Alix leapt out of a portal and did a little roll on the floor before lying face-down on the solid burrow floor. Her heart was racing faster than she did after finding out the prize for the skating competition was a
voucher for a life of free fruit smoothies. Her hand was over her chest, which was rapidly moving up and down. She couldn't stop gasping at what she had just witnessed. A kwami erasing an entire race just because he didn't like the look of them? Like was this a kwami or Adolf Hitler? Young Bunnix shuddered. That was one of the timelines she promised herself she would never visit, even in a life or death situation. Mini Bunnix wondered whether or not Fluff had ever had an episode like this before. If so, the consequences would surely be drastic, messing with the timeline and all that.

"Fluff, counter-clockwise!" she breathed, and her kwami appeared in front of her, a smirk etched upon her face.
"What are you smiling at?" Alix asked, not amused.
"Having fun?" the kwami asked, circling around Alix and snuggling her stomach.
"HAHAHA STAHHP! I'M T-TICKLISH!" Alix screamed, and to her surprise, the kwami obeyed almost instantly.
"Why would I find that fun?" she asked Fluff, "I literally just stood by and watched a bunch of rad reptiles be demolished!"
Fluff smiled at her, "that's one of the best parts!" she said, sounding almost sadistic.

Alix rolled her eyes and reached into her pocket- she barely had any of her Arabic candy left but she gave Fluff what she could find. The kwami didn't seem to mind though, as she grabbed them all and started eating. Alix grinned at her buddy. It was the first time someone had actually appreciated her background other than her being a French girl. Sure, it was indirect, but Fluff seemed to really enjoy these candies and that made Alix feel good.

"So where to next?" she asked her kwami, "The discovery of chocolate right?"
Fluff looked up at her, her eyes wider than her teeth.
"Uh are you sure?" she asked nervously, "Why don't we visit World War One instead?"
Alix did not know why her kwami was being weird, but she guessed it was something she should've gotten used to.
"Fluff, clockwise!" she shouted, and proceeded to jump into a nearby portal.

It was 4000 years prior, and Baby Bunnix landed in Mexico, in a superhero pose. This was a huge mistake, however, as the force on her legs was so hard that she felt as if they might shatter. The ground beneath her was extremely hard and the intense force travelled up her legs, before stopping at her butt and forcing her to give in. She landed flat on her stomach, thinking about how incredibly useless and unnecessary that landing was. She sighed to herself before lifting herself up and looking around. She immediately realised something was off. Some strange brown liquid was dropping from the sky. Not like rain, it was more like huge splashes, as if the clouds had been holding all that brown liquid for decades and had finally given in. Tiny Bunnix looked worried. Was this brown liquid what she thought it was? She caught a red creature thing in the distance, covered in black dots. She couldn't make out exactly what it was, but she had a wild guess. Much to her surprise, the kwami seemed be trying to catch the brown liquid in her mouth. Ew. Mini Bunnix was utterly disgusted by what she was seeing, and it seemed like the ground was also flooded with a lot of this brown substance. She had seen enough.

"Burrow!" she yelled, before leaping into the portal. She had completely forgotten about the immense pain in her lower half, however, and landed on the burrow floor in serious physical pain.
"counter-clockwise!" she moaned, and her kwami flew out of the watch, in perfect condition. Alix looked up at her kwami.
"That was Tikki, right?" she asked, knowing fully well that it was.
"Yes." her kwami confirmed. "the kwami of creation"
Alix hesitated for a second, then asked: "and the brown liquid?"
"chocolate mousse!" Fluff yelled excitedly.
Alix took this information by surprise.
"Wait so it wasn't-" she said nervously.
"It was chocolate mousse!" Fluff repeated, growing happier by the second. This made Alix feel slightly better, but she had other questions.
"It was the same thing as Plagg, right?"
Fluff nodded.
"When chocolate was first discovered, Tikki couldn't resist her cravings." The kwami explained. "It rained chocolate mousse for eight weeks!"
Alix seemed surprised that Ladybug's own kwami, the kwami of creation, would do something as childish as this. She had always thought that the kwami was supposed to have a similar personality to its transformed holder. However, maybe the fact that even Tikki could get distracted, proved that even Ladybug had many flaws?
"Does Ladybug know about these...uh...cravings?" Alix asked curiously.
"Not until recently!" Her kwami told her, her tiny face glowing.

Alix seemed lost in thought. The heroic duo of Paris had always seemed like role models to everyone, even idols! But maybe these people were too blind to see the real people behind the masks? Besides, Alix had a close friend who was a celebrity, but nobody knew his true awkward nature until he started school and began meeting people. Alix shared a locker with him, and even she saw that he had cherished the school photo they took so much that he stuck it on the inside! She told him she didn't mind though, as she thought she looked hella leng in that pic. But this was just even more proof that not even superheroes like Ladybug and Chat Noir, or models like Adrien Agreste, could ever be near perfect. Alix stared at the watch that was clung to her side, realizing what Ladybug had entrusted her with, and made a choice. She looked up at her kwami.

"Fluff, I think I'm finally ready to learn the secret identities of Ladybug and Chat Noir!" she announced, looking at her with a determined look.
"Yay!" her kwami squealed excitedly.
"Fluff." Alix looked at her kwami and smiled.
"Clockwise!"
Smol Bunnix ran towards the nearest portal, the temptation overwhelming her, and began scrubbing along, trying to find the right moment. She needed to make this perfect, while also being discreet. When she eventually found it, Teen Bunnix prepared to jump in, then stopped. She remembered something that Ladybug had once said to her:
"Responsibility isn't something to be taken lightly..." she repeated to herself. She stared at the portal, realising what she was about to do, realising what this would change, realising the price she would have to pay if this went wrong. She took a deep breath and sighed. Then, she jumped.
