"Hey, Alix,"
Alix looks up from her phone, "Yeah, Zoe?"
"You mentioned that you met your future self?" Zoe says, sitting down on the couch.
"Oh, yeah," Alix said, laughing at the memory.

Alix zooms in on her roller skates, then crashes into Ladybug.
"Crazy! So the message was for real!" Alix says, excited.
"What message?" Ladybug asks, standing up, rubbing her head.
Alix pulls out her watch, "This watch has been in my family forever. And it's never chimed, until today! And there was a message for you Ladybug!"
Alix hands Ladybug her watch, and Ladybug opens it.
"Great work Minibug, you're right on time. Now, dig as deep as you can into the past, and you will find the rabbits burrow," the watch says.
Ladybug hands back the watch.
"Dig deep into the past?" she asks aloud.
Alix stays quiet while she thinks.
"Of course! What's the oldest exhibit in the museum?" Ladybug asks Alix, who responds immediately.
"The Egyptian collection! My old man says some of it dates back more than five thousand years!" Alix says.
They run to the Egyptian collection. Ladybug knocks on some of the different artifacts. An obelisk makes a different sound.
"There. It sounds hollow!" Ladybug says, and she throws her yo-yo and pulls, cracking the obelisk.
When the dust clears, they can see a hero inside. The hero stretches and yawns. She looks down.
"Minibug! I knew you'd solve my riddle," says the hero, and she jumps down, "A basic security measure in case the watch is stolen," she says, dusting herself off, "But now, I need to do something very important,"

Alix and Ladybug stand outside the bathroom, and the hero talks to them from inside it.
"My name's Bunnix. And in the future, I'm a member of Ladybug and Cat Noir's team of superheroes. Well, the Ladybug you're going to become, because right now, you're more like Minibug. Within the team, I am the hero of the last chance. I'm called upon when everyone else has failed, that includes you and Chat Noir,"
"Then how did you get stuck in stone?" Ladybug asks, "And... who's Chat Noir?"
"In the future, one of Chat Noir's cataclysm's accidentally damaged my miraculous," Bunnix says, and she walks out of the bathroom, "That's how Timetagger will be able to send me into ancient Egypt and get me stuck in stone,"
She shows Ladybug her watch. It's covered in cracks.
"Then how are we going to do this without the Rabbit miraculous?" Ladybug asks.
Bunnix turns to Alix.
"Do you have the watch?"
Alix is shocked, "My watch?!"
Bunnix nods, "Yes, my watch. Our watch,"
Alis grabs her watch, then hesitates. She squints up at Bunnix, but drops the watch into Bunnix's hand. The watch shifts into the watch Bunnix had shown Ladybug, only without the cracks.
