The group of friends starts to panic when it dawns on them Nino is right. 

       Where did the noise come from?

      "Who is there?"  

       Nino shakes.

      Alya trembles.

     Adrien stands there with a ticked off look on his face.

   Marinette rolls her eyes but begins to shiver.

      "Boo, boo!" The mysterious noise is heard again.

    "Who?... Who are you?"  Alya shouts.

       An owl stretches at them as it swoops down from the tree. It lands beside them and picks up a rat. It eats it right in front of them. Then, it grabs up a snake. Off it soars into the sky.

       The foursome laugh. Imagine them afraid of an owl. 

      "Goodness, I do not know about you guys, but I feel so relieved."

      "Same, here, girl."

      "Same."

     "What about you, A-Adrien?"

     "Hmm, oh, right. I am glad it was not anything dangerous too."

      Adrien reaches over and holds Marinette's hand.  He is not even sure what made him do such a thing. Normally, he does not.

    Marinette blushes yet smiles.

     Nino nudges Alya and smirks.

    Adrien grins.

       Chloe arrives. She waves at them.

       "Guys, and Gals, guess what?"

      "Let me think..."

     "I have no idea."

      "How should I know?"

      "I am not sure."

      "What?"

      "I saw this huge, ugly, white flying ghost brush past you all that is what," Chole says, with a satisfied grin.

        The others roll their eyes.

       Alya throws her arms in the air.

      "Will she ever learn?"

       "What?  Adrikins, you, believe me, right?"

          "Well, Chole, see the thing is we did not see any such thing."

          "Oh, so know you imply I am lying. Huff, so much for being my friend." She retorts and stomps off.

        "Talk about a mood."

          The four friends continue to chat.  A loud crash is heard, then a boom!  

              Adrien lets go of Marinette's hand. He runs off, but not before making sure Marinette is somewhere safe.

           "Be careful."

            Marinette nods her head.

           Adrien takes off and calls out, "Plagg claws out!"

         Marinette looks at Tikki, and grins.  "Tikki spots on!" She transforms.

            Nino transforms into Carapce by saying,  "Wayzz, Shell on!"

              Alya hides.

             "Here, take this, it might come in handy."

            "Thanks, Ladybug!"

           "Sure no problem. Oh, and welcome back to the team!"

                 Ladybug swings away off to find Luka.
