"Wake up, Marinette!" squeaked Tikki. "You'll be late!"
"Where do I go to school again?" mumbled Marinette.
"Um- the school down the street? Stop thinking about Adrien!" yelled Tikki.
Marinette sighed. "Adrien. . ."
"Snap out of it!"

"Plagg, get up!" hissed Adrien. "Marinette asked me to meet up with her in front of the bakery!"
Plagg groaned, and Adrien immediately pulled out a block of camembert and slid it into his schoolbag.
"CHEESE!!!" shouted Plagg as he dove into Adrien's bag.
Too easy, thought Adrien. He walked downstairs to greet Nathalie and Gorilla, but instead. . .
"Adrien, darling!" called Aunt Amelie from the other side of the room. "Good morning!"
Adrien groaned. "Morning. If you're here, where's-"
"Felix is speaking with your father, dearie," giggled Amelie.
Adrien looked at the portrait of his mother, and her identical twin, his aunt. He waved goodbye and headed for Marinette's.

"Felix."
"Yes, Uncle?" scoffed Felix, twisting his twin ring.
"You thought you had me outsmarted at the ball at which we last met. I'm sure you know how I bested you in the end."
Felix answered, "You are Shadow Moth, then." It wasn't a question.
"Not for long," sneered Gabriel. He held out his hand to Felix, and his hand held the Miraculous of the Butterfly and the Peacock. "If you're willing to bring out beloved back to us."
It took a moment, but Felix did take the Miraculous. "I will now become Slender Moth."
He transformed into a slick costume, meanwhile Gabriel wondered how he would be Slender Moth without anything but his Miraculous.
"The twin ring that I have is a Miraculous in camouflage mode, Uncle," said Felix. "Ghost, webs out!"
Felix's Slender Moth costume attained a webbed pattern and spider leg armor as a cape-like accessory.
"Very nice," Gabriel replied. He smiled, as evil as one could be. "Our beloved will be with us once again, very, very soon."
