Miraculous Ladybug - Team Sleepover for the Heroes (Private for Zack)

[Sarvan]

Phénix listened to Byakko's explanation with great interest, as he didn't know much about the other Miraculouses besides his. And Orikko was so self-centred, he never talked about the other kwamis except to tell how great he was compared to them. "Then I confirm my choice some more, I'd love to empower my friends and help them when they're in need!" he added, smiling brightly.

Viperion laughed back at Pegasus' remark, rubbing the back of his head: "Yeah, I suppose getting a guitar would be asking for too much! But who knows, just like our costumes change when our Miraculous is used by another person, maybe weapons do to!". Then, when Monkey King revealed he would've picked the Snake Miraculous, Viperion smiled and asked: "So what exactly would you do, being able to go back in time so that nobody would know? Would it involve wedging Chat Noir some more while his guard his down?".

Phénix, on the other end, was quite surprised by Pegasus' choice: "I always thought you liked precision and facts, Pegasus, I wasn't expecting you to be interested into something so 'odd' like the Ladybug Miraculous!". Then, laughing a little bit, he quickly added: "Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you'd be the smartest guy to figure out how to use a pencil to defeat a giant Akuma or something like that".

"And where would you like to go, Byakko?" Phénix then asked at his feline friend, wondering why he'd have picked the Horse Miraculous.

Chat Noir had finally reached the roof of the building where the secret hero meeting was taking place, landing perfectly on the top of an antenna. It felt like it had been ages since he'd gone out to get the diapers for the dare, and now he was finally back again. He couldn't show them how exhausted from everything (mainly, getting blackmailed) he was, so he backed it up and put on the best smile possible.

"Alright... Let's see their faces when I'll show them I didn't chicken out from my dare!" the Cat hero grinned, before jumping off the antenna and entering the building, aiming for the department where the heroes were having their sleepover. He quickly walked the stairs until he was finally in front of the entrance door and, taking a deep breath, he pressed the handle and shouted: "I'M BAAACK!".

Monkey King laughs mischievously. "That is a possibility, but you said so, not me." The monkey hero says a little laugh.

"Lady bug did something like that, it is not clear what she did, but with that they defeated Climatica with her volcano." Pegasec said remembering that day.

"The world is a very big place, so many things to see, people to meet, food, art, music, culture and traditions. There are so many options that I don't know where to start." Byakko said imagining various parts of the world and the things he could find. All while his tail moves by rattling his rattle.




The tiger covered his ears with the Chat noir cry.

"Welcome back, cat-boy." Monkey king says
with a smile. "Did you find the diapers you were looking for or what took you so long?"

[Sarvan]

Viperion smirked at Monkey King and, leaning a little bit forward, said: "I may have said so, but you've certainly thought about it, haven't you?", giving him a little wink. He had gotten to know Monkey King so well that night, he could more or less guess what his plans with the Snake Miraculous would be. On second thought, maybe it was a good thing he didn't get to become its holder in the first place, otherwise Paris would've had a serious problem with pants disappearing out of nowhere!

And speaking of people appearing out of nowhere, when Chat Noir made his great entrance the Snake Hero turned around and waved his hand: "Welcome back! We were getting a little bit worried because you weren't coming back, we even played 'would you rather' as we waited!".

"Thanks, Tarzan" Chat Noir fired back at Monkey King, sticking his tongue out. Apparently, nothing had changed as he was away, Monkey King was still his usual, insufferable self, but that didn't bother him much anymore. Nodding back at Viperion, the Cat Hero quickly said: "Sorry, I had to deal with a most unpleasant clerk as I was out... I had never met a person so unlikeable, even Hawk Moth would've been friendlier than him!", sounding way angrier than he would've liked to.

However, the main culprit was now in front of him. He walked right to Byakko, the person who dared him to do such a stupid thing, and pointed his finger at his nose, yelling: "Listen well, you jerking moron! I don't care if you're drunk, I just did what you asked me to do, how is it for a guy who 'lacks masculinity', uh?", before searching inside the shopping back without looking, "You rambling fleabag, you can't imagine what a pain in the ass you were! I hope you'll cream your briefs again, that's the only thing you're good at!". Unfortunately for him, he didn't know Byakko was back to his usual, kind self and, assuming he was still drunk, Chat Noir completely unleashed his insults right at his face.

"But there you go!" Chat Noir then shouted and proudly raised the box teenage diapers he bought. Or better, the one the clerk had picked for him: Chat Noir was expecting a normal, bland model, so he didn't notice the ones he was holding above his head, for everyone to see, were probably the most childish one available, with bright colours and cartoonish designs. On the front of the box, with flashing letters, there was a note: "For accidents day and night; taking care of your 'big children' always!". It was indeed the 'special package' the employee promised.

[Zack]

"What? You don't know Chloe?" Pegasec said considering that nobody, nobody, can be worse than that spoiled girl. That she has a miraculous is the most ridiculous thing of all.

Byakko gulps when she sees Chat noir approaching. The tiger felt like a rock was crushing his head with every word from the cat hero, he had really screwed things up with Chat. Seeing the black cat so angry made it seem like the things the other heroes had mentioned before were actually softened.

Seeing Chat noir take out the pack of baby diapers and proudly display it was a pretty funny thing, but now ...

"Chat noir ..." Pegasec says breaking the silence. "... Phenix used his powers of restoration with Byakko and he is no longer drunk, he was the same as before."

