Chat jumped from rooftop to rooftop during the darkest hour of Paris, the moon's glow the only thing illuminating the landscape. Thankfully, Chat had night vision so darkness wasn't a problem. He finally landed on the ground and stared ahead at an abandoned alley.

He looked around before taking a few steps in. Sighing hopelessly, he slid to the ground and stared at his hands. He felt like his attempts at swooning his lady were useless. He needed to talk to someone.

Chat rested his head in his hands and stared at his reflection in a puddle besides him. He frowned at the face that stared back at him. "I'll never be good enough for her."

Suddenly, a noise rang throughout the alley way. Chat lifted his head in surprise and looked around. "Hello? Who's there?" he asked, scanning the area.

Another noise rang out and Chat slowly reached for his pole. He stood up to face his pursuer. "Show yourself, whoever you are."

Then, he heard a soft meow and an alley cat emerged out from behind a dumpster. Chat sighed and sat back down.

The alley cat curiously approached Chat. He glanced at the cat and shooed it away with his hand. "Go. You don't want to hang around a depressed kitten like me."

The alley cat stopped in its tracks and tilted its head. Chat took his eyes off the cat for a split second and the moment he looked back, it was gone. He sighed.

"Told you," he muttered to himself.

Chat then glanced to his right and nearly had a heart attack. The strange little alley cat was sitting on the other side of him now.

"H-how'd you get there?" Chat asked the cat incredulously.

The alley cat meowed.

Chat shook his head. "Never mind, it doesn't matter. You can't even understand me anyhow."

The cat moved in closer to Chat and affectionately rubbed its head on his leg. Chat smiled.

"Okay, fine. You can stay. But you don't mind if I vent to you just a little?"

The cat blinked in response.

"Great," Chat replied, inhaling deeply. "So this girl I love is really amazing and heroic and brave and I love her so much but she doesn't love me back and it's so frustrating because I try every way humanly possible to swoon her but it never works and something makes me think that she likes another guy which just worsens the situation and I can't ignore that fact or get over her because she is just so incredibly amazing!"

Chat gasped for air, his face red. The alley cat meowed in response.

"That's all you have to say?" Chat huffed at the cat, raising an eyebrow.

The cat meowed again.

"That's fair," Chat nodded. He petted the cat affectionately and smiled. "Surprisingly, I feel much better. Thanks for listening little guy."

The cat meowed and licked Chat's hand before scurrying off farther down the alleyway. Chat stood up and clenched his fists.

"I have to remember to never lose sight of what's important," Chat smiled confidently. He sprang up out of the alleyway and screamed excitedly at the top of his lungs. "Ladybug, here I come!"
