Chapter 10
Back at Theo's kingdom the wedding had begun and sunset was an hour away. Marinette nervously looked at the window as the priest spoke.
"Good people." He said. "We gather here today to bear witness the union of our new king and queen."
"Um excuse me. Could we skip ahead to the I do's?" Marinette asked.
Theo chuckled. "Go on."
Outside people ran in fear from the giantess who put Adrien and Plagg down.
"You guys okay?" Tikki said.
"Yeah if we need you we'll whistle." Plagg said. Adrien ran toward the chapel with Nino following him. "Hey! Kid what are you doing?" He stopped him. "You wanna do this right don't ya?"
"What are you talking about?"
"There's a line! There's a line! The priest is gonna say speak now or forever hold your peace and that's when you say I object."
"Oh, I don't have time for this!" He said annoyed. He tried to go inside but Plagg pulled him aside.
"Wait! What are you doing? Listen to me!" He pinned him to the wall. "Look you love this woman, don't you?"
"Yes."
"You wanna hold her!"
"Yes."
"Please her!"
"Yes!"
"Then you gotta, gotta, try a little tenderness! The chicks love that romantic crap."
"Alright! Cut it out! When does this guy say the line?"
"We gotta check it out."
"And so by the power vested in me." The priest said.
"What do you see?" Adrien said throwing Plagg up so he could get a better look.
"The whole town's in there." Plagg said as he went up and down.
"I now pronounce you man and wife." The priest said.
"They're at the alter."
"If anyone objects."
"Fletchy! He already said it."
"Oh for the love of Pete!" Adrien shouted. The doors burst opened as he ran into the chapel. "I object!"
"Adrien?" Marinette gasped. "He's...He's here."
"Oh now what does he want?! Who let him in?! I'll have their head!" Theo demanded.
The crowd watched in awe as he walked in.
"Hi everybody." Adrien said. "Having a good time? Don't mind me I just need to say something to the bride."
"What are you doing here?" Marinette asked.
"Really! It's rude enough being alive when no one wants you!" Theo said. "But showing up to my wedding showing up uninvited!"
"Marinette, I need to talk to you." Adrien said.
"Now you wanna talk? Well it's a little late for that."
"But you can't marry him!" He said.
"Why not?"
"Because he's just marrying you to be king! He doesn't care about you."
"Outrageous!" Theo said. "Marinette ignore him!"
"He's not your true love." Adrien said.
"And what do you know about true love?" Marinette questioned.
"Well...I." He lost his confidence and started to stutter. "I mean...I...I think I-"
"Oh this is hilarious!" Theo laughed. "A Cat Noir boy has fallen in love with a human princess! Oh good lord!"
Everyone burst out laughing at what they thought was a ridiculous display. Adrien's ears dropped and he blushed embarrassed and hurt. He looked at Marinette with sadness in his green eyes. She wasn't laughing but instead was looking at him amazed.
"Adrien, is this true?" She asked gently. He nodded, wonder filled her blue eyes.
"Who cares?!" Theo shouted. "It's ridiculous! A creature as ugly and disgusting as you falling for a girl as lovely and beautiful as Marinette, how stupid can you be? Marinette we're at a kiss away from our happy ending now kiss me!"
He puckered his lips. Marinette backed away then saw the sun was going to set. "By night one way by day another." She looked at Adrien again. "I wanted to show you before."
She made her way to the window, Adrien took a few steps forward and raised his hand to her. The sun went down, pinkish-reddish dust surrounded her. Her nails turned red while her mask and wings appeared. The crowd gasped, the priest choked on his drink, and a hand maid fainted. Adrien looked at her wide eyed.
"Well...uh." He said. "That explains a lot."
Marinette smiled a little.
"Ugh! It's disgusting!" Theo scoffed. "Guards! Guards! I order you to get them out of my sight!"
"No! Don't!" Marinette pleaded. "Adrien!"
"Marinette!" Adrien said running to her. The guards grabbed and separated them. Adrien and Marinette's hands reached for each other but the guards kept them apart.
"This hocus pocus! Alters nothing!" Theo said. "This marriage is binding and that makes me king!"
"Actually sir, not really." The priest said. "Since there was an objection."
"Shut up you!"
"No! Let go of me!" Marinette said struggling. "Adrien!"
"No!" Adrien shouted. "Get out of my way! Marinette!" He punched and scratched the guards best he could but there were too many.
"You beast! I'll have you drawn and quartered!" Theo declared.
"No! Don't hurt him!" Marinette begged.
"And as for you my wife!"
"Don't you touch her!" Adrien growled. "Marinette!"
"I'll have you locked back in that tower for the rest of your days!"
Adrien broke his hand free and whistled. Suddenly Tikki came crashing through the window and incenerated Theo dead with her firey breath.
"Alright nobody move!" Plagg called from up top of Tikki's head. "I got a loaded dragon and I'm not afraid to use her! I'm a cat on the edge!"
Everyone clapped relieved that their tyrant had finally been defeated.
Adrien approached Marinette and gazed at her lovingly.
"Uh Marinette?" He said.
"Yes Adrien?" She said.
"I...I love you."
"Really?"
"Really really."
"I love you too."
Their lips met in a kiss, it was soft and passionate.
"Awww!" The crowd sighed.
Suddenly Marinette was lifted into the air as her lips parted from his. Pink and red light surrounded her in a bright flash, she was gently laid back down.
"Marinette?" Adrien rushed to her side and helped her up. "Marinette, are you okay?"
"Well yes but..." She looked at herself, she was still a ladybug hybrid. "But I don't understand, I'm supposed to be beautiful."
Adrien smiled at her. "But you are beautiful."
"I...am?"
"My god, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
She smiled at him happily.
"I was hoping this would be a happy ending." Plagg said.
After that the two of them were married in the forest witnessed by all the creatures and humans.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife." The priest said.
They kissed and hurried to the carriage that would take them on their honeymoon but not before Marinette threw the bouquet which Tikki caught. She grabbed Plagg and pulled him into a kiss. Then they rode off to their honeymoon.
Plagg got on stage with Ivan, Kim, and Jagged Stone.

"Let's rock this joint!" He said. "Come on y'all."
"Then I saw her face. Now I'm a believer
Not a trace, a doubt in my mind
I'm in love, ooooo-awwwe!
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried.
Then I saw her faaaace! Now I'm

doubt in my mind.
I'm in looooove! I'm a believer!
I believe, I believe, I believe, Y'all sing it with me."
"I believe." Everyone sang. "I believe, I believe."
"I belieeeeve!"
And of course they all lived Happily Ever After. Not the usually fairy tale but just as good. A black cat brave enough to be a knight, a princess who turned out to be a lovely ladybug, and a talkative cat. I do hoped you enjoyed this story.
