At the Césaire apartment in the living room. Alya and Nino danced in front of the television while Marin watched fondly from behind, next to him on Nino's phone was Adrien on videocall.
"They're so in sync with each other." Adrien remarked on the phone as he and Marin looked at Nino and Alya dancing in her living room, getting perfect scores every round they played.
"They play this game almost every day," Marin sighed, recalling every failed attempt he made at dancing at this game in particular. Luckily his friends didn't mind. "I'm just surprised that they're not joined at the hip already."
Adrien laughed at his friends' joke, "That could apply to all three of you." He remarked as Marin glanced down at his friend confused for a second. "You know, because you're usually with either Alya and Nino, you three are pretty close."
"Aww, we love you just as much Adrikins." Marin giggled as Adrien rolled his eyes.
"I wish you guys loved me as much as you love each other." Then Adrien averted his gaze for a moment. "You know some people thought you three were a thing for a while." He said, as he wasn't one of those people, totally not.
"Who thought that?" Marin inquired, "I thought it was pretty clear that Nino and Alya were openly dating."
"Yes well, some people, were thrown off by all the skinship, and the nicknames, and the cuddling," Adrien said but noticed Marin holding back his laughter. "Stop-"
"Awww, you're so sweet." He laughed as Adrien sighed.
"I do hope that someday I hope I'll find someone I can share everything with… like they do. But until my father starts letting me go out more often, that probably won't be happening."
Marin's expression softened, "Are you sure your dad won't let you come? We wouldn't mind if your bodyguard came along to the fireworks.
Adrien leaned back on his chair, resting his hands behind his head. "You know how overprotective he is. One day he'll realize I'm not a child anymore, but we're not quite there yet."
"Big finish, here we go!" Nino called out, as he and Alya finished off the song. Position in an Arabesque ballet pose for a few moments as Marin and Adrien clapped for their friends.
Suddenly the door closed as they heard laughter.
"Aw, shoot. Did I miss the ballet?"
Alya's previous amusement turned into displeasure as she spotted her sister. "Nora, is your match over already?" She asked as her sister threw her bag in her room.
"First round: total knockout, as usual." Nora said, walking to the fridge. "And I told you a hundred times not to call me Nora in front of people, little sis. The name is Anansi, like a spider."
Alya rolled her eyes. "Sure, I'll call you Anansi when you stop calling me 'little sis'."
"Anyway, what are you all still doing here this late? Don't you have school tomorrow?"
Both Marin and Nino avert their eyes as Alya stepped forward.
"We're waiting for it to get dark. It's the World Cup fireworks show tonight, remember? We're gonna watch from the Place de la Concorde Ferris wheel." She said with a smile on her face, clearly excited for the evening's plans.
Nora spot out the milk she was drinking. "Oh no you're not. Baker boy and Cappy can go with Cellphone if they want, but you're staying here. It's way too dangerous."
"But it'll be safe, we're going as a group after all." Marin pointed out.
"Yeah, no way we're not going without Alya!" Nino said.
Alya sighed at her sister, "Listen, I appreciate you worrying about me and all, but I'm not a little girl anymore. Besides, Mom and Dad are totally cool with it."
Nora shook her head. "There have been way too many Akumatized peeps in Paris these last few weeks. Look how many times you've been in direct danger just by going outside. So you're staying home, safe and sound, period!" She ordered as Alya grew more angered. Even though Nora had a point.
"That's so ridiculous! The twins were Akumatized right here at home!" Alya pointed out.
"Which would've never happened on my watch. I won't let anybody mess with my family."
Alya then crossed her arms with an unamused expression on her face. "You mean like the other day at the square?" As Nora averted her gaze in embarrassment.
"What happened at the square?" Adrien asked looking up towards Marin.
" Well… we came across a man handing out flyers for your perfume. Nora thought the man was Akumatized and wanted to turn Alya into a banana-zombie."
"How was I supposed to know it was some stupid costume? And besides, what would happen if the Ferris wheel stopped working 'cause some Akumatized dude refused to pay his fare? Once you fly-weights can actually defend yourselves like me we'll talk about it."
"I believe that running and hiding is the best defense," Marin said as Nora laughed.
"Right, and you think Alya would ever run away if there was an Akuma flying around?" Nora remarked.
