... So Hi, Sorry I vanished on you guy. My personal life fell apart and writing wasn't a helpful escape. And nothing I wrote was good, but I'm back so let's get at it!

The two arrived at Master Fus and transformed in his porch, which in the past had been a way to keep identities a secret. But they had no way of knowing if Nino and Alya were here yet.

"Hi, Master!" Ladybug waved as she walked in. 

"Welcome Ladybug and Chat Noir. Rena and Carapace are not here yet so let us speak frankly. How are things after one day?" 

"Things are fine. I need to find her swimsuit so I can help bathe her. I can't keep having Alya come over and do it for me." Adrien rubbed the back of his neck. 

"Ah, yes I hadn't thought of that. Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out." Fu smiled at the man, he'd come a long way from the silly boy he knew when he gave him the black cat. "Well I've contacted the other Guardians, and none for them have seen this before. But they all agree that I can't have her retry the treat I made. It runs the risk of making her even younger. Or even worse. We also can't have her take off the earrings as it could make this permanent. There is one thought that maybe if she fights in a battle and uses the Miraculous Ladybugs that it will age her up again." 

"I miss being myself. But I think I know why I can't remember my civilian self." Ladybug smiled. 

"Oh tell us wise little bug" Chat teased. 

"Well kids have no filter, so what would make sense that I can't remember if my identity needs to be a secret." She stuck her tongue out at Chat. 

"That is actually a good idea, Pounded it little bug!" Chat beamed. 

"I knew I picked the right ladybug." Fu smiled. 

After a bit of chatting Nino and Alya arrived and they tested a couple of Masters Fu's Ideas. One idea was to see how long Rena could keep two illusions going. She had gained the ability to run two illusions at once two years ago.  But it wasn't easy especially since she did have Trix with her all that time. If she could time it to have her Ladybug illusion fade behind a wall she could do it. The next idea was to have Carapace and Ladybug work with visible and invisible drinks. They also tested if all four of them could use it. It also worked. Thanks to Master Fu's use of Pegasus they could train anywhere in the world and not let the press find them. 

After a few hours, they have a good rhythm going. Master Fu nodded in approval and they headed back. "Rena and Carapace, I thank you for your willingness to work with us. I will recommend to Ladybug that the four of you become a team full time and that they have a reveal after Ladybug and Chat have theirs." Master Fu smiled at them both. 

"Hold up, Dude you're telling me that they don't know who they are!?" Carapace couldn't believe it. 

"I can't remember anything about being Ladybug when I'm not and vice versa." She shrugged.

"Ah! That's why she can stay with you." Rena nodded. 

"Yep." Chat picked up his little lady. "But she's much more fun as a civilian." 

"Chat! Down! Now!" LB yelled. 

"See what I mean!" The group giggled. 

The other two heroes left and Chat and LB let their transformation fall. "Oh it's late, I should get Mari home and some supper in her soon. But we have more stop to make before we get home." Adrien smiled at Mari and she reached up to him. He laughed and picked her up. 

"Adrien, maybe tonight show her about her life as Mari or as Ladybug, I'm wondering if we can slowly age her up, I know it makes Ally confusing, but if it starts working we can hide her unless we need her as Ladybug because she'll be old enough to understand fully." Master Fu was really out of ideas. He was worried he couldn't refuse this. 

Adrien nodded and they headed to Mari's apartment. "Adrien what are we doing here." Ally looked around not knowing where she was. 

"Well Ally my best friend Marinette is gone for two weeks and she needs me to look after her plants." Many of Mari's neighbours knew Adrien and saw him here often so they didn't look twice. 

"Ohh!" Mari understood, Adrien was going to find things to show her. 

"Well, this is it." Adrien opened the door and let Mari in. "Anything look familiar?" 

Mari looked around. The space wasn't huge but it wasn't small either. She had a cute kitchenette, and a cozy living room, that had a day bed. "Adrien?" 

"Yes Mini Mar?" He hummed looking at her bookshelf for the photo Album he had made her as a gift last year. 

"Why is there a bed in here?" She pointed. 

"Ah! That's easier to show." Adrien walked her back to what would have been the bedroom in this one-bedroom apartment. He opened the door and showed Mari her sewing room. "You couldn't afford a two-bedroom apartment and refused to let me rent a three-bedroom with you. You can up with this arrangement. You treated your space like a studio apartment and treat this as an office. So your work here and we used the roof for photos. If we can't rent anywhere. It works well." 

"Oh..." Mari walked around, "This is all mine?" She looked at the fabric and the sewing machine and smiled, "Wow!" 

Adrien walked over to the closets, "You think all this is cool, at this," He threw open the doors, Maris and eyes popped open. "I own all of these?"

"Sweat heart, you made them!" Adrien smiled at her.

"Wow, I'm really good." she blushed. 

"One of the best. And these are the first drafts, and they look so good that everyone assumes you buy your own clothes, in fact, 90% of my wardrobe is made by you."

"Oh... Wow." Adrien could tell this was a lot for the little girl to handle. 

"Here, I'll show you your ad, Nino, Alya, you and I made. You did this really cool evening line and Luka wrote this melody and during a jam session, we wrote words to it and made it add for this line and it worked well because all four of us modelled along with other friends. It marketed many of our friend's skills." 

Adrien put Mari on his lab and hit play on the laptop. The ad showed videos of people who she assumed were her friends wearing plain everyday clothes. Then snapping their fingers and switching into gorgeous evening wear. And all paring off to what she believed had to be their lovers. Adrien played both her lover and paparazzi. She played her self it seems, a clumsy girl who when she snapped her fingers became this graceful girl implying her evening wear made you confident.

"Woah! Adrien, we did that?" Mari was shocked. 

"Yep little lady we did. It started your best sale thus far." Adrian took her off his lap and stood, "Come on little one, we need to feed you, lets go to my house." 

Mari, let the video play in her mind, Nino had teased Adrien about not having a girlfriend then why did they play a couple in this video. What did she not understand about her older self?
