ADRIEN'S POV:
It was too amazing to be true, I was going to be married to the love of my life, my…Lady? Hm that's strange something feels wei-
"Eric-kins!" a soothing voice called. My eyelids grew heavier as I took in a relaxing breath. My betrothed approached me, quickly closing the distance between us.
"Mm?" I replied, melting into her touch as she cupped my chin with her smooth hands.
"That bore of a servant said that the two of us can be wed tomorrow. Doesn't that sounds wonderful" she cooed.
Mmm 'wonderful'…wonderful, wonderful. This felt like a dream, to think I would be together with her forever. She was truly beautiful, her stunning blue eyes…blue? Green?
Green eyes, of course.
"Oh yes and that Lady Scarlett turned out to be nothing more than a peasant and thief after our riches…She betrayed your trust, so you needn't remember her." she stroked my cheek.
Lady Scarlett? For a moment a fuzzy sense of worry struck my chest.
Danger? My Lady is in danger…no what was I thinking? She was right in front of me…how had I met Lady Scarlett again?
"My love? You seem to be drifting. Focus on me" she commanded, my eyes were drawn to the necklace hanging from her neck. It seemed to glow.
Mmm wedding…my Lady…

MARINETTE'S POV:
Well this is just great. I'm trapped in a prison cell, in the lowest layer of the castle and I had been in here for over a full day already.
Which meant that I only had less than a day left before the third sunset. Once that happened I would turn back into a mermaid and belong to the Sea Witch forever. If that happens then Chat and I have no chance of finding a way back home. Let alone the fact I had no idea how to get back home in the first place!
How was I going to get out of this cell?
"Psst" I thought I heard a voice…maybe it was just the wind.
"PSSST Ariel" Nope. That was not my imagination.
I looked around the cell before seeing the small little crab clinging to the bars.
"Ariel! We are going to bust you out of here!" he whispered.
'Why are you whispering?' I asked with hand motions.
"What? The guard… wait why is 'der no guard? What kind of castle cell doesn't have a guard?" he seemed baffled at the lack of professionalism.
'Hmm I suppose they're helping to prepare for the Prince's wedding' I mouthed bitterly.
"Wedding! Did you say 'wedding' 'prince'? Child no no we must get you to kiss him before the sun sets or the Sea Witch! Oh! What will your father say!?" he began nervously biting on his claws.
'Sebastian please, I need your help to get me out of this cell' I gestured, snapping the crustacean out of his hysteria.
"Of course! What shall I do for you?" he did a one claw salute. Hmm…I looked around the cell. Clearing my head I pictured everything in black and white, only trying to bring focus to the things I would need. One of the bars of the cell door caught my attention, flashing red for a second. That was it! We were so close to the sea, iron bars! The salt water corrodes iron. For once I was actually glad for all that extra chemistry work from Ms. Mendeleiev would give us every friday.
'Alright I need you to find some kind of hammer or something to break down that loose bar. Think you can manage it?' I mimed the action of a hitting a hammer on a nail.
"Yes Mam!" he saluted again before scuttling away.

ADRIEN'S POV:
"Sir?" I heard my personal servant call as I gazed out the window of my room. Having just put on my wedding suit I was now simply passing time before the preparations were complete.
"Grimsby my man!" I greeted the older gentleman. He approached, a troubled expression clearly shown through his scrunched brow.
"Your highness…I can not believe that I am about to say this…but do you truly wish to marry that…woman?" he shuddered. I rose my brow in question. What was he talking about?
"I know I have been pushing you to find a bride…but is she really the 'one'? She seems quite…demanding. I had truly believed that the Lady Scarlett was the one you were referring to, I mean the way you looked at the young lady…I thought that you felt something for her." he said gazing to the side twiddling his thumbs.
"Well of course I would, she saved me from drowning after all" I replied without much thought.
"Wait what?! You said that it was your fiancé Lady Vanessa that had saved you that day! That's how the two of you met" he yelled.
"Hmm Vanessa? Who?" I felt dizzy and disorientated.
"Prince Eric?! What is going on?"
Wait…something feels wrong.
