The Missing Valentine
Prologue
9 years ago
"And the prince and princess lived happily ever after," said Marinette's father, Tom. "Papa…" started Marinette. "Yes my sweet princess," said Marinette's father rustling the sweet nine year old girl's hair. "Will I ever find true love one day?" asked Marinette quietly. "Hmm maybe, listen Marinette, a prince charming is not just about the appearance, it is about who really loves you, and I am sure one day you will find one that loves you as much as you love him, do you understand?" asked Marinette's father. "I understand," said Marinette quietly. "Goodnight Marinette," said Tom as he switched off the light. "Goodnight Papa, one day I will find my prince charming and he will love me as much as I do," said Marinette determinedly.
Present:
"Goodbye little butterfly, Miraculous Ladybug!" shouted Marinette aka Ladybug loudly as the ladybugs went to repair everything. "Are you alright sir?" asked Chat Noir said helping the man up. The man looked around confusingly before thanking them and quickly leaving. "M'lady are you alright?" asked Chat Noir quietly. "Yes I am okay, I was just thinking about the annual Valentine Ball, you know the one near the Eiffel tower," said Ladybug. "Do you want to go with me?" asked Chat Noir quietly. "Well I will see…I will tell you tomorrow in patrol," said Ladybug approaching Chat Noir before kissing him on the cheek. "I guess I will see you tomorrow, this place again?" asked Chat Noir. "Yes, I will see you Chaton," said Marinette.
Ladybug jumped towards an alleyway where she secretly detransformed back into Marinette. "Marinette," said Tikki. "Yes Tikki," said Marinette. "Can I please have a cookie," said Tikki. Marinette smiled as she handed Tikki a chocolate chip cookie. "Come on lets go home," said Marinette as she placed Tikki back into her pocket before casually going back to the bakery. "Hello Papa and Mama," said Marinette. "Hello Marinette," said her parents as they all quickly set up the table before eating the delicious macaroni cheese that Marinette's mother, Sabine had made. After dinner Marinette retired to bed but what she didn't know was that Hawkmoth had discovered her identity.
"Good morning Marinette!" sang Marinette's mother as she opened Marinette's door before letting out a loud shriek. "Darling what is the matter?" asked Marinette's father. "M-Ma-Marinette is gone!" shouted Sabine. Sure enough her bed was still not made but Marinette wasn't there. "I am going to call Marinette's phone," said Sabine as she dialed Marinette's number. A ring echoed the room and it turned out that Marinette didn't take her phone with her which was unusual because Marinette took her phone everywhere. "This mystery is even going further than I thought it would go, I am going to call Alya to ask if Marinette is there," said Tom as he quickly dialed Alya's number. "Hello, this is Alya, oh hi Marinette," said Alya sleepily. "Umm Alya, this is not Marinette, this is her father, have you seen her for the past few hours?" asked Tom. "No is something wrong?" asked Alya. "You see Alya, Marinette has disappeared without a trace," said Tom.
Marinette woke up finding herself in a small iron prison. "Where am I?" asked Marinette to herself. "Marinette?" asked a small voice. "Tikki, where am I? what am I doing here?" asked Marinette. "Welcome Ladybug," said a mysterious voice. "Who are you?" asked Marinette. "I am Hawkmoth, and I am here to take your earrings," said Hawkmoth. "Not a chance, Chat Noir will save me," protested Marinette. "How about this Marinette, I will give Chat Noir a chance to find you but he must find you before Valentine's day which is in 3 day time or you will have to give me both of the miraculous," said Hawkmoth. "Our miraculous, any more restrictions?" asked Ladybug. "Well since I kidnapped you at night, you probably won't know where the lair is but I can send him a list of small clues that he must take to find you, deal or no deal?" asked Hawkmoth. "Deal," said Marinette.
