A/N:just wanted to say have a good day :D
I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.
-A Reflektdoll 2 Reveal-
Marinette spotted the black car from her hiding spot, waiting for a good time to run over there. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest from adrenaline, and her lungs struggled to keep up with the pressure of sprinting, the burning sensation starting in her chest and reaching up her throat.
Finally, she had found time to get to the black car, where she, coincidentally, found a breathless Adrien who had just arrived there, as well. They both crouched behind it for a few moments, hiding and catching their breath together.
"Marinette, you should hide in the car."
"No! I mean, I err- left something important in the trunk." She stepped around him, and made her way to the trunk with caution. Despite the circumstances, she managed to be embarrassed by her stuttering and was now even more alert than before, in the presence of Adrien. She felt heat rise up to her cheeks and her face took on a pinkish hue.
Just as she began to open it, he told her to stop. She startled and looked up at him, wondering why on Earth he would prevent her from opening the car. I mean, what was in there? A body?
"What?" she said, voicing her confusion.
"I, um- have something important I need to get, too!"
She stiffened. "O-Oh. Well, tell me what it is, and I can grab it for you. I-I'm already by the trunk, anyways."
Now, it was his turn to panic. He skid over to her side just as she popped open the trunk.

"Hey, Stinky Socks, do you hear voices, or is it just me?"
"I'm sure it's nothing, Sugarcube." Plagg said, inhaling his cheese whole. "Besides, we actually have time to talk for once. It's been a while."
"I... guess you're right." She sat next to him. "So, what's your chosen like?"
"Well, I don't normally enjoy saying these things, but he's so great. Annoyingly a hopeless romantic, though, and he is always saying dumb things and being absolutely blind to your girl's affection. I still like to tease him, but I want to keep him safe from his dad. The poor kid's locked up like a criminal."
Tikki nodded. "I'm glad you like him. He does seem very sweet. Though I'd have to admit his comedic timing is too much like yours, Stinky Socks."
"Yeah... I just sometimes wish that I could make his father go worse than the dino-"
Light filled the trunk. A shaken Marinette held the door with one hand as her eyes widened further in shock, while an equally stunned Adrien peered over her shoulder.

"Plagg?" They said in unison. Although it came out more as a hiss of disapproval from Adrien, and a question of concern and fear from Marinette.
Marinette and Adrien looked at each other. A few awkward moments pass by.
"How do you know who Plagg is?" They say, together.
Tikki facepalmed.
