Marinette couldn't get to sleep. She sat on her bed all worriedly. She made a great mistake that could cost her, her head. She wanted to save that poor framer's son.

She didn't have to but she couldn't just watch something like that go on. She made a deal as Ladybug that she couldn't back down from.

"I don't know anything about fighting unless fighting with a friend counts."

Marinette said confiding in her little Kwami who face palmed. Tikki knew her wielder meant well but to risk her life so soon?

"Marinette, you don't need to know how to fight. You just need to learn how to win this battle. Who is your opponent?"

The Kwami asked.

"Ummm... Lord D'Argencourt."

Tikki looked at her blankly as she held a piece of a cookie. Tikki had no idea who he was.

"He's the King's best swordsman and both of the Princes' fencing and swordsmanship instructor."

Marinette added a nervous smile at the end of her explanation.

"Marinette! That's insane."

Tikki remarked worried about her wielder's safety. Marinette had good intentions but she didn't think before she acted.

"I know."

Marinette replied as she thought about her parents. She was their only child after all. They treasured her more then anything else and she was to be gone in a week.

"We're going to fix this."

Tikki said. She didn't want to have Marinette's heroics short lived.

"How?"

Marinette asked as she laid on her bet feeling defeated.

"Didn't you say he taught the Princes?"

"Yes, but I don't see how that helps anyone." Marinette groaned.

"Ask one to teach you."

"I wish it was that simple. But, I'm a servant girl and Adrien is a Prince."

"It's our only option."

"I guess it is."

Marinette admitted as she sat up to blow out a candle.
