Chapter 7: Meet the new kid

It was at least an hour drive from the police station to Agreste manor, Natalie had just finished explaining the whole situation to Dallas who was still confused as to why he was being taken in so suddenly and why he hadn't even been told by child services yet.

"So let me get this straight, Mr. Agreste is taking me into his home as my new caretaker as a way of saying 'thanks for helping me pull my head out of my ass and putting it back on my shoulders', and not only that but he's also paid my bail for me and gotten the mayor of Paris to pardon me for all of my past crimes and in return all I have to do is do what, be Adrien's new brother?" Dallas summarized as he still tried to wrap his head around this.

"Yes that would be the long and short of it." Natalie elaborated. "But on a side note Mr. Agreste wants to help you in finding a better and more desirable future, he's seen your record and to be honest he is disappointed that you have taken such a dark path."

Dallas just rolled his eyes at her. "Well guess what sweetheart, were not all born with a silver spoon in our mouths. Also pardon my skepticism but I'm calling bullshit on this, he wants something from me that's why he's going through all this trouble, you don't survive on the streets for as long as I have by being stupid."

Natalie then replied without even looking up from her day planner. "Perhaps, but who's to say really. All I know is this, Gabriel wants to fix things with his son, Adrien needs a friend and you need a new home seeing as your last foster family was more than willing to let you go."

Dallas would never actually say it out loud but he was going to miss the Monroe's, even if they drove him crazy. "Yeah well good riddance to them, they sucked anyway." He said trying to hide the fact that he felt so guilty for all the horrible things he'd said to them. I wish I could tell them how sorry I am, he thought with a guilty expression on his face.

Dallas then took notice that Natalie hadn't even bothered to look up from her planner sense they got in the car, not only that but she never seemed to smile either. He then asked very awkwardly. "So what factory are you from?"

She finally looked up from her planner and glared at him before asking with a hint of annoyance. "Excuse me?"

Dallas then continued. "You know, which robot factory are you from, cause you don't really act like you have any normal emotions so I figured that you might be like a robot or something, you know like 'DOMO ARIGOTO MR. ROBOT-O DOMO, DOMO'." He joked as he danced the robot in his seat. "I wanna say something along the lines of Sony?" He 'guessed' as he continued his joke, which she didn't find funny at all. "Or maybe your from…"

Before he could make another joke she glared at him with clear anger on her face. "First of all, I am NOT…a robot." She seethed with anger.

"That's debatable." Dallas quickly quipped.

"And second, I expect you to behave yourself and respect Mr. Agreste so long as you are living in his home." Natalie finished as she returned her attention to her day planner.

"Jeez lady alright I get it…" Dallas said as he raised his hands defensively, then he continued under his breath. "I guess it's safe to assume that they put your charging port up your ass."

Natalie faintly heard him speak again then she asked still slightly angry. "What was that?" He quickly answered. "Nothing…" He then continued in his head. That a little time with your vibrator function couldn't cure.

She just glared at him for another ten seconds then returned to her planner. Jeez and adults say that kids spend too much time glued to their screens these days, Dallas thought as he just looked out the window of the car and caught a glimpse of his new foster home.

"Whoooooooa…" Was all that came to mind as he laid eyes on Agreste manor.

"Ah, right on schedule." Natalie said as she looked out the window. "Welcome to Agreste manor Dallas." She added as he just gawked at the large mansion. When the car came to a stop Dallas didn't even bother to wait for the gorilla to open the door for him, he just threw it open and hopped out of the car.

"Hoe…lee…shit, this place is so dope." Dallas said as he just marveled the large house.

"If you'll follow me to the front door…" Natalie advised as she stepped out of the car.

"Oh well sure thing because I have absolutely no idea where it…oh wait it's over there." Dallas said with sarcasm and a grouchy look on his face. Just as the bodyguard got out of the car he made his way to the trunk of the car and pulled out Dallas's luggage. "Uh…if it's all the same to you big guy, I'd rather that I carry that, a lot of valuable keep sakes in those bags." Dallas insisted as he walked over and took the bags from the bodyguard. All three characters then walked up to the front door and into the main entrance, Dallas's jaw just dropped as he laid eyes upon how vast the room was, it was very obvious that he was impressed by the set up of his new home. "Whoa…this room is huge." He said as he just looked around, then just for fun he then shouted. "HELLO!" Just to hear his echo, he continued his little joke for almost half a minute. "HOW ARE YOU? I ASKED YOU FIRST."

He just laughed at himself, then from off to the side of the main entrance Gabriel Agreste came out of his office to greet his new guest. "Having fun?" He asked with a half-smile, Dallas then continued his little joke in reply. "WHY YES I AM."

Natalie then just growled. "Stop that immediately." It seemed that he was just about to give her a metaphorical middle finger, but Dallas just took a deep breath then said at normal volume. "Okay."

Gabriel then walked over to Dallas and said. "It's good to see you again Dallas, I trust you enjoyed the ride?"

Dallas then shrugged his shoulders and replied. "Yeah it wasn't too bad, not every day that you get to ride in a swanky car like that." He then leaned in and whispered. "But I think that Lucy the ro-bo maid got her broomstick stuck up her tail pipe."

Gabriel's smile disappeared then he said. "Please come with me." Then he turned around and returned to his office.

Great, I've only been here for like a minute and I'm already in trouble, Dallas thought to himself, and all over a stupid joke which leads me to believe this guy has no sense of humor. Dallas followed Mr. Agreste into his office, he wasn't sure what he was going to say.

"Please remove your jacket." Gabriel asked as he picked up his measuring tape.

Dallas was a bit confused then asked. "Why do I need to take off my jacket?"

Gabriel began to elaborate. "So I can acquire your measurements more accurately."

Dallas was still a bit confused. "And why do you need my measurements for?"

Gabriel then explained. "Well so I can get started on your new wardrobe."

Dallas then seemed to be a bit insulted by that then said. "What's wrong with what I got on now?"

Gabriel then pointed out. "Well basically it says to everyone you talk to that you're a delinquent, also it just screams biker fetish."

Dallas crossed his arms and countered. "Okay firstly, I don't have a biker fetish I just like the look, and second, just because you give me new clothes that doesn't mean people are gonna think I'm an upstanding citizen."

Gabriel sighed then asked once more. "Just take off the jacket." Dallas didn't really feel like arguing with him so he just did as he asked and took off the jacket then he extended his arms as far apart as he could make them then Mr. Agreste took his measurements. Gabriel didn't say a word while he took his measurements, Dallas found the whole transaction to be a bit awkward. He then took notice of a bazar looking painting on the wall just behind a podium directly across from them, it looked to be a type of abstract piece and at the same time a portrait of a very beautiful young woman.

"Who's that? That woman in that picture over there." Dallas asked just to try and put an end to the awkward silence.

Gabriel looked up then answered him with a hint of sorrow. "My wife…"

Dallas caught this and sensed that this was a sore subject and immediately tried to backpedal. "Sorry…I didn't realize you were a widower."

But Gabriel simply continued the conversation. "I'm not, my wife is…missing is all. Though I have no idea of where she is or what happened to her I must hold on to hope that she will come home to us one day." Gabriel let out a small tear, Dallas felt sorry for him, he also began to understand that Gabriel was only acting this way with his son because he didn't know how to move on.

"I know what it's like, to lose the ones you love, my mom died about three years ago, pancreatic cancer, by the time they caught it there was nothing they could do to save her. As for my dad, he died because of his own stupidity and pride, but that's a story that's not worth going into."

After Gabriel finished taking down Dallas's measurements he picked up Dallas's jacket and handed it to him then said. "Your new clothes will be ready before this evening, in the mean time Natalie will show you to your room." But before he would allow him to throw Dallas out of his office he then asked Gabriel a question that had been bugging him ever sense he left the police station.

"Hold up fashion cop, before I head up to my new dungeon with the ghost in the shell I need to know one thing first. Why did you take me in, and don't give me that same excuse that the robot gave me. You don't survive out on the streets as long as I have by being an idiot, I can tell when someone wants something from me and I can smell that you need me to do something for you."

Gabriel was prepared for this and so he relayed very casually. "Two reasons actually, the first is because I happen to know that you face a dark future and I will do anything I can to help you avoid that." He spoke only the truth, he'd learned just how bad of a future Dallas faced and it wouldn't end well either, so Gabriel decided that by taking him in and guiding him down a new path that he would have a real future to look forward to.

"But why would you want to help me?" Dallas asked feeling no closer to an answer, Gabriel walked over and put his hand on his shoulder and said.

"Because you helped me, there for I must help you. Also you are my son's friend and it's thanks to no small part to you that he's actually smiling again, that's something that not even I was able to do."

He looked away from Dallas with a sad expression, Dallas didn't want to pry so he just asked. "And what was the second reason?"

Gabriel looked back at him and said with a small smile. "I'll explain that to you another day. Right now I just want you to feel comfortable in your new home." Dallas didn't like how cryptic Gabriel was being, whenever he saw someone was hiding something from him a little red flag would pop up warning him of danger, but seeing as he was Adrien's father he just decided to go with it for now.

"My apologies Mr. Agreste but it seems that Dallas's room won't be ready until after school today." Natalie announced as she came into Gabriel's office.

"May I ask why that is?" He asked in a neutral tone.

Natalie replied sounding just as neutral. "It would appear we have a blown fuse to his room, we'll need to call an electrician to fix the problem."

Gabriel found this to be mildly annoying, but he kept his cool knowing that this was only a unforeseen event as well as only a minor setback. "Very well, I'll call for one right away, in the mean time just have Dallas's things brought up to Adrien's room."

Dallas was quick to object to that request. "I'd actually like to handle my personal belongings sir, it's not that I don't trust anyone with my stuff it's just…well all of that stuff has sentimental value to me."

Gabriel nodded his head with understanding. "Alright, suit yourself." He said as he turned around and walked over to his desk then picked up the phone. While he dialed for an electrician Natalie led Dallas up stairs and off toward Adrien's room.

"Is it just me or does he seem to give off a creepy count Dracula kind of vibe?" Natalie looked back at him with a glare that basically said shut your mouth or I'll shut if for you. "What? I'm just saying he gives me that kind of feeling."

Jeez this lady needs to get a vibrater, he thought to himself, or maybe she should go on a date with Sunny from i-robot, might learn a thing or two from it, like what emotions are.

