I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU, JiminAgreste0906, FOR THE SHIP NAME!

When Adrien and I finally reached the bakery, I handed the boy some money for the baked goods and went upstairs to meet Marinette. She gave me the pattern for Nino and Alya's outfits, and giving me directions.

"Since they are going together, I think it should be the same person to make both their outfits. Let me know if you need any help. I already have a plan for you and Adrien, but I just need you both to trust me." Marinette say on her chair, spinning around. "So, where is-"

"Hey, Mari!" He handed me a small bag, and smiled at his friend. I let her stutter while talking to Adrien as I smiled. Eventually, after a few minutes, I turned to them. Marinette was blushing and Adrien was just trying to understand what she was saying.

"Marinette?"

She looked at her fingers that she was tapping together. "Yes?"

"Give him something to do." She nodded, and with her eyes shut and her mouth moving as fast as sound, she was able to get a normal-ish sentence.

"Make Nathaniel and Sam's outfit!" She pushed the fabric his way, and he looked at the designs. He read something on the paper, and went to sit on Marinette's bed, which was higher than where Marinette and I were.

"I told you, I'm good! I don't want you t-"

I could hear Adrien's voice from above, "Trust me, you'll love it!"

Marinette blushed, she had the most obvious crush on him, it made me sick. She shook her head and looked at me. "You will, and I will ignore your protests! Adrien, take me dress measurements for her! Ah!" She scrambled and hid under her desk. I chuckled, and went back to matching the pattern pieces with the fabric, pinning the two together. She finally gave up, and decided to take my measurements herself, writing down the numbers and handing it to Adrien.

Finally, we were all working on our outfits, Marinette was working on Adrien's, I was working on Alya's, and Adrien was working on mine in a place where I couldn't see him. Eventually the silence just became awkward, so I decided to bring up a conversation starter.

"So, Marinette. Is there anyone you want to ask to the dance?" She just looked at me, her face bright red.

"W-what? Me? No! I, I mean, sure! B-but, no! Maybe!" Adrien looked down at us, literally, with a pair of scissors in one hand and black fabric in the other. I hated not knowing what they had, and they were just rubbing it in my face. Ah, the glories of friends.

"Who is it?" The boy asked. I looked to Marinette, who was staring at the fabric for Adrien's suit.

"She, can't tell you. Because, then, you'll just tell him!" I covered for her. She wasn't ready to ask him, and she would when she was ready. Also when I made her. She nodded violently, and began sewing some pieces of fabric together. I felt something move in my shirt pocket, and I was hit with the sudden thought: Daizzy!

"I, uh, where is the bathroom?" Marinette pointed, then went back to sewing. I ran to the door she had pointed towards and shut the door behind me. I let the little Kwami out of my shirt, and she just sat on the bathroom faucet, looking sassy.

"So, you think you can just keep me hostage in your shirt all day until you need me? I am disrespected!" He was so dramatic for such a small creature. I handed him the small bag of cheese.

"I'm sorry, Daizzy. I forgot. I got a bit distracted."

"Yeah, by Adrien!" He blew me a raspberry and flew around my head while I tried to give him a stern look.

"Shut it. I'm trying to get Marinette to ask him to the dance!"

"Sure. Who are you going to ask?" He sat on my shoulder as I looked at my reflection. My hair was in a messy ponytail, and my brown eyes were tired.

"I am under no obligation to answer said question," He giggled, and flew back into my pocket. I buttoned it up before walking back to Marinette's room. I checked my phone, it was only 4:30. We sat in silence until I had finally finished cutting everything for both Nino and Alya's outfits. I put it in a pile next to Marinette, who was still working on Adrien's outfit.

"That looks really good," I pointed to her drawing of the dress for her. It was inspired by the one and only, city of Paris.

"Thanks. It was just a quick sketch."

"Alright, I'm all done," Adrien began walking down the steps so he was just a head taller than Marinette, and about the same height as me. He handed the fabric to Mari, and adapted a curious expression, and I remembered a small detail on Alya's dress I wanted to know more about.

"How are you going to get Ladybug to sign the dress?"

"Oh, I, I have, uh, connections!" Marinette concluded. I seemed content with that answer, or, at least I pretended I was. Maybe I could ask Ladybug tonight...

