“Now that we defeated Lila-uhm Hawkmoth. What now?”, Chat Noir asked Ladybug as they were staring into the Eiffel Tower from where they would go on patrols, one last time.

“I’m not sure about that myself Kitty. Do you have any suggestions?”,

“Uhm-don’t take this the wrong way or anything My Lady, but it’s just been bouncing back and forth in my mind lately. Can we actually tell each other our identities now?”, he asked as his eyes lit up from excitement.

Ladybug turned her head at him, and smiled.

“I’ve been thinking about it too. Now that the threat is eliminated, it’s safe now right?”,

Chat Noir stood up and carried Ladybug.

“Are you finally going to show me who you are?! Is this really happening?! I must be the luckiest cat in the world!”, he shouted at the top of his lungs while jumping up and down, Ladybug still in his arms.

“Easy Kitty. The threat might be eliminated, but we still can’t risk anyone’s safety. So for our family’s sake. We should keep our identities between us only.”,

Chat Noir put her down, hugged her, and whispered ,”You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this moment, My Lady.”,

“I know.”,

Without any moment to lose, they faced each other, and de transformed.

“Spots off.”,

”Claws in.”, they said in unison.

They eyes widen due to shock.

“A-Adrien?!”,

”Ma-Marinette?!”, they yelled in unison.

“I-I can’t believe it. You’re Chat Noir? Really? I mean it’s not that-I’m just suprised is all.”,

“I’m shocked myself, My Lady. Knowing you’re the girl who was always clumsy, and was stammering around me, changes everything.”,

“Is-is that-that a bad thing?”,

“What! No, not at all.”, Adrien told Marinette.

They were still in shock, thinking.... “Should I feel different now that I know who it is behind that mask?”,

“Now that you both know you’re secret identities, isn’t it going to be awkward around your friends at school?”, Plagg interrupted them.

“Plagg, don’t be rude. They’re thinking about it. Don’t take it into mind Marinette, you too Adrien. But maybe you should both go home for now. You both must be tired.”, Tikki suggested, as the revealed wasn’t what they had in mind.

“Uh-yeah. We should go home, our parents must be worried. Plagg, claws out.”, Adrien transformed and left.

“We should head out ourselves Marinette. I know everything that happened today is very shoking, you should at least rest for a bit to take it all in.”,

“*Sighs* You right Tikki. The awkwardness that happened between us must’ve just been from the shock. Tikki, spots on.”, Marinette transformed, and left the rooftop as well.

\~Next Day\~

“*Yawns* Good morning Marinette, how was- woah! Did you even sleep last night?! What happened to you? Is this about the reveal yesterday?”, Tikki asked all worried.

“Yes, Tikki! Why don’t I feel any different?! I mean I lo-louebfj!! I can’t even say the “L” word! I mean I do love-yes! I did it! I said it!”,

“Slow down Marinette, what do you mean you can’t say love? Is it about that one akumatised villain you fought? Where you can’t say or look at Adrien for the whole day until you defeated “Love Sick” ?”,

“I think that’s exactly what was going on with me! There was probably still some leftover power in me! I must have not been fully recovered yet!”,

Tikki looked at her, and she knew she needed help.

“Can you call Adrien for me Marinette?”,

“What? Why?”,

“I just need to talk to Plagg. I just need to see if the same thing is happening to Adrien as well. The both of you did get blasted by the beam right?”,

“Alright, just don’t say anything unnecessary Tikki.”,

A few tries later.....

”Well hello sugarcube! Have you missed me already?”, Plagg greeted Tikki.

“There’s no time for flattery right now Plagg! Something is wrong with Marinette, I’m assuming the same thing is going on with Adrien as well.”,

“Yeah! He woke me up asking me all about love and stayed up all night reading romance novels! If that doesn’t sound weird to you Tikki, then let me tell you how he lost interest in Ladybug, I mean Marinette.”,

“That’s also the problem wit Marinette Plagg! I think it’s because of “Love Sick’s” power!”,

“That doesn’t sound right at all Sugarcube! Your “Miraculous Ladybug” should have fixed everything.”,Plagg excalimed.

