Manon was trying to comb through her hair which was tangled and dirty. Her uncle hadn't let her take a shower in a couple of days because she was running around trying to help her uncle with the coronation of Prince Adrien.

She looked in the mirror and sighed. And saw Marinette. She quickly turned around.

"Hi." Marinette said kindly. "It's Manon, right?" she waited for an answer before continuing. "Ah. Always loved that name. Manon."

Manon looked down at her feet and back at Marinette.

She giggled.

"That's cool." Manon said with slight fear in her voice. She wanted to leave.

Yelling a bit and her hand out, "Don't go!"

Manon was startled and looked up at Marinette.

She put her hand down.

A few seconds of silence passed.

"I guess I was kind of hoping to have a friend." she chuckled a bit. "You probably have all the friends you need. Huh?"

"Hardly."

"Really?" She has a little bit of sympathy for her. "I mean with your uncle being the principal here and a miraculous holder?" She stood a few feet away from her. "I mean not to mention your own um...personality." she laughed.

"I'd rather be pretty. You've got great hair." Manon said as she nodded.

Marinette looked at her hair and then went back to Manon. "You know what? I have just the thing for that." She grabbed her spellbook and smacked it down on her hand. Which made a loud sound.

She flipped through the pages with one hand and looked for a spell. "It's right.." she kept flipping through pages. "Here."

The young girl looked at her. She was still kind of scared.

She read the spell outloud. "Beware, forswear, replace the old with brand new hair.'' She looked up at Manon and made her head turn left and then right and go down.

Manon was shrieking a bit, but when it was all over, she looked in the mirror to see her hair much longer. Which ended at her waist. Her hair was curled and wavy together. And a white lotus flower in her hair. She looked into the mirror and was amazed.

Marinette smiled and closed her book. "Wow. You almost don't notice your other features anymore." she laughed again.

Manon smiled and turned to her. She tapped her book. "Do my nose." she smiled.

"Oh. I can't. I've been practicing, but you know, I can't do any big magic."

She looked disappointed.

"You know with your uncle, he could have activated all the Miraculous and changed something for you."

"He doesn't use the Miraculous anymore. He believes that there is more to know in books than there is of the Miraculous books. Regular books with history and stuff."

"What a rip."

"Yeah.." she said softly.

"You know, he used the miraculous to change people and they weren't even his darling little niece. Doesn't he love you?"

"Of course he does. It's..just tough love. Work on the inside and not the outside. You know that sort of thing." Manon put a sad look on her face.

"That's the face!" Marinette pointed.

Manon looked at her.

"Yeah and then just look as if you're.. your heart is about to break." She put one finger up to show her an example. "Oh uncle." she gulped. "I just don't understand why you can't change me the way you changed those other people." Marinette's eyes looked to Manon.

She smiled. "Do you think it'll work?"

"Yeah." she laughed once more. "That's what the people or Paris did and changed them all, right?"

Manon smiled and laughed.

"And hey. If your dad decides to you know break out those Miraculous..invite me."

"If I can convince my uncle, you're so there."

"Yay." Marinette clapped her hands.

Manon got her bag and whispered. "Bye." she waved and left the bathroom.

"Bye." She waved her fingers

No other girl was there. And that meant Marinette could now open the Miraculous box in her pocket. She took out the box. But she was hesitant. How did she earn this? She was a villain kid.

"Oh well." she opened the box as a bright orb of red and white magic blasted from the small hexagonal box.

She had squinted her eyes and looked at the creature. She backed away and shrieked. "It's a...giant bug! A...a mouse! A bug mouse!'' She was really terrified and has never seen anything like this creature. She had backed into one of the bathroom stalls.

The creature with one black spot on her head, blue eyes and was entirely red flew towards Marinette.

"Don't be scared. It's okay."

She was still backed on the stall and went behind it. Or into it.

"Listen Marinette. I know everything may seem a bit strange to you, but-"

She slammed the stall door on her. Though she could still hear her voice.

"Okay. If that makes you feel safer." The creature was floating.

"What are you and how do you know my name?"

"I'm a kwami and my name is Tikki. Now just let me explain."

Marinette listened.

"I'm your friend Marinette." Tikki went through the door. "You must trust me. You're the only one who can stop the evil lurking around here.

"This has to be some mistake. The only superpower that I could have is magic. Wait. I know. Alya would know. That's my best friend. We've been best friends for years." she put a finger to her chin. Then brought her attention back to Tikki. "She loves having power. She would totally be up for the job. You should see her."

Tikki flew up to her face. "Marinette. You're the chosen one of this Miraculous."

Marinette stood in front of the mirror of the bathroom. Tikki floated beside her at her shoulder. She started putting the earrings on. "Okay. So all I have to do is break the object and where the whatchamacallit hides?" This was so much for her.

"It is called an akuma. Then you must capture it."

"Capture it and what's that charm thing again?"

"The Lucky Charm. It's your secret super power."

Marinette sighed. "This is all just too much, Tikki. I..I won't be able to do this." She looked at the kwami.

"Trust yourself, Marinette. Just say spots on and then spots off. It's easy. Give it a try."

"Spots on?" she questioned.

Tikki immediately flew into her earrings and she transformed into Ladybug.

She wasn't used to this type of feeling. But when it was over, she looked into the mirror to see her hair in pigtails. Red ribbon holding her hair in place. A latex suit that covered her neck down. Black polka dots and red. Along with a latex mask. "Spots off?"

Tikki flew out of her earrings and beamed. The kwami knew she was ready and flew into her har which was now down.

The Ladybug Miraculous was now activated.

Plagg woke up from his nap and flew to Adrien. "Kid. The Ladybug Miraculous has now been activated."

"What? Now?"

"Yes. Now. Let's be cautious and find her."

Adrien nodded.

To himself, Master Fu said, "I only got this wrong once. They will save this school and the world."
