#swap week

"Wait" Rena Rouge's voice was filled with some concern. "Shouldn't we tell each other something about our kwamis before we go on separate days? Like their favorite food? I mean… Trixx likes chili peppers, for the one who got her"

"I would be at ease with that" Carapace's voice admitted. From Marinette's left, she could hear Queen Bee give a little huff and Chat Noir a little chuckle.

"Well, Tikki like chocolate chip cookies, for whoever's interested" Marinette found herself saying.

"Wayzz likes pistachios" Carapace added.

"Pistachios? Disgusting" Queen Bee said. "But, since we're doing it, just get Pollen honey"

"Hmm, the bee kwami likes honey, what a pleasant surprise" Chat Noir commented.

"Shut up, mangy cat, what does you kwami eat, anyway? Milk? Mice? Dead birds- why are you laughing Ladybug?"

"My Lady's laughing because she knows that Plagg likes Camembert" Marinette could hear the smirk in Chat's voice as she attempted to calm down her laugh.

"Gross" Queen Bee muttered.

"I know"

"Okay, Marinette, it's just a box with another kwami, nothing to be concerned about" the young designer said to herself once she was at home.

Taking a deep breath to ease her nerves, she opened the box. Marinette only caught sight of the Fox Necklace before an orange light appeared. Once it faded, the teenage girl found herself staring at a little fox with purple eyes and a mischievous grin on its face.

"Hiya! I'm Trixx!" the kwami introduced herself. Marinette smiled.

"Hello, Trixx, I'm Marinette… although you already know that, didn't you?" she said in greeting.

"Oh yes, Master Fu told me about you, you helped him do the test for Alya!" Trixx said excitedly. "Man, you have no idea the fun I'm having knowing you're Ladybug! It's a pleasure teasing her, really"

"So foxes really are mischievous as they say" Marinette pointed out with a blank look as she put on the necklace. "I kinda thought it was a matter of speech, to be honest"

"You should worry if we weren't" Trixx said as she flew all over the room. "My, you really have a fancy little lair"

"Thanks" Marinette said. She bit her lip. "Er, are you hungry? Alya did say you like chili peppers, and Maman just bought some"

Trixx eyes sparkled.

"Oh yes! Yes please! I need my chili peppers if you want to transform into an awesome hero!" she said as she spinned around Marinette in excitement.

Marinette smirked.

"I thought I already was"

An hour later, Marinette hoped out of the window in her new temporary suit.

It was weird, not having her yoyo but a flute in hand as she ran across the rooftops towards the Eiffel Tower.

But there was still the wonderful feeling of excitement and adrenaline running through her body, completely eliminating the feeling of anxiety that was bothering her in Fu's shop.

She arrived at the Eiffel Tower, finding a familiar looking blond at the edge. But instead of a full black cat suit, he wore a black and yellow suit with stripes. His hair was in a small half bun in order to hold the Bee Comb.

"Chat… Noir?" she still asked with a little smile of amusement.

"Well, actually," he said turning to her, "I'm calling myself Sting, for now at lea-" He stopped mid-sentence, his green eyes opened wide as he took in her new suit. Marinette found herself admiring for the first time his eyes though: they no longer looked cat like, and instead look very familiar…

But she couldn't place where she had seen those eyes before.

"You… you look nice, My Lady" Chat- No, Sting said. She blushed slightly.

"Um, thanks" she said as she fidget with the necklace, "You can call me Húlí for now"

Sting smiled, but before he could say something else, another pair of footsteps made themselves known on the platform.

"Okay, Chat Noir or whatever you're calling yourself right now, how much cheese does you kwami eat?!"

Sting and Húlí turned to look at the brown skinned girl with the bad luck enough to receive the Black Cat Ring. She looked good in the black cat suit and her hazel eyes made a nice contrast with the green sclerae.

"A lot, and before you ask, no, he doesn't stop" Sting said.

"I respected you before, but I respect you even more now" she said. "Oh, and by the way, call me Solanacée for the moment" she added with a wink. Sting and Húlí chuckled.

"Okay, we only need Carapace and Queen Bee to show up and-" Húlí started to say before she got interrupted by an angry set of stomps.

The three turned to look at a green hero with blonde hair and a scowl on her face.

"If any of you say something, I will murder you" she said. "Just call me Jade"

"Aw, come on Jade, you don't look bad" Solanacée said.

"I wanted the earrings" Jade whined. "I deserved the earrings, no one's worthy enough to have them but me"

"And Ladybug, who's me" Húlí said with a raised eyebrow, while glaring at Sting, who was attempting to stifle his laughter.

