1 1. Introduction

Where am I? Marinette said as she wakes up from her temporary loss of consciousness. The last thing she remembered is she was in class at school when all of a sudden, a flash of light shined on the class and then she fell asleep? How was that even possible?

Now that she's rubbed her eyes and can see clearly, Marinette sees that she's in a recliner seat in front of a big theater screen. Sitting next to her also waking up was Alya and Adrien! Oh my Gosh! Adrien is sitting next to me! She then pulled herself into focus and sees that Nino is sitting next to Adrien on the other side. As she turned around, she now sees her entire class (including Chloe and Lila unfortunately) along with Miss Bustier, Mr. Damocles, Luka, Kagami, Marc, and her parents all in recliners! Checking the rest of her surroundings, she sees that they're all in a giant theater room complete with a food and drink buffet in the back and a pair of doors that lead to somewhere unknown. What the heck is going on?!

As soon as all the others woke up, they all also looked around their surroundings and started panicking demanding to know what's going on.

"Where the heck are we, dudes?!" Nino asked first.

"Is this another akuma attack?!" Alya asked.

"Looks like we're in comfy chairs, there's a theater screen in front of us, and food and drinks in the back," Adrien noted their surroundings.

"If this is an akuma attack, this is the most comfortable one I've ever had," Kim said.

"I know! If this is an akuma attack, it's so comfortable that it's ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!" Chloe noted.

"Calm down, everyone. I'm sure Ladybug and Cat Noir are on their way to save us!" Sabine said calming most of everybody down.

"She better bring my Miraculous this time!" Chloe said while everyone rolled their eyes and sighed.

"I don't mean to speak ill of the superheroes, but why should we always depend on them?" Lila said in the sweetest tone possible causing hidden anger and irritation among both Marinette and Adrien, and confusion among everyone else.

"Calm down, everyone!" A mysterious voice then boomed and then what appeared was a young blonde woman in a long light blue dress. "Don't worry, I'm not an akuma and I'm not going to harm you all. My name is Angel and I'm an angel." Some teens snickered at that. "Yes, I'm an angel named Angel. Very funny haha. Let's move on."

"Why are we all here, Miss Angel, is it?" Mr. Damocles curiously and nervously asked, and Angel nodded.

"Well, let me put it this way. This is my dimension, a different one from yours. In this world, you're all part of a TV show called Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. And yes, you heard the title right. It's about your superheroes who both are in this room right now with you all in their civilian forms." Angel started telling everyone who are wide-eyed and open-mouthed right now. Meanwhile, both Marinette and Adrien just looked very nervous.

"So in this world, our lives are a television show?!" Max asked as he looks like he's going crazy.

"That is correct," Angel confirmed with a nod.

"That is creepy! Utterly creepy!" Chloe said with disgust and some nodded in agreement.

"Well anyway, I brought you all here to watch all of the show's episodes so far as something negative and life-changing is gonna happen in the near future. Plus some things in your world were going nowhere and there are some truths that need to be told to you all," Angel explained and gave Lila a glare when it came to "truths". Everybody's just confused at this point.

"So since this show is about Ladybug and Cat Noir, does that mean we'll finally find out who they are?!" Alya asked excitedly.

"Yep!" Angel confirmed, exciting Alya and most other teens more. "You all will also find out about Hawk Moth's identity later on as we watch. That way, the heroes will have the possible advantage of defeating him as soon as possible. There are 3 seasons and 77 episodes before you all watch the future 78th episode. Obviously, we won't watch all the episodes in one day, so there are dorms with bedrooms assigned to you all outside these doors in the back. Boys' dorm on the left and girls' dorm on the right. There's one bedroom between the two dorms for the Dupain-Cheng parents as they're the only married couple in here. So let's get this started! Food and drinks are available at the buffet if you are hungry and thirsty." Angel ended at this point and everyone went to the buffet to get some and get in their assigned seats with their names stamped on them.

I can't believe people are gonna find out that I'm Ladybug! My parents, my friends, my enemies, and Adrien! Adrien! Oh my Gosh! What's he gonna think? What's Cat Noir gonna think, whoever he is?! I hope this turns out all okay! Marinette thought as she internally panicked.

I guess I should be happy. I'm about to find out who Ladybug is. Who has been the love of my life this entire time? I can't believe this is really happening! Of course, she must be feeling very negative right now since our secret identities will be revealed to almost everyone we know. But, no matter. Whoever she is, I'll always be there for her! I hope she can accept that I'm Cat Noir! Adrien thought with mixed feelings.

"Alright, everybody ready?" Angel asked everyone. Almost all of them nodded in confirmation, but then Lila raised her hand.

"Do you think Marinette can switch seats with me? My tinnitus has recently come back," Lila lies through her teeth hoping to sit next to Adrien making both him and Marinette frown.

"Excuse me? If anyone's sitting next to Adrikins, it should be me!" Chloe quickly shouted making both Adrien and Marinette sigh.

"Sorry, no seat switching! And don't worry, Lila. The screen will be loud enough for you to hear. Now, let's get started! Starting with the two-part Origins story on how Ladybug and Cat Noir came to be!" Angel announced with a glare to Lila as the lights dimmed. Both Chloe and Lila have scowls on their faces as the episode begins to play.