“I know it doesn’t sound right, *Sighs * maybe we can talk about it in school later. They’re going to be late. I’ll see you both at school.”,

They hung up.

“Marinette! You’re going to be late-Marinette, oh, you didn’t get any sleep did you?”, her Mom walked in on her, thankfully Tikki heard the footsteps and hid.

“O-Of course I slept, it felt so good that I woke up extra-extra, early *Yawns*.”,

“Marinette, you can skip school today. It’s alright to have a little rest. Don’t push yourself too hard.”,

“I’m fine Mom, *Yawns*. Besides I wouldn’t want to miss our first day in the last week of school.”, she said and started to get ready.

“If you say so, still I’m worried. You can have my permission to go on trip with your friends once your vacation starts. You don’t have time for them lately, and besides your father and I are headed to London in about next week as well.”,

Marinette who was still unaware, agreed and proceeded to get ready.

“Tikki *Yawns* what was Mom talking about a while ago? Were we going to London?”,

Tikki, didn’t talk back about the permission to go with her friends on vacation and just reminded her that she was going to be late.

At school\~

“Girl... what happened to you?”, Alya greeted her.

“Long story Alya *Yawns*. And you don’t want to know.”, she replied and headed to her desk and laid her head.

Adrien walks in, Yawning\~

“Ooh, looks like someone also didn’t get a wink of sleep last night, Adrien that is.”, she teased Marinette, only to find a girl drooling all over their table.

Nino and Adrien sat on their desk, Adrien also rets his head on their table. Alya pulled Nino’s shirt towards her and whispered,

“Don’t you think it’s weird that BOTH of them, didn’t have a night’s rest.”,

“Don’t fret babe, Adrien told me he was just reading all night.”,

“Well that’s no fun story at all.”, she replied and let go of his shirt.

On class\~

“Adrien, Marinette! Sleeping in class is such an unacceptable behaviour!”, Ms. Bustier scolded.

“I’m sorry miss, *Yawns* it wont happen again.”, Adrien answered wide eyed and trying hard to keep awake.

“I’m sorry too Miss, *Yawns*.”,

Class proceeds, with the both of them trying their best to listen\~

“Marinette-girl, class is over. Nino, you wake Adrien up, I’m taking Marinette home. See you tomorrow.”, Alya said and assisted Marinette.

“See you tomorrow babe!”, Nino replied and assisted Adrien as well.

“Dude, stop dragging your feet! If your bodyguard sees you like this, he might tell.”,

“*Yawns* Don’t worry about it Nino. He barely even talks to Natalie, let alone my father.”,

“You might be right but, still I’m worried dude. Marinette is acting like you, if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re both hiding something.”,

“Don’t be silly Nino. Me hiding something from you, don’t be ridiculous! Uh-A-anyways, the car is here, I-uh gotta go! *Yawns* See you tomorrow!”,

“See you tomorrow dude!”,

Nino pulls out his phone, texting Alya

“Something’s definitely up babe.”,

“I knew it! I’ll squeeze out some answers from Marinette as well.”,

“Good luck babe! <3 “,

“Aw! Thank you 💗”,

End of messages\~

“So Marinette, what’s really up girl.”, Alya asked suspiciously.

“*Yawns* I told you Alya, nothing’s up. And also, you suddenly stopped uploading to the Ladyblog.”,

“Yeah, it’s just that. I featured Lila there once, announcing that she was close friends with Ladybug and all, I just feel ashamed of continuing to upload after it was revealed that she was Hawkmoth. Besides, now that she’s defeated.... I think Ladybug and Chat Noir would stop patrolling.”,

Marinette felt guilty and thought that it was maybe her fault the Ladyblog had stopped, though it’s still a good thing that all the superhero business is over for now.

