Chat Noir's point of view

I wonder what Ladybug wants to talk about. It's not like her to just call me to talk. I hope she's ok. There she is! Wait, is she crying?

"Is everything alright m'lady?" I ask as I sit down next to her. Now she's just sniffing so she's probably been crying for a while. "Sorry I took so long

"Hey Chat. It's fine." She sniffs out as she wipes her eyes. "I'm fine, but we need to be extra careful during parol tonight, there's a big contest teenage designers."

"I know, the contest is to see who will start as Gabriel Agreste's new protégé and I- I mean Adrien Agreste will wear their design. Hey my friend is probably in there. She's a pawsome designer." I say looking over at Ladybug.

"Really? Who's this friend?"

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She goes to my school." I smiling at her while she starts to frown. "What's wrong?"

"Marinette already lost. She was crying when she came out too. I don't know where she went."

"Lets hope she doesn't get akuma-tized. "

"She won't, I promise."

I stand up and am about to jump to the next rooftop for a closer look, when I see a sketchbook on the ground behind Ladybug. I pick it up and start to open it to see who's it is, but before I do I stop. Ladybug doesn't want me to know her identity, but what if this isn't her's...

"Hry purr-incess, did anyone drop something when they left?"

"I don't think so, why?"

"No reason..." Should I open it? I mean, do I really want to know who she is that bad? If I open it I would find out who she is, but at the cost of losing her trust. I don't know if I want do that...

"It's my sketchbook. I was is the contest, but lost very quickly. I don't know why I'm so sad about it, I didn't think I could really win anyways."

I walk back over to her, sketchbook still in hand. "Are you ok now?" I ask rather worriedly and she leans her head over onto me.

"I guess it doesn't matter now. I lost so you can go ahead and look at my sketches. You can't read my signature anyway..."

I open the sketchbook and start to flip through when I see it. The winning derby hat. This was Marinette's hat.

"That's the derby hat that I designed for school. I won and Adrien wore it during a photoshoot. Did you know that he's allergic to feathers too?"

"Uh... Ya I did and you won't believe how."

"I bet I would if you told me."

"Well I know that the same way I know your name." She looks at me in shock and disbelief. "I'll show you how I know. Plagg, claws in." I say and my suit slowly starts to disappear, leaving my normal clothes in it's place.

"Hey Ladybug, or should I say Marinette, are you going to confirm my suspicions?" She looks at me and stands up.

"Ok Tikki, spots off." She says, as her suit disappears it leaves the wonderful Marinette in her normal clothes and a red blush. "I was almost out of time anyways. You knew because of the derby hat right?"

"Of course, I'd remember that hat anytime."

"Well we better get back to work before something happens."

"Will you be my bug-a-boo Marinette?"

"Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?" I nod. "Of course I will Adrien."
