writer's block sucks!
Time to meet Nicky! I'm so glad y'all liked Liz in the last chapter, but now it's time to meet her partner. sorry the first two chapters are so short, i promise every chapter from now on will be longer. it's just, i wanted to introduce Liz and Nick separately so y'all can get a good feeling for what kind of people they are.
and yes, I will be explaining the backstory about Plagg and Tikki's previous holders. this is not really a spoiler, but the previous cat and bug did not end up together, but they were close, but not related... not by blood anyway.
as always, leave me feedback on what y'all think and enjoy.

Ch, 2. It's a boy
Tikki blinked as she looked over her latest chosen. She knew this was coming, but it was still a bit odd. All of her holders before were girls, this one… this one was a boy. But, this was the wish of a dead man who cared deeply about people and wanted the best for his daughter and this boy. So, she didn't complain. Although, she felt a little bad for Plagg. Her previous chosen was still alive while his last kitten and the man's wife were both gone. She mentally sighed, but kept her smile as she waited for Nicolas to speak. She honestly hadn't seen him since he was a toddler.
The boy had deep forest green eyes like his mother, light brown hair that came to his shoulders more reminiscent of his father and part was pulled back in a tiny ponytail so none would get in his eyes, clear tan skin, and a muscular build. He wore a white polo shirt and navy uniform pants. White socks were the only things covering his feet.
He looked her over with wide eyes holding a golf club. "What are you?"
She almost snickered. He was just like his mother. She calmed herself before she spoke. "Nicolas please calm down. I'm not going to hurt you. My name is Tikki and I'm here to give you powers."
He raised an eyebrow. "Are you some kind of talking radioactive red squirrel?" He held the golf club higher. "I read comic books, you will not bite me!"
She sighed and rolled her eyes. "I'm a Kwami, a magical creature… I'm not a squirrel, I'm more like a ladybug." She gave him a warm smile. "There's no need to fear me Nicolas. I've known you since you were in your mom's tummy."
He kept his guard up as he picked up the small box he dropped. He looked it over again and found a pair of black earrings.
"Put them on." Tikki continued to smile.
"No." He looked up at her.
"They've been cleaned." She noticed his pierced ears, but no earrings already in.
"That's not the point. I don't trust you. So, I'm not going to do what you say." He closed the box and crossed his arms.
She sighed. "Your first word was 'baby'. You said it when you felt a baby kick from the inside of your neighbor Kim Valentine's belly and you weren't even a year old yet. That baby was her youngest daughter Elizabeth. Kim and her husband Brian died shortly after Elizabeth's 2nd birthday." She took a deep breath. "You were three last time I saw you. You've grown up so much." She gave him a warm motherly smile.
He shrugged and relented as he put the earrings in his ears. He knew she must have been telling the truth. Only a small handful of people knew his first word, and two of those people took it to their grave. Besides, if she wanted to hurt him, she would have already done so. "So, you were saying something about powers?"
Her eyes twinkled. "Yours is the power of creation. It's called Lucky Charm and you can only use it once a transformation after that you have five minutes before you change back. But you also must capture and purify the akuma."
"Transformation? Akuma?" He raised a confused eyebrow.
"Say Spots On." She nodded.
"Spots on?" Before he could say anything else, a red rush of energy overcame him.
A red mask with black spots covered his eyes, his polo was replaced with a red with black spots material. It was long sleeved and form fitting. The material ended at the knuckles of his hands, leaving the ends of his fingers exposed. The fabric was black around his neck. His uniform pants changed into cargo pants with three outside pockets on each side plus the two inside pockets. His socks were replaced by red tennis shoes without laces so he wouldn't have to worry about them coming undone and have to retie them. To complete the look, a red ribbon held his tiny ponytail and flared out just a bit.
He sighed as he looked himself over in the mirror. "Ok Tikki, jokes over. Where are my clothes?" he looked around the room, but couldn't find her. "Tikki?" He shrugged.
"Nicky!" A little girl's voice called from below his floor. "Is that you?"
"Don't come in Katie!" He looked around and began to panic. "I'm naked!" He rushed to the door that lead to a balcony at the front of the house. "Great, I just lied to my little sister." He spoke to himself as he pulled a yo-yo out of the right inside pocket of his pants. "And what am I supposed to do with this?" He spun it up and down a moment until he tossed it off the balcony, still holding the string. It wrapped around a nearby tree and sent him flying. It wasn't long before he landed on something… well, someone. He looked down at her and they met eyes. He blushed as he gazed down at her. Deep mysterious blue covered by a black mask. He quickly scrambled to his feet and helped her up. "Sorry about that."
"It's ok." She gave him a warm smile. "So, I take it you're my partner my Kwami was talking about?"
"Uh… yeah. I'm… I'm Lordbug, what's your name?" He blushed even more as he got a better look at her.
Her smile faded. "Kitten Noir, but you can call me Kitty."
