Adrien stared up at the ceiling upon his bed and his mind began to wonder back to what had happened earlier. Marinette had never returned from the bathroom, instead Alya had sheepishly told him that Mari had forgotten about an important appointment that she couldn't miss. Of course, he could tell Alya was lying, but he decided not to pressure her for details and the two of them finished their lunch.

Marinette was Ladybug, he knew that now, and she knew that he knew. Adrien grinned foolishly at the thought, and felt his heart start to beat faster, he finally knew who his beloved lady really was! For years he had dreamed of this moment, although admittedly he had never pictured the reveal happening quite like this.

The smile slipped off his face as he suddenly realized something. Marinette was only staying until after the class reunion. His heart sank and he groaned as he buried his head into a pillow. Life really wasn't fair sometimes, all he wanted was to just be together with his Lady, was that really too much to ask for?

Adrien sighed and looked up, his eyes landing on the clock that was on his desk. An idea popped into his head and he scrambled off the bed and launched himself towards the desk. "Why didn't I think of this earlier?" He asked out loud.

"Because you were too busy being in shock?" Plagg answered, having finally woken up from his nap and searching intently for food. He leaned over Adrien's shoulder and looked down at his phone. "What are you doing?"

Adrien looked up from his text and grinned. "I've got an idea."

Marinette sighed as she threw her phone on her desk and rubbed her tired eyes. Although Alya had agreed to make up an excuse so she could escape quietly from the lunch outing, her friend still hadn't stopped asking why exactly Mari hadn't wanted to be around Adrien.

"I'll just go to sleep right now..." She decided as she turned off her lamp and jumped onto her bed. There were so many things that she really didn't want to deal with at the moment, and she still hadn't even figured out if she was really going to do the interview or not. Adrien had said that he would try to get a spot for her, but now she was having second thoughts about it and even considered calling Adrien so that she could tell him that she had changed her mind.

Of course talking to Adrien was also something that she didn't want to do either. He knew that she was Ladybug...he knew everything now...and she was scared of how he was going to react. She knew that he had always had a crush on Ladybug, but that was Ladybug, not Marinette. She couldn't help but think that perhaps he was a bit disappointed by her, now that he knew who was really behind the masked superhero.

No matter how much she tossed and turned, she just couldn't seem to fall asleep. Her room felt so stuffy and tiny, she felt as if she was a small animal confined to a cage. She got up and walked outside to her balcony, and leaned on the railing as she looked up at the night sky.

"Marinette, you've got a message." Tikki called out from the little bed that Marinette had crafted for her. The little kwami picked up the phone and flew it over to Marinette.

"Probably Alya again," Marinette thought as she take the phone and looked at the message.

Hi Marinette, it's Adrien. I was wondering if you're free tomorrow.
