Hello there,
Welcome my friends to the next chapter of Miraculous: My Iron Skin.
Hope your going to enjoy it as much as I had writing it and now on to the reviews.
Haro654: That would be cool, though I don't think Travis needs a Kwami.
Nakaru Uzumaki: I know, but I thought it would look more unqiue.
Boo the Ghost: Don't worry, I don't judge I only observe. I have a few idea's if Uncle J is going to appear, but I'm not sure if he should. I'm just going to go ahead and spoil it for you: if everything goes as planned he will make his first appearance in Chapter 13, maybe a cameo in Chapter 12.
James the apple: That's all I can strife for, thanks.
kyrogue23: Actually we heard from him in chapter 02, though it was only one word. Happy you think so.
And now on to the story.
It was once again lunch time at Françoise Dupont High, where Marinette was sitting at a table in the cafeteria. Alya had gone off somewhere with Nino, leaving her alone.
She was checking her phone for a news feed when she came across a Bleeter from Iron Spider.
"Dear followers, it is time to finally set the record straight in this Ironbug fiasco. No, he is not the love child of Ladybug and me. There was a mix up with the laundry in our secret hero headquarters. Though this drawing is cute."
Marinette looked over the attached art work, depicting Iron Spider and Ladybug acting as a couple as they pushed a baby stroller over a bridge in a park. In the stroller was a baby in the Ironbug suit and a pacifier in its mouth.
"He's right, that is cute." she said, before she drifted off to her little day dream, "Ours would look cute too, Tr..."
"Hello there."
Marinette was startled out of her day dream when Travis sat down next to her. "General Kenobi!" she shouted in a panic.
"I think I found my soulmate." Travis thought, noticing this was the second time she had responded with 'General Kenobi' to his 'Hello there'.
He let out a chuckle as Marinette seemed to have calmed down from him suddenly appearing next to her. "Where is Nathaniel?" Marinette said looking around the room for a sign of them, "Or Adrien?"
"Nath is in the art classroom doing his thing and who knows where Adrien is, what with having a control freak of a dad." Travis said, leaning back in his chair, "And I guess Nino is somewhere with Alya doing... Couple things."
"Couple things..." Marinette mumbled with a deep sigh, "Sounds nice."
"Yeah, it does." he said, "What about you Mari? Don't you have a boyfriend?"
"W-W-What!? No! Never!" she said, feeling her face heat up, "I-I mean, I never had a boyfriend."
"That's strange." he said a bit surprised, "You seem pretty populair with the guys at school."
"Well what about you?" Marinette said, recovering from being a stuttering mess, "Your pretty populair with the girls."
"Oh am I?" he said sounding genuinely surprised, "Anyways I used to have a girlfriend back home. But it puts a demper on your relationship when it turns out she's your long lost sister."
"What!?" Marinette shouted shocked.
"Kidding!" Travis said quickly as he laughed at her reaction, "Though she is the daughter of my godfather... Who is also my honorary uncle. Actually I have a lot of honorary uncles."
"Thank goodness." Marinette said relieved, "I thought you were in a surprise incest relationship."
"Mari, I'm from London, not Birmingham." he said dryly, "I think you would like her... Though she would be angry at you singing with me."
"What?" Marinette said, "Why?"
"Because she always dreamed of us becoming a singing duet." he said simply, "Don't know how serious she was, she was a bit... impish. Sometimes she would change the lyrics of the songs we were singing just to annoy me."
"Really?" she said.
"Yeah, this one time we were singing 'Love is an Open Door'. The opening goes: 'All my life has been a series of doors in my face'." he explained, "She would change the word 'door' with 'cock'."
The two of them shared a chuckle at the rather childish joke his friend had made as they continued to talk over the lunch.
"So I noticed you had a poster of the second 'Potter and Kent: Chronicles' movie." he said, as they changed the subject, "You like those movies."
"I actually prefer the books." she said, "Though I love the movies and the tv show. What about you?"
