Ladybug could not believe this! Not only had Cat Noir led her out of Paris during a blizzard, but now somehow they have both ended up taking shelter in the same small cabin!

Summary:
The chat was set up for emergency purposes only. It was definitely not created so that Cat Noir could spend the entire school day messaging Ladybug…so why, then, does she have to keep reminding him to get back to work?

Cat’s Meow (8:58): Bugaboo...!
Lady Luck (9:00): What now, Cat?
Cat’s Meow (9:00): I’m bored.
Lady Luck: (9:01): Aren’t you supposed to be in school right now?
Cat’s Meow (9:01): I am in school right now, but I’m still bored.
Cat’s Meow (9:01): I already know what’s being taught so I’m bored.
Lady Luck (9:02): Oh, aren’t you just so smart!
Cat’s Meow (9:02): So glad you finally noticed! About time! ;)
Lady Luck (9:04): You can’t see it, but I am rolling my eyes at you right now.
Lady Luck (9:04): Seriously, though, Cat...this chat is supposed to be for emergency business only
Lady Luck (9:05): We agreed on that. Remember?
Cat’s Meow (9:05): Nope! I forgot!
Lady Luck (9:06): How convenient...
Lady Luck (9:06): Seriously, though, Cat, get back to work! I’m trying to focus on my class!
Cat’s Meow (9:06): Fine...but only because I don’t want you to fail...
Cat’s Meow (9:07): Not that I think you would because you’re smart! I love that about you! :)

Cat’s Meow (10:13): Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Lady Luck (10:13): ???
Cat’s Meow (10:14): Shakespeare! Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Lady Luck (10:15): Let me guess…literature class?
Cat’s Meow (10:15): Wow, how did you guess? ;)
Lady Luck (10:16): Luck.
Lady Luck (10:16): So you’re learning about sonnets?
Cat’s Meow (10:17): Nope!
Cat’s Meow (10:17): I already studied what my teacher is talking about today.
Cat’s Meow 10:17): thy eternal summer shall not fade
Lady Luck (10:18): Cute...But you really should pay attention.
Cat’s Meow (10:18): Why? I already know this story!
Lady Luck (10:20): Stop whining and just get back to work!
Cat’s Meow (10:20): You wound me, M’Lady! I’m not whining.
Cat’s Meow (10:21): Okay, maybe I’m whining, but you still love me, right, Bugaboo? ;)
Cat’s Meow (12:10): :music_note: All by myself... :music_note:
Cat’s Meow (12:11): That wasn’t nearly as fun as I thought it would be.
Lady Luck (12:45): Kitty... I was having lunch with friends and you were blowing up the EMERGENCY conversation!
Cat’s Meow (12:47): But it was an emergency, M’lady! I was lonely!
Lady Luck (12:50): That is not an emergency.
Lady Luck (12:51): Shouldn’t you be getting back to school anyway?
Cat’s Meow (12:52): Already on my way, Bugaboo!
***
Cat’s Meow (1:27): 1 + 1 = 2.
Lady Luck (1:35): Really, Cat?
Cat’s Meow (1:38): Of course, M’lady. One charming Cat and one beautiful Ladybug equals the best couple.
Cat’s Meow (1:39): Don’t you think? ;)
Lady Luck (1:43): Something tells me that you should be paying attention to your math class.
Cat’s Meow (1:45): I’m good. Math is one of my strong subjects.
Lady Luck (1:48): Really? That doesn’t add up.
Cat’s Meow (1:50): Whoa! Stop everything! Was that a pun I just read!?
Lady Luck (1:51): No.
Cat’s Meow (1:53): It definitely was! I could never have calculated this! M’lady puns!
Lady Luck (1:55): Ugh, this conversation is as much a prism as school! I should just delete this!
Cat’s Meow (1:58): So there’s acute girl that goes to my school. She’s a friend of mine and she’s in this class. I wish I was at the right angle to be able to see her during class.
Lady Luck (1:58): You are odd. You know that, right?
Cat’s Meow (1:59): Even so, you still associate yourself with me.
Lady Luck (1:59): Do I really have a choice…?
Cat’s Meow (1:59): :catsmirk:
Lady Luck (2:00): I can’t even deal width you right now.
Cat’s Meow (2:00): I wish you were width me, M’lady. At least I have your number .
Lady Luck (2:02): Get back to work, Cat! This is your last remainder…ugh, I meant reminder! This is all your fault!
Lady Luck (2:02): Also, I am probability deleting this conversation.
Lady Luck (2:03): Probably! Ugh, that was definitely an autocorrect!
Cat’s Meow (2:03): So mean , M’lady.
Cat’s Meow (2:05): I value you so much, you know? What if I bring pi the next time we meet up? I know a great bakery!
Cat’s Meow (2:12): Bugaboo? Give me a sine?
Cat’s Meow (2:14): Oh, nevermind. Math class is over now.