"I knew there was something off about that woman. Lady Scarlett I must retrieve her, my suspicions were correct. I feel I have made a terrible mistake. Wait here sir, when I come back please try to explain." he rushed off.
What was I doing here. Why am I in a white suit?…My Lady in a cell?
I have to go find her.
"Ohhh noo Prince, we can't having you leaving my all by myself at the alter" a beautiful yet unsettling voice growled.
Lila?…but with My Lady's voice?
"Wha-" I began. She pressed a firm finger to my lips.
"Uh uh doll face, you're going to stay right by my side where I can watch you. Can't let you and that mermaid find each other can I?" her necklace began to glow.
"Hey wai-!" I tried to shield my eyes.

MARINETTE'S POV:
My ears perked when I heard the sound of clicking along the stone floor.
'Sebastian?' I hoped.
"Haaaa- coming- your high—ness—haaa—" he wheezed. Slowly he made his way to my cell, in tow was a small hammer attached to a handkerchief that was being pulled along with great difficulty.
"—haaa- here-you-gooo" he passed it through the cell bars.
"Would have —ha been —ha sooner if it wasn't for — haaaaa mad man of a chef!"
'Thank you! Ok let's do this!' I mouthed finally being able to do something rather than sitting in a cell.
"Cataclysm!" I yelled out in silence and smashed the hammer against the rusted iron. It broke open enough for me to squeeze through.
"I'm sorry what was that?" Sebastian asked at my curious battle cry.
'Ah hahah sorry… it's something that I've wanted to say for a while' I said, my cheeks reddening. I turned so that he couldn't read my lips, or see my embarrassment.
'Come on let's go stop a wedding.' I declared…wait I had no idea where the wedding was being held. But it was getting late in the afternoon. so I had to hurry and find it.
Just as I raced out of the prison I ran into something that appeared out of no-where blocking the exit. I heard an 'oof' at the same time I fell down, but considering that I couldn't talk I knew that it wasn't me. I looked across the floor to see Grimsby sitting across from me holding his nose in agony.
'Sorry' I mouthed with a half apologetic shrug.
"Ah Lady Scarlett" he said in a deep goose-like voice while his nose was blocked.
"Now I'm glad to have caught you…I mean, I'm not here to 'catch' you..I was just about to let you out. I believe that Lady Vanessa is not who she says she is. I could have sworn that as I was walking past her, I saw the lady's reflection in the mirror display a horrify sea monster in her place. At first I thought I was crazy, and yet, the more that I think about it…I believe the Prince is under the influence of some kind of spell and witchcraft! I know I must sound utterly insane but please believe me!" he rambled on.
I shook my head… Hey it's all I can do right now!
"Come we must stop the wedding. I believe that when he thinks about you, the spell weakens. With her claws into him so deeply, we need some way of fighting it!"
I nodded, clenching my fists ready for a fight.
"Hah ha that's the spirit come this way, the wedding is to be held on a boat! We must stop them…goodness this is far too much excitement for an old servant such as myself." he huffed.
We arrived at the dock. A large long ship was few hundred metres away, but was disappearing into the horizon quickly. It was growing so close to sunset, the sky was a shade of soft tangerine.
"Oh dear me. We've missed it. The ship has taken off.. oh my dear. I am so sorry" he hung his head and began to walk back to the castle.
No. This wasn't the end. I needed to beat Ursula, I wouldn't let he cheat me into becoming her slave forever. I drew in a deep breath and dove into the water.
"Hm? M-my-MY LADY?" Grimsby yelped as he saw me swim in the direction of the boat.
I turned back to him and smiled, with as much gratefulness that I could express non-verbally, I waved in thanks.
He continued to shout words of warning and danger but before he could continue his sound was muffled by enthusiastic splashing around me. Two dolphins appeared at my side. Ok…so mermaid-ness definitely had its perks. In recognition they began to excitedly click at me. I understood what they were saying, just as I could understand Sebastian.
"Your highness, we have received word from Flounder. Please grab a hold of our backs, we will take you to the boat" the two clicked in agreement.
The sound of wedding music grew louder and louder as we approached the ship. I could feel the sun lower behind me. The sense of urgency pounding like a drum in my chest. I saw a rope hanging from the side of the deck. Finally I was only a few metres away.
