Adrien struggles to sleep much since Marinette has left town.  He starts to take some sleeping pills to help him rest at night since it is not good for him to be up all evening.  The only bad thing about these is it makes him have bizarre dreams about him and her.

       Adrien's Dream #1

        Adrien is fast asleep when he dreams that Marinette came to see him.  He was happy to see her, but she behaved so strangely.  

     First, she shut the door to his room, locked it, and pull the shade down.  Then, she shoved him against the wall and kissed him on the lips.  He kissed her in return. 

     As they kiss, Marinette pulls off his shirt, then she grabs his hand and pulls him towards his bed.  She shoves him into the center of the bed.  She climbs onto it and starts to kiss him again. 

      Marinette removes her shirt and shorts.  Now she has on a cute two-piece swimsuit.

     Adrien blushes when he sees how hot she looks in it. He lets her remove his shirt.

        He kisses her this time and the next thing he knows they are hugging each other too.

         Adrien does not let things go too far, he insists they wait till they are married to make love, and she grins.  "Oh, this a proposal then, Adrien?"  Marinette teases him.

       Marinette stands up, puts her shirt and shorts back on over her swimsuit, kisses him bye, and leaves.

    Second Dream
        Adrien is in his bathroom this time.  He is married to Marinette.   He thinks she is away at work when she comes into the bathroom, shuts the door, and turns on the shower.

    He is surprised she is home, but happy to see her just the same. 

     Marinette smirks at her husband, as she steps into the shower, so Adrien climbs in to join her.    The two kisses and let us just say things get a bit steamy since they are married.

      After this, Adrien and her finish the shower a few minutes later, dry off, get dressed, and go enjoy a nice meal together.   Adrien recalls it is their anniversary and is glad she was home to spend it with him.

   End of Dream 2

    Dream 3

      Adrien dreams he and Marinette are in bed together.  He does not recall how it came to this,  only that they are together.  He is glad to have her with him though. It makes things rather nice.

    "Marinette, how did come to all this?" Adrien asks.

     "Silly, last night you asked me to marry you, I said yes, a pastor came over and wed us, so here we are," Marinette answers.

     Adrien smiles at her, and notices then they both have matching wedding bands on.  He feels silly not to have realized this sooner.  He smiles at his lovely wife.

     Marinette and Adrien, get up, prepare for the day, and go their separate ways for work.

      Later, Adrien comes home and sees another man there, he is furious and is about to insist his wife have the marriage annulled.  He thinks it is over since she is unfaithful.

      "Look, man, I am her brother, and I came over to make sure things are cool," The guy says.

      "How do  I know this is true?"  Adrien asks.

      "Adrien, he is my brother, honest,"  Marinette replies.

    "Did you kiss her on the lips?" Adrien asks him.

     "Yuck, that would be wrong since she is all yours," The dude responds.

       "Fine, I am convinced you are telling the truth," Adrien replies.

           Marinette hugs Adrien, then kisses him.  Adrien sobs and says, "Sorry, ever doubted you."

         "Oh, it is okay, I forgive you, Adrien," Marinette tells him.

            Marinette's brother smiles and leaves so as to give them so privacy.

end of Third Dream...

      Adrien's three dreams repeat themselves for the next two months.

       "Adrien, I worry about you,"  Plagg says.

      "What for?  I am sleeping now, so why should you?" Adrien asks.

     "I know it is just your three dreams all have to do with her, and they are all so strange," Plagg says.

      "I know, but what can I do about it?"  Adrien asks his kwami, who is also his friend.

     "Well, I suggest you ask Master Fu for advice since he is so wise," Plagg responds.

         "Plagg, let us go," Adrien says.

    Narrator's POV:
      Plagg and Adrien go to see Master Fu.   

      Master Fu listens as Adrien explains the situation to him, then Adrien waits to see what he says.

      "Adrien, I suggest you stop those pills immediately before something far dangerous happens to you,"  Master Fu states.

      "Stop them, but what about my sleeping troubles?" Adrien asks.

      "Look, the pills are not good, so stop them,"  Master Fu says. He hands him a few tea bags too.

         Adrien takes the tea bags, then goes back home.

           Later that evening, instead of a sleeping pill, Adrien drinks a batch of the tea.  

   Adrien's  POV:
      Adrien sleeps well despite no pills that evening.  He smiles a little in his sleep.

         Plagg notices and shakes his head, but is glad to see his friend is not so restless in his sleep this time.

        Adrien wakes up once in tears and says, "Plagg, what if she returns, but refuses to speak to me?"
  
        "Adrien, calm down, she has not said when she will return yet,"  Plagg reminds him.

      "Oh, you are right,"  Adrien responds with a small sigh.  He looks unsure of how to process what Plagg just told him.

      A few minutes later, he drifts back to sleep with less odd dreams.  Sure they still include Marinette in them, but they are not the same style ones as they were when he was using the medicine.

 Plagg's  POV:

   Good thing, Adrien took Master Fu's advice otherwise I do not know what I would do with him.

     He is relieved his friend is going to be okay.  He sure hopes that Adrien has no more bizarre dreams from here on out.

     It is not like he can be sure that he can handle it for much longer.  

     "Good night, Adrien,"  Plagg whispers so as not to wake him.  Soon, Plagg yawns and is asleep once more himself.

     Narrator's  POV:
        Two months later, Marinette arrives back in Paris, France.  She does not tell a soul she is back though.  She goes to her place and straight to her room. She unpacks, showers, dries off and puts on a pair of clean underwear, a bra, a  t-shirt, and shorts.  She steps into some cute sandals too.  

     The young lady is not sure how to proceed with her day after she applies deodorant, fixes her hair, puts on a little makeup, and finishes her breakfast.  So, she sits on her balcony a bit to think.