"Hey, you. In the chair," I spoke to Marinette. I pulled her and Adrien with me as I walked towards the couch. "You both sit here and relax, enjoy a conversation, and I will sew the fabric." I shoved them into a sitting position on the pink couch. As I walked to the chair, I spoke confidently to the two, "Don't worry, I took lessons when I was younger. I still have, two hours until I have to go." I sat down at the sewing machine and blocked out the awkward conversation between the two. I finally finished Adrien's outfit a bit after my alarm on my phone blew up, signaling it was 7:25.

Adrien offered to walk me home, and I gladly accepted, hoping to either talk to him about Mari, or ask him about my outfit.

We walked out, and while I continued walking, the boy paused before stepping out of the building. I turned, and he looked nervous, and I put a hand on my hip. "Come on! Don't tell me Adrien Agreste is afraid of a little rain!" His face bunched up when I said his name, and stood in the doorway.

"It is pouring, you psycho!" I laughed, and dragged him into the rain with me. While he was shivering, I decided to ask him some questions during the twenty minute walk to my house.

"So, what would you say if a girl asked you to the dance?" I watched his reaction, so far, he was just walking normally.

"I guess it would depend on who it was."

"What if it," I picked up my pace so I was walking in front of him, backwards. "What if it was one of your best friends?" I added emphasis on "best friends". I knew he only saw Mari as a friend, but he only said that. The truth usually tends to remain unvocailized.

"I feel like you're talking about someone specific." His cheeks turned one or two shades darker, and he looked to the ground. I looked towards the sky, watching the rain pour into my eyes. Of course, I bumped into a person. I apologized to the man, and walked next to Adrien who was shivering.

"Perhaps, but she is probably to nervous to ask. And it is none of my business, making decisions for her." His gaze glanced towards me for a second, but was stolen by a large boom! from the distance. He straightened his back, and we both began running to my apartment for shelter.

My mom was taking a shower, so I just pushed the boy into my room, still full of boxes of stuff. "You haven't unpacked yet?" I realized I had shut the door, locking me in my room with Adrien. I couldn't tranform. He seemed confused, then I watched as his eyes widened, remembering something. He tried to play it off by rubbing his neck and sitting on my bed.

"I, should go find you some towels!" I ran out the door, and as I ran, I realized there was a window in my bedroom. Great. So I have used my special power for no reason. Adrien smiled with his eyes shut.

"Alright, I'll be here! Take your time! Ha. Ha." I ran into the bathroom to let my mom know I was home, and ran out the door into the hallway. I let Daizzy out of my pocket as I ran down the stairs. I crouched in a bush and said three magical words.

"Daizzy, pig out!" I watched as Daizzy waved to me, getting sucked into my bracelet on my ankle. I could feel my clothes changing, and I felt a change in my body and my mind. I hopped out of the bush and ran into Cat Noir who seemed to be coming from the side. I tied my lasso to my waist and flung the other end to a pole, and caught the cat by his waist. He was heavy, but I could manage.

"Thanks, Porkchop!" We were close enough to the ground that I was able to drop him without actually hurting him. The rain had just gotten better, but the cat's hair was wet, his ears soggy.

"Oops!" I said sarcastically. My lasso snapped off my waist, and I grabbed the end as I jumped down, causing it to snap back to my waist. "Why 'Porkchop' What about 'Lassie'?

I helped the grinning boy stand up. "No, it has already been decided," he stood in a superhero stance. "I, the adored Cat Noir, has the please to fight beside Bugaboo, my lady, and Prokchop, my lassie," he winked at me, and I used my lasso to bring his legs towards me.

"Admit it, black cat. I knock you off your feet more often than Ladybug!" I swung towards the explosion with a smile, well, at least until I ran into a large canon ball. The best part, I tripped on the canon ball, and rolled into Ladybug's feet, so she ended up slipping and falling off the canon ball with me. I chose to make the best of it, and I slid down the oversized canon ball with my hands in the air. When I saw the ground approaching me, I did a fancy flip, landing on my feet.

Ladybug was waiting for me with Cat Noir. "So, what do you think did, this?" Ladybug asked. I returned to my serious nature, and began hiking up the ball.

