Hi. I'm annoyed with the lack of stuff about this ship, because I love it, and I think it deserves more shippiness. Which is a word now. I just like it. This idea lives in my brain now, so I wrote it down. How did my mind even create this?

One: Crashes and Crash-Courses

When Kim cheered, Alix knew she had just lost a bet. So the Monday she noticed him running around whooping as she skated onto school grounds, she did not question it. She stopped about a half centimetre from running over his toes and calmly asked,

"What's my punishment?"

He grinned down at her, unbearably smug. His usual punishments were getting boring, and the ones he had to do were getting weirder and harder by the day. So, with Max's help, he had come up with a brilliant revenge.

"You, Alix Kubdel..."

"Yes?"

"Must..."

"YES?"

"Act and dress girly, and I'm talking makeup and actually using a hairbrush..."

"What!"

Kim went in for the kill.

"For one whole week!"

Alix fell over, on the concrete, swearing loudly.

She was distracted by this horrible prospect all day. During Maths, she mentally went through her wardrobe and realised that she actually did not own a dress or a skirt. During Science, she realised she had broken her last brush on Friday, using it as a weapon against a large spider that was sitting on top of her bed. During English, she realised she was not sure what makeup went on your eyes and what went on your lips. During Lunch, she marched over to where every girl in the class, with the exception of Chloe and Sabrina, sat to eat, and threw down her bag with a loud clatter.

"I need you to teach me how to girl."

Alya glanced at Marinette, then back at Alix.

"Yeah, we heard about the bet. Come to Marinette's after school and we'll help you out."

Thank god, she was not going to have to figure everything out on her own.

Later that day, a small girl army was assembled in Marinette's bedroom, armed with the food provided by her parents, and their phones. Everyone assigned themselves a job, and got on with it. Alix stood in the middle of the room, Marinette measured her, Rose went through Marinette's designs looking for some she could make in Alix's size, Alya used her phone to check what was ladylike, Mylene used hers to check what was not, and Juleka explained to Alix the difference between blush and foundation. Alix's head was spinning, and she ate at least twelve cookies. After awhile, Marinette told her to come her a few hours before school started the next day, and they would all help her get ready. Alix skated home in a daze, ate dinner, set her alarm for five-forty-five, and passed out. This was going to be a loooooooonnnnnnng week.

Like I didn't already have enough stuff to do! Fun! ...I need to stop doing this.
