Chapter Text

 

DMS - Gabriel and Marinette

Marinette: I can’t do this.

Gabriel: Yes, you can. You’re Ladybug.

Gabriel: You're a powerful holder.

Marinette: Is this a pep talk?

Gabriel: Yes, Nathalie gave me one earlier.

Marinette: I’m not even ladybug anymore?

Gabriel: They're really good at this sort of thing, Nathalie and Adrien.

Marinette: you're not

Gabriel: I know.

Gabriel: I have more finer skills when it comes to insults.

Marinette: I'd go to Chloe 

Gabriel: Then what am I here for?

Marinette: the bad pancakes

Gabriel: I’ll have you know Tom says I’m getting better.

Marinette: sure, I believe you

Gabriel: No, you don’t.

Marinette: no, I don’t

Marinette: which also reminds me, the blue jar was salt, not sugar

Gabriel: That’s where I messed up!

Gabriel: It’s starting. Let’s talk about this later.

Marinette: remember to credit Nathalie in your speech (if you have one that is)

Gabriel: Of course I will. 

Marinette: do you think they'll like my designs?

Gabriel: They will.

Gabriel: If they don’t, their opinions don't matter.

Marinette: taking a page out of Chloe's book?

Gabriel: Do consider my offer of joining the family business.

Marinette: this is ridiculous

Marinette: tell me you don’t want to attend the meetings without telling me you don’t want to attend the meetings

Gabriel: One day.

 

 

Group chat

Adrien: Why are Mari and dad on the phone right now?

Nathalie: Why must I manage everything around here?

Marinette: sorry Nathalie, I was telling him the blue jar is salt

Nathalie: This, is why I tell you not to eat whatever he’s baking.

Gabriel: I am getting better!

Adrien: I wouldn't know how it tastes if i don't try it out.

Adrien: Besides, Tom says everyone improves eventually.

Chloe: All three of you, off the phones right this instant! Get this show started already!

Alya: that's what's taking so long 

Master fu: I hope this does not suck as much as I expect it to.

Marinette: suck?

Master fu: I’m not talking about you.

Gabriel: Excuse me?

Master fu: Can you blame me? I mean, look at what you’re wearing!

Gabriel: Since when do you know anything about fashion?

Master fu: Since Chloe has been kind enough to tell me the difference.

Gabriel: You old senile person.

Master fu: Not old.

Master fu: It’s called being vintage.

Gabriel: What is Chloe teaching you?

Chloe: That was not me

 

 

DMS - Gabriel and Marinette

Marinette: see the cameras?

Marinette: they’re asking me to say something

Gabriel: I wasn’t aware you liked giving interviews. On the contrary, I thought you hated them. 

Marinette: that’s not what I 

Marinette: what if I credit Nathalie? 

Marinette: what was it you said again when we were at the movie premiere

Marinette: oh yes ‘ that’s my future daughter-in-law’

Marinette: I wonder if I should refer to Nathalie in a similar fashion

Marinette: hmm?

Marinette: ‘ It’s my future mother-in-law that deserves most of the credit’

Gabriel: I know I tormented you a little with the daughter-in-law thing back when you didn't know about each other’s feelings but it doesn't mean you should do this.

Marinette: ha! you reap what you sow

Gabriel: I cannot even send an akuma to express my frustration.

Marinette: karma, isn't it sweet?

Gabriel: Very.

 

Group chat

Gabriel: What a loss it is to the world, to not be able to experience akumas anymore.

Gabriel: Such a joy they were.

Gabriel: I miss the rush of adrenaline.

Alya: I think you should be lucky you’re not in prison right now

Gabriel: Please, I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing those prison clothes.

Adrien: THAT’S what you care about?

Marinette: I have to agree with him

Chloe: Completely. That stopped me too.

Adrien: From what?

Adrien: Chloe?

Adrien: Don't you think you guys should re-evaluate your priorities?

Nino: yeah

Nino: the prison food is said to be bad too

Adrien: No, that is not what I meant.

[Marinette] Just trust me!

[Nathalie] I do. I just want to make sure you’re sure about this, right?

[Marinette] Yes.

[Nathalie] He hates celebrating birthdays.

[Marinette] That’s the point.

[Marinette] Tell me, Nathalie. When was the last time you celebrated his birthday?

[Nathalie] I can’t remember. We would cut a cake and call it a day.

