Salut! FINALLY! *choirs led by my sister singing in the back* FINAAAALLYYYY!

I'm done with another chapter! Got a little busy with school and stuff.

Jouir(enjoy)! ^^

"Adrien... why are you nervous?" she asked him when the lesson was over.

He sighed and got up with his bag hanging from his shoulder, "We'll talk later, it's..." he leaned forward and whispered to her "it's a miraculous secret."

A small gasp escaped her mouth as she knew what he was talking about, she saw his face turn serious and that could only mean it was something about their superhero identities. She nodded and turned to Alya who was talking with Nino, "See ya later, Alya."

"See ya, but don't be late. You guys need to be be back in an hour or two or we'll never be done in time with the preparations." she told them with a smile.

"Okay, let's go." said Adrien, he grabbed Marinette's hand before they went out of the room.

Alya smiled as she watched them go, then she heard someone groan.

"Ugh, I still can't understand why Adrien chose her instead of me. I mean, look at her! She's the daughter of a baker, she doesn't dress well and she never comes to school with a perfect hairstyle like me." said Chloé and patted her perfect hair.

Alya and Nino glared at her but before they could even make a comeback a familiar blond boy, who exited the room a few seconds ago, leaned back in and smiled, "Sorry, Chloé, but we can't bring that lesson up again. But since I'm the teacher of the subject I'll tell you the reason. We're all tired of explaining it all to you and my girlfriend -who, by the way, loves me for who I am- and I will be late to a special meeting if we won't go now so... see ya!" he said with a grin in his face and left the room again leaving Chloé with wide eyes and his class cheering at him.

"Wow! Nice go! Short, but still explains a lot." Alya laughed out as she looked out through the window and saw Adrien run to a chuckling Marinette.

Nino was catching his breath, "Yea! I mean, sure, he could try with what they did back when they first showed the class they were together but since he was in a hurry I'd say he did it pretty well."

Alya let out a happy sigh, "I still can't believe they're finally together." she said as she watched them went down the stairs.

"After you, m'lady." he said and bowed like a gentleman next to the car door he had opened for her.

She giggled and got in, she watched as he went to the other side of the car and jumped in. They fastened their seat-belts before "The gorilla" drove away.

When the car had left the school Marinette looked at Adrien, "So... what is making you so nervous?"

"Probably something that will make you nervous too... my father has been acting weird around me since..." he leaned down to her and whispered "since he saw my ring." and then held up his hand to show his the ring; his miraculous.

It did actually make her nervous, she gasped as her eyes widened and stared at him, "Do-... do you think he knows?"

Adrien sighed and leaned back in his seat, "When it comes to my father... there's a lot of things I can't understand. Let's just hope luck is on our side, m'lady." he said and grinned at her.

It didn't take long til they were right outside the mansion. Marinette stared at the huge building through the window, she had seen it before but never like this. Through the windows of Adrien's car, on her way to meet his father. It's scary. The mansion seemed so much bigger and less welcoming. She stared at it with a gap between her lips until she saw Adrien come forward and stare back at her but with a smile, he opened the door and she stepped out.

"Why that look, m'lady. You've been here before." he said remembering the times when the akumas had something to do with his family, like when Nino was the Bubbler or when that Simon guy was SimonSays(?)... which kind of reminded him of the thing he was worried about. But he tried to avoid that thought, he grabbed Marinette's hand before they went up the stairs and to the large door.

Marinette hadn't answered yet 'cause she was still bewildered, "I... I just haven't seen it from this perspective..." she chuckled.

"True, you've only had time to see it as a battlefield." he pointed out and opened the door. He smiled when he saw her stare up in the ceiling and around the hall. And when he'd pulled her with him to the center he saw her stare at only thing, so he followed her gaze and met his father's. He was walking down the stairs with a small smile in his face.

"Good evening, miss. It's good to finally see you again."

Marinette swallowed, she'd never actually been this close to Gabriel when she's been Marinette. He was her fashion idol since she first got interested in fashion. "G-good to s-see you too, Mr Agreste." she stuttered out. It felt strange, she hasn't stuttered like this in a month and it had been a common issue.

"Please, call me Gabriel." he said with a smile and stopped right in front of them.

"Chloé, no matter what you're doing I still think it's just another dumb idea of yours and you should stop right now." said Alya standing at the door frame as she glared at Chloé. She had just ordered Sabrina to do something. Unfortunately, Alya wasn't able to hear what the order was since she just came. But she had her suspicions when she saw Sabrina work on something in the back of the room where a large bookshelf was. "We've had enough of your tricks, okay."