Lady Luck (2:45): What’s this? A whole thirty minutes since your last message. Kitty, did you finally listen to me and get back to work?
Cat’s Meow (2:47): Nah. I just really like this class.
Cat’s Meow (2:49): Oh, shoot…my teacher noticed me on my phone. I probably won’t be able to respond much.
Lady Luck (2:52): Yeah, I probably shouldn’t be on my phone either. A kid in my class just got called out for being on his phone too. My teacher is very strict about that.
***
Cat’s Meow (3:34): Sneaking in a reply…my teacher thinks I’m looking something up. I hope school is going well for you, M’lady.
Cat’s Meow (3:47): Oh no…there was an explosion. In my science lab class.
Cat’s Meow (3:48): It was one of my friends. I hope she’s okay. I’m going to walk her to the nurse’s office.
Lady Luck (4:04): I might be totally wrong about this, but…Adrien!?
Cat’s Meow (4:05): Adrien? Adrien who? What?
Lady Luck (4:06): Adrien Agreste, I know this is you.
Cat’s Meow (4:07): Wait, how did you…unless…Marinette!? You’re Ladybug!?
Lady Luck (4:09): I knew this chat thing was a bad idea.
Cat’s Meow (4:10): On the contrary, I think this is the best thing ever. I mean, you are the one I’ve always wanted to be Ladybug and you are and…I always told you that we have chemistry, M’lady.
Lady Luck (4:10): Cat…Adrien, you should go back and finish your lab. I’ll be okay.
Cat’s Meow (4:11): I don’t want to…I won’t be able to concentrate. I’ll be thinking of you the whole time.
Lady Luck (4:11): I’m fine. Get back to work. We’re literally just texting while sitting in the same room. It’d be more productive for you to go back to lab.
Cat’s Meow (4:12): I…can’t say no or convince you to change your mind about that, can I?
Lady Luck (4:12): No. Now, go. You’re wasting time.
Cat’s Meow (4:13): Okay, fine…I’ll be back in 15 minutes anyway.
***
Cat’s Meow (4:28): So…I guess we’re going to meet up to discuss what happened today. Are we doing that tonight?
Lady Luck (4:29): Better to do it sooner rather than later, I guess. Tonight should be fine. Let’s say…7:00. Will that work?
Cat’s Meow (4:30): Yeah. I’m walking down to the nurse’s office right now. See you in less than a minute.
***
Cat’s Meow (6:05): I can’t focus on my homework. I keep thinking about seeing you tonight.
Lady Luck (6:08): Well…our meet-up is in less than an hour.
Cat’s Meow (6:09): I…guess there’s no chance of making it sooner?
Lady Luck (6:11): No. It’ll come soon enough.
Lady Luck (6:12): Oh, and Cat Noir?
Cat’s Meow (6:13): Yeah, Marinette?
Lady Luck (6:15): Your homework better be done before you come to our meet-up. Get back to work!
For the first time ever, Adrien and Marinette have arranged to hold a study date at his mansion. At the end of the study date, Adrien decides that he and his girlfriend should take a selfie to show their friends at school the next day…and maybe, just maybe, this perfect selfie should be posted onto his public Instagram account too! It's only right that all of his fans saw how lucky he was to have somehow won the love of the most beautiful girl in Paris…maybe even the world. Marinette would thank him later for this…someday.
With her parents away on vacation, Marinette finds herself alone on New Year's Eve. She decides to transform into Ladybug and spend the time on top of the Eiffel Tower, looking out over the crowd of Parisians gathered together to ring in the New Year.
Ladybug had fully expected to spend New Years by herself, watching the celebrations from afar, but, as it turned out, her superhero partner came up with the same idea. When they meet up at the Eiffel Tower, they both decide to ring in the new year together.
