Marinette sat in her room, writing designs in her journal. She was trying to design a new dress for the upcoming costume ball. She drew one design after another not sure which one would work. As she worked she felt like someone was watching her.
"Is someone there?" She asked. She looked outside to if there was anyone there. She didn't see a single person but somebody was there nice.
"Nice designs." She heard a voice say.
Chat Noir was in her room looking at her journal.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"I was in the neighborhood, needed to see a friendly face." He said.
"And why choose me?"
"Because you're the civilian I've talked to the most."
"Can I have my book back?"
"Sure." He handed it to her. "Watcha working on?"
"A dress for some dance at my school."
"Got a date?"
"No."
"Well any boy would be lucky to take you...my princess."
"Thank you." She said blushing.
"Anyone who you're hoping will ask you?"
"None of your business you nosy kitty." She giggled.
"Oh come on."
"No."
"Alright, fine, as you wish Princess."
"Shouldn't you be going?"
"Yes it is late." He kissed her hand and headed to the window. "Adieu."
He jumped off the building and disappeared into the night. Marinette just smiled and went to bed. The next day at school Marinette and Alya were talking about the costume ball on Friday.
"Can you believe it." Alya said. "Only three more days."
"Alya I don't think I should go."
"What!"
"I want to go but I don't think I'd fit in."
"You have to come otherwise you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
"I don't think it will last for the rest of my life."
Adrien spent the whole class staring at Marinette. He couldn't take his eyes off her, he had never realized how beautiful she was before. He just sat there watching her with a dreamy smile, looking love struck.
"Dude?" Nino said. "Dude? Hello?" He said waving his hand in front of Adrien's face. "Yo! Earth to Adrien!"
"Huh? What?" He said snapping out of his lovesick trance. "Oh I'm sorry I was just thought lost in thought."
"More like lost in love. Who's the lucky girl? If it's Alya then back off! She's mine."
"I'm not crushing on anyone."
"Oh come on. You're showing all the symptoms. Not paying attention, having that silly grin, that dreamy look in your eye, all you're missing is bunch of hearts circling your head."
"The bell rang and the students exited class.
"Hey Alya." Nino said.
"Hi Nino." She said. "Wanna grab a smoothie?"
"Yeah Adrien and I were just talking about getting one, can he come too?"
"Yes."
The four of them went to the smoothie shop. They sat, talked, and drank smoothies. Marinette was very nervous but she felt calm when she talked with Adrien. She was the only person he talked to the whole time.
"Well that was fun." Marinette said.
"Yeah, we should hang out more often." Adrien said.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Adrien!" Natalie called from the limo. "Time to go."
"Okay, but first a little magic trick." He approached Marrinette and pulled a flower from behind her ear. It was a white rose. "For you." He said handing to her.
"Oh...Tha...Thank you." She said taking it from him.
He got in the limo and took him back home. Marinette held the rose to her chest and smiled happily.
