Ladybug jumped into her room from her window before looking down at her outfit. Her red cloak had no scratches at the end of the day, despite the number of times she had to swipe her sharp arrows over the material.

Ladybug willed her bow to turn back into her signature yo-yo, attaching it to the side of her belt on her leg beside a row of daggers. On the belt surrounding her waist, Ladybug's outfit held a cylindrical box to show where the arrows were held whenever she used her alternative weapon. The red cloak had no stain or dirt mark from the night's work, but if it did, the black spots decorating the costume would easily trick you into thinking it was clean.

Marinette transformed into her real self, beaming at her Kwami who now lay exhaustedly with limbs sprawled out on her bed.

"Did you see me saving that old man from being run over by that carriage?" Marinette excitedly asked Tikki, shoving a tray of pastries in front of her, "Oh, and when I used my bow-and-arrow to pin that thief to a wagon?"

"I most certainly did," Tikki replied, munching on the chocolate-chip cookies eagerly, "You were miraculous, Marinette! Simply the best, if you ask me."

Marinette blushed at the compliment, sitting up proudly on the bed, "I'm getting better. I can feel it. My body is developing so that I can be stronger as my real self. I'm learning new techniques everyday, adapting quickly to changes..."

"You're going to be up to the test when things go wrong," Tikki agreed, wiping the crumbs off her red dress, "and that's exactly what this country needs."

Marinette dived onto her bed with a smile of comfort and usefulness. She closed her eyes for a minute, grateful for the time she was given in order to help so many people as Ladybug. She made sure that she was out of sight from any present soldiers so that nobody expected her to be associated with dark magic like Chat Noir.

Wait... Chat Noir? Black cat... Marinette opened her eyes and sat up abruptly. She finally understood what she was missing.

"He's another one like me, isn't he?" the princess gasped as Tikki raised a confused eyebrow at the outburst.

Marinette shook her head before explaining herself, "Chat Noir? The black cat you were rambling on about— he's a Miraculous Holder as well, right?"

Tikki stared at Marinette in shock. Of course, the princess would have figured it out herself. In fact, the discovery was so obvious because the only reason for two masked heroes to be saving the  people of their Kingdom was if they were Miraculous Holders. Besides, Marinette was an intelligent girl— she was bound to figure it out eventually.
