Emma handed over a couple of cat toys to Hugo as she looked at Alice and said in English, "Now play nice, Alice."
The cat meowed and jumped off the counter and followed Hugo into the living room to play with him.
After the boy was thoroughly involved with playing with the cat and Emma was involved heavily in her chopping the vegetables for lunch, when Plagg flew up to sit by the cutting board munching on some camembert.
"I'm not sharing my camembert with that cat."
Emma rolled her eyes, "Alice hates cheese your good. She might try to cuddle you though."
Plagg groaned.
Emma chuckled as she continued working on the vegetables.
"Seriously though, I can't believe Sabine gave away the box."
Emma paused at thinking back to that morning. Most of her spare time lately had been with her trying to find the miracle box and miraculous book. They had both belonged to Marinette before her passing and apparently are essential to protecting the Miraculous. Her grandmother had said most of her books had either been giving to charity or if design books given to Gabriel and Nathalie. Same with most of her nick nacks like the box.
Plagg had said he had spoken with Tikki, Emma still didn't know when he had time, and they had come to the conclusion they needed to find the book and box. Which had lead to Emma going to check out thrift stores and shops like that to try and find them. It didn't hurt that it had helped her avoid Sophie too, Emma was really trying to get over her crush and quickly.
But back to the box, "She didn't know, Plagg. Maybe if we're lucky Grandmère Nathalie has the book. For now we should just focus on the important stuff."
"Like you were focusing on Sophie's butt?"
"...I will take away your camembert."
"Just try."
…..
Sophie was not having any of this. She angrily went down the stairs, one goal in mind.
Tikki flew out Sophie's jacket pocket and stop her.
"Sophie! Maybe you shouldn't approached him right now! He seems upset!"
The blonde didnt listen though and continued pass her kwami and into the back to where Louis was glaring at the door mumbling about Bastien it sounded like.
"That was uncalled for!" Sophie said as she entered the room.
Louis made a face, "Sophie, you don't get it. You don't have siblings and you differently don't know anything about her and my relationship."
"I know I don't like my boyfriend hurting my friend," Sophie said sternly.
This caused Louis to freeze, "Since when are you and my sister friends?"
Feeling wise that was easy to Sophie. That night in the rain. When she handed Sophie the jacket. In her brain she was debating since they hadn't really done or talked in almost 2 weeks and she still barely knew anything about her. But still...she felt a connection to her and felt the need to protect her and comfort her.
"A while," Sophie finally answered.
The boy narrowed his eyes at her, "I don't want you to be friends."
That caused Sophie to narrow her eyes, "Louis, you don't decide my friends. I don't complain about yours!"
"This is different!"
"How?"
"Because she let go!"
That's when the door was broken down a flaming bagel.
…..
Emma set the grill chicken salad in front Hugo and herself before turning and placing some food in a bowl for Alice.
Hugo made a face at the food.
His older sister slide some dressing over for him, "it's good. Promise."
The blonde boy makes a face but began eating the salad.
Emma took a bite and took her phone taking a picture of her cat then brother to send to Nathalie. She was sure her grandmother would love these.
She then her a thud and made a face. Alice had looked up noticing but Hugo seemed engrossed in his good. She went to the nearest window and had to stare as she saw a man made of bread that was on fire ran after Louis from the bakery.
"This has to be like the 4th akuma that has it out for him," Emma muttered as watched this almost normal everyday occurrence unfold.
"Seriously Louis is turning into a regular Lila or Chloè," Plagg added from Emma's pocket.
"I don't get the reference but we should save him," Emma whispered to her kwami.
"I Guess."
Author's Note
So this took while. Again holidays in retail suck. Review and thanks.
I know have set up a tumblr that also have a rough picrew creation of what the Agreste kids look like if you want to check it out. Link on my profile.
Also each 3 chapters minus the Plagg Prologue is technically one episode.
Anyway, next chapter Ladybug and Cat Noir save Louis while being snarky.