Meanwhile in Adrien's room he was having a face time call with Marinette before school. "You know I was thinking that after school tonight we could go to the park, just the two of us you know? A nice little romantic outing for my favorite girlfriend in the world." Adrien said with a high level of charm, ever sense that night he'd chosen to return her love Adrien was doing anything and everything to make Marinette feel loved by him, especially by taking her out on the town.

But she quickly shot it down. "That sounds perfect, or at least it will be until we get swarmed by a mob of photographers and journalists again." Ever sense Alya blogged that they were going out on a date and texted everyone in there class about it the media had been all over their new relationship, they hadn't even had their second date before every single News station in Paris caught wind of it and both teens were feeling the pressures of the media breathing down their necks and never giving them a moments peace.

"Well if you want we could just stay over at your place." He suggested as a substitute, but she was quick to shoot it down too.

"I wouldn't mind that, but my parents would probably bombard you with a million questions if we do. They've already started asking me if we're…" She paused for a moment to make sure that neither of her parents were listening in on their phone call, when she was satisfied that they weren't she turned back to him and finished in a whisper. "Using protection."

Adrien began to blush then he just started to stutter. "What? I would never…I mean I couldn't do…that's just…I mean…really?" He was at a losse for words at this point, Marinette found this display to be adorable and just laughed.

"Adrien relax, I already told them that we wanted to wait." She said as she gave him a reassuring smile.

He breathed a sigh of relief then said. "Oh good, that would've been an awkward conversation, especially with your dad."

Marinette then giggled a bit then said. "Believe it or not he said he wouldn't mind if we had kids, apparently he wants to be a pop-pop really really bad, but I told him straight up that there was no way I was ready to be a mommy just yet and that he would have to wait until…uh…Adrien? Are you sweating?" She could see his face begin to turn bright red with little beads of sweat forming on his brow, he wanted to say something but no words would come to mind to form a sentence.

To say that this subject made him nervous was an understatement, he was flat out terrified. "Oh…did I go too far?" She asked suddenly feeling awkward.

Finally Adrien started to form a sentence. "That's uh…pretty interesting Mari." Holy shit she wasn't kidding was she, he thought to himself, what the fuck is going on with that sick minded father of her's, why the hell does this keep happening to me? "So…" He tried to get the conversation going again. "If not the park, or your place, where do you want to go tonight?"

She thought about it for a moment then said. "Well…there's this one place that I've been dying to go to sense it opened, but…no, never mind it would be too much to ask this soon in our relationship." She tried to back away from the subject but Adrien was too curious to leave it alone.

"Oh no you don't, you unlocked this door now you've gotta tell me what's behind it." He said with a mischievous smile.

"Adrien no, it's way too expensive." She tried to dissuade him, but he wasn't backing off so easily.

"Marinette Dupain-Chang you know me better than that, now tell me what it is you wanna do or I'll just tickle it out of you." He threatened mildly.

"Oh you wouldn't dare." She countered assuming she'd called his bluff.

"Wanna bet?" He retorted as he wiggled his eye brows, she giggled a bit then said. "Silly kitty."

Ever sense the first time she'd called 'Adrien' by that nickname he insisted that she keep on using it on him, mainly so he'd have an excuse to act like a cat when they were alone, just so he could make her smile, she didn't need much convincing either as she found the display to be very adorable.

"Come on Mari, please just tell me." He begged as he gave her what he called the kitten eyes, and as it turned out it was his greatest weapon to use against her.

"Hey that's not fair using the kitten eyes on me like that." She stated as she pretended to be mad, but secretly she loved it.

"Pwease Mawinette, tew me what you want fwom youw wittle kitty." He began to turn up the heat with baby talk, she finally caved as she couldn't resist how damn cute he was being.

Damn him and his good looks, she thought to herself. "Okay, I'll tell you…" She answered knowing he'd beaten her. Works every time, he thought to himself feeling very triumphant. "There's this restaurant near the Louvre, and it's got these crazy amazing seafood dishes that I've just been dying to try, but they are crazy expensive and I'd rather not ask you to…"

Adrien knew about the restaurant she was talking about, it was a very classy restaurant by the name of 'The scarlet seahorse', he'd eaten there many times before with his father, they even had a table on permanent reservation due to the fact that the owner was a high priority client of Mr. Agreste, and it was a good thing too as it was nearly impossible to get a table on such short notice, and Adrien could use that to his advantage. "I'll book us a table for 8 o'clock tonight." He said with a smile.

Marinette's jaw just dropped then she said sounding unconvinced. "Your kidding right? I've heard it's impossible to book a table there, unless you do it early in the morning and use some kind of password."

His smile grew bigger before he said. "Not if you're an Agreste you don't, my…father, if I should even still call him that…has a table reserved just for us on a permanent reservation so we can just use it for ourselves tonight. So how about it my princess, you want to go to The scarlet seahorse tonight?"

She just began to squeal with joy as she said. "Oh my god yes I would love to, well you know as long as we can afford it because like I said it's crazy expensive to eat there."

He just laughed and said. "Okay, your lack of confidence in my bank account is a little insulting Mari." She then realized she'd forgotten he was rich.

"Oh right, sorry I'm still not used to this yet, I mean don't get me wrong it's good that you have money but I'm just not used to it yet."

"Well maybe you would be if you'd let me spoil you a little more." Adrien said with a mischievous smile.

"No, you don't need to waste your money on me Adrien, I'm plenty spoiled by you simply by having you all to myself." She said shooting down his offer, she knew that she could easily take advantage of his large amount of money in the family account, but even though the temptation was great she had a perfect example of what happens when your spoiled by money, Chloe Bourgeois, and she'd rather shave her head bawled before she became another version of Chloe.

He just chuckled at her comment. "I suppose your right, but still I wouldn't mind showering you with a whole boat load of expensive gifts, like…" He was about to narrow down a list of things he wanted her to have but she just cut him off before he could.

"Don't you even think about it mister, the last thing I need is some ridiculous amount of gifts from some far away country across the sea somewhere." Even if it were two tickets for a romantic get away to somewhere tropical like the virgin islands, she thought to herself as she imagined the two of them just having a romantic vacation all to themselves, I'd just glue the do not disturb sign to the door and lock it behind us and we wouldn't leave unless the building was literally on fire. While her mind drifted off to more…romantic thoughts, Adrien then heard a knock at his door.

"Adrien? Could you open the door please?" Natalie asked from beyond the door.

Adrien groaned then said. "Just a minute Natalie, I'm sorry Mari but I have to let you go now, I'll talk to you later when we get to school."

Marinette nodded her head then said. "Sure Adrien, but just one more quick thing before you go?"

He stopped just before he hit the end call button. "Yeah sure, what is it?" He asked feeling curious.

Okay Marinette, she began to give herself a mental pep-talk as she prepared to ask him something that had been bothering her for a while, you can do this just breathe, relax and speak from the heart. She took a deep breath and said. "Are you sure about…you know…us?"

He didn't quite understand what she was saying. "What…what are you talking about? What do you mean am I sure?" He asked back.

"Well…it's just that…I'm scared is all…scared that your only with me because…the girl that you had a crush on before me…" She began to speak her mind, Adrien knew exactly where she was going with this then he just cut her off.

"Mari, I promise you that I'm done trying to be with her okay? Besides she said she already had feelings for some other guy anyway, the truth is…I was trying to see with my eyes closed…" He began to quote master Fu slightly. "Well to put it more accurately, I was trying to walk through a wall without a door in it, I was so focused on that wall standing in front of me that I didn't see the window of opportunity right next to me, maybe if I had it would've saved us both a lot of heartache…what I'm trying to say is…you're more than just a substitute for her Marinette, you were there for me when I needed someone the most to show me the love and compassion that I'd wanted to feel from another human being for so long, I was in a dark place Marinette and I was all alone, then you came…you saved me from the darkness and brought me back to the light I'd been missing for so long that I thought I'd never have it again, that I would live the rest of my life alone, I love you Marinette, more than I think is even possible."

She just broke down into tears of joy with every word he'd used, and when he'd said the three magic words she'd longed to hear from his lips for so long she nearly lost control of herself. Oh my god, he thought to himself, I've already said it, I actually told her that I love her right to her face, but did I actually mean it? What am I talking about of course I do, and she's earned my love too especially after putting up with my stupidity for the past two years.

"Do you…" She tried to speak as best she could while at the same time get control of herself. "Do you actually mean that?"

He smiled then said with honesty and love. "Every word of it." She smiled then said.

"I never had any doubts, okay…I guess I should let you go now, bye kitty." She blew him a kiss through the screen and he acted as he'd actually caught it in his hand then placed it on his lips, then he said back.

"Good bye for now, my princess." He hung up the phone then proceeded to make his way to the door when Plagg flew up and said.

"Do you have any idea of how sickeningly gross you two are?" He popped a wedge of cheese in his mouth. "I was so repulsed by it that it made me so hungry that I ate more than half my supply of camembert, and that includes the stuff I'd been saving for a special occasion."

Adrien just shook his head and said. "You know there's more to life than just cheese Plagg." Adrien stated, but Plagg just gasped and said with disgust. "Blasphemy, I demand you take that back immediately!"

"And I demand that you take a breath mint Plagg, but we both know that's never gonna happen." Adrien countered with sass, Plagg would've continued the argument if Adrien hadn't opened the door for Natalie, or his unexpected but not in any way unwelcome guest Dallas Jones, who was the first of the two he'd noticed. "Dallas? What are you doing here?" He asked with a mixture of shock and confusion.

"What you didn't know? Your dad's my new foster parent, which means you're my new foster brother too." Dallas answered very casually, Adrien then looked at Natalie then asked.

"Okay Natalie, what's he playing at this time? Come on just tell me what's his hidden agenda?" He crossed his arms and just stared daggers at her, Natalie then answered him without a small hint of emotion.

"There is no hidden agenda Adrien, he's just taking in someone less fortunate than us and giving him a place to call home."

Dallas then cut in to the conversation. "That's not entirely true, he's taking me in as a way of saying thanks, also because he thought that you might like having a friend around. Also because he wanted to help me try and save my future from the shit heap I was looking at before but hay I'm not complaining."

Adrien didn't believe that he did this for either of the boys, in fact he was absolutely convinced that Gabriel did this just so he could get good publicity with the media, but he couldn't be farther from the truth. "Well…sense your already here I guess there's no sense in being a poor host." Adrien said as he ushered Dallas into his room.

