Marinette worked steadily away at her desk. She wanted to get her homework done before Cat came over for supper, and she could already smell delicious aromas coming from the kitchen.
But she couldn't concentrate. Instead of her mind being on history, her mind was thinking about her new friend, Toxinelle, er, Ladybug now. "Arrgh!" Marinette threw down her pencil, and Tikki looked up at Marinette with concern. "What's wrong, Marinette?"
"How did Toxinelle and Claw get here anyway, Tikki?" Tikki smiled gently as Marinette curled her knees up to chest. "Are you missing them?" her Kwami asked, gently. Marinette nodded. "Funny that we've only known each other a short time, but I feel like I've known them forever."
"You know, its very simple if we want to visit them," Tikki chirped. "You just unify Orriko and Fluff, and there you are!" "Cat Noir would never agree to it," Marinette said wistfully, and Nikki flew down to sit on her knee. "But your Ladybug, don't you get to make the decisions?"
"Its not that. They're world is more dangerous then ours. We think we have it bad here with Monarch, but the Supreme is a all-powerful ruler. Cat would go in a heartbeat if we could, but he doesn't want me to get hurt."
"Doesn't that give you anymore reason why you should go?" Tikki asked, softly. Marinette was quiet, thinking. It was her job to help and protect the people of Paris, and even though it wasn't her Paris, her friends would be there in a heartbeat if she needed them.
"I'll talk to him," Marinette assured Tikki. She smiled. "Now, back to history!"
When she sat down at the table that night, she noticed Cat was more subdued and quiet then usual. Could it be possible he was missing Claw, like she was missing Ladybug?
