Somethings are suppose to bounce, they are meant for that purpose. Heads are not one of those things. But, unfortunately, when you are clumsy, and you trip while running down stairs, it may happen that your head will bounce. That's what happened to Marinette. She was running late for school, so she had been running down the stairs, to her front door. She had missed one step entirely, stepping too short, and falling down the remaining stairs. Her head bounced off the ground when she landed. It took her about a minute, before she was able to get up again. Her head was already aching. But even so, she got up, and continued to run to school. Getting there about fifteen minutes after the bell had rung. She snuck into her classroom, and into her seat. Her head was pounding, and she was feeling slightly confused.

The teacher droned on, not noticing Marinette's appearance. I said droned, since Marinette couldn't really focus on what the teacher was saying. She sat straight up, although she wanted nothing more than to lay down on her desk, and sleep, whenever she looked down, her head started to hurt even more. The lunch bell rang, and everyone got up. Marinette was very careful with her walking, she was feeling a little dizzy, and was struggling to keep her balance as she was walking down the stairs. Unfortunately, her foot caught on someone's bag, and she started falling again.

She didn't hit the ground though, instead, strong arms caught her, and held her up. She was feeling very dizzy, and her vision was fuzzy around the edges, so it took her a few moments to realize who had caught her. She turned tomato red when she noticed it was Adrien. Even though she was blushing, she didn't make any attempt to move.

"Marinette, are you alright?" Adrien asked, worried for her. He righted her, making sure she was standing, but she still looked unsteady on her feet. He still kept hold of her, making sure she was still standing.

"Yeah, my head just hurts." Marinette said, feeling weak. She was afraid she was going to sway, and fall, even though she was standing still.

"Did you hit your head recently?" Adrien asked, when he noticed Marinette's dilated pupils. He had a little experience with concussions after being Chat Noir for a year. He knew the warning signs.

"Yeah, this morning," She looked into his eyes, but it was hard to focus on him, even though he was right there.

"Can you tell me what year it is?" Adrien asked, wanting to know how bad her concussion was.

"Uh… I… I can't remember…" Marinette said, scared at the fact that she couldn't remember what year it was at all.

"How badly did you hit your head."

"It bounced…."

"What?"

"My head bounced off the ground after I fell down the stairs." Marinette's injury was making it easier for her to talk to Adrien. And while talking, she was frightfully honest. She would answer any question he asked.

"You need to go see the nurse."

"I don't want to."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't like nurses, or doctors, or anything like that."

"Why?"

"I hate needles. They are very sharp, I don't like them."

"They won't use needles on you, I promise."

"You promise?"

"I do, will you trust me?"

"Of course." Marinette said, knowing there wouldn't be much of a point in arguing with him. "I'm tired." She sighed, wanting to close her eyes.

"Do you think you can walk to the infirmary?"

"No, I want to sleep. I'm tired."

"Okay, okay Princess, I'll take you." Adrien said, picking up Marinette, and carrying her bridal style. Marinette blushed again, but didn't fight it. Adrien was really worried for her. He had never seen Marinette this talkative, or acting this weird around him. Yes, she usually acted slightly weird. But she was acting really weird, compared to how she normally was. And that must have meant something about her concussion. He carried her straight to the infirmary, and the nurse took care of her. Giving her some medication, and telling her to go home and rest. Adrien was fully willing to carry her home, but he couldn't. Because an akuma arrived just at that moment. He heard the screams coming from the direction of the park.

"I'm sorry, Princess, I have to go." He told her, as they were standing right outside the infirmary.

"Please take me with you." Marinette said with a small whimper.

"I can't, Princess, but I'll be back for you as soon as possible." Adrien said, running off to transform. Marinette waited until he was out of sight, to call tikki out.

"Marinette, are you alright." Tikki asked, concerned.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm alright. We need to transform." Marinette said, as she took a wobbly step around the corner.

"I'm not so sure you should."

"Paris needs us right now. I need to." Marinette groaned. "Tikki, spots on."
