It was weeks later and Marinette and Nathan were still happily in love and Adrien hadn't seen Ladybug in over a month. He wished there would just be some crime so he could see her again. He had been spending a lot of time with his father and he even told him about his little crush on Ladybug. Gabriel thought it was cute.
"How adorable," he had said. "By the way, if you want you are now allowed to date." Gabriel smirked. Adrien laughed at his father's joke just for the fun of it.
"Ya we will be a real cute couple, once she actually likes me," he tried to whisper the end but his father heard.
"Don't worry she'll love you someday. No son of mine will be ignored by a lady!"
"Funny dad, real funny," he had said
At school the friends were having a meeting and Marinette was not there. That was what the meeting was about.
"She is never around anymore," Alya blurted. "Always hanging out with Nathan. She never has any time for us!" She yelled. "It makes me so mad!"
"Don't worry Alya," Adrien interrupted." She is in love, can you blame her?" He smiled as he saw Marinette walking over to me holding hands with Nathan. "Cute couple." He had decided the whole liking Marinette thing was just a two minute thing. She was amazing but her heart belonged to another and so did his. He couldn't just abandon Ladybug. She was perfect.
"Hi guys, what we talking about?" It was Marinette. The group silenced.
"nothing, " they sang in unison. They smiled as she sat down with Nathan.
"Guess what?!" She screamed. The friends stared at her with wonder. "Nathan just bought me... drum roll please!" She said. "A diamond necklace!" Alya shrieked with joy as Marinette presented th diamond around her neck. Nino and Adrien playfully rolled their eyes at the girls excitement.
"Oh it's nothing, my mom's a jeweler and she said she could make one for me, um I mean for her. It does suit her though," he playfully shoved her. Marinette blushed and with one swift movement kissed his cheek and got back in her spot. "I love you sweetly," he said. She nodded and told him she loved him more. They argued for nearly five minutes while Alya asked Nino why he hadn't gotten her anything so special. He just blamed his boss for not paying him enough. Adrien felt left out so when he saw Chloe he called her over.
"Hey Chloe, come here!" He yelled. She turned, smiled, and skipped over to him.
"Yes Adrikins?" She said as she got to the group. She kissed his cheek and he was wiping it off when she spoke again. "Oh Marinette, I see you finally got over your little crush. Guess Nathan was an okay second choice right? Like anybody else would like you?" Marinette opened her mouth with shock. Nathan's face fell.
"Second choice?" He asked her. "You mean I wasn't your first choice?" Chloe interrupted him.
"Of coarse not! Didn't you know? She was dying to date Adrien since like the day he got here!" She yelled in his face. Adrien looked at Marinette with shock. "She probably just decided to date you because Adrien would never like her. She knew you would so she took the bait and you know what?" She paused for dramatic effect. "You fell for it!" She laughed. Nathan stood up and ran with tears in his eyes. Marinette looked angrily towards Chloe with her eyes full of tears too.
"How could you?" She cried. Chloe leaned up against Adrien as Marinette chased after Nathan.
"Get off!" Adrien shoved Chloe off of him. "Why would you do that? Marinette is my friend!" He yelled at her. He ran after Marinette and Nathan. Alya and Nino followed close behind.
"Geez, it was just a joke," Chloe said crossly as she rolled her eyes. The friends all caught up finally. Nathan and Marinette were crying there eyes out and Adrien was looking at Marinette with worry. Nino was comforting Nathan and Alya was hugging Marinette.
"Nathan..." Marinette spoke up. "It's true," Nathan's eyes widened as he looked away with shame. "Well it was, I used to like Adrien and I only thought of you as a friend but..." he turned towards her again and looked into her eyes. "That was before I realized how great of a guy you were. Now that I see that you truly love me I.. I really love you!" She cried. "You are the best boyfriend I could ask for," he smiled and the couple slowly walked towards each other and grabbed hands.
"I love you too!" He yelled. They hugged and kissed and cried and laughed. They really were the perfect couple. The group went back to their seats and thankfully Chloe was gone. After school Nathan and Marinette went out for a double date with Nino and Alya. Adriena again was alone. This was starting to get old. When he got home, he went straight to bed even though it was only 4:00 pm. He was awaken at 12:00 am by a noise. It sounded like a buzz.
"Hello Adrikins," said a voice from his terrace.
"Huh," he woke up and went to the terrace. "Is anyone there?" He asked.
"Yes baby, it's me Chloe," said the voice. His eyes widened with terror. He gulped and ran back to his bed. He hid under the sheets and tried to go back to sleep hoping this was only a dream. "Come here babe. I won't hurt you," she said calmly but still it sounded frightening. Why was she here? "Come and meet Queen Bee, the new villain in town," she whispered. His heart beat and his blood turned cold as ice. He was scared.
