Adrien chased his shadow from one room to another. Caline had decided to take a little snooze in the living room so she didn't see them nor did she hear the ruckus they made as they wrestled each other. She was a heavy sleeper.

"Come back here you!" Adrien said. They flew into the nursery where he grabbed it by the ankle and tried to make it fit on his foot. But it wouldn't, the shadow just mocked him causing the boy to start crying. His sobbing awakened the sleeping Marinette.

"Boy, why are you crying?" She asked. Startled he flew to the ceiling. "You can fly. I knew it! Strange you don't have wings, so how can you fly?"

He lowered himself down to the floor and bowed to her. She got out of bed and curtsied to him.

"What is your name?"

"What is yours my lady?" He asked.

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng."

"Adrien Agreste."

"Where do you live?"

"Neverland."

"Where is that?"

"Second star to the right and straight on til morning."

"What an odd address. Do they put that on the letters?"

"I don't get letters."

"But your mother gets your letters."

"I don't have a mother."

Marinette looked at him sadly. "No wonder you were crying."

"I wasn't crying about mothers." He said it like it was the most ridiculous reason to be sad over. "I was crying because I couldn't get my shadow to fit. And I wasn't crying."

"I could sew it on for you." She went to get a needle and thread. "Now this might sting a little."

"Ow!" He hissed as she stuck the needle to his foot.

"I'm sorry. Just look at me okay?"

He did and once again he became lost in her lovely face. Chloe peeked through the key hole and watched them. She didn't like the way he was looking at Marinette. It made her purse her lips in jealousy. Chole was said to be the most beautiful thing in Neverland and yet this creature was getting all of Adrien's attention.

"There all done." Marinette said.

He stood up and his shadow stuck to him. "Oh the cleverness of me." He boasted.

"Of course I did nothing." She said sarcastically.

"You did a little."

"A little?" She went back to bed. "Well good night." She said pulling the covers over herself.

Adrien realized he had been very rude to the young girl. Him and his cockiness. "Marinette I apologise." He said. She didn't respond. "You know Marinette one girl is worth twenty boys."

"Really?"

"Yes I should know the lost boys talk about it all the time."

"Lost boys?" She said getting interested.

"They are well named."

"Who are they?"

"Little boys who runaway from home." He said. "When a boy feels sad and unloved usually because of neglectful parents, I take him to Neverland where he can always be happy."

"Are there any girls?"

"No I've never really thought about bringing girls to the island or what it would be like to have them around. It's just me, the boys, and Chloe."

"Who's Chloe?"

"My fairy."

"But there's no such thing as-"

He quickly covered her mouth before she could finish. "Don't say that! Every time someone says that a fairy dies. Now where is she? I know she's here."

"Adrikins! I'm in the drawer!" She screeched.

"You don't mean to tell me there's a fairy in this room?" Marinette asked.

"Yep."

"I've always wanted to see a real fairy. What does she look like? I bet she's very beautiful."

"I guess she is in a way but you're much more beautiful."

Marinette blushed, Chloe glitched her teeth. "Adrien I...I would like...to...give you a kiss." She stuttered.

Adrien did not know what a kiss was nor did he know the special meaning of it. So he held out his hand.

"Don't you know what a kiss is?"

"I will when you give it to me."

Marinette didn't want to hurt his feelings so she went to her jewelry box and pulled out one of her lucky ladybug earrings. She then dropped it into his hand. "For good luck."

"Now I shall give you a kiss." He took a black ring off his finger and gave it to her. She hung the ring around her neck on a chain.

"Thank you."

"Chloe and I come by to listen to the stories." He continued. "The one about the prince and the lady with the glass slippers."

"Oh Cinderella!"

"Yes I wanted to hear the ending."

"Well Cinderella defeated the pirates and rescued her prince but after midnight she left dropping one of her slippers. But the prince found her and they..." She said getting lost in his green eyes. "They lived happily ever after."

"I knew it."

"Adrien I...I would like to...give you a...ring." She stuttered nervously again.

"What's that?"

She then closed her eyes and puckered her lips. He looked at her confused but found himself doing the same thing while leaning in. Chloe turned red all over and just as their lips were about to touch she burst out of the drawer and dragged Marinette away from him by her hair.

"Chloe! No! Stop it! Let go!" Adrien said. He pulled the angry fairy off Marinette. "Seriously Chloe?"

"Well she-"

All Marinette could her was squeaky chattering as she spoke.

"I don't care. You shouldn't do that." Adrien said to her, he turned to Marinette. "I'm sorry. She's not very polite."

Chloe began speaking again.

"What is she saying?" Marinette asked.

"She says your a big ugly girl and if you try to give me a thimble again she'll kill you."

"Oh well that's very rude."

"She says she doesn't care what you think." He turned to the window and started to leave.

"Adrien wait! Where are you going?"

"To tell the lost boys the end of the story."

"I could tell you more stories and I could sing songs too. Especially lullabies."

Adrien thought of something. Why not bring her to Neverland? She could take care of the lost boys. Sure Adrien was the father figure to them, he would play with them, protect them, and teach them how to fight but that wasn't enough. They needed someone strong and brave like him but they also needed someone warm and caring. A mother, Marinette was perfect.

Chloe looked at the boy and sensed what he was thinking.

"No Adrien!" She said. "I know what you're thinking and it's a bad idea. Human girls are trouble believe me!" But he just flicked her away with his finger and thumb.

"Come with me my lady."

"To Neverland?" She said surprised.

"Yes. You could tell stories and the boys like music so I'm sure they would like it if you sang for them. Marinette they would adore you." He said. "And Neverland is a place where kids never grow up and all you can do is have fun and go on adventures."

"It sounds...wonderful."

He smiled. "Let's go then."

"But I can't fly."

"I'll teach you." He took her hand and began to gently pull her out the window with him. "Wait! Can Nino and Erik come too?"

He looked at the two sleeping boys, raised his eyebrow like he did the other night but smiled.

"Wonderful." She said rushing to wake them.

Adrien chuckled and turned to Chloe who glared at him. "Don't give me that look. This a great idea you'll see."
