Author's Notes: Hey, it's TheAmazingFireshadow! Moonwa1ker and I are doing a collaboration for the first time (!), and this will be posted on both of our accounts. Be sure to check out her stories, too (they're really good!).

I yawn, tired after a solid hour of gaming and writing. Fanfiction really does a number on the brain! Checking the time, I see it's around 11:45 pm. I plop heavily on my bed, before laying down and getting comfortable. "Ash! Get over here! We just have to watch the latest Miraculous episode!" I beg, scooching over to make room. Ash Johnson has been my best friend since… well it feels like forever, but in reality it's only been a few months. I flew out to meet her, and so now we are absolutely binging on the show that brought us together - Miraculous Ladybug. She smiles brightly, before coming over to join me. Pulling up my computer from the floor, I open it and quickly search up the latest episode. Together, Ash and I snuggle in under the comforters, before I hit play. However, we barely last 15 minutes before falling asleep, the show still blaring in the background.

I groan as light hits my eyes, and roll in the other direction, choosing to ignore it. I am not a morning person. At all. "Celesteeee! Wake up!" Sadly, I can't ignore Ash is she shakes me relentlessly. "Fivemoreminutes" I mumble, stuffing a pillow over my head. She plucks it off, before deciding on a new tactic. "Celeste, I brought doughnuts!"

I bolt upright, immediately interested. "What kind?" I ask.

"The invisible kind," she responds, winking. I groan. Of course. I should've known it was all a ploy to get me up. Well, no turning back now. I slip out of bed, my feet dragging on the ground as I shuffle into the bathroom to brush my teeth and tame my hair. However, I as notice my reflection in the mirror, I freeze. What the hell?! Standing in my place, there is someone with long dirty blond hair, forest green eyes, perfect skin, and a monster bedhead. Sure, that's all normal (minus the perfect skin, sigh), but what's not is… WHY AM I A CARTOON?! I scream.

"Celeste?" Ash calls out, concerned. "What's… OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED?!"

She stares in the mirror, blinking as she takes herself in. She still has her bright, blue eyes, medium length brown hair, and a light tan. We just stand there, dumfounded, when suddenly something occurs to me. "Um… Ash? Where… where are we?" I whisper, nervous for the answer.

"I - uh - don't know?" she says, uncertain. I go back out to our room, when I realize it isn't our room. It has clean, white walls, a pretty bed with blue covers and a complementing carpet on the floor. However, seeing as there's no luggage or dressers, I realize… "WHERE ARE OUR CLOTHES?!" I shout.

Ash, still stupefied, stumbles back out the bathroom, and just shrugs, her mouth shut tight. I sigh heavily. "Alright… alright. It's ok! We're just in a strange… cartoon world, with no clothes, no family, and nowhere to go… unless this is our place?"

We freeze as we hear the door creak open, and someone comes in, whistling. "Hide!" I hiss. Ash quickly dives under the bed, and I jump into the closet. Looking out through a crack in the door, I see a pretty french girl in a maid's outfit. She seems to be busy, bustling around the room, dusting off the tables, rearranging the flowers… and then dropping them. I follow her gaze, and realize what she saw. The bed. It was a mess, very obviously slept in, and the poor girl is immediately frightened. "H-hello?" she calls out, nervous.

I step out of the closet slowly, sheepish for getting caught. "I… umm… hi?" I offer. Ash gets up as well, scooching out backwards from under the bed. "Erm… hey," she says.

The maid screams. "Oh! No, no! Please! Don't do tha-"

"SECURITY!" she calls out, looking frightened to near tears. "HELP! HELP!"

Immediately four armed guards rush into the room, ignoring the glass on the floor. The maid points a shaky finger at us, shrinking back as the guards move past her. "I can explain! We don't know how we got here! There must be some mista-" I'm cut off again as I shriek in surprise. One of the guards had wrapped his big arms around me, throwing me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and started walking back out of the room. Looking over, I notice Ash has received similar treatment. She's kicking and hitting the guard, shouting at him to put her down, but to no avail. The burly man ignores her, just grunting in annoyment as she turns and attempts to slap him. I wonder if I should be doing the same, but it seems all that it's really doing is tiring her out, so I decide against it. Best to save my energy for figuring out where the fuck we are.

As we get into a golden elevator down the hall from the room we woke up in, Ash finally stops struggling, resorting to glaring violently at anyone who dares to meet her gaze. I sigh at her expense, and settle with resting my hand on my chin, elbow propped up on the goon's back. All I see is my own reflection staring back, looking… well I looked like shit. Not gonna lie, it was pretty bad. My hair was fluffed up, with random bits sticking out. I'm still in my pj's - so is Ash - so you can imagine how great that is. I twist around, trying to see where we're going as we exit the elevator, but all I see is a fancy-ass lobby with large chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Where the hell are we?!