"Cheer up Jade, I wanted to be LB too, and instead I got you! And I'm not complaining, I think I'm rocking the man bug and the comb" Sting said as he made a pose. Húlí was once again, struck with a sense of familiarity.

"In fact, you could say, that I look beeutiful" Sting continued to say. Húlí softly smiled at the pun while simultaneously rolling her eyes. Different Miraculous, same pun lover.

Jade groaned.

"I will kill you" she said as she reached for the shield on her back. But she got interrupted by the arrival of Carapace.

With an exited look on his face, he made his way to the rest of the team while playing with the polka-dotted yoyo while sporting a goofy smile on his face.

"Dudes, this yoyo is awesome! And to be honest, Tikki is a real sweetheart, she really liked my mom's cookies" he said.

"Looking good there, uh… what name are you going to use?" Solanacée asked.

"Uh… Beetle, call me Beetle" he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well, Beetle," Jade hissed, "You have a lovely pair of earrings there in your head" she said as she slowly walked towards him.

"Oh, boy" Sting muttered as he watched the scene.

Beetle paled slightly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked.

"Like what?" Jade asked.

"Like I stole something from you?"

"THAT'S BECAUSE I SHOULD BE WEARING THOSE EARRINGS!" and with that said, Jade charged at Beetle, who in turn jumped out of the Eiffel Tower.

"Okay… uh, someone should stop Jade from killing Beetle…." Sting said as he made his way the edge.

"Oh no, you're not stopping this, you said it yourself, the night got more interesting thanks to this" Solanacée threatened.

"Not if Jade murders Beetle" Sting pointed out. Solanacée laughed a bit.

"True" and with that said, the cat and the bee jumped the tower, leaving behind an amused Húlí alone.

"Well… this are going to be an interesting two days" she muttered as Beetle and Jade's screams, along with Solanacée and Sting's laughs filled the Parisian night.

AND IT'S A WRAP! Thank you @imthepunchlord for creating this amazing week, it was fun to write different people with the canon Miraculouses and I can’t wait to do it again sometime.

Meaning of names:

Húlí = Chinese for Fox

A feeling of dread soon formed on his stomach.

"He wanted me to inform you that a new meeting is to be held on London, so-"

"-So he won't be able to come home, again, and spend some time with me, again" Adrien finished, having grown used to hearing the same answer for a while. "I understand, Nathalie" he said, his voice almost a whisper.

The woman's face softened a little.

"I'm sorry, Adrien" she said.

"It's not your fault" he said, eyes looking over to the windows while Nathalie took this as a sign to exit the room. Walking over to the couch, Adrien sat down, his right hand going over to his left ear, rubbing the black earrings in order to bring some sense of comfort.

"I don't even know why I keep hoping he will actually show up" he muttered. Tikki flew out of her hiding spot, taking a set on his left shoulder.

"He will, Adrien. I know he will, one day" she said, attempting to lift his spirits.

A shadow passed through the window, making both human and Kwami nearly jump. Adrien quickly recognized his partner as she went patrolling the city.

The feeling of dread quickly became one of needing to get out.

"Tikki, transform me" he said. A flash of pink and he was soon out of his room, chasing the girl with wild blue hair and a cat costume in his red and polka-dotted black costume.

Both of them made a landing on a rooftop.

"Chat Sombre" he curtly bowed to the girl, surprising her.

"Coléoptère Rouge" she returned with a nod and small smile. "I thought I was going to patrol alone today" she said, tilling her head to the side.

"Well, Princess, what if I told you that I can't live without your prrresence in my life?" he asked with a sly smile as he walked over to Chat. She rolled her eyes.

"You know, my Kwami is really amused over the fact that the one who makes the cat puns is you, not me" Chat Sombre replied as she walked over to the edge of the roof and sat down, her partner soon following.

"I think you should, you have no idea how much you're missing without the puns!" Coléoptère Rouge said. Chat gave him a light glare.

"But really, Bug, what are you doing out here tonight?" she asked.

"Curiosity killed the cat" Coléoptère Rouge said.

"And satisfaction brought it back" Chat Sombre replied, a smirk on her face. However, it soon left her lips as she studied her partner. Coléoptère Rouge was known for being a bit impulsive in battle, he liked to flirt with her (she was sure he had a crush on her), gave puns and puns and never looked weak or sad.

But now… his shoulders were slumped, his green eyes were locked on the ground. It didn't take a genius to realize something was bothering him.

She suddenly felt bad for asking.

