Hey people! Hope you're having an at least okay Valentine's Day.

No special, because I had no time for it. I was making something for this story, in case you all were wondering what I was doing these few days, instead of working on the rest of my fanfics.

Since, this is taking a while, I'm giving you guys a preview of what's coming up.

Check this out!

This is all taking place in the middle of another break from school.

In Aaron's room, he's having a video chat with all his friends on his laptop on his desk.

Suddenly, his Mom came in and gave Aaron an envelope and he said, "Thanks Mom." as she left.

"What's that, Aaron?" Kim asked.

"My plane ticket."

"Where're you going?" Alya said.

"My mom told me while we were making the movie. My grandmother said there was a change of plans for the family reunion and we're celebrating it on Mardi Gras instead of next month.

So yeah, I won't be here for the next few days." Aaron said.

Everyone individually said something that meant they understood.

Yet, Cyrus, Nilak, Cody, and Zoé didn't. Mardi wha?

"What's Mardi Gras?" Zoé asked.

Aaron then explained, "Mardi Gras, sometimes called Fat Tuesday, is a holiday people celebrate to dedicate the close of the pre-Lenten season.

The pre-Lenten season, A.K.A. Shrovetide or Forelent, is the Christian period of preparation before the beginning of the liturgical season of Lent, the season of the church year that follows the Epiphany Season.

My family's gonna celebrate at my Momo's place while we have our reunion. We're gonna see the parade in downtown Baton Rouge, and afterwards at night, we're all gonna eat out in the backyard."

That's why no one's at school even though it's a weekday. It's Mardi Gras Break.

Make sense how they don't know about it. They're all from the U.S., and Louisiana, Aaron's home state, is the only state where it's an official holiday.

Mardi Gras is actually celebrated Italy, Germany, Russia, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, Louisiana, Poland, the U.K., and a lot of other places. Even here in Paris.

I'm surprised Nilak doesn't know about it. She's from England!

Elsie then led everyone inside the airport, and the long process of going to the terminal, handing in tickets, and boarding the plane went by.

When the plane took off, everyone was seated.

Elsie was up front with the toddlers, Aarielle was on the other side along with Zoé, Aaron had Mari and Adrien on both his sides behind Elsie, and on the other side of the plane was Cyrus, Nilak, and Cody.

Mari was out the window to get her mind off Adrien, but he was video calling his dad on a tablet. He called to make sure he got onboard safely.

Gabriel's actually calling from the private plane he owns, but Adrien doesn't need to know that.

We now see them walking around North Boulevard Town Square.

"Thanks for showing us around, Aaron." Marinette said.

"No, thank you guys." Aaron said, "It was nice to spend a day back in Baton Rouge."

When they all stopped at a crosswalk, but then an expensive looking car pulled up next to them, and the back seat window pulled down and a voice from it was heard.

"Hey, Aaron! Long time no see!"

Aaron and Aarielle knew that voice too well. They didn't answer and looked away as the crosswalk signal gave the 'walk' signal and they both walked on, leaving Aaron's friends perplexed.

As the car still followed them down the street, they got a look of the person who called out to Aaron in the car.

It was a girl around their age with fair skin. She's a redhead with an orange headband, and as her long hair went down the back of her hair, there's a single black streak in it. She has a silver designer jacket over her blue dress, and white shoes.

She said, "Aaron, I know you can hear me. You can't ignore your friend like this, y'know."

"You were the one who ended the friendship, Tracey."

Yep, this was Tracey. Remember? Aaron mentioned her and how much of a brat she was? Stomped on their friendship and only cared about winning?

"Come on, Aaron, don't you miss me a little?"

"You're bad at body language, you know that?" he said, obviously not wanting to talk to her, "I know you're upset that I'm the Ace."

"...I'm not upset at all."

"I got your account cancelled when you tried using Aaron for clout." Aarielle said.

Tracey's eye twitched, and I swear I heard glass starting to crack.

Yeah, about that: three days after Aaron's face reveal, Aarielle found out online that Tracey had a social account and on it, she was posting lies saying that she was best friends with the Ace.

Aarielle debunked that and got her cancelled saying that she was the Ace's sister, she showed proof to those who didn't believe her at first, and said that Aaron didn't even know anyone named Tracey.

Almost all of Tracey's followers left her, and the site blocked her account.

I really hope you guys don't do stuff like that.

"Glare, Shadow, Dim the Lights." Twilight then detransformed and took a look at his kwamis.

Shadow looked fine, but Glare didn't look too good. She looked weak and unwell. So unwell that she stopped floating, leaving Aaron to catch her in his hands.

Worried he said, "Glare! You okay?! Speak to me!"

"Aaron...I don't feel so good..." she weakly said.

"I'm not surprised." Shadow said, "(to Aaron) Your worst friend forever was akumatized and now she's going around with Glare's Light Speed and immunity. Now she can take your Miraculous without going insane.

Not only that, but Shadow Moth found out about your trip and knows that your on the hunt for the lost Miraculous.

If were not careful, she might be able to take the others too. I'll just say it now. We. Are. Finished."

"We're finished 'til I say we're finished." Aaron said, feeling determined, "We still have your Phantasm and super sense. We're gonna beat that akuma, and we're getting back that Miraculous or we're going out trying."

Tracey looked at Ladybug and Cat Noir lying on the ground.

She smirked and went towards them. "Next time, try to go a little faster."

Twilight reached out for them. "GUYS NO!" But he wouldn't make it in time.

Then, through his eyes, it was as if time slowed down, and everything but Crimson, Ladybug and Cat Noir was white.

The white on his Miraculous glowed, then he closed his eyes. Right after, his body was covered in a white glow.

Not sure how, but Twilight ran towards Crimson, just when she was about to take one of Ladybug's earrings, but he ran quick. And I mean quick.

Right when Crimson was about to take it off, she was kneed in the face by Twilight, and flew right into a lamppost.

The two heroes got up and looked at Twilight who was standing in front of them, looking at Crimson Runner.

The glow went away, and it looks like his look changed a bit.

There's now a black cloak on him, had some fingerless gloves, and his katannas and the holders for them were replaced with one holder, and it was holding a dual bladed version of his katannas put together. Finally, his mask was changed also. The diagonal line separating the two colors on it was replaced with a zigzag line separating the black and white, and on the black side of the mask was four points with white at the edges of them, and the same went for the white side but on the four white points was black at the edges of the points.

Twilight looked at himself amazed. He felt...different. Like he was a little stronger, more agile, and a little faster.

He saw Trace get up and look at him with a scowl.

Shadow Moth had the same look.

That's impossible! Twilight shouldn't have his super speed! It was taken away!

"I took your Light Speed! How'd you even-"

Twilight looked at his akumatized ex-fake best friend and said, "Well, news flash: true power's never lost."

And, that's all I'm giving.

You want more? Wait for next Tuesday.

Honestly, I'm not finished with the chapter yet, so wish me the best when I try to finish it within seven days.

Until then, see you guys later.