I'm quite literally jerked from my thoughts as I'm dumped on the sidewalk, my ass hitting cement. Standing up, I'm about to give those guards a piece of my mind, when Ash beats me to it. "Alright you mother fucker, get your ass over here!" she says, rolling up her sleeves. They just turn and start walking back inside. "HEY! GET BACK HERE YOU SONS OF BITCHES!"

I just settle for flipping them the finger. They ignore us completely, the door slamming behind them. "Well, dammit!" Ash says. I agree heartily, especially when I notice we don't have shoes on. "Shit," I mutter. "Now what?"

"Ash?" I ask when she doesn't respond. She just points silently behind me, staring in shock. I slowly turn around, and I find the name of the hotel we were just kicked out of. It's Le Grand Paris. My mouth drops open. "Hey, ladies!"

I freeze. No, no no no no no, this was not happening! I slowly turn around to find none other than Chat Noir perched atop a roof across from us. "So, despite how entertaining that was for me to watch," he says, smirking. "seeing as you're in your pj's, not to mention barefoot, I'm going to guess a helping paw."

"I-I uh, you're… you're Chat Noir!" I say stupidly.

"The one and only!" he responds, winking.

"B-but that's… that's impossible!" I mutter.

"Not really, I'm standing right here."

Stupid cat hearing. "Ash, get your ass over here we need to talk!" I whisper. I ignore Chat's ears twitching, and just tell him to give us a moment. We quickly walk a little bit away, ignoring the biting cold on our poor bare feet, and she whirls around to face me. "Alright, what the hell is happening?!" she says. "WE'RE IN THE SHO-" I quickly cover her mouth.

"Shut up! They don't know that!" I say frantically, gesturing to Chat and the citizens. "We need to be careful! We can't reveal to much! What if they take us into custody and question us? What if they think we're time travelers, or something weird and try to straight up DISSECT US?! WHAT IF WE GO TO AREA FIFTY-FUCKING-ONE?!"

Ash gives me an annoyed look, before saying "We're not going to Area Fifty-One. We're in Paris for god's sake, you idiot!"

"Oh, yeah…" I murmur, embarrassed.

"Alright… alright. Don't panic. Let's sort out what we know. So, last night we were at home, before we fell asleep watching the show. Then we wake up in Le Grand Paris, get kicked out, and meet Chat Noir," she says.

"Yeah, yeah. I know all of that already. What's your point?" I say, exasperated.

"My point is that since we know everything about this place, literally more than anyone else alive at the moment, we need to be careful. What if Hawkmoth finds out?" I pale at the idea. If he's willing to sacrifice his own son, lord knows what he'd do to us two girls.

"Alright, I get the point. But, we have to tell someone!" I say.

"What about Ladybug? She'd know what to do-"

I quickly end Ash's train of thought. "That's not a good idea. We'd end up revealing the identities of everyone to her, and knowing our luck, it's not going to go well. Hmm… maybe we go to MasterFu-"

I yelp in surprise as I suddenly find myself in the air, above Paris. Smelling leather, and a hint a camembert, it can only mean one thing. Alright, FUCK Chat's super hearing! "Chat, PUT ME DOWN!" I say, squeaking as we land on a roof.

"Alright, I don't know who you are, but you know Master Fu, and something about us. What's going on? Where are you from?!" Chat questions after setting me down.

"I-I-"

"Where?"

"I'm from the United States," I say, ignoring what he's obviously asking.

"You know what I mean."

I flinch at the steel in his voice, before sighing heavily. "Look. To put it lightly, I know who you, Ladybug, and Hawkmoth are. I know who Master Fu is. I know what kwami's and all that stuff is, hell I even know you're superhero group's identities," I blurt out, but seeing the shock on Chat's face I quickly add, "However, I have no clue what I'm doing here, or how I got here. Same thing with Ash, she's like me."

"Yo-you know who I am?" Chat asks, disbelieving.

"Yeah, yeah. You're Adrie-" I squeak as he puts a hand on my mouth, effectively shutting me up.

"Quiet! We don't want all of Paris knowing!" he hisses out. "Ok… ok… stay right here. I'm going to get your friend, and then we're going to talk."

"WHERE WOULD I GO?!" I shout at Chat as he leaps off the roof. Huffing impatiently, I start pacing, anxious to see the one person I know here. My head jerks up as I can hear Ash shouting "What the hell?!" as she's dumped next to me on the roof. I snicker, and she flips me off. "Nice to see you, too," I say with a smirk. She flips me off again.

"Alright, now that I have you both here… what's going on?"

Ash and I look at eachother, before turning back to Chat. This'll take one hell of an explanation.
