Marinette was worried, and frustrated at the same time. Worried, because Chat hadn't gotten in touch with Marinette for five days. They one reason she knew he was ok was because everyday he was committing crimes.

Which was why she was mad, Sometimes it was small like, necklaces gone missing from a jewelry store near by. But sometimes it was as big as deaths, like a grown man found in an ally way dead. You never knew what he would do next. Yes, it had only been five days but, she had gotten used to the fact that he would come over EVERYDAY.

Marinette was also confused because the first time they meet he had told her that he didn't have a choice. But now it just looks like he was doing it all on purpose. Marinette couldn't even watch the news without crying. One, because what he was doing was terrible and ever since the last day she saw him he had been committing crimes, It was sick!

Two, was because believe it or not she missed him. She missed the midnight visits and early morning cuddles. She missed the video game wars and bingeing T.V. shows together. She missed the way he would hold her tight even when he was asleep. She missed his warm smile and load laugh. She even missed his stupid puns. She missed everything about him. But watching the news made her think she didn't even actually know him. The Chat she knew would never do something so vicious, so cruel. But then again maybe what he acted like with her was an act. The more she thought about it the more angry she got. She had just figured out she liked the guy, and he goes and leaves her to commit crimes? This was not good for her emotions.

Marinette was in the kitchen angry baking, when she heard a knock at the door.

And for some reason she thought that maybe it was him, maybe he would come in and apologies or even say all those crimes weren't him, but when she heard the man speak she knew it wasn't.

"Marinette?" a males voice called in.

Who could this be?

"Who is it?" She called back, not wanting to invite a stranger in her house.

"It's Nath, I'm sorry to show up at your house after what happened, but I stopped by the bakery to ask you something but your parents said you weren't there and gave me your address."

Marinette opened the door and invited him in.

"Hey Nath, It's no problem. You said you wanted to ask me something?" Marinette said curiously.

"Uh, Yeah. Well I know it's a lot to ask but I got a ticket to the fashion show this weekend and I heard you had one to. I wanted to know if you would be my date….If not that's fine! I can always go with my other friend."

He said mumbling through it all. 'OH! The fashion show!' Marinette had totally forgot about that. She had already made her dress so it kind of slipped her mind with everything that has been happening.

"I'm sorry Nath, but I already have a date." Marinette said making up an excuse so she didn't have to go with him. All she could think about was how that would only end up like those date Alya set her up with.

"Really? Well maybe we could meet up at the after party? Me, my date, you, and your date? How is that?"

'Well, Crap.'

"Yeah! Absolutely! Sound like a plan!" Marinette said trying to act like she wasn't mentally cursing herself out.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then!"

"Yeah, Bye Nath!" Marinette said closing the door behind him.

'WAIT! TOMORROW?'

Marinette made a list of all the people she knew that were going to the party in her head, trying to find a date.

Nathaniel

Chat Noir

Adrien Agreste

Well, Nath and Chat were crossed out for obvious reasons.

So that left Adrien. Marinette didn't want to force him but maybe she could get him to be her 'date' for the after party, in place of that 'dinner' he said he owed her. She knew he would be busy the whole time, and modeling for the show. But as long as he stopped by for just a second to say hello, that should be good….Right?

Marinette ran to her room and went to her desk she picked up the card that Adrien had given her a while back and typed the number into her phone, hopping he'd answer.

"Hello?" A mans voice answered.

"H-hi, It's Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Is this Mr. A- I mean Adrien?" Marinette heard the phone hit the ground and then a voice was back on the phone.

"Sorry about that. Um yes, This is Adrien. It's good to hear your voice Marinette." Adrien said before (What sounded like) The phone dropping again. And a faint "Crap".

"I m-mean uh, It's been a long day and uh… I'm sorry." The boy said laughing awkwardly.

Marinette giggle a little at his rambling feeling like the roles were reversed for once.

"It's fine, Um.. I hate to say this but, could you do me a favor?"

"Well, that depends if I can or not."

"Well you know how you said you owed me a dinner? Well….Could I trade that for a date? I M-MEAN YOU BEING MY DATE TO THE AFTER PARTY! I know you'll be busy but I kind of told someone I had a date. And I really don't and you and one more person the only other people I know that's going, and for a reason I can't explain I can't ask the other guy so your my last hope." Marinette said in one breath. 'Well, the normal roles are back' She thought.

"Wait, so your saying instead of taking you to dinner you want me to be your date to the after party of tomorrows fashion show?" Adrien said sounding confused.

"If you would. I understand if you can't be seen with someon-"

"I'd love to!"

"R-really?"

"Yeah! Of course! I mean I can't be with you the whole night being an Agreste and all, but I'd love to!"

"Well, it's a date then." Marinette said laughing.

"Yeah, a date." Adrien replied joining her in laughing.

After about an hour later of talking about random stuff Adrien finally told her he had to go.

So they hung up and Marinette went to her room. As soon as she sat down her thoughts were full of Chat again. She began to worry again so called Alya.

"Hey girl, what's up?"

Marinette then explained everything that had just happened.

"Girl! Score!"

"Yeah, I guess." Marinette said lost in her thoughts.

"Hey Mari?"
"Yeah?"
"What's really wrong? Why did you really call?" Alya said sounding concerned.

"How did you know?"

