"Miraculous Ladybug!"
Everything turned to normal. The zombies were cured, the broken thing was fixed, the news from years ago was cleared,... There was no more consequences.
"Why am I still here?" Milisa, who had been transformed back asked "What time is it? I need to get home with my classmate. My parents will be so worried about me!"
The gang looked at eachother, confused. What should they do? They can't tell her you've gone for three years straight.
"Umm... You've missed the bus. Let us take you home" Ladybug said
"All of us?" Chloe asked and wore her miraculous back on
"Pollen, buzz on!"
"Yeah, let's go"

They brought her to her home, where they explained everything to her and her parents. They were in shock.
"That means I'm 19 already! And my knowledge is still at the age 16!"
"You can try being homeschooled" Chat said "I was homeschooled before. Don't worry, unlike me, you can still meet friends while you're homeschooled"
He caught Ladybug looking at him with strange eyes but it wasn't the right time to ask
"Or you can write stories to sell. You can start a business at this age. With your talents, I don't think it would be hard" Rena said
"No... I don't think so..." Milisa said
"Why not?" Queen Bee asked. She seemed so concerned for the first time
"Many companies have turned down my stories"
"No worries. I'll ask my father" Queen Bee excused herself to make a call
"Just keep following your dream. You have been following it for three years long. It's time that you achieve your dream" Ladybug held her hand "Maybe they don't see your talents, but we do. Chl... I mean Queen Bee's dad does"
"Really?" Milisa looked at her
"Daddy said yes" Queen Bee came back and shortly said.
"Okay so Mr. Bourgeois will call you later. We'll have to go now. Our time is limited"
"Please drop by if you have time!" The family said as the gang walked away
"We will!" The gang said

"Quick! Give me back the miraculouses!" Ladybug rushed Rena Rouge and Carapace in a alley.
"You guys did great. Especially you, Alya!"
"Thank you. I can finally go and find Marinette. Maybe she's back at the hotel now!"
Alya said as she pulled Nino back to the hotel
"Oh no!" Ladybug muttered

She hurriedly took back the miraculouses from Kim and Max.

"Hey Ladybug!" Chat called "Here is the bee miraculous!"
"Thanks! I have to go right now!  Bye!"
"Why so soon?"
"I have to see if Adrien is okay! And I'm running out of time too" Ladybug said and ran off

Chat didn't use his Cataclysm so he supposed to have time to spend. But he needed to check on Marinette and everyone else too, also, Ladybug was looking for him! And she loves him! He had to be back as soon as possible. Going on foot is definitely not an option, so he decided to go by stick as usual and transform back later.

As he got back to the hotel, he saw Ladybug running ahead of him
"My...lady...?" He called out but stopped midway
He saw Ladybug transformed back. She wasn't lying when she said she was almost out of time.

And she was Marinette.

To his surprise, he wasn't as surprised as he thought he would be. Maybe he had always know it, but he was in denial? No, actually a part of him wishes they were one. He was attracted by both of them. Marinette or Ladybug is really an awesome girl to make him fell for her twice. He didn't realize he fell something more for Marinette until now!

He's so dense. Too dense.

She said she loved him, didn't she? Let's go and make it up to her.

"Hey, Marinette! Wait!!!" He called her
"Adrien?" She asked before turning back "Oh, Chat Noir. Why are you here?"
"Why are you sounding so disappointed?" Chat smirked and drew closer to her
"No, I'm not! I'm glad that you and Ladybug have saved the day!"
"Ladybug and me? Or it's you and me, m'lady?" Chat drew closer to her
His face was a few inches away from hers. This was so close that he could even feel her face heat up
"What... What are you saying? It... it doesn't make sense!" Marinette stared to panic
"Stop Marinette. I know she was you. I can feel that she was you. To be fair with you..."
"Claws in!"

It was him. Adrien. The last guy she expected to be Chat Noir was Chat Noir.

How did she feel? Definitely not disappointed. Happy maybe?

Does he really love her? Or just because she's Ladybug?

"I know what you're thinking. And I have to explain myself. I've always felt a thing for you. Definitely more than friends. But I have to remind myself, my crush is Ladybug. Sometimes, I think of you, Marinette, than anything else. But now, you and Ladybug are one! How lucky am I? And to think that I've fell for you twice..." Adrien looked at her endearingly
"And I now know that you have a crush on me too. What do you say? Should we be a thing?" Adrien leaned closer
Marinette was still in shock, but she still go with the flow.
"I'll keep the secret that you're Ladybug. You should keep mine too"
"U..Um" she muttered
"You're blushing too much, purrincess" he teased (definitely Chat mode). His face was an inch away from her
"Let's cover your eyes shall we?" He covered her eyes with his hand "So you won't have to be shy"

And he did it. He did what he had always wanted to.

He kissed her.
He finally kissed her.
He kissed her!

He could hear Marinette's small moans. They breathed hardly when they pulled away. But the heat from each other's breath was unbearable, their lips found their way to each other again.

"Woooooo!"
Wait. Is that Alya?
"Oh! How romantic!"
"Great job Marinette!"
"Impressive"
Rose? Mylene? Juleka?
"Way to go dude!"
Nino?
"Grrr"
The whole class is here???

They looked at the crew.
"Care to explain?" Alya showed them the picture of them kissing passionately
"Ummmm" Marinette couldn't say a thing as her face kept heating up. She's gonna faint being like this
"We're couple now!" Adrien happily show the class their holding hands
"Congrats!"
"Good job!"
"Finally!"
