Hey, guys. Welcome to the new chapter of The Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug, Chat Noir, White Loup, Bunnix! I hope that you guys will enjoy the chapter...anyway, I don't own anything except for my OC'S.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

It was a quiet, normal Tuesday morning in the city of Paris as we cue to Collége Françoise Dupont and zoom into one of the classrooms as we see Miss Bustier teaching her students about some subject or whatever, but not every student was paying attention to her as Duncan was currently watching a video of one of the Miracu-League's past fight with the Pharaoh and Alya, who was sitting beside him, was cutting out multiple magazine photos of the Miracu-League as she then holds up the pictures and began putting it over the students faces, trying to figure out their secret identities as she stuck out her tongue in concentration.

"I'm very pleased with how you all did on your last assignment." Miss Bustier says while walking over her students as Alya made a Bunnix cutout and hovers the ripped out photo over a short blonde-haired teenage girl's face before holding up a Chat Noir cutout over a spikey orange-haired teenage boy's face as Alya hummed thoughtfully before shaking her head as Duncan continued watching his video. "Some of you have really stepped up, and I do appreciate it." Miss Bustier says as Alya then holds up the cutouts of Ladybug and White Loup and puts it over Chloe and Katherine's face as Alya immediately knew that they couldn't possibly be Ladybug and White Loup as the Bourgeois's sisters noticed what she was doing and glared at her in annoyance before suddenly smirking as Chloe and Katherine pointed ahead as Alya turns around and saw Miss Bustier giving her and Duncan an unamused look.

"Having fun, kids?" Miss Bustier asked as Alya smiles at her sheepishly and puts down the cutouts on her desk as she nudges Duncan and the teen looked up as he saw his teacher standing over him and panics as Duncan frantically turns off his phone and hides it in his backpack as he smiles up at her innocently. Miss Bustier snorted in amusement at her student's antics as she shakes her head before noticing that three students were currently missing from class as Miss Bustier raised an eyebrow confusedly and turned over to Alya and Duncan. "Alya, is Marinette still in the girls' room?"

"Uh, I don't know, miss," Alya answered truthfully, wondering why it was taking her best friend an hour to go the bathroom as Miss Bustier nodded and turned over to Duncan.

"And Duncan, do you where your friends Douglass and Alix are?"

"Oh, Douglass called earlier and said that Alix was sick at home, and he's looking after her," Duncan answered as Miss Bustier and Alya smiled at this.

"Aww, that sounds so sweet! Douglass must care about her a lot." Alya says as Duncan rolled his eyes and scoffs as he crossed his arms.

"Oh, you have no idea, dude. Those two had a crush on each other ever since they were little kids, and Marinette and I made a bet on when they're going to hook up. Marinette thinks they will confess to each other by the end of either middle school or high school, and I think they're going to confess each other when they're in college or when they're adults." Duncan says as Alya giggled and nodded as Miss Bustier laughed as well before composing herself as she smiled at Duncan.

"Well, since Alix is at home sick and Douglas is looking after her, then you mind handing them their homework?"

"Sure, I don't mind," Duncan says as Miss Bustier nodded and the bell rang as students began filing out of the room.

"Now, remember everyone, tonight I want you all to read chapter three of the breathtaking France, the First Thousand Years. Then, answer this simple questionnaire." Miss Bustier says while handing over the questionnaire to all of the students before turning back to Alya and Duncan as she pulled out Douglass and Alix's homework. "Here you go, Duncan." Miss Bustier says as Duncan nodded and grabbed his friend's homework as Miss Bustier then turned over to Alya. "And Alya? Please, be a dear and give Marinette her homework after she's done with her...business." Miss Bustier says awkwardly while handing over Marinette's homework to Alya.

"I can do that, teach," Alya says with a shrug as she grabbed Marinette's homework and stood up as she walked out of the classroom, and Duncan followed after her as they made their way outside. "So, Alix's sick, huh?" Alya asked Duncan, trying to strike a conversation with him as they were making their way through the hallway of their school.

"Yep, we found out about it when we were walking towards Alix's house to pick her up for school. Her Dad told us that she caught a cold last night and was too drained to go to school today, so he decided to keep her in her room to rest but said that he can't look after her all day due to needing to go to work and since Alix's brother wasn't around, he asked if one of us can stay behind to look after her. And, of course, Douglass stepped up to look after Alix while he's gone." Duncan explained as Alya nodded and giggled a bit as she placed her hands over her head.

"He, he, that boy has it bad for her," Alya says as Duncan smirks in amusement and nodded knowingly as Alya then frowns and gains a sympathetic look as she looks away. "Man, I feel bad for Alix, though. Being cooped up in her room all day is no fun, especially when you're sick." Alya says as Duncan nodded somberly, and an idea suddenly popped into her head as Alya grins. "Hey, Duncan, why don't you, me, and Marinette check up on Alix after school and keep her company for a while?" Alya suggested as Duncan smiled widely and nodded as he placed his hands on his pockets.

"That sounds like a great idea, Alya. I'm sure Alix will love that."

"Cool, let me call Marinette to tell her our plan," Alya says while pulling out her phone as she tries to call for Marinette, but only to receive her voicemail message as Alya raised an eyebrow. "Huh, weird, she's not answering," Alya says while giving Duncan a confused look as the young teen shrugged, and they walked by the girl's bathroom as Alya's eyes it worriedly. "Maybe she's still in the bathroom? I'm going in to check on her." Alya says as she began walking towards the bathroom and opens it as the glasses-wearing girl was about to go in, but stopped as she noticed that Duncan was following after her. "Alone," Alya stated firmly while giving the young teen a deadpan look as Duncan smiles at her sheepishly and rubs his neck awkwardly as he took a couple of steps back, and a satisfied Alya walks into the bathroom as she began searching for Marinette. "Marinette? You're here, girl?" Alya asked while cautiously looking under the stalls for any sign of her clumsy best friend as Alya saw that all of the bathrooms were empty and raises an eyebrow suspiciously as she then turns around and walks out of the bathroom.

"Well?" Duncan asked after seeing Alya walking out of the girl's bathroom as she shrugs at him.

"No dice, she's not in the bathroom," Alya says as Duncan raises an eyebrow at this, wondering where did his best friend's sister run off to as the duo decided to look after Marinette and began searching the whole school as the teens asked various students on Marinette's whereabouts, and some of them said they watched Marinette ran off towards the Locker Room as they quickly ran over towards the Locker Room and walked inside as they looked around.

"Marinette? Marinette? Where are you, girl?" Alya asked as Duncan glanced around the room curiously and spotted the Bourgeois Sisters crowding around their lockers as Duncan raised an eyebrow at this and elbowed Alya to get her attention as he pointed at the girls, and Alya narrowed her eyes at them suspiciously as she and Duncan hid behind a pillar and watched as Chloe and Katherine whispered to each other frantically, and they take a couple of familiar objects out of their lockers as Alya and Duncan's eyes widen in surprise as they saw that Chloe was holding Laldybug's yo-yo and Katherine was holding onto White Loup's amulet as Alya and Duncan turned to each other in shock.

"Chloe...?" Alya asked.

"...and Katherine...?" Duncan continued.

"Are Ladybug and White Loup!?" Alya and Duncan asked in pure disbelief as they watched Chloe and Katherine ran off, and the duo followed after them as they saw the Borgueois Sisters running out of school and board their limousine as they drove off.

"I-I can't believe this! Chloe and Katherine are Ladybug and White Loup!? That can't be true!" Duncan shouted as Alya quickly covers his mouth and looks around frantically, making sure that no one overheard them as Alya gave him a stern look.

"Quiet! We need to talk about this first before we say anything to the others!" Alya hisses out as she then pulls out her phone and dials up for Marinette, only to groan in annoyance as she had received another voicemail. "Hey, Marinette. Ring me ASAP! We gotta talk!" Alya shouted into her phone before turning it off as she and Duncan spotted Nino walking past them, and Alya beams as she quickly grabbed onto Nino's arm. "Nino, wait!"

"Yeah?" Nino asked confusedly as Alya smiled at him excitedly.

"Come with us! We need your help with something!" Alya says and, before Nino could say anything, began pulling him aside as they ran out of school, and a still stunned Duncan followed after them as they sat down on a bench, and Alya pulls out her phone as she began trying to call Marinette again.

"So-"

"Shhh!" Alya shushes Nino as she continued trying to call Mariennete, but once again received her voicemail as Alya groans in irritation. "Ughh. I hate when Marinette goes AWOL. She's not calling me back! Where is that girl?!"

"Oh, I know how you feel. Lately, Douglass and Alix have been flaking on me a lot for the last few months." Duncan says as Nino nodded knowingly.

"Seriously. My man, Adrien's the exact same way. But I guess you gotta be sly when Mr. Control Freak is your daddy-o." Nino says as Duncan nodded.

"Yeah, and at first I thought that Douglass and Alix were secretly dating each other behind my back, but when I asked Marinette about it, she told me that they haven't got together yet and are simply just hanging out together a lot lately," Duncan says as Alya raises an eyebrow at him.

"And how do you know she's telling the truth?" Nino asked curiously as Duncan rolled his eyes.

"Oh, please, even if Douglass and Alix were dating each other secretly, Marinette will be the first one to find out, and she will definitely not be able to hide that secret from everybody else. Marinette is really terrible at keeping secrets," Duncan says matter-of-factly as Alya nodded in agreement, and then Duncan's phone rings as he pulls it out, and the group saw that a new video of the Miracu-League appeared as Duncan quickly pressed play.

"And once again, the Miracu-League have saved Paris from the clutches of a menacing villain!" Nadja says while standing in the middle of a cheering crowd as Ladybug was waving sheepishly at them, and Chat Noir and White Loup were currently comforting the poor victim that fell under Hawkmoth's spell as Alya and Duncan narrowed their eyes at the young heroes, specifically Ladybug's yo-yo and White Loup's amulet as they hummed thoughtfully. "We don't know what happened to Bunnix, but we're at least thankful that Ladybug, White Loup, and Chat Noir showed up to save the day," Nadja says gratefully, but then the video was shut off by Duncan as he and Alya turned towards Nino with big smirks on their faces.

"Nino, what we have to say might shock you, but we think me might have figured out Ladybug and White Loup's secret identity!" Alya says excitedly before looking around warily as she then leans into Nino's ear. "Chloe is Ladybug, and White Loup is Katherine," Alya says as Nino blinked at her in disbelief and turned to look at Duncan, who shrugged at him as Nino blinks again and began laughing loudly as he slapped his knees.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha! Chloe? Seriously? She's too self-absorbed to think of anyone but herself, much less save the world." Nino says as Alya glared at him in annoyance and blushed in embarrassment at being laughed at as she crossed her arms and looks away with a huff. "Also, need I remind you that White Loup is a boy, not a girl. How in the heck that Katherine could be White Loup? You are cray-cray, lady!"

"I am so not! You'll see! Come on, Duncan." Alya says while standing up as Duncan did the same, and the duo walked off as the young teenager turned over to Alya.

"You know, even though I saw Chloe and Katherine holding onto Ladybug's yo-yo and White Loup's amulet, I still find it hard to believe that they're superheroes. I mean, Nino's right. How can Chloe be Ladybug when she's literally the meanest girl in school? Plus, Chloe has blonde hair while Ladybug has black hair with blue highlights." Duncan says as Alya waves her hand around and scoffs.

"Oh, please, Chloe might seem evil, but she's most likely covering up her true heroic personality so that no one will figure out that she's Ladybug. Classic superhero misdirection. And as for her hair, Chloe probably wears a wig to hide her secret identity better." Alya says as Duncan opens his mouth to speak up before shutting up as he realized that what she said does sound admittedly reasonable, but the young teen still had a confused look on his face as he turned over to Alya with his hands placed inside of his pockets.

"Okay, you got me there, but what about Katherine? How can she be White Loup when White Loup's a dude and has white hair?"

"Well, are we sure that White Loup's a boy? I mean, I was close to him at one point, but he did sound kind of feminine when I first met up with him. Plus, White Loup doesn't have enough muscle like Chat Noir and is quite skinny, so White Loup could be a girl disguising herself as a man and using a voice modulator to disguise her voice." Alya explains as Duncan stared at her in shock, surprised that she was able to deduce all of this in a couple of minutes as Alya smirks at his reaction. "I read and watched a lot of superhero comics and movies when I was young," Alya says as Duncan nodded. "Anyway, since school is almost over, why don't we go and check on Alix? We can deal with the whole Ladybug and White Loup thing tomorrow."

"I'm cool with that, but first, let's make sure that Marinette gets her homework first,"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot," Alya says sheepishly as Duncan chuckled, and the duo began making their way towards Marinette's house before making their way to Alix's apartment building to check up on their sick friend.

Thirty minutes later, we see Ladybug jumping above the ceilings of Paris with the skill of a pro athlete and the speed of a jaguar as Marinette pulls out her yo-yo and spins it around rapidly as she then throws it towards the ledge of a nearby tall building and began swinging across the city like a certain web-swinging superhero as Ladybug swung across the city for a few minutes before reaching her home as Marinette swung behind a large pillar and landed on the ground as Ladybug looks around warily before transforming back into her civilian form with a flash of red light as Marinette popped her head out and looks around as she smiles slightly and placed her hands on her pockets as the bakery girl began walking towards her house while whistling innocently as Tiki popped her out of Marinette's purse.

"Time sure does fly fast when you're saving the world. The day's already over!" Tiki stated cheerfully, but Marinette didn't share the same enthusiasm as she sighed sadly.

