Ladybug finished her solo patrol and stood on top of the Eiffel Tower, looking down across the brightly-lit cityscape. She could briefly see the silhouette of Cat Noir running across the rooftops, which made her a bit sad.

I'm so sorry, Kitty.

"Spots off."

She detransformed and Tikki appeared in front of her. "What're you doing, Marinette?"

"I don't know, Tikki. I still feel like a jerk for pushing Cat Noir away. I need to try and talk to him but he won't listen to me."

"But he will listen to *you, Marinette. Just talk to him as yourself and convince him to talk to Ladybug."

"I wish I could do that, Tikki, but I'm afraid I'll say something wrong and make things worse. I've never been so afraid of talking to Cat Noir before. The only other person who's ever gotten me this flustered is..."

"Adrien?", Tikki inquired.

"Yup. Adrien", Marinette groaned.

That night, as Marinette slept, Tikki managed to sneak out, phasing through the roof and flying to the Agreste mansion. She phased into Adrien's room and saw that he was asleep. Plagg was curled up on the nightstand, a piece of camembert sitting beside him.

Tikki flew over to the nightstand and tapped her fellow Kwami on the head. "Plagg. Psst. Plagg, wake up", she whispered.

His eyes slowly opened, and he jumped when he saw Tikki. Before he could scream and wake up Adrien, she grabbed the piece of cheese and shoved it into his mouth.

"Bathroom. Now."

Plagg swallowed the cheese and nodded.

Once the Kwamis were safely out of sight from anyone, Plagg asked, "What's so important that you needed to wake me up from my glorious dream about sweet gooey cheese?"

"Marinette's really upset about Cat Noir being mad at Ladybug. Have you talked to Adrien?"

"Pfft. Yeah. He told me he has no intention of being friends with Ladybug again for a long time. He's really taken a liking to Marinette, though. Imagine the look on his face when he eventually finds out they're the same person."

He was about to start laughing, but Tikki whipped him in the face with her tail. "Plagg, this is serious. You don't know...wait a minute. You might have just solved the problem."

"I have?"

"Yeah. All we need to do is get Cat Noir and Ladybug to reveal their identities to each other. Then Marinette and Adrien will be able to work out their issues."

"That's not a bad idea, Teek. Hope it works."

She smiled and flew towards the door. Plagg spoke up one more time before she phased through. "Tikki?"

"Yeah, Plagg?"

"It was nice to see you again."

"You, too, kitten."
