"Alya, you did awesome today! Especially for only having only used the Miraculous twice before!" Trixx praised her holder as soon as she was released from the miraculous.
"Thanks, I never thought I would even wear the miraculous again, let alone with the superheroes of Paris off on some adventure," remarked Alya, flopping down on her bed out of exhaustion. "Is there anything you want to eat? Ladybug told me kwami need to regain their energy before you could transform us again."
"Anything meat related, I am a fox after all," the kwami responded, flying around Alya's room.
"I think we have some beef jerky in the kitchen. I'll go get some from you," Alya said. She left her room and made her way to the kitchen, only to be swarmed by her younger sisters, Ella and Etta.
"Where have you been!?" "We saw you leave earlier, but you never came back in!" "Did the akuma get you?" "Did you have fun with Nino?" Her sisters bombarded her with questions before she had even stepped foot into the main room.
"Woah little ones, calm down, calm down! I was at the fight yes, as I got, uh, captured! Captured by the akuma as bait. When the battle was over, Rena Rouge, the fox hero, took me home." Alya said in an attempt to cover her tracks. "That's why you didn't see me come through the apartment door!"
"You really saw the new superheroes?" "Did you get any video?" the twins asked, jumping up and down in delight. After hearing Etta say 'video,' a lightbulb went off in her head.
"Actually, I got Rena Rouge to stop by later for an interview. We obviously can't be disturbed during it, so I need you two to stay in your room after dinner, okay? If you promise me, I'll give you each an extra scoop of ice cream for dessert!" the brunette said, a plan already forming in her head.
"We promise!" Ella and Etta said in unison. Alya put in some leftovers from last night's dinner in the microwave and set the table for her and her twin sisters. The three ate dinner relatively quickly, and Alya hurried back into her room. She quickly began rearranging her room, pulling up a green screen from her floor that no one even knew was there. She ran back into the kitchen, stole two chairs, and was back in her room before her sisters even knew what had happened.
"How do you plan to interview yourself Alya? You can't be in two places at once," Trixx asked as soon as Alya made it back in the room.
"I'll just transform and make an illusion of myself. That way I can be in two places at once, and I don't have to do any fancy video editing," remarked Alya.
"Alya, you aren't allowed to use your miraculous for selfish purposes, look what happened to Hawkmoth!" Trixx protested.
"Well, technically, by doing this, I'm throwing any people out to unmask superheroes, like Hawkmoth, off my trail, because if Rena Rouge is the only new hero who hasn't received an Alya exclusive interview, they'll get suspicious!" responded the brunette. Trixx looked at Alya, then at the camera, back at the girl, and she smiled.
"Well, I guess you could. I've never liked all of the guardian's rules anyway. We wouldn't want your identity to be discovered, like that Queen Bee girl, but from what I was told, I don't really blame her," Trixx said, smiling.
"Wait, Queen Bee is still Chloe? How come I didn't recognize her today? Now that I think about it, she didn't even try to change her costume," questioned the reporter.
"Crap, I thought you knew about that. The guardian put a spell on the miraculous that reinstituted the glamour, what prevents everyone, including you, to know who any miraculous holder is. It does end up making humours reveals, many holders barley look different transformed! Don't go trying to fit together pieces though, you will never see it because of the glamour, and if I did know their identities, which I don't, I couldn't even tell you." explained Alya's kwami.
"Enough chit-chat, I need to save it for the camera. I'll be playing two roles tonight anyway, and I also need to catch up on some rest, so hopefully I can get this done soon," said Alya. "Trixx! Let's pounce!"
A bright orange yellow light exploded from the miraculous around her neck, beginning her transformation. The skin tight fabric covered her arms and legs, as it replaced her normal clothing. Her glasses gave way for her mask, which fixed her eyesight, and she summoned her tail, ears, and flute. The light faded away and Rena Rouge stood in the middle of the room.
"Now, time to get started," the fox themed superhero said. She reached for her flute, and before playing, called out, "Mirage!" Magical notes left the end of her instrument, swirling around, forming, until a carbon copy of the girl who just transformed moments ago, stood staring right back at her.
"This is unsettling," both said at the same time. Rena sat down on one of the chairs she had previously set up, and made the illusion do the same. Rena pressed the button on a concealed remote she had, and the cameras started rolling.
"Heyyy Ladybloggers! I'm your host, Alya Cesaire, and today, we are joined by one of Paris's newest heros, Rena Rouge!" the fox hero made her clone say. Through her own body, she responded, "Hi!"
Rena asked herself questions she knew the citizens of Paris, such as the locations of the main heroes, if the current team would be addons, and explaining away the Chloe being Queen Bee situation. Taking pauses every seven minutes to recharge her miraculous, as Trixx hadn't been exerted prior to the interview so the transformation held for longer, she managed to record about an half hour of footage, with about 20 minutes of usable content to work with. After another sleepless night of editing, at least with Trixx to keep her company, Alya settled into bed. She found herself awake two hours later, so she decided to post her interview with, well herself on the Ladyblog. With a few clicks of her mouse, the interview was on the front page. She decided that she would have to get footage next fight, even without herself present. She would have to see Max and Markov and see if they would build a camera drone like Nadja Chamack had. But for now, it was time for Alya to get some sleep.
A/N: Haven't put one of these here in a while. Sorry for the massive delays between uploads, I've been short on time. Enjoy!