[Marinette] We’re celebrating this birthday and every birthday after this!

[Marinette] He keeps complaining about not liking things he’s never even tried!

[Adrien] That is true.

[Marinette] When are the other’s arriving?

[Adrien] They’re at the mansion gate. Give them couple of minutes.

[Marinette] Okay. Help me put up this happy birthday banner.

[Adrien] Ok, one-

[Nathalie] You called his parents?!

[Marinette] Oh, yes, I did.

[Nathalie] No, you’re-he’s not on good terms-

[Marinette] I know.

[Nathalie] You know? And yet you called them?

[Marinette] Nathalie, trust me.

[Adrien] This strangely feels like a payback.

[Marinette] Oh yes, for akumatizing my grandparents. Take that.

[Adrien] Oh kwamis, you invited Felix!

[Marinette] What? No, I didn’t.

[Nathalie] Then who was it?

[Marinette] Why would I invite Felix?

[Chloe] Sweet Karma.

[Marinette] Chloe!

[Chloe] Yes. Yes. I’m brilliant.

[Nathalie] Chloe.

[Chloe] Look, I hate the fact that’s he’s here as much as the other guy.

[Nino] I’m assuming the other guy is Marinette.

[Gabriella] Oh, Nathalie! You must be Nathalie, right?

[Nathalie] Yes, that’s-yes. Welcome.

[Felix] Chloe.

[Chloe] Felix.

[Felix] And you.

[Marinette] You.

[Adrien] I think we should get back to decorating.

[Nino] Do you want to hear the mix? I made it just for your old man.

[Alya] Why do I feel like he’s going to hate this?

[Marinette] Trust me, it’s a legit idea!

[Tom and Sabine enter the dining room]

[Tom] I bought the croissants Gabriel baked!

[Chloe] None of us are going to enjoy this.

[Nino] We’re not going to be alive to enjoy this.

[Marinette] Fuck, this was a bad idea.

 

 

Agreste mansion, foyer camera footage

17:39

 

[Gabriel] Nathalie, I can’t believe you sent me to meet the investors on my birthday.

[Gabriel] Not that it’s any special but couldn't it have been another day?

[Gabriel] Nathalie…?

[Gabriel opens the doors to the dining room, the lights of the room switch on.]

[Everyone] Happy birthday!

[Gabriel] Oh.

 

 

DMS - Gabriel and Marinette

Marinette: aren’t those your parents?

Marinette: you were talking to your parents

Gabriel: Hello, ego.

Marinette: you suck

Gabriel: Everything you said will be held against you.

Marinette: jokes on you, it means you pay attention to what I say

Gabriel: Jokes on you, it helped me.

Marinette: jokes on you, I told you it would help you

Gabriel: Jokes on you, even if you knew it would help me, it still helped me.

Marinette: jokes on you, I told you it would help you and you abided by my advice and I was right

Gabriel: Jokes on you, you were right but it helped me in the end.

Marinette: come on now, don’t be a stranger

Gabriel: I won’t.

Gabriel: Thank you.

Marinette: yeah, you’re welcome

 

Agreste mansion, foyer camera footage

19:15

 

[Music is playing. Some people are seen dancing.]

[Marinette]  Come on.

[Gabriel] No.

[Chloe] It’s 'cause he sucks at dancing.

[Gabriel] I know how to dance!

[Nino changes the song.]

[Marinette] Then join us.

[Gabriel steps forward, ever so slightly, awkwardly swaying to the fast beats of the song.]

[Marinette] You do suck at dancing.

[Gabriel] No.

[Gabriel] I do not.

[Marinette leans in Chloe's direction and stage whispers]

[Marinette] His dancing is as bad as his cooking.

[Gabriel] I heard that!

[Tom appears by his side. Tom and Gabriel stand towards one side. Chloe and Marinette stand opposite to them.]

[Tom] You can’t use that anymore! He’s getting good at baking.

[Chloe] He needs new hobbies.

[Marinette] I agre-

[Nathalie and Adrien cut in, passing through the space between the two pairs, twirling, spinning, and laughing. They're on beat, in synchronization with each other.]

[Marinette] Wow.

[Gabriel] I share your sentiments.

[Alya] If this were a dance competition, I know who the winner would be.

[Marinette] Too bad it isn’t.

[Felix] Dance competition?