"Me? Making tricks? No. I'm just participating in this spooky theme of yours by setting up a totally innocent little spooky... trap. It's a fun one too." she tried, but Alya could tell by that voice the brat had a "black tongue" in her mouth. The lie was obvious, but she didn't have time for Chloé's nonsense, "Ugh! Okay, okay, but you better be careful. Whatever you're doing it has to be something that'll NOT lead to a hospital visit. I'm keeping an eye on you!" she said before walking out again. She was so mad at Chloé but tried to defeat the feeling since she didn't have time for it. When she let her anger show in a frustrated groan she heard Nino.

"Alya, what's wrong?" he asked when he got up next to her.

Relieved about the fact that he always helps her get better she let out a sigh, "It's Chloé again, she's planning something bad. I can feel it. She says it's just some innocent little spooky trap but... why did it have to be in the same room some are gonna sleep in?"

Nino didn't seem surprised, "Which room was it?" he asked and looked at where she was pointing, his eyes widened a little, "Oh, doesn't really surprise me. It's another dumb idea to separate Adrien from Marinette. It's the room the four of use are gonna sleep in, don't you remember?" he explained, Alya slapped her forehead when remembering before she groaned and was about to rage but a finger on her lips stopped her from letting it out, "BUT, we have nothing to worry about. They're both smarter than that, and who knows, Chloé will surely accuse us for sabotaging her participation in a simple spooky sleepover if we try anything."

Alya let out a sigh when his finger left her lips, "You're right. But we can't let her get away with it if they'll get hurt or something worse..."

Nino suddenly tried to stop a laugh but failed, "W-... when has Chloé ever managed to separate them before? She's not even been near, even when she left a letter in Marinette's locker with a fake text from some heartbroken guy who claimed to be her ex-boyfriend. They both understood immediately, so why would this little trap be anything different?" he pointed out to a smiling Alya.

She sighed and let her head rest on his shoulder, "Thanks, Nino. Got anything on the list? I need something to do."

Nino shrugged, "Meh, not much, we just have to wait for Kim, Max and Alix. They went to buy some things we need. I hope The Late Ones will be back soon, they got things to do."

"...and sometimes I go to the Trocadéro to get inspiration, it's mostly calm and fresh air makes it easier to get an idea. It was there I got inspiration for the derby hat." said Marinette and breathed out quietly, the conversation had been going on for some time and she actually got less nervous. Even if Gabriel was a mysterious man he still had a heart to listen and actually look happy. And with Adrien by her side she felt much more safe, after all, he's been there since they first fought crime which is much more dangerous than talking to his father. Or, at least she hopes so.

"Fascinating, it's quite an obvious choice to go to such unique places. Years ago I used to walk there and look at the statues and remember the fashion back in the old days. It was really inspiring." said Mr Agreste and smiled.

A ring tone was heard and Adrien picked up his phone, "Oh, it's Alya. She's wondering when we'll be back. They're almost done already." he said and got up. Marinette and Gabriel got up on their feet too and shook hands.

"It was really nice to meet you, miss Marinette. I hope we'll see each other again soon."

"You too, Mr Agres- Gabriel, sir. I hope so too." she said and smiled.

The two teens went out of the room and towards Adrien's room to get some things he needed. "Adrien, he doesn't seem to be as creepy as you said he was."

Adrien was packing a bag on his bed and answered without looking at her, "Be happy you don't live with him. Now where is that box..." he said and searched on his table.

Curiosity hit her and she looked at him as he tried to find the object, "What box?"

He got down on his knees and searched under the table, "Ah! Found it! It's a box with camembert for Plagg, I try my best to hide it from him but sometimes it's hard to remember the hiding places. This cheese is stinky and expensive, it's really not something to waste."

Marinette chuckled, "Well, if it's so stinky then why not just follow the smell?"

"You mean the smell I got all over me." he stated and they both chuckled as they went to the door. As they exited the house they didn't notice a tall figure looking at them through the gap between two doors. Blue eyes followed them 'til they were out of the house. Then the doors closed.

The man turned around and went through a secret passage and to a dark room. "Nooroo, I might have a new plan to get what I want, but I'm afraid it's gonna need some extra skill, a better strategy... and some cruelty." he sighed.

Alya stood at the top of the stairs with her arms crossed as she watched her two friends run up the stairs, "And where have you guys been?" she asked.

Marinette took two deep breaths before answering her friend's question, "We just had to pick up some things at my place, is that so bad?" she asked and gave a questioning look. She knew even Alya could see them trying to catch their breaths after their little run from the bakery with their heavy bags.

The girl laughed, "Jelax, Mari. I just wanted to see if you could give me a good enough reason without stammering too much." she explained and grabbed two of the bags the couple had taken with them, "Come on, the others are waiting. And what's in these bags anyway? They're heavy."