“I’m sure they’ll never stop defending Paris from any threats. But I think they deserve time for themselves as well, being a superhero is no joke after all.”,

“You’re right, I’ll sure miss them. Also, you sure there’s nothing going on?”,

“Alya, I already told you nothing is up, but what do you think will happen to them if they stopped patrolling? Won’t seeing each other be weird?”,

“I’m sure they’ll have plenty of opportunities meeting “off work”, they must’ve revealed their identities to each other by now.”,

“Ye-yeah, p-plenty of times indeed.”, Marinette worried.

“Thanks for walking me home Alya! See you tomorrow.”,

“Oh, before I forget girl, here. Me and the girls thought this might be a place worth relaxing in.”, Alya handed a pamphlet where it said “Echo Creek” in the front.

“I think I should ask my parents first. I’ll let you know if they agree or not.”,

“It’ll be fun Marinette, I promise!”,

Inside Marinette’s house\~

“Mom, Alya asked me if I can go here. I think maybe-“, Marinette told them, handing the pamphlet to her mother but was interrupted.

“Marinette you should go with them! I already told you you’re allowed to go!”,

“W-wait whe-“,

“When are you going Marinette? You should tell me so I can ready some snacks for you.”,

“But-“,

“Rest for now Marinette you didn’t get a wink of sleep last night, you must be awfully tired.”,

“Yes mom.”,

In her room\~ *

“Tikki! What am I gonna do?! What if I leave then Hawkmoth.... right. But, I still can’t help but worry, what if something happens when I leave?”,

“Chat Noir, oh right. I’m sure Alya or Nino would be inviting Adrien. So Chat Noir staying isn’t an option either.”,

“I have you Tikki. I can just pull out a miraculous if I needed to.”,

“So are you going?”, Tikki asked excitedly.

“*Sighs* Well the threat is gone.... Mom’s right Tikki! I don’t have enough time for my friends like I used to. And maybe “Echo Creek” will be much more fun than what it says on the poster!”,

“That’s the spirit Marinette!”,

Texting Adrien\~

“Did Nino invite you to any vacations lately?”,

“No, why do you ask?”,

“Nothing, I just thought it might be a good idea for Chat Noir to catch a break too.”,

“😺”

“I have to ask what my father thinks first! I’ll let you know tomorrow My Lady!”,

“Watch the nicknames someone might read this if you aren’t aware.”,

“Yes My Lady I’ll be sure to delete it.”,

“Goodnight”,

“You too Kitty.”,

End of conversation\~ *

“Marinette, I can tell the conversation is very good but, your Mom is calling you.”, Tikki called out.

“Oh right! It’s just that, I think I finally have a chance to live normally now.”,

“I’m happy to hear that Marinette. Just don’t get rid of us ok?”, Tikki worried.

“Tikki I’ll never do that. You’re my friend. And I think without you here I couldn’t call it a new start!”,

“I can’t beleive your parents agreed! It’s just been so long since you hang out with us!”, Alya exclaimed.

“Yeah, I thought the same thing.”, Juleka added.

“Yeah Marinette! And besides* Whispers* this might be your chance to make a move on Adrien!”, Alix said while encouraging the others.

“I just want to have fun on this trip guys, just me and my girls. Making a move is the least of my worries.”, she blatantly lied.

In the inside she was panicking, she still had no answers on how to fix the “Lost Love” as Tikki and Plagg liked to call it.

“Come on guys we need to get on board already! We don’t have all day! Echo creek is waiting!”, Rose said to the others and pushed them into the entrance of the plane.

Everyone cheered, they were so excited to finally be complete as a group.

“Wait, I thought Nino and the others were coming. They might not catch up.”, Rose wondered as they arrived in their seats.

“They already boarded, there!”, Alya pointed to their left and saw the guys waving back.

“What about Adrien? I thought he was coming.”, Juleka asked.

“Nino just told me he will go, just up in his father’s private jet.”,

“Aw, too bad. Huh Marinette?”, Alix tried and tease her.