[Felix gives Chloe a reproving look]

[Felix] You told me there’d be ample opportunities to trouble Uncle! Not whatever this is.

[Chloe] I share your sentiments.

[Sabine] Snow?

[Sabine] Snow queen?

[Nathalie] Frozen?

[Alya shakes her head]

[Nathalie] Ice Age?

[Alya points at her]

[Alya] YES!

[Sabine] Yes!

[Nino] No fair. I wanted Nathalie and Mrs. Cheng on my team.

[Marinette] No fair, the two people I didn’t want ended up on my team.

[Felix rolls his eyes. Gabriel frowns.]

[Gabriel] We can win this if you two just hear me out.

[Marinette] This is charades, not simon says.

[Fu] Even if it were simon says, you’re not simon. No way in hell am I going to listen to you.

[Fu] We should just skip their group and continue ahead.

[Marinette and Gabriel both stand up in protest. Felix tries to leave but Adrien pulls him back down.]

 

Agreste mansion, courtyard camera footage

20:48

 

[Marinette and Gabriel stand side by side, at the door of the mansion. Adrien is hugging Felix goodbye as Amélie climbs into the car. Nathalie waves goodbye to Gabriella and Johnny.]

[Marinette stares ahead as she addresses Gabriel.]

[Marinette] You’re being a little stupid, I must say.

[Gabriel] Again. That is why I’m here.

[Marinette] No, that was the right choice.

[Marinette] That wasn’t stupid.

[Gabriel] Your definition of stupid is inherently different than mine.

[Marinette] You suck.

[Gabriel] I know, you’ve told me this before.

[Marinette] No, you really suck.

[Gabriel] I should fire you for saying that.

[Marinette] Good thing I don’t work for you then.

[Marinette leans in for a awkward sideway hug.]

[Marinette] Thank you for making stupid decisions.

[Gabriel stiffens for a moment before reciprocating the hug.]

[Gabriel] You’re welcome.

[Adrien] Wait for me!

[Adrien is heading for them, quickly, skipping steps on the way. In the background, both the car and motorbike leave the gates of the mansion. He eagerly wraps his hands around his father just as Marinette steps aside. Gabriel wraps his arms around Adrien, holding him gently. The moment doesn’t last any longer. Adrien steps back smiling, only to be dragged inside by Marinette.]

[Marinette] Let’s join the others, I want to win this game of charades! And you’re going to help me!

[Music fills the surrounding for a second as the door to the dining room opens. Silence takes over as the door closes shut.]

[Gabriel smiles at Nathalie, conveying all that needs to be conveyed through the look he gives her. Nathalie smiles back.]

 

DMS - Duusu and Nathalie 

Nathalie sent two videos.

Nathalie saved two videos.

Nathalie: You missed charades, you crazy peafowl.

Nathalie: There were a lot of references thrown around.

Nathalie: I saved the footages for you.

Nathalie: Just in case.

 


 

DMS - Adrien and Marinette

Marinette: flowers?

Marinette: what about flowers?

Adrien: I got it covered. Remember the lilies in the backyard? Those were her favorite.

Marinette: are you sure I should come?

Adrien: Yes, you were at the funeral.

Marinette: lots of people were at the funeral

Adrien: Regardless, I want you to be there with me.

Marinette: ok

Marinette: what about your dad and Nathalie?

Adrien: They already visited the grave hours ago.

 

DMS - Gabriel and Nathalie

Nathalie: I wanted to tell you about this earlier but I didn’t get the chance to.

Nathalie: I didn’t find the right time, and then I couldn’t get Duusu.

Gabriel: Why do you need Duusu for?

Nathalie: I finally convinced them to give me the peacock for a little while.

Nathalie: Don’t be surprised if he spits on your hand.

Gabriel: Spits on me hand!?

Nathalie: You’ll see.

.

.

.

Nathalie: I just thought you’d like to talk to her.

Gabriel: Thank you.

Gabriel: It was nice to.

...

Gabriel: Nathalie?

Nathalie: Yes, sir?

Gabriel: I’m not going anywhere.

Gabriel: It was nice, to talk to her. Closure, I suppose. Thank you for doing that.

Gabriel: But I’m not leaving you, any of you. I’m not going anywhere.

Nathalie: Not without your miraculous. No, you aren’t.

Gabriel: No, I am not. Not even with my miraculous.