"Oh, you know dad... and the fact that mother still thinks fifty croissants aren't enough for our class." Marinette explained and joined her two friends in a laugh.

"But why did you let them? I mean, we've already decided to take food with us." she asked.

"Don't worry, if there'll be anything left we can just give them away to the other classes. Or maybe even sell them cheaper than the original price and give the money to charity or to the sixth graders' travel funds." Adrien suggested.

The girls thought it was a great idea. They decided to ask the others later, now the teams needed to do their parts to get ready for the spooky walk, the movies and their sleeping places. And after getting some things done it was time for the movies. Everybody was set in the room with some pillows and blankets for comfort on their wooden seats. Well, at least most of them were sitting on their usual spots. Some had moved to sit with others, for example the cute couple who sat on the front seats with a cozy blanket wrapped around each other. They didn't just have the blanket to get cozy, they were also hiding their kwamis under it to hide them from the others but enough to give them a clear view of the screen so they wouldn't get bored. And they did have a backup plan if someone would spot their kwamis. They'd just simply say it's their small stuffed animals and if they saw them moving then they'd say they're robotic.

Kim, Max and Alix had their own group and were responsible for the spooky walk and since they'd already seen the movie they were gonna fix the last things for the spooky walk. Ivan and Mylène sat together enjoying some popcorn while waiting for the movie to start. Juleka, Rose and Nathanaël sat together since Rose saw Nath alone and, sweet as she is, invited him to sit with them. And then there was Sabrina and Chloé, they sat as usual on their seats and enjoyed their own candy.

Alya and Nino sat together also with a blanket around them, Alya was really happy everything had gone as planned.

"Alright, everything is good to go? Then let's watch the movie." said the new supply teacher and clicked on 'play' on the remote and the movie started. She fixed the sound so it was not too loud or too low as the music began. A young boy stood in a crescent moon and he caught one of the falling snowflakes with his hand. Then he tossed it up and with his staff he shot it away towards the camera and it followed the snowflakes as it also zoomed out revealing the full DreamWorks logo.

Not far away, just a few blocks from the school there was a really dark neighborhood. Since the sun was almost gone to leave the world to the hands of the moon and the stars most of the people living in that block were inside their homes. But not all. A young girl and her friend where out, they were taking a break from homework. Up on the roof.

"You sure we're allowed to be hanging out on the roof, E?" the girl's friend asked.

The girl looked up from her scrapbook, "Of course, I come up here a lot. I know these rooftops better than my room." she explained as if it was already obvious.

The two girls had been having fun all day long with some other friends, now they were gonna have a sleepover. The first girl was lying on her front with her notebook on the roof before her as she's drawing and writing in it. Her friend was leaning against a chimney, she laughed. "You're crazy, girl." she sighed, "But I understand you. This view is way better than from your window. And this air..." she took a deep breath with her eyes closed as she enjoyed the fresh air, "it's just amazing."

"M-hm." the girl nodded and sighed without moving her focus away from the book. Her friend saw that. She grinned.

"Do you bring him up here often?"

"Who?" she asked still focused on the book.

Her friend got shocked, she could've sworn her friend was deeply in thought about the boy she'd been hanging out with the whole day; the boy who turned her into an akuma about a month ago who then became a new best friend. And by the looks of if she even liked him more than that. "Eh... duh." she said and gave her a look that made her realize who she was talking about.

She laughed, "Do- do you really think my thoughts are all about Dan?" she asked and sat up, "If they were then why would I be up here without him? Yes, I do bring him up here sometimes. He loves the view too. He loves the rooftops as much as I do. Or... at least that's what he says. Which surely means it is true." she explained and got up with her notebook open in her hand. She used the pen a little more, making some finishing touches.

"I guess so. But anyhow, what's up with the notebook? Drawing some cute pics or writing a poem?" her friend asked and got up as well.

The girl gave an annoyed look, "Very funny, Estie. But I can't tell you, it's a secret. TOP secret."

Estelle moaned, "Not this again. You know I'm tired of begging you to tell me so you can might as well just tell now."

"Then why beg if you're so tired of it. And if you're so tired then I have a bigger chance to keep it a secret." she laughed.

"Erika Braise, you tell me right now or you won't be able to sleep tonight." Estelle tried but she knew how stubborn her friend was.

Erika tried not to laugh too hard, "What? Are you gonna tickle me til I'm out of breath? I'm just messing with you, Estelle. If you really wanna know... then I'm gonna tell you. I'm making a uniform for someone. I don't know who 'cause she sent me a letter incognito. She told me she'd pay well if the suit is good enough for battle and-"

"YOU'RE MAKING A SUIT FOR A SUPERHERO?!" Estelle interrupted, her eyes were wide and her hands were close to her mouth in a freaked out gesture.