"Tell me about it. I missed an entire half-day of school AND half-day of seeing Adrien!" Marinette complained with a cute pout as she crossed her arms.

"Whoever's behind all of this sure is keeping us on our toes!" Tiki says while floating a bit as she played around with her tiny feet.

"He, he, you don't have any toes!" Marinette says while giggling a bit as she entered her family's bakery and saw her mother standing by the counter as Sabine smiled at her warmly.

"Hey, sweetie, Alya brought your school bag home for you," Sabine says while holding out her school bag as Marinette groggily walks over to her and grabs her school bag as Sabine gave her daughter a small, concerned look. "You seem to be quite forgetful these days, sweetheart. Maybe you just need some fresh air and extra exercise for that growing brain of yours!" Sabine says as Marinette smiled at her mother tiredly and hugs her a bit as she kisses her cheek.

"That sounds like a good idea, Mom. I'll start tomorrow." Marinette says as Sabine kisses her back, and Marinette lets go of her mother as she began walking upstairs.

"By the way, sweetie, do you where you're brother is? He's supposed to be here an hour ago." Sabine says as Marinette turns to her mother tiredly.

"Oh, Douglass is at Alix's house because she got the cold and is looking after her while her family is gone for the day, he should be back home in half an hour or so." Marinette says as Sabine nodded and went back to her work while Marinette walked upstairs. Meanwhile, elsewhere, we see a panting White Loup leaping across rooftops as he slowly made his way over to Alix's apartment, and once he gets close to it, Douglas grunted loudly as he made one huge leap over to Alix's open bedroom window and landed inside her room as White Loup landed onto the ground in a crouch superhero pose before looking up as he had a smirk on his face.

"Lupus! Howl Out!" White Loup shouted as he slowly transformed back into his civilian form and a tired-looking Lupus flew out of Douglass's Amulet as he landed onto his stretched-out hands with a small moan.

"Ugh, so weak. So hungry." Lupus complained as Douglass rolled his eyes amusedly.

"Don't be overdramatic, Lupus, I just fed you fifteen minutes ago," Douglass says.

"But Douglasssssssss! I'm so hunnnnnnnngrrrrrrrryyyyyy!" Lupus whined loudly while floating up to him as he grabbed Douglass by his shirt.

"Alright, alright, I will feed you later. Just let me check on Alix a little bit. We have been gone for a little while longer, than I wanted to do thanks to that Akuma attack." Douglass says while turning over to stare at a sleeping Alix worriedly as the young pink-haired teen was sleeping on her bed and had a damp towel on her head as Alix wore her pajamas, which consist of a long-sleeved green hoodie, gray shorts, and green bunny slippers.

"Ugh, alright, I will just try to find my own food. Go and check out on your girl." Lupus says while flying off towards Alix's kitchen, knowing that it was safe for him to fly around due to Alix's family not being around as Douglass watched him go with a glare and a blush.

"She's not my-"

"Douglass! I'm glad that you came back!" Fluff says while flying out of the side of Alix's bed as she flew over to him. "How was the Akuma attack?" Fluff asked curiously as Douglass shrugged.

"Eh, it was relatively easy, all things consider, but it took forever to defeat him, so that's why it took me a while to come back," Douglass explains as Fluff nodded, and Douglass walks over to a sleeping Alix as he bends down to inspect her and noticed that her face looked a little green with her cheeks blushing red as she was breathing heavily. "How's Alix been doing while I was gone."

"Oh, well..." Fluff trails off while flying over to her partner as she laid on the pillow next to Alix's head as Fluff patted her cheek affectionately. "After Marinette called you about the Akuma attack and you left, Alix took her medicine and has been resting for a little while now. Alix still looks and feels a little sick, but she's getting a little bit better." Fluff explains as Alix moans at feeling her Kwami's little pats and tiredly opens her eyes as she blinks confusedly at the sight of her best friend.

"D-Douggy?" Alix asked with her voice sounding sickeningly and raspy as Douglass smiled at her a bit and sat on her bed as he waved at his friend.

"Hey, Alix, how are you feeling?" Douglass asked as Alix gave him a deadpan look.

"I feel like shit," Alix says as Douglass laughed a bit by her bluntness, but his laughter dies down as he saw Alix beginning to cough mildly. "Ugh, my throat hurts, my head is throbbing, and I swear that if I sneeze one more time, I'm going to scream," Alix complained as her face then suddenly scrunched up and lets out a rather cute-sounding sneeze that Douglas couldn't help but find adorable. "Ugh!" Alix shouted in frustration while grabbing onto her pillow as she placed it on her face and lets out a loud, muffled scream. "God, I hate being sick!" Alix shouted while tossing her pillow away as she growled in irritation. "I'm forced to being cooped up in my room, feeling like crap, and I can't go out to play with my skateboard or even fight crime with my team! Ugh, being sick sucks!" Alix whined while punching her pillow in frustration as Douglass and Fluff gave her sympathetic looks.

"Ah, Alix, I know how you feel. Being sick and cooped up in your room for several days is not fun, but don't you worry, sooner or later, you will start feeling better in no time." Douglass says reassuringly as Alix calmed down and smiled up at her friend lightly, feeling a little cheered up by what he said as Douglass grinned at her cheekily. "Especially after I make you my Mom's famous chicken soup," Douglass says while standing up as he began making his way out of her room. "It always makes Marinette and I feel better whenever we get sick."

"Mmm, that sounds lovely. Thanks, Dougy." Alix says while resting on her bed as Douglass smiled at her.

"Anytime, Alix," Douglass says as he was about to go towards Alix's kitchen and make her some chicken soup, but stopped as Lupus suddenly appeared while carrying a small piece of raw steak as he nibbled on it.

"Hey, Douglass. A couple of your friends showed up, and they're standing by the door." Lupus says lazily while still eating his steak as Douglass raised an eyebrow.

"Really? Who?" He asked as Lupus shrugged.

"I don't know any of your friend's names yet." Lupus answers bluntly as Douglass gave him a deadpan look.

"Oh, it's Alya and Duncan." Fluff answered while still resting by Alix's side as the teenagers turned towards her with surprised looks on their faces.

"How do you know?" Douglass asked as Fluff giggled.

"Being the Kwami of time can give you some advantages like getting brief visions of the near future, he, he, he."

"Whoa, wait, hold up. You can see into the future? That sounds so awesome!" Alix says while coughing a bit from her excited scream as Douglass nodded in agreement while a bored Lupus simply rolled his eyes and continued eating his steak as he flew towards Alix's cabinet.

"He, he, yeah, it's really cool, but I can only get brief visions of the future at random periods of time, and I really can't control what I see as well," Fluff explains as the kids slouched in disappointment by what she says.

"Aww, that sucks," Douglass says as Fluff shrugs.

"Yeah, it does, but hey, at least Alix will be able to use my future vision powers and control it better when she transforms," Fluff says as the teens nodded obviously.

"Yeah...wait, I can see into the future too!?" Alix shouted in shock before coughing loudly as Douglass and Fluff were quick to rush over to pat her back in comfort.

"Uh, how about we deal with the whole, 'Seeing into the future', thing after you get better," Douglass says with the girls nodding in agreement as Douglass then turns around to walk out of the room, and Fluff stayed behind as she flew over to hide with Lupus, who was hiding behind one of Alix's family photos as the pink-haired girl continued resting on her bed. Walking through the halls, Douglass made his way to the front door as he looked through the peephole and smiles at what he sees as Douglass quickly opened up all of the locks before opening the door as he saw a smiling Alya and Duncan standing in front of them. "Oh, hey, guys, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, we came here to check on how poor Alix is doing," Alya answered with Duncan nodded in agreement as Douglass smiled a bit and let them into Alix's apartment as the duo made their way inside. "Duncan told me that she was sick right?" Alya asked curiously as Douglass nodded.

"Yep, Alix caught the cold last night. Not sure how, though." Douglass says with a shrug as Alya and Duncan nodded, believing him as they didn't notice Douglass looking away guiltily and sweatdrops a bit as the young teen may know how Alix got sick, and it may have been all his fault as Douglass had dared Alix to do a superhero rooftop race last night...while it was raining...and Alix may have accidentally fallen into a pool of cool water...

"Also, Miss Bustier wanted us to deliver yours and Alix's homework," Duncan says while handing Douglass his and Alix's homework as the young Miraculous User quickly grabbed them and placed them on the couch. "So, how's Alix doing anyway?"

"Oh, pretty good. Alix's feeling a little bit better from this morning." Douglass answered.

"Can we check up on her?" Alya asked hopefully as Douglass nodded with a smile.

"Sure, I was going to make her my Mom's famous chicken soup to help with her cold, but you can go in without me."

"Cool," Duncan says as Douglass nodded and walked over to the kitchen while Alya and Duncan made their way towards Alix's bedroom with Duncan leading the way as he opened the door, and the teens saw a sick-looking Alix resting on her bed as she smiled at them tiredly.

"Heeeeeeeeeey, guys," Alix says while waving at her friends weakly as Alya and Duncan walk over to them.

"Hey, Alix. You look like crap." Duncan says jokingly as Alix glared at him lightly, and Alya elbows him as she gave him an unamused glare.

"What he means is, how are you feeling, girl?" Alya asked Alix as the pink-haired girl shrugged.

"Eh, I'm hanging in there," Alix says as Alya and Duncan gave her unconvinced looks as Alix sighs loudly and leans against her bed as she coughed a bit. "Alright, I will feel terrible, but Douglass has been taking good care of me, so I'm slowly getting better."

"Well, that's good to hear," Alya says with Duncan nodding agreement as the trio began having a small conversation with each other about how each other respective days went as, after a few minutes of talking, Douglass suddenly comes in while holding a small tray that held a small bowl of hot, steaming chicken soup and walked over to Alix as Douglass held out the tray to her.

"Here you go, Alix. This should help you feel better." Douglass says while placing the tray in her lap as Alix smiled up at him appreciatingly.

"Thanks, Douggy," Alix says while beginning to drink her soup as Alya and Duncan gave Douglass sly looks, and the young teen blushed in embarrassment of having Alix calling him by his childhood nickname in front of their friends as Douglass gave his friends a sheepish shrug and Duncan chuckled while Alya rolled her eyes in amusement, but then a curious look appeared on her face as she turned over to Douglass.

"Hey, Douglass, by the way, have you heard from Marinette lately? She's been awol for quite a while now, and she's not receiving my calls or messages," Alya says, a little miffed that her friend has been ghosting her for nearly half a day as Douglass froze a bit before composing himself as he leans against a wall casually.

"Oh, yeah, um...Marinette had called me earlier and told me that she had to skip school to...run a couple of errands?" Douglass says, although it sounded more like a question, as Alya and Duncan eyed him confusedly.

"Errands?" Duncan asked as Douglass nodded weakly.

"Yep...errands...from our parents...and she also told me that her phone battery was running out and she left her charger at home, so that's why Marinette didn't call you back." Douglass lied horribly while laughing nervously as Alya and Duncan eyed him suspiciously...before shrugging as they nodded.

"Oh, that sounds like a reasonable excuse," Alya says with Duncan mumbling agreement as Douglass mentally sighs in relief that his friends believed his lie while Alix ignored their conversation as she continued eagerly eating Douglass's soup. "It's just that I really wanted to talk to her about something that Duncan and I found out earlier today," Alya says as Douglass tilted his head at his friends curiously.

"What is it?" Douglass asked as Alya flinched and turned over to Duncan with an unsure look on her face, not knowing whether or not to tell Douglass and Alix their secret as Duncan nodded at her seriously, and Alya nodded back as she turned towards the young teenagers with a big grin on her face.

"Alright, prepare yourself, but we may have found out the secret identities of two Miraculous Members," Alya says with a sneaky grin on her face as Douglass and Alix's eyes widen in shock/worry, the same with their Kwamis as Douglass and Alix shared a concerned look, but didn't say anything as they waited to what their friends were going to say.

"Yeah, this may surprise you, but we have figured out that Ladybug and White Loup are...Chloe and Katherine Bourgeois!"

"WHAT!?" Douglass asked in pure shock as Alix was so surprised by what he said that she did a spit-take with her soup and accidentally spits all over an unamused Alya as she gave her a deadpan look.

"Really?" Alya asked blankly while using Alix's sheets to wipe away Alix's spit soup from her face as Alix ignored what she said and looked up at her and Duncan in shock/disbelief as Douglass did the same.

"P-Please, tell me that you're joking, Alya. You can't be serious." Alix says while rubbing her head to make sure that her mind wasn't playing tricks on her due to her sickness.

"Yeah, I don't know what kind of fantasy you're living, but how in the hell do you think that Chloe and Katherine, of all people, are Ladybug and White Loup!? That doesn't even make sense! Chloe's a spoiled, bratty, selfish, evil bitch!" Douglass shouted as Alix nodded in agreement.

"Yeah! And Katherine is an annoying, vain, pompous, slimeball of a human being!"

"THERE'S NO WAY THAT CHLOE/KATHERINE'S LADYBUG/WHITE LOUP!" Douglass and Alix shouted in unison as Alya and Duncan winced at their yell and held out their hands as they tried to calm down their overreacting friends.

"Guys, guys, we don't know for sure that Chloe and Katherine are Ladybug and White Loup, but we do have some evidence that would suggest that they are superheroes," Duncan says as Alya nodded eagerly.

"Yeah, back at school when we were trying to look for Marinette, we saw Chloe and Katherine whispering to each other suspiciously near the lockers, and we saw them pull out Ladybug's yo-yo and White Loup's Amulet respectively, so that leads me to believe that they are superheroes!" Alya exclaimed as Douglass and Alix stared at her in disbelief.

