A/N: I am SO SORRY this took so long! I'm having trouble with coming up with ideas. Suggestions please? Akumas, plot points, ships, anything helps!
(ToxicUser109, I get it. It's ok. The idea of kwami/human romance just really threw me.)

"Oh! Hi, Sabrina!" Lila waves cheerily, as if she hasn't just tried to steal my identity.
I want to scream at her, or even just turn and walk away, but before, I believed her. I have to pretend I still do.
"Hi, Lila! You're Coccinelle? But I thought superheroes couldn't tell anyone their identity?"
"Of course I had to lie on camera," Lila deflects. "But I wouldn't lie to my friends!"
I smile and nod. "You're so honest, Lila!"
I've got to give the girl credit, she doesn't even flinch.
Chloe shoots me a dark look. She's never believed Lila. I thought it was just jealousy, the same reason I thought Marinette didn't like Lila.
Pffft.

"Plagg?"
"Mm?"
"Does Ladybug go to my school? I mean, there are plenty of creative girls here, like Myléne, Juleka, Rose, Marinette, Alya…"
Plagg glances at me, popping a huge chunk of camembert in his mouth. How does he do that? It's bigger than his head.
"Kwami magic," says Plagg. Oops. I said that out loud.
"Yes, yes you did." Plagg snickers. "Ladybug does go to your school…"
I grin. That narrows it down!
"...unless she doesn't."
"PLA-" Oh. Right. In school. I lower my voice. "Plagg," I hiss, "there will be consequences."
Plagg licks his whiskers. "Yummy camembert."
"No camembert. For a month!"
How the black cat kwami can turn white I'm not sure. "A-Adrien. Let's not forget you need me to transform, and I need camembert to recharge."
"You need cheese," I correct. "I'm thinking...cheddar."
Plagg whimpers. "Okay, okay. Don't tell Tikki?"
I smile. "Okay. And."
Plagg looks down. "She'sinyourschool."
"Yes!"
"Maybe as a teacher!" Plagg tries.
Ha. She's closer to my age, I know.
...right?

"Tikki?" I whisper, seeing a streak of red flash from Sabrina's messenger bag to my purse.
"Marinette!" Tikki smiles up at me.
"How are you doing with Coccinelle?" I ask.
Tikki pauses. "She's...different."
"Different good or different bad?"
"...different. She's kind to me, and I expected no less since you gave her my earrings, but Marinette, she won't stand up for herself. It really worries me. A Ladybug who can't stand up to evil?"
"She can as Coccinelle," I argue. "It's like she's a different person. She stood up to Chloe the other day, acted like she had no idea who she even was."
Tikki still looks dubious.
"Having the earrings will be good for Sabrina," I say.
The bell rings.
Tikki gives me one last look before saying, "Who are you trying to convince, Marinette?" and flying away.
A/N: So...tell me what you think will happen next chapter, and it probably will!
