Episode 0: Tikki
Tikki opened her eyes excitedly hoping to see Marinette's face.
It wasn't.
Instead she was met with bright blue eyes and blonde hair. Tikki froze trying to figure out what to say when the girl squealed, "A kwami?! Oh my god, your not just any kwami! Your Ladybug's kwami!"
This statement startled Tikki, "You know about kwamis?"
The girl got up jumping with excitement, "Yeah! My mom is….was Queen Bee! I basically grew up with Pollen as an unofficial nanny!"
This was confusing Tikki, was this Chloé Bourgeois's daughter? Was this little Sophie Léon? If so then it had been over 10 years since she had been awake.
"Wait!" Sophie (?) exclaimed, "If this box belonged to Marinette Agreste and you were in it….omg...she was Ladybug! I'm dating Ladybug's son! Oh my god!"
Tikki sighed, getting a little lost. But she thought she might be getting idea of what was going on, "Louis gave the Miraculous to you?"
The blonde excitedly nodded, "Louis gave it to me. He thought it was a replica of Ladybug's ear rings. He found it while cleaning out a spare room at his grandparents. He gave it to me, he's my boyfriend, since I've been down since my mother's Miraculous was stolen."
That caught the Kwami's attention, "Wait! What? Someone stole Pollen and the comb?!"
Sophie nodded all her enthusiasm seemed to slip away, "Yeah, it happened two weeks ago. They stole Ryuko's too. Wait…"
The teenager looked slowly at the kwami. Tikki stared blanking back, not processing this information of how she ended up here and what was happening.
"Can you help me?!" Sophie asked suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Can you help me get the Miraculous back?!" Sophie asked with a smile, "Can I be Ladybug?!"
Tikki blinked confused, "Huh?"
The kwami and girl looked at eachother one. One with raising confusion and one with raising concern. Tikki looked at the girl then looked deeply at her with her senses and saw a chi familiar to what all the pasts Ladybug's had.
"I suppose. I have to rescue all my friends but you've got to tell me what happened since I've been in hibernation."
"Thank you."
….
Meanwhile across town Louis Agreste groaned annoyed as he looked down at his phone confused why Sophie wasn't answering his texts.
"Louis, you sure you don't want your dad's ring?" Tom asked as he held up the replica Cat Noir ring
The boy glared at the ring and thought of the Agreste family money that probably bought it, "No, just give it to Emma when she gets here."
Tom shrugged at his grandson and went to put it up for Emma's arrival next week.
…..
Later that night, when Sophie was asleep, the Ladybug earrings now camouflaged gold in her ears, Tikki sat on the window still thinking about her lost time and lost friends and wondering about the fate of Plagg.
