Thank you all for the lovely reviews! You're all so sweet!

Marinette

"So you're a, a fa, fairy?" I asked, in disbelief. She nodded, her hands clasped nervously in front of her. I shook my head, trying to get my thoughts in control.

"Not only that, you live in a different dimension and you're a princess and there are more of you, and well, it all comes down to the fact you were spying on me!" I said angrily, putting my hands on my hips.

She stood up. "I'm sorry Marinette," she began, "but I didn't just spy on you without any reason. My sister told me that it was time for our magic and yours to meet. I couldn't ignore this sign."

I paced around my room, still in denial. "This can't be real, I mean it's all a dream, right?" I asked her, "Right?"

Bloom shook her head. "I'm afraid I am real," she said, with real sincerity.

"Wait," I said, stopping in my tracks, "If you knew about me being Ladybug, then do you know about Tikki?" I asked her, shocked. She nodded to confirm my suspicions.

"Tikki!" I hissed, as she flew out from my pouch. I glared at her. "So you knew but you didn't tell me?" I asked her, upset. "Is that why you kept on giving me sly little hints all along?"

"Marinette, listen to me," Tikki commanded, "I did not know about Bloom. I only felt her presence, the magic she was emitting. And also, my intuition was not a hint; it was simply something I felt inside."

"She's right, you know," Bloom spoke up, a little hesitant, "kwamis have never interacted with fairies and the same goes for me. It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Tikki, by the way," Bloom added.

"And you, Bloom," replied Tikki. She then turned to look at me, her big blue eyes now firm and reprimanding.

"Marinette, Bloom is the same person you met this morning. You can trust her, and you know that too. Besides, she won't be staying for long."

"What?" I whispered, as Bloom looked at me, smiling sadly.

"I have a quest to return to," Bloom began, "I only came here to aid you and Chat Noir for some time. To be truthful, the aim was to know more about this unique magic happening here in Paris, but now I feel that I have found a new friend. If," she smiled shyly, "you're not angry at me, Marinette?"

I thought about the way she saved my life, both with and without her magic; she had looked at me like a sister, a friend when I opened up to her. How could I stay angry and upset at someone who accepted me so easily? How could I stay away from someone with such a beautiful soul? If I didn't say what I felt now, I may never get the chance to say it again.

I ran to her and hugged her. "I'm sorry for doubting you," I uttered, little tears prickling at my eyes, "please don't leave so soon."

She stroked my hair gently. "Don't be silly, Marinette," she chuckled, "I'm still here for a week, remember?"

I looked into her eyes. "Yes," I said firmly, "and I'm going to make sure you enjoy it, just like I promised!"

"That's the Marinette I know and love," Bloom concluded, beaming. Tikki looked at me approvingly, telling me in her own little way that I had done the right thing.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Marinette," she said, hugging me once more. She cuddled Tikki too, before going down the stairs. I heard my parents say goodbye and the door shut. They probably didn't mind that Bloom was here for an entire akuma attack; I wondered if they even noticed we were gone? On second thoughts, it was better if they didn't notice. I didn't want to confront them about my mysterious absences yet again.

"Well done, Marinette," Tikki praised, "after hearing Bloom's story, I know for certain that not only have you found a great friend, you made a very powerful ally too."

"I know she's powerful, Tikki, but that's not why I befriended her. She's a true hero, and an incredible individual."

"Yes, but did you know she has the power of the Dragon Flame?"

I scrunched my eyebrows. I did remember Bloom hitting on that briefly…

"I'm sorry Tikki, but what does that mean?" I asked, curious.

Tikki smiled. "Do you remember that time when I told you that kwamis and beholders have always existed?"

I nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"Well, her heritage stems from the power that created the magic universe. That makes her an incredibly powerful fairy."

I put two and two together. "So Chat was right then," I linked, "when he said Bloom could have created that energy wave we felt before. It was her, wasn't it?"

Tikki nodded. "Yes. After feeling her presence, I know that she was the one who created that wave."

"Well Tikki," I said, "I'm just glad that I'm friends with her, because she would be tough to beat in a fight!"

We laughed at that, and for the first time after becoming Ladybug, I felt a huge burden had been lifted off my chest. There was one person who knew who I was, on the inside and out, and I knew I could trust her forever.

Adrien

"…and basically, I fight monsters, evil and other things that need to be taken care of with my cool weapons," Sky finished.

I just gaped in awe.

"Umm, Adrien?" Sky asked worriedly, "Earth to Adrien?"

"This is so cool," I mumbled. Sky frowned.

"Sorry, I didn't catch that."

"I said, that THIS IS SO COOL!" I yelled, pumping my fist in the air. Sky looked a bit taken aback but soon, he started laughing.

