The next day...
It's Friday and it's Aaron's first day of school at François Dupont Highschool. He was already in the car with Mom who was on the phone and driving. Aaron couldn't believe what happened last night, he was worthy enough to find a Miraculous, and it was an accident!
He was in the back seat hoping that his mom wasn't listening to his conversation to his new kwamis.
"So to summarize, I can become a hero just by calling both of your names then saying, 'Shine the Light', and change back saying 'Dim the Lights'?" Aaron asked. Glare nodded and as she said, "That's correct. Don't forget, when you're in your alternate attire, it won't come of until you transform back." "Which will be never, unless you say the words." Shadow finished.
Aaron couldn't wait until his first day of heroism. He thought after school would be perfect to start. If things go good on the first day that is.
Elsie pulled up to the school, and Aaron as got out with his bag on his back, and his kwamis hiding in it, she said, "Have a great first day, Aaron." "Thanks Mom, see you later." He said as he walked inside.
Aaron was impressed at the inside look of the place.
"Okay, my first class is with Ms. Bustier." Aaron thought as he pulled out his schedule from his back pocket, "Upstairs, last door on the right. Seems easy enough."
Aaron walked up the stairs and knocked on said door. Well, thought door. Answering the door was a light-skinned woman with strong tangelo colored-hair, which is pulled back in a high bun, and freckles a light arctic blue jacket with a moderate opal collared shirt and a white undershirt beneath, along with a pair of white earrings and a small goldish white necklace. She's also wearing light arctic blue pants and white high heeled dress shoes.
"Oh, you must Aaron. I'm Ms. Bustier, your new teacher. Come in." Aaron did so with a smile on his face.
"Everyone, I'd like everyone to meet our new student, Aaron Palmer. Aaron, would you like to introduce yourself?" Ms. Bustier said.
"Well, not really but I'll go anyway."
Aaron said, "Hey everyone. I'm Aaron, I moved here from the U.S., I'm a fast thinker, I'm a smart and observant person, and I can tell that this is gonna be a great new chapter in my life." "Thank you Aaron, please take a seat in the back of the class." Ms. Bustier told him. Aaron nodded to her, and walked to his new desk.
After seven full hours of math, science, lunch, P.E. then finally E.L.A., school was over for the day.
"Okay class, remember to read chapters three and four, I'll see you all tomorrow." Ms. Bustier said as everyone started walking out of the class. Aaron was still packing his notes in his bag. When he finished, he left the class, then school, and then texted his mom that he was going to check out Paris for the rest of the day.
Walking down the street, he was already reading chapter four the assigned book from class.
He wasn't paying attention to anything else, he was too focused in the book. So focused, that he accidentally bumped into someone and dropped his book. "Whoops, my bad it was an accident."
Aaron apologized quickly as he picked up his book off the floor. He looked up to see who he bumped into, and he saw a boy with a white button-down shirt with an upturned collar and sleeves rolled up above his elbow, which was unbuttoned. Underneath, was a black shirt with three horizontal stripes around the chest which are colored, from top to bottom, yellow, bright green, and periwinkle. He wears blue jeans and orange sneakers with white laces and a silver ring on his right hand.
"It's okay, I know you didn't mean to do it." he said.
When Aaron got up, he looked the boy and said, "Hey, you look familiar. You're that fashion model that I've been seeing around town, Adrien Agreste, right?"
"That's me. You're the new guy, Aaron right?" He asked.
"That's right. Nice to meet you." Aaron said as he held out his hand that Adrian gladly shook.
Then they started walking and talking for three minutes. "So Aaron, how's your first day in Paris been?" Adrien asked.
"Not bad, not bad at all. If you ask me, things have going great so far." Aaron said, "Although, I do miss America, it'll always be my home in my heart."
Suddenly there car honk that got both of the boy's attention. It was Adrien's bodyguard waiting for him to get in the car. "Well, that's my ride, I gotta go."
The Agreste boy said as he got in the car. "Okay see ya later." Aaron said as his new friend's drove off. "He was nice." Glare said as she flew out of Aaron's bag. "I know. Blech!" Shadow said as he flew out of the bag.
"Shadow, do you have to be negative all the time?" Aaron said.
"Well sor-ry if this is who I am you don't like it."
"I never said I didn't like it."
"Whatever. Can we go see the city yet?"
"Yeah, hold on." Aaron looked around to see if anyone was around, then he and the opposite kwamis went into a nearby alleyway.
"Okay, let's do this." Aaron said feeling ready. "Just remember Aaron, 'Glare, Shadow, Shine the Light.'" Glare reminded Aaron. "Alright. Glare, Shadow, Shine the Light!"
