Emma and Adrien were busy playing Wii sports out in the living room. Emma's Mii was Turg from her favorite YouTuber, CallMeKevin but of course she had to add cat ears. Adrien just used Marinette's Mii but changed the height all the way down. Thinking it was funny that Marinette had her Mii in the tall category in the first place.

He also changed Marinette's Mii's name from Mom, to Shortcake. Emma laughed as her mom hated when people made of her height, a trait that Emma inherited. Emma was short for her age but was hoping that she would grow soon since she didn't want to be a nightlight as a munckin cat. Even if they were a super adorable cheek squishable, short-legged, fluffy balls of fur. They looked more like a stuffed toy compared to the idols the Egyptian's worshipped. Emma wanted to be worshipped as attention was her second favorite thing. Food and Charlotta being tied for first.

Emma's remote slipped from her hand crashing into the television. "Welp... I guess ten years is long enough." She stated sure that her mom would kill her for breaking the television. As this wasn't her first time breaking one. Main reason why she wasn't allowed to have a television in her room.

"I'll take the blame." Adrien said not wanting Emma to get in trouble even if it would risk him going back to Alya and Nino's.

"Nah, this is like my fourth or fifth one."

"You have broken five TVs?"

"Well, yah. Haven't you?"

"Of course not."

"You should try it sometime."

Plagg couldn't resist cackling as Emma was as destructive as ChatNoir and the best part she was nonchalant about it.

"IS THAT PLAGG?!" Emma excitedly yelled as she had briefly seen Plagg but hadn't spoken to him. Emma then started throwing couch cushions looking for the kwami's hiding spot. If that didn't work she had a plan B. Which was more of a Plan C since that was the letter in which the bait began with.

"Don't make the apartment a mess!" Adrien said trying to pick up after Emma who had one goal and nothing was going to stop her from achieving it.

Emma cuffed her hands together. "Plagg! Here kitty, kitty!"

Plagg popped out from his hiding place. His head twitching exactly like his red counterpart. "Don't patronize me, Adrien spawn. I am the kwami of destruction."

"Nah, your the president of the itty bitty kitty committee." She patted the pent up ball of rage on his head with her index finger.

Adrien could help but to laugh as Plagg had a Napeloen Complex. Plagg glared at his so called best friend. "If I was you I wouldn't be laughing, Kid."

"Come on, Plagg. She's not wrong."

"You know she knows your ChatNoir. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SCREWED if Marinette finds out. She let it slip earlier what if Marinette actually starts to believe her? I mean its Marinette she probably won't but there's always that what if?"

"Emma, you won't tell your mom, right?" Adrien asked.

"I love mommy to bits but she's pretty lost when it comes to stuff like this. Like how many guys in Paris have green eyes and blonde hair that likes puns?"

"Its not really nice calling your mom dumb."

"Thats not what I said and who you calling dumb? At least she knows who Ladybug is."

"The new one? How? Why? Nevermind I don't think I want to know. She's not her. My Ladybug was amazing!" He lit up as he finally had someone to tell his adventures to. "She could save the day with a bicycle spoke or a fork. She's not as reckless as this new superhero who pales in comparison."

"THERE THE SAME LADYBUG! You stupid trunip." Emma said waving her hands hoping that would get the point across.

"HA!" Plagg couldn't hold his later and under his breath he mumbled "Even a child is smarter then you."

"They're are not."

"They're so!"

As the two argued like children Luka came to see what the ruckus was all about. "What are you two on about?"

"Whether Ladybug is Ladybug." Emma explained knowing that Luka knew she was right. "What do you think, Papa?"

"Simple, it's not her."

"WHAATTT?!" Emma screeched. She didn't understand why her Papa was covering the truth. Its not like it would make a difference if ChatNoir knew Ladybug was the same Ladybug.

"Emma." Luka said as he looked at the smashed television on the floor.

"I SORRY!"

"You're not aloud to video call Charlotta for a week." Luka had two things that he could use as punishment for Emma. Prevent her from spending time with Charlotta or no dessert both in which Emma would do anything to be forgiven.

