Review. I own nothing, not even this computer.

Adrien opens his eyes and looks around in confusion as the colors continued to swirl around his head. He swings his hands through the large clouds of green and black that swirled in large globes around him.

"Where am I?" He mumbles as he takes a step before falling a thousand feet. He doesn't scream, somehow he is unafraid. He lands on his feet and glances around. The rainbow colored globes had dissapeared.

"Okay...This is freaky. Like really uncomfortably freaky. What's going on?" He asks himself before a weird voice comes from behind him. It is loud and causes him to cover his ears as the words ring all around him.

"Choose one." The words echo around him, multiplying. He turns in shock and sees Marinette Dupain Cheng. He smiles in relief.

"Oh! Marinette! Okay, this has to be a good dream right? I mean you're here so it..."She was staring at him blankly, her head tilted to the side a little bit, her mouth in a firm line. She looked sort of pissed off.

"Marinette?" Adrien asks nervously as he reaches out to the pigtailed bluenette.
"Choose." She says simply before stepping back and falling through the cloud covered floor. Adrien moves to where she had fallen, but it is just firm nothingness.

"Choose one." A voice snaps out loudly behind him, like a breaking straw. Adrien turns again with a frown.
"You know I'm getting sort of sick and tired of all of this turning around. I'm going to give myself whiplash if it happens again." He says jokingly to the figure. He quirks an eyebrow hoping that he came off as funny.

The stern looking Kagami just continued to glower at him. Her bangs were covering her eyes. Her normal frown was even more pronounced. She almost looked like she was in pain.
"Choose one." She said before giving a little hop and going through the floor. Adrien found himself falling again, the wind rushing past him and blowing his hair all over the place. He gasps as he tries to grasp onto something. Words swirling all around him as he glanced around in amazement.

"Choose one." Marinette...That had to be Marinette.

"It's not fair." Kagami. She was being very very controlled.

Adrien covered his ears as he shook his head, the stimulation was driving him insane!
"Choose what?! What are you two asking me to do?!" He gasps out as he lands heavily on his knees and hands. They were sinking into an enormous yellow white circle that covered the entire world. He stuck out his tongue in disgust. It smelt like moldy old socks.
"This is so gross!" Adrien complained as he struggled to his feet before falling again, this time even harder. Two massive doors appeared before him, one was white with pink flower petals dancing across it. The other was red with a black ying yang symbol and a yellow line down the center. He blinked and the doors seemed to move closer.

"What? Choose what?" He said shouting above the din of the words echoing around him, getting louder and closer. The darkness was stifling and the cheese smell was starting to get to his head.

"Choose someone. You need to do it eventually. It's not fair to them, or to you that you haven't." The voice was familiar. Music to his ears. Adrien perked up as she walked between the two doors. Her red suit hugging her body. Her eyes were staring right into his soul.
"Ladybug." He says in delight as he tries to pull his hand free. But the stinking slime just sucked him in even deeper. Ladybug offered her hand out, staring down at him as if he was not even trying.

She sighed and shook her head.
"Oh Adrien. You need to choose one already. It's not right that this has been going on for so long." She said shaking her head.
"What's been going on? Ladybug please help me up..."He felt his face heating up, his mind was getting clogged with that disgusting smell.

"One of the girls! Come on! This is like your biggest thing!" She said pointing between the doors. "So who is it going to be? Just choose one and move on. Let them go. Give them closure. Give yourself closure. It's been years."

She looked sad all of a sudden. Adrien felt his heart twinge. He didn't want his lady to be sad, she was the world to him! He glanced around in amazement before looking at her with a serious glint in his eyes.

"But where is your door my lady?" He hoped that the smirk would tell this dream Ladybug the truth. But she just chuckled and shook her head.

"Oh silly kitty. I was never a choice. And I think we both know that." She said pointing between the two doors. "Now who are you going to choose? Because if you wait much longer..."

She taps one door and then the other. The doors shiver and then collapse downwards into the stinking cesspool and then Ladybug began sinking too.
"LADYBUG!" Adrien howled out, he was soon up to his waist in the yellow white ooze. Ladybug looked up at him sadly, she was sinking faster and was already up to her neck.

"If you wait much longer you won't be able to choose at all." She said as her face disappeared beneath the surface. Adrien tried to struggle forwards. But he was also getting sucked down. He looked upwards trying to make sense of what she was saying, about what was going on. About anything. And then his eyes bugged out of their sockets.

Plagg's enormous head was filling the sky and slowly sinking downwards with it's mouth open and drooling.
"PLAGG! DON'T!"

Adrien then realized as he slide down Plaggs mouth that he was trapped in an enormous wheel of chamembert cheese.