"Nora, I can take care of myself," she said confidently while Marin averted his gaze for a moment recalling every single time Alya went after Akuma's for a scoop, and usually paid for it.
Nino then stood forward. "I can protect Alya if I have to!" She proclaimed as Nora started laughing so hard a tear fell from her eye.
"Oh yeah Cappy? And how exactly are you planning to defeat the villain? A dance-off?"
"I'd… do anything to protect Alya." Nino murmured under his breath as Alya glanced at him in worry.
"Please, even little Baker Boy over there could protect Alya better than you, at least he knows when to turn tail and hide, like a little mouse." She chided as Marin shrugged his shoulders, he wished he could run whenever an Akuma showed up. Alas, it was ingrained in him not to be a quitter, he thought to himself as he thanked his mother.
Nora mused for a moment, "Okay, Alya can go out with you guys if… you beat me at an arm wrestle."
"Please, don't arm-wrestle on my account. I don't need to be protected." She said as Nino stepped forward, but Marin grabbed his arm, shaking his head in warning as Adrien spoke up.
"Nino, you don't stand a chance against Anansi; she's way too strong."
"Dude, you are a stick," Marin remarked.
"And that's coming from a toothpick," Adrien remarked as Nino glared at his two friends.
"Dude!"
Alya glanced at her friend, reserved as she watched them bicker. "You guys go without me, if you don't leave now then you'll miss the fireworks." She said as her friends gasped at her.
"No way!" Nino argued as Adrien noticed Marin thinking for a moment before a smug smile drew on his face.
"Okay, Nino will arm-wrestle you." Marin suddenly said with a smile on his face as his friends stared at him in shock.
"What?" They shouted as Nora smirked.
"Nino will prove his worth to us that he can defend Alya and every one of us, because-" He thought for a moment. "Because… uhh, because love and, uh, friendship, makes you stronger." He said as Nino's eyes lit up.
Nino flexed his arms, a look of determination drawn on his face as he sat down at the table. "Yeah, thanks Marin." He said as Nora sat down before him.
Marin placed the phone with Adrien between them, backing away and standing behind Alya. "All right! In position. Ready. Set. Go!" Adrien announced as almost immediately, it was clear that Nino was no match for the boxer. He struggled furiously
"Really? Is that all you got?" Nora smirked as she enjoyed watching Nino struggle desperately for the sake of his girlfriend.
"She's gonna rip his arm off." Alya said as Marin removed one of his hairpins, holding it behind his back as he felt it being taken.
Suddenly, he gasped overdramatically, pointing out the window. "Over there, an Akuma!"
"What?!" Nora cried out looking in the direction but suddenly she wavered as she felt a prick in her side. "OW!" for a moment she lost focus as Nino pushed her hand down.
"And the winner is… Nino!" Adrien proclaimed as Marin held back his smirk, "Oops, my bad; it was just a pigeon." He said, but then grabbed Nino's arm who looked stunned at the turnout. "Come on, let's go. If we leave now we'll get there just in time-" He said trying to leave as soon as possible, but then Nora slammed her hand on the table angrily.
"You're a bunch of cheaters!" She said standing in their way as she towered before them. "There's no way I could've been beaten by that fly-weight. If I hadn't been distracted, I—"
"That's it, Nora!" Alya suddenly snapped. "You lost the challenge, so deal with it. I've had it with your overprotective big-sis-smothering. I'm going out with my boys and I don't care what you think!" She said taking Marin's wrist as he dragged Nino along, who grabbed Adrien as they all ran out of the apartment.
Nora gripped her fist tightly, then noticing a familiar hairpin on the ground, picking it up as her anger only increased.
At Place de la Concorde, Ferris wheel. Marin held Nino's phone as he looked up at how high the Ferris wheel was and promptly got cold feet.
"You know what, I never realized how high that the Ferris wheel went, you three go on ahead I'll just-" He was about to say but both Alya and Nino grabbed his hands as they entered the pod. He felt his just deserts as he saw how high they were going, sitting next to Alya as she in-between her two timid friends.
"Is it starting? What's going on?" Adrien questioned as Marin looked at Alya helplessly until she jabbed his side with her elbow, tilting her head as Marin then sighed. He stood, up, holding the phone to the glass as Adrien gasped in awe at the sight.
"Whoa! It's beautiful, thank you for showing me this." Adrien said as Marin grew more nervous the higher they went. "I can't believe how amazing this is." He said as Marin turned the phone back to him.