"THAT'S NOT FAIR!"

"Get a trash bag and a dust pan and I'll shorten it."

Emma rushed off looking for the items. She thought they were left in one of the bathrooms or maybe in the sewing room to sweep up scraps.

Luka pinched the bridge of his nose. "I swear I'm going to get high blood pressure because of this family."

"You don't like it you can leave anytime you want. You don't have blood ties."

"Brave words coming from a man bumming on his FRIEND'S couch."

"Sorry, maybe I'm just irritated. Its kinda not really fair." He slumped on the couch.

"That you don't get rewarded for being ChatNoir?"

"YOU KNOW?"

"Ya, I've know for a few months. And can honestly say that you deserve this."

"What?"

"Do you genuinely think you haven't done anything wrong?"

"If have I sincerely apologize. I know I said the thing about blood ties. I'm going through things and its not right for me to take it out on you when your being generous."

Luka smacked the back of Adrien's head. Hoping to knock some sense into him. "OW! What was that for?" As Luka had punched him once before when he was daylighting as ChatNoir. Then he recalled the time that Marinette had smacked him. "Why does everyone insist on hitting me? I apologized didn't I?"

Luka felt like he needed to father, Adrien even if they were close to the same age and Adrien was crushing on his fiancée. He wanted to tell Adrien that his behavior then and now isn't acceptable. He wasn't a child anymore nor had the backing of his real father. This was man to man.

"Several times but words are never going to be enough. You need to show with your actions that your capable of being forgiven. Showing up in the middle of the night begging for comfort isn't okay. And siding with Hawkmoth? Wanting to steal the Miraculouses for personal gain? Are you trying to dig a deeper hole for yourself? "

"I don't understand why you don't support me. I figured I could use the Miraculouses to bring my Ladybug back. Then you could stay with Marinette and everyone would be happy."

"What if in that time Marinette chooses you over me? Then Ladybug comes back? Are you that selfish?"

"Why would she ever choose me over you? Are you and Marinette having problems?"

"My questions are theoretical. She wouldn't actually choose you over me. I mean your the root cause of her trauma."

"At the time I thought I was doing the right thing. At least for me but I know it was wrong and I shouldn't of crossed that line. I know she'll never forgive ChatNoir but as Adrien I haven't done anything wrong."

"You'll get yourself in trouble if you keep pretending that you aren't ChatNoir and Adrien. Two sides to the same coin. Even if one side is corroded the coin is still considered damaged."

"I don't know what to do. I know you're right, I'm destructive. Maybe, it's my cruse to bare. Never being able to be happy." He said fiddling with the silver ring around his finger.

"Don't you know happiness is a choice? You don't have to wallow in self-pity but you can't expect people to forgive you."

"Easy to say when your living the life I want."

"You can still have something similar. Not with Marinette of course but there's definitely someone out there for you."

"I don't think so. I don't fall for women easily. The ones I have are either dead, engaged, or gay."

"Thats rough buddy." Luka said unintentionally referencing one of his favorite shows to watch with Emma. Him and his sister took her to a comic convention as a reward for turning six.

Juleka dressed as Azula while he dressed as Zuko. Emma dressed up as Aang in his fire nation attire with the added a super glittery gold cat ears. Emma had deduced that the combination of the Avatar and a cat would be "caviar." She told many people that she was "The Caviar." Which was fish eggs but Luka wasn't going to correct her.

"You could go bar hopping with Kim to get your mind off of the things." Luka suggested as Kim had recently divorced from his second wife.

"Because alcohol would really solve my problems."

"No, but waking up in a different environment not knowing how you got there certainly helps clear the mind."

"Are you speaking from experience?"

"I may have woken up in a penguin enclosure in a random zoo in Georgia. While I was touring the states. I had to track my ass back to New York. That's when I knew I didn't want life and wanted to move back to Paris."

"You had an epiphany with penguins?! That sounds amazing!" Adrien wasn't sure how Luka would be able to break into a zoo and a enclosure without a Miraculous. It was quite a feat.

"I guess you can word it like that."
