Welcome to T.V. and Truths!

So, I've wanted to do this for a while, but between school and How to be Human, I haven't had any time. But hooray, summer's right around the corner! I can't promise the updates will be fast, but hey, it's something to do.

I know this has been done to death, but I really wanted to try my hand at it. I was inspired by BlackMysticalWolf with her (not trying to assume gender) story 'Old stories, new discoveries'. It is my favorite Miraculous fic to date.

I'm definitly going to do Season One, but since season two isn't fully released yet, I don't know if I'll do it or not. I'll try to, but if it all gets muddled and starts to contradict itself, I'm stopping. Just for clarification, I'm using the English dub and going in U.S. order.

Miraculous doesn't belong to me, it belongs to Thomas Astruc. Plotlines all me, though :)

Anyways, as always, please enjoy and review!

"Girl, wake up! Quickly!"

Marinette grunted and opened her eyes blearily. "Alya, it's Saturday, remember? No school. In other words, please let me sleep."

"No, you gotta get up! We've been kidnapped!"

"That's nice…wait, what?" Marinette's eyes fully shot open and she fought for balance, not expecting to be sitting up on a light pink bean bag or fully dressed. "Gah!"

"Oh, good. Maritrash is finally awake," someone said in a pompous voice to her far right. "Now can that we're all up, can we get the hell out of here?!"

Marinette didn't even have to look. She rubbed her eyes, yawning. "Hello, Chloé. I don't recall inviting you to Alya and mine's sleepover."

"Ugh, as if I'd even want to sleep in your ugly shack. I fell asleep at home in my bed, as usual, then the next thing I know, I'm waking up in this dump!"

"Yeah, me too. Just without the 'dump' part," another voice said. Marinette glanced to her left and saw Adrien right beside her.

She jumped for the second time. "A-Adrien?! W-What are you–"

"Doing here?" Adrien finished. "No idea. You were the last to wake up."

Looking around, Marinette realized he was right. All her classmates were here as well, looking just as confused as she felt.

They were in a large room. The floor, walls and ceiling were all painted a deep black. There was a huge screen on the wall in front of them, possibly bigger than a cinema screen. On either side of the screen there were two doors, and twisting backwards, Marinette saw a third one on the far wall. Little hanging lamps illuminated the corners of the room, just enough so that they could see. The only colors in the room came from the bean bags that everyone was sitting on, each a different color.

Marinette discreetly opened her bag and was relieved to find an equally confused Tikki. Maybe she could sneak through one of the doors and transform…

"The doors are locked," Alya said. "Even so, I don't think they lead outside."

…or not.

Suddenly, screen burst with static, making an ear-splitting noise in the dense quiet. Everyone jumped. "Jesus!" yelled Alix, hands over her ears.

The static cut out and the screen cleared to reveal a young girl. She had dark brown hair tied back in a braid, fair skin and blue-gray eyes. From what Marinette could see of her, she had dark gray tank top on. "Sorry!" she cried. Her voice had a slight Irish accent. "I didn't mean to startle you!"

"Startle? Try scaring the living shit out of us!" Myléne said, massaging her heart.

"Again, sorry!"

"Who are you?" Juleka asked softly.

"My name is QuickestSecret," the girl said.

"Excuse me? That's not a real name!" Chloé hmphed.

"I have to keep my identity under wraps for…ah, personal reasons."

"Why?" Kim said. "Scared that we'll find you when we get out of here?"

She laughed. "Nah. Trust me, you could never find me." Marinette opened her mouth to speak, but QuickestSecret cut her off. "And before you ask, Marinette, no, I'm not an akuma."

Marinette closed her mouth, then opened it again just as quickly. "How do you know my name?"

QuickestSecret smiled. "I know all of you."

"Why are we here?" Ivan asked.

"Now, that's a story," QuickestSecret said. "You see, I live in an alternate dimension where your lives exist as a T.V. show: Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir. It's extremely popular…well, to a select group of individuals known simply as the Fandom. Anyway, I've gathered all of you here to watch the show."

"Wait!" Alya cut her off. "Are you saying that Ladybug and Chat Noir are here?"

"E-yup."

"Are we going to see who they are?!"

"E-yup."

Alya squealed. Everyone instantly burst into chatter, wondering loudly who the heroes were, exclaiming over the fact that they knew the heroes outside the mask, and shrieking for selfies.

Well, that last bit was mostly Chloé.

Marinette stayed silent, only giving a tense smile when Alya shook her by the shoulders excitedly. Her secret was about to be given away. Not just to Chat Noir (who she couldn't help wondering about), but to her entire class.

Adrien, on the other hand, was ecstatic. Sure, he was a little worried about his identity as Chat Noir, but Ladybug was here! He was going to see who his Lady was under the mask! He glanced around eagerly, wondering who she was.

A sharp whistle sounded. Everyone abruptly fell silent. "Thank you," QuickestSecret said. "Before you get started, I want to make a few things known.

"The doors on either side of the screen are restrooms. They are now-" she pressed a button offscreen and the doors swung open. "Unlocked. You can divide them however you want, it doesn't matter. But if you try to use them for…unintended purposes, your bathroom privileges will shut down. Don't try anything.

"The door in the back is now also unlocked. It leads to kitchen stocked full with food, plus some equipment if you want to make something. Again, don't try anything that doesn't normally happen in a kitchen.

"And now, for the episodes. Once I'm done here, I'll set you up with Season One. The episodes can be watched in any order, but leave episodes fifteen, sixteen, twenty-six and 'A Christmas Special' for last. Marinette, you should find the remote underneath your bean bag." Marinette looked, and indeed, there was a tiny remote. "Once you're done with Season One, I'll grab what's up of Season Two."

"Season Two isn't fully out?" Max said.

QuickestSecret sighed. "Unfortunately, no. The episodes are being released one at a time, which makes for one hell of a wait in between. I'll update the list every time a new episode comes out. But since time flows differently here, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for you guys."

"Time flows differently?" Rose said curiously. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that for every episode you watch, about a week passes in the real world." Nervous muttering broke out. "It's nothing to worry about, I can return you to the exact moment you left-–give or take a couple of hours.

"In the meantime, though, enjoy watching the show!" And with that, QuickestSecret blinked out and was replaced by a list of episodes.

Everyone was silent for a moment. Marinette scrolled to the first episode: The Bubbler. "Alright, let's do a vote," she said with reluctance. "Everyone in favor of watching these to get out, say aye."

Resounding ayes filled the room, Alya's being the most enthusiastic. Only Marinette stayed quiet. She inwardly sighed. Chat, I know you're just in this for me.

She hit play.
