     The doors have not opened yet.   Adrien climbs on Marinette's shoulders, then pushes hard on the ceiling and it opens up.  He looks around him and gets out. 

    "Adrien, what do you see up there?" Marinette asks.

     "There is a tunnel that leads to something," Adrien says.

      Adrien sits down on his knees and reaches down.  "Here, grab my arm, Marinette." He says.

    "Ok,"  Marinette says. She reaches up and holds onto his arm while he holds her wrist.  Adrien pulls her out of the elevator to the area above it.  

    There a sign outside the elevator that says: Notice: Out of  Order.

     Miss Stone says, "Well, Miss Lucy it looks like it is just us now."

        Marinette turns her flashlight app back on to see better.  

   "The phone light is nice and bright," Adrien says.

     "Adrien lets go this way," Marinette says.

    "Sure, whatever you say, Marinette," Adrien says.

        Adrien follows her through the elevator shaft. The two climb a few stairs and end up on the fourth floor outside a door.  Marinette pushes a button.  Nothing happens.  Adrien pulls a hairpin out of her hair and picks the lock. He opens the door.  They see another set of stairs, which they climb and end up on the seventh floor.

    "Be right back," Marinette says. She sees the bathroom and goes inside.  She washes her face, combs her hair, and refixes it. She also use the facilities there,  washes her hands, and comes back out.

     Adrien comes out of the other bathroom at the same time she exits the one she was in at the moment.  He is happy to see her.  

    "How will Miss Stone get out ?"  Adrien asks.

     "Oh, I have no idea," Marinette says.

      Marinette looks around and sees a crowbar. She picks it up and uses it to pry open the doors to the elevator.  

     Adrien watches her in amazement.  "Marinette, you are so smart," Adrien says.

     "Thanks, Adrien," Marinette says.   

       Adrien helps her and together the doors pop open at last.  He thinks, she still owes me an answer to my question.

      Marinette wonders what is on Adrien's mind. 
    

     "It is about time you two, got us out of here."  Miss Stone says as she exits the elevator with her dog.

      "Miss Lucy, what is the matter with you?"  Miss Stone says as she tries to clean up the mess.

   "Here, let me help you," Marinette says. She helps clean the mess up and Miss Stone gives her dog some water from the bottle in her purse. 

   "Thank, you!"  Miss Stone says.     

   "I was happy to be of assistance," Marinette says.

   "I will be going now," Marinette says to Adrien.

    "Wait, Marinette you still owe me an answer,"  Adrien says.

     "Look, Adrien, you are a nice guy, but I am still not ready to date again," Marinette says.

    "Ok, see you around then," Adrien says.  He sighs.

    "Yeah, see you around!  bye!"  Marinette says. She walks away.

         Adrien watches her go and thinks, she is the girl I love.  He walks home with the knowledge that he can keep in touch with her since he has her phone number. Perhaps, one day she will change her mind, which is the main thought on his mind right now.  He calls his boss and apologizes for missing so much work.

    the end...
