"Marinette, it sure is quiet here at the beach." Alya remarks.

     "Is sure is Alya,"  Marinette remarks. She blushes as she takes a look at Adrien in his swim trunks.

       Marinette's POV:
      Adrien looks so hot in those black trunks with the green paw prints all over them like this.  He looks rather well, sexy.  

      Marinette immediately blushes. She thinks, huh, Adrien is a friend, nothing more.

   Adrien grins when he sees the girls. He does a double-take when he notices the cutie red two-piece swimsuit with black spots on Marinette wears. He blushes because he can not help, but think she looks so cute no gorgeous in it. He might just pass out from how great she looks.

    He shakes his head, calm down, he tries to remind himself, she is a friend.

"Hi, Alya!  Hi, Marinette!  Hi, Adrien!"  Nino says as he steps out of the men's changing room in his bright red swimming trunks.

    He gets a better look at Alya in her orange tanki swimsuit with white stripes across it. He thinks she looks like a  tiger, a  cute one for that matter.  He shakes his head in confusion and decides it is just the sunlight getting to him.

    "Hi, Nino!  Nice fire engine red trunks there," Alya says in a flirty manner.

     "How are you, ladies?"  Nino asks.

   "We are great Nino!" Alya says.

   "Yes, we are fine," Marinette says.

    "You can say that again, Mari," Adrien says. He blushes when the others laugh and realizes he accidentally said this out loud.

    "I meant to say, the swimsuit looks cute on you!" Adrien says and continues to blush.

   "Thanks, Adrien you look dashing in yours," Marinette says. She blushes too.

  Alya laughs.  She hears Nino ask,  "Alya what is that over there?"

   Nino points toward the shore not far from where they both stand.  Alya shrugs her shoulders.

   "Come on girls!"  Adrien says.

   "I will race you to see what Nino's seen,"  Adrien calls out.

   "Sure, ok, Adrien!" Marinette says.

   Adrien, Alya, and Marinette reach the spot at the same time.  Marinette gasps in horror.

    "Marinette, what is it?"  Adrien asks.

   "Look right there," Marinette says as her voice trembles.

  Adrien and Marinette see a bloody mess. There is a seashell with blood all over it, a book, a knife, and two dead bodies all covered in blood.  It looks like someone was killed here.

  Marinette sobs, and asks, "A-Adrien, are they dead?"

"Marinette, I am not sure," Adrien says.

   "Whoa, dude and dudettes!" Nino says when he catches up to them. His jaw drops at the gorry scene.

    "It seems we have a bit of a mystery on our hands here,"  Nino says.

"A-Adrien, I am so afraid," Marinette remarks out of fear.

   "Do not worry, I will protect you," Adrien says.
