Elisa

I woke up with Luka's arms around me. Heh, even in his sleep, he doesn't want to let go of me. I do admit, it's so sweet.

"Luka, time to wake up, love." I pecked his lips.

Luka tightened his grip on me. "Stay. Want to hold you."

That was adorable. Luka can be very sweet. It makes me happy knowing we have many things in common, such as our love of music. He's a guitarist, and I'm a flutist.

"Luka, as much as I want to stay in bed with you too, we have to get up."

We then heard a gigantic explosion from outside. Luka and I got up, ran onto the balcony and got the biggest surprise. A girl made of lava was throwing magma balls and terrorizing the citizens.

Luka pulled me back into my room and shut the balcony doors. "That looks like an akuma! Elisa, I reckon you know what that means."

I nodded. "Suuiren, shake your feathers!"

Suuiren went into my Miraculous, and I transformed into Crystal Cygne.

"Be safe, my love." Luka kissed me.

"I will."

I made sure no one outside was in my line of sight before opening the balcony doors and flying off.

When I joined up with Ladybug and Cat Noir, they were fighting the firey villain.

"Hey!" I snapped. "Cease fire! Who are you anyway?"

"I am Lava Girl! My next target is... Your Miraculous!"

I groaned in annoyance. "Stupid Hawk Moth..." I turned to my teammates. "Any idea where the akuma might be?"

Ladybug narrowed her eyes at Lava Girl. "Hmmm... It's gotta be in her hairclip."

I needed to create a diversion so Ladybug could use her Lucky Charm. I perked up. I had an idea.

"Hey, Hothead!" I waved my scepter in the air tauntingly. "Want my Miraculous? Come and get me first!"

While Lava Girl was occupied with me, Ladybug used her Lucky Charm, which created a water gun.

I watched as Ladybug disoriented Lava Girl with the water gun, and Cat Noir snatched the hairclip and used his Cataclysm on it. Ladybug then captured and purified the akuma.

"Pound it!" Our fists met in the middle.

"What happened?" Asked a lilac haired girl with dazzling blue eyes. Wait... She looks familiar. Oh! Now I recognize her! It's Lily Robinson, a girl who Sakura and I played with during our childhood! I really wanted to hug her, but my identity must be kept secret.

"Hawk Moth akumatized you." Ladybug explained. "But you're ok now."

Cat Noir's ring beeped. "I've gotta scat. See you later, Crystal. And I'll see you around as well, My Lady."

Ladybug rolled her eyes. "You too, Kitty. I'll see you around, Crystal."

I nodded. "You too." The three of us went our separate ways.

When I returned to my room and detransformed, Luka had the TV on, and was waiting for me to return home safe.

"Luka, I'm back."

Luka hopped off the bed and kissed my cheek and then my lips.

"What was the villain called, Elisa?"

"Lava Girl." I replied. I then gasped, remembering who had been akumatized. "But it turns out, the akuma victim was Lily Robinson, an old friend of mine and Sakura's! When we were children, the three of us would play together almost every day."

Luka cupped my cheek. "Well, why don't you go and see her?"

I sighed. "I will, but there's something you should know. These akumas are starting to get to me. I need a break for once."

Luka looked into my emerald eyes with a loving smile. "I know what will help you."

"What would that be?"

Luka held out his hand. "Meditate with me."

I smiled, instantly knowing that would make me feel better. I took hold of Luka's hand and sat on my bed with him.

I knew what to do, having done this with Suuiren once and several times when I was a little girl.

The two of us sat cross legged and tightened our grip on each other's hands a little bit. We closed our eyes and breathed deeply, clearing our minds of all negative energy.

After roughly ten minutes, we opened our eyes, feeling more refreshed and calm.

Suddenly, Luka got a text on his phone. It was from his mother.

"Elisa, Mom wants me home. I'll see you tomorrow."

"You too, my love."

When Luka took off, I went downstairs to tell my parents I was going for a walk. I intended to go and see Lily.

"Hello, Crystal Cygne."