"Same, though I prefer the movies and the seasons covering the original books." Travis said, "The TV show eventually became a bit too much like Dr. Who for me."
It was then that the school bell rang, signaling the end of lunchbreak.
"Time to get back to class." Marinette said, standing up.
"I guess so." he said, standing up as well, "By the way, they are showing one of the PaKC movies in the theater after school. Do you have time to go see it?"
"Y-You want to go to the movies..." she said surprised, "W-with me?"
"See it as a thank you for listening to me ramble about my messed up family during lunch." he said with a smile, "So what about it?"
"S-Sure." she said, "I-I would like to go with you."
Near the end of the day, inside the classroom where Travis along with the rest of the class is working on something with a tablet.
"Hey, T." Nathaniel said, "Look at Chloe."
"Nath, I just ate." Travis groaned annoyed, not looking up from his tablet, "So I rather not."
"She looks really..." Nathaniel said, turning from looking at Chloe to his friend next to him, "Travis, are you playing some game during class?"
"What? Of course I'm not..." Travis said, still looking at his tablet, "Oh feck! Now I lost my extra life."
He finally looked up from his tablet to see Chloe looking exhausted and almost falling asleep.
"Well Chloe isn't looking so good." Travis noted dryly, turning back to the tablet.
"Maybe she's missing her BFF?" Nathaniel noted, much to the surprise of Travis, "Sabrina have been absent since yesterday."
"Maybe something happened to Sabrina... Could she have been akumatized?" Travis thought as he began to theorize, "It would explain why I haven't gotten any readings on similar energy signatures from Hawk Moth..." staring back into the direction of Chloe when suddenly, her blonde hair is then pulled by an invisible force.
"Someone pulled my hair!" Chloe exclaimed, "I-it's some invisible mystical being. Like a leprechaun or a unicorn without the horn."
"Wouldn't that be just a horse?" Travis thought as the entire class start to laugh at the residential high school bitch.
The invisible presence then grabs at Chloe's purse, trying to take it off her. She struggles, but fall down. The invisible person proceed to hit her repeatedly with the purse.
"My purse is beating me up!" Chloe exclaimed, she runs to the corner of the classroom while screaming.
"I don't know who to cheer for." Travis thought as he observed what was going on, "Oh, who am I kidding? Go purse!"
The invisible person then picks up a pen from Juleka's desk and throws it at Chloe.
Several more pens are thrown at the blonde, making her run down the steps while continue screaming. The invisible presence takes Chloe's sunglasses from her head. The class continued to laugh as Chloe ran out of the classroom.
"Interesting..." Travis thought, watching Chloe exit the classroom, "I think I might have found an Akumatized victim."
Once the day was over, Juleka and Rose had gathered their things and where making their way through the hall of the school when the two girls spotted Travis at his locker.
"There he is." Rose said, urging her friend on, "Go on and ask him."
She pulled Juleka with her towards the young man who still had his back to them. "Hey Travis!" Rose said, startling Travis so that he bumped his head against the side of his locker.
"Bloody hell." he groaned in pain, rubbing the back of his head, "Juleka, Rose. What's up?"
"Juleka want to ask you something." Rose said, pushing her friend forward.
"D-Do you have any plans this Saturday?" Juleka managed to get out, "I'm... We're going to have a movie night at my place... A-And I wondered if you wanted to come?"
"I would love to." Travis said with a smile, taking his bag and closing his locker, "Text me the time and address later. And if I need to bring something." he waved at the two girls before he was off, going towards his after school activity.
Later that day in the Le Grand Paris, more specifically inside Chloe's room.
The room is located on the top floor of Le Grand Paris in the luxurious imperial suite, entrance is through a set of double doors from the hallway into the center of the room. The room is primarily white and divided into three sections, a center room where people enter, the left side with Chloe's bed and bathroom and the right side with a living area.
The blonde is hiding in fear behind one of her couch as there was a knock on the door.
