They couldn't do this. "How do Ladybug and Chat Noir do this daily? I'll have to ask them next time I see them." Alya groaned. "I need to go to the gym more."

"You look good from up here. Real good." Nino grinned, leaning down. He let out a whistle. "Besides, wouldn't it be a lot easier if we left the kids in the bubbles? You can't keep letting them run free, babe."

"I have to agree with loverboy up there." Chloé stopped to catch her breath. "I can only tie up so many kids before I go crazy."

"I'll ignore the loverboy part. I say naughty children get put in bubbles!" With a swing, a small group of children became trapped, the orb rolling slightly.

"Nino! You can't just leave them in there!"

"But, Alya! it works!"

"Ni-NO!"

"Ni-YES!" Two voices joined Nino's. Theo chuckled as Chloé swung a group of kids in Nino's direction. He had to admit, puns were fun. Even if he was horrible at them. Stepping back to avoid Chloé's wild swings, he felt his legs give out from under him.

"I can't take much more of this!" Chloé screeched. "And a bunch of kids are trying to kidnap Theo!"

"Don't you mean catnap?" A light chuckle escaped his lips as he rose from the group, moving out of the way so Nino could hit the kids with a bubble. "And I'm fine. I'm a big boy. I can- ME-OUCH!" A little wrestler yanked Theo's tail, throwing him into a wall. Groaning, he fell onto all fours. "Okay, maybe I'm not fine. But I can't exactly hit them with a baton, now can I? I'm pretty sure Alya would put ME into a bubble!"

Chloé twitched, rolling her eyes. She turned away from him, almost tearing her hair out at what she saw. "OH FOR THE LOVE OF- DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND USE CATACLYSM ON THAT BUILDING, YOU BRAT!" She angrily lashed out, grabbing a little girl by the back of her costume. "Nino, throw two bubbles at me right now."

"Are you sure, Chlo? Won't you get trapped two?" Nino thought for a moment. "I guess I could let you out after." Shrugging, he complied, spinning two at her, one right after the other. Chloé shoved the child forward, pressing her hand against the first one, causing it to pop. She released the kid, watching the bubble slow to a stop after it caught her.

"No need. I do think ahead, Nino. Give me some credit. Theo, will you stop standing around? You can still help, you know."

"I suppurrrrse I better listen to you, my lady!" Chuckling, Theo bounded towards the blonde and used her as a springboard, sending here plummeting to the ground. He used his baton, he sent one of Nino's bubbles up higher, catching a small Batman by surprise.

"Dude, no. That was way too forced. Just no." Nino called up to him. A small beeping began as Theo landed next to Chloé. He reached down, giving her an apologetic smile. After pulling her up, he began checking his pockets in an attempt to find the source of the beeping. "Dude, are you getting a text or something? We're kinda busy here!"

"Looks like it's the baton. Must be Ladybug or Chat Noir." Chloé leaned over his shoulder, Alya and Nino soon joining her. The second Theo answered the group knew something was wrong. "Um, hello?"

"FINALLY! THANK YOU! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE NOT EVIL!" Chat Noir yelled from somewhere offscreen.

"No, I've been helping some kids who keep trying to run on rooftops. Why?"

"We need backup. Ladybug and I went trick-or-treating as each other. I bet you can figure out the purrroblem now. You have a better understanding of my powers than my lady does, so we need you to cover for us." Everything went black for a moment before another voice was heard.

"I think we lost her. Did you get a hold of Theo? Please tell me you did!" With that, Ladybug appeared. He usually neat pigtails were a wild mess while her face was extremely flushed. Theo couldn't tell if it was from running or being Chat Noir. Possibly both. "Theo! Looks like our luck isn't completely gone! Use the baton to find our location." She paused, gasping for breath. "We need someone to divert Mask Raid's attention and you're a perfect copy of Chat. I don't think she's realized we swapped powers yet, so this should work until we figure things out. You think you can do this?"

Turning, the group looked at Alya. "You think you can hold everything down without me? I mean, I couldn't do much anyways, but you are our leader."

"Go. They need you more and we've got this. Just stay safe, got it?" A chorus of agreement followed Alya's remark.

Grinning, Theo closed the baton, using it to shoot into the air, perching at the top. Balancing carefully, he called down to the other three. "I'll come back if I can. See you later, loverboy, Wifi, and, of course, my lady!"

With a bored look, Chloé wrapped her yo-yo around the base of the baton. "If you keep up with the 'my lady' stuff, don't bother coming back." She lightly tugged the string, smirking as Theo yelped, leaping to a nearby roof. Leaning over the side, he caught the baton, sticking his tongue out at her.

"Okay, why is everyone calling me loverboy? I'd rather be called Bubbler again." Pouting, Nino glanced at Alya. "I said one thing. Is that so bad?"

"We need to keep trapping the kids in bubbles. We can talk about the nickname later." Alya turned, pausing momentarily, catching Nino's stare. "Loverboy."

"Okay, one, not cool. Two, weren't you the one against trapping them in bubbles? Three, maybe I should stop helping, seeing as you three keep making fun of me!" He glared at the trio.

"Nino, just do it. Oh, you might want to duck." Swiftly, the boy did what she said, barely missing Chloé's yo-yo flying at him.

"YOU BETTER KEEP CATCHING THEM! IF I HAVE TO GET YOU A DATE WITH ALYA TO DO IT, I WILL MAKE YOU BOTH GO TO THE FANCIEST RESTAURANT IN PARIS AND PAY FOR ALL OF IT. JUST CATCH THE BRATS!"

"Wait, can I actually take you up on that?" Grinning, Nino waggled his eyebrows at the girls. This time, Alya let Chloé hit him.

"And that's why we called you loverboy. Now focus, we have a job to do." Alya spun on her heel, pausing any children she saw. "Oh, and Chloé? We'll talk about that little deal once this is all over." Nino shared a look with Chloé and pretended to turn a blind eye to her next move.

Alya didn't even turn around. The yo-yo hung frozen in the air, Theo laughing from a safe distance. "Nice try. Theo, head out. Ladybug must be wondering where you are. Chloé, go with him. It sounds like those two need all the help they can get. You may not look exactly like Ladybug, but you could help distract Mask Raid."

"Better than being stuck here with you two lovebugs, that's for sure. Could you un-freeze my yo-yo? I kinda need it." Alya giggled, doing as the other girl requested. "Cool. I'm out." Chloé flung the yo-yo, pulling herself up next to Theo. "Let's go. I don't feel like puking at their lovey-doveiness."

"Same. And good pun, Anti-bug!" Theo flipped the baton open, watching as the screen zoomed in. "Found them. Try to keep up." He smirked, leaning forward.

"I just tried to hit Alya with my yo-yo. What makes you think I won't hit you? Just start running." Sharing a smirk, the two left, running across the rooftops.

Back on the ground, Nino stared at Alya. "Wait, were you serious about that date?"

"We'll talk more about this later. We have a job to do." Alya winked, beginning to walk away.

Nino blushed. "We better." He jogged to catch up with her. 'What a woman.' He thought to himself.

Author's Notes:

I have no clue when the next chapter will be out (the previous chapters were all written a couple of weeks ago). Not to mention, I really don't feel like doing what I have planned for the next chapter. So we'll see!