"Okay, Alya, just because you and Duncan saw them pull out a couple of items that the Miracu-League Members uses/wears doesn't automatically means that they are Ladybug and White Loup," Alix stated while giving her a 'You are crazy to think that those selfish bitches are superheroes' as Alya smirked at her smugly.

"Maybe, but, you have to admit, it does look suspicious that they grabbed Ladybug and White Loup's accessories out of their lockers and frantically running out of the school just as an Akuma attack appeared. Also, I noticed that Ladybug and White Loup seemed to always show up together whenever an Akuma or a crime appears, which lead me to believe that they know each other secret identities, and I noticed that they seemed to be quite close, not in a romantic kind of way, but more of a family kind of way as this makes believe that they're siblings. And you know who else are siblings? Chloe and Katherine. Coincidence? I think not." Alya says while crossing her arms arrogantly as Douglass and Alix stared at her wide-eyed, surprised that she was able to figure out that Ladybug and White Loup are siblings as they gave each other worried looks.

"O-Okay, maybe that does sound reasonable, but what about White Loup? I don't think you noticed, but White Loup is a boy, not a girl. How can Katherine be White Loup?"

"Oh, Alya thinks that Katherine is disguising her gender, voice, and appearance to hide her secret identity better," Duncan says, answering his friend's question as Douglass and Alix turned towards Duncan curiously. "Also, Alya notices that White Loup doesn't seem to be as muscular as Chat Noir and has quite a scrawny, weak built, so that furthered Alya's theory that White Loup is really a girl," Duncan says as Douglass's eye twitch at what he says in annoyance and felt himself blush in embarrassment as he heard Alix stifling her giggles. "Anyway, personally, I don't know if what we saw was true or not, but Alya and I are going to investigate this further tomorrow," Duncan says before noticing what time it was as his eyes widen a bit. "Whoa, it's getting kind of late. I better leave before my Dad's gets angry at me."

"Yeah, I better leave too. Get well soon, Alix." Alya says with Duncan saying the same thing as they began filing out of Alix's room. "And Douglass! Tell your sister to call me later!" "And Douglass? Tell your sister to call me later!" Alya shouted from the hallway before hearing the door opening and closing as Douglass and Alix figured that they had left as they slowly turned to each other, and Alix's mouth began raising upwards as she snorted.

"Alix, no," Douglass says with a groan as Alix tried to stifle her giggles but couldn't hold it in anymore as she began laughing.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, oh my god! Alya and Duncan think that you're a girl! Priceless!" Alix yelled while doubling over in laughter as Douglass glared at her fiercely with a mild blush on his face and blushed harder as he heard their Kwamis laugh as well.

"Ha, ha! You're friends think that you're a girl!" Lupus shouted with a playful wolfish grin on his face as he pointed at his Miraculous User and laughed immaturely as Douglass gave him the death stare.

"He, he, that's so funny!" Fluff says while wiping away her tears of laughter as she then gained a more serious look on her face. "But on a more serious note, I'm happy that they haven't figured out Douglass and Marinette's secret identity," Fluff says as Alix, Lupus and a reluctant Douglass nodded in agreement as he sighs in annoyance.

"Yeah, as much as I don't want to be mistaken as a girl, I'm at least happy that she doesn't suspect that I'm White Loup...yet," Douglass says while rubbing his arm nervously as Alix eyed him confusedly.

"So, what? Are we just going to let them believe that Chloe and Katherine are Ladybug and White Loup when we all know that's not remotely true?"

"Well, we can't exactly reveal our secret identities at them, nor can we tell them that their suspicions are wrong, or else they will start asking questions, so for now, I think its best that we let them believe what they want to believe, but we will deal with this problem later on before things went out of control," Douglass says as Alix sighs but nodded with Fluff and Lupus doing the same as they then heard Alix's phone vibrate a bit, and the pink-haired girl quickly picks up her phone as Alix saw that she had received a text message from her Dad.

"Oh, good news, my Dad is done for the day and is driving back home. He should be back in 10 minutes." Alix says while putting away her phone as Douglass nodded and then glanced up at the clock as he winced a bit.

"Oh, and good timing too because I just now realized how late it is. I really need to go home before Mom freaks out. See you tomorrow, Alix." Douglass says as he and Lupus made their way over to Alix's bedroom window as Alix and Fluff watched them go with little smiles on their faces.

"See you later, Douglass...or should I call you, 'Dolores', now?" Alix asked teasingly as she and Fluff giggled a bit with Lupus chuckling under his breath as Douglass glared at them.

"You guys are never going to live this down, huh?"

"Nope." Alix, Fluff, and Lupus said with big smiles on their faces as Douglass stared at them, deadpan before rolling his eyes as he opened Alix's bedroom window and took a couple of steps back as he took a deep breath.

"Lupus! Howl On!" Douglass shouted as a laughing Lupus was quickly sucked into Douglass's White Wolf Amulet and transformed into White Loup as he grunted and leaped out of Alix's room through her window as he began jumping in between rooftops to reach his home.

After a few minutes of doing some epic parkour across the rooftops of several houses, we see White Loup approaching his home as he crouched down on a roof of a nearby house and grunted as he leaped up and landed on the side of his house as White Loup used his claws to stick onto the wall and began scaling up his house as he arrived at his roof and did a backwards front flip onto the skylight door as White Loup fell through and landed on Marinette's empty bed as he then did a backflip and gracefully landed on the floor of his and Marinette's shared room as Douglass looked up with a big grin on his face.

"Lupus! Howl Out!" White Loup shouted as he transformed back into his civilian form and a tired-looking Lupus flew out of Douglass's Amulet as he landed onto his stretched-out hands with a small moan and was about whine about how hungry he was, but Douglass shuts him up by giving him a small piece of steak that he took from Alix's kitchen as Lupus smiles excitedly and grabbed the tiny steak as he flew off to eat it in peace.

"Douglass! You're back!" A panicking Tiki shouted while flying into the room as Douglass smiled up at her.

"Oh, hey, Tiki. What's up?" Douglass asked casually as Tiki gave him a worried look.

"Not good, Douglass. We have a serious problem here."

"Tiki, please calm down. This isn't that much of a big deal," Marinette says while walking into the room on her PJ's as Tiki whirled around to give her a stern look.

"Not a big deal? Not a big deal!? You think this is not a big deal!?" Tiki asked while pulling out a sticky note as Douglass raises an eyebrow at it and began reading it as it says, 'Call me. I know who's the real Ladybug and White Loup'. "Alya was the one who hands over Marinette's book bag earlier, so she must've been the one to make this sticky note, which also means that she knows that you two are Ladybug and White Loup!" Tiki shouted panickedly as Marinette rolled her eyes a bit.

"Tiki, relax, Alya's always jumping to conclusions before she has her facts straight," Marinette says as Douglass nodded.

"Yeah, and besides, I talked with Alya and Duncan earlier the day when they came over to visit Alix, and, thankfully, they don't suspect that we're Ladybug and White Loup."

"Oh, that's a relief," Tiki says with Marinette nodding in agreement as she then gave her brother a curious look.

"Who do Alya and Duncan think that Ladybug and White Loup are, anyway?" Marinette says as Douglas smirks at her.

"Get this, they think that Chloe is Ladybug and Katherine is White Loup."

"WHAT!?" Marinette and Tiki asked in shock as Lupus flew in and smirks slightly at their reactions as he nodded.

"Yep, it's true. Douglass's idiot friends think that blondies are you guys. It's hilarious." Lupus says while resting on Douglass's shoulder as a stunned Marinette placed her hands on her head and sighed heavily as she shakes her head.

"I can't believe that they would think that you and I are Chloe and Katherine. I mean, Chloe may be...well, Chloe, but at least it makes more or less sense that she would think that Ladybug is her since we're more or less the same size and stature, but why would they think that you're Katherine? I mean, White Loup is clearly a boy." Marinette says, confused as hell on why would they conclude that Katherine is White Loup as Lupus smirks mischievously.

"He, he, get this, they think Katherine is disguising herself as a boy because White Loup, or should I say, Douglass, is so scrawny and lack of muscles make him resemble a girl." Lupus says as Tiki and Marinette blinks at what he says...before laughing loudly as Douglass glared at them.

"Ha, ha, very funny, laugh it up," Douglass says while crossing his arms as the girls continued laughing.

"Ha, ha, I'm sorry, Douglass, but this is just too good! I can't believe they will mistake you as a girl." Marinette says while calming down a bit as she looks him over and hums as she began inspecting his body. "But now they mention it, you are a bit scrawny for your age. You really need to think of doing some exercise to bulk up a bit." Marinette says with her joking tone disappearing as a more worried one appeared.

"Yeah, and you need to get some meat on you." Lupus says while flying over to Douglass as he began tapping his non-existent muscles.

"True, you really need to work on your body more, Douglass. I have known Miraculous Users that were way muscular than you...and some of them were girls." Tiki says while inspecting his body as an annoyed Douglass shoves them away.

"Alright! Alright! I will bulk up! I will exercise! I will eat more meat! Whatever! How are we going to deal with Alya and Duncan?" Douglass asked as Marinette waves her hand around carelessly.

"Don't worry, Douglass, I got it covered," Marinette says while pulling out her phone as she began trying to call her best friend but received no signal as Marinette raises an eyebrow. "Huh, weird, no signal," Marinette says as she and Douglass go up to the balcony to see if there's any signal for Marinette to use to call Alya, but blinked in surprise as they saw a man working on the cell tower.

"Hey, kids, no signal, right?" The man asked with them nodding in agreement as he gave them a sheepish look. "Yeah, sorry about that, but your cell tower is momentarily down. The same with the whole neighborhood. No signal for the rest of the night." The man explained as Marinette and Douglass nodded and went back down into their room as Tiki and Lupus flew in.

"Come on, guys. We'll try again tomorrow. Let's head down and finish your homework." Tiki says as Marinette and Douglass nodded.

"Yeah, let's do our home-Oh, shit!" Douglass suddenly shouted as everyone turned to him and saw him gripping his hair in annoyance/frustration as he groaned. "I left my homework back at Alix's place!" Douglass yelled as Marinette giggled.

"Well, you better go and get it back because our homework is due tomorrow," Marinette says as Douglas sighed heavily but nodded as he and Lupus reluctantly ran/flew out of the room to transform outside and make his way back into Alix's apartment as Marinette stayed behind to do her homework as Tiki helped her out.

---

The next day, we cue at Collége Françoise Dupont, where we see a huge, white limo rolling up to the school as everyone turned to the limo curiously before turning away disinterestedly as Sabrina appeared and ran over to the limo as she opened it, and a smiling Chloe and a bored Katherine got out of the fancy vehicle as they greeted all of the students around them.

"Hey there! Hi! You look totally fab! Uh, no, not you. Hey, it's still a month from Halloween, you know?" Chloe both complimented and insulted around her as Katherine rolled her eyes and gave the angry people around her a sheepish look as they entered the school, not noticing that Alya, Duncan, and Nino were spying on them from the bushes as all of them wore tree-styled hats.

"Were the hats really necessary?" Nino asked, annoyed at having to wear a green hat with some leaves planted onto it as Alya and Duncan turned to him with a nod.

"Yep, now, keep quiet. We can't afford for the Bourgeois Sisters to spot us." Alya says as she and Duncan turned back to spy on the blonde-haired, spoiled sisters as Nino shakes his head and scoffs.

"You two really need to have your heads examined if you still think that Chloe and Katherine are Ladybug and White Loup. If they're superheroes, then I'm the Wizard of Oz, and you two are Dorothy and the Scarecrow." Nino says sarcastically as Alya gave him a blank look while Duncan.

"Aww, why do I have to be Scarecrow? Why can't I be the Tin Man and you be the Scarecrow?" Duncan asked as Nino frowned.

"What? No, I'm not stupid like the Scarecrow, and I have a big heart like the Tin Man, so obviously, I have to be the Tin Man, and you have to be the Scarecrow." Nino says as Duncan narrowed his eyes at him.

"Wait, are you saying that I'm dumb?"

"Whaaaaaaat? Nooooooo." Nino says while looking away with a little grin on his face as Duncan glared at him and was about to speak up, but was cut off by an annoyed Alya.

"Boys, cool it! We're on a mission here, and Nino? Duncan and I will prove that Chloe and Katherine really are Ladybug and White Loup! You'll see!" Alya shouted determinedly with Duncan nodding in agreement as Nino rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"Well, until you two can prove it, I won't believe you," Nino says as Alya and Duncan sighs heavily...before getting an idea as they smirked at each other knowingly and turned back to Nino.

"Fine, if you want proof, then the proof is what you're going to get," Alya says as she and Duncan grabbed onto a surprised Nino and began leading him towards the school. Meanwhile, elsewhere, we cue to the Dupain-Cheng Residence, where we see Marinette and Tiki sleeping soundly on Marinette's desk with a snoring Douglass and Lupus sleeping beside them on Douglass's bean bag chair as he had his homework lying on his lap. Anyway, after we see the group sleeping for a couple of minutes, Douglass and the others started stirring in their sleep as they moaned and opened their eyes as they started slowly waking up.

"Ugh, what time is it, kids?" Tiki asked as Douglass groaned and stood up from his bean bag chair as he yawned.

"Don't know. I don't have a watch, and my phone is out of charge. What time is it, Mari?" Douglass asked his older sister tiredly as the heroine yawned loudly and slowly sat up as she rubbed her eyes.

"Got it, I'll check the time," Marinette says as she grabs her phone and lazily turns it on as she checked the time. "Alright, Douglass, it's exactly 9:45 am."

