"See you, girl!"

Marinette waves as she heads back to her house. The walk from Alya's is short, and she's home before she knows it.

She's kind of exhausted, because no one ever sleeps properly at a sleepover, but it's just gone ten and far too early to go to sleep. If she naps now, she won't sleep tonight.

"Welcome back, sweetie," Sabine says, but the bakery is busy and Marinette just heads straight upstairs. Usually, she'd help out, but she'd just muck it up.

"Forget this," Marinette mutters. "I'm taking a nap."

But the nap refuses to take her, and she's still awake an hour later. Marinette groans, and sits up. She's not sleeping.

LadyBug: morning chat

ChatNoir: morning, bugaboo. u in a drawing mood?

LadyBug: yup. i need some blue light to wake me up

ChatNoir: up late last night?

LadyBug: at a sleepover. no one sleeps properly at a sleepover

ChatNoir: i wouldnt know. any ideas?

Marinette frowns at the first part of the message, but doesn't mention it. ChatNoir has already created a new episode, so she clicks on.

LadyBug: um yeah. twins that multiply every time they eat

She created that idea spontaneously, but for an exhausted brain, she can't help but think it was pretty good.

ChatNoir: sounds good. what's the lucky charm?

LadyBug: UNICYCLE

ChatNoir: maybe you should go to sleep...

Marinette smiles. She's feeling less tired by the second.

LadyBug: nonono. what if they use a unicycle to turn a large stick, which then catches all the hats

ChatNoir: but why would they all run in the same direction in one line

LadyBug: if they were running towards something...

She thinks.

LadyBug: i'll get to that. shall we?

She's thinking about it as they draw. ChatNoir has just drawn the unicycle, and stopped, when the realisation hits her.

Tikki can't come up with something to attract the small monsters called Sapotis.

But someone else can...

LadyBug: i'm going to propose a wild idea

ChatNoir: go right ahead, im listening

LadyBug: another kwami

There's a pause.

LadyBug: with power of illusion

LadyBug: i said it was wild

ChatNoir: no im thinking

ChatNoir: how's that going to affect nooroo?

Marinette hadn't considered this.

LadyBug: if there's already three kwamis, another one isn't going to change the storyline that much

LadyBug: anyway we dont even have a storyline, we can fit another one in

ChatNoir seems to consider this.

ChatNoir: fair point, mlady. do we have an idea for this kwami, apart from illusion?

The episode is based on Alya's sisters. She opens Miraculous on her phone, and goes through her notifications.

RenaRouge: great episode, LadyBug and ChatNoir!!

RenaRouge: okay i'm with you, tikki. what the heck even

RenaRouge: okay that makes sense

RenaRouge: HOW DO YOU EVEN COME UP WITH THIS STUFF LADYBUG AND CHATNOIR THIS IS LIKE GENIUS LEVEL RIDICULOUSNESS

RenaRouge: can't wait for the next one!

RenaRouge: today was boring and normal, until you updated!!

RenaRouge: glaciator was a great episode, i can't wait for the next one!

And then she opens her messages.

RenaRouge: great episode, ladybug!

RenaRouge: loved the new episode, ladybug, keep it up!!

Her biggest fan. The person who supports her, both as LadyBug and Marinette.

LadyBug: i was thinking we could base this kwami on our biggest fan

LadyBug: RenaRouge

She can almost imagine ChatNoir smiling.

ChatNoir: never heard a better idea, mlady. message her

So Marinette does.

LadyBug: hey, renarouge?

To her surprise, Alya doesn't message her this time.

RenaRouge: hey, ladybug! i loved your last episode!

LadyBug: thank you! it was definitely a collaborative effort, though!

LadyBug: speaking of chatnoir, we've been talking and have a proposition for you

Her phone buzzes, with the message from Alya.

Marinette ladybug is messaging me and i cant breathe

MESSAGE BACK YOU IDIOT

RenaRouge: yeah?

LadyBug: we're going to have a new kwami in the comic, who will appear in the next episode. as you are our biggest fan, we'd like to dedicate this kwami to you

Alya calls her. Marinette doesn't even have to speak.

"Marinette LadyBug has messaged and she's saying there's going to be a new kwami in the next episode and I was all excited because inside scoop! but that's not all LadyBug and ChatNoir have decided to dedicate this kwami to me because I'm their biggest fan!!!!"

"Reply!" Marinette prompts, when Alya's run out of breath.

"I'm doing it, girl!" she says, and she can hear Alya typing down the phone.

RenaRouge: seriously? it would be an honour!!

Marinette makes an effort to be quiet while typing.

LadyBug: awesome! keep an eye out for the next episode, sapotis!

"The next episode is called Sapotis," Alya says. "And I'm going to be in it as a kwami!"

"I'm trying to do my homework," Marinette says, "And you're being really distracting."

This is a lie, but she needs to reply to ChatNoir.

"What homework?" Alya asks warily.

"History," Marinette fibs. "See you, Alya!"

She hangs up, and opens her chat with ChatNoir.

LadyBug: all clear! trixx, as it tricks as in illusions?

ChatNoir: definitely. lets do this!!

And when she finally posts the next episode, with Trixx dedicated to RenaRouge, Alya calls Marinette and says she has happy tears and Marinette has never been so happy.

A/N:

Me: you can't post a chapter. you posted one yesterday
Also me: Post the chapter

But in other news, I'm not too fond of Thank-you chapters and I have a rhythm going, so I'm putting it in the A/N and hope you guys actually read this.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤. You probably don't know what I'm talking about, especially in the future when this is complete, but today I got 1K reads on this story. It bends my brain to think that one thousand people actually opened my story.

I don't even KNOW a thousand people. 

So yeah, thank you, if you've stuck around long enough for Sapotis. We have thirteen more chapters left of Season 2, and I'm hoping to post them every other day, like I am now

Thank you to the silent readers who still boost the count, and to those who vote and comment (over a hundred votes and over 150 commments!!!!!). I love you all so much ❤❤

[EDIT: I just realised I named it Chapter 31, when it's supposed to be 32. Sorry!]
