Adrien pov.

You know life has a way of making things work out and we'll things had worked out great for me and Marinette. I made up with my father and went back to school where Marinette became my girlfriend much to the shock and confusion of a lot of people especially my ex girlfriend Chloe who I now hear is dating a talking frog. Apparently she promised she would go out with him if she retrieved her Prada handbag from a fountain. Of course she lied but her father wanting to avoid bad publicity that would say local mayor raises his daughter to be a liar all over media so he made her date him.

Marinette's uncle and that pervert Theo were arrested per my phone call and they'll probably be away for a long time. I haven't heard from Lila but Plagg says she's getting her just reward for all the curses she's throughout the years. I don't know how they punish witches but I don't think I wanna find out.

I still see Plagg and Tikki from time to time and they couldn't be happier except whenever they argue over Plagg going to cheese rehab. Nino and I reunited and he was a little upset that I had disappeared for two years without telling him but he forgave me once I explained everything. I also met his new girlfriend Alya who's a pretty cool girl. Together the four of us passed all our classes and graduated. Marinette and I have decided to spend the summer traveling together to see the world before we go to college. My dad said it was crazy but he didn't stop me because he owes me. But before our adventure can began Marinette and I have to attend a little graduation party.

"Sorry I'm late." She said rushing to meet me. She was dressed in a beautiful, light pink and cream colored, lace and vintage spring dress with matching white sandals. She had sewn the dress herself and it looked perfect on her. Her hair was down in waves and pinned back with a pink rose while a little blush and lip gloss highlighted her beautiful face. I swear she was the beautiful woman in the world.

"You are so beautiful." I said embracing her. I inhaled her scent, she smelled of fresh lavender.

"I'm only beautiful because I'm so in love." She giggled while blushing.

We then locked arms and walked into the building where the party was held.

"Hey dude you made it." Nino said hugging me. "Hey you're not gonna disappear on me like you did at the last dance right?"

"No vanishing act this time." I reassured him.

"Girl! You look fantastic!" Alya said running to hug Marinette. "I love the dress."

"Thanks I made it myself." She said.

"Really? Well let's try that dress out on the dance floor."

We spent the whole night laughing, dancing, and enjoying delicious pastries that were provided by the kind caters Tom and Sabine and when it got dark we all went outside to watch the fireworks the school had bought for extra amusement. Marinette and I sat up on a hill, wrapped in a blanket and watched in awe as the entire night sky was lit up with explosions and blast of light and color.

"Aren't they beautiful?" Marinette asked.

"Yeah they are." I agreed.

"So you'll be ready when I come to pick you up tomorrow morning right?"

"Of course and I believe the our first stop should be Normandy."

"I agree and after that London."

"Then sunny Spain."

"Italy."

"And every other country in Europe just ready to be explored by us."

I planted a kiss on her cheek, she giggled and turned to look at me.

"What?" I asked her.

"It's funny." She said. "We spent a whole year together and I had no idea who you really were. It's kind of embarrassing."

"No it's not. To be fair I didn't exactly look like myself."

"No but you sounded the same and you acted the same. It's amazing how I didn't figure it out."

"Well that doesn't matter anymore. What does is that we're finally together. You know after my mom died I never thought anyone would love me."

"Why?"

"Well I always thought that without my looks and my success no one could ever really love me. Even before the curse I always wondered if no one loved the real me, the me that was underneath the handsome model boy. When that curse was placed on me I got my answer and at first I was sad because so many people were repulsed by me even my own father but then I met Plagg and Tikki and you. You guys cared about me, you loved me even though I didn't have thing to offer."

"That's not true." She said. "You have much more to offer other than looks and fame. You're gentle and kind and brave and funny. You treated me so well, you were a prince even though you didn't look the part. To me nothing had changed, in my eyes you were always handsome."

I didn't think it was possible but I loved her more than I ever had. She truly was a beauty with a heart of gold. She always saw the real me, she always loved the real me. She never saw just the handsome model boy or the disfigured freak of nature. She saw the real Adrien Agreste. True she didn't know it for a year but that wasn't important. What was is the fact she loved me, the real me.

"Be honest Marinette did you ever think I was ugly once?"

"How could I think you were ugly? I was in love with you and no matter what you do or how you look, love is never ugly."

"Marinette." I said cupping her face gently. "I love you so much."

"I love you too."

Our lips met in another one of our many passionate kisses. My heart fluttered and I blushes all over. Marinette was right, love was the most beautiful thing in the world meaning Marinette was the most beautiful woman in the world because she had so much love to give. People who have a heart full of love and share that love with others are the most beautiful people in the world.

"You're so beautiful." I sigh against her lips.

"Really?" She said.

"Yes? Don't you believe me?"

"Well it's hard for me to see myself as that. Honestly in my eyes I was always plain and homely."

"You're not. You are so beautiful it makes my heart hurt and warm at the same time. Your beauty shines from the inside and the outside and that in itself is very rare. At least that's what my mother always said."

"Oh Adrien." She pulled me into another kiss and we soon fell asleep in each other's arms, happy that after searching for so long we finally found true love.

...

Normal pov.

"Well looks like we're done here." Plagg said watching the two teenagers from afar.

"The beauty turned the beast back into the prince." Tikki said smiling. "This story continues tell itself and each version is always so wonderful."

"Yeah well I guess it's on to the next kids huh?"

"Yes it appears that way, I'm really gonna miss those two."

"Me too so who's the new kid we've been assigned to?"

"She's a little girl, but hasn't been born yet but I hear her name is Emma and she might end up getting hunted by a strange man. A wolf in sheep's clothing if you will."

"Why can't we get the easy ones? That's too hard."

"Sorry dear but don't worry it'll be a couple years before she's born in the meantime I'm going to make her a little present. A nice red jacket with a hood. Isn't that sweet?"

"Yeah totally adorable." He said sarcastically.

"Now be a sweetheart and go get me some scarlet blossoms."

"But they have spikes that burn like fire."

"I know but there the only flowers I can spin into magic red thread."

"Why do you need magic red thread?"

"So the jacket can keep her safe. After all we are going to be her godparents."

"Godparents? We did that happen?"

"Marinette is going to ask us to be Emma's godparents."

"Wait this is the kid's kid?!"

"Yes. I wanted our next assignment to involve us seeing Marinette and Adrien again and my sister Trixx using her ability to see into the future told me that about maybe five or six years from now Adrien and Marinette are going have a baby girl named Emma. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Oh boy, here we go again."

Finished! Finally! I think this was my most popular story. Well I'm glad you all liked this and I enjoyed your polite comments. Sad to say this story is over but like all fairy tales it has a happy ending. Also in case you didn't get the idea Emma will be a modern day Red Riding Hood. Thank you all for reading and I'm still looking for audio readers.
