After the patrol, we went to Marinette's house to grab the small bag she had. The whole house was in ruins completely burned to the ground. We untransformed in an alley way then made our way to the foster home. Miss Kathryn would most likely be freaked out that I wasn't there so we hurried there. We came through the doors to find Miss Kathryn standing there waiting for us.

"Hello, I'm Marinette. You must be Miss Kathryn. I'm sorry that Adrien left after curfew. I texted him to escort me here since he knew where to go already." Mari apologized bowing deeply.

"Yes, miss. I'm sorry but I didn't want Marinette to get attacked or ambushed on her way here. Paris is not safe during the night." I also bowed.

"It's quite alright I guess. Adrien please go back to your room. I will show Marinette around." She started.

"Yes, ma'am." I said. "See you in the morning, princess." I shippers to Marinette. She giggled softly. I left to my room.

Marinette's POV
I watched Adrien as he left. I focused at the house knowing this was going to be my home for the next 4 years of my life. At least Adrien was here too. I lost almost everything in the fire. Thankfully I had my designing notebook with me. I couldn't bare to lose those. My mom and dad were gone. I felt tears come to my eyes. I rummaged through the debris at home and found a picture of my family. I looked up toward the ceiling and whispered. "Goodbye mama and papa." I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Miss Kathryn, why did it have to happen?" I hugged the stranger. She embraced me back.

Once I calmed down, she showed me around. Showing me my room that I shared with only one other girl. Her name was Elise. I had to be quite since everyone was sleeping. I unpacked my things. I had only the clothes on my back. Tomorrow, I would have to go get some new ones. Maybe Adrien could help me. I had a little money but not much to work off of.

I went to bed thinking of my parents.

Adrien's POV
"Good morning everyone! Wake up! Come down for breakfast!" Miss Kathryn yelled banging some type of gong. I jumped out of bed and quickly made my way downstairs, scanning the crowd for Marinette. Once I spotted her, I waved my arms in the arm hoping she would see me. She looked at me and gave me a smile. I walked over to her and grabbed her hand.

"Did you sleep well, Princess?"

"Like a baby." She replied. There was about 30 other kids in this foster home. In the dinning room, were two huge tables each with 25 chairs. We sat down and let them serve out breakfast. We got eggs and weird shaped pancakes. I ate them. They weren't half-bad even though they looked slightly regurgitated. Marinette was scarfing them down as well. She must have been really hungry judging on how fast she ate them.

"Attention everyone! Since yesterday, two new kids came to us in need. Their names are Adrien Agreste and Marinette Dupain-Cheng." Some people gasped and whispered about me. They must have known what happened. It was played on every television. "Please be kind to them and make them feel welcome. Lunch is at 11:30, and dinner is at 6. You are dismissed.

"Mari, why don't you show me your room, and then I will show you mine," I proposed.

"Alright, this way." She grabbed my hand and lead my to her dorm. The girls section was on the opposite side of the house. Boys and girls did come over to each other's rooms just going where ever the pleased. "This is my room." It was exactly like ours. Another girl was sitting in the room. "This is my roommate Elise." She had blond hair and almond eyes. She was a bit chubby and looks to the around the age of 11. She waved politely, and I waved back.

I looked around the room then specifically at Mari's side. It was near bare. "Mari, do you need some clothes? It doesn't look like you have any." I asked.

"No, I don't. I was going to ask you to help me buy some clothes." She said looking at the ground.

"Why did you say so earlier? Come on let's go now!" I pulled her out of the room. I heard Elise trying not to laugh at us.

"Are you sure? You don't have to buy them for me." She said trying to catch up.

"No it's fine. I have a lot to spare anyway. Where do you want to go?"

"To the mall I guess."

"Alright let's go." We walked side by side in a comfortable silence. Once we made it to the mall my princes dragged me to some kind of clothing boutique. She modeled me some clothes and ask for my opinion. "You look purrfect, M' Lady." She chuckled and bought them. She had about 5 more outfits to wear. One in which was Chat Noir themed. We went back to the foster home, and it was already lunch.

I grabbed my food and slipped out of the house. I ran to my house garden. I wanted to see it one more time. I made a pit stop at the flower shop and purchased a single pink rose and a red tulip. I rushed to my house. I didn't know if anyone lived here now, but that wasn't going to stop me. I ran into the back yard. We had a huge willow tree in the garden, beside it a granite bench. I dug two small holes in the ground in front of the willow tree and planted the two flowers there. I sat there for a while remember both my parents. A few tears came out of my eyes watering the flowers I just planted. Why did they have to leave? It was so hard for me to let them go. Especially my father who was still alive but in prison. I won't ever be able to see him again. I was on my knees weeping over my parents. I felt a light touch on my shoulder. I looked up. My tears made it hard to see but Marinette was clearly there. She knelt next to me hugging me. I cried into her shoulder for the hundredth time.

"A pink rose was my mother's favorite. The red tulip was my father's. I placed them here in my parents memory." I said in between breaths of air.

"It's okay Adrien. I will always be here for you." She said as she rubbed my back.

"Thank you so much, Mari, for being there for me no matter what."
