Adrien and Plagg slowly parachuted down to an abandoned place in the city where they celebrate another 'Well Done' on escaping from the guards.
"And now, with the enemy defeated, we feast!" Adrien said laughing and he broke the bread in half laughing, giving one half to Plagg.
They were about to tuck in, when Adrien notices two poor children, a boy and a girl around the ages of 8 – 10, dressed in rags looking through rubbish heaps for things to eat.
He looked at then pitifully and they stare back hunger in their eyes as they saw the bread.
Adrien looked at his loaf then looked at Plagg who saw the situation, but the cat ignored it taking a big bite out of the bread thinking they had worked so hard to get it.
Sighing, knowing Plagg will do the right thing in the end, Adrien got up, and went over to the kids holding out his half of the loaf.
"Here," he said smiling kindly so the kids weren't afraid "Go on , take it."
Smiling wide 'I can't believe this' smiles the children take the bread and giggle as Adrien ruffle their hair as they eat the bread.
Plagg having watched the whole thing from where he was was now having second thoughts and stared at his share of the bread.
Sighing grumpily, Plagg got up picked up the bread and walked over to the children giving them his half (minus one large bite) too.
Accepting it the girl crouched down to scratch the black cat behind the ears in thanks making him purr.

Hearing music and Royalty Trumpets, going off, Adrien went to have a look seeing a Prince with blonde silky hair, nose held high, covered in anything that will show off how rich he was, and riding a proud white horse.
Close behind was a man around possibly the Price's age, wearing glasses, had orange hair, wore fine clothes but not so fine as the Prince's and rode on a smaller horse – this man was obviously the Prince's right hand man, the one he got to do all his work, who made it everything went according to plan so all the Prince had to do was look handsome.
"On his way to the palace I suppose," a man beside Adrien said.
"Another suitor for the Princess," another said glumly as someone went around taking in bets to how long this one would last.
Just then the boy from before came running out of the crowd laughing chasing Plagg, right across the street in front of the Prince.
Quickly his sister came and pulled him out of the way but they bump into the white horse making it ride up and the children cower in fear.
"Out of my way you filthy little brats!" the rider said pulling a whip out about to strike them for abstracting his path.
"HEY!" Adrien cried taking the lashing instead, pulling the weapon out of the Prince's hand and throwing it back "If I were as rich as you I could afford some manners!"
"I'll teach you some manners!" the Prince said making his horse bump into Adrien knocking him over and into the mud to be laughed at by 3/5 s of the towns people, the other 2/5 s agreeing with the boy.
Wanting to get the last word, and get back at the Prince, Adrien called out to everyone.
"Hey look at that everyone. It's not everyday you see a horse with TWO rear ends..."
This got gasps from everybody, as the Prince, stopped and looked at the boy both rider and horse looking fully offended.
"You are a worthless street rat," he said turning back as he finished his way to the palace "You were born a street rat. You'll die a street rat. And only that hideous black cat and your fleas will morn you..."
Adrien gets up and runs after this stuck up Prince and challenge him to a fight, but the gates close.
Glaring at the gates imagining that Prince was back here Adrien said "I'm not worthless... And I don't have fleas..." he paused when he noticed he was scratching his head "Come Plagg... Let's go home..."
Before they could leave a man came over looking very old, and thankful the children beside him.
"Lad," he said taking Adrien's hand and shaking it a smile on his face "Thank you for protecting my children from that piece of camel dung" he said "And sharing your bread with them. Please let me repay you."
"You don't have to do that Sir, keep your money, I didn't do it for profit, I did it because it was the right thing to do." Adrien said smiling, glad something good came out of this day, but still felt pain inside at the Prince's words.
After a few more 'thank you's', Adrien and Plagg slowly headed home.
.
They walk down an old street and some ancient slums
"Riffraff
Street rat
I don't buy that
If only they'd look closer..."
With Plagg over his shoulder, Adrien climbed a ladder and entered a small slum with not a lot of things in there, with a large window with a curtain pulled across it.
"Would they see a poor boy?
No soiree"
Plagg got down and went over to his bed where Adrien tucked him in.
"But they would find out...
That there's so much more...
To... Me. "
Adrien went to the window and pulled back the curtain revealing the Palace of the Sultan of Agrabah.
It was five times as large as this little place he was living in now. Had giant golden looking domes on the centre building and the towers on either side, which were white.
Sighing Adrien sat on the windowsill and spoke out his thoughts.
"Someday Plagg, things are going to change," he said not noticing his friend was already asleep "We'll be rich. Live in a palace. Never be hungry again. And wont have any troubles at all..."
After a little bit longer, Adrien went to bed himself.
AN: For those who can't work out who the Prince is... Go back and read it again
If you still can't get it, I'll say who it is in the next chapter