"Don't worry Adrien, this is only a temporary arrangement until his room is ready, we'll have it ready by the time you two get home from school today." Natalie said turning back into the hall, Dallas then stopped her and said. "Uh…what? I'm sorry but I wasn't told that school was a part of the deal."

She turned around and stated firmly. "Just because Mr. Agreste is grateful to you for your help that doesn't mean he'll allow you to simply avoid an education altogether, you are to attend school and that is that, there will be no further discussions about the matter." She then left the two boys to themselves, in Dallas's personal opinion school and him didn't mix.

"Okay is it just me or is she some kind of robot?" Dallas asked half joking, he was almost convinced she was a robot.

"Nah, that's just how she is." Adrien answered casually. "Well this is my room, bask in its glory." Adrien said with a smile and a wave of his hand, Dallas was simply blown away by all the expensive things that Adrien had in his room such as the sixty inch plasma TV, the rock wall, skate ramp, the fooz ball table and the mini arcade. He also caught sight of his piano but he wasn't really blown away by that, if you've seen one piano you've seen them all.

"Dude, this is your room? Dude this is so freaken dope, it's like everything you could ever want is in here, well except a few hot bikini babes and a stripper pole but I'm sure you've had more than your fair share of those am I right pretty boy?" Dallas said as he nudged Adrien's shoulder with a not so subtle wink, Adrien didn't want to disappoint him but he still had to so he wouldn't get the wrong idea.

"Uhhhhhh…yeah, I've…never really had any girls in hear, well at least not for what your probably thinking." Adrien stated with honesty, but Dallas was quick to discount his claim. "Dude come on were both guys you don't have to lie to me, god damn I'll bet your just up to your eyeballs in pun-tang about two or three time a week, and sense you're a model that must really help."

Adrien then forced him to look him in the eye and said. "Dallas, listen to me. I have NEVER once had any kind of physical relations with anyone else, in my room or anywhere else for that matter."

Dallas could sense that he was telling the truth, which actually confused him. "For real man? How come? I mean don't take this the wrong way cause I don't swing that way but you are probably one of the best looking guys I've seen in my whole life so why the hell wouldn't any girl in this whole city want to spread eagle for you?" Dallas asked sincerely, Adrien only found this conversation to be disgusting, especially sense he now had a girlfriend that he was trying to go steady with.

"I've just never really seen a reason to go that far is all, sure I'm not gonna lie I'd like that but I'm not just going to hop in bed with the first girl that askes me to sleep with her." He said with honesty, Dallas just shook his head and said.

"Dude, you've seriously got to get laid, there is literally no such thing as a virgin super model."

Then Adrien fired back with. "Well I'm living proof your wrong, besides my girlfriend and I both agreed that we should wait until we were ready."

Upon hearing this Dallas just began to laugh in disbelief. "Oh now I know your fucking with me." But Adrien just stood there with a serious expression on his face which made Dallas realize that he wasn't joking. "Wait, you actually have a girlfriend? But…I thought…"

Adrien then cut him off and said. "I never said I was single, I just said I'd never had anyone in here for sex which is the truth, and believe me she made it very clear that she wanted me BAD. But I told her that I wasn't ready to go that far just yet and I wanted to wait, to which she was respectful and she agreed to wait until then."

Dallas then asked with all the sincerity he could muster. "Dude, I know it's a bit early in our friendship to ask this but are you gay?"

Adrien just laughed and said. "Come on man, just because I don't want to have sex yet doesn't mean I'm not interested, and as long as she knows that than she'll be content."

Dallas didn't really see it that way, he was typically the kind of guy to go out, find a girl he liked, wine and dine them and then finally he'd sleep with them every chance he got, or at least until they chose to leave him which always left him broken hearted in the end, which he'd never tell anyone, but only to keep up his bad boy reputation, he might've looked the type to just love'em and leave'em but deep down he was more of a compassionate kind of lover, even if he wanted sex from whoever he was with he always wanted them to stay with him. "So if your not sleeping with her are you at least sampling the goods?" Dallas asked to try and see just how long they were planning to wait, Adrien naturally didn't like what he'd proposed.

"Dude, you are a real piece of work you know that?" He said with mild disgust.

"Well excuse me for not knowing that you were the worlds first teenage model who's not trying his hardest to punch his V-card." Dallas replied jokingly.

"Well I see you two are getting along just fine." A voice from the bed room door said, both boys turned around and saw Gabriel standing in it with a genuine smile on his face. Adrien just glared at his father still somewhat angry with him for more recent actions taken by him the week before. Dallas saw the look on Adrien's face and realized that what Natalie had told him about the repairs in their broken relationship being a work in progress was an understatement, the tension was so thick you could've cut it with a knife.

"Father." Was all Adrien would use to greet him, Gabriel's smile disappeared slowly and his face began to adopt a sad expression.

"Adrien…" He began to walk over to his son to try and talk with him. "I understand that your still angry with me, and I deserve it more than you realize, but I want to change all of that son really I do." He tried to put his hand on his shoulder but Adrien just swat it away as if it were a fly.

"Don't…just don't, honestly father I'm not even sure if you really deserve to be forgiven for what you've done, and I'm not just talking about the slap, I'm talking about the years of neglecting me and leaving me alone, so if there is even a chance that I'll forgive you for it all it's gonna be a long time coming."

Gabriel looked away and said. "I understand, these things take time…" Then he turned his attention back to him and continued. "And I will wait for a hundred years if I have to, anyway…" He turned toward Dallas and said. "Dallas, you may want to get ready for school Adrien usually leaves around this time, oh and I've already acquired a backpack for you waiting by the front door."

Dallas threw his head back and groaned. "Ugh…why can I not just get away from prison 2.0 no matter where I go?"

Gabriel then said with a shake of his head. "Don't be so dramatic, I'll see you both in the car." Adrien took notice of this, but he didn't comment on it, he just chose to ignore it.

"Come on dude, might as well change your clothes." He said to Dallas, he nodded his head in agreement as he saw that his current attire was filthy and he hadn't washed it in a while. He opened up his suit case and started to look for something, anything that was clean.

"No…no…no…no…for fuck sake why aren't any of my clothes clean?"

He said as he just threw every disgusting thing in his bags all over the room. "Hey dude come on your making a mess." Adrien said as he dodged every piece of clothing Dallas threw his way.

"God damnit, I can't go to school in any of these, and I don't have anything else." That's when Adrien got an idea. "I think I might have something in your size, wait here." A few minutes later Adrien was making his way down stairs to the car to head to school. "Dallas come on…" He called out to his foster brother. "We gotta go or were gonna be late."

But Dallas just shouted back. "I'm not going dressed like this Adrien so you can just forget about it."

Adrien had dressed him in a very tasteful white shirt with a pair of jeans that fit him like a glove, but sadly he didn't appreciate his temporary clothes at all. "Oh come on you look great." Adrien said to try and convince him.

"I look like a cotton ball dipped in denim I ain't going to school like this." Knowing that he wasn't going willingly he turned toward his bodyguard and asked.

"I know you're not really supposed to but we're gonna be late if you don't so could you maybe go get him?" The bodyguard nodded his head and did as he asked, Adrien could here the transaction of Dallas being carried down stairs.

"Hey get your paws off me King Kong I don't wanna go to the top of the Eiffel tower so you can swat at biplanes, actually maybe we should because then maybe your oversized ass will fall off, put me down, I said put me down or so help me god I will shove my foot so far up your ass you won't be able to shit for a year. Seriously do you not understand what I'm saying? Okay then I'll say it in French…" He began to mock with a bad French accent. "Misiour pute muiz azz downy or I shall kick you azz to zee neorest window of Notra Dame so you can have a tea party with the god damned hunch back!" He demanded as the much larger man carried him down the stairs and toward the door. He set him down gently and returned to his still as a statue look. "Seriously? You had to send in your over grown chimp?" Dallas said with sass as he smoothed out the wrinkles in his shirt.

"Less whining, more heading to school." Adrien said as he handed Dallas his new backpack, he groaned and snatched it out of his hands then both boys and the bodyguard headed to the car, while Dallas was fighting his underwear from riding up his backside.

"God damnit, can't your dad make a pair of jeans that doesn't pinch my ass? It's no wonder you didn't get a girlfriend until now your package is literally being crushed, next time I want spandex or something with an elastic waistband in it." He complained as he tried to scratch…a certain area to relieve the irritation in his pants.

"You do know those are my pants right? They were made to fit me, and could you maybe stop scratching your junk for like half a second so I can talk to you?" Adrien summed up and asked at the same time.

"I can't help it; your pants are literally strangling my…" Dallas began to justify when Adrien cut him off.

"TO MUCH INFORMATION! To. Much. Information." Dallas just continued to scratch himself as best he could, but he wasn't getting much relief.

"God this is unbearable, I need powder everything is chaffing, my cock and balls are NOT happy right now." He said complaining about the terrible itch in his pants, under any other circumstances Adrien would be laughing at his expense, but not today.

Finally both boys got in the car and as he'd promised Gabriel was waiting for them to see both boys off to school for the day. Along the way Gabriel tried to strike up a conversation with Adrien, but he just ignored him, Dallas once again saw the tension brewing between the two, he didn't know if he should try to help, or if he even could. They eventually got to the school and proceeded to leave the car.

"Have a good day boys, I'll see you after school." Gabriel said as he waved them good bye, Dallas returned the wave while Adrien just looked back and said with a grouchy tone. "Actually you won't see me after school today, I have a date with My girlfriend and I'm not missing it."

Dallas was actually shocked by his attitude, normally he would applaud someone for being rebellious but this was more than just rebellion against his father, this was flat out disrespect and hatred, something that he knew from firsthand experience. He saw the hurt on Gabriel's face and knew he had to do something to fix things between them, sure it wasn't his responsibility to do so but he couldn't just sit by and let this happen. But despite the harsh tone of his son Gabriel simply nodded his head and said with a forced smile. "Of course, I understand that you need to spend time with her son, wish her well for me." Just as the boys started to walk away Gabriel then called out to Dallas. "Oh and Dallas?" He stopped to face Gabriel who then continued with. "Have a wonderful first day." And with that said he rolled up the window and the car drove off with a very broken Gabriel inside of it.

Dallas then turned to Adrien and just addressed the elephant in the room. "Okay, what was all of that about?" He said knowing that Adrien would get mad but he felt the need to ask anyway.

Adrien turned toward him and just said with a slightly less angry tone than expected. "He pissed me off, that's all you need to know." Then he just walked inside the building and showed Dallas where his locker was. "Okay while you're getting settled in I'm going to take a pit stop, be right back." Adrien said as he walked off, which was his first mistake of the day when it came to Dallas.

