Plagg finished wrapping the cheese in a red ribbon, and zipped into his chosens bathroom, where he found him at the sink, brushing his teeth. He flew up to Adrien and held out the cheese.

"Happy Birthday, Adrien!"

Adrien looked to his left, to find that his kwami had shoved a piece of ribbon wrapped camembert into his face. And boy, did it stink!

Adrien plugged his nose and pushed Plagg away gently,"Plagg, get that filthy piece of Camembert out of my face."

Plagg smirked happily at this and threw the cheese into the air, as he floated back and caught it into his mouth. He chewed it and patted his stomach happily.

"Oh well," he muffled out,"Your loss."

Adrien finished brushing his teeth,"Yeah, loss of appetite…"

Adrien entered into his bedroom and grabbed his school bag. He grabbed the daily container of camembert for Plagg, and put it into his bag, before letting Plagg into the hidden pocket of his blazer.

As he made his way down to breakfast, Nathalie caught up to him. "Adrien, here is your schedule for the day."

Adrien nodded and took the tablet from her,"Thanks Nathalie." Nathalie nodded and turned to walk off, but Adrien had to ask her something first,"Umm, Nathalie, did my father get back to you about my birthday party?"

Nathalie stiffened, and turned her head only slightly,"Well, umm… He, doesn't think it would be a good idea, unfortunately…"

Adrien sighed and turned to go to the dining room,"Of course he doesn't…"

Nathalie gave him a small look of sadness, before offering a light smile,"Happy birthday Adrien."

Adrien nodded and headed off,"Thanks…"

At the front of the school yard, Nino was blowing out bubbles to go across Paris,"Dude, seriously? Has your dad always been such a downer?"

Adrien shrugged as his friend continued,"Doesn't he remember what it's like to be young and wanna party a little?"

Adrien shook his head,"Nope. Pretty sure he was a downer back then too."

Nino shrugged,"What if you told him the real reason why you wanted this party so badly?"

Adrien blinked and cocke his head to the side,"That reason being…?"

Nino smirked and closed the bubbles up,"To spend more time outside of school with the girl of your dreams. Your dad obvously liked our mom, so he's gotta understand that reasoning at least."

Adrien shook his head,"As if I would actually tell him that. Besides, I'm not so sure on how he would feel about me having what he would call, 'A meaningless school boy crush, accordingly based on by m teenage hormones'. Trust me, the only thing that would get me, is a recap of 'The Talk', and you could only imagine how awkward that would be for me."

Nino nodded,"True." he glanced behind Adrien and smirked,"And speaking of your 'hormone based crush'..."

Adrien froze, "Wait, what?"

Suddenly, something rammed into Adrien from behind, and hugged his back. He yelped only slightly, before looking down to find 2 tiny arms wrapped around his waist. When they pulled away, he turned around, and blushed madly when he saw who it was.

Marinette giggled, as her hands were hidden behind her back,"Hey Adrien! Sorry if I scared you there."

Adrien remained frozen, until Nino elbowed his side, and he started to stutter,"Umm uh, n-no! I mean, no worries! I wasn't scared or anything just surprised is all! If anyone was to do that, I'd think Chloe- Not that you're anything like Chloe though! No way, you're the opposite! You just, ummm, I mean I uh- hahaha! Sorry, I'm rambling, and I'm just gonna-"

Adrien was interrupted by Nino, whom put his hand over his friends mouth, and gave Marinette a friendly smile,"He's fine. So, what's up?"

Marinette blinked a few times in surprise, before shaking it off, and pulling out what was behind her back. She smiled cheerfully to Adrine,"Well, when I learned your birthday was coming up, I decided I wanted to make you a gift. So- Happy Birthday, Adrien!"

Adrien gasped in surprise before smiling happily,"R-really?!"

Marinette nodded happily and handed it to him,"Your one of my closest friends! It's the least I could do."

Adrien blushed,"Th-Thou yank! I-i mean, You Thank! No just- Thank you!"

Nino chuckled, and Adrien could feel the vibrations coming from Plaggs laughter against his chest. Adrien grumbled lightly a his slip up, but Marinette didn't notice. She smiled brightly to him,"No problem!"

She hugged him for a quick second, before running up the steps to catch up with Alya. Nino looked back to Adrien and shook his head.

"Dude. You gonna breath, or what?"

Adrien followed through, and cheered happily. He grabbed Nino by the shoulders and shook him wildly,"Nino! She got me a present!"

Nino just chuckled more at this,"Correction, dude. She MADE you a present. Marinette always handmakes her gifts."

