"What are you doing, Princess?" Adrien asked as he came up to the little girl's side. He bent down to look at her, wrinkling his brow in confusion. Marinette was stooped over a spider web with a stick.
"I'm freeing this ladybug…" Marinette whispered. She moved to expose the beetle, who was squirming and wriggling in the web. "She got stuck 'nd I had to scare away the big, mean spider…" Marinette removed the web with the stick and carefully settled the bug on her index finger, holding it up to Adrien's face. "Isn't she cute?" Marinette asked, voice now at normal volume.
Adrien nodded, a grin on his face. "Wonderful princess, saving your subject like that!" Marinette giggled and got to her feet, resting the bug on the end of one of her twintails. "What's her name?" Adrien asked, picking up the kitten at his feet.
"Hmmm…" Marinette rubbed her chin thoughtfully, "Tikki!" she decided, nodding gently so as not to scare Tikki away. "Tikki and Plagg!" she said with a snicker.
Adrien held out Plagg to Marinette's hair, allowing the kitten to meet the beetle. Plagg swatted at it, so Adrien had to pull back the kitten, resting it on his shoulders. "Are you gonna keep her?" he asked.
Marinette nodded, "I have a ladybug farm at my house, 'nd she can be the queen of the farm!"
Adrien knew that Tikki would be the absolute happiest ladybug ever! Obviously any ladybug that Marinette took care of would live in the lap of luxury!
"She'll live off'a cookies!" Marinette giggled, "Like me!"
Ah, so she'd be just as sweet of a ladybug as Marinette! Wait -
"But, ladybugs eat tinier bugs?" Adrien questioned.
"Not Tikki!"
And here's the Tikki version!
