Dribble awoke the next morning. He got on his work uniform as per usual, and headed to the mess hall.

When he got there, it was oddly silent. Like everyone refused to speak. Curious and a bit concerned, he glanced over at Gabriel, who motioned Dribble to come over.

“What’s going on?” Dribble asked.

“You slept straight through the motive, so Monokuma decided to announce it without you.” Gabriel said. “And...this motive is the Miraculous.”

“Oh god, really?” Dribble asked, horrified.

“My reaction exactly.” Gabriel said. “These other Miraculouses were held by kids. Kids.”

“What the f*ck did Monokuma do to them!?” Dribble asked.

“Your guess is as good as mine.” Gabriel spoke. “But, you also missed the part where everyone, except me of course, were allowed to take a Miraculous.”

“...That means I get one of the ones that wasn't selected, don't I?” Dribble asked, and was answered by Gabriel handing him a familiar Miraculous.

It was a fox tail necklace.

“...Oh. I wonder why no one selected this one.” Dribble said.

“I have no idea either.” Gabriel said. “Just keep Trixx in check. He can be quite sassy and a trickster sometimes, as his name implies.”

“Oh don't worry, I will.” Dribble said. “...Also, for future reference, can I know who has what Miraculous?”

“Monokuma has compiled a list for that exact reason.” Gabriel said. “It should be in the ‘Motives’ App under the Current motive section.”

Dribble got his Monopod out and headed to the section Gabriel had instructed him to, and he saw the list of the Miraculouses and who had them.

‘Ladybug- Jimmy Thang (Hyperaspis)

Cat and Tiger- Holly Jean Toulon (Nekomata)

Butterfly and Peacock- Gabriel Agreste (ShadowMoth)

Turtle- Orbulon Zeptolab (Tortoise)

Fox- Dribble Sterre (Hero Title Undecided)

Mouse- Cobalt (Dormouse)

Ox- Big Man (Caracu)

Rabbit- Lucky (Prognosticator)

Dog and Rooster- Celene Lopéz (Ayam Anjing)

Goat- Natsuki Brodbeck (Yagi-Sozo)

All the rest remain unselected.’

“...is it possible I could have two like some of these?” Dribble asked.

“Yes, but be careful if you are gonna do that, as two Miraculouses means twice the strain on both you and your kwamis.” Gabriel said.

“Nevermind then.” Dribble said, placing the fox tail necklace on his neck.

He saw an orange energy form, and then saw Trixx form right in front of him. He was a small, fox-like creature with purple eyes.

“...Oh.” Trixx said after a bit of looking around. “Oh thank goodness.”

“Thank goodness for what?” Dribble asked.

Trixx looked like he was about to say, but a purple bubble formed in his mouth and was promptly spewed out by Trixx.

“The heck was that?” Dribble asked.

“That happens when I can't tell someone something, like, say, the name of another miraculous holder. Anyways, I'm Trixx, and you are?”

“Dribble. Dribble Sterre.” Dribble replied.

“Nice to meet you, Dribble. I'm willing to bet you’re not going to do it right this instant, but if you ever need to transform, the thing you need to say is ‘Trixx, Let’s Pounce!’. Also…I know that thanks to Monokuma, you’re gonna have to select a hero name.” Trixx explained.

“How about Cerdocyon?” Dribble asked.

“Sure.” Trixx said, before darting over to Dribble, opening one of the pockets on Dribble’s work uniform, and entered. “If you need me, I'm gonna be in here, taking a well deserved nap.”

“...Okay.” Dribble shrugged.

Gabriel shrugged too. “I tried to warn you about Trixx.”

“He aint so bad.” Dribble said. “If anything, Spitz is worse.”

Gabriel shrugged again. “If you say so.”

‘I guess I could go hang out with someone if I wanted to.’ Dribble thought. ‘Perhaps Holly? I can't remember the last time I spent time with her.’

Dribble left the mess hall after grabbing a Granola Bar to eat, and began looking for Holly. Poor girl had gone through the wringer. She had lost so many people, and so it was clear that she was probably not in the best mental state right now.

And that was confirmed when he saw her sat down in the middle of the hallway, curled up into her knees.

“Are you okay, Holly?” He asked, placing one of his large hands on her back.

“...I..I think so.” She said, before sighing. “...is it okay if I put the Tiger Miraculous back and grab the horse Miraculous…? I…My sister used both of them.”

“I think so.” Dribble heard Plagg say before seeing him stick his head out of Holly’s pocket. “Just make sure Roaar is okay with it.”

“I'm perfectly fine taking my Miraculous back.” Roaar spoke up next, poking her head out of Holly’s pocket. “Just take the bracelet off and I’ll tell Kaalki you’re here.”

Holly took off the Pajas Bracelet, and handed it to Roaar. Roaar then flew away with it.

Trixx popped his head out of Dribble’s pocket. “Hi, Plagg. Do you mind if I hang out with Plagg for a bit, Dribble?”