Nathalie: If you had it.

Gabriel: If I had it.

...

Gabriel: Oh, and Nathalie?

Nathalie: Yes, Gabriel?

Gabriel: What do you think about renovating the mansion?

Nathalie: The mansion?

Gabriel: It’s dull, and boring.

Gabriel: And I would like a more open backyard.

Gabriel: Without the statue as a centerpiece?

Gabriel: Maybe more plants. Sabine says gardening is good.

Nathalie: More plants?

Gabriel: And my room, we should renovate that too.

Gabriel: Actually, I would like a room on the west side rather than the east.

Gabriel: I would love purple walls.

Nathalie: You’re ridiculous, purple walls?

Gabriel: It’s such a rich color.

Gabriel: Don’t you want to renovate your room?

Nathalie: Maybe.

13:05

 

[Adrien] I know! What about Rapunzel?

[Marinette] Noooo.

[Adrien] What if dress as Rapunzel for this Halloween?

[Adrien] It’s perfect! You can be Eugene, Nathalie can be King Fredric, and dad can be the Mother Gothel!

[Gabriel appears offended]

[Gabriel] The witch?

[Marinette] Not the witch really, uhh, the kidnapper?

[Gabriel] The kidnapper?! What do you take me for? I am not Mother Gothel.

[Nathalie]] I don’t know, Gabriel. Wouldn’t you like to throw out ‘Mother knows best’ when Adrien tries to be rebellious?

[Gabriel] Not you too!

[Marinette] And the flower could be the miraculous!

[Gabriel] No, no, no! Why can’t I be the Queen?

[Marinette] No, you’re-

[Gabriel] Whatever! Let’s watch something else! What about-

[Adrien] No, dad. You’re choice of movie was done last time. Today’s my turn.

[Gabriel] Are we sure my turn to pick is over?

[Nathalie] Yes.

[Adrien] Yes!

[Adrien] What about you as Darth Vader?

[Adrien tries to imitate Darth Vader]

[Adrien] Luke, I am your father.

[Gabriel] No.

[Nathalie] It’s No, I am your father. Not Luke, I am your father.

[Adrien] That can’t be right.

[Nathalie] Let’s find out.

[Gabriel] I am not-

[Marinette] Shush. Mother does not know best as of current. We do.

[Gabriel] I dislike you all as of current.

[Marinette] We know, Mother Gothel.

[Gabriel] Oh, for the last time-

DMS - Gabriel and Nathalie

Gabriel: How funny it is that yet again we find ourselves on this rooftop.

Gabriel: You were right.

Gabriel: As always.

Nathalie: Hmm?

Gabriel: It would become monotonous if I choose to freeze one moment.

Gabriel: I rather love to see my life full of moments like the one I wished to freeze.

Gabriel: One moment can never possibly compare to the another. They’re all special.

Gabriel: But most of all, I’m grateful that I get to share these moments with you.

Nathalie: You stole the words right out of my mouth.

Adrien: Great. Wonderful. What, what are you doing here?

Tikki: Didn’t Plagg tell you?

Adrien: He zoomed off to find camembert.

Adrien: Said he was starving.

Tikki: Well, it’s not wise to keep all the miraculous in the same place, is it?

Adrien: So, you’re staying?

Tikki: We’re staying.

Ladybug: YES!!

Group chat - 9AM RULE

Marinette: I didn’t mean to hide it from you.

Marinette: It was dangerous if you had known

Marinette: and things spiraled a lot

Sabine: We know, Marinette.

Marinette: you know?

Marinette: what

Marinette: how?

Marinette: how long have you known?

Sabine: A little after we tried to play monopoly again.

Sabine: It all made sense after that.

Sabine: You argue the same way when playing monopoly. Superpowers or not.

Marinette: wait so you two know about Gabriel and Nathalie?

Tom: Yes, we do.

Marinette: why didn’t you say something?

Tom: We could tell you had plenty of problems to deal with.

Tom: We thought it would be better to let you figure it out.

Tom: Tikki agreed.

Marinette: you talked to Tikki?

Sabine: And the other kwamis too.

Marinette: well then?

Tom: We’re not upset you hid this from us, ma chérie. We were just worried about you.

Marinette: I can’t believe monopoly gave us away

Sabine: You weren’t subtle.

Sabine: Tom, I wonder who she keeps texting.

