Eric: you have a twin? Since when?

Ladan: I don't. But for stuff relative to the plot of the story...I guess I have a twin now.

Eric: I'm just glad you didn't put your real brother in the story

Ladan: *mutters* yet...

Eric: *distracted* what was that?

Ladan: *worried* NOTHING!

Eric: yeah, suuurrrrreeee

Ladan: anyways.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Eric: it's your birthday?

Ladan: I GIVE UP *flips table*
~~~~~~~~
Ladan's POV

"Now, is that any way to treat your twin?" Kaden asked, mockingly shocked. Did I forget to mention I had a twin? Let me give him a little description. He has chocolate brown hair. His skin was a slightly darker shade then mine because he spends his free time usually in the sun while I'm in the basement. His face was dotted with freckles and he had hazel eyes. Today, he wore a gray, harry potter themed tee with grey sweats and black Nike shoes.

"I guess not, but if you have nothing important to tell us, then get out. I seriously was doing something important." I said as Kaden crossed his arms.

"Are you stalking Percabeth again?" He asked. I knew he would keep bugging me until he got an answer so I just decided not to fight him for once and go along with it. Oh, how I hated going along with things.

"Umm... w-what? Yo-ou know I don't do that... Besides, they have classes now so it's useless." I fake stammered.

"I knew it!"

"Yeah yeah, can you go now, we are seriously busy right now." Eric said.

"Wow, thanks for the kind hospitality Eric" Kaden said as he looked in to see Eric, who was now reading a book and slightly waved. I hope Kaden didn't notice that Eric's book was upside down.

"Now leave, so I can get back to...stalking our brother." I sighed in defeat.

"Ella's back from the library. She can't find Tyson and she wants you to help." He said. Great, someone else who needs me.

"Tell her to meet outside the cabin in 5. Now, Bye bye!" I said and slammed the door in his face. Once I heard him walk away, I pulled down the book and got on my bed. Eric put the book away and almost missed the bed. When it was halfway down, Eric jumped onto it. I got very worried since the bed wasn't bouncy.

"Are you ok?" I asked since he's never done that before.

"Yeah, I just felt like pouncing on to the bed for once." Eric grinned. Yep, he's okay.

"Good, I couldn't bear the thought of you getting hurt because I didn't tell you it was being lowered and my pushiness to put the book back where you found it." I said as I crawled over and gave him a side hug.

"You over analyze everything way too much, you know that?" He said and I pushed him over.

When we got to the bottom, everyone turned towards us. "So what did Kaden want?" Aquaa asked.

"Ella's looking for Tyson, he told Ladan to help and she annoyingly agreed." Eric said.

"Well, I am the nice one of us-wait, you paid attention to our conversation?" I asked in shock. He almost always zones out unless it's a topic he likes.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" Eric replied. I had a random thought but I quickly brushed it off. It wasn't that important and it was most likely incorrect.

"Whatever, everyone back on the bed, Llea hit the button!" I said as everyone sat down and we started rising back up.

Adrien's POV

We were walking out of the cabin and saw the craziest thing ever.

"Ladan's here, finally. Ella needs help finding Ella's boyfriend. Ella misses Tyson."

"I'm going to change my top since someone got it wet and still is" Eric says and left to his cabin.

"That's the bird girl from a few days ago that interrupted my date in the park with Mari!" I shouted in horror and all my friends' faces were shocked once they realized it as well.

"huh?" Ladan asked.

"Right before, we came here, Adrien and I were on a date in the park and she flew over us. We though she was and akuma so we transformed and chased her all the way to Times square. She flew away before we could get to her." Mari explained.

"Oh, sorry about that. Ella was just scared. She doesn't like being followed or anything. She really means no harm." Ladan apologized and put her arm around Ella. "This is Ella, she's about the most friendly harpy you'll ever meet."

"Ella is sorry she ruined your date. Ella thought you were attacking Ella and Ella tried to fly away." Ella said. It was a tad annoying how she spoke of herself in the third person.

"Ladan, Ella can't find Tyson, help is needed." Ella said.