"Cool, good to know...wait, 9:45 am?! Shit! I was supposed to be at Alix's house an hour ago! Lupus! Howl On!" Douglass shouted as a groaning Lupus flew into his amulet, and Douglass transformed into White Loup.

"Oh, crap! I'm missing class...again! Tiki! Spots on!" Marinette yelled as a tired Tiki flew into one of her earrings and transformed onto Ladybug as she and her brother then proceeds to make their out of their house before separating in opposite directions as Ladybug began using her yo-yo to swing across Paris and headed straight towards her school while White Loup started leaping across the rooftops as he rushed towards Alix's house at top speed.

"Okay, Nino, there are the girls," Duncan whispers as he, Alya, and Nino were standing around in the Locker Room and were watching the Burgeois Sisters taking stuff out of their locker with Chloe talking to her sister about wanting to change her outfit to something more stylish as Katherine half-listen/half-ignores her.

"Remember the plan, and don't mess up your lines!" Alya half-whispers/half-yells as she pushes a surprised Nino over to Chloe and Katherine's lockers as he crashed against it and fumbles a bit before recovering as he stood up and saw the Burgeois Sisters staring at him oddly and in mild annoyance as Nino smiled at them awkwardly and leans against the set of lockers.

"Oh...hey, girls...uhhh...look! It's Ladybug and White Loup!" Nino yelled while pointing ahead as an excited Chloe and Katherine turned around to spot their favorite heroes, only to be disappointed to see nothing as they turned around to glare at the nervous DJ.

"Ha, ha, very funny prank, Lilo. Did that stupid Alix put you up to this?" Katherine asked as she and Chloe continued taking their stuff out of their lockers as Nino stared at the little girl with a deadpan look.

"First off, my name is Nino, and second, no, she didn't. I haven't even talked to her since she's at homesick." Nino says as Katherine smiled gleefully.

"Yes, isn't great? Two days without that annoying Alix around to bother me. Ah, I hope that she stays sick forever." Katherine says as Nino stares at her warily.

"That's a very messed up thing to say, girl," Nino says as Katherine shrugged, and the young teen rolled his eyes as he continued talking. "Anyway, did you see the Miracu-League defeating that Akuma yesterday? Aren't they amazing? I wonder who they really are. More specifically, I wonder who Ladybug and White Loup are." Nino says while eyeing them suspiciously as Chloe and Katherine stared at him confusedly, not noticing that Alya and Duncan were sneaking past them as they took out their phones and were taking individual pictures of the Bourgeois Sisters lockers.

"Uhh...up too late DJ-inng, Nino? Obviously, you didn't get your beauty sleep." Chloe insulted as Nino glared at her but didn't say anything as he subtly looked to where Alya and Duncan was standing as he saw them finishing taking photos, and they gave him a thumbs-up as Nino nodded and turns around to leave as Alya and Duncan were about to do the same, but then-

"Uh, Chloe! Katherine! Alya and Duncan are taking pictures of your lockers!" Sabrina yelled while appearing from the doorway of the Locker Room as she had spotted Alya and Duncan taking pics of her boss-I mean, her 'friend' and her sister's lockers.

"What?" Katherine asked both confusedly and in anger as she and her sister turned to glare at Alya and Duncan, who froze in fear/shock as they glanced at each other warily.

"Uhh...whaaaaaaaaat? Nooooo, that's crazy!" Duncan says while looking around anxiously as Alya nodded nervously.

"Yeah! That's a lie!" Alya yelled, but the Burgeois Sisters weren't convinced by what they said whatsoever as they narrowed their eyes at them suspiciously and walked over to snatched their phones from out of their grasp as Chloe and Katherine saw the photos of their lockers on their phones and looked up to glare at a nervous Alya and Duncan as they glared at them.

"Who's the little liar now?" Chloe asked smugly as they smiled at her sheepishly, but then Duncan yelped as Katherine grabbed him by his ear and started pulling him towards the Principal Office as Chloe did the same by placing her manicured hands on Alya's arm as she started dragging her along as well.

"They're guilty of invasion of privacy!" Chloe shouted angrily while pointing at a shocked Alya and Duncan as they were all sitting in the Principal's Office as said principal sat in front of them at his desk with a calm look on his face.

The principal is a 44-year-old man with amber eyes, a bald head with large bushy black eyebrows, gray sideburns, a gray/white beard/mustache, a large nose, a stout built, Caucasian skin, and his outfit consists of a brown dress jacket with a white-collard shirt underneath, a light chestnut brown necktie, dark vermilion, almost dark greyish-brown/dark grayish-tangelo dress pants, and grayish tangelo loafers with white strips above the tips of his toes. His name is Doris Damocles, the principal of the Miracu-League's school and a huge superhero fan.

"Yeah! And we have proof!" Katherine yelled while slamming Alya and Duncan's phone onto their principal's desk as they show a couple of photos of the Burgeois Sisters taking their stuff out from their respective lockers.

"What?! Seriously! All we did was take a couple of measly photos!" Alya says with Duncan nodding in agreement as Katherine scoffed at this and rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms.

"Uh, newsflash! That's still an invasion of privacy, geniuses! You can't just take photos of our lockers without permission! What if we had embarrassing items in there, and you decided to exploit it for your sick enjoyment!? Didn't think of that, huh?!" Katherine asked/yelled, causing them to shrink back nervously, but then calmed down as Mr. Damocles spoke up.

"I'm sorry, girls, but there's no school policy on students not being allowed to take pictures of other student's lockers." Mr. Damocles stated as Alya and Duncan smirked and shared a high five before flinching as they saw Katherine glaring at them. "But given by what little Miss Bourgeois said earlier, I now realized that what Alya and Duncan were wrong, so I will give both of them one hour's worth of detention each day for roughly three days after school." Mr. Damocles said, causing the teens to gasped in anger/shock as Katherine smirked at this and stick out their tongue at them childishly as they glared at her.

"Are my ears failing me? Did I hear you're giving a miserably one hour of detention for three days to a couple of heinous criminals?!" Chloe asked while slamming her fists onto the desk angrily, startling everyone as Katherine gave her older sister a confused look.

"Uh, Chloe, what are you doing? We already won, you can cut the act-,"

"Even after these ruffians traumatized me and my poor little baby sisters by taking pictures of our lockers!? Potentially using said photos as blackmail to hurt us emotionally!?" Chloe shouted overdramatically while grabbing onto a surprised Katherine as she brought her over to hug her and fake cries as she cradles her sister's hair and glances down to stare at her face as Chloe then puts on a fierce, determined look on her face. "No! This will not stand! I will not let you villains hurt me and my little sister! Sabrina!" Chloe yelled while snapping her fingers as Sabrina obediently walked over to her like a dog and pulls out the school's rulebook.

"Mr. Damocles, the school rules clearly state that any student guilty of theft should be suspended for one full week," Sabrina says, causing everyone, including Katherine, to stare at her in shock as the principal coughs a bit before speaking up.

"Uh, yes, that's true, but they hardly stole anything." Mr. Damocles says as Katherine nodded to what he said and breaks out of her sister's hold as she turned to Chloe.

"Yeah, sis, this is really not THAT serious! We don't need to-Hmph!" Katherine says before being gagged by her sister as Chloe placed her hand over her mouth and pulls out her phone as she turned to smirk at Mr. Damocles smugly.

"Well, Mr. Damocles, I'm not sure that our father would share your point of view," Chloe says as she mockingly prepares to call her father, and Mr. Damocles panics as he sweated nervously.

"Uh, well, now, girls, let's not bother your father right now. I mean, the honorable Mayor with a minor locker situation..." Mr. Damocles says before trailing off as he saw Chloe starting to call her father. "Wait, wait, wait! What I mean is that both Alya and Duncan are suspended for a week!"

"WHAT!?" Alya and Duncan yelled in unison as they stood up from their chairs and glared at their principal, who gives them an apologetic look as Chloe smirks at this while Katherine narrowed her eyes at her older sister in annoyance.

"That's bullshit! You can't suspend us for a week just because we took two stupid photos of bitch and bitchier lockers! That's not fair!" Duncan screamed as Alya nodded with a firm look on her face as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Yeah! I'm so gonna protest this on the school blog so that everyone will see how unfair this is!" Alya yelled as a nervous Mr. Damocles glances over at Chloe, who threateningly held out her phone as he sighs heavily and gave the teens a sad, defeated look.

"The school blog is hereby suspended as well." Mr. Damocles says solemnly as Alya gasped in shock at this, and Duncan merely frowned in anger as Alya tightened her fists furiously and turned over to glare at Chloe and Katherine.

"They're not superheroes! They're super-psycho!" Alya screamed before whirling around to storm off out of the principal's office as an equally angry Duncan followed after her, and Mr. Damocles watched them go sympathetically as Chloe waves at them mockingly/playfully until yelping as she felt her sister elbowing her sides.

"What was that for?" Chloe asked while rubbing her sides as Katherine rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"You always like to complicate things for no reason, huh? And, once again, you forced us to call out to Daddy for help." Katherine says with a glare as Chloe raised an eyebrow at her sister confusedly.

"Yeah, and?" Chloe asked as Katherine sighs heavily and shakes her head as she walks out of the room, and a still confused Chloe followed after her as Mr. Damocles rubbed his head with a tired look on his face.

"Ahhh... school life, such a science experiment," Hawkmoth says while deep inside his lair as the window of the room opened up and his butterflies sprang into life as they flew around him. "A petri dish of cultivating secrets, lies, and betrayal, the thriving vivarium for my evil akumas," Hawkmoth says as the supervillain reached down to grab a butterfly and smiles down at it sinisterly as he placed his hands over the butterfly and turned it into an Akuma. "Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize them!" Hawk Moth shouted as the Akuma flies out of the window and flew across the city of Paris as it headed straight towards the Collége Françoise Dupont.

"I'm late, I'm late, I'm so, so, freaking late!" Marinette chanted loudly as she ran through the streets of Paris and arrived at the front door of her school as Marinette runs upstairs just as a couple of pissed-off Alya and Duncan stomps downstairs as they ran out of the school.

Running blindly into the streets of their fair city, the angry teenagers ran into an alleyway and stopped running as they panted heavily with Duncan laying against the wall as he angrily/sadly punches it while Alya somberly leaned her back against the wall as she slides down onto the floor and places her head on her knees as she began tearing up. After calming down a bit, both teens tried to call their respective best friends for moral/emotional support, only to groan loudly as they received their voicemails and hangs up the calls as Duncan slides down to the floor and Alya leans over to share an emotional hug with him as they cried, not noticing that an Akuma was flying over to them as it phases into their phones and covered it with evil, malicious energy as Alya and Duncan stops crying as they sit up and a pair of glowing purple butterfly symbols appeared in front of their faces as they joined together.

"Mx Wifi, I am Hawkmoth, and I heard through the grapevine that you two are seeking to unmask not only Ladybug and White Loup's secret identities, but the whole Miracu-League as well...I'd like to help you two if you all agree to help me out too," Hawkmoth said with a sinister tone in his voice as Alya and Duncan put on dark, serious looks on their faces.

"We'll be glad to help, Hawkmoth. We'll expose the lies of anyone who covers up the truth! Alya and Duncan said in unison as they stood up from the floor, and purple/black smoke began releasing from their now fused phones as it spreads across their bodies and fused them together as a loud evil laugh rang out across the sky. Meanwhile, back at school, we see Marinette warily poking her head into the classroom as she saw Miss Bustier teaching the class and, while she was distracted, the Baker Girl swiftly made her way over to seat as she sits down and sighs in relief at not being caught as Marinette turned over to ask Alya what lessons that she had missed, only to see an empty seat as Marinette blinks in surprise and looks around for her friend, but can't find her as she glances down at Nino and leans down to him as she taps his shoulder.

"Hey, Nino, do you know where Alya is?" Marinette whispered-asked Nino, who was sitting beside Adrien as the glasses-wearing teen turned over to her to explain what happened earlier in the story.

"Alya's been suspended by school, alongside Duncan,"

"WHAT!?" Marinette yelled in shock, causing everyone, including the teacher, to whirl around to give Marinette startled, concerned looks from her sudden scream as Miss Bustier gave her student a gentle yet stern look.

"Marinette, if you're going to come late, would you please do it discreetly?" Miss Bustier asked exasperatedly as Marinette smiled at her sheepishly and nodded apologetically.

"Sorry..." Marinette says as Miss Bustier nodded and returned back to her teachings as the superheroine turned back to Nino. "What happened to her?"

"The short story?" Nino asked as she nodded. "They were accused of breaking into Chloé and Katherine's locker...well, I mean, Ladybug and White Loup's locker," Nino says, causing Marinette to gasp loudly as she once again caught the class's attention and caused an annoyed Miss Bustier to whirl around to glare at her firmly as she pointed at the door.

"That's it, Marinette! Go to the principal's office!" Miss Bustier said sternly as Marinette pouted but followed her teacher's commands as she picked up her purse and walks out of the classroom.

"What are you talking about?" Adrien whispered-asked Nino, completely lost on what's going, as his friends were quick to explain what happened with their friends.

"Exactly what I said, bro. Alya and Duncan say that Chloe is Ladybug and that Katherine is White Loup! They're crazy!" Nino says, causing Adrien to stare at him in complete shock as he slowly/warily turned over to the Bourgeois Sisters and Chloe waved at him cutely with a wink while Katherine merely rolled her eyes as Adrien's eye visibly twitched at what he learned.