Tom: She’s been missing a lot of classes, Sabine.

Sabine: She’s tired.

Tom: I wonder who she keeps talking to in her room.

Sabine: Do you know why food keeps going missing? Everything from Cheese Danishes, cookies, grapes to even tea!

Tom: Sabine, did you see them come through the front door? I wonder how they got up to them room when we were here the entire time!

Sabine: I wonder why Ladybug is so angry, it's only a 09:00 AM akuma.

Marinette: ok! ok! I get it

Marinette: you did not have to bring up the 9AM rule

Tom: We did not? It's the name of this group chat, sweetie.

Marinette: ok, fine

Marinette: I wasn’t subtle

Sabine: We’ll talk more about this. With the others, hopefully.

Tom: We were only waiting for you to tell us.

Marinette: sorry it took this long

Tom: It’s ok, ma chérie. Just remember we’re here for you whenever you need us. For whatever it might be.

 

Heroes group chat

Ladybug: they knew

Chat noir: They knew?!

Rena rouge: what the hell does that mean?

Carapace: makes sense

Carapace: I always thought Mrs. Cheng was all knowing

Ladybug: uhh

Wayzz: How did they know?

Ladybug: monopoly

Chat noir: You’re serious?

Carapace: I will cry If anyone ANYONE mentions monopoly again

Rena rouge: pinch me, I get to superhero and no mentions of monopoly!!

Carapace: ALYA I SAID NO MENTIONS 

Ladybug: Wayzz, what about Master fu?

Ladybug: doesn’t he require you?

Wayzz: Well…

Wayzz: Grand master Su-han, the other guardians, Master Fu and the kwamis had a long discussion over your situation.

Wayzz: It was decided they would let you keep your miraculous but they also decided that the ownership of the miracle box will end up with the grand master. Master Fu will have to renounce it.

Ladybug: oh

 

Group chat

Ladybug: Master fu, you agreed to transferring the ownership of the miracle box?

Master fu: Yes, I did.

Master fu: I see you got your kwamis.

Hawk moth: Transfer the miracle box? Kwamis?

Wayzz: The guardians have reached to a conclusion. Certain decisions were taken. One of them being that Ladybug, Chat noir, Rena rouge, Carapace, Mayura and Queen bee get to keep their miraculous with them unless circumstances require otherwise. The other being that Master Fu shall renounce his ownership of the motherbox to grandmaster Su-han who will reside in Paris, making sure the miraculous are safe.

Hawk moth: I see.

Master fu: I still have a little time before I do it.

Carapace: how much?

Master fu: A week.

Queen bee: You’re going to lose your memory then?  

Master fu: It is an outcome I anticipated.

Master fu: Anyway, I get to put this past me and start a brand new life!

Queen bee: What brand new life?

Master fu: Like a vintage piece trending again!

Hawk moth: Chloe.

Queen bee: Fine, I did teach him that

Master fu: Chloe, do me a favor.

Master fu: Remind me about the show after I lose my memory so I can watch it all over again.

Queen bee: This means I can’t steal the bunny miraculous easily?

Master fu: Bunny miraculous?

Mayura: Is that why you were spending time with Fu?

Plagg: darn it

Chat noir: Plagg?

Plagg: who do you think gave her the idea, kid?

Trixx: oh, this is genius

Tikki: No.

Plagg: Tikki.

Tikki: No.

Plagg: fineeee

Tikki: Plagg.

Plagg: ok ok

Master fu: I feel betrayed.

Master fu: Won't you teach me to be hip again?

Master fu: Hawky can join.

Hawk moth: Kwamis, no.

Queen bee: Don’t call it hip

Queen bee: Maybe I should try and see if Su-han is interested

Ladybug: ??

 


 

Chat

Gabriel: I was told you wanted to talk.

Gabriel: And that you’ve known.

Sabine: We have.

Sabine: Tikki informed in about the situation.

Gabriel: Why did you not say anything?

Tom: It was rather later that we found out about this. And by the time we were ready to talk about it, things had become twisted enough. We were waiting for one of the kids to approach us.

Sabine: We have much to talk about.

Gabriel: Yes, we do.

 

DMS - Chat noir and Ladybug

Ladybug sent a video

 

[Sabine] And this is her with her favorite tea-cup.

[Gabriel] Adrien would stop to pet stray cats on the street even as a child.

