Felicity woke up on Saturday morning to the sound of her brother knocking on her bedroom door. It was the day after the event with Electra and finding out that Leopard was back in London but wasn't staying.
Felicity had met with Tawny Owl the same evening and found out that something happened in his civilian life that meant he couldn't transform.
"Teddy, it's early. Are Mum and Dad awake yet?" Felicity asked.
"Mummy's in the shower," Teddy said. "I wanted to see you."
Felicity moved over and allowed her younger brother to sit on the bed with her.
"You was amazing yesterday," Teddy said, "I saw you on the news."
"I can't take all the credit. Leopard helped as well," Felicity told Teddy.
"Who's Leopard?" Teddy asked.
"He's a miraculous holder," Felicity replied. "I don't know who gave him the miraculous. I didn't know that there was a Leopard Miraculous until he showed up a few months ago."
Time Skip
Felicity arrived at the cinema where she would meet Ben. Her Mum had dropped her off at the end of the road. It would be the first time that she had been with Ben on her own. Last time Mia was there with her.
Ben arrived and they went inside to buy tickets and popcorn.
"I've been waiting to see this movie since it was released in France," Ben said.
"It's not a horror movie is it?" Felicity asked.
"No, it's not. It's the Ladybug and Chat Noir movie," Ben replied.
Felicity knew about the movie since she still spoke to Marinette. Her family provided snacks for the premiere.
"I heard about that movie," Felicity said as they walked into the screen and found their seats.
"Did you know that Adrian Agreste voiced Chat Noir? Ben asked.
"I did. I was in the same class as him in Paris," Felicity replied as she took some popcorn from the bucket and ate it. "He's also a famous model for his father. Adrain's a nice boy."
"It sounds like you knew him well," Ben said.
"We spoke a few times," Felicity said
The lights dimmed and the movie started.
Felicity enjoyed watching the movie. She liked the way that they came up with the origins for how they got their powers. It was very creative.
"If only they knew the truth," Felicity thought to herself as they walked out of the screen.
"Did you enjoy the film?" Ben asked.
"Yes, I did," Felicity replied. "How did you manage to convince your father to let you come? Mia told me that your father is strict about who you go out with."
"He's been more relaxed lately. I think it's got something to do with my birth mum showing up on the doorstep last weekend."
"That must have been hard. I thought that you still lived with your Mum," Felicity said.
"Linda's my step-mum. It's hard to explain," Ben said. "I have two older stepbrothers as well."
"Didn't one of them pick you up from Robbie's party last year?" Felicity asked.
"Yeah, that was Flavio, Luka's coming to get me soon. That was one of my Dads conditions," Ben replied. "You know it's the first time I've taken a girl out,"
"Really?" Felicity asked. Her cheeks turned red as she blushed. Felicity liked Ben a lot but she didn't know if he saw her as more than a friend. She wasn't going to ask him either.
"Felicity, you are the first girl that I've felt happy to be around. Most of the girls only like me because I come from a wealthy family but you don't. I've been trying to ask you this for a while now. Would you be my girlfriend, Felicity?" Ben asked.
Felicity didn't know what to say. She hadn't expected that and was still trying to let it sink in when a silver Mercedes pulled up.
"That's Luka's car. Would you like a lift?" Ben asked.
"Yes, please," Felicity replied. Ben opened the back door for Felicity to climb in and then went around the other side.
"You must be the girl that Ben speaks so highly off. I'm Luka," Luka said.
The journey back to Felicity's house was quiet. No one spoke. Felicity used this time to think about what Ben had asked her.
The car arrived at Felicity's house. The lights in the lounge were still on, meaning that her parents hadn't gone to bed yet.
"Here we are," Luka announced.
Felicity got out of the car.
"I had a lovely time. Thank you, Ben," Felicity said as she smiled. "We should do it again soon."
"Does that mean..." Ben started to say.
"I would love to be your girlfriend," Felicity replied as she placed a kiss on his checks. Ben returned the kiss but leant over the window and kissed her on the lips.
After telling her parents about her evening with Ben, Felicity went to her room. She couldn't wait to tell Mia about it but she would have to wait till tomorrow.
Ben arrived home and went to his room. His Kwami, Oona flew out of Ben's pocket.
"So, you got the girl," Oona said. "Does this mean that you're over Wolfette?"
"Wolfette and I can't be in a relationship, It's too dangerous. She made it clear that she has a crush on someone else anyway. I have to respect that," Ben said as he smiled at Oona.
The Ladybug and Chat Noir movie is seen in the cannon series episode 'Animaestro'. I do not own it.
Next time: Firefly ups his game in his quest to get hold of Wolfette and Tawny Owl's Miraculous. In need of extra help Felicity must choose a new hero to fight along side them.