"Chloe, my darling." the voice of her father said, as he opened the door, "We got special guests for you."
Chloe's head appears from behind the couches when she saw that the special guests were Ladybug, Iron Spider and Cat Noir. "Iron Stud!" she exclaimed, running from behind the couch and tackles the male hero in red into a hug, "I knew you'd come to save me!"
"It is invading my personal bubble..." Iron Spider thought annoyed.
"Someone has a fan." Cat Noir teased as he opened the door to investigate her closet.
"Jealous?" Iron Spider groaned in irritation, as Chloe constantly takes pictures of him.
"Me jealous? Bitch please." Cat Noir said with a grin, pointing over his shoulder to Ladybug who was talking with Chloe's father, "I have all the lady I need right there."
Ladybug turns on Chloe's television, turning the four sections of the screen to various areas in the hotel where the invisible presence could be hidden.
"Have you had any run-ins with anyone lately?" Iron Spider said to the blonde as he walked to the bedroom area.
"I never have run-ins with anyone." Chloe said, "Everybody absolutely love me."
Ladybug bends down to pick up a photo off the floor, "Really?" she said, handing the photo of Chloe and Sabrina to her, "Not even with your closest friend?"
"Ah, Sabrina?" Chloe said, dropping the photo back to the floor while giggling, "Impossible. She adores me, I'm her idol!"
"Poor girl..." Iron Spider said dryly walking towards the bedroom area. His lenses widen when he spotted a body pillow laying in Chloe's king sized bed. Pulling the blankets back, he saw that the pillow case depicted himself laying on his back.
Turning the side over, seeing it depicting him laying on his front with his pants pulled down to display his bare ass and his mask pulled up to reveal his mouth.
He took a few stepped back and quickly walked out of the bedroom area and back to the sitting area where Ladybug and Cat Noir were with Mayor Bourgeois and Chloe.
"Your daughter's safe here with the doors and windows locked." Iron Spider said, trying his best to ignore what he saw, "This enemy may be invisible, but it can't phase through walls."
Just then Chloe tackles him again into a hug, "I'm sure you'll make my life perfect again! Just like it was before!" she said rubbing her face against his chest, "If anyone can do it, it's you!"
"It is invading my personal bubble again!..." Iron Spider thought annoyed as he managed to push Chloe off him. He gestured for Ladybug and Cat Noir to follow him.
Which they did as they followed him towards the elevator, which they took. Pushing the button for the entrance, and once the door closed, Iron Spider leaned against the back mirror.
"Is something up?" Cat Noir said, "You seem..."
"I thought you were joking!?" Iron Spider exclaimed horrified, placing his hands on his face, "There isn't enough holy water in the world to make me ever feel clean again!"
"Oh god..." Cat Noir said realizing what he meant, "He saw the pillow."
"What pillow?" Ladybug said confused.
"Forget it... Back to the mission." the hero in red growled through his teeth, dropping his arms, "She's hiding something."
Riding the elevator down, the three heroes were talking to Chloe's butler in the entrance.
"Did Chloe had a run-in with someone? I know that might be a lot of people but please." Iron Spider said, "Any little hint could help."
"Whatever you tell us won't go any farther than this room." Ladybug assured him, "And will remain strictly between us."
"Mademoiselle did have a run-in with someone." the butler said, "Miss Chloe and her friend Sabrina like to impersonate Ladybug and Iron Spider."
"Say what." Iron Spider said horrified at the thought of Chloe wearing a cosplay suit of him.
"I was playing the part of Big Mustachio that day." the butler continued.
"Big Mustachio?" Ladybug said.
"One of Mademoiselle's ideas." the Butler explained, "Big Mustachio want all Parisians to be deface with heinous mustaches."
"What a hairy situation." Cat Noir said with a chuckle.
Ladybug let out an annoyed sigh while Iron Spider placed a open hand to his face.
From the story the Butler told them, it seemed Sabrina had accidentally embarrassed Chloe in front of some important guests who had mistaken her for the real Ladybug.
