Adrien and Nino sat on the Dupain-Cheng's sofa, controllers in hand. "Watch ouuut!" Nino teased before slamming his cart into Adrien's.

"No fair!" Adrien whined as Nino took the lead. The little blond reached over with his foot and shoved Nino, which made him released the controller buttons and let Adrien take his place in 1st again.

"Hey, that's cheating!" Nino fussed. He hit the pause button and whipped around on the sofa to find Marinette's mother. "Mama Marinette, Adrien's cheating!" he tattled.

The woman looked up and sighed, "Why don't you two take a break from those games for a little while?" she suggested.

Alya jumped up in her seat beside Marinette, "Yeah, come over here! We'll do your nails!"

Adrien wrinkled his nose and shook his head. "Nuh-uh! That's girl stuff, Alya!"

Marinette giggled, "We won't do them girly, Kitty, promise," she tried. Now, that was hard for Adrien to refuse. His princess wanted to paint his nails…well, as long as she didn't make them pink!

Adrien got to his feet and tugged Nino down by the shirt. "Hey, I don't want to paint my nails!" Nino whined. Adrien ignored his friend, instead pulling him to a chair and hauling him up beside himself. "This is stupid…" Nino pouted.

"Watch your mouth," Mme. Dupain-Cheng fussed. Nino apologized while Alya and Marinette laughed.

"Gimme your hand, Nino!" Alya commanded as she ran around to the other side of the table. Nino slowly stuck out his hand, watching closely for what colors Alya would pull out. She took out a bright magenta as well as a blue.

"No pink!" Nino whined.

"Don't worry, I won't do much of it," Alya said with a snicker. It seemed Nino didn't have much of a choice; he was surrounded on all sides. Alya snatched his hand and took the paint to his nail, ignoring the protests and whines.

Adrien laughed and turned to face Marinette, who was digging around in the basket of polish, her nose twitching as she looked at the colors. Marinette took out a lime green and a lilac. She pinned down his hand and took the lilac to his ring fingers, then the green to the other digits. Marinette was very careful and precise, even using a tissue to clean up the spots she messed up.

It was very much unlike Alya, who just slapped on the polish as quick as possible to make sure Nino didn't run away. She could clean it up later! The whole goal was to get the color on, firstly!

Mme. Dupain-Cheng couldn't help but laugh at the scene, utterly amused at how calm Adrien was, and how squirmy Nino was. It amazed her how different the two experiences were, despite happening side-by-side.

"Alya, this is ugly!" Nino whined as the girl applied the magenta to his ring fingers. "Take it off!"

"I can fix it, Nino!" Alya yelled, hunching over the boy's hands so he couldn't see. "Just be patient!"

Nino let out a noise of frustration, and Adrien couldn't help but laugh. Actually, he hadn't looked at his own hands in a bit, he might want to look…

Marinette had painted tiny cat heads on the lilac. How, Adrien wasn't sure. All he knew was it looked cool. It matched her ladybug fingers, which made him giggle. "That's real cool, Princess…" he mumbled.

Marinette looked up at him and smiled, "I try, my knight!"

Beside Adrien, Nino bolted off the seat and under the table. "Nino, get back here I was almost done!"

"You're not gluing sparkles on my fin'ers!"

And, we're back to normal! I apologize for the strange chapter last time! It was April Fool's Day and I couldn't help doing something!