I gasped and turned around, only to see... Hold up! It's the same old man I saved from falling when I first arrived in Paris! But how did he know my secret identity?!

"How do you...?"

"Come with me, and I will tell you everything."

I walked with the old man to an isolated building. It said 'Wang Fu's Massage Shop'.

When we were alone in the building, a small turtle kwami emerged from a gramophone.

"Elisa, this is Master Fu." Said the turtle kwami. "He's the last Guardian of the Miraculous."

"This is my kwami, Wayzz." Master Fu introduced me to Wayzz. "Please sit down."

"Are you the one who brought my Miraculous to me?"

Master Fu nodded. "I did. When you showed me your kindness and gave me a piece of Russian chocolate, I knew I found the right person for the Swan Miraculous." His face turned grim. "However, this is not the only reason why I brought you here. Come with me."

I followed Master Fu into the back of the Massage Shop. He brought over a tray of seven small glass bottles, each containing a different colored liquid.

"When a kwami is fed a certain blend of ingredients, he or she can grant special powers. For example, the blue potion can give you ice abilities, and the green potion can give you the ability to swim and breathe underwater. But kwamis are forbidden to know the recipes, should they be captured by a villain like Hawk Moth."

I nodded. "Ok."

"Do you have a special hiding place for the potions, Elisa?"

"A box with a lock that can be opened by a special key. I also have a hiding place for the key; my purse."

Master Fu gave me a friendly smile. "That's good. You can go back home now. I'll come and find you if I need to see you again."

"Ok." I let Suuiren out of my purse and put the potion bottles inside.

"Hello, Wayzz. Nice to see you again!" Suuiren gave Wayzz a hug.

"You too, Suuiren."

Suuiren dove back in my purse.

When I left the Massage Shop, I realized how late it was getting.

"Mom and Dad are going to want me back home. Oh well. I'll see Lily tomorrow."

When I returned home, I ate dinner with my parents. I then went up to my room to unlock my secret box. I put the potion bottles inside before closing the box and locking it. I then put the key in my purse.

I went to bed that night, unaware that tomorrow would be very eventful.


Sakura

Today is the day. I'm finally moving to Paris with Mom and Dad!

"Sakura, as much as I want to meet your parents, your identity must be kept secret. On the other hand, part of your powers involve summoning magical boys and girls, but only in extreme emergencies. And when it is necessary, you can call on special weapons and new forms."

"Wow! I'm a magical girl!" I struck a Sailor Moon pose.

Fluff laughed. "Oh, Sakura, you are so funny!"

I looked at my phone, realizing what time it was. "Fluff, get in my purse. We have a plane to catch."

Fluff dove into my purse. "Sakura, don't forget your Miraculous!"

I pulled out a pink and blue anklet with a bunny face from the red box. I then put the box in my purse and put on the anklet.

"Sakura, sweetie, we have to go!" Dad called to me.

"Coming, Dad!" I replied, opening the door and looking at my room for the last time.

I shut the door and went downstairs to meet up with my parents.

"Are you ready to start your new life in France?"

I smiled the biggest smile in my life. "You bet, Mom! I've been dying to see Elisa again."

After taking one last look at our home, we went to the airport, got through security, and boarded the plane.

As usual, we got first class seats, because my father is extremely famous and wealthy. However, this time around, we got it for free.

The plane took off, and I pulled out my phone. I put on an episode of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers.

Since I had my own enclosed space, Fluff was allowed to come out.

"Hey, Fluff, want to watch this with me?"

"Sure!" Fluff sat on my head. She then pointed to a character she apparently recognized. "I know them!"

"Fluff, you know Caro, Erio, Teana and Subaru? I thought they were entirely fictional!"

Fluff shook her head. "Nope. I've met all the magical boys and girls you could ever think of."

The rabbit kwami was then interrupted by a knock on the door. Fluff hid in my purse, and the flight attendant entered with a box of mochi. "Thank you for flying with us."

I took the box with a nod. "Thank you, Miss."

"Anytime." The flight attendant closed the door.

