Adrien sat on the pink chaise long on Marinette´s room. He could tell she had removed all his pictures from the walls and he wondered if it had been for him coming there or because of embarrassment after Troublemaker.

Marinette had disappeared downstairs saying she had to get some things to show him. Marinette was so nice. She even created a plan to help him conquer his lady´s heart. Adrien rejoiced himself thinking how lucky he was to get Marinette´s help. Plagg meanwhile just sniggered and ate cheese all the way there and until now. Since she was being such a good friend maybe Adrien could tell her the truth about him being Chat and Ladybug being the love of his life. We would tell her but first he wanted his Bugaboo to be the first to know. Second, he knew as much he wanted to, telling her would put her in danger as a civilian and he didn´t want that , so he would avoid anything that might give his secret away .One thing was certain if he did ended up getting his Lady he would definitely invite Marinette to the wedding for all the help she was giving him.

Meanwhile downstairs while Marinette gathered the last things she needed and tried to calm herself down enough not to spill the baked goods. Tikki asked her:

"Are you sure you are that willing to help Adrien to get another girl? "

Marinette sighed, laid the pastries on the table before telling her kwami.

"Tikki I love Adrien but he doesn´t seem to love me. He only sees me as a friend and I guess that´s all I will ever get to be. I just want him to be happy with whoever he loves even if hurts me at least he will be happy and that´s all I want! "

Tikki smiled to Marinette. She was proud of her and how mature Marinette was being. Of course, part of that smile was because she knew exactly who Adrien´s love interest was. She wouldn´t admit it but a part of her, despite being scared , hoped it would lead to a reveal. She then snuggled on Marinette´s check before whispering into her ear:

"I am really proud of you. Adrien is very lucky to have you!"

Marinette faked a smile before grabbing the baked goods and sprinting upstairs.

Adrien almost fell of the chair when Marinette walked in. His head was completely lost on Marinette and how amazing she was. She was so supportive and willing to help plus she was smart and creative.

Marinette before she could do anything about it commented before starting laughing at Adrien´s hilarious scared face:

"Aren´t you a scaredy cat?"

Adrien began laughing too until he noticed the huge amount of different and beautiful number of cupcakes, macarons and all the delicious things she had brought. She quickly saw the way he looked at those baked goods and offered a ladybug inspired macaron.

"WOW! You really know how to entertain guests . if this is your welcoming then I should come here more times. "

He told her as he tasted that delicious macaron. It was very delicious and sweet which didn´t surprise him given how good Marinette and her parents baked. Something about that macaron also seemed to remind him of his lady.

"No actually this are for our date…not our date. I mean a pre-tasted date for your date with the mystery girl. I brought lots of things from the bakery and some things I made my self. That is the ladybug macaron. Pink on the outside with chocolate cream in the middle. Do you like it?"

"Yes, I do. they are very sweet. So, what do you meant by planning a date?"

Adrien continued eating; grabbing the Chat noir macaron and splitting it and sharing with Marinette. If that was the ladybug macaron; Adrien wondered if the Chat noir would be just as good and it was with chocolate on both sides and mint in the middle.

She flustered, ate the macaron and began explaining her brilliant plan. She had spent all night thinking about it and ways to help Adrien. Probably overthinking everything but for Adrien there was nothing she wouldn´t do.

"Well it´s the best way to get any girl. You go somewhere beautiful, dance, share an ice cream "

Both began blushing as Marinette continued enumerating countless romantic activities. Adrien felt like in heaven daydreaming all those things with his lady, but the reality slinked in bringing him down to earth. Ladybug would never agree with any of that and he knew it.

"That was always my plan, but she always rejects me"

He said making clearly visible his sadness and desperation

"Stuck up girl "

Marinette whispered to herself before talking back to Adrien.

"I know she always rejects you even though I have no idea why anyone would do that to you, since you are so perfect. But trust me with my help you are going to go with her to many dates and win her heart "

"Thank you "

He said jumping into a hug with Marinette. She wasn´t expecting such an enthusiastic reaction from Adrien. She was so surprised; she tripped. As she began to fall she tried to find a way to stop it. So, using her Ladybug reflexes she grabbed a string but unfortunately the string dropped and with-it Adrien´s schedule dropped too. She had removed all pictures, magazines and everything with Adrien except his schedule and while she was falling she didn´t even remember that was the string keeping it hidden.

At first neither of them noticed as they laid on the ground. Adrien embarrassed and Marinette blushing so hard; As he got up and helped Marinette up he couldn´t avoid looking at that schedule. It seemed familiar with fencing, photoshoots, classes. that's when it hit him

"Is that my schedule?"

He asked her, concerned and examining just how detailed it really was and it seemed very accurate since it even included the dinner with his father nights. Marinette was about to panic. How could she explain that to him? Her mind began to race between ways to explain it and if she could just live forever in her room. Her mind begged her for a reason and an explanation fast. The more she waited , the more worried he seemed to get. Then before she even processed it was a good or not reason she answered:

"Of course, it´s so I know when it´s the best time for the date obviously "

He let his concern go and change it for a smile. He believed her. She exhaled the air that was tapped inside her lungs.

"You are such a great friend"

He repeated to her. She was awesome coming up with ideas, baking and even helping with scheduling his date. Marinette now calmer began showing Adrien all the types of foods, venues and ideas for a date. She also gave him tips on how to ask a girl which she noted that, and the food were probably the ones Adrien payed more attention and took more notes off

He left with a million ideas for amazing dates. He was sure he wanted to try them all but maybe on just one date. maybe on 2,3 or 50 dates; as many dates as they wanted.

He also left that day with a million advice on how to ask a girl out. Now all he needed was the chance to ask her and all those dates would come true; Hopefully soon. Well lucky for him after spending hours talking about the perfect date with her crush but her not being the one going on that date; a certain bug needed fresh air on top of the Eiffel tower .
