Marinette was waiting to head down to earth. She was standing on a cloud. Most people referred to it as the waiting room. A place between Heaven and Earth. Everyone waited here for their turn to live. She hadn't been there long. She had just finished designing herself moments ago. Marinette could see some other people on distant clouds. They were watching the world below. Several of them were cheering for someone on earth. They looked like they were having fun. Maybe she should go join them.
Marinette began walking towards the group.
"GAH!" She yelped, falling to her hands and knees. She hadn't gotten very far at all.
"What the?" The voice of a young man sounded behind Marinette. "Oh! Are you okay my Lady?"
"Ug… I'm alright." She moaned rolling over onto her bum. Nothing hurt but, she was definitely not used to how clumsy she was. No doubt she would get used to falling down on earth. She didn't look forward to that.
Marinette looked over to see a blonde boy, about her age, staring back at her with concern. He was on the cloud floor too. Marinette cast him a sweet smile.
"Just getting used to my new body." She stretched her arms and legs to prove her point. "See? I'm just fine."
The boy let out a sigh of relief. "Thank heavens. I was worried for a sec. I would never forgive myself if you got hurt, uh... miss?" The boy paused, realizing he didn't know her name.
Marinette smiled and offered him her hand. "Marinette, My name is Marinette."
"A name fit for a princess." Adrien took Marinette's hand, but instead of shaking it he kissed it.
Marinette's breath hitched. That was not what she was expecting.
"My name is Adrien." He continued, pulling Marinette from her thoughts.
Marinette giggled, letting her hands fall to her lap. She shifted to sit Indian style. A soft blush dusted her cheeks.
"A pl... pleasure to meet you, Adrien."
"On the contrary, the pleasure is all mine." He did a half-bow from his place on the floor. He looked up to see the girl's face had grown at least 3 shades redder.
"Are you sure you're okay? You look kinda'... pink."
"Wha?" Marinette shook her head. "Oh no, I'm flight... I mean Fine!" Marinette stumbled awkwardly. She needed to distract herself. Preferably before she completely melted into a puddle of goo. She quickly began looking around them inspecting where she had landed. They were alone sitting on the floor of clouds basking in the sun.
"What in the world did I trip on?" She said to herself.
The blonde tentatively raised his hand, casting the girl a bashful smile in response to her question. "That was me."
"You? I tripped on you?" Marinette stared, eyes wide with disbelief. Just how clumsy did she make herself? No one said ANYTHING about tripping over other people! Let alone people as handsome and fan-girl worthy as the boy in front of her now. Seriously! Was this a joke? Had she doomed herself to a life of falling for pretty boys, LITERALLY?
"I-AM-SO-SORRY!" Marinette rushed the words out faster than Adrien thought humanly possible. "I MADE MYSELF THE BIGGEST KLUTZ AND I WASN'T LOOKING WHERE I WAS GOING AND I..."
Adrien cut Marinette off mid-ramble.
"It's okay, it's okay!" He chuckled, holding up his hands for her to stop. "It wasn't your fault. I was resting in the sun and the next thing I knew something had kicked my legs. I looked up to see you swimming in the clouds." He gestured to where she sat now. "I shouldn't have been in the middle of the floor in the first place."
"I see…. I find it hard to believe I was swimming, though." Marinette grumbled an eyebrow raised skeptically.
"You were. You looked like a… meow-maid."
Marinette's brain stopped working. There was no way she heard right. "Did you just use a cat pun?"
"Meow-by." His smirk said it all. He was doing this on purpose.
"So let me get this straight. You," she gestured to the blonde pointedly, "were taking a cat nap in the sun when I tripped over you, and now you're making cat puns?"
"I can't help it, my Lady. It's one of my traits to be cat-like and another to be obsessed with puns."
"I can't believe that's a thing!" The girl scoffed.
"Don't be so Ap-paw-lled by it." Adrien purred.
"I'm not Ap…. You didn't?"
The blonde's smirk grew.
"You did! I can't believe this!" Marinette through her hands in the air and laughed.
"Believe what? I'm just trying to be Paw-lite."
"You're awful."
"Don't you mean… Clawful?"
"GAH! How do you go from being a dashing prince to this?" Marinette gestured to the boy before her as she spoke. "A Cat-astrophic pun dork."
Adrien gasped!
"My Lady!" Adrien was at her side in an instant. He was holding both her hands in his. He was giving her the most mischievous smirk she had ever seen. She froze. She could feel her blood pulsing through her ears. "Did YOU just use a cat pun?" He wiggled his eyebrows up and down.
"I… uh.." Marinette stumbled over her own thoughts. There was no way! She wouldn't…. But she did. She hadn't even realized it till Adrien had pointed it out.
"What's the matter, Mari? Cat got your tongue?" Adrien cocked an eyebrow flirtatiously.
"Pfft, no way!" She quickly pushed the boy away shaking her head. "I can't believe you've infected me!"
"Moi?" Chat held his hand dramatically to his chest. "I wouldn't dream of such a thing my lady."
Marinette cocked an eyebrow at him skeptically. "I don't know if I believe that."
Adrien traded his smirk for a genuine smile. "The only thing I would want to infect you with is a love-bug."
Marinette's heart skipped a beat. She watched him carefully.
"I don't know about you, but…I think we were made for each other." Adrien's smile grew, which made Marinette's heart soar.
"You know…." Marinette paused taking one of his hands in hers. "I think you might be right about that, Minou."
*ding ding ding*
Marinette started to glow. Like actually glow!
"Oh! Looks like it's my turn." She smiled as she looked down at herself. She quickly turned back to Adrien.
"Wish me Luck!" She said.
Adrien chuckled. "Good luck, my Lady." He kissed her hand again. "I hope we get to meet down on earth."
"I know we will!" Marinette spoke excitedly. She was getting brighter and brighter. Adrien could barely see her now.
"See you soon, Adrien!" With a flash, she was gone! She was somewhere in the world below.
Adrien smiled to himself. His hand was still warm from her touch. "Happy Birthday, My Lady!"
The blonde peeked over the cloud at the world below. "See you soon!" he sighed.
Over on another cloud sat two people, a girl and a boy. They had been watching the entire exchange between Adrien and Marinette.
"They're going to be fun to watch." The girl chuckled. "I've never seen two people made so well for each other." The girl paused smirking at her partner. "Discounting us of course."
The boy acknowledged her words with a single nod.
"They'd make great holders, don't you think?" She leaned her head on his shoulder affectionately as she spoke.
"We'll see how things pan out. Master Fu will call on whoever he sees fit to replace us." The boy stated matter of factually.
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see then." The girl replied.
