"Plagg, what happens, next?"

Plagg rolls his eyes. "I am sure I do not know what you mean."

"Plagg, be honest with us now."

"Why are you angry?"

   "We won't know the rest of the story unless you tell us,"  Tikki whines.

    "Fine, but I must warn you, it is mushy," Plagg complains.

   
       "Out with it, Plagg," Chole retorts.

       "Yes, what she said,"  Alix agrees.

        "Just tell us already," Tikki demands to know.

         "We ship Adrienette, so just tell us,"  Nathaniel remarks.

           "The thing is Marinette and Adrien..." Plagg yawns.

         "Plagg, stop it." Kagami blurts out.

           Kagami slaps Plagg.  

       "Ouch, what was that for?"  Plagg whines.

       "Plagg, do not stall for time." Kagami sneers.

           "I am not,"  Plagg complains.

          "Uh, yes, you are stinky sock," Tikki scolds him.

          Plagg hates it when Tikki is right.

      "Cheese is better,"  Plagg states.

       "Cheese, better in what way?"  Chole raises an eyebrow.

        "It does cheat on you, lie to you, or leave you,"  Plagg brags.

          "Maybe, but does cheese hug, comfort, kiss, or laugh with you?"  Tikki inquiries.

          " Well, no, but ..."

            "No, but's Plagg.  Just get on with the story,"  Tikki yells at him.

              "Okay, but you did not have to yell,"  Plagg tells her.

            Plagg smiles at his friends who remain gathered around him.  

        "I promise not to stall anymore, everyone."
