"Adrien, I am sorry about your father. I tried to tell you," Marinette says.

     "Yes, I know," Adrien replies sadly and sighs.

     "I love you," Marinette says.

     "I love the serious, model Adrien part of you, and the confident, silly cat side as well," Marinette says.

     "Did you mean it earlier when you told Hawkmoth you love me?" Marinette asks.

    "Yes, my Marinette princess, and m'lady! I meant every word of it," Adrien says.

     Adrien leans over and kisses Marinette's cheek. She squeals a little and blushes.

"Does this mean you will go out with me?  Will you be my girlfriend?" Adrien asks.

"Yes, silly kitty!  I will go out with you and be happy to be your girlfriend," Marinette answers.

"Yes, my wish came true!" Adrien says.

  "Christmas wish, what was it darling?" Marinette asks.

"Darling, now I like the sound of that sweetheart," Adrien says.

"I wished you would be with me and I would be with you," Adrien confesses.

"Well, then, in that case, my Christmas wish came true as well," Marinette says. She made a wish for the same thing as Adrien.

   "Yes, I can kiss you now!" Adrien says with confidence.

"You will have to catch me first, Agreste!" Marinette says as she takes off running.

  Adrien chases after her, and she trips, next to a  bench in the park. He smiles, as he places his arms around her, and says  "Ha, caught you!"

 "No, you did not Adrien!" Marinette says. She takes off again.

"Did too,"  Adrien says, as he pulls her close, stares into her eyes, and kisses her this time.

    Marinette closes her eyes as she kisses him back. She also puts her arms around his neck again.
