A/N: Hey there my Miraculous readers! (do you guys like being called that?) This is not an au and is set after the Valentine's day episode but before the Volpina episode. I will try to update twice a week, but if a lot of you guys want it to be updated faster, I'll do my best. Hope you enjoy!

The Dupain-Cheng household was up well before any other house on the block. As the sun rose, Sabine was getting the bakery ready for the day by dusting off shelves, turning on lights, and taking special April Fools Day desserts out of the oven. Tom and Marinette were working on the platter of circle shaped sugar cookies set aside especially for Marinnette's class.

While her father put a fresh layer of icing upon each cookie individually, Marinette decorated them with little symbols for April Fools day.

She made sure to bring extras so herself, Alya, Nino, and maybe even - Adrien, could have extras if they wanted.

After she finished, she grabbed the tin, hugged her mom and dad, and ran upstairs to get ready for the day. Marinette gave Tikki a cookie to eat and munched on one while she got dressed into her signature outfit and parted her hair into two, dark blue pigtails.

"Marinette, are you going to pull any pranks today?" asked Tikki in her high, concerned voice. Tikki wasn't completely sure what the point of April Fools day was, but she did know that it involved pranks and she wasn't fond of that idea.

"Oh, Tikki, of course not. I would feel so bad if my prank made someone really upset." Marinette started placing books into her bag, careful not to crush the cookie box. "There's already so many bad feelings on April Fools, I don't want to give Hawk Moth any more chances to akumatize someone."

Unfortunately, not everyone shared Marinette's way of thinking.

"ADRIEN YOU'RE TWO HOURS LATE FOR SCHOOL. NATALIE AND THE GORILLA WERE IN HERE TRYING TO WAKE YOU UP TWICE, BUT YOU WOULDN'T WAKE UP. YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO GET DOWNSTAIRS OR ELSE YOUR FATHER WON'T LET YOU GO TO SCHOOL AGAIN!!!!" Screamed Plagg at the top of his lungs into Adrien's ear.

Adrien's eyes opened and he jumped up immediately in panic at Plaggs words. No more school meant no more anything for Adrien. No more friends, no more chances to be a normal kid, this could not be happening.

He grabbed his bag shoving things into it hastily and brushed his teeth as quickly as he could, ignoring Plagg's snickering. He skipped taking a shower and rushed downstairs into the foyer as fast as he could. No Natalie nor Gorilla were waiting.

Crap!

Adrien burst into the kitchen to be met with a raised eyebrow. There stood Natalie, watching the chef pack Adrien's lunch for the day. "Is something wrong?" She asked, her voice flat. The grand clock in the foyer gave eight chimes letting them know that they would have to leave for school in thirty minutes.

Adrien cursed Plagg internally. "No, nothing, Natalie. I was just, um-" "Trying to sneak some food?" Another raised eyebrow, he was getting sick of seeing that. "You know you can only have the meals prepared for you by the chef, Adrien." "I-uh-of course!" Adrien was glad that Natalie had come up with an excuse for him and he hurriedly left the kitchen.

"What the heck was that for Plagg?!" Plagg jumped out of Adrien's pocket and rolled with laughter on the bed. "BAHAHAHAHAHA that was the best reaction ever!"

"Oh, shut up!" Adrien huffed. After a quick shower, getting dressed, and a proper brushing of his teeth, he grabbed Plagg and, for the second time that day, headed downstairs. "That better be the only prank you have for today." He warned. Plagg just snorted and asked for some camembert.

Today was going to be a long day.

Even though she was up an hour earlier than usual, Marinette was still somehow late to school. "If you hadn't been staring at that advertisement outside the bakery with Adrien on it-" "I know, I know, Tikki." Marinette sighed.

She ran into class and as inconspicuously as possible slid into her seat next to Alya, ignoring her bestfriend's hiss of "No, Marinette, wait-" PPPHHHFFFTTT. A loud whoopie cushion went off. The class erupted into giggles and Madame Bustier turned, clearly annoyed. "Marinette, if you're going to be late, do it quietly."

Well that's not fair, the whoopie cushion made the noise not me. She sighed and got out her history book along with everyone else.

"Sorry, girl!" Alya looked at her, worriedly, "I tried to tell you, Chloe put it there a few seconds before you came in and I got in trouble for telling Chloe to shove that whoopie cushion up her-" Nino turned around pressing a finger to his lips. Alya just lowered her voice, "- so Madam Bustier said if she saw me move at all, I'd be sent to principals office." Guilt was spread on Alya's face. "Don't worry, we'll get her back Marinette, I promise!"

