   Marinette woke up that morning to find her partner gone. She didn't mind though, knowing that she was in a better mood and would see him later tonight to find the akuma.

Bluebell eyes glanced over at a clock on the nightstand next to the bed. For a moment, everything seemed normal since she was always a late riser. The next moment, she realized that this wasn't her dimension and that she was supposed to be up two hours ago.

The bluenette rushed out of bed and quickly got ready for the day. Her mind whirled with many questions but one made her pause in her rush.

Why hadn't her "mother" come to wake her up?

This threw Marinette off before finishing up and leaving her room. The teen walked around the house for any signs of her dad or "mom." She checked practically every room she could find before reaching the office where her father always seemed to be (probably sleeps in thereto for all she knew).

   First, the bluenette knocked before slowly opening the door and poking her head in.

   "Dad?" Marinette called, eyes scanning the room for the large man. Yet, to her surprise, there was no one inside the room. Marinette backed out of the doorway and shut the door, trying to figure out what in the world was going on.

   "Come to think of it..." Marinette thought, "Where is everybody?" She hadn't seen any maids, chefs, or her bodyguard anywhere.

   Then, there was a loud banging on the front door.

   "This is the police! We have the place surrounded!" A man yelled, "Come out with your hands up or we will come in by force!" This was the last thing Marinette expected to happen at such an early time in the morning.

   Adrien was sitting at the counter eating a bowl of cereal. His mom was washing dishes while watching the news on TV and his dad was downstairs working in the bakery.

   He couldn't wait to go see his friends at the park, especially Marinette (since he knew she had a scheduled photo shoot in an hour).

   Ever since he found out her identity, he wasn't able to keep in his excitement and almost destroyed his bedroom in the process. But, he was scolded beforehand by his mother. He couldn't help it though. He was just so happy!

   Adrien continued to look at the clock, counting down the seconds until patrol to see his lady.

   "Hey, Adrien," Emilie said, grabbing the teen's attention away from the clock. The younger blonde hummed in question, having a mouth full of Lucky Charms.

   "Can you turn up the volume on the TV?" She asked, staring at the screen intently. Adrien picked up the remote that was nearby and looked up at the TV, turning it up at a good volume. He placed the remote down before hearing the newsman say something that made him pale.
