Long ago and far away, in a village high on a mountaintop, something amazing was occurring. At the very same moment, two identical baby girls were born!

One, a baby king and queen were overjoyed. Princess Bridgette would have only the finest.

The second baby girl was named Marinette. Her parents loved her every bit as much as the king and queen loved the princess, but they worried. They were so poor. How would they be able to care for their little daughter?

Many years passed. The princess learned her royal duties, while Marinette worked long and hard as a seamstress for the spiteful Madame Chloe.

With lives so different, it wasn't surprising that the princess and the pauper never met. But fate decreed they would.

It all started with the strange occurrences with the white butterflies. Whoever made contact with these creatures would turn into ferocious beings. The widowed queen was shocked. The kingdom was now danger. How was she going to take care of her people?

If only she could call on her trusted adviser Gabriel Agreste, but he was away on a long journey. She needed to do something quickly to save the kingdom, but what?

And then it struck her. Nearby lived a rich young king who was seeking a wife.

"Princess, it's time for you to wake up!"

Bridgette muttered something under her breath as she turned over in her bed. Her blue hair laid messily over her face and her body was half on the bed. She yawned, getting up out of the soft covers. Slipping on her slippers, she walked over to her balcony window and opened it up. The sunlight streamed onto her tired face, she started to rub her eyes awake.

"Good morning kingdom! Time to start another day!" She exclaimed happily.

The village of Mysticant was her home, the place where she had grown accustomed to at least. Bridgette smiled at the people who were starting to open their shops and buy their morning buns and breads. She wished that she could venture out and talk the people. The moment of freedom she craved for would never happen though.

The door creaked open, making her jump in shock. A guy with short blonde hair had entered her chambers. He had green eyes that made her heart melt and wore a business-like suit with a green tie. Around his finger was a black ring.

"Princess, I called your name four times. When were you deciding to come down?"

"I'm sorry Felix! I was just admiring the morning view as all." The princess started to slur with her words. "It was just a beautiful morning and I thought I might-!"

Felix shook his head, giving her a small smile. "Bridgette I've known you for a long time now. I can tell when you are troubled." He walked over to her, stopping in front of her. "What is your problem?"

She wanted to tell him, she wanted to tell him about her freedom. Her tongue was tied, her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Nothing Felix, I was just thinking about my engagement with Prince Adrien."

She swore she saw his mouth twitch at the mention of his name. "Please get ready for the day Princess. We still have a lesson to get done you know?" With that, he left the room, closing the door behind him with a curt bang.

Bridgette blinked for a second before looking over towards her sleeping cat on her bed. "Tikki do you think I'll ever escape this life?"

The reddish cat opened its blue eyes and gave her a smile. Bridgette smiled back and walked towards the bathroom, eager to start the day. Inside the bathroom, her red dress stood hanging on the door. Skipping to the mirror, she placed the tiara on her head.

I may be a princess, but I want a different life. I wish to be free!

"MARINETTE YOU BETTER GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANCE!"

In the middle of town, a dress shop had started to open up shop for the day. The Bee Chic Emporium had the best clothes and dresses in town, sold by Madame Chloe herself. The blonde businesswoman ran a tight business with her two employees; Marinette and Alya. Speaking of the twosome...

"Marinette wake up!" A black cat with green eyes shook the bluenette with his paws. "You don't want the horrible woman to punish you again!"

At that, Marinette woke with a start, knocking the cat off her bed sheet. Or what you would call a bed. She and Alya slept in the attic of the shop, sleeping on hay and with thin blankets. It was a living hell everyday, working for long hours a day.

"Plagg are you okay?" She asked the black cat worried.

"Fine, peachy, I hope you have some cheese for that." He complained, picking himself off the floor. "Ya ready for another day in slavery?"

Marinette pulled her hair into two ponytails, checking her reflection in the mirror. "I guess so...I need to pay off my debt after all."

"Don't forget that you have to make more of those ladybug themed dresses for the royal ball tonight."

"I wonder why those dresses are so popular? Just because I made one for the princess now everyone wants one!"

The sound of the door opening made her turn around in fright. To her relief, it was just her tanned skinned, glasses wearing, gossipy girlfriend Alya. Sighing, she noticed her friend writing something in her notebook.

"Alya, what's going on? I'm guessing Chloe wants me downstairs now?" She grimaced at the name of her employer.

"Uh huh, no breakfast this time either." She popped her quill on her nose. "You better hurry up before you get no lunch break too."

Marinette nodded and put on a simple blue dress with a plain white apron. To finish off her look, she put on the last of her parent's gifts; a pair of ladybug earrings. Smiling to herself, she fixed her hair the best she could and headed down the stairs with Alya and Plagg on her heels.

Someday, I'll be out there in the world and spread my own designs. One day I'll be free!
