What Part of Princess Don't You Understand?

Part 9: Packing Up

No one's POV:

"So, Princess, where do you want to go?" Adrien asked Marinette.

"America, but I don't think that's possible." Marinette said.

"Well, we're Ladybug and Chat Noir, Marinette and Adrien, designer and model, we can do anything we put our minds to!" Adrien said confidently.

"Well, let's transform and power up. That way we can swim out of Paris, detransform, jump into the Atlantic ocean, transform and power up again, and then we'll be in America!" Marinette said.

"Great idea, but can I go home first?" Adrien asked, "I want to grab food, clothes, and money."

"Of course. Is anyone at my house??" Marinette asked.

"Yes, but I can create a diversion." Adrien said.

They went to Marinette's house, and Adrien talked to Tom.

"I saw Marinette!! She was in an alleyway by the park!" Adrien said.

He wasn't lying. He did see Marinette, and she was in an alleyway near the park, but she wasn't there anymore and he knew it.

"Thank you, Adrien." Tom said, and ran out to find his daughter.

Marinette got 2 suitcases and started packing. She got her sewing machine, all of her sewing supplies, all of her clothes, her pillow, lots of blowup floaties so her and Adrien could rest from swimming, and her superhero/supervillain dolls in one suitcase. In the other, she took all of the food from the bakery, all of her prized possessions, her sketchbook, her diary, and all 448 writing stuff, every single one of her report cards, and all of her money, which totaled up to €900 (973.44 US dollars). She made sure to bring cheese from the kitchen for Plagg, and extra cookies for Tikki, because all the food she packed was for her and Adrien. She decided to bring her phone after all, so she put it in her suitcase as well, and left another note for her parents.

Mom and dad,

I came back to the house and took my things and all of the bakery food. I have my phone incase I ever decide to come home. Adrien is coming with me. I am telling you this so you don't continue looking for me. I will come back when I am ready. Please don't try to convince me to come back. I am taking a break for a while. I love you. Stay strong without me.

Much love,

Marinette.

"There." She said, "Done."

"Spots on! Yeah!" Marinette said.

"C'mon. It'll be faster if we go like this." Ladybug said.

"Alright. Claws out!" Adrien said.

"Let's go!" Ladybug said.

(A/N since she was holding the suitcases they would stay with her when she became Marinette again.)

As they went into Adrien's room, they detransformed, but Gorilla heard something, and came upstairs. He was guarding the Agreste mansion in case Marinette decided to go there.

"Spots on." Marinette whispered.

"Claws out." Adrien whispered.

"Lucky charm!" Ladybug whispered.

It was a gong.

"Master Fu!" Ladybug whisper-shouted.

"Don't become Marinette or he'll see your suitcases!" Adrien advised her.

"Good idea." Marinette said.

Gorilla was getting closer.

"In the bed!" Adrien said, opening a compartment that no one knew about. Marinette jumped in, and Adrien followed her, closing the hatch. Marinette and Adrien both made sure that their phones were silent.

Gorilla looked around for a second, but then went back downstairs.

"We're safe." Adrien said. He grabbed 5 suitcases. In 1 he put his trophies and photographs. In a second suitcase he put his electronics (3 computers, 4 pairs or air pods, and 2 extra phones). In the third suitcase he put in all of Plagg's cheese.

"Stay here." He told Ladybug, "I'm going to the kitchen."

He brought 2 suitcases with them, and emptied out the entire kitchen. Then, he wrote a note to the kitchen staff and his bodyguard.

Dear kitchen staff and Gorilla, I emptied out the pantry, because I am going on vacation with Mari. We will come back when she is ready. Thanks for the food! Adrien.

Then, he ran upstairs. He grabbed all of his report cards (8, because he'd only been to school for 2 years, and they got graded every quarter, and all of his money, which was €500,000 (540,800 US dollars).

"Claws out." He said, and they silently leapt to Master Fu.

"Spots off." Ladybug said.

"Claws in." Chat Noir said.

"Master!" Marinette said.

"Master Fu?" Adrien said.

"My...my lucky charm told me to come here." Marinette said.

"Yes, I hear you're running away. I want you to take the horse miraculous with you. And the mouse. And the snake, fox, bee, turtle, and dragon." Master Fu said.

"Bu...but...Master?" Marinette said.

"Promise me, you will communicate with me. You can send a kwami overseas, but if you call them back then they will return directly to me. Also, you can teleport wherever you want with the horse miraculous. Okay??" Master Fu said.

"Alright." Adrien said. He put a lock and a tracker on every miraculous box (the code is 3505 because the price of Plagg's favorite cheese is €35.05 (37.91 US dollars), "We'll keep in touch. I promise."

"But...Master! I have your phone number! Why...?" Marinette said.

"I lose my phone all the time. Kwami's are more trustworthy." Master Fu said flatly.

Adrien took out the horse miraculous and put the rest of the miraculous boxes, including Plagg and Tikki's, in a locked suitcase under Plagg's stinky cheese. (A/N Kaalki and Tikki were the only two kwamis not put away, because Adrien had taken his ring off.)

"Let's teleport. Where do you want to go??" Adrien said to Marinette.

"Washington DC." Marinette said.

"Alright." Adrien put on the miraculous, "Kaalki, full gallop!"

"Tikki, spots on! Yeah!" Marinette said.

"I am...Horrorse." Horrorse said.

"That sounds like what Hawk Moth would be called if he had the horse miraculous instead of the butterfly miraculous." Marinette joked.

"I think it's cool." Horrorse pouted, "Voyage!"

'Washington DC. Washington DC. Washington DC.' Horrorse thought.

There was a flash of light, and a portal opened. Horrorse and Ladybug stepped through. The next second, they were gone.
