YSA'S POV
Allison and I left early in the morning for our flight back to London. Marinette and our parents decided to come with us to see us off but I didn't tell them that Im just leaving for a week,part of my surprise. Actually, I didn't tell any of them even Adrien. Im excited to finish this project and be back to Paris as soon as possible. I don't know why I changed my mind but one things for sure, my miraculous mission isn't gonna look out for itself. I'm sure Ladybug and Catnoir can handle themselves for a week. I mean, they're been heroes for 2 or more years and I'm sure they will hold on just fine. I also informed Master Fu about my absence so the responsibility doesn't bother me much.
"You have to listen to Allison young lady,okay?" Mom reminded me for the last time. She's been out and about it since we were in the car. Marinette just shook her head with our mother's fifth reminder.
"Mom, Ysa is old enough to know it " Marinette warned our mother.
"Oh, shut it. Im just going to miss her so much." Mom hugged me tightly. I hid my smile, not letting them know about my plans on coming back.
"I'm sure you do, we all do." Marinette joined the hug, and I feel another strong arms hugging us and lifting us in the air.
"My daughters! Look how you've grown." Dad commented while still hugging us.
Few minutes of saying our goodbyes,Allison interrupted us.
"I hate to break your farewell speeches, but Ysa and I really have to go."
Marinette tears flow upon hearing what Allison said. I can't take seeing her cry so I hugged here one last time.
"Don't cry, I'll be back. " I whispered and waved goodbye to them before entering the lounge.
Allison and I made it to our seats and comfortably sat down.
"You didn't tell them that you're going back for just a week?" Allison asked me. I just shook my head and smile sheepishly.
"You naughty girl. " She exclaimed. And I just laughed before closing my eyes and sleep inside the plane.

ADRIEN'S POV
"Adrien you've been looking at your phone for the last couple of hours and you cannot even moved on about ysa's last message?" Plagg whinned beside me as I'm looking at my phone for the last time.
"It's her last message plagg. I can't help but think I'll never be able to see her again." I sulked while laying on my bed. It's been 5 days since she's gone back to london. Her message contains her last goodbye,telling me to take care and that she will miss me.
"Relax,kid. You'll see each other again, eventually." He said. I rolled out my eyes for his words of encouragement.
"Thanks a lot plagg." I answered with sarcasm. He just laughed at me.
"Instead of mopping around and missing her, why don't you get up and go to school. You'll be late."
"Right. Thanks for reminding." I said then shot up from bed to take a shower.
Since Ysa's disappearance, my daily routine always goes by school,piano practice,fencing,modelling and saving paris. I admit she took a part of me and I think I may not be just like the way I was when she was here. Sometimes I might be going crazy and I'm thinking of visiting her to stop myself from missing her so much but I stopped myself for she may get the wrong idea.
I arrived to school on time when the bell starts ringing. I heard whispers when I entered the corridor. I know some of the students acted like I'm one of them and some of them still can't accept that I go to their school.
"Yow dude!" My mood lighten when I heard Nino called me from the entrance.
"Good morning,Nino." I replied with a smile.
"So I heard Marinette goes with Ysa to see her off. " I stopped walking when I heard her name. Suddenly my mood changes and I feel like I don't like to go to school anymore.
"Don't worry dude. I'm sure we'll see each other again. " Nino comforted. He must have seen my gloomy face.
I nodded and we both went up stairs to our respective classroom. I didn't even greet Ms.Bustier and just went to my seat and sat down even after she called for attendance I wasn't paying any attention. And the boring day of my day began.
*****************************
MARINETTE'S POV
"Have you noticed Adrien's change of moods this past few days?" Alya whispered beside me. I noticed it too. Since Ysa went back to London Adrien become a gloomy person. I wonder why? Is something wrong with him and his father?
"Maybe he and his father are in bad terms again?" I answered.
"Hmm? Maybe and maybe not."
