Love Square -Adrienette/LadyNoir/MariChat/Ladrien MIRACULOUS LADYBUG FANFIC

CH18 :The Kwami Swap P2

[Narrator's POV]

Marinette sighs as she watches Adrien leave. Once she returns to her room, Tiki emerges from her purse.

"I'm so proud of you Marinette," Tiki says. "You're getting more and more comfortable around Adrien."

"I know! I spent a whole hour alone with him without making a total fool out of myself." Marinette replies happily.

She opens her desk draw and puts all of her photos of Adrien back up on her wall. Last but not least, Marinette takes out her photo of Cat Noir and sticks it right in the middle of them all.

"Adrien must be blind because there is a serious connection between you two." Tiki says.

Marinette swoons over her collection of Adrien photos. "Really, you think so? Maybe I should update my daily log with this achievement!"

Marinette takes out her pink diary box and sits down at her desk. As soon as she unlocks the box, the lid bursts open.

"AH!" Marinette falls backwards off her chair as a small black creature comes whizzing out.

"I'm free!" Plagg exclaims.

Marinette screams. "Rat! Uh, or bug? FLYING RAT!"

Tiki gasps. "Marinette, wait!"

Marinette had already begun chucking things at Plagg.

"Uh-Oh...You weren't supposed to see me." Plagg says, hiding behind Marinette's computer. "Ah, don't worry human I come in peace! No, wait, I mean—Meow...?"

Marinette holds up a book, threatening to throw it, but Tiki flies in front of her to stop her.

"Marinette, I said wait!" She yells as loud as her squeaky voice can.

Plagg peeks out from behind Marinette's computer. "Tiki? Is that...you?"

Tiki zooms forward and tackles Plagg happily. "Plagg! I haven't seen you in years!" She says as she hugs him. Tiki suddenly pushes Plagg away, her mood swinging drastically. "What do you think you are doing here?"

"I got caught in your human's crazy kwami trap!" Plagg stresses.

"Uh...that's my diary." Marinette speaks up anxiously. "Tiki, who...or what is this Plagg?" She creeps closer to observe Plagg. "I-Is he...another kwami?" Marinette pokes Plagg's ears. "A cat kwami...?" Her eyes shoot open with realisation. Marinette gasps as she stumbles backwards away from Plagg. "You—You're—You're Cat Noir's kwami, aren't you?"

"That's right. And if Tiki is here then..." Plagg points at Marinette dramatically. "Then you must be Ladybug!"

"AH! No! No, no, NO! Cat Noir's kwami knows who I am!" Marinette panics. "Oh Tiki why didn't you hide! Now he's going to tell Chat my identity! Oooh-ho-ho, this is bad!" She suddenly glares at Plagg and points her finger at him menacingly. "Cat Noir sent you here to find out who I am, didn't he? Didn't he! That's why you were snooping in my diary!"

"Please try to calm down, Marinette." Tiki says weakly.

Marinette turns on Tiki. "Why aren't you more concerned? You said my identity is my weakness, he's going to spill it to Cat Noir!"

"No, he won't. Relax Marinette." Tiki says. "Kwami are creatures of protection. We are sworn to safeguard the miraculous wielders. I told you that it is harder than you think to be found out as Ladybug. Plagg cannot reveal your identity, even if he wanted to. The only way Cat Noir could find out who you are is to witness your transformation."
