The next day, went by so fast.  Marinette felt like she barely could blink.  She was happy though as she got a call from Adrien!  He ask her to go out with him for a midnight stroll.  She smiles as she says into her cell phone,  "Sure, Adrien!  A Midnight stroll, sounds lovely."  

      "Great, Marinette!  I will see you then!"  Adrien says.  He is so happy.

     Marinette   decides to take  a nap.  She sets an alarm to wake her up around 6:30 pm.  When the alarm goes off, she gets up and starts to get ready for her walk with Adrien.  She smiles and hums to herself.  She fixes a small meal of  a cheese sandwich, a few carrot sticks, a granola bar and a few apple slices.  She pours a glass of  chocolate milk for her drink.   She enjoys her dinner and cleans the kitchen afterwards.  She sweeps  the floor. 

      Marinette checks the time.  She discovers it is only a little after seven that evening.  What will she do for 4 and a half hours?   She is not to meet up with Adrien until late that night.  She reads a book.

      4 hours and 45 minutes later...

         Marinette puts on her a light jacket, and some shoes.  She grabs up her scarf just in case she decides she needs it later.  She grabs her purse, and heads out the door.  She locks it.  She goes to the park to meet up with Adrien.  She arrives there a few minutes early.

        Adrien arrives in the park thirty minutes earlier than the rendezous with Marinette.  He is so happy she has agreed to come.  He looks for her, and smiles when he sees her arrive a few minutes later.  

      "Hey, Adrien!  I am here!"  Marinette says.

     "Yes, I can see as much Marinette!  Glad you could make it."  Adrien says.

      "Well, it is not like I have any other plans.  Besides, it is always nice to see you!"  Marinette remarks.

      "Same here!  I mean it is always good to see you as well, Marinette!" Adrien says.

      Adrien stands up.  Marinette smiles.  Adrien grabs her hand.  Marinette smiles as the two of them go on their late night walk together.  As they see the moon and stars it reminds them how great their love for one another is indeed.   Adrien turns to Marinette at some point, and sighs.  

   "Marinette, you look so lovely in the moon light!"  Adrien remarks.  

   "Thanks, Adrien!  You look rather nice as well."  Marinette says.

    " Marinette, do you love me?"  Adrien says.

     "Yes, you know I love you!"  Marinette says softly.

     "Good, because I love you too!"  Adrien says.

     Adrien hands her a box.  Marinette looks at him in surprise, but opens it anyway.  Inside she sees a lovely bracelet.   The bracelet was a golden chain  with a turquoise heart on it.   "Wow, Adrien!   Th-This must have cost a fortune!   I mean, why did you give such an  exquisite piece of jewelry to me?"  Marinette says.  

  "Does this mean you like it?"  Adrien  ask.

    "Like it, Adrien, I  love it!  Only I still do not understand why you gave it to me!"  Marinette remarks.

    "Haha, it is suppose to be customary to give nice gifts to those you love."  Adrien remarks.

     "Thank you, Adri!"  Marinette replies.

    "Oh, your most welcome, darling!"  Adrien says.

       "What is this?"  Marinette says when she sees a huge box on the bench.

      "It is nothing really, just a small something to show my deep affection and love towards you my dear."  Adrien remarks.

      Marinette opens the bigger box and sees a long, modest, turquoise dress inside.  "Wow, oh, wow!  Why the dress is just the loveliest one I have ever seen in my entire life!"  Marinette says.

     "It is only the best dress for my girl!"  Adrien says.  He is happy she accepts the bracelet and the dress.   For awhile there, he thought she might reject both presents.

       "Thank you, I shall treasure it always!"  Marinette says.

        "Oh, here I almost forgot!  This is the last gift for the night."  Adrien says as he hands her one last box.

        Marinette opens it and squeals when she sees the turquoise high heel shoes next!  "I can not believe it!  I have my very on high heels!  Wow!  Oh, and they match my bracelet and dress!  Wow!" Marinette exclaims.

     Adrien smirks.  He can tell she really likes all the gifts, but especially the shoes he special ordered from online just for her.

   "I hope they fit you!"  Adrien says.

    "Do not worry, I am sure they fit just fine!  See!"  Marinette says as she tries them on right away.

   "Sure enough they do!  How about that!" Adrien says.

   "Whoa, is that my favorite band?"  Marinette remarks.

    "I believe it is indeed! Come on let's  get closer, so we can really hear them play!"  Adrien says.

     "Okay, sounds good!"  Marinette remarks.

        Adrien and Marinette get closer to the band as they play the song, "Midnight"  by Silent Partner!  They both think it is an appropriate song for how late it is right now.  In fact, it is the perfect song.   The two smile, laugh and hum along in tune to the song.

  When the song ends, Marinette request a special song for the band to play next.  She whispers the name of it into the ear of the lead singer.  Adrien is a bit jealous as the lead singer interacts with his girlfriend.  He  tries not to show it though as he wraps a arm around her.  

     Marinette and Adrien find a nice place to sit down as they wait for the band to start up again.  They smile as they look in anticipation for the next song.

    Adrien walks Marinette home.  He smiles as he sees her get inside safely.  He waves good night to her and goes back to his place.  He thinks, all together it was a lovely evening out with his girlfriend.

    Marinette yawns.  As soon as Adrien leaves, she closes the door and locks it back.  She goes to her room and falls fast asleep.
