July 7th, 7 days until the Ball [Sunset]
Begins immediately after Tikki took the Ladybug Miraculous and flew away from Marinette...
Tikki sprinted away. She felt the force of the wind pushing against her face. As Tikki flew away, she looked back. Marinette was standing and had a purple butterfly outline around her eyes.
I'll get help. Hold on Marinette. Tikki thought.
After flying through the air for a few minutes, Tikki arrived in front of the enormous gated mansion. The beautiful mansion was located less than a minute's walk away from the Eiffel Tower.
Tikki went to the side of the house and saw a wall made of windows revealving Adrien's room. The bars from the window made shadows that covered the room, making it look like a prison.
Adrien wasn't there
Tikki groaned as she went from window to window, hoping one of them is open so she could head in to find Adrien. About 5 windows in, one opened.
Tikki looked around Adrien's room. "Adrien?...Plagg?!" She whispered. The room was completely empty. Tikki heard voices from down the hall. She sprinted out.
Eventually, Tikki found herself outside the dining room. The voices she heard was Nathalie telling Adrien his upcoming schedule.
"And tomorrow, you'll be missing school. I'll be homeschooling you for a few days in England. You will be joining your father for a short business trip. Your bags have been packed, but check your room to make sure you have everything you need."
Adrien got up to reach the salt and shook his head.
"Nathalie, is there anyway I could not go on the business trip, I have..stuff going on at school I can't miss."
Tikki moved quickly and quietly under the table. She hid herself by the table leg, waiting to follow Adrien.
"What's so important, Adrien?" Nathalie questioned, she walked over to Adrien and felt his head. "No fever... I'll speak to your father about it, but I don't think you can miss it."
"Miss what?" Gabriel asked, he quickly sat down and started scanning the newest issue of 93 Style, a teen fashion magazine that Adrien models in. "Nathalie, make sure to get that Pigeon themed hat from that school contest given back. And ask the winner if she's interested in the internship"
Adrien finished eating his soup and looked up at his father.
"Dad, I don't want to- wait; did you say you were giving Marinette an internship?"
Gabriel hid a small deceiving smile behind his coffee cup. Gabriel's plan was to use the internship to get close to the Ladybug Miraculous and take them.
"If she wants it. Why are you asking?"
"Just 'cuz I was curious." Adrien responded. "Also-um-Father, I want to know if I can stay here instead of going on the business trip.
Gabriel put down his magazine and stared at his son. Adrien felt as if all eyes, including paintings were on him. "...Why?"
"I have a big project to finish." Adrien half-lied. Plagg shook his head inside of Adrien's pocket.
"Perhaps Gorilla can stay with him for the few days here, while we are in England." Nathalie said,
"That's the best lie you can come up with? Seroiusly.." Plagg whispered to Adrien.

Fanfiction"...it's you." Chat Noir said, changing back. Adrien was star-struck in awe at what he just witnessed. "It has been YOU all along. Marinette!... you're My Lady." He started to chuckle, but then saw the look on his Lady's face. "Marinette?" Marinett...
