Chapter 5
There was a long pause of silence.
"Stop doing that!! We can all relax, it's almost over." Volpnia yelled.
"You are sure nobody followed us?" Lady Wifi asked as her nerves were getting the best of her.
"As I told you, it would be absolutely, totally and in all other ways, inconceivable. No one in Bourgeois knows what we've done, and no one in Agreste could've got gotten here so fast." Volpnia bragged. Along paused passed before Volpina questioned "Out of curiosity, why
do you ask?"
"No reason. Suddenly, I just happen to look behind and something was there." Lady Wifi stated worriedly that their safety may or may not be jeopardy.
"Probably some local fisherman out for a pleasure cruise at night...through siren-infested waters." Volpina stated knowing how naive men could be when they chased after something they can't have.
Marinette dived overboard with a loud splash! Trying to make her escape. Swimming in one direction as fast as she could.
"Wha-wh-Go in! Get after her!" Volpina ordered. Caught off guard by Marinette's brave yet reckless actions.
"And get my phone wet? No thank you." Lady Wifi replied protectively patting the pocket of her outfit that her phone was put in.
"I only dog paddle." Bubbler said not knowing how to swim in great distances.
"DYEEAAHHHHHH!! VEER LEFT! LEFT! LEFT!" Volpina shouted as Bubbler took the wheel of the ship.
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT SOUND IS, HIGHNESS? THOSE ARE THE SIRENS. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME! JUST WAIT! THEY ALWAYS GROW LOUDER WHEN THEY'RE ABOUT TO FEED ON HUMAN FLESH.

Emma had a blanket pulled up to her face to hide her worried expression.
"Don't worry Mama doesn't get eaten by the eels at this time." Adrien reassured.
"What?" Emma coughed.
"The Sirens don't get her. Now, I'm explaining to the both of you because you two look nervous." Adrien said as he looked at the Plagg size bump underneath Emma's paw-printed pattern comforter that was shaking.
"I wasn't nervous. Well, maybe I was a little bit concerned, but that's not the same thing." Emma said her father as she fidgeted with the corner of the blanket.
"Because we can stop now if you want." Adrien said as he laughed as his daughter who tried to deny she was scared for the safety of the damsel.
"No, you could keep going a bit more, if you want." Emma said trying to prevent the story from ending on a cliffhanger.
"I'm not scared just cold." Plagg mumbled under the blankets.
"Should I tell Tikki you're a fraidy cat?" Adrien said jokingly causing Plagg to come out of hiding and go to sit atop of Emma's head. Plagg scoffed at Adrien as he made himself a comfortable spot to listen to the rest of Adrien's story.
"Do you know what that sound is, Highness? Those are Sirens." Adrien continued.
"We passed that, Daddy." Emma complained stricken with the same annoyed expression as the black cat kwami on her head.
