Hey guys! Sooooo I know it's been a while (Some of you have been reviewing for me to update and don't worry, I hear you!) and you all probably think I'm dead, but here's another chapter! Sorry it's been a while, I completely forgot about this story until today, when I wrote this chapter. I was inspired by the Ten Duel Commandments from Hamilton for this one-shot, and I apologize as some of the lyrics are very similar, but enjoy!

ALSO IMPORTANT NOTICE: This fanfiction can be read without knowing a thing about Hamilton: An American Musical, so please don't be scared off by the songfic part of i

Disclaimer: I don't own Hamilton: An American Musical or Miraculous Ladybug: The Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir

"One, two, three, four

Five, six, seven, eight, nine…"

Adrien read the numbers aloud from a small booklet that his kwami had given him. "Plagg? What is this?"

"It's the the ten rules of the Miraculous!" Plagg grinned lazily, turning a loop in the air before floating over to hover in front of the boy's face.

"The what?"

"It's the the ten rules of the Miraculous!"

"You are not helping." The teen grumbled, rolling his eyes at his bothersome friend as he turned the page. "Number one." He read aloud, frowning at the loopy handwriting. "The agenda: to have no attraction. Don't tell your idenitity, it causes negative actions."

Seriously, what was this? For one, it was stuff he already knew! He'd gotten major lectures on not sharing his identity with others from Plagg when he'd received his ring. Besides, it's not like he wantedanyone (except Ladybug) to know that he was Chat Noir. And two, where did his kwami even get this book from? He looked up at the little black cat in front of him with pleading jade eyes, but was only met with a raised eyebrow that clearly said, "Keep reading."

"Number two!" Adrien exclaimed, rather sarcastically, "If you do, grab a friend, that's your second. Your lieutenant when there's reckoning to be reckoned. Number three, now it's time to meet face to face. Negotiate a meeting place, just be sure to keep pace. This is commonplace, especially between heroes. Most of them don't die so don't worry, you'll be alright." Next to this one there was a little illustration of two miraculous holders standing facing each other, shaking hands. He assumed this was to refer to meeting your partner for the first time. Which just brought up another question. Why was Plagg giving him this book now? It would have made much more sense to give it to Adrien when he first got his ring. With a heavy sigh, knowing that Plagg would force him to read either way, he continued on. {I'll end the story with Plagg explaining to Adrien that he and Ladybug are getting a new hero partner - Queen Bee - and that it's up to Adrien to give this booklet to her, courtesy of Master Fu.}

"Number four. when you reach your place, get your sights. It's time to make some plans but don't stay up all night. You make them in advance, find time to meet up. You have to make sure you can mange to keep up." The golden boy read, glancing up at his ever persistent kwami again - who was now chomping down on a piece of gooey camembert, probably having raided Adrien's mini fridge.

"Five. Take off before the sun is in the sky. Track your villain down, don't be afraid to be sly?" The boy looked up again, frowning. "Plagg, we aren't going to take down Hawkmoth soon, are we? I don't know if we're ready. We don't even know where he is!"

Plagg rolled his eyes, which were shimmering with an underlying note of mischievousness, before telling Adrien to just keep reading.

"Number six, leave a note for your next of kin. Tell them where you've been. Make sure that you've confessed your sins."

This line practically gave Adrien shivers down his spine, as he realized it was referring to writing a note to your loved ones before you take down a villain- a note that might be the last time they ever hear from you. He gave Plagg a wary look, but knew better than to argue with the little kwami. Especially when the cat-like creature was munching on his favorite snack.

"Seven. No matter who wins, get ready for the moment of adrenaline when you finally face your opponent. Number eight, your last chance to negotiate. Talk with your opponent, try to set the record straight." Adrien read, glancing at the full page illustration next to this segment that had a miraculous holder team facing off against a villain. They appeared to be talking, not fighting, though the villain seemed displeased. As Adrien flipped the page, skeptical, he came across what seemed like a sample conversation, starting with the hero in the lead talking.

"Krypton."

"Faucon Brun, sir."

"Can we agree that duels are dumb and immature?"

"Sure, but your team has to answer for their words, sir."

"With our lives? We both know that's absurd, for sure. Hang on, how many townsfolk died because you were delirious and ruinous?"

"Okay, so we're doing this."

Adrien looked at Plagg again, who was now curled up on Adrien's shoulder and almost done with the hunk of camembert in his hands. it was special PDO camembert that was imported all the way from Camembert, France just for Plagg. He sighed, glancing at the book's pages as his mind filled with a million questions just about this page. He knew it would be useless to talk to Plagg though, at least until he was done, so Adrien kept on reading.

"Number nine. Look them in the eye, aim no higher. Summon all the courage you require. Then count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine-" The book cut off there, jumping to another line on the following page.

"Number ten [paces], fire!"

Adrien's spring green eyes widened, glancing at his content kwami. This all sounded too terrifying to go out and do now, to face Hawkmoth with the idea of death riding in his mind. "Plagg... would you care to tell me what this is all about already?" he questioned, his head spinning with questions and thoughts.

Plagg floated over to face Adrien's face again and raised an eyebrow. Then, as if reading his mind, the little creature said, "Oh don't panic, you're not facing any villains for some time to come. The reason I had you even read through all of that was because Master Fu - remember the Great Guardian? - chose you to welcome your new partner, and to help her get accustomed to the lifestyle of a superhero."

"WHAT?! Seriously? Someone's joining Ladybug and me? Why? We're doing perfectly fine on our own, you know! We don't need some new hero joining our partnership! She'll ruin everything, I bet! Who is this person anyways? Why would Master Fu just choose someone without asking us?" Adrien burst, eyes flashing as a frown overtook his features.

As his companion ranted, Plagg watched, knowing it would be better to let him blow off some steam before he explained. "Anything else?" He asked, a minute or so after Adrien sat back down again.

The boy looked up in a sheepish manner, shaking his head.

"Finally! You were being seriously melodramatic." Plagg yawned, stretching in the air. "The Great Guardian has his own reasons for this addition." Plagg promised, giving Adrien a pointed look. "I'm sure that Ladybug and you are perfectly capable of handling everything yourselves, but think of how much this person could help. You're always so tired and overworked, maybe she'll help carry the load." At those words, Adrien sighed and nodded. It would be nice to have more sleep, after all. He was practically one more pair of dark circles away from giving his makeup artist a heart attack. Plagg continued, now smirking. "Okay, well that took long enough. Now all the information I have about the new girl is that her miraculous is the honeybee hair comb, and that she was chosen under special circumstances." The little kwami admits, frowning.

Adrien's eyes light up as Plagg finishes, "So I guess that makes her the new bee!"
