I own nothing not even this computer, please remember to read and review as that gives me a reason to go on. Hope to put out a few more chapters soon.

"You do realize that this makes maybe negative sense right? Absolutely zero rational sense." Max spoke dryly as he followed the larger boy through the busy city streets. It was after school and no one had spotted Marinette since she slapped Adrien in the face and ran off. Soon afterwards Alya had disappeared presumably to comfort her friend, thirty seconds later Chloe had stormed out along with Sabrina. Kim, Max and Alix were unable to talk for the remainder of the day as the teacher was hyper aware that almost half the class was absent and the other half was acting weirder than usual.

"Look Max if I worried about rationality I would never get anything done. Remember during that track meet where I fell down? I haven't told anyone but I twisted my ankle. Hurt like crazy but I ignored it and ran through the pain. I came in first place that day." Kim stood proudly his chest puffed out and his hands on his hips gazing triumphantly into the distance. Max looked where he was looking, it was nowhere special or really meaningful, just some birds flapping around a tree.

"That is really terrible for your muscles you know. You jock meatheads. That still doesn't make sense as why we're here instead of at-"
"He won't talk to me but we need to keep this entire thing going. So we show up here instead." Kim opened the door and waltzed right in as if he owned the place. Max rubbed his temples, he regretted every single action that he had taken over the last few days. He had thought he was playing chess, but it was more like he was playing chest while they were playing twister.

"On the plus side at least now you know he likes your butt." Alya tried to remain helpful. She had walked Marinette home and had just been sitting next to her rubbing her back while she screamed into her pillow. "Which is weird, I always thought he wasn't into that part of a girl."

Marinette moaned again and Alya leaned closer to try and make out what she was saying.
"Come again?"
"I slapped his beautiful perfect face Alya. There's no going back from this. I should just tell my parents to homeschool me, or send me to Finland. I can never face Adrien again." Marinette slapped her face back down into the pillow and mushing it down so that she was pressed back into the furnace like heat. It had collected all of the warmth from her head and she looked as flushed as a cooked ham.
"Girl we've been over this a thousand times. He doesn't hate you, in fact you reacted pretty well for unexpectedly getting a compliment from the love of your life." Alya said using air quotes around 'love of your life' She was trying to cheer up her friends spirits but she was finding it a bit hard. Her own mind just kept on going back to Alix. The pink headed goblin had been keeping a low profile ever since Alya and Marinette stormed out of the room. And now the intrepid girl reporter was wondering how she planned on getting Adrien and Marinette on a date, and on top of that make sure that Marinette actually kept to the plan with the flirting after the fiasco at the school. And manage to pull all of this off within the next few hours as the surprise double date was supposed to be happening that night.

Alya really questioned the mindset of her friends. If they were really pushing the buck for all of this to happen in like three days start to finish, they must have either planned it all really well or were flying by the seats of their pants hoping for the very best.

Knowing Kim and Alix it was probably by the seats of their pants, knowing Max it was probably all maliciously and scarily organized.

"Marinette?" A soft musical voice called up to her from the trap door as it was slowly eased open and Sabine's head came through. She was used to her daughters mood swings and had placed a plate of baked goods for her and Alya after seeing if everything was all right. She looked up at her daughters lofted bed and Alya's bright hair. Alya looked over and blinked at her owlishly.
"What?" Marinette called over the side, just loud enough to be heard through the pillow that was covering her bright red and screamed out face.
"You have a couple of visitors." Without waiting for any more introduction Kim shouldered his was past the older woman with Max apologizing for his friends rudeness. Alya looked quizzically at the two boys. She had been expecting Alix to come walking in, not those two. She smelt something slimy and underhanded brewing between the definitely polygamist trio.

"HEY! Marinette!" Kim said as he entered the room without an invitation, he looked around and gave a bit of a whistle, it was a pretty nice room.
"Oh. Hi Kim. Max." Marinette sat up and wiped her face a few times to get off the sweat, tears and spit that had accumulated since she began screaming into the pillow. "What are you two doing here?" She said as her mother retreated back down the steps leaving the two girls with the guests.
"Well we sort of know what Alix has been putting you up to do lately. And after what happened with Adrien." Marinette groaned at his name and flung herself backwards nearly hitting her head off of the wall.