Fluff caught a whiff of the mochi, and flew out of my purse. "Fluff, you love mochi?"

"Any type of it. I'm not picky like Plagg."

"Plagg? Who is this Plagg you speak of?"

"Remember two nights ago, how I told you about Ladybug, Cat Noir and Crystal Cygne?"

I flashed a smile at my kwami. "Yes."

"They have kwamis too. Ladybug's is Tikki, Cat Noir's is Plagg, and Crystal Cygne's is Suuiren. Anyway, these three kwamis have different personalities. Tikki is very nice, Suuiren is calm, and Plagg can sometimes be a jerk. He's got this obsession with a cheese called Camembert. Last time I saw him, we had a nasty fight. He thought I was crazy when I told him I had met the magical boys and girls. Ever since Hawk Moth began wreaking havoc, I haven't seen Plagg or Tikki at all. Suuiren left a little more than a week ago. It was when you made your wish that Master Fu sent me to you, all the way from the stars."

"Um..." I tapped my chin. "Who's Master Fu?"

"You'll meet him when the time is right."

Two hours later, we landed at the airport in Paris. I could see the news crew and paparazzi everywhere I looked.

The other passengers departed the plane first. Mom, Dad and I were the last to go.

The news crew surrounded my father and asked him questions.

"Why did you grace us with your family's presence?"

"Well, my daughter wanted to start attending a public school, and a dear friend of hers also moved here recently." Dad answered.

"Does your daughter know any self-defense techniques?"

"When we lived in Moscow, Sakura would train with the monks in Asia. She'd go there every summer. Sort of like a summer camp."

André Bourgeois, the mayor of Paris, helped shoo the reporters away. Beside him was a blonde girl about my age. I could tell she was a spoiled brat. But I'm used to spoiled brats. I'm nicer.

Mayor Bourgeois turned to the girl. "Chloé, come over and say hello!"

The girl, Chloé, joined her father.

"Sakura, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, meet my daughter, Chloé."

"Hi." I waved to Chloé.

"Oh, good. You speak English." Chloé said.

"Now, now, Chloé. Is that the way to treat our new guests?" Mayor Bourgeois gently reprimanded Chloé.

"How well do you drive in China?" Chloé questioned.

"Excuse me," Said my father. "We are not Chinese. We are Japanese."

"What's the difference?" Chloé spat.

Mayor Bourgeois stepped in between Chloé and my family. "Chloé, what did I say about making newcomers feel welcome?"

Chloé sighed. "All right then. Welcome to Paris. I hope you like it."

When Mayor Bourgeois and Chloé were out of earshot, Dad turned to Mom.

"Don't her parents teach her any manners? Heck, she doesn't even know the difference between Japanese people and Chinese people."

It took us five minutes to get on the monorail and into the airport building. When I saw the sign for a bathroom, I turned to my parents.

"Mom, Dad, I need to cry in the bathroom."

Dad patted my shoulder. "It's ok to cry, Sakura."

I ran into a private bathroom, shut and locked the door, and cried in front of the toilet.

"Sakura?" Fluff sat on my shoulder. "What's wrong? Is it that Chloé girl?"

"Yes." I sobbed. "It's Chloé this and Chloé that! She doesn't even know how to be nice!"

"I understand how hard it is to contain your emotions. They build up and build up until you can't keep it in anymore."

I pulled out a paper towel and blew my nose. "Thank you for the pep talk, Fluff. I'm glad you're my kwami."

Two more hours passed, and we just got settled into the best looking mansion ever! It was a cross between a temple and a castle! It even has a private hot spring! The movers even brought all the furniture and other things all in one day.

Right now, Fluff and I were up in my new room. It was much bigger than my room in my old home.

"So, I never mentioned this two nights ago, but kwamis must eat to regain their energy. For example, Tikki likes cookies, Plagg likes Camembert, and Suuiren likes honeysuckles. I like mochi! Any type of flavor! Heh, I believe I mentioned that to you."

I winked. "Yes, you did. So, do I have a special weapon when I transform?"