"Easy for the person safe on the ground to say." Marin sighed.
"Hm?" Adrien suddenly hummed as Marin looked at him curiously.
"What's up?" He asked, looking around.
"I thought I saw something-" Adrien said as his eyes widened in shock, "Marin behind you! I saw something go by!" He notified as Marin suddenly turned around, looking out the window.
"I don't see anything. Maybe it was a bird." He said as he stumbled when the Ferris wheel came to a sudden stop. Nino hugged Alya as Marin grabbed a nearby safety bar, both trying to find some stability.
"Dude, please don't tell me we're gonna be stuck up here!" Nino whimpered as Marin nodded in agreement.
Alya turned towards her boyfriend with a smug expression, "I thought you said you were going to protect us." She remarked, slightly teasing him as Marin gasped, looking down at a newly Akumatized villain.
"Over there!" He pointed out as Adrien gasped behind the camera, seeing a giant spider.
Alya immediately took out her phone recording with a bright smile on her face as Nino looked down, terrified as he could see how high they were. Uh, may-maybe you shouldn't film her, Alya? You don't wanna attract her over here."
Alya scoffed, "This is a new scoop for the Ladyblog. Where there's an Akuma there's Ladybug and Chat Noir." She pointed out as Marin looked around frantically for any kind of escape. But unluckily these pods were built for people to travel within safely, meaning they were locked from the outside. Meaning that there were stuck in there, if Chat Noir didn't show up, he'd most certainly be a goner.
"Uh… uh… I think my wifi is losing signal!" Adrien suddenly said as he turned off the call. Marin pocketed Nino's phone as he could only look down helplessly at the approaching villain.
Chat Noir raced across the city, attacking the villain just as she was about to punch through the glass of his friend's pod. She was thrown to the ground as Chat Noir landed on the ground next to her.
"Tut tut, didn't you read the regulations? No hands or feet outside the ride at any time, no matter how many you have." He remarked as the spider woman glared at him.
"You're the only one whose going to need a hand against Anansi!" She remarked as she shot her web goo at him, but Chat Noir evaded her attacks with a smirk. Kicking her back easily as they were easily matched in strength. He could easily evade her attacks, using his staff to close the distance between them when she couldn't. When she tried to grab his staff he evaded, following up with a series of punches and fake outs that slow made Anansi grew angrier.
Chat Noir chuckled, "As I recall, didn't the Anansi have a little trouble with black cats?" He remarked smugly as Anansi glared at him.
" Pesky vermin." She remarked, throwing a car at him. Chat Noir easily evaded it, turning his attention back to the villain.
"Is that all you got-" He said as Anansi then jumped up high, making her way back up the Ferris wheel as she reached the pod his friends were in.
"Hey! Get away from there!" Chat Noir demanded, using his staff to jump up as he heard Alya cry out.
"Nora! Let him go!"
Alya demanded as a fury started to brew in the pit of Chat Noir's stomach, seeing Anansi grab Marin who couldn't struggle against her grasp.
Anansi smiled mischievously. " Oh, I intend to." She said as Chat Noir gritted his teeth, grasping his staff in hand.
"See a bird now Baker boy?" Anansi asked as she gripped him tighter, enough for him to gasp at her strength."
" No...not really." He rasped as Chat Noir grew closer, hopping on top of one of the pods.
"Drop him, spider" Chat Noir demanded, but then regretted his choice of words as Anansi smiled a toothy grin at him.
"If you say so." She said flexing her multiple arms as Chat Noir grew panicked. "Go long kitty cat!" She laughed as Chat Noir chased after his friend, distracted as she grabbed the pod her sister was in.
Chat Noir ran on all fours as he extended his baton, luckily intercepting Marin before he hit the river, catching him in his arms. But then he gasped as his back hit the wall near the riverside, falling on his friend as he was winded at the impact.
"Chat Noir!" Marin said in worry.
But Chat Noir forced himself to smile as he pushed himself up, hovering over his friend's worried expression. "You keep falling for me like this and you'll make Ladybug jealous Macaroon." He said with a playful smirk as Marin then sat him, immediately hugging him even though his body still trembled with fear. Chat Noir returned the hug with a gentle smile on his face before then pulling Marin to his feet. He kissed the back of his hand flirtatiously as he smiled at his friend who still had a look of worry. "Don't make such a sad face my Prince, I wouldn't be wearing this costume if I couldn't handle getting tossed around a little." He remarked, winking playfully as he lunged back towards the Ferris wheel using his staff.
