Outside, Cat Noir searched for the Wizard. He found him on top of another building.

"Hey Kitty! Try this on for size." He waved his wand and giant dragon appeared.

"Oh great!" Adrien said sarcastically.

It darted after him snapping his jaws. Luckily it wasn't a fire breathing one other wise he'd be toast. He ran as fast as he could while trying to dodge the dragon's hungry mouth.

"Where's Ladybug when I need her?"

A chase was soon started, he ran through town with the dragon chasing him.

"Look out!" He said to the crowds of people. "Out of the way! Excuse me! Sorry! Pardon me!"

He ran until it had him cornered.

"Trapped like a rat." He said.

It picked him up, threw him, and smacked him around like a rag doll. Poor Cat suffered one nasty beating after another. Before it gave the killing blow it pinned him with it's claws.

"Now Wizard!" Hawkmoth said. "While he's in pain, take his ring."

"Yes Hawkmoth."

Adrien struggled to get out of the dragon's grip but he was in too much pain. Soon he could hardly move. The Wizard ordered the dragon to remove it's claws, Adrien was too weak to get up and run away.

"Foolish cat!" The Wizard laughed. "You'll never defeat me and as for your friend she'll sleep forever."

Cat Noir clenched his teeth as the villain taunted him.

"I bet she's dreaming about you, about how you'll come rescue her when the truth is you failed."

He growled and hissed at this, then as if all his strength had been returned he jumped up and clawed him right across his face. In response the dragon attacked again but this time he knew what to do.

"Cataclysm!" He shouted. With a simple touch he destroyed the dragon. "Okay Merlin! You're next!"

"I don't think so! I think I'll go check my guest." He then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Adrien quickly ran back to the Wizard's lair ignoring the fact that he could change back any minute. Fortunately he beat him there, and when the Wizard did arrive Adrien tossed dirt into his eyes.

"My eyes! My eyes!" He shouted as he vanished again.

"Well that should keep him busy."

He looked over at Marinette. She was sound asleep, Adrien didn't know what to do. Even he did managed to defeat the Wizard how would ever wake up Marinette. Could he take her to doctor? Maybe Ladybug had a lucky charm that might work? Where was she anyway?

She looked so peaceful and so beautiful. He never realized how pretty she looked when she sleeps. No doubt she was a sleeping beauty. Sleeping beauty, that made him think of what Marinette said earlier. "True love's kiss is the most powerful thing in the world." Was she right? Should he try it? Would it work? Was he her true love? And was she his?

He was halfway close to changing to back which he still didn't notice. Without thinking he leaned closer to her and stroked the side of her cheek.

"Please." He whispered. "Don't leave me."

He lifted her up and placed his lips over her in a sweet kiss. As he kissed her he changed back into his civilian form.

"Eww! Gross! Get a room!" Plagg said.

Hearing Plagg's voice he realized what happened and he parted from her. At first all was quiet and nothing seemed to be happening. It didn't work. Suddenly, Marinette's eyes fluttered open.

"Oh." She yawned.

"Marinette." He said relieved.

Plagg hid quickly.

"Wh...where am I?"

You're here." He said. "With me."

"Adrien? What happened?"

"Long story. Let's get our of here."

"Okay."

She grabbed her bag and they walked outside.

"I better get home." Marinette said.

She went behind a large wall and pulled Tikki out.

"Tikki spots on!"

She changed into Ladybug and swung off. Which didn't go unnoticed by Adrien.

"So?" Plagg asked. "Still think Ladybug is your true love?"

"Not now Plagg! Eat your cheese!"

Plagg did until he had his strength back.

"Claws out!"

He turned back into Cat Noir and went after Ladybug.

"Hey! Bugaboo, what took you so long?"

"No time to explain! Let's go!"