"Yes. You have a katana. You can also use wish cards when the situation calls for it. However, they're so powerful that only one per battle can be used. In extremely hard circumstances, the maximum number of cards is ten."

"What will my superhero name be?"

"Cottontail. And don't forget your special power, Starstruck. When you use it, you dash toward your enemy with your katana, and the closer you get, the more stars you get. That'll make your attack more powerful. It'll temporarily disorient your enemy, maybe even weaken your enemy if you're lucky."

"So... What do I say to transform?"

"You say 'Fluff, hop to it!'"

I took a deep breath and said "Fluff, hop to it!"

Fluff went into my anklet, and I transformed into Cottontail. My outfit was a pink dress with white ruffles on the sleeves, and blue tights with white stars. My hair was black and white with blue streaks, and my mask was white. My green flats were replaced with short heels: one pink and one blue. I had white bunny ears, and boy did I look good.

Wait, what am I hearing? I heard a scream and someone say "Judgement Day is here!"

"Tell them about Judgement Day, Terminator Girl!" Said another voice.

I looked out my window and gasped at what I saw. I saw a robotic teenager point a shotgun at a random person. I then saw a shady looking usher with movie tapes all over the body. He threw a ticket at another random person, turning him into a taller version of the killer doll Chucky.

It looks like this villain can turn people into movie characters, mostly villains! Well, time for my first battle!

I opened the window, jumped down onto the street, and made a rabbit hole. When I emerged from the hole, I was in another part of the city. When I saw the movie tapes villain come back, I made another rabbit hole and jumped in. I emerged from this hole on the top of a roof. I saw a blonde haired boy in a cat suit, a blue pigtailed girl in a ladybug suit, and a platinum blonde haired girl in a swan suit. Were they Ladybug, Cat Noir and Crystal Cygne? Wait a minute... They're fake!

"Going somewhere, bunny rabbit?"

I turned and saw the movie tapes villain in front of me.

"What have you done with them?" I demanded.

"I'm holding them hostage. My name is MovieManiac, and are you ready to play a game, white rabbit?"

I smirked. "Sure."

"Let the game begin!" Said MovieManiac.


Elisa

I woke up in a strange room. I suddenly recognized it as the abandoned warehouse where I revealed my identity to Luka. The last thing I remember is MovieManiac knocking me out... Wait, where are Ladybug and Cat Noir?

"You all right, Crystal?" Said a familiar voice. I looked to my left and saw Ladybug chained to the wall. Cat Noir was chained on my right.

"I'm fine." I replied.

"What about you, Cat Noir?"

Cat Noir smirked. "At least I'm chained to you, Bugaboo."

"Ugh..." Groaned Ladybug.

I snickered. I could already imagine Luka under a mask, calling me a cute name like that.

The TV that was in front of us flickered and turned on by itself. MovieManiac popped his head out of the TV.

"Well, well, well. Today's your lucky day. I've got a little mouse caught in my trap. Or should I say bunny rabbit? She only has two hours to save you. Oh, wait. I've made sure that is impossible. And it won't be long before your Miraculous are mine! And as for you, little minx, time starts now!"

The TV turned off. I started to worry about Luka. Was he ok?

Apparently, Ladybug sensed my worry. "Crystal, what's wrong?"

I made a cover-up to keep my identity a secret. "It's Luka's girlfriend, Elisa Krelborn-Fulquard. She asked me to keep him safe. I've failed her."


Sakura

Well, this is interesting. An Indiana Jones movie trap, huh?

But there's one thing this villain does not know: I know how to slip through traps like these. Whether or not I'm in the mask and suit, I can defend myself. Better watch out, MovieManiac, I'm going to save my teammates!

The first trap was very easy, with the poison darts. I was able to use my ninja skills to prevent myself from getting hit by those darts.

The second trap involved creatures from the movie Predator. I knew what the aliens' weaknesses were, so I was able to defeat them in less than two minutes.

The third trap was the Minotaur, the creature that appeared in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I defeated him with just kicks to the face and a slice by my katana.

