Skylar's POV

Tristen and I both have a seat. I try to prepare myself beforehand, knowing this would be a lot to take in.

"Ever since the first day of school last year, there has been these unexpected attacks by super villains. These villains are everyday civilians like you and me," Tristen explains.

"Something happens in their life that makes them have negative emotions. A super villain named Hawkmoth can sense those emotions and can turn the civilian into his minion by akumatizing them with a little black butterfly."

"Why does Hawkmoth do this?" I ask.

"He uses these people to fight our two superheroes in attempt to capture their jewels called the miraculous'."

"What do the miraculous' do?"

"I think it helps them transform into their superhero form. No one knows why Hawkmoth wants them so badly."

"Behind the mask of our heroes are regular civilians as well. No one knows who they are behind the mask," He continues.

I nod my head slowly.

"What happens to the poor civilians who get akumatized?" I ask worriedly.

Tristen smiles softly. "After our superhero duo defeat them, Ladybug breaks the object that the akuma is trapped in and de-evilizes it and everything goes back to the way is was."

I let out a sigh of relief. I hug Tristen and he quickly hugs me back. We sit in the room and listen for a while.

We then hear loud crashes from right outside the door.

We run to the back of the room and hide behind a few bookcases.

We didn't have to look to know that the door wasn't on it's hinges anymore.

"I know you're in here little ones, you don't need to run!" the akumatized victim whispered, her bow ready to shoot. "No one is going to hurt you!"

"I'll distract her while you run," Tristen whispers to me, ready to run out of our hiding place.

"No way am I letting you go out there," I whisper back, instantly grabbing his shoulder. "We get out of here together or we don't get out of here at all."

He looks at me worriedly and I nod to reassure him I was ready when he was. We quietly count to three and run towards the entrance of the room, not looking back.

We run towards the back exit of the school and are finally away from the akuma.

"I'm not leaving you until I know you are safe," Tristen says after we both catch our breaths. "I'll walk you home."

"Okay, but we're staying together until the akuma is defeated. I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind you staying with us until everything is back to normal. After a good explanation that is," I assure him.

I could feel my face start to burn as he put his hand in mine. I look up to see him smiling his dazzling smile. I swear, you could hear my heart beat miles away.

We soon start heading towards my house. Thankfully it's not too far away from the school, so there won't be any awkwardness.

"So tell me a little bit about yourself," Tristen says to me.

"What do you want to know?" I say with a smile.

"Well... what do you do in your spare time?" He asks.

"Where I used to live, there were ramps where me and my friends would skateboard together," I say, thinking of my old town and friends.

He must've seen a sad look on my face. I smile and assure him it was nothing.

"I also really love reading and drawing."

"What is your favorite thing about art?" Tristen asks me.

"Drawing is one of the only things I can do to keep my mind off of things. Drama, stress, the move, the list goes on. And it's a way I can truly express myself," I say with a smile. "I believe all art is beautiful."

I didn't realize that I was drifting off until I felt eyes on me. I quickly turn back to see a pair of gorgeous brown eyes staring down at me with surprise and curiosity.

I laugh nervously, looking away before I fall deeper under their spell.

"Sorry, it's just... I feel the same way," he smiles as his cheeks turn baby pink.

"I'd really like to see some of your drawings some time." he says shyly.

"Of course," I manage to say. "And maybe while we're at it, I could show you how to skateboard."

We soon arrive at the entrance of my neighborhood. We share a comfortable silence as we walk along the sidewalk. I then realize that Tristen hasn't let go of my hand the whole way.

I turn into my driveway, pulling him along. He finally realizes our hands and he quickly lets go. I look up at him and his cheeks and tips of his ears turn a dark crimson. I playfully giggle and nudge him gently.

I walk in and immediately hear screams from the other room. We run in and find my parents on the couch, remote in hand.

"Thank goodness you are alright!" Mom says, gently touching my face.

"Where's your brother?" Dad asks.

"Uhh..." I hesitate. My mom starts panicking once again.

"I'm sure he's fine." I say, trying to calm her down. "Let us explain what's going on. Mom, Dad, this is Tristen Kingsley." I say a little bit about Tristen and that he was assigned my tour guide.

Tristen and I start explaining what he told me earlier about akumas. She finally starts to calm down, but I knew she wouldn't be at peace until she knows that Keith is safe.

We were then excused to head upstairs to my new room. As he enters, he looks around with an amazed look.

"You sure like to decorate," he says, still amazed.

"What can I say? I'm extra," I reply playfully. I then remember my sketchbook on my dresser.

I quickly grab it and we walk out onto my balcony.

"Wow, this view is..." Tristen began.

"The best, I know," I finish for him.

I suddenly feel a warm hand connect with mine. I feel a real fuzzy feeling all through my veins.

We sit down on the bench and I show him my drawings. His eyes shimmer with admiration as he looks over them.

"How are you so amazing..." I hear him say. His face quickly turns dark red once again. I giggle and he soon joins in.

"Hi kids, I made y'all some cookies," my mother says, holding out a freshly made batch.

"Thank you, but I should really get going," Tristen says, slowly getting up.

"Are you sure Tristen?" I ask.

"Yeah, my parents are probably worried about where I've been," he says, grabbing a cookie to go.

We walk back downstairs and outside to the driveway.

"Thank you for everything today," I say shyly.

"No, thank you." He smiles, "We will finish our tour tomorrow, okay?"

I nod, probably blushing with an awkward smile on my face. I wave to him as he walks off.

I frown mentally as I close the door behind me. I turn around to find my parents both smiling at me. I quickly run up the stairs and lock the door to my room. Why do parents have to make things so awkward?!

"Master, I've found a great new pair to be the next miraculous holders," Wayzz says, flying over to his master.

"Bring them their miraculous'... I sense that our superhero duo will need some help fighting this villain."
