NOTE: Hey guys! And here's the fourth chapter! :)

Now onto replying to a few reviews!

Linguine Returns: Interesting chapter! I wonder what Alya stole for her secret to be about stealing! (And thank you about my username, tbh I don't remember why I came up with it but it stuck)

Maybe you just missed it or forgot when the chapter ended, but Alya ended up "stealing" a picture of Mayor Bourgeois in a female LadyBug one piece bathing suit. haha. And no problem!

black neko hime: I feel like Tikki was right...I'm kind of surprised Mari actually pulled it off, though...

I made Mari do it just cause in the show, Tikki always seems to tell Mari otherwise, but she never listens/realizes Tikki's advice until the very end. haha

Adrinette4life: When Marinette thought about running her hand over his chest, I laughed so hard XD XD ...what was the call that adrien had all about? Oh my god, Mr. Bourgeois in his bathing suit made my eyes burn..

You'll find out about the call in this chapter! :) At least, an explanation of it.

GuardianAngel1234567: Just want to say dares are meant for fun. NOT FOR DESTROYING PEOPLES' DIGNITY!

I'm not sure if you're just joking or if you're really angry. lol. But well it wouldn't be as interesting if his dignity wasn't slightly... bruised? haha

P.S: I just reply to some reviews here just in case other people have the same thoughts/questions.

Thanks to everyone else who also left a review: Lala-rainbowlight, 2004sunnyshadow, mayuralover, MysNis1206, SweetWolfXD, Shadow of the Elements, book dragon, kawaii25. And Also, a PM from Rose7181 asking for faster updates, but I feel like I'm updating fast enough, so... haha

Chapter Four: Missing Boxers

Adrien Agreste

The numbness subsided, but was replaced with an uncomfortable sticky feeling. Adrien shifted around in his seat as an attempt to make the stickiness feel less noticeable. No matter how hard he tried though, nothing seemed to help.

"I'm really sorry…" Marinette apologized as he crossed his legs.

Adrien groaned quietly before immediately uncrossing them. "Don't sweat it," he said, turning his attention to the apologetic bluenette. "It was just an accident. Things like that happen all the time."

"I guess, but I…" The blunette trailed off.

The honey blonde stared at her with curious eyes. She looked like she had something else to say, but something in her mind was preventing her from doing so. He watched as her gaze shifted from outside the car window to her fingers that were fumbling on her lap. He bit his bottom lip, wondering why she looked so guilty. Accidents happened all the time. Unless, maybe it wasn't accident. Perhaps it was a dare. A dare that he was unaware of. After witnessing Kirsten's attitude in the school today, he was thinking that a dare involving taking pictures all over Paris was a little too easy. Now, spilling a smoothie on someone's lap seemed more her style. But why him? Or, perhaps, maybe she was to do it to anyone, and it just happened to be him. The more his mind pondered over it, the more questions he had. He really felt like one of the other snooping guys.

When he was on the phone earlier on, Nino was reiterating his plan with all the others. Adrien initially didn't want to participate in the whole thing, but the guys saw him leaving with Marinette. Because of that, he was automatically sucked back into finding out the truth behind all the dares. On the phone it seemed that Nino and the others were just splitting off to spy on a separate girl or even help another one out. The foursome were at the back of the hotel at the time, and the last thing they all saw was Alya sneaking in through a window on the highest balcony. If he remembered correctly, the room with the highest balcony belonged to Chloe. What could Alya possibly need that involved sneaking into Chloe's room? He was so disinterested in the whole thing, but now he was incredibly hooked. He couldn't wait to meet up with the guys later and discuss their findings.

"What exactly happened, Adrien?" Nathalie asked, turning around from the front seat to look at him. She raised an eyebrow, and gave him the 'what-were-you-up-to-today-look?'. A look that he was all too familiar with. Whenever he did something that his father wouldn't be proud of, Nathalie would give him this look as a warning to avoid his father until it was all fixed.

"It was just an accident, really. It's not a big deal." Adrien waved his hands out in front of him as some sort of defense mechanism as Nathalie eyed the large wet stain on his pants.