"Yeah yeah, Kaden told me your problem." Ladan said and closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. She quickly let go and opened her eyes afterward. "Marinette, come with me and get him please."

Mari's POV

I nodded and started to follow Ladan when I felt an arm on my wrist. I turned back to find Adrien reaching out. "Adrien, i'll be fine. I'll probably only be gone for a minute." I said and walked away.

"So where are we going?" I asked.

"Cabin 3 I believe Marinette." Ladan said.

"Call me Mari, its easier." I said.

"Mari." She said smiling. "Has a nice ring to it."

"So why did you tell me to come?" I asked her. Why didn't she let me stay with the others or take them with us?

"Because I wanted to talk to you since we have something in common." She said.

"And what's that?" I asked.

"We both are close to cat loving boys." She giggled. I started laughing along with her.

"That's true." I said as I tried to suppress my laughter. "I have a question though."

"Hmm, what?" She asked.

"Are you and Eric dating?" I asked seriously. She stopped and looked at me then laughed soo hard. I swear, if she had a drink, it would be all over me. "What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing really." She said wiping a tear of laughter from her eye. "I just never expected someone to think we were dating."

"But you too seem very close."

"We are, it's just that we have always been together and are so close we know what the other is thinking without being near each other. He's more of a bestie or my favorite brother... uh, don't tell Tyson, Kaden, or Percy I said that please. From what I know so far about you guys, let me just say that mine and Eric's relationship is sorta like yours and Alya's. It would seem weird to ship you guys as well, wouldn't it?" She said. I guess she was right, I would probably also laughed if someone shipped me and Alya.

"I guess I see where you're coming from." I said. Once we got to cabin 3, Ladan lightly knocked on the door then walked in. I followed her.

"Ty? You here?" Ladan asked.

"Ladan, what are you doing here!" the cyclops says energetically and hugs Ladan.

"C-can't b-breathe-e T-Y" Ladan wheezed and Tyson let go and apologized. "I have come to get you."

"Why?"

"Ella's back and she wants you... Blackjack? what are you doing here?" Ladan asked and I saw where she was looking. There was a black Pegasus walking casually around in the cabin. "Mari, show Tyson where Ella is. I'm going to try to get Blackjack out of here."

We walked out. Or rather, I walked out and Tyson skipped out with glee.

Ladan's POV

"Blackjack, what are you doing here?" I asked now that we were alone.

Why the fuck should I tell you?

I rolled my eyes. "Just tell me or I'll think about braiding your hair in front of Guido and Porkpie then dye you pink to look like pinky pi-"

Fine! just don't do that.

"Well, I'm waiting" I stomped my food impatiently.

I was hungry so I wanted to ask someone for donuts. I couldn't find you so I went to Tyson who was here and let me have 5.

"Yeah, I'm taking you riding later to get your energy out. You know how you are after too much sugar." He then had some choice unprintable words on why he didn't have a problem with sugar. "Yes you do, you curse too much when you have sugar. I'm taking you back to the stables. You can annoy Porkpie instead with your foul language. And this time, don't talk about Luke in that annoying way, you know he died saving us all from Kronos."

Yes mistress

"I like the sound of that! But call me anything." I said.

Ok crazy, i'll call you mistress if I'm in a good mood.

"And I'm assuming you'll call me crazy if you are not in a good mood?" I asked and he nodded. I jumped onto his back. "To the stables!"

Yes Mistress

We flew and I left him to annoy his friends just as the sugar flowed into his blood completely and he cursed more than a sailor. I ran off and back to the cabins quickly.

"I'm back!" I panted.

"Where were you?" Kaden asked.

"Tyson gave Blackjack 5 donuts so I had to take him back to the stables before the mass destruction broke out." I answered.

"Great, one more problem to deal with." He groaned.

"Ok, I'm back. It took soo fricking long to find a decently clean shirt." Eric said as he came up behind me. I turned and looked at his shirt. It was a new one, when did he go shopping without me? I took one look at it and thought I was going to puke.

"Genius is spelled wrong and that comes out to 130% so its factually incorrect in two ways," Kaden and I said in sync.