"He he, not really. She said she was not super but she was gonna do her best to help the heroes defend the civilians if something would go wrong. While they're focusing on the akuma she focuses on the civilians so they won't get hurt. Easy as that!"

"Still awesome though! I gotta talk to Alya about this!"

Alya was one of Estelle's many idols, she was one of the first followers of the Ladyblog. Ever since the heroes first showed up the two girls had been going crazy about wanting to be just like them. They had been cosplaying and followed their adventures, even tried to get closer to their battles in order to get to know more about them. Erika knew what to say, she wanted to do it even if it meant more work. "If you want I can try to make a deal with this mysterious girl so she'll try to get info about the heroes that you can share with Alya."

The blond girl gasped, "Really!? You'd do that for me?" she asked very excitedly. With her hands still close to her mouth.

Erika went to stand in front of her friend and take her hands, "You got a friend who's willing to help, it's the least I can do for you. And who knows, maybe this mysterious girl really wants to do it too." said Erika and smiled.

"I'd be amazing, Erika." Estelle smiled, she winced when she heard Erika's father call from below them.

"Girls! Estelle's things are here! Time for the movie!"

"We're coming!" Estelle called down the window to Erika's room. She then turned to Erika, "You coming?"

Erika looked out and saw the sun's last lights before turning back to her friend, "I'll be right behind ya. Just need a minute." she said and gave her a reassuring smile. She saw as her friend smiled back and went down the window, the sound of the old ladder was heard as she went down. Erika turned back to see the last lights of the sun disappear in the horizon. She looked down in her notebook where she saw a finished design of the suit, on the other page there was a design for a shield to it.

"I think I'm gonna try it tonight." she said and smiled.

The students were watching as the screen showed Jack Frost as he flew past buildings as he helped Jamie travel on the streets safely on his sledge. It only caused a little trouble for others of course. The ice forming a path for the sledge to slide on was forming as they moved.

Most of the students were having real fun watching it. But there was three students that had fun doing something else, namely, to get things ready for the spooky walk.

The supply teacher was going to check up on how things were going, but when she was calling their names she didn't get any answer. She started to freak out a little. She went from room to room only to find them empty, only the rooms for the spooky walk had things in them but no Kim, Max or Alix.

"Kim? Max? Alix? Where are you guys!?" she cried out, she was getting really worried. What a great first day at work!

She went to another room when she suddenly heard a door slam and the lights were flickering. Movements came from everywhere and at first she thought it was just a joke "Ha ha, very funny. Come out now." she tried, but deep inside she couldn't stay calm so easily. The lights disappeared in a flash and everything went dark and quiet. The only thing she could hear was her own breath and the beat of her heart as it calmed down. She was about to take a step forward when out of nowhere came a very tall figure with a big hat and large coat. Small green pupils stared down at her. She let out a loud shriek as she tried to run away but stumbled on seats and tables. The furniture followed her down to hit the floor with a loud crash. She held up her arm in defense but lowered it when she heard laughs from the figure.

"You should've seen your face!" Alix laughed as she removed the hat. The coat opened and the supply teacher could see Alix sitting on Kim's shoulders. "This will be PERFECT for the ghost walk!" she announced. She turned to see Max popping up from behind a table with a remote in his hand, he was surely the one flickering with the lights.

The supply teacher's face went from shocked to mad, "What do you think you're doing!? Giving me a heart attack!?"

"Pretty much, I mean, it's what ghost walks are for!" answered Alix as she jumped down from her friend's shoulders.

"Well, you better be more careful with the others, we don't want any accidents here!" she reminded them as she got up from the floor and fixed the fallen furniture.

"Don't worry, we've been dealing with akumas and they've been bigger threats than this. Plus, they know this is fake!" Kim explained, he seemed to be sure about what he was talking about.

"But you can't make it too scary! What if someone is too tired to remember that it's not dangerous at all. I know you're good at this but you can't do it too much when this is just a small ghost walk!" she argued. But the response wasn't worth it.

"Oh, seems like the new teacher is too scared. Can't handle a little fear? Then maybe this school isn't for you! We like it scary, and when we say scary then we really mean breathtakingly scary!" Alix teased.

But what Alix didn't know that what she'd just said had made the supply teacher so angry, her anger was enough to catch a certain villain's attention.

As the supply teacher stormed out of the room a large window opened not far away.

Okay! Done! ...in the middle of the night. Might have some wrongs in it. ^^;

So, I think you already know what's coming up next... if you don't then I give you a hint which is "Akuma".
And the character called Erika. That's my OC! I couldn't stop myself from adding her into the story, I have so many ideas for her! ^^

I hope the next chapter will be done soon 'cause I think I enjoy writing it more than you reading it. :)

Á plus! ;D
