Cat Noir made it back to the mansion and de-transformed back to Adrien. His mute butler Gorilla saw him coming and informed him that tomorrow is the brand fashion company launching new clothes in every store.

"That's great, Gorilla. Thanks for the news" Adrien said.

Gorilla grunted and went to the room while Adrien goes upstairs to his bedroom to rest.

"Well, another day awaits tomorrow, Plagg," He said to his kwami.

"Do you think your princess' designs will boost up?" Plagg asked.

"I hope so, I believe in her" Adrien said.

"And when are you gonna tell her that it's you underneath that mask? Scaredy cat?" Plagg laughed.

"When the time is right, Plagg. I don't know if she can handle the truth" Adrien said.

"Well, you think so?" Plagg asked.

"I don't know, Plagg. The Agreste family has been broken" Adrien sighs, "Ever since mom passed away and father's arrest, it's not been the same" He adds.

"But you still have your cousin," Plagg said.

"Even if he's a bad guy," Adrien said.

"You're both bad guys, remember? You two used to pretend to be each other as kids" Plagg said.

"I know. Even our parents couldn't tell us apart" Adrien said.

"Oh yeah. But you got more of a heart than your cousin does" Plagg said.

"He's a trickster and I'm just a seductive cat," Adrien said as he gets dressed in pajamas.

"Of course" Plagg smiled.

"Besides, I fired Lila months ago because she took credit from someone else. She claims she's been around the world. That pathological liar." Adrien growled and brushed his teeth.

"Well, she's one sly fox" Plagg chuckled.

"And she doesn't even speak much Italian like her mom," Adrien said.

"Mmmmm, being used to living here in France," Plagg said.

"Ooh, la la. Paris, the city of love" Adrien put his hands on his chest.

"Yup. Thinking of bringing more roses to your princess?" Plagg asked.

"Maybe. But I need to remain mature and not go all lovey-dovey on her" Adrien said and finished brushing his teeth. Plagg nodded and they headed to bed.

The next day, as Cat Noir, he was on the helicopter trying to capture Volpina that stole another piece of jewelry again.

"Hold it right there!" He demanded.

"No can do! I'm the flying fox!" Volpina moved the steering lever to the left to make Cat Noir tumble.

"Whoa! Whoa!" Cat Noir almost lost his grip.

"It's a bumpy ride for you, Adrien!" Volpina laughed.

"Not for long!" Cat Noir sunk his claws into the hull. He reached into the cockpit and grabs onto the bag filled with jewelry.

"What? NO!" Volpina screamed as Cat Noir jumps off the helicopter and dived into the sky.

"Stupid fox!" He laughed and saw the Eiffel Tower. He was more than a thousand feet in the sky and he glided towards the tower, "Okay, just get the perfect timing!" He grabbed onto the flagpole on the tower and glides down on it once he got close.

He jumps off the flagpole to the platform landing on his feet, "Another mission accomplished" He held out the jewels.

"I see you still land on your feet, kitty cat," Flairmidable said out of nowhere.

"Flairmidable, you've been waiting here?" Cat Noir saw him.

"I saw it was raining cats and dogs," Flairmidable said sarcastically.

"Mmhmm? Well, I just foiled Volpina" Cat Noir said.

"I can see that you robbed her jewelry work" He gestures to the bag.

"Yup," Cat Noir nodded.

"Oh shit. She's coming back" Flairmidable looked up and saw the helicopter.

"Time for raining cats and dogs!" Cat Noir grabbed the canine's hand and both jumped off the tower.

"Come back here you!" Volpina flew her helicopter down the tower.

The feline and the canine glide down to the first floor of the tower and Cat Noir extends his baton to slow his fall by sliding on it along with Flairmidable.

"Hang on tight!" He slowed down.

As they landed safely, Volpina gave up and flew her helicopter in the other direction. Hoping that she'll get revenge on her ex.

"This ain't over yet, Adrien! I'll be back!" She said to herself.

"Man, that fox doesn't quit. When are you gonna get that fox necklace out of her paws?" Flairmidable asked.

"Next encounter I hope," Cat Noir said.

"That's what you always say. Care to share stolen jewelry with your dog?" Flairmidable asked.

"Sure thing. As long as it's not a biscuit" Cat Noir hands him some diamonds.

