Chapter 1

Hehe! Hello, my name is Tikki!

I work with Marinette Dupain-Cheng, whose family owns a bakery.

I am a kwami. I give Marinette the power of luck to become Ladybug! I really love being with her. She is an amazing Ladybug! Marinette is a sweet and fun person. I am really glad that I chose her to be Ladybug. Sadly, because of my duties, I do not get to see my other friends. I wonder how the other kwamis are doing. I am sure they found amazing partners, especially Plagg.

I do not see him at all, but sometimes, I sense that he is nearby. I wonder who he chose for his partner. Cat Noir is really interesting. Unlike Marinette's opinion, I think his puns are not that bad. To be honest, sometimes Plagg's puns are worse than Cat Noir's. Hopefully, I will be reunited with all of my friends soon. I definitely cannot wait until then!

"Tikki!" I hear Marinette calling me. I quickly fly to her to see what's the matter.

"What happened, Marinette?" I questioned. Was it an Adrien problem again? Or was there an akuma?

"No, nothing," She said, "I just wanted to give you some cookies as a thank you present."

I was surprised. Thank you for what, I wondered. Marinette must have seen the confusion in my eye, so she said, "You might not remember, but today is our one year anniversary of our friendship; I wanted to thank you for always being there for me."

I blush, but I doubt she could have seen it since my body is already red. "Thank you, Marinette! I am glad to have met you. You are the best!"

I was not lying when I said that. I have lived for so long that I lost track of my age sometimes. Throughout my life, I had witnessed so many different Ladybugs. Each one had their uniqueness and personality. However, she was by far one of the best Ladybugs I have ever worked with. It was not like the others were bad, but they did not have the same kindness and weirdness (in a good way) that Marinette had.

To be honest, I did not choose Marinette because her parents own a bakery. I guess I really am more luckier than I thought. Anyway, I love sweets! Cookies are my number one favorite kind of sweets. They are sugary and their sweetness makes me I can eat other food, but eating sweets makes me super happy and it provides me the most energy!

"Marinette! Marinette, wake up!" I call. Oh no! She was going to be late for school again. Her parents had already called her 27 times without any luck of waking her up. This was just a typical day in the Dupain-Cheng household.

The only response I get is a hand swat and a lot of groaning. I was not going to give up! It was time for strategy #5! If that did not work, then I did not know what will.

"Marinette! An akuma! Chat Noir is in your house!" I lied, "I think he is starting to look at those pictures on your wall!"

"Wah!" Marinette yelled, "I'm ready! I'm ready!" Yay, I thought, It worked!

"Umm… It was a lie. Sorry," I admitted, "You are going to be late; You promised Ayla to get their early to give her something!"

"Oh shoot!" Marinette shot out of bed and starts panicking. Then, she runs off to get ready for school.

I sighed, "Geez Marinette!"

After a few minutes, I fly into her purse that she always carries around with her. I like her purse because Marinette always makes sure that she does not overcrowd the purse. The pink, little handbag is soft on the inside. The lining is made of a smooth and insulating fabric that keeps me warm, instead of being cold.

Moments after I got in the purse, I feel like bag moving and I know it's Marinette. She softly whispers, "Tikki do you want some cookies?"

I nudge the side of the purse to say yes. I hear the clasp of the bag open and a couple of sweet chocolate chip cookies are gently fell in. In attempt to savor the fantastic flavor, I slowly nibble the sweet dessert. Every bite is worth it. As Marinette walks, the bag slowly sways back and forth and back and forth. I find myself sleeping in it as she goes to school.

There are times during the day when I am sleeping in Marinette's purse. I usually slept when Marinette was at school. However, today was one of those days where I was not able to sleep. I think it was a couple hours after I fell asleep that I woke up. It was not the loud chatter in the classroom that alerted me.. I was suddenly sensing a powerful force near me. Who or what was it? There seemed to be no akumas around, so what could it be?

I was beginning to feel restless. I could not fall back asleep. I began tossing and turning in the tiny purse. Marinette noticed and covertly patted the bag to tell me to not move around or else someone might notice. I could also feel that she was feeling a bit worried about me. I wanted to help her, but I felt oddly sick.

Later, I was gaining a huge headache. I moaned as quietly as I could so that no one noticed, but it hurt. It was way too painful for me. My head felt like it could split into two. I never had this feeling in my entire existence. What was going on!

A/N: Hey! It has been a while since I was on this account. I was writing another story, but I decided to delete and fix that one. Hope you enjoy Long Awaited Reunion!
