Okay. first I'm going to apologize on my mispronounciation on Marinette's name. I totally thought it was Marionette for some reason lol. I'm kinda too lazy to go back and fix it in previous chapters but if it truly bothers my readers I will go back and fix it. (please don't care I put her name to much ~).

Well now Disclaimer( do I have to put this everytime? I mean first chapter feels like it's enough)

Disclaimer: I do not own Miraculous: Ladybug.

Read&Review

Chapter 4

Two years later

"Hahaha so, what happened next." Alya asked as Luka was telling them of his morning.

"Well after Juleka pancake hits our moms face she tells me to fetch my guitar and we start a song about face pancakes!"

That sent everyone into a chorus of laughter.

Things had changed once Adrien was confirmed to be the superhero Chat Noir. There was suddenly no more Akumas and Paris was calm again. Even Ladybug only ever came out for simple robberies and petty criminals. At school students used to be depressed until the day Luka, Juleka's older brother, came to school. He had been a light of hope to the dark classmates...especially to Marinette. This was all nearly two years ago.

"So anyone ready for the Christmas ball?" Mylène asked the group.

" I am!" Ivan exclaims as he grabs her hand. He and Mylène were seeing each other now and were going together.

"We figured you'd be." Alya giggled at Ivan's excitement. Mylène was good for him, she brought out a side of him most didn't see.

"Speaking of the Christmas ball, Marinette would you be my plus one." Luka says.

Everyone eyes turn to her to hear her response. Though this wasn't the first time Luka had invited her to a party—and not the first time for this particular one.

"Um..I don't know…" she said shyly.

Before anyone could blink Alya grabbed Marinette and moved them far away from the group.

"Marinette .hell."

"W-What do you mean?"

" I thought you were starting to like Luka. What was that whole talk we had yesterday if you didn't."

" I do! It's just.. you know I don't have much experience with guys.. I don't really know what to do."

"Step one: agree to go with Luka to the ball."

" but what if I mess up and he ends up not liking me. I could trip and embarrass him in front of everyone or I could splash punch on him or I can even—"

"Okay okay!" Alya laughed at her best friend. She honestly missed the way Marinette would get all flustered and jump to conclusions. It was truly a miracle that Luka was able to bring her out of her shell. He was truly something, not only did he help Marinette but he also became a great friend to Nino.

She knew there would always be a hole in their hearts no matter how hard they tried to hide it but she was glad that they were genuinely getting better.

" You'll be fine Marinette. I think Luka truly likes you."

"How can you be sure?"

Sometimes Alya wondered how her best friend could be so oblivious.

" I just know." she sighed." Now let's get back to the group."

They made their way back to where everyone sat for lunch and sat down in their original spots.

" Luka I believe Marinette has something to tell you." Alya said firmly. She figured she'd help push things along.

" You do Marinette?" Luka asked in wonder. Alya could detect a bit of hope in his tone.

"Um...yeah I do.. I'd like to be your plus one." Marinette said. Her face was as bright as a tomato.

"Really? That's great!"

The girls in their group started oooing and awwing as the guys clapped Luka on his back for his awesome success.

Ding ding ding

That was the bell signaling lunch was over. Everyone made their way back to their classes while Luka asked Marinette to hang back with him.

" What's wrong Luka?" Marinette asked as she saw the look in his eyes.

" Are you sure you want to go with me? I don't want you to be forced to."

" why would you think I'd be force to?"

"Well you and Alya were talking after I asked and you weren't sure beforehand. Once you two were done you agreed to go with me. I just don't want you to feel forced,ya know?"

Marinette truly was amazed by how much Luka cared. She decided to show him just how serious she was to go with him.

She stood on her tiptoes and leaned forward to place a short kiss on his cheek.

" No one forces me to do anything. I'm going with you because I really want to.." Marinette said as her face was lit up once again.

"C-Cool.. um y-yeah." Luka couldn't even get a complete sentence out as his face was heating up from Marinette's boldness.

"Let's head back to class Luka." Marinette said as she turned back towards where class was.

Later that day after Marinette had hung out with her friends she had gotten a call from her mother.

" Hey Mama!"

"Marinette, How was school?"

"It was great Mama. I had a wonderful day."

"Hm..something's different about my daughter. Did you talk with that boy you told me and your father about?"

Marinette let out a giggle at that. Her mother knew whenever something had changed with her and it was a bit unnerving. She called it "mother's intuition".

" Yes Mama. I did talk to him."

"And?"

"We're going to the Christmas ball together."

Marinette had to pull her phone away from her ear as she heard the loud scream from her mother.

"Mama! Was that necessary" Marinette giggled out.

"That was your father hun." her mother laughed back.

"We gotta get you a dress for the ball and me and your father have to make the pastries soon." her mother said like she was making a to-do list.

" Actually Mama I was going to wear this dress I was making."

" Are you sure Marinette? The ball is this Saturday."

" I'm almost done with the dress. I'm sure it'll be ready the day before."

"Alright Marinette. See you soon."

"Bye Mama."

Marinette soon started to make the trek back home to her family's bakery.

It was getting dark out but she was sure she'd make it before it got too late.

"Hey Marinette!" Tikki called to her human friend as she got out of her bag.

" oh hey Tikki. We're heading home now so you'll have some more cookies to eat."

"Not that Marinette. I want to talk about you and Luka." Tikki said happily.

"Not you to Tikki" Marionette sighed. Ever since Luka asked her out everyone had been pestering her over it. In fact that's what most of her friends conversations were about when they recently hung out.

" Sorry Marinette but it's amazing to see you grow in confidence like that."

"Thanks Tikki. It wasn't much—" Marinette stopped talking when she heard a sound coming from the nearby alley way. She thought maybe it was just a dog until something green whizzed fight to her face.

"Marinette,Tikki! Thank goodness you were nearby." said Wayzz with worry.

"What's wrong Wayzz?" Tikki flys over to him.

"It's Master he was attacked!"

"What!?" Marinette and Tikki both yelled out.

"Follow me."

Wayzz led them all the way where Master Fu was. He was leaning against a dumpster and he had a few cuts and bruises along his body.

" Master I've brought Marinette and Tikki!"

"Wayzz good job.." Master Fu coughed up slightly before he continued talking. " Marinette.."

"Don't talk Master you need a doctor." Marinette said as she grabbed her phone from her purse.

"No doctors!" He said firmly.

Marinette took pause from the tone of his voice.

"If they found out I survived their assassin. No hospital would be safe."

" Well you need medical attention. What's going on Master Fu?" Marinette said. She had half a mind to call for an ambulance but she trusted that what Master Fu was saying was true.

" I didn't think they'd come here to Paris." he said softly.

" What-what do you mean? Who's come to Paris?"

Master Fu tried to lean forward but only managed to move up slightly.

"I will tell you once we can put these somewhere safe." Master Fu spoke. He then brought out his pack that held the Miracle box; the home of the Miraculouses.

"Will my bakery do?" Marinette offered.

"That'll do just fine."

Marinette turned to Tikki as she gave her a nod.

"Tikki, spots on!"

Marinette help Master Fu onto her back and jumped roof top to roof top all the way home.

However, there was a slight bump on the way there and since there was a small opening in the bag that carried the Miracle box, one of the sacred Miraculous fell out and plummeted to the ground below. Neither Master Fu or Marinette noticed this and continued onward.
