Ladybug couldn't keep going. She tripped.
She fell.
And she couldn't get up.
"No...NO!" She screamed struggling to get up. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!"
The butterfly flew into her earrings.
And the purple outline was on her face.
With the...
"Marinette..." Chat started to sniff. "My mother...you remind me of my..."
"Mother..." Ladybug finished. "May I ask, what happened?"
"She ran away. She left. When I was only five..." he managed to breathe out. "And I...I..."
He looked at Ladybug's compassionate blue eyes.
"She told me to hide the peacock miraculous..." he said.
"But...you were five! How did you-"
"When I got the cat miraculous, I still didn't know what it was. When you said peacock miraculous I knew it was my mother's and she told me to hide...it..." he swallowed.
Ladybug frowned. "Do you know why?"
"I...never thought of that..." Chat swallowed.
"Now you do, do you know?" Ladybug asked eagerly.
"I think I'm feeling better!" Chat said his eyes shining. "And I think it's time to tell them where it is!"
***
"It's in the Agreste Mansion? How do you know?" Volpina asked.
"The hawkmoth miraculous was there, so it must have been in the Agreste Mansion too!"
"Lets g-"
"Hmm? LILA AND CHLOÉ!?" Ladybug cried.
Lila and Chloé tumbled out of a house and were looking up at the 5 superheroes.
"LADYBUG!" Lila cried. "You're the one that tore Adrien from me!"
"Ugh..." Ladybug groaned inwardly.
"This is great!" Pappilion cried excitedly.
"How?"
"Bee and Peacock miraculous!" she grinned.
"Oh yeah!" Chat cried. "We have to tell them who we-"
"No." Ladybug grinned.
Volpina blinked. "What?"
"Lets not, in fact, I think a miraculous has changed me, it can change these too! We can't tell them who we are though!" Ladybug grinned.
"Make Chloé and Lila...nice?" Pappilion said unbelieving.
"Lets go with this," Chat said immediately. "It might work!"
Turtle frowned unbelieving but shrugged it off.
"Chloé! Bee!" Ladybug cried.
She spun around and threw the bee hairslide to Chloé.
Chloé, surprisingly, caught it.
"What is this trash?" she asked.
"It's a miraculous!" Volpina grinned.
Chloé's eyes widened. "You want me to become...a superhero?"
"Yes, of course! You deserve it!" Ladybug winked at the others.
Chloé put it on and a kwami flew out.
"I'm Beine!" The beelike kwami said.
"Nice to meet you!"
"OMG Mari-I mean Ladybug you were right! Nice manners!" Volpina gasped.
"Transform me!" Chloé cried.

"She looks pretty!" Ladybug gasped.
"Yeah!" Chat grinned.
Happy with his childhood friend (for once).
"Queen Bee, come on! We have to get the peacock miraculous for Lila!" Turtle cried. "But...there's a problem..."
"What?"
"It's a male miraculous...but it's okay, not life threatening or anything!" Turtle grinned sheepishly.
"What can I do?" Queen Bee asked eagerly.
"You have an unlimited supply of stingers, they don't hurt, but distract!" Turtle said. "Come quickly, we have to get there!"
Ladybug swung her yoyo and wrapped Lila and carefully took her to the mansion.
"HEY I NEVER AGREED TO THIS!" Lila cried.
***
"We have to detransform!" Ladybug cried. Then glanced at Chloé and Lila. "I'm not ready to show them yet!"
"Very well, my lady, we'll go to my room and Chloé and Lila will wait outside!" Chat grinned.
"Your room?" Lila blinked.
"I mean Adrien's room!" Chat cried.
"Smooth." Volpina rolled her eyes.
Chloé and Lila had to wait outside.
They all ran into his room and locked the door.
"SPOTS OFF!"
"CLAWS IN!"
"FUR OFF!"
"WINGS DESCEND!"
"SHELL OFF!"
(Sorry, they're so cheesy!)
"Ooof..." Marinette sighed.
"Where's the miraculous!" Marinette asked, but mainly directing it to Adrien.
"I think it might be behind Father's painting!" Adrien cried. "Lets go!"
Adrien ran to the painting and opened the safe.
"Plagg, go." he whispered.
The kwami went into the safe and unlocked it.
Sure enough, the peacock miraculous was all there.
"What a lucky guess!" Nino cried.
Marinette winked at him. "UNlucky you mean!"
"We have to feed our kwamis!" Volpina cried. "Any food?"
***
Chloé looked at Beine happily.
"What do you like to eat?"
"I like sweet things like Tikki!"
Lila frowned. "Who's Tikki?"
"She's Ladybug's kwami!" Beine replied.
Right on cue, the heroes stepped out.
"Here, Lila!" Ladybug said and tossed it to her.
"Wait, how did you even know my name? I just arrived!"
Ladybug went red.
"It doesn't matter!" Chloé cried. "Put it on already!"
"Woah, it's been only 15 minutes and Chloé's changed!" Chat whispered.
"I thought nobody could do it!" Volpina whispered back.
"Can we know who you all are?" Lila asked clipping the miraculous.
Ladybug, still smiling, shook her head. "No, this is for your own good."
Lila nodded wisely. The kwami, boy, appeared.
"I'm Kess." he said."
Before he could continue, Lila cried the transforming words and there stood the superhero Peacock.
"Ladybug, is your kwami Tikki?" Peacock asked.
"Yes, how...do you know?" Ladybu asked nervously.
"Beine told me!" Chloé replied.
"We need your kwamis to save Paris!" Chat cried impatiently.
They both nodded.
They both detransformed. The kwamis followed the superheroes into the house. They didn't know what happened but they say a great flash of red that devoured Paris. And it returned back to normal like nothing happened.
