A/N: So currently, no matter what I do I can't change the settings on whether this story is complete or not. Sorry. I tried like 3 times. Thanks for the reviews. Woo.

It was just on short notice that Marinette knew about this Half Moon dance. Her father would have notified her about this and give her a week's notice before anything else. Well that was what one of the guards said to her.

They looked just fine.

She had been hanging out with Luka. Maybe she did like him, but that's because he played an instrument called a guitar. It made her heart melt, but she never really fell for Luka. But yet, she felt there was something missing. There wasn't the feeling for him. It's not like she ever didn't fall in love with anyone.

Hawkmoth was the most regrettable to fall in love with.

Maybe she should become Ladybug to make sure there wasn't anything fishy going on.

She held Luka's hands with her's and slowly let go of them. "I have to go. We can talk later or maybe even meet at this dance." She lifted herself off the ground, a waved goodbye to him.

Flying back, she was worried. Her arms were at her side as she flew swiftly through the sky.

Her father was waiting for her at the entrance of the castle and beside him stood Hawkmoth.

She stopped in the air and gasped. "Dad?" she felt betrayed by him. How could this have happened? He told her that he would have the guards keep him away. Away from here. She had also thought that the guards would arrest Hawkmoth if he were to dare step foot in the castle parts.

Both men flew up towards her slowly.

Marinette backed away slowly. She kept her distance away from Hawkmoth. "What is he doing here?"

"Why Marinette, he's proven to me how sorry he is for breaking your heart. Forgive him already." he smiled at her and Hawkmoth would smile too.

That smile. That darned smile was a bunch of trouble over a good-looking guy.

"I don't feel the same way about him. Mom wouldn't force me to be with a man I don't like." she crossed her arms.

"Your mother isn't here! This is my kingdom and you're my daughter and I command you to marry Hawkmoth!"

Her eyes widened. Something was definitely wrong here, but what had happened? This wasn't someone who was akumatized, but maybe something else. She had to right away ask Tikki or Wayzz about this.

At least they were near her but in hiding.

Marinette could have sworn she saw a pale purple blob flit past Hawkmoth. 'Nooroo?' she thought to herself, but then brushed it off and kept her guard up in case if Hawkmoth were to try anything.

She uncrossed her arms and flew off into another direction as fast as she could. She wasn't safe here. Maybe she could make a grand appearance at that dance as herself, but that would be a risk that was unnecessary. She felt she needed to warn Alya and Nino of this threat, but feared that they'd tell her father what she had said to them and have guards follow her again. To be honest, she was scared for them. For her friends and her dad.

The fairy would fly out into the outskirts of the fairy life which was surrounded by long blades of light green grass and beautifully bloomed flowers that would soon die off when the colder seasons came. Fairies would barely survive in the winter and warmth was nearly impossible and that meant stocking up and keeping all the citizens of their kingdom warm.

As soon as she was out, Tikki and Wayzz came out from their hiding places without her having to say anything. "What's-"

"Marinette, you're father might be akumatized. I'm not sure where Nooroo is, but he's nearby, yet so far."

The fairy sat down on a rock. "What am I supposed to do now?" she was worried.

Both kwamis kept silent.

Her wings lowered. This wasn't like her to give up now. Neither would she risk transforming to become Ladybug. "What do you think this person wants?"

"They are using the moth miraculous for evil. Miraculouses are used for good. To help protect from any danger." Wayzz said and sat on the fairy's leg.

Tikki glanced at the turtle kwami. "You don't think..." she trailed off.

She was so confused about what was going on. "What? What do they want?"

"The ultimate power." Tikki finished off and rose up slowly to her chosen. She touched her cheek. "Marinette, promise me that you won't lose those precious earrings. I can't explain what the ultimate power is. Not here. I'm so sorry about all of this danger that is coming after you. We..."

Her hands rose up too. She held the ladybug kwami close. "Whatever it is, I think I can handle it."

"We have to enter the Dark Forest again."

Marinette's figure froze. No, not again. She couldn't do it. She looked at her sword that was off to the side.

"There's no way..."

She stood up and set Tikki down. Her father was gone. He was being used.

Wayzz looked up at her. He knew she could do this. Just a little boost of confidence and she would be okay.

"I'm gonna sit this one out...

Got to take a chance now.

Not be a prisoner of doubt."

She turned back to the Dark Forest and took out her sword. There was a strong look of determination on her face. Her wings flapped and she headed in. She also called out to Tikki. "Spots on!"

And a few sparkles later, she was Ladybug. She swung her yo-yo around, lighting up parts of the area as the sun set.

"I'm coming!"

The sound of her voice alerted the mushrooms. So familiar. Yet...

"A fairy named Ladybug is in the Dark Forest.."