"Bling bling, baby. Just what I need for my dog collar" Flairmidable said.

"Good boy" Cat Noir pets his head.

"Do that again and I'll bite your paw" Flairmidable glared.

"No promises" Cat Noir replied.

Much later, Cat Noir now as Adrien attended to his company's special event for the fashion show.

"Well, here we go" Adrien adjusts his tie.

"My kitten has become the lion," Plagg said.

"Heh, the alpha lion at least" Adrien chuckled.

"And your princess is waiting," Plagg said.

"Alright," Adrien said and goes to find Marinette.

When he arrived, he saw several models wearing the dresses and suits they were advertising this month. Most of the staff were chatting with some guests invited to this special event. Adrien chatted with a few of his employers until he noticed Marinette in a pretty dress.

"Marinette," He said and it got her attention.

"Oh, greetings, Adrien. How's it do-....I mean going?" She stammered.

"It's going well. And you look pretty today" Adrien admiring her dress.

"Oh thank you" Marinette smiled.

"Ready for the special event?" Adrien asked.

"Yeah, a little nervous" Marinette said.

"You'll do fine. To me you're like a princess ready to dance with your prince" Adrien said.

"Aw, thanks Adrien" Marinette replied with a blush.

"Heh, no problem. Anyways, the special event is about to start. Don't let Chloe get into your head" Adrien said.

"Got it" Marinette nods.

Everyone gathered in their seats and the lights went out and the music came on for the fashion show. Three designers were Marinette, Chloe, and Juleka. The models were Alya, Sabrina, and Luka.

"First up we got Alya Césaire!" The announcer said as Alya steps out, wearing the dress Marinette has designed, the one with ladybug colors. She posed and the photographers took pictures.

After she came, Sabrina was in a yellow and black dress, much like the colors of a bee. After her, was Luka. He wore a turquoise suit with snake scale pattern designed by his sister Juleka. The photographers took pictures of him as well after Sabrina. The models did their catwalk on stage to get their pictures taken for the magazines. Marinette smiled with confidence her best friend is doing well. Juleka had a proud look at her brother while Chloe looked disappointed.

After the event, Cat Noir blends in the night of Paris, along with an actual black cat with green eyes on his shoulders, "Well I knew my princess would make it during that event" He said to himself.

He landed near the entrance of the jewelry store, "Let's get started" He cuts a hole through the window with his claws and unlocks the door, and snuck inside, even disabling the security system.

"Find anything that's puuurrrecious, my sweet," He said to his cat.

His cat snuck in quietly to find any jewelry that looks most valuable. Cat Noir went in the other direction to find something that's expensive and valuable. Purring in excitement that his addiction to pretty jewelry made him very wild.

"Ahhhh..... there you are" He found a shiny pearl necklace.

"Finders keepers, fleabag" Volpina came out of the shadows.

The feline rolled his eyes, "Sly fox. I don't have time for you. Go hunt somewhere else"

"Aw, the kitty cat doesn't want to fight? I thought you sharpen your claws" Volpina laughed.

"Still holding a grudge since I stole your jewelry?" Cat Noir asked.

She pulled out a gun, "Curiosity killed the cat"

Cat Noir chuckled and pulled out his, "Such a pity, foxes have a short lifespan" He said as they circled.

"Longer in captivity though" Volpina replied.

"And my curiosity never kills me because I have nine lives. This is no Halloween, Lila" Cat Noir said coldly.

"Everywhere I go, it's always Halloween" Volpina engaged in a fight and tried to shoot him but he kicked the gun out of her hand.

He grabs it and points both guns at her, "What's it gonna be? Your kneecaps?" He asked.

"Don't you dare, Cat Noir!" Volpina exclaims.

"For a pathological liar, you really beg for mercy. If you wanna live, give me the fox miraculous" Cat Noir demanded.

Realizing he's serious, Volpina reached for the miraculous, "That's it, good girl" Cat Noir said and just as she took it off, she turns back to Lila.

"I'm gonna rip your whiskers one of these days" Lila growled and hands the miraculous to him.

"Just try me" Cat Noir smirked.

"You think I'm lying?" Lila said.

"You always do that" Cat Noir said and slowly goes up to the pearl necklace and takes his leave, "Meow" He smirked at Lila and his cat comes back with a ruby in its mouth, "Au Revoir, Lila," He said and leaves.
