It's been two weeks now since Hawk Moth is defeated, and Nooroo is returned safely to Master Fu along with the Moth Miraculous.
School is over for the day, and tomorrow is the weekend. This gives plenty of time for students of College Francoise Dupont plenty of time to complete their book reports in any book they choose.
Especially this goes to Alya.
Arriving home, she went to her bedroom to pick up the book she is going to have her report on and she chose Treasure Island. While she's in her room, she started to perspire. In fact, it's a hot day.
"I'm hot," she tried to fan herself from the heat that is getting to her. "Maybe I should have a cold drink of ice water first."
She stands up from her desk to go to the kitchen to make herself a cold drink of water. After pouring the glass, she decided to get some ice from the refrigerator. What she didn't know is that her drink got zapped by an energy beam. She closes the fridge after getting some ice for her drink. Of course, she drinks up the water before putting the glass to the sink.
"Ahh, I'm feel refreshed," she said with relief.
While walking from the kitchen to her room, her body is starting to disappear from sight, but her clothes are still present. She is unaware of this until she looks at herself in a full-length mirror.
"Ahhh!" she screamed, then she realized. "What's this?"
Looking in the mirror, she doesn't see her skin, red hair, hazel eyes, or even her beauty mark. Nothing. She doesn't see her body, only her own clothes. She raised her right arm, only to see an empty sleeve raising in the air.
"I'm invisible," she said in realization. "But how I become invisible? Unless..."
She went back to the kitchen to pick up the glass she drank from.
"I think it's from when I drank water," she said. "How? Maybe what's in the water can be analyzed in Ms. Mendeleiev's class."
She goes outside her house.
"Or I can call Ladybug to help me with this crisis."
Just then, she realized something as she looked at the clothes she's wearing.
"I forgot. My clothes are still visible. If I go out like this, I'll cause a panic in Paris about living clothes walking around with no one wearing them. Even worse, no one will let me live it down," she said in realization. "If I were to be completely unseen, then..."
She went back inside as she stared at her unseen reflection. The empty sleeves of her plaid shirt raised as her unseen hands touched one button and looking like she's hesitating before unsealing it. She goes through with the rest of the buttons to take off her shirt. Next, she removes her glasses.
After a few seconds, she went outside, completely invisible by being naked.
In Paris, people are doing their usual business every day of the month. As for Alya, she isn't doing so well since she has to walk nude outside.
"I hate walking in the nude," Alya looked depressed about her condition. "On the bright side, no one can see me."
Suddenly, she saw Ladybug from above.
"Ladybug!" she found hope in seeing her and follows her all the way to... "Wait, is she going to Marinette's house? Could she be...?"
Good thing the front door is not locked, so she opened it to get inside.
"Hello?" Tom asked in confusion as he and Sabine heard the door was open, but they saw no one entered.
How lucky Alya could get with her invisibility. She entered her best friend's room just in time to see her favorite idol going there as well.
"Spots off!" Ladybug exclaimed as light enveloped her. After a two seconds, stood in her place is Marinette.
"Ladybug is... Marinette?" Alya is surprised from the revelation and whispers her reaction about it. She saw that her friend is not alone. In fact, a small creature came out of her earrings and has the same color as her costume.
"So Marinette, are you getting enough fresh air?" the creature asked the blue-haired girl.
"Yes, I did, Tikki," Marinette smiled at her before reaching out for her book. "That's all I need before I start working on my book report about The Invisible Man."
"The Invisible Man? What's the book about?" Tikki asked her.
"Well, it's about a mysterious man named Griffin, who is actually a scientist who researched on optics," Marinette sat on her bed while reading the book. "He created a formula that can make a human being invisible, and he tested it on himself. Thus he is the titular Invisible Man."
"That's fascinating," her kwami commented.
"Good thing I made the right choice on who to turn for help," a voice spoke in their presence.
"You said something, Tikki?" the blue-haired girl asked.
"No, I didn't say anything."
"I'm sure I heard you saying about who to turn for help."
"I didn't say that."
"Oops, sorry. I said that," the voice spoke again.
"Wait. Alya?" Marinette recognized the voice as she puts the book down on her bed before standing up.
"Yes, Marinette, it's me," the voice respond and she felt her hands are being pressed together softly as if her best friend is touching her with affection. "And I'm invisible."
"You're invisible?"
"Yes."
"Wait, if you're invisible and you're here, does that mean you saw...?" the bluenette realized.
"Yes, I saw it, Mari," her invisible best friend respond. "I saw your transformation. I know you're Ladybug."
Just then, Marinette looks panicked on her secret being found.
"Just calm down, girl. I know what you're thinking. I'm not mad at you for not telling me about your secret," Alya spoke with comfort and reassurance to confirm how she felt on the revelation while stroking her friend's hair softly to help her calm down.
"Really?" Marinette is surprised that she took the revelation well. "You're not mad?"
"Of course not. You're my best friend. I won't tell anyone about this, I promise. Can you please calm down now?" Alya promised, causing Marinette to put up a small smile on her face before she changes the subject of their conversation. "Anyway, before I tell you more, you need to see me first, so can you please get me my clothes from my house? Technically, I'm naked at the moment."
"Whoa, you're naked?" Tikki asked with surprise.
"Yes, I am," the voice in the creature's voice respond. "Good thing nobody saw me."
"Okay, just stay here. I'll come back with your clothes," Marinette left the room afterwards.
"So, are you the one who transformed her into Ladybug through her earrings?" Alya asked in an attempt to have a conversation with the flying creature.
"Yes, I am," was Tikki's response. "I'm Tikki, and I'm her kwami."
