Cat Noir had lost his akuma, amok, and web during the kiss.

Ladybug departed from their close embrace and de-evilized spawns of Slender Moth. Cat Noir chased after Ladybug.

"Wait!" he called. "Milady!"

Ladybug said sternly, "Cat, I'm going to fix this."

"LADYBUG."

Ladybug turned around with puffy eyes. "What do you want?!"

"How did we end up kissing?" whimpered Cat Noir. "I was convinced you liked someone else."

Ladybug growled, "I was saving you."

Cat Noir saw through her, grinning. "Admit it."

"WHAT?!"

Cat Noir smirked. "You liked it."

Ladybug hit him with her yo-yo and starting running off, calling for Bunnyx in between sobs. Cat Noir watched her and ran behind her. He started to regret the smirk.

"Bunnyx! Get me out of here!" she sobbed. 

Bunnyx popped out of her burrow. Ladybug hissed, "Get me out. Get the bowl. Please let's go!"

"Minibug, you gotta tell him what happened," said Bunnyx.

"NO."

Cat Noir frowned cutely. "Ladybug, what happened?"

"I just was saving you," she growled and hopped into the burrow, Cat Noir following her. "Take me to the talk with-"

Cat Noir's ears flopped down.

"Go to our last patrol. Cat Noir, you need to-"

"I'm coming with you," said Cat Noir sternly. He tried to grab her hand, but she pushed it away. "Whether you like it or not, Bugaboo."

"Cat Noir, no." Ladybug scowled. "Out of the question."

Cat Noir spat, "I'm not forgetting our kiss again. We can move on!"

Ladybug said, "I bet we can't anyway, right, Bunnyx?"

Bunnyx explained, "Well, he could, but Cat Noir before that would disappear. He would be replaced by this one, or this one would vanish into time. It varies on what has happened in the past and future. So basically, it picks the one that would make more lively sense."

Cat Noir said eagerly, "Please, let me try!"

"NO!" roared Ladybug. "I don't need any more pressure or stress or-" Tears fell from her eyes. 

Cat Noir embraced her from behind. She returned it bleakly. Even Bunnyx wiped a tear from dripping off of her mask. 

"What's your choice, Ladybug?" asked Bunnyx, putting a hand on the shorter heroine's shoulder. Cat Noir backed away, mask dampened with salty teardrops, both his and Ladybug's. Ladybug sniffled. She stood tall.

"I. . .I guess he can try," whimpered Ladybug. "But I'm just not sure. . ."

Cat Noir stood on Ladybug's left, Bunnyx on the right. Bunnyx was first to speak. "Is that your choice?" 

"I don't want any more choices, Bunnyx. You pick." 

Bunnyx looked at Cat Noir and nodded. He was going. He and Ladybug stepped into the patrol. The Past-Ladybug and Past-Cat Noir stared, and Ladybug flung the photo into the air.

"Miraculous Ladybug."
