Marinette was just getting out the shower when she got a message from Alya asking if she can bring croissants since most likely nobody thought about breakfast.
"Yeah sure! I'll even throw in some Madeleine's but don't tell Chloe ;)" she replied.
Marinette was already half dressed when Alya decided to respond.
"You have my word, girl. Now hurry up, I'm already outside!"
Marinette groaned at her friends impatience and proceeded to dry her hair quickly before fixing it into two pigtails. Finally she grabbed her weekend bag and ran downstairs.
"Bye Papa! Tell mom I said I'll miss her when she gets back!" Marinette said to her dad as she gave him a quick hug.
"Alright I will. Remember to be safe Marinette! Love you!"
"Love you too papa!" As she was about to head out the door, she quickly remembered something important.
"Oh I almost forgot! Hey pops, do you mind throwing in some pastries for the class? Just as a last minute surprise and a thank you for inviting me? Doesn't have to be the fresh ones, maybe the ones we may have to throw out soon?" Marinette was hesitant when asking her father for favors like these, especially when her family's income relies on the bakery business.
"Well of course Marinette!" Her father boomed, "You have a small class so here are a few bags for I think, about two to three croissants a person?"
"Wow thanks dad, but isn't that too much?"
"Maybe. But also here are some other stuff we were going to throw out anyway. Just don't tell your class that. They're still fresh of course, but not for bakery standards."
"Thank you pops! You're the best ever!" Marinette yelled as she jumped into her fathers bulky arms. "I'll see you Tuesday. No later."
"Have fun, honey."
"Bye!" Finally, Marinette ran outside and almost ran into Alya.
"Oh my gosh, Alya! I am so excited! Isn't this gonna be great!" Marinette immediately started jumping up and down on her friend with an extreme adrenaline rush.
"Calm down, Mari. It's only for three days and it's not like Adrien is gonna be there. Oh that's right he is!" And like that, Marinette began to hyperventilate with excitement at the many scenarios playing in her head.
"But of course, nothing will happen other than an incoherent exchange of words. How can I be so silly?" Teased Alya. Immediately Marinette calmed down enough to walk back at a normal pace
"Yeah okay. Well I still can't believe we're gonna actually do this though. A weekend at the Louvre? I mean, it's no camping trip in the woods but it's still pretty great." Marinette was at first intrigued when somebody suggested a a camping trip as their yearly class trip. She had always wanted to go camping, but her parents never really saw a good time for it.
"Yeah I know, it's crazy! And even crazier that we have Sabrina to thank for no teacher supervision." Alya challenged her friends excitement. "I still find it even more unbelievable that you managed to pull this off, so the real hats off goes to you class rep!"
Marinette laughed and thanked her deputy. A camping trip in the woods didn't come through, but an educational weekend stay at The Louvre did. And it really wasn't thanks to Marinette, but more to the mayor and Ladybug. She refused to thank Chloe, however, so they left her out.
When they arrived at the museum, the entire class was already there. More noticeably, Adrien and Nino were chatting with Kim and Mylene while still holding their bags. Chloe on the other hand, was sitting on a 4 foot suitcase the color of a Sunburned Tikki. Sabrina was with her dad having a completely normal father-daughter conversation. She looked very innocent with an undisturbed persona that set Marinette off a beat.
"Hey guys!" Alya said almost distantly. It didn't take Marinette long to notice that Alya managed to steer their way to Nino and Adrien.
"Hey Alya! Hey Marinette!" Chimed Mylene. "Didn't think the mastermind behind this would be late, but then again. Didn't expect anything else."
"Oh sorry. I got distracted with my shower and packing." Marinette started. "I probably would've even forgotten why I was showering if Alya hadn't asked if I could bring treats from my dads bakery." She then held up the various bags of mouth-watering pastries for the greedy class of sweet tooth's to see. "Am I forgiven?" She teased.
"Nice Marinette! I really enjoy your dads baked goods. They're truly Paris's best," Adrien chimed. "So thanks!"
Alya was sure Marinette was gonna pass out so she scooted a bit closer to her blushing damsel-in-distress.
"Oh-uh. Thank you? I mean thank you!" She bellowed to all of innocent Paris. "Thanks," she whispered in shame. She looked to Alya for some help.
"But remember. Don't tell Chloe or Sabrina. It would be a shame to feed the devil sugar," Alya laughed at her clever analogy and the rest of the class nodded in understanding as they retreated to their previous conversations.
Just as Alya started to engage herself in full girlfriend mode with Nino, Adrien decided to try small talk with the other third wheel.
"So Marinette. I just wanted to thank you for trying your hardest to get our class up here." Adrien smiled with the perfect amount of sincerity that made Marinette lose her train of thought.
"Oh, it's a problem! I mean no problem!" Marinette was thinking only two things: the love of my life appreciates me; Jesus Christ Mari, stop stumbling like a drunk elephant in the middle of London!
Adrien gave a small laugh and was about to continue when a woman's voice interrupted. They both looked up to see a gray haired lady standing at about the height of a Marinette but with a very determined face.
"Good morning, students. Before I begin, I'd like to remind you that this privilege of participating in a overnight trip at The Louvre is no ordinary thing and you have only two people to thank for that; The Mayor and his daughter, Chloe Bourgeois," at this everybody stole glances and concerned looks from eachother. Most of them directed at Marinette, who was to busy admiring Adrienne's leaking curls to notice anything else at the moment.
"Furthermore, there are rules. On the first day, which is today, you'll be taken to the courtyard to be lectured on the history of The Louvre. That is where you'll be for the remaining of today. Afterwards, when The Louvre is closed at 6, you'll be taken back inside where you'll be given further instructions regarding your sleeping arrangements."
The woman kept talking for a while longer but Marinette was pulled aside while she was admiring the radiating sun of Adrienne's face.
"Look. You and I already know the sleeping arrangements. You and me. Nino and Adrienne. But I'm asking if it would be at least okay to have our tent next to theirs. It is? Okay thanks Marinette!" Even though Marinette never agreed to anything, she was more concerned as to why Alya felt the need to warn her about her clever scheme.
Whatever the case, she brushed it off and followed her to the courtyard.
Okay so I am writing this in the near future. It has been brought to my attention that my darn auto correct has been replacing 'Adrien' with 'Adrienne'. This is embarrassing. But I managed to fix it at the start of chapter five, so however confusing my typo has made some people I apologize. But thanks for everybody's support!
