Myleene and Ivan just finished up at their protest, and now were heading to lunch at their favorite vegan bistro. They walked into the restaurant and took a seat at a table close to the window, the place was covered in plants, with the walks covered in plant themed art.

"Do you think we did enough?" Myleene asked worriedly, as she looked down at the table.

Ivan gently raised her chin to meet her eyes, "Yes, and I know you won't stop fighting till this is stopped, and I will stand by your side though it."

"Really?" Myleene asked, she was working hard on her confidence and was coming a long way, but it still wasn't perfect. You can't change something this impactful overnight, just like a protest can't change problems in the world overnight, so can you not change people in the same way. Change takes time, and a want to change.

"I'm sure, Sunflower." Ivan, the soft giant told his long-time gf. They had been dating for the last 5 years.

"Thanks, I'm just worrying over nothing." Myleene told him pushing some of her loss dreadlocks back.

"No, your worries are valid. But if we didn't do enough today to get them to listen, we will keep protesting. We won't stop trying." Ivan told, knowing that all emotions are valid and that it is important to acknowledge them. It is one reason Shadowmoth is so horrible. Not only is he terrorizing the people, by basically possessing them with evil magic, but people also had to suffer and hide and not acknowledge that they have any negative emotion, out of fear of becoming an akumatized villain. It was dangerous to everyone psyche.

"I know, thanks, My Braveheart." Myleene replied using the pet's name she gave him after he had an overwhelming guilt of being the first monster of pure emotion that, that horrid tourist created.

"Hey Myleene, I want to ask your option on something." Ivan asked her as they waited still for a waiter, it was very crowded today.

"Go ahead," Myleene replied encouragingly to her love.

"I think I want to become a therapist after this trip, or at least start. I mean after King Andre made that mandate, where all residents of Paris must go to therapy one a month a least, under Ladybug's suggestion on how to lower akuma attacks, there has been a lack of enough therapist and I want to help people. I know we already do so, with our activism, but I think this is what I am meant to do. What do you think?" Ivan told her, waiting to see her reaction to what he said.

She thought over his words for a few moments, trying to find the right words to follow his confession. "I think that would be a good idea. You are right, we do need more therapist, especially in Paris. And your right, we partly can't feel at all, with Shadowmoth. I also think you would be good at it. And even if you aren't always physically by my side when I protest, I know you always will be. And it isn't like we are the only ones fighting for these causes anymore. Ever since the class convinced me to start an activism account on Instagram, there are hundreds of people showing up to some of these protests, and even more creating their own. So, it isn't like I would be fighting for what we believe in alone."

"Really?" He asked."

"I guess it is your turn to be self-conscious," She chuckled, "But yes, I'm sure, My brave heart."

They both just takin in the silence and calmness of the moment, just enjoying being together. They were pulled out of their trance when their server came over a couple of moments later.

"I'm sorry for the wait. What can I get you both?" The waiter asked smiling at the pair enjoying the serene energy coming off the two.

"I'll have a water, and the vegan burrito. Thank you," Ivan ordered also enjoying the rare moment of peace.

"I'll have a water as well and the white bean salad." Myleene ordered.

"I will be right back with your water and your meals with be out shortly." The server smiled wide at the pair.

The couple smiled back and started up a new lighthearted conversation. "So, what are you most excited to see on the trip?" Myleene asked exited to see the world.

"I think I want to see the great wall of china for one, relax on the Caribbean beaches, islandic architecture, the cliffs in Ireland, see the Aurora Borealis in the artic circle in Norway, and see all of the amazing natural places in Vietnam." Ivan listed off. He really wants so to see beautiful things in the world and be free to feel all their emotions.

"Those sound nice. It is cool that we will be able to go to the beach and the artic circle in one trip. I'm going to miss being able to protest here and see my papa for a whole year." Myleene said trying not to think or feel the sadness threatening to rise. Know that she knew who every miraculous holder was it would be too dangerous to become an akuma.

"I know me too, but we will call every day, protest virtually... or just in other places, and we get our next step and felling of being adults." Ivan countered, bring a smile to Myleene.

The server than came over with their drinks and the couple thanked them, before continuing their conversation.

"Oh, did you hear, Nathaniel and Marc have some big new they are celebrating soon." Ivan told her happy for their friends suggests.

"No what happened?" Myleene asked interested in the two artsy boyfriends.

"They are officially making comic books. Like their comics got picked up to be sold instore and online. They are excited, despite not being people that show it very much. In fact, I think they said that they are just going on a privet celebratory date to commemorate it." Ivan told her, happy that their friends are going to get to make the careers that they always wanted.

"That is amazing. I wonder why I haven't heard." Myleene wondered aloud, gleeful at the idea that her friends were getting recognized for their talent.

"Well, you know how Marc and Nath are. They never want the attention on them. In fact, I think they decided to publish under pseudonyms." Ivan told her as the server came back over with their food. They ate and enjoyed the rest of their afternoon together.
