Hi! Thanks to all who have read my story! Please review!

Marinette lay in her bed, unable to process these events.

After she had heard the news about Adrien, she had passed out. The doctor attributed this to the shock of losing two classmates combined with her weakened state. He prescribed her medicine and sent her home, claiming she'd be fine.

Marinette was definitely not okay.

She was sick and tired, and had cried so much she had no tears left.

Marinette was forcing herself to sleep. She took her medicine on time, she ate and drank like a good little girl, anything so she could get better. The hospital would not permit her to visit Adrien sick, so the sooner she was healthy the better.

She promised herself she would find the ones who hurt the boy she loved.

With that thought keeping her composed, Marinette fell into a deep sleep derived from sickness and medicine.

"Tikki!" A hissing whisper prompted the kwami to check on Marinette.

Tikki was confused to find her sound asleep.

"No! Open the window!"

Tikki flew over to the window. She was surprised to see a small black creature resembling a cat tapping on the glass.

"Plagg?!" She used her magic to bring him inside. "What are you doing here?"

"Not safe for me with Chat, at least not anymore." Plagg panted, trying to catch his breath.

"Why not?"

"He's in the hospital. Too many doctors and cameras."

"In the hospital?!" Tikki gasped. "Why is he in the hospital?"

"We went searching for Chloe." Plagg muttered.

"I know that!" Tikki said crossly. "What else?"

"I dunno..." Plagg trailed off. "I don't really remember much."

"Well that's just great." Tikki snapped. "Ladybug's sick and Chat Noir is in the hospital."

"Oooh!" Plagg snickered. "I wanna see Chat's ex-crush."

"Ex-crush?" Tikki inquired, these words piquing her interest.

"He has a girlfriend now." Plagg informed her smugly.

"That's good, because she has a boyfriend."

"Really?" Plagg wrinkled his nose.

"Yeah, and it's the guy she's had a crush on since a little after she met Chat. He's in her class." Tikki explained proudly.

Plagg wasn't listening. He flew over to the sleeping girl and peeked at her face. He gasped in horror and backed away.

"What's wrong!?" Tikki dashed over to Marinette to make sure everything was okay.

A sinister smile slowly spread across Plagg's face as he began to laugh.

"What?!" Tikki asked indignantly.

"Nothing," Plagg crossed his paws, smiling like the Cheshire Cat.

"Tell me!" Tikki whined.

"Mmmm... nah."

Tikki glared at him. "Plagg, if you do not tell me right this instant, I will make sure you never taste cheese until you do!" She clapped, causing a cage to appear around her fellow kwami.

"Sheesh." Plagg muttered, tugging on the bars of his prison. "You're just as nutty now as you were a thousand years ago."

"Plagg!" Tikki snarled.

"Fiiiiiine..." Plagg gave a long, drawn out sigh. "The thing is..."

Tikki huffed impatiently.

"ThatisChat'sgirlfriend."

"What?" Tikki leaned forward, genuinely oblivious to what he had said.

"She... is... Chat's... girlfriend." Plagg repeated.

"WHAT!?" Tikki squealed. "No, no. Marinette is dating Adrien Agreste."

"I rest my case," Plagg rolled his eyes.

It took Tikki a second to realize what he was saying exactly. When she figured out that he was telling her that Chat and Adrien were the same person, she was dumbstruck.

"There, I told you. Where's my cheese?"

"Plagg, this is serious!"

"Duh, I know. Cheese is the most serious thing in the world."

"Will you shut up about your stupid cheese?" Tikki made his cage disappear, causing him to fall to the ground.

"But I'm hungry!" Plagg complained.

"Plagg, Marinette and Adrien are dating. Their relationship in the real world could affect their partnership as heroes, as they could become distracted. If they find out each other's identities, which they probably will because they will be spending a considerable amount of time together, that could hinder their partnership even more, seeing as they are supposed to be professional, not lovers." Tikki ranted.

"I think you're over complicating things." Plagg yawned.

"Plagg!" Tikki snarled.

"I could fake my own death." Plagg suggested.

Tikki covered her eyes with her paw in a quiet facepalm. "Why is that your solution for everything?!"

"It is not!" Plagg protested.

"You almost faked your own death because Master wouldn't let you have any of that stupid cheese for a day."

"Hey! Cheese is a perfectly respectable reason for faking one's death! Plus you get to have a miraculous 'JK I'm not dead' moment."

Tikki groaned with frustration.

Behind their little argument, Marinette was awaking from her nap. "Tikki," she yawned. "Are you talking to somebody?"

Sighing, Tikki turned around.

"Marinette, I have someone to introduce you to."
