"It's been a week since the Akuma, Show Mistress, has captured Ladybug and left Paris defenseless. People are worried about their safety as Chat Noir has not been seen since the last episode. Along with that, people have voiced their fear and concern about the situation. When will Hawkmoth attack next? How can our city survive without Ladybug? Find out more after this break."

Nadja's voice echoed throughout Adrien's room though Adrien couldn't hear it due to the heavy amount of wine that he had drunk. His room was draped in darkness, his curtains that his father installed to keep nosy fans out were half-closed, light barely peeking into the room, him not allowing the sun to grace him with their light. Plagg stared at Adrien with a worried look and a deep feeling of disappointment, empty wine bottles were littered around the blonde boy's room. After the last episode, he had opened Pandora's box and broke his promise to Marinette that he wouldn't drink wine or get drunk to drown his sorrows and suffocate his feelings. Plagg floated over the empty bottles and only stared at them as his eyes slowly moved up to his chosen. "Mari..." he moaned pathetically, his head tilted up as he stared at the ceiling, his tears sliding down his face as he pulled another bottle to his lips and swallowed the red liquid.

"Red like her suit..." he thought as droplets escaped his mouth and fell onto his bare chest.

He wished the bottle was her lips as he pressed the opening of the wine bottle to his lips again, the sweet wine being replaced by what he imagines is the taste of her lip balm...

Plagg shook his head, this wouldn't have happened if Adrien and Marinette had just kept their memories of the Masquerade night. Plagg of course also didn't really remember much of the night, all he remembers is that Adrien had detransformed and left him in the bag with a bunch of cheese, oh, and Tikki too. Then they had rented a hotel room and Plagg got to spend the night with his sugarcube. Whatever kind of drug was used on Adrien and Marinette it was strong and had caused both of them to forget along with the kwamis. But that wasn't important, what was important now was getting Marinette back before the Demons really found a way out of the prison.

But if Adrien wanted Marinette back so badly then he should be sober and listening to Plagg! This was serious! There was more than one way to get Marinette back but it was risky and he wasn't going to tell Adrien unless he sobered up! "Kid, can you hear me?''

All he got back was dodging an empty wine bottle.

"Mari..." he moaned

"Okay, that's it." Plagg flew over to Adrien and slapped him right across the face. The blonde man was not affected and only continued to stare at the ceiling. "Mari...I need you..." Plagg sighed, no the kid was far too drunk to talk sense into. It was bad enough that he wasn't allowing the one person that could help him into the house but he had decided to drown himself in his sorrow and guilt. "Kid, you need to sober up!" Adrien turned his head away from Plagg as the small black kwami flew in front of his vision. "This is serious Adrien! If you want to save Marinette then you need to sober up!" Adrien started paying attention to Plagg after hearing Marinette's name. "Mari...?" Plagg smiled, "Yes! You want to save her right? You want your lady back? Then sober up!" Plagg flew away and then came back with a water bottle. Adrien looked at the water bottle.

He grunted and turned away from the kwami, Plagg huffed "I'll give you an hour to sober up, and then if you're not sober by the time I wake up from my nap, I'm going to find Nino." Plagg flew away, Adrien only stared at the water bottle.

He didn't need to sober up, he needed more wine, a lot more wine, he was going to throw the water bottle away and had picked up another full wine bottle, when he paused.

He blinked and stared at the wine bottle as small feminine hands pushed the bottle away from his lips. He blinked again, realizing he had gone too far.