" What was close." Tikki said flying into sight as Marin ran towards a nearby bridge, hiding under it.
"Don't hold your breath sugar cube. Tikki, spots on!"
Ladybug jumped across the rooftops as he heard someone screaming through the air. Quickly, he used his yo-yo to catch Nino who had been sent flying, catching him in his arms. Nino was stunned for a moment before he yelled back towards where Anansi was.
"This isn't over spider!" He called out as Ladybug placed him on the ground safely before he jumped towards the Arc de Triomphe, where Anansi had built her web, having captured Alya, and threw Chat Noir towards it as well.
The two heroes glanced at each other for a moment before turning their expressions away.
"Looks like I've already got a catch." Anansi smirked. "You'll be next, beetle." She said charging towards him, but Ladybug evaded her attacks with ease, jumping back on to a car as he threw up his yo-yo.
"Lucky Charm!" He called out, and a candle fell into his hands. He hummed to himself for a moment as he evaded another one of Anansi's attacks, noticing Chat Noir's fallen baton sitting nearby. His eyes widened with realization as he grabbed it, and then Nino who came back for round 2, using his yo-yo to jumped behind some cars.
"Can you be a distraction?" Ladybug asked bluntly as Nino was stunned for a moment. "Chat Noir is disabled and I can't handle Anansi on my own without help," He said holding out Chat Noir's baton towards him.
Nino looked as though he were about to accept it, but faltered. "I'm no superhero. I couldn't save my friend Marin or my girlfriend Alya…but I guess I'm not strong enough." He said with a sullen expression on his face. Lifting it as Ladybug pressed the baton into his hand.
"Let me tell you a secret," Ladybug said with a gentle smile, " When you're facing a supervillain, physical strength isn't always the deciding factor. All I need is for you to make sure Anansi can't get Chat Noir's Miraculous. He can protect himself for a few minutes using his Cataclysm but it's a last resort, use this to defend yourself and distract her. I won't be long..."
"Oh, Nino, Nino Lahiffe." He introduced as Ladybug nodded supportively, using his yo-yo to leap away as Nino looked up in awe at the superhero.
Ladybug detransformed in the alley behind the Master's shop, quickly handing Tikki a Macaroon as he used the back door to enter the shop.
"Master!" He called out in a panic, "Nino won't hold off Anansi for long. She's about to get a hold of Chat Noir's Miraculous!" He said as Master Fu nodded, about to turn to grab the Miracle Box.
"We can't let that happen." He said, but stopped as Nino spoke up again.
"Wait Master, I just need Wayzz." He said bluntly as Master turned towards him in surprise, exchanging a glance with his Kwami, but then nodded as he removed his charm.
"Do you have someone in mind, Marinus?" He asked as Marin took the bracelet from him.
"Of course Master." Marin said with a smile on his face.
Chat Noir watched as Nino used his baton to defend again Anansi, holding his own for a little while until he was knocked away again, crashing into a car as Anansi turned her attention back towards him.
"You're like a cat caught in a spider's web." Anansi remarked as she climbed up her spider web.
Chat Noir chuckled nervously, "Technically speaking, spiders don't actually eat cats." He said, then suddenly yelped in pain as she grabbed one of his ears.
"Where did you hide your earrings, kitty cat?" She asked in annoyance as Chat Noir stared at her dumbfounded for a moment as he saw her face light up for a moment with Hawkmoth's emblem.
"Why didn't you just say so?" She snapped at the villain through their telepathic communication as she then reached for his ring, but was stopped as he cried out.
"Cataclysm!" Effectively stopping her for taking his ring for a little while, but he knew he didn't have long. Internally wishing for his partner to hurry up and save him.
"Hey arachnid!" Nino yelled out, panting with wounds covering his body, but still standing as Chat Noir looked towards his friend in worry.
"So you've decided to come back, huh Cappy?" Anansi laughed as she jumped down.
"All right, big boy." She remarked, cracking her knuckles as she knocked down Nino more and more, however, in defiance he still stood up, attacking her over and over again until he finally fell to his knees, holding Chat Noir's staff in his hands to regain his balance.