"I'm your best friend. Now spit it out." Marinette wasn't sure what happened but the next thing she knew was that she was crying.
"Mari? You alright?"

"No, I'm not Al. I'm so mad at myself, after what he has done, I still miss him!" Marinette said crying louder.

"I'll be over in five."

Alya arrived like she said she would, but with ice cream and tissues.

Marinette told Alya everything she could to help her understand.

" So, you are telling me Mr. Blanket Blob has come over your house almost everyday for almost two months and then suddenly he stops coming over and talking to you. Plus he's doing stuff he shouldn't. Right?"

"Y-yes! W-what is it ends up like 'you know who'!"

"Mari, Please tell me the stuff he's doing doesn't involve other women. Or-"

"No Al, nothing like that."

"I'm sure that it's all a misunderstanding….But I'm stilling going to kill him!"

"Al, He's going to be there tomorrow. What if I run into him!"

"Then punch him in the face for me k?"

"Al, Why do I still miss him…Even after he won't talk to me or see me? Why do I always end up hurt like this? What if he's never coming back just like 'you know who'?" Marinette says weeping into Alyas arms.

"I promise you, You will be happy Mari. Just like in every book, The happy ending is on the last page. Just try and get through all these extra chapters first….You will be happy someday I promise." Alya says as she helps Marinette fall asleep.

The next morning Marinette wakes up in her bed with the smell of coffee and bread wafting through the air. Marinette got up and walked to the kitchen to see Alya setting down three plates of food on the table.

Marinette gave Alya a tight hug while saying, "You're the best Al! Thank you so much for everything you've done!" "That's what best friends are for right? Now eat up you only have five hours before the fashion show starts and you still have to get ready!" Alya said after hugging her back.

"Why three plates?"

"Oh, well I hope you don't mind but, I invited Nino over to help us get you ready. You want to impress your date right? Well, Nino is a guy…Just try not to take him from me using your amazingly good looks." Alya said laughing. Marinette joined in soon after, feeling much better than the day before.

After Nino had arrived and they ate, Marinette took a shower, and Alya did her makeup.

Marinette usually didn't wear make up but Alya said this was an exception, because this was no normal day.

But they still kept it simple some winged eyeliner with light eyeshadow, mascara and red lip stick.

Next was the hair, Alya tried many things a pony tale, braid, bun, but Nino rejected them all.

"Her hair looks better down." Nino had said, so Alya put her hair down all but some hair on each side of her head and twisted them to the back of her head and pinned it with a black and silver pin leaving the rest to fall in loose curls along with some loose bangs.

"You look beautiful!" Nino had said.

Then Marinette put on her dress. The dress was amazing. And it fit Marinette's body beautifully.

The dress had a deep V cut that showed just enough cleavage, and was strapless. It was very form fitting showing her curves till near the end where it came out a bit. The dress was red till the waist where it faded into black.

And Marinette looked stunning in it. She slipped on some black high heels to match her dress and hair pin and walked out to show Alya and Nino.

"Dang Girl! You wanted to impress them well, I think this is over kill." Nino said laughing.

Alya ran up to hug her friend. " You look beautiful and if Mr. Blanket, jerk pants, Blob could see you know he would be begging for you to take him back." Alya whispered.

"Thanks, Al." Marinette said just as quiet.

"Hey guys. Why is their a limo out side?" Nino asked looking out the window.

"Is he picking you up?" Alya asked also looking outside.

"I didn't think so. Maybe it's for someone else." Marinette said shrugging.

Then there was a knock at the door.

"Marinette? Are you still here? It's Adrien." Adrien said. Adrien was going to cry if she had already left. He missed her so much and he couldn't take not being able to see her. He just couldn't help it. He missed her.

"C-coming!" Marinette said opening the door. Behind her were Alya and Nino looking over her at Adrien.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you were picking me up." she told him.

"Well, I thought if was the right thing to do since I am your date." Adrien said blushing, taking a moment to actually look at her. She was stunning. He wanted to run into her house, throw everyone out and push her against the wall and kiss her senseless…Ok, where did that come from.

"That's very kind of you….WAIT! Mr. blanket blob? Why you little-" Alya blurted out.

"W-who?" Adrien said trying not to look like he knew what she was talking about.

"Al! I know they have the same features but it's not! This is Adrien Agreste!"

" Oh, sorry then Mr. Agreste. I'm Alya, Marinette's best friend. I hope you will take care of her, because if you don't I will hunt you down." Alya said eyeing him. 'Oh, so that's Alya, so that must be Nino'

"Y-yes, Mama." Adrien responded thinking about how both times he met this woman she has threatened him.

"Hi, I'm Nino, Alya's boyfriend. And Marinette's other Best friend. And if you let anything happen to her I will also hunt you down…. It's nice to meet you." Nino said holding out a hand.

"You to, Sir." Adrien said shaking his hand. "And I promise I won't let anything happen to her, or hurt her."

"Well, lets let the love birds be off then babe." Nino said. Making Marinette and Adrien blush.

"Here is your phone and purse Mari, Don't forget to tell me if you see Mr. BB. K?" ( Mr. BB is a secret (not so secret) name for Mr. Blanket Blob) Marinette took her phone and purse giving them both a hug saying. " Will do Al, By guys! Love you both!" Then walking out the door with Adrien by her side.
