Tikki appeared in a red ball of light. It faded and she looked around. She was back in the land of the kwamis. She sighed and frowned.

"I always miss whoever is Ladybug after it is all over," she said to herself. "We had good times together. It`s hard to think about the fact I may never see her again."

Tikki noticed a green ball of light. There was Plagg. His miraculous holder had removed the ring a few moments before.

"I`m going to miss this Chat Noir," he said after stretching. "He knew where to get the best Camembert."

Tikki laughed. "All you think about is cheese, Plagg."

"I know," he said. "But I am going to miss him for more than just the cheese."

Trixx flew over to the kwamis. "Back so soon?"

"It`s been quite a while, actually," said Tikki.

"It seems like it has only been a few weeks," Trixx replied, "but then, time passes differently in the human world."


It had been a few days, and Tikki was thinking about her Ladybug. It was sometimes really hard to be a kwami, especially at times like this. It was the same thing over and over. Someone would activate the ladybug earrings and Tikki would appear. She would get to know the person and grow close. Then, after a few years usually, the superheroes wouldn`t need to be around anymore. The Ladybug of that time would give the miraculous back to the guardians, and Tikki would usually never see her again.

The land of the kwamis was a good place, Tikki couldn`t deny that. It had a lot of space and it was beautiful, with blue skies and all. But humans could not enter the land of the kwamis. It sometimes got lonely there. And time passed differently there than in the human world. Sometimes, just one day in the human world could be a hundred years in the land of the kwamis. Other times, five years would pass in the human world, but it would only be a few weeks in the land of the kwamis.

Nooroo flew over to Tikki. "Thinking about Ladybug again?"

Tikki nodded. "It`s sometimes hard to be a kwami. You meet someone and then after a while, you just come back here and never see them again."

"Yes," said Nooroo, "but you and Plagg are the luckiest ones. Your miraculouses are the most powerful, and the most used. You and Plagg get to meet so many more people than I and the other kwamis do."

Tikki sighed. "I suppose that is true," she said. "But it still isn`t easy."
