Pre story A/N: I fixed Chapter five to push the heroes meeting to Monday.

"Master Nino, wake up, there are only thirty minutes before you have to go to your school of education" Wayzz said, pushing the new hero's face back and forth across the bed.

Nino woke up startled. He slowly raised his head from under the warmth of his covers, turned to Wazz, and then to his clock. As his eyes began to adjust to the brightness of his room, he could finally make out the numbers on its display. The clock read 7:20.

"It's almost eight? I've been asleep since late Sunday afternoon. Jeez, I must still be really tired from that akuma we fought on Saturday. Wayzz, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Nino asked, turning to face his kwami companion.

"Sorry, Master. I figured that you would wish to be well rested for your meeting later tonight," Wayzz responded.

"No hard feelings dude, and call me Nino, not master. I am not your master," Nino said to the kwami floating in the air in front of him. "How about we go get something to eat. We should stop by Marinette's place, her parents are bakers. I wonder how the dudette is holding up, considering she is spending two weeks with Adrien in New York. I wish he would've brought me instead."

Nino signaled for Wayzz to fly under his hat to stay concealed. He grabbed his phone and went to the door of his apartment, noticing her parents and Chris were out. Not thinking anything of it, he left the house, locking the door behind him. As he walked on the Parisian streets, he gave some thought to everything that had happened over the last few days. He had found out that the two superheros of Paris were out of town, at the same time, and had chosen him to help defend the city with Rena Rouge and Queen Bee. Not a day after receiving the magic jewelry did an akuma attack. The fight had taken the trio almost half the day to finins, but they emerged victorious. He was even the one who figured out how to beat the giant robot. Luckily for him and the others, Hawkmoth stayed quiet on Sunday, giving them time to rest and catch up on schoolwork. Now Monday was upon him, and he had a meeting after classes. Nino wasn't sure if he could wait through the entire day.

Nino walked into the main courtyard of Collège Françoise Dupont, deciding to wait to go to the bakery with Alya for lunch and made his way into his classroom. He looked at the seat Adrien would usually be in, if he was still in the country. Oddly enough, in the blonde's place, sat a certain brunette, known to most as Alya.

"Nino! Over here," the reporter girl called out, motioning for her boyfriend to sit next to her. "Since Marinette and Adrien are out, I'd figured we'd sit together. Wouldn't want you to get too lonely!"

"Sure, just don't distract me, I promised Adrien I would get a copy of the notes for him. He said he'd sick his father on me if I don't. You know what that man is like," responded Nino, shuddering at the thought of another interaction with Gabriel Agreste.

"Don't worry, I won't distract you! Too much…" Alya said with a wink as Nino sat down next to her. The boy's face turned as red as Nathaniel's hair.

"Good morning class!" Ms. Bustier announced to her class as she walked in the door. "I see some students have taken it upon themselves to create a new seating arrangement. I will let it slide, but if I catch you two talking, it is back to your regular seats."

"Yes Ms. Bustier," the couple said. The lesson that day was particularly boring, something about Joan of Arc or something. Nino went to art class next, joined only by Rose and Max. Afterwards, the entire homeroom gathered again for PE before splitting to eat lunch. Today, instead of eating in the school's dining hall, Alya and Nino headed over to Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Pâtisserie to grab some desserts to accompany the lunches they packed.

"Nino, Alya! How are you two doing!" Sabine Cheng called out to the schoolchildren from the otherside of the register.

"We're doing great, Sabine, thanks for asking!" Alya responded. "We just felt like we could use some tasty treats from the best bakery in all of Paris."

"Oh, you flatter us. Pick out whatever you two want. For friends of my daughter, it's always on the house."

"Thank you Sabine, Tom and your pastries never disappoint," Nino added on.

"Oh, you two are too kind, you both bring almost as much joy in this bakery as our Marinette. But no one could top her, hehe," Sabine responded.

"Of course not Sabine, but she might have different views regarding Adrien," Alya retorted. "Could you get me the lemon croissant please?"

"And I'll have the cherry tart."

"Oh you two, teasing my daughter when she isn't home. Last I heard from her, she said she was holding up just fine," Sabine said, turning around to retrieve the confectionaries the children asked for. "Now you two get on your way, I don't want to hold up your lunch."

"Thanks again, Sabine. We'll make sure to stop by again," Alya told the asian woman. She and Nino made their way out of the bakery and headed back towards the school.

"Speaking of the sunshine child, do you think he and Marinette will finally get together during their trip?" the red-haired reporter inquired.

"I dunno, maybe. My bro's pretty oblivious to the things around him though, it might only happen if Mari tells the boy something," responded the DJ.

"We both know it would take a miracle for that to happen. Maybe this trip will be that miracle those two need."

"I hope so, then we can have a double date and see that new movie together without those two being third and fourth wheels."

Alya and Nino made their way back into the school's cafeteria and sat down to enjoy their lunch and desserts. They continued their discussion on their friends love lives for most of the meal, eventually transitioning to the relationship status of Ladybug and Chat Noir. Soon lunch ended, and the couple was forced to end their conversation. They made their way back to class to endure another two and a half hours of school.

A/N BAD BAD BAD chapter. Needed a transition, but couldn't think of a good one, so you all get this crap. Next chapter should be better. Sorry for grammar mistakes, wanted to get this one out
