Midnight Under The Eiffel Tower

Ladybug rose to her feet after having ducked behind a tree to transform. She swung her yo-yo onto the trunk of a tree next to the bus and flew across the orchard.

"So, let's see..." Ladybug narrowed her eyes, scanning for damage. The trunk of pear tree that the bus had hit was cracked and bent, with unripe pears scattered across the grass. The front of the bus, on the other hand, was only dented enough to keep the doors from reopening, yet smoke was pouring out of the hood.

"Looks like the tree got the worst of it." Ladybug climbed up the side of the bus and opened the emergency exit on the roof.

"How did you get here so fast?" Cat Noir landed on the roof next to her. "The accident only happened seconds ago...as I understand."

"Just happened to be in the neighborhood." Ladybug winked. "Come on, I need your help. Some of these people might be injured. And we don't know why the bus crashed."

"At your service, my lady." Cat Noir bowed with a flourish of his hand.

Ladybug rolled her eyes and dropped down into the bus.

"Hello? Is everyone all right?" She called, walking up to the front.

"Ladybug!" The passengers cried. Ladybug saw some bruises and scrapes, and one person who was passed out near the front, but there wasn't too much damage.

"All right, everyone out! Cat Noir will help you out through the top." Ladybug pointed to her partner on the roof. He winked and waved, extending his stick down through the hole.

"Now to find out what happened." Ladybug strode to the front of the bus and turned to the driver. He was hunched over the wheel, apparently unconscious.

"Sir, are you all right?" Ladybug put her hand on his shoulder, shaking him slightly. He moaned and turned to her, his eyes unfocused and bleary.

"Sir?" Ladybug shook him again.

"Huh? Did we crash or somethin'?" The bus driver blinked owlishly, glancing around.

Ladybug's eyes narrowed. "Yes, into a pear tree."

"Huh. Imagine that." The bus driver chortled, clapping his hands on his knees. "Me, crashing!"

Ladybug leaned in closer to the bus driver, then recoiled, wrinkling her nose.

"Ugh! Alcohol." She glared at the man. "You're drunk!"

The intoxicated driver only laughed harder.

"Driving under the influence is against the law, and you do it with dozens of people?" Ladybug shook her head in disgust, her temper flaring. "I think we're going to have to take you downtown."

The bus driver didn't seem to hear. He was still giggling, passing his hands slowly in front of his eyes.

Ladybug felt a hand on her shoulder.

"That's everyone," Cat Noir announced. "We're just about done here!"

"Not quite." Ladybug scowled at the bus driver. "We need to drop him off at the police station."
