Penguin: Hello chibis! Let's get to the reviews!
~Responses to MMTT~
Lonelygirl702: Yup. Thank you! You're amazing!
Pinksakura271: Maybe. I think she knows but at the same time, her stalker could be ANYBODY at this point. So she's a little apprehensive. Yes, someone did. That's what it reminded me of too when I read it xD
SJJSpice1: For real. Maybe the person has a reason (Hint hint.) and she is. There will be. But there'll also be a loss too. Looking forward to your review! XOXO :D
Cascade00: No. Hm, I don't know. I feel like it'd be better as a prequel. But Idk if I wanna write that.
Obsidiandragon182005: Yup! That's not why she did that. She did that because she needed a break from him.
Wonderfloof: Thank you! I love you! Aw, that's sweet! xD Eh, Idk about that. Thank you! I really like to write them from different perspectives because they're so much fun to write. And I went back and fixed that. It is Akuma.
~Responses to I Still Believe~
FicsFromAnAnbuNin: Thank you!
Izzy: Thank you! Idk how I do it. It just comes to me. And I didn't mean to do those things! x'D

Ummm: I like to write depressing things.

~Response to My Online Crush~
MidnightWiddow87: xD I'm glad I can make you laugh!
~Response to HCTG~
WootWoo: o-o Idk. I've never seen the Notebook so...I can't really relate. I like some of the die-hards, but sometimes I like to vent out and watch other stuff. I love Ride Along! Anything with Kevin Hart is amazing! I don't hate action. I just haven't written any action ones yet xD I will though. I hate horror, that you will probably not see from me. I did, thank you for making me laugh xD It's alright. I'm used to it. Bai!
~Response to Dance With Me~
FicsFromAnAnbuNin: Thank you!
~Response to I Hate Mondays~
Guest: I wont tell. And aw, thank you! That's so flattering! x'D How is that possible? O.o You don't have to an account to be a chibi! Anyone can be a chibi! That's what I call my readers :p
~Response to I Love You~
Guest: xD I'd want my proposal to be heartfelt.
~Response to Draw With Me?~
CharlieBoneFan: Thank you!
~Response to True Identity~
MidnightWiddow87: Aw, thank you! It's alright! I don't mind xD Actually, in the French version, it's Chat Noir and in the English version, it's Cat Noir. I just like to use both. It did?! Omg, that's amazing! You don't have to match my writing. Writing is just how you write. Don't try to be like me, I suck. xD And don't give up! Keep trying! And if you write fanfiction, I'd be honored to read it! I was one of the best writers in my school but some of my fics could use some work. I will! Don't give up though! Aw, thank you! You check every day? o-o I don't post every day xD I post this story on Monday and Friday when I can, and the occasional one-shot here and there. Springtime Memories are updated on Wednesday. Thank you! You're so sweet! And I don't judge. You do you., honey.
Nathanael watched Marinette walk away, his eyes narrowed. "She didn't seem particularly scared to me," Chloe said as she came fully to his side. "No, she didn't."
"Seemed more pissed, judging by the look in her eyes." He turned his head and saw that Chloe's gaze was on Marinette. He followed Chloe's gaze and watched as Marinette climbed into the passenger seat of a waiting car. Her newest guard slammed the door and then headed for the driver's side of the vehicle.
"You're sure she went home with Agreste last night?" Nathanael asked Chloe. Damn it, he warned Marinette. Why wouldn't she take his warnings seriously? He wanted to help her. But he was starting to think she had a death wish.
"I'm sure that's where she went. It's not easy to mistake that guy." No, it wasn't. "He rushed her out of the club and into that fancy car of his," Chloe said. "They went to his penthouse and stayed in all night." I warned her.
"I guess some people like the danger too much," he said, voice gruff. His ex-girlfriend had been that way. He warned her, too. Warned her, and buried her. Am I going to bury Marinette, too? "Want me to keep up the detail on her?" Chloe asked. Her short blonde hair blew in the faint breeze. (A/N: In my story, Chloe cuts her hair.)
"Yeah, stay close. If you see anything suspicious, you let me know." Over his shoulder, he saw that the arson investigator was waiting to talk with him. Like he needed the guy to tell him that fire had been deliberately set. That was fucking obvious.
As obvious as the fact that someone was playing a sick game with Marinette Dupain-Cheng. A game that wasn't going to end until Marinette was dead. Just like my ex-girlfriend.
This location could work. Marinette gazed around at the old fire station. Okay, sure, most people wouldn't think this place was primed to be a fashion design studio…But this can happen. I can make this work.
Excitement and determination pulsed through her. She'd make this studio even better than the other one had been. She could get started right away. If she worked fast enough, hard enough, then maybe she could even have the studio up and running in three weeks, maybe two.
The building could work, so now she just had to come up with the down payment for the place. She already sold all of her jewelry. Her credit cards were maxed out. But…there was a few people who owned her some favors. People like Ivan. Maybe…maybe he could loan her the cash-
"I'm taking over, Jalil. You can go now." Adrien's voice. She didn't stiffen. Didn't start in alarm. Right then, she was too hopeful and happy to stiffen up. Jalil's footsteps padded away, but Adrien didn't come any closer to her.
Determinedly, she glanced to the left. She found him staring at her with a hard intensity in his gaze. "I can put the mirrors there. The sewing machines there." She gestured with her hands. "The open area in the center will be perfect for mannequins." His gaze didn't leave her face. That lethal intensity didn't lessen.
Marinette swallowed. I can even use the upstairs area for an apartment. That will save me money because I can get rid of my place.
But…she just gotten that wonderful security system at her place. She didn't want to lose it. "I think you should hold off on your studio," Adrien said flatly. "No." An immediate denial. She whirled to fully face him. He wore a dark suit, one that emphasized the darkness of his hair and made his green eyes gleam even brighter.
"Yes, Marinette," he said, voice curt. "You need to slow down. Your last place was torched less than twenty-four hours ago. Don't you think that was a message? It's not safe for you to do this. You have to-"
"I have to make this work. I have to believe that I can do it." Designing was the only thing that had always gotten her through life. When she designed, she became someone else. Someone stronger. Without it…I'm lost. His hands closed around her shoulders. "It's too dangerous."
"I thought I was the one doing this to myself," she snapped at him. "Isn't that the story going around now?"
"That story is bullshit." His fingers tightened on her. "You trust me, and I trust you." Her breath caught in her throat. She wanted those words. Wanted them so badly. She searched his eyes, wondering if he was telling her the truth…or feeding her the lie he knew she needed to hear.
Penguin: Thank you guys for reading! I will be posting Springtime Memories today, I swear! I had all of the intentions to post it yesterday and I fell asleep when I was typing :I Anyways, bai!
