Marinette's speed should not have been possible for a normal civilian in 2-inch heels. But here she was running faster than ever before towards the Couffaine boat, knowing exactly what Chloe was going to say about what just happened. By the time she reached the boat, Chloe already had the biggest grin on her face which meant that Adrien had already told her. Marinette rushed onto the boat and kicked off her shoes as soon as she got the opportunity. Chloe started to say something but Marinette stopped her. She had to catch her breath before getting bombarded by questions from Chloe.

once she had finally caught her breath, she looked at Chloe, "I'm assuming he already told you?"

"O. M. G. YOU JUST HAD YOUR FIRST KISS WITH YOUR CRUSH! GIRRRRRRLLLLLLLLL!" Chloe screamed.

Marinette smiled, "Yeah, I did!" her smile turned into a frown, "AND IT WAS HUMILIATING! I WAS ONLY GOING IN FOR A PECK ON THE CHEEK! HE JUST HAPPENED TO TURN HIS HEAD AT THE WRONG TIME AND IT JUST HAPPENED! OH MY GOSH CHLOE WHAT DO I DO?! I CAN'T DATE HIM! MY RESPONSIBILITIES AS LADYBUG WOULD GET IN THE WAY! WHAT DO I DO?! I'VE HAD A CRUSH ON HIM FOR FOREVER!"

"Well, you already know what I'll say. Go for it. But you've got a point about the whole responsibilities as Ladybug. Not to mention you're the guardian now too. A relationship would make things complicated." Chloe admitted.

"I'll call Alya over. Maybe she'll have any ideas." Mari proposed

"That's a good idea. Get a second opinion." Chloe agreed

Alya rushed over as fast as she could.

"What's the emergency? What's going on?" She exclaimed.

"Okay, Alya, do not freak out." Chloe said softly, "Mari's freaked out enough as it is. Marinette accidentally had her first kiss."

"'Accidentally'? How does one 'accidentally' have their first kiss?" Ayla questioned.

Chloe and Marinette looked at each other then looked back at Alya, "Adrien." They said in unison.

"Ah," Alya said as if she understood. Her eyes widened, "ADRIEN?!"

Alya shouted so loud that the people passing by on the sidewalk looked in their direction. Chloe quickly covered her mouth and shouted, "sorry!" Towards the passersby.

"Sorry, girl. But how? How? how'd it happen?" Alya pressed.

Marinette explained everything that had happened. Once finished, Alya couldn't help but laugh.

"DON'T LAUGH! I'M FREAKING OUT HERE! WHAT DO I DO?!" Mari exclaimed.

"I'm sorry. It's hilarious. Okay, I would say go for it but you have your responsibilities as Ladybug. and you can't tell him your secret identity because if he were to become akumatized ever he could give away that you're Ladybug and easily take you miraculous." Alya theorized

"What's that supposed to mean?! 'Easily'?" Mari chided.

"Sweetheart, we both know that you'd never be able to say no to Adrien. If he were to ask for them, you'd hand over your miraculous no problem." Chloe explained.

"She's got a point. And if you have to dip out every time there's an akuma, he'll eventually get suspicious." Alya agreed.

"That's true too. But Marinette, what is your heart telling you to do?" Chloe asked.
