Ladybug was annoyed as she pulled up her boyfriend up to the roof as Cat Noir was tackling the villain, the Flamed Baker, away from them.

"What did you do this time?"

Louis made a face, "I'm sorry. I was upset and took it out on Bastien."

"But Bastien is so nice! How could you?!" Ladybug scolded.

"Focus Ladybug!" Cat Noir called out as she fought the villain baguette to baton.

Ladybug sighed, honestly Cat Noir was always so serious. The most emotion she ever saw from her was anger. Cat Noir never really seemed to relax or enjoy the benefits of being a hero.

The hero in spots looked at Louis, "Okay, any idea where the akuma is?"

The Agreste boy looked over the villain, "Probably his apron. I kinda threw it at him when I fired him. "

8"You fired him?!"

"Ladybug focus!"

"He's so nice! Why?!"

"I was upset. And he dropped a cake and I was still upset at my sister and-"

"Doesn't mean you fire the man!"

"Ladybug!"

The arguing pair look over to see the cat hero being thrown into the side of a building.

"Yeowch," Louis noted.

Ladybug looked at Flamed Baker focus on them, "Oh, great."

Luckily for her though one of the other heroes came to the rescue tackling the villain into several walls.

Noticing the horn on the hero Ladybug smiled, "Thanks Oxdozer!"

Cat Noir picked herself up groaning as she did and waved to Ladybug, "Now!"

Ladybug nodded, "Lucky charm!"

Lights around her yo-yo flashed and a seat belt landed in her hand.

"A seat belt?" Louis asked confused.

Looking over the area noting the surroundings before settling on a lamp post, "Cat Noir!"

Cat Noir ran over to the post, "Cataclysm!"

"Oxdozer!"

The ox hero released the villain and threw him allowing for the lamp to fall on Flamed Baker and for Ladybug to strike and tying his hands to the pole to prevent attacks then Ladybug reached and yanked off the apron and ripping it realizing the akuma.

"It's time to de-evilize!"

Cat Noir groaned at this phrase and took out her baton looking at time. The miraculous reset took so long and she was hoping Hugo and Sophie hadn't gone up to look for her yet.

As she looked up she saw the baker was back and looked at Oxdozer, "see ya!" and jumped into the sky heading back home.

Ladybug sighed and looked at Oxdozer, "Pound it?"

…..

Emma sighed as she left the bathroom and was meet with a hug from Hugo, "Huh?"

"I was so scared!" the boy cried, "You weren't answering! I was scared you were having a panic attack again! You weren't answering my calls at all!"

That's when Sophie pulled her into a hug as well, "I was about to break down the door! Hugo was so worried when I came in!"

Damn, Emma knew she shouldn't have stopped to help that couple push their broken car on the way back, "I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry. I guess the attack with akuma agitated my anxiety." It wasn't a total lie. Sometimes her anxiety acted up during an akuma but usually Plagg was able to pull her out of it.

Sophie narrowed her eyes, "Okay, but tell somebody okay? We worry and we won't think less of you."

Emma wanted to believe that, especially with the gym stuff last week. But as she pulled away from the hug and look at the tears on Hugo's face all she felt like was a burden. She felt a pain in to spots and jolted and found that not only have Alice nipped at her leg but Plagg had poked her in the ribs.

Cat double team, great.

"Well, Alice seems hungry," Emma tried to change the subject, "And I bet the salads are to hot now, why don't we all make sandwiches together!"

Hugo nodded happily as whipped away his tears and went to the kitchen. Emma sighed and picked up Alice.

Sophie looked at the cat laughing as she started licking Emma's cheeks, "Alice is a weird name for a cat though."

The older girl shrugged and went to the kitchen, placing the cat on the top of the fridge so she could watch what they were doing, "I named her after a character I like from a TV show."

"What show?" Sophie asked, curious as she helped Hugo throwing away the salads from earlier.

"Once Upon A Time," Emma replied as she started pulling out stuff from the fridge, "She was one of my faves."

"Hmmm. Never seen it."

"You should. Its good."

"Wanna to watch it with me?"

Emma paused bread in hand and looked at her, "Huh?"

"You say it's good so watch it with me?" Sophie clarified, "I mean we can make it a weekly friend get together. Just you and me."

"A friend get together?" Emma asked.

Sophie nodded as she started cutting up tomatoes.

"We're friends?"

Sophie looked surprised at this commented and looked at Hugo would was busy looked at the mustard and mayonnaise debating the flavors, "Of course? What does that even mean? Do you not want to be friends?"

"No, I do!" Emma back pedaled, "it's just...is that okay? Is Louis okay with that?"

Sophie blinked and looked at her, "Your my friend and Louis gets no opinion on who my friends are."

Emma and Sophie softly smile at each other.

"Can you guys be mushy later?" Hugo asked annoyed, "I really want my sandwich."

…

Later that afternoon after Hugo went up the stairs to play video games, Sophie and Emma were sitting on the couch, Alice sitting across their laps as they sat shoulder to shoulder.

"So, I'm going to say you liked this when you were younger because the main character has the same name as you?"Sophie teased as she looked at the blonde woman on the tv.

Emma shrugged a little, "I did feel a connection a little to Emma Swan as a kid. Especially in the beginning with her being an orphan and all. Even tried to dye my hair blonde like hers. Grandpère didn't like that."

The actual blonde girl laughed at this image as the credits started rolling on the screen when the door opened and Louis came in, "Hey, ready to go get dinner?"

"Sure. See you later?" Sophie looked at Emma.

The other girl nodded with smile, "Episode 2 awaits."

Sophie leaned in and kissed Emma's cheek then got and exited the room giving Louis a kiss on the lips.

With a wave from Sophie and a nod from Louis the couple was out the door.

"So, you make up with Bastien?"

Louis shyly, "yeah, we talked it out."

They walked in silence down the stairs before Sophie followed up with a look, "And are you going to try to make up with Emma?"

The boy stopped in the stairs, "I know I can't blame Emma for anything. She was six. But it's hard. I'll try."

"That's all I ask," Sophie replied as she took his hand.

"Welcome back to Tikki Facts!" Tikki cheered as she petted Alice as the cat purred, "Honesty most pets don't like kwami, we steal the owners attention too much for their taste."

Plagg sat on Alice's head, "Yeah, but Emma trained Alice from a kitten to be her therapy cat. Alice is very well behaved and only gets involved or bothers Emma if she's worried about her."

"That's cool," Tikki noted as the cat licked her.

"Yeah, Emma trained several other therapy cats as well including her previous cat, Gabrielle," Plagg added as Tikki gave him a look.

"Does Emma name all her cats after her tv crushes?" Tikki asked confused.

"I can neither confirm nor deny anything, sugarcube," The black cat kwami explained.

The ladybug kwami shook her head and waved to the reader, "See you next episode!"
