Sophie overall was having a good time dancing with Emma. She was smiling brightly as Emma twirled her around the dance room happily.
Too bad it had to end and it ended with a loud bang as from the balcony area Rowdy, the dog villain, and Shepherd, the sheep villain, landed looking absolutely pissed.
That wasn't the most shocking part though the shocking part was when a giant black jaguar, an angry looking giant ladybug, and Mayura with wings came down to join them.
Sophie and Emma both stared in shock, Mayura was alive? It was the same woman too! Its wasn't like with the new Ladybug and Cat Noir! They were clearly different people. This was the exact same woman. And she was fighting the villains? This was so confusing.
But Emma and Sophie both could feel their kwamis squirm as they hear the noises. Though they both don't want to leave each other, they want to protect who they think is helpless. But alas they also know that their superhero identities were needed.
So, as the people around them started rushed they slowly separated. And any other time this would have lead to the girls being able to get away and transform. But, this wasn't one of those times.
As Sophie was slipping away and about to lose sight of Emma, she saw Emma also heading towards an exit. But then Wukong, the monkey villain, appeared from nowhere and grabbed her from behind.
"Emma!" Sophie yelled running over to her.
Emma struggled in Wukong's grasp kicking in the shins several times and even knocking her head back into his nose a few times, but Emma's realized it was not as effect as she usually would since she currently didn't have her superpowers.
It did pissed off Wukong though as he gave her a hard hit to the back of the head, not enough to knock her out but enough to disorient her, " Calm the hell down girl."
Sophie glared at the villain, "Let her go!"
Wukong laughed at her as he placed his staff underneath Emma's neck, "That's up to Mayura there."
The blonde girl turned was surprised that Mayura's amoks had stopped their attacks as Mayura stared in shock at Wukong and Emma.
"Give us the Miraculous or he breaks her neck!" Shepherd explained.
"She has nothing to do with this," Sophie cried as she saw Emma gain more awareness about what was happening and started struggling again, but Emma couldn't escape the villain's grasp.
"Considering who her grandparents are that's far from true," Rowdy commented snarkily.
Shepherd ignored the others and looked at Mayura again. "Your Miraculous or your granddaughter? Pick."
The room froze as Emma's shocked green eyes landed on the grief stricken purple-pink of Mayura's.
The two amok's disappeared as Mayura sat on the floor, "Your worst villains than I ever was. Dusuu, fall my feathers."
And just like that Nathalie Agreste was in Mayura's place and the remaining party goers were freaking out at this revelation. Sophie watched as Emma's eyes started to water and her breath started picking up, she was having a panic attack. Oh no.
Nathalie whispered to her kwami as Shepherd walked over and helped out his hand.
With a tiny hug between the two Nathalie handed over the Miraculous to the villain. Shepherd nodded to Wukong who released Emma.
Sophie immediately ran over to the freaking out girl as she hugged her telling her it will be okay. When the blonde looked up the villains had disappeared leaving a distressed Nathalie sitting on the floor her eyes looking at Emma. The girl was just staring ahead at her grandmother in shock.
….
Bridgette smiled as she looked at the peacock Miraculous in her hand, "Finally."
...
Chloé looked at her daughter who still was sitting with her arm around Emma at the stairs near the entrance of the hotel, " I called Sabine and Tom. There on their way to come get Emma. Is she any better?"
Sophie made a so-so motion with her hand. The mother and daughter were sitting outside and had been ever since they were cleared by the police earlier. They were still talking with Nathalie inside and would probably before a while. Emma had not recovered at all from her hostage situation or from learning her grandmother was a freakin' supervillain thus the two had decided to sit with her tell her grandparents arrived to take her home.
"Still can't believe Nathalie though," Chloé muttered to herself.
Unfortunately the Agreste girl had heard her and stiffened more at those words. Sophie glared at her mom and for once her mom looked sheepish.
"Um, I'm going to go call Kagami and a few others," the mother said as she left.
Sophie sighed and looked up trying to come up with something to say to the older girl. Their really wasn't anything she could say. She was held hostage, her life was threatened, and she learned her grandma was a supervillain terrorist for a time. Merry Christmas?
As the blonde noticed above her and Emma was a tiny plant, something she had seen featured in a lot of movies, "Mistletoe?"
It was Mistletoe.
Sophie nudged Emma's shoulder and got her attention as she motioned up, "Look, mistletoe. Glad I avoided Arthur on my way in. Wouldn't want to kiss him."
Emma blinked as if coming out of a daze then leaned forward.
Before Sophie knew it Emma's lips were on Sophie's.
Emma was not a stranger to kissing, she had girlfriends before and even a boyfriend and Sophie had had 2 boyfriends before Louis. But this was the first time either of them felt a strange tingle and spark from a kiss.
The confused girls learned back as Emma looked away and muttered, "Mistletoe."
"Mistletoe," Sophie agreed awkwardly as she moved a hand up to her lips. Oh god she kissed her boyfriend's sister. She shook her head and looked at Emma, "I'm sorry you had to go through all this tonight."
The Agreste girl looked to the ground, "I am too."
The Ladybug hero wrapped her arms around the crying girl, placing her head on Emma's shoulder. That's how they stayed till Chloé arrived back with Tom and Sabine to take Emma home.
….
Later that night despite their phones going off from their friends checking on them, despite their kwami worried whispers to them, despite their legal guardians being loudly on the phone with police officers and friends, despite the fact they should be focusing on Luna Moth, the thieves, and the Mayura problem, the two heroes laid on their backs hands touching their mouths as they thought back to the spur of the moment mistletoe kiss and wondered why it felt so right.
"Welcome to Tikki Facts!" Tikki singed as she and Plagg danced together, "Sophie has actually been coming to these since she was 8, her family asks her to and Arthur has been hitting on her since she was 12."
"I hate Arthur as much as I hate Félix," Plagg muttered as he twirled Tikki around, "I'm glad Emma chose to avoid these things as a kid, said too many people agitated her anxiety."
The red kwami raised an eyebrow at that, "why did she come tonight then?"
Plagg smirked and Tikki got it.
"Sophie," they laughed together.
Tikki and Plagg finished their dance and waved to the readers, "see ya next episode."
Author's Note
If I have the excuse I'm going to do a mistletoe kiss. Enough said. Also this to way to long to write. Anyway, this is also in my mind were the ending would change as we can from happy fun to all the gloom and angst I have planned. New ending song would be Madonna's Joan of Arc Though. Next Episode: Episode 7 Regret- Emma and Sophie deal with the fall out from the Christmas Party.
Review and thanks for reading!
