A/N: And now onto a new chapter.

This is definitely a multi-chapter story which I don't know how long it will be so just be patient and don't ask how many there'll be. Just replying to a review from a Guest. You're welcome.

Let us begin!

'You've got to be kidding me! Why would my dad be here out of all places? I'm so totally caught... unless we come up with a plan to sneak out,' Adrien deduced, sinking into his seat.

"Adrien, why are you hiding?" Marinette asked, also following his motion in suit.

"Because," Adrien whispered, "there's my dad is here right now and he isn't allowed to see us, so we need to hide."

For a quick second, Marinette looked up and peaked to see Gabriel Agreste getting a table with Natalie just behind them.

"So, what's the situation?" The blonde asked.

As a child, her eyebrows furrowed as much as they could and she spoke. "Right behind us."

Adrien nodded and once more tried to access his sticky situation he found himself in. Why, when everything started to get good, something always had to get in his way?

He just prayed that his dad wouldn't catch him with mini Marinette, or else that would definitely cause some suspicion.

"Just great..." Adrien sighed and ran a hand through his hair and sunk deeper into the seat. "I didn't think my dad would come here, of all places."

Marinette looked at Adrien in confusion. "So what now? What do we do? How can we escape without being noticed."

"Hmm... I have an idea," the blonde said. He scooted over to Marinette and took out her pigtails and put on a semi-big hat he had taken with him to cover her hair and her face. Adrien took of her jacket and whispered the plan into her ear, which she smiled and nodded.

With that, the blue haired girl got up and started walking with a considerably big milkshake in her hand, and consequently she happened to trip and spill it all over Gabriel.

He stood up with disgust as he tried to get the milkshake off his suit, with Natalie cleaning it as best as she could before she turned to little Marinette who was currently disguised.

"Oh my! I'm so sorry mister, I wasn't looking where I was going and accidentally tripped," she said, pretending to as apologetic as possible.

Gabriel looked at her with a very agitated look but then remembered not only his position but his image and instead of scolding her, he took a large sigh and replied with, "Well is your guardian with you?"

She giggled a little bit but quickly resumed with her little act. "Their outside waiting for me!"

And while Marinette was having cheap banter with Gabriel and Natalie it gave Adrien the opportunity to sneak out the back door.

With a breath of relief, the blonde couldn't believe his misfortune and luck at the moment. Not only did he escape his father but also got his day with Marinette interrupted. Well, for now all he had to do was wait.

Finally after a striking fifteen minutes of waiting Marinette rushed to the back of the cafe where Adrien was waiting for her. Her little legs ran as quickly as she could and did what she wanted to ever since she locked eyes on Adrien.

Marinette jumped into his arms, giving off a big smile and Adrien gave one in return. After swinging her around a few times he set her down and had a fist bump with her name on it.

The child in front of him quickly made one as well as they pounded them together. "Let's go, okay? Mr. Agreste seemed really suspicious when I wouldn't let him and Natalie walk me outside to meet my guardian," Marinette informed, grabbing Adrien's hand.

Adrien nodded in reply. "Okay, gotcha. And knowing my dad I wouldn't be surprised." They made their way back to the mansion through the back door as to which Adrien dismantled the security cameras and from their it was smooth sailing. Still the elephant in the room was brought up.

How would he still turn Marinette into older Marinette?

After getting home, Adrien was sitting on his bed with Plagg observing Marinette playing when Plagg had an idea.

"Well it's obvious this Marinette of your's has a kwami, I mean how else would she transformed. My only question is where is she?"

"The kwami?" Adrien questioned.

Plagg nodded and flew to Adrien's shoulder. "Yes, me and her go way back you see. If anyone should know why Ladybug is still stuck like this it's her. Hold on," the kwami informed the model as he swooped down to talk to Marinette.

Of course Adrien couldn't hear anything but that still didn't make him any less curious than peeking over to look at what they were talking about.

Then Tikki appeared out of Marinette's new bag that Adrien had bought for her during their shopping spree since her older one was too big for her.

