“Marinette? (Name)’s here!” A large man called, receiving no response. “It’s alright Uncle Tom. She might be busy, I’m in no hurry.” (Name) said, sitting down on a stool. “Okay then, if you’re fine with it. I’ve got to hurry back into the bakery, Sabine is getting ingredients, I’m sure she’ll be back to greet you soon.” Tom said, walking backwards towards the door. (Name) simply waved as he closed the door, then looked up to Marinette’s hatch-door. A small red face poked through, spotting (Name) before disappearing back into Marinette’s room. “What the hell?” The boy mumbled, curious as to what that creature was and why it was in Marinette’s room. “Marinette?” (Name) called, knocking on Marinette’s door. “(Name)?!” The girl yelled, crashes following the voice, extremely worrying the boy. “Marinette?! Are you alright?!” The boy yelled, opening the door to check on his cousin. He almost completely ignored the other items on the ground, stepping over them to help the fallen Marinette. “Should I ask what happened here?” He asked, looking around after helping her up. “Maybe not?” She smiled sheepishly, trying to avoid questioning. “Is he gone? I can’t hear!” A small voice yelled, a small creature flying around the room, a second one almost tackling the first to get out of sight. “Marinette?” The boy asked, at this point he was wondering if he was dreaming. “Uh… Welcome back to Paris?” Marinette chuckled nervously.

”Okay, so you’re telling me you are a Parisian superhero named Ladybug. And the new guardian of the Miracle box which holds all of the Miraculous and their corresponding Kwamis?” (Name) asked. “Yes, except for the Moth and Peacock miraculous because both were lost a long time ago.” Marinette added, nodding. “I realize how insane this sounds, but—“ Marinette was cut off. “No I believe you.” Her cousin said, stopping her. “And the only reason I do, is because you saved my plane today. And right after that, “Ladybug”, meaning you, tripped over her own feet.” He explained. “Only you could save a plane and then fall flat on your face.” He said, patting her head before navigating through the crowd of Kwamis. “I’d also get those guys to hide for a while. Your mom just got home and I think your dad wants us both downstairs in the Bakery.” (Name) explained, opening Marinette’s hatch-door. “Right! Everyone, come on!” She yelled, hurriedly bringing the Kwamis back to the Miracle box. “It hasn’t even been thirty minutes since I got here.” The boy mumbled, descending the stairs.