Adrien gasps as he sits up suddenly and bangs his head on an unfamiliar wall that is way too close to him. He winces and cries out as a loud yelp flies from the small kwamii sleeping on top of his head. Plagg hits the wall hard and lets out an indignant mew before flying back to Adrien.

"HEY! WAtch it!"
"Plagg! Oh I'm so glad to see you!" Adrien says grabbing the small black mouse like animal and pulling him in for a hug making Plagg squirm in amazement before relaxing and hugging him back.
"I'm glad that you're okay too. Not like I was worried or anything." Plagg said with a scoff. The two sat there and then Plagg began to purr and vibrate a little causing Adrien to pull back in wide eyed amazement.
"Did you just Purr?"
"No! And if you tell anyone that we know then I will deny it! And I'll sneak cheese into all of your clothes!" Plagg said bitterly before looking around with an anxious look to his large green globes.

Adrien chuckles as he frowns at Plagg,
"You and your cheese. In fact that was in my dream..."
"Yeah, I saw. Your dreams are starting to get incredibly strange, and specific. You might need to talk with someone about those." Adrien did a double take as he shimmied closer to Plagg with confusion.

"Wait you saw my dream? Plagg can you go into my dreams?"
"I'm a Kwamii kid I can do anything!"
"Including going into dreams?" Adrien asked skeptically as Plagg merely shrugged and hovered above him. Adrien didn't know if he bought it, but it would explain the ending of his dream a bit more...

He shivers in disgust. He really really really didn't want Plagg to be capable of going into his dreams. That was just...That was just a massive no.

"Plagg what even happened? Where are we? What's going on?" Adrien asked. Plagg shook his head in amazement.

"It's crazy Adrien! Everything went-"He hacked and coughed and rubbed at his throat as a large smelly green belch bubble flew out of his mouth and smacked the ceiling like it was some sort of hairball.

"Yeesh. Sorry about that. I guess that there are more restrictions to this then I first thought." Plagg snorts and shakes his head before opening his mouth. A long string of painful looking bubbles came pouring out of his mouth as he tried to think of something that would make sense. Finally the bubbles stopped frothing and he fell to the small cot Adrien was sleeping on in exhaustion.

Adrien took a second to process his surroundings. He was in a small wooden hut. Or a camper...A small wooden camper. He could see wheel wells, and there was an electric lantern hanging overhead. The rest of the camper was relatively empty. There was this small very painful cot that he was sleeping on that did not feel great, he was used to King sized beds with feather stuffing and a good mattress. This was something that a camper would use. There was a dresser bolted to the wall and the entire camper stunk of skunk and cabbages.

"Plagg? Where are we? Can you tell me that?"
"The...circus..."Plagg managed to muscle out with a cough and cleared his throat.
"The...The circus? Plagg I didn't...Did I run away and join the circus and not remember any of it?!" Adrien said jumping up and grabbing his hair in amazement.
"Oh man! I am in so much trouble here Plagg! My father is going to lose his mind! Not to mention my bodyguard! And everyone else will-"

Plagg's laughing tore him out of his words and he glowered at the mischevious little fairy like creature.
"What's so funny?"
"Amnesia is a myth kid. And besides you still haven't noticed the-A small bubbly attack-THE OBVIOUS!" He spat out getting irritated by the constant interruptions.

Adrien looked at Plagg in confusion before glancing down at his hands. The entire world seemed to spin. He gripped his chest, his ears were popping and his chest was clenching. His eyes widened and he felt all of his muscles tighten up, as if he was about to run a hundred miles in thirty seconds.

"Okay. Calm down. Breathe. Breathe!" Plagg said nervously floating upwards and spinning around Adrien's head nervously twiddling his tiny paw stubs. "Can I get you some cheese? That should calm you down a little!" Adrien actually let out a little bit of laughter.
"You know you mentioning Cheese makes it a little easier to take all of this...thank you..."Adrien began to breathe a little easier and glanced at the Kwamii.

"So if I lost the ring. Why are you still around? I thought that you would be out of here." Plagg glances down and thinks for a second.

"The person who has the ring is giving me a lot of liberty. They know that you would completely freak out if I wasn't here with you. But me and another friend of yours is here."

"Another friend? Who?" Adrien asked. The entire camper shook as someone knocked on the door with a determination that nearly knocked Adrien off of his backside. Adrien glanced around before losing track of Plagg.

"Look I don't see you but I hope that you are still here when I get back. Don't worry I'm sure that it will all be okay soon." Adrien said as soothingly as he could to the room. He stood up and opened the door to the frowning face of his bodyguard. The man looked stern for a second and then visibly relaxed. Adrien did a double take, he had never seen the man wearing anything besides his typical suit. Now the bodyguard was wearing a white muscle shirt, red suspenders and black pants with large leather work boots. His hair was shaved closer to his scalp, but it was definitely his bodyguard.