[Tom] Oh and this is when she somehow managed to get her hands on thread, and got all tangled up!

 

Ladybug: how did the end up looking at the photo album?

Chat noir: My lady, how did you find thread? 

Ladybug: that is so not the point!

 


 

DMS - Gabriel and Nooroo

Nooroo: How is everyone?

Gabriel: Nooroo?

Nooroo: Hello Gabriel.

Gabriel: What, what are you doing?

Nooroo: Messaging you?

Gabriel: No, I mean, this- Why?

Nooroo: I’m on official business here.

Gabriel: Official?

Nooroo: You see terrorizing a city using the miraculous is crime. Whether it be in the magical world or the non-magical world. This guarantee’s you a punishment to atone for your crimes.

Gabriel: Oh. I see. Su-han didn’t mention it.

Nooroo: I’m mentioning it now, am I not?

Nooroo: Well, we have a sentence ready.

Gabriel: Which is why you’re texting me?

Nooroo: That’s right.

Gabriel: Well, then, what are you waiting for?

Nooroo: There aren’t any big known threats to the safety of the miraculous. Which is why your sentence is lighter.

Nooroo: The guardians will be receiving daily reports of you, to access if you are guaranteed to no longer be a threat to a miraculous and that you don’t go spreading this information or do any shady business.

Gabriel: Don’t tell me they’re doing to send someone to keep eyes on me.

Nooroo: Oh, they are.

Nooroo: Aren’t you glad your sentence is unusually and extremely light?

Gabriel: Sure, I suppose. If you think being monitored day and night is cool.

Gabriel: Well, who is it? Is it Su-han or someone else?

Nooroo: You’re talking to him.

Gabriel: Talking?

Gabriel: Oh.

Nooroo: Well?

Gabriel: You’re not pulling my leg, are you?

Nooroo: No.

Nooroo: The kwamis (and Master fu- although, his opinion wasn’t held so high) advocated on your behalf.

Nooroo: It was a lot of effort, lot of convincing. You see, guardians don’t usually listen to kwamis. They gave in, eventually, since all of us were pleading.

Nooroo: I’m waiting for a thank you.

Nooroo: I’ll have you know, this is the first time I’ve advocated for a holder of mine, so I expect high reward.

Nooroo: Which reminds me, there are terms.

Nooroo: No misuse of the miraculous.

Nooroo: But you won’t have to worry about that since the miraculous isn’t going to be with you but with someone else. I can’t say more, legally. I’m bound by magic.

Nooroo: Oh and abundant amount of wine for me.

Gabriel: Thank you, Nooroo. I’ll keep wine ready for you.

Nooroo: The guardians would never have given in if not for Duusu’s tantrum, be sure to thank him as well.

Gabriel: I’ll remember to do that.

 

DMS - Duusu and Gabriel

Gabriel: I was told to thank you.

Duusu: Yes, yes, you better do

Gabriel: Thank you, Duusu.

Gabriel: I appreciate you.

Duusu: as you should

Duusu: where’s my gift?!?!

Gabriel: What would like as your gift?

Duusu: anything?

Gabriel: Anything.

Gabriel: That poster you were talking about?

[Adrien and Nathalie stand by the entrance. Adrien has a look of disappointment crossing his features, his arms are crossed. Nathalie is seen shaking her head lightly.]

[Adrien] Dad! It’s not even been a minute since Duusu came here, why is he already sobbing?

[Nathalie] This loudly too, what did you do, Gabriel?

[Gabriel] His wants are preposterous! I cannot grant him that!

[Duusu is wailing loudly.]

[Duusu] YESS YOU CAN, YOU MEANIE!

[Gabriel] You can’t be serious, we are not getting a hamster!

Mayura: Adrien?

Chat noir: I didn’t drink the coffee on the table, I swear!

Mayura: That wasn’t you?

Chat noir: No! Nathalie, believe me.

Mayura: That’s not why I’m here. We would like to talk to with you.

Chat noir: Talk?

[Adrien sits on a far end of the piano bench. The other end is empty. Light music fills the room.]

[Adrien looks sideways as he finishes the song. He turns his upper body to face his right side. Resting his hands on top of one another on the bench, he looks up to the space next to him. His lips quiver as he says the next words.]

[Adrien] Goodbye, Maman.