He wasn't even in the locker room for a minute when he was met by an African boy with an orange baseball cap, a blue shirt with a weird looking eyeball on it, a pair of headphones and blue jeans who looked to be a DJ of some kind. "Hey dude what's up?" Nino greeted Dallas with a high five, but Dallas didn't return it, mainly because he didn't even know this kid, and already found him to be annoying, one of his skills he'd learned from his father was how to read people just by looking at them, by the way they dressed, their body language, their facial expressions, even by their normal tone of voice. Nino felt so awkward when Dallas didn't answer him, that's when he asked. "Uh, dude do you not understand what I'm saying or something? Oh wait don't worry I speak Spanish…"

That's when Dallas lost his cool for a second, before Nino could say what he was about to say again but in Spanish Dallas just put his hand over his mouth and said. "First of all ya little bow-wow reject, I'm not a Spaniard…" He snapped at Nino for thinking he was a Latino, Nino was just confused. "And second, don't just assume you know a guys race just because he looks like a Latino, got it ya little MC Hammer wanna be?"

He pulled his hand away from Nino's mouth, then Nino just asked a bit angry. "Dude seriously? What's your problem?"

Then Dallas grabbed Nino by the collar of his shirt then pushed him into the side of the lockers then he growled right in his face. "My problem is little shit heads like you assuming that I'm a Latino, I'm not Latino ass wipe…" Then Nino interrupted and said.

"Okay fine take a chill pill dude, I honest to god didn't realize you were from India." Then Dallas got even Madder.

"Oh there you go again making assumptions about my ethnicity jackass, I'm not an Indian I'm a native American of the Lakota tribe and if you call me either of the former again I swear to my ancestors that I'll scalp you in their honor." That's when Dallas felt a hand grip his shoulder, he turned to see a Korean kid with a Mohawk like haircut, red hoodie and blue jeans, he also looked very athletic. He was slightly taller than Dallas too.

"Hey take it down a notch Jose." Kim said not realizing what he'd just said. "Don't get your sombrero all…"

Before he could finish his sentence Dallas then shouted. "THAT'S IT, NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!" Then he let go of Nino and grabbed Kim by his hair and dragged him over to a trash can, then he picked it up and stuffed Kim's upper half of his body inside of it, then he started to beat on it with a tennis racket that was just sitting next to the doorway.

From the bath room Plagg could see the event transpiring from the window. "Uh-oh…" Plagg said just before he flew over to Adrien who was washing his hands then said. "Hey Adrien, you know how the native Americans are unjustly labeled stereotypically as savages?"

Adrien was a bit confused then said. "Uhhhhhh…Yes, why do you ask?"

Plagg then said. "Well let's just say that Dallas isn't helping to disprove that stereotype." Adrien didn't need any further explanation as he just ran out of the bath room and found Dallas beating away with a tennis racket while Kim was stuck head first inside a trashcan while at the same time Dallas was swearing something in the Lakota dialect.

"(Dumb son of a bitch can't tell the difference between a Spaniard and a Lakota ya dumb mother fucking knock off Kim Jong-un.)" Adrien quickly ran over to Dallas and took the tennis racket out of his hand.

"Dallas dude calm down, now tell me what happened to get you all…uh…crazy?" Adrien was about to say savage but realized that would've been racist given his ethnicity. That's when Kim threw the trashcan off of him and said.

"Dude…the fuck? I mean seriously what's your fucking problem man? I didn't do anything to you."

Dallas then lunged at Kim but Adrien caught him just in time. "I swear to god if you don't get out of my face Kim Jong-un I will rip yours off ya racist bastard." Adrien then realized what the situation was, then he carefully explained.

"Kim, it's not your fault, he just has a bit of a short fuse when it come's to his ethnicity. Which just so we're clear is native American, specifically of the Lakota tribe, so please try to show a little respect okay?"

Kim then fired back with. "Are you kidding me Adrien, why should I be the one to show respect? He just attacked me just because I called him Jose."

Then Dallas shouted back at him. "No I attacked you because you assumed I was a LATINO YA LITTLE K-POP DOUCHE-BAG!"

Kim had already had enough of Dallas to last him all day, but before things could get worse Adrien then turned to Dallas and said. "Dude, just go outside to the blacktop and wait for me there so you can calm down while I fix your mess."

Dallas didn't want to listen to Adrien, but he didn't want to cause trouble for him either so he just did as he asked and walked out the door. "Okay seriously Adrien, how do you know that guy and what is his problem?" Nino asked twice, Adrien sighed then said sort of embarrassed.

"He's my new foster brother." Both Kim and Nino said in unison. "Ouch."

Then Kim continued with. "I guess you really picked the short straw when it came to foster siblings huh dude?" Adrien was quick to defend Dallas.

"That's not fair Kim, he's had a rough life even before he was in foster care, his mom died three years ago from cancer and his dad got killed in a shootout with police, his brother's in jail and his uncle doesn't even want anything to do with him which is why he's a foster kid to begin with. Plus…I kinda made the same mistake that you guys did, so maybe don't be so quick to judge him until you get to know him, he's actually a pretty cool guy once you do."

Outside of the school Alya and Marinette were deep in conversation about her new relationship with Adrien, or more accurately Alya wanted to know if she was sleeping with him yet. "Girl come on you've gotta give a sister something." Alya begged with her hands folded, but Marinette just shrugged and said.

"I'm afraid there's nothing to tell Alya, we're taking things slowly and that's that, but I am working on him trying to feel me up a little bit."

Alya groaned then said. "You've got to be kidding me, you finally got the guy you've been crushing and borderline stalking for two years all to yourself and your not even getting a little bit of action? Mari, are you sure he's straight?"

Marinette punched her shoulder playfully and both girls just giggled, until Marinette bumped into someone she didn't see. "Hey look were you're going idiot." She said as she shifted her focused to the boy dressed in the white designer shirt and jeans. Dallas then turned his focus and started to say.

"Take your own advice you…you…" He stopped when he realized who it was he was talking to. "Oh hey Margaret, I mean Marinara, I mean Martini, I mean Margarita, I MEAN MARINETTE." He then buried his face into his hand with embarrassment. God damn it what the hell is wrong with me? He thought to himself, why is it so hard to talk to her? I've spoken to literally hundreds of girls, slept with more than half of them and never once did this happen to me.

Marinette was shocked once she heard him say her name, oh my god is he stalking me? She thought to herself, what a creep.

"Uh Mari? How does this guy know your name?" Alya asked looking a bit confused.

"Yeah, how do you know my name, Dallas?" Marinette asked him, somehow Adrien failed to mention to anyone that he was hanging out with Dallas at the hospital while he was still injured, Alya then recognized the name that Marinette had called him by then she said with anger.

"Wait, you mean to say that this prick is Dallas Jones?"

Dallas then smiled somewhat and said. "Why yes I am, and I'm also…" Before he could finish he was cut off by Alya's fist in his nose, he then began to growl then shouted. "God…DAMN IT! WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP PUNCHING ME IN THE NOSE? I mean seriously, does my forehead have a sign that says 'punch as hard as you can and win a prize?' Seriously first the fucking gimp cat hits me, then the polka dot court jester, and now Queen Latifah's little sister."

That's when Alya spoke up again. "Serves you right you little jerk, especially after what you did to Adrien Agreste, attacking him for no reason, you should be ashamed of yourself." She pointed her finger in his chest.

Then Dallas threw his head back and groaned. "Why does everybody think I attacked Adrien Agreste? I only just met the kid a few days ago, also just so you girls know he's my new foster bro so I literally have no reason to want to hurt him either." Dallas stated with honesty. But neither of the girls believed him.

"Nice try Speedy Gonzales, but I'm not buying it." Alya said with a frown on her face, then Dallas shouted in her face.

"I AM NOT A FUCKING LATINO YOU DUMB BIM-BOH, I'M LAKOTA, SO GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD YA NIKKI MINAJ COSPLAYER."

Alya had no idea of how to even respond to that, she was caught between puzzled and angry with his remark. Then Marinette asked again. "You never answered my question Dallas; how do you know my name because I never told you my name when we first met."

Dallas then smiled at her and said while trying to sound cool and mysterious. "Well I'm a man of many talents, I also have a few friends in high places…" He then reached into his back pocket and pulled out the source of his knowledge. "There's also the fact that you dropped this outside of your parents bakery." He presented her with her student ID card, she then looked at him with pure anger.

"You little thief…" She snarled at him then said as she snatched her card back. "Give me that, I've been looking everywhere for this thing."

He then rubbed the back of his neck then said apologetically. "Okay ignoring the fact that you just called me that, but in my defense I've been meaning to get that back to you, but I got shot and that kept me in bed for a few weeks and I couldn't do anything about it until I got out, so here I am sweetheart." He then smiled nervously, here we are sweetheart? He thought to himself mentally kicking himself for the stupid comment, do you want her to be your new girlfriend or do you want a swift kick in the balls because I'm pretty sure she's leaning toward that option a little more.

Marinette just glared at him, I can't believe I actually thought this guy was cute, she thought to herself.

"So uh…Mari, if you're not too busy…" He attempted to ask her out but before he could she just stated as she shoved her hand into his face with attitude.

"I'm taken thank you very much, by a boy with class, also with charm, composure, good looks and above all else no criminal record, I'm assuming. In other words Dallas, you're going to have to watch as this hot piece of ass walks off into the sunset because it's so close and yet so far out of your reach." Marinette said with attitude as she walked away with Alya in tow, who quickly stopped and said.

"Looks like my girl Mari just dropped the mic on you Jones, better luck next time. Not that you have a chance that is." She then kept on going, that's when Dallas smiled and said to himself.

"Challenge accepted ladies." Even though Dallas wasn't the kind of person to sleep with another guy's girlfriend he wasn't above trying to woo them away from said guys and make them fall head over heels for him. A loud ear shattering scream drew him out of his thoughts to try and woo over Marinette from way over on the opposite side of the blacktop, he turned and saw a blond girl in a black and white striped shirt, yellow over shirt and cream pants all of which looked designer.

She was stood up on top of a bench cowering from something. "GET IT AWAY FROM ME, AAAAAAAAH!" She screamed with absolute terror. Curious to find out what was going on Dallas came over to investigate.

"Hey Cindarella, what's got that lovely singing voice off pitch?" Dallas joked as he came over to investigate the situation.

