Hey guys! I am back again with my third chapter! Sorry for being M.I.A, I was really busy with life lately. Anyways, after this, one more chapter! Thanks to everybody who read, reviewed, favorited, and followed my fanfic! You guys have inspired me to do my best for my future career(s)! But anyways, let the chapter begin!

BTW, I don't own Miraculous Ladybug or any of the characters or setting. The only thing that belongs to me is the plot of this fanfic.

As Alya and Nino stood staring at them like complete strangers, Marinette exchanged looks with Adrien. Then, she sighed.

"Okay, Alya, I know you guys are probably freaking out right now, but we can explain," Marinette said quickly.

"Girl, you better be able to explain!" Alya exclaimed loudly. "Now spill!"

"Not here! Somewhere more private," Adrien shushed her. "No video taping either."

"Now you guys better give a good, full explanation for making us wait!" Nino retorted, growing more impaitent by the moment.

A few minutes later, the group head over to Marinette's house, lying to her parents by saying they were working on a project.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~10 minutes and one long explanation later...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay, so let me get this straight," Alya said, pacing around in Marinette's room. "So Chat Noir, who loves making puns, flirts, and is uncontrollable, is actually the obedient, perfect student, young model, and heartthrob of almost every single girl, Adrien."

"Yep," Adrien replied uncomfortably, looking down meekly as Alya gave him a death glare.

"And Ladybug is actually Marinette," Nino finished. "I can't believe it!"

"Neither can I," Alya agreed, looking at Marinette, hurt and angry. "Why didn't you tell me Marinette? I could have helped you. I wouldn't have told anyone anything!"

Marinette looked down. "I'm sorry, Alya," she said quietly. "But I couldn't risk putting you in danger by knowing my identity."

Alya gave a long sigh, but didn't give any more objections. Finally, to break the silence, Nino bursted out,

"But seriously dude, how could you guys keep your secret without letting it spill?"

Adrien gave a sheepish chuckle. "Dunno. Experience, I guess?"

"You guys aren't disappointed, are you?" Marinette asked quietly.

Nino and Alya looked confused. "Disappointed? Why?" Nino questioned her.

"Because Paris' great heroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir, are just us," Adrien answered.

For a moment, there was silence. Then, Alya screeched out,

"JUST YOU GUYS?! Are you guys insane?! Our greatest heroes are our best friends! Our best friends are risking their lives to save our home! How can we be disappointed about that?!"

"I know!" Nino agreed. "That is so amazingly awesome!"

Adrien and Marinette looked at each other with relief. That is, until Alya gave them a sly look and said,

"But anyways, while Nino and I were following you, we just happened to hear something close to a confession. Does that make it official for the world?"

Both turned to a deep shade of pink.

"Dude, that would be so cool!" Nino exclaimed. "Me and Alya have been shipping you two love birds, like forever!"

"Er...um..uh...um, Maybe?" Adrien stammered.

"Um-you see-uh... Not now, but maybe in the future?" Marinette stuttered.

Nino and Alya shared a look. The word "Maybe" had no meaning to it. There was no doubt that they were going to become an official couple.

"Well, once you guys decide to share it with the world, make sure to tell us first so we can help spread the word to everyone else!" Nino joked.

"I can't wait to see Chloe's expression when she hears it!" Alya agreed with an evil glint in her eyes. The (future) couple gulped.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~One Week Later...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adrien and Marinette were officially boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Don't worry! we'll tell the class for you!" Alya and Nino had reassured them.

"Thanks Alya, but please don't be so blunt about it," Marinette had pleaded.

Which brings them to the present, where Marinette and Adrien sat stiffly in their seats, hoping for a more calm reaction about their relationship, during their free period. Suddenly, Alya and Nino appeared at the doorway. Marinette and Adrien exchanged looks.

"Hey, Marinette!" Alya called over to her loudly so the whole class could hear. "Can I take a picture of you and Adrien as a couple for the yearbook?"

Everybody froze. Chloe's jaw dropped. Then, she gave a cruel laugh.

"Oh, you must be joking!" she snickered. "There's no way my Adrikens would ever date a trash like Marinette!"

Meanwhile, Marinette was mortified. "Alya!" she squeaked. "Why on Earth did you do that?!"

"Couldn't you have done it in a more, calmer way?" Adrien exclaimed, turning red. Before Alya and Nino could reply, Mylene squealed.

"So it's true?!" she clapped her hands. "Congratulations!" The rest of the class repeated it as the new couple smiled awkardly at each other and Nino and Alya smirked at each other.

Job well done.

One more chapter AKA the epilogue! Please R&R!
