Bug Out!

Marinette yawned and stretched. She had just woken up, and she actually felt… well rested for once! She sat up in bed, to find that she was already sitting up. Did I fall asleep doing my homework again? She wondered. Opening her eyes, she noticed several strange facts: First, she was sitting in a huge room. There was a big screen on the wall she was facing. Second, she was in a beanbag. Third, she wasn't alone.

"Marinette?" She heard someone say. Recognizing the voice, she gasped and looked for its owner, who was sitting right next to her, on the beanbag to her left.

"A-A-Adrien?" She asked incredulously. He nodded. "Wh-Wh-Where are w-w-we? Not that I… don't want to be h-here with you, b-but I had some things to do in the parents today to help my b-bakery, so…"

Adrien chuckled. "I don't really know,but our whole class is here! And everyone but us is sleeping…"

"Marinette," another voice on her right called.

"-except Alya, apparently." Adrien finished.

Marinette looked around, confused. Slowly everyone in their class started to stir. Nobody had any idea what was going on.

"Were we… kidnapped?" Mylene asked fearfully, hugging Ivan closer.

"I don't-" Marinette started.

"Hello." A voice, seeming to come from every direction, started to speak. A girl - probably in her early teens - appeared on screen. She had long, french-braided brown hair and pink glasses. She wore a t-shirt and a pink jacket.

"I'm Lucy," the girl announced.

"Lucy?" whispers were heard all around the room.

"Yes. Now, listen up! In my dimension, you all are part of a TV show called Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. Today, you are here to watch that show. You will be watching every episode that is out - so far. There are kitchens back there and bathrooms over there. Only by watching the show will you be able to leave. Oh, and yes, you will discover Ladybug and Cat Noir's identity, then later in season 2, Hawkmoth and Rena Rouge. Are you up for it?"

Everyone nodded their heads warily.

"Good. You may watch season one in any order. Your class rep has the remote."

Marinette looked down to see that, indeed, she had the remote. When she looked up again, the girl was gone.

"Um… okay… I guess we should… start?" Marinette suggested. To her surprise, Adrien and Alya seemed just as tentative as she.

"I… suppose," Adrien answered as Alya nodded.

"Which episode should I start with?" Marinette asked.

"Uh-"

"I don't-"

"The Bubbler." A voice said firmly. Everyone whipped their heads to look at Nino, who shrank back in his seat.

"Bro, are you sure?" Adrien asked, concerned.

"I-" Nino closed his eyes for a moment. "Yes. I'd rather get it over with. Plus, it is the first episode, and why not watch in order?"

"True," Adrien mused. "I say go for it," he continued, turning to Marinette. She nodded nervously.

"Everyone ready?" she asked. There was a murmur of consent. "Then let's do this." They all sat back as the Bubbler began to play.
