Hello! This is my first Miraculous fanfic! Yeah, I've been planning this for a while. I know someone else wrote about the Blood Moon Ball and Marinette on Wattpad (and maybe on here as well?).
Disclaimer:I swear this idea of events are mine and if someone already made something similar to this, it's just a coincidence. None of these characters and event (Blood Moon Ball) are mine. (Obviously ;-;)

Adrien sat in the classroom thinking about the Blood Moon Ball. The Blood Moon Ball is a huge citywide event. The blood moon comes every sixty years. Tomorrow marked sixtieth year since the last blood moon. Making tomorrow the Blood Moon Ball. It's a dance held under the Eiffel Tower and the areas around it. The ball is revolved around a huge legend in which the blood moon chooses two souls and they dance under the blood moon's glow. The blood moon's light bounds the chosen two's soul together for eternity. So every time the blood moon comes around many couples come hoping their souls will get chosen. Today everyone was getting ready for the ball. Hanging up decorations, getting outfits, asking out crushes. Adrien was lost in his thoughts until a poke brought him back to reality.
"Huh?"
"Yo dude, you were zoning out," his best friend, Nino told him,"So anyway, now that you're back in reality, are you going to the BMB?"
"Yeah, but just to hang out with you guys."
"No girl?" Nino asked him.
"No girl."
Adrien was really tempted to ask LB to go as Chat Noir, but...yeah you know what would happen. So now he's just going to hang with his buddies. Nino, Alya, and Marinette. Adrien listened to Nino's rant about how he was going to try to ask Alya. Mid-rant Alya and Marinette entered the class mid conversation. Alya was blabbing on about Ladybug and Chat Noir.
"This Blood Moon Ball is going to be the best! It's going to be LB and Chat Noir's first. Ever. Blood Moon Ball!" Alya exclaimed.
Marinette laughed at her best friend's excitement. As Alya continued about how amazing this year's BMB is going to be, Marinette was going through an internal situation. She desperately wanted to ask Adrien to the BMB, but she could already imagine the play of events in her head.
"H-hey A-Adrien!" Marinette nervously greeted.
"Hey Marinette!"
"I was thinking you're great- I MEAN it would be g-great if you would, um, g-go with the blood moon ball- I MEAN go w-with me moon blood ball- I MEAN uh, um, nevermind," Marinette nervous giggled.
"Hey Marinette!"
"Huh?"
"Are you still thinking about Adrien?" Alya questioned.
"SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Marinette shushed as she covered her friend's mouth.
"I take that as yes," Alya chuckled once she got Marinette's hands off her mouth.
Marinette sighed as she buried her head in her arms on her desk.
"Good morning class!" Ms. Bustier greeted the class," Before we start, I want to introduce you to our new student! Conner Lacriox."
"Hey."
"Conner?!" Marinette whisper-yelled.
"You know this dude?" Alya asked in a low whisper.
"Yeah, we were best friends until he moved away to Italy."
"Okay Conner, you can sit next to Nathanael," the teacher directed.
As Conner was heading towards his seat, he waved hi to Marinette as he passed by.
"Okay class, back to lessons."
"Whoa, what was that in class earlier, Mari?" Nino asked the bluenette.
"I knew him when I was younger, we were really close," she shrugged.
"Wow, really?" Adrien asked.
Marinette jumped in shock.
"O-oh hi you, Adrien, because that's you," Marinette nervously told him.
Like normal, Adrien shrugged off Marinette's stutters.
"Mari!"
Marinette recovered from her jump and look behind her to see a Conner running at her.
"Hey Conner! Long time no see!" Marinette greeted him.
"Yeah same," he chuckled," And look you actually grew!"
"Hey!"
Marinette and Conner laughed in unison.
"Oh yeah! These are my friends Alya, Adrien, and Nino!"
"Hey, I'm Adrien!"
"Sup, I'm Nino."
"Heyy, Alya."
"Conner!" he greeted back.
"We'll leave you two to catch up," Alya told Marinette and her dark brown haired friend and she pushed Adrien and Nino away as she walked.
"See ya later!" Marinette waved bye to them.
Marinette and Conner watched them leave.
"You're still short." Conner said as they left.
"You have changed a bit."
Marinette and Conner were walking to Marinette's bakery. They were laughing and making jokes with one another just like the old days.
"Why are we watching them?" Nino asked Alya as Alya, Nino, and Adrien peered around the corner.
"Nino, I thought I explained this already! Conner obviously has a huge crush on Marinette! I want to see if he asks her to the BMB!"
"Gosh, you sure are nosy." Nino muttered under his breath," This is why I love you."
"What was that?" Adrien teased.
"N-NOTHING!" Nino exclaimed nervously.
"SHUSH!" Alya hissed at the two boys.
"Hey maman, papa!" Marinette greeted her parents with a hug as she entered,"Look who I brought!"
