Oh look! A chapter on time! XD it all came at once, the next one probably will too, so keep your eyes open!

"Alya!" I yelled and ran back into my room. "Are you okay?" But all I could see was Rose and Juleka leaning on the bathroom door, confused. Alya must be inside.

"Are you okay?" I repeated. No reply. "What happened?"

Rose and Juleka were banging on the door, calling her name.

"Is she okay? Do you need me to knock the door open?" Adrien hesitantly came in.

Finally, some noise came from the inside of the bathroom. "I...um.." Alya began quietly. "I'm fine!"

"What happened?" I asked again.

There was a long pause. "Marinette?" She called with a tone I have never heard her use before.

"Yes?" She hesitated again.

"I need to talk to you. But nobody else come in." She finally replied.

"What's going on?" Alya whispered as soon as the door closed. She was still wearing my clothes.

"What do you mean Alya?" Her facial expression was almost unreadable, a mix of excitement, confusion and shock.

"You're the only one I know I can talk to." She explained, and I saw a little orange blur fly towards me.

"Is that a..." I whispered, frozen.

"My name is Trixx!" The kwami greeted me.

"One minute." I put my finger to my mouth, and turned to the door. I waved my hand to tell Trixx to hide, as I open the door. Rose, Juleka and Adrien fall onto the floor in front of me.

"GO AWAY, THIS IS IMPORTANT!" I shouted sternly, and they scatter. I catch Adrien by the collar. "Not you. Get in here."

"Why Adrien?" Her eyes widened with realization. "Is he Chat Noir?!" She gasped.

"Shhhh! Not right now he isn't."

"What do you mean?" Oh, how hard this would be to explain.

"Tell us what happened, and we'll explain." Adrien proposed.

"Fine. I picked up some of your clothes to try on and came in here to change. I saw this." She gestured to the pendant hanging around her neck, I hadn't even realized it. It looked just like the necklace Lila had had made.

"The fox Miraculous?" Adrien and I gasped in unison.

"Wait." Adrien interrupts. "Didn't you say this was in Marinette's bag?" She nods. "Why do you have the fox miraculous?" I looked back blankly and shrug.

"Perhaps I could explain." Trixx chimed in. "Master Fu thought you might need some backup. He gave you the bee and fox miraculouses for emergencies. This is Alya, right?" I nodded. "She is perfect for the job."

"Wait, wait, wait!" Adrien interrupted. "Who is Master Fu? And if this is right, where's the bee miraculous? And I thought my father said our friends wouldn't get involved. Someone explain something!" He desperately looked at me.

"I think I'm owed some explanation, actually..." Alya argued.

"Okay guys... so I guess I need to explain to both of you..." I explained to Alya that Gabriel was Hawk Moth, that he had the miraculouses and that we were only in Tibet to get Aurelie back. I also mentioned that Adrien and I had the peacock and butterfly miraculouses, and Duusu and Nooroo showed themselves, greeting Trixx. I told Adrien that I'd recently been in contact with Master Fu, the guardian of the miraculouses. I guessed Alya would be joining us. I just hoped she wouldn't be in danger, but I knew she was brave and basically born to be a superhero.

After they soaked in the information, I mentioned one last thing. "The one thing I don't know is... Where is the bee miraculous?"

I opened the door, according to everything I knew, it would be in my suitcase, or in the pile of clothes on the floor.

What I saw nearly made my heart stop.

Rose and Juleka were stood looking aggressively at Chloe, who must have forced her way into the room, Sabrina at her heels as always.

"Leave it alone, Chloe, that's Marinette's!" Rose pleaded. They each had a hand on something small and yellow.

"Oh come on, she isn't rich enough to have something as pretty as this!" She succeeded in grabbing the object from Rose, and looked at it closely.

"That has to be it!" Adrien whispered. "C'mon Chloe, give it back!"

"Oh Adrien, you're the one who left me. For her. Don't pretend anymore." She spat, then turned back to the miraculous, which seemed to be a hairpin.

"Everyone get out!" I shouted. Nobody followed my command this time, just fell still and stared at me blankly. It was the best thing I could do, if Chloe put the pin in her hair, the bee kwami would show up, and I couldn't risk it.

"Fine!" Chloe tossed the miraculous in the air in my direction, and I desperately grabbed for it, almost tripping. "You can have it back. I don't even want it, if it's yours it's probably fake anyway." She whispered something to Sabrina, who giggled, then she threw it in the air. Rose dove forward and caught it before it hit the ground.

"We gotta watch her."

I nod and Rose passes the golden hairpin to me. "Thanks."

"What's so important about it?" Her eyes are curious, as are Juleka's. Alya, Adrien and I exchange glances.

"It's a gift. Um, from my grandmother."