"It was my fault!" Marinette interjected. "I was so clumsy, and when I handed him that smoothie, it just fell out of my hand. I am so sorry! If Mr. Agreste gets mad, I'll take all the blame!"

"Marinette," Adrien began. "Really, it's fine. It was just an accident."

It looked like she was about to protest, but instead she returned her gaze back to her fumbling fingers. You think that a stain wouldn't be a big deal, but being Gabriel Agreste's son involved maintaining a perfect image, and a stain was simply unacceptable.

"Well, just be more careful next time." Nathalie advised as the driver turned into the driveway.

"You bet I will!" Marinette said.

Shortly after, the trio entered the Agreste mansion, and with Nathalie's help, Adrien led Marinette into the lounging room - a place where the guests waited when they had a meeting with his father.

"Why don't you just stay here for a bit?" Adrien said with a small smile as he stared at the bluenette eye the place with complete amazement. To him this was normal, but he guessed to her that this was a little much. Other homes probably didn't have a lounging area with a few leather sofas, and a snack table and bar in the back. Not only that, there was a bartender tending the bar, and a pastry chef who were to make sure that the snack table was filled all the time with fresh pastries.

"Yeah, I'll make sure to do that." Marinette took a seat on one of the leather sofas.

"Here," Adrien said, grabbing onto a remote. "You can watch some TV if you'd like." He pressed a few buttons, causing the wall in front of them to shift. In a matter of seconds, a TV appeared.

"Wh-What!?" Marinette said, shocked.

"A little too much?" He chuckled while scratching his head.

"A little?! I mean, I guess I should be expecting this from the Agreste family." Marinette said as Adrien handed her the remote.

"Well, make yourself comfortable," he said. "I won't take long, and then we can continue on with the rest of your dares!"

"R-Right." He noticed the redness returning back to Marinette's cheeks. He never really thought much about her blushing before, but now he found it sort of… cute.

Adrien smiled, meeting her eyes. "If you need anything, just ask Nathalie. She'll be outside the lounge. If you can't find her, ask the bartender or the pastry chef. They should be able to help." He looked up at the two workers, and gave them both a nod.

"Okay." Marinette replied.

The honey blonde threw his dirty clothes into the hamper, and put on a bathrobe. He began rummaging through his drawers, pulling out a set of clean clothes.

"Can I have some more Camembert?" Plagg floated just above him as he grabbed a new pair of boxers from his drawer.

"Seriously, Plagg?" Adrien glowered down at his kwami who just finished chewing the rest of his cheese.

"Is there not any in your snack bar?" Adrien asked, referring to the mini fridge he had to secretly install in his room purely dedicated to stashing some cheese for Plagg.

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that!" Plagg said, perking up with happiness. The kwami zoomed across the room to the hidden mini fridge to grab himself another slice. "So, I thought you wanted to scour the city for LadyBug. Why are you helping out the girl downstairs?" He immediately zoomed back to the honey blonde who decided on a new pair of socks.

Adrien looked over to Plagg, the smell of Camembert wafting over his nose. "I want to know what dares she has to complete."

"Couldn't you just ask?"

"No, she and all the other girls all seem to not want to share their dares. If I'm lucky, maybe Marinette will tell me. I'm pretty sure touring all over Paris while taking pictures isn't one of them. It just seems too easy." Adrien walked over to the bathroom, and then glanced back at Plagg who just finished downing another slice. "You better not eat too much! I'm not restocking that fridge for a long while!" He glared at his kwami before closing the door behind him.

Adrien placed his new set of clothes on top of the counter before removing his robe and stepping into the shower. He turned on the water, and adjusted the settings as it hit his naked body. He decided to might as well wash his hair, so he began to lather his tresses in his shampoo. As he reached for the soap, he suddenly felt a breeze sneak its way into his shower.

Curious, Adrien moved the curtains aside and quickly scanned the room. He noticed that the window was now open, but shrugged and returned to his wash. The window in his washroom was always finicky. The lock was pretty loose, and always seemed to open on its own. He didn't think it was something he should be worrying too much about.

After his short, but still satisfying shower, Adrien stepped out and dried himself off. With nothing but a towel draped around his waist, Adrien sauntered over to the counter. As he continued to dry off his hair, he reached over, intending to put on his boxers first, but was taken aback to find that they were no longer there.

