Sakura and her friends stood outside the security gates of the Agreste mansion upon arriving. Just like the previous time, a security camera popped out from the side when Tomoyo pressed on a button to alert their arrival and request entry inside. But this time, the gates opened to let them in since their visit had been approved. As they walked up the steps to the mansion, the door opened as Nathalie Sancoeur, Gabriel's private secretary, greeted them.

"Mr. Agreste has been expecting you," she said cordially as she stepped aside to let them in. "Right this way."

"Thank you very much," Tomoyo said as she, Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol entered.

As they passed by Nathalie, Eriol shot Nathalie a sly, all-knowing glance and smile, causing her to be taken aback for a moment.

"That Agreste kid's house is big, but not as big as Tomoyo," Kero whispered from inside Sakura's backpack.

"Kero!" Sakura hissed.

"I hope you have all been enjoying your stay here in Paris," Gabriel Agreste greeted them from the middle of the stairs just before the stairs parted into both directions. "I am Gabriel Agreste. My son introduced you all to me last time but this is our first meeting in person." He then looked at Tomoyo. "You are the one who wished to see my design process, correct?"

"Yes," Tomoyo said. "My name is Tomoyo Daidouji. These are my friends Sakura Kinomoto, Syaoran Li, and Eriol Hiiragizawa."

"Ah yes, I heard your mother owns a toy company," Gabriel replied.

"That's right," Tomoyo confirmed.

"Not only toys, but they make technology like phones, cameras, and video game consoles, too!" Sakura exclaimed. "The Daidouji Company are amazing!"

"Thank you very much, Sakura," Tomoyo smiled. "To be able to have my mother's company produce the highest quality camera so I can record my Sakura anytime, anywhere during her cutest moments is pure bliss for me."

"H-Hoeee..."

"Well then, come along this way," Gabriel said. "Nathalie."

"Yes, Mr. Agreste," Nathalie answered before leading the four into Gabriel's office.

"Wow, there are so many pictures of Adrien here!" Sakura cried enthusiastically as she looked around at all the framed photos of Adrien in the room.

"Indeed," Tomoyo agreed. "Your son is a model, right?"

"That's correct," Gabriel said. "He models my designs for me." He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Sakura and Syaoran. If he remembered right, those were the two with the magic powers.

Meanwhile, Eriol gazed at him from the side with the same look he had given Nathalie earlier. How interesting, he thought. However, it would be quite troublesome for the son if he were to discover the truth.

"Who is this? She's incredibly pretty!" Sakura asked as she looked at a large painting of a woman with blonde hair.

"That is my wife, Emilie," stated Gabriel.

"Is she a model, too?" Tomoyo asked.

"She is an actress, actually."

"Is that so? She looks very model-like," Sakura commented.

"I'm flattered that you think so," Gabriel replied.

"Where is she now?" Syaoran asked. Considering how it was just currently Adrien's father and his secretary in the house, could she be off somewhere? Since Mr. Agreste said she was an actress, could it be that she was out somewhere filming?

Gabriel frowned, his eyes narrowing. "She disappeared."

"Eh?" Sakura blinked.

"That is all that I have to say," Gabriel said curtly before he began showing Tomoyo a bit of a glimpse of what his design process was like without revealing too much of it. "Oh yes, I believe I said last time that I would like to see some of your work. It would be easier for me to give you some pointers if I could see what you have done so far."

"Oh yes, here is a sketchbook of all the outfits I have created," Tomoyo said as she showed him her sketchbook. Fortunately, she had some pages of non-battle costumes for Sakura so Gabriel wouldn't think strangely of her.

"I see you like to use your friend as your model," Gabriel mused, seeing the many sketches of Sakura in Tomoyo's outfits. "However, if these childish designs are the best you can do, you won't be getting anywhere in the fashion industry."

Sakura and Syaoran looked at him in shock, then at Tomoyo, who took back her sketchbook with her head hung down. Gabriel smirked to himself. Perfect, he thought. Admittedly, Tomoyo was a fine designer, but he wanted to purposefully upset her to create an akuma out of her so he could witness for himself Sakura and Syaoran's magical abilities. But to his immediate surprise, Tomoyo raised her head and smiled politely at him. "It is unfortunate that you think that way, Mr. Agreste. But as long as Sakura is at her cutest and happiest wearing my costumes, that is happiness for me."

"...I see," Gabriel muttered.

Having decided they'd seen enough, he requested that Nathalie show the young teens out. As they walked out of Gabriel's office, Adrien came out of his room at that exact moment.