"Look…right there, it's staring at meeeeeeee!" Chloe squealed as she pointed at the ground, Dallas looked to where she was pointing and saw…

"A spider, you have got to be kidding me? That's why you woke every dead guy in the city? A god damn gypsy spider?" He began to laugh slightly, Dallas wasn't afraid of spiders, in fact his tribe actually associated with spiders culturally as did several of the native American tribes did.

"Just kill it please!" Chloe requested eagerly.

"Why the hell would I do that? He isn't hurting you." Dallas shot down, to which Chloe retorted with.

"Because it's a spider, it's gross and nasty and it probably has rabies or something." Dallas just shook his head and said.

"Okay first of all calm down Taylor Swift, no need to freak out and write a song about how much you hated the movie 8 legged freaks, and second, spiders don't carry rabies they have venom, sure it's not much better but at least it's not contagious."

But Chloe said in reply. "I don't care, just kill it!"

Dallas then frowned. "So you'd have me kill something just because you don't like it or because you think it's gross, let me ask you something Linzy Maguire, how would you like it if I decided to kill you just because I thought you were a bitch?"

Chloe then stomped her feet and shouted. "How dare you, everyone adores me!"

Then Dallas added jokingly. "And people in hell have ice water on tap."

Chloe then screamed demandingly. "JUST GET RID OF IT NOW!"

Dallas then put up his hands and said. "Alright jeez, don't get your thong in a twist sweetheart." Dallas simply pulled out a handkerchief from his back pocket and laid it out for the spider and allowed it to crawl onto it, he then carried it outside of the school's main entrance and let it go in the shrubbery outside. "There you go little guy." After letting the spider go free Dallas then returned to Chloe who had just gotten off the bench. "There he's gone, happy Princess Peach?" Dallas joked as he just folded his arms, then Chloe gave him a weird look and asked.

"Uh…who's Princess Peach?" Dallas then began to laminate for her. "You know Princess Peach? From Mario? You know the little plumber dude with the red hat and shirt with the overalls? The guy who says with a lot of pep in his voice, 'Here we go!' Come on how do you not know Mario? It's like the greatest game Nintendo has ever created in the history of videogames."

Then Chloe said with a lot of sass. "Well excuse me for not knowing about your games back in Spain amigo." Dallas was about to calmly tell her that she was mistaken with his ethnicity when she quickly added with just as much sass as before. "Oh and by the way, I don't like tacos." That's when she sent him over the edge.

"DAMN YOU I'M NOT LATINO I'M LAKOTA! I'M TIRED OF YOU DUMB FRENCHIES CALLING ME A LATINO ALL THE TIME, I'M NATIVE AMERICAN AND THAT'S IT YOU DUMB BLOND CHEERLEADER!" He then walked away before he did something he'd later regret while leaving a very confused Chloe.

"Uhhhhhh…what just happened?" She asked rhetorically to absolutely no one in particular. When the first bell rang everyone began to make their way to their designated classrooms. Adrien had to guide Dallas to his class as he couldn't reed French nearly as well as he could speak it, fortunately they had most of the same classes thanks to Natalie. Rather than just let him take a seat the teacher asked him to stand up front for a personal introduction.

"Good morning everyone…" Ms. Bustier began to address the room. "Before we start today's lesson we have a new student here today, please help me welcome Mr. Dallas Jones from the united states of America." She gestured over to Dallas with one hand. "So Dallas, why don't you tell us a little about yourself?"

That was his cue to get started with his part of the introduction. "Okay then teach, I'm from the U.S. as the teacher just said, I'm also half white half Lakota just in case if anyone in here thinks that I'm Latino, or Indian for that matter. AND yes there is a difference between the Indian people and the native American people ya racist bastards…" Ms. Bustier gasped as she put her hand over her mouth with his use of language, Adrien just covered his face with his hand with embarrassment.

You've got to be kidding me Dallas, he thought to himself, class only just started and your already being way more of you than you should be. "…and that difference is my people lived out on the plains of the western territories of the US, we also raided other tribes for supplies and resources if we had to, same could be said for women and horses too, and if you pissed us off by say…oh I don't know coming into our turf for no reason and messing with our shit then we'd come along and kill ya and string your body up on a tree at the border of our land to display as a warning to any would be intruders. But that was all before the white man came along and stole it from us, yeah that was fun…" He said with sarcasm. "Like when they would tear down our villages and kill our people when they were just minding their own business and doing absolutely nothing but exist in this world in a land that belonged to us. Or when they gave our people the wonderful gift of small pox and killed us all, yeah that was a good laugh." He said with more sarcasm. "And who could forget when the U.S. government killed off the majority of our food supply just to try and make life harder for us to survive, and all because they wanted our land…" Dallas knew that everything he was saying to them made everyone feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't care, he only did it to make sure that everyone in the room knew just how hard life had been for his people in the past, and in the moments to follow he'd tell them about how hard it was in present day times. "Oh and it gets better, after all of the rape and pillaging of my people was done and over with finally the U.S. government forced us all on to reservations that are basically nothing but a Ghetto to everyone that lives there, and why is that you ask? Well to put it bluntly we have nothing but pain and misery, oh and here's a happy little side note, native Americans are more likely to commit suicide than a white man because we don't have a real future to look forward to, no we just have poverty and drugs and that's about it for us. So before you judge us just remember, it was you guys and the Brits that got the ball rolling, all because you didn't like living over here where you guys belong. Also Indians where those stupid red dots on their foreheads and help you with your computer when it freezes up while you're trying to download a new porn video illegally."

For anyone else to say that they understood where he was coming from would be a flat out lie, they all thought that they knew how hard it was for the native American tribes but in truth they had no idea.

"Uhhhhhh…well, that was very…insightful, thank you Dallas…" Ms. Bustier was about to ask him to sit down but before she could he then continued.

"Oh just one more thing, sense this little bit always follows me around I may as well get it off my chest before the roomers start and get blown WAY out of proportion, I have a criminal record…" The room became quiet, so quiet you could here a pin drop. Adrien wanted to tell him to stop, but he had a feeling that it wouldn't matter. "Yeah that's right folks, I'm a five star criminal, guilty of breaking and entering, armed robbery, grand theft auto, vandalism, assault and battery, arson and what else, oh right assaulting a police officer too, my latest crime to add to the roster. But on a side note I have killed people before but only in self-defense and only if I had to, okay done freaking you guys out now, I'll just sit in the back with that one empty seat."

Dallas finally finished sounding way to chipper about what he'd just finished on, all eyes were on him as he walked up the steps to the one empty seat next to Lila Rossi, who didn't really seem all that phased by what he'd just finished saying to everyone. As the teacher began the lesson in hopes of everyone forgetting everything that Dallas had just put them all through Lila saw this as a chance to try and make him a new 'friend', or more accurately a new puppet.

"It's just so horrible you know…what our people have been put through." She began to spin a tale that she was certain he would foolishly believe with every single word, she figured that she didn't have to try and sell it too hard as her skin was dark enough. Dallas only looked at her through the corner of his eye as she spoke. "The British and the French had no right to do what they did to us during the French and Indian war, and as a result our once great people have been reduced to nothing but small town goers without so much as a prayer." She then turned to face him then said. "Sorry I don't think we've been properly introduced, I'm Lila…Lila Rossi."

She extended her hand to him, he could tell right away that she was lying through her teeth as it was one of his skills as a thief to be able to read people, but he wanted to play the long game and see just how far she was willing to go to try and sell this charade. He turned fully toward her then shook her hand while acting happy to make a new friend. "Nice to meet you, judging by your last name I'd say you're from either the Cherokee or Kiowa tribes, I'm guessing Kiowa."

What he'd said was a bit confusing to her, but she chose to run with it. She giggled to try and cement the topic before she said. "Good guess, how'd you know?" She pretended to be astonished by his answer, then he answered very casually.

"Spent some time in your tribal territory on the east coast, saw more of my fair share of your culture and history, also saw the grave sight of the legendary Crazy horse himself while I was there." He bated knowing very well that the Kiowa didn't live on the east coast or anywhere near it, or that Crazy horse wasn't actually a member of the Kiowa people.

"Ah Crazy horse, he's one of my tribes most famous braves ever, he was a great inspiration for me to not fear who ever stands against me." She continued her lie, then Dallas fed the fire even more.

"Is it because of his most famous victory at fallen timber?" He asked knowing that he never fought at fallen timber, and that the native Americans that fought there lost the battle.

She then answered thinking that he had fallen for it all hook line and sinker. "Actually yes, he was very brave to stand against that many soldiers with just a hand full of men."

Dallas knew that she was a liar, but if he didn't he would've thought she was telling the truth with how well she was able to adapt to a conversation. She's a pretty good actress, he thought to himself, too bad she's not as smart as she thinks. "Yeah, it was pretty inspiring with the way he won that battle…except, I honestly don't remember reading about it in any of our history books…" He began to burst her bubble, and expose her lie. "Mainly because he never fought at the battle of fallen timbers, also that he wasn't a member of the Kiowa he was Oglala Sioux, and he was a chief not a brave, oh and the Kiowa lived in the mountain/plain territories of Montana not the east coast, and if you were a native American you would know all of that, but you clearly don't because you're not a native American, I don't know why you thought it was a good idea to lie to me Lila, especially when it came to my culture but I honestly don't care because I'm not here to make friends with anyone, also next time you want to try and lie to me don't try to use my ancestral roots to do it because I've studied everything there is to know about the native American tribes, history and culture so don't think for a second that your lies will work on me." Dallas finally finished as he returned his focus to the front of the class.

Lila was startled by the fact that he'd beaten her at her own game, but even more so that he knew that she was lying to him with in a few seconds. "Oh, one more thing Liar…the next time you want to lie to someone, make sure that they're not the son of a master thief like me, I've been trained to spot a liar from a mile away so I can absolutely guarantee that you won't be able to pull the wool over my eyes any time soon." Lila knew that if she continued to try and trick him that she'd only end up making a fool of herself, or worse yet that everyone would take notice of how easily he was able to outwit and expose her lies, she just chose to remain silent for the rest of the time she sat next to him.

By the time that lunch had came around Dallas was sitting alone as everyone else sat away from him. Just like I planned, he thought to himself, around that time Adrien sat down in front of him and started to speak quietly. "What the hell was all of that? Are you trying to alienate yourself from everyone in the entire school?" Adrien asked in a whisper.