"Ok, now I see why everyone knows we're twins right away" I say while laughing.

"By the way sis, who are they and where did they come from?" Kaden asked as he pointed to Mari and her friends. Shoot! I completely forgot that Kaden came in my room when I was only with Eric and then I came out with 4 additional people.

"Oh, these are the new campers." I said as Kaden looked away from them and slightly shied away.

"Umm..hi?" Kaden nervously said. Did I mention he's a bit shy?

"Kaden, be a normal person for once" Eric said as we pulled and elbowed Kaden's rib cage.

"Urgh. You still didn't answer my question" Kaden muttered in annoyance. "They weren't in your room so where were they if they came out of cabin 6?"

"Malcolm wanted to meet them" I lied.

"Malcolm's at the canoe lake." Kaden crossed his arms, not buying my story.

"Wait, no. It was Bella who wanted to talk to them." I was worried he would call me out on the lie but he didn't. He actually bought it? Well I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.....That was a really bad analogy. Life lesson: always look a gift horse in the mouth, especially if it's a literal horse.

"What time is it?" Mari asked as we looked to the sky.

"I'd say about 6" Adrien answered.

"Dinner time! Lets go eat!" I said as we ran to the dining pavilion.

Mari's POV

Once we had all burned a portion of our food for our parents, Ladan told us we all had to sit with our cabins unless we had only one or two of us in it. She said that they were low on tables after Leo set a bunch on fire when Calypso kissed him on the lips in front of everyone. This meant that I could sit wherever I wanted. As I sat down next to Adrien I could see Alya and Nino looking at each other longingly from the tables they sat at. There was a girl sitting across from me who looked to be staring straight into my soul. It kinda startled me but maybe she was nice. Maybe we could be friends.

"Hi, I'm Marinette." I say kindly.

"Don't care. I was looking at my brother not you." She said. Great, she's a bitch.

"And why were you looking at Adrien?" I asked.

"Because he's hot and sexy and this is America so I have the freedom to look at whatever I want to. I don't know where you're from, but you need to know about our culture you foreigner!" The bitch sassed. Did she seriously just say that? God, she's even worse than Lila and the old, mean Chloe combined, and I've only just met her!

I felt my leg shaking slightly and was about to tell her off when I felt a hand on my leg. I looked over to see a certain cat winking at me, filling my heart with love. My leg stopped moving and I looked the bitch straight in the eye. "Look, I don't know who your or what you think you are, nor do I care but you can't talk to me like that." I shouted and she looked at me with a shocked expression as everyone around us turned away or suddenly thought their plates or laps were more interesting. Except for the Hermes cabin, Alya and Nino. Alya and Nino mouthed to ask if I needed backup but I shook my head. I could handle her. Alya was just about to pull out her phone to record this moment when she remembered she weren't supposed to have one.

"And why can't I talk to you like this, you foreigner? Who's going to stop me?" I felt Adrien's hand on my leg ball up into fists. Just great, the bitch had to say that.

"Don't you dare call Marinette a foreigner!" He threatened.

"Why does she matter to you Adrien? You're a world-famous, rich, and handsome model and she's, well she is a weakling with a minor godly parent! We are the children of the major gods. The ones everyone knows and learns of in the history books. Her mom's barely even mentioned." She shouted in disgust.

"That doesn't mean you have the right to be mean to anyone. Especially Marinette or you'll be sorry." Adrien warned.

"And why does this low-class peasant of a girl Marinette matter to you?" She snarled.

From a bit away, I could hear Alya shout to Nino "Oh, this bitch's going to get it." I rolled my eyes and smiled. Sure, I was being called mean names, but all my friends know that I can stand up for myself. Plus, I have my over-protective cat to defend me. This time though, I had to stop him from going insane.

"Adrien, don't do this. This girl isn't like Lila. And anyways, you know I can easily take care of her." I whispered as I leaned in close, not an inch from his face.