He could see Plagg and Tikki interacting but nothing else besides that. This was the first time that Adrien saw Tikki and she looked exactly how he imagined. Small, with wings looking like a ladybug with red and black spots.

If anyone knew anything about Ladybug it was obviously be her kwami. He made his way down to the first level of his room and crept behind Tikki. "Hello." He said as nice as humanly possible without trying to scare her.

She turned around and squealed, flying around Adrien. "You don't know how long I've waited for this moment! I've always wanted to meet the new Chat Noir." The kwami stopped flying around Adrien's head, "I'm Tikki."

"Nice to meet you Tikki, I'm Adrien Agreste."

"Oh, trust me I know. You learn things from Marinette's bag. You were one of my candidates for Chat Noir. I knew I was right." Tikki said, smiling jubilantly.

The blonde agreed and requested to Plagg, "Plagg, take Marinette to the 2nd level, I need to talk to Tikki."

Plagg immediately complained in response, "Do I have to?"

"Yes."

"Ugh fine but I want Camembert cheese for this." With that the cat kwami took Marinette to the 2nd level.

Adrien sat on the couch and Tikki sat in his hands that he extended to her. "What's the problem Adrien?"

Adrien for a moment looked up at Marinette then down back to Tikki. "It's Marinette. I don't know what to do and how to change her back. She can't stay like this forever."

"I agree. Marinette has a family and friends to get back to, but what would you have in mind?"

"I-I don't know... if you don't know anything, then maybe someone who does can help us." At this comment Tikki froze in her place but quickly regained her composure.

She shook her head. "N-no! No one I can think of. Sorry Adrien..." she trailed off, giving a slight eye roll.

The blonde stared intensely at the kwami and slightly squinted his eyes, evaluating her response. Tikki held her breath in anticipation and gave a breath of relief when Adrien said he believed her.

'I don't think I'm allowed to tell Adrien about Master Fu.'

Adrien let Tikki go back to Marinette and went to his desk and sighed. Peering out the window he saw his father exit from his limo and turned back to Marinette.

"Stage 2!" He yelled and Marinette and Tikki proceeded to hide in Adrien's closet. Now since she had stayed their for over a week they had developed signals and procedures when Marinette needed to hide or do anything else with company.

All Adrien heard were footsteps passing his room and gave a small knock, letting them know the coast was clear.

Later on that night after eating both the superhero pair went to bed. Adrien that night tossed and turned in his sleep thinking about a way to help Marinette. There had to be someone who could help them, but no one came to mind at least right away.

How... how did it all begin? When he became Chat Noir... how Adrien got his ring. Deep in his sleep he started to recall the events of earning his ring.

Everything seemed to be a blur, except there was a man, and old man with a cane who helped. He dropped the back which Adrien grabbed in hopes of returning it, and ended up becoming Chat Noir.

It all started with... that old man!

In a pool of sweat Adrien awoke from his dream and wiped his forehead. He turned to his alarm clock as it was 8:45 am. He'd slept all that time and even forgot to set his alarm clock for school today.

Instead of rushing to school like he would when he was late, Adrien calmly got up and left Marinette a note.

He snatched his backpack and ran out the door, not going to school but determined to find the old man.

Adrien ran through the streets of Paris till he saw the exact same old man with his cane and beard crossing the street. Adrien precariously followed him till they were side by side, but Adrien couldn't utter a word.

He gripped tightly onto the straps of his bag, and his eyes peered down at the old man.

And when they came to a spot where two roads diverged, the old man's cane stopped clacking and said, "It's obvious that you need to speak with me. Come, right this way." Then his clacking cane walked past as Adrien followed closed behind with his whole attention.

He led them to a dojo and led them inside.

"I am Master Fu, Adrien."

The blonde looked shocked at the mention of his name. "Well.. I'm Adrien and Master Fu, I need your help."

A/N: Hey, sorry for the late return. But he, our boy Adrien got his ring, am I right? Just kidding, hope you all enjoy. I'll hopefully be back soon. Bye.