"You say that like that's a bad thing, well maybe it is for you Adrien but to me it's fine and dandy." Dallas replied with a smile.

Adrien didn't know why he thought that this was a good thing, he thought that he should take the opportunity to make new friends instead of scare people away on his first day of school. "Why would you think this is a good thing? And what's up with you telling everyone about your record? If people know about your past then they won't trust you." Adrien summed up, then Dallas retorted with.

"Or they'll see that I have nothing to hide and that I don't care what they think of me, because to be honest I don't care either way if anyone wants to be my friend or not because I'm not here to be buddies with anyone here, well maybe you but that's only because you get me."

Adrien was still trying to rap his head around his logic then said. "That doesn't make sense, normally people want to keep that stuff to themselves because it can ruin them for life." He said trying to convince Dallas he'd made an error in judgement.

"Only if you let it define who you are. It doesn't matter if they know or not Adrien because if I try to hide it then I'll just let it rule me for the rest of my life, to be honest I'd rather own my past not let it own me." Dallas stated with a confident grin.

"Oh Adrikens…" A voice cheered from behind him, Adrien turned around and there he saw Chloe walking toward him with her 'friend' Sabrina holding both Chloe's and her lunch trays. She walked over and sat down next to him and hugged his arm.

"Hey Chloe…" He said shyly, Dallas recognized her from earlier then began to mock her.

"Hey look it's little miss Muppet, who sat on her tuppet, back from eating her curds and way, after the spider, who sat down beside her, frightened miss Muppet away. Ah thank you, thank you all very much I'm her till Thursday, try the veal, but not really because baby cow is murder." He quipped feeling very clever about himself with his latest quip.

"Uck, it's you…shouldn't you be bear hunting or what ever it is you Lock sodas do in your free time."

Chloe said mockingly, but Dallas didn't let it phase him as he just responded with. "First of all sweetie, it's pronounced Lakota, but what should I expect from a dumb blond."

She clearly didn't like what he'd said then she snapped at him. "Excuse me?" Then Dallas came up with a clever zinger.

"Oh I'm sorry you must not understand smart people talk, here let me say it in your native tongue, DUUUUUUUUUUUUUH." That's when Chloe began to get mad at him.

"How dare you, who do you think you are?" She snapped at him from across the table.

"Do you have any idea of who she is?" Sabrina chimed in, Dallas began to rub his chin suggesting that he was beginning to put a few things together.

"Well if I had to guess I'd say she's the Peppermint Patty to your Marcie…" Both girls cocked their heads back confused as they gave a weird look. "Well primarily because you two give off a sort of lesbian kind of vibe, oh but I'm not judging, I think you girls make a pretty cute couple, but I'm guessing that blondie is the woman in your relationship sense your carrying her lunch like a dude carries his girls purse around, also sense she's probably too dumb to know how to use the strap on." Dallas quipped once again and loving the expression on Chloe's face just before she leapt at him screaming at the top of her lungs.

"I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S A LESBIAN, COME HERE YOU LITTLE…" But Adrien and Sabrina just struggled to hold her back as she tried to claw at him.

"Who-wee, she's just a little spitfire ain't she? You would make a good squwah to an apache brave." Dallas joked as she just kept on trying to tear Dallas apart.

"Chloe calm down, it was just a dumb joke he does this with everyone he meets." Adrien tried to sooth things over, until Dallas threw more fuel on the fire.

"Except the pretty girls that is, sorry sweetie but it had to be said." He sassed with a wide grin, and just as he planned she got even madder.

"WHEN I GET LOOSE I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR BALLS OFF YOU DISGUSTING LITTLE CRIMINAL SCUM BAG!" She bellowed with rage, Dallas then stood up and simply said to Adrien and Sabrina.

"Okay you two you can let her go." He continued to the far side of the room and stopped near the entrance.

"Are you crazy dude? She wants to kill you." Adrien protested, but Dallas just encouraged it.

"I'll be fine, come on sweetie…" He waved his fingers and said. "Come to daddy." That's when The two teens restraining her let Chloe go and she just barreled at him at top speed ready to tear him limb from limb, when he just side stepped and she tumbled into the trashcan he'd lined her up for perfectly. She shrilled and cursed so many racist things toward Dallas, but he just took it on the nose as he knew that he'd won the battle. "Like I said, dumb blond." He said with a smirk as he returned to the table and grabbed his lunch, then just because he could he walked back over to the same trashcan with her still in it and said. "Don't for get your lunch." Then he dumped it on her, she then started screaming and thrashing and kicking all about in the trashcan as she tried to get out and tear him a new one, but he just walked out laughing as he held his side. "Oh god it should be illegal for how funny that was." He chuckled as he walked out of the cafeteria.

No one left in the room said a word as Dallas just left, Adrien just hid his face in his hands and said. "How can this day get any worse?"

Outside of the cafeteria on the blacktop Alya and Marinette were in deep conversation about something that Nino had told Alya just after first period. "No joke Mari, he just shoved Kim in the trashcan and performed a little drum solo on him with a tennis racket, I swear that kid is nuts." Alya stated as she took a bite out of her sandwich.

"I just don't understand, why is he even in our school? Did he threaten the principle or something in order to come here? I'll bet he's only here so he can stalk me it's obvious that he has a crush on me if he's not just obsessed with me." Marinette voiced her concerns for herself, even though she knew all she had to do was turn into Ladybug and take him down if it ever came to that.

Alya was about to add to the topic when her phone buzzed, she opened it up and took one look at the screen before she burst out laughing. "What? What's so funny?" Marinette asked wanting to know the juicy bit of gossip.

"Look at what Milan just texted to me." Alya showed Marinette the phone screen and saw a video of Chloe falling into the trashcan, she slapped her hands over her mouth as she began to laugh.

"Oh my god, that is hilarious…" Unable to contain herself any longer Marinette fell over laughing at the video of Dallas's handy work.

"Wait there's more, just wait till the end." Marinette stopped laughing for a moment to see Dallas dump a tray full of food on her as he left the cafeteria, she burst out laughing even harder than a moment ago.

"Oh god this is too good." Marinette chuckled as she wiped away a tear of laughter.

"I know, oh god I don't know how he managed to make that happen but I don't care that was funny, I mean sure he still might be some creepy stalker who wants you all to himself but he knows how to make a good laugh." Alya stated while in mid laugh, but she then realized what she said wasn't much of a joke as much as it was a possibility. "Okay actually that last bit is not such a funny thing, just do me a favor Mari and don't go anywhere alone with that guy okay?" She asked pleading.

"Don't worry about me Alya I can take care of myself just fine." Marinette replied with confidence.

"Yeah I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one Mari…" A voice from just above them on the upper balcony said calmly, both girls looked up to see the very topic of their conversation eavesdropping on them.

"Hey Geronimo, private conversation here, so see your way out of it…" Alya sassed as she pointed up at him.

"Or what Oprah Winfery? Ya gonna blog mean things about me on your Lady-blog? Go right ahead, see if I care." He returned her sass. Alya was about to ask how he knew about her blog when he cut her off. "Oh and by the way you should invest in some better software security for your phone, the one you have is garbage, very easy to hack." He waved his phone in his hand showing that he'd gotten into her personal data.

"How the hell did you get all my personal information?" She shrilled feeling angry and terrified at the same time.

"Same way I got everyone's personal info, it's called a Wi-fi pineapple, all I gotta do is plug it into the local Wi-fi router and presto change-o I've got your most important information like your home address, your credit cards, your bank account information, your photos…shall I go on?" He asked rhetorically with a smug smile.

Alya and Marinette were enraged with his sudden reveal of his skills, and technology that he'd used to steal their private information. "I knew it, you are just a thief." Marinette shouted as she pointed a finger at him.

"I never denied that, in fact I even told you guys all that earlier during first period remember? Though personally it's not my fault that you guys were all dumb enough to set your phones to auto link with the schools Wi-fi connection, public Wi-fi access is basically a hackers bread and butter, so many dumb people link to it in places like coffee shops or public libraries to try and update their phones, but all they do is leave themselves vulnerable to a hacker to steal their personal information then sell it on the dark web to the highest bidder, it's that easy girls. That's why I only link to a private Wi-fi router, that way I don't get hacked and my personal stuff stays safe."

Both girls were both astonished by his knowledge as well as angry with him for doing what he'd done. "You better give back what you took right now." Marinette ordered as she stood up and stared daggers at him.

"Hey it's not my fault that this school has garbage security software, they should really invest in something a little better instead of blowing it all on…bathroom tiles? Really?" He snickered as he went through the school's digital budget.

That's when Marinette had had enough of his smart attitude and said. "Alya, hold my purse. I have to go and kick his ass." She handed her purse to Alya who then cheered.

"Yeah go get him Mari, show that little punk who he's messing with." She stormed up the steps then walked over to him with her nostrils flaring with rage.

She looks so cute when she's mad, Dallas thought to himself, wait what am I saying this isn't the time to think about how cute she is, or how adorable her nose looks when it's all scrunched up and…oh for god sake man snap out of it. Marinette squared herself up in front of him then growled. "Give back everyone's personal information now, I'm not asking you."

She looked him straight in the eye, he just smiled and said. "God damn, you've got as much bite as that Ladybug girl, I've gotta admit that's pretty hot…" Dallas then realized what he'd said sounded a bit perverted then tried to backpedal. "Uh not that I'm coming on to you or anything I'm just saying you turn me on, I MEAN it turns me on is what I'm saying I'm not trying to get you to sleep with me or anything I'm just saying that sort of stuff get's me in the mood, Uh not that I'm in the mood or anything I'm just saying…oh god now I'm rambling." He hid his face in one hand and started cursing himself mentally, what the fuck was that dude? You've literally had a shotgun barrel shoved into your mouth and you didn't flinch then, so why are you so fucking freaked out when you try to talk to her.

While he was distracted Marinette took this chance to swipe his phone from his hand. "HEY!" He cried as she threw it to the blacktop below, it shattered into pieces exposing everything on the inside, including the sim card, which Alya picked up and crushed in between her fingers. "Oops." She said smugly, Dallas then started clapping his hands slowly then said.

"Very smart, you knew it was the sim card that I needed not the phone itself, I tip my hat to you girls." Then he turned to Marinette and added. "Looks like you've protected your little web of secrets for now my dear, and I do mean for now."

Marinette then grabbed the collar of his shirt and snarled. "If you even think for even ONE second that I'll let you do this again you are sorely mistaken pal." She was trying to intimidate him but all he did was smile and say very smugly.

