"Could you be any louder?"
Tiki thought she recognized the voices. She crept closer and saw Sabrina and Alya standing in front of Marinette's locker.
"What are they doing?" Tiki whispered, hiding behind a trash can.
"So can you get it open or not Alya? We need to get out of here before someone finds us" Sabrina said glaring at Alya.
" I'm almost done, I just need a few more seconds." Alya said. She was juggling around the lock on marinette's locker trying to open it.
"Good, we need to open that locker in order to make up a rumor about Mari so she will be expelled." Sabrina said. Tiki didn't wait there another moment. She rushed away trying to find Marinette and tell her what those two were doing.
