Author's Note

English is in italics and if you want a mood setter I listened to Blink 182's First Date and Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend while writing thing chapter

Jason had a grimace on his face as Bridgette looked at him, "I'd rather stay here. Kathy's still not better."

The teenage girl narrowed her green eyes at him, "You will go help the akuma. This is an order from Luna Moth. Do you want to end up back on the streets?"

Jason just stared as Bridgette walked not waiting for a response.

Unfortunately the threat was real. The people working for Luna Moth, the children, were all runaways, street urchins, or orphans. All people easily manipulated by Luna Moth, ready to do anything to get off the streets and have warmth and food.

The Kwami of Obedience, Barkk, looked at him, "Are you okay, Jason?"

"None of your concern," the teenager harshly replied as he looked concerned down at Kathy, still asleep in bed, "I'll be back soon."

….

Nathalie smiled at Hugo as he came into the room but it dropped when she realized, "Emma's not with you?"

The ten year old made a face, "No, she's busy on a date."

"Crap," Nathalie muttered as she looked at the book in her lap.

….

Sophie glared at Emma and Iris as they walked hand in hand through the park making small talk. Her eyes narrowed specifically on their hands. While Emma may be okay with briefly touching people she was less okay with people touching her. Sophie knew that only family and Sophie herself could touch her without her flinching or immediately pulling away.

So, it irked her to see Emma so comfortable with Iris.

"Um, why are we doing this again?" Louis asked huffing.

Sophie glanced at her boyfriend. He had seen her after he had seen her following the couple down the street and followed her confused, "Your sister is still very fragile and I'm just making sure she is safe on her date. After her depressive coma and I'm being a concerned friend and all that jazz."

Louis blinked confused, "Date?" He looked from Sophie to Emma and Iris, "Them?"

"Yeah, them," the blonde commented raising an eyebrow.

Louis made a little face, "Huh, never would have guessed. But still…" he looked at Sophie for a second before shaking his head and looking back at Emma and Iris who were laughing while ordering some ice cream.

…

Emma blinked at Iris's words, "Wait, what?"

Iris glanced over her shoulder, "Yeah, Louis and Sophie are hiding in that bush."

The Agreste girl glanced over to where she saw two sets of blue eyes looking at them through a bush.

"Oh my god," Emma muttered annoyed and embarrassed, "I'm sorry. I can't believe they're spying."

Iris laughed a little before saying in crisp English, "We'll let's at least make it difficult for them."

Emma looked surprised at her.

The red head shrugged and explained, "My mother's actually from Quebec. English is my second language."

"Oh. That's cool. It's actually really refreshing talking to someone in English," Emma replied, "I talk to my friends from New York a lot but I'm also teaching them French so they can visit so I'm weaning them off English. "

They shared a soft smile as they continued walking in the park nibbling on their ice cream cones as they did.

"Still sorry Louis and Sophie are stalking us though," The seventeen year old apologized again.

"Are you sure Sophie isn't jealous or something?" Iris asked, finishing off her ice cream cone with a final bite.

"Here," Emma offered a lick of her cone to Iris, "and she made it very clear she was dating Louis. Not me."

Emma's date raised her eyebrow at her, "That really isn't saying she doesn't like you." Iris took a lick of Emma's ice cream then handed it back.

The black haired girl sighed, "Girls are confusing."

Iris giggled at that, "Though I'm surprised Louis is with her. Is he a protective brother?"

Emma shook her head, "Nay, he was always more protective and closer to Emilie." Her chest clenched as she mentioned her sister.

"Emilie?"

"My twin sister."

"There's another one of you running around here?" Iris joked till she saw the sad look on Emma's face.

"No, Emilie died,the same time as my parents."

The teens stood in silence for a minute. Iris reached to grab Emma's hand but was shocked when Emma pulled her hand away.

That's when the wave hit.

…..

Sophie spit out water as she climbed onto the tree she was in. She glanced around and saw Louis was drifting away on a bench with a few other people.

She wasn't sure if she was annoyed her boyfriend was terrible with keeping up with her or not. Urgency hit her as she didn't see Emma.

She relaxed a little when she saw Emma on a floating car with Iris.

Sighing Iris glanced at the flooding Paris and called out, "Tikki, spots on!"

….

Emma felt guilty as she helped Iris onto a building with people then faked tripped

"Emma!" Iris called concerned as she saw Emma floated further away from her.

"It's okay! Stay there!"

As soon as she was out of side sight of Iris she jumped onto the nearest empty building and sighed.

Plagg floated out of Emma's pocket and glared at the water, "I hate it."

"Plagg, please," Emma sighed as her phone started ringing. She pulled it out not looking at the id, "Iris, I'm fine-"

"Get over here now!"

"Grandmere?"

It was indeed Nathalie Agreste.

"Yes, and unless you're going to hold your breath the entire time your fighting the whale akuma get over here now!"