Sabrina and Jean had followed Chloe to her room, Sabrina had tried to apologize. In her angry, Chloe had said that Sabrina never knew anything threw the yo-yo remains at Sabrina and told her she never wanted to see her again.
Sabrina had come by the next day only to be ignored by Chloe, who claimed that she didn't know any Sabrina. She tried to get Chloe, her best friend, to turn around, even holding out the rose pin that Chloe gave her as a symbol of their friendship.
The butler had asked Chloe to speak to Sabrina since she's right there. Instead, Chloe said that she couldn't see anyone, that she must be invisible, because, in her eyes, Sabrina didn't exist.
"You've been a great help. Thank you." Iron Spider said, the butler nodded before leaving, "This confirms my suspicion that the invisible person is Sabrina. She must have been akumatized by Hawk Moth."
Cat Noir grabs a rose from a nearby vase and hands it to Ladybug, "It's not going to be easy to find someone we can't see." He said.
Ladybug takes the rose and instantly puts it down on another vase, "So we'll just have to wait for her to find us." she said, sounding worried for some reason, "And we do have an advantage, she doesn't know we're onto her."
The rose suddenly drops to the floor. Iron Spider, Cat Noir and Ladybug turn around and see the rose.
"Did that flower... Oh shit." Iron Spider said activating the infrared function of his lenses. He noticed the invisible person trying to take Ladybug's earrings, "Look out Ladybug!"
Ladybug slaps the invisible hand away, before jumping backwards as she and the heroes stood at the ready to battle. The invisible Sabrina picks up nearby vases and began to throw them at the three heroes.
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug said, using her Miraculous power of creation, and in a flash of light, a glitter container appeared, "How handy."
"Looking for me Sabrina?"
"Oh bugger me..." Iron Spider groaned annoyed, turning around to see at the top of the stairs seeing Chloe wearing her Ladybug cosplay.
"I'm right here, come on!" Chloe said, walking down the stairs, "If you stop this ridiculousness right now, I might let you be my BFF again."
"You've got no friends left, Chloe." the Invisible Sabrina said, picking up books, "And you'll never have any, EVER again." she starts throwing them at her.
Iron Spider flies up with a short burst, landed in font of Chloe, blasting the incoming books away using his came flying up to her, hovering in front of the large hall.
"You need to leave." Iron Spider told her in a stern tone, "This isn't a game, Chloe."
The invisible enemy runs up to Ladybug, managing to restrains her from the back. Ladybug opens the glitter container, throws it over her head and glitter rains down on Sabrina, making an outline of her. Ladybug then escapes her grip.
"Just because you can see me!" she shouted as Cat Noir and Ladybug continued to fight, "Doesn't mean you'll defeat me!" while Iron Spider grabs Chloe, flies her towards the elevators.
He pushed a button to make the doors, before throwing Chloe into the elevator.
"Stay here." Iron Spider ordered, turning around to rejoin the fight, "And most importantly, stay out of our way until we destroy her bag and capture the akuma."
"Wait, Iron Spider!" Chloe said, grabbing his upper arm, "I don't think that's where the akuma is. The akuma has to be in the designer pin I bought her. She's wearing it on her sweater. Such an unfortunate ugly sweater. It was a gift from me."
"Right." he said dryly, getting his arm out of her grip, "Of course."
"Why aren't you listening to me?" Chloe said honestly confused, "I'm telling you, the akuma is in her pin! Why won't you let me help?"
"Why would I trust you? You lied to me earlier and defied orders to stay put, and you have a track record of indirectly getting people corrupted." Iron Spider told her as he pushed the button to close the door, "If you really want to help, you should treat people better, be more honest and know when a situation is dangerous."
When the doors finally closed, Iron Spider let out a relieved sigh, "That's better." he turned around to look over the balcony, seeing Ladybug and Cat Noir fighting the invisible threat.
