The four friends decided it was time to leave the street market. It was late and they needed to get up early the next day.

"Let's move," Alya suggested. "We need to wake up early tomorrow right?"

"Yeah, let's go," Adrien answered.

They hopped up and headed towards the train station. Awkwardly, they squished through and managed to board the train. It was quieter than usual. Everyone was tired. Adrien seemed quite depressed. Not his usual above average enthusiasm. Definitely not like his 'Chat Noir' self. Alya and Marinette could obviously tell something was up.

Eventually, they departed from the train and headed back to their hotel. Nino was the first to shower leaving Marinette, Alya, and Adrien.

"So..." Alya trailed off.

Nobody responded. Nino was already finished showered and exited the bathroom, finding himself in the silent room.

"Who's going to shower next...?" Nino asked.

"One of you girls go," Adrien answered.

Eventually, everyone got around to showering and changing into their PJs.

"I'm going to bed," Adrien quietly mumbled.

Soon after, Alya and Nino hopped into bed, falling fast asleep.

"Goodnight Tikki," Marinette whispered as she crawled into bed.

"Goodnight," Tikki yawned.

The room gradually became colder due to the airconditioning that the friends were unaware of. It was set on a self-time and dropped a few degrees down, turning the room winter-cold. As the night moved along and the sun rose, everyone began to gradually awaken.

"Why is it so c-cold?" Marinette shivered, her lips turning purple.

Marinette and Adrien hugged tightly struggling to stay warm. Normally, hugging and such would bring nervousness and butterflies, but in their current situation, body warmth was essential.

"Hey, your lips are purple," Adrien laughed slightly.

"So are yours," Marinette teased. "I always wondered what you'd look like with purple lipstick,"

"Are you warm now? After all, I am smoking hot," Adrien hysterically laughed.

Marinette couldn't resist quietly laughing at his terrible pun.

"Wow, you're really shivering huh?" Adrien realized. "Wait a moment,"

He rolled out of the bed, freezing cold.

"Hey, what are-" Marinette stopped.

Adrien lifted the blanket and began rolling it with Marinette tucked inside, soon becoming a sushi roll.

"There we go!" Adrien dusted his hands. "It's warm huh?"

"Adrien, I'm a sushi roll." Marinette stated.

He sat stood shivering in the cold, only wearing shorts and a tank top. Marinette laughed at his discomfort before unraveling some of the blanket and allowing him to roll in too. He rolled in and was now squished next to Marinette.

"hehehe... we're a sushi roll," He laughed.

Over on the other bed, Alya had just awoken.

"Nino... turn... off... the aircon..." She said half asleep.

Nino mumbled something back before falling asleep again.

"Now where would the aircon remote be?" Adrien asked.

Marinette inspected the room.

"Over there! It's one of those remotes that are stuck to the wall!" She pointed.

"Oh, that's quite far away..." Adrien sighed. "Wish me luck!"

He rolled out from within the quilt and immediately clutched his arms in hopes of keeping warm. Slowly, he made his way to the remote and turned the aircon off. The wind stopped blowing and the room became warm again.

"Sweet warmth," He smiled. "C'mon everyone!"

"Whaa...why did you wake me up!?" Plagg complained. "I'm so hungry,"

"Get up Plagg. We're leaving soon whether you like it or not," Adrien answered.

"Alya! Wake up, we gotta go soon!" Marinette yelled from her bed.

"Yo, what time is it?" Nino rubbed his eyes.

"Around 6-ish," Adrien answered. "You can sleep on the train,"

Quickly enough, the four and their kwamis were finally ready to leave.

They arrived at the bustling train station where they shuffled through the crowds and onto the train. Fortunately, there were many seats available, the train practically empty.

"Hey, how long are we ridin' this train?" Nino asked

"an hour-ish," Alya answered.

Within ten minutes, everyone had fallen asleep. After about forty minutes, Marinette woke up.

"Hey, Adrien, are we nearly there?" she poked Adrien.

He rubbed his eyes and yawned, "Huh? Oh, in about 20 minutes..."

"Alright," Marinette nodded.

In about 20 minutes, they arrived at their stop. They arrived at a somewhat remote place and could easily identify the near mountains.

"We're here!" Alya stretched.

It was time to find out what happened to Mrs. Agreste.
