"Mari?"
"Yeah, Adri?" replied Marinette.
"I-If we ever get lost...We'll find each other again, right?" asked the green-eyed boy.
"Yup! A-And if we get separated one day, you won't forget me, right?"
"I'd never forget you, Mari!" replied Adrien.
"Pinky promise?" Mari asked as she stuck out her pinky promise.
"Pinky promise."
"Kitty...I-I need to tell you something..." Marinete said.
"Hm?"
"Mama and Papa said that...W-We're moving to the other side of Paris..."
"Where's that?" Adrien asked.
"I-I don't know...But I don't think we can see each other and play anymore..."
"I'll miss you, My Lady..." said Adrien as the two 5-year olds hugged each other tightly.
"I'll miss you too, Kitty."
Marinette awakened from her sleep as she realised that tears were rolling down her cheeks. She had dreamt of another memory she had with her childhood friend, Adri. She couldn't remember his full name, or even his surname as they were just 3 when they met. She only called him 'Kitty' or 'Adri' and she couldn't possibly find one name from those two nicknames.
She often wondered how he looked like then. Would he be cute? Handsome? She always laughed at that thought. She definitely kept her promise, remembering him so fondly. She pondered if he had kept his end of the promise. She reminisced how she used to look at those emerald green orbs, and fluffy blonde hair. She really hoped to see him again one day.
They first met under a cherry blossom tree at the playground of her hometown. Mari had fallen down at a place where her parents couldn't see her, and Adri found her. Pittle did the both of them know that Adri was the new neighbour who had just moved in next door. They often went to each other's house, and often became every day. They became best friends as their bond grew stronger by day. And she soon develped feelings for him as soon as she knew what 'like' and 'love' were. Although, two boys she knew reminded her a lot of the boy she once knew. Adrien Agreste and Cat Noir. And she even fell in love with the blonde haired model.
Right, we're taking the book to Master Fu tomorrow...
She wiped away the tears and looked at Tikki as she pulled back her blankets and returned to sleep.
"Kitty...I'll miss you..." Mari said as she hugged her best friend for the last time, tears brimmed his eyes as he saw the beautiful bluebell eyes glistening in the light.
"W-When we find each other again, you can give this back to me..." Mari said as she handed Adrien a box, before turning and running to her parents' car. Adrien looked down at the box he held tightly in his hands.
Lifting open the lid of the box, inside was a blue scarf which the 7 year-olds had made together. He, himself had the same one in his closet which he kept so fondly. There was also a note...
Mama and Papa says that fate brings people back together again. Even if we may part, you will still be in my heart forever, Kitty! I hope your promise. Remember, don't be too nice. Being nice doesn't help sometimes. It just makes you a pushover. I hope you remember our promise. Please don't forget me, Kitty!
-Bugaboo, Mari.
Tears rolled down the boy's cheeks as he read the note.
"Actually, Adri...We're planning to move there, too, in a few years. So you just have to wait a little longer to see Mari again, okay?" said Emma, Adrien's mother.
Adrien's eyes flew open as he awakened. Adrien soon realised that tears were rolling down his cheeks, just like he was in the dream. Although he was now living in the Agreste Mansion in the town where Mari lived now, and he now went to school. He couldn't recognise Mari as there were already two possible people who could be Mari.
He always wondered what Mari would look like by then. Pretty? Cute? He was very sure that she'd be very cute. He missed her a lot. However, he had been cooped up in that room too big for his liking after his mother left him and his father for America. His father had changed a lot. He stayed in his office twenty-four seven and worked all day. Adrien hated his mother for that. Leaving them so suddenly and just leaving a note, saying that she'd only come back when Gabriel snapped back to his senses.
Adrien had no friends, other than Chloe, if she were even one before he entered school. Chloe was always annoying, much to his and Mari's chagrin each tume they met. Chloe and Mari were best friends at that time, but after her father became the mayor, she became a major brat. Just the thought of that made him remember Mari's advice.
Don't be too nice, being nice doesn't help sometimes, and it makes you look like a weak pushover.
He missed Mari so much. He definitely fulfilled the promise of never forgetting her. And everyday he wished so much that he'd see her again. He missed those bluebell eyes and dark hair which were blue as the beautiful night sky. However, two girls reminded him a lot of Mari. Ladybug and Marinette. He was so glad to be let back to school and that he found possible people who could be Mari. However, despite his feelings for the girl he once knew, he also fell in love with Ladybug. He went back to sleep as he saw the clock and his Kwami snoring away on his pillow. Adrien also knew that he'd die the next day as his father would realise that the book of heroes was gone.
'4 am' the clock read, he knew that he'd get an additional dressing down from his dad if he ever got late for school.
