Marinette's POV:

Wow. Year number 3. It seemed like yesterday we were small, innocent, little first years excited to learn how to make a feather float on command. Now most of us were teenagers. Hormonal monsters. Finding it cool to swear and skip class. The girls were all growing in the right places. And as for the boys let's just say they're voices were a crack-up.

I was waiting under our tree waiting for Alya, Nino, and Adrien. Alya and Nino had puberty hit them like a truck.

"Hey, Mari!" Adrien smiled, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hey, Adrien!" I looked around and behind him for the sweet couple we called our friends. "Where's Nino and Alya?"

"Ok, I'm going to tell you all I know." He sat on a low hanging branch of the tree, gesturing for me to join him, I sat across from him on the swing, lightly swaying back and forth. "Alright, so I heard from Kim that Max that is helping Nino surprise Alya with a date. I think they forgot about our meeting."

"What?! They've been ditching us a lot lately," I said, exasperated.

"We should be happy for them right?" He sighed sadly.

"Yeah, but can I be perfectly honest with you?" I paused to see him shake his head in agreement. "Do you feel like we're the odd ones out in the group now? I feel like we're being forgotten."

"I can't say I haven't been thinking the same thing," he let out another sigh putting his reassuring hands on my shoulders he smiled, "we still have eachother though, right?"

"Yeah! So..." I paused to think of what we were going to do 2 people short of our group, "wanna play truth or dare?"

"Oh you're on! Lady's first." The blond beamed.

"Ok Hufflepuff, truth or dare?" I grinned mischievously.

"Um... dare!"

"Wow, didn't know you had it in you... let's see here... Oh! I know, I dare you to stick your head in the lake, your body doesn't have to go in but your head will be fully submerged."

"Psh! Done!" He exclaimed running down to the lake.

"Oh Merlin, he's actually doing it!" I giggled running down behind him. He paused looking back to me as I ushered him to continue. He looked out to the lake and before I registered what was happening he had already thrown aside his shirt. Choking on what must have been drool I averted my gaze blushing furiously.

"Come on Mari!" I could practically hear him smirking, that stupidly adorable smirk, why do I have to have a friend this stupidly cute! I groaned turning around to find his emerald gaze caught in my sapphire one.

"Wipe the dumb smirk off your face." I say trying to sound agitated. He just chuckled stepping closer.

"What? Am I too hot for you?" He laughed again. Yes, I wanted to answer, but I had long since remembered my last crush and how that all went to hell. Pulling off my stockings and shoes I waded in the water with him.

"As if!" I yelled confidently thrusting my hands on my hips. In my triumph I didn't notice him come up behind me. "Guess it's you're turn-ack!" He grabbed me by the waist hoisting me up on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"What was that?" He said turning both directions wildly as he held on to me by my legs. Chuckling he pretended to look for me, "where oh where could that little Slytherin get to? She is one slippery snake that one."

"Put me down you evil badger!" I giggled kicking my feet around.

"Never," he tried to imitate an evil laugh that sounded as though it was from a cartoon. I flipped off his shoulder behind him, taking him by surprise I reached my hands around his waist just above his navel and tickled. He let out a very feminist scream as he tried to cover up his stomach from me.

"This little snake has a few tricks up her sleeves," he crouched down holding his stomach as if in pain, "hey, are you ok there Adrien?"

"What a grave mistake you have made," he looked up at me through his wet bangs, "you will curse the day you tickled Adrien Agreste." He lunged at me as I ran to shore. He chased me along almost the whole lake side, finally coming to a halt of my closed path.

"We can work something out right?" I questioned backing up against a bunch of boulders, I was cornered, correction, I was screwed. Slamming his hands on either side of me to cage me, Adrien practically growled.

"Now it's too late for that," he smirked, "you must pay." Both of his hands left the wall of rocks and came down upon my abdomen and tickled the living daylights out of me.

"Please, please, I surrender," I choked out panting after 8 minutes of tickle torture. We collapsed along the shore staring into the now darkening sky.

"Truth or dare?" I heard him ask.

"Ummm... truth?" It came out as more of a question but I hoped his question wouldn't be something like, who do you have a crush on? Yeah no thanks.

"Ok," he said humming in thought, "who do you have a crush on?"

"What?!" I sprung up with a jolt. "Well, come to think of it... no one."

"Not even true," Adrien smirked putting his hands behind his head.

"Yes it's even true, do you remeber the," I came over to his ear and whispered, "Connor incident?"

"No, was I missing or something?"

"Oh! I only told Alya! Well, make yourself comfortable and let me tell you about a tale

way back when, last year basically..."
