"Tikki?" Marinette asked the ladybug-like kwami that was floating beside her.

"Yes?" Tikki replied.

"Can you tell me about the other Ladybugs? Like, was there one in America? Or, one in Russia?" Tikki giggled and sat down on the desk holding Marinette's computer.

"Of course! Each Ladybug is different, and they all had very different personas. Like... Ah! Annie Oakly! She was really fun, and was basically the best sharpshooter!"

"Sharpshooter? Is that a person who handles guns?" Marinette had a slightly fearful look. She was hearing about people who were probably better than her.

"Yep. She was the best lady shooter in the American west! But, she had a temper that was... Something. But, even when she wasn't saving her home, she still was the best sharpshooter. And she was only 15!" Tikki smiled and Marinette was listening intently.

"What about another Ladybug?" The little red kwami thought for a moment before lighting up.

"Ooh! There was one girl, ancient Egypt, who was really cool. She was kinda like you! She loved making outfits and helped with the pharaoh's son. They were the perfect couple. It didn't hurt that he was also their Chat Noir." Marinette jumped up.

"What?! He was Chat Noir?! Were they in love?"

"Deeply! But, since they thought they couldn't reveal themselves to each other, they spent some of their lives in secrecy." Tikki sighed and closed her eyes, thinking back to Tlcoltc (pronounced Cltocxil) and Nafera. Marinette held Tikki in her hands.

"How many Ladybugs have their been, Tikki?"

"Only a few hundred. Same with every other Miraculous. After each one, the other kwamis and I sleep for about 70 years."

"Who was the Ladybug before me?" Tikki closed her eyes and thought back.

"A young girl. Her name was Anne. And she wasn't Annie Oakly. This girl lived in Germany. But, what she lived through..." Tikki seemed to become quiet, as if remembering a painful memory. "I was only with her for a few years, hiding during the day and fighting at night, until they found her. Just think, if they had stayed in that attic for just one more year... They would've been saved." The little kwami hiccuped and wiped away little tears. Marinette held Tikki and comforted her, thinking about who this might have been.

"Tikki?" The said kwami looked up at the navy blue haired girl. "What was her name?"

"... It doesn't matter. No matter who was or will be Ladybug, I have waited a thousand years," she hugged Marinette kindly. "Just to meet you."

Hey babes!
Omg, I loved this one. I thought about making this another Adrienette or LadyNoir, but I thought about Marinette and Tikki and wanted to give them a story of their own.

Hey, should I do one for Adrien and Plagg? Comment if you do or don't!

Anyhow, babes, don't worry about next week. I'll update, and don't worry about the week after and the first week of June. I'm gonna be on a trip for an early 16th birthday for me, my aunt's cousin's 19th birthday, and my mom's 50 birthday at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios! Yay!

Alright vote, comment, and share this story!

Love you babes,