"OH! It's you! You're here too! That's great! Can you tell me what's going...on?" He called after the bodyguard as he turned on his heel and started walking into the camp of trailers, campers, tents and random people.

There was a large white tent set up with the smell of cooking coming from it. Adrien stared at it as he went past. A woman was eating with her feet holding the utensils, a man with a pierced scalp, and someone who was surrounded by multiple swords. Just to name a few. Adrien continued after his bodyguard as they walked further through the grounds. Adrien could spy a large ferris wheel, a familiar looking house of mirrors and many more attractions.

"The carnival...I was here just last night. Can you please tell me what's-" His bodyguard paused outside of another tent. This one had the sound of a razor going and the smell of steam from it. A short greasy looking man walked out and glanced him up and down with obvious distaste.

"Well what are you waiting for blondie?" The circus man said before taking his cigar out of his mouth and punching it towards the tent. "Get inside of there! We don't have all day to hold your hands!"

"I...my hands?" Adrien glanced at them before looking back at the short man with the shaved head.

"No your feet! Look we've got to nip this louse infestation in the butt before it gets out of hand! Now get in there!" He moved behind Adrien and started elbowing him in the back. Adrien took a few steps before glancing helplessly at his bodyguard.

"HEY! What's going on?!" Adrien demanded completely confused and starting to lose his temper.

"What are you asking The Gorilla for? He can't talk!" The short man chuckles wetly. Adrien stops and looks at the now embarased man.

"Wait...You can't talk?"
"You didn't know? Jeeeeeez kid! How selfish are ya? Gorilla over there used to be in the underground fight rings, he took a few too many punches to the old throat of his and now any word coming out of his mouth causes him extreme agony!" The short ringmaster chuckled some more as The Gorilla glowers at him before walking up and placing a hand on Adrien's shoulder.

"I...I didn't know." Adrien said in amazement. He had known this man for years, seen him do...not a lot honestly. He mostly just drove him around. But he was consistent. He was a constant prescence in his life. To just learn now that he didn't talk because he couldn't as opposed to wouldn't...It was strange.

The Gorilla nods before they enter the tent. Someone bumps into Adrien as he enters. She looks at him scornfully for a moment. Her eyes were hazel and her head was shaved. But she looked to be about his age.
"Sorry." Adrien apologized as he entered. He froze when he saw the razorblades, the scissors and all other sorts of cutting impliments.

"Oh...please...no..."He said desperately looking up at the Gorilla who merely sighed and nodded. "Please! I don't know what's going on! Or where I am! My father must be worried sick! I need to get home before-"

"Home ain't safe kid. Your pal explained it all to me last night. Your daddy sent you here to keep you hidden away and protected. The only way we can do that is by keeping your identity a secret. Thus the delousing." The short foul smelling man snuck up behind Adrien and ushered him into the wingback leather chair. Adrien glances at The Gorilla who looks forlorn but nods sadly.

"I-Please...Just not my-" He yelps as strong hands grip his shoulders and the razorblades start up loudly and insistently. He howls loudly enough for the entire circus to hear.

Hazel rolls her eyes as she listens.
"God Newbies always act so possesive of their hair the first few months." She grumbles in disgust.

"Honey please let's just talk about this." Anarka said as gently as she could as she gestured for Juleka to come down from the crows nest. Juleka glances between her mom and her brother. She had the cellphone in her hand and glances down at the smashed radio. Her mom grins sheepishly before pointing to the wreckage.

"I am all for finding your classmate but let's just talk about how much money we can get off of this thing. And how the police industrial complex is over militarized and will probably just end up-"

Juleka tuned her mother out as she glances at Luka who simply nods. Do it. Juleka takes a deep breath and smiles sadly down at Anarka.

"Sorry mom." She mumbles as she dials in the number and holds the small cell phone to her ear. "Hello? Police?"

Across town in a small room that was shared between a girl and a god, a large scrap of fabric lays half cut, a pile of scrap books with half designs are leafed through. Marinette Dupain Cheng snorts in her sleep and rolls over before sitting up and wiping the drool off of her chin. She glances at the sleeping Tikki with a grin.

"Man! That was the best sleep that I've gotten in months! With a start like that today is going to be great!"

Across the town again in a small room that looks like a prison cell Kagami tosses her training sword onto the pile of others, she grabs a towel and wipes her glistening forehead with a frown. This was a bad practice. She had stumbled, and hesitated. And had been emotional. That meant that things were going to go poorly today. She could already feel it in her bones.

Something was horribly wrong.
