Miraculous: Tales of Tikki & Plagg

Adios Marinette, Hello Ladybug!

Tikki's POV

I was anxious. Marinette had last told me that she was quitting being a superhero, but all of the Stoneheart replicas were on the loose. I curled myself into a tighter ball. I wondered if Marinette gave my to her friend.

Alya, right? Or was it Alondra?

Maybe she gave me back to Master Fu. But that was impossible, she didn't even know there was a Guardian of the Miraculous.

My imagination went wild. I mentally cursed Trixx. She'd always sneak up behind me and pop a bag, then chuck it away and say, "Tikki, Plagg's choking on Camembert!" or "Tikki, Plagg's in love with one of the new Kwamis!" and I'd rush over to him, ready to perform CPR (mouth to mouth of course), or to see the new kwami and him making out.

But then I was left with a confused Plagg staring at me and a laughing Trixx doubled over. Trixx was a very good actor and being the sly fox she was, she knew every deepest darkest secrets of everybody. Fortunately for us, she kept them, swearing not to break the "Girl Codes".

Oh yes, there were other Kwamis, beside us 7. No offense to them, but we were the most powerful out of all of them. They were only used for emergencies, as if 4 or more out of Plagg, Dussu, Pollen, Trixx, Wayzz, Nooroo, and I, got used for evil, then, yes, then would be activated.

I believe there's one Miraculous of a pink tiger... a lion... a dragon, ... a ram, and snake. I was pretty sure there was more, but I didn't recall them at the moment. Master Fu was very specific about who to choose. He chose the ones who were injured almost to death, depressed, suicidal, and alone.

Anyway, as I was saying, I was worried. What if Marinette gave me up? What if some evil guy picked me up? What if Marinette died?

I mentally shoved the thoughts away. No. I had to believe in Master Fu. I had to believe in Marinette. Marinette would come back and open the box, realize her mistake, transform into Ladybug, and save Paris. She had to -

My thoughts were interrupted as someone opened the box containing the Miraculous. I shot out of the box and opened my eyes into the Parisian sunlight.

My eyes landed on Marinette. My heart swelled with happiness. Yes!

"Tikki!" Marinette exclaimed joyfully. The girl cupped her hands around my body and pulled me against her cheek. "I missed you so much!"

I hugged her cheek. "I missed you too," I cooed. Marinette pulled away and her happiness was replaced with fearful determination.

"I think I need Ladybug!" she said half confidently. I grinned.

"I knew you'd come around!" I squealed. I threw a quick glance at the battlefield around us. Cat Noir was captured the the Stonehearts and was yelling muffled insults about them while a girl with ombré hair and glasses was slowly being crushed by a car.

"Just say the words, Marinette," I put my hands on my hips and smirked. Marinette's half smile dissolved into a smirk.

Marinette flipped her hair. "Tikki," she began. "SPOTS ON!"
