Adrien had woken up early this morning to find a date to the fall masquerade. So far he had no luck. " Why don't you take a piece of cheese as your date, you can eat it, you know? " Adrien's eyes shifted to a photo of him, Nino, Alya and... Marinette! " Of course, Plaag! " " You're going to take cheese as your date!? Finally you listen to me! " " No, I'm never going to take cheese you silly kwami! I'm going to take Marinette! We can go as friends! " "Thought so" Plaag sighed.

Few hours later, school had started and Marinette was listening to Alya's description of yesterday's akumatized person. " - and then Ladybug did her lucky charm and she got a pencil, and- " Marinette glanced away and spotted Adrien waving to her through a sea of students. She waved back awkwardly and turned her head away to Alya's description of yesterday's events.

She avoided Adrien all day even though it looked like he was trying to get her attention. No, it couldn't be! But Marinette decided to figure it out. After school, he tried to get Marinette's attention one more time. And this time it worked. Marinette walked up to Adrien and he talked first. " Why have you been avoiding me all day?" " I was really busy today!" she said sheepishly. " Okay" Adrien said, happy that she wasn't stammering any more. "Do you want to go to the Fall Masquerade with me?" Marinette looked very surprised, that was not what she expected and Adrien thinking that he must have insulted her, said "Only if you wanted to, you know." Marinette had an awkward way of saying yes." We can go as friends yeah, I know, you're hot, I mean aren't you overheating in here? "That means yes,right?" said confused Adrien. "Yes, I would love to go with you, Adrien!" she tried to say without stammering. Great, see you next week. Little did Marinette know but Alya was watching from behind a plant. "Girl she bounced away from the plant and hugged Marinette. "You finally got a date with Adrien! I know it's just a masquerade he wants to go as friends, so that's at least something, we got to pick what you have to wear what kind of purse you are going to bring and you're going to go with me and Nino so we can go on a double date masquerade!" "Yay!" Marinette screamed. The next day Alya was in her room going through all her things to see what she would wear. "Girl you really need new clothes. "I know but I love my clothes so just find one of those blue glittery ball gowns I have or I will stitch something." "Okay but relax, Girl." "You're right, Alya," said Marinette. I'll go take a walk near the school" She left and when she passed an alleyway. She felt a hand pull her inside. "Hi, Marinette." It was the shady exchange student. "Hi" she stammered. Would you like to go to the Fall Masquerade with me, Princess? That was the nickname only Cat Noir used but Master Fu said that he was not Cat Noir. " You better except, Mari!" "Yes" she said. "See you, Princess" Lexis said.