"I'm not sure, Mi'ladybug. What are you doing, Cochon?" I ignored their whispers, and focused on the small jagged marks on the metal. Once I had reached the top, I looked down the way Ladybug and I had come down. It was a different color than the majority of it. There were many spots like that, washed away by the rain that had decreased to but a mild sprinkle. I knelt down and wiped the large object, removing my hand to see the dark color had transferred to my pink body, revealing a bright blue design. I stood up and looked around, searching for-A fire truck! I hopped down and threw the hose to Ladybug.

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!" Cat Noir came and stood by the fire truck.

"What's going on?" The cat asked.

"Ladybug, come over here!" I brought her closer to the cat, still holding the hose. I had taken the mouth of the hose, and was dangling off a nearby building that was right next to the ball.

"Black cat! Turn the water on!" He obeyed, and I could see the water begin from the vehicle, spreading through the tube. I held the hose with one hand, my thumb blocking just part of it, and my other hand gripping my lasso as tightly as I could. The water threw itself out of the tube, with the help of my thumb, the water fanned out, spreading to clear the entire ball of the dust. "Stop!" I yelled. The water turned off, and both Ladybug and I dropped the heavy tube.

"Good god," Ladybug exclaimed when I anded. We were all staring at the large marble, that had made the dent in the ground, causing this explosion. Cat Noir decided to voice his thoughts, which was never a good idea.

"I think we have an Akuma to deal with." I gave him a look like, no dip, Sherlock. I remembered Adrien was still at my house, waiting for me to bring him a towel. If I wasn't there, he would go out of my room, and my mom would see him! My mom would force him to go home, which would alert Gabriel. If he knew I was around Adrien, I don't even know what would happen.

"Cochon?"

What could he do? Ruin my career?

"Cochon!"

Jokes on him, I didn't even have that large of interest in fashion.

"Do you think she is alright?"

I shouldn't let this old, rich, white, guy control my life.

"Wha-" I felt something hit the back of my legs, and I fell into Cat Noir's arms. I quickly scrambled to my feet, my face red from embarrassment.

I looked into his green eyes that were like a cat's, and I remembered Adrien had green eyes. "I-I, I have to go! My Miraculous is-"

He held up my hand, and looked fearful. "Where? Did Hawk Moth-"

I backed away from his grasp. "No, it's on my ankle. Please, don't grab this gal again without permission. I'll come back later, alright, Ladybug? I have a thing, that I-"

"Just go, Cochon!" I nodded and made my way back to the apartment.

"Pig in!" I whispered. I ran into the room, and grabbed a towel from the closet. My mom was in her bedroom, and I was just praying Adrien was still here, unnoticed by my mother. I slowly opened the door, and realized he was gone. My mind immediately went into panic mode. I ran to the kitchen, unknowing what else I should do. I heard a sound in my bedroom, and I ran, seeing Adrien laying on his back on the floor. I helped him up and shut the door.

"Sorry, I thought you were your mother, so I-" I punched him in the arm. "Woah, you punch hard,".

"Jerk. Let's get you home before my mom gets out of her bedroom."

He followed me quietly into the hallway, and I calmly walked him to the main door. I handed him one of my extra umbrellas, it was grey, old. It still worked. He was wearing the towel like a blanket covering a young child. Adrien tried to open the umbrella before he went outside, but I wouldn't let him. He finally gave up and stepped outside, waving to me through the sprinkling rain. His green eyes, full of kindness and eagerness to leave. I shut the door, and ran back up the stair for the last time.

"I'm gonna kill you," I grumbled to the staircase in English. When I walked inside, I went to my room and pulled out my phone. I had already finished my homework earlier during the day, so I was free to set up my evil plans.

I set up a group chat with Nino and Alya.

Note from the Author:

Hello! So, yeah. Things are going to happen, but I have a plan that you might not exactly like, but I can give a spoiler if wanted. May I please just say, I hate typing the way I am for the texting? It kills me! Drills a hole in my inner soul! As always, if there is something you want to happen within this story, don't hesitate to let me know.

Additionally, I know this is "old news", but may we please take a moment to acknowledge the Notre Dam fire in Paris? It started I believe, April 16. I don't have that much information, but I just wanted to let you think about what the building represented. It wasn't just the fact that it was a Catholic church burned down the week of Easter, but it was such a large landmark and tourist sight. There are priceless artifacts that were once placed in the 500+ year-old building.
