No one's pov

Plagg and Tikki walked out into the woods at midnight, it was a full moon out and once they reached the middle of the woods they stepped into a ring of mushrooms. Suddenly three women and two men appeared. One man was green all over, the other man was purple. The women all had wands and wings on their backs, the first woman was blue, the second was yellow, and the third was orange.

"Tikki!" The three women said hugging her.

"How are you?" The yellow one asked.

"I'm fine thank you." Tikki said.

"We've missed you so." The orange one said.

"And I have missed you."

"Well let's get down to business." The blue one said.

She made a table with seven chairs appear and they all sat down.

"So progress report." The blue woman called Duusu asked "What are your missions?"

"An evil dwarf has turned a boy called Ivan into a bear." The green man named Wayzz said. "I need to help him find someone who will help him defeat the dwarf to break the spell. He's already met two young peasant girls. There names are Alix and Mylene."

"How long has he been a bear?" The purple man named Nooroo asked.

"At least three years. What about you?"

"Kim insulted an old witch who turned him into a frog. To be freed a princess must kiss him. I've decided to serve as his faithful servant til the spell breaks."

"A mermaid named Rose asked me to turn her into a human so she could be with a Prince named Ali." The orange woman named Trixx sighed. "But she cannot speak in her human form and if her prince loves another she must turn to sea foam."

"How sad." The yellow woman named Pollen said.

"I tried to talk her out of it but she wouldn't listen."

"Poor girl." Pollen said. "There is a princess named Juleka who has fallen asleep for a hundred years and so she will remain until I can find a prince to kiss her."

"Good luck with that. How did that happen?"

"A fairy did it because she didn't get invited to her sixteenth birthday party. Overreact much?"

"There is a woman kind and honest but no child or family to love her so I granted her wish to have a child by bringing her doll Manon to life." Duusu said. "But to make her a real girl she must be brave, truthful, and unselfish."

"Didn't you do that with a toy maker in Italy a couple centuries back?" Wayzz asked.

"Yes."

"What do you have Plagg and Tikki?" Nooroo asked.

"Ours was a handsome young prince turned into a beast by a witch after he rejected her." Plagg said.

"It was Lila wasn't it?" Nooroo said.

"None other."

"That girl is trouble!" Pollen said.

"This is your fault!" Wayzz said to Trixx. "Why did you teach her how to use magic?"

"I was only trying to help her. She wasn't always so wicked, she was once just a sad young girl who needed help."

"Well now all she does is torture mortals!" Pollen said.

"Enough!" Duusu said. "Trixx is not to blame she was only doing what she was supposed to do. Our mission as good witches and wizards are to help mortals who suffer supernatural problems. Plagg, Tikki, continue."

"His only hope of ever returning to normal is to fall in love and earn love in return." Tikki said.

"But he only has two years and one year has already past." Plagg said.

"However a beauty with the heart of an angel has agreed to stay with him." Tikki added. "She sees not with her eyes but with her heart and we hope she is the one to free him."

"At this point his heart already beats for her." Plagg said. "He lives only to make her happy and to see her smile."

"He no longer cares to break the curse, all he wants is for her to love him as much as he loves her. For she is the first the person since the death of his mother to show him any true kindness."

"How wonderful." Duusu said. "Alright everyone we'll meet back here at the next full moon to discuss progress until then I wish you all good luck."

With that all five of them disappeared into colorful dust and flew away into the night. But Duusu stayed behind for a moment to speak with Plagg and Tikki.

"We really do miss you Tikki and we hope that someday you can come home." Duusu said. "Good luck little sister."

Then her body disappeared into stardust.

"You really miss home huh?" Plagg asked.

"Yes." Tikki sighed.

Plagg gently put his hand on her back, right over the scars where her wings had been cut off. She began to cry.

Marinette's pov.

As the months went by my fear of Cat Noir began to vanish and I actually started to like him. We spent almost everyday together, we were either reading books in the library, tutoring with Plagg, working in the garden, or just talking. In the library we read books like The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Phantom of the Opera. Cat Noir liked those books but at the same time he hated how the characters like Quasimodo and Erik never ended up with the beautiful girl they were in love with. Other books we read were more cheerful and happy like Les Miserables and Princess Bride which I adored. I loved the romance and adventure in the stories and would often picture myself being in the story watching the events take place.

After reading the books we would watch movies based off of them and discuss the differences.

"So what did you think?" He asked me when we finished one movie.

"Wonderful but the ending is very sad. I felt very sorry for Erik."

Adrien's pov.

"Yeah, poor guy. All he ever wanted was to be loved." Just like someone else I know I thought. "So which was your favorite."

"The Princess Bride. The love between Wesley and Buttercup is so romantic."

"Did you read books and watch movies like that often."

"Yes. When I was little I would read fairy stories, you know the ones that always have happy endings. Then I would pretend I was a princess waiting for a prince to rescue me. Silly huh?"

"Well that's normal for most little girls." I giggled. "So did you ever meet a prince? Or you know have a boyfriend."

"No. I never had a boyfriend but I did have someone in mind."

I thought I would choke. "Who?"

"Adrien Agreste." She said.

"What was he like?" A lump formed in my throat which only grew when I heard her next word.

"Perfect." She said. "Popular, handsome, rich. Pretty much what every girl dreams of but it wasn't his looks or title I was attracted to."

"Then what was?"

"He was always so confident, so sure of himself. Me, I was just some clumsy, shy girl. He was also so polite and kind to everyone. I remember one night at a dance he gave me a beautiful white rose and I thought I would die from happiness. I always wondered why he would give it to a nobody like me."

"You're not a nobody. Who would dare say that to you?"

"Chloe Bourgeois." Marinette said. "A popular, beautiful but spoiled brat. She was Adrien's girlfriend or so she said. But she only liked him for his looks and money."

"So what happened to him?"

"I don't know. He disappeared, Chloe told everyone he had become a freak and his father sent him to asylum."

I cringed when I heard this. Why would Chloe say that? Why couldn't she just say she didn't know?

"But I never believed her."

"Why is that?"

"Because Adrien is not a freak. I don't care what anyone says he'll always be wonderful to me. I asked his father but all he told me was that he had gone to a boarding school. I just hope he's not..." She fought her tears best she could.

"Dead?" I said. Marinette collapsed on her knees in tears crying silently. I quickly got down with her and hugged her. "I'm sorry I didn't-"

"It's okay. " I helped her up.

"Tikki should have lunch ready by now. Let's go eat." I said.

She nodded and we went to the kitchen. That night I could hardly sleep, I was lost in thought of what she had said. She had liked me for who I was but that was my old self. It made me start to lose hope. I rolled up my sleeve, the last pink rose on my tattoo had wilted away, all that remained were white and red ones. Time was running out.
