"Ladybug ladybug!"

I barely had gotten out of the dressing room when I see The Bubbler jogging towards me. He smiles when I give him my attention and quickly wipes the sweat of his forehead.

"Hey, how's my favorite Dj?" I exclaim, grabbing my water bottle out of my bag to take a sip. He chuckles.

"Pretty good LB. I wish I could talk with you longer but I gotta be on stage in a little. I was going to ask, do you mind coming up on stage with me and answering a few questions? You're kind of a big deal right now" He says. I laugh and take a swig of water.

"Sure! Why not!" I say, flattered at his request. He smiles brightly and extends his hand, grasping onto mine. He guides me through the crowds as we slowly make our way to the stage.

Lights flickered across the ginormous room and when we finally reach the stage, he leaves me by the stairs.

"Stay here while I make an introduction. When I introduce you, walk up the stares and onto the stage. I want to give you a dramatic entrance."

I nod and he hands me a microphone before walking up onto the stage. The light above him turn on, letting everyone know his presence. The crowd screams.

"Ladies and gentlemen, dancers all alike. I'm your DJ, the Bubbler, and I have a very special guest this night. The one that's on everyone's mind since recently. May I proudly present..."

A bright spot light beams onto me and I squint my eyes. I look to the Bubbler.

"Ladybug!"

The crowd screams as I walk on stage, shaking hands with the Bubbler. I laugh nervously into the mic and wave to the crowd.

"It's great to have you here LB. How are you feeling after yesterday's events?" He questions. I proudly smile.

"I feel amazing! Shocked but amazing!"

His eyes sparkle. "That's great to hear! Now there's one thing I've been meaning to ask you Ladybug."

"Ask away!"

"Are you planning on entering the TDO's this year? I hear people are looking forward to hearing your decision."

I snicker.

"You know teammates aren't my style Bubbler. What makes you think I'll enter this year?"

"Well the prize money is big this year. Up to 2,000 dollars! You'd be dumb to pass up the opportunity!"

I stay quiet for a little. This thing may actually be fun. And he's kinda right. I would be stupid to not enter. I raise the mic to my lips.

"I'll think about it"

Cheers fill the room and the Bubbler laughs.

"That's what I'm talking about! Also there's one more thing" he says.

"There's a rumor that Chat noir is wanting to be your partner in the competition if you do enter. How do you feel about that? Thinking about accepting his request?"

The crowd fills with ooooooo's and I feel my face get hot. I look around the crowd. I know he's watching right now.

I look to the Bubbler again and smirk. A big enough smirk for anyone to see.

"No comment" I say, almost laughing at the bubblers surprised expression. I wink at him, and he smiles. He knows my decision.

The crowd screams once again in excitement and I feel someone staring at me in the distance. I turn to look towards back stage and there he is, his eyes glowing.

He smiles.

And I smile back.
