Chapter 1: The Party Begins

Marinette woke up with a smile on her face. "Good morning, Tikki!" The little red kwami replied,"Good morning, Marinette! Happy Birthday!" "Thanks

Tikki!" She said as she got herself ready for the start of a really great day.

SOME TIME LATER:

Adrien walked into the classroom and was surprised to see that

everyone was hidden behind their desks. There were streamers decorated around the classroom, and letters spelling out 'Happy Birthday' were

taped on the wall. In the far corner, a table was loaded with snacks and a giant cake, with . He looked around in wonder until he caught Alya's eye,

and she winked at him and pointed to the empty seat next to her. It didn't take a genius to understand what she meant. Adrien smiled and closed

the door behind him, walking over to his own desk and crouching below it. A few minutes later, the birthday girl arrived, and everyone jumped up,

exclaiming "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!' to a very shocked Marinette. But once the initial surprise was over, she relaxed and enjoyed the party. Halfway

through, she got an idea. "Hey Alya, want to come to my place for a sleepover tonight? Alya grinned and said "Of course! I'll ask Nino if he wants to

come too. Maybe someone else would like to come?" She pointed over at the blonde boy, who sat at his desk, eating a large slice of cake. Marinette

gulped. She was still too shy to form coherent sentences around him, and she turned red as a tomato whenever he complimented her. But

nevertheless, it was her birthday. What the heck? The least that would happen is that he would say no and things would go back to normal. She

strode over to him, feeling much less confident than she looked. "A-Adrien?". He looked up, and she temporarily got lost in those dreamy eyes of his.

"Well, you see...the thing is...I,um...would you like to come to my sleepover today?" The minute she said it, she realized how dumb it sounded. This

was Adrien of all people. He probably didn't have time to hang out with someone like her. He probably had more important things to do, like

photoshoots, or modeling, or..."Sure. Sounds like fun. I don't have any plans for tonight anyway. I'll ask my father. See you until then." He smiled

and Marinette thought she had died and gone to heaven. After a few seconds of intense staring, Adrien got a little worried. "Um, Marinette? Hello?"

He waved a hand in front of her face. She snapped back to reality."FINE!" she said all too loudly. "I mean, fine. Yeah, that's totally cool. You see then

tonight! I-I mean, see you tonight then!" She gave a goofy grin before turning around and proceeding to get the heck out of there before

embarrassing herself further. Luckily, she ran into Alya. "Nino said he's fine with it. What about angel boy over there?" she said, giving Mari her

signature smirk. "He said he'll ask his father to come." Alya brightened up. "Well, that's a step. It won't be long until I see my favorite couple get

together!" At this, Marinette turned even brighter than her Ladybug suit, if that was even possible. But before she could open her mouth to protest,

the bell rang, dismissing them all for the day. Marinette closed her mouth, knowing that she would get Alya back later for saying that. She packed

up her things and exited the classroom, knowing that tonight was going to be a very fun night. Very fun indeed.
