I enjoy Kim's character development from jerk jock to swim loving weirdo.

My plot writing process is 'If you have a really dumb idea, do it.'

"We're here! We're finally here!" The holder of the monkey miraculous was as excited as a little kid on Christmas. Through a school raffle, he, Nino and Kagami had won tickets to the local aquarium. Kim hadn't even known there was an aquarium in Paris, thanks to the now wasted efforts of one Max Kante.

Nino was more worried than Kagami regarding their friend's behavior. She didn't know him as well as he did and, therefore, was unaware of how risky it was to bring Kim to the aquarium. "Yeah, yeah, we know, man. Just tone it down a notch or two." Nino shook his head, while also chuckling at the athlete.

The trio handed over their tickets and went inside. Once in, Kagami grabbed a map while Nino spotted a bathroom closeby. "Keep an eye on Kim for a minute." the dragon bearer nodded and off turtle boy went to do his business.

He finished up and returned to where he left both of his friends. Only now it was just the girl. "Kagami! Where's Kim!?" "Quiet. Kim is right over-" Kagami's eyes lifted off of the map and towards where she heard their companion's footsteps go. But Kim was nowhere in sight. "My apologies. Kim ran off while I was distracted."

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Nino shook the girl by the shoulders. She responded by slapping him in the face as a warning. "What's the big deal? Kim may be somewhat eccentric, but he's old enough to go out on his own."

"But not where there's water! Kim brings his swimming speedo and swim cap everywhere!" Nino explained urgently, though Kagami thought he was exaggerating. "I think you're exaggerating." "He wore them to a funeral." Nino was dead serious, as dead as the guy whose funeral they attended. "And now he's off in a place with several massive tanks of water and sea creatures he's going to try to race against!"

The dragon wielder realized the amount of chaos the boy could create by himself. Not even his kwami could talk him out of doing something stupid, heck Xuppu encouraged it! "He could not have gotten far." Kagami crumbled the map and tossed it in a trashcan. The map exploded into flames upon contact. "What exhibit was he most excited to see?" she asked the turtle wielder.

Nino drew a blank. He'd been listening to music the way over and hadn't been paying much attention "Let's start with the obvious choice."

OXOXOXOX

The tank of Sea Monkey's was tiny. The size of a fishbowl. Nino and Kagami stared at it, knowing not even Kim could fit inside. "Nino-" "Yeah I know! But it was a good guess!" "And it was the right one, take a look." the girl pointed to something in the back of the tank. The soggiest banana either of them had seen. The insides melted out and floated to the top of the tank.

"That's Kim's doing alright. He was here." Nino confirmed. Putting his detective skills to work, he thoroughly examined the banana. "Based on the texture and amount of banana goo floating to the surface, I'd say this banana has been underwater for nearly five minutes."

"Oh yeah, that's about right." A staff member chuckled. "Weird guy in a speedo came by and wanted to feed his 'fellow monkeys'. Just tossed the banana right in."

Kagami grabbed the staff member by the collar of his shirt. "Where is he now?! Which way did the boy go?!" The man was intimidated by the young Japanese girl. He shakily pointed towards the jellyfish exhibit one room over. "Thank you." Kagami politely thanked the man as she dropped him. She and Nino followed the path in hot pursuit. "I think that was a bit unnecessary, dudette. That guy looked like he could've peed his pants." Nino advised his friend. "A worthy sacrifice for the greater good."

The duo had barely stepped into the jellyfish room when they witnessed all hell break loose. The unforgettable sight of jellyfish flopping around in the open would forever remain in their memories. The people panicked and kicked the jellyfish around, knocking them into others and shocking just about everyone. The hysteria was making the chaos even worse than it should have been. Kagami swung into action, punching the sea creatures off of people's faces and tossing them back into the water.

