After the akuma attack with Befana and the surprise birthday party, Marinette was exhausted. She flopped onto her bed with a smile on her face. Her cousin, Bridgette was coming to live with them. Her parents had died in a fire accident two years ago, and Bridgette was stuck at boarding school ever since. Despite the tragedy, Bridgette came out stronger than ever. Marinette was on the edge of her seat to hang out with that bubbly personality of her cousin.
Tomorrow was going to be great. Possibly the best day ever. After her birthday, at least. Marinette could feel it. Marinette had just closed her eyes to hear her Kwami shaking her hard.
"Marinette!" Tikki chirped. "You don't want to be late to meet your cousin at the airport!"
Marinette glanced over and saw the bulging numbers. 11:25. Bridgette was arriving at 11:30. Marinette told her parents she would pick up her cousin. There was no way she could get to the airport in time. Unless…
"Hey Tikki, I have an idea."
"I know what you're thinking," the kwami sighed, "and the answer is yes."
"Tikki, spots on!"
-o0o-
Adrien was beyond excited. He had gotten to the airport an hour early. Felix was finally coming back from London. The past few months, Adrien had been writing to Felix in their secret code saying he had something extremely important to tell him. He was going to tell him about Chat Noir.
When Adrien first mentioned the idea to Plagg, Plagg said, "Kid, are you nuts?"
"I can't live a double life if he's always by my side!"
"It's. A. Secret."
"I know, I know, but Felix is way too observant. He watches me like a hawk. He would totally start putting the pieces together."
After arguing for what seemed like forever, silence filled the air. Plagg made a serious thinking face for the first time since Adrien had worked with the black kwami. Plagg let out a big sigh. "You had better give me a ton of camembert for compensation."
"Thanks Plagg! I knew you'd be okay with it!" Adrien was so relieved to have permission to tell Felix about his double life.
Adrien was getting antsy. Was the plane late? Where was Felix? He glanced at the clock on the wall. 11:29. The plane would arrive at 11:30. There was absolutely nothing to worry about. He sat down and checked his phone and got an alert from the Ladyblog.
"Ladybug was spotted heading towards the airport?" Even Adrien chuckled at his pun.
Seeing Felix and maybe Ladybug? This day couldn't get any better.
-o0o-
Ladybug was zipping across town as if there was an akuma to attack. She landed at the airport and ran into the restroom.
"Spots off." She ran out of there and ran toward the arrivals sign. She skidded to a stop. Whew. 11:29.
Marinette commented to Tikki, "See, I knew I could make it on time."
"Hey, Marinette!"
"A-Adrien?"
"What are you doing here?" They both said. "You first." They laughed, and Marinette put her hand on her head out of nervous habit.
"Marinette, you first. Seriously."
"W-Well, I'm, um, here to meet my, uh, cou-"
"Adrien, is that you?" a voice approached.
"FELIX!"
The brothers embraced, but Adrien was obviously more excited than the one called Felix. Adrien's white jacket and black shirt stood out from Felix's black vest, black tie, and black button up shirt. Besides their hair being parted opposite ways, she wouldn't have been able to tell the boys apart if she didn't know Adrien better.
"Marinette," Adrien said, "this is my twin brother, Felix. Felix, this is Marinette, my classmate."
"Nice to meet you, Felix!" Marinette happily said.
"The pleasure is mine." Felix cordially said without a smile. "Adrien may have mentioned you a couple of times."
Adrien mentioned me to his twin?! Mari had almost forgotten why she had come in the first place. Wait, Adrien has a twin brother? Her thoughts were interrupted by a very familiar voice.
"Sorry! Excuse me! Coming through! MARI!"
Before Marinette could say anything, she saw Bridgette slip over a napkin on the ground. She tumbled into the threesome, and Bridgette rolled over in laughter.
"I am so sorry about this!" Bridgette exclaimed in her tears of joy. "I guess fell head over heels for you." She gestured to Felix.
Felix stared at her blankly as Adrien laughed at Bridgette's pun. Marinette shook her head as she introduced Bridgette to Felix and Adrien.
Felix got up and dusted himself off. "Adrien, we should get going to meet Father."
Adrien nodded "Okay, Felix." He turned to the girls. "Nice meeting you Bridgette! Bye Mari!" Adrien could not help thinking how similar the two girls looked.
He called me Mari...
"Earth to Marinette?" Bridgette said, "I couldn't tell the difference between those twins except for their clothes. And their hair. And how dreamy Felix looked. I can't wait to get to know him better. How long have you known them?
Marinette woke up from her trance. Dreamy? Felix? "Um, Adrien has gone to my school for the past nine months. I just met Felix a few minutes ago. I didn't even know Adrien had a twin brother."
"Well, we'll just have to talk to them more often then."
"I can introduce you, but I honestly don't think Adrien will want to talk to me for long."
"What are you talking about Mari? I know you guys will be able to get together just like I'm going to get Felix."
"Wait, you like Felix? He's so-"
"Dreamy…. Let's get to the bakery! We can talk to Aunt Sabine and Uncle Tom; then you can tell me all about Adrien!"
"What makes you think I know about Adrien?"
Bridgette smirked. "You mention him every time we're on the phone."
Marinette's face was more colored than a tomato. "Uh, no I don't!" She looked down at her purse to see Tikki incessantly nodding her head.
Bridgette laughed as she and Marinette walked towards the bus stop to head back to the bakery.