Anansi laughed at the sight. "I suggest you stay down." She remarked, walking closer as Nino pressed a button on the staff, which extended and hit Anansi's chin, stunning her for a few moments as she then grew enraged. You're gonna regret this, big time!" She said, about to barrage him with punches, but then Nino was pulled to safety, evading the attack just as Anansi cracked the concrete under her feet.
"Where did you go coward?!" She demanded as Alya and Chat Noir exchanged an uncertain glance.
Nino leaned on Ladybug for a few moments as he caught his breath.
"I'm gonna need your help again. Do you still wanna save your friend?" Ladybug asked, noticing all the wounds on Nino's body.
Nino simply nodded. "I'll do anything for her." He said simply as Ladybug held out a black box before him.
" Nino Lahiffe, this is the Miraculous of the turtle, which grants the power of protection. You will use it for the greater good and once the mission is over, you will return the Miraculous to me. Can I trust you?"
Nino nodded as he took the box from the hero. When he opened it, he saw a green ball of light materialize before him, transforming into a small turtle who smiled up at him. "Whoa, dude!" He remarked in amazement.
"Hello, my name is Wayzz." The small green Kwami introduced.
"Hey little guy, what are you, a genie like in those fairy tales?" Nino asked curiously.
"I am a Kwami." Wayzz explained, "I can't grant wishes, but I can give you superpowers." He said with a smile as Nino placed the bracelet on his wrist among his other bracelets. "All you have to say is: "Wayzz, shell on!"
"Wayzz, shell on!"
"So, are you and Ladybug fighting?" Chat Noir heard Alya ask as Anansi was waiting for him to transform back.
"Just a partners squabble. Nothing to worry about." Chat Noir reassured as suddenly, Anansi was knocked off the web by a shield. Chat Noir looked in shock as he say Ladybug bug standing next to a new hero who caught his shield as it returned to him.
"Change of pet? You replaced your kitty with a turtle?" Anansi taunted as Chat Noir's ears flattened.
Ladybug merely threw his yo-yo towards her as Anansi easily evaded it by jumping back on her web.
" Ha! Missed me." She mocked, but Chat Noir quickly picked up on what his partner was doing. Ladybug removed his scarf, allowing it to fall as his new partner tightened the boxing gloves on this hands.
"Are you serious?" Anansi laughed. "A bug-weight like you taking me on one-on-one!?" She cackled in amusement as Ladybug looked up towards her.
"You scared to win fair a square?" He remarked with a smirk as Anansi's laughter stopped. She grinned in amusement as she jumped back into the make-shift ring as Ladybug mirrored her actions. The two bumped mitts as Anansi smiled victoriously. "I'll devour you, li'l nasty bug." She remarked as the new hero used his shield as a bell, banging Chat Noir's baton on it as the match began.
"One punch will be enough!" Anansi said, but missed with no effort from Ladybug, punching one of the pillars. This kept up as Anansi kept missing, growing angrier as Ladybug kept silent, not even defending his face as Anansi kept missing.
"Stay still!" She demanded, punching the final pillar as she saw Ladybug smirk, backing into his yo-yo's wires that began to cut through the cracked pillars. She looked up at the falling debris for a moment but got trapped under some fallen debris as the Ladybug assisted his partner, locking his hands together as his new partner had an extra boost to jump onto the net, landing next to Alya as Ladybug kept pulling at the wires.
"Now!" He called out as the new hero nodded.
"At your service, dude" He remarked, but then backtracked as he saw Alya eye him nervously. "Uh, Ladybug. Shellter!" He yelled out, creating a large shield around all three of them as Ladybug tumbled away at the last moment to avoid the falling debris. He looked up in a panic for a moment as he saw his friends were covered in debris, but then sighed in relief as he saw all three were safe as Nino deactivated his power.
As Ladybug ran over to them, he mistakenly had his guard dropped as he was suddenly grabbed by an enraged Anansi, holding him up by his neck as she growled at him.
"I'll crush you like the bug you are!" She threatened as he could feel his breath thin, grasping onto her hands as suddenly Chat Noir sprung into action, using his cataclysm to destroy her helmet as the Akuma was released. Catching his partner before he fell onto the debris.
Ladybug coughed for a moment trying to catch his breath as Chat Noir placed him on the ground. The two glanced at each other for a moment as Chat Noir turned his gaze away. A sullen expression drew on Ladybug's face as he took out his yo-yo.
