Marinette's  POV:

   I have not seen him in a few days. By him, I mean my Chat, who also happens to be my Adrien.

    I smile as I prepare for the day and go to see him.

  I can not wait to speak with him once more.

 As I head out the door, I grab my purse with Tikki inside it as I notice the sun is out.  

      "Tikki, it is a fantastic day."

     I ran to Nino's in a hurry.

   Adrien's POV:

    I sighed in disappear. Perhaps, she had forgotten me at last.

   "Nino, do you think she will ever come?"

     I heard Nino laugh as he replied, "By her, I assume you mean Marinette?"

    I blushed.  "How did you know?"

    "Dude, that is all you speak about anymore."

    I smiled. I knew Nino was right.

    Nino's POV:

    "I think I hear someone at the door."

    I went to answer it.   I pulled it open, and the woman on Adrien's mind walked inside.

    "Dudette, he asked about you, you know." 

     I saw her face turn bright red.  

     I totally shipped those two.

     "Right, this way, woman."  

       I teased her a little.

    Marinette's  POV:

    I followed Nino to the room where Adrien stayed.

    I saw him flash a smile at me and his eye lit up despite his disability.

    "Hi, how are you holding up?"

      Nothing prepared me for his answer. Not in a million years.

    Adrien's  POV:

     "Marinette, I thought you had forgotten me, m'lady."

       I voiced the way I felt right then and there.

        "A-Adrien, I could never forget you."

          I could tell her response was genuine.

          "I missed you."

         "I missed you, too,"  I listened as she spoke.

          I felt my heart race in excitement at her words.

          Crash!  Boom!  Crash!  This was the noise outside.

         I could tell without any vision due to the loud racket out there.

         Plus, I heard Nino as he yelled,  "It looks like  Hawkmoth strikes again!"

            "Another akuma attack, already?"  

                "Why now?"  The familiar voice of my Marinette whined.

               "I will hide in the basement."

               "You okay, here, man?"

                  "Yes, you go ahead."

                   Nino left the room, and the door slammed.

                  "It is just me, and you now, Bugaboo."

                Marinette's POV:                  

                 I groaned at his comment.

                It could take a while to get used to all this.

               "Yes, it sure is Chanton."

                  "Tikki spots on!"

             I felt the transformation take place.

             I kissed Adrien, then pulled away.

                "Wh-what was th-that f-for?"

               "It is a kiss for good blessings for you, kitty."

                   I  opened the window and swung away to see what villain dared to trouble Paris this time.

               Adrien's  POV:

                "Psst, Plagg, you good?"

                "Adrien, yes, but..."

               "I do not have time for your excuses. Ladybug needs me."

                "Plagg claws out!"

                I felt a flash of green surround me.  At least I assumed it was green since that is my favorite color.                 

                  I extended my stick and leaped outside.

                   I used my senses of smell and touch to guide my path.

                 I was sure just around the corner was Ladybug.

                I hoped I was not wrong.

         Tikki's POV:

         I was pulled into the earrings as Marinette transformed.

        I felt bad for Chat.

     This was his first mission since the incident and I wondered how he would take it.

        I supposed he would be okay. At least he still had Plagg to help him and his trusty baton.

        I smiled as I thought about how great it was to be back in action again.

         It had been days since the last akuma attack, and now I got to help do hero work behind the scenes again.

         Plagg's  POV:

            I was sucked into the tight space called a ring again.

           Agh, I hated this. I just put on a tough act so no one would know.

          At the same time, I secretly could not wait for Ladybug and Chat Noir to show the latest crook their piece of mind.

        I was sure they would win as usual.

     I mean, why not?

     It was not like they had lost a battle yet.

     I  grinned with the knowledge that Chat had not lost his sense of humor, his flirty behavior, or his sense of reality.