Adrien smiled even wider(if that were somehow even remotely possible),"Even better!"

Nino shook his head, and draped an arm around his friends shoulders, as they walked up the steps,"Dude, you're just adorable sometimes, y'know?"

They laughed as they made their way to class.

Upon arriving, Chloe rushed over to Adrien and kissed his cheek,"Happy Birthday, Adrikins!"

Nino gagged to the side, while Adrien did so internally. He played it off and pulled her off of him,"Yeah, thanks Chloe…"

She shrugged and batted her eyes flirtatiously. "Did you get the gift I sent you?"

Nino looked towards Marinette and Alya, to see them both rolling their eyes. He already understood that it was a lie. Adrien just looked confused however,.

"Umm, no?"

Chloe faked surprise,"What?!" she looked down in fake anger,"Oh, those delivery guys! I bet it was too heavy, so they had to get another guy to help. Those slackers!"

She came closer to him, "I'll make sure they get it to you by tonight, m'kay? I'm sure it'll be the best gift ever, even better than Maritrashes!" She kissed his cheek again, before humming as she headed off to her seat.

Adrien looked to Alya skeptically,"Did she?"

Alya shook her head,"She was reminded when she overheard me and Mari."

Nino patted his shoulder teasingly,"But hey, you'll still be getting a big and heavy present by tonight, right? If you don't want it, just give it to me to sell."

Adrien rolled his eyes, as they made their way to their seats.

Later that day, Marinette was sitting at the counter in her home, eating her lunch. Her mother sighed and fanned her face a little,"Woh! It's getting pretty hot in here. I think I'll open the window."

Marinette nodded,"Sure…"

A minute later though, Marinette spun around in her seat, when she heard her mother shout out her name. She gasped, at the sight of her mother caught in a large green bubble.

"Mom?!"

The bubble started to fly up and out of the window. Her mother yelled in fright,"Marinette!"

Marinette jumped up and ran to the window"MOM!"

She gasped at the sight of people trapped in green bubbles, all over Paris. She froze, as the next one came out from just below her in the bakery. "Dad?! DAD!"

Marinette rushed downstairs, and out the front door of the bakery, where a teenage boy was comforting 2 crying children. She looked up suddenly, when a familiar voice called down. Purple bubbles were flying around, with the image of a red and blue akuma.

"Hey, hey, hey! Today's your lucky day, little dudes. The adults are taking the day off, so make the most of it!"

Marinette gasped when she finally recognized the voice,"Nino?"

"No more chores, homework, or nagging- just fun,fun,fun, fun! This is the Bubbler's gift to you!"

Marinette hugged the kids reassuringly,"Don't worry, your parents will come back. Ladybug and Chat Noir will see to it." She turned to the teenager,"You should hide them into the bakery. If you see any other kids passing by, take them in too."

The boy nodded,"Yes, thank you miss."

She nodded, and rushed off to find Alya. If she knew her best friend, she would be trying to get the next scoop on the akuma. But the moment Marinette turned the corner, a purple bubble picked her up, and flew up. But instead of flying up to the sky with the adults, it started flying her off towards the agreste mansion.

Upon arriving there, Alya was standing there, with her phone already recording. She smiled happily when Marinette landed beside her. "Girl, you're here!"

Marinette was surprised when the bubble set her down,"Umm, yeah. The… bubble, made sure of it. What's going on?"

Alya sighed sadly,"It's Nino, if you haven't guessed. Apparently, he and Adriens dad had a bit of a tip off, and now he's sent all the adults away."

Marinette gasped,"Oh no!"

Adrien grasped his ring,"Nino's been akumatized. I've gotta help him!"

Plagg poked his head out,"You may never get this chance again… C'mon, lets have a little fun while your dads away in space. Then we'll save Nino, trap his Akuma,and all will be good."

Adrien looked away sadly,"I don't know Plagg…"

Plagg smirked and poked Adriens cheek teasingly,"You'll also be able to have a dance with Marinette~"

A second later, Adrien was walking back downstairs with a dopey grin plastered on his face,"Oh well, I'm sure Ladybug will show up soon. And when she does, then I'll transform. In the meantime though- Let's Party!"

Plagg cheered,"Yay! Oh- while you're at it, let's hit the snack table, hmm? I smelled so many different types of cheese before!"

Adrien laughed,"You know, normal people take orders from the brain, not the stomach."

Plagg smirked,"And I will happily admit that for me, those are the exact same thing."

Adrien looked around for Marinette, but couldn't find her anywhere. Not to mention the fact that he had just seen Sabrina requesting a slow dance. It would have been the perfect excuse! Where was she?

