Tuesday. 
Yesterday, Luz stayed awake til she heard Plagg sleep talk, and wrote it down. She couldn't record it, because Kwamis don't show up in cameras. Then she went to sleep, cause one example was enough for her.
When her alarm went off, Plagg got up to switch it off, shaking Luz awake, "Come on Kid, rise and shine.." Plagg yawned. "Fencing today.."
Luz rose her head, a bit of drool on her chin, "Muh?"
"Up we go come on." Plagg grabbed a small knot of hair, tugging.
Luz yawned as she helped Plagg drag herself out of of bed, being guided to the bathroom. Plagg grabbed her brush, handing it to her grabbing his own tiny brush and licking it. He moved his fur back, examining himself in his tiny mirror. "Heh, still got it."

"That's enough for today."
Luz bowed, rubbing her neck and walking back towards the locker rooms. Plagg whizzed out of her locker, handing her a folded towel, "Cool off kid, don't want you passing out."
"Thanks-" Luz took the towel, removing her helmet, wiping her face. "Phew."
Plagg rummaged around, pulling out Luz's water, nearly dropping it due to how cold it was. Luz thanked him once more, opening the bottle and drinking until she needed to catch her breath again. "Want to talk about today or are you out of breath?"
Luz held up two fingers, Plagg nodding. Luz closed her bottle, placing it down and beginning to dress out as Plagg sorted things out in her locker. Once she finished, Plagg did as well, so Luz grabbed her bag, let Plagg come out before closing her locker and locked it. "It was good, thank you for asking." Luz finally answered. 
Plagg looked up at her, "Oh yeah? Did you win?"
"Since it's practice, no I didn't. But if it wasn't, also no." Luz brushed her hair back with her hand. "Feel like breakfast at the bakery?"
"Mm..Do we have time?" Plagg went in to Luz's outer pocket in her bag.
"I think so."
Plagg checked her phone, humming, "We have time for a to-go order."
Luz nodded, "Order me something, no ham or gluten."
"Ordered gluten free French toast, ham and cheese croissant, and a sweets for Amity." Plagg said, pressing the few final buttons before looking to Luz. "Ready by the time we get there."
Luz nodded, "Then we better get going."

Luz was pulled out of school early, which suprised her. Plagg overheard on Gorilla's phone the reason, and whispered it to Luz. She was, excited, to say the least. When they parked in front of the mansion, she opened the door, scrambling out, "VEE!!" Luz exclaimed, running towards her twin.
The Latina looked back, holding her arms out, stumbling hack when Luz jumped in to her arms. "Luz! How have you been? Are you okay? I missed you! Gosh it's been so long-"
"Hermana, callaté." Luz pulled back, patting her head. "Don't worry, your ranting isn't necessary. I have been great, I am okay, I missed you too!! Now I return the questions plus if you have anything new?-"
Vee paused, then grinned, "I've got a girlfriend."
"Liar." Luz looked back. "Gorilla, she's lying, right?"
Gorilla shook his head, handing his phone to Luz, scrolling down a bit, "Mm."
Luz gasped, looking to Vee, then to the phone, then back up at Vee. "AND YOU DIDN'T CALL WHY??"
"Cause López told me you were busy." Vee clicked her account on Gorilla's phone, scrolling up, then tapping a photo. "My lovely girlfriend. We met online, told her my name was Five, we chatted a bit. She didn't know, was pretty oblivious."
Luz waved her hand, "Let's do this inside, it's hot out here--"
Gorilla grunted, nudging the two to the door, pointing to the car. "See you inside Gorilla!" Vee waved. "Come on, I had help decorating my room again."
Luz went inside with Vee, the two going upstairs and across from Luz's room. It had been empty for so long, even Luz had forgotten it was there. Instead of the pink walls, they were white, and splattered with random splotches of paint. "Artsy phase?" Luz rose a brow. "Alright let's see it."
Vee cackled as she rushed to the drawers, opening one up, handing Luz a folder. "Clara, my girlfriend, friend at the time, said I should make stuff for you since all I talked about when I had the chance, was you." Vee smiled. "I missed my older sister, and she knew. So me, wearing one of those fake glasses and nose, face timed her to have her watch me."
"Did it help?" Luz awhed, feeling the paper. "So cool~"
It was pastel of herself and Vee, a rough drawing, but it was clearly visible. "A little. The need to call and accidentally bother you at the wrong time dwindled down, cause I felt like you were there with me." Vee smiled. "Obviously I still missed you, but now I'm here, so that's good."
Luz ruffled her hair, "You did your research on what you missed right?" Luz asked, switching papers.
Vee nodded, then shook her head. "I know what the heroes are, the question is why are they here? How are they here?" Vee went over to a hung up cloth, carefully taking it off the hook. "I started research over with López.. And I've got some leads."
Filou, Ladybug, Chat Noire, and Météo Dragon had their pictures hung on the cork board, several random civilians and strings linking around. "We're not supposed to." Luz walked over. "If you do, we'll all be in danger. Even if you say you'll hide it somewhere safe, when you get akumatized he'll know where to look."
Vee paused, looked to her work, and ripped it off the wall. "Well, I've given up on my hobby. Let's do something! I want to see if we can catch one of the heroes-"
'CRASH' Luz and Vee looked to eachother before running out of the room, going to Luz's. "Ouch.."
"Ladybug!" Luz rushed to her side, helping her up. "My gosh are you okay? Is there an akuma?"
The heroine rubbed her head lightly, "I'm fine..And no, no akuma.." Her eyes widened at the mess she made. "Sorry--"
"Don't worry about it, I'll pick it up right now. What brings you around here Ladybug?" Luz sat her down. "Oh, this is my twin sister by the way- I'm actually older by a day cause I was born at 11:58, she was born three minutes afrer." 
Vee hesitantly waved, "Hi..-"
"Oh- Amity told me about that-" Ladybug nodded. "She actually sent me to ask if you were okay since you aren't answering your phone."
Luz jumped, feeling her pockets, pulling out her phone, "Phone's on do not disturb..Thanks for checking by, I'll call her in a bit." Luz unlocked her phone. "Message first..Do you want anything Ladybug? Tea?"
"No, just stopped by to check on you." Ladybug hummed, fixing her hair. "Sorry."
"It's alright, will you be okay on your way back?"
Ladybug nodded, "Just peachy. Don't forget to text Amity. Au revoir!" She hopped up, landing on the windowsill, waving at Luz and Vee before taking off.
Luz looked to her twin, Vee's mouth dropping. "Yes, Vee, that was her."
"I-I expected to see her outside of our house-- N-Not– Not inside your room!!" Vee shook Luz roughly, settling by pushing her to the ground, grabbing her collar. "You will tell me everything you know.."
"Ooh boy..-"