"Mari, if I can get all of that info without you knowing until it's too late do you really think it matters if you're on high alert? Besides that your about as scary as a new born puppy." That's when she kneed him in the groin so hard that his eyeballs bulged out of his head, then she slid underneath his left arm while holding onto his wrist then put him in a half-nelson then kicked him in the back of each knee sending him to the ground face first, then for good measure she put him in a choke hold using all her strength to force him into submission.

Holy shit she's stronger than she looks, he thought to himself while she had him restrained on the ground, this is actually kind of hot…oh for fuck sake focus you idiot you're getting shown up by a girl. Dallas did what ever he could think of to try and get loose but he had no way to escape, Marinette had performed this move on common street thugs numerus times and this was no different.

"So…still think I can't handle myself…punk!?" She asked as she held him firm in her grasp, eventually Dallas realized he wasn't getting out of this choke hold so he did what he never thought he'd ever do, he tapped out. "That's what I thought. Now are you gonna try hacking everyone in school again?" She asked demandingly, he just shook his head as he gasped for air. "Good, now behave yourself or else I'll rip your dick off next time." She threatened as she let him go, he started to gasp for air.

"Jesus, clearly you've done that before." He said panting.

"Maybe that will teach you not to judge a person before you get to know them." She replied, of course she realized that she was being a hypocrite but only slightly as she had a reason to be. She just walked past Dallas and back down to Alya where the two girls continued their lunch in peace.

She's drop dead gorgeous, quick witted and knows how to fight, Dallas thought to himself, she's perfect in every way, I must make her mine. He then rose to his feet and went off to retrieve his Wi-fi pineapple from the local router and took it back to his backpack in his locker, after he'd done so he was confronted by a very angry looking Adrien. "Oh hey foster bro." Dallas greeted warmly.

"What the hell was all of that out there?" Adrien opened up.

"Uh…I'm pretty sure your supposed to say hey Dallas what's up? You know cause that's how you greet someone who's already said hi to you." He joked even though he knew it would only make Adrien madder but he didn't care obviously.

"Why did you pick a fight with Marinette?" Adrien asked angrily, Dallas just laughed and said. "Not much of a fight really, she had me pinned to the ground like a four month old cafe ready for its first branding. You gotta admit that girl is a beauty, and kick ass when she wants to be. Not many people have ever done this but that girl has earned my respect." As Dallas tried to leave the locker room Adrien just stood in his way about to lay down the law. "Okay the only reason that I'm not forcing you out of my way is because your my foster brother and the only friend that I have and need in this city, so please move out of the way." Dallas asked politely, which was very rare for him.

"You see that's the problem Dallas…" Adrien stated while shaking his hands. "You only have one friend and that's me, and if you don't straighten up no one is going to be your friend because they won't want to be associated with you."

Then Dallas cocked an eye brow and asked casually. "And that's…bad?"

Adrien just stood there stunned for a moment by his response. "Well yeah."

Then Dallas simply began to explain a few things. "Listen Adrien, I know your worried about me being a social butterfly and all that but the truth is I don't really care if I have a lot of friends or not, mostly because I don't have the best track record when it comes to making friends, to be honest all my friends are usually good for nothing but stabbing me in the back, hell once it was literal…" He lifted up the back of his shirt and showed Adrien a series of scars from his past, there were bullet wounds, knife wounds, burns and a few claw marks, he wanted to ask about those but it seemed that Dallas was only interested by one of his knife wounds at the moment.

"You see this one right here?" He pointed to a scar right next to his spinal column. "Got that from a friend I had back in New York, thought I was trying to screw his little sister so he tried to make me a paraplegic, if I hadn't move just a little to the right he would've succeeded too. Sure in all fairness I wanted her but I wasn't trying to sleep with her at all, mainly because she was a lesbian and I was just trying to help smooth things over with her girlfriend, they got into this huge fight about her cheating on her and it all just spun out of control so fast that you wouldn't know which way was up." Dallas finally finished his tale and put his shirt down, Adrien then asked the burning question that was plaguing his mind.

"So…how did you get the other scars?" Dallas answered him with a grin. "Oh a bunch of ways…" He lifted his shirt again and pointed to each one individually and explained their origin. "Gang member, cop, cop, pimp, ex-girlfriend, broken skylight…I just slipped and fell with that one, then there was the soldier from fort Knox…"

Adrien had to stop him there for a second. "Wait…you actually broke into fort Knox?" He asked surprised.

"Just on a dare, some guy said that I couldn't do it and I told him I could, and I almost got out without a scratch if I hadn't blown my own cover with a damn sneeze, that's when the guy shot me in the back, oh but I survived obviously, got out with five bars of pure gold. Helped me get to Mexico where I laid low for a while, just a little tip, if a guy offers to buy you a shot of tequila DON'T drink the worm unless you want to see a lot of fucked up shit. Or wake up next to an old lady in your underwear." Dallas then shivered at the memory which he was thankful he didn't remember much of.

But Adrien wasn't interested in that so much as the claw marks. "And what about all the claw marks?"

Dallas then put his shirt down again and turned toward Adrien with a smile. "Now that is one hell of a story, the one where I earned this bracelet…" Dallas pulled up his sleeve to reveal a hand woven bracelet with the claws of a mountain lion strung threw the outer cord, it was also decorated with brown and white beads and a few feathers. "When I was 8 my cousin took me hunting with him in the smoky mountains, we had just nabbed this massive bull elk when a ghost of the Rockies snuck up on me and tried to make me her next meal…" Dallas began to tell his tale, but Adrien didn't really understand the term he'd used.

"I'm sorry but…ghost of the Rockies?" He asked with confusion.

"Mountain lion, that's just one of the many names that they've earned over the years from hunters who have dared to make them their pray, their also called cougars, fire cats, shadow cats, screamers, pumas, panthers, and my personal favorite hell cats, anyway the little bitch snuck up on me and started to claw me, her claws peeled my skin like an apple until I managed to slit her throat, after that my cousin took me to a hospital to get fixed up, but not before he collected the claws and a few ribs from that cougar, I didn't know why until he took me with him to a black-foot reservation where a local shaman made them into a bracelet for me, this very bracelet I'm wearing right now, said that I could move and stalk just like a panther now, so long as I wear it that is. Traditionally they give you a neckless for such a kill but my cousin told the shaman to make it into a bracelet instead just to fuck with me, mainly because I thought bracelets were only for girls, but I didn't want to be rude after he works so hard on it so I just accepted it without complaining, and eventually I just got over my little opinion about bracelets being only for girls."

Adrien just marveled at the bracelet, each individual bead had a bazar looking carving into it, the cord was woven into a rope like fashion and the feathers were decorated with dots of multiple colors, he'd never seen craftmanship quite it before. "So this was all handmade?" Adrien asked curiously and enviously.

"Yep, took three days for the shaman to finish, he wanted to do it right and that's exactly what he did." The bell rang signaling that lunch was over then both boys went onto their next classes. But before they left Adrien had one last thing to say.

"Dallas…" He said hopeful that he'd listen, Dallas stopped and turned to face him. "I'm not even going to try and understand what you've gone through because…well let's face facts there's literally no way that's ever going to happen with all the crap you've gone through, but you need to understand that not everyone is the same as the people you've come to know most of your life. So if you could just do me a favor and give them all a chance you might be surprised with what you find."

Dallas saw the wisdom in his words, but simply responded with. "Maybe your right, maybe I will be surprised…but then again, maybe not, I'll just have to wait and see now won't I?"

After a few more hours school had finally ended and kids were being let out of their classes and beginning to grab their things from their lockers, when officer Roger was being dragged in by Chloe Bourgeois toward Dallas Jones for some unknown reason. "There he is officer, I demand that you arrest that little thief." She barked with anger.

Dallas looked up and smirked before joking. "Hey Little miss Muppet and Chief Wigom from the Simpsons, what can I help you with today?"

Officer Roger stepped forward and pulled his pants up slightly then stated with a certain level of authority. "We received a call from Ms. Bourgeois saying that someone stole her new bracelet, she also said that the culprit looked a lot like you Mr. Jones."

Dallas rolled his eyes and sounding annoyed stated. "Oh typical, blame the guy who isn't white because there's no such thing as a white criminal in today's society."

Chloe then pointed her finger in Dallas's face and said. "Don't play the victim Jones, you said it yourself that you have a record and I know it was you who took my bracelet and I want it back." She glared at him with her hand extended waiting for Dallas to return the bracelet, but he just stood aside and said.

"If you're so sure I took it then feel free to search my locker, backpack and of course my person officer. I have nothing to hide." He said loud enough for everyone in the locker room to hear him. All eyes were on officer Roger and Dallas as he searched Dallas's locker for the bracelet, then officer Roger searched the bag, then gave Dallas a pat down, the only bracelet he found was the one he'd already owned.

"I'm sorry Ms. Bourgeois but I'm afraid it's not here or on his person." Officer Roger announced to the disgruntled Chloe.

"But he has to be the one, I just know it was him, he took it and I want it back now!" She demanded as she stared daggers at the officer. Before things could escalate any further Dallas stepped in and asked casually. "What exactly did it look like?"

She shifted her focus to Dallas and sneered. "As if you don't know." Dallas then said smugly. "Refresh my memory then." She then crossed her arms and looked away from him then began to describe her bracelet. "It's made of rose gold, encrusted with Mediterranean pearls and engraved with my name on the inside of the band."

Dallas then said with a chipper voice. "Oh that was yours? Well why didn't you say so, I took that to the principal's office, I found it just outside of the cafeteria, it looked really expensive but I didn't know who it belonged to, also I didn't know if you were that same Chloe and I didn't want to risk giving it to the wrong owner so I just left it in the office for safe keeping." Chloe's jaw dropped open as did more than half the room, even officer Roger was surprised. "What, is it that hard for you all to believe that I can be a good Samaritan when I want to be?" Dallas said with a hint of annoyance, then everyone in the room just looked away feeling ashamed that they had all judged him so harshly, all except Chloe of course.

"Well until I have my bracelet back I will not give you the benefit of the doubt Jones." She marched out of the room and went straight to the principal's office, where to her surprise she found her lost bracelet. As she left the office she saw Dallas standing outside the door smiling very smugly.

"Happy now princess." She didn't say a word, she just growled and walked away from him. "I'll take your silence as a thank you sweetie." Dallas began to walk toward the front entrance of the school when he was stopped by the entire student body.

