I'm really bad at keeping my word, I am so sorry.

I think I should make a schedule for updates.

What do you think?

Marinette and Adrien slid into their seats, their breathing out of sync and rapid.

Alya looked over at her slightly disheveled friend, a suggestive smirk across her lips. "Two days out of breath in a row? What have you two been doing?"

Marinette sat up straight, her eyes widening. She looked down at Adrien slightly and saw he was tensed up a little. She looked over at Alya, waving her hands in front of her face. "It's not w-what you th-think!"

Alya giggled. "Then what is it?"

"Nothing!"

"Nothing~?"

"Nothing."

Alya smiled. "I'll get it out of you one day."

Marinette giggled nervously as the bell rang, turning away from her friend with a bit of a solemn face.

Once the bell signaling the end of the day rang, every student in the class started crowding around the door.

Marinette stayed in her seat, packing up. Adrien walked over to her and leaned on her table. "You alright, Mari?"

Marinette nodded and sighed slightly. "I hate lying to Alya about Ladybug."

Adrien looked at her with a solemn smile, putting his hand on her shoulder and rubbing it reassuringly. "I know how that feels."

"It's so hard to not tell her. I mean, I want to, but she runs the Ladyblog, what am I supposed to do?"

"Make her promise she won't tell?"

"Yeah, but it's Alya we're talking about. She told Nino about my crush on-" She coughed, trying to hide the last part. "Nevermind that."

Adrien chuckled as he knew what she was talking about. She blushed and stood up once she was done packing up her stuff. "Why don't you tell her?"

Marinette blinked. "You...really think I should?"

Adrien nodded. "As much of a risk it is, it's not really worth it if it all stresses you out."

Marinette looked down and sighed softly. "What about you?"

"Hm?"

"Should I tell her about you?"

Adrien thought for a moment. "No, because then she wouldn't have anything to investigate anymore. And, as you know, kittens are always the best."

Marinette scoffed playfully. "Okay, I'll tell her later."

Adrien took Marinette's hand in his and walked outside with her. They intertwined their fingers and walked out to met Nino and Alya.

Nino looked at Adrien funny. "I thought you were booked until tomorrow?"

"It got canceled today." He smiled as he said it.

"So, we can do a double date todaaay?" Alya asked, smiling.

Adrien nodded.

"Yay! Okay, so, how about we meet up at Marinette's in an hour."

The group agreed and split up, Adrien and Nino together, and Marinette with Alya.

Alya and Marinette started walking, only for Marinette to stop in front of the bakery. "I'll meet you there, just go in my room and wait, alright?"

"Okay, but don't take forever."

"No promises."

Alya stuck her tongue out at Marinette, Marinette sticking her own out at her after. The two giggled and walked inside, Alya disappearing into the stairway up to the house. Marinette sighed as her stomach dropped. "Oh, my God. I'm actually gonna do it." Her eyes widened. "Oh, my God." She kept repeating those three words as she transformed, walking out of the bakery and leaping onto the roof of the building. She looked down at the hatch and took a deep breath before knocking on the glass. Alya looked up and squealed. She quickly headed up the small staircase up to Marinette's bed and unlocked the hatch, opening it.

"Oh, my God! It's Ladybug!" She coughed. "I mean, hi." She waved at Ladybug and smiled.

Ladybug smiled a bit uneasily and she jumped down to the flower. "Look, Alya-"

"You know my name?"

"Yeah, just let me finish."

Alya stopped talking and sat on the small pink lounge sofa.

"I know you've been wondering who I am and all, but I don't think you even know how close I am to you everyday."

"You're in my class?!"

Ladybug nodded.

"Rose?"

She shook her head.

"Mylene?"

"No."

"Juleka?"

"No."

"Sabrina?"

"No."

"PLEASE DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE CHLOE."

"Ew, what? No. I hate her."

"Then who?"

Ladybug sighed. "Don't scream, and don't you dare put this on the Ladyblog."

She nodded.

She took a deep breath and de-transformed into her civilian form. "My name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, and I've been your best friend for years."

Alya's eyes widened.

Marinette stood awkwardly.

The Alya flopped to the floor. "Alya!"

Marinette dropped down next to her and smacked her face a little. "Wake up."

Alya sat up. "How are you Ladybug?!"

Marinette covered Alya's mouth. "Jesus, tell Antarctica, why don't you?!"

"Sorry," She said when she uncovered her mouth. "But, how? Ladybug's so confident and you're so...you."

"Gee, thanks."

Alya looked at Marinette, grabbing onto her shoulders. "Why didn't you tell me?!"

"I thought you'd be upset with me or something? I don't know!"

Alya sighed and stood up. "Oh, well." She smiled and covered her mouth as she silently screamed. "MY BEST FRIEND IS LADYBUG!" She whisper screamed, jumping around.

She stopped. "Wait, then who's Chat?"

Marinette blushed and almost said it, covering her mouth. "He said not to tell."

Alya pouted.

"No, don't do that to me!"

Alya giggled and pulled Marinette to her feet. "You need to get dressed, girl."

"But I am dressed."

"Sure, you're dressed, but you wear the same thing all of the time!"

"I guess that's true but-"

"No buts, you're wearing something different today!"

"B-" She stopped herself.

"Good. Now, let me look in your drawers."

