Right at 4 pm, the four friends meet up at the park!  Just as Nino thinks, he might be wrong about his theory, he smiles. There is no way he could be wrong.  Chances of that are like what?  One in a million!  Nino grins big.  He is certain that he is right on target.

     "Nino, what you so smug about lately?"  Alya ask.

   "She is right you have been rather out of it, recently."  Marinette says.

   "Well, I am glad you asked.  See the thing is I believe I know the identity of our very own Chat Noir!"  Nino says.

   "Haha, as if, no one knows this not even you." Marinette says.

   "Yeah, Nino!  That is not even possible,man!"  Alya says.

  "Laugh, all you want too. I am still sure I am right."  Nino says.  

  "Hi, guys what is up?"  Adrien says.

  "Oh, nothing much!" Alya says.

 "H-hey, A-Adrien!"  Marinette says.

 "Nino here thinks he can tell who Chat is, can you believe it?"  Alya says.

  "What?  Why that is fantastic!"  Adrien says. He thinks, there is no way he really knows, is there?

  "I am glad my buddy believes me even though you girls doubt my wisdom."  Nino says.

  "Well, what kind of best friend would I be if I didn't support you?"  Adrien ask.

  " I knew I picked the right man for the job of my bestie."  Nino says.

  Alya just rolls her eyes while Marinette giggles under her breath.  The girls both think that either Nino is just plain crazy or  an attention seeker.  

   "Nino, is Chat Noir someone we have meet in civilian form?" Alya ask.

   "Funny, you should ask, Alya!  I do believe we have seen him on many occasions." Nino says.

   "Haha, that is so funny!  There is no way that is true!"  Marinette says.

   "Oh, yeah, well I believe you will not laugh again, once I collect more proof."  Nino responds.

   "Nino, I don't mean to give you trouble, but how could you know who Chat is when even Ladybug herself has no idea who he is?"  Adrien ask. He thinks, I sure hope this is not a give away to the reality of the matter.

   "He has  a good point there, Nino." Alya says.

  "Yeah, there is no way you could know something no one else does. Haha!"  Marinette says.

  "Oh, yeah well, I have to admit at first I had my doubts.  But now, I am sure I am accurate as to who he is behind the mask."  Nino says.

  "Well, then who is Chat?"  Alya ask.

  "Yes, who?"  Marinette ask.

  "Yeah, come on tell us man!"  Adrien says.

  "Well, you see the thing is he is..." Nino trails off.

  "Hmm,what is the matter Nino, cat got your tongue?" Alya teases him.

  "I believe he is closer than you think." Nino says.

  "You mean you are saying he could be someone we know personally?"  Marinette says.

  "Yes, that is exactly what I mean!"  Nino says.

  "I don't mean to put you down, dude, but what about the fact Alya was proven wrong about Chloe being Ladybug?"  Adrien ask.

  "Yeah,A-Adrien, is t-totally r-right th-there!"  Marinette says.

   "Hey, that was a simple mistake!  How was I to know her outfit, mask, and yoyo were just cosplay items she found on ebay?"  Alya remarks.

   "Oh, don't be so hard on Alya!  Besides, anyone could have made the same mistake." Nino says.

   "Besides, my proof is more than just a simple random sight of someone who looks like the guy." Nino says.

  "Wait, but I thought you said you needed more proof."  Alya says.

  "Same here!"  Marinette and Adrien say at the same time.

  "You know what!  Just forget it! "  Nino says. He walks away upset that his friends don't believe him.
