Marinette and Bridgette walked upstairs. Bridgette closed the trapdoor behind her. She looked over at Marinette who was sitting on her chaise. "Marinette?" she questioned. Marinette looked up. "Did I do something wrong? Am I not a good enough Ladybug? Am I in trouble? Are you trying to seek out a new wielder? Tikki why are you like this and not like a kwami?" Marinette wondered. "Because you and Chat haven't revealed your identities and are slowly drifting apart from each other," Bridgette said back. Marinette was confused. "What? But you said we couldn't reveal our identities. No one must know. And how are we drifting apart? We still work really well together." she said. "You can't reveal your identities….to a certain extent. You see, we normally kept our Ladybugs and Chat Noirs apart. We never let them reveal their identities. Then one pair revealed themselves. And then it happened two more times. We saw signs that the Ladybug and Chat Noir at the time weren't close to revealing themselves. Suddenly, one day, Plagg and I became human. We went to the Guardian at the time and he told us that he had received something like a prophecy that told him something like this would happen." Bridgette paused for a moment to chose her next words carefully. "You and Chat are drifting away, yes. While not noticeable as heroes, you are in your civilian forms. As much as I'd hate to admit this Marinette, you're the one causing most of the drift." she finished. Marinette sat there, processing. "So why can't you and Plagg just tell us who the other is?" she asked. Bridgette shook her head. "We can't. Not by choice but we actually can't. Plagg's tried it a lot before and I've tried it once and it doesn't work. We can't speak for a day which leaves our wielder both upset and confused. We're here to give advice and guide, nothing more." she said back. Marinette bit her bottom lip. "One more thing," she said cautiously. Bridgette nodded her head, signaling for her to go on. "Adrien saw Ladybug come out from where I was. If he saw us before that then proceeded to see Ladybug come from there then me….he may have just figured things out," she said.

Felix sat on the couch eating some camembert. "Aren't you the least bit curious as to why I'm a human and not a kwami?" he asked. Adrien was sitting at his desk mostly staring off into space. "Not really. I assume it's just so you can take my place or something," he said. "Kid, are you ok? You seem a bit distracted." Felix chuckled, realizing that question was rather stupid. "Of course. I should've known. Thinking about Ladybug as usual." he said. "Oh, can it," Adrien said, turning around. "Besides, I think I just figured out who my lady is underneath the mask," he said. Felix sat up, intrigued. "Really? Well then you should tell her who you are," he said. He paused for a moment to eat some more camembert. "Just wondering, who do you think she is?" he questioned. "Bridgette," Adrien said, slightly lovestruck. Choking sounds came from Felix's direction. Adrien looked at him confused. "What? It all makes sense. I saw her and Marinette go off together. Then I see Ladybug come from that same place and Marinette a few moments after." he said. "Ok, but are you really sure you want to risk your secret? What if someone else was in there before Marinette and Bridgette." Felix said. "Then why didn't Bridgette come out with Marinette?" Adrien questioned. "Maybe Bridgette stayed in there for a little bit. She could've come out after you left." Felix said. Adrien shook his head. "You're not talking me out of this Plagg," he stated firmly. He looked at the time. "You should be heading off to patrol," he said. He turned around to face his desk and pulled out a book. Felix shook his head then transformed and took off.

Marinette and Bridgette walked into the school. They saw Adrien, Felix, Alya, and Nino all talking. The two walked up to the group. "Hey dudes," Nino said. Marinette saw a small blush on Adrien's face. Did he finally start liking her? "Hey," Bridgette said. "I can't wait for prom and college!" Alya exclaimed. "Alya, the year pretty much just started. Prom's not until May. You still have seven more months to wait. College I could understand though." Marinette said. "Well, Principal Damocles actually said Alya could handle prom this year. She even asked if I could help handle music and he said yes." Nino said. "Well I mean we're a team, partners. We're like the school's own Ladybug and Chat Noir. I swear, it would be amazing if Ladybug and Chat Noir went to this school." Alya said. Marinette and Bridgette turned to each other and smiled. Marinette looked back at Alya. "That would be cool. Imagine if you actually knew them and didn't know it," she said. "I'd be so upset with myself. Especially if it was like super obvious or something. Alya said back. "Also back to the subject of prom, can you maybe make me a fox themed dress, Marinette? I've really gotten into foxes lately. They're just really cute." Alya had somewhat of a puppy-dog look in her eyes. Marinette rolled her eyes and sighed. "I'll see about it. But I'm not making it until closer to May," she said firmly. "Yes!" Alya exclaimed. The bell rang and the group went off to class.

Marinette thought the rest of the day was odd. Adrien ignored Felix all day as well as most of the others. Except for Bridgette. He'd constantly want to talk to her and every time he did, Felix would seem to tense up. Another thing she found odd was that every time he'd talk to Bridgette, he'd blush a bit. Did he have a crush on Bridgette? No Marinette couldn't let that happen. It'd be too weird, heck it already was. But she also knew Bridgette could handle things on her own. Maybe Marinette should see what was up. She walked over to Adrien as he was putting his stuff up. "Hey, Adrien. I-I've noticed that y-you seem to be acting a bit today different, er, I mean different today." she stuttered. Why? Her crush on him had lessened but why was she still a bumbling mess around him? "I-I haven't. Not that I can tell anyway," he said, standing up. Marinette looked at him puzzled. "Really? Because you've been ignoring pretty much everyone except Bridgette," she said. He stiffened a bit. "Well I mean she's new and I want to get to know her a bit," he said. "Actually, I need to talk to her right now." He looked over at Felix and Bridgette who were talking. "Hey, Bridgette," he called out to get her attention. She looked over at him. "Can you come over here? I kind of want to talk to you alone." he finished. She nodded her head when suddenly Felix grabbed her wrist. The two seemed to be arguing. Marinette walked out and waited for Bridgette.

"Don't talk to him. Trust me." Felix whispered. "Why? Don't want to share your Sugarcube?" she whispered back with a smirk. "Tik, this is serious. Don't go and talk to him," he said firmly. "Give me a good reason why." she requested. "He thinks you're Ladybug," he said. "Well, technically he's right," she argued back. "He thinks you're his lady," he said. Bridgette glared at him. "Did you not tell him anything?" she asked. "I didn't get the chance!" he argued back. Bridgette sighed. "I can talk him out of thinking I'm Ladybug, well, his lady," she said. "Ok, but since he thinks you're his lady he's going to-" Adrien cut him off. "Felix cut the chit-chat, would you? Go check and see if Gorilla's here yet " he said. Bridgette pulled her arm away and walked up to Adrien as Felix walked by. "And shut the door please," Adrien asked. Felix did but Bridgette could tell it wasn't fully closed. "So what did you want to talk about?" Bridgette asked. "I know," he said. "Know what?" she asked. "I know that you're Ladybug.," he said. "What makes you think that?" she wondered. "It's ok you can tell me," he said back, ignoring her question. "Really Adrien, I'm not Ladybug," she said back. "I guess if you won't say, I will. I'm Chat Noir. I know you're my lady." he said. Bridgette was shocked then shook her head. "Really Adrien, I'm not Ladybug. I swear. I'll keep your secret now that you told me but I'm not Ladybug. I'm sorry that I did something that made you think that." she said. She walked out of the room. Adrien watched as she walked out and met up with Marinette. One thing went through his mind:

He had screwed up. Big time.

Sorry for kinda long chapter. And long wait. I was having a bit of writer's block working on the 3rd paragraph.