There was Chat, walking down the isle in a trance, Lila/ Ursula beside him in a bridal dress and veil holding a bouquet of red roses. We kept moving forward but I could see the minister look panicked as he raised his head to the sky. From the clouds an arrow of birds shot down, their target; the Sea Witch. Before my mind could process it, dozens of sea creatures and birds were attacking Ursula. Some pulling her hair, spraying her with ocean water, others smothering her face. I pounded my fist in the air. The dolphin that I had let go of looked back at me in confusion.
We approached the boat, I reached up to the dangling rope and began to climb.
On deck, wedding guests were running around, ducking from swooping birds and screaming trying to avoid stepping on scattered starfish.
I laid my eyes on Ursula who was battling with a seagull, fighting to win the game of tug-of-war over the necklace she wore.
I heard a bark and before I could react, the dog I had met earlier on the beach ran up behind Ursula and with sharp teeth, bit down hard on her rear. She let out a loud pained shriek before falling back. The necklace snapped and the charm shell cracked on the shell.
Wisps of smoke poured out from the broken remains. I heard my voice float into the air, slowly it snaked it's way over to me. I was completely enveloped by a glowing yellow light. I felt the muscles of my throat expand as I drew in the smoke.
"Chat!" I yelled. The feeling of my voice being in its rightful place filled me with joy. I beamed at him as he shook his head out of confusion and smiled back in recognition. He quickly raced over to me.
"My Lady!" he grabbed me tightly, as though hanging on for dear life.
"Chat we don't have time quickly!" I grabbed a hold of both side of his suit jacket.
The sunsets light was quickly disappearing. The last trace of orange began to fade.
NO!
Without hesitation I pulled him forward, and planted my lips on his. Warmth spread over me like a fire as I softened into the motion. Quickly forgetting his surprise, he closed his eyes. His fingers ran through my hair, gripping the dark locks tightly as he pressed himself in closer. A spark of electricity jolted through me as attraction ran rampant. I fell further and further into the rhythm of the kiss. I felt an elated breath exhale as Chat halted the kiss to gaze at my face.
A pain jointed in my hips. I fell to the floor. Groaning in pain I clasped my hands around my waist.
"Ladybug!?" Chat cried. I rolled on the deck as my legs began to burn and twist. Seconds later they had transformed. In their place, the red tail had returned and flopped to the side.
"Hahaahah you're TOO LATE!" Ursula roared, her original gravelly voice returning. Sunset had fallen the moment before our kiss.
She crawled over on her two hands, her claws digging into the wooden boards as she scratched her way towards me. Despite the real-life horror movie scene that I saw playing out before me, I was distracted as I saw a little purple bug emerge from the shattered remain of the shell charm.
"Chat the akuma!" I cried desperately. In understanding his eyes darted to the purple moth slowly flapping away.
"Say goodbye to your prince!" Ursula sneered. She grabbed my wrist and pulled. I scowled, scrunching my fist I drew back and socked her right in the nose.
"YOU BRAT!" she screamed. I turned back to Chat, he had captured the akuma in his palms squashing it in his hands.
A bright purple light began to emerge from his arms. A swirling vortex appeared in front of Chat.
In a short moment, he ran over to me prying me from Ursula's grip, scooped me up and together we jumped through the portal.
And like that it was all over…or so I thought.
Everything looked like it was spinning…I saw water…more water? But it was so hot and foggy. Feeling sick I held a hand to my forehead it was beaded with sweat, my hands was dripping with steaming warm water. Glancing around my surroundings, I noticed that I was in…a hotspring?
"YUURI!" A cheerful voice yelled.
"Gahhhh!" I screamed. The man was standing before me with only a small white towel covering his waist and…lower regions.
He was a tall handsome silver haired man with an extremely toned figure, arctic eyes shone with delight as he looked straight at me. He flicked his long fringe that rested on the right side of his pale skinned face.
He winked at me and began to run, I held my hands up as I saw him pull on the towel. I felt a large splash and was covered in a spray of the springs water.
"Ahhhh" the man sighed, sinking into the water until in went up to his mouth.
I groaned. We hadn't made it home. Instead we'd been transported into another story!
