Marinette watched as Alya dragged Nino away with a huff. Marinette shook her head and turned to Adrien. "Sorry about that. Alya can get a little competitive sometimes."
"No worries. You ready to get started? Where should we go first?"
"Let's head to my room. I need a swimsuit and there are a few items I have laying around that we can use for the scavenger hunt."
Adrien held out his hand, indicating Marinette should lead the way. Marinette giggled and then started walking for home. As they entered the bakery, they heard Sabine say, "Oh! Marinette! I wasn't expecting to see you until tomorrow. Is anything wrong?"
"No Mama. We're doing a scavenger hunt and need a few items from my room."
"Mrs. Cheng," Adrien greeted and she replied with a smile.
"Okay dear. Don't spend too much time up there or you might lose the scavenger hunt."
"We won't Mama. We'll just be in and out." Marinette stopped in her tracks and blushed deeply as she saw her mother smirk.
"Are you okay, Marinette?" Adrien asked with concern etched on his face.
Marinette took a deep breath and shook her head. "I'm fine. Thanks. Let's go." Sabine was still smirking as the two teens disappeared from sight.
Marinette showed Adrien into the apartment and then up to her room. She went over to her dresser and pulled out a swimsuit. She then grabbed a copy of the Derby Hat she had designed for Gabriel's competition. Finally, she grabbed her night-light.
Turning to Adrien she smiled and pulled something else out from her pocket and held it up. Adrien gasped. "You... You still carry it with you?" Marinette smiled at Adrien and nodded. Adrien smiled brightly and pulled something from his pocket and held it up to what Marinette was holding. Marinette blushed deeply seeing both lucky charms side-by-side.
Marinette almost got lost in the moment, but then remembered the scavenger hunt... and what kind of grief she'd catch from her mother if she lingered too long. She looked around and found a backpack for the items. "Here... This will make it easy to carry everything." After placing the items in the backpack, she asked, "Should we go to your room next?"