Nino, not wanting to be outdone by the dragon wielder, tried to do the same. He stepped on and tripped over a stray jellyfish, sending him skating across the floor. His screams for help went unheard as Kagami focused on subduing the little jellies in the most impressive way possible. Luckily for Nino, his trip ended when he hit a railing. Unluckily for Nino, the blow pushed him headfirst into a tank of jellyfish who stung him in the face. The underwater screams were muted in a foam of bubbles.

With an aerial kick, Kagami launched the last jellyfish off of some guy's head and landed it into a tank. The crowd applauded her for the heroics, while Nino finally surfaced from the water with a badly stung face. "I can't feel my face. I think I might be allergic to pain."

With all the jellyfish accounted for, an employee wearing a cowboy hat came over and shook Kagami's hand. "Thanks so much, miss! After that fellow knocked over the tank of jellyfish being transported, we didn't think we'd be able to save all of them." "It was no bother, but the one who knocked it over. If it was a boy in a speedo, where did he go?" Kagami asked. The employee shrugged. "We didn't see where he went. Reckon he might be anywhere in the aquarium by now."

"Great. Just great." Nino walked up to Kagami as the employee left. "Now we've lost Kim's trail. He could be wrestling a lobster or stealing food from a giant squid by now!" Irritated by the setback, Nino and Kagami took a breather in front of the manatee tank. Sitting on a bench facing away from the manatees, they failed to notice a speedo-clad boy dive in with the aquatic mammals.

"Do not lose faith, Nino. We will find Kim. Failure is not an option." Kagami sternly encouraged him. Behind her, a manatee swam up to Kim, and they took each other by the hand/flipper. The boy and manatee waltzed gracefully in the blue deep.

"No! No failure is an option! Chances are we could just go back to school and tell them Kim's sleeping with the fishes now! Not because he died, but because we let him into an aquarium and lost him!" Nino ranted, not seeing the underwater spectacular behind him as Kim and the manatee raced through hoops and lifted each other like a professional dance duo.

The crowd watching the tank applauded the show, getting the attention of the two Miraculous holders. They just barely glanced back before turning back around… and then they realized who that was in the tank! "BWAAA!" Nino screamed incomprehensibly and pointed at Kim.

The two rushed to the tank as Kim surfaced and looked down at them. "Hey there you two are! Been wondering what happened to ya."

"We've been chasing after you." Kagami crossed her arms, annoyed at Kim's nonchalant attitude. "Get out of the manatee tank and put your clothes back on."

"... I'm wearing a speedo." it wasn't much, but it could 'technically' count as clothes. Kim would have to wait to explain his viewpoint, for a giant squid fell through a ceiling vent and grabbed him.

Nino and Kagami stared with jaws hanging open, unprepared for the sudden turn of events. "Dude, what the heck is that?!" Nino shouted. "It's a squid." Kim answered, not bothered by his predicament. "I KNOW IT'S A SQUID BUT WHY IS IT HERE?!" Nino freaked out, while Kagami hurried off to find a harpoon. "Oh… it might be mad at me for stealing its food." Kim guessed.

"... I knew it." Nino muttered.

Kagami returned, but lacked the harpoon she had sought. "The only harpoons here are the toy ones in the gift shop. I will not waste twenty euros on a souvenir."

"Don't worry, I got this." Kim spoke confidently, though that confidence had the opposite effect on the other two. "That just makes us even more worried!" Nino yelled back.

The giant squid lifted Kim closer to its face. The boy smirked and let out a bizarre high-pitched squeak. The manatees responded to the squeak and charged the squid, pulling it down into their tank while their new friend was released, "Thanks fellas!" Kim waved to the mammals as they beat up the squid.

Kim hardly had his foot out of the tank when Nino and Kagami yanked him down. By the looks on their faces, Kim figured they weren't too happy with his escapades. "In my defense… I got nothing."

"Come on, let's-let's just go home." Nino pinched the bridge of his nose while Kagami shoved Kim's regular clothes into his arms.

"If we're heading back, can we stop for sushi?" Kim asked.

"No!"
