Ladybug opened her mouth for a moment as if she was about to say something while staring at Chat, but then looked down at Gabriel and decided not to. Chat dropped his lucky charm to the ground as his body froze. He knew he shouldn't try to justify with his father there, as if he said anything wrong he would expose himself.

"Let's go Cat Noir," Ladybug said attempting to sound as if nothing happened.

"Ok, I'll help you. One-second let me go get something," Chat said while he turned around to go to his room. Chat grabbed a fencing helmet from his closet to use to hide his father's identity. "Here M'lady," Chat said while running out of his room and handing the helmet to Ladybug.

"Good idea," Ladybug said while bending over to put the helmet on Gabriel while trying to keep him secured on the ground. "Okay, let's go," Ladybug said enthusiastically while gesturing Chat to come and help her.

"Okay, let's go," Chat said with a calm smile while helping Ladybug lift Gabriel off of the ground and securing Gabriel's hands with a couple zip ties behind his back. Ladybug opened the door to the Agreste mansion and they both put their arms under his arms to pick him up and bring him to the police department. Chat used his stick with his free arm to catapult them through the air to get to the police station quicker. Chat and Ladybug didn't say a word to each other during their journey, but Gabriel talked on and on about how this wasn't the end and he would be freed sooner or later to take their Miraculous's once and for all. Chat and Ladybug just laughed at him. Once they arrived they told the police that they had caught Hawkmoth, and that his identity needed to be classified, and that they needed to do everything they could to not let it get on the media. The police agreed to keep his identity as secret and excused them to leave. They felt hesitant to leave, but they knew they had to.

Chat opened the door for Ladybug as they left the police station and said, "M'lady, I hope you didn't get the wrong idea in there, I promise you Adrien only gave me the lucky charm for good luck."

"Okay, I believe you," Ladybug said as she went in for a hug, but pulled back hesitantly and said, "so what do we do now?"

"We can do anything, M'lady! We finally saved Paris!" Chat said smiling, but although he was overjoyed they finally caught Hawkmoth, he had lost his father, for real this time, and that was a pain that would not go away no matter what they did. Chat was unsure about everything, from where he would live to his future.

"What do you wanna do first! We could go to Australia, and go surfing, we don't have any responsibilities!" Ladybug said with enthusiasm looking at the world as if it was new. Suddenly it started pouring, and they both laughed looking up at the rain.

"One-second M'lady," Chat said running to the outside of the police station and grabbing an umbrella from a basket. At the top of the steps outside of the police station, Chat held out an umbrella to give to Ladybug, just like the first time with Marinette. She reached out to grab it, and as their hands reached out, she pulled hers back, and then hesitantly grabbed it from his hand. Then her eyes widened admiringly. Chat's heart started racing as he realized that she realized that he was Adrien, and although this thought was scary, he couldn't help but smile. He didn't want to hide it anymore, there was no need to!

"Adrien?" Ladybug said gazing at Chat. He could see all of the pure emotions she wasn't scared to show through her sky blue eyes. Chat didn't want to deny it, he didn't want to lie to her anymore, so without saying anything, Chat hugged Ladybug and then shamelessly pulled back and kissed her in the rain. He felt his cold fingers interlocking with hers as he pulled her closer, and heard her drop the umbrella as they kissed like it was the first time. He felt joy and warmth rush through his veins and he swore he could feel her heart beating at the same rhythm as his own.

"Yes, M'lady?" Chat said pulling back with a flirtatious smile. She smiled back and wrapped her arms around him and then kissed him again, but this time for not as long as they both noticed they had an audience circled around them, all pointing their phone cameras towards them. They at first looked alarmed, but then looked at each other and laughed while Chat wrapped his arms around her and launched them onto a rooftop. "Are you ready to start a new chapter M'lady?"

"It's about time," Ladybug said giggling, but then a more serious face emerged replacing her smile. "Adrien, what are you going to do now with your father in jail?"

"I don't know Marinette, it's going to be a lot different. Maybe I'll buy an apartment and move off on my own, or move in with Natalie somewhere. I'm almost an adult, I don't see why I couldn't just live alone."

"Well until you figure it out you can spend as much time as you want at my house, just don't let anyone see you! I don't think it's a good idea to risk our identities yet. Let's go!" Ladybug said with no explanation, wrapping her arm around Chat to carry him to her house. When they arrived they climbed down to her room and laid on her bed, just staring at the ceiling. "Tiki spots off."

"Plagg, claws in." They were both so exhausted but overjoyed, as now it really was a new chapter in their lives that they got to enjoy, and their years of hard work had finally paid off. Adrien put his arm around Marinette as she fell asleep with her head on his chest.

"Marinette! Time to go to school!" Adrien heard Marinette's mother say while knocking on her door. He then desperately tried to wake Marinette, who was still sleeping beside him.

"Marinette! Marinette!" Adrien whispered while shaking Marinette frantically. She really looks gorgeous this morning, Adrien thought.

"Adrien?" Marinette said a little too loudly while sitting up, so Adrien put his finger in his mouth, gesturing for her to quiet down, and then pointed down to her door.

"Marinette? Are you awake?" Marinette's mother said louder this time while opening the door slightly.

"Yes! Yes, I am awake! I am almost ready! No need to come and check on me!" Marinette yelled suspiciously, looking at Adrien squinting her eyes and smiling.

"Okay, well hurry up!"

"I'm walking today!" Marinette replied.

"Oh, nice job! You better leave soon, you only have a couple minutes before it's time to leave!" Marinette's mother said, and then closing the door and making her way back down the stairs. Marinette sighed out of relief and then fell back on Adrien. Marinette quickly ran down off of her bed and locked her door to her room.

"Adrien, we have to be quiet or they'll hear us! I'll walk through the bakery, and you can leave through the porch as Cat Noir, and then we will meet at the closest alley to my house for you to transform back, and then we can walk to school together." Marinette whispered.

"Could you possibly repeat that M'lady?" Adrien said jokingly.

"No time for jokes, we have to leave now!" Marinette said attempting to be serious, but then looked to the side and laughed as it was too hard to keep a straight face with Adrien looking at her that way. They only had a few minutes before school started so they had no time to get ready, except to brush their hair and feed their kwamis. Chat transformed and said goodbye to Marinette, and then followed the plan to meet her at the closest alleyway. After waiting a few minutes Marinette finally emerged to find Adrien sitting down feeding Plagg. He stood up and went to hug her.

"Are you ready to go princess?" Adrien asked, and Marinette nodded, blushing. They left the alleyway and talked the whole time as they walked to school, and before they went in Marinette grabbed his hand to stop him.

"Adrien, you know I couldn't be any happier about your identity right?"

"You too M'lady," Adrien said, lifting her hand that he was still holding to kiss it, but was interrupted by Alya and Nino.

"I don't know what you two love birds are up to, but you better get inside, there's a senti-monster a few blocks from here! It's Juleka again!" Ayla said frantically, waiting for them to run inside.

"Mayora!" Adrien and Marinette said turning their heads to each other.

"Who?" Nino asked and then looked at Ayla with a puzzled expression.

"Oh no, Marinette we have to get inside! Let's go!" Adrien said and then pulled her hand bringing her inside to find a spot for them to transform. When they got in they ran to the bathroom. "Looks like it's not the time for our new chapter just yet."