"Mr. Damocles?" Marinette asked tentatively while arriving at the Principal's Office as she knocked on the door and waited for him to call her in, only to receive silence as Marinette raised an eyebrow confusedly before shrugging as she opens the door and walked into the room, only to then gasped in shock as she saw her principal frozen in place with a pink/green stop icon located in front of him as Marinette quickly rushed over to see if it was okay. "What's going on here?" Marinette asked just as the computer screen lights up as it shows the image of the grinning look of Alya and Duncan's combined Akumatized form.

Alya and Duncan's combined Akumatized form consists of a tall humanoid being with no head but, weirdly enough, has a digitized long hair that was pulled up into a ponytail, a body that resembles a mix between that of Alya and Duncan, causing the Akumatized form to be genderless as it wears a very deep violet-shaped mask (Even though they logically don't need one due to not having a head or face to hide from the public, but whatever), a very dark purple skintight suit with a large light purple hooded cape that reaches down to his legs, arm-length gloves with three black stripes on each of them, a glowing light brilliant rose/green Wi-Fi symbol planted on their chest, a thin white line going around their waist with the line creating a semi-circle above a short vertical white line in the front, resembling a power button as they also wear a pair of large white boots that each have three black stripes on them. Their name is Mx Wifi.

"I'm Mx Wifi, revealer of the truth! For our first exposé, your principal would like to share a little tidbit with you." Mx Wifi says as their video was projected all across the school, including the classroom, as Adrien was shocked by what he sees. "So, Mr. Damocles, is it true you wrongly suspended a couple of students named Alya and Dereck today?" Mx Wifi asked rhetorically while moving out of the way to show a guilty-looking Mr. Damocles sitting on his chair in his office.

"Uh... yes, it is." Mr. Damocles says, feeling ashamed as Mx Wifi smirked at him, although he couldn't see it due to them not having a face, but whatever.

"So, you were biased? Unfair? Totally unjust?!" Mx Wifi yelled angrily as Mr. Damocles shrinks back by their scream and nodded fearfully/shame as he sighs heavily.

"Yes, I was." Mr. Damocles says as Marinette narrowed her eyes at the new Akumatized villain and gasped as she noticed that the fused phones that Mx. Wifi was holding had a Ladybug charm on it and had a familiar superhero case on them.

"Oh, no! Alya! Duncan! Tikki, time to transform!" Marinette yelled as Tiki flew out of her purse and gives her Wielder a soft, concerned look.

"But, Marinette, you're going to have to be forced to fight your best friend!" Tiki says worriedly as Marinette smirked and shook her head.

"Correction, I'm gonna have to save my best friend! Tiki! Spots on!" Marinette shouted as Tiki smiled and giggles as she flew into one of her earrings and transformed into Ladybug as she struck a heroic pose.

"For my next scoop, we'll be taking you to meet the girls who have been hiding behind the Ladybug and White Loup mask!" Mx Wifi says before raising their fused phone as they turned around and swipes forwards on the screen of their device as Mx Wifi sends a pink/green stop icon over at Mr. Damocles, who did not have time to react as he was frozen in place. "Stay connected!" Mx Wifi says before laughing as the screen was turned off, and Miss Bustier quickly turned to her students to give them a firm yet concerned look.

"Everyone, for your own safety, go directly home right now! And don't forget to read chapters four and five!" Miss Bustier added in quickly as the students quickly got up from their seats and ran out of the classroom, including Adrien, as the rich boy ran into the Boy's Bathroom and closed the door behind him as Plagg flew out of his jacket.

"If Chloe and Katherine really are Ladybug and White Loup like Alya said, then Mx. Wifi's gonna head straight to their house!"

"And it also means that you must have a crush on Chloe and that Kathrine hates your guts for wanting to date her sister," Plagg says teasingly as Adrien's eye twitched at what he heard and took a deep breath to calm down his nerves as he pinches the bridge of his nose.

"I don't really want to think of Chloe being Ladybug right now. And as for Katherine, well, in hindsight, I should've known that White Loup was a girl. He is a bit scrawny-looking for a boy anyway." Adrien says with Plagg nodding in agreement as the blonde-haired man raised his ringed hand."Plagg! Claws out!" Adrien shouted as Plagg flew into his ring and transformed into Chat Noir as he struck a heroic, cat-like pose.

"There you go, Alix," Douglass says soothingly while placing a hot wet towel on her head as we see both teens standing in the living room of Alix's home with the sick girl sitting on the couch as she was feeling well enough to move around and rested her head on the armrest of her couch as Douglass was helping her feel relaxed.

"Thanks, Douggy," Alix says thankfully/weakly as Douglass nodded and was about to get out of his couch to fetch the remote to watch some TV, but stopped as his phone began ringing and pulls it out from his pockets as Douglass answered it and puts it on the speaker function.

"Hello?"

"Douglass! I'm glad that I caught you! I need your help with some Miracu-League business!" Ladybug's serious voice rang out as both teens shot up in alarm.

"Got it. What's the situation, sis?"

"I will explain everything later when you group up with me. I'm about three blocks away from Alix's house. I will see you in a bit." Ladybug says before hanging up as Douglass sits up and Lupus appeared as the teen was about to transform, but stopped as he noticed that Alix was shakily getting up from the couch.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Douglass asked confusedly as Alix stood up and leans against the couch as she gave her friend a serious look.

"What does it look like, Douggy? I'm coming along." Alix says, surprising Douglass, Lupus, and Fluff as the rabbit-like Kwami flew out of her hiding spot.

"Uh, no, you're not. Need I remind you that you're sick. You can't possibly think that you're well enough to go out and fight crime with us?"

"Yes, I am. You heard what Wonderbug said earlier. Something big is going on, and I'm tagging along." Alix says as Douglass blinks before narrowing his eyes at her as he crossed his arms with a glare.

"Alix, no, you're too ill to come along on our mission. You will only get in the way and get yourself hurt. So stay here and wait for me to come back. I should be back in an hour or so."

"But Douglass-"

"Lupus! Howl on!" Douglass yelled as Lupus flew into his amulet and transformed into White Loup as the teen struck a pose before turning around to run away as White Loup approaches the door and opens it as he runs off, leaving behind an annoyed Alix as she crossed her arms with a firm glare on her face as Fluff flew over to her Wielder.

"Let me guess, you're still tagging along?" Fluff asked with a knowing look on her face as Alix rolled her eyes and gave her friend a smug smirk.

"Duh, you know that I don't like following the rules. Besides, why should I have Douggy, Wonderbug, and Hairball have all of the fun? Fluff! Clockwise!" Alix screamed while pulling out her Miraculous as Fluff grinned and chuckled as she flew into her pocket watch and transformed into Bunnix as she struck a heroic pose before coughing lightly as she groaned. "Uh, I really hate being sick," Bunnix says before shaking her head as she began running out of her apartment to follow after her friend.

Late at night, we see a smirking Chat Noir running and jumping in between rooftops as he made his way to the Le Grand Paris hotel and grunted as Adrien did a triple upward backflip onto the roof of a tall building and rolled forwards as he skids to a stop and crouched on the floor. Narrowing his eyes at the large hotel placed in front of him, Chat Noir hums lightly as he pulled out his staff and pressed the glowing pawprint symbol planted onto the staff as the blonde-haired teen turned on its camera feature and zoomed in onto one of the rooms of the hotel as Adrien's eyes widen in pure shock/horror at the sight of Chloe dressed up as Ladybug and was twirling around her yo-yo as her little sister Katherine walks into their living room while dressed up as White Loup, complete with a fake long white wig and fake ears/tail as Katherine lifted up her arms to show off the makeshift gloves claws that she created.

"No, no, this can't be!" Chat Noir exclaimed in shock and disbelief as he was trying to reassure himself that we saw inside wasn't true, but the proof was too much for him to argue as Adrien bits his lip and looks down as he began to think deeply about how to go through this situation only for a pair of familiar voices to rang out across the night.

"Who's being a sneaky, naughty kitty now?" Ladybug asked teasingly as she and White Loup suddenly appeared out of nowhere and landed in between of a shocked Chat Noir as he looks between them and a far away Chloe and Katherine in stunned silence.

"See, Ladybug? I told you this guy was a perverted creep." White Loup says playfully as Chat Noir stared at him with an annoyed eyebrow twitched. "And, apparently, he's an idiot, as well. We heard the rumors of people thinking that those girls are us, and I'm honestly surprised that you fell for that as well. I mean, come on, just look at them!" White Loup screamed while pointing over at the blonde-haired sisters as they saw Chloe twirling around her yo-yo and got herself tangled up as she yelped in surprise before falling down as they also saw Katherine making some slashing motions and twirled around as she accidentally jammed her claws onto the wall, piercing it as Katherine's eyes widen panickedly, and yelps as she struggled to pull her claws out of the wall. "The girl dressed up like my sister has blonde hair, and the girl dressed up like me is...well, a freaking girl! Come on, man! Even you can't be this dumb!" White Loup yelled exasperatedly as Chat Noir blinks a couple of times before putting on his usual playful look as he chuckled.

"Well, sorry, Bushytail, but can you honestly blame me for thinking that girl was you? I mean, you are a bit scrawny for a boy. And you're voice does sound girly." Chat Noir says as White Loup growled at him angrily like a wolf, and Adrien grinned back at him like a mischievous cat.

"Knock it off, boys." A nasally, familiar voice says as everyone looked up, and Ladybug eyes widen in surprise while White Loup narrowed his eyes in disapproval/shock at the sight of a sick Bunnix making her way towards them, not doing any fancy flips or leaps like she usually does as Alix had too much of a headache to perform a grand entrance. "Besides, only I can make fun of, White Loup," Alix added in with a smirk before coughing loudly as her teammates stared at her worriedly.

"Whoa, are you okay? Are you sick or something?" Chat Noir asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, she is." White Loup says before turning to glare at Alix sternly as he walked over to help her stand up. "Bunnix, I thought that I told you to stay at home. You're too sick to hero up." White Loup says while grabbing onto Bunnix's arm as he was about to haul her off back to her apartment, but stopped as Bunnix weakly pulled out of his grip and glared at him as Alix crossed her arms defiantly.

"No, I'm not! I-I feel fine. Besides, you guys need all of the help you need, so stop worrying about me and worry more about the mission." Bunnix says stubbornly while walking towards the ledge of the building as she sits down beside Chat Noir.

"But-"

"Look, White Loup, I don't like this as much as you do, but we don't have time to bring her back to her apartment. Mx. Wifi can be here any second now, and we have a couple of innocent...well, they're not really innocent, but you get what I mean, civilians to worry about, so let's focus on the mission for a bit, and we can bring Bunnix back to her home and scold her later." Ladybug says as White Loup frowned irritably, but sighed heavily as Douglass realized that his sister may have a point and nodded reluctantly as he and his sister went over to sit beside their teammates and sat down near the ledge, not noticing Chat Noir staring at his partners intently as he studied their body languages and notices how close they are as Adrien's eyes widen in realization before frowning subtly as Chat Noir decided to keep his mouth shut and turned his head forwards stoically as he and the rest of the Miracu-League continued spying on the Burgeois Sisters as they looked around for any sign of trouble.

"Ugh, come on, come on..." Katherine says to herself in determination as she grunted and places her feet onto the wall as the young rich girl started pulling on her claws and was able to unstick herself from the wall, but the force of her pull caused her to fall onto the ground with a small yelp as Chloe chuckled at this amusedly and Katherine looked up to glare at her older sister as she was about to yell at her, only for Chloe's phone to start ringing as the rich girl quickly untangled herself from her yo-yo and stood up as she walked over to pick her phone.

"Hello?" Chloe asked after answering the phone as she waited for the person on the other line to answer back, only to receive an awkward silence as Chloe raised an eyebrow confusedly and glances over at her phone as she was shocked to see that her communication device began emitting a pink/green glow and yelped in shock as Chloe throws it away, and the phone crashed landed onto the ground as it then projected a huge flash of pink/green light and Mx. Wifi appeared onto the scene as they smirked at the shocked sisters sinisterly.

"Well, hello there. Don't you know that you should never answer calls from strangers? I figured that you should know that on the account on being a superhero and all, but I guess that you don't seem to be as smart as you look, Ladybug!" Mx Wifi yelled as the girl's shrieks in fright at the sight of the intimidating new Akuma villain and Chloe quickly turned around as she tried to run away, but Mx Wifi easily stopped her by lifting up their phone as they fired a pink/green pause icon onto Chloe's back, causing her to gasp as she was frozen in spot.

"Chloe! No!" Katherine yelled as Mx Wifi slowly turned to her and the disguised teen yelped in fear as she tried to run away, but before she could even start to move, Mx Wifi calmly lifted up their phone as they fired another green/pink pause icon over at a shocked Katherine's chest and was frozen in place as Mx Wifi smirked cockily and projected two small green/pink camera icons above the Burgeois Sisters from their phone.

"Well, well, so our hunch was correct. Excellent." Mx Wifi says with a big excited, evil grin on their face as they walked over to the frozen sisters and casually leans against them as Mx Wifi turned on their green/pink camera icons and projected a live video of themselves onto every single video screen on Paris as Mx Wifi grinned at the cameras slyly. "Hello, everyone, Mx Wifi here, and I have something juicy to tell you all. I have finally figured out the secret identities of Ladybug and White Loup!" Mx Wifi says while reaching up to grab onto Chloe and Katherine masks as she suddenly glared at the cameras angrily. "But I have something else to say that might shock you all! Everyone thinks that Ladybug is a sweet angel under her mask and that White Loup is this brave, righteous man under his mask, but you are all wrong! Because the real Ladybug and White Loup are actually..." Mx Wifi trails off as they ripped off their masks from out of their faces before swiftly ripping off the white-haired wig from out of Katherine's head as she smirks at the cameras sinisterly. "Chloe and Katherine Bourgeois!"