"No more mischief from you little Akuma. Time to purify!" Ladybug said as he swung his yo-yo towards the possessed Akuma, capturing it in one motion. Then opening it once more, watching the newly purified Akuma fly away. "Bye-bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug called out, throwing up the lucky charm as everything turned back to normal. Nora was transformed back to normal, looking around in confusion as Ladybug's, Chat Noir's, and Nino's Miraculous beeped at the same time. Ladybug watched as his partner turned to leave, but stopped for a moment as he noticed his partner lingering for a moment.
"Chat Noir."
He called out as he saw Chat Noir's ears twitch as he heard his partner speak up from behind him. "You're irreplaceable." He said sincerely, noticing Chat Noir grip his fist for a moment before running off on all fours. Ladybug turned towards Nino who was smiling happily, holding out his first as Ladybug reciprocated the gesture.
"Good job-" He was about to praise but then Alya popped up between them.
"Whoa, this is a first for the Ladyblog. A brand new superhero! What's your name?" She asked in excitement
Nino looked at her for a moment glancing at Ladybug who nodded supportively. "Uh…Carapace. Call me Carapace." He said proudly before dashing away with Ladybug.
"It was lovely to see you again Miss Césaire," Ladybug said as he wrapped his arm around Carapace's waist, using his yo-yo to escape as Alya smiled up at them fondly
"Shell off." Carapace said as he transformed back to normal. He removed the bracelet, placing it back in the box as Wayzz disappeared within his Miraculous. "Thank you for trusting me." He said gratefully as he handed the box back to Ladybug.
Ladybug nodded, "You did great." Ladybug complimented as his Miraculous began to beep. He nodded towards Nino who looked up at him in awe, then turned to go find his friends.
Marin handed back Wayzz's Miraculous as a smile broke out on Master Fu's face.
"Thank you Marinus, you did well today." He complimented.
"My friend Nino deserves some of the credit as well Master. He wielded the turtle Miraculous like a pro." Marin said as Master Fu placed his bracelet back on.
"Then you've chosen well." He said as his Kwami appeared before him. "I've had Wayzz for almost all of my life, he is very dear to me." He said as Wayzz rested on his shoulder. "If ever the day comes that I can no longer keep his company-"
"It won't Master." Marin said, interrupting him. "You don't have to worry about losing Wayzz or any of the Miraculous." He said with a smile as Master Fu could feel some reassurance from his apprentice.
Suddenly, Marin reached for his back pocket as he felt something buzz, realizing that he still had Nino's phone, he saw the caller ID read, Cupcake with a picture of his best friend with icing on her nose.
"Uh, I have to take this, I'll see you soon Master, Wayzz." He said, bowing his head slightly as he quickly left, answering the face time call from Alya.
"Hey! What happened to you?!" Alya yelled out as she and Nino looked at him in worry.
Marin chuckled nervously as he essentially ditched his friend, but it was for a relatively good reason. "I did as mice do, I found myself a hiding spot and left the saving to Ladybug and Chat Noir." He said. "Is everything okay now?" He asked as Nora then took the phone from her sister.
"Hey, baker boy." She said as Marin suddenly drew more nervous, recalling what he did to her. He thought she might yell for a moment, but instead, she sighed, "I did lose the match…and my cool. Sorry about everything that went down." She apologized.
"I'm not completely blameless in this Anansi, I was the one who messed you up." He admitted as Nora looked at him in surprise. "I helped Nino to win by distracting you. I'm sorry."
"Wait a sec," She remarked, thinking for a moment, "I saw one of your hairpins on the ground, how the heck did you use it to prick me when you were standing behind Alya?" She questioned as Marin laughed off his nervousness.
"This little mouse has his secrets." He remarked as Nora smirked in amusement at him.
"Alright, it's no big deal. You and Cappy proved that you don't need muscles to be strong." She admitted as Alya took her phone back.
"Hey, let's meet up at the ice cream shop, there are still a few hours left in the day." She said as Marin nodded.
"On my way." He said happily as he ran out of Master Fu's shop.
Notes:
- I don't know ballet pose moves
- Tikki helped Marin cheat, she may not approve but she's the ride or die friend
- Did I write Chat Noir and Ladybug to be sensitive to each other to the point where they can almost read each other's minds by picking up on social cues? Perhaps.