"I'm sorry, you don't have to say anything, I-"

"No, no… it's okay" Coléoptère Rouge reassured her. He forgot how observant she was.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Chat asked.

"Not really" he admitted. "But… do you mind staying here? For a little while?" he asked, voice almost wavering.

Chat Sombre placed her hand over his. "Of course"

For a moment, his bright green eyes were locked with her blue-bell ones, and he sees a protective look that's willing to fight the darkness that must be responsible for his sadness. Like a beacon of light.

Like a flare.

"Thanks, Princess"

"You're welcome, Bug"

There's a light swap in the nicknames Adrien/Chat Noir gives Marinette/Ladybug and the Ladyblog's name got changed to simply be Miracu-Blog.

Meaning of names:

Coléoptère Rouge = Red Beetle

Sabrina Raincomprix sighed as she entered her room.

Today had been a weird day.

…well, weirder if you take into consideration the fact that Paris had its own superheroes and occasional villains.

First, on her way to school, she had prevented a fight with two men over an old man. She didn't really know what caused the fight, but attempted to play peace keeper anyway. It worked, to her surprise, and both men left on good terms, with the older man congratulating her before leaving.

Then, at school, she had noticed Marinette and Adrien giving her some odd looks before whispering to themselves. She only caught hold of snippets like, "It would be good for her" and "Aren't butterflies supposed to mean change? She could be the one", and the one that confused her more, "At the end is Fu's decision".

At least, she was finally home.

Walking over to her desk, Sabrina started to take out her notebooks when she took notice of a strange little box on top of her laptop.

There was no note.

Curiosity got the best of her and before she knew it, there was a flash of purple and suddenly there was a tiny little lilac creature that looked a lot like a butterfly.

For a moment, Sabrina started at the creature. The creature stared back.

And then she started to scream.

Several minutes later, Sabrina learned that:

The little creature's name was Nooroo.

He was a kwami, thousands of years old.

The little jewel inside the box, a brooch with a purple button and with four light pink strands of fabric coming out from it that resembled a butterfly, was called a Miraculous.

She, Sabrina Raincombrix, had been chosen to be the new hero of Paris.

She also learned the tragic little past Nooroo had, and was for a moment, fearful that she would become a villain like Hawk Moth.

"No" Nooroo said, "Hawk Moth was not worthy. He found me and misused me, the brooch's powers are meant to create temporary heroes, not villains" he explained.

"But… how do you know I'm worthy?" Sabrina asked, "I used to be horrible to some people"

"Are you now?" Nooroo asked.

"No" Sabrina said, "Well, at least I don't think so. I try to be nicer to my classmates, because I was mean to them with my friend Chloe, but that changed a while ago"

BOOM!

An explosion shook the city, which only meant that an Akuma had appeared.

"If you want to fully change, this is your chance" Nooroo said with a smile.

And that's how Sabrina found herself standing in her room with a magenta, lilac and purple outfit, with a mask on her face and a cane in her hand.

She had her eyes closed, trying to find a champion to help the other heroes. According to the news, the new Akuma was a visiting professional skater that had been caught in a compromising position and had been disqualified from the competition.

"As much as I don't like to admit it, there's one thing you need to do the same way Hawk Moth did: you need to find strong emotions. The difference being that the more positive, the better. Negative emotions can also be used, but you will have to convince the person harder to help" Nooroo explained.

Strong emotions…. Hmm.

She could only sense terror….

Sabrina suddenly stopped. Someone was terrified, yet determined.

There is was.

She made a white butterfly come to her and following Nooroo's instructions, made the insect glow in power. The now lilac butterfly flew away through her window to search for its new host. Soon a connection was formed, and Sabrina felt another transparent mask appear on her face.

"Hello…"

The heroes were quite startled when the new akuma, Sharp Blade, was hit with an ice shard in the face that came out of nowhere.

"What the…?" Ladybug said as she turned to look at the direction the ice shard came from. She and the rest of the team gasped. Another skater, dressed like he was going to give a Yuri! On Ice performance, had appeared and was holding more shards. But what caught their attention was the glowing butterfly mask on the face.

"Hello, my name is Swift and I will be your temporary team mate in this battle, courtesy of your new Miraculous partner, Papillon" he said bowing as the mask disappeared.

While Queen Bee, Rena Rouge and Carapace kept gaping, Ladybug and Chat Noir shared a look of happiness.

"Looks like Nooroo has found a new home" Chat Noir said.

From a safe distance, Fu smiled.

"Good luck, Papillon"
