Heaven's POV-

I was at my uncle's lab as we cleaned up a little bit. Charles was carefully placing viles of potions on the shelves as I was sweeping up shards of glass that fell from the roof after Francoeur jumped out of the building the night he was created. My uncle dusted his hands on his white apron, leaving light brown marks on the sides of it. I giggled and he shook his head playfully.

"Thank you again for helping us out today, darling" he told me.

I smiled and said "Of course I would help! You're my family after all."

"I wish that I wasn't your only family though" he said before signing.

He was saying that because my parents left me with him when I was a baby. They never told him why but after they did they were never heard of since. I always wondered why they left me and what happened to them. But I knew that I would probably never have the chance to find out.

"Me too" I told him before I leaned against a shelf.

What I didn't know was that the shelf wasn't placed properly, causing it to start leaning towards the ground where I was at. Three viles of potions fell from it and crashed together, causing a huge explosion in the lab. Everything went black for a moment before I opened my eyes and coughed. Everything looked different shades of blue then from before. Probably a slight side effect from the potions. I saw Charles at the top of one of the trees, shaking like a leaf. I looked around and saw my Uncle hanging upside down from the vines in his little jungle. He was trying to untangle his feet with I ran towards him to help. But once he saw me he screamed. I went to talk when it came out as a chirp. Confused, I looked at the standing mirror and screamed, only to come out as a horrified chirp.
     I had black and blue skin and spikes coming out of my back. I had four arms with three fingers on each hand and bug legs. My hair was raven black and my eyes were still their normal sky blue. My dress was torn in multiple places and I was still my normal height as before. I was a flea. A GIANT flea. I fainted afterward seeing this.

Timeskip- 30 minutes later

I felt small water droplets land on my face when I regained my consciousness. I opened my eyes and saw Emile, Roual, Lucille, Muad, my Uncle, Charles, and Francoeur standing above me. Charles held onto a small perfume bottle full of water in his hand.

"So the three unknown potions turned her into a flea, fascinating yet strange" Roual said, rubbing the back of his head.

"So how long will it last until she'll turn back?" Emile asked my Uncle.

"Maybe never. I'm not sure, but I'll work on an antidote for this as fast as I can" he replied before he started working.

"Brrrt" I chirped before sitting up and fixing my torn dress to were it was covering my legs the best it could.

Lucille walked over to me and gently patted my shoulder.

"Don't worry Heaven, you'll be yourself again soon" she told me before Muad walked over with clothes in her arms.

"Let's get you cleaned up Heaven. We don't need anyone thinking that there's a "monster in Paris" again" Muad told me before I was moved behind a huge changing curtain.

I quickly changed out of my torn dress and changed into my new clothing. It was a dark blue long sleeve top  with a black skirt that went to just above my knees and had a wrap around skirt that was open in the front, White pants and black boots that went to my knees that had white cross laces. On my face was a dark blue mask like Francoeur's and a black and dark blue chateau on my head. I slipped my hands into gloves, making it looked like I had two hands instead of four. before walking away from the curtain.

"Heaven?" I heard a new voice ask me.

I looked over and saw Francoeur shyly walking over to me. I looked down and rubbed my arms. But he lifted my head, making me look at him before he brushed a strand of my black hair away from my face.

"You still look as beautiful as ever, mon amore" he told me before he kissed my forehead.

I gave him a small smiled before hopping up a little bit so I could kiss him. He gladly returned it before I landed on the ground with a gentle thud.

"Well maybe while we work on the antidote, you two can explore the city" Emile sujested.

I nodded before seeing that it was starting to grow dark outside. I lightly bit my bottom lip until Francoeur patted my shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'll give you the grand tour of the city, my way" he told me before I nodded again.

We both walked outside and Francoeur jumped to a nearby building. I stood there, astonished and shocked.

'How does he make his jumps look majestic?' I thought to myself.

I readied myself for the jump and took a deep breath. Then I jumped. I soured though the air and towards the same building as Francoeur. But I landed on him and we pretty much rolled onto a flat building roof.

"Ow" Francoeur muttered.

"Sorry Francoeur" I told him before I helped him to his feet.

Then something happened to my arms. I rolled up one of my sleeves and saw that the small spikes on my arms were disappearing. I looked at Francoeur who was dusting off his suit. I knew that he didn't notice so I rolled my sleeve back and I adjusted my chaptu. He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back before he jumped again. I shook my head before joining him. This time I didn't land on him. He laughed and we kept jumping from building to building. We made it a little race and I started getting the hang of the whole being an oversized flea thing. If felt amazing. I felt like I was flying though the stary sky. I felt like I was free for the first time in years. tears of joy filled my eyes with I laughed in delight. Francoeur passed me on a jump but I easily got ahead and I looked behind me too she him smiling at me. Finally, We stopped at the Pont Des Arts bridge, the bridge where couples lock their love together by putting locks on it.

"This has been the best night of my life!" I cheered before hugging Francoeur.

He hugged me back and I jumped up to kiss him. I smiled into the kiss and we pulled away. Then a question popped into my mind.

"Why did you make my bracelet? What does it stand for?" I asked him.

He smiled and said "when we first met you told me that pearls were your favorite. And it represents us. The black beads stand for me, the masked musician who is fenisly handsome" he gave me a flirtatious smile and I giggled before he continued "and the pearls stand for you...my one and only angel of the city of love."

I smiled before I felt myself change but I didn't mind it. I wanted to stay in this moment forever.

"Francoeur I-" is all I said, realizing that I didn't chirp this time.

I rolled up one of my sleeves and saw that I had two arms again instead of four and my skin was normal. That's when I knew that I was human again. I looked at the river and Francoeur wrapped me in a side hug. I smiled and rested my head on his side.

"I love you so much, Francoeur" I told him before he chirped happily.

Yep. I'm one Lucky woman.
