It scared her.

Absolutely terrified her.

The idea of this person she knew, the person who she dearly cared for, becoming this angry, heartbroken, revenge filled person, petrified her. The information she had, would make them that person. She could never tell them because they would become that person.

Another late night spent doing homework. It's not how Marinette would normally want to spend a weekend night but, that's what happens when you make a vow to protect Paris from a man who uses butterflies as a form of manipulation.

Tikki had fallen asleep beside Marinette on the desk, while she was working on homework. She had made a good dent in her homework, almost finished it too, but of course, since it was Paris there couldn't be on peaceful night.

She first thought she might have just been hearing things but when the noise kept continuing outside, getting louder, she had to look out her window.

"Right. Spots on!"

"Pillowcase?"

"I assume."

"Any idea how to get it?"

"Not a clue." Ladybug responded to Chat as they peeked over the rooftop to see Sandboy continuing to cause nightmares to people in their houses. "As long as the sand doesn't hit us like last time, we can be done quick."

"Why so quick? This is our bonding time, my lady." He smiled.

"I have to finish my homework and I'm guessing you probably have work to catch up on too."

"You can just say you like spending time with me." He gave a playful smirk. "Because I know you do."

"Chat." She sighed. "Now is not the-"
