"So, how does this work?" Alix asks her kwami when she's alone during lunch time.

"The only thing you have to do to transform is saying 'Fluff, clockwise'. To activate your special power, you say 'burrow'."

Alix nods, holds the clock out and says "Fluff, clockwise!" She transforms into Bunnyx, but a younger version than the one she met. After checking out what she looks like, she says "Burrow." And draws a circle with her umbrella. She walks through the circle into her bureau. It's much bigger than expected, but she can't stay around much longer. She knows Ladybug and Chat Noir have a time limit after they used their powers, Alix has no idea if she has a limit too, so she decides she has to do this as quickly as possible.

She walks around in her bureau, she knows she needs as little information about the future as possible and since she only needs to figure out Chat Noir's identity, it can't be that hard. She holds her hand on a circle and turns it, but when she sees someone throw the news paper of 1996 in the trash, she knows she's got the wrong circle. She tries a few others and finally opens one where she sees Ladybug and Chat Noir in action, it's a coincidence that it was the time they fought Timebreaker, her akumatised form. Is it possible to find out Chat Noir's secret identity without messing up the timeline?

Alix thinks of a way to find out his identity when she hears someone say "Hey mini-me!" Alix is scared and turns around.

"How?" She asks.

The older Alix can only laugh "Don't worry. There's only one bureau, and since there's no time here, we share the same. Fluff felt your presence so I thought I'd transform to help you. It's your first time, right?"

Young Alix still thinks it's weird to talk to herself this way, but she finds it neat too. "Yes, first time. And I'm supposed to tell Chat Noir about Ladybug's plan, but I don't know his secret identity and I'm afraid I'll mess up the timeline if I go to see for myself."

"If you ask me to tell you, I'm sorry, but I can't. I'm not supposed to tell anyone their identities, even if it's to my younger self, but I can help you find it out yourself if you want." Young Alix nods.

"This place responses to your thoughts, it basically means that you can visit every time and place you want if you can focus on finding it." Old Alix explains, young Alix walks to a random circle.

"So all I have to do is focus on seeing Chat Noir transform and I can see his identity?" Young Alix asks.

"Not exactly. You have to think of a date where a fight took place and a specific place where Chat Noir transformed."

"How am I supposed to know where he transforms if I don't know who he is?" Young Alix says annoyed, this is impossible.

"There must have been a fight where there's only one place he could have transformed." Young Alix starts thinking, he could have transformed everywhere anytime he wanted. After a while, she realises she doesn't have to see him transform into Chat Noir, she can also see him de-transform.

"I know a time and place." Young Alix says, holding her hand on a circle and focussing to that one time Nino and Alya got akumatized into Oblivio. The date, the place, the time, Alix pixtures it as best as she can. When she turns her hand to open the portal, she notices that she has succeeded. She can see Ladybug and Chat Noir in the elevator, both confused about what happened as they had just lost their memory. After a few seconds of watching them, they transform back. Ladybug transforms into Marinette and Chat Noir transforms into... Adrien.

"It's Adrien." Young Alix says. Thinking of it, Adrien is always late too, but she always thought it was because of his father and job as teen model, she never thought he was Chat Noir.

"Good job mini-me!" Old Alix says, giving her younger self a hug.

"I have to get back to school as soon as possible, the lunchbreak will end in a few minutes and I still have to inform Adrien." Young Alix says, suddenly rushing, which makes old Alix laugh. She can remember this day as if it was yesterday, she can remember the stress she felt.

"Calm down, mini-me. I already told you this place doesn't know time, that means that you can leave through the same portal you entered and no one will know you were here." Young Alix feels calmed down.

"Guess this is goodbye then, will I see you again?" Young Alix asks.

"Time will tell." Old Alix says, walking to the portal with young Alix.

"Oh, and one last thing. As you have noticed, you don't have a time-limit after you've used your powers. But you're still young and your powers do have other limits. You can use your special power only once a transformation, so be prepared. And- good luck." Old Alix says, young Alix thanks her for the information and leaves to inform Adrien before lunch break is over.
Once Young Alix is gone, old Alix feels sad, she knows what will happen that day and it's nothing to look forward too.
