Ha! Updated early again! I am working on a story that so far is ridiculously long. Eventually it will be posted here but I am running into snags with it as my mind tries to organize itself. Haha organize… In any case here is a one shot that I whipped up when I came across a picture of Tiki and Plagg looking at each other from their respective wielders bags. I have no idea what the picture was to or if it had a story to it but my mind ran with the idea. Thanks for reading!

Tiki decides to hang out in Marinette backpack because she is fixing her purse at home and discovers something incredible.

Oh yes... I dont own this show...

Kwami Connection

Marinettes purse was in a sense Tikis home since she spent most of her day in it. Not that she minded of course, it was the easiest place to hide and Marinette always carried it with her. Ever since getting Tiki as her kwami, Marinette had even renovated the inside so that it was a soft safe haven for her to sleep and in general be comfortable in. There was always something sweet to eat inside and even though she carried her keys and phone in the purse they had their own special pocket so Tiki could use most of the space to spread out in. Then yesterday when Marinette had been babysitting, Manon had pulled the purses strap whining over something and it had snapped. Unfortunately it left Marinette and Tiki a slight dilemma for school the next day since she hadn't yet had a chance to fix it. For a moment Marinette contemplated leaving Tiki home but if an akuma attack happened time was of the essence. She wouldn't want to have to run home then run back out when she knew Chat would be on the scene long before her. Marinette didn't really have any other purses and with a sigh she lifted up her backpack. "It will only be for today but do you mind hiding in my backpack?"

Tiki giggled. "No Marinette I don't mind. As long as I am with you it doesn't matter where I hide."

Swiftly Marinette cleaned out the side pocket of the bag that usually held her pen case and spare energy bars before placing a sheaf of cookies and some fabric down in the bottom to make it soft. The top portion of the pocket was a thick mesh weave but Marinette left it half zipped so extra light could get in and Tiki disappeared through the side of the pocket as Marinette lifted the bag up onto her back. A moment later Tiki zoomed back out as Marinette started her climb down the stairs.

"I'll be fine in there for the day so don't worry so much!" Tiki said happy to see Marinettes worried face ease into a small smile. Then she darted back into the bag as Marinette raced through the house and out the door getting to class just before the bell rang. School for Tiki was fascinating. She had been around for a very long time and while some of her other wielders had attended to some kind of learning Marinette was the first that spent so much time doing so. The sheer amount of knowledge the adults were forcing these children to know was impressive and Tiki was overjoyed to see that Marinette for the most part did well in all of her classes. Listening to the teacher through the thin walls of Marinette backpack Tiki ate a cookie being careful not to drop crumbs all over the place. Class was interrupted briefly as someone showed up late and Tiki glanced up through the mesh realizing it was Marinette crush Adrien. She giggled quietly to herself when she heard Marinette trying to say good morning to him but then she felt it. It was a strange tugging sensation, a feeling she only really sensed felt when Chat Noir was near. Curious she pressed her face up to the zipper and looked about. She had felt this sensation numerous times in and around the school but she could never locate where it originated from. Today was different, and the moment her gaze landed on the bag in front of her she could see the shocked pair of green eyes lock onto hers. Tiki could recognize those eyes anywhere, it was Plagg her other half. Her whole body practically vibrated and she nearly blew both of their covers before reasoning struck her. Swiftly she waved her hand down towards the floor and Plagg gave a long slow blink in acquiescence before vanishing. Diving straight down through the bag and floor into the space beyond she paused in the darkness.

"Hello Tiki! Bright as ever I see." Plagg said his eyes giving him away in the darkness.

Tiki rushed over to him and crushed him in a tight embrace. "You have been sitting in front of me this entire time and have never said anything?!" She squealed indignantly.

Though he normally pretended to be aloof, this time he returned the embrace whole heartedly.

"Usually you're in that purse of the shy girl and it's not like I could just float up to her and go, Hi I'm Plagg! Can I borrow Tiki?"

Tiki chuckled and released him. "Your right, Marinette would probably die of shock. She likes your boy Adrien so much she can hardly speak to him."

Plagg whooped and flipped midair as he laughed. "Oh this is fantastic! Adrien is in love with Ladybug and he doesn't even realize she is right behind him!"

"You will not tell him!" Tiki snapped and Plagg shook his head rapidly recognizing that tone.

"No way! This is one of the best mix ups ever! Besides they make a great team, it's going to be hilarious when they finally figure each other out." Plagg said chuckling all the while.

Tiki giggled as well. It really was funny how even after all the partners they had chosen she and Plagg always seemed to be drawn to each other. Then in turn their partners were eventually drawn together as well. It was fate she assumed.

"Well now that I know you are there we can meet up under here and keep each other updated." Tiki said and Plagg groaned.

"I usually like to sleep in the mornings you know." He said and Tiki huffed

"I see your laziness hasn't changed. Do you eat anything besides cheese these days?"

"Do you eat anything besides sweets?" Plagg countered and Tiki stuck her tongue out at him.

"Fine how about we meet after lunch when they are in class and don't say you usually nap then too." Tiki said and Plagg closed his mouth.

"Do I have a choice?" Plagg whined

"Nope! After lunch it is then!" Tiki cried and Plagg had to grin at how happy she was. They really hadn't seen each other in a long while and he had missed her. Not that he would ever tell her that of course.

"Fine, fine after lunch it is." Plagg agreed "We should probably get back to our bags so they don't notice we are gone."

Tiki nodded "I will see you after lunch so we can catch up then!" ignoring his groan she shot back up into Marinettes bag excitement bubbling through her. Looking through the mesh of the bag Tiki caught a glimpse of Plaggs eyes then a moment later the bell rang releasing the students to their next class. The rest of the morning passed quickly and Marinette went home for lunch to begin work on the purse strap.

"You don't have to fix it so quickly Marinette!" Tiki said watching as her charge stabbed herself in the finger yet again.

"I know Tiki but its a lot harder to run around with a backpack verses a purse." Marinette replied "Plus the purse is more comfortable for you… Isn't it?"

Tiki nodded she was more comfortable in the purse and now that she had finally found Plagg she could easily go through the purse to meet up with him. The silly fool was lazy but he always kept his promises. The lunch break ended and Marinette managed to fix the strap just in time although she had to then eat as she ran back to school. Once class had started Tiki dove into the floor where to her surprise Plagg was waiting for her.

"And here I thought I would have to wait for you." Tiki said causing Plagg to grin

"I figured the sooner we begin the sooner I can catch up on my missed sleep." Plagg answered causing Tiki to shake her head with a sigh.

Some things never changed.

See you guys in a few days! To be honest this short is a place holder, I have another episode like story that will be finished soon and yes it is a multi-chaptered item.
