"Wayzz great and small." Theo said. "How close am I to being king of them all?"

"Well my lord Adrien has successfully rescued Princess Marinette from the dragon's keep." Wayzz answered. "She's on her way."

"Excellent! I knew that disgusting creature had to be good for something." He laughed. "Soon my perfect princess will be here and I will be king."

"With all due respect my lord, what makes you so sure she'll marry you? Suppose she falls in love with someone else?"

"What's my competition? A half human freak and a talking cat. Yeah she'll definitely fall for one of them."

"Well maybe not the cat but Adrien-"

"Don't make me laugh! A black cat hybrid and a human princess?! Together?! That's stupid! They're too different."

"Not as different as you think. It all leads back to the thing that happens to the princess at night."

"Now is not the time I have to prepare for my wedding and my coronation."

"I understand that but-"

"Enough!"

"Fine! But don't say I didn't try to warn you."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." He said walking off.

"Why bother?" Nooroo asked Wayzz. "They never listen."

The next morning Marinette woke up just as the sun was beginning to rise. The boys were still asleep so she decided to go out to get some fresh air. She had always loved the morning, the sun, the fresh summer air, it all felt so nice and refreshing. She was so happy this morning that she began to sing, a bird tried to sing along with her but her voice was so high that the bird exploded.

"Oh my!" She gasped at the feather remains. "Mother always said my singing could break glass but she never said they'd kill birds then again she never let me get that pet canary I wanted."

She looked inside the nest to see three eggs. She went back to where the cave was, started a fire, and cooked the eggs. The smell woke up Adrien and Plagg.

"Good morning. How do you like your eggs?" She asked cheerfully.

"What's all this for?" Adrien asked. "You're not trying to poison me and Plagg are you? Of course if it was just Plagg I don't blame you."

"Hey!"

"No silly." Marinette giggled. "I'm just happy and I would like to apologize for how I acted. After all you did rescue me so I thank you."

"Um..okay." Adrien said.

"Also I picked some wild blackberries to eat on the trip and I made you each a daisy chain." She said. "I made yours tiny Plagg but it might look more like a collar than a chain."

"Sweet!"

Adrien looked at Plagg.

"What? I'll have you know white flowers go great with basic black."

"Here's one for you too Adrien."

"Uh...Thank you Princess but I'm not the flower type."

"Alright then. Well eat up because we have a big day ahead of us."

After they ate they continued further into the woods.

"Urp!" Adrien bleched

"Oh gross! Adrien!" Plagg said.

"Sorry but it's better out than in." Adrien said.

"But still, in front of a lady. Even I know that's wrong."

"Urp!" Marinette burped. Adrien and Plagg looked at her in surprise.

"Oh! Excuse me." She giggled.

"Whoa, she's as nasty as you are kid." Plagg said.

"Um...do you always burp Princess?" Adrien asked.

"Will you stop calling me Princess?" She asked.

"Sorry, would you prefer your highness or your majesty?"

"How about Marinette? After all that is my name."

"You want me to address you by your name?"

"Yes, I am human you know."

"Well I'm sorry but last I checked royals hate it when peasants and other non royals address them by their names."

"To be honest I always thought that was kind of silly. I mean what's the point of giving me a name if no one is going to call me that?"

"Huh...You know you're not what I expected."

"Well maybe you shouldn't judge people someone before you get to know them."

Adrien and Plagg was at a loss for words that is until out of no where someone swung down and grabbed Marinette.

"Princess!" He gasped.

"Wha...What are you doing?!" Marinette said when they landed on a tree.

"Be still Madamosile." The man said. "For I am your savior and I'm rescuing you from this..." He said kissing up her arm. "Beast."

Marinette tore her arm away in disgust.

"Hey!" Adrien called angrily. "That's my princess! Go find your own!"

"Please monster!" He said. "Can't you see I'm a little busy here?"

"Look pal!" Marinette scoffed. "I don't know who you think you are!"

"Of course how rude of me. I am Dark Blade at your service and these..." He whistled and a group of knights appeared with their swords pointed at Adrien and Plagg. "Are my knights."

"Listen buddy we don't want any trouble." Adrien said. "So just give Marinette back and we can leave with nobody getting hurt."

Dark Blade dropped from the tree and pointed his sword right at Adrien's chest.

"Very well then, we shall duel for her." He said. "Winner gets the girl."

"I beg your pardon!" Marinette shouted. "But don't I have a say in this?"

"Oh hush woman."

"How dare you!"

With that said she leapt down and kicked him right in his face knocking him out.

"Ugh! Men." She said annoyed. "So quick to claim a woman as his property."

"Oh you little!" One of the knights said.

He fired an arrow but Marinette dodged it and punched him in the face until he lost consciousness. Two more tried to grab her but she drop kicked them in their jaws and took out the last one with one fist.

Adrien and Plagg watched the whole thing in disbelief which only grew when her fighting demeanor quickly changed back to sweet and innocent.

"Shall we?" She asked smiling.

"Hold the phone. What was that?" Adrien asked.

"What?"

"That! What you just did! How did you do that?"

"Well when you're alone for most of your life you need to be prepared in case there's- there's an arrow your butt!"

"What?" He turned to see an arrow wedged into his bottom. "Whoa! I wondered what happened to that arrow."

"Oh my goodness! Are you alright? Does it hurt?"

"I don't know. I'm sure I can take it..." He tugged on it. "Ouch! Oh wow it's really in there."

"What happened?" Plagg asked.

"Adrien got hurt." Marinette said.

"Really? Where? Is he gonna die? Can I have your land if you die?"

"Plagg!" Adrien shouted.

"I'm just kidding. Geez lighten up. But seriously this looks bad, keep your legs elevated and hold still while I surgically remove this."

"Surgically remove?!"

"Relax I've seen doctors do it all the time. How hard can it be?" He grabbed one of the Knight's sword. "Okay this is gonna hurt you way more than it's gonna hurt me."

"Ahh! No! You stay away from me with that!"

"That won't be necessary Plagg." Marinette said taking the sword from him. "Run into the woods and find me a blue flower with red throns."

"Okay I'm on it."

He hurried off to find one.

"What's the flower for?" Adrien asked.

"For getting rid of Plagg and saving you from possibly getting chopped into little pieces."

"Oh." He breathed feeling relieved. "Thank you my lady."

"Your lady?" She said raising her eyebrow.

"Duh! I mean um...your highness."

"It's okay. Servants call me that all the time. Now you hold still and I'll yank this out." She pulled on the arrow.

"Ow! Hey! Easy with the yanking!"

"Well I'm sorry but it has to come out."

"No it's tender!"

"Don't move!"

"Time out!"

"Would you- okay what do you think we should do?"

Plagg found a whole field of the flowers Marinette requested but the problem was animals have no sense of color coordination.

"Blue flower red thorns, blue flower red thorns, this would be so much easier if I wasn't color blind." Plagg said.

"Ow!"

"Hold on kid! I'm coming!"

Adrien was on his stomach while Marinette tried to ease the arrow out.

"Ow! Not good!" He said.

"Okay I almost have it."

"Ow!" He shouted turning over knocking Marinette on top of him.

"Oh!" She gasped landing on his chest.

They blushed and blinked at each other then grinned nervously.

"Ahem!" Plagg said.

"Nothing happened!" Adrien said shoving her off.

"Uh-huh, sure." Plagg said.

"Trust me Plagg that's the last thing on my mind." Adrien said. Marinette scoffed at his comment but then saw he was distracted. "The princess was just- Ugggh!"

She had yanked it right out of his caboose and looked at him cleverly.

"Owwww..." He groaned softly.