"Well, if this is the way you want to take the news, then it makes my job way easier," he grinned, as I kept on jumping up and down. Okay, I was overacting, but it wasn't every day that you meet someone from another dimension, who has tons of experience fighting evil and is, get this, A PRINCE!

"You know, I was kind of mad you were spying on me but after you saved us back there, I forgive you," I said, calming down slightly.

Sky put his hands up in surrender. "Look, it was the only way to assess how you would react to me when I became involved. I didn't want you to think I was a threat, and start to fight me instead; that would defeat the entire purpose of a mutual cooperation mission. And it was prophesised that we would meet, etcetera, etcetera. "

I laughed. "Fine. Hey Plagg, you can come out now," I said, as I opened my jacket to let him out.

The cat kwami flew out, a sour expression on his face. "Adrien, you promised me some Camembert, and I still don't have it!"

"Plagg, is that all you think about?" I asked, exasperated.

"It's all right, Adrien, I brought some with me as an introductory gift," Sky said, taking out a small box from his jacket. It had the signature, mouldy smell and I pinched my nose to block it. He passed it over to Plagg.

"Finally, someone who is intelligent!" Plagg exclaimed, as he dove into the box. He re-emerged a few moments later. "Oh, and thank you, Sky," he added, mouth full with cheese, "it's nice meeting you."

Sky grinned. "The pleasure is mine, Plagg," he smiled. Turning to look at me, he held out a hand which I shook.

"I better get going, Adrien. I'll see you tomorrow, and we can go hang out with Marinette." He winked, before leaving. At the sound of Marinette's name, my heart jumped a little, and a wave of excitement passed over me, but I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

I slumped down on my bed, shattered from today's events, but oddly happy too.

"What a day, Plagg," I began, "I'm just so glad that I found someone I can trust my secret with." My chest felt light, and felt that I could actually sleep without the worry of slipping up. I hadn't realised how hard it would be to keep a secret this big, especially from my friends and family.

"Yeah, I like that guy. Good in a fight and has good taste, too."

I snorted. "You're only saying that because he gave you cheese," I said, rolling my eyes at him.

"Well, it worked."

I smiled as I settled in for the night.

Bloom

I met Sky at our campsite. We had lit a fire (well I had), and we sat down, basking in the warm glow.

"Well, that went well, I guess," Sky began. I looked at him questioningly.

"Really?" I asked, "I mean, I know I would have liked to show Marinette my transformation in a more, restful situation. She probably wouldn't have been startled as much, anyway."

"You know, I thought Adrien would have been really shocked at my story and wouldn't accept it, but he took it surprisingly well. In fact, he took it really well."

I laughed, slightly incredulous. "Well, I can't wait to see what more our journey holds. In fact, I should probably tell Daphne what happened."

Using my magic, I summoned a mirage. I saw Daphne on the other end.

"Hello Bloom," she greeted, and hearing her voice made me feel as if she had never left our side.

"Daphne," I started, "I need to tell you what happened today."

I began to retell all the events that happened, from the first akuma attack to the second, while Sky interjected at some points to add in his part. Daphne listened to us, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Well, I'm glad you finally told them the truth," she finally said, after we had finished. "Now you can work together with more ease but: don't forget that both Marinette and Adrien must not realise that they are working with each other as Ladybug and Chat. They don't know each other under the mask, and if they show that they know who both of you are, one of them at least will figure everything out."

What she said was true. If Ladybug started to act as if she knew me, or Sky then Chat would find it suspicious that she knew us both closely, despite having just met us yesterday. The same would go for Chat; Ladybug might figure out Chat's identity and that was not what she wanted, just yet.

"Okay Daphne," I agreed, "we'll both make sure that Marinette and Adrien do not reveal their identities accidentally. I respect their decision; they'll do the right thing when the time comes."

Daphne smiled at me. "I'm so proud of you, Bloom. I'll talk to you later, okay?" I nodded to confirm her decision, and the mirage disappeared.

Resting my head on Sky's shoulder, I sighed. "Sky, when will they actually start to like each other for every part of them? When will Marinette start to love Adrien's daring, charming demeanour as Chat and when will Adrien see the brave, compassionate girl in Marinette as he sees in Ladybug?"

I felt Sky breathe heavily. "I don't know, Bloom," he admitted, "but I know that they're starting to love every aspect of each other. Both of them are opening up to possibilities they never even dreamed of."

I gazed at the sunset, all the colours merging into one another perfectly, creating a sense of harmony, and peace. It reminded me of the trust I had in those I loved, the way we were always matched, coordinated and strong, together.

"I know that they must start to accept each other fully before they will reveal their identities," I said with a smile, "because when they can love each other for who they truly are, that's when all the pieces will fit together."

That will be the day when they will be united, forever.
