Once Marinette transformed, she gained the time travel powers of the rabbit miraculous. She examined her new outfit, a blue and white suit similar to what she had for Ladybug, but it also had a fluffy white cotton ball tail and two floppy white ears to show off the rabbit aspect of the kwami.
"Wow, this is a lot different from Ladybug's suit! There's so much more detail and these bunny ears are really cute!" She giggled as she rubbed the fluffy white ears that appeared atop her head. "I don't know what I should call myself though...not that it really matters…" She trailed off. "How does Lapinette sound Tikki?" Marinette paused to wait for Tikki's response before remembering she'd taken out her earrings already. "Oh...right."
She took the watch from her suit's pocked and pushed the button on the top to open the portal to the burrow. She took a deep breath and stepped through the portal.
Once through, Lapinette was overwhelmed with options. There were at least a hundred different portals to various timelines showing different events. She walked forward to the portal directly in front of he and swiped her hand over it to the left. Suddenly she was startled by a pain developing in her forehead. Lapinette winced in pain, then continued scrolling through time. She came upon herself in her civilian form, but she didn't look much older than she was now, if at all.
Lapinette went through many timelines until she came across one that looked accurate to what she'd experienced so far. She looked forward in time, many years in the future until she found her civilian self again. This time future Marinette was an obviously much older iteration of herself. She swiped her hand to search for a time when she was alone. Lapinette didn't recognize where future her was, but she was alone in the room and now was her chance.
Lapinette took a step forward toward the portal, but was briefly stopped by the growing pain in her head. She tried to massage her temples, knowing it wasn't going to help, but trying anyway.
Once through the portal a startled future Marinette greeted her. "Oh! Marinette, hello. Was this today? It's been so long I'd forgotten." She explained with a gentle smile.
Lapinette brought a finger to her lips. "Shhh, my name isn't Marinette, it's Lapinette." She corrected her future self with a wink.
"Mari? Are you okay in there?"
They could hear someone from the other side of the door. The voice sounded familiar to Lapinette, it was someone she knew well, but she just couldn't place the voice.
"Just a second!" Future Marinette called to the voice beyond the door. "Hang on Ma- Lapinette, I'll be right back." She told her then vanished on the other side for the door.
Lapinette could hear the two muffled voices on the other side of the door, but she couldn't quite make out what they were saying.
Suddenly she was hit with another throbbing pain in her head. Her migraine was getting worse, she'd have to wrap this up quickly so she could deal with this at home.
"Sorry about that!" Future Marinette said as she came back through the door. "Anyway, I suppose you're here to ask about Hawk Moth?"
Lapinette nodded, "I was hoping you could tell me who he is and how I can defeat him."
Future Marinette sighed audibly, a look of concern spread across her face. "I'm not going to tell you who he is, I'll leave that for you to figure out, but I can tell you where and when you'll find him."
Lapinette grinned, "Perfect."
Future Marinette wagged her finger. "Not so fast! I'm not sure you should do this alone, it's not going to be easy and you could really use the help. Trust me."
Lapinette sighed and massaged her temples. 'Please just tell me when and where.' She thought. She didn't know how much more of this migraine she could handle. "I'll be fine, nothing is easy anyway."
Future Marinette shook her head. She knew there was no way she could change her mind, she'd once been in this exact same position after all. "At the Eiffel Tower a week after Alya's birthday party. They're going to plan a large scale attack. If you can get there before them you should be able to catch both of them off guard and unprepared."
Lapinette shut her eyes tightly as she rubbed her forehead.
"Are you okay?" Future Marinette asked, but Lapinette didn't hear her.
"Thanks." Lapinette thanked her and pressed the button on the pocket watch, stepping back through the portal and into the burrow.
Once in the burrow she collapsed under the pain of her migraine. She'd never had one this bad before. She wasn't sure if she would be able to find her own timeline before the migraine left her immobile, she was going to have to endure the pain and make it back quickly.
I initially wasn't going to give rabbit miraculous Marinette a name, but it would have gotten too confusing, so we get Lapinette! Lapin is French for rabbit and really fits well will Marinette's name so I just had to use it! What do you think of her new hero name?