"Huh? What are you saying?" I curiously asked but she just said nevermind.
I thought I'll just ignored it and gave my attention to our teacher when my eyes landed on the bracelet that Ysa gave me the day we depart ways. I put a hand on it and caress it on a gentle way. How I wish she was here. We just got back together and now she's gone again. There's so many things that I wanted to do together with her. I wanna express how much I love her in my own special way.
"Hey!you're idling." I was pulled back from my thoughts by Alya.
"H-huh? W-what is it?" I shot back.
"You're not listening to me. Im asking you about Adrien's birthday." She said.
"Birthday? What about Adrien's birthd-- NO WAY! HOW CAN I FORGET!? ITS ADRIEN'S BIRTHDAY!" I whisper-yell when It hit me. She shush me while looking out if someone heard us just now. Oh yeah, were still in the middle of the class and I'm glad our teacher didn't hear us.
"Quiet down Marinette. Adrien and Nino are just infront of us, you don't want your plan going to waste did ya?" She said and I nodded. Oh my god! I was so busy missing my sister and I didn't even remember my crush's birthday!
"What am I going to do Alya?! Adrien's birthday is in two days and I don't even know what to give him!" I hysterically asked her.
"Calm down,girl. We still have two days to think it through." She answered. She's right. No need to panic Marinette. I took a deep breath and relax my mind.
Few minutes and we're done with our classes. Alya and I both head to the cafeteria to meet up with Adrien and Nino when I bumped into the ultimate liar, Lila.
"Sorry Marinette. My eyes are acting up again." She smiled apologetically.
The other day she said she had a terrible problem hearing, and now her eyes are acting up?! This liar got some nerves making stories just to gain everybody's sympathy.
"No arguing. Nino and Adrien are watching." Alya whispered on my ear. I looked at Adrien's table and saw them looking at our direction. I just fake a smile and said
"No worries, Lie-la. I'm sure everyone will see through yo--i mean everyone will understand."
I sat down infront of Adrien while Nino and Alya sat down beside each other.
"So,dude. What's your plan for your upcoming birthday?" Nino asked and I turned my gaze to Adrien waiting for him to reply.
"I don't know yet, Nino. My father didn't mention it yet." He answered and I nodded. Adrien still relies on his father's decision,I see.
"But it's your birthday, shouldn't you be the one planning it?" Alya asked and Adrien just shrugged the topic off. I was about to ask when my phone starts ringing. I turned to look at it and my eyes sparkled with glee upod seeing who the caller is. It's Ysa! She's video calling me and I didn't waste a second answering it.
"Hey!" I greeted when I pushed the answer button. I saw her walking down the busy road with her face mask still on. Adrien,Nino,and Alya focus their attention at me.
"Yow,sis! How's life?" She asked.
"What do you mean? I'm fine. What about you? Why are you walking and where are you?"
"Relax. I'm heading home. I just went to a nearby bakery to grab something." She laughed and I pouted.
"Shouldn't Allison be with you? What if someone recognized and grabbed you?" I asked.
"What am I? 10? Besides, Allison has something to do too so I didn't bother her." She answered.
"Is that Ysa?" Alya asked and I swear I just saw Adrien lightened up.
"Yep! Say 'Hi' sis!" I said then let my camera faced them.
"Hello!!! How have you all been?" Ysa asked with a loud voice.
"Hey,dudette! Nice to see you again. We're fine. Except for this one." Nino answered and gestured at Adrien making me confuse and I know Ysa too.
"Eh? Why? Are you okay Agreste?" Ysa asked and I laughed mentally about how she addresses him.
"Y-yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I j-just miss you that's all." Adrien said and I gasp at how honest he is. I'm glad Adrien and our friends misses my sister the way I do. I can see Adrien's care for my sister. I know he will be a great friend with her too.
"Aww.. I miss you too,Agreste. I miss all of you!!" She excitedly said.
