Chapter One
"ALYA!" yells a frantic Marinette.
Alya stumbles into the bride's room, with a phone pressed to her ear. "Just FIND HIM, NINO!" Alya screams into the phone, slamming it down onto the table just a moment later. She turns to see a desperate, crying, blue-eyed girl.
"Alya, it's my wedding day. And the point of a wedding is to get married! How am I supposed to do that if the groom is a NO-SHOW?" the bluenette cries.

"Marinette, there is an Akuma alert. Aren't you going to help Chat?" asks a rather concerned Tikki.
"I-I can't. I have way too much to plan for the wedding still. And only 24 hours to make my wedding day everything it should be. Adrien will be here any minute to help me plan, design, and arrange everything."
Meanwhile, with Chat/Adrien and Plagg ...
"PLAGGGGGGGG, how am I supposed to choose what to do?"
"Simple, Kid, do you want to save the whole city of Paris and be a few minutes late to your fiancé's house, or let hundreds of people die, possibly including Marinette as well?"
"You're right, Plagg. PLAGG, CLAWS OU—"
"I knew you would make the right choice. Now I'll finish my cheese, and then we'll head on out."
Adrien stares at Plagg, mouth agape, completely dumbfounded.
"No, we're doing this now. PLAGG, CLAWS OUT!" Moments later, Adrien leaps out of his window as the well-known, and loved, Chat Noir. He lands on a nearby roof and spots the crazed lunatic who calls himself Dr. Love.
Huh, I don't see Ladybug. I guess she's having a hard time getting here—might as well make it easier for when she does get here, Chat reasons. Chat leaps from his resting point, swinging his baton at the victim, and is suddenly struck by the immobilizing force of the Akuma.
As Chat Noir falls, the world goes black. The last thing that fills his mind is the face of his beloved Marinette.
