Author's Note:

This is an Adrienette fan fiction. I hope you enjoy it. This fan fiction was inspired by a masquerade comic that I saw a while back. I feel bad for not being able to remember who wrote it. This fan fiction is also for the ML fandom week, Wednesday and I chose couples. I hope that it works for you guys!

"Pound it!" Chat Noir and Ladybug say as they pound their fists together. The latest Akumatized victim looks around.

"Where am I?" he asks when Chat Noir and Ladybug pull him to his feet.

"You're safe now. But I would suggest going home and get some rest." Ladybug tells him. The man nods and walks away, Ladybug's Miraculous beeps at her.

"Welp, gotta go before I change back. Bug out!" she says to Chat as his Miraculous beeps at him. Ladybug runs off and watches from the roof as her partner runs off the other way. Seeing her partner leave, she smiles and rushes back to her house to detransform.

Once she's detransformed, Marinette pulls out the dress she's making for her Prom that was planned for the next day.

"I'm almost finished, Tikki." she says as she starts up her sewing machine.

"It's looking great Marinette!" Tikki says as she flies over the dress. "It looks like something you would wear too."

Marinette smiles through her blush. "Well, its time to finish it. The dance is tomorrow."

"Has anyone asked you yet?" Tikki asks as she hands Marinette a spool of red thread.

"No" Marinette answers with a sigh. "But I'm gonna go anyway."

"You go Marinette!"

The next day, Marinette walks into the school and greets Alya with a bright smile. "I finished it!" she shouts as she hugs Alya.

"Girl, that's great! I have good news too. Guess what!"

"What"

"Nino asked me to Prom!"

Marinette squeals and hugs Alya again.

"I'm so happy for you!" she says.

"Did we miss something?" says a voice behind her.

Marinette whirls around and sees Adrien and Nino walking up behind her.

"N-no, I mean, nothing b-big." Marinette laughs shyly.

"Oh, I just told her that Nino and I are going to Prom together. Have you asked anyone to Prom yet, Adrien." Alya pries.

"No, but I have my eyes on a girl." Adrien says mysteriously.

Nino and Alya gasp.

"Who?" they say in unison.

"You'll find out after lunch" he says.

During lunch, Marinette starts to feel queasy. She starts to take a bite out of an apple, then thinks better of it. Then, she feels a hand on her shoulder. She turns around to find green eyes looking straight into hers.

"Mari" Adrien says to her. "Can I talk to you for a sec?"

"S-sure" she stutters as she follows him to the courtyard. Once there, he turns to her and puts his hand on the back of his neck and takes a deep breathe.

"Mari, will you go to Prom with me?"

Marinette nearly falls down. She thought he was going to ask another girl, not her.

"Y-yeah, that sounds like fun" she says to him.

"Great, what color is your dress?"

"Red and black."

"Great, I'll pick you up at 7."

"Ok"

Adrien walks away with a smile on his face and Mari returns to her table and Alya in a daze.

"What happened, girl? Why do you look like that?"

Marinette told her.

"WHAT! This is great! You guys can finally start dating!" she says when Marinette finishes.

Marinette just rolls her eyes and goes to dump her tray. Then she walks to class with Aya.

When school is over, Marinette rushes home, tells her mom Adrien is going to come pick her up at 7, then rushes up to her room.

"Tikki, I'm freaking out!" she says to her kwami as she gets her dress and shoes out and starts putting them on.

"Don't freak out, Marinette. This will go well, you'll see."

"Thanks Tikki"

Marinette finishes putting on her dress and starts working her hair, then she finishes her look with a little purse she made so that Tikki could go with her. By then it was 6:50. Marinette paces her room until she hears her mother calling her.

"Well, that means Adrien is here." she takes one last look at herself, then walks downstairs to find her mom and Adrien talking about the bakery.

"Hi Mari, you look great!" Adrien says when he sees the dress she's wearing. It was a simple, flowey dress with red as half of the dress and black as the other with spots decorating the base of the skirt. The colors halving the dress in a diagonal line.

"Thanks" she says as she eyes Adrien's black tux and red and black tie.

Adrien holds out his arm. "Shall we go?"

Marinette takes his arm and nods. Then waves goodbye to her parents. Once they're at the school, they spot Alya and Nino standing out on the steps, obviously waiting on them. As soon as Alya sees Marinette, she gasps in awe.

"Mari, is that the dress you made?"

Marinette blushes and nods.

"Girl that looks amazing…you look amazing!"

Marinette just smiles at her friend. "Shall we head in?" she asks.

"Pictures first!" Alya demands, holding up her phone.

Alya hands her phone to Marinette who takes a few pictures of Alya and Nino, then Alya takes the phone and does the same for Marinette and Adrien. Then, seeing Nathaniel about to walk up to the school, calls him over and hands him the phone to take a group picture.

"Ready?" says Nathaniel as the group gets together. "Say Cheese!"

"Cheese" says the group and Nathaniel takes the picture, then returns to Julika who is waiting for him at the top of the stairs.

"Can we go in now?" Marinette asks as Alya puts her phone in her purse.

"Of course" she says, already pulling Nino by the hand up the steps and into the school. Inside, the dance has already begun and they dance the night away. Nino plays a few tracks he made, then a slow dance comes on and Marinette and Adrien dance together. That's when the truth comes out.

"Princess." Adrien begins. "Will you go out with me?

Marinette nearly trips over her own feet and looks at him.

"Yes!" she says as loudly as she dares.

"Great!" he says. "Then there is no reason why I couldn't do this."

Adrien leans in and kisses her with passion. A little ways away, Chloe and Sabrina are watching.

"Ridiculous! Utterly Ridiculous!" she says as she watches Adrien kiss her rival. "That should've been me!" she whines. Sabrina just holds her as she watches.

When the evening is over, Adrien walks Marinette to her house and kisses her goodnight, then literally skips all the way home. Some love and happiness in his heart at last.
