A/N: For anyone who didn't get the jokes in the last chapter, Rabid White is from A.G. Howard's novel Splintered. He's a skeletal little man with antlers, the creepy twisted version of the White Rabbit from Wonderland. The rabbit minions and the Lucky Charm are thanks to The Unusual Suspects, by Michael Buckley. There's a scene where the son of the Pied Piper controls a swarm of rabbits using a harmonica, turning them into vicious little death machines (kinda the opposite of Coccinelle's Lucky Charm).

I rip open Marinette's letter. Sure, I could find her and ask her in person, but that would take longer. The letter's just in my messenger bag.

"I'll guide you to Master Fu," Tikki offers. "He's the Guardian of the Miraculous."

I scan the letter. It's just a quick list of all the holders Marinette's given Miraculous to, and which ones. Good. She seems to have foreseen that I'd be reading this without much time to spare.

"Yeah. Good idea."

"Master Fu?" I ask. "I'm Sabrina."

The old Chinese man looks up. "Ah, yes, Coccinelle. Ladybug told me about you. I assume this isn't just a friendly visit?"

I shake my head. "I need the Fox, Bee, and Turtle Miraculous."

He nods, goes to a phonograph-like thing, and presses a pattern of buttons. Drawers open, each with a jewel inside it.

I see a yin-yang symbol, and touch my earrings. That's where they go in the box.

Master Fu selects two jewels: a necklace with a fox-tail pendant, and Chloe's bee comb. He turns to me.

I look at them. "But…" Where's the Turtle?

Master Fu smiles. I take the jewels- and he hands me his bracelet.

Oh.

"You'll return them to me when you're done," Master Fu states.

No, I was planning on letting them keep their Miraculous, I think sarcastically. Like Chloe has the temperament for a permanent holder. And Alya and Nino are too smitten with the liar.

I nod. "Tikki, spots-"

"Better to leave the same way you came in," Master Fu cautions.

I duck my head, embarrassed. Should've thought of that.

"Tikki, spots on," I whisper.

As Coccinelle, I yoyo away from the alley Sabrina ducked into.

{{{{{{{{{marinette}}}}}}}}}

My phone buzzes.

Alya: girl i need u here rn

Alya: im right outside the school

Alya: u need to help

Alya: LADYBLOG EMERGENCY

I think I know what's going on.

Marinette: Sorry, I can't. I'm hiding from the akuma like a sensible person. Why don't you ask Lila?

Alya: remember shes coccinelle?

I roll my eyes.

Marinette: I remember she SAID she was Coccinelle.

Marinette: Alya?

Marinette: aren't you going to say something?

I close my phone. Looks like Alya's Rena now. Might as well sit back and do some homework.

((((((((((sabrina))))))))))

It's a good thing Rena Rouge and Carapace accepted their Miraculous fast and are already helping Chat Noir, because Queen Bee is not being helpful.

"As if," Chloe snorts. "Find someone else, Lila. I'm not helping you, because you and I both know you probably stole those earrings from Ladybug and tricked Chat Noir into playing nice with you. Ridiculous, utterly ridic-"

"I'm not Lila," I tell her. "Lila is a hateful liar who has no business claiming any relationship with Ladybug more than the average akuma victim."

Chloe turns back, arms folded. "I'm listening."

One minute thirty-six seconds later, Queen Bee's trompo catches on the same lamppost as my yoyo, and we swing toward the Eiffel Tower together.

[[[[[[[[[[adrien]]]]]]]]]]

"Get back, bunny rabbits!" I hear Rena Rouge call.

"She-"

"No, not yet! Wait until we need it."

I glare at my kwami. "Can you hurry it up, Plagg?"

"Fine dining cannot be rushed."

"I'll tell 'Tikki' you gave me hints-"

Plagg scarfs down the chunk of cheese. "Okay, no need for dire threats, Adrien! I'm ready. Jeez."

I smirk. "Plagg, claws out!"

^^^^^^^^^^alya^^^^^^^^^^

I grin at Chat Noir, hurting seven-year-old-me's heart by kicking a rabbit away. "Glad you could make it, kitty cat."

He rolls his eyes. "My kwami doesn't like to be rushed eating." He smacks a rabbit with his baton.

I use my flute to whack several more away. "Any idea when Lady- Coccinelle is getting here?"

"Lady Coccinelle?"

"I see her!" Nino yells, pointing at a rapidly approaching orange-and-yellow blur.

"And Queen Bee," Chat notes. He's not a fan of Chloe either, I guess. "Regroup."

Nino and I follow Chat to a roof far enough away we'll have five minutes or so without the killer rabbits. I smile hugely at Lila as she lands gracefully on the roof, Chloe just behind her.

"Li- Coccinelle!" I remind myself just in time that Chat Noir might not know her real name….although they are dating. He probably does, but our fight is probably being recorded. And besides, he shouldn't know that I know Coccinelle's name. "You made it! I thought you didn't like Chloe?"

Chloe, unlike Lila, was dumb enough to reveal her identity to all of Paris, including Hawk Moth. Lila's smart. She only revealed her identity to a few people she knew wouldn't betray her.

"Ladybug left clear instructions," Lila says. "Have any of you figured out where the akuma is yet?"

Chat and I shake our heads.

"It's not on Rabid White," Nino says. "That much we know."

Chloe's scanning the swarm of rabbits, as if she's Ladybug. As if she thinks she could actually help.
