With the beeping on both of their Miraculous getting very rapid and loud Ladybug and Chat Noir were both wrestling with a mountain load of thoughts and emotions. Ladybug reached up to feel her earrings while Chat Noir looked at the ring on his fist before back into each others eyes.

"M'lady, you know that I've always wanted to know who you are for so many reasons and for so long, but only if you're okay with it. Either way I'll always feel the same about you. You're the most amazing person I've ever known and probably ever will know," said Chat Noir giving her a smile.

Ladybug smiled back as she quickly tried to process everything. They had been partner for a while now and there was an element of trust between them that couldn't be explained. She trusted her kitty more than she'd every trusted anyone in her life.

"So the six of you really wouldn't have it any other way, knowing each other both inside and outside your helmets?" asked Ladybug looking to the Rangers.

*10 seconds left

All the Rangers were smiling inside their helmets as they looked to each other, knowing they all felt the same way.

"Absolutely, knowing each other the way we do makes us stronger as a team. And If anything being the Power Rangers together has only made us all closer as a family," said Jason looking back at Ladybug.

Ladybug again quickly tried to think as her earrings were beeping like crazy security alarm. At the end of the day she was the guardian now and it was ultimately her decision on what could be done as far knowing each other's identities. As the last few seconds were ticking away Ladybug turned around and faced away from Chat Noir. Realizing what she was doing Chat Noir did the same thing, both heroes now facing away from each other.

With the last final beeps both Ladybug and Chat Noir dropped their transformation and let Tikki and Plagg float into their hands. Giving each of them food to get their strength back they smiled down at them while they fought the temptation to look over their shoulders.

"Come on guys, let's join them for this moment," said Jason looking side to side at his friends. "Rangers, power down." With that all six of the Power Rangers dropped their transformation and now stood as regular humans again, leaving eight regular people sharing a rooftop together.

"Kitty, I think...I think I'm ready for this. I trust you more than anyone and with everything we've seen today, I do think we could be stronger together like the Rangers are," said Marinette looking at Chat Noir's shadow on the ground right beside her.

Adrien smiled at his lady's words. He was feeling so anxious his body was starting to shake a bit. The moment he'd been waiting for for so long was finally here. Learning who the girl he loved was under her mask.

"Ladybug, I just want you to know that I love you no matter what," said Adrien smiling down at the ground. "You, Plagg, this life, everything has been the best thing to happen to my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything."

The Rangers were all grinning at the two superheroes and how nervous they both seemed to be about this.

"So I know I missed the beginning, but you're telling me the two of you don't know each other outside your masks and you're about to meet in person for the first time?" asked Tommy looking a little amused.

"Yes, and I think I agree with all of you, the time has come," said Marinette as she closed her eyes and turned around to look at her partner.

Somehow knowing what she was doing Adrien also closed his eyes and turned around, his heartrate climbing rapidly and his cheeks burning.

"On three m'lady?" asked Adrien smiling.

"Sounds good Kitty...one," said Marinette.

"Two," said Adrien.

"THREE," both said together as they opened their eyes. Both were instantly overwhelmed with shock and surprise as they froze on the spot, staring into each other's eyes in complete disbelief while they processed what they were seeing, both of their mouths slightly hanging open. For thirty whole seconds neither of them said anything as they just continuously stared at each other.

"I...I can't believe it," said Adrien as a tear trailed out of his eye and down his cheek, smiling at Marinette. This was something he never would have thought possible. And now that he was seeing it it was so much better than he could have possibly imagined. His partner and amazing lady was actually one of his closest friends all along.

Marinette was in more shock than surprise. Never in a million years would she have thought that her pun loving, flirty, silly kitty was actually the handsome and amazingly perfect Adrien Agreste. She wasn't smiling like him but she also wasn't disappointed, just taking it all in and processing it.

Adrien couldn't help himself anymore as he stepped forward and enveloped Marinette into a loving embrace, another tear of happiness running down his cheek as he felt Marinette slowly hug him back after a few moments.

The Power Rangers were smiling at the newly revealed partners but had no idea how much irony was truly going on right now. To them it was just two people that were learning their identities for the first time. They had no idea that they were already so close and cared so much about each other beforehand.

"So, I take it the two of you are happy now knowing who the other is?" asked Trini with a smile.