"Are you sure about that, Mx Wifi?" A familiar cocky voice rang out as Mx Wifi eyes widen in shock and turned around as they saw a smirking Ladybug, White Loup, Bunnix, and Chat Noir standing beside them in battle poses as Alix's nose suddenly started twitching, and she lets out a rather cute sneeze that sounded just exactly how a baby rabbit sneezes.

"Awww." Ladybug, Chat Noir, White Loup, and even Mx Wifi gushes as Alix blushes in embarrassment and pouted.

"Can we pretend that sneeze never happened and that I was just standing next to the others like a badass?" Bunnix pleaded as Mx Wifi gives her a bemused look and places their hands on their hips as they pointed at their camera icons.

"That might be hard to do since everyone on Paris saw you sneeze like that." Mx Wifi says as Bunnix groans and hangs her head low in humiliation as White Loup patted her back to comfort her. "And also, who the heck are all of you?!" Mx Wifi asked in surprise, after spotting another Ladybug and White Loup standing near Bunnix and Chat Noir as they look between the Miracu-League and Chloe and Katherine confusedly.

"Isn't it obvious? We're the real deal, baby!" White Loup exclaimed while posing as Ladybug did the same.

"B-But I thought that they were Ladybug and White Loup!" Mx Wifi exclaimed while pointing at a still frozen Chloe and Katherine as the Miracu-League gave her very deadpanned looks.

"Well, sorry to bust your news story, but next time, double-check your facts." Chat Noir says smugly as White Loup nodded with a glare as he crossed his arms.

"Yeah, I mean, come on! How could you confuse me with a girl? I'm plenty manly!" White Loup shouted defensively as Bunnix turned over to give him a playful look.

"Yeah, you're about as manly as a puppy." Bunnix coos while coughing a bit as she lifted up her arm to ruffle his hair and an annoyed Douglass swats her arm away.

"And you are quite scrawny." Chat Noir says.

"And your voice is a little bit high pitched for a boy." Ladybug commented.

"And with that long hair and short height, you legit look like a white-haired woman." Mx Wifi added as the whole group mumbled in agreement.

"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I WILL HIT THE GYM, WORK ON MY VOICE, AND CUT MY HAIR AFTER THIS WHOLE MESS GETS SORTED OUT, ALRIGHT?! SO CAN WE PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP THIS STUPID RUNNING GAG ALREADY AND BEAT UP THE BAD GUY SO THAT WE CAN ALL GO HOME!?" White Loup exploded exasperatedly as his whole face went red in anger/embarrassment with steam pouring out of his ears as the group nodded in unison before everyone got into battle poses as Mx Wifi pulls out their phone and uses it to delete all of the pink/green icons around them, releasing the Burgois Sisters as Katherine gasped in shock and Chloe yelps in surprise as she tripes and fall onto the ground as the live feed of the battle has also been cut off. "Look, Alya, Duncan, you two are innocent, nice kids. Please stop this madness so that we can help you turn yourselves back to normal and de-evilize the Akuma powering you." White Loup says, trying to end this fight without using violence as Mx Wifi simply glared at him with a snarl.

"Alya? Duncan?" Bunnix and Chat Noir asked with surprised looks on their faces as Ladybug leans in over to them.

"I had found found out about the Akumas identity after a girl named Marinette flagged us down on our way here and told us on the identity of Mx Wifi after figuring it out herself." Ladybug says as Chat Noir nodded while Bunnix nodding to her with a knowing look on her face as the trio turned back over to the fight.

"Sorry, Miracu-League, but Alya and Duncan have been disconnected! We're Mx Wifi now! And news flash, Miracu-League, let's find out who you really all are!" Mx Wifi shouted while lifting up their phone as they fired multiple green/pink icons at them, and Bunnix reacted quickly as she pulled out her umbrella and held it in front of the group as she opened it up and was able to deflect all of the icons away from them, but lost her grip on the umbrella due to feeling a sudden wave of sickness wash over her body as Alix groans and fell down as White Loup was quick to grab onto her bridal style.

"Quick! We need to run!" White Loup shouted to Ladybug and Chat Noir, who nodded as they used their amazing agility to dodge all of Mx Wifi's attacks as they had managed to reach the exit and proceeds to run out of the room as Mx Wifi snarled at this in frustration and ran after them. "See?! I told you this would be a bad idea!" White Loup scolded Bunnix while running through the hallway of the hotel with Ladybug and Chat Noir following close after them as they were also dodging multiple attacks from above by Mx Wifi as they were firing several green/pink pauses icons at them. "I knew that you would be too sick to fight, but of course, you ignored me!" White Loup says with an annoyed look on his face as Alix smiled up at him weakly.

"Aww, stop worrying about me, Wolfy! I'm in the best shape of my life!" Bunnix exclaimed before coughing loudly as Douglass gave her a deadpan look.

"You were saying?" White Loup asked sarcastically before yelping as a green/pause icon flew past their heads and struck the wall near them as they turned around and saw Mx Wifi running after them with a determined look on their face as they lifted up their phone to continue blasting at the Miracu-League relentlessly.

"Quick, I have an idea! Follow me!" Ladybud exclaimed, quickly taking charge of the situation, as the others nodded and followed after her as Marinette had led the group towards the door of the staircase and kicked open the door with a flying roundhouse kick as they began descending the staircase.

"So, what's the plan, my lady?" Chat Noir asked while tilting his head to dodge a flying icon from hitting his face as Mx Wifi had appeared on the staircase and followed after the superheroes as they continued shooting at the costumed teens.

"They get their powers from their phone, so let's lead them to the basement, where there is no service!" Ladybug stated, informing her plan to the group as Chat Noir smirked at this.

"No service, no power. Nice one, my lady!" Chat Noir complemented with a wink as Ladybug grinned at this proudly before being forced to leap out of the way of a flying green/pink icon as she glared up at a smirking Mx Wifi.

"We've gotta go lower!" Ladybug ordered her team as they nodded, and White Loup made sure to get a good grip on a groaning Bunnix as he proceeds to jumped out of the staircase and started falling down as Douglass quickly lifted up one of his arms and unleashed his claws as he stuck them onto the wall and slowed down their descent as they made it to the bottom of the staircase and White Loup swiftly detaches himself from the fall as they fell down onto the floor and crashed landed onto it softly as Douglass made sure to take the full brunt of the landing.

"You okay?" White Loup asked Bunnix worriedly as she smiled at him reassuringly and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm alright, and also Douggy? You can put me down now. I'm feeling well enough to stand again...and also, I don't think you noticed this, but your hand is touching my butt," Bunnix says shyly with a mild blush on her face as White Loup eyes widen in shock at what she said, and looks down as Douglass was surprised to see that he had accidentally grabbed onto her ass while they were falling down from the staircase and blushes up a storm as Douglass quickly places Alix down and zipped away from her as he coughed awkwardly.

"S-Sorry." White Loup says as Bunnix shyly pushed back her hair and looked away as she waved off his apology.

"I-It's alright, Wolfy."

"Hey, what did we miss?" Chat Noir says as he and Ladybug dropped down from the staircase and stood beside the blushing teens as the lady/cat-themed superhero noticed the awkward atmosphere between White Loup and Bunnix.

"N-Nothing!" Bunnix says as she and White Loup smiled at the duo nervously as Ladybug narrowed her eyes at them before shaking her head as she glared up at the staircase.

"Get ready, guys! Mx Wifi could be here any second now!" Ladybug says while pulling out her yo-yo as she spins it around.

"On it!" White Loup exclaimed after recovering from his embarrassment from earlier as he unleashes his claws and Bunnix conjured another umbrella, due to dropping her other one upstairs, as the trio stood in battle stances.

"So, what do you do when you're not Ladybug?" Chat Noir asked Ladybug while being the only one that didn't pull out their weapon and got into a fighting stance as Marinette and the others looked shocked by his random question. "And do you and your brother live together or are separated? How are your families like? I bet they're nice people like you are, my lady." Chair Noir commented as Ladybug quickly recovered from her shock and turned to give him a stern look.

"Can't you see we're a little bit busy right now?" Ladybug asked rhetorically as White Loup nodded with a glare.

"Yeah, furball, let's play twenty questions later on." White Loup says as Adrien pouted in disappointment and nodded as they continued waiting for Mx Wifi to show up, but after a few minutes of waiting, the Miracu-League started growing restless.

"Where are they? They should've been down here by now." Ladybug says irritably as the boys nodded, and suddenly Bunnix blinks as a thought appeared on her head.

"Wait, I just realize something. Why did we come down here instead of going up to the roof?" Bunnix asked, causing the group to stare at her confusedly as Alix sees this and was quick to explain. "Do you remember what Wonderbug said earlier about Mx Wifi's power come from wifi, right? Well, why didn't we go up to the roof where the cell tower is and destroyed it so that Mx Wifi will lose its powers? I mean, going down here sounds like a good idea because Mx Wifi will lose their cell service, but since Mx Wifi is not down here yet, I can only assume that Mx Wifi had started losing their connection on their phone and had figured out what we were planning as they had most likely had ran back into the hotel to hide." Bunnix deduced, causing everyone to blink slowly as Marinette proceeds to do a facepalm.

"Ugh! I should've thought of that!" Ladybug yelled in frustration as Bunnix turned over to give White Loup a sly look.

"And you said that you didn't need me for the mission?" Alix asked teasingly as Douglas rolled his eyes with a deadpaned glare on his face.

"No time for an 'I told you so'! We need to move now!" Ladybug shouted as the Miracu-League immediately raced upstairs with Bunnix dragging behind due to feeling a bit dizzy from the long run as they made their way up the staircase and cursed in irritation as the group saw that each door was locked with green/pink locked icons.

"Crap! She's locked all of the doors while we were waiting for them!" White Loup shouted with a curse as Chat Noir suddenly turned towards them with a curious look on his face.

"Hey, White Loup, is your naturally white, or does it magically changed its color every time you transform? Bunnix, what is your favorite type of my icecream? My lady, do you have a boyfriend?"

"My hair is not naturally white! My hair color changes every time I transform!" White Loup stated with a huff from the constant running.

"Chocolate chip!" Bunnix exclaimed cheerfully as she coughed a bit and felt sweat ran down her forehead as she quickly wiped it away.

"Heh, I wish!" Ladybug says while rolling her eyes as an image of Adrien's beautiful face appeared on her mind, and she sighed lovingly as a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Oh, cool, good to know...hey, do you realize we all might actually know each other in normal life?"

"Doubt it." Ladybug says shortly while sharing a knowing look with White Loup and Bunnix as Chat Noir sees this and frowned in slight anger as he was about to ask another question but promptly shuts up as the Miracu-League had finally reached a door that was opened.

"Hey, they left this one open!" Chat Noir exclaimed as White Loup narrowed his eyes at it suspiciously.

"If Mx Wifi let this door opened, then that means that they're inside the room and had most likely put up a trap for us," Douglass says as Ladybug nodded with a glare on her face.

"White Loup's right! Get ready for an ambush on 3!" Marinette yelled as the group nodded solemnly and got into battle stances as they pulled out their weapons/claws. "1...2...3!" Ladybug shouted as they all burst through the door to the dining room and looks around for Mx Wifi, but couldn't see them as all that the Miracu-League saw was multiple phones placed across all of the tables that were around the room.

"Ahhh, so much for the ambush." Chat Noir says while pouting in disappointment as White Loup narrowed his eyes, feeling his wolf instincts flare up as they were warning him of incoming danger.

"I don't like this." White Loup says with a growl as Bunnix sees how tensed her friend and began petting his hair to calm him down as Ladybug walked forwards and looks around as she spotted the various phones placed on the tables and glared at them suspiciously.

"What's up with all these phones? And where is Mx Wifi hiding?" Ladybug asked as Chat Noir shrugged, and the group was about to begin searching the whole room for the Akumatized villain but stopped as a pink/green light began emitting from a nearby phone and, before anyone could react, Mx Wifi teleported out of the phone as they grinned at them sinisterly.

"Peek-a-boo!" Mx Wifi says mockingly as they lifted up their phone and fired a pink/green pause icon at a shocked Ladybug.

"Ladybug, look out!" White Loup shouted as he leaped up and tackled his stunned sister onto the floor as the glowing icons zoomed past them and Mx Wifi growled in annoyance as they fired more pause icons at them, and they were about to hit them, but thankfully Ladybug and White Loup were saved by Bunnix as she leaps in and gave them some cover with her umbrella as she sweated in effort and moaned a bit as Alix felt herself getting exhausted from the constant onslaught of pink/green pause icons.

"You can't protect your friends forever, little bunny!" Mx Wifi stated, after noticing that Bunnix was getting tired, as they grinned at this evilly and lifted up their phone as they were about to shoot more pause icons at them, only to gasp in shock as Chat Noir appeared out of nowhere and branded his staff as he twirled it around before using it to try and swat away Mx Wifi's phone from out of their hands, but the Akumatized villain reacted quickly as they teleported out of the way.

"Damn it! Where did they go?!" Chat Noir asked as Mx Wifi suddenly reappeared onto the scene and floated above one phone as they laughed at the shocked Miracu-League mockingly before disappearing from sight as they began appearing in and out of various phones around them.

"Ha! You can't get me!" Mx Wifi yelled cockily as White Loup places his arm onto Bunnix's shoulder and helped her up to her feet as he glances up at her with a big smirk on his face.

