I woke up in the bed with tikki sleeping beside me. I look up to the alarm clock and read the time.

6:00 am

It's very early for me to wake up. Tikki stirred from her sleep and yawned. She looks at the clock and to me with a smile. She looks tired yet she is still energetic and always cheering me up.

"Good Morning, Marinette!"

I shot up from my bed and smiled at her. "Good Morning, Tikki!" I replied.

I look around me when I saw the suitcase I have packed all night. It confused me with the suitcase and the room ready to be left- wait a second...

"Marinette! Are you awake? You need to tidy up now! You're leaving after we pick you from school!" Mom yelled from downstairs. That...makes sense to me now.

I'm going back to China. Alright, I remember now. I took a shower and change my clothes into a simple pink dress and white boots to pair with it. I fix my hair in two pigtails like always.

I remember telling Chat last night that I'm going to leave France for a while. If it was for a while. It broke my heart to see Chat with his sad eyes. I don't have any choice in this matter. I sighed. I still have matters with Hawkmoth. How would I defeat him if I'm in freaking China?!

I ran downstairs with my suitcase and backpack. Mom looked up to me with approval and gave me my breakfast. It composed of blueberry pancakes, scones, yogurt and orange juice. A breakfast fit for a princess.

"Eat it up, dear. You still have at least 2 hours and 30 minutes before flight," She told me while eating her apples.

"What about you and Dad? Aren't you supposed to come with me?" I asked her. "We will follow you there after settings things up here like this bakery. We will be there in your public announcement and coronation."

I was about to pick up my baggage when Mom stopped me.

"Just leave your suitcase there. We'll bring your baggage once we pick you up from school."

I gulped one last time of my orange juice before speeding off to school. I arrive at school early to see Alya waiting for me. She looks shocked and I think she saw a ghost.

"Whoa! Is this real? You're early! Am I dreaming?" She expressed with wide shocked eyes. I rolled my eyes at her and chuckled. "It is real. Come on, we have first period."

"I thought I was dreaming back then. But I think I am still right now. Can you pinch me?" She asked which I did what she asked for me to do. "Aww!" She winced in pain. Rubbing the spot where I pinch her. Good for you.

"You know now that I'm real. Not a dream," I laughed at her. She glares at me with a pout. "Yeah...yeah."

We got inside the classroom. A nausea hits me like a big truck in my face. The familiar noise and smell of the class hits me. I'll miss this place. I'll miss the memories I gathered her for a small amount of time.

"You got something in your head, girl?" Alya asked. I shake my head.

"Nothing, Alya. It's nothing to worry about."

"Well, if it's nothing then I'll tell ya something, I have a great scoop last night!" She opens her phone with her blog on it. A picture of me as ladybug and chat noir hugging each other. I sadly smiled at the picture. I remember the words he spoke last night.

"I'll be waiting for you, milady," he said before hugging me tightly in his arms.

It really hit me tons and tons of guilt. I wish I can tell him the truth. But it's for our safety.

"That's awesome you got there, Alya!" I said with exaggerated voice.

She looks at me. Calculating my emotions. Like an owl's direct unmoving eyes "Okay, girl. What's up with you?"

"Nothing..."

"Nothing my face! Marinette, your face is saying a word called sad. Now, tell me about it. What's gotten into you?"

I wish I could tell you the truth. But this most be put in secret. A royal secret. I hate not saying all about it, Alya. I'm sorry if I had to leave you here.

"Would you be sad if I go somewhere and didn't come back?"

"What are you-"

Ms. Bustier enters the classroom cutting Alya from saying another word. I know exactly she's going to ask. I am so lucky that Alya was interrupted.

I saw Nino and Adrien together walks up to their seats while others arrange themselves. I felt the butterflies then it turned into moths in my stomach. It was painful.

I wish I could stay and stare at his godly blonde hair everyday. But I can't.

"Good Morning, Class!"

"Good Morning, Ms. Bustier!"

And the first period plays on. It was English. At least it's something I can handle myself. I often caught Adrien sneaking glances to me and I often shyly smile at him. I wonder what's up with him today? I felt the tense in my stomach. A hole poking on my heart.

I'll miss him.

A knock stop Ms. Bustier from teaching us elements of the story. She goes to the door and answers it.

"Ms. Dupain-Cheng, your parents are here to pick you up!" Ms. Bustier announced. My classmates looks at me confused as to why my parents here. Alya looks to me for an answer.

I'll have to say my farewell to her.

"Ms. Bustier may I excuse Alya for a second. I have to tell her something," I asked permission and she nods. "Go ahead."

I take my bag with me and Alya followed ahead. I look one last time at Adrien... and Nino. It hurts like hell. After getting out of the classroom, Alya confronts me. I gulped in nervousness that I can feel in my nerves punching me right now.

"What is happening, girl?"

This is it. I'm sorry, Alya. For half-lying to you...

"I...I have to go somewhere. My grandparents wants me to live with them. I don't know when I will get back here. My parents wanted me to go first, they have to do something here first before leaving."

I wait for her to shout at me for not telling her last night or earlier. But nothing came.

Unexpectedly, she hugs me tightly. I hug her back. The familiar warmth that I welcomed every time I needed it from her. The warmth of the hug given by a friend. I hated the idea of not telling her about me being a royalty and ladybug. But it's my duty to protect my love ones.

I have responsibilities I can't say no.

"I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you, too," I whispered in her ear. My eyes blurred in tears. She releases me from her embrace and sadly smiles at me. "If you got the chance, visit me here. Don't trip and klutz out there. Take care of yourself."

"Yeah, I'll do that," I cried. I hug her tightly again in my arms.

"Marinette!" Mom calls up to me. "I'm coming!"

"Clear up your tears, girl. I hate seeing you like this. I might cry, too. This is it, huh? See you soon, Marinette."

I wipe away my tears as she requested. I turn around and bow down at her. "See you soon too, Alya."

If I'm just allowed to take you with me, I'll do so full-heartedly.

Before Alya enters the classroom, I stop her and whispered. "Tell Adrien and Nino that I'll miss them, too."

I have no time, now.

She winks at me. "No problem, girl. You go ahead. Your parents are waiting for you!" She said.

I whisper to her my thanks and ran to my parents waiting with a limo ready for me. They hug me tightly and traveled to the airport. As the limo past many buildings that held so much memories like the Eiffel tower. I felt the depth in my heart. I felt it tightening the heart I have every time it beats. A voice saved me. It was my Mom.

"Here is your passport, Marinette. Your grandmother sent a private jet for you to use. She wants your arrival be a secret as quietly as it is." She hands out my passport and I took it. The limo stops and we got out of it. Dad takes out my baggage and pats me in my head.

"Be careful out there. Oh, your grandma got you bodyguards waiting for you in the jet. Take care!" He said.

"I will, Dad."

Without any hesitation, I hug both my parents before entering the airport. I saw the private jet plane and the two bodyguards waiting for me. I guess it starts in here.

My new journey outside France.
