It was a bright spring day in Paris, the bees were buzzing, the birds chirping, the trees were swaying... and one exasperated Kwami was yelling at her chosen, "Hurry up, Marinette! You're going to be late!"

"I know, I know, Tikki! Madame Bustier will send me to detention if I'm late again, and I can't afford to have my parents grounding me, especially since it's my senior year and I have so much to do!" shouted Marinette as she ran up the school steps and into her classroom, barely making it as the bell rang. Over the course of four years many things had changed, but not the fact the Marinette was still late.

Mme. Bustier stood up from her desk and opened up her presentation, "Good morning, class. Today we will be learning about a critical time in our history, a time commonly known as the French Revolution."

School progressed from there, and before anyone knew it, the week was up. The history test on Monday was going to be quite difficult, Mme. Bustier had informed them, so they needed to study hard.

Marinette wasn't great at history and needed to study a lot, so she asked Alya to come over and help. Luckily for Marinette, there hadn't been any akuma attacks that week, and she was able to catch up on missed classes due to past attacks.

"So Mari, who killed Marat?"

"Um, was it Charlotte Corday?"

"Yup! Good job, girl! You're getting better at this!"

"Thanks for coming over Alya. You're a true friend. I don't what I'd do without you."

"Aw, girl, you'll never lose me. I'm here for life!" said Alya.

As they spoke, far off screams reached their ears, "Drat! Right when we were getting into our groove. I've gotta go cover this for the Ladyblog, ya coming with?"

"Nah, you know how I am around akumas, Alya. I'll just stay here and study," said Marinette with a smile. She had gotten increasingly good at lying since she became Ladybug, which concerned her a little bit.

"Alright, but you never get to see Ladybug. I just want my best friend to meet her, too."

"Thanks Alya, but I'm all right."

"Ok then, gotta run!"

As soon as Alya left, Tikki popped out and chirped, "Are you ready?"

"You bet I am. Tikki, spots on!"

Moments later a confident Ladybug arrived only to be greeted by a rambunctious Chat Noir.

"Hey, m'lady. Ready to pawsitively beat this akuma?"

"Oh Chat, let's just get going."

Together they jumped towards the akuma, which seemed to be of a historical theme. Apparently she was a museum curator, and Chloe was involved. Chloe plus anyone is never a good combination, as we all know. Her dress was midnight blue in the style of the Elizabethan monarchy. The bottom portion, from the waist down, was covered with a print of small silver fleur-de-lis. The top, however, consisted of hundreds of jewels stitched onto the fine silk. A silver crown adorned her head, in one of her hands she held up an orb encrusted in sapphires, and attached to her side was a silver scepter.

"Ladybug and Chat Noir, here at last!" She slowly sashayed towards them with a smirk on her painted face, "My name is Monarch, and I will have your miraculouses!"

She held up the orb and it began to glow, sending out a blast of pale blue light in all directions, clothing the people within 10 yards of her in historic garb. She giggled as they tried to run away, effectively slowed by the sheer amount of fabric.

Ladybug swung her yo-yo and wrapped it around Monarch's arm, yanking it so that the orb fell, but Monarch caught it with her empty hand and placed it in the pocket beneath her skirts. "Tsk tsk tsk, Ladybug. You missed." She pulled out her scepter and began shooting much more concentrated blasts out of it.

Ladybug and Chat flipped and twisted, trying to avoid all of the newer blasts which were making people seemingly making people disappear.

"Chat!" Ladybug called between blasts, "We need to regroup!"

"Sure thing, m'lady! Meet me at the top of the Eiffel Tower in 5!" Chat vaulted himself away first, and moments later Ladybug joined him, akuma vainly trying to catch up in a car that she turned into a carriage.

"All right, Chat. We know that her orb can make people wear old fashioned clothing and inanimate objects will become their historical equivalents, while her scepter makes people disappear. We don't really know what's happening to them, so it's best to leave that alone. Any ideas?"

"Hmmm, her akuma could be practically anywhere, in her scepter, her orb, her crown, or something completely different. It may be a good idea for you to use your lucky charm now."

"Good idea. Lucky charm!" Ladybug summoned her power and caught the spotted object in her hands, "Seriously? A rose? These thing just keep getting more and more cryptic." She rolled her eyes.

The rattle of wooden wheels along the cobblestone announced Monarch's arrival, but nothing appeared in Ladybug's lucky vision.

A slight rustling movement from behind the tower's elevator startled Ladybug, and she whipped around, "Alya! You can't be up here!"

Chat walked forward, "Alya, get in the elevator. Monarch is almost here and we don't want you to get hurt."

"Oh come on guys, this is the biggest scoop of the week!" Alya groaned, even as Chat walked her to the elevator and pushed the button.

All of a sudden, Monarch appeared, floating just above their heads in Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine, "Well now, it looks like I have you two caught. Now now, don't give me such angry looks. It is finally time for me to take your miraculouses!" Monarch whipped out her staff, holding it high in the sky, and fired.

Ladybug and Chat jumped behind support beams, blocking her shot, but Alya, who was desperately pushing the down button on the elevator, suddenly froze and disappeared as the blue ray hit her.

"ALYA!" Ladybug shouted as her best friend disappeared. "You will pay for this, you beast!"

"Oh, we'll see about that," Monarch chuckled as she shot another ray of light at the charging Ladybug, but unlike the last time, she hit Ladybug, causing her to vanish into thin air.

"What did you do to her?!" Chat Noir grabbed the akuma's arm.

"Oh, I just sent her to most chaotic time in France's history. A place where you will never be able to save her. Bye, bye, Chat Noir," Monarch smirked as she shot a shocked Chat Noir who disappeared as quickly as his lady did.

A/N- Hello everyone! Cel here! I'm here to reintroduce Déjà Vu. I have been planning a bit (since I didn't do that when I started this fic) so I have to change somethings. It will take me a while to rewrite my chapters (I won't redo all of them- just most of them), so it may take a bit to post new chapters. To all my new readers, welcome! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this. Have a great day!