Trap number four involved the original TRON movie. I had to use a motorcycle to defeat the villains.

The fifth and final trap involved the Stephen King movie IT. I had to face my worst fear: a tsunami. I used my super jump skills to hop over the gigantic wave and confront Pennywise himself.

"Beep beep, Richie."

I glared, slicing off the clown's arm with my katana. "I am NOT Richie!"

Suddenly, Pennywise turned into... Mayor Bourgeois?

"Mayor Bourgeois, you're fine now. I am Cottontail, new accomplice to Ladybug and friends."

"Thank you, Cottontail. The last thing I remember is MovieManiac throwing a movie ticket at me."

I closed my eyes and used another one of my special powers to sense the presence of my teammates. I detected their energy in an abandoned warehouse.

I busted the doors open and broke the chains binding my friends to the wall.

Cat Noir smiled. "I have you to thank for saving us, um..."

"I'm Cottontail. Your trio just became a quartet."

"Thank you, Cottontail." Said Crystal Cygne.

"You're welcome. Now, I believe that the four of us have business to get to."

The four of us stood our ground as MovieManiac came through the TV like Samara in The Ring.

"How did you defeat all of my traps?!" MovieManiac pointed at me with the deadliest glare I've ever seen.

I wasn't fazed. I just smirked. "It's different compared to you."

That set him off. "Hand over your Miraculous! All of you!"

"Never!" The four of us yelled, drawing our weapons.

MovieManiac charged, and I leaped at him with my katana. He threw a ticket at me, but I dodged and landed a kick to his face.

Cat Noir was amazed. "That's one angry rabbit."

I then turned to Crystal Cygne. "Now, use your scepter!"

Crystal Cygne nodded and waved her scepter in a music note pattern before singing several notes into it like a microphone. She then called out "Swan Song!"

While Crystal Cygne was occupied with MovieManiac, Ladybug used her Lucky Charm.

"A rabbit keychain? What will that do?" Ladybug questioned. She then used her vision to come up with a plan, and she turned to me.

"Cottontail, the time is now. Throw the keychain at him, then use your attack!"

I threw the keychain at MovieManiac, getting his attention. I then waved my katana and used my power for the first time.

"Starstruck!"

While running at my enemy, I raised my katana to the sky, summoning light energy from the stars in space. The white beam knocked MovieManiac to the ground.

Cat Noir snatched the hat from MovieManiac's head and used his Cataclysm on it. The akuma flew out, and Ladybug opened up her yo-yo.

"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma." She swung the yo-yo and captured the akuma with it.

"Time to de-evilize!"

I smiled, my heart filled with joy at being able to work with Ladybug and her teammates.

"Gotcha!" Ladybug released the purified akuma. "Bye bye, little butterfly." She then used her Miraculous Ladybug power to return the city back to normal.

The four of us did what I learned was our signature fist bump. "Pound it!"

I then heard a beeping noise. I had little time left before my transformation wore off.

"Well, looks like I need to hop into the rabbit hole!" I created a rabbit hole and jumped inside. It took me into my room, where I detransformed.

Fluff flew out of my anklet and up in front of me with a big smile. "Sakura, that was amazing!"

I laughed sheepishly. "Thanks. I'm surprised I knew what to do, even though this was my first battle."

I fed Fluff a piece of mochi before letting her in my purse.

I headed downstairs to speak to Mom. "Hey, Mom, is it ok if I go find Elisa?"

"Sure, sweetie." Mom flashed me a smile.

I winked and left the house to find my best friend.


Elisa

I flew onto the balcony and ran into my room to detransform. Like with Lava Girl, Luka was watching the TV while waiting for me.

Upon seeing me, Luka hopped off the bed and pulled me in for a long and passionate kiss.

"I'm glad you're ok."

"Elisa! Luka!" Mom knocked on the door. "May I come in?"

"Sure." I replied.

Mom opened the door. "Elisa, there's someone here to see you!"

I raised my eyebrows. Who was it?

Luka and I went downstairs, and I got the greatest shock of my life.

"S-Sakura?"

