Just then Mayor Bourgeois and his daughter appeared. After the incident earlier today, Chloe complained to her father that Plagg had viciously attacked her so he went to the sheriff to get permission to have him put down.

"That cat is a menace!" Chloe said. "Daddy's going to have him destroyed!"

"Destroyed? You can't!" Marinette said holding her kitten protectively.

"I'm sorry young lady but that cat of yours has snuck into my house several times." Andre said.

"Please Mr. Bourgeois, Plagg didn't know he was doing anything wrong I should be punished I let him in your house."

"He tried to eat my precious!" Chloe shouted.

"Plagg didn't mean any harm and besides he doesn't eat birds he just likes to play with them."

"If you don't hand the cat over I'll have them take your whole farm." Andre said. "There's a law against animals that hurt people."

"With all due respect Mayor Bourgeois." Sabine said. "Plagg's just a kitten, hardly more than a baby he maybe mischievous but he would never hurt anyone."

"Tell that to my leg!" Chloe screeched. "The little beast scratched me!"

"Only because you tried to hit him with a broom!" Marinette argued. "He was trying to defend himself!"

"Well that's for the sheriff to decide." Andre said handing her parents a slip a paper. "We have permission to take him."

"They read paper and looked at their daughter sadly.

"I'm sorry Marinette but we can't go against the law." Tom said. "He'll have to go."

Chloe reached for Plagg, Marinette slapped her hand away.

"No! I won't let you take him! You go away you old witch! Or I'll scratch you myself!"

"Marinette!" Her mother scolded.

"Mom! Dad! Please don't let them take him."

Tom just sadly took the black kitten from his daughter and placed him in the cage they brought for him. Marinette burst into tears and ran back into her bedroom crying. Sabrine turned angrily to the mayor and his wicked daughter.

"Andre Bourgeois you may be the mayor of this town but that doesn't mean you and your brat of a daughter have the right to control all of us! For years I've been wanting to tell you what I think and...well being a Christian woman I can't say it."

She went back to comfort her daughter. Andre loaded the cage into their car outside. While he did this Chloe caught sight of Adrien, she smiled and waltz over to where he worked. She had always had a crush on the charming farm hand but he could careless.

"Oh Adrien!" She called.

He groaned and looked at her.

"What do you want?"

"It's so hot today. Could you get me some water?" She flicked her ponytail.

"Sorry ma'am I'm very busy." He said. "But I'm sure Mrs. Dupain-Cheng would kindly get you a drink."

"Oh no it's not to drink silly." She giggled flirtatiously. "It's to cool off my legs." She raised her yellow dress up a little to show them off. "They're just so hot and...slender."

"I'm sorry Chloe but I don't like to associate with people who make Marinette cry." He said losing his patience. "Now if you'll excuse me I have a wagon to finish."

"How dare you!" Chloe screeched. "You think you're too good for me? I'm the mayor's daughter and you're just some farm boy! You should be grateful that I even look at you!"

"Hey Chloe I know a way you can cool your legs off!" Nino called. And with that he pushed her into the pigsty right in their mud hole. "Cool off in the mud with those hogs."

"Yeah after all you have a lot in common with them." Nathaniel added.

The three farm hands burst out laughing as Chloe slipped and slid in the mud with the pigs snorting at her and pulling on her dress.

"Daddy!" She screamed.

"Oh my little angel!" Andre said running to help her out. "I'll have you all arrested!"

"For what? All we did was put a mean old sow right where she belongs." Adrien joked. "With the pigs."

"Oink! Oink! Oink!" Nino and Nathaniel chanted while making snorting sounds.

So Andre and the very dirty Chloe got into the car and drove away. Inside Plagg using his claws picked the lock to his cage, jumped out of the car, and raced back to the farm.

Meow! Meow!

He leapt into Marinette's bedroom through her window.

"Plagg! You came back!" She said hugging him happily. "But knowing Chloe she won't rest til you're gone."

Plagg looked at her with an emotionless expression as if he didn't know what say or in this case meow.

"We've got to runaway. I don't wanna leave home but I won't let Chloe hurt you for any reason."

She grabbed her suitcase and packed it up then left.