"Oh, we can't? That's cute. Ladybug? Chat Noir? If you please?" Douglass asked as Ladybug and Chat Noir nodded with cocky grins on their faces as they pulled out their weapons and began using their yo-yo/extended staff to smash every single phone insight, leading for a panicking Mx Wifi to make a break for it as they teleported out of an unbroken phone and ran into the kitchen as the Miracu-League followed after them, only to yelp in surprise as Mx Wifi fired a green/pink pause icon at them, forcing White Loup and the others to roll out of the way as the icon struck the door behind them, locking it in place as the Miracu-League continued dodging all of Mx Wifi's attacks, but then their luck ran out as Ladybug and Chat Noir's arms got pinned onto one side of the wall by two green/pink lock icons and White Loup and Bunnix got pinned onto the other side of the wall by two other green/pink lock icons.

"Finally!" Mx Wifi cheered in victory as the Miracu-League struggled to break free, and Mx Wifi smiled at this amusedly as they projected a pink/green camera icon above them and turned to the camera as they smirked at it evilly. "Welcome back, dear viewers! I have exciting news to tell you! I'm not only going to reveal Ladybug and White Loup's secret identities, but I'm also going to reveal Chat Noir and Bunnix's identities as well! Prepare yourselves, Paris, because you're going to see the Miracu-League's true selves!" Mx Wifi shouted as they reached over to grabbed onto Ladybug and White Loup's masks, causing them to internally panic as Mx Wifi smirks slyly and tried to remove their masks to expose them to the whole world...only to blink slowly as they realized that their masks won't come off. "What the!?" Mx Wifi asked in shock as he tried to remove Ladybug and White Loup's masks, but all they did was caused Marinette and Douglass to yelp in pain as they felt their faces being stretched along with the mask. "Ugh! Why won't they come off!?" Mx Wifi asked with a growl as the Dupain-Cheng siblings smirk at them smugly with a shrug.

"Magic, duh." White Loup says, both surprised and happy that their masks can't be removed that easily, as Mx Wifi glared at him in annoyance before turning towards a sniffling Bunnix as they walked over to her and tried to remove her fake ears and mask, but failed as they were stuck onto her like super glue.

"Ugh, godamn it! Get...off...her...now!" Mx Wifi shouted in frustration and anger as Bunnix grins at her slyly/victoriously before her face suddenly grimaces as the pink-haired teenager threw back her head and cutely sneezed onto Mx Wifi's face as the Akumatized villain shrinks back in disgust. "Ewww, gross! Cover your mouth, girl!" Mx Wifi scolded as Bunnix notices that they were distracted and decided to use this to her advantage by lifting up her legs as Alix threw a fierce kangaroo kick at Mx Wifi's chest and sends the grunting villain over to Chat Noir, who reacted quickly as Adrien glances up at his ringed arm.

"Cataclysm!" Chat Noir says as destructive energy surrounded his ringed hand and destroyed one of the green/pink lock icons as Adrien quickly grabbed onto his staff and used it to swipe at Mx Wifi's back, causing them to yelp in pain as they were sent flying away and crashed landed onto the ground with a pained woman as Mx Wifi dropped their phone and caused it to slide across the ground as a button was pressed and the lock icons holding onto the trapped Miracu-League disappeared with a flash of green/pink light as they grouped up.

"Nice combo attack, guys!" Ladybug praised Chat Noir and Bunnix as Adrien smirked at her and bowed as Alix pumps her fist into the air in victory.

"Ha, ha, yes! Being sick actually help me out in combat! Awesome!" Bunnix cheers as White Loup smiles at her amusedly before he and the others turned towards the downed Mx Wifi as they recovered from Chat Noir and Bunnix's attack as they stood up from the floor and grabbed onto their phone as they glared at the Miracu-League.

"This isn't over, Miracu-League! I still have one plan up my sleeve!" Mx Wifi says before letting out a loud maniacal laugh as she teleported out of sight.

"Where did she go?!" Chat Noir asked as the Miracu-League looked around for any sign of the Akumatized villain, but then White Loup spotted a flash of light out of the window as he gasped sharply.

"Guys, look!" White Loup yelled while pointing at the window as the group running over to it and peeked out of the windows as they saw the police of the city forming a small barricade in front of the entrance of the Le Grand Paris Hotel with a worried Andre standing in front of them as he was deeply concerned for his daughter's safety and was mentally pleading for the Miracu-League to save his little blonde-haired darlings from the dangerous Akumatized villain.

"Come on, come on," Andre says under his breath concernedly before beaming as he saw Chloe and Katherine, who were still both dressed up as Ladybug and White Loup, making their way out of the hotel as they poked their heads out of the doors of the entrance and smiled widely as they saw their father waving at them desperately to come over to safety. Grabbing each other hands, blonde teenagers quickly ran out of the hotel as they made their way over to the Mayor of Paris and hugged him tightly as Chloe began crying overdramatically while Katherine merely snuggled against her father's side in relief as she was happy to be out of the villain's radar, but then the tender moment was ruined by Chloe's phone ringing loudly as the spoiled rich girl promptly stops crying and pulls out her phone as Katherine's eyes widen in horror.

"CHLOE, YOU IDIOT! DON'T ANSWER THE CALL!" Katherine screamed as she reached out her arm to try and stop her older sister from making a big mistake, but it was too late as Chloe answered the call and gasps in surprise as Mx Wifi comes out of her phone and proceeds to grab onto a yelping Chloe and Katherine by the back of their costumes before teleporting away as they and the girls appeared onto the roof of the hotel as a nervous, yet angry Katherine turned to glare at her equally scared older sister.

"Hey, Chloe, here's a bright idea...MAYBE DON'T ANSWER A CALL FROM YOUR PHONE WHILE AN AKUMATIZED VILLAIN THAT CAN CONTROL PHONES IS AROUND!" Katherine shouted, causing a sheepish Chloe to shrink back from her little sister's scream as she smiled at a fuming Katherine nervously, only for the girls to suddenly shriek in fright as Mx Wifi suddenly pushes them off from the roof and everyone, including the Miracu-League, gasped in shock/horror as they watched a screaming Chloe and Katherine fall through the air before being caught by Mx Wifi as they pulled out their phones and fired two green/pink pause icons at their backs, freezing a horrified Chloe and Katherine in mid-air as Mx Wifi suddenly fired a pink/green camera icon above them and began broadcasting themselves with a big malicious glare on their face.

"Alright, dear readers, I am done with all of the constant interruptions and setbacks! So, that's why I've decided to come up with an ultimatum for our so-called protectors! Miracu-League! Listen to me carefully if you all don't come up here and reveal yourselves to the world, I will unpause the Bourgeois Bitches and send them hurling down to the concrete to meet their...unpleasant demise." Mx Wifi stated ominously, causing Andre and the rest of the civilians throughout the whole city of Paris to gasp at this in terror as the Miracu-League eyes widen at this in shock and turned to each other worriedly as, even though the majority of the group hated Chloe and Katherine, the young costumed heroes didn't want them to actually die! "Miracu-League, you all have ten minutes to get up here, reveal your secret identities to the world, and hand over your Miraculouses. Don't...make...me...wait!" Mx Wifi shouted angrily before ending her broadcast as the Miracu-League turned to each other and quickly huddled up as they began discussing how to handle this situation.

"Well, this went south really quickly," Bunnix stated bluntly as Chat Noir nodded.

"Yeah, no shit. Not only Mx Wifi has kidnapped the Mayor daughters...again, but they're keeping them hostage, and if we don't heed to their demands, those girls will become street pizza!" Chat Noir says before hearing his ring beeped a couple of times as he looks down at it and grimaces as Adrien turned back to his team. "And I have eight minutes before I change back. What do we do, guys?" Chat Noir asked the leaders of the group as Ladybug and White Loup began to think of a plan on how to deal with Mx Wifi and save the hostages.

"Hmmm, well, I was thinking that we can continue with Bunnix's plan from earlier and go up to the roof and break the cell tower, but that's going to be a little bit hard because Mx Wifi will be up there guarding it and if they see us trying to break their power source, Mx Wifi will definitely drop the girls. If we can somehow figure out a way to get past Mx Wifi defenses, we can smash the machine, but I'm not sure how can we do that." White Loup says with a shrug as Ladybug's eyes suddenly widen in realization, and she beams.

"Ooh, I think I know! Lucky Charm!" Ladybug shouted as she threw her yo-yo in the air, and a swarm of ladybugs appeared as they created-

"Okay, what?" Bunnix asked while sniffling a bit as she, Ladybug, and the boys peered down at the ladybug-themed object that rested in Marinette's arms with confused raised eyebrows.

"Alright, this is the most random object that your Lucky Charm ever created." Chat Noir commented as White Loup nodded.

"Yeah, I agree with Furball here. How will this help us out against Mx Wifi?" White Loup asked as Ladybug places her hand on her chin and hums thoughtfully as an idea popped into her head, and Marinette grins slyly as she turned over to her teammates.

"Guys, huddle up closer, I have a plan on how to use this to beat Mx Wifi, but it's a bit complicated, so try to follow along as best as you can." Ladybug stated seriously as the rest of the Miracu-League nodded, and they huddled up closer as one of their co-leaders began whispering to them about her plan.

---

"Where are you, Miracu-League?" Mx Wifi asked themselves impatiently as five minutes had passed, and the Miracu-League still hasn't shown up as the Akumatized villain growled and was about to pace around, but then stopped as the sounds of a couple of doors opening caught their attention and turned around as Mx Wifi saw Ladybug and White Loup walking into the roof of the hotel as they had their hands raised up in surrender.

"Mx Wifi! We're here! Don't hurt these innocent girls...well, they're not really innocent, but whatever, just please don't kill them!" Ladybug pleaded as White Loup nodded with a firm glare on his face.

"Yeah, we decided to spare ourselves to save these girls, so as long as you don't hurt them, we will reveal our secret identities to you." White Loup says as Mx Wifi smirked smugly and moved over their pink/green camera icon to the group as Mx Wifi made sure to zoom in the camera to Ladybug and White Loup glaring faces.

"He, he, heroes are so predictable. They're always so eager to surrender their selves to save others. Anyway, sit still and take off your masks." Mx Wifi ordered as the Dupain-Cheng siblings narrowed their eyes up at them furiously before nodding as Marinette and Douglass slowly reached up to grab their masks as they were about to take them off, but then-

"Wait! Where's the rest of the Miracu-League!?" An alarmed Hawkmoth asked through the telepathic connection between him and his Akumatized victim as a symbol of a purple butterfly appeared over Mx Wifi's face. "Why are there only two of them?! I don't like this. Ask them where Chat Noir and Bunnix are!" Hawkmoth commanded sternly as Mx Wifi nodded.

"On it, Hawkmoth. Hey! Ladybug! White Loup!" Mx Wifi shouted to the costumed teenagers, stopping them from taking off their masks as they looked up at the glaring phone-based supervillain. "Where's Chat Noir and Bunnix?! Tell me, right now!" Mx Wifi asked threateningly as Ladybug smirked up at her smugly while White Loup playfully pretended to look down at his imaginary watch.

"Oh, they should be here in three...two...one..." White Loup trails off as a glowing white time portal suddenly appeared in front of a shocked Mx Wifi, and a grinning Bunnix and Chat Noir flew out of it as Alix flew towards the Akumatized villain.

"Surprise!" Bunnix shouted while holding onto a small ladybug-themed bucket that was filled with water as Alix proceeds to douse Mx Wifi in water, causing their phone to short-circuit as it began covering Mx Wifi's body with an aura of electricity, and the faceless villain screamed in pain as Chat Noir swiftly took out his staff and extended it as Adrien twirled it around fast enough that it resembled a helicopter and the blonde-haired teen flew past the shocked Mx Wifi as he landed near the hotel cell tower.

"O-Oh, no, y-you don't!" Mx Wifi yelled while twitching madly as they lifted up their still sparkling phone in a vain attempt to try and stop the cat-themed superhero but failed as White Loup suddenly began running towards them and leaped up as he reared back his head.

"Lunar Blessing!" White Loup shouted as he took a deep breath and roared as he fired a small white soundwave that washed over Mx Wifi's body and caused them to scream in pain as they covered their ears and struggled to block out the soundwaves from breaking their eardrums as the soundwaves traveled over to the cell tower and damaged it as Chat Noir sees this and grinned as he pulled out his staff and twirled it around for a bit before using his weapon to smash the cell tower in half.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Mx Wifi shouted in despair/anger as, the minute that the cell tower was destroyed, they lost connection on their phone and lost their power as the green/pink pause icons that were planted onto Chloe and Katherine's body disappeared as they were unfrozen and began falling down as Ladybug reacted quickly and used her yo-yo to whisk them back up into the air as the screaming teens began falling down and Ladybug was quick to leap up to catch Chloe as White Loup did the same with Katherine.

"There you go." Ladybug says as Chloe looks around fearfully before realizing that she was resting in her hero's arms while currently cosplaying as her as Chloe blushes in embarrassment.

"Oh, uh, Ladybug, hey. This is a bit awkward, huh?" Chloe asked with a sheepish laugh as Ladybug simply smiled warmly and shrugged.

"Eh, maybe, but I don't really mind that you dressed up as me. In fact, I'm actually quite happy to have a fan." Ladybug says, lying through her teeth as she was deeply disturbed to see that her worst enemy not only loves her superhero half but was also cosplaying as her. This whole event made Marinette internally barf, but she didn't want to say anything that might reveal her secret identity to Chloe, so Marinette simply decided to play along and pretended that she was flattered by Chloe's actions.