Conner shyly waved at them. The adults gasped in unison.
"Conner? You're back?!" Ms. Dupain-Cheng asked the boy.
"Yep, my parents found a permanent job in Paris!"
A few minutes had passed and soon enough, Conner had to leave.
"Bye Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng!" Conner waved goodbye.
Marinette followed her friend outside.
"Are you sure you know the way to your house?"
"Puh-lease, Mari I remember the roads of Paris better than the back of my hand," Conner teased her," Hey Mari, can I ask you a question before I go?"
"You just did."
"Shut up, you know what I mean," Conner laughed.
"Shoot Conner."
"Okay, you know the Blood Moon Ball?" Conner asked Marinette.
"Of course you dum-dum."
"Do you want to go with me? I mean I underst-"
"Sure."
"What?!" Conner asked to make sure his ears weren't deceiving him.
"Yeah, sure I'll go with you," Mari giggled," Now go home Con Man."
"Oh!" Conner started running, "Bye Mari!"
"Bye Conner!"
"YESSS!" a voice cheered loudly.
"SHHHH! SHE'LL HEAR US!" a louder voice tried to shush her.
Marinette recognized those voices.
"Alya, Nino?" she asked.
The two walked out of their hiding spot with Adrien.
"Crap," Adrien nervously giggled.
Marinette sighed and shoved the three inside the bakery.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," Alya squealed," You, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, got asked out by your childhood friend. How cute!"
"Ow," Nino rubbed his ears," My ears."
Adrien laughed. Adrien tried to look happy for his blue haired friend, but deep inside he was jealous (?). Adrien shook off the feeling. Meanwhile Marinette was being hugged to death by Alya and Nino was attempting to save poor Mari's life by trying to pull Alya off. Adrien laughed at the current situation and helped Nino pull Alya off.
It was the day of the Blood Moon Ball and classes had been called off. Marinette spent the day in the room creating her dress for the BMB. Marinette saw exactly what she wanted in her head. A simple dress. A sweetheart bodice the skirt down to halfway to her knees, but not too short. The back was a little longer than the front. The skirt had big pleats. The dress was a mix of hot pink, baby pink and red. After thinking about the finished project she continued to work on the dress. Meanwhile Adrien was up in his room thinking about his emotions.
"Plaggg, I need help," Adrien groaned.
The kwami left his cheese and floated above Adrien. Adrien looked at him with puppy dog eyes.
"Ugh, fine kid," Plagg groaned,"This is a one time thing just because I want to get this done with and eat my cheese."
"Yay!" Adrien cheered like a little kid.
"Yeah, yeah," Plagg muttered under his breath.
"Ok, so this girl," Adrien started.
"Shy Girl?" Plagg interrupted.
"Marinette," the blonde corrected the kwami," So anyway, her childhood friend came back yesterday and he asked her to the Blood Moon Ball. I tried looking happy for her. Honestly inside I felt I was dying. I don't know why! I love Ladybug, not Mari. I mean Mari's a sweet girl and all. UGH! Life is so confusing."
"I can't help with that," Plagg stated.
"You agreed."
"Yeah, but I don't do girls kid."
"You were no help," Adrien groaned in his pillow.
It was tim for the ball. Conner was in the baker's living room conversing with Mr. Dupain-Cheng. Marinette was putting on her dress.
"Wow! That looks beautiful, Marinette!" Tikki chirped.
"Aw, thanks Tikki," Marinette giggled.
She put on a white cardigan. Marinette undid her twin tails and putting her hair in a bun. She left two small parts of hair in the front out. Marinette tied her red ribbon around her bun once and let the rest hang freely. She put on a little makeup. She put on black flats and swung her normal purse around her body. Marinette rushed down the stairs.
"Wow," Conner gasped.
"Aw, thanks Conner," Marinette said in a teasing tone,"You look amazing as well. Now come on, we need to meet up with the others! Bye papa, maman!"
Conner was wearing a white dress shirt, a red bowtie, black dress pants, and black shoes.
Marinette dragged Conner out. The crew was waiting outside for them.
"Wow, Mari!" Alya gasped,"You've really outdone yourself!"
"Aw, thanks!" Mari gushed,"You too, Alya!"
Alya had her hair straightened and she was wearing a black dress halfway down her knees with spaghetti straps. She was wear white heels as well. A small purse was hung around her body so she could carry her phone.
"You made that today?"
"Yep!"
"Let's go guys!" Nino pushed the girls, Conner, and Adrien ahead.
They talked all the way to the Eiffel Tower. The tower was beautiful. The Eiffel Tower was all lit up.
"C'mon! Let's go dance you guys!" Alya said as she dragged everyone to the dance floor.
Once they got to the dance floor, Adrien and Marinette bumped into each other.
"O-oh. H-hi, hey, um, I'm sorry, very, very sorry." she apologized nervously,"Y-you like look n-nice."
