Chapter 2

Adrien is 32 now. It has been 18 years and he never got over Marinette's death. He never loved another person never even had a family he pretty much disappeared. He moved to Europe, so no one knew him. Alya and Nino are married and have 3 kids one named Marinette after their best friend. Adrien gave up being Chat Noir the day Ladybug died 14 years after Marinette's death a new Ladybug came out to save Paris but there was no new Chat Noir. He kept the box with the ring in his room he never wanted to look at it again. The only time he would leave his house is to get drunk at a bar he just couldn't get over her. The love of his life. He was at the bar drinking when a girl walked over to the bar and tripped accidently bumping into Adrien spilling his drink. "omg I'm so sorry I'm such a clutz"

"Yea whatever" Adrien sighs

"Hey! I said I was sorry!" sits next to him

"Sorry just having a bad day I'm Adrien"

"I'm Melody and its ok I get it" smiles softly then thinks hmm I think I recognize him but where "so are you local or visiting?"

"Oh, I just moved here I use to live in Paris what about you"

"I'm just visit I'm from Paris too small world huh" giggles and orders a drink. Adrien smiles at Melody. "wait are you Adrien Agreste? The Fashion Model?" Adrien sighs and nods "aren't you missing or something?"

"Actually, I just ran away"

"Oh, why is that?" Melody looks at him sadly

"I lost someone important and needed a fresh start" Adrien looks down trying to not cry

"I'm so sorry to bring that up I just recently lost someone too a bf of mine one reason why I'm here just for a break you know" Melody sighs then looks at Adrien "why don't we go hang out or something?" Adrien smiles softly and nods "cool how about your place?"

"Yea sure" they both stood up and went to Adrien's place

"Nice house" Melody looks at Adrien smiling

"Eh it's crap to be honest" they walk inside and sit on the couch

"Hey where is the bathroom?"

"Down the hallway to the right" Melody nods and walks down the hallway. She looks behind her then goes into Adrien's room and starts looking around for his ring.

"It has to be here somewhere" keeps looking around and grabs the box with his ring in it "bingo" puts it in her pocket then looks around the room. Sees a photo on the ground and picks it up. Thinks to self hmm this must be his gf but why does she look familiar. Keeps staring at the photo then starts getting flashes like little memories here and there they don't really make sense just little pictures in her head. Then she hears someone behind her.

"What are you doing in my room" Adrien looks at Melody mad.

"I was uh um…" tries to leave but Adrien blocks her then the box falls out of her pocket. Adrien picks up the box

"ARE YOU STEALLING FROM ME!" Melody shakes her head

"No, I was just giving Master Fu his miraculous back that's all" Melody gasps then covers her mouth.

"How do you know about the miraculous" Tikki flies out of Melody's bag

"Hi Adrien" Tikki says softly.
