So, this Is a small different chapter that I imagined going between the last chapter and the next. this won't involve any plot development or be relevant at all

Giving all the things that are coming. I decided that a small fun, drama free self-contained chapter was perfect but feel free to skip it if you want. This is just goofy and romantic chapter and that´s all. no clues or secrets either, this is just a chapter for all the shippers.

After this special chapter you can say goodbye to author´s notes and to this level of goofiness, don´t worry there will still be romance but scenes like the Chinese cakes of the firsts chapter´s and Marinette with the chat noir mask there won´t be any more of those. But romance and adorable scenes still coming. just know goofiness will be far less beyond this point. For me, it´s really after this chapter that we begin the final stretch to the end.

With that, I say my goodbyes until the author´s note after the final chapter (chapter 16).

Another sunny happy day on Paris with another reunion of the bugginetes. This was a special one since Alya decided to do it a" fun reunion" but for that, it would need to be done indoors. Marinete offered her house and snacks and everyone agreed on a fun afternoon reunion, whatever that meant for Alya. Marinette was so content with Adrien and with everything that she wasn´t even scared of bugginetes reunion anymore. In fact, now it seemed less than a reunion but more like a double date.

The two couples were smiling. Adrien and Marinette snuggled up on the couch while Alya and Nino worked as a duo to set everything up. To each couple, it was like the other wasn´t even there. Marinette and Adrien were so caught on kissing and hugging and whispering between them that completely ignored the Alya and Nino. To be fair, Nalya also seemed to ignore the other duo.

"Okay, today I have the great idea of playing this game created by me called "who are ladybug and chat noir?" "

Adrien and Marinette both looked at each other nervously. Adrien guessed she was nervous about him but in fact, she was nervous about them both. Luckily before their looks spoke even louder Nino intervened

"so Cool! a game created by my girl, I guess that goal isn´t really to find the superheroes' secret identities "

Alya laughed while Adrien and Marinette both exhaled hard. Alya then explained her game

"Of course, not silly. These games are couple´s games to find out which couple is more like ladybug and cat noir "

Adrien politely tried to explain to Alya

"You do know ladybug and cat noir aren't a couple, right?"

Adrien pointed that out hoping Marinete wouldn´t be jealous of Ladybug. They had never discussed his relationship with ladybug so Adrien was afraid Marinette might not understand his partnership with ladybug. Alya continued to be unhelpful with her already pre-programmed answer

"Not yet! But I mean I got you two together so it´s only a matter of time before I get those two together too. One day they will be married, have 3 kids and a hamster and we´ll have these fun reunions together. Us six together playing, would be awesome !"

Marinete and Adrien both coughed. Adrien because he was worried that would spark jealously between his lady and his princess. Marinete embarrassed and with the guilt of Adrien not knowing her secret. If they were ever got to the point of marriage and kids Marinette would have to tell her secret but not now or today. Today was a fun day!

"Okay let's just play! "

said Marinette hoping to distract everyone

An hour later and Alya and Adrien were facing quizzes to see who knew more about Ladybug. Marinete and Nino were supposed to help but Nino seemed not to know as much as Alya. Marinette afraid they would get suspicious of her preferred to be quiet. Also, Adrien seemed to have that on the bag. Adrien and Alya both seemed determined in winning and it was clear on their eyes just how much each wanted to win. Adrien had to prove himself as ladybug partner. Alya as ladybug number one fan and creator of the Ladyblog had her reputation on the line.

They seemed tied none missing a single answer. Alya was about to ask Adrien the last question.

"When did ladybug and cat noir kissed?"

Adrien stared blankly. He knew about the kiss with ladybug but to answer that question could make Marinette jealous. Besides he didn´t know when it had happened. He didn´t know the answer and his confidence about winning was shattered until suddenly Marinette got up of her chair and moved closer before replying very shily

"14th of February, saint valentine's day, it was the only way to defeat dark cupid!"