"Is she alright?" Max called up to Alya, she shrugged her shoulders helplessly, her friend was in a pretty sorry state at the moment and she wasn't sure how long it was going to last.
"Anyway, we know how she was supposed to go out with Alix tonight, but since Alix figured you wouldn't want to see her after the little incident she asked us to show up and help her out instead. Pretty good deal right?"
"How is any of this good? Marinette is humiliated, Adrien is maimed and you all are still expecting her to get up and get ready for a date that she didn't want to go on in the first place in a matter of hours? IT's crazy people talk!" Alya shouted down growing more and more upset with every word. Max and Kim exchanged concerned looks, they had expected a little resistance from Marinette that was to be expected after the fiasco that was their school day. But Alya was being as territorial as a mother puma right at the moment. And neither of them really had the guts to go up there and try and talk her into letting them use Marinette for the remainder of the evening.

"Alya it's fine." Kim tried to say raising his hands as if to shush her. Alya bristled and her pupils covered her entire eye. Kim lowered his hands immediately looking shamefully down.
"Tell me then, what part of any of this is fine?"
"Alya it is fine." Marinette slowly sat back up, her legs crossed and her back straight. Her hair looked like a mess and her eyes looked a little red from the screaming and the running make up that Alix had her wear.
"But these guys are saying-"
"I know, but I promised Alix, even though I hate to do it, I'll help her out." Alya shook her head in disappointment. Her best friend was too nice sometimes. Helping out a bunch of crazy people. Letting them exploit her for their own nefarious purposes. Sure they were all setting her up on a date with the guy of her day dreams. But it was sleazy and had gotten drastically out of hand.

"But Marinette..." Alya said pleadingly to her best friend. Marinette just took a deep breath before she turned to look at the two boys still waiting down by her desk.
"I'm in, I will help her on this thing." Kim and Max exchanged grins before Kim shot her a couple of finger guns.
"Swell! We'll pick you up in a few minutes we got a nice fancy town car to get." Kim whispered to Max to actually order a town car to pick everyone up. Max reluctantly agreed. But not as reluctantly as Alya.

"You should really not be encouraging this." She said as Marinette slowly, methodically and depressingly took out the clothes that Alix and her had decided to wear. She sighed and looked forlornly over her shoulder at Alya.
"I know, but I promised and I refuse to let a friend down. I'll really stick it to Alix. I have a plan."
"And that is?" Marinette looked sneakily over at Alya, her grin turned into a smirk and her eyes narrowed slyly.
"I'm going to dial her flirting techniques up to a million. The guy won't know what hit him, he'll think that I'm the greatest flirt in history." Alya looked at her friend, trying to decide whether or not she was kidding, she then realized that Marinette was drop dead serious.
"Oh God, Marinette no."
"Marinette yes." She responded quickly changing into her clothes. Alix had said something relatively loose and slightly flashy, she was wearing a shoulder less top again, this one bright red with a black spot on the back, she quickly pulled her hair out and then into two loose ponytails and a pair of tight blue jeans. She slipped into the heels that Alix had forced her to do a ton of push ups in and then descended onto the make up. Alya could only shake her head in disappointment. She had no idea what her friend was thinking. But she was one hundred percent certain that it was going to blow up in her face, and now Alya just had to make sure that she was there to make sure that she was alright.

Around an hour later Kim and Max returned, Max wearing his usual outfit but for some reason Kim had on a nicer button down shirt, yellow and black jeans over his running shoes. His hair even looked as if he spent a little extra time on it. Marinette couldn't tell why, maybe it was the lapels on the mustard yellow shirt, or the way that his jeans were ironed, but for some reason she felt as if her eyes kept on wandering down to his groin. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.

"Whoa. You look nice." Kim said, Marinette smiled in response.
"Thanks, so where exactly are we going and uh did Alix tell you who...exactly...that is to say...who it is that I'm going on this blind date with? I mean she wanted me to help her out on it for some reason but she never actually said who it was I would be paired up with..." Kim's eyes sparkled at this news, oh this was going to be good! He got to ruin the surprise and probably on top of that throw Marinette right off of her game! He was probably going to win with the next few words.

"Well she told me that it would be dancing at a teen club and then a cafe. And she said the boy that the guy was bringing was actually from our class. It's Adrien." He smiled and Marinette felt her stomach drop to the floor.
"A-A-A-A-Ah-Ah-AHHHHH ADRIAN?!" Marinette shouted out, grabbing her hair, twisting the black locks between her clawed fingers and her entire head feeling as if it were back under the pillow bowling to a million degrees. She couldn't breath. She couldn't think. How had Alix managed to get a date with a guy who was bringing ADRIAN of all people?!