"Hey uh…Dallas." Kim called out to him, he stopped then turned to face everyone else. "What?" He growled sounding angry. "We uh…wanted to say sorry for…you know, everything. Adrien said that you weren't a bad guy and…well it's not often for him to misjudge someone…so maybe we could…you know start fresh?"

Kim extended his hand to Dallas, Dallas smiled and said. "Apology accepted uh…what was your name again?" Kim smile back and replied. "Names Kim, but I assure you I'm not related to Kim Jong-un in anyway."

Dallas began to snicker. "Wait, you mean your name is actually Kim? Oh damn I was only joking earlier, it's not often that I name someone with their actual name." After a few more apologized Dallas had finally started to convince most of the other students that he wasn't as bad as they made him out to be, all accept Marinette and Alya who came up to him and asked directly.

"Okay Jones, if your not as bad as you really are then why did you hack everyone's personal data and steal their personal information?" Alya seethed with anger, Dallas simply smiled and said.

"To prove a point…" Both girls were confused by this, until he explained. "I'm a criminal that much is true and that will follow me around forever, but just because I can do something that doesn't mean I'm going to do it."

Then Marinette chimed in. "But you did do it, you hacked our personal information and stole it all."

Dallas quickly countered. "Technically yes, but I didn't keep what I hacked from you, I had no intention of keeping it, in fact I had every notion to erase everything I copied from you all, if anything I would've just kept up the charade that I'd stolen anything from them just by mentioning a picture that they had or something, but then you two broke my phone, which by the way you both owe me a new phone."

Both girls walked away still angry that they'd been outsmarted by him, not long after Adrien came up to him and said. "I'm sorry about Chloe, she's a bit possessive when it comes to her things."

Dallas just smiled back at Adrien and said. "Don't be, she was right…"

Adrien's jaw just dropped then he said. "Wait, you mean you did steal her bracelet? Why? And how?"

Dallas then began to explain his elaborate plan he'd come up with from the beginning of the day. "Well it all started with when I told everyone about my record, like I told you at lunch I wanted to get in control of the roomers before they got out of hand. That's when Chloe Bourgeois came up all bitchy and started doing what she does best, being a bitch, so when I started to piss her off I knew my plan was working perfectly, and when I noticed that she had something in her pocket I knew it looked expensive and important to her, so in the split second that I side stepped out of her way when she fell in the trashcan I pick pocketed her and let her fall face first into the can, and while everyone was focused on her I stuffed it into my pocket without anyone being the wiser, then I took it to the principal's office and told him I found it outside the girls bathroom, I knew she'd call the cops on me which is why I allowed the officer to search me, and when he found nothing It would show everyone that I wasn't just some thug." Adrien's mind was blown with the elaborate explanation. "So…you mean to say you committed a crime…to prove you weren't a criminal?" Adrien asked still confused.

"No, I committed a crime to show people that I'm trying to change, or at the very least to keep them guessing, either way I win, as you can see Mr. Agreste there is a method to my madness." Dallas laminated finely.

"Oh god my head hurts." Adrien said as he began to rub his eyes.

"It's better if you don't think about it." Dallas stated as he patted him on the back.

"I really underestimated you Dallas." Adrien admitted as they began to leave the building.

"Mm-hm, I'm just as crafty as Iktomi himself." Dallas announced, Adrien then asked sort of confused.

"Iktomi? Who's that? Some native American warrior or something?"

Dallas then began to explain. "More like the spider-trickster spirit of the Lakota, well actually it's sort of a ruff translation really, it's our official word for spider, also spider-man oddly enough or simply the trickster, bottom line my people have a cultural connection with spiders, in fact a lot of the tribes do." Dallas was about to tell him more when he was cut off by the sound of a horn honking, both boys looked up and saw the Gorilla waiting for them in Mr. Agreste's limo. "Oh look it's Megillah gorilla sporting his not so famous stick up the ass expression." Dallas quipped, Adrien didn't get that reference then asked.

"Who?" Dallas then turned toward Adrien with a dead pan look.

"Tell me your joking, you don't know Megillah gorilla? From cartoon network's boomerang? God you Frenchie's, to busy with all your French berets and your croissants, and your probably to busy with your modeling career."

Adrien quickly denounced. "I don't do that much modeling."

Dallas began to mock him. "Oh please, ooh look at me I'm a teen model, I parade around on stage in my underwear like a peacock to let complete and total strangers take pictures of me so they can either sell them on line to pedophiles or keep them for them selves but either way someone somewhere is masturbating to my picture." Dallas strutted around a bit and took a few poses to sell the joke, Adrien was about to tell him to knock it off when the horn honked again. "YEAH yeah hold your horses Cocoa, before I show you the only word in sign language I know." Dallas shouted to the body guard, who just growled in his seat. "Come on, we'd best get going before Gorilla Grawd starts throwing shit everywhere, or is that chimps?" Dallas asked as he rubbed his chin, but Adrien was quick to decline.

"I've actually got other plans tonight, I'm taking my girlfriend out for dinner to this place she's been dying to go to sense it opened."

Dallas's face grew wide with a grin. "Ohhh, having a romantic evening are we? Let me guess, candle lite dinner, a full string orchestra, a romantic dance under a moon lite sky, and then later you two go for a lovely carriage ride through the park were you end your date sharing a glass of champagne at the top of the Eiffel tower…"Adrien was about to explain that he'd gone just a little overboard with the romantic seen when he quickly finished. "Then when she's all liquored up ya yank off her panties and throw her to the ground where ya nail her as hard as you can in the moon light."

Adrien's jaw dropped upon that last bit, then he just shouted. "NO, my god what is wrong with you?"

Dallas quickly shrugged his shoulders and said. "What? That's how I get laid."

Adrien then punched Dallas in the shoulder as he just chuckled at Adrien. "You're perverted." Adrien threw in his face. But Dallas just took it on the chin.

"All I'm saying is that's the perfect scenario for some hot virgin action, she'll be all OH…YEAH…GIVE IT…TO ME…YEAH, and your all OH…YEAH…TAKE IT…OH…YEAH…BABY…SAY MY…NAME!" He joked playfully, but Adrien didn't think he was funny at all. "Oh come on dude, I was just kidding." Dallas shoved him playfully.

"Dallas I already told you, I'm not looking for something that serious yet." Adrien stated yet again, this time a bit more firm.

"And I respect that, I'm just giving you a little advice for when you make your move, whenever that's gonna be." Dallas clarified very nonchalantly. "Oh and just a little pointer, work your tongue around her cilt, she'll love that."

Adrien had decided that he'd had enough of his perversion and just shouted at him. "Would you just get out of here?!"

Dallas took that as his cue to leave. "Okay I'm going sheesh. Just remember to bring a bottle of asstro-glide and a trojan." He joked, then Adrien threw a shoe at his head, it connected with him and he stumbled a bit. "Okay I guess I earned that one." He said with a smile as he continued to the car and got in.

Adrien just walked over to collect his shoe, as he began to lace it back up he just groaned to himself. "Americans." Inside of his pocket Adrien could here the laughter of his kwami growing ever so louder. Adrien looked inside his pocket and saw Plagg just holding his stomach as he laughed like a hyena. "Really?"

Was all Adrien said as his kwami kept on laughing. "I'm s…I'm s…I'm sorry kid…but that dude is funny as hell." Adrien just rolled his eyes then stood back up then began his walk to Marinette's house, as he passed by an alley way he was pulled in from behind then shoved up against the wall, he was about to scream for help when he saw he was in no danger at all.

"Going somewhere kitty?" Marinette asked just before she pulled his head in for a kiss, ever sense they started dating she'd become much more confident, and also very passionate when it came to their romance. As their lips locked Adrien hoisted her up holding her close to his chest as she wrapped her legs around him as tight as she could.

Adrien pulled away from the kiss just for a moment to say. "Hope you weren't waiting too long my princess."

She just whispered in his ear very flirtatiously. "Not as long as when I first wanted you." She then nibbled on his ear seductively, he had to fight off his desires to have his way with her, he knew that she was willing to wait until he felt that they were ready for true intimacy, but she certainly wasn't making it easy for him to keep control of himself.

Oh god Mari you're killing me, he thought to himself as he bit down on his bottom lip. She then pulled away and smiled.

"I guess someone's a little excited." She said flirtatiously as she briefly shifted her eyes downward towards his… "Oh god…sorry I didn't mean to…I mean I…your very beautiful Marinette and…" He started to ramble until she put a finger to his lips and whispered.

"Shh, don't worry kitty…I made a promise and I intend to keep it. But if you'll indulge me…" She then began to lay out a proposal. "Until we're ready, I was wondering if you would mind if we just…you know…sampled the goods until harvest." She tried to sound romantic but it sounded so corny. "Ugh that sounded so much sexier in my head."

Adrien chuckled a bit then said. "I guess I can compromise with that, but only when were somewhere private, I don't want a repeat of the library from last week, deal?" Just the week before Marinette had pulled the same trick on him in the school library thinking that they were alone so they began to…show each other just how much they loved each other, when they were interrupted by Kim who had chosen to document the whole thing with his smartphone. It was fairly obvious that they were embarrassed as he just had to post the video on his face book page, Marinette wanted to kill him too, literally.

Marinette nodded her head yes and said. "Deal." That's when Adrien began to kiss her neck tenderly, she let out moans of pleasure as he continued to bring her romance. "Oh god…Adrien…don't stop." She begged.

He looked up at her for a moment and said. "Never crossed my mind." Then he continued with his tender moment of pure love, both of them happier than they ever had before and neither of them willing to let go of the other, but little did they know Lila was watching them from across the street seething with rage as she saw them engaged with one another.

Jealousy had consumed her as she saw her rival take pleasure in the boy she wanted all to herself, but she knew she would never have him, not after what he'd said weeks before. "I hate them…" She said loathing their relationship. "Especially her, he should be mine, he should've been mine…" Then she got an idea, a very dark evil wicked idea, then she smiled a sinister smile. "And he will be mine, or he'll burn."

(A/N: Uh-oh what's Lila gonna do? I don't even know yet and I'm the writer, ha-ha just kidding I know exactly what she's gonna do but that's for a chapter farther in, that's right yet another cliff hanger that you'll have to wait for a while, not sorry. In the next chapter of WOS Marinette and Adrien go to the Scarlet Seahorse and Adrien's father with Dallas as well as a represent of child services, and the Romani rollers make a ransom demand, who's it for? Find out in the next chapter.)
