Maila was confused.

The whole night was an unending creation of questions that his parents never answered. They both were far too excited talking to Plagg who was basking in the attention. His mood was also improved by the camembert that he's been shoving down his tiny throat.

It was midnight and she was thankful that it was the weekend cause she already is always late for school and going to sleep late won't help. They were on the Eiffel Towers and the breeze was cool from up high. She was leaning on the railing, looking down of the bright city. Normally she was afraid of heights but her recent job quickly had her overcome the fear.

Maila chomped on her cookie, feeling very out of place about something that she was supposed to know. She was supposed to be telling her parents about the miraculous as they stare at her with complete shock, but instead it was her gaping at them.

Apparently, his god parents, Alya and Nino were miraculous holders too. So when she asked about it, she was irked when her parents responded with a synchronized 'yup' and continue chatting.

When she also asked why they were on the Eiffel Tower, her parents asked why wouldn't they and that was the end of that.

They looked so content, catching up on the many years of not seeing each other. Maila couldn't help put feel a vine scratch in her gut at how well they all get along. Like wind through the leaves, her parents easily lift Plagg's barriers.

The Kwami always was prickly towards her and compared her to his last Chosen. She resented the previous Chosen, the man who seemed to be the only one who could break down Plagg's annoying walls. But of course it was her father. Of course someone as caring and adventurous he is could dig his way into the small magical cat.

Now she looks up to him even more.

Maila tried to imagine, her father in the same suit that she wears. She pictures him in the mask, cat ears, and the tail that somehow had a mind of its own. The pictures of the past Chat Noir made him look so charismatic, but also a sly and confident air to him. He was explained to be the reckless one out of the two main superheroes and the more she thought about it, the more she could picture her sorta lame dad to be a cool hero.

Her mom was the clumsiest person she had ever met, so it took some time subtly staring at her to see her swinging through the city. Then she remembered all the times her mom had to be serious, whether if Maila got hurt or if dad made a mess in the kitchen. Her mom can be scary, so imagining her in the famous red suit became not a problem.

"Hey, Maila-" her dad called and she straightened. "Do you know who the new Ladybug is yet?"

Frowning, she shook her head. "We're not supposed to know. Shouldn't you know that."

Her dad laughed. "Trust me, I know. Your mother reminded me all the time. I was just wondering, since it doesn't really matter."

Maila furrowed her brows. "But it does matter. There is a new cheetah miraculous that even Master Fu didn't know about and it's holder is spreading havoc!"

"Oh man!" Her dad exclaimed with a wide smile. "Master Fu is still alive!? I need his secret."

"Adrian!" Her mom scolded him, elbowing his side which earned a yelp from the man.

"Sorry, bugaboo. Anyway, when we found out about each other it only helped us as a team."

Her mom nodded, smiling softly. "It did take a bit for us to get used to it though."

"Don't remind me." Plagg groaned.

"Wait, so I can actually learn who Ladybug is!" She felt her face flush. She's been craving to know what he looks like from the moment she met him. He was so charming and cute even under the mask, a boy who she looked up to as not only a superhero but a person too. To know who he is means they could be together outside of saving Paris, maybe one day they'll go on a date.

"That sounds purrfect."

Her mom gave Malia a knowing smirk and nudged her husband by the elbow. "Seems like all Chats have something in common."

"I know! Malia makes cat puns like a pro!"

Plagg rolled his eyes, "or they are all oblivious."

Her dad was about to retort back when an explosion went off in the distance. The tower shook as the smoke burst into the sky, a figure flying out from it with a maniacal laugh.

"I am the FireStarter and I will take revenge on every business owner! Haha!"

Great, another idiot.

She turned to Plagg and they shared a nod. "Plagg, claws out!" A flash of green and she was transforming into her back suit, ears, tail and a staff included.

Her dad squealed. "You look so cute! Just like me."

Her mom gave Malia a hug and a sweet smile. "Be safe and don't do anything your father would do."

"Hey!"

Malia laughed and extended her staff. "Got it, see you in about an hour."

Before she was able to jump off the tower, a boy in red and black swung from above her, a grace to his movements as he headed toward the anarchy.

Malia felt a giddiness rise in her, a feeling she got every time she watched him move. With a new found surge of confidence, she jumped.

Then she fell.

The mission was successful and Ladybug was able to reform the pretty butterfly back to a pure white.

"You did good today." Ladybug smiled, hands resting on his narrow hips.

Malia blushed and began fumbling over her words. "Um, thank you. You too. Did good I mean, haha."

Ladybug continued smiling at her, "Do you wanna maybe do surveillance tonight together instead of alone? We can do it as like a weekly thing."

"Yes!" Malia nodded quickly. "That sounds great!"

"Cool, looking forward to it."

"Hey, Ladybug and Chat Noir!!" A voice called and when the iconic duo turned, Malia was embarrassed to see her meddling parents walking up to them.

"Good job with that akuma!" Her dad exclaimed and pat her on the shoulder.

Her mom nodded. "Yeah, you are great as the new LB and Chat," she then brought Ladybug into a hug, "say hi to Tikki for me, okay?"

Ladybug looked shocked and stared at her mom with a sense of wonder in his eyes. "Yeah, of course madam." His voice was only just a whisper.

"You too," her dad pointed at her. "Make sure Plagg has all the Camembert he could eat. That little cat is even more rude without it." He gave Ladybug a wink to which he gasped at as well.

"Anyway, thanks for taking over and helping Paris. We appreciate your work." Her dad said, interlocking his wife's hand with his.

Her mom smiled warmly at them both. "You better leave soon before you transform back."

As if on cue, both of their miraculous' beep and the duo share a look and nod at each other.

"See you tonight?" Ladybug asked, getting his yo-yo ready.

Malia nodded. "Yeah, I'll meet you on the Eiffel Tower."

Then he was swinging away, leaving her with a warm fluttering in her stomach. The moment was ruined though when her parents started snickering at her fond expression.

"Shut up." Then she took off to the opposite direction from where Ladybug left, a giddy smile forming as the wind guided her through the streets of Paris.

Adrian watched his little girl jump from building to building, pride swelling his chest.

"Ladybug is Alya and Nino's kid isn't he?" His wife stated more than asked.

"I can't wait for the wedding." He responded with and they shared a laugh.

Things are gonna be a bit different from now on, but at least his daughter will have them help her with not only being a superhero but also crushing on her partner.

———————————————
Well here's the last part. I wasn't gonna continue it but people seemed to want to know what happened next so I wrote this. I wrote the first 3 chapters years ago and now I haven't been in the fandom for quite awhile (they are really dragging the plot out and Marionette has no character development with Adrian and it's annoying). I started this months ago, stopped, and tonight I finished it. I have like 5% interest in the show now and 0.0003% interest in this story but alas! I finished it! But it's also why it's rushed and the writing isn't that good, but I sure had improved since when I first published this story.
Anyway, tell me how you're feeling about the show now a days , I'd like to hear people's opinions.
Also I'm on Archiveofourown under the same username so check that out for new content!
