"Marinette? You're my ladybug!?"

"I take it you know who I am then?" The little girl played with her hair.

"Yes, Mare you and I are best friends! We even work together sometimes. Why can't she remember her life?"

"My best guess is that it would be to complex for her now child brian to handle all that information. But since Tiki is with her when she's Ladybug she can retain her Ladybug memories." Master Fu patted the girl's head. "So Chat would you like to detransform now?"

Chat smiled, "Claws in" Adrien stood before little Marinette. "Hey there." He waved.

"Woah!" Mari giggled, "That's so cool! Do I look that cool when say spots off?"

"Of course you do little bug!" Adrien ruffled her hair. "So you don't remember me at all?" Mari shook her head. "Well that's okay, we have lots of pictures and videos together for me to help jog your memory. I might even be able to find stuff from Alya and Nino to help you remember them." he looked up at Master Fu, "We need to make her look a little different, anyone who knew Mare as a child would likely be able to put to and to together."

"You're right..." Master Fu was lost in thought as he watched Mari walk over to the other Kawmis who had come out to watch the lesson.

"I think we need to get Rena and Carapace here to help with that," Adrien added hopefully."That will make this complicated." Master Fu countered.

"Why?" Adrien didn't get it.

"Think kid, who would Marinette trust most?" Plagg stared at him hard.

"Ohhh... Alys and Nino... Well, maybe it's time we all know? It would be the best way to keep it a secret?" Adrien smiled knowing his two best friends had been on his team for years now.

"No. Marinette should have a say in when her friends find out she Ladybug. She going to be mad when she gets all her memories back and finds out you knew before Hawkmoth was behind bars. And you two become guardians together." After Fu had put so much pressure on Marinette, she had opened up to Chat about the stress she was going through and they agreed to split the rolls, Chat taking on the history and magic of the Miraculous, while Ladybug taking on the care and passing on of the Kawmis. It suited their strengths better anyway.

"That's a good point, well I know a thing or to about hair die and makeup, I'll go pick up some things to make her look at least a little different. Alright Miss Marinette, if you could have any other hair colour in the world what would it be?" He had about three guesses.

"Pink!" the little girl giggled.

"The point is to make you blend in little one.." Adrien laughed. "What if we did black up I let you put a pink streak in your hair?"

She pouted at first but slowly smiled. "Okay. That makes sense."

"I'll also pick up up some fake glasses, should help change her face shape enough, and I'll get a brown eyeliner pencil, we can add more freckles to her face. Should make her look different enough. Plagg ready to go?" He turned to see Plagg being cuddled by Marinette. His heart couldn't handle the cuteness.

"I think I'll stay with the girl Adrien." Plagg smiled up at Mari.

"Little Kitty!" Mari giggled. "He's cute Adrien, can he stay with me! PLEEEEAASSSEEE!!!" Adrien laughed "Sure, why not!"

Adrien left and Master Fu sighed, "Alright Marinette, I need you to turn back into Ladybug, I need to make sure of a few things."

Marinette stood up and let go of Plagg, "Okay! Tiki Spots On!" Ladybug looked down, "My costume changed!" She looked down, she now had a poke a dotted dress, with red socks and black shoes, her pigtails had big ribbons on them and her mask coved more of her face. her Yo-yo looked more like a child's toy than anything else. " Master who long am I going to be a child!"

"Ladybug, how old are you suppose to be?" "20." "Who are you without the mask?""Umm Ah... it's fuzzy. I don't know.""Do you remember what happened when you weren't Ladybug?""No, I know that I met Chat's civilian self, but I can't put to and to together." "Interesting, you seem to be able to have grown up conversation as Ladybug, with limited understanding. Must be the work of Tiki. Well, let's try your lucky charm."

Ladybug nodded, "Lucky Charm!" She threw her yoyo up and down came a teapot. "Hey, that's what I get when I need to come to you!"

"So what's it telling you now?"

Ladybug looked around, the powerup table lit up, Master Fu lit up, and the teapot lit up. " Make the invisibility tea. Let's see if it works."

Master Fu brewed the tea, and Ladybug drank it, and she finished. "Alright, how does it feel?" Master Fu took a drink of the see all drink, making it so those who are visible could see those who are invisible.

"I feel fine. I think I could use this during fights and stay safe." Her earings peeped. "Oh! that's shorter than normal! And she quickly detransformed and become visible to all again.

"Alright, so you have much less time you are used to as Ladybug. I'll need to tell Adrien to make sure your bag always snacks for Tiki in case you needed to recharge during battle."

"Okay!" Marinette smiled up at him.

Adrien walked in. "Adrien!" Marinette ran to him."Your back! Can you change my hair now?!" Marinette sat patiently while Adrien died her hair. He gave her a bright pink streak as promised. He added more freckles and placed the glasses with fake lends on her face. The glasses where red. They complimented her face well Adrien thought.

"We will need to find her new clothes." Master Fu noted.

"I'll call Sabine and see if she has old toys she can lend me cuz well shes a kid. And I'll see if Alyas family has anything I can borrow for her two twin sisters. Mari was supposed to be gone on a business trip for two weeks so that's a good cover for now. I'll just have to text for her I guess." Mari once again sat with he Kwaimis and played. Adrien pulled out his phone and called Sabine. "Hello, Mama S, hows your day going?"

"Adrien dear! How nice to hear from you! My day is good Mari stopped by a few hours ago to say goodbye. How can I help you?"

"I've got a strange request, So you know how I take Chinese lessons still?" Sabine hummed, "Well my teacher's granddaughter is coming down for two weeks to visit him, but he's not feeling to well so I'm gonna help him out by looking after her most of the time. Do have any of Mare's old toys that I could borrow? Or some blankets, my guest room is a little too grown-up for this sweet girl." 

"Oh Adrien, you are far too sweet for your own good! Of course, come by tonight and pick them up."

"Thanks, Mama S, your the best!" He then called Alya, "Hey Alys!" 

"Yo Agrest what's up?"

"Strange request, you know how I take Chinese lessons still"

"Duh!"

"Well my teacher's granddaughter is coming down for two weeks to visit him, and her suitcase got lost on the plane, think you could find some of your sister's old clothes? My teacher got sick after the trip was already planned so I offered to help them out by watching her, her parents were going away for those to weeks. Think you could swing them by my place with Nino tonight? Help me show this little lady a good time?"

"Ever the hero." Alya laughed, "Of course. We'll even bring pizza for supper."

"Awesome. Thanks!" Adrien hung up the phone. "Alright well, that settles that. Hey Tiki, can you keep Ladybug's hair blue? I just don't want anyone to put to and to together." 

"Of course I can!" TIki did a backflip. 

"Well Little lady, shall we go see our supper hero friends?"

"Yay!"

"Spots on." Claws Out!"

"So I guess I gotta carry you don't I little bug?" Chat grinned. "Oh Stop it, Kitty."

"He's right Ladybug, You're too weak to jump around the city." Master Fu warned.

"I know!" Ladybug huffed. "I just miss being me."

"I think I like child civilian you better." Chat teased. "She fights less."

"Whatever, How do you wanna do this?"

"Let's try a piggyback and see how safe that is. Rena and Carapace don't live that far from here."

"Okay!" Ladybug jumped on his back, he used one hand to support her hold on him. While using the other to pole vault thought city.

Master Fu watched the heroes leave together. "I hope this works out..." He sighed and went to work trying to find what went wrong.
