Adrien pov.

Days had passed, I waited anxiously for spring. I hardly ever did everything anymore, I didn't tutor with Plagg anymore or talk with Tikki. Not even the roses made me happy because each one reminded me of her.

When she had first left, I cradled every rose she had ever touched until it wilted away. Once the roses she touched were all dead, I went into her bedroom and inhaled her bed sheets. They smelled of her scent which caused me to start crying into the sheets. At night when I could bring myself to sleep, I was tormented by dreams of my princess, my lady, my Marinette. Sometimes they were nightmares about her forgetting me and never coming back. Other times I would dream that she did come back and that she told me how much she loved me. I would be so happy but my joy would turn to sadness when I woke up to find her gone again.

I would just sit and look out the window waiting for her. Praying that she would keep her promise, that she wouldn't abandon me. Plagg and Tikki tried to comfort me but nothing they said or did could erase the pain in my heart. As time went on, winter would soon end and I eagerly awaited the first day of spring which was when she would come back not to mention the red roses were wilting away at an alarming rate.

"Don't forget me Princess." I thought. "Please don't forget me."

Marinette pov.

Although I was happy to be home with my friends and family I couldn't help but think about Cat Noir. He was always on my mind and I found that I missed him and that I was actually sad without him.

"Marinette is something wrong?" My dad asked.

"No, it's nothing."

"You're still thinking about him aren't you? Marinette did he hurt you while you were with him?"

"No. He was kind to me and he treated so well. He gave me everything I ever wanted and I didn't even have to ask...Mom, Dad, I...I promised that I would visit him in the spring."

"What?"

"Girl! Are you crazy?" Alya asked. "After all he did?"

"I know it's hard to understand but I actually enjoyed his company and I really like him."

"Marinette is he threatening to have your uncle arrested if you don't go back? Because I don't care what happens to him anymore."

"No Papa. He dropped the charges and he didn't force me to come back he asked me, invited me, I'll be leaving tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? But it's only been a month." My mom said. "You can't leave us again so soon."

"At least stay for one more week." My dad said. "It won't make much difference to him but it would mean the world to us."

"But I promised him I'd be back on the first day of spring."

"He's had you for almost a year, surely a month and one week longer won't hurt him." Alya said.

"Alright."

So I decided to stay a week longer than promised but I began to regret my decision shortly after because now Cat Noir was all I ever thought of. Then one night I had a disturbing dream, I dreamed of his garden but the roses were all wilting and dying. And in the middle of it, Cat Noir was on the ground crying.

"Marinette!" He howled. "You promised! Why didn't you come back? Marinette my heart breaking! You must come back! Please come back my love!"

He walked into the kitchen and pulled out a knife.

"If you have abandoned me then I see no point in living anymore."

He raised the knife and brought it toward his heart.

"No!" I screamed waking up. Tears streamed down my face, I shouldn't have stayed for so long. I got out of bed, slipped on my jacket, and rushed downstairs toward the door.

"Marinette?" Her dad asked sleepily. "What are you doing up at this hour?"

"I have to go back!" I cried.

"Go back? Where?"

"To him!"

"You can't leave now!"

"I must! He needs me!"

"Marinette it's far too late! And you don't have to go back right away."

"But I want to go back! Now! I love him! I want to be with him!"

I hurried outside and hailed a taxi.

"Marinette!" I heard my father call.

"Let her go Tom." I heard my mother say calmly. "It will be alright."

Normal pov.

Once again Tikki and Plagg met up with the other magic users.

"Progress report?" Duusu asked.

"Bad news on my part." Trixx sighed. "Prince Ali and a local princess are getting married tomorrow which means Rose must die but she will be welcomed in the kingdom of heaven."

"We're very sorry." Bebe said. "But I found a young artistic prince to awaken Juleka."

"That's great." Wayzz said. "Ivan's human again. The evil dwarf was killed and now he and Mylene are getting married."

"A spoiled princess lost her purse in the well where Kim was staying." Nooroo said. "She promised to be his friend and one day kiss him if he retrieved it."

"Wonderful." Duusu said. "Plagg, Tikki, how's it going?"

"Well it's..." Tikki said.

"It's over!" Plagg said. "She's never coming back!"

"Now you don't know that!"

"It's passed the day she promised!"

"Maybe something came up. Who knows maybe she's on her way back right now."

"I hope so because the kid doesn't have much time left."

"Poor Adrien. He hardly does anything now, he wishes he were dead but hasn't committed suicide thank God."

"Not yet."

"Plagg! Excuse us please." They left the table and went somewhere private. "What is the matter with you?"

"Tikki, you and I both know that's where he's headed. If she never comes back and I'm positive she won't then he's going kill himself sooner or later."

"We don't know that for sure. I really do believe that she loves him."

"You know what love is? It's stupid! Sure everything starts out great but then something bad happens like a curse or an accident or something getting stolen. Then one person becomes a burden while the other leaves! That's all it is! Pain! And lies!"

Tikki slapped him.

"Don't you say that!" She said with tears streaming down her face. "Don't you ever say that to me again! Do you hear me?! How can you say that?!" Plagg gave her a look of a regret. "Now you listen to me you lazy, immature, cheese loving bum! I don't care that you lost your eyes and that you're not as powerful as you used to be! If I did I would've left you a long time ago! Decades! Centuries! But I stayed! I gave up my wings! My home! My sisters! Why?! Because I love you! I have always loved you! And I will never leave you! So don't you dare think that I would ever grow my wings back and fly away from you! Because I love you! You idiot!"

"I'm sorry." He sighed. "I didn't mean it. I just..."

"I know." She said hugging him, he hugged back. "I know. But no matter what happens we will always be together."

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too. Even if you are a cheese loving idiot. But your my cheese loving idiot."