"Y-yeah, thanks Mari!" Adrien chuckled,"You look really nice too."
Adrien was wearing almost all black. Black dress pants, black dress shirt, black shoes, and a bright green tie. Mari was blushing like crazy and was just staring at Adrien for a while. A poke broke her stare.
"Huh?"
"Mari, staring's not nice," Conner told Marinette,"Looks like someone has a crush."
Conner said that as teasingly as possible because he was dying inside when she was paying attention to Adrien.
"Let's go dance Mari."
"O-okay," Marinette agreed still looking at Adrien.
Marinette was still internally fangirling because Adrien called her Mari, and not Marinette. They didn't move too far. Soon enough the blood moon was shining was the light was starting to come down. Everyone was giddy at this point. The upbeat music soon changed into a classical piece that Marinette's never heard before.
"Hey Mari, stay here," Conner told the bluenette,"I'ma go get a drink."
"Yeah, yeah," Mari agreed not very listening.
She was mesmerized by the blood moon's light and was walking mindlessly around. She eventually bumped into Adrien. Then the light landed on them. Mari looked and Adrien and her face turned as red as the blood moon's light. Adrien thought, Screw it, and danced with Mari under the blood moon. Conner came back and saw Marinette dancing with Adrien. His blood began to boil. He tackled Adrien.
"That dance was meant for me!" Conner screamed at him.
Mari sighed as she saw him attack the love of her life.
"I was right, still haven't changed," she sighed.
Mari marched towards the Eiffel Tower. She really wanted to be alone. Conner marched out of the area and started walking home. Adrien followed Marinette. He waited for her to go up. Then he followed in another elevator. Inside the elevator, Marinette undid her hair. She didn't like putting it in a bun anyways. Marinette slipped off her cardigan and tie it around her waist. After doing so, she sat down in the elevator and waited for the doors to open.
Adrien found Mari looking over the party. Her hair was down and her cardigan was tied around her waist.
"Hey, Mari," he said nervously.
"Hey Adrien," she greeted back as she still looked over Paris,"I'm sorry for running into you earlier."
"O-oh, It's okay."
Adrien stood next to Mari facing the other way. There was silence between the two for a while.
"You know, I'm sorry for ruining your night," Adrien apologized,"And for 'stealing' Conner's dance."
"It's okay."
The silence continued.
"It wasn't really Conner's dance to begin with," she told Adrien in a teasing tone,"And I learned something tonight."
"What did you learn?"
Marinette put on her cardigan and faced the same way Adrien was facing.
"Now I know you can dance."
The two laughed in unison.
"C'mon, let's go down now," the two said in unison.
"Whoa, we said-,"they awed in unison,"-the same thing."
At this point they were starting to freak out.
"Stop it," they said in a nervous tone.
Marinette jumped back a little and grabbed the closest object. She held it in a throwing position. Adrien was ready to block the attack. Mari started to laugh and Adrien joined with her. Marinette put down the object.
"Heh, that was new,"Mari noted as she was recovering from laughing.
"Yeah."
A brief second of silence was shared.
"Now, c'mon Adrien!" Mari gently pulled Adrien along as she walked towards the elevator,"Nino and Alya must be worried."
"Marinette!" Alya ran towards her friend and wrapped her arms around her.
Alya had a 'Hey, you need to give me all the details. All. Of. Them.' look on her face.
"I will, later." Marinette told her.
"Later's too long," Alya groaned.
Meanwhile Nino was telling Adrien about all the things that happened.
"So then Conner stomped out of here," Nino explained to his friend who was somewhat listening,"And then he muttered something about revenge on his way out."
"How did you hear him mutter something about revenge?"
"I was next to him when he said that, dude."
"Yo, wanna go to Mari's place?" Alya yelled their way.
"Sure!" Adrien yelled back.
They met up at the entrance of the ball and walked to Marinette's bakery.
"So, you gonna tell me now?" Alya asked her friend quietly,"It's later."
"Okay, fine," Marinette sighed,"So basically, I went up and Adrien followed me. We had a conversation and then all of a sudden we started saying the same things at the same time. It was starting to get creepy. Then we came down."
"Awwwwwwe,"Alya gushed.
Marinette giggled and Alya joined her.
"Wait," Alya stopped Marinette's giggling fit,"You and Adrien danced under the blood moon, right?"
"Right."
"You know what that means?"
"No," Marinette was soon hit by a wave of realization,"OOOOH."
"Yeah."
Marinette was now internally panicking and fangirling at the same time, but it wasn't as internal as she thought.
"Yo, Alya, is Marinette okay?" Nino asked Alya.
"She'll be fine, give her a minute or two."
Yay! I hoped you liked it. It took me a long time to write the end suprisingly ;-;. Welp, thanks for reading my story! Bai until next time.
