Hey, OTPeople! The last chapter was just filler. Now it's time for…. Halloween! Yeah, I know it's November already. I should have planned this better. This chapter includes some curse words in acronym style. Review if you got the reference from the first acronym-swear. There are also lots of puns. ;P

…...

"Wow! It's a true miracle. You're not late for school today!" Alya gasped.

Marinette elbowed her best friend.

"I'm not always late," she argued.

"Okay then," Alya said. "When was the last time you came to class early?"

"Um…...Well…...There was that one time when….Okay, you got me," Marinette sighed in defeat.

"So, have you heard? Adrien's a vampire this Halloween," Alya continued.

"And Nino's a werewolf," Marinette added.

Alya's face lit up underneath her witch hat as she thought of a brilliant remark.

"This could've been exactly like Twilight if you had a vampire costume. And if Nino still had a crush on you. But then I entered the picture and he fell head over heels in love-"

"Last time I checked, Alya, you two fell in love when Ladybug locked you up in a smelly zoo cage together," Marinette laughed.

Alya groaned. "I couldn't get all the monkey dung smell out of my clothes for weeks! And I'm pretty sure I slipped in at least seven piles of sh-"

"Alya, Miss Bustier is coming," Marinette warned her.

"Fine. I slipped in seven piles of sugar honey iced tea, Miss Innocent," Alya grinned.

"Well, I am Snow White, the most innocent of all princesses. And-" Marinette suddenly groaned upon seeing her least favorite classmate.

To be honest, Chloe looked like she was going to some kind of beauty pageant.

A beauty pageant for stuck-up brats.

Her gown was so ridiculously poofy and sparkly and golden that it shone like the sun.

And not in the good way, like Adrien's hair.

Everyone looked away from Chloe's costume.

"Gah! My eyes! Why does that girl have to be a freaking light bulb for Halloween? Follow up candy kittens, I think my prescription just doubled," Alya cursed as she yanked her witch hat over her eyes.

"Did you really just use the phrase 'follow up candy kittens' to avoid cursing, Alya? That's at least three times as bad as Cat Noir's puns," Marinette said.

"You're definitely exaggerating. Have you read his quotes on the Ladyblog? I couldn't help cringing every time I had to type a cat pun during the last interview," Alya retorted.

"It must've been expawsting," Marinette giggled.

"Not you too! Honestly, Cat Noir's puns are a disease. I swear, if I hear another-"

"Calm down. I don't want mew to expawlode with fury, Alya," Adrien joked as he and Nino walked past, wearing a damn fine black and green vampire costume and plastic white fangs.

Nino wore a red plaid shirt, ripped jeans and his usual sneakers with brown furry wolf ears, a furry tail, and furry paw-gloves.

"You amazing sucker silly hellish oblivious lovable evil sinners," Alya scowled.

"Alya, the language," Nino said, clutching his heart in mock terror.

"I used an acronym! And they're driving me insane with cat puns," Alya whined.

"Are you kidding me? My fangtastic puns are to die for," Adrien laughed.

"Did you really just- Argh! Halloween puns? Really? Now you sound like a scriptwriter for Monster High movies," Alya said.

Adrien was about to make a clever pun-filled remark when Chloe ambushed him.

"ADRIKINS!" Chloe sang, practically tackling him.

"Hi, Chloe," Adrien halfheartedly greeted her.

"Do you like my dress? It was so expensive. I tried to make Daddy buy a dress from your father, but your father said that he wouldn't make a fool of himself by designing such a hideous article of clothing. So I got a personal tailor to make one. Can you believe that he called my dress those horrible words? Isn't it gorgeous? Everyone else is so jealous of me right now. After all, the peasants we're surrounded by couldn't dream of owning something so pretty," Chloe scoffed.

"Oh yeah? Well, Little Miss Pretty Princess, Marinette's costume is twice as beautiful than your golden glittering excuse for a dress," Alya snapped.

"Alya, it's not really-" Marinette timidly said.

"Oh please, I thought Maritrash here really was a peasant for Halloween when I walked in," Chloe interrupted.

"Her name is Marinette and I think she looks pretty," Adrien said.

Chloe's jaw dropped and Marinette's face turned the color of a tomato.

"Adrikins, you don't have to defend every fangirl you see on the street," she said.

"Marinette is my friend," Adrien said. "And she's one hundred times more of a friend than you could ever be."

Chloe made a frustrated hissing sound and angrily stomped away.

"For me defending Adrien you thank!" Marinette stuttered. "I-I mean…..thank you for defending me, A-Adrien!"

"No problem," he said.

Nino suddenly burst out into laughter.

"Dude, I think you really did turn into a vampire!" he laughed.

Adrien's mouth turned dry.

"Wh-What do you mean, Nino?" he asked.

"Look at your yourself," Alya giggled.

Adrien glanced at his hand, afraid that it had turned a pale shade.

Instead, it was golden and glittering, just like Chloe's dress.

He looked down.

His cloak was covered in glitter.

Adrien simply shrugged and took a lint roller out of his bag and unclasped his cloak from his neck. He used the lint roller to get all the glitter off.

"Why do you have a lint roller in your bag?" Alya asked.

"Natalie inhissted that I should take one this mourning. Anyway, I gotta go wash my hands fright now," Adrien said as he walked towards the boys' bathroom.

"Why?" Alya asked. "Just…..why?"

"He said that I was pretty," Marinette giggled, still starstruck.

"Girl, you really need to get a hold of yourself," Alya sighed.

"Well, if you want, I could-OW!" Nino shouted.

"This is girl stuff, Nino. Only I can help Marinette and her love life," Alya told him.

"That didn't give you any right to stomp on my foot," Nino muttered as Alya dragged Marinette to the girls' bathroom.

"OMG, Marinette! Adrien totally has a crush on you!" Alya squealed, once they were inside.

Marinette couldn't say anything. Her face simply turned scarlet again.

BANG!

"No way! Another holiday-themed akumatized villain! I have to get this for the Ladyblog!" Alya shrieked as she whipped her phone out of her pocket and sprinted towards Hawkmoth's newest victim.

"Oh no," Tikki nervously said as she flew out of Marinette's purse.

Marinette could only respond with four words. "Sugar honey iced tea."

…...

Yeah, I know my puns are horrible. In the next chapter, the villain will be defeated and Adrien and Marinette's class is gonna have some fun with their new powers from their costumes. Stay tuned, OTPeople! Shadow of the Elements, out!
