“Tag!”

The girl with the blue hair got him, again. She aimed for the brunette, but she was to fast on her skates.

“I’m going to get you Chloe!”

Chloe ran shrieking through the people who were gathered to celebrate something concerning the Louvre. Adrien followed her close behind and nearly got her as they bumped into a woman you wouldn’t want to mess with.

“Carol! Mini Agreste! And you other two! What are you thinking! You can’t just run around, screaming, while running into people on an exclusive gala!”

The four had their heads lowered and stared at Audrey Bourgeois shoes as if they were the most interesting thing in the world. That was until the little brunette, Alix, pointed at something. Because Audrey was standing in some jello they dropped while playing catch.Uncontrolled giggles were soon filling the hall they were currently standing in.

Audrey started ranting that they should take her serious and how they are fired. Suddenly a calming hand was put onto her shoulder.

“Oh, Audy, they are only kids, don’t take it to heart. I’m sure they didn’t have any bad intentions.”

While the blond boy jumped in the arms of the woman with a cry of ‘Mommy!’, the bluenette bowed her head.

“Yes, ma’am. We’re very sorry ma’am.”

Tomoe Tsurugi heard her daughter’s voice. “Kagami, what is going on? You just ran off.”

“I’m sorry mother, we were playing tag and then ran into her.” Kagami points at the, now calm, Mrs. Bourgeois.

Emilie reassured Tomoe that everything was alright and nothing happened. Shortly after Alim Kubdel stepped to them and the kids were send of to Alix’ room to play there, where nothing could happen.

This is one of Adrien’s happiest childhood memories. But now this is all over. His mother died a few weeks ago and he’s now 13 but he wasn’t allowed to leave the house or communicate with his friends since than on. So everything he’s been doing the last days was lying on his bed and wait for the day to be over.

He was angrily slamming the keys of his piano because his father wanted him to practice and he did, he was just not good at it. If it wasn’t for Alix and the window he opened so everybody could hear him he would have never noticed Chloe, Kagami and Alix throwing pebbles at his window, but Alix decided to aim for the opened window and hit him on the back.

Knowing no one but those three would dare to throw something at the Agreste Mansion leaned out the window and waved to the them.

“Yo, Rapunzel, ready to break out of this hellhole?”

“Alix! They could hear us!”

“So? At least he’ll know what we think of this! And that nothing can stop us! We’ve given him weeks. We didn’t even know if Adrien was alive anymore!”

“Even if Alix is exaggerating a bit, I have to agree, Gabriel should know that this is no way of dealing with loss.”

“Alright, alright, but how, exactly are we going to get him out? Have you thought about that?”

“I don’t quite believe that this will work, but Alix had an idea.”

“Yes, you’re going to throw a rope from the balcony of the hotel, Chloe, and Gami and I will tie the end to something like a stone and throw it to Adrien. As soon as it’s safely secured on both ends, Adrien will climb out.”

“To the top of the hotel?”

“I thought only over this giant wall, but the hotel would work too.”

“I... actually expected worse.”

“See, Kagami, I told you she would like my idea and if Adrien doesn’t like it, I have another one.”

“No! It’s alright! We’ll go with it!” It was his best and only option.

By those words, Chloe hurried of for the hotel and a few minutes later a rope fell down from the top balcony of the hotel.

“Sooo, Kagami, any idea what we could tie it around?”

“You didn’t think of this?!”

“I didn’t think I would get this far!”

“Alright, I think I have an idea.”

Without another word Kagami sprinted into the hotel. Inside she didn’t have time to wait for the elevator, so she sprinted up the stairs all the way up to the top, to Chloe’s suit.

“Where is it? Where is it?” Kagami was frantically searching for the bag she dropped of earlier, all her fencing equipment was n it, including her helmet which should be heavy enough to throw it over the giant fence into Adrien’s room.

There it was. Under the bench in front of Chloe’s bed. Kagami ripped the big open rumoring through its content and at the bottom of it was her helmet. As she hastily grabber her helmet she tumbled down the few steps and nearly landed face first on the floor. Thanks to various sports like fencing, yoga and some ancient Japanese fighting technique she placed her foot forward and steadied herself.

Back down next to the Agreste mansion found Kagami Adrien and Alix happily chatting, the later holding the end of the rope waiting on Kagami.

“Kagami! You’re back!” Adrien spotted her easily and was waving excitedly at the thought of finally getting out. “What did you do?”

“I got my helmet. We can tie the rope around it.” The short pinkette ecstatically threw her arms around Kagami.

“You’re brilliant, Gami.”

Not even a minute after the two girls had the helmet tied up with thousands of knots because Chloe insisted on more than one. She screamed it from the hotel through a megaphone, it’s marvelous how neither Gabriel, himself, nor Nathalie took notice it. But the Agreste’s were rich, so maybe they had soundproof walls?

But that’s beside the point. Alix took the helmet from Kagami and weighed it in her hands, to calculate how she’d have to throw it. Happy with how the helmet felt in her hands she took a throwing stance, aimed, threw and hit.

“Whooooo!” Alix was jumping and fist bumping the air in celebration.

While Alix was cheering over her victory, Kagami kept a cool head and shouted instructions to Adrien, “Take the rope and tie it to something like... your poll! Yes, that should work.”

Adrien quickly did as told. “Done!” He was already climbing along the rope over the fence and, jumped down into the arms of Alix and Kagami.

“Shit, Adrien. You’ve gotten heavy.”

“Gee, thanks.”

Chloe started shouting through her megaphone again, “Guys, I’m coming down!”

Adrien now once again lives his childhood happily ever after with his best friends, right at his side.