“Huh? Ah-yeah t-too bad.”, she answered without any care showing in her face.

Her friends knew something was wrong so when Marinette went to the bathroom, everyone started switching seats to get closer to her.

“What’s going on guys? Why aren’t you in your proper seats?”,

“Just sit Marinette. We all know something’s up. You seem lost whenever we try and mention Adrien.”, Alya explained.

She sat down and started to share what was bothering her.

“It’s just that, ever since I was struck with “Love Sick’s” beam, I started to question my feelings for Adrien. I started asking myself if my efforts were enough and if I should really involve my closest friends in trying and get his attention.”,

“Marinette, we don’t get “involved” we enjoy helping you. And don’t feel bad about dragging us into your little efforts, we choose to be there with you. So don’t even think about the fact that you’re wasting your efforts, Adrien just doesn’t realise how lucky he is to have you, but he soon will.”, Rose encouraged her.

“She’s right Marinette.”,

“Don’t push yourself to hard, we’re here for you, too.”,

“Rose is right Marinette.”,

“Thanks girls.”, Marinette hugged them and got all teary eyed.

...----------------...

Boy’s section\~

“You see that dude, that’s what you’ve been missing when you’re riding all alone in your father’s jet!”, Nino told him as he was holding up the camera for Adrien to see the girls chatting, and the boys waving at him.

“I know Nino. I just can’t convince my father to let me join you, I just hope he’ll agree for me to ride with you guys next time, or even let everyone ride in our jet.”,

“I know my dude, do you want to see the new game Max and Markov designed?”,

“I’m good Nino say hi to everyone for me!”, Adrien said and hung up.

......................

In Son Père’s plane

“Adrien, again I’m sorry I couldn’t convince your father to let you join your friends.”, Natalie apologised.

“It’s alright Natalie, next time just let me do it myself. Anyways... I’ve been meaning to ask you this.”, he fidgeted and looked at her.

“Go on Adrien, is it about your summer homework?”,

“No-no, it’s something a little personal. I mean if someone... let’s say, my friend have somewhat questioned his feelings for his person of interest, and wants to find out how to “rekindle” the romance... uhm-what do you think he should do?”,

Natalie was left speechless, she doesn’t know what she could possibly answer. But she remembered something from one of Adrien’s requested romance novels. She had the answer.

“Adrien, I might not be the right person to give “your friend” such an advice so let me warn you of the consequences it might have if he happens to use it.”,

“I know you wouldn’t joke around when giving advices Natalie, why do you think I asked you?”,

She was flattered.

“If you find this useless at all, please consider asking someone in your friend group who you think is qualified. But for me, to rekindle or “find the spark” once again, is to do something you know that person you love will surely find comforting or interesting. If that doesn’t work, do what you think that might surprise them! Suprise them when they are at their lowest or at least be there for them when they need comforting the most.”,

Adrien was stunned, he was absolutely blown away.

“Thank you Natalie. I knew I was right to ask you.”,

“It’s comforting to hear that you find my advice helpful at all.”,

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Natalie knows what’s up and wants to help find the spark y’all!

“A-Alya, is-are, are we in the right place?”, Alix worried.

They went out, only to see “out of this world” plants, incredible animals, and floating unicorn heads.

“*Deep Gasp* Look Juleka! A unicorn!”, Rose excalimed as Pony-head approached them.

“Yes I know I’m very beautiful, Ma’am. But please there will be plenty of time for me to be admired later! Get into the carriage and we’ll tour you around town!”, Pony-head said, in a very sassy, in a normal way for her.

“Pony-head, you might scare the guests. Sorry about my friend guys, and yes I know, Echo Creek isn’t what you expected byt at least tell me tgis much suprised you, right?”, Star asked them.

They were sitting very close together, since this place was the last thing they plan to see on their vacation.

