Oath

Weeks passed and you just finished packing the last of your things. You plumped yourself on your bed. "Finally! I am done!"

"I wouldn't say anything just yet" Kwan flew to the spot where your minifridge was at. "You have to put the fridge back"

"Don't worry, there's still meat downstairs" You sighed. "For now, I just want to sleep"

The sound of your phone ringing grabbed your attention. You groaned as you picked it up. Can't you just sleep before your flight to your new home? "Hello"

"Are you busy?" Grace's voice came over through the phone.

"Well, I was planning on getting some sleep" You sat up.

"At 4?"

"My flight is at 1 am"

"Fair point"

"Anyway, what do you need?"

"Don't tell me you forgot what today is?" She questioned.

"Um... it's no one's birthday, I'm sure about that" You thought out loud.

"It's movie and game night!" Grace gasped, pretending to sound offended that you forgot.

"Shoot! Was that today?" You checked your calendar. "Wait, but it's Tuesday? Movie nights are on Wednesdays"

"Yes, but you're not going to be here tomorrow night, or are you?"

"Touché"

"Hurry up before Luka starts singing ballads about how much he's going to miss you~"

"Lies, but I'm going" You grabbed your jacket and bag, hanging up. Kwan flew inside your bag.

On your way to the ship, you looked at every aspect of the city you love. You thought about flying there but you decided to take your time and savor the last hours you have here in the town. You hummed while Kwan peaked outside of your bag, complaining about how she wants to eat some meat.

You smiled at the sight of your friend's house. Lights were strung up and you could hear music being played and people talking. As you got closer, your smile turned into a grin when you saw your friends, classmates, and fellow dance members. Juleka's entire class was also present and the sight of Marinette made you happy. She has become a close friend to you over the past few weeks.

"Surprise!" They shouted.

"What is all this?" You felt your cheeks blush.

"Did you really think we were going to spend your last night here by only watching movies and playing games?" Lucien let out a small laugh.

"You're all too much for me" You giggled, hugging your friends.

"Care for some cake?" You turned to see Marinette holding a slice of your favorite cake.

"Mari~" You engulfed the girl in a hug.

"Woah. Since when were the two of you so chummy?" Ruben smirked.

"That is none of your business" You stuck out your tongue at him in a playful manner. Ruben shared confused glances at the rest of your friends, wondering what you meant. They shrugged their shoulders as a response.

"Alright, enough dilly-dallying" Manu grabbed your attention. "Let's get this party started!"

As if on cue, music began to play. You turned to the stage and saw Kitty Section playing their new song. Grace playfully shoved you for staring at Luka playing his guitar. The two of you giggled before heading to the dance floor. You sang along to the lyrics, feeling blessed to have a night full of fun with your friends.

At one point, Kitty Section stopped playing and Nino began to play your favorite songs through the speakers. Luka placed his guitar down and ran toward you. You squealed as he lifted you from behind you. You turned around to face him, laughing.

"Care to dance?" He bowed in a dramatic manner, offering his hand toward you.

"'Tis my pleasure" You mockingly curtsied.

Luka chuckled and the two of you began to dance. You laughed at the awkwardness of Luka's moves, joining him in making random dances. Both of you were smiling so wide that your cheeks were hurting. Luka noticed how bright your smile was tonight. Seeing you so happy made his heart swell with joy. You always had some way with him. Whenever he was with you, he felt different. A good kind of a different. He never felt that with anyone else, not even with Marinette.

"Hey, (y/n)" Marinette tapped your shoulder. You turned to her. She looked nervous about something. "Can I talk to you in private?"

You glanced at Luka. He assured you that it was okay and you went off with Marinette to talk inside. She looked around, making sure no one was listening. She held out her palm to reveal a small vial of pink liquid.

"What is this?" You grabbed the vial.

"It's a memory wipe potion" Marinette stared at you with a guilty expression. You looked at her with wide eyes, not believing what she just said. "Master Fu conjured it up because he thought it would be best if you don't remember being Phoenix"

"What?" Kwan flew out of your bag and onto your shoulder.

"I thought that it would be a good idea since you know my identity and all, but -"

"You were planning on spiking my drink with this?" You glared.

"No - well, yeah, but - ugh" Marinette groaned. Tikki looked at her through her shirt pocket. "That's what I thought about first, but I realized that I would hurt you if I did so. I don't care if you know I'm Ladybug, but I don't want you to hate me, (y/n). I want us to remain friends. Which is why I'm leaving the choice to you. I'll support any decision you make"

You looked down at the vial. You felt angry that she and Master Fu thought about tricking you into drinking the potion, but you were also relieved to hear that she cares more about your newfound friendship more. Letting out a sigh, you handed the potion back to her.

"Thank you for telling me this, Marinette" You smiled at her. "But I think you already knew my answer"

"Yeah. I just wanted to make sure" She smiled back, placing the vial back into her bag. You wrapped your arm around her, and both of you went back outside.

"Ready for your gifts?" Calixte pulled you away to the designated table.

"You guys didn't have to" You stared at each of your friends.

"Don't be silly. You have to have something that will remind you of your awesome friends" Grace interlocked your arms together. Lucien handed you the first gift.

"This is from Grace and me," He said as you opened it. You awed at a painting of you as Phoenix flying through the city. On the back of the canvas was a tape tilted 'Superhero Soundtrack'. "I worked on the painting while Grace made the mixtape"

"It's beautiful. Thank you" You hugged him.

"Me next!" Calixte gave you his gift. You opened it to reveal a Phoenix doll. "My dad told me they're going to be hitting the stores tomorrow. You are holding the first of its kind"

"That's amazing" You laughed at the disbelief of a toy being made after you.

"Our turn" Manu clapped as Ruben handed you their gift. You set down the others you were holding to grab it. Once you opened it, your jaw dropped.
