So I'm going to be trying something a little different this chapter. This chapter is going to be very dialogue heavy. Like, mostly talking. I'll try not to make it too info-dumpy. Sorry.

Also, I am just going to apologize now for how one of the characters is going to act. I've been seeing a lot of Undertale recently, and they, apparently, reminded me a lot of Mettaton... with a little bit of Papyrus mixed in for good measure.

I.O.N.

Enjoy!


Alix's eyes were just beginning to adjust to the light of the sun when a shadow fell across her face and completely blocked the sun. At that moment she was still pretty out of it, so the first thing that ran across her mind was a mild annoyance, instead of fear at the sudden appearance of a mysterious figure. "Who are you?"

"I! Am the most fabulous member of the Miraculous fleet! Duusuu!" The woman was lavishly dressed in various shades of blue and red. But her clothes did have the unmistakable look of peafowl. That didn't make her story any more believable though.

"Uh-huh. And I'm a time traveler from the distant future here to warn everyone of their eminent deaths!"

"No need to be ridiculous, Alix." And suddenly, this strange woman being some kind of human boat thing didn't seem so far fetched.

"H-how did you know my name?!"

"I told you, I am one-seventh of the miraculous fleet! It's important that I know about what kind of captain I'll have."

"But that's impossible! You're all boats!"

"Alix, you and I both know this isn't even in the top ten weirdest things you've been a part of."

"... I will not dignify that with a response."

Which seemed to satisfy Duusuu, as she completely ignored that little branch off of their conversation, "So, now that we have that little dispute settled. Any questions?"

Taking a deep breath, Alix fired off all the questions she could think of off the top of her head, "Where am I? How are you a human and not a boat? Where are my friends? Are all of the miraculous fleet human/boat magical whatevers? How do you know so much about me? Are all boats able to change into humans? And can you help me sit up?"

Duusuu actually took half a step back in surprise. "...You're... inquisitive all of a sudden."

"Hey, you asked."

With a small sigh, the elegantly dressed woman sat next to her collapsed captain. And began answering her questions.

"I mean technically, you, and by extension, the others, are on this beach where time doesn't work quite the same way, looking like you just fought the grim reaper. And then got your hair dunked into a can of pink."

"Haha. Think of that yourself, did you?"

"As a matter of fact, I did."

"I am going to have to teach you sarcasm." Alix muttered to herself.

"As for the others, they're probably somewhere along the beach here, having a similar conversation."

"So that's a yes on the other ships being like... whatever the hell it is you are?"

"Well, there's no need to be rude. Honestly, if I knew you were going to be mean I wouldn't have shown up."

"Says the magic boat turned human to the half-drowned pirate, as they refuse to help me sit up."

"Oo. You're feisty. I like it!"

"If you like it, then you should help me up!"

"But you're so adorable like this!"

Alix groaned in exasperation while Duusuu laughed. Once she stopped the two fell into a comfortable silence. Finally, Alix broke the silence.

"So your Duusuu?"

"And you are my teeny tiny little captain!"

"...Don't call me that." Though she said she didn't like it, Duusuu could see the faint blush on the girl's pale cheeks.

"But you're so cute!"

"If I could sit up on my own, I would strangle you."

"I love you too!"

Their laughter rang out over the beach.

Meanwhile, Marinette was having a very different conversation with Tikki.


So I wrote this at like midnight. And I mostly wrote the dialogue first and added everything thing else after.

But I honestly enjoyed the way it came out so oh well!

Comment what you thought!

Hope you enjoyed!

See ya next time!
