In the alley, Rose handed Ladybug the Pig miraculous back.
Rose: Thank you, Ladybug.
Ladybug: You're welcome, Rose. Thanks to you, Paris now has a positive attitude. Bug out! *She throws her yoyo out and swings away and Rose heads back to the park. Ladybug landed in another alley, without being seen by anyone. * Spots off! *She de-transform and Tikki hovered next to Marinette. *
Marinette: Here, Tikki. *She hands Tikki a macaron in her purse and she eats it. * Better meet my friends before going home. Come on. *She opens her purse and Tikki goes inside, and she heads back to the park. At Claudia's house, Claudia walked inside, and her parents were furious with her. *
Claudia's mom: Young lady, the principal called.
Claudia: (Of course he did.)
Claudia's dad: He said you're failing your classes and you walked out of his office. He's giving you detention for not cooperating with him.
Claudia's mom: It's bad enough you're falling behind in all of your classes, now you don't wanna graduate on time with everyone else. You're gonna be held back a year, is that what you want?
Claudia: I get it now. I messed up, so what? It's not like I didn't have a choice.
Claudia's mom: And what choice was that?
Claudia: For not being what you want me to be. And the fact I skip school and get away from it all. *Her parents gasped at what they heard. * Now, I learned my lesson, I'm going upstairs.
Claudia's dad: No, we're not done yet. Come back here! *Claudia ignored her parents and headed up to her room. She looked at the magical charm Ladybug gave her, and she sighed. *
Claudia: Hopefully they'll understand. *She gets to her homework without speaking to her parents. *
At Place des Vosges, Marinette meets up with her friends, she sees Rose and Juleka hugging.
Marinette: Did I miss something?
Alya: Juleka apologized to Rose for what she said under Hater's influence and now, they made up. But Rose is forgivable.
Marinette: Okay.
Alix: Gotta go. I promised my dad I help out in the Louvre. See ya. *They said bye to Alix as she left the park. Zoe saw the limo pulling up at the park. *
Zoe: Gotta go too. Bye. *They said bye to Zoe as she headed to the limo and headed home. *
Alya: You're leaving too, girl?
Marinette: Yeah. We have that Literature research essay to do.
Mylene: We have plenty of time to do it. It's not due until the end of the month.
Marinette: I know. It's best to write it out and type it up before the deadline. Plus, have to help out at home.
Mylene: Okay. Bye, Marinette. *They said bye to Marinette as she left the park too. At Marinette's house, Marinette walked in, and she saw Marin and Timmy watching TV. *
Tom: Hey, honey. How was your time with your friends?
Marinette: It was okay. But an Akuma came. Thankfully I took cover.
Tom: That's good to hear. I'm about to plan dinner, wanna help me later on?
Marinette: Yeah. I have homework first.
Tom: Okay. I'll let you do that and come down and help out.
Marinette: Okay. *She heads up to her room and gets started as Tom starts looking up the recipe for Taco salad. * Okay, since I have 3 classes, better get to work. *She gets her notebook, pulls out her rough draft of her literature research paper, and gets started. The Kwamis were happy and flying around. *
Barkk: I have a holder!
Ziggy: So do I.
Orikko: I haven't had a holder in years. Now I do.
Stompp: Of course, our holders weren't sure if they could do it, but Ladybug convinced them to do the job and look at us now.
Drapp: Think we'll be needed again, Marinette?
Marinette: Just depends on a mission, Drapp. I can't use every miraculous on every mission, just need them for a specific reason.
Drapp: Okay. *Fluff looked sad while her ears were down. *
Ozzel: What's wrong, Fluff? You look sad.
Fluff: Just that everyone has a holder but me. I just feel left out.
Marinette: Aw don't be sad, Fluff. We all know Alix will be your holder in the future. You'll just have to be patient when the time comes.
Fluff: Aw, you're asking the Kwami of time travel to wait? Can't I just use my powers to find out when it'll happen?
Kwamis: No!!
Barkk: You know you can't use your powers without a holder.
Tikki: And some of us have experienced it.
Trixx: I only used my power when creating an illusion of Luka because Shadow Moth found out his identity.
Anklli: Does Kings' Day ring a bell? *Tikki blushed at that. *
Tikki: That was different. Or the time Plagg used his powers when he sank the Lost City of Atlantis, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Dinosaurs.
Sass: I used my power for some reason. I can't remember it though.
Longg: And Kaalki used her power and made things go through a portal.
Kaalki: Hmph. Well, I never. *Marinette chuckled as she kept working on her essay writing. *
Sanndy: Don't feel bad, Fluff. You're not the only one who hasn't got a holder yet. We don't have holders yet either!
Perlla: Yeah! Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get your holder soon! *Fluff grinned at them and they all group hug Fluff. *
Fluff: Aww, thank you. *Marinette grinned as she kept on working on her essay on paper. *
In the kitchen, Tom starts getting stuff for the Taco salad and Sabine comes out from Bridgette's room.
Tom: How is she?
Sabine: She just had her bath. Hopefully, that would help bring her fever down. I'll have to check her temperature after dinner. She's resting again. *She washed her hands and started getting the fresh limes, a lemonade pitcher, sugar, and ice cubes to make some limeade. *
Tom: That's good. Hopefully, it'll help.
Sabine: Just hate it when kids get sick. *She filled the pitcher with water started cutting up some limes and put some lime juice in the pitcher. *
Tom: I know. But it is Spring and allergy season is here. And of course, cold and flu season.
Sabine: I know. Just hope this cold will go away. *She added some sugar and a cup of warm water and stirred it up. *
Tom: I hope so too. *In the Agreste Mansion, Gabriel leaves his atelier and walks over to Nathalie's bedroom. *
Gabriel: I don't know what to do, Nathalie. No matter who I akumatize, nothing can get to Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculous. Might as well just give up.
Nathalie: I thought you would go with that no matter how many times Ladybug and Cat Noir along with two more heroes by their side stop what you're doing. But... sometimes... not all problems have a solution. What else can you do?
Gabriel: Can't get Chloe to do it since she broke free from her Akuma when she was Penalty. I'll just have to think of a way to make any villain I create to get their miraculous by force. Something like... *He gasped when he looked stunned. *
Nathalie: What? What is it?
Gabriel: Think I know what I can do. It may be pointless and dangerous at first, but it'll work either way when I do it.
Nathalie: What will you do? *Gabriel smirked at the moment. *
Gabriel: Only time will tell, Nathalie. Until then, I'll have to do what I always do until the time comes.
