Two days after I stayed up all night helping Marinette do homework, I grab the small present containing a small cat charm off my desk, and go to school.
I see Adrien when I get there. "Hey Adrien!" I call. He starts over here. "Happy birthday!" I say, handing him the gift.
"Thanks Julia!" He replies, then Nino arrives. I go to class, deciding to let Marinette be. I don't want her actually giving him the present, because that would be bad, since that's a big part of the episode.
Well, a big part to the fandom at least.
After school, I'm sitting in the park when Nino, well the Bubbler, appears. He grabs me and puts me down at the Agreste mansion.
After a few minutes Adrien comes out, and I'm too far away to hear anything, although I know what their saying. All I hear is "when the cat's away the mice will play."
'well the cat's not actually away. Well he's more of a moth, butterfly whatever then a cat. Adrien's the cat in the family.' I think, laughing myself.
A little while later and I will never see bubbles the same way again. We are all trapped in bubbles, and it's hard to breathe, and it feels like watery jello, which is kinda gross.
It feels like hours until we are teleported safely to the ground by the magical ladybugs. I watch the signature pound it, relieved to have fresh air again.
A few days later and I'm back at Marinette's. She looks at me, opens her mouth like she wants to say something, closes it, and turns back to her sketchbook. Tikki is sitting on her desk, munching on a cookie. Marinette does the same thing again, turning to me, opening her mouth, closing it, and turning back. After her third time, I'm curious.
"Do you wanna ask me something?" I offer. She turns to me, her expression relieved.
"Yeah, um actually I do. I just... I can't figure you out. You uh, you know my identity, you act like you know everyone, and you seem to know things. Alya told me you were practically ready for Stormy Weather, you knew Adrien's birthday was soon, and you seem to know everyone's name, even though from what I know, there's no way you could know that!" She rambles. I try to think of an excuse, a way to give her something that isn't the truth.
"And don't even try to lie to me. I just want to know the truth." She says, practically reading my mind.
"I..." I trail off. "I wish I could, but it's hard to explain. Even if I wanted to tell you, it's better you not know." She looks disappointed.
"Well, I'll give you the bare basics. I... Where I come from..." I try to think how to put it. I realize this might affect things, so I pause. "I don't come from here. I'm sorry I can't explain more than that. But I also have a question. Do you speak French? We are in Paris after all."
Marinette scrunches her forehead in confusion. "I-I've never really thought about that but no. No one here does. Strange ..."
She notices I don't look confused. "Does that have to do with your... Thing you can't tell me?" She asks, curious.
"I guess so. I mean I'm glad I wasn't sent to the French dub otherwise I wouldn't be able to understand any of you..." I throw my hand over my mouth as I realize I said too much.
"It's okay. I won't ask. I just hope you'll tell me eventually." Marinette smiles.
"I promise I'll tell you someday, I just can't tell you yet." I swear to her, packing up my stuff. "I better go now though, it's getting late."
She waves as I walk across the street. "Bye Julia! See you at school tomorrow!"
I laugh.
"Marinette, tomorrow is Saturday!"
I don't have anything to say.
Bai!
