AN: This one is a prequel to chapter 18 of this fic.
Alya raised an eyebrow as she looked at the odd-looking creature in front of her.
It had a tiny body, ridiculously large head, green eyes and two cat-like ear protruding from it's head. It really should have been impossible really. Absolutely no creature on Earth should have a head that big compared to it's body.
When Alya walked into Adrien's room to work on their latest joint school project, she was not expecting to accidently stumble upon this.
"Meow," the creature said and Alya raised her eyebrow even further. Still, the creature gamely tried to keep up the charade.
"Meow," it said again, just as Adrien walked into the room. He gave Alya a nervous smile.
"I see you've found my cat," he said with a nervous smile. He knelt down and ran his finger along the top of the creature's head. "It's a really rare breed. Very hard to come by and really expensive."
"Meow," the 'cat' went again, walking on all fours up to Alya. "Meow."
"Oh give it up Plagg, you're still as unconvincing as ever!" Trixx said with a hint of annoyance as he flew out of Alya's coat. Adrien jaw dropped.
"You know that we're supposed to stay out of sight!" Plagg protested as he flew up to Trixx. "Even I don't break that rule!"
"You're just afraid of Tikki," Trixx replied and Plagg shuddered.
"Have you seen Tikki when she's angry?"
Trixx favoured Plagg with a contemptuous look.
"Have you forgotten what happened in Egypt? And then there was that mess in Vietnam. Not to mention that trouble with those Vikings. It's fun watching her get all wound up," Trixx said with a smirk.
"You're just a trouble maker, you are!" Plagg accused Trixx and Adrien snorted. Plagg shot him a dirty look.
"Nobody could accuse you of being too good Plagg," Adrien said with a grin and Plagg humphed.
"So…I guess you could say that the cat's out of the bag?" Adrien said as he turned to Alya, who chuckled.
"Only you would come out with a pun that bad," she replied and the two teenagers chuckled.
