Dedication: DaMiraculousDrAnna for letting me help complete this pawsome story.

     I, Tikki, heard Marinette's sobs and knew it was all Plagg's fault.

   Leave to me to take my frustrations out on him at once.

    "Plagg, you swine, look what you did to Marinette!"  I yelled.

      I was glad the doctors were busy with other patients at the moment.

     I jumped when a vibration noise startled me.    To my relief, it was Adrien, fast asleep. 

     I knew one of us had some peace.

   I  could sense that the words scribbled on some notepad disturbed my holder more than she would admit. 

    I heard her shout, "Plagg, I will tell Adrien the truth when I am good and ready too."

    I  watched her exit the room.  I shook my head at Plagg.

    I   paid attention as she re-entered the room a few moments later with her hot chocolate in hand.

     I   felt the silence in the room take over as she sat in the chair next to the bed.

    I wanted to shout, guess what?  The hawkmoth is Gabriel Agreste. I   had to keep this to myself as it was against the rules for me to say a word.

      I wished to be anywhere but here in this hospital room.

      I shuddered at where my thoughts took me.

      I flew over to the window and looked out.

     I saw the rain as it hit the window pane.

    No wonder everything was gloomy.  It was just one bad thing after another.

    I thought nothing could be worse than this until I heard Marinette clear her throat.

   I glared at Plagg. 

   I  did not say a single word as Adrien's eyes opened wide. I could see the clear, white centers of them. I felt sad for him.

    I  knew his home life was not that great, but still, he did not deserve all this suffering.

    I   sighed as Marinette turned to me.

   "Tikki, the letter has me all stressed out, so I rather not discuss it now."

     "I understand, Marinette."

    I nodded my head in agreement.

    I  could feel the presence of something dark in the room. I looked up in horror as an akuma flew past my head.  Not now.  It was the last thing anyone needed at a time like this.

     "Plagg, watch out!"  

      I  saw Marinette flitch, then saw her smile.

    "Tikki spots on!"  I heard a familiar command.

     I did as I was told. I let her transform.

    As soon as Ladybug caught the akuma and purified it I thought about how close that was and breathed a sigh of relief.  Ladybug dropped the transformation and gave me some cookies that tasted nasty. I assumed they were from a vending machine. 

   "Sorry, Tikki, but that is that best I could do for the moment."  I heard the apology.
