Immediately after my debut at the party, I swung myself home and collapsed on the floor of my bedroom. Tikki shot out of my earrings, coughing on the floor in weakness. I looked at her. "Tikki, there's some cookies on my desk. Eat them if you want."

I didn't look back at her, mainly because of my lack of energy, but I did understand that she needed something to retain her energy. I could hear the faint sounds of munching or the sighs of content. "You really like cookies huh?" I chuckled. I could only assume she was smiling. "Yep, they're my favorite food. You know Marinette.. usually after my uses, anyone would've just told me to get out, surely because I wasn't useful anymore."

I nodded, listening to her statements. "Well, you're still a human being. I wouldn't ask you to leave unless you wanted to." I dragged myself onto the edge of my bed, yearning for the bed sheets as much as possible. Tikki must of seen my struggle, and helped me onto the bed. "You should rest Marinette, my powers do sap a lot of your energy too."

She covered me up. I smiled. "You're treating me like you're my mother." I told her, snuggling up to the pillow next to me. I peeked over her shoulder and saw the glittering stars shining around the full moon. "Oh, I-I'm sorry!" Tikki said, backing up. I shook my head. "No.. I like it."

Tikki smiled. "Goodnight Marinette." She said. I frowned internally. "Goodnight Tikki". The idea she would be gone the next morning made me frown. I wanted her to stay. I wanted her to treat me like this like a mother would.

I wanted to protest, but my body put me to sleep as fast as it could.

I was in a grassy field. Flowers and weeds surrounding the area, covering my field of vision. The sky was clearly blue, not one cloud was shown over the boundless sky limit. A single tree stood closely near me, screaming at me to come over. My feet reacted before my brain could, making me walk over to where the trunk stood before me. The trunk was skinny, having long branches, branch out onto different parts, holding the many leaves that stuck them together. The leaves were slowly falling, for which I did not know of, but it seemed to be completely vacant.

I turned around and sat down to which my back was against the trunk. I closed my eyes and took in the breathless atmosphere.

"Hello m'lady"

I gasped and turned around, only to find Chat Noir hiding from the other side. He grinned at me. I desperately searched over my body to find nothing but my usual school clothes. He was talking to me as Marinette.

"Ch-Chat Noir! What are you doing here?" I asked, pulling my hair in nervousness. He chuckled. "Ladybug, do you love me?" He asked. I blushed. Why would he ask me this? Does he know I'm Ladybug! He walked towards me, gripping my wrist and pulling me up to where I can see him more clearly.

"Marinette, Ladybug, do you love me!" He asked again, gripping my wrist tighter. I whimpered, trying to get away from him. He yanked me closer to his body. "I love you Marinette. Do you?" He asked for the last time, pulling my face towards his. I answered truthfully as he was slowly putting our faces closer together.

"Yes"

I closed my eyes, waiting for him to either answer or kiss me. When he didn't I opened my eyes. He was smirking. He pushed me back onto the grass.

"Oh, so you'd pick me and him? Wow Mari, I didn't think you were such a player!" He said, dragging another person out from behind the tree. It was Adrien. Adrien looked angry. "You claim you love him, but you say you love another man? How hurtful of you!"

I shook my head. "That wasn't what I mean I..." He cut me off. "Save it, we don't need you, we'd prefer other girls. To tell the truth, we were hoping you'd end up like this."

I was hurt. I looked out into the distance and saw Nathanael, burning the journal that he had in his hands. I ran over to the book and saw that it had countless pictures of me. One in particular showed up that I had never seen. It was beautifully sketched, having decorations and sketch lines that beautifully countered the overall adaptation of it, but it burnt up the second I saw it.

I saw fire. Fire building up beside me, around me. Fire burning my vision and surrounding the sound. Fire, hot red flames gushing out from different corners.

Fire, everywhere, burning me.