He landed from the balcony, just as Cat Noir had his face smashed into a vase. Using this opportunity, Ladybug grabs Vanisher's purse with her yo-yo and rips it in half.
"Your days are over akuma!... What?" Ladybug said when the purse didn't contain the the Akuma.
The invisible enemy runs up to her, but was stopped from attacking when Iron Spider managed to grab her and kept her down to the ground. In the struggle, the hair brooch falls to the ground.
"Ladybug!" he shouted, "The pin."
Ladybug stomps it, this time it did freed the akuma inside it. "No more evildoing for you little akuma." Ladybug catches the akuma with her yo-yo and doing the whole purifiying ritual before releasing it and using the energy of creation to fix the damage of the battle.
The girl under Iron Spider stopped struggling when she transformed back into regular Sabrina.
"What happened?" she said as Iron Spider got off her and helped her back to her feet, "Oh no! It's the brooch Chloe gave me!" she picks up the pin on the ground.
Iron Spider and Ladybug holds up their fist for their victory pound it, but Cat Noir doesn't.
"Why didn't you listen to Chloe?" Cat Noir said, "She was only trying to help."
"It's not like that girl put us in danger and continued to lie." Iron Spider said dryly as he walked towards the exit, "You guys do clean up. I have therapy to get to and then a hot shower to forget that pillow."
Iron Spider soared through the skies, already being late for the meet up with Marinette at the theater. Landing in a nearby alleyway, he transformed out of his suit before quickly running out of it.
A few seconds later, he stopped in front of the theater. Looking on his phone, he saw that he was very late.
"I better give Mari a call." he said, intending to give her a call when to his surprise he saw Marinette come running up to him.
"I'm so sorry!" she immediately said when she reached him, "I was busy helping my parents in the store, and I had forgotten the time."
"Hey, Mari. It's alright." he said relieved that he didn't had to make her wait, "Let's just go in and catch a movie."
After a quick stop at the food stall to buy themselves some snacks. The duo headed in the cinema. It was already dark inside, they slide down the row, having seats in the middle of the theater, in comfortable leather seat.
"I never sat in these seats before." she said.
"I rarely go to a public movie theater." he admitted, "But when I go, I always sit in the luxury seats."
They were watching the 'Potter and Kent Chronicles: Year 4: Goblet of Fire'. They were just at the scene where the other two wizarding schools arrived at Hogwarts for the Tri-wizard tournament.
"Why are you smirking." Marinette whispered.
"Because of this scene or rather two things in it, actually." Travis whispered back with a smirk, when the French school of Beauxbatons entered, "There she is, the Fleur Canon, destroyer of the Clarry and Clarione ships."
"I think I know what the second one is..." she whispered and she had guessed correct when Travis chuckled when the actor portraying Clark Kent got a confused look, which the internet had turned into a meme called 'visibly confused Clark'.
Travis and Marinette exited the movie theater once the movie ended. They walked through the street thronged with night revelers and lined with closed shops, the setting sun painting the sky an orange hue as they sat down at a bench at a nearby park.
"You seemed to be really enjoying yourself." she said.
"I know its pretty much agreed that Year 4 was when the movies actually got good and Year 6 is often seen as the more funny one, for some reason this one resulted in so many memes. Like Emotionally Barren Clark and Creeper Kara." Travis said with a smile, "Did you enjoy yourself?"
"I did." she said with a smile, "I-I had fun with you."
"Glad to hear it, Mari." he said as he heard singing in the distance. Turning his head into the direction of the sound, he saw that it was a singing ice cream vendor.
"Good timing." Travis said, standing up with Marinette and walking over to the ice cream vendor, who was just busy selling a set of ice cream to lovebirds from Italy.
Travis and Marinette are next in line, "Ah, these two I've never seen." the ice cream vendor said, "This your first time here with me?"
"I guess we are?" Marinette said, "Who are you?"
"My name is Andre! The sweetheart matchmaker!" Andre the ice vendor said, "With one scoop or two, I'll find up for you with magical ice-cream flavors!"