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry." Byakko respects Sorry continuously, without energy after being struck down by Chat noir's fury. You can almost see his soul coming out of his mouth like on television and comic!

Monkey King stings the tiger with his staff, but there is no response. "He believed he is broken."

[Sarvan]

Once Chat Noir was done unleashing his hidden rage, a moment of silence fell above the heroes, as nobody even dared to move or breath. Then, in just one second, Pegasus updated the Cat hero about what happened and Byakko started apologising over and over: so much happened at the same time, the blond hero was overwhelmed! He blinked a couple of times and looked at Pegasus, then Phénix, then Pegasus again: "What? Byakko is sober again?".

His sensible and kind self immediately kicked in as he realized he had insulted the White Tiger hero, his good friend, and not the drunk jerk he remembered. Panic ensued as he grabbed Byakko by his shoulders and, sweating hard, said: "NO NO NO NO! I'm the one who's sorry, Byakko! I'm sorry! I thought you were you... I mean, your drunk self! Please forgive me! And I was joking, it wasn't a big deal, not at all!". As the team leader, he couldn't believe he had just said those things to a good comrade, especially when he was innocent!

And speaking of the Rooster hero, Phénix had jumped next to Byakko and was currently holding his body too: "BYAKKO! NOOO! You were so young, so noble, so handsome!", reacting like in a cheap, over-the-top telenovela. Somehow, even a spotlight appeared over them, as he was crying: "You can't die, my powers can't restore death!". The three of them were entangled in that melodramatic embrace, experiencing varying degrees of emotional pain.

To Viperion, everything looked like a major overreaction from everyone involved. He simply remained on his seat and, rolling his eyes, remarked: "Don't you guys think you're making this a bigger deal than it was?". He pointed at the box of diapers Chat Noir was holding: "Chat Noir managed to complete his dare, Byakko's sober again, everything is good!".

[Zack]

Monkey King takes Chat noir and Phenix with one hand each and pulls them away from Byakko giving some space. "Good, drama queens, let the tiger breathe."

Pegasec approached Byakko, whose soul was still out of his mouth, the hero horse pinches the tiger's nose so that he returned to reality.

"Now that you've returned to the underworld. How about we play the game from true ir dare?" Pegasec suggested that the boys think of something else. "By the way, Chat noir's turn."

[Sarvan]

Phénix, being the shorter and lighter of them all, was literally picked and pulled away from Byakko and, when his feet touched the floor again, he crossed his arms and said: "I'm not a drama queen! I was just worried about Byakko... as a comrade, of course!", making a pouty face. His cheeks, however, were blushing a little bit.

Chat Noir, on the other hand, was going to complain with Monkey King once again but, when he saw Byakko being brought back to reality, he sighed in relief and offered him his hand: "I'm sorry for what I said, Byakko. It's true that when you were drunk we had... a couple of arguments, but that was almost another person compared to you! So no hard feelings, I hope", smiling a little bit. Hopefully, they could leave that experience behind and never, ever talk about sake again.

Then, when Pegasus noted they still had a game to finish, Chat Noir hit his chest with his fist and said: "Right, it's my turn! After all, I successfully completed my task and came back with these diapers", before showing them once again in front of everyone. This time, however, his eyes were opened and he saw what he had got: after a minute of silence, he snapped. Grabbing the diapers box as if it was the clerk's neck, the Cat hero shouted: "THAT ASSHOLE! HE MADE FUN OF ME FROM THE VERY START! GRAAAAHHH!", even breathing fire from the rage!

Then, he fell on his knees, completely exhausted. Things couldn't possibly go worse than that, so he needed to think about something else. Looking at the Horse hero, he said: "Alright, Pegasus, truth or dare?".

[Zack]

Chat noir's overreaction by the diaper pack caused Byakko to jump back, Monkey King will grab his staff to fend off a possible attack, and Pegasec ... well, he really didn't have a noticeable reaction.

The hero horse thought of mentioning that the design or other characteristics of the diapers is irrelevant, after all, it is not as if someone is going to use them, but for the sake of Chat noir's health I prefer to just answer the question. "Dare."

"I'm going to heat up more pizza, you must be hungry after jumping on the rooftops of Paris." Byakko said and went as quietly as possible to the kitchen.

[Sarvan]

"Uhm, dare you said..." Chat Noir thought for a moment, rubbing his chin. His thought process was temporarily distracted when Byakko offered to prepare him some more pizza: the blond hero immediately looked at his feline friend and, with eyes shining with gratitude, said: "Thank you so much, Byakko! You're an angel!".

Truth was, he wasn't exactly hungry because of the trip outside, but food would've helped him calm down and forget everything about the clerk. Besides, more food was always a good thing: what's the worst thing that could've happened, a stomachache?

As Byakko was leaving, Chat Noir looked back at Pegasus once again and said: "Alright... I dare you to go on all four like a horse, and let one of us ride on your back for an entire tour around this room!", before smirking a little bit: "You pick who's going to be your 'cowboy'".

[Zack]

Byakko entered the kitchen and looked for the same type of pizza that Chat noir had been eating before, perhaps that would help to improve his mood.

Hearing the challenge, Pegasec immediately pointed to the rooster hero. "Phenix." The smallest boy in the group and therefore the lightest and easiest to transport.

"Okay, let's do this." Pegasec gets down on his knees and rests his hands on the ground waiting for the "cowboy" for a walk.
