Cat Noir barely refrains from screaming - he managed to catch Ladybug's wrist as they were all falling, but his sister missed the baton he extended. Ladybug, though, doesn't have that same self-control and screams her superhero name after her yo-yo misses. He finds his Lady's arms wrapped around him as she holds on and sobs, and buries his face in her dark hair while struggling to not do the same - both of them can't have a breakdown, after all, and he's the one literally holding them up.

And then they see the dragon come swooping back at them, and they…get yanked onto the dragon's back. When the two of them open their eyes, they see…Dragon Fyre. Ladybug gasps "You're alive!"

Dragon Fyre suddenly finds herself all but strangled by Ladybug's arms, and then Cat Noir practically picks the both of them up in his hug. It's pretty hard to tell who's saying what when they're both talking at once, but between the 'don't you ever do that again!' and 'we thought we'd lost you for good!' she gets the message.

After a minute, Cat Noir pulls back slightly and asks "How did you manage this, Sis?!"

Dragon Fyre grins, using a bit of magic to wipe at both her partners' faces since they were very clearly crying, and says "Fang remembered me. And he still likes me, croc or dragon." As if in response, Fang roars and shoots a burst of green flames into the air.

Both Cat Noir and Ladybug hang onto Dragon Fyre as Fang heads back towards the Eiffel Tower, and Dragon Fyre calls over "I'll get the idiot out of danger, you guys handle Guitar Villain!" Honestly, she shouldn't be that surprised - the idiot's got Bob Roth as a father and role model, of course he'd be entirely unconcerned about the potential of getting killed in an Akuma attack and them getting beaten for once.

Ladybug and Cat Noir nod - XY is clearly not gifted in the brains department either, as he was entirely unconcerned about the possibility of needing to be evacuated by the three superheroes. Even rhetorically asked if Guitar Villain would blow him away with his guitar solo - the answer, as all three all but shouted, was yes. Guitar Villain's 'Awesome Solo' is his attack, and has pinned Cat Noir to things about five separate times now. He's planning on asking Dragon Fyre to heal his ears, just in case - they won't stop ringing, and he doesn't know whether Akuma-related hearing loss is permanent or not.

Dragon Fyre grins, then says "We'll drop you off below-stage, grab XY, and keep Guitar Villain distracted for you guys. Spots?"

Ladybug grins, and makes a Lucky Charm - she gets hairspray. Cat Noir asks "Your planning on doing his hair?"

Ladybug glances at the hairspray, and then at Guitar Villain, and then says "Actually…yes. Kitty, I'll need a distraction."

They jump to the Eiffel Tower while Dragon Fyre and Fang keep circling, an illusion of the two of them still on the dragon's back keeping Guitar Villain none the wiser for the time being as they keep his attention with fireballs thrown in his general direction. And then they hear XY scream suddenly as the dragon pair makes another pass, and Guitar Villain starts gloating…right up until Cat Noir jumps out. He gets pinned to the metal pillar behind him after putting up a brief struggle for appearances, but that was the plan - because Ladybug jumps down in front of Guitar Villain and uses the hairspray on his mop of hair he's flipping back and forth.

His hair freezes directly in front of his face, letting Cat Noir smash his baton on the guitar just as Dragon Fyre lands on the railing with a scared-to-shaking XY - if they notice she's dragging him along by the scruff of his neck, they don't say anything about it. He's an idiot who caused all this with his ridiculously rude remarks about Jagged Stone - they looked up XY's interview with Nadja Chamack, and the idiotic brat called 'Ragged' Stone an old has-been who's washed-up and is out of a career now that he's on the show. And implied he's going deaf.

Needless to say, they're not feeling particularly sympathetic towards him at the moment.

The fact that they all love Jagged Stone's music doesn't help either.

Cat Noir takes Jagged Stone back to the hotel, after getting an album autographed with undisguised glee, while Ladybug gets XY back to the tv station. Dragon Fyre, meanwhile, heads back to Mari's place to keep her parents from freaking out if they discover their daughter is just missing.

The next week, the news is filled with reports of Jagged Stone being back at the top in terms of sales - the king of rock 'n roll is back full-force, due in no small part to the album cover everyone loves. And Bloom and Marinette are featured as the designers on a music magazine that ran the story, which everyone is reading. They've gotten more compliments, congratulations, and questions about 'how did you end up designing Jagged Stone's album cover?!' than they can count together, after that - and even Chloe hasn't insulted them yet today, seems she figured out the detail that they really had just come from Jagged Stone's suite that day.

And then Marinette suddenly squeaks, drawing Bloom's attention to Adrien standing there with the new album in hand…and he asks them to sign it, since they're the designers. Bloom automatically catches Marinette by the shoulder before she can lose her balance - since she tried casually leaning on the railing and was sliding off - and says "Sure, Adrien, let me get a pen out." She's half-concerned Marinette might have heart failure at this rate, given the detail that Bloom doesn't think she's breathed since Adrien asked them to sign his new cd.

Giving Marinette a sharp poke in the back, coupled with a small bit of magic to remind the dark-haired girl she needs air, she gets a pen out and takes the CD to sign her half of their brand logo. Marinette then signs hers, and Adrien looks at the signature in confusion. "'B&M'?"

Bloom smirks, and says "It's a secret, Sunshine. Enjoy the album."

About a minute after Adrien walks away, Marinette sighs and says "I think I might be dreaming, Bloom…"

Bloom chuckles, then says "Nope. It's real, Mari." The resulting squeal should legitimately shatter glass, and Marinette's face should just split in two due to the ear-to-ear grin on her face. Bloom quickly thumps Marinette in the chest to get her to take a breath, still concerned her friend will just drop to the ground unconscious from a lack of air at this point, and says "Breathe, Mari, breathe! We'll probably get asked to sign twenty more albums today alone!"

"Yeah, but we just signed Adrien's!"

Marinette, Bloom quickly figures out, is never going to be able to concentrate on anything today - not even with Tikki quietly trying to get her to focus. Bloom just waves off Adrien's concerned look - which, truthfully, only makes Marinette's 'Adrien-overload' even worse, the girl's on cloud twenty at the moment - and says she'll be fine in a while.

Tikki quietly mutters "A long, long while…" She loves her latest Holder, Marinette might actually be the best Ladybug she's ever had…but she does have one or two flaws. This being one of them. She wouldn't be Marinette if she didn't have them, though.

AN: Hey, everyone! It actually ended up being a triple update today - I tried keeping Guitar Villain as one chapter, and it was monstrous. So...two chapters. Making it a triple update - enjoy!

And, dear Kwamis, XY is an ABSOLUTELY IDIOTIC BRAT! Who, in their right minds, doesn't take getting evacuated by superheroes seriously?! Not to mention the detail that he's a fraud, a talentless hack, AND he's got no spine, shame, or even MANNERS. Talentless little perfume ad, he really gets to me!

Sorry, but...just that one character who's so stupid and annoying that you just can't stand them? That's XY - who even names themselves or their kid XY anyway?! Even as a stage name?!
