"Can I come in Julia?" Ladybug asks.

My eyes widen. I turn to Wyatt and see what I can assume is my same expression of shock mirrored on his face.

"Uh, sure Ladybug." I say. She swings in through the window, landing in the middle of the room.

"Hey! How are you?" She asks, completely oblivious to the boy not far from her. He's not even hiding, that's how oblivious these people are. I'm not complaining though.

"I'm good! How are you?" I respond casually.

"Well I toottally get now what you mean about Lila, She is worse then Chl-" she stops completely, having turned around to sit in my chair, but coming face to face with Wyatt.

He waves, trying to act cool.

"Uh, hi." He says. Ladybug turns to me, her eyes asking 'What the flip is he doing here Julia and what does he know.'

I look down, fidgeting with my hands.

"Uhh you see Ladybug, he is sorta like me." Both of the people in my room turn to stare at me with wide eyes.

It is obvious they are waiting for an answer.

"Yeah well uh, he sorta knows also.... Because yeah like I said he is, um, like me in, y'know... that way??" I say, trying to explain without saying it out loud.

I watch her face, seeing the moment when she gets what I'm talking about. "Ohhh you mean that." She looks at me suspiciously, obviously not fully convinced of my lie.

Wyatt is practically screaming questions with his eyes. Well, if eyes could scream.

Suddenly my phone chirps. I check it, and see that it's Alya. "Alya's asking me if I wanna hang out with you guys Friday." I read out loud.

"Alya!" Ladybug exclaims. "I totally forgot! Gotta go guys! See ya!" She says in a typical Marinette style as she swings across the street.

"What did you tell her?" Wyatt asks as soon as I close the window.

"Well, I sort of told her that we are from the future? Obviously I couldn't tell the whole truth because... y'know we can't break the fourth wall. Plus how weird would that sound. like 'Yeah actually I'm from a different universe where this all is actually a show..'" I laugh.

Wyatt joins in laughing, "Of course. That makes sense. So, since we're here for a little while, wanna make the most of it and get some ice cream? Maybe go up the Eiffel tower?" He offers.

"I... didn't think about that before! Sure! Let's go!" I exclaim, running to the bathroom to change into one of the only original outfits I have. It's a really cute. I add a cute necklace and hat to tie it together.

We take selfies in front of the Eiffel tower, and it reminds me of home.

Wyatt notices my sudden change in mood, and we sit down on a bench.

"What's up?" He asks.

"I just..kinda miss home, y'know? It's probably been months since we've been in our world." I confide in Wyatt.

"It's okay. If you wanna go back, we can." He assures me.

I smile at him. "Thanks." And with that, we head back toward my house.

Friday comes, and Marinette's dad arrives at school. When we learn he is going to teach us baking, Wyatt and I exchange a look.

We are most likely thinking the same thing: Despair Bear.

After the whole fire fighter drama, and school is let out, I find Wyatt.

"Hey." He says smoothly.

I laugh. "Hey yourself."

We start walking, not really sure where we are going.

"So, if you get invited, are you going?" Wyatt asks vaguely, knowing I know what he's talking about, but not giving too much away in case someone is listening.

"Not sure. I wanna go to see, y'know, but don't wanna get in the way of.... Anything." I reply, equally as vague.

He nods. "I was thinking the same thing."

Except.. It was too tempting to refuse, so we end up going to the party. We dance together, and it for a second it feels like a ball, in a high school casual way.

Before we know it Despair Bear is akumatized. We start to run out but I see him coming for us, closer to Wyatt and stop, letting him grab my leg instead.

The next thing I know Wyatt is holding me up. "Julia? Julia are you okay?"

I stand up and look around, disoriented. "What happened..?" people are still running, one every now and then being controlled.

"Despair Bear controlled you.." Wyatt frowns. "I saw you stop...Did you let him control you..?"

I shrug. "No..I don't remember..it was kind of a blur." I lie as we slip outside into the nice crisp air. 

We say goodbyes and I collapse on my bed and fall asleep.