"I can't go! I mean I smacked him! I mean! I'm having a panic attack!" MArinette began to pace from one side of the room to the other her hands over her chest and breathing in and out nervously. Her small handbag that she always kept on her jiggling up and down and giving Tikki an unpleasant ride.

"I am so going to win this." Kim whispered to Max. Max merely glared at him and adjusted his glasses.
"If she doesn't show up due to your interference than as the judge I'm going to award Alix the winner." Kim went motionless the wheels in his mind processing before it finally dawned on him.

"Girl calm down." Alya said reaching out to touch her friends shaking shoulder. Marinette had stopped pacing and was now simply breathing sharply in and out. Kim turned to Max and aggressively grasped at him, Max stiffened before looking at Kim in confusion and shock as he stocked away.

"Did you just grab my butt?" The nerd shouted as Kim ignored him and went straight to Marinette.
"Hold still." He said spinning her around grabbing her forearm and bringing his clenched fist downwards onto her exposed inner arm. She jumped and yelped, it felt as if he had just stabbed her with a pin! Then he moved his hand away and she was certain that she was having a panic attack. He held out a needle triumphantly.

"WHAT IS THAT!" Marinette shouted in terror aggressively pointing.
"It's Max's spare epipen. I knew he kept one in his back pocket. I take one whenever I don't feel like working out, instant confidence boost. Just try and ride it out-OW!" He shouted grasping his ear where a sewing needle was now stuck into the lobe. Alya had a few more in her fingers and went to her friend.
"Jesus. Okay Marinette try to calm down and breath. Max what's in those things?"
"Adrenaline, mostly. She'll be super hyper, with heightened senses and awareness, but I don't think that she should be hurt too badly." Max responded quickly, knowing that it was not the time or the place to begin listing off the complex chemicals that were home inside of his adrenaline shot. He was however thinking of the money that his meat headed friend just wasted.

(Quick Authors note due to a polite request I have added this because I have been informed that stabbing folks with adrenaline/epi-pen/things used to save folks from allergic reactions or heart attacks can/will in fact kill them. So don't do it. Ever. This is comedy about a cartoon. Don't take it as reality. Same thing goes for the next chapter.)

"So she should be fine?" Alya asked cautiously as she gathered the now shivering Marinette in her arms.
"Oh yes...well she will feel horrible tomorrow morning but she should be fine for tonight if a little bit on edge."
"Well what about me!" Kim shouted angrily pointing at his ear. "I have metal in my ear."
"Don't be such a whiner. You'll live." Max dismissed as Kim angrily gaped.

Marinette felt the powerful adrenaline flow through her veins. She felt invincible yet simultaneously like she had to throw up all over everything and everyone. Why was everything suddenly so vibrantly bright? Why did she feel so incredibly tingly? Why did her muscles feel as hyper aware as they did when she was transformed as Ladybug? She was pretty sure her heart had stopped, then she took a deep breath and realized that it was just going way too fast for her to possibly be able to feel it. She wondered how much air her lungs could hold and tried to find out before she took another one just as quickly.

She blinked and everyone looked to be in shades of green and blinked again and it was all back to normal. Her legs began to bounce underneath her.
"Look she's fine. Let's just go!" Kim said grabbing her arm and pulling her a little roughly down the stairs, out the door and to the waiting car. She held onto his shoulder for support and looked around at everything in astonishment like a child seeing it for the first time.
"Alya. Alya. Alya." She whispered into Kim's ears as they got into the car, not once realizing that the tall boy was someone entirely different. "I can hear colors."

"Okay you." Alya growled grabbing Max by his shirt and picking him up to her eye level. His little feet dangling in the air and his eyes widened in fear staring into her angered feral eyes.
"You are really strong." He squeaked out nervously terrified.
"You are going to take me to wherever it is that psycho is taking my sweet little Marinette. And if you refuse I'll show you just how strong I can be." Max gulped in complete overwhelming fear and nodded once in agreement. He was too smart to do otherwise.

Yeah I am well aware that this is not how adrenaline shots work at all and that you should never inject them if you don't need to. It is called comedy. Please remember to read and review. I own nothing not even this computer.