“Sure.” Dribble said. “Just don't go too far.”

Trixx and Plagg nodded at their respective holders, before flying out of sight.

“So…Your sister used the Horse and Cat?” Dribble asked.

“She may have been their best user ever, given she was able to invent a new Cat Miraculous power. Catastrophe, which is just a giant explosion with the power of Cataclysm behind it, but the thing with Catastrophe is, it doesn't affect the Cat Miraculous holders themselves, only sends them flying.” Holly said.

“And that was her intended effect?” Dribble asked.

“Exactly.” Holly said. “And…I also wanted to talk about one thing. Lucky, myself, Natsuki, and Gabriel are the only ones out of all of us that have used Miraculouses before. If you ever have a question about a Miraculous, ask us.”

“I've been wondering something, ever since I got the Fox Miraculous. How do you think Monokuma got his hands on the Miraculouses?” Dribble asked.

“...I…I can't say for certain, but…If I had to say, I'm willing to bet he killed all the other Miraculous holders to get them, knowing him. Either that or he straight up stole them. It's a shame we can't ask our Kwamis about it…I think Monokuma may be considered the Guardian and thus made it so we can't ask them about it.” Holly said.

“Yikes. At least we have them now.” Dribble said. “Also, I think I see Kaalki over there.” He pointed out the Horse Kwami.

“Oh thank goodness you’re here Holly! Gosh, without you here, I wouldn't know who to choose to be my holder!” Kaalki said, handing Holly the glasses, which she promptly put on.

“I should probably get going now.” Dribble said, getting up. “Trixx, we’re going!” Dribble said, seeing the Fox Kwami dart back to his holder and back into his pocket.

Dribble then waved to Holly once Trixx was secure in his pocket, and then walked away.

‘I could go spend time with someone else if I wanted to.’ Dribble said. ‘Perhaps Orbulon? I haven't spent time with him in a while.’

But finding Orbulon was harder than it seemed at first, thanks to the alien in question being so short. But, Dribble eventually found him within the recently unlocked observation deck, looking out into the dark waters surrounding the submarine.

Trixx poked his head out of his pocket. “I've never seen someone like him.”

“Yeah, he's an alien, so of course you haven't.” Dribble said.

“Trixx?” Wayzz, the turtle Kwami said, looking over.

“Oh hey Wayzz! Wait, Wayzz!?” Trixx gasped. “Okay, I have to catch up with you!”

“Have fun.” Dribble said as he saw the fox and turtle kwami fly away.

“It has been one while, hasn't it, Dribble?” Orbulon asked, looking up at Dribble.

“It has. I'm sorry I haven't spent much time with you.” Dribble said. “I just got so caught up in meeting all these new people…”

“Dribble, I was doing that exact same thing.” Orbulon said. “So, I do not see why you are sorry when I was doing it too.”

“Ah…right. We probably got all caught up in it.” Dribble said. “How have things been going for you?”

“They have been going the great.” Orbulon nodded. “I have a Miraculous now, I have you and Jimmy…But it is not pearls before swine. People have died…”

“No sh*t.” Dribble said. “Life is kinda like that.”

“Oh there you two are!” Jimmy spoke up, startling Dribble and Orbulon.

“Hi Jimmy.” Dribble said as Jimmy approached them.

“I saw you talking and wanted to come say Hi.” Jimmy said, looking at the two of them.

“Yeah, we were discussing what has happened so far.” Orbulon commented.

Jimmy’s expression suddenly changed to a more grave one. “That reminded me of something I wanted to do with you two.”

“And what is that?” Dribble.

“Can…can you two promise me that you two will not kill? Because you two may be the only thing I have left. We don't know anything about the outside world, so for all I know, my family and Wario may be dead.”

“I promise.” Dribble said. “Spitz would hate me forever if he found out I killed someone.”

“I promise too.” Orbulon nodded in agreement. “I do not wish to lose my only friends.”

Jimmy smiled, and looked like he was about to say something, but was cut off by the nighttime announcement.

“And I guess that’s that. See you guys tomorrow.” Dribble said as he saw Trixx get back into his pocket.

Dribble made his way back into his room, and once there, he got on his pajamas.

“You have some weird friends.” Trixx said.

“So do you Trixx.” Dribble said, looking at his Monopod. He saw a Direct Message from Monokuma.

Captian_Monokuma: Go to the rules under the ‘My personal rules’ section to observe the rules for the Fox Miraculous, thank you.

Dribble did as instructed, and saw two personal Rules.

‘Personal Rule #1: You cannot use Mirage (the power of the Fox Miraculous) to make an illusion of Monokuma.

Personal Rule #2: You cannot use Mirage to imitate anyone who died in an execution. Someone who was killed is fair game.’

Dribble sighed, and shut off his Monopod, setting it on his bedside table.

Tomorrow will be another day. At least he had that comfort.
