Marinette arrived to the party quite early to help with unloading the cake. The cake was one of their best works. It wasn't white. No, that color was saved for the wedding.

Tikki had suggested that she tell Adrien that she wanted to go with Felix instead but Marinette was so busy she didn't have time. She had told ChatNoir she would be attending this party. She was just causing herself more drama to deal with.

She knew that ChatNoir would give anything to know who she was. To know the girl behind the mask. She felt guilty that she didn't give him a chance. Marinette knew if she saw'll him here and glazed into his emerald eyes; she be his forever.

She loved him. As a friend of course but the romantic tension was obvious to the both of them. The smug stray was destined to be hers.

'Screw destiny. If I want to be with an Agreste, then I'll be with an Agreste.'

She confidently recited in her head. She wasn't sure which Agreste tho. She liked Adrien that was clear but Felix was growing on her.

As she was walking she noticed Nathanael was there. He was either a extremely early arrival or he knew the Agrestes somehow. That didn't seem at all likely since Adrien and Nathanael never spoke to each other.

"Nathanael, you're here early."

His eyes studied Marinette who had her hair down. She had a cute, pink, small strapped dress dotted with white spots all over. She had white flats instead of her usual pink ones. She was simply adorable. It was a certainty that she would be the girl every boy wanted to dance with.

"I'm here with my mom, she's a friend of the family."

He replied as she studied him for about as long as he studied her. He had a bright orange dress shirt on that would be a fashion no no if it wasn't on him. He had the usual black suit jacket and pants. He adored his look with a black bow tie that was slightly crooked.

This bothered Marinette as the fashion designer she strived to be a crooked bow tie was just a nuisance. So, without saying a word she fixed the bow tie to the correct position.

"Sorry, it was crooked."

She said not understanding why her heart was picking up speed. She thought she had eliminated Nathanael from her list.

"Don't apologize."
He quickly stated.

"So? Did you bring a date?"
She asked.

"Sadly no. I wanted to ask you but since Alya told me Adrien asked you. And I really couldn't picture going to such a event with anybody but you."

"I'm so sorry. If I knew I would of said yes."

She then realized she didn't technically say yes. It was Alya who agreed to it not her.

"You would of?"

He sounded shocked of course they shared their secrets but he didn't except her to say yes out of curtsy.

"Your a nice guy."

"But Adrien is also a nice guy ."

"Yes, but he doesn't get me like you do."

"Maybe, I'll just steal a dance from you later."

He added. He felt as confident in this moment as he was being FireFox. He didn't need Slyy to do it.