He muttered a "fine Purrincess, but first..." then he grabbed a hold of my check in a loving and tender way and closed the gap between us. It was soo calming, the familiar feeling in a relatively new place. I didn't know how much I needed this until now. Somewhere, in the back of my mind, I could hear the bitch screeching at us. I ignored her as I melted into the kiss. But too soon, he pulled away with a smirk, knowing I wanted more of him. Then, some bitch's snarls finally woke me from my trance.

"What is the meaning of this? A child of Aphrodite should not be kissing a nobody. Even the children of Hephaestus would be better than this low-class child of Tyche!" This bitch was really getting on my nerves. I looked over to Adrien for comfort and there was something different in his eyes than I've ever seen, and I've seen all types of things in his eyes like love, humor, evilness from the times he became an akuma's minion, lust...What? you know it's true. but this time it was like he was fighting some invisible force inside him. I believe he was winning.

"Drew!" one of the others at the table shouted. "Stop this! Why do you even care?" So Drew was the bitch's name, I like bitch better.

"Why should I piper? She doesn't deserve the love of this model." She said. "And if no one's going to stop me then I can keep doing it." That's when I knew that she was about to die...hopefully.

"Look, Drew, you may think that way, but everyone has their own opinion and choice on who they love. And besides, love is love. It doesn't matter where they come from or what they look like. Hell, it doesn't even matter what gender because love is love and it will always be that way and any smart child of Aphrodite should know that!" Adrien shouted as everyone stared at him, gawking. There was a lot of awkward silence until someone came into the pavilion shouting.

"Ok everyone, sing-a-long at the campfire starts in 5 minutes." The kid left and everyone awkwardly disposed of their meals and left. Once I got up and threw out the excess food, Adrien linked his hand to mine and we walked in silence, listening to everyone around us talking.

"That girl's a bitch." I said as we stopped and he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close to him.

"Yep. But the crazy thing was, for a second I actually believed what she said was true." He said.

"Charm-speak." Alya said as she walked over with Nino. "Piper explained to me what it was and how it worked."

"Apparently dudes, Drew and Piper have this rare Aphrodite power where they can control your thoughts and actions. You have to be really strong to even have a chance to overcome it." Nino said. since when did he become so informed?

"Then I must be really strong." My boyfriend boasts as he poses and flexes his muscles.

"Actually, it's more of an inner strength." Ladan says as she comes out of nowhere. "But I have to admit, those muscles are mighty fine."

"You may look, but don't touch my boyfriend." I said as I felt a bit of anger build up inside.

"Oh I know, I already ship you guys too much to try to get between you." Ladan said as all the anger melted away. I think I could trust Ladan enough to believe she wouldn't try to take Adrien from me. Plus, she couldn't do that even if she had charm-speak, our love was too strong.

"Question, would you rather go to a boring sing-a-long or watch movies in the basement for as long as we want." Eric asked as he leaned his arm on Ladan's shoulder.

"Movies." We all agreed. We went back to cabin 6 and into the basement.

"So what movie should we put on?" Ladan asked as she turned on the projector screen.

"Something romantic." I said.

"And comedic" Added Nino.

"One that's not too scary." Adrien said. How sweet, he knows I don't like anything too scary.

"And possibly one with a strong female lead." Alya said and we all looked at her weirdly. "What? Girl power!"

"So basically we're talking about Frozen?" Eric said nonchalantly and we all laughed at the thought.

"Oh my gods, that is true. Lets watch it." Ladan said in between laughs. Once we all calmed down, Ladan set the movie up and got out the snacks. We also pulled out another couch from a hidden closet with random stuff in it. We all sat in pairs to share the bowls of popcorn. Ladan and Eric were sharing one, and Nino and Alya shared another. I sat on the other couch with Adrien and the kwamis shared a whole bag of popcorn with each other next to us.

We laughed and talked until around halfway through the movie when we just sat in silence. Adrien and I finished our popcorn and set it on the table. As I got comfortable again, my boyfriend got me to just sit and snuggle with him. He put his arm around me as I leaned on his chest.

"Hey" He whispered in my ear.

