"Can we go lay in a fountain?" Cat panted as he and Ladybug sweltered on a rooftop. "I'm going to melt any moment." Ladybug licked her dry lips, but they felt as sandy as a desert. Why had she not brought a beverage?!
"I hid in a fountain in the other with a friend," Cat confessed. Ladybug giggled. "Who were you hiding from? A mob of angry cats?" "No, my adoring fans." "I'm pretty sure we'd get in trouble, Kitten, but let's head over to the bakery. By the way, who was the friend?" "Nope, my lips are sealed. But good try, Bugaboo!"
The bakery was heavenly cool and Sabine hurried over as she saw their hot faces. "Go and cool off on Marinette's balcony, she has a hose up there and when your nice and cool, I'll make you a snack."
"Thank you!" Ladybug rushed up to her mother. "Oh!" Sabine hugged Ladybug happily, not knowing she held her daughter in her arms. To Ladybug, her mother and father were the most caring people in the world.
They headed up, and Cat located the hose, cranking the spigot quickly. Ladybug laughed aloud as he held the hose up high, showering them both. "I deifying the laws of feline behavior today," Cat sighed happily. "Normally I don't like getting wet." The shower soon turned into a water fight, and they giggled as they tugged on the hose. Finally, cooled off then headed down after Ladybug located towels. They had been there before, so Cat wouldn't be suspicious.
"Fresh milk and hot cookies straight from the oven. Help yourselves!" "My Lady," Cat pulled out a stool for Ladybug to sit on. Mama Cheng joined them, telling them a story about a hot day in Shanghai.
Ladybug munched her cookie, listening to her mother's story. Though the day might be sultry, she was with her best friend and mother, who were cool in every way.