Aaron said. And like that, both kwamis entered Aaron's bracelet. Aaron clasped his hands together and black gloves appeared then a body suit appeared starting from the wrists the suit's completely black on the right side and white on the other side from head to torso and from the waist down, the colors are vice versa, white on the right side and black on the left. He looped his hands around his waist, and a belt appeared dividing the two sections of switched colors. He held out his hands and what appeared in them were duel katanas that are black and white respectively. He then put them in the scabbards on the sides of his belt. Finally, he swiped his left hand upwards on face making half a white domino mask, and he swiped his right hand downwards on his face making a black half of the mask and the colors were divided by a diagonal line.
When his transformation was complete, took a look at himself at a mirror he found in the alley and said, "Dang, I look good. Okay time to go sightseeing."
Aaron wall jumped on the alley's walls and started running and jumping across the rooftops.
"So this must be what Ladybug and Cat Noir feel when they do stuff like this." Aaron thought as he wall ran on the side of a building. He started with the Louvre. He was on a building that wasn't too far from it.
"Let's see if I can remember the words that Shadow told me." He thought. He then said out loud, "Phantasm!" Suddenly, Aaron disappeared in big shadow. When the shadow disappeared, Aaron was gone too. Well, he isn't gone, he's just invisible. "Sweet, Invisibility!" Aaron thought as he made his way to the Louvre, quietly and undetected.
Two hours later, he's still invisible and is somewhere else: Le Grand Paris.
Aaron heard of this hotel, before but never actually saw it before. Well there's no better time present, am I right? Aaron was in front of the hotel and thought, "Knowing a place like this, it probably has security systems and I don't feel like changing back to visible, so I can't just go through the front entrance. Let's see if there's a way on top."
And with that, Aaron started climbing the building. It took a while, but he made it to the top. "It's a good thing I don't have a fear of heights or some other ridiculous phobia." Aaron said in his head as he hung from the edge of the building, "Dang, this view. This would make a great postcard."
Aaron was halfway done sightseeing, he just has to go see the greatest well-known landmark in Paris: the Eiffel Tower. "Luminosity!" Aaron said making a bright white light cover Aaron. When the light was gone, Aaron was visible again. And like that Aaron just jumped off the building. Little did he know, two teenage girls saw him go back to visible and jump off.
Something was amiss, the Eiffel Tower was just, gone. It wasn't where it was supposed to be. Aaron was on a building not too far from it's place. "Wait what? Where'd the tower go? Did take a wrong turn?" He thought out loud.
Suddenly, there was this huge wave of red and black spots. As soon as they were gone, the tower was back. "Oh, akumatized victim. That explains it." Aaron thought, "Ladybug and Cat Noir must've dealt with someone new. Anyway, what did Glare tell me her words were? Oh right."
Aaron then said, "Light Speed!".
And in a second his eyes went completely white, and through those eyes all Aaron could see was everything in slow motion.
"Alright, super speed! Now let's see how fast I really am." Aaron then zoomed all the way to Eiffel Tower, and started running up the side of the building and stopped when he got to the very top.
"Normal Speed!" Aaron said making his eyes change back and everything he looked at moving at their normal pace. "Okay I take it back. This view is a lot better than the one at Le Grand Paris. I should come up here more often." Aaron said looking down at Paris.
Four and a half hours later, Aaron was running across the rooftops again feeling good about himself "I'm living the life. I got new powers, I saw the entire city in a day. Man, life is great.". Aaron then stopped then looked around to see if anyone was looking, then jumped into an empty alleyway and said "Glare, Shadow, Dim the Lights.". There was a flash of light, Aaron walked out of the alleyway in his normal clothes with his kwamis in his bag. Both were eating candy to get their energy back: Sweet for Glare, and Sour for Shadow.
Four minutes later, Aaron made it into his house, closed the door and said, "I'm home." To his surprise, Aaron looked back at the door and saw a note that read,
I'm at my new job interview, Aarielle's at a new friend's house, and the children are at daycare. I'll pick them up on my way back home. There should be some leftover pizza from last night for dinner. See you soon. Love, Mom.
"Huh, I guess I get the house to myself. You guys can come out." Aaron called out to his kwamis.
They came out of the bag and Shadow said, "About time, 'cause I've been meaning to ask you, did you think it was really a good idea to go out in public like that."
Aaron started going up the stairs with Glare and Shadow in tow and said, "Come on, Shadow, I was quick, I was quiet, and I didn't do anything reckless."
Aaron went in his room, got his laptop from his luggage, set it on his new desk, and said, "And besides, it's not like anyone will get the wrong idea. What's the worst that can happen?"
When Aaron's laptop was logged on, a sudden news alert came on saying,
Breaking News: People of Paris have witnessed seeing a mysterious figure in black and white all around the city. Some would say that this is either a new villain or hero, but based on what others have seen, this figure is armed, fast, and claimed to be a good hider.
"Oh, that's the worst that could happen." Aaron said reading the news. "Told ya so." Shadow said feeling proud of himself.
