How about a body swap of the Kwami Tiki and Plagg to their Miraculous and Mari and Plagg has to stay home and while at school Plagg in Adrien's body hanging out with Tiki and he called Tiki Sugar Cube while everyone looks at them and everyone thinks in the classroom the two are finally dating until the four return to normal and the next day Alya and the gang congratulates the two
It sounds super cute! I love the idea honestly I think it would be hilarious.
Well...it was supposed to be.
Marinette woke up as she usually did, her alarm screaming, her maman calling her down for breakfast, and Tikki's small pokes. Except one thing was off, the poking, it didn't feel small as usual. Actually it felt like what she imagined Tikki felt when Marinette poked her cheek. Though it may be weird, Marinette often wondered what everything felt like to Tikki, considering her size and what not. And when she opened her eyes, well, she was completely in the right to scream considering she was staring at her own face. She was pretty sure, about 99.2% sure she did not attack a mirror to her ceiling before going to bed, so she was rightfully freaked out by what was going on. She saw herself reach for her and cover her mouth while shushing her. A part of her knew she had to call down, but the louder part of her was still screaming.
"Marinette, it's me, Tikki! I need you to calm down! Please. I can explain everything." Herself said...well...Tikki said, she guessed.
This was fine, this was cool, cool, cool, COOL. She was Ladybug, she could handle whatever Tikki was going to tell her. Tikki who was wearing her face and body and who was, now that she thought about and observed, wayyyyy bigger than her. She stopped screaming but only so she could look down at the hand that was covering her mouth....and body?????? Que more muffled screaming.
"Marinette! Shhhhh! Please! Your mom will come up here if she hears you and that would be an awful moment for her to find out her daughter is Ladybug but not just that, that her daughter and her kwami have switched bodies!" Tikki whisper shouted in, amazingly, one breath.
Marinette's reply was muffled until Tikki took her hand away, well Marinette's hand, but well Tikki was in her body so it was technically Tikki's hand now...it was a hand on loan! With...the rest of the body on loan as well. "Tikki...please explain...you said you can explain!"
Tikki gave her a sheepish smile and lifted Marinette up so they were at eye level with one another. "First of all, I'm so proud of you!"
"Yes! This is a huge step towards becoming a better Ladybug! Honestly, I don't remember the last time a holder was this young when this happened!" Tikki squealed out with joy.
"Tikki! Focus. When what happened? What is currently happening?"
Tikki stopped and gave Marinette another sheepish smile. "Sorry, I'm just so happy! When a Miraculous holder and the kwami bond so much, and begin to understand one another better, they have a switch! And we have switched!"
"So this isn't an akuma?"
"Oh no, no, no! Not at all! This is a very good thing. This is like that human saying, getting to walk in another's shoes? This is so we can better harmonize with one another when we transform! This will unlock other powers to use and a longer transformation hold after you use your lucky charm!" Tikki explained as she placed Marinette on one hand and climbed out of her bed.
"Oh...Oh! That's amazing Tikki! Why did you never tell me about it before? It probably would have saved you a Marinette freak out." Marinette joked. This was amazing! All she could think of was how great this would help out with being Ladybug. And hopefully defeating Hawkmoth.
Tikki chuckled softly as she placed Marinette by her computer and grabbed her school bag...oh right, school! "I'm sorry Marinette, but I honestly forgot about it, and like I mentioned, this hasn't happened this early in a very long time. You're so young and you've been Ladybug for such a small amount of time, well I guess I should have expected it given the circumstances and how unusual this is."
Marinette frowned and kept trying to get a word in but she kept getting distracted by Tikki packing her school bags, and wait a minute, she just noticed Tikki had gotten her dressed but she was...well she was a little messy. Her pigtails were crooked and loose, her usual capris were buttoned thank goodness but one side was cuffed shorter than the other. Marinette gave herself a mental high-five that she usually wore flats this time of year, and that the blazer she designed wasn't meant to be buttoned up.
"Tikki...what are we going to do about this though? There's no way I-I mean you- can go to school."
"Why not?" Tikki asked with a slight tilt of her head, and yeah this was really weird to be talking to herself. Marinette knew it was Tikki but Tikki looked and sounded like her!
"Why no....Tikki, someone is bound to notice that I'm not me!" Marinette said as she flew- She Flew!- over to Tikki and fixed the crooked pigtail and zipped down to fix the shorter cuff of her capris. "You weren't even dressed right! How long has it been since you've...uh...switched?"
Tikki shot her an apologetic smile. "Oops, sorry about that Marinette! I guess it has been awhile."
"Oh a couple millennia I think."
"A couple mil- Tikki! There's no way we can go to school! We should tell mom that you're-I mean I'm not feeling good!"
Tikki frowned at her and placed her hands on her hips. "Absolutely not! Your education is very important Marinette, I would feel so bad if you had to miss out because of this. I promise, everything will be okay! No body will tell the difference. I'm confident that we can get through this day!"