"Oh uh, hey, did you just meet with my father?" he asked them.

"Yeah! He seems kind of cold and strict," Sakura replied.

"Yeah, he's like that," Adrien said.

Clapping her hands together, she continued, "Ah, I saw a picture of your mother. She's very pretty! Speaking of which, now that I've seen her picture, you look a lot like her!"

Adrien laughed. "Haha, thanks." He looked at Nathalie. "Can I invite them to my room for a bit? Please?"

Nathalie frowned. "Adrien, you know the rules. Mr. Agreste has stated that they leave immediately after completing the purpose of their visit."

"Just for 5 minutes?" Adrien pleaded.

Nathalie looked at him long and hard before relenting. "Fine. Just 5 minutes."

"Thanks, Nathalie," Adrien beamed. "Come on up, guys!"

Upon entering Adrien's bedroom, Sakura and Syaoran gasped as they looked around. His bedroom was huge! Meanwhile, Tomoyo didn't seem so surprised since coming from a rich family herself, she was used to the fact that rich kids tend to have large bedrooms. But what was surprising was the amount of gaming and entertainment he had in his room-a rock climbing wall, an arcade station, a basketball half-court, two skateboard ramps, a large wall collection of video games, etc. His room was basically every young boy's dream.

"Your room is so big!" Sakura cried as she looked around.

"Are all of these yours?" Syaoran asked, pointing to Adrien's collection of video games.

Adrien nodded. "Yeah, my dad bought them all for me." His lips then turned into a frown as he asked, "By the way, just earlier..."

"Ah, when I called you by your real name when you were Chat Noir?" Syaoran asked. "Like I had said, we sensed the presence of your kwami near you so we figured like with Ladybug, you must be a Miraculous holder, too."

"You guys are really something, being able to detect kwamis' presence," Adrien commented.

"Well, us magicians can detect any kind of magical presence," Eriol stated.

"Well, since the cat's out of the bag-" Kero suddenly spoke as he popped out from Sakura's backpack. Upon seeing all the entertainment in Adrien's room, he gasped, his tiny face looking like he had just seen heaven as he blissfully flew around the room. "OH MAN, AM I IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW?! I have to take pictures and show them to Suppi! Aah, look at all these video games waiting to be played! I 100% approve your room, kid!"

Adrien let out a small laugh as he rubbed the back of his head. "Haha, thanks...Keroberos, was it?" This was the first time he met the small Guardian Beast of the Clow in his civilian form.

"Kero likes video games a lot," Sakura explained to Adrien. "He's always playing video games when I'm not home."

"Well, there's nothing else I can do in your room anyway and you won't allow me to go outside your room when you're not home," Kero pointed out.

"That's because I can't risk you getting seen or caught by dad or big brother," Sakura reminded him.

"By the way, your kwami's probably somewhere around here, isn't he?" Eriol asked, glancing about the room. Since kwamis were supposed to be by their master's side at all times so they could be called upon whenever they were needed, it was only natural that Adrien's kwami was somewhere hiding in this very room.

"Excuse me, but what's a kwami?" Tomoyo asked, having never met or seen a kwami before.

"Oh right, you technically aren't supposed to know about them, but they're creatures that give Ladybug and Chat Noir their powers," Eriol explained.

"I see."

"Yeah well, I'm not sure if he'd be comfortable with revealing himself," Adrien said.

"I see. It would be nice if we could meet him, though," Sakura said. However, she could understand if his kwami didn't want to reveal itself. After all, the only reason they even met Tikki in the first place was because they kind of forced her to and didn't really leave her any choice. Thinking back on it, should she and Syaoran not have confronted Marinette about her being Ladybug in the first place?

"Well since they already know who you are and have already met Sugarcube, then I suppose it wouldn't hurt for me to show myself to them, too," Plagg spoke as he suddenly appeared before them. "Hi, I'm Plagg, Adrien's kwami. I've heard a lot about you."

"My, he kind of looks like Spinel!" Tomoyo observed. Both Plagg and Spinel had a cat-like appearance, although Spinel had blueish-black fur and a corky tail as well as wings on his back.

"Oh, you're right," Sakura agreed.

"So if Tikki is the kwami of creation, I suppose you're the kwami of destruction?" Syaoran inquired.

"Wow, you're so smart," Plagg drawled. "In fact, I'm responsible for the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the sinking of Atlantis, the extinction of dinosaurs..."

