What Ivan was doing while Nathanial was hanging out with Fang and Alya with Marinette making cool hair for Mylène, this tall boy was reviewing rules with Coach D'Argencourt.
Both of them sat on the bleachers of where the turny field was in view of their sights.
"I could really use a tough guy like you. The team's a bunch of princes. If you know what I mean."
Ivan had a rule book in his hands. It was small, but still thick enough where he had to take the time to read through every single page. He had flipped through it a few times.
"You're telling me." Ivan said. His head turned to face D'Argencourt's face. "It's all..." he started doing the accent of a prince. "After you old chum...Oh pardon me did I bump into you?" He mimicked them as he did a few hand gestures.
D'Argencourt simply chuckled. He understood where Ivan was coming from. Well with the princes all acting the same.
"But where I come from, it's prepare to die sucker." the tall boy with a black T-shirt slammed the small booklet to the ground and stood up. "That's what my father said!" he then stomped his foot on the bleachers. A loud sound of ringing coming from it. "The only way to win is to MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE-"
The slim man stood up and faced the boy. "Ivan." his voice was loud enough through the boy's yelling.
"LOSES-" he tried doing a punching gesture, but the coach stopped him from doing so.
"Ivan. Ivan. Let me explain a team. Uh it's like a family."
Ivan sat back down with the slim man and brought his attention to him. "You do not want to be at my house when it's dinner."
"Okay, okay..uhm." D'Argencourt had said as he gathered words together. "You know how a body has a lot of different parts? Like the legs, elbows, ears.? But they all need each other.
The boy with a so called tough look on his face tried to understand.
"Well, that's what a team is. Different players who work together to win." he glanced at the field before looking back at Ivan. "Make any sense?" he waited for a response.
Ivan understood as a smile haf crossed his face. He turned to him. And then showed his fist. "Can I show them the fist?"
D'Argencourt made a sharp breath in and laughed as he put his hand over Ivan's fist. He shakes his fist a bit. Then he took off the jersey shirt that was over his shoulder and showed him the shirt.
The shirt was his size and it was a shiny shade of green. On the back, was Ivan's name at top and the number eight at center. The number and his name printed out in white.
Ivan smiled. He was part of something that made him truly happy. It's just that he didn't really know it yet.

Ivan walked through the dimly lit hallways. The only light source was the windows. Sunlight rained down on him And for once, a smile on his face not for stealing, but something much more.
He opened the door or Marinette and Alya's dorm and showed off his jersey with a smile. He was even laughing a bit.
On the front of his jersey, was a shield with the colors of a darker green and black making it's pattern. The words on the front of the shirt are 'Auradon Knights'.
He clapped his hands once and whistled a little tune.
Alya was still working on Kim's homework. She was almost done. There was just so much of it.
Nathanial was sitting on the ground. Behind him was Marinette's bed. He was kind of just hanging around. But what he was really doing was digital art.
Marinette was looking through the spellbook that she had gotten from her mother. She flipped through page after page.
Ivam went over to Marinette's right and leaned against the wall. He slumped actually. "Did your plan work with Manon?" he asked. "Are you going over to see and take the Miraculous?"
"Do you think that I would be going through every single spell in this book if I hadn't completely struck out?"
Her brunette friend looked at her for a second before concentrating on the work in front of her.
The red head looked at her too and back at what he was doing.
"Well somebody's in a bad mood." The tall boy said as he got up a little. He backed off a little too.
The bluebell eyed girl looked up at Ivan. "My mom's counting on me. I can't let her down." she gently hit the back of Nathaniel's head.
Ivan glanced at the window and back to his friends. He grabbed their attention from what they were all doing. "We can do this." his arms in front of him. He looked around.
Dead silence for a couple of seconds.
"If we stick together."
Marinette was the next to speak. "And we won't go back until we do. Cause we're rotten..."
Ivan, Alya, and Nathanial all answered together to finish Marinette's sentence. "To the core."
Remembering something that she had heard from Nino, Alya broke the silence. "Oh yeah. I found out that Master Fu presents the Miraculouses at the coronation. And we all get to go."
The blunette had looked down and raised her head to where Alya was in her sights.
"I have nothing to wear and I was hoping that you could help me, Marinette."
The blunette was about to say something until a knock at her dorm room that she shared with Alya was heard.
"What?" Alya asked.
"What." Marinette said rudely. She got up from her bed and went to answer it. After all, it was a nice thing to do.
Alya stood up and crossed her arms.
At the door stood Prince Adrien. "Hey, Marinette." he smiled at her and noticed that her friends were in her dorm room too. "I didn't see you guys today. I was just wondering if you had any questions or anything..that you needed.."
"Not that I know of.." she looked back at her friends.
Alya had her hands on her hips and Ivan was just standing. Nathanial was still sitting on the ground still.
She looked back at Adrien.
"Okay." he said. There was something about her that was different from all of the other girls and he kept finding himself to get lost in her eyes. Those big, beautiful bluebell eyes. "Alright. Well uh..if you need anything, just uh-" he started backing away.
"Oh uh wait." Marinette said. She just remembered what she wanted to ask him.
Adrien stopped and took a few steps towards her.
"Um is it true that we all get to go to your coronation?"
"Yeah." Adrien said, nodding. "The whole school goes."
Marinette smiled. "Wow. That is beyond exciting."
Adrien smiled and thought to himself. 'She has a beautiful smile.'
"Do you think that it's a possibility that the four of us could stand in the front row to see Master Fu and those Miraculouses? And also..." she took in a deep sharp breath. "Soak up all of that goodness?"
"I.." Adrien sighed. "Wish you could." he clasped his hands together. "Up front, it's just me, my folks, and my girlfriend."
Marinette pretended to be disappointed. "And your girlfriend." She tried her best to make sure that those words didn't sound like jealousy.
"Yeah. I'm sorry."
She thought for a second before shutting the door. "Okay. Thanks. Bye!"
"Oh, but there's plenty-" before Adrien could finish, the door was already closed to him. He took a deep breath and headed down the hallway to where he was alone by himself.
"Hey kid." Plagg mumbled. "Did you notice Marinette's earrings? Maybe she's your Ladybug...and I want cheese."
"Maybe.." Adrien said and headed to the kitchen of Auradon Prep.
Meanwhile, back with Marinette, she spun and looked at her friends. "I think it's time that Adrien gets himself a new girlfriend."
Alya tilted her head a bit and smiled.
"And I need a love spell." she clapped her hands once.
Nathanial grabbed her spell book and threw it to her.
She caught it with a smile.
Thanks for the reviews. Those really help me. Anyways, it was a pain to say Chloe being Adrien's girlfriend. Very hard to do. Thanks for reading and the next chapter is coming soon.