Suddenly, Chloe came up to him,"Adrikins~"

Not yet seeing the danger before him, he looked to Chloe,"Hey, Chloe, have you seen Marinette?"

Chloe groaned,"Somewhere near the soundbooth with that blogger girl." She closed her eyes and leaned in happily,"But forget her, let's go dance!"

When she opened her eyes though, she was shocked to see Adrien was no longer standing in the place he was before. She growled in frustration.

Adrien made his way up to the soundbooth, where Marinette stood next to Alya, who was busy trying to talk to the Bubbler over his plans and schemes. The Bubbler was about to answer one of Alya's questions, when he saw the Marinette was just standing beside her. He looked behind her to Adrien and smiled.

The Bubbler smiled in a friendly manner towards Marinette,"Hey, Mari! Why not you dance? I know this is your favorite song."

Marinette jolted out of her thoughts and laughed nervously,"Yeah well… It's just that, everyone else is already dancing with a partner…"

Bubbler reached over her shoulder, grabbed Adriens arm, and pulled him in front of the bluenette. "Adrien's free. You 2 go on and hit the dancefloor!"

Adrien felt his jaw drop. Even akumatized, hs best friend was playing as his wingman! Personally, Nino was Adriens new favorite akuma victim.

Marinette smiled happily, grabbed Adriens hand, and ran onto the dance floor. Once arrived, She placed his hands to her hips, as her own onto his shoulders. She smiled brightly up to him.

Adrien blushed deeply, as the two of them started off to the song. But only a minute into the song, Ladybug had landed onto the overlook connected to the gates. She had a red pixie cut, with her bangs staining close to a black. She also had Dark Blue eyes.

"Bubbler!" she called down to him.

Everyone looked up to her in shock, before Adrien snuck back inside, and let Plagg out of his pocket,"Alright, buddy. Time to transform."

Plagg sighed as he looked down to a slice of Brie he had swiped from the snack table. "Well, I enjoyed it while it lasted…"

"Plagg- Claws out!"

The next day, Adrien smiled happier than ever as he got out of the car. He waved to Nino, as he made his way over. Nino smiled and waved back.

"Dude! Nice scarf. Wait, is that-?"

Adrien nodded happily,"Yep! It's the present that Marinette made me! I love it."

"Well I'm glad to hear it."

Adrien jumped a bit, as Marinette had snuck up behind him. She smiled happily to the blonde, and Alya came up beside her. "I wanted to get you something personal, that you could wear wherever. I'm glad you like it."

Adrien bobbed his head up and down rapidly, as Nino decided to tease him more. "No,no, Marinette. I believe his words were love, not like. Much like his feelings for-"

At that, Adrien had elbowed his best friend in the gut, causing Alya to snicker, and Marinette to shrug it off. Alya waved goodbye, and Marinette rested her hand onto Adriens shoulder. She smiled.

"I hope you had a nice birthday." she leaned in and lightly kissed his cheek,"You know, minus the whole your BFF being an akuma part."

She winked to Nino at the last part, and walked off to class, not at all realizing what she had just done to the poor Agreste child.

Adrien remained frozen in that spot, until Nino finally snapped him out of it. Adrien looked to his friend with a growing smile,"She, she, she just- she-!"

Nino nodded and started walking up the steps,"She did, and if you don't want to look stupid for being late when you were right in front of class, I suggest you hurry up, dude."

Adrien rushed after his friend and hugged him from behind happily,"I'll never wash my cheek again!"

Nino laughed,"That's just gonna make her never want to kiss your cheek again!"

The 2 laughed as the rushed up to their classroom.

Okay, so I'm just gonna get some things straight here, okay?

Adrien is still Chat Noir.

Marinette is not Ladybug.

I will not be revealing Ladybug until Princess Fragrance. But she basically just looks like a human Tikki.

Adrien/Chat Noir has a crush on Marinette.

Marinette does not yet have crush, but she will son gain a crush on Chat Noir.

This is all mainly Marichat, with a lot of Adrienette. But the relationship mainly grows in Marichat.

There will be absolutely no Ladynoir or Ladrien. 1, because Ladybug is someone else. 2, because I HATE Ladrien, and only partially acknowledge Ladynoir.

Marinette will still have a lot to do with the Miraculous even though she does not yet own one herself.(Hmm, what's this? A bit of foreshadowing? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

Lots of fluff, and LOTS of kisses.

So I may or may not go in order with these episodes, so don't get mad with me if it seems like I may have missed an episode.

Thank you so much, now enjoy!
