It was a crisp fall day in Paris, the birds were singing, the trees turning shades of red and orange… even a waft of pumpkin spice came through the air from nearby coffee shops and bakeries. It had probably been two weeks since school actually began, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and her friend Aiya walking down the rue, looking into a few shops before stopping at the steps to Marinette's house. Waving au revoir to her friend, Marinette walked inside and went upstairs to her room.
"Aiya seems happy today! Maybe she got a new update for her blog?" Tikki chirped, flying out of Marinette's bag
"Well we haven't been out as much, it seems Hawkmoth isn't sending out that many Akuma lately." Marinette replied, then looking at her bed, seeing a black kwami staring back at her. "Tikki did you invite a friend over?"
"Plagg, what are you doing here?" Tikki flew over to the kwami, who just rolled over onto his stomach. "Where's Chat Noir?"
"He said he wasn't gonna buy me more cheese…" Plagg looked back at Marinette, eyes widening before looking at Tikki "Wait, is this Ladybug?"
"I can get cheese for you." Marinette sat next to the small cat, holding him up on her hands. "Tikki, we should check if Chat Noir is okay if his kwami is here." she paused "Who is Chat Noir?"
Plagg rolled over "Cheese?"
"Well since the Akuma activity has been relatively low… Tikki, would you mind checking on Chat Noir?"
"Alright, you should be fine with Plagg here in case something comes up…" Tikki flew out the window, Marinette letting Plagg fly into her bag so she could go downstairs.
Meanwhile, on the other end of Paris
"Plagg? Where are you Plagg?" Adrien Adreste looked around his room, pausing quickly looking for the black cat kwami "I was kidding about the cheese! You can have all you want!"
"Chat Noir?" a small voice chirped behind him
Adrien looked around, spotting a red kwami. "You're not Plagg."
"Plagg's with Ladybug right now, no worries." the kwami flew up to his nose.
"You're Ladybug's kwami?" Adrien looked at the red kwami in front of him "Wait, where's Ladybug?"
"I'm Tikki. I shall accompany you until we meet up with Ladybug to swap."" the kwami smiled, Adrien shifting his gaze to his book bag.
"I kinda have to get to school, would you mind tagging along in my bag?"
"With pleasure." Tikki flew into the bag and looked up at Adrien. Her eyes closed slightly as she watched the top of the bag close.
Today might be an interesting day…