"What." Travis said as he watched Andre scoop up ice-cream for Marinette.
"Peach pink like his lips and apple green like his eyes." Andre said, handing the ice-cream to Marinette, "Eat this, my dear, and your love will..."
"Um, No! I... There's been a mistake!" Marinette said, stares at the ice-cream, "I'm not in love with anyone."
"Why of course you are, my little one." Andre said, "When there's love burning in one's heart, Andre knows it from the start. Enjoy your ice-cream, Marinette."
"Apple green eyes?" Travis thought as Andre scooped up his ice-cream, "...Who could that possibly be? Who has green eyes? Do I know him?"
"Strawberry with black chocolate chip! Blackberries for her hair, and blueberry ice-cream just like her sky blue stare!" Andre said giving the ice-cream to Travis, "There's love in your eyes! Andre can see it clear as day! This love is true!"
"Uhm... Right." Travis said, still confused, handing the man enough money to cover the ice-cream, "Keep the change."
"Have a good day!" Marinette said as they walked off while enjoying their ice-cream.
The two continued to walk, talk and eat their ice-cream as he saw the bakery of Marinette's parents in the distance.
"I wanted to ask." she said as they stopped at a red light, "Why do you call me Mari?"
"Well my godfather has a habit of giving people nicknames... Guess that habit rubbed off on me a bit." he said with a shrug as the light turn to green, "Or it's because I think it's cute, who knows?"
He walked with her up to her front door, "Oh by the way, are you going to that party at Juleka's?" he said as she unlocked the front door.
"Yeah, I'm going." she said, happy that she would see him again that weekend.
She waved him off and when he turned the corner out of sight, she closed the door, letting out a happy sigh.
Walking up the stairs, Marinette went into the living room where she was her parents sitting on the sofa watching tv.
"Welcome back." Tom said, noticing the content smile on his daughter's face, "What happened?"
"N-Nothing!" Marinette said quickly, "We just went to the movie and then we walked through he park and got ice-cream at Andre's..."
"Oh, Sweetheart's Ice Cream!" her parents said at the same time.
"That was where your father asked me to marry him." Sabine recounted, "He hid the ring in a scoop of vanilla ice-cream."
"And you almost swallowed it too!" Tom chuckled, "They say that couples who eat ice-cream at Andre's will stay in love forever."
"Oh, uhm right." Marinette said embarrassed before taking the stairs up to her room to make a call to Alya to report how things had gone.
Saturday night had arrived, Juleka and Rose where putting the finishing touches for the movie night on the Liberty, the living boat owned by Juleka's mom.
But one of the speakers wasn't working correctly, which both girls failed to get to work again.
"Hello there!" Travis said, standing on the riverbank.
"Travis!" Juleka said surprised, "Your here early."
"I'm always fashionably early... or late. Mostly late." Travis said, walking up to them, "Is something wrong?"
"There is something wrong with one of the speakers." Rose said.
"Can I take a look? I'm pretty good with machines." Travis said, getting the go ahead from Juleka, "Do you have a tool kit or something."
"I believe Luka had it in his cabin." Juleka said, "That's below deck."
"Okay..." Travis said as he began to walk down the stairs to below deck, "What the hell is a Luka though."
Knocking on the door, Travis stepped into a bedroom where he found a boy around his age sitting on a bed stringing on a guitar.
He has pale pink lips, light aqua blue eyes, and medium-length black hair that has dyed teal blue tips.
His attire includes a white shirt with a black Jagged Stone imprint and black jeans ripped at the knee. He also wears a brown leather bracelet, yellow and orange wristbands, and his fingernails are painted black. He has a sky blue jacket with a navy blue hoodie underneath, as well as black high top converse with multi-colored splotches.
"Hello there..." Travis said with a wave.
"General Kenobi." the boy said looking up from his guitar.
"...Marinette has some competition for being my soul mate." Travis thought, "Though what's up with his eyebrows?"
