Tikki worriedly looked at Plagg, "I can't believe they took off the Miraculous! Don't you remember the last time this happened?"

Plagg rolled his eyes, "Sugarcube, I doubt anything like last time will happen."

….

Emma knew she was staring at Sophie, but Sophie's red bikini….

Iris bumped Emma's shoulder smirking, "Don't stare."

Emma blushed and took off her glasses, stuffing them near Plagg and her ring in her bag.

"I mean sometimes you have to stare," Nina commented as she looked over at a shirtless Louis playing with Hugo and Alain in the pool.

"Gross," Emma committed as she guessed where Nina was looking, being nearsighted she couldn't see that far. Thank goodness in this case.

Zacharie pulled on his sunglasses as he laid out on his pool chair, "Sometimes I'm very happy to be asexual."

The girls all turned and glared at him.

"Just saying."

….

Sophie blinked and looked over at Emma, Iris, and Nina getting in the pool. She blinked a couple times at the black swim suit Emma was wearing. Damn.

Tsubasa nudged Sophie laughing, "You're staring."

"I'm not hiding it," Sophie muttered angrily, "She knows how I feel. She just won't date me cause of Louis."

At that moment Hugo and Alain jumped on Tsubasa in surprise and they laughed.

Sophie giggled too before looking around, "actually where is Louis?"

….

Louis wrapped the choker around his wrist and looked annoyed as he waved at the underpaid lifeguard and went into the hallway.

"Emilie?"

The girl looked at him disappointed from the corner she was hiding in, "Bridgette."

"Sure," Louis brushed off as he looked at her, "So, why did you call me?"

"Luna Moth is about to send an akuma to attack the pool," she explained, "she wants a little back up. "

Longg floated out of his hiding spot on Louis to look concerned, "Louis, there's a lot of people here." He narrowed his eyes on Bridgette, "Including Hugo and Emma."

Bridgette's eyes seem to lingering on the entrance of the pool, "Either I'll fix the damages when we get the Ladybug Miraculous or Ladybug fixes it herself."

Bridgette walked off and Louis looked at the pool wistfully.

"Louis, you can't do this," Longg pleaded.

"I'm doing this for Mom and Dad," Louis said as he followed Bridgette.

Longg glared, "Trust me when I say your parents would be horrified if they were here."

Sometimes Emma likes to wish she still lived in New York, at least there other heroes like Uncanny Valley and Eagle dealt with the villains. Emma got to say she was a little disrupted with quick she was to roll out of the pool dragging Hugo behind her when a,was that an evil chef?, akuma shot a lazer at the pool turning it into soup?

"Are you kidding me?" Emma muttered as she got up.

"Can I help?" Hugo asked as Emma started running away from the pool.

"No! Stay with Iris and Zach!" she called back as she ran into the building.

"I never get to help," Hugo muttered as he noticed Sophie running towards the nearest bathrooms, "Where is she heading?"

….

Sophie slid into the bathroom and shouted, "Tikki, Spots on!"

Then, nothing happened.

Sophie made a face then remembered where Tikki and the earrings where, "Fuck!"

….

Emma ran into the deserted hall and immediately called out, "Plagg, Claws out!"

Nothing happened, "Plagg?"

"Oh crap."

….

Iris was trying her best to keep dodging the lasers, not really wanting to be a potato in this very angry chefs soup. She glanced over to see Zacharie had Hugo with him hiding behind an umbrella and she clearly saw Nina, Alain, and Tsubasa with them.

She sighed and wondered what was taking Cat Noir and Ladybug so long. Then she slowly realized as she glanced at the no jewelry in the pool sign, "no, no, she didn't…"

Iris was immensely grateful she was near their bags and she ripped open Emma's bag to reveal not only to see a black kwami with a silver ring but a red one with earrings.

As she stared at the red kwami dots connected in her head as to why Ladybug wasn't here either, Sophie's bad excuses, why Emma and Sophie seemed so perfect together, and why Ladybug looked familiar.

You know most people would have been shocked at this but all Iris could say was, "Are you kidding me? Emma and Sophie are in a love square?!"

"Iris? Wait you can't tell anyone!" the red one started saying but was stopped by Iris's hand going up.

"Don't care. Won't say anything. Emma went left and Sophie went right."

There was a pause before the kwami flew off.

Iris sighed before she realized, "Wait, I meant my left…."

Emma groaned as she stared into space trying to think of what to do when. A red dot flew in.

"Tikki?"

"Emma?" the dot called as she flew over.

"What are you doing here?" Emma asked confused as she held her hands out.

Tikki landed and dropped her ear rings, "It's a long story. Help me out though."

Emma sighed and slide the earrings in, "I suppose. Tikki, Spots on!"

Sophie paced back and forth trying to think of how to go back and grab her miraculous when a black kwami flew in and stared at her.

"Sophie?" the kwami asked surprise.

"Wait, are you Cat's kwami?" the blonde asked.

The kwami sighed, "Damn it. Tikki's right."

"What?"

The kwami handed over the ring he was holding and said, "I'm Plagg. Mind helping out."

Sophie slid on the ring and watched as it turned gold, "Sure. Plagg. Claws out!"


Author's Note

thanks for reading and please comment.

So Zacharie is now the asexual icon we deserve and Hugo just really wants to help Emma fight at lest once. Monkey hero Hugo anyone? Also Louis and Bridgette are playing with fire.

Next Chapter- the kwami swap madness while fighting Dragonstorm and Mayuri.
