Marinette's POV

I was about to leave the school and begin my walk home, when it started pouring. I pulled out my black umbrella, and I began my walk home. I heard someone shouting from behind me, and when I turned around, I saw it was just the new boy. Instead of turning around and talking to him, I hurried up and began my walk home. When I was about half way home, I ran into an old man who did not have an umbrella. He was waiting under a tree as a source of shelter, but I figured that he needed my umbrella more than me.

I walked over and joined him under the tree, "Here you go sir, you can have it. I'm almost home anyways."

"Are you sure young lady? The rain is getting pretty bad out there. I can wait out the storm here."

I looked out and saw the rain start to fall harder. I winced, but I kept my promise of doing my best, "Of course you can have it sir, have a great day!"

    I began to run home under the rain to avoid getting wet, which didn't work. I got home and went up to my room to immediately change out of my drenched clothes. I opened my dresser, found a new outfit, and got to work with my homework, sewing, and baking. At the end of the night, I went to bed like I would any other night, not expecting anything to be different.

Adrien's POV

    I was leaving school that day, and in front of me I saw the girl who was convinced that I put gum on her seat. I think her name was Marinette? I called out to her, I wanted to apologize for what misunderstanding had taken place earlier. I truly was just taking the gum off of her seat, she just didn't believe me. When I called out to her, she looked back, we made eye contact, then she began walking away faster. I was about to chase after her, when my body guard walked in front of me and reminded me that I am to go straight home.

On our way home, I saw an old man with an umbrella that looked identical to Marinette's. I watched him as he was walking, and I saw him lose his balance and trip over his cane, so I shouted at my bodyguard to stop. I ran out of the car, and helped the poor man up to his feet. I made sure he was okay, then he thanked me and continued on his way. I got back into the car, and we continued our journey home. We arrived home and my father informed me I was late. I began to explain why, when he cut me off and sent me to my room to practice my piano and Chinese.

I spent all afternoon working on the jobs that my father had assigned me. Finally, I ate dinner and I was free to do whatever I wanted to do. I sat at my computer and played some video games, then finally at the end of the night, I went to bed like I would any other night, not expecting anything to be different.

Master Fu's POV

"Master, you need to find someone new to take the power of the ladybug and cat miraculous. I feel a negative aura coming from the butterfly miraculous!"
I opened the miraculous box and pulled out both miraculouses, "I know Wayzz, but it is not that easy of a decision. In the past it has taken me years to find the correct owners!"

"Let's just go out today, and if you do not find anybody I will find a way to help you."

    Wayzz was right. I knew there was a looming threat of whoever owns the butterfly and peacock miraculous. The only way to prevent any attacks on Paris would be with the ladybug and cat miraculous holders overseeing Paris.

    I decided to go out and attempt to find the new ladybug and cat miraculous holders. I went on a walk, and I ended up at the local high school, just when it started pouring. I didn't bring an umbrella, so I was planning on just walking around the block then back home. When I decided to turn around, I took shelter under a tree to try to wait out the storm. I was only there for a couple of minutes until a young lady came up to me and offered me her black umbrella. I told her that I didn't need it, I was just going to wait out the storm, but she insisted that I take it. Once I grabbed the umbrella from her hand, she took off running.

"That's her Wayzz. That is the future ladybug miraculous holder."

I was happy to now have an umbrella, because I could now find the new holder of the cat miraculous. I began my walk home, and I accidentally tripped over my walking cane. I was trying to get up, but I was struggling. Then, I heard a car pull up next to me, a door open and slam shut, then surely enough a young man helped me to my feet. He got drenched in the five seconds he was out there with me, but he ensured that I was okay before getting back into the safety of the vehicle.

"Wayzz, we may have just found the new holder of the cat miraculous. Thank you for making me come out today. Without you convincing me to come out, I never would have found the new holders."

"Of course, master."

    I began my trek home, and once I got there I immediately began planning how I was going to deliver the miraculous to them.

"You know Wayzz, I sense some negative energy between these two, but maybe a second identity will subconsciously bring them together. I never choose wrongly, these two are made for one another."

I saw a little box on my desk.

I opened it and this weird, bright light filled up my room.

Suddenly this little red animal came out, and said hello!
Then suddenly this little black animal came out and asked me for some camembert?

I started throwing things at it, I was terrified. Then it explained to me that it was a kwami.

I was kind of freaking out inside, then they explained that they were a kwami.

She told me her name was Tikki, and that I am now the ladybug miraculous holder.

He told me his name was Plagg, and that I am now the cat miraculous holder.

I put on the earrings.

I put on the ring.

And I felt more confident in myself, like I could do anything.
