Adrien P.O.V.

I turned around to see Chloe, who was holding two ladybug print suitcases, like Alya's, running toward me. Her face was covered in a terrifying grin and too much makeup. No seriously, too much. Her face looked orange and her eye shadow wasn't even blended, her mascara was too thick, and her lipstick was an excessively light shade of pink. She threw her bags at a man following her - probably a butler of some sort - and wrapped her arms around me. I winced and pried her off of my body, seeing a stain of foundation and blue eye shadow on my jacket.

"Chloe! Seriously?" I groaned, and did the best to brush off the makeup, but that only made it worse. She just smiled and flipped her hair with hand, hitting Nino in the face. I glared at her.

"Oh come on Adriwavi, don't be mad. It was an accident," Chloe said and wrapped her arms around my neck, "Besides, blame Nino. He was in the way!"

"Nino did nothing wrong, Chloe."

"Puh-lease. He pushed my face onto your jacket!"

"Stop making up stories. You hugged me, got makeup on my jacket and then blamed it on my best friend. And honestly, I hardly even care that you got makeup on my jacket, I'm just upset about you framing Nino."

"C'mon Adrikins, it isn't a big deal. Anyway, Daddy told me I have to fly coach because he has to save his money for a get-together with him and some other important people! Can you believe it?! Coach?! Well, at least we'll be together, right baby?"

"One, I'm not your baby, and two, I'm flying First Class with Nino," I said, pulling Nino to my side. Chloe's jaw dropped.

"I won't be with you?! Wait, how can Nino afford First Class? He's not rich and important! If anything I should be in there with you," She whined. I groaned and explained to her that Father had said I could take one person onto First Class with me. Of course, Chloe complained that she should've been the one I chose, but I brushed her off and walked over to Mrs. Bustier. 

"Alright class! Please round up so I can take role!" Our teacher called, and the students formed a huddle, all facing Mrs. Bustier. She began to say our names and we all said 'here.' Well, everyone except for Marinette. I'm still confused about where my princess had gone off to, but it'll sure be great to see her when we arrive.

TIME SKIP

Nino and I stepped into First Class, which was pretty big considering it was a plane. 

We walked up to our side by side seats and to that Nino shouted, "Alright, dude! This is awesome! Do you always fly like this?" I nodded. You get pretty used to it after flying in First Class for, like, the 15th time this year. 

I grabbed the seat on the right and Nino grabbed the one next to me. We stretched our legs out on the footrests and ordered a bunch of food and sodas.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, we will be taking off, so please put your seatbelts on and relax," A man over the intercom said. Nino and I looked at each other with big goofy grins on your faces, ready to explore a whole new country...

P.O.V. CHANGE

Marinette P.O.V.

I froze. Friends...coming...China...royal...palace...family. My brain could hardly function at the thought of my classmates coming to China. They'll be visiting the palace, and will be meeting the royal family. My family! I didn't want them to find out! Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no! If they found out I was a princess - the princess of a country like China, I wouldn't be treated like a normal person ever again! I can't...deal... Great now I'm ranting to myself... Good job, Marinette, you've lost your rocker.

"Princess M-Marinette?" Ethan spoke softly. I snapped out of panic haze and looked into his chocolate brown eyes, and somehow, I calmed down - a little. My breath began to slow down and I finished walking over to where Ethan stood.

"I'm alright, thanks Ethan," I said, and flashed a smile. His face turned redder, and I began to worry if he was coming down with a fever. Then, his eyes went as big as saucers and he somehow got even redder than before.

"Oh! Please forgive me, Miss, but Empress Sabine, and Emperor Tom wanted me to tell you that they will be extending your stay here in China for another two weeks."

"Two weeks?! Um, would you mind telling me where they are now?"

"I last saw them in the rose garden behind the palace, it's around the corne-" Ethan was almost done talking, but after I heard what he was about to say I took off running toward the rose garden. Another two weeks? Don't get me wrong that sounds amazing, but my friends are coming, and I was kind of hoping to get out of meeting them as Princess Marinette Dupain-Cheng of China.

"Marinette?" 

I stopped running in the middle of a long hallway and searched for whomever might've said my name. That's when I remembered: Tikki! She was probably starving by now! I'd been so busy with finding out my true identity I forgot to feed her!

I opened my cross-body purse and saw Tikki curled up in a ball, clutching her stomach. She looked miserable and her eyes were barely open.

"Oh, Tikki! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! Uh, um, let's find the kitchen, I'm sure they'll have cookies in there!" I cried, and took off running in the opposite direction of the rose garden, trying to figure out where the kitchen was. After about five minutes of searching I found a restaurant sized kitchen with modern appliances and kitchenware. 

There were chefs and cooks all around the room, and when I entered they all looked at me. I stood there awkwardly as they bowed, then I ran up to one of them and asked, "Do you have any sort of sweets? Cookies preferably?"

The cook nodded his head, turned around, and came back with a plate towering with cookies. I grinned and took the plate, thanking the cook, and ran out of the kitchen. There was a corner  I went around so that no one would see Tikki, and she flew out. 

"Cookies!" Tikki exclaimed happily and swallowed a whole chocolate chip cookie in one bite. I giggled and hugged her, continuously apologizing for neglecting her. She assured me it was alright and I sighed. "I can't believe your a princess, Marinette! Isn't that amazing?"

"I guess? Well, you think it would be great, but I'm just so scared. I mean, I might have to rule over China one day. What if I fail..." I replied sadly. Tikki flew up to my face holding a cookie. 

"Marinette, you are so talented and amazing. You're creative and always think of a way to fix something. If you do rule China one day, I'm sure your subjects will support you no matter what."

"Thanks, Tikki. You always know how to make me feel better," I said and she hugged my cheek. I smiled softly as she flew down to the almost empty plate and continued nomming on her food. "Now, time to go talk to Maman and Papa about our extended stay. I mean, c'mon, what were they thinking?"
