After Plagg left the toilet, Tikki was left stunned. It had been almost a month since they transferred here and she was sick and tired of watching how far Plagg was fallen.

From the most popular boy in school from her small area, to bullied. His descent was sicken to watch as three monsters tore his mental health apart.

Tikki at times felt faint even though it wasn't her being shoved into toilets, off stairs, and even off the Pont des Arts bridge.

She wished she could stop his descent, stop his pain and suffering. Plagg had never been rude at his old middle school, though the nicknames remained the same.

At this new school, he slowly became cold towards her, as he tried to push anyone and everyone away from him.

She had tried, she swore she tried but..

'It was two weeks after Tikki and Plagg had transferred to Collège Françoise Dupont.Tikki was happy, but honestly she was too worried about Plagg to stay happy for long.

She knew what Lila, Chloé and Sabrina were doing to him. She noticed all the textbook symptoms of bullying.

The dark bags under his eyes, the withdrawals from chances to socialise. Most of all, his sudden and unexplainable disappearences when Chloé, Sabrina, and Lila were around.

She felt as if she would tear apart if she was to turn away from it a second time.

After her final class, she bolted away from a very confused Marinette.

Bolting towards Sabrina, Tikki dragged her to the toilet.

"Hey, hey what are you doing!" Sabrina had yelled, attracting the attention of Chloé, and Lila.

When Tikki got there, Sabrina yanked her arm out of Tikki's grasp.

"You better have a good reason to have dragged my ser- Sabrina to this filthy bathroom." Chloe said, walking cockily into the toilet.

"It's almost as small as my closet."  Lila bragged.

Tikki took a deep breath.

"I want you to leave my friend alone."

The trio looked at each other before bursting out laughing.

"What friend?" Sabrina giggled.

"You sur-surely mustn't mean Plagg, do you?" Lila howled.

"Yes," Tikki continued, "Yes I do mean Plagg and if you don't leave him alone, I'll expose all of you!"

"How?" Chloé stepped forward. "Maybe you've forgotten who the mayor's daughter is?"

"Or who is going to date Prince Ali?" Lila taunted Tikki.

"Or whose father could fine the hell out of yours." Sabrina said, as she walked up to Tikki, and began to stab Tikki's chest with every word.

When Sabrina finished, Chloé delivered with a devastating blow to Tikki's legs, bringing her to her knees.

Lila grabbed a large chunk of her hair.

"If you utterly a word to anyone about this, we will make you pay." Chloé and Sabrina laughed.

Imagine how it would look if your little Marinette saw you on your knees, head dunked into the toilet." Lila crowed.

"Don't try us." The trio threatened. "Or else." '

Tikki walked over to the mirror and looked at her reflection. How could she look at her hair without thinking of Plagg's chemical-ridden hair?

How could she look at her clothes without thinking of his own wet clothes? Tikki wanted to cry.

Oh how she wished she could help Plagg!

She remained so in thought that she didn't even know what was about to happen.

"I see," Hawkmoth said. "A soul that wishs to help another but can only watch their downfall. I know what that feels like."

Hawkmoth called an akuma to him.

"Fly away, my little akuma, and evilise her!"
The akuma flew away to its victim.

As Tikki pondered sadly, a strange black butterfly fluttered near her purse. Scared, Tikki scurried away.

Breathing heavily, she swatted at the butterfly as it seemed to be persistent at chasing her.

She threw her bag at it, but it merely swirled away from the bag, before colliding with the friendship bracelet she made with Marinette.

Before she could question why it was able to sink through her bracelet, a voice pounded in her head.

"Creati, I am Hawkmoth. I can grant you the power to create anything you want, to stop the heartless bullies that hurt your friend, as long as you give me the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous. Do you agree?"

Tikki felt inclined to agree but then she remembered what Marinette had told her.

'Don't ever, ever agree with Hawkmoth. He will force you to harm those you love, even if you mean to only protect them.'

"Haw-Hawkmoth. I don't want to harm those I love. I will show those bullies, trust me, but without your 'help'."

And with that she slammed the bracelet to the floor, successfully breaking it. The black butterfly fluttered out of the bracelet, but Tikki stomped on it with no mercy.

Then with shakey hands, she walked towards her bag, and rummaged for her phone.

She needed to call someone.

"What!" Hawkmoth screamed. " How could she had resisted my offer!"

"NOOO!"

The next day at school, Plagg was hoping not to pull a Dunkin' Donut and get dunked into the toilet again.

Because honestly, camembert wasn't cheap, and his father would ask too many questions about why the cheese kept disappearing or worse, ban him altogether!

And he could not afford to lose his camembert.

So sadly, not paying the fine he owed the Three MIDketeers was out of the question.

After Science, he crept out of the class, and started to make his way to an empty class, where he knew the witches would be.

However, on his way there, Tikki grabbed his arm, dragging him to the playground.

He tried to resist but Tikki was stronger, and she was fast too.

Plagg tried to protest, but at last she let him go.
The relief was short-lived though, as she once again started to drag him, through the playground until she seemed to find the area that she was looking for.

Underneath one of the stairs. There sat a blonde boy with deep green eyes like his own, and a girl with bluebell eyes, and blue hair styled in two ponytails.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng, and Adrien Agreste.

"Hi, I'm Adrien."

"And I'm Nettamari, I MEAN, I'm Marinette."

"And we want to help Tikki and you. Help you take down Chloé, Sabrina, and Lila." The two said in unison.
