The next morning…

Marinette was sitting on the floor in front of her closet, throwing out all of the clothes she didn't approve of...which was all of them… She groaned loudly in defeat.

"Whyyy? Why do I have to go through all of this confusion?"

Plagg was laying on his bed in pure amusement, as he watched his chosen freak out. He thought it was hilarious when she acted like this about Adrien. The double date Alya had planned wouldn't be until 2:30, and it wasn't even 7 yet. He knew Mari didn't wake that she doesn't wake up that early, even on a school day. So imagine his surprise when he wakes to find his chosen was up since 6 o'clock! On a Saturday! What he found even funnier was the fact that she had gone through her entire closet twice already, but continued to search through it, as if she thought they would transform into clothes she felt would be acceptable. He snickered at this, catching the attention of his bluenette kitten. She turned to Plagg grumily.

"Do you mind? I'm kind of freaking out here."

Plagg coughed, attempting to cover his laughs. "Sorry, but I can't help it. It's to funny, when you look at the whole thing. Imagine it with me."

Plagg floated up to her, looking up to the distance(the corner of a ceiling, but hey who knows what he saw), with Marinette following his gaze.

"'The brave and fearless Chatte Noire, a confident, role-modeling designer-freaking out about what she thinks a boy may think of her outfit.' Oh! And don't forget the detail about how he has before, straight up to your face, told you that you look great in everything."

Marinette waved it off, smiling at Plagg like he was the newest Grumpy Cat Meme(not far from the truth, am I right?). "Well when you say it like that, it sounds like I'm just being crazy."

"Preeeeetty much…"

Marinette rolls her eyes, and walks up to a basket and rack near her Designing area. She searches through some of her own designs, looking for anything, absolutely anything, decent enough for her to wear to the Amusement Park for her date. She finally stumbles upon an old green dress, she never finished. The dress itself was finished, but it was too plain and boring, so Mari left it behind, it was too big anyways. Thinking, she grabbed a roll of the gifted cloth, and pulled it slightly over the dress. Purrr-fect!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2:30 p.m. at the Amusement Park~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adrien stood next to the entrance, waiting for the others. He was wearing a white shirt, a black leather jacket, black pants, and his b/w converse. He had on his ring(duh), and a silver chain necklace with the upside down cross. Tikki poked her head out from his inside pocket.

"Sooo, let me get this straight… You believe that Marinette- sits behind you in class Marinette- is really Chatte Noire?"

Adrien nodded,"I'm almost positive, Tikki. There's the obvious clues, with her hair, her eyes, her voice, and etcetera. But then there's the hidden details she's given as well. She basically explained her Kwami's looks, personality, everything! And I remember specifically, that Marinette never mentioned him as a human!"

Tikki stared at Adrien confused, "Yeah, probably because people would naturally expect that. I mean, if she was describing her parents to you, do you think she would add in 'Oh! By the way, they're also human'?"

"Okay, no. But still! Tikki, Chatte Noire put a picture of both you, and her Kwami Plagg on her gift for me. Her description matched him perfectly!"

Tikki already knew Marinette was Chatte Noire, but she was enabled from telling him that, so she had to pretend she was still wary of the idea, while making it still seem like a huge possibility. Her antennas picked up that Plagg was getting close, which meant Marinette was almost there. She hid back down into the pocket.

"She's almost here."

Adrien looked around, before spotting Marinette. When he did though, he sucked in a large breath, causing Tikki to look up to him.

"What is it?"

"I knew it. She really is Chatte Noire."

Tikki looked to Marinette, seeing her in a green flowing dress that ended right above the breast level. The sleeves were made of a sparkly, transparent black cloth, as was the above layer of the entire dress. She had matched it with black flats,her silver earrings(once again… duh) ,and a black purse that somewhat resembled her normal pink (just look up: Emerald & Onyx Lace Vintage Cocktail Dress)

Tikki looked to Adrien confused,"What makes you so sure? The color choice?"

"No. That black fabric...It's the same one I gave to Chatte the other day."

Marinette came up to Adrien with a bright blush,"H-hey."

Adrien smiled warmly at her,"Hey. I like your dress, did you make it recently?"

Marinette nodded nervously,"Y-yeah! I, um, m-made it the other day with this black fabric someone gave me. Well, it was actually a gift- the fabric, not the dress!"

Marinette had to bite down her tongue from rambling. She had done so great the other day, but now…

"Well, it looks amazing. It matches you perfectly; cute, and beautiful."

Marinette blushed a deep shade of red at this.

'Did he just flirt with me?!'

'He sure did kid' thought back Plagg. 'The big lug sure did take his time to return my kittens affection though…'

'Why though? I didn't even think he knew how to flirt!'

Tikki groaned lightly at Adrien's action. She, unlike her chosen, was nowhere near dense. She had caught on long ago that Marinette had a crush on him, and she also knew that his flirt was slowly killing her(in a good way of course). Beetle Rouge flirted. Adrien on the other hand, NEVER flirted. Adrien smiled at her blush, seeing that he, as Adrien, had caused it. If he couldn't make her fall for Beetle Rouge, he could still make her fall for Adrien Agreste. He slid an arm around her shoulders, and pulled on his award winning grin.

