"Bye bye, little butterfly." Ladybug watched the butterfly flutter away before returning to Chat Noir.
"Pound it!"she said with Chat Noir. Another adventure had ended with their signature fist bump. The moon was shining bright on the Eiffel Tower, illuminating their faces. Suddenly, Ladybug's Miraculous made a beeping noise, signaling that she was about to detransform soon. She jumped from one building to another, leaping gracefully like a skilled dancer. As the darkness enveloped her, she did not notice Chat Noir with his outstretched hand, his mouth opening as if he was about to say something. But then he closed it, and retreated to the opposite direction Ladybug jumped off to.
Marinette went to school the next day, thinking about her latest adventure. Tikki, her own little kwami, was hidden in the pouch by her side as usual. As she hummed, turning to the topic of her new designs, she crashed into someone. "Ow!" The voice struck Marionette as familiar. Too familiar. It was the super popular model and her crush, Adrien!
"O-oh. I-I'm sorry. I-I'm very sorry, A-Adrien."said Marinette. She wanted to bang her head on a nearby wall for stuttering. By now, it became such a daily routine that Alya has gotten bored of teasing her about it. However, today her stuttering was worse than usual. After Marinette helped Adrien pick up his books, she placed one hand behind her head and giggled a bit.
"Thanks,"replied Adrien. He raised a finger in salute and then walked off in a casual manner, leaving Marinette in a daze. When she got to her seat behind Adrien, Alya slid up next to her.
"Anything new today?" Marinette shook her head as if to clear it and sighed, resting her chin in her palms. She just continued to stare at the back of Adrien's head.
"Well, girl, you have to check this out." Alya dangled her phone in front of Marinette's face. Marinette instantly backed away.
"Alright, alright. Just show me before Miss Bustier comes in,"said Marionette. Alya shoves the phone in Marinette's face. She grabs it.
"Adrien finally loses it and yells at Chloe?!"gasps Marinette. Somewhere in the room, she sees Chloe yelps and drop the small pocket sized mirror and blush she had been applying to her cheeks.
"Like that would ever happen! Adrien loves me, he just doesn't know it yet! Hmph!" With that, Chloe stomps to the door with her hands clenched into fists and her head raised up. She bumped right into Miss Bustier. Marinette quickly tossed Alya's phone to her, and sat up straight in her seat. Miss Bustier's lab coat swished behind her as her heels clicked on the floor. Click. Click. Click.
