(This story is based after Volpina so Marinette is more comfortable around Adrien)

The Bell rang loud and clear breaking Tikki's thoughts. It was Wednesday at about noon and the day she catches up with Plagg. She had noticed some strange behaviour between her holder's best friends Alya and Nino. They had been gazing at each other a lot more and giving excuses to be alone. It started after the Animan attack. It was so obvious and they had practically told Marinette they were dating but Marinette was too oblivious to catch the hint unlike Tikki. She and Plagg had been talking about it for weeks but she still needed it confirmed.

"Hey guys do you want to catch lunch at my house?" Tikki heard Marinette ask knowing all too well they would all say yes because everyone loves the Dupain-Chang Bakery.
She heard answers like "Dude yes!" Nino.
"Of course" Alya and
"that would be great thanks, I'll just text Gorilla" Adrien.

The four teenagers hurried down the foot path eager to get there for some of Marinette's famous cheese sandwiches followed by one of Tom's beautiful cupcakes. Tikki however had a different reason for wanting to get there. She had to talk to some certain people. She remembers the day this all began. It had been only a few weeks but it felt like a life time. She and Plagg now knew Alya and Nino, but not just from a distance for the pair also knew them.

"Plagg you can't keep doing this. One of these day you'll get spotted!" Tikki screamed at Plagg who was messing around and eating cheese. Two sets of footsteps were coming down the stairs but sadly they were not heard until it was too late.
"Don't worry they don't suspect a thing you know how oblivious they can be. Besides they…..
What the heck is that?" the last part finally got the Kawmi's attention.
"It's a, a, ahhhhh mhfffff." Both Alya and Nino's mouths were covered by small hands.
"Shhhhh you must not tell the other two, they can't know you've seen us." The two teens nodded and the kawmi's removed their hands.

After a time of silent freaking out, mainly just staring. Alya finally asked "what are you?"
"We are things called kawmis. We are what give Ladybug and Chat Noir their powers." Tikki explained.
"How?" Nino questioned
"Through their miraculous, little pieces of magical jewellery. In this case a pair of earrings and a ring."
"And what does this have to do with our friends?" Alya was confused.
Plagg finally spoke being his normal self. "Think about it, who do you know that never take off their jewellery?"
"No, but they can't be, I mean they're so different." Alya said remembering how clumsy and shy her best friend was totally the opposite of the agile and confident Ladybug.
"But you can't tell them, they don't even know about each other. Are we agreed." Both of them nodded at Tikki.

She didn't regret that day, not one bit. Actually she was rather glad of it. Now she and Plagg just had to get the two aside to talk to them. But that was easy, Alya was really good at coming up with excuses. She often covered for Marinette and Adrien when they had to go and fight although the superheroes didn't know this fact. All Tikki had to do was slip her a note that said 'need to talk' and she would find some way.

The door chimed and the teenagers walked through the door. "Hello, Mamma, Papa? Are you home?" Marinette called. "I have just brought my friends home for lunch I hope that's okay."
"Oh yes that's fine honey, there is some bread and things in the kitchen. Help yourself, we're a bit busy." Sabine (Marinette's mother) called from the kitchen.

Everyone walked up the stairs and into the dining area/ kitchen and sat down. "So what do you feel like eating." Marinette asked her friends when everyone was seated. Marinette was next to Alya who was across from Nino, next to Adrien. While Marinette was distracted by thinking of what to cook for lunch Alya felt a tugging at her sleeve and a note put into her hand. She read the mysterious note. Realizing it was from Tikki. It read. 'Need to talk, already told Plagg. You need to get away from Adrien and Mari with Nino.'

"Alya what do you think we should have?" Alya looked up from her note so as not to draw suspicion and answered Marinette.
"I think we should have your famous toasted cheese sandwiches." Everyone agreed with her and when she and Adrien weren't looking she handed the note to Nino who after skimming the note, knowing full well what it was about, nodded towards her and then Marinette's bedroom door.

"Marinette do you think you could start the sandwiches now, oh and Adrien could you help her. I have to go to the bathroom." Alya said before grabbing Nino by the arm and dragging him up towards the trap door above them.
"Uh okay, sure, Marinette what do I need to do?" Adrien asked slightly stunned.
"D…Don't worry about it. She does this all the time. So do you think we have enough information yet? Can we come up with a plan?"
"Yes I think it is time. We need to help them because they can't help themselves."
"I agree, but we can't do it now. I don't know how long they will be gone for. C…Come back here after school so we can talk and construct a plan." Marinette finished the conversation and the pair began to make lunch.
