Chapter 2: Steps
Marinette sighed as she drew her newest outfit. It had been one day. One day since her last lesson and all she could think about were golden hair and green eyes.
Her new cat, Tikki, was purring happily as she rested on Marinette's lap and dozed off. She had long, dark ginger fur covered in five round black spots on her back.
Marinette had washed and fed the cat when she'd bought it home last night. She decided to keep the small furball to make her apartment feel more like home and not so empty.
Now she looked out her window as small dropps of rain fell from the sky and covered everything in water. She liked rain. It felt do fresh and everything seemed so clean after it cleared up.
Plus, like, puddles.
Now she put down her pencil and quickly pulled on her waterproff jacket and boots. »Be good while I'm out!« She called to Tikki, before closing the door to her apartment and locking it.
She walked out of her building and into the street. As soon as she was out she took a deep breath. Fresh, humid air filled her lungs. She looked up at the sky and closed her eyes as dropps of rain ran down her cheeks and nose, covering her eyes. She sighed as she opened her eyes again and started walking down the street. There were a few cars outside, but otherwise Marinette seemed to be alone. She giggled. It had been a while since she'd taken a walk in the rain.
She skipped a few steps. Maybe she could practice the knew choreography they'd learned a bit yesterday. She skipped another few steps and started imagining the music playing. She slipped into a slide to the right, then one to the left. She spun around and soon she'd forgoteen all about practicing a new choreography. Marinette wasn't even paying much attention to her surrounding anymore. She was careful not to fall in fronz of a car but that was all. She heard music play through her mind and she moved in a beautiful choreography. She didn't always know when she was dancing a different piece. Usually she was just practicing or something when bits of her old choreographys would come to her...And she'd just dance them through without a thought. Now was one of those moments as she moved without knowing where her next step would take her.
She finally finished. Her right shoulder lifted to the front, leaning back on heer left leg as the right one stood in front. She opened her eyes and suddenly startled as she caught gazes with burning green.
She quickly straightened up as Adrien approached her. »Hey, Marinette. That was amazing. Where did you learn that choreography!« Marinette blushed at his praise and smiled. »I'm not sure. I used to dance a few years back, but then I forgot all my choreographys and stopped dancing all together...I sometimes just get impulsive snippets of choreographies that I can dance through well.« Adrien smiled and nodded. »I'm sorry that happened to you. I couldn't imagine forgetting all of my choreographies...Anyway what you just danced was great really. I'm sure you'll have no problem learning everything on class quickly. Marinette smiled back. »Thanks.« That's when she noticed that they were both still standing in the rain. »I should probably go, so I don't catch a cold...But I'll seee you tomorrow at lessons. Bye!« Adrien waved as she ran off. »Bye...«
Adrien opened the door to his apartment as he was greeted with loud meowing from Plagg, as his black cat demanded cheeese.
He sighed as he threw himself onto his bed and Plagg jumped up besides him, settling down next to him. »Marinette...« He whispered. »She'd looked so much like her Plagg.« He said as he stroked the cat. »When she danced.«
»She looked so much like Ladybug.«
A.N:
Okay...So this is super short and I'm sorry but I've been busy with school lately and unable to update often so sorry 'bout that. The next chapter will probably(hopefully) be longer, like a bit over 2,000 words maybe...Anyway I hope it'll be. I'll also probably post it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. That is my goal.
On another hand...

As always I hope to hear some reviews. They motivate me to write faster. I'm serious, they do.