"Hey" I whispered back. I turned to look at him and he caressed my cheek. I moved one of my hands to play with his blond locks, which he had recently decided to wear it more like Chat's style, I gently kissed him. He kissed back and started to tickle me. Luckily, the kissing had muffled my laughs enough for no one to hear. I started to tickle back, causing him to laugh and scream so much that he fell back and I fell with him since I was leaning against him. Now his whole body was on the couch and I was on top of him. he bad news was that we were in a suggestive position and Alya and Nino were staring. The kwamis were up on top of the fridge playing a card game and Eric and Ladan were laughing and showing each other stuff on the other's phones.

"This is not what it looks like" I say before a finger is over my mouth, shushing me. Ladan looked our way for a second before turning back to Eric. I sat up.

"Purrincess, it's not like this is the first time they've seen us like this, except that I'm usually the one on top." Adrien hissed in my ear.

"Yes kitty, I know you like to be the top cat" I giggled.

"The movie's over dudes... what now?" Nino asked as our friends ignored our position.

"Huh...Oh movie's over? Choose whatever you want. Aquaa show them how. Eric and I will be up on ground level." Ladan says and they leave.

"Alya, choose whatever you want but ignore us." Adrien tells them and I wanted to know what he meant when he pulled me down again. We started making out as he whispered "Purrincess" multiple times.

3rd Person POV

Adrien and Marinette were full-on making out on one couch while the kwamis were on top of the fridge playing a card game while eating a bit of their favorite foods.

"No fair! You're all cheating!" Plagg shouted as he threw the cards down in anger.

"Plagg, the only one who's cheating is you" Trixx said calmly without looking up from the cards that were bigger than they were.

"Says the person who cheats at everything" Plagg fires back.

"I don't cheat, I lie and play tricks." Trixx says, finally looking up.

"Same thing!" Plagg shouts.

"Just stop!" Tikki says as she covers her...ears?

"We both know that you both have cheated multiple times this game." Wayzz says in annoyance.

"No we didn't" The 2 arguing kwamis shouted in sync. They continued to argue until Wayzz flew into the fridge with Tikki to get more snacks that Trixx and Plagg finished 10 minutes ago. Soon after, both kwamis had fallen asleep in peace, leaning on each other like the brother and sister duo they acted like.

"those two" Wayzz said as he and Tikki pulled a small napkin they found over the sleeping bodies to act as a blanket.

"I know" Tikki agreed.

"By the way Tikki, who did you pick?" Wayzz asks and Tikki froze. She thought for a second before replying.

"Tomorrow, when everyone's gathered around cause I'm sure everyone will want to know right away." Wayzz nodded in understandment.

"Where did Llea and Aquaa go? Didn't they disappear before the last game?" Wayzz asked and Tikki looked around quickly.

"They're down there, helping Alya and Nino with the controls for the projector." The kwamis took a few moments to just watch their holders, Alya and Nino who almost figured out the controls and Marinette and Adrien who were now lying down on the couch with Marinette sleeping on top of Adrien who was playing with her hair.

"Our masters chose their mates well." Wayzz said.

"Yes" Said Tikki. "Yes they did" They sat on the ledge of the fridge in silence as they watched the humans.

Meanwhile with Alya and Nino...They had different thoughts on how the TV was controlled and Llea and Aquaa were watching and were no help whatsoever.

"Nino," Alya says in annoyance. "You press this button to go to the search bar.

"No its this button, that button will send it somewhere else." Nino argues as they tried everything. Aquaa and Llea were in human form and eating some mackerel that they warmed up from a different day.

"You know you are both wrong, its this button." Llea said as she finally showed them how. The couple decided to watch Wonder Woman.

Ladan's POV

I was lying on my bed as Eric was on the other one. It was a calming silence and we didn't want to wake Bella or Kaden who were both on the rooms next to mine on either side. I didn't realize how much I needed all of the past days' event to just sink in for once, it all feels so unreal.

"Have you ever wondered what our life would have been like if Abeer and Maham were at school that day?" Eric asked as he stared at the ceiling. Abeer and Maham were our mortal friends back in middle school. We still stayed in touch as I skype all my friends and watch over them sometimes. Those two were usually missing school to go somewhere but I knew exactly which time he meant.