Alya pulled out black skinny jeans, a red spaghetti strap top with black dots - to which Marinette said, "Seriously?", black sneakers that barely cut over her ankles, and a black charm bracelet that Alya had gotten her for Christmas.

"Yes," She set down a black beanie next to the shirt. "seriously."

"You're just teasing me for being ladybug."

"Yup."

Marinette looked into her drawers and pulled out a black hoodie. "This is what I'd be okay with."

"Fine, put it on."

Marinette put on the outfit, rolling up the ends of her jeans when Alya said it was "in fashion."

"There, are we good now?"

Alya nodded. "Let's go!

Marinette looked down a final time, groaning. "Okay."

They headed downstairs.

Adrien and Nino stood in front of the counter.

"So, I gave Marinette a little makeover," Alya said as she gestured for Marinette to stay behind the door.

Nino nudged Adrien with a smirk. "Shut up, Nino."

Alya giggled and pulled a hot faced Marinette into the room, who was mumbling, "please, no, no, no, I look weird, oh god, why am I friends with you, why did I let you do this, no, why."

Adrien chuckled and took Marinette's hand, "you look great."

Alya and Nino started talking to each other.

"Very true to your alias. I'm guessing you told her?"

Marinette nodded and tip toed slightly, kissing her boyfriend's cheek. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her, keeping one around her shoulder when he pulled away. The group walked outside. "So, where are we going to go?"

Alya turned away from Nino to respond, only to be interrupted by a scream.

Marinette groaned. "Twice in one day?"

Adrien rolled his eyes, "I hear you." He got Nino and Alya's attention again. "You guys go and hide, we'll stay here."

Alya nodded and Nino looked at him a bit questioningly, shrugging and running with Alya.

Adrien and Marinette dashed back into the bakery, transforming.

Ladybug and Chat Noir walked out of the bakery. They swung up to the top of a building using Ladybug's yoyo. They surveyed the scene.

Well, the aftermath of the scene.

They looked down and saw that Cameo had already defeated the villain. They ran down to Cameo and realized that he was waiting for Ladybug to cleanse the akuma. "So, what was the situation?" Ladybug asked as Chat groaned that he didn't get any action.

"Some rich guy fired his maid and the maid went all ragey."

"Oh, my God. Dad, why. I liked her," Chat said under his breath.

Ladybug giggled slightly and smiled at Cameo. "Well, thank you."

Cameo smiled back, "you're welcome."

Chat rolled his eyes.

"We should get going, then. Want to patrol tonight?"

Chat's eyes widened, as he hadn't approved of this.

"Sure."

Chat growled softly.

"Let's go, Chat!"

Ladybug and Chat went back to the bakery. "Something's off about that guy."

"How do you know?" Ladybug de-transformed. "He looks harmless."

"Cat's instincts," He de-transformed as well, taking her hand and leaving the bakery.

"Instincts aren't always right, you know."

"Except, most of the time they are."

"Whatever," Marinette said. "I don't want to fight about it."

Adrien nodded in agreement as they started jogging to the park. "Let's go find Alya and Nino."

They started looking around, Marinette finding Alya in a tree. "How did you even get up there?"

"I don't remember," Alya responded as she hopped down.

"Do you know where-"

Marinette was interrupted by a girlish screech, looking back behind her.

She saw that Nino had fallen out of a separate tree onto Adrien. "I honestly don't want to know who that came from."

"Me either."

"Anyways, where did you want to go?"

"Maybe just hang out here."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean, it's a nice day."

"I guess you're right, huh?"

"When am I not?

"When you thought Chloe was ladybug?"

"Oh, yeah. That's still one of my darkest hours."

"Definitely."

The two walked over to their boyfriends, giggling as the two were still piled on top of each other. "You two alright?" Alya giggled and helped Nino up, Marinette settling next to Adrien and helping him sit up.

Nino and Adrien laughed at each other. "Yeah."

Marinette giggled and started picking leaves out of Adrien's hair. Alya only laughed at Nino.

"What are we gonna do?" Nino asked, picking leaves out of his own hair.

"The Merry go round's always fun," Marinette suggested.

"But the last time I went in there I got trapped with Manon in ice."

"Oh, right."

"We could just sit around and talk."

Nino groans, "ew."

"Well, what do you suggest, Nino?"

"We should go see a movie."

"That's actually a good idea." Alya crossed her arms.

"OR, we could MAKE a movie!" Marinette giggled.

"That, too." Alya giggled as well.

"We could do both, get inspiration and then create." Adrien suggested, lying back on the grass.

"Can we?" Marinette pleaded.

"I think I'm too lazy to do both." Nino said, adjusting his headphones.

"Let's just try to find something to do here." Marinette said a bit sadly.

"I guess I can give the merry go round another try." Alya shrugged.

"Let's go, then!" Marinette brightened slightly.

The group moved towards the attraction, climbing onto their own horses around each other.

Okay, so that chapter's done. It was a goddamn filler again! Anyways, I think I'll update every Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday, how does that sound?

Tell me!

Thank you so much for your patience! I really appreciate it.

I made an IG for Miraculous Ladybug. It's more of a roleplay account,

Love you guys, I'll try my best to update tomorrow, but I'm going to disneyland!

I really hope I end up getting to the drama somewhere soon! I have a greaaaat idea.

XOXO
