True "Miraculous" Night
(AN): Greetings all! This is my first fanfiction so sorry if it kinda sucks. Basically, I got this idea after watching the tradition that happens at my university and most of it will be explained as the story goes on. If I need to though I'll explain anything else in another author note. Don't know how long I'll make this but that will depend on a few things. So, I hope you'll all enjoy this as it goes along. Also as a disclaimer I am just a huge fan of the series and do not own anything.
Chapter 1
"No.."
"Come on girl, please?"
"No Alya I'm not going."
"Mari listen to me, you're graduating this year, this is a school tradition so why don't you live a little?"
"Because I don't want to kiss a random stranger in front of a giant crowd!"
Why did the tradition even exist? It seemed pretty cliché to Marinette. Kiss someone on a special podium in the middle of campus under the light of the full moon and you can call yourself "A True Panther." It felt like all she would get out of it was the small piece of paper proving she did it , and possibly a creepy stalker boy who wouldn't leave her alone for many months.
Alya looked at her friend and shook her head. "Didn't you say that by the end of your university career that you would have your first kiss? Here you are with only a few months left and still a VL."
Marinette looked up from her design in confusion. "VL?"
"Virgin Lips, Mari please I know…." Alya was cut off by the sound of her ringtone. She pulled out her phone quickly and looked at the message with a mischievous grin.
"Ok Mari how about this, what if it wasn't a 'complete stranger?'"
"What do you mean by that?"
"My boyfriend has someone who's ok with helping out."
"ALYA!" Marinette buries her face in her hands "Why'd you have to drag Nino into this?"
"Because girl desperate times call for desperate measures, think about it. If it's one of Nino's friends, then you know he's not going to be a bad guy. Who knows, you two might even hit it off."
"I mean that doesn't sound AS bad," she says quietly "but I still really don't know about all this…"
"You know what I'll make a deal with you Marinette Dupain-Cheng." Alya had called her by her full name so you know she's being serious. "Do this for me and I'll buy all the fabric you'll need for your projects from now until the end of the semester."
Marinette looked back down to her sketch pad and thought hard. 'Alya is really making this hard to say no' she thought to herself. Looking back up to Alya she stared directly into her eyes. "Any and all of the fabric?"
Alya practically squealed "So I take that as a yes?"
"Well you made and offer that is almost impossible to turn down. What the heck let's do it."
Alya is literally bouncing up and down as she pulls her phone back out and sends a quick text. "There we go, it's set in stone so no turning back now, if you do there will be a punishment."
"And what might that be?"
"Let's just say you would have to become an 'Ultimate Panther' instead."
Marinette's face instantly flushed to the thought of that horror. "No thank you! I think I'd rather kiss a complete stranger that get arrested while completely naked."
As Alya laughed at her friends terrified reaction, a few streets over Nino pulled out his phone and grinned while turning to look at the blond sitting next to him.
"Looks like we're all set to go for tonight Adrien."
Adrien looked at his friend in utter defeat. "Remind me why I agreed to kiss a stranger again?"
"Well because it's either that or becoming an 'Ultimate Panther' bro."
"Oh right, the punishment card, I just hope this girl doesn't end up completely hating me after this."
"Trust me man, Alya and I don't think that will be the case."