"Thanks Alya, don't worry about it! I know you had nothing to do with it." Marinette reached into her bag and pulled out her cookie tin. "Do you want one?" "Sure thing, girl, unless, this isn't some prank is it?" Alya asked suspiciously. "No of course not! I promise." "Oh, well in that case!" She leaned over and grabbed a cookie from the box. "A good journalist always stays energized!" Marinette giggled.

"Hey, can me and my man, Adrien, get some of that?" "Sure, Nino!" Marinette happily passed a cookie to Nino, and blushed when she handed one to Adrien, who smiled at her. "Thanks, Marinette."

Simultaneously, Nino, Adrien, and Alya took a bite of their cookies. "Woah, dude!" "These are so good!" "You're an amazing chef, Marinette!" All three cookies were gone in the blink of an eye.

"Did you here that?" Marinette elbowed Alya lightly. "Adrien called me an amazing chef." "Yeah, I heard, I was there." She whispered back. "I told you he would someday realize how amazing you are." Marinette smiled the biggest smile anyone had ever smiled before at that.

"So make sure to have the written answers to all two hundred questions turned into me by the end of class." Madame Bustier finished, turning to her class.

The class erupted immediately.

"THAT IS SOOO NOT FAIR!!" "WHAT" "200?!?!" "MY DAD, THE MAYOR, COULD FIRE YOU!" "THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD GET THAT FINISHED!" "WTF!!!!" "WHYYYYYYYY????" "I CANNOT BEL-!" The class quieted as half realized this was a joke and the other half started to lose their voices.

"I take it you guys don't like that idea?" Madame Bustier had an amused look plastered on her face. "Nooooo," chorused the class. "April fools!" she yelled and the class cheered. "I believe Marinette had something she wanted to pass out?" She motioned for Marinette to begin passing out cookies.

"After last year, the principal has asked the teachers to tell you guys to tone it down, but I know very well you won't so can you guys promise me that whatever pranks you do, please don't destroy this classroom?"

The students agreed while happily eating their cookies. Well, almost all of them, Chloe refused to touch hers because Marinette's family had "contaminated them" by making them. So Sabrina ate hers, although Marinette noted that Chloe looked longingly at the cookie while Sabrina ate it.

For the last ten minutes of class, the students had free time, but the had to stay in their seats which relieved Adrien. He did not want to have to deal with Chloe trying to be near him today. Not that he would ever say anything to her about it. Maybe that was part of the problem.

"So, what do you guys have planned for today?" Alya leaned forward over her desk. Nino and Adrien exchanged glances. "Yo, I'm not sure what my bud here has planned and I'm not telling you guys what I'm doing yet. On a completely unrelated note, do you guys have any song requests?" Nino quickly jotted down two songs that Ayla told him onto his arm with a pen.

"I'm probably not doing anything." Adrien said and shrugged at their questioning glances. "What about you Marinette?" "You-the-same, uh, same as you. P-probably not nothing." Her face turned a deep scarlet color and she quickly shifted her gaze to her, now empty, cookie tin as she placed it back into her pink bag.

"Okay, okay, stop asking, I'll tell you!" Alya joked, after it was silent for a few seconds. "I'm definitely doing something Ladybug themed and I might post a prank like "Chat Noir Died" on the Lady Blog."

She unlocked her phone and went to her notes page. "Hey, I can't believe I almost forgot, Marinette and I are doing a super huge prank on Chloe and maybe Sabrina." She bumped Marinette's shoulder with her own. "We are?" "Yeah totally! She deserves it!" "I second that." Adrien mumbled

"Don't feel bad Marinette, Chloe is so mean to everyone, especially to you, don't you think she deserves a taste of her own medicine?"

The idea of pranking someone made Marinette uneasy, but Alya made it sound appealing. "I-I guess."

"Great!" Alya beamed. "Count me in as well." Nino turned around, and rested his elbows on their table. "You're totally right, she deserves it." "Just don't make it really bad." Marinette added. "I hope she gets super embarrassed!" Nino said at the same time.

"Okay! Okay! We'll figure it out!" Alya held out her hands in a calm down motion. The bell rang, dismissing class. "Adrien, you in?" Adrien thought for a second before saying yes. "But I agree with Marinette, let's not sink to Chloe's level and be as harsh."

Adrien and Nino left. "He agreed. He said-with me-Alya!" Alya looked up from her packed bag. "Yeah he did, Mari! Great going! Now come on, it's time for science!"

A/N: I know this first chapter wasn't too interesting, but I hoped it sort of set the stage for the upcoming chapters. The next chapter will have a little more action.

Giving reviews is like giving me money.
