Three weeks later
Adrien, Nino, Plagg, Wayhem, Luka, Ivan, Nathaniel, Kim, Max, Jagged Stone, and Juleka all stood around a table in the large hut they called the Meeting Hall, they were looking over the small diagram they built to represent the CIty of Paris.
"The people that stayed behind live here, here, and here. They are on our side but their lives are in town, we just need to tell them where to be and when and they will either fight, hide, or flee." Luka said pointing out at the different locations on the diagram.
"Good. Well, we have 2 and a half months to prepare whoever wants to fight for the battle that lies ahead." He explained as the plan was laid out before them.
"Great plan, Malik," Nino said as the others agreed.
"How are the new villagers getting along?" Adrien asked as he ruffled his growing hair.
"14 houses have been built and 6 new stalls in the market," Plagg said happily as he took a drink from his mug, making the others toast in happiness, just as they all laid back and got comfortable on the many cushions around the floor of the hut slightly relaxing as the sun was going down.
"Prince Adrien?" They heard making them all look as Marc came running in and out of breath.
"What is it?" Adrien asked quickly feeling dread rise.
"We have a new arrival, sir." He said standing aside to let the stranger in, she wore a long cloak of red as she entered and removed her hood.
"Tikki," Plagg exclaimed coming up to her and pulling her in for an affectionate hug.
"Not that I'm unhappy that you're here but why are you here?" Adrien asked with concern coming up to them and looking at her with concern.
"The King has decided to move up the wedding." She said quickly while pulling off her gloves and looking at him with a concerned but straight face.
"Damn it!" Adrien exclaimed with great irritation, slamming his mug to the ground. He took in a deep breath and laced his fingers behind his head letting his muscles contract and bulge.
"When is it now?" Plagg asked pulling her closer lovingly.
"On her Birthday." She said with a fallen smile and watched as Adrien's smile fell as his eyes widened in shock.
"That's only a week away," Plagg said as Adrien rubbed his hands over his face in exasperation, then pushing his fingers through his hair he locked his fingers behind his head again as he paced around clearly mad but also concocting a plan but no one really noticed what his mind was doing all they saw that he was pissed to high heaven.
"That's not enough time to train everyone for a fight," Nino said coming up to the diagram table.
"No, we can still do it in a week," Plagg argued joining up at the table with Tikki.
"But there are too many soldiers" Tikki replied.
"But our strength is mightier" Wayhem said thinking aloud stupidly.
Luka, Ivan, Nathaniel, Kim, Max, Jagged, and Juleka all joined in with their own ideas and point of views, the noise was growing louder and louder as they couldn't all agree.
"OK ENOUGH!." Adrien shouted annoyed instantly shutting them all up instantly.
"Sorry, Your Highness," Tikki replied on habit in front of royalty.
"No, it's alright. I'm actually getting an idea." He said with a cocky smile and mischievous eyes.
"That look always gives me the shivers," Nino replied while lightly shaking.
"What idea, Adrien?" Plagg asked looking at him happily.
"Well, we don't need to train them all. We just need to take those that can fight and pillage. But not everyone." Adrien said joining them at the diagram then leaning over it as he formed a plan.
"Are you sure?" Plagg said looking back at Adrien who was silent for a moment as he continued to plan.
"Tikki, you took a great risk by coming here to tell us this." He said looking back at the woman with admiration and a smile
"Well, that's not the only reason why I came." She said gently as she looked at a confused Plagg who still held her closely.
"I had to resign at being the Princess' Lady-in-waiting." She explained calmly as Plagg gazed at her with concern.
"Why? Is everything ok?" Plagg asked feeling guilty about being happy that she was here and apparently to stay, he gently brushed her hair from her face to see her eyes sparkle in happiness when looking at him.
"A virgin Princess can't have a pregnant woman as her Lady-in-waiting," Tikki said looking at Plagg with a smile of happiness and watched as Plagg's face turned red as he grew the biggest smile he ever had.
"Oh, thank you, God." He said as he held her close but gently as the others smiled happily.
"Congrats."
"Congratulations."
"I'm so happy for you."
"This is awesome."
Congratulations fluttered around the room as Tikki and Plagg held each other in happiness with a few tears.
"Congratulations, you two," Adrien said smiling in happiness dreaming of the time that he would enjoy such a beautiful moment with his beloved woman while watching his friends cry and laugh at each other in bliss.
"So back to the Princess?" Nino said making everyone come back to reality.
"What was your idea, Adrien?" Luka asked as they all gathered around the diagram again.
"Well, I was thinking..." They all stood there and watched as Adrien grew a smile as a wicked thought came to his mind just as the sun hit high noon and showering bright golden light through the top of the hut and illuminating them all in God's light.
"Not a rescue." He said picking up the small wood character that was carved in his likeness.
"Then what?" Plagg asked in confusion as he held Tikki who also grew concerned.
"A good Ole Fashioned kidnapping," Adrien replied as he set his figure inside the Church of the diagram.
