The Lost Miraculous

Chapter 3

After a long day of watching Marinette stress over having to give the tour with Lila, Tikki observed calmly as her friend finally went to sleep peacefully. As soon as she noticed her even breathes she softly kissed her cheek and flew out.

Tonight Paris was buzzing with tourists, most of them walked over to Place des Vosges, the park across Marinette's home, it was lit up by Christmas lights at this time of the year, André still served his famous ice creams, and this time he'd taken over the park.

Tikki spotted Plagg laying on top of a tree hidden by leaves. He was eating cheese, as usual. Taking a deep breath and bracing herself for the smell, Tikki went over to him.

"Hey Sugarcube, what was so urgent?" He asked as he saw her.

"Do you really have to take that stinky cheese everywhere?" Tikki asked as she covered her nose.

Plagg raised his eyebrows, he looked at Tikki and then at the small piece of Camembert. He shrugged and swallowed the thing whole.

"Blah, Plagg!"

"What? I thought you said it was stinky. Anyway, what was so urgent, Suuugarcube?"

"I felt something today. Ma-," Tikki burped out blue, sparkly smoke and shook her head, "Ladybug, said I fainted, did Cat Noir say anything to you?"

Plagg rubbed his head and nodded. "He did, I felt something in the magical aura... something familiar but weird at the same time."

"Exactly! Me too, even though I fainted I didn't feel sick or anything," Tikki said thoughtfully.

"Maybe we should go see Master Fu, I'm sure he'll have an answer?" Plagg suggested.

Tikki snorted and raised her eyebrows in surprise, "I thought you'd never make a serious suggestion in your life.''

She earned a squint from Plagg and both kwamis set out for Master Fu's home.

-

"We all felt it!" Trixx said in her high-pitched voice.

Before speaking to Master Fu, who was busy giving a massage to a customer, Plagg and Tikki decided to sneak into the miracle box to speak to the other kwamis. They all looked at them with wide-confused eyes, but Plagg and Tikki knew nothing other than what their friends knew. They all stood in a circle, Sass, Pollen, Mullo, Longg.

"Isn't it obvious? Something fabulous is about to happen," Kaalki, the Pegasus kwami, said in a cool tone, she was examining her left hoof with a raised eyebrow. ''Anyway, when is Max going to need my amazing powers again? I'm getting a little bored and he could use some excitement for sure," she added looking at Plagg and then at Tikki.

''I'm not sure Kaalki, my owner hasn't said anything,'' shrugged Tikki, ''but we aren't here to discuss that,'' she said and noticed Xuppu lower her once raised hand. She sent her an apologetic look and turned her eyes to the other kwamis.

''We can't stay long, our owners could need us any second... If we know nothing more than what happened to us earlier then we must tell Master Fu now," Tikki said responsibly.

The other kwamis nodded. Plagg left first.

''Plagg!" Master Fu exclaimed as he let his patient out, ''my cat! Sorry, can't let him out or he will try to escape again! Goodbye!'' He slammed the door and a small thank you was heard from the other side of the door.