"So, princess, should we wait for Alya and Nino, or would you rather keep the romance on hold till they arrive?"

The other 3 could only gawk, and think the same thing.

'WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?!'

Marinette was red before, but now, every single inch of her was as red as Tikki, and more! Plagg laughed only quiet enough so that Adrien couldn't hear, but Tikki could. In response, Tikki glared up at Adrien.

'Why the heck did you say that to her?!' she thought to her chosen.

'What do you mean?'

'Look at her! Adrien, I would say you went to far, but that would be the biggest understatement of the year.'

Adrien looked to marinette and understood what Tikki meant. Marinette started to stutter uncontrollably, as she continued to blush to no extent. Right before he could utter out an apology for what he had said, Alya and Nino finally made an appearance. Alya came up to them, wearing a black shirt with a purple Wifi signal, purple stretch pants, and black flats. Nino wore a blue and yellow shirt with a red overshirt, and his red cap. He had on blue jeans and red tennis shoes. The 2 of them came up.

"Hey," said Alya,"Look at you 2. For once you guys aren't late, and instead your early?"

Once they were standing next to them, Marinette hid behind Alya, clinging to her shirt. Alya gave her a confused look, while Nino shot one towards Adrien. Adrien smiled nervously, as Marinette burned in embarrassment behind her friend.

"Girl, what is it?"

"Dude, what did you do?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Inside the Amusement Park~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alya and Nino ran ahead and smiled excitedly at all the rides. Alya pointed towards the roller coaster, while Nino pointed to the teacup spinner.

"That one!" they yelled in unison.

Marinette and Adrien caught up to the 2 of their friends, to see them arguing playfully over the 2 rides.

"Okay okay," Nino said,"How about this. We go on the roller coaster, and than the teacups, cool?"

Alya nodded,"As long as mine goes first. Good choice Nino."

Marinette giggled,"You just love to go first, don't you Alya?"

"You know it!"

The 2 laughed, as adrien continued to stare at Marinette. Nino must have seen him though, because when he took him aside, the interrogation was on.

"So dude? Do you like Mari yet or what? Cause you've been ogling her ever since me and Alya arrived. Oh please don't tell me you were doing it before we showed up."

Adrien's cheeks flushed,"N-no! I, I mean, kind of… I guess? I-I don't know!"

"Okay, can you elaborate as to which question you were answering?"

"Um… Both?"

Nino pinched the bridge of his nose, pushing his glasses slightly up. "Okay then… Let's try this; Do you have a crush on Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Yes or No?"

"Umm, well i-"

"Yes or freakin' No man."

"Yes! Okay?! Yes!-"

Alya and Marinette were currently buying some snacks at a concession stand. Marinette didn't hear it, but when Alya heard Adrien yell, she looked that way to listen, and she could not believe what she heard.

"-I, Adrien Agreste, have a huge and enormous crush on Marinette Dupain-Cheng. That one. Right over there!"

Upon saying the last part, he had pointed at Marinette, and both boys had looked over. They froze as they saw that Alya had been listening. She took out her phone, and pointed it at Adrien.

"I'm sorry," she said with an evil smile,"But could you repeat that?"

Adrien paled as Marinette and Alya started to walk over, holding 2 cotton candies, and 4 churros. Marinette handed them all a Churro as Alya handed both boys the cotton candies. As Marinette handed Adrien the Churro, she looked to Alya confused.

"What were you saying before? Repeat what?"

Alya looked to Adrien mischievously,"Oh, nothing."

Adrien gulped at the idea of Alya now having dirt on him, and the possibilities of her using his feelings for her friend as blackmail. When they walked off, Alya leaned into Adrien and whispered.

"Don't worry. I'm all for Adrienette, so I won't go blackmailing you… yet~"

Adrien sighed with relief, before looking to Alya confused,"Adrienette?"

"What? It was the best me and the others could come up with."

Adrien froze and stared at Alya in shock,"Others?!"

"Oh yeah. Every girl in class, besides Chloe and Sabrina, ship you and Marinette together. Besides Beetle Rouge and Chatte Noire, you guys are the biggest ship in Paris, see?"

She took out her phone and entered a certain page in her blog, that Adrien had never seen. He stared at the page in shock to see it was a poll chart, called:

Paris' Most Romantic!

The top 3 chart toppers were on 53% Beetle Rouge and Chatte Noire, 34% Adrien and Marinette, and 7% Claude Domaine and Penelope Ramosh(whoever they were). 34% of Paris(that entered the poll) had voted for him and Marinette?!...yay. Adrien smiled at Alya.

"Screenshot that, and send it to me."

Alya laughed,"Oh man, you've got it almost as bad as Marinette!"

Adrien stopped, and went pale,"What?"

Alya gulped and continued walking,"You weren't supposed to hear that. I wasn't supposed to SAY that. Crap, I'm dead…"

"Wait wait wait- WHAT?!"

