Marinette had decided to arrive at Alya and Nino's 15 minutes early so that she could help Alya with any last minute things. However before she left she took one last look in the mirror to make sure she looked just right, "Are you sure this is alright Tikki, I mean I could quickly change my top or put a different colour of jeans and maybe I should wear high heels instead..."
"Marinette!"
"What?!"
"Don't worry you like fine, just have fun tonight and just try to make sentences."
"Ha ha very funny", Tikki let out a little giggle, "Anyway I'd better be going if I wanna get there early, I'll see you when I get back and no kwami parties while I'm away."
"Fine", Tikki responded sarcastically, and with this Marinette grabbed her bag, locked the door and jumped into her car.
When she finally arrived she parked on the drive and knocked on the door she was greeted by a smiling Nino who welcomed her in straight away. "Hey Mari, Alya's just in the kitchen finishing off she'll be out in a sec."
"It's ok, I'll go and see if she wants any help."
"I'll be out here if you want me." Marinette just nodded and smiled at him and then made her way into the kitchen.
"Hey, how's everything looking??"
"Oh hey, everything's looking great so far so hopefully it will taste good as well."
"Don't worry it'll taste amazing after all your mom is a chef so cooking probably runs in the family."
"You tell that to my sister she couldn't cook to save her life!"
I started to laugh and replied with "which one?"
Alya just chuckled "all of them." However I immediately tensed up when I heard a car pull up outside but then I was instantly relieved to hear it drive off a few seconds later. "Jeez girl you are tense."
"I'm not I'm just...", but I was cut off at someone knocking on the door."
"Oh I wonder who this could be?" Alya asked sarcastically but Marinette just froze. "Why don't you answer it? After all I'm busy and Nino is setting up the table." She looked at Marinette innocently.
"Fineeeeee!" She said as she headed towards the door, headed towards the biggest love of her life.
She slid her hand slowly onto the door handle and gently pulled it open revealing a tall, toned, smiling young man with blonde wavy hair she slowly took him in trying not to let in old habbits and feelings however she was struggling and just as she thought she was about to break Nino luckily walked up behind her."Hey dude glad you could come."
"Hey Nino, Marinette."
"Uh h..h..hey" she then coughs as if she's clearing her throat and decides to start over. "H..hey Adrien long time no see."