"I don't think I've ever had a happier moment in my entire life," said Adrien as he kept lovingly hugging Marinette, stroking her back lightly while he savored the moment.

Hearing his confession had Marinette shedding tears as well. As the shock of Chat Noir being Adrien was slowly fading, it was being replaced by pure joy as she heard him say how happy he was to learn that she was Ladybug. He wasn't upset, disappointed, let down, no...he was happy. And he was hugging her so tenderly which made her feel like she was on cloud nine.

After several more seconds of hugging each other both of the now revealed superheroes pulled back slightly and rested their foreheads against each other.

Tikki and Plagg were both hovering off to the side and both were feeling a huge weight lift off their shoulders.

"Oh man, it's about time. I've been waiting for this for so long and it baffles me that it took you this long to realize who the other was. I mean it was so obvious once you realize it," said Plagg flying around in circles.

"Stop it Plagg, let them enjoy this moment together," said Tikki frowning at her kwami companion. "After all they've both been through so much together both as heroes and in their regular life."

Adrien barely even heard what the kwamis were saying. He only had eyes for his beautiful partner.

"I can't believe that all this time you were sitting five feet behind me in school and I didn't even know it," said Adrien smiling brightly

This definitely got the Power Rangers attention and made them all snap their heads back a little bit.

"Wait wait, hold on a minute. You're telling me that you both already actually do know each other?" said Zack waving his open palms in front of him in shock.

"Yes," said Marinette simply with a beaming smile, not even looking away from Adrien's eyes as she answered.

"Well holy smoke, what are the odds of that?" asked Kimberly rhetorically.

"Well assuming Paris has a similar population to our timeline about one in two million or so," said Billy tilting his head a bit. The other Rangers chuckled a bit at how their genius friend always seemed to have the answer to things no matter what they were.

Turning to face the Rangers, Adrien gently took Marinette's hand into his own.

"Well, I guess now we can officially introduce ourselves. I'm Adrien Agreste," said Adrien politely.

"And I'm Marinette Dupain Cheng," said Marinette giving Adrien's hand a light squeeze of excitement. She was so giddy that the boy she's been in love with for months is holding her hand right now.

"Anyway, we've been good friends for a while now since I was first allowed to start going to school," said Adrien looking at each of the Rangers. "I was home schooled most of my life until recently, and Marinette has become one of my closest and most valued friends. She's been so helpful and supportive of me as I adjust to this kind of life because I've been sheltered for so long by my father. She's made it so amazing and easy to enjoy."

With pure admiration in his eyes Adrien looks right into Marinette's again. Her beautiful blue eyes shining like two sapphires in the sun.

Marinette feels her knees going weak as she looks deeply into Adrien's green eyes. They're glowing like two emeralds as she completely loses herself in them.

"Our friends in school have actually called Marinette our everyday Ladybug because she is always going out of her way to help others in whatever way she can when they need it," said Adrien looking at the Rangers again and giving Marinette's hand another little squeeze. "I actually feel pretty stupid now for not realizing before this that she was Ladybug."

"Well, it certainly seems like a bit of a fairy tale is going on between you two right now," said Jason smiling. "And judging by the looks you two can't seem to stop giving each other you're going to have quite a bit to talk about once we leave." With that Jason gave them both a knowing smirk.

"So, do you really have to go now, we feel like we haven't really gotten properly thank you for everything," said Marinette as her smile dropped a bit.

"There's no need, we were happy to help and knowing that both of you and all of Paris is safe is all the thanks we need," said Billy looking around.

"Plus, it gave me the opportunity to be a Ranger one more time and I definitely loved every second of it," said Tommy running his thumb over his morpher.

This had the other five Rangers remembering suddenly that once they left this timeline Tommy would once again lose his powers.

"Oh crap we completely forgot that you being back was only temporary," said Kimberly putting her hand on Tommy's arm. "isn't there anything that could be done to help you keep your powers?"

"Sorry Kim, but it really is only as long as I'm here," said Tommy. "The green candle will take effect once again as soon as we return so I'll have to give up my power coin again. But I know you'll keep it safe just like you have been all this time."

"Hey, no matter what, you'll always be a Power Ranger," said Jason offering his hand to his partner. Tommy took it in a bro shake as all six friends came together in a group hug.

"Well Rangers, we really should be heading home, Zordon must be running low on power at this point. You two want to come with us to the portal and see us off?" asked Jason looking at Marinette and Adrien.