Alya sighed, and looked towards Marinette, who was to distracted talking to Nino. "Okay, you didn't hear it from me, but… Marinette may or may not have had a crush on you for, like- ever."

Adrien felt his jaw go slack,"Are you joking? Cause if you are, I will never forgive you."

Alya hit him across the head,"No you idiot, it's the truth! I still can't believe you were so dense as to not notice."

Adrien was silent for a moment,"On a scale of 1-100, how obvious was she?"

"With all the failed attempts, all the blushing, and the whole stuttering thing… 125."

Adrien deadpanned,"I'm and idiot…"

Alya chuckled,"Not gonna argue with that."

Marinette and Nino walked over.

"Hey, are we going on that roller coaster, or what?" asked Nino.

Alya pat Adrien's shoulder sympathetically,"Yeah, i think pretty boy here understands now. Let's go!"

Alya and Nino walked in front of Marinette and Adrien. Mari looked to Adrien confused.

"Understand what exactly?"

Adrien stiffened and laughed nervously,"N-nothing! Nothing at all- Well I-I mean it's something, but uhm, uh- You don't have t-to worry about it! Hahaha…"

Marinette stared at him in shock. Had her perfect, handsome Adrien… Stuttered?! She stuttered all the time around him, and it was normal, but for him to stutter back?!...Why?

'Think about it kid. You stutter around him cause you like him. Soooo, if he started to do the same, then that must mean he likes you back, right?'

'No Plagg,' Marinette thought back to her Glutton cat. 'He can't possibly like me!'

'Why not?'

'Let's see now- I'm a klutz. I stutter around him all the time. For the first 2 days we knew each other, I made it clear that I hated his guts. I probably smell like Camembert and croissants all the time-'

'I get it, I get it. But what's so bad about the last one?'

'The fact that the only good thing that comes from it is a cat or a rat following me ever corner iI turn.'

'Oh come on.'

'There's been one watching me from the bench near the ticket stand.'

Plagg looked to the bench,'...Okay fine, I'll give you that.'

Marinette was so busy thinking with Plagg, she hadn't noticed when they all stopped, and Alya said something to her. Alya groaned at Marinette being lost in thought, and whispered something to Adrien. Said boy held his and her cotton candy in front of Marinette, wagging it back and forth, catching her attention. Unconsciously, when Adrien swung the candy back and forth, Marinette's body moved with it in unison, as her eyes wouldn't stray away. After a few seconds, Marinette felt to teased by it, leaned in, and took out a bite. She finally looked to her surroundings, when she heard her friends laughing.

"Well," said Nino,"Now we know what to do when you doze off in class."

Marinette blushed at her own antics, and Adrien decided he would get back into the play. When they arrived at the roller coaster, they saw that it was 2 people per seat. Immediately, Alya, Nino, and Adrien all had the same seating arrangement idea for the same reason. Alya knew her best friend wouldn't understand it, so she would have to pull the punches with the boys. Alya and Nino jumped into the seat together, giving Adrien and Marinette huge and happy smiles.

"Well, girl? You and your boyfriend better have a seat."

Marinette flushed at this, and mentally cursed at Alya for trying to torment her, deciding on whether or not to say it aloud. The decision became a definite 'no' when Adrien took her hand and pulled her into the seat with him, giving him a smile that was so charming, it should have been illegal.

"Come on, princess. No need to be afraid- your knight in shining armor is here to protect you!"

Alya held in a laugh at Adrien's words, while Nino gawked and tried to not turn around to stare at his best friend in shock. Marinette had already prepared herself for if Adrien pulled another flirt on her, so this time, she was ready. She took a seat next to him, and poked part of the leather jacket on his arm.

"More like a knight in shining leather. And seriously, Princess? I would have thought someone would use that kind of name for Chloe."

Adrien rolled his eyes at the idea of Chloe being an actual princess,"Despite her being rich, the nickname should be used on someone who resembles a Princess. Beautiful, kind, selfless, and strong. For instance… You~"

Marinette blushed at his compliments, but quickly composed herself again. "Oh really? 'Beautiful, kind, selfless, and strong'? What would make you say that?"

Adrien smiled cheekily, as his arm draped around her shoulders,"The truth."

Marinette rolled her eyes,"Yeah, I don't think it really is."

Adrien put his hand to his chin thoughtfully,"You're right…...It's an understatement."

Nino and Alya couldn't help but laugh at how their friends were arguing. Marinette blushed even deeper and turned her head away in defiance. She then noticed his arm around her, and rolled her eyes.

"Really Adrien?" Marinette said with a pout,"What is it? Flirt like Beetle Rouge day?"

Adrien pulled on the face of a 7 year old who just got a candy store,"Yep!"

Marinette deadpanned,"Wow, never took you for the dorky type of person…"

Adrien pulled her closer as the roller coaster slowly went up the huge hill topper.

"Not a dork," he said quietly, so that only she could hear,"Just a guy in love."

Marinette's eyes widened in shock as the roller coaster made its way down.
