Narrator's POV:
           Adrien has not been the same since Marinette made sure he got the watch and letter. Let alone since he found out a few days later she left town the same day he was given these items from her.  The strange thing was the way she went about doing it.  Instead, of handing them to him herself she gave them to Alya and told her to hand them to him.  This is something he never has been able to understand.
     
          Marinette's  POV:
             Marinette has been away for two weeks already.  She is not sure how to respond to her sudden knowledge that she longs to let Adrien hold her close. She blushes when she realizes just how that sounds. She dares not to speak of such a thing out loud.  She is even more confused now than she was when she first came out here for some alone time.  It is ironic how things turned out now.  

           Adrien's  POV:
            Adrien thinks why did she feel a need to leave town anyway?  He does not get it. He was sure he was careful not to make her feel uncomfortable around him. He did not even kiss her for crying out loud.  It is not like he went out of the way to be romantic.  If anything he chose to do the complete opposite since she makes it clear she does not see him this way.

      "Plagg, you have any idea what made her leave?"  Adrien asks sadly.

     " No, sorry, Adrien," Plagg answers.

     "It is just that I thought she was okay with being my friend once I chose not to display any physical contact with her," Adrien explains.

        Plagg's POV:
       Plagg thinks Adrien is way to hard on himself.  There is no need for him to feel down just because Marinette can not figure out her feelings.  He sure does mope a lot more when she is not around.

      "Girls are such complications this is why you should try Camembert," Plagg tells him.

     "Plagg, you can not begin to compare girls to cheese least of all Marinette,"  Adrien scoffs.

     "Oh, and why not it smells bad just like you and Marinette's relationship is off on a bad note,"  Plagg teases him.

     "Plagg that is not funny," Adrien retorts.

     "Sorry, Adrien, but you need to learn not to depend on her so much for love," Plagg replies.

       Master Fu's  POV:

        Plagg is his usual rude self I see. 

          Adrien misses Marinette because he loves her.  How can I get him and Marinette together when she left Paris for who knows how long?  It is not like she says when she plans to come back or if she will come back for that matter.  No wonder, Adrien looks so glume lately.

         He decides to visit Adrien to see how he holds up without his crush in site.

          "Adrien, are you home, young man?"  Master Fu asks.

            "Yes, so what is it?" Adrien asks.

            "Adrien, goodness you look awful.   You look like you have not slept in days," Master Fu comments.

       "Well that is probably because I have not slept in days," Adrien replies with sarcasm in his voice.

        "Adrien this is not healthy.  It is not like you to slack off on your well-being," He says.

         "Oh, yeah well tell that to Marinette!"  Adrien yells at him.

     
       Adrien's  POV:

        Adrien knows he should have not blown up like that in front of Master Fu's face, but he was sick and tired of everyone pointing out the obvious. He was all torn up inside since Marinette left because he thought that he might not see her again.  It was something that made him feel as if he were a lovesick boy.  He did not know what to do because try as he might he could not just forget her.  If anything her being away made him love her even more.

     "Sorry, I snapped at you.  It is not your fault she left when she did," Adrien says.

      "It is alright, Adrien,"  Master Fu says.

      "He is such a sour puss,"  Plagg teases.

     "Plagg, it is not nice to tease him so much,"  Master Fu rebukes him.

     "The confusing this why did she want me to have the watch anyway when I am not even related to her,"  Adrien points out the obvious.

     "You do not think she...Nah, forget it," Adrien says.

      Plagg's  POV:
         Plagg wonders what it was Adrien was about to say when he stopped himself.

          He admits he hates to see Adrien so bent out of shape about a girl.  Then, again if she makes him happy it is no wonder he misses her.

          "Do not think she what?" Plagg asks calmy.

       "Yes do tell us," Master Fu remarks.

        "Just forget it because the idea is ridiculous," Adrien says.

         " Adrien, I think the young lady left for reasons we can not understand,"  Plagg says.

        

     Master Fu's POV:
        Master Fu thinks Marinette's action sure seems to complicate things now do they not?  He wonders what all goes through her mind anyway?  It is not like he could convince her to return.  Besides, it is not him her emotions are all over the place about anyway.  He is sure of it that Marinette does love Adrien.  What he does not know is why she refuses to allow herself to be happy?

     " I believe what Plagg means is that Marinette has no clue how she feels,"  Master Fu explains.

      "She seems to be the type who refuses to admit to much anyway,"  Plagg agrees.

      "What on earth does this all mean?" Adrien asks.

        "It means she has to discover for herself how she feels deep down before she can find happiness,"  Master Fu replies.

      
     Adrien's  POV:

       Adrien frowns as he thinks about how she brushes him off and when he least expects it takes off without so much as a word to him.  He can not help but feel a bit sorry for himself.  He is all torn up.

       "Plagg, Master Fu, no offense, but I think I need some time to think," Adrien says.

       "Fine, I think I can give you some time alone,"  Master Fu says.

      " Same here, and we will be here for you after you have a chance to process everything,"  Plagg says.

      Narrator's  POV:   

      After Plagg and Master Fu leave the room, they carry on a conversation out of earshot of Adrien.  Both of them worry about how he will react if it turns out that she has no intention to come back home.  It is not like they can find ways to keep him stable.

        "Master Fu, we must find a way to contact her," Plagg says.

     "Sorry, Plagg, but that would not be right," Master Fu answers.

     "Oh, and just why not?"  Plagg asks.

      "If she does not wish to be disturbed then even the slightest phone call might set her off," Master Fu explains.

      "I suppose you are right,"  Plagg says with a sigh.

     Plagg's  POV:

      Plagg thinks that Adrien might just lose it if Marinette does not contact him soon.

       He has a feeling it will not be long until they find out.
