"What's your Kwami's name?" Emma asked Queen Bee who was stunned by Emma's odd question.

"Kwami?" Queen Bee replied acting like the word was foreign to her tongue.

"Tikki's one." Emma proudly said.

"Your imaginary friend?" Queen Bee hearing her talk about Tikki with the other kids but assumed it was nothing more than fiction.

"She's red and has a black spot right here." Emma pointed to her own forehead.
Queen Bee thought about telling Carapace. This could be a lead to the whereabouts of Ladybug proof that she wasn't dead or that there was a newly selected Ladybug.

Queen Bee stared at Emma's ears until she noticed they weren't pierced. She was relieved that a ten had been chosen as the next Ladybug holder.

"How do you know about Kwamis?" Queen Bee bluntly asked hoping she would receive a satisfying answer.

"It's a secret." Emma said putting her finger to her lips and making a shushing sound.

"I'll give you some candy if you tell me." Queen Bee said hoping that she was as easy to bribe with sweets as her three kids.

"Nope." Emma said. Queen Bee knew she would have to investigate. Alya walked over and told her it was time to leave.

"But Auntie!" Emma whined. Queen Bee laughed at Emma calling Alya her Aunt. Even know they weren't related. Queen Bee wished that she had siblings or at least someone she considered family as close as Alya and Marinette were.

Sure, her and Sabrina were close but Sabrina was needy she always agreed with Chloé on everything. She was best friends with Adrien but they started dating ruining their friendship. Chloé had cheated on Adrien multiple times during their romantic endeavors. The effect being her two pregnancies.

Felicity, Felicia, and Cole were blessings in disguise. They weren't planned but being a mother even if it wasn't a very good one caused her to grow up. She was jealous that Marinette handles being a single mother better than her. She was jealous that Marinette had time to spend with her daughter.

Emma reminded Queen Bee of a certain someone. She had the green eyes then the puns but the secrecy also seemed so familiar. "Alya, does she remind you of someone?" Queen Bee asked as Emma tried to pry Levi off of Carapace's leg.

"She reminds me a lot of her mother." Alya replied.

"Yes, how can I forget you two are good friends." Queen Bee said not bothering to hide the jealousy in her tone of voice.

"Since, middle school." Alya added wondering if friendship was a sore point in her fellow hero's life.
