Marinette awoke the next day to a steady ringing in her ears. Thinking she had slept in again, and that it was her alarm clock, she dragged her arm out of the warm covered, and blindly felt around to destroy that infernal annoyance. If only she could find the snooze button, she might be able to sneak in just five more minutes before school. Reaching around she hit against the clock and mistakenly knocked it flying from her loft bed. It plummeted to her room far below. With a shutter she heard the clock meet the floor and break into pieces. "Not again!" she moaned as she pulled herself out of bed to examine the damage. Holding two chucks of plastic and electronics in her hands she realized that the ringing had not been coming from the clock. "What in the world…?!" She mumbled to herself as she rummaged through her things trying to find the source of the sound.

"Marinette the day has come! It is time!" Tiki announced buzzing overhead excitedly.

"What day is it? What's the time?" Marinette asked, still digging in her backpack looking for her phone.

"The day you can finally start your journey to evolve our miraculous," Tiki chirped proudly.

"Evolve it? You mean like the power-up macaroons?" Marinette asked abandoning her search, and taking Tiki in her hands.

"Well sort of like that. I guess you could say it is a way of maturing the miraculous once a wielder reaches adulthood, and gained enough experience with a miraculous…and yes that does develop your power," the kwami explained.

"Wow Tiki, that is awesome! Is it some recipe again we have to decipher from the book we got back from Hawkmoth?"

"Uh…no…it's a bit more complicated than that…" Tiki admitted.

"Harder than figuring out an ancient text of a language unheard of to any except for monks who disappeared for hundreds of years?

"Yes."

"Okay, then I need to sit down to hear this, but first I've got to find out what is making that sound! It is driving me crazy!"

Tiki wordlessly pointed to under her chase lounge…right where Marinette had hidden the miracle box, under the loose floorboard, and carefully hidden and secure using a series of spring loaded locks (a more elaborate version of the one she had designed to secure her diary when she first started guarding ladybug secrets—which ended up pretty effective against Sabrina and Chloe).

Marinette knelt down with a glance at Tiki and pulled out the miracle box. Sure enough the buzzing sounded louder. As soon as she opened it though…the sound stopped.

"Now what?" she asked.

"Just wait and watch," the kwami responded eagerly.

Suddenly the central panels start to glow.

Both you and Chat Noir have been active miraculous holders for just over three years now. You have come so far! I'm so excited for you to start the miraculous journey challenges!"

"Thank you Tiki! I couldn't have done it without you!" Tiki snuggled up to Marinette's cheek. "But Tiki, what do you mean by 'journey?' she paused.

"There are tasks hidden all over the world! After you complete the test, the next location will be revealed. The best part is that you can use Kaalki to teleport to the location as a miraculous guardian! But remember you will only be albe to use your primary miraculous for the trials," Tiki described to her.

"I've always wanted to see the world!" Marinette exclaimed, but then sank. "What kind of excuse can I make this time so my parents don't worry where I keep disappearing off to?!"

"I'm sure we will think of something," Tiki reassured her, "you always do!"