"When are you going to call mom and dad? They all miss you." I asked and face the camera towards me.
"Too late,sis. I already did." She smiled and stick her tongue out at me, I did the same to her and we both laugh.
"So, when are you going back to Paris?" I asked and her eyes saddened.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked again alarming the three people who are sitting beside me.
"I don't think I can come back, Marinette.Im so sorry." She smile sadly.
"No way, dudette! That does mean we'll never see you again?" Nino asked that made us emotional.
"But you said we'll see each other. You promised." Adrien slams his hands above the table making us jump in shock.
"Yeah. But I don't know when." Ysa answered sadly.
"Then we'll come visit you, soon." Alya suggested making me nod in agreement.
"I don't care when, but I'll sure wait for you. You have to stick to what you promised,Ysa." Adrien said with a serious expression.
"Of course,Agreste. You all have to wait for me,okay?!" She smiled sincerely and we all nodded.
"You have to be careful out there,sis. Don't talk to strangers, and definitely no boys allowed." I jokingly said to her making her scoff in annoyance.
"What are you,my mom?" She annoyingly said and we all laughed at her.
We talked for about an hour before she ended the call. Once I put my phone back in my pocket bag Adrien stood up and bid us goodbye. Turns out his chauffeur arrived to fetch him up. When I went out Nino and Alya parted ways with me saying they had a date at Andre's ice cream shop. So I went home with no one but tikki. Paris has been at peace for the last 5 days and I hope it will stay that way. I walked down the street with a single thought. 'what to give Adrien for his birthday present'.
"Tikki,it's hopeless! I can't think of anything that suits Adrien." I frustratedly said while sitting in my desk chair. I've been thinking about it for an hour now and still nothing.
"Relax, Marinette. You still have two days and Alya said she'll help you right?" Tikki responded.
"But how?! My gift should be decent when I gave it to him. I don't know if he'll like it!" I said cupping my face.
"It's Adrien,Marinette. I'm sure he'll like it!"
"Ugh! Why can't I think of something!" I yelled.
"Marinette? Is something wrong,dear?" Mom asked.
"N-nothing mom!"
"Who are you talking to?"She asked and I panicked.
"W-what do you mean? I'm not talking to anyone." I said.
"I heard you talking to someone."
"Quick! Think of something." Tikki whispered.
"A-ah! Probably,Alya! Y-yeah! I was just talking to her on the phone." I quickly said.
"Are you sure nothing's going on? You seemed frustrated." She said.
"Yes mom! I'm fine. Thanks for asking." I shouted back.
"Okay, if you're not busy come downstairs and help us, there's so many customers down here." She suggested.
"Sure,mom. Be down in a while." I answered.
I tried thinking again but to no avail, I couldn't think of anything so I just bolted downstairs to make myself useful to my parents.
"I can't come up with anything,tikki. Maybe I'll leave this to Ayla." I sighed before going downstairs. Alya can definitely help me with this idea. Hopefully.

YSA'S POV
"Yow! Someone's excited!" Allison said and joined me to the table with her coffee. I just smiled at her.
"Ysa couldn't sleep last night so she had to drag me to a conversation just so she can feel sleepy." Jinro commented while yawning.
"Hey, you said you're not sleepy yet." I pouted.
"Are you that excited to go back and you can't help yourself?" Allison asked.
"Oh,stop teasing me you two. I feel horrible lying to marinette and her friends earlier."I said slamming my head on the table.
"Really? What did you say?" Allison asked me.
"She asked me if when can I come back and I told her I'm never going back. Do you think I overdid it?" I asked while pouting.
"Well, a little. But you're going back to Paris tomorrow so you can cope up with all your little surprise. " She said and sipped through her drink.
"Right! I'm not lying, I'm acting." I convinced myself.
"Rightttt.. there's a difference between those two." Jinro said sarcastically and I just glared at him before shaking my head.
Be ready for my comeback you guys. And I promise I will never leave you again!