Everyone stared at her and she hid her face of shame.

She hadn´t answered a single question and suddenly she had just answered the winning question. Alya dropped her mouth in shock

Her cheeks were red until suddenly she felt someone picking her up, it was Adrien. He hugged her before extending his arm and looking at her. Marinette recognized that look and knew what it meant.

"Pound it "

Both said simultaneously.

"Nice job my lady"

he said laughing to which she responded with a nervous giggle. Alya frowned upset

"Not so fast Agreste there is still one last game to play and since Marinette barely played anything today, she will play it instead and with Nino"

Marinette reached forward excited that she and Adrien were winning.

"Bring it on"

Alya smirked as she pulled a cat-shaped cardboard out.

"Great! you go first to put the tail on chat "

Marinete laughed unable to keep her poker face at Alya's creativity for games. Alya joined her friend and soon Nino was laughing too. Adrien frowned first but soon began laughing too.

Soon after everyone stopped laughing Marinette was ready to play. Alya turned her around her so many times around that at that point she didn´t even know where the cardboard chat was. She felt dizzy which was surprising since as ladybug she never got dizzy.

She despite that kept walking and turning hoping to find that chat. Suddenly she heard Adrien beginning to give her instructions. Marinette turned in his direction following his voice however before she could do anything else, she tripped. Adrien immediately jumped to catch her.

"Are you okay?"

He asked worried, Marinette taking the blindfold answered

"Yeah I am fine"

Alya helping Marinette get up

"too bad the tail didn´t even go close to chat"

Marinete and everyone began to look for the tail. Marinete was the first to see it glued on Adrien's shirt. Grabbing the tail, she whispered to his ear

"I guess I win "

Adrien began laughing and Marinette too. Nino and Alya joined them thinking it was just a laugh about Marinette´s clumsiness.

Nino obviously did a better job and won. They continued playing several games and after playing everything and eating all pastries had at her house. There was still no winner, leaving everyone disappointed.

"We played everything "

Adrien then suggested

"how about we just play something else?"

Alya's eyes sparked with the idea. She knew the perfect game

"isn´t that the dancing game you and Nino are super good at?"

Alya smirked proudly

"it´s more than that. It´s about teamwork and partnership. what better fit to choose the ladybug and chat noir of this group "

Marinette and Adrien went first but she ended up tripping on him. Alya then already lifting her best friend encouraged her

"come on girl! Don´t make it so easy just relax and work with Adrien"

Adrien stared at her for a minute and extended his hand to her. she blushed at the look he gave her. it was the same look he gave her when he gave her his own umbrella. the look that made her fall for him

"Follow my lead "

He whispered, and Marinette took a deep breath. letting her ladybug instincts work and trusting Adrien

They were unstoppable and only after a few moves Alya and Nino already had their jaws on the floor

It was like those were two different people disguised as their best friends. they bitted the record and continued adding points. With the song over, they knew it was time for their big finish.

Jumping off the platform simultaneously both pounded it.

With the song over, everything was now silent. Then Nino began clapping followed by Alya.

Marinette and Adrien were now officially the ladybug and chat noir of the bugginetes. They smiled proud of that day and their relationship. Alya and Nino also celebrated with a hot chocolate at the chat noir café offered by the winners.

I hoped you liked this chapter. I tried to do something different and sweet. It isn´t perfect but honestly to make it 100% I would have to rewrite everything. Anyway, I know it´s weak but again it´s for the ships and fun. Next chapters will be a lot stronger believe me so this chapter is just to allow you to breathe and enjoy the ships before we sail to the last chapters .

This is the so-called calm before the storm. I don´t know when the next chapter will be ready since it´s a little behind but keep checking my bio because eventually, I will post a date for it. It might take a week or so since the next chapter needs to be perfect.

honestly, the next chapter and the final chapter are the most important chapters in the whole story and they need to be well done.
