Marinette's alarm went off. She groaned and switched it off. "Another day. Another day of..." Marinette looked at her phone. "Being late!" Marinette tried to hurry out of her bed, but landed face down on the end of it.

Marinette groaned again. "Today is off to a great start," Marinette said as she sat up. Tikki flew up to Marinette's face. "C'mon Marinette. You may be late but you don't want to be any later than you have to be."

Marinette groaned was more. Tikki giggled and a few seconds later Marinette joined her. Marinette carefully walked down the stairs that led to the main part of her room. She got dressed in her original white flower printed shirt, brown jacket, pink capris, and her pink flats that tied it all together. She grabbed her homemade bag as Tikki flew in it and she ran off down stairs.

"Morning honey." Sabine said as her daughter hurried past her. "Morning mom! I'm sorry I can't stay to have breakfast. I am super late. Love you!" Marinette shut the door as soon as she finished talking. She was just lucky to live across the street from the school.

Marinette ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She saw Alya walking toward to school entrance. "Alya!" Alya turned to see her best friend out of breath. "Hey girl. Why are you running?"

Marinette tried to catch her breath before answering. "Because...I'm late. Are...you late...too?" The bell rung. "Nope and neither are you." Alya tried to help Marinette up. "What?"

"Let me see your phone girl." Alya extended her hand out to see what she was asking for. Marinette reached in her purse, dodged Tikki, and pulled out her phone. Alya hit the power button quickly to make it light up. She then turned it around to show Marinette. "Girl, your time is wrong."

Marinette was confused. She didn't do that. She then realized who could've done it. "Mom." Alya laughed at Marinette's response. "Well your mom was smart. You arrived on time. Now come on! I heard we are learning something new today." Alya handed Marinette her phone back then they ran into their classroom.

Both Alya and Marinette sat in their regular seats and waited for class to get started. Everyone was there just not the teacher. "Where is she?" Alya asked Marinette. "This isn't normal?" It had been a while since Marinette had been on time to school, so she thought this was normal. Alya shook her head.

All of a sudden, the lights flashed and on the screen a girl appeared. At least she looked like a girl. She wore a mask that hid most of her face just not her mouth. Her mouth was slender and her eyes were soft and blue. Even thought it didn't appear she had long hair, she looked more like a woman than a man.

"Hello. I am Beast." The voice was distorted so no one could tell what gender it was let alone who she was. "Now don't be alarmed. I have been given permission to do this by the principle and your teacher."

Marinette held her purse closer to her as Adrien clenched his fist. "How can we trust you?!" Adrien and Marinette said at the same time. They looked at each other and then back at the screen.

Their principle and teacher appeared next to Beast. "Hello children!" Everyone giggled and laughed. Marinette loosened up a bit as did Adrien.

The two left to where there was only Beast left on the screen. "Now I hate to do this but I have to separate you."

"What?!" The whole class was scared. What did she mean by separate? "I'm sorry." Beast took off her mask. It revealed a girl they had never seen before with her hair in a ponytail. "That mask is itchy."

"Who are you?" Marinette asked. "Again. I'm Beast, but you can call me Belle." "Oh! Like Beauty and the Beast!" Rose exclaimed in excitement. Belle giggled. "Sure. Now...let's get started."

Belle snapped her fingers and that seemed to activate what happened next. Their desks pulled apart and before they could do anything, metal walls fell all around each and every one of them.

"Alya!" Marinette got out of her seat as Tikki flew out of her bag. Marinette ran to the side of the metal box she was now in that she last saw Alya. "Alya! Can you hear me?! Alya!" Marinette stopped when she heard a voice. "So sorry, Marinette, but these walls are kind proof."

Marinette turned around and saw a T.V. with Belle on it hanging from the roof, but was a perfect view from her seat. Marinette walked to her seat and sat down. "What's going on? Where are you from?" Belle smiled. "I'm not important. Trust me. I'm not akumatized, I'm not evil, I'm not anything bad of what you think."

"Why are you doing this?" Marinette asked. "I'm a person that likes to see reactions." Belle laughed. "Okay. What exactly are we reacting to?" Marinette asked Belle with more curiosity than what can kill 7 cats. Belle smiled again.

Belle pressed a button that way she shrunk to reveal Marinette's class, including Alya, Nino, and Adrien. Alya was freaking out with her phone in her hand. Marinette looked at her phone then. "No service?" Marinette questioned aloud.

"Sorry, Alya. No service until you get home," Belle explained. Marinette laughed when Alya laid back in her seat pouting. "Be sure to record though. For you will want to." Marinette looked at Belle.

"You will all be let out at the same time as you usually due for school just separately. You can't contact any of your classmates in any way until tomorrow morning." Everyone was intrigued now.

"You will now be watching..." the suspense killed Marinette. "Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. Have a nice day."

The screen went black and the first episode started with a theme song. "Oh no..." Marinette said.