"THAT WAS YOU?!" Sakura, Kero, and Syaoran cried in unison.

"Ohohoho," Tomoyo giggled.

"I'm sure you already know this from Sugarcube, but you can't tell anyone about us," Plagg reminded. "Why, I can't believe Sugarcube just willingly let herself be seen by you all. At least it's a good thing we can't be filmed or photographed."

"But here you are doing the same," Syaoran remarked flatly.

"By the way, you're the one who sent me that box of Camembert cheese, didn't you?" Plagg asked as he flew up to Eriol. "I can't thank you enough, you're the best!"

Eriol chuckled. "I'm glad that you enjoyed my gift." He looked up at the clock on Adrien's wall. "It appears it is time for us to depart now."

"You're right," Tomoyo said. "Thank you for inviting us over to your house, Agreste."

"Haha, I'm surprised that my father even let you visit considering how he almost never accepts visitors," Adrien replied. "Oh yeah, you can just call me Adrien."

"I suppose we'll see you tomorrow along with the others, then, Adrien?" Sakura asked.

"You bet," Adrien grinned.

After waving Adrien goodbye, Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol left the Agreste mansion. By the time they left, it was near time for them to meet back with Sonomi, Touya, and Yukito for their dinner reservation. Unbeknownst to them, Gabriel was watching them leave from the window in his office. He couldn't believe his plan to akumatize their designer friend failed. Of course, he didn't expect to hear that her happiness depended on her best friend's happiness. Now the only way he could witness their powers again is if he were to akumatize another victim. After all, if they'd been helping Ladybug and Chat Noir defeat his akumas, then it was likely they'll do it again.

"Welcome back, did you have a good time with your friends?" Sonomi asked her daughter and her friends when they returned to their designated meeting place.

"Indeed, we did," Tomoyo responded.

Sonomi turned to Eriol. "You must be the friend from England Tomoyo told me about. I am Daidouji Sonomi, Tomoyo's mother. It's unfortunate that I didn't get to meet you when you used to attend Tomoeda Elementary with my daughter."

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Daidouji," Eriol greeted.

"I guess we should be lucky that the little monster hasn't caused any trouble," Touya teased.

"BROOOTHHEEEERRRRR!" Sakura screeched with annoyance.

"Now Touya," Yukito said. "I'm glad that you all had a good time, Sakura."

Sakura beamed. "Yeah!"

"Now then, shall we get going?" Sonomi winked. "I sure hope things go well this time."

Fortunately for them, it did. Throughout the course of dinner, they talked and laughed among each other, sharing with each other stories of what they had done up to that point in Paris. There was also some more teasing from Touya to Sakura, much to Sakura's annoyance. She couldn't believe what a jerk and how mean he was. When did he ever not tease her?

"Thank you for allowing me to join your dinner reservation, Ms. Daidouji," Eriol thanked Sonomi when they left the restaurant and returned to Le Grand Paris hotel after finishing their dinner.

"It's the least I can do for an old friend and former classmate of my daughter," Sonomi replied, smiling.

"Would you like to see our rooms before you go?" Sakura asked.

"That would be wonderful, Sakura," Eriol replied.

"Oh yeah, Yukito, I bought something the other day that I'd like to give to you," Sakura said to Yukito.

Yukito pointed to himself. "For me?"

Sakura nodded. While she did have something that she bought for him to show her never-ending appreciation of him, it was also the only way she could get his true form Yue to meet Eriol again.

"Why and what are you doing here?" Yue asked upon transforming once he and Eriol were alone together.

"I came not only because I heard Sakura and Syaoran were here, but also because I am concerned. You know of all the so-called akuma attacks that plague this city, right?" Eriol replied.

Yue nodded. "Yes. I regret that I am unable to be there for my master in times of need. Even if she has Keroberos with her..."

"You don't want to risk revealing yourself, right?" Eriol asked. "If it comes to the point where Sakura needs both you and Keroberos, what would you do? Will you risk your true identity as Yue and transform?"

Yue frowned, not answering for a moment. "By the way, I heard from Keroberos that you know of the Miraculouses. Why didn't you tell us about it?"

"The Miraculouses were supposed to be a guarded secret that even I shouldn't know about, that is why I didn't tell either you or Keroberos," Eriol explained. "It is by chance that Sakura and Syaoran came upon them." He looked out the window. "Something is going to happen soon."

That night, Sakura had the same dream again. Waking up in cold sweat, she looked around the room, then sighed to herself. At least she didn't wake anyone up this time. But why was she having that dream?
