Adrien's  POV:
        My whole life is nothing more than a What if sequence now.

         I had to detransform after a few hours to feed Plagg.  I could not quench the guilt I felt over the whole thing. 

         What could I tell her parents?

          I  panicked at the thought of being the one to explain what happened. 

          If I told them as Adrien, they would want to know why I did not stop the bad guy.

            As Chat Noir, I would feel awkward because I failed to keep her from being kidnapped.

       See why I was puzzled about what to do in this situation.

        I needed the power of a second chance.   Did Luka still have the snake miraculous?

        I knew there was only one way to find out.  I needed to ask him. 

         I transformed despite Plagg's protest and headed towards the Cuffaine boat house.            

         "Luka Cuffaine, you here?"

       Luka pocked his head out around the corner.

      "Yes, Chat Noir, is that you?"

       "No, it is, the Easter Bunny.     Yes, it is me."

      "I need your help."

     "This new villain has the power to disappear, and he took Marinette with him."
   
          I saw Luka's eyes widen at the announcement.

         "Whoa, this is serious."

       "I need to borrow your miraculous so I can use the power to bring her back."

        Luka shrugs his shoulders.  "Okay, man, take good care of it and the girl."

          "I will, and thanks, Cuffaine."

           I slipped the snake miraculous over my left wrist.

         "Sass, Plagg Unify."

     The story continues in Chapter 2:  Unification, The Return of SnakeNoir

    Until then,

 bye-bye,

little owlets!

Summer out!
