KatThings: No. No. No. No? Wait, no, you're right, YES! (I'm sorry, thanks for your comment!)

Boun1yHun1er: That's right, Marinette, don't be a dummy, there's no way Adrien could be friends with that disaster. Adrien probably had to sign a contract with Chloe, y'know for "safety" purposes, then again… Adrien does kinda stand by Chloe in the show, even though she's done some really fucked up shit, and then gets upset with Marinette when she retaliates, even though Chloe deserves the treatment she gets. It's almost like Snape, of all the shit he's done, people forgive him too quickly all because he did one nice thing. Chloe hasn't even really done anything nice! She's changed very, very, very, very (not really) slightly, she'll do one thing that a decent person would do normally and then everyone is on her side, even though she reverts back to her original way the very next second. Rant over, just slightly heated smh.

ChristiRose13: Thank you so much, I laughed at that part a bunch as well. I hope I don't disappoint!

It was Friday and Marinette was checking herself out in the mirror one more time. To make sure her t-shirt and skirt combo looked alright, to make sure there wasn't a single fly away hair, to make sure her makeup was perfect. Alya and her and planned a group outing with them and Nino and Adrien. It was going to be dinner, the annual fall festival with a firework viewing, and then finishing out the night with a ferris wheel ride. And also a confession to Adrien. Tonight or never. Alya made sure that Marinette had no choice, cause she knew that Alya had photo's of the Adrien shrine on her phone. Marinette gave herself a nod of approval and headed out.

"Hey, girl-" Alya stopped in her tracks as she headed over towards Marinette, "holy cow! Girl, you look banging!" Alya stepped back and watched Marinette twirl. She was wearing a white blouse, a black cardigan, a tasteful red ankle length skirt with black bordering it, and black converse.

"I tried to go classy, chic," Marinette said, looking down at her outfit and pulling at her skirt slightly.

"Girl, you nailed it!" Alya exclaimed, she twirled herself, "I went for more of a comfortable pumpkin," she giggled. She wore a jean jacket, with a orange creamsicle, knee-length dress, black tights, and her usual sneakers. For how weird it sounded in her head, Marinette thought she looked amazing.

"You look amazing, Alya," Marinette said, pulling her into a hug.

"You really think I look okay?" Marinette asked. Alya rolled her eyes and smack her slightly on the shoulder.

"Girl, if Adrien isn't knocked out by how good you look, then he'd be the dumbest person on the planet," Alya chuckled.

"Who's the dumbest person on the planet?" Marinette saw Adrien walk up behind Alya. Alya jumped slightly and then smiled devilishly.

"Oh, nothing, we were just talking about Marinette's outfit. Doesn't she look gorgeous?" Alya asked innocently. Marinette felt her heart jump up into her throat and even Adrien got a little red. He looked Marinette from head-to-toe and nodded.

"She does," he smiled, he was about to say something else, but he was cut off by Nino ringing his arm around Adrien's neck.

"But, not as gorgeous as I!" He exclaimed.

"But, of course, Nino! How could I forget? May I?" Adrien joked, holding his arm out for him to take.

"I supposed," Nino looped his arm through Adrien's and they began walking in the direction of the restaurant. Alya and Marinette stared at each other and then began giggling.

"I guess boy will be boys," Marinette rolled her eyes, "may I?" She winked, extending her arm out to Alya.

"But, of course, my lady," she teased and they too headed for the restaurant.

Dinner was pretty uneventful, they ate and gossiped about the teachers, how much homework they had, different events that were coming up on certain dates, they dabbled a little bit on Ladybug and Chat Noir, they talked about Christmas and what they were going to be for Halloween. Marinette remained mostly quiet, her thoughts were thinking about the question, her mind preparing her for the different scenarios that could play out. They went to the fall festival which was pretty cool, they ate caramel apples and play various games, they looked at the cool trinkets that was being sold, and went to watch the ending of the festival by watching the fireworks while riding the ferris wheel.

"Alya and I are going to be in our own cab," Nino announced, "will you two be okay without us watching over you?" Alya snorted.

"As if, babe! I'll have you know that Marinette and I are here to keep you two under control," Alya commented. Adrien didn't have a chance to retort before Nino was dragged by Alya into the next available car. "You two do behave, though!" Alya called before the car door closed.

Marinette felt her stomach sink a little, she turned to look at Adrien who was busy looking at different, various things. She felt like it was on purpose he wasn't also looking at her.

"Ah, well," Marinette spoke up as the next car door opened up for them, "ready?" She asked, not sure if it was for Adrien or her.

"Yep!" He smiled, still not looking at her as they entered the car. They sat opposite of each other. Both looking away from each other and gazing out their respective windows as the wheel started to move.

They were quiet, not a sound was heard until the first firework was shot off. Marinette jumped out of her seat a moved to the bigger window, watching the show burst in front of her eyes. Adrien also stood next to her, he leaned forward next to her face watched the fireworks, his hand resting next hers on the railing.

"Adrien," Marinette turned towards him, her body only a couple inches away from his. She felt her heart pounding throughout her body, "I like you, a lot! And-and, I didn't wanna say anything till now, but I couldn't go another day without you knowing. You're kind, sweet, handsome, a good person to lean on and you're you… agh!" She spoke so quick and finished it by covering her face with her hands and running to the opposite side of car, squatting into a ball.

"Marinette…" Adrien spoke softly. Marinette squeezed her hands over her ears and whimpered slightly. "Marinette, hey…" Adrien said softly, crotching in front of her, pulling her hands away from her ears.

"Do I at least get to say something?" He asked. Marinette looked like she was going to burst into tears at any moment. He laughed and placed his hands around the back of Marinette's neck, he fell silent for a moment. "Marinette, I was hoping I'd beat you to confessing tonight, but once again you've bested me. I was too afraid…" Adrien admitted.

Marinette's eyes widened. Why would he be scared?

"I-I, uh, why would you be scared?" Marinette stuttered.

"Are you kidding me? Marinette, you're amazing! You're wicked talented, kind, helpful, always there for me an-and, uh, really cute," Adrien turned away from her. He stood and lended her a hand to help her to her feet. Marinette felt her cheeks heat up, as did Adrien's. Adrien took her hands in hers and pulled her into a hug.

And thus, something beautiful sparked.