Sakura turned around, and a huge grin blossomed on her face.

"Elisa!"

Sakura ran over to me, and I met her halfway. We shared the biggest hug in our lives.

When we separated, I widened my eyes. "But, how are you here? Are you visiting?"

Sakura shook her head. "Nope! I convinced Mom and Dad to move us here. One: I missed you too much. Two: I wanted to go to a public school. Three: our new home has a private hot spring."

"That's wonderful! Hey, do you remember Lily Robinson?"

Sakura nodded. "Yes, I do!"

"She got akumatized by Hawk Moth into Lava Girl, and Ladybug and her teammates defeated her!"

"That's cool. Wait, did you say Lily is here? In Paris?"

"Yes!" I grinned like an idiot. "Can we go see her?"

Sakura smirked. "And reform the Flower Trio? Absolutely!"

I turned to my boyfriend. "Luka, if you want to come with, you can."

Luka nodded. "I certainly will."

"Hey, Mom! The three of us are heading off to see an old friend. I'll be back in an hour or two."

"Have fun, you guys!" Mom called back.

We walked for roughly five minutes until we saw a girl with lilac purple hair exiting the Dupain-Cheng bakery. She was wearing a rainbow colored dress under a white shrug. I knew it was Lily. We ran over to greet her.

"Hey, Lily!"

Lily turned around. When she saw us, a look of fear crossed her face. She stepped back.

"Who are you?! I don't know you! How do you know my name?! How do you-" She stopped and took a closer look at us. "Elisa?! Sakura?!"

"Yes, it's us." I smiled, happy that Lily remembered us.

"Hello!" Sakura waved to Lily.

I thought I saw a blush on Lily's face.

"Oh... Um... Well... Hi."

"Hey, remember the old Flower Trio chant?"

"I certainly do!" Lily put her hand in the center. Sakura and I put our hands on top of hers. The three of us chanted together:

"Once the Flower Trio, always the Flower Trio! Pow! Straight to the sun!"

On 'pow, straight to the sun', we raised our hands to the sky.

Lily pulled out her phone. "It's Mom. She and Dad want me home. I'm starting at Françoise Dupont High School tomorrow."

Sakura squealed. "No way! So am I!"

"Do you want us to walk you home?"

Lily smiled sweetly. "Oh, Elisa, that's very nice of you. I'm good though."

We watched as Lily walked home, waving goodbye to her.

I smirked to myself, having come up with a plan with Luka.

"Hey, Sakura, want to come with us to the park?"

"Oh, Elisa, I'd LOVE to see the park!"

I elbowed my best friend. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's beat!"


Sakura

It took ten minutes for Elisa, Luka and I to arrive at the park.

I saw a girl with dark blue hair in pigtails with a younger girl.

"Marinette, over here!" Elisa motioned to the girl.

"Oh, hi!" Said the pigtail girl, Marinette. She and the younger girl headed over to join our group.

"Sakura, this is Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She attends Françoise Dupont High School with us. The little girl is Manon Chamack. Marinette babysits her pretty often."

"Marinette, it's the princess!" Manon piped. "Mommy and I saw her on TV!"

"Yes, I am a real princess." I sweatdropped. "But that's another tale for another time."

"Welcome to Paris, Sakura!" I shook hands with Marinette. "When are you starting?"

"Tomorrow. Mine and Elisa's good friend Lily is also starting there."

Just then, I saw a boy with red hair walking by. He looked familiar to Marinette, Elisa and Luka.

"Nathaniel, come meet the new girl!" Marinette waved the boy over.

The boy, Nathaniel, was at our side in seconds.

"Sakura, this is Nathaniel Kurtzberg. He's in our class! Nathaniel, meet Sakura Morris. She's the princess of Japan!"

"Japan, huh?" Nathaniel held out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Sakura. I'm looking forward to getting to know you."

I shook his hand. "Same here."

I've got to admit, Nathaniel's rather cute. No, Sakura! What are you thinking?! You just met him!

I'll have to give Elisa a piece of my mind for this...
