Marinette's words ring in my head, my heart and mind arguing about whether or not to listen to her because I would love to get back together with Luka but it was still too dangerous and we had already forced him into a dangerous situation by letting him know Chat Noir's identity. I almost decided to just go ahead and tell him until I saw how  Adrien and Marinette were handling their relationship now. Depending on who's house was closer they'd take each other home, kiss, the one who's home de-transforms and they kiss again before parting. Risky but adorable to do? Absolutely. I would have no idea how true that was.

It happened on a Saturday while I was writing a new song when Luka storms in asking "Where's Sass?"

Seeing his serious face I call out for Sass to come out.

"What's the problem?" I ask.

"Marinette sent me this. I think she wants me to go back to that exact moment but she knows that's not possible."

"I can if I've made a temporal marker for the specific time."

"But the problem with that is when a kwamii uses their power without a holder there's disasters consequences. Which means the situation is dire," I say, crossing my arms when there's a bright flash and we all look outside to see a a bright light against a now red sky.

"Not again, it's the end of the world!" The kwamiis begin to freak out. 

"Sass what's going on?" Luka asks and Sass explains.

"Shadowmoth has taken hold of Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous, he can now make a wish with them combined."

"But how does that cause the end of the world?"

"To make his wish come true the world has to be re-written like this: let's say you wrote down your notes in red ink but later wanted your notes to be in blue ink. You'd have to erase all of your previous notes to make the change."

Another flash of light. 

"Sass go back now-"

Ladybug, Vyperion, and I sync our watches up while Ladybug says we had to be done by 1:05. Chat lands next to us and starts to apologize when the city starts flashing as lights, cars, and alarms go off.

"What's happening?" Ladybug asks as we look down a the town falling into dismay, random things blipping in and out of history.