Marinette and Adrien smiled at each other, silently knowing what the other was thinking.

"Absolutely," they both said together as Tikki and Plagg hovered right above their shoulders.

"Alright Rangers, one more for the road. IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" said Jason as the Rangers all raised their morphers.

DRAGONZORD

MASTODON

PTERODACTYL

TRICERATOPS

SABRE TOOTH TIGER

TYRANNOSAURUS

Marinette and Adrien were still in awe of the Rangers awesome suits and how cool their transformation looked as they now stood before them as the Power Rangers once more.

"Well, let's get this show on the road. TIKKI SPOTS ON, YEAH!" said Marinette as she transformed back into Ladybug.

Guess I'll wrap things up then. PLAGG, CLAWS OUT!" said Adrien transforming back into Chat Noir.

"Alright, I guess we'll meet you at the top of that building to say goodbye," said Jason as the Rangers activated their teleporters. Turning into beams of light they set off to the top of the Montparnasse Tower.

Offering his hand to Ladybug, Chat Noir took out his staff, ready to launch himself.

"Ready to go m'lady?" asked Chat Noir smiling.

"Always kitty cat," said Ladybug taking his hand and letting him give it a gentle kiss.

With that both Ladybug and Chat Noir leapt into the air together heading for the top of the Montparnasse Tower themselves. As they flew through the air they both kept looking at each other and blushed when their eyes met. They both knew that this was going to lead to some very amazing days together in the future.

Before they even realized it they'd arrived at the top of the tower and found the Power Rangers standing there ready to head home. The portal was starting to get really flashy again with electricity shooting out of it.

"Well, I guess this is it then," said Ladybug as the heroes all looked at each other.

"Yeah, but we'll always remember this, you can count on that. And if you ever need help again we'll find a way to come back," said Jason as they all gave a wave to each other.

Taking a hold of each other's hands the six Power Rangers stepped forward and into the portal. Giving off another big light show of sparks and energy they were consumed by it and vanished. With the Rangers now gone and one last display of energy the portal faded into nothing, leaving Ladybug and Chat Noir on the rooftop alone.

They both stared at the spot where the portal closed for a few seconds before Ladybug felt Chat Noir again take her hand, turning to face her.

"M'lady, I just want to say that finding out who you are has been the most amazing thing in my entire life," said Chat Noir stepping closer to Ladybug. "Knowing now that the girl I love is actually one of my closest friends is nothing short of amazing. I love you Marinette."

Ladybug felt multiple tears of happiness falling down her cheek from her partner's words.

*sniff "This is the most incredible feeling I've ever felt too kitty," said Ladybug. "Knowing now who you are and being able to express how much you mean to me is pure amazing. I love you too Adrien."

"Marinette, I want to kiss you so bad, but if it's alright with you, I'd prefer to do it as ourselves and not with our masks on. I want to be our true selves for this," said Adrien putting his hand gently on her cheek.

Ladybug can hardly contain her emotions as her body is slightly trembling.

"Spots off"

"Claws in"

As Adrien tenderly takes Marinette in his arms and Marinette wraps her arms around Adrien's neck, the two come together in a kiss of pure passion. The sun is setting on the horizon as their eyes close and they melt into each other's lips. The world around them completely fades in their mind as all they can focus on is how amazing it this moment is. Their lips feel so warm and soft against each other while they tightly hug each other's bodies against one another.

They keep kissing for what could have been a whole hour before they finally separate and rest their foreheads against each other, staring longingly into each other's eyes once more.

"How does some ice cream sound right about now?" asked Adrien giving Marinette another gentle peck on the cheek.

"It sounds like the best idea anyone has ever had," said Marinette gently brushing her hand through Adrien's hair.

As the new couple transforms back into Ladybug and Chat Noir they leap off the top of the skyscraper in search of the famous Andre's ice cream for lovers, eager to share the first of many together in a very long and happy relationship of pure love.

I wanted to make this as romantic as possible because of every side of the love square I've always wanted Adrienette. I know that is the endgame on the show and they're going to tease us as long as they possibly can which is frustrating but what can we do? And the Power Rangers were able to make it back home so all is good in the world. Hope everyone has enjoyed this chapter and story as we're about to wrap it up. All that I have left is an epilogue and we'll be putting an end to this story. Once again please REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