“We’re so sorry if everything has a strong impression on you. We’ll get you home and you can contact me or my boyfriend Marco if you plan on continuing the tour.”, Star announced and headed to the newly fixed Mewni castle and handed them each a copy of their contact numbers.

“Thank-thank you. Miss Butterfly-“, Alya thaked her for getting them over there safely.

“No need to be so casual with me! Just call me Star! See you later friends!,” she said goodbye and rode off.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

To make things clear, Star already destroyed the magic, so that means Echo Creek and Mewni akready fused. Get ready to read their reactions when they see Tom... or Globgor.

They’re still demons after all.

...----------------...

In the girls bedroom\~

“Alya, how can you leave the information about... EVERYTHING?”, Marinette panicking, suddenly yelled.

“I know girls and I’m sorry. It was probably an old pamphlet, I honestly didn’t expect this either.”,

“I’m sorry for screaming Alya, I was just shocked because I never thought we would end up here.”, Marinette apologised.

“What do you mean “here”? Is where we live that weird? I’m sorry for barging in, I’m Marco Diaz. Star already gave you our contacts right.”, Marco overheard and went in.

“I didn’t mean to say that, it’s just that-“, Marinette apologised but was interrupted.

“It’s alright, I’m honestly not used to it myself. Our worlds fusing like this was totally unexpected for us as well. Star just did what she had to do to save everyone in her kingdom.”,

“Star did that? She’s like Echo Creek’s very own Ladybug! And you’re her Chat Noir huh Marco?”, Alya teased him.

“Ladybug? Is she a superhero?”, Marco asked.

“She is! She and Chat Noir are partners who saved Paris, but they must’ve disbanded by now since Hawkmoth was defeated.”,

“Their identities are a secret? How would you call them for help if nobody knows who they are?”, Marco got even more confused.

“Do you ever think about the risk that their families or close friends might get in trouble by knowing their secret identities?”, Marinette accidentally said out loud.

“Let me explain properly to you Sir Marco. Leave it to me Marinette, you know how I love sharing Ladybug facts!”, Alya excitedly pulled Marco out the room and start to look for Star.

“We’re coming with you Alya! Wait for us!”, Alix yelled then grabbed Marinette and headed to the boy’s room with everyone.

“You ready to head out Nino?”, Alya asked when she opened the door.

“We just got here babe, and how do you girls have so much energy when you were talking in the plane all the way here?”,

“We can still tour later tonight guys, you can rest for now. I’ll listen to your “Ladybug facts” later Alya. Star and I will come and get you.”, Marco explained then left.

“I can’t explain how all of this is possible! This breaks all the rules that we believed in until now!”, Max vented in disbelief.

“Easy Max, we can’t explain where Ladybug and Chat Noir’s power really came from, or how is it possible such power exist. Though we never question it since they are good people! That being said, we can’t explain everything that is happening now, and we can’t judge their appearances or practices just because it’s different. We just need some time to understand them is all.”, Markov calmed him down.

“Adrien has literally been asleep since we got here, he must’ve had the biggest shock since he doesn’t really come out that much.”, Kim added.

“Milene’s calling! Everyone get in here!”, Marinette yelled.

“Hey there guys, how’s everthing in there going? Did you find anything unexpected yet?”, Milene asked.

“Yeah, you-you could say that.”, Marinette hesitated but still ended up showing the “unexpected” scenery indeed.

“That place looks wonderful! I wish me and Ivan could’ve been there. Enough about that though, you guys must be resting just send me some pictures so we don’t miss out! We miss you guys!”,

“We miss you too Milene say hi to Ivan for us.”,

“Will do!”,

End of call\~ *

“How about a game while we wait?”, Kim asked.

“Sounds like a great idea, there’s a vending machine in here too so snacks is already covered!”, Nino added.

“While you boys play your little game, I think we should rest.”, Alya suggested followed by a yawn.

“Yeah, something just tired me out. Wake u sup if Star and Marco arrived!”, Rose reminded them.

“Sure thing girls.”,