"Yeah, sometimes. But I don't think it would have ended up that different from what life is now." I answered and turned to face him.

"We wouldn't be as close, that's for sure." I laugh slightly at that. But it was true, we wouldn't have been as close if it wasn't for that day. "Do you remember that day?"

I sighed, "like it was yesterday"

-Flashback-

It was Friday at school during Recess all the way back home in California. Abeer and Maham were 2 of our best friends but they had gone to Universal Studios for the day. We were all alone for the day and even with just one of us gone, it was usually boring. I've been a miraculous holder for about half a year or so and it was early August. I was a bit sad that day because one of my friends Maddie had earlier gotten the lead in the school play but turns out that she could only attend one out of the four performances. She just found out that she was going to visit her parents in another state. I didn't realize how sad she was on the inside until she got akumatized. I tried to make an excuse to ditch Eric and go transform.

"Hey, I gotta go use the bathroom-I mean a classroom-I mean I'm meeting a friend." We both said in sync. That's when I realized we were both making the same exact excuses to each other. Now that I think about it, we always make the same excuses to each other. I guess I didn't notice with the others there. That could only mean one thing.

"Go to the bathroom Eric," I said and he got up and was about to leave when I added, "Or should I say Leon?" He had stopped dead in his tracks.

"How the Hell?" He said as he whipped his head around.

"Please, I make the same excuses all the time" I answered nonchalantly.

"True, Abeer does call us the Leaky Lous. We use the bathroom excuse way too often. Wait... does that mean-that you're-wait..."

"That I'm Delphine? Yep, now to the garden to transform, no one should be there!" I shouted as we ran to an empty area. Our kwamis flew out from our bags.

"Finally you figured it out" Aquaa shouted in my ear.

"Oh, shut it. E, this is Aquaa" I introduced.

"And this is Llea" Eric said. "Llea mane fluffed!"

"Aquaa fins on!" I shouted as we both went through our transformation sequence. "Hey Leon, fancy meeting you here"

"Yeah yeah, you're soo punny. Lets just get this over with" He said and took a long leap as his currently black hair moved through the wind. Even back then, he changed his hair color, but at a slower pace.

"Coming!" I shouted and shot the water out of my trident to lift me off the ground. I landed on the roof of the cafeteria next to Leon. I saw a wave of destruction in center circle and knew the akumatized victim was there. We ran across the roofs and got as close as we could.

"I am the Thespian!" The thespian shouted once she saw us.

"Maddie" Leon and I muttered under our breaths. I didn't want to hurt my friend but I had to defeat the akuma.

"E-Leon! Hurry, we have 5 minutes before class starts. I have a math test and can't be late." I shouted over the destruction. From what I can tell, her power is that where the zapped people reenact scenes from multiple plays against their wills. And some were dramatic plays where everyone dies in it. Eric nodded and he distracted her while I summoned a water ball to surround her and stop the Thespian long enough to grab her necklace which looked like those happy and sad face masks. What were those called again? eh, I'm sure Maddie would answer later. I pulled it into my trident to purify it then healed the damage it had caused. Eric and I detransformed on top of a far off classroom and quietly climbed down. once we found our stuff, the bell rang.

"Soo, sleepover at my place to discuss this?" I asked and we silently made plans for after school. At home, we discussed about being miraculous holders and who Hawkmoth was and why he wanted the miraculous.

-End of Flashback-

That day had not only made our friendship stronger, but also our partnership.

"Who knew Maddie would make us realize each other's identities. I always thought we would tell each other when the time came" Eric said.

"In a way, I think the universe was telling us that it was time." I said and for the rest of the night, we were talking. Then it came morning and I realized I had to sneak 5 people and kwamis out of the cabin that was probably bustling right now. I checked the clock.

I realized then that we had an even bigger problem.

Wanna know what it was?

It's that every morning Kaden or Bella agreed to wake me up to say it's morning because I always 'sleep' in. Where in reality, I'm actually always in my basement watching a funny YouTube video or reading. This may be a problem with Eric in Aquaa's place and everyone trapped downstairs.

And by my calculations, Bella or Kaden will be knocking on my door within the next 5 minutes.
