The next morning there was a knock at the door.

"You have an hour before your meeting with Hawkmoth."

The knock woke Adrien up. He sat there on his bed thinking about what would happen at the meeting. He looked at the bed right next to him and watched Marinette sleep. He finally decided to go and make breakfast. He found eggs and started making breakfast when the idea hit him.

"Her lucky charm! Why didn't I think of that before? I'll tell her while she eats breakfast." He brought a tray to the bed and sat down. "Marinette? Time to wake up." She lay still and didn't move. Adrien even shook her a bit but she still wouldn't move. He looked closely and saw that she wasn't even breathing. "MARINETTE!" He shoved the blankets away and saw that it wasn't even Marinette at all! It was just some pillows and her earrings. Adrien ran for his bed. He had to wake up Plagg. "Plagg! Wake up! Marinette's gone!"

"Fine by me! She kinda irritated me anyway."

"Plagg everything irritates you if you're hungry. Oh well. Plagg Transform me!" He could feel this power rushing through him as he changed into his Chat Noir suit. "Alright Marinette I'm coming!" He walked out of the room and went to the meeting room. When he got there he saw what he feared most. Marinette tied to a chair next to Hawkmoth.

"So you are Chat Noir?" said Hawkmoth. "I'm glad you're here early for we have a lot to talk about."

"Let her go, then we'll talk."

"Surely you don't mean my negotiating tool? I couldn't! however I have a deal for you. Give me your miraculous and she is free to go."

"OK if that's all you wanted you should've just asked."

"Chat! Don't!" cried Marinette.

"Don't worry! It's not like he's going to destroy Paris with it!" Chat said as he untied her ropes. "Here you go Hawkmoth! One ring and a pair of earrings!"

"I can't believe it! The ultimate power is mine!"

"Tikki! Transform me!"

"Wait what! It can't be! Ladybug? How did you get the-" Hawkmoth looked at the earrings. "They're fake! I'll get you one day! For now though you have my Performer to deal with!"

"Ladybug! Where do you think the akuma is?"

"Her shoes! She is still wearing them from her recital! She's never taken them off! Grab them!"

Performer, being the dancer that she was, dance fought them. They tried to grab her shoes but they had no luck until she jumped.

"Got it!" yelled Chat. He threw them to Ladybug who caught them and purified the akuma.

"Pound it!" said Chat and Ladybug in perfect unison.

As the area was cleared Chat Noir and Ladybug went aside and talked.

"Chat…."

"Friday night? My treat! I'll even pick you up and you can meet my father!"

"OK Chat,"

"Great! See you there!" Chat kissed her forehead and bounded away.

"Sometimes I just can't say no to those handsome green eyes." Said Ladybug as she walked home.
