Chat leaned against the wall panting as he watched Sabrina walk off in a rage after her akumatization. Dealing with people you can't see is surely a pain to deal with... He sighed as he watched his time run down.

"Nice job kitty~" Ladybug slurred as she placed her yo-yo back to her side.

"Yeah.. Yeah.." He mumbles under his breath... "Look its about time I go, you should too.."

She pouts, "already?~ What a CATastrophe (pun intended if you didn't know), oh well." She laughs, " See ya kitty." She gives a wink before running off.

He sighs deeply, "Thank God.." He whispers before his beeping ring brings him back to the situation and he looks around before dashing toward the nearest corner. Right in doing so he detransforms and plagg falls out from the ring.

"Soooo Tireed~" He complains laying on the ground.

"Yeah, I know but hurry up! I-I have to get back to Mari..." He frowns as Plagg tiredly limps into the pocket of his apron. He stands as he goes to head back to the bakery kitchen.

'Wonderful job today Adrien..' A voice comes from within his mind

"Yeah.. Thanks.." He mumbles before returning to the kitchen.

"Adrien!" Marinette cheers as she comes around a corner. "You're safe! I was um, going to find you after I contacted ladybug."

"I- Um.." He breaks out into  nervous laughter. "Y-Yeah, I-I hid.." He stutters.

"Oh well thats one way to do it." She smiles. "I guess that means we can resume the show.." She speaks slowly as she looks toward a certain man in a dark suit.

He wasn't the skinniest among men, but he was muscular and tall, he didn't seemed pleased by the situation but he wore a still face. He strides over his shoes making clacking noises as he goes as and he stops at the counter.

"Marinette..." He says lowly.

"Y-Yes papa?.." She staggers on her words. Adrien's Eyes widen in surprise, she always seemed so composed and cheerful in her words, it felt awkward to see her stumble on them.

"We have no need to continue, clean up and return to your room, take this detail with you, we're cancelling the show tonight.." His voice is deep and brooding as he glares down at the small blonde boy with intimidation.

Adrien could only break into a nervous sweat as Marinette swiftly scoots him away toward the stairs.

"Come on Adrien..." She says quieter than usual. "You heard my papa, lets just hang out in my room until my father says otherwise.."

'she's acting so different...' He thinks to himself as he nods and follows behind her up the stairs. She opens the door softly and quietly heads in taking Adrien with her as she unties her apron and folds it into her laundry basket.

"I'm sorry.." She remarks smiling rather sadly. "I didn't think such things would happen while you came.. I'm sure, Papa will find a way to work the ending into the stream..."

"N-No need to apologize, I-It's all cool, I-I mean not as c-cool as you of course, b-because, I mean-" Marinette raises a questionable look and Adrien lowers his tone down to stop talking.

"Well... " She pauses adjusting herself to change the current conversation. "What is it you would like to do?"

He flushes before shaking the idea from his head, such thoughts are for pervs, and instead he hesitantly suggests a movie to which she humbly agrees with.

the only thing that confused him was, Why was she so different with her family?....

Hello Everyone! Yes cheers to an actual chapter! This actually made me terribly sad while writing this, Marinette is naturally such a kind loving character, and I felt terrible with the personality switch with her father (he's personally one of my favorite characters), I really don't mean anything bad by it, I'm just using it for the plot so please don't hate me for it :'( Ugh I'm so sad by this, but hazah to a new chapter! I'm also currently on episode 11 of the series of rewatching it so yaaaay. Anyway sorry for the terribly long wait, and I hope to get this going again,

Love you all,

Becky~