[The camera shakes. He smiles as he says this, yet a tea slides down his face. Still smiling, he closes his eyes gently. For a second, all is still, then his hands extend forward and wrap around the space in front of him.]

[Adrien] End of reunion.

[His hands fall back, limp. He turns to face the camera.]

[Adrien] Come on, Duusu. Let’s go downstairs.

[Weeping is heard as the recording stops.]

Ladybug: I have never dreaded Christmas THIS MUCH before

Chat noir: Scared for my life.

Hawk moth: Have some faith in me.

Ladybug: uh huh we’re not doing this again

Ladybug: you say this and something bad happens

Chat noir: One word away from seeing Mr. Pigeon out there again, huh?

Mayura: More like one cookie away from dying.

Chat noir: That’s more like it.

Hawk moth: You’ll see.

[Marinette stuffs the cookie in her mouth with an undesirable expression. Everyone else eagerly awaits her decision. Her eyelashes flutter quickly as her eyes get teary.]

[Gabriel] That bad?

[Nathalie] This is why I didn’t want to taste-

[Marinette] THEY’RE SO GOOD!

[Nathalie and Adrien look at her, puzzled. Gabriel and Tom beam at her. Sabine lets out a small chuckle.]

[Marinette] OH MY KWAMI.

[She looks straight at Gabriel.]

[Marinette] YOU’VE DONE IT!

[Adrien] They’re so good that you’re going to cry?

[Marinette ignores him and reaches for another cookie.]

[Sabine] All this practice seems to have paid off, Gabriel.

[Adrien takes a bite from the cookie as well.]

[Adrien] This Christmas is truly merry, [he turns to Nathalie] and full of miracles.

[Nathalie seems hesitant.]

[Marinette] I can’t believe this is real.

[Gabriel] I told you to have faith in me.

[Multiple groans are heard.]

[Marinette reaches for yet another cookie.]

[Marinette] Tikki, pinch me.

[The red kwami floats forward, and does as told.]

[Marinette] OW! Not that hard.

[Laughter erupts all around. A knock interrupts the laughter. Everyone turns to the origin on the sound, a window. Waving from outside the window, is Rena rouge. She beckons them and then jumps of. Marinette opens the window.]

[Marinette] You won’t believe what just happened-

[She utters the transformation words and jumps after Rena rouge. Adrien takes the extra box of cookies lying on the table with one hand, waves goodbye, transforms and follows his lady.]

[Sabine waves back, and then closes the window.]

[Nathalie] Well, here goes nothing.

[Nathalie takes a cookie to taste. Tom and Sabine follow her action. After a bite, Tom crosses over to the place Gabriel is standing, and puts an arm around his shoulder.]

[Tom] You’ve just been forgiven! Or I think so. These are good! Much better from your previous attempts.

[Gabriel looks at Nathalie expectantly.]

[Nathalie] I have to…agree.

[A smile breaks out on Gabriel’s face and he steps closer to Nathalie.]

[Gabriel] Really?

[Nathalie nods.]

[Sabine] Ah.

[Everyone looks at her. She grins and points to somewhere above Gabriel and Nathalie.]

[Tom] Ohhh! A mistletoe!

[Nathalie and Gabriel look at each other. A weird buzzing sound fills the room. Nathalie turns to looks somewhere behind both Gabriel and Tom. Duusu is positively glowing, buzzing with excitement. He looks like he’s about to combust.]

[Nathalie] Not a word, Duusu.

[Duusu] OHHH MY GOSHHH IT’S A MISTLETOE!

[He flutters around in circles, excitedly.]

[Nathalie] Not a wo-

[Duusu] KISS! KISS! KISS-

So that's it? he just disappeared?

Where is Hawk moth

I find it hard to believe, I bet they still talk to him.

User

If it weren't for the magic, we could have tracked him down!

Missing_moth

this is SO useless, torturing us with his tantrums and then disappearing when it's convenient for him

User

I wish Ladyblog would let us tag users spontaneously so I could annoy him

Where is Hawk moth

Notes:

The title names of the first chapter and the last chapter said together is my fav part about this whole thing. I did search a lot of the fish puns online lol.

This fic was unexpectedly an absolute delight (and a rollercoaster ride) to write. Thank you for the incredible amount of love you all have given it. Thank you so so much for all the kudos, the comments, and for reading!!

P.S. The only downside of writing this fic is the fact Gabriel redemption keeps haunting me now T.T