Marinette frowned too and flew up so she could look Tikki in the eye and tell her this absolutely wouldn't work and she could text Alya to see what work had to be done for the day, but before she could the trapdoor to her room opened up and she knew she had to hide so she zipped over to hide behind her backpack.
"Marinette, come on dear you should come eat now, or else you will skip breakfast or be late for class and I know you've been trying really hard to get to school on time this week." Her mother said with a gentle smile to who she thought was her daughter.
"I'll be right down, I promise Mari-maaaaaman!" Tikki said with an awkward chuckle. Nice save Tikki. Real nice.
"Okay sweetie, I left you a pain au chocolat and some fruit on the counter. Today is a busy day, your father and I have a lot of custom orders to make today so I'll be down in the bakery but we'll see you for lunch!" She heard her mom say before the trapdoor closed. Once it did she immediately zipped up so Tikki could see her.
"I told you it would be fine Marinette! Besides it will only be till the end of the day! Then we'll switch back. I know what's going on is weird but the whole point of the switch is to experience life in your holders place and you as your kwami's so you'll be better in tune with one another." Tikki said as she gently grabbed Marinette and brought her to her face so they could huh.
Marinette was nervous but she understood the good this would do and honestly there was nothing she could do since it was already in motion. "Okay but if anything happens during school we will come back home and say we're not feeling well. Deal?"
"Well..." Tikki said as she looked off to the side.
Marinette narrowed her eyes, "Well what?"
"I think it would be best if you stayed here. You've never been a kwami before and well, in the past holders couldn't control the power well enough to keep it from getting out of hand. Identities were found out and a lot happened." Tikki said without looking at her.
It was one thing to switch and be with Tikki, it was a whole different thing to switch and be separated. "What about akumas? Tikki we can't just be away from each other!"
"I've thought about that! Trust me Marinette, I know you've noticed the drawl in Akumas lately. Maybe Hawkmoth is busy this week! And if one does happen I'll run right over, but believe me when I say an akuma won't happen today. Luck is on our side I promise."
Marinette didn't like it but Tikki was way older than she was and she was the kwami of Creation, basically a psuedo-God, and she has switched in the past, and Marinette trusted her, but she couldn't help but worry. "Okay...I don't like it, it makes me anxious, but I trust you Tikki. Just please promise me, if it gets too much, or you think someone is on to you, that you will come home."
"I promise you Marinette. This day will pass by fast! It'll be over before you know it!" And with that Tikki gave Marinette a kiss on the cheek and ran downstairs. Marinette didn't know what to do, but she promised Tikki she wouldn't worry so she took a deep breath and flew up to her hatch door, the least she could do was hang out outside, that way there was no way her parents would see her on accident. She attempted to lift the hatch but gave a little scream when she phased through it...that was going to take getting used to.
Tikki took in a deep breath as she made her way to Marinette's school, she knew she told Marinette not to worry, but if Tikki was telling the truth she was nervous. It had been ages since she last switched, ages since she was last in a human body, and the only humans she interacted with were Marinette and Master Fu! But she had to remain calm, she promised Marinette this day would go by fast and that she could handle it, so that's what Tikki was going to do, handle it.
When she walked in she felt her palms sweat and wow okay, that was unpleasant, and a sensation she had not missed. She waved to those who called Marinette's name and gave them smiles and said good morning the way she heard Marinette say in the morning on their way to school. She felt bad that she had to leave Marinette on her own but too many Ladybugs had been found out because they couldn't handle the magic and power of a kwami body during the switch, and Tikki would phase herself all the way to the end of the earth if that happened to her and Marinette. She loved Marinette, like all her chosens, Marinette was a creation soul. But Marinette breathed creation like she was born directly from Tikki, it was amazing! It had been such a long time since Tikki had met a creation soul like Marinette. In a way, Tikki felt like Marinette was one of her own children, a being born purely from creation, but Marinette was too human to have been so, but Tikki loved her all the same. They weren't just coworkers, or friends, they were more and it made Tikki so happy that they switched. Switching was a very special occasion, even more special than a holders day of birth! Switching was a bigger show that a holder was growing and maturing than a birthday ever did. It was somewhat bittersweet to Tikki. Her little creation was growing up.
The thought made her smile as she walked into Marinette's classroom. She waved at Alya and was about to walk over to their seat when she felt herself being embraced and lifted a little of the ground.
Oh....kwami! She forgot about him! On one hand she was happy for Plagg, on the other she wanted to smack him. She was probably going to smack him later, she promised Marinette she wouldn't act any differently than her, she would have to apologize and make it up to Mari later, Tikki was wrong. Today was going to be a long day.
"Sugar Cube? Adrien are you feeling okay?" She heard Nino ask.
This is part one because this was so fun to write! I'll definitely be writing more but it is late and I'm tired XD good night guys!
