Looping Mechanics
The first person to start looping is the anchor, an anchor always has to be in the loop for there to be other loopers
When a looper or anchor is active is called awake
A fused loop is when one or more people from a loop go to another loop
The administrator basically takes care of the loop and makes sure that everything runs more or less smoothly
If the anchor dies then the whole loop crashes
Any powers or abilities gained in other loops (and occasionally the home loop) can be used again
In this particular case most (excluding Master Fu and Hawkmoth temporarily) who have a miraculous are anchors

Marinette woke up to the sound of an alarm. She turned it off.
"Honey are you up?" Crap, she was going to be late for school. Where was Tikki to wake her up?
"Tikki?" The little bug like creature was nowhere to be seen. Her hands flew to her ears, the earrings were gone!
The girl shot out of bed and flew to the computer. Searching for references to Ladybug or Chat Noir she found none. And the date, the date was all wrong.
"Marinette?" Her mother peeked her head into the room, "Something wrong?"
"Fine mom!" The girl's words were rushed and mostly unbelievable.
"Sure honey, just make sure you are ready on time." Marinette let out the breath she was holding when her mom left.
First things first, what was going on? The last thing she remembered was walking into that room with the 'Grand Master' as Tikki had called him. Tikki missing was an issue too, where could she be? Could someone have taken her?
The whole morning was Dejavu, everything from the cereal to the macaroons that her father gave her. Now all she needed was that old man that had fallen in front of the bus. Suddenly, there he was, right in the middle of the road once again.
Marinette lunged for the man, pulling him out of harm's way. The macaroons spilled again though, oh well.
"Thank you my dear." Wait… was he-? She could hear the bell ring.
"I'm late!" Marinette picked up the partially empty box of treats and began to run toward the school. She could have sworn the man behind her said something as she dashed off.
Adrein's day was not going well. First he woke up to find that Plagg was no longer there, nor was his ring. Then he was told that he did not actually go to school or ever had.
On the upside he didn't have the stinky cheese smell.
So, taking all of those facts into account, he decided to try and make it to school.
This time he intended to not get caught. Maybe he was getting a redo to do everything right. As long as he got to see his lady all should be alright.
First day was a disaster. He was found once again, he did try to plead, he really did. That and the old man he helped up once again.
Second day not so much of a disaster. He got Plagg back (is that actually a good thing?) and was Chat Noir again. Perhaps he could see his lady again.
Chat Noir strutted down his staff, maybe Ladybug would drop in again, that would be nice.
"Kitty? Oh never mind you're not going to be any help." He spun around to see Ladybug leaning against the wall behind him.
"Whaaa? Weren't you supposed to fall down on me and we get tangled in your yo-yo?" His lady suddenly perked up.
"So you remember!" All of the akumas! Then the last one was Volpina and she tried to trick us into thinking she was a superhero!
"Yes?" Ladybug remembered too!
"Thank god Chatton, I was worried that I was just going crazy!" She hugged him and he wanted to jump for joy. His lady was hugging him!
"Uh Chat?" A red spotted hand was waved in his face.
"Of course m' lady, you were saying." The spotted hero shook her head.
"Oh Chat."
1.2
The duo (Ladybug and Chat Noir for those who didn't guess) had gone through everything again. Of course that lead to them walking up again in their own beds after walking into a room and whatever Chat was doing. This time there was a slight difference.
"Tikki?" Marinette looked up at the small bug creature hovering above her. The one in question just shook her head.
"Marinette." The kwami looked confused, "why did we go back in time?"
"Again!" Sure once or twice was good but three times! Why her!
"Again?" Tikki echoed.
"Back to sleep, maybe it's just a dream."
"But Marinette! You have school!"
"Just sneak out as Chat Noir kid, who cares what you father will think."
"Plagg! I can't do that!" Adrien was having an argument with his kwami. He had gone through much the same thing as Marinette… except his kwami didn't really care much.
"Eh, fine. Just give me some cheese then kid." Adrien sighed and stuffed the protesting Plagg into his bag, promising some cheese later for the cat-like creature.
1.3
"I am your admin and you are looping!" Ladybug and Chat Noir shared a confused look. "Aw, you look so confused."
"Are you an akuma?" Chat had his head cocked to the side.
"Nope, I'm Kirsten and your loops admin!"
Ladybug leaned over to whisper in Cat's ear.
"Be ready to attack."
"You don't need to attack me! I just came to explain why you keep coming back to the same time." Another shared look of confusion. "You two sweethearts are looping, which means you go through a set period of time then come back and start it all over again."
"She's crazy."
"I can tell for myself Chat."
"I'll be watching lovebugs!" The woman promptly disappeared. Leaving a confused pair behind.
1.4
"Run!" Ladybug hollered to Chat as she ran away from the akuma army.
"When did Hawkmoth have this power!?"
"No idea but there is no way we can beat all of them."
"Stop!" They were both thrown at the feet of Lady Wifi, Stormy Weather, and Evillustrator.
"Crap."
1.5 KwamiDayCare
"ZzzzZzzzzZzz...Cheese….Camembert" and with that Marinette woke up so suddenly Plagg flew across the room.
"Plagg, but you're not, whe aren't you with, I NEED ANSWERS"
"Cheeeeeeeessseeee" Plagg said, still in slumber next to the giant tv in the room, TV! Where was her computer, her bed, Tiki, Adrian's pictures. This wasn't her room!
1.6
Marinette was not surprised by much, she had seen many strange things in her days. However she did not expect there to be a new Chat Noir and Ladybug. What surprised her more was that the Chat Noir was female and the Ladybug (Ladybeetle?) was male.
Of course she still had Tikki, just not the earrings. She assumed it was the same for the actual Chat Noir.
She did have a few theories for who they were, especially since there were two people who always seemed to vanish when the akuma showed up.
Adrien never knew he needed to have another Ladybug, or Chat Noir for that matter. Seriously though, watching their relationship was hysterical. Was that really what he was like with his lady? Of course Plagg taunted him about it but that's just Plagg.
He really wanted to be Chat Noir again.
1.7
"Kiddo wake up. Hey kid."
"Go away Plagg."
"But kid we have an issue."
"It's too early for that Plagg."
"Go look in the mirror kid."
Adrien dragged himself to the mirror. A blond haired girl looked back at him, he sure didn't scream like one.
