A/N:
I know that a lot of people haven't reviewed or favorited my story but every single favorite and review makes my day. You don't know how happy i am that even just a handful of people read something I wrote. Thank you so much! XD
As promised, Adrien will make a special appearance in this chapter. And you will meet Adam. Who is he to Marinette? Well, you'll find out. Have fun reading! I hope you do! And you are always welcome to write in any recomendations for what you think should happen next. Love y'all!
Marinette examined her finished product in the floor length mirror attached to her closets door. She sucked in a breath and tried not to squeal in happiness. She had to admit, she had outdid herself this time. She was wearing a black and red, thick cotton, dress that hugged her chest and flowed out at the bottom. She had short black cap sleeves and the very top of her dress was black and stopped right over her breast. The rest of her dress was a beautiful dark crimson that faded into a nearly black shade of red.
Her hair was a few inches past her shoulder and it was curled into light beach waves. The only thing that was the same about her from 5 years ago, was the purse that housed the sweet tooth kwami, Tikki. No matter where she went she was still Ladybug, she would always be Ladybug. Even if "Marinette" disappeared, she would always be the same person. Have the same morals that she had 5 years ago.
She had tried not to think of what happened, she was about to go to a party wearing a gorgeous dress that she made. She looked beautiful. She was beautiful. Marinette sucked in the tears that threatened to ruin her smoky eye look and grabbed some red flats. She was not a heel girl. She didn't think she would ever be a heel girl.
She opened her rooms door and stepped out into the main hall in her luxurious apartment. There was no light on in Sophia's room so she must've finished changing already. This was to be expected since Sophia had learned to change quickly since she was always late to something.
Marinette made her way to the kitchen, planning to sneak a cookie into her purse for Tikki. Hey, you never know when crime will strike.
"We ran out of cookies a while ago, if that's what you're looking for. We'll have to stop on our way home to get some." Sophia said from a seat at the kitchen counter. At the moment she was on her phone, probably playing piano tiles. Marinette let out a sigh, and grabbed a chocolate granola bar. Tikki would have to settle for this until they got the cookies for her.
"How did you know I was going to get cookies?" Marinette questioned, suddenly realizing what had happened.
"I can read minds, remember?" Sophia said with a straight face, not even blinking. She was never going to get a straight answer out of her was she?
"Well, I guess we should go now." Marinette said checking her small purse, double checking that she had her phone and Tikki with her. "The party starts in 20 mins, and I would like to get there before the street fills up with drunkards." Sophia shut her phone off and put it in her dark blue purse. The purse went perfectly with her blue "dress", the one they had been arguing over before. It was made of a thin silk, and flowed over Sophia's curves. Sophia also had on gold Greek Goddess sandals. Marinette was itching to style a dress for the shoes, but Sophia insisted that she would be asking for too much to have another hand made dress from Marinette.
"I actually rather like it when the drunkards are there." Sophia said thoughtfully, "It makes the place seem so…what's the word? Homey." Marinette giggled as she opened the front door that led out of there apartment.
"Yeah, well I'd rather not smell throw up."
. . .
"Welcome, to our humble home. Please retain yourself from throwing up on the nice furniture." The host, Adam, said, not bothering to look up, because if he had he wouldn't have added the part about throwing up.
"Um, Adam, it's us." Marinette said, waving her hand in front of Adam's face, trying to get his attention. "Not a bunch of drunkeys." Adam looked up from his phone, going wide eyed once he realized what he just said to them.
"Oh sorry, sorry, I just thought that...well, um, come in. Make yourself at home." He stuttered out, reminding Marinette of what she used to be like around Adrien. Adam must really like Sophia. Marinette glanced over at Sophia to see how she was holding up, but was to distracted at the fact that Sophia's whole face was a bright pink, to decipher her facial expression. God, those two were so helpless. Guess she would have to step in and play matchmaker.
"Um, I'm going to go get something to drink." Marinette said turning to face Sophia, who was still in a coma from being face to face with Adam. "I'm sure Adam would love to show you around." she added smoothly, slipping past the love birds towards the alcohol. She wasn't going to drink any of course, since she needed to be ready in case anything happens, but the refreshment table was the only place without the smell of throw up.
But Marinette's attention on the table was obstructed once she felt a pair of eyes drilling wholes in the back of her head. She was used to men checking her out but this felt different.
She slowly turned around, searching the crowd of people in order to find the person who was staring at her. Almost immediately her eyes locked onto a pair of striking green eyes. And with those green eyes was a pile of neatly arranged blond hair.
Adrien. Was all she could think as her eyes grew, and her mouth slightly opened, giving her a deer in headlights look. She was in deep shit.
P.O.V Adrien:
There is no way… that could be Marinette.
Soon after Ladybug left, Adrien/Chat Noir had defeated Hawkmoth. He had no other choice other than to figure out who Hawkmoth was, since he didn't have the power to purify akuma's. It wasn't a huge shocker to him that his dad was Hawkmoth. Because, come on, it was his dad. The person who showed no affection towards his own kid. A person who used his loyal son to rake in more cash with modeling. The person who used Adrien like he was his property. But now that man sat behind bars for 50+ years. And Adrien had no intention of visiting his so called dad.
He had left his home of Paris, to follow Ladybug. He had heard of a black spotted hero who was whisking around New York City, defeating criminals and saving people from burning buildings. He had to confront her, as Adrien, not Chat Noir. He had to make this personal. He had to tell her how much he hated her and how all who would like to see is her behind locked bars like his dad.
But now there was a girl. A girl who looked eerily like Marinette. Like the person he had loved. And she was looking right back at him. Her azure eyes wide with shock and fear.
He would recognize those eyes anywhere.
He had found the girl who had died. He had found the girl who had helped him heal his broken heart after Ladybug rejected him. He had found Marinette.
A/N: Sorry that I didn't write more but I kind of just wanted to get this chapter out there. Adrien will not be confronting Marinette next chapter but our favorite heroine will make an appearance. Did any of you realize how strange Sophia is. Is she up to something? Well, find out later, if you decide to keep reading.
