Emma felt a jolt and jumped up from her bed, "Holy fuck!"

She hopped in place trying to figure out what had happened when she saw the two kwami floating in her room. Her eyes narrowed in on the spotted one, Which she had not seen in 10 years, "Tikki?"

"Emma!" Tikki smiled as she flew over and hugged the girl's face.

The girl smiled and patted her with her finger, "Shouldn't you be with Ladybug?"

"I am with Plagg to help you," The kwami of creation explained as she floated back to be with Plagg, "You feel better right?"

The teenager paused and realized, she did. She felt fine, actually better than fine, she felt great, "What did you guys do?"

The kwami of destruction waved his paw at her, "Well, explain after you shower. You need one, and you know it's bad when I say something."

Emma raised her eyebrow as she pulled her shirt up to sniff it.

Tikki couldn't help but giggle as the hero gagged at the smell.

….

Kathy groaned in her sleep as Pollen sat next to Rowdy, or Jason as he was known out of costume, who glared at her. It wasn't Pollen's fault, Kathy and Pollen's chi didn't match. Not like Pollen and Chloé's had.

The bee kwami really wished the others saved them soon.

…..

After a quick shower and pulling on some clean red and black pajamas, Emma found herself looking at her phone while brushing her teeth. She had missed a lot in her 6 day haze. The girl saw she had 45 text messages from several family members and friends, which didn't include the 24 emails, too many to count social media messages, and 57 phone calls.

The Agreste girl sighed and glanced at one text from Nina that was saying she heard about Louis and Sophie and how she was so sorry she didn't know why Sophie changed her mind. Spitting out her tooth paste and putting her tooth brush up she looked at a message from Sophie.

Sophie: I'm getting worried. Please call me.

Emma felt a dull pain in her chest at the message. That surprised her, this wasn't the breath stopping panic she was use to or the crippling chest pain. Just a dull feeling.

What in the world did Plagg and Tikki do?

…..

Since it waz about 3am, Emma had no problem sneaking into to grab some raspberry cheesecake cookies for Plagg and Tikki and some food for her to snack on as well, she was really hungry all of a sudden.

When she got back she laughed seeing Tikki and Plagg playing with Alice.

Emma placed the plate down for the kwamis and opened her poptart, "What did you guys do? I feel different. Like when I was a….kid?"

"Close," Plagg explained, munching on the cookie, "I basically destroyed all the overwhelming negative emotions you had in head like anxiety and sadness, etc."

"I replaced those negative emotions by reinforcing your positive ones. Like joy and humor," Tikki added proudly sitting on the sleeping cat with her cookie.

That caused a look to appear on Emma face, "You fixed me?"

"No!" Plagg immediately cut in dropping his cookie, "There was nothing wrong with you in the first place!"

Plagg of all people saying that caused tears to well in Emma's eyes.

Tikki put her cookie down and floated closer, "Em, trauma causes scars and lingering pain, whether it be physically or mentally. All me and Plagg did was ease pain. Think of it like a mega antidepressant."

"Plus, this is temporary, kid," The cat kwami added firmly, "Your depression, anxiety, and insomnia will slowly return to normal, so keep taking your medicine."

"Alright," Emma muttered, wiping tears away.

"But," Tikki added, "We did this for a reason. We don't like to do this, magic shouldn't be used to fix problems like this. This is important though. You need to be ready and able to be Cat Noir. Pegasus's miraculous was taken today in part cause you weren't there to help."

"It was? Damn it," The cat hero muttered angry at the bandits but also herself.

"This...reprieve as we'll call it, is so you can get it back together," Plagg went on to explain, "We need you to deal with your issues. This should let you deal with the whole Sophie and Louis thing better."

Emma sighed and rubbed her face, now that her head was clear she could actually think. She knew her answer. Sophie loved Louis, and Louis was her little brother. Knew what she was doing, "Nothing to deal with. Sophie is staying with Louis, and as far as she knows I don't know she was ever considering dating me. Time to do what I should have done all along. Let go. Move on. She's not the one for me."

Emma got up and took the empty plate of cookies out of the room not looking back at the kwamis. If she had should we have noticed the concerned looks on their faces.

….

Tikki returned to Sophie's room around 4am. As she arrived she saw Sophie curled up into a blanket asleep, holding a teddy bear in a bumble bee sweater and a book.

Tikki was confused till she saw a dusty bag with a to and from tag.

To: Sophie

Love: Emma

The kwami could only sigh and think about how this might be a bigger disaster than Marinette and Adrien.

"Hello! It's time for Tikki Facts!" Plagg cheered as Tikki hugged him, "Hey, Sugarcube!"

Tikki smiled and looked at the reader, "Today let's talk about how chi works with the miraculous."

"Any person can use a miraculous," Plagg started explaining, "But to use it properly or without repercussions your chi needs to match or work with the kwamis."

Tikki nodded, "Really the big thing is making sure what happens to Nathalie and Emilie happened would happen to you. The Miraculous eats away at your chi and life force to stabilize it. Repeat use without the proper chi will hurt the miraculous and you. To fix the miraculous someone with a chi matching it will use but it will hurt them till it's fixed."

"Someone's chi can match multiple chi. Adrien's for example worked with the cat, snake, and ladybug miraculous," Plagg added.

"Also, someone could an a neutral chi that works with multiple miraculous and allows them to actually till who could use each miraculous. Master Fu could do this and Marinette to a degree," Tikki finished explaining.

"That being said do you think Buzzkill will be okay?" Plagg asked.

"I really don't know."

Author's Note

So that's the end of arc one. I should be done moving soon so hopefully more time to work of this. Also reminder that Emma knew Tikki and Plagg as a kid but thought they were imaginary as she grew older.
Next Episode: It's Valentine's Day in Paris and love may in the air but so is heart break! Will Ladybug and her recently returned Cat Noir be able to help? Maybe?

Anyway, thanks for reading and review.
