Cat hummed to himself as he walked through the park to Marinette's. They were going to make mini apple pies and then read a story. As much as Cat liked pies, he was more looking forward to being read to.

Cinnamon sugar, Cat thought. Thunk! Lost in thought, Cat blacked out as he hit a tree trunk…..

Cat was falling, falling down a dark hole. Why wasn't there anything to grab onto? Was he going to die? He covered his eyes as he saw the earth rushing towards him…

Thump! Was he dead? It seemed a little to soft a landing for that, and Cat slowly opened his eyes. He was alive and in a beautiful forest! Birds chirped above him in the trees and Cat sighed happily at the peaceful atmosphere.

"Stop! Oh, please stop!" The peacefulness was shattered as a young girl around Cat's age ran by him. Cat blinked in surprise as a man in a purple suit could been seen running through the trees after the girl.

"Here, I know a hiding place!" Cat called to the girl. "Oh, thank you! He's after my Miraculous and my apples!" Cat unhooked his baton and launched themselves into the branches of the trees. From here, they were well hidden and out of the evil man's reach.

Cat opened his mouth to ask a question, when the girl put a finger to her lips and parted the branches. The man tramped past, walking with a cane. They wanted till the birds started chirping again, and the girl sighed a great sigh as she leaned against the tree trunk. "I've lost him, for now!"

"Who are you, and why does he want your...what did you call it again?" "Miraculous. Hawkmoth wants it to make a wish, but to do that he needs my earrings. I have the power of a Ladybug." Cat cocked his head quizzically. "You don't look like a ladybug." "I'm Marinette most of the time. I was picking apples when Hawkmoth spotted me. I was picking them for Master Fu who gave me my magic jewels is sick and wanted some apple tea."

"Would you like a brave Knight in Shining Leather to accompany you on your quest, M'lady?" Cat asked. "Why thank you, that's very kind."

"Did you make the cloak yourself?" Cat asked, admiring her bright red cape and hood. "Yes, I'm a fashion designer." The two got to know each other as they walked, until they reached Master Fu's door.

Rap, rap, rap. "Come in," a voice called. Marinette frowned, her hand hesitating on the doorknob. "That doesn't sound like Master. Let's enter with caution."

Master Fu was nowhere to be seen and Marinette gave a yelp of fright as she saw Hawkmoth sitting in Master's chair. "Spots On!" she called, and Cat blinked as she transformed into a beautiful ladybug! "We're is he?" She asked, whirling a yo-yo. "No Miraculous, no Teacher. Now, let's have a deal…." Bang! Hawkmoth dropped to the ground as Cat held up a frying pan. "This was hanging on the wall."

"Well done, Cat! Now, let me send him back to his world!" After, they untied Master Fu who had been hiding in the closet. "Good work you two, now let's have some tea and pie." "Pie?" Clang! Cat dropped the pan on his foot, yelping with pain as the world grew dark….

"Cat, Cat, you okay?" Cat blinked slowly, seeing Marinette. "Oh, Princess! What happened?" "You were hit on the head with an apple. You okay?" "I'm okay, now let me tell you about my dream!"