"What?" he questioned. "I swore I brought a pair in here…"

He scratched his head, befuddled as he left the washroom to grab another pair of boxers.

"That really was a quick shower," Plagg said while watching TV, eating yet another piece of cheese. "Also I think I saw LadyBug zoom by the window, but I could be dreaming. I mean you never stop talking about her. For all I know, it could have been an actual ladybug."

"Don't make me take away your cheese!" Adrien said as he grabbed another pair of boxers. Plagg seemed completely unshaken by his threat.

As he walked back to the washroom, he was starting to think that installing that mini fridge for Plagg was a bad idea. If kwami's were able to gain weight Plagg would seriously be fat by now. He probably wouldn't even be able to levitate if that were to happen.

He closed his door behind him and slipped into his pair of boxers. As he continued with dressing himself, LadyBug began to ponder his mind. Did she really just zoom by? What was she doing? Was she patrolling the city? That seemed to be the only logical explanation.

Adrien sighed as he walked over to the window. He stuck his head out, feeling the cool breeze hit his face. He scanned the city, trying to find LadyBug in the vast area. She was nowhere to be seen. Maybe Plagg really did see just an ordinary bug. Perhaps it really was time for him to stop talking about her so much.

The honey blonde pulled his head back into the room and closed the window. He closed the latch, despite it probably going to open again on its own. He turned around; ready to head back downstairs, but immediately came to a stop upon stepping over something that clearly wasn't a bathroom tile.

Adrien looked down, noticing a white envelop with Marinette's full name on it. His eyes widened as he stared down at the envelope. If he remembered correctly, this was the envelope that contained all the dares. "How did this get here…?" he questioned before bending down to pick it up. This envelope contained all the answers to his questions. He just had to open it…

He stared at the nicely handwritten letters, contemplating whether or not to open the thing. How did it even end up here by the window? Maybe at the smoothie bar she was clinging onto it, and it somehow ended up in his pocket… and somehow when he was undressing it flung towards the other side of the room. There had to be a better explanation for how it ended up here, but he didn't care enough because he was holding onto her envelope of dares.

I'm sure I can just sneak it back into her purse. Adrien thought to himself, and quickly opened up the envelope. He pulled out a few Q-cards, and began scanning the first one. It contained the rules for the dares. The only thing that caught his attention there was that those who were unable to complete their dares had to do something embarrassing. But, knowing the Bourgeois siblings, that didn't seem all that surprising. He tucked the first card behind the rest to find the first dare nicely handwritten on the center of the card.

1.You must spend your entire time with Adrien Agreste until you are finished with all your dares.

Adrien let out an 'Oh' in realization. That clearly explained her 'tour Paris for the entire day'

thing. That didn't seem so bad, but it seriously raised more questions. Why him?

Adrien tucked the first dare behind the rest to continue on with the next one. He was a bit disappointed to see the number three on this one, instead of the number two. Thinking that the cards were out of order, Adrien lifted the current card to see if the next one contained the second dare. To his dismay, it was just a ripped Q-card with the bottom ripped in half. After that, it returned back to the other two cards he just read.

Adrien shrugged his shoulders. He shouldn't even be looking at these cards, but he was doing it anyways.

"I bet Nino and the others would be jealous to fi-" Adrien trailed off as his mind scanned the words written for the third dare.

3.Kiss Adrien Agreste on the lips.

Kiss. Adrien. Agreste. On. The. Lips? He repeated the six words in his head. One of Marinette's dares is to kiss me on the lips? He began to picture himself kissing the girl who was waiting for him downstairs.

Befuddled, Adrien flipped over to the ripped Q-card. He read the top half, but was disappointed to see that the sentence was missing cause it was ripped.

'If you fail to complete your dares, Kirsten Bourgeois will reveal your…' The note was cut off after that, and because of that, Adrien's mind was pulled down further into the pool of curiosity.

"This is tearrible…" he said. He was dying to know what Kirsten was going to reveal if Marinette was unable to complete all of them. How was she even going to kiss him?

Heck, What even was the second dare, and did she even complete it?!

NOTE: So, Happy Remembrance/Veterans Day! :) I hope you had a great day!