"I'm Travis." he introduced himself, looking around the room, "Juleka asked me to fix the speakers and she said the tool kit was here."
"Yes, it's right over there." Luka said, gesturing to his desk where the kit was standing.
Travis walked over to pick up the kit when he spotted a poster on the wall depicting the rock signer Jagged Stone.
"You like Jagged Stone's?" Travis said.
"He's my favorite singer!" Luka said enthusiastically.
"He's pretty great. Though I'm more of a AC/DC fan." Travis agreed, gesturing to Luka's guitar, "You play?"
"I do." Luka said as he began to play a few notes on his guitar, stringing them together to create a melody, "I tend to make more sense with this, music is often simpler than words. Do you play any instruments?"
"Uh, I can sing." Travis said rubbing the back of his head, "Guess I'm a throat player."
"Not a real instrument, Travis." Luka said as he continued to play, "That also sounds rather gross."
"I guess it does." Travis said rubbing the back of his head, "I think I'd better go back up deck to do my thing."
"You're a funny guy, Travis." Luka said waving him off.
Once back on the top deck, Travis was now kneeling behind the speaker, having removed the back plate to get a better look.
"So... Travis." Juleka said, standing next to him as he looked for what could be wrong with the speaker, "I-Is Nathaniel coming?"
"He said he would come after he finished with his art project." he said, using his phone as a flashlight, "Ah, so that's what's wrong."
"What is it?" Juleka said.
"See this cable? It has gotten lose." Travis said, pointing with the screw driver before fixing it up with a bit of tape, "This should fix it for now."
He moved the back plate back as he began to screw it back a happy Rose jumped on his back, wrapping her arms around his neck in a hug.
"Your so amazing Travis!" she said happily, "Your our very own superhero."
"I wouldn't go that far Rose." he said with a small smile, "Maybe an above average hero."
Down in the streets of Paris, Marinette was walking to the Liberty with Alya.
"We're gonna stroll over there real cool." Marinette said, explaining her plan to her friend.
"Then what?" Alya asked.
"Then? I'll get to watch movies with him, he places his hand on my own and then, we'll get married! Live happily ever after in a beautiful house and have kids!" Marinette said happily.
"This plan again?" Alya said as their destination came into view, "Didn't you already went to the movie with him?"
"Yes, and it was perfect." Marinette said as they walked up the deck of the boat where they saw a white screen, a movie projector hooked up on a laptop. Juleka, Rose, Travis, Nino, Nathaniel and Luka were already on the upper deck.
Juleka was talking off to the side talking with Nathaniel, while Travis, Adrien, Nino, Rose and Luka where standing together.
"...I'm just saying, Star Wars fans are natural enemies with Star Trek fans." Travis explained, "Like Star Wars and Potter and Kent Chronicles, or Star Wars and Disney's Star Wars... Damn Star Wars, it ruined Star Wars!"
"It would be nice to have a get together..." Nathaniel said, "And not have Travis whine about the Sequels or make Star Wars memes in general."
"That's why I'm here." Travis said with a cheeky grin as his shorter friend wasn't sure if he just made a reference or not.
"What do you have against the Sequel Trilogy?" Luka said.
"Do you have a day or two?" Travis said dryly, before spotting Marinette and Alya, "Hello there!"
"General Kenobi!" Marinette said happily.
"For the love of..." Nathaniel begged, "Don't encourage him!"
With everyone there, they all took a seat on the couch and chairs in front of the screen. Nino and Alya where sitting next to each other, with Marinette sitting between Travis and Luka as Rose sat on a chair close to Juleka and Nathaniel.
"Something wrong, Mari?" Travis whispered as Juleka had put on what looked like a horror film.
"It's just..." Marinette whispered back, "I'm not very good with horror movies."
"Don't worry. " he said kindly, "If it get's too scary, you can hold on to me."
Travis turned away just in time to miss Marinette getting a red blush on her faintly freckled cheeks as the movie night began.