"Oh, really!? Well, I'm glad that you like it. And, of course, I definitely pull off this outfit way better than you. No offense, darling." Chloe says after Ladybug puts her down as the spoiled brat twirled around to show off her ladybug costume and Ladybug's eye twitched at this as she took a deep breath and smiled over at Chloe awkwardly as Marinette nodded with a thumbs up.

"Well, this is definitely one of the most embarrassing moments in my life." A blushing Katherine says while resting in White Loup's arms as she would've enjoyed the moment if she wasn't dressed up as her crush.

"Heh, yeah, well, how do you think I feel?" White Loup asked with a laugh while putting Katherine down as he crossed his arms, and an irritated look appeared on his face. "Because of you, I was compared to looking like a girl all day. It got really annoying after a while." White Loup grumbled as Katherine gave the white-haired teen a sympathetic look.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean for all of this to happen. It was all Chloe's fault for going too far on Alya and Duncan earlier. Anyway, if it's any consolation, you don't look like a girl to me." Katherine stated sincerely as White Loup blinked at her in shock.

"Wait, really?" White Loup asked as Katherine nodded with half-lid eyes as she leans in closer to Douglass's face.

"Yeah, you're plenty of a man to me~," Katherine flirted while batting her eyelashes at him as White Loup blushes at this with an uncomfortable look on his face as Katherine smirks at this slyly and was about to say something else when suddenly a really pissed off-looking Bunnix appeared in between them as she promptly grabs onto a surprised Katherine's face and roughly pushed her away as a yelping Katherine crashed landed onto the ground with a groan.

"Alright, alright, alright. That's enough of that," Bunnix says while glaring at White Loup with a stern, jealous look on her face as Douglass was confused by her glare but gave her an apologetic look nonetheless as Alix rolled her eyes at this and places her hands on her hips. "Anyway, let's end this, once and for all." Bunnix says after coughing a bit as she made her way over to a panicking Mx Wifi, who was trying their best to regain their connection and their power as Bunnix walked over to her and casually knocked her out with the now empty bucket of water in her hands as an unconscious Mx Wifi falls down onto the ground. "Here you go, Wonderbug," Bunnix says while bending down to grab onto Mx Wifi's phone just as Chat Noir jumps down to walk over to the group as Alix threw the phone over to Ladybug, who snatched it out of mid-air as Marinette then tossed it onto the ground, shattering it as the Akuma flew out of the remains of Mx Wifi's broken phone.

"No more evildoing for you, little Akuma." Ladybug says while pulling out her yo-yo as she opened it up, and it glowed brightly as Marinette began twirling around her weapon. "Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug shouted as she throws her yo-yo at the Akuma and captures it as she whisks her yo-yo back at her. "Gotcha!" Marinette says while opening her yo-yo again as a white butterfly flew out. "Bye, bye, little butterfly." The ladybug-themed superheroine says before grabbing onto the ladybug-colored bucket that her friend Bunnix tossed at her. "Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug screamed as she tossed her Lucky Charm into the air, and a swarm of ladybugs appeared as they spread across the whole city and fixes up all of the damages caused by the Akumatized villain as Mx Wifi was turned back into Alya and Duncan as they looked around confusedly.

"What?/Where am I?" Alya and Duncan asked groggily as the Miracu-League shared their usual celebratory fist-pump.

"Pound it!" The group exclaimed before Bunnix's face grimaced as she lets out another cute sneeze and caused the others to shrink back in disgust as they glared at her.

"Gross!"

"Come on, Bunnix, cover your mouth!"

"You're so nasty!" Chat Noir, White Loup, and Ladybug complained in unison as Bunnix gave them a cheeky smile and a shrug as Alya recovers from her Akumatization and stood up as she excitedly ran over to the Miracu-League.

"Oh, wow, the Miracu-League! Can I please get a quick interview? Just let me grab my phone!" Alya says while running over to fetch her phone as the Miracu-League smiles at this amusedly, but then the group gasped in shock as their Miraculouses began beeping.

"Crap, we're running out of time." Chat Noir says as his ring beeps a couple of times, signaling that he has one minute left before he changes back.

"Yeah, we need to move fast." An alarmed Ladybug says as her earrings beeped, telling her that she has about two minutes before she turns back into her civilian form.

"But what about Alya and the others?" A sniffling Bunnix asked as her pocket watched beeped, signaling her that she has about two minutes before she changes back to normal.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine. Let's just go before our secret identities get revealed." White Loup says as his amulet beeps, signaling that he has about five minutes left before his magical transformation ends.

"Yeah, let's go." Ladybug says as the rest of the Miracu-League mumbled among themselves in agreement and turned around as they made their way out of the roof.

"So-Huh? Where did they go?" Alya asked as she had managed to find her phone and was about turn towards the Miracu-League to began interviewing them, only to groan in disappointment as she saw that they had disappeared from sight. "Oh, pooh..."

"Ugh, my head," Duncan says while sitting up from the floor as he rubs his head and looked up as his eyes widen at the sight of Chloe and Katherine dressed up as Ladybug and White Loup...and began laughing as the young teen now knew that they weren't real superheroes and were just cosplayers as the Burgeois Sisters blushes in embarrassment at this and glared at the laughing teen as Alya soon joined in on the laughter.

"Quick! We need to separate and find places to hide and switch back to our civilianselves!" Ladybug says to her team as the Miracu-League appeared onto the empty lobby of the hotel, and White Loup and Bunnix nodded as the trio were about to separate but were stopped by Chat Noir as he held out his ringed hand.

"Wait! Why don't you all stay instead!?" Chat Noir exclaimed, causing Ladybug and Bunnix to go wide-eyed by what he said while White Loup gasped in shock as Chat Noir gave them a pleading look. "There are no cameras around, and no one's here. And I promise to keep all of your identities a secret from the public. Superhero's honor." Chat Noir says playfully while lifting up his arm as Ladybug bit her lip at this worriedly.

"C-Chat Noir, I don't think that it would be a good idea too-,"

"I know that you, White Loup, and Bunnix all know your secret identities." Chat Noir interrupted with a serious look on his face as the trio stared at him in stunned shock. "I may like to joke around, but I'm not stupid, guys. I mean, it makes sense that my lady and her brother know each other secret identities due to being siblings, but judging by how you reacted earlier with Bunnix comming in sick and how you three act around each other, it's clearly obvious that you all know each other secret identities. But I want to know, why didn't you all told me who you all are? Why do I have to be the one that's out of the loop? Don't you guys trust me?" Chat Noir asked with a hurt look on his face as Ladybug, Bunnix, and even White Loup gave him sympathetic looks as Marinette decided to walk over to have a short talk with Adrien.

"Oh, Chatton, you have to believe me. We didn't mean to try and exclude you on the revelation of our secret identities. It's just that me, White Loup, and Bunnix had discovered our Kwami's and Miraculouses at pretty much the same time. We didn't mean to make you feel like we don't trust you because we do."

"Yeah, man, you're part of our team, and you have helped us out plenty of times in the past few months fighting against Akumas," Bunnix added in as White Loup nodded.

"It's true, Chat, and, even though you annoy the hell out of me, you ARE a valuable member of our team and, you don't know this, but we did have a secret meeting on whether or not to reveal our secret identities to you, and we decided that we reveal our true selves to you one day." White Loup says, surprising Chat Noir with what he said as Ladybug nodded with a somber look on her face.

"But just not today, Chat Noir. We're simply not just ready to tell you our secret identity yet, but I do promise you that we WILL tell you eventually. Just please give it time, Chat Noir." Ladybug says as Chat Noir had an emotionless look on his face and stared at each of his teammates stoically...before sighing as he nodded.

"Alright, then, I will wait until I see your beautiful unmasked face, my lady." Chat Noir says, going back to his playful ways as he winked at her, and Ladybug rolled her eyes with a small blush on her face as she then decided to suddenly lean over to kiss his cheek.

"Thanks, Chatton." Ladybug says to a stunned and blushing Chat Noir as she proceeds to run into a supply closet, ignoring the shocked looks that White Loup and Bunnix were giving to her as they turned to each other before shrugging as they ran inside of the supply closet.

Chat Noir watched them go quietly before hearing his Miraculous beep wildly as his transformation was done, and Chat Noir swiftly changes back into his civilian form just as the rest of his team changed back to normal as well as multiple flashes of light originated from inside of the supply closet. An indecisive Adrien stood in the middle of the lobby as he turned to look at the supply closet and noticed that it was left open as the curious little rich pretty boy proceeds to slowly walk over to the supply closet and grabs onto the door handle as he briefly thought of opening it and finally find out who his teammates really are...but only to sigh heavily as Adrien closed the door shut before turning around to run away as he made his way out of the hotel.

"Well, I'll be a son of a bitch." Douglass says while opening the door of the supply closet as he, his sister, his friend, and their Kwamis flew/walked out of the closet and shut the door behind them as they were surprised that Chat Noir actually didn't follow through on opening the door that they forgot to unlock.

"Yeah, even I'm kind of surprised by this, and I actually liked the guy." Alix breathes out in shock as Marinette slowly smiles warmly, happy that their cat-themed partner trusted them enough to not try and figure out their secret identities without their consent as Douglass smirked.

"Hmph, I guess that guy isn't bad at all...I still won't let him date my sister, though." Douglass says as Alix, Lupus, and Fluff rolled their eyes playfully while Marinette simply giggled.

"Figures," Alix says before coughing loudly as she groans, and a worried Douglass places his hand on her forehead as he grimaces.

"Oh, man, you're really burning up. It seems that your fever had gone up a bit." Douglass says concernedly before putting on a stern, determined look on her face as he proceeds to scoop up an eeping and blushing Alix from off her feet as he holds her bridal style. "Alright, that's it! I'm taking you home, and you're going to rest there until you get better, is that understood?" Douglass asked with a deep, serious, commanding tone as Alix blushed slightly by how...manly he sounded before slowly grinning slyly as the pink-haired girl nodded.

"Yes, sir," Alix says while playfully saluting him as Douglass rolled his eyes but smiled lightly as he began walking away with Alix still in his arms. "Just try to not grab my ass again, stud."

"I-I will keep that in mind," Douglass says with a blush as Alix giggled, and they continued to walk away.

"Awww, young love!" Marinette gushes as Tiki, Lupus, and Fluff nodded before all of them shared a laugh as they followed after the young teens.

"What are you doing!?" Plagg asked his holder with a surprised, disbelief look on his face as Adrien had run out of the hotel and, after making sure that the coast was clear, Plagg flew out of his jacket as he glared at the blonde-haired teen. "That was the chance to not only find out your teammate's secret identities but also find out who the love of your life really is! What were you thinking?" Plagg asked as Adrien simply smiled at him with a shrug.

"That's the thing, Plagg. I wasn't thinking. I was following my heart. Besides, you heard what Ladybug said earlier, my teammates ARE planning to reveal themselves to me eventually, anyway. If I opened that supply closet, I would've broken their trust, and they would hate me for the rest of my life. And I don't want that, so I will simply wait until they feel comfortable enough to me to reveal their true selves to me. It may take months and maybe even years, but I can wait." Adrien says sincerely as Plagg groaned but nodded as he flew back onto his jacket, and Adrien continued making his way back to his home.

"Your mask will fall one day, Miracu-League!" Hawkmoth stated firmly while residing deep inside his secret lair as an angry look appeared on his face. "You all will have no choice then but to hand over your precious Miraculouses to me, or else your demise will be certain!" Hawkmoth says ominously as his window closes up.

"Good news, sir, the crisis has been averted." Black Water says into his communication device as he was standing on a nearby building that was placed near the hotel as Black Water saw Adrien and Douglass and the others going their separate ways as he narrows his eyes at them. "Thankfully, I wasn't forced to intervene due to the Miracu-League stopping one of that Hawkmoth guy Akumatized villains from revealing their secret identities."

"That's good. We don't want those snot-nosed brats knowing of your presence. It could lead to them to investigate what's going on and sticking their noses from where it doesn't belong. Report back to the base. You are done for the day." Black Water's mysterious boss says as the bald-headed man grins evilly and nodded as he began packing up his spying gear and leaped down from the roof as ominous music played in the background.

And done! I hope that you guys will enjoy the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one. Anyway, before I go, I have to things to say.

1) If it wasn't obvious by what I wrote in the chapter, I WILL have the reveal happen earlier than expected...way earlier. The reason that I'm doing this is that I'm absolutely sick of Marinette and Adrien not knowing each other secret identities. And I also hate the whole stupid rule of Miraculous Users not knowing each other secret identities. I find that rule to be incredibly stupid, and I know that many people say that rule is actually a good thing because if one of the heroes gets Akumatized, he/she will reveal their partner's secret identity to Hawkmoth, but I will counter that argument by stating that if Marinette and Adrien knew each other secret identities, they will protect each other from being Akumatized and they can communicate with each other better on missions. And also, I just don't see how they can work with each other without knowing who each other really are. If Ladybug's not willing to reveal her secret identity to Chat Noir, then she really doesn't trust him. That's what I believe, at least. I know they seem to trust each other in the show, but I don't know if I was Chat Noir, I would've been angry that Ladybug is not even willing to reveal her secret identity to me one day.

2) Have you all noticed that Hawkmoth could've easily won in this episode? Like for real, when Lady Wifi had Ladybug and Chat Noir trapped, instead of telling Lady Wifi to force Marinette to use her superpower to save Adrien, Hawkmoth should've told Lady Wifi to take off Ladybug earrings to not only expose her secret identity but also steal her Miraculous, and Hawkmoth could've ordered Lady Wifi to fetch Chat Noir's Miraculous in the freezer as well. Hawkmoth could've done all of that and won, but nope, he decided not to do all of that. Gabriel is dumb.

Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
