Marinette/Ladybug's P.O.V.

"Marinette! Come on you're going to be late!" Tikki called out to Marinette rather angry.

"Coming!" Marinette replied hurriedly and in a rushed tone.

Today was a big day, Marinette just had to get to school on time, but…with her clumsiness and her "luck"….. she was going to be late. Just great. The reason why today is such a big day, is because not only is her school having a famous dance instructor coming to teach them how to dance, but they are also going to hold a contest for the best partner dances. The school also said they were going to have on more surprise, but it's a surprise so they didn't tell us students, darn! Marinette knew it probably wasn't going to happen, because of a certain blue-eyed blonde, but she really wanted to partner up with Adrien. Chloe might, well, she might just be Chloe, but Marinette had a secret weapon Hehe…. She had Alya! Marinette was positive that if she had Alya at her side, she was sure to at least get to hold Adrien's hand. I'm so excited!... and it's….TIME TO GO!

"Tikki!" Marinette called out to her little friend, "Let's go!"

"That's what I said thirty minutes ago!"

"Come on!" Marinette said with a huge smile on her face, not caring that Tikki was angry. Just excited to get to school….. well that's first.

Adrien/Chat Noir's P.O.V.

"Plagg! Get up! We need to get going, or I'm gonna be late!"

"You really wanna go that bad? Why don't you just stay home and eat cheese?" Plagg seriously couldn't figure why his chosen didn't want eat cheese.

"One, cheese stinks. Two, it stinks. Three, remember there's a surprise at school today?!"

"Oh yeah, the dancing thing."

"Yes, the dancing thing so let's go!" Adrien said practically begging his stubborn kwami.

"Let me get this straight, you want to go to school to dance, right?"

Adrien nods his head in reply.

"Let me rephrase that, to dance with Chloe?"

"I am not going to dance with Chloe" Adrien replies firmly as if there was no doubt in his mind, and there wasn't, he was NOT going to dance with Chloe.

"You say so" Plagg replied still not moving from his place on Adrien's bed.

"PLAGG!" Adrien yelled now losing his patience….. fast.

Plagg's head shoots up and he says, "I'm up, where's the cheese?!"

"Let's go!" Adrien says trying to keep his voice calm, but clearly failing.

"Adrien, hurry up, or you're going to be late for school!" Natalie calls through the door.

"Coming!" Adrien yells, then lowers his voice looking at Plagg and says, "Plagg, if you get in the bag there will be cheese waiting for you.

"Why didn't you say that in the first place?!" Plagg says, then gets into Adrien's backpack.

Adrien chuckled, not being able to hide his amusement at his kwami.

*At school*

Normal P.O.V.

"Class, please listen up. Today, after lunch, we will be having a dance instructor coming over and teaching you all how to dance. He will be teaching you all until the end of school year—"

"Yayayayaya" the class cheers with joy!

The teacher smiles, happy to see her students happy. "We'll also have one more surprise coming soon after you've all learned the basics of dancing, but for now please turn to page 117 in your books."

Once out of class.

"So, Adrien who's going to be your dance partner?" Alya says wiggling her eyebrows.

"Um….I'm not really sure, got any ideas?"

"What about Chloe?" She says teasingly.

"No! Anyone but her!" Adrien says abruptly, then lowers his head, a little ashamed of what he had just said.

"Wow, didn't know you had it in you Adrien to be well…. Rude." Alya says still teasing him, with a smirk on her face.

Adrien notices, "Oh be quiet Alya," he scowls, then smirks, "So tell me, how are you liking my best friend's mouth?" he says teasingly, knowing that he hit a nerve, because Alya was positively red, as red a Nathaniel's hair…..which was rare for Alya.

"I-I don't k-know what y-y-your t-talking a-about?" Alya stuttered trying to regain her composure.

"Wow," Adrien says his smirk turning into a full blown grin, "I didn't know you had it in you Alya to well….. stutter."

"Shut up," Alya scowls finally returning to her normal self, "This conversation is over."

Adrien couldn't hold it in anymore, he busted out laughing while his friend scowled. They stayed like this until Nino walked up.

"Woah dudes, what did I miss?" Nino asks

"Nothing" Alya says, gritting her teeth, "Right Adrien?" She shoots Adrien the most intimidating glare she can muster up in her state.

"Yah, nothing" He winks at Alya, "So Nino, you have any idea of who I should have as a Dane partner?"

"Isn't it obvious? You should ask Marinette to be your dance partner."

"Of course! Why didn't I think of that before?"

"Because your dumb" Alya says while snickering.

"Not funny Alya," Adrien says, "Well, you two have fun eating each other's faces!"

"Adrien Agreste, get your butt over here." Alya screams while Nino just laughs.

'That's my cue, bye Nino see yah later!"

"See yah dude!"

Meanwhile somewhere else in the school.
Chloe's P.O.V.

Did Adrien really dislike her that much?! That he didn't even want to dance with her?! Chloe remembers what Adrien said.

*Flashback*

"No! Anyone but her!"

*End flashback*

The look on his face when that brat Alya suggested her….. was she really that bad of a person? Chloe knew she was mean in the past, and she knew she had her moments with Marinette, but were they really that bad?! She couldn't be in this school anymore, it felt like the walls were closing in on her, she had to get some fresh air.

*Outside the school*

Chloe was bursting into tears once she got behind the school, she didn't know she was that terrible that her Adrienk—no – that Adrien really didn't like her being that forward. Maybe she should try and be nice… again?

*Flashback*

"You're so pathetic Chloe, all you do is cry! You never stick up for yourself, you just sit there and cry! Hahahahahaha it's pathetic!"

No! She tried to be nice one time, and all it earned her was hurt, but then again. The friends she had back then were compete cherks, and Adrien isn't like that, not even that brat Marinette is like that. Maybe she should at least try to not be so forward with him, just give him a little space. Yah, that's all she needed to do, just give him some space. All of a sudden Chloe felt a light presence on her shoulder.

"Young lady are you okay? Why are you crying?"

Chloe looked up to see the gentle face of a short old man in an unfashionable Hawaiian shirt. Chloe quickly dried her tears and then replied, "I'm fine," her voice came out rather shakily so she cleared her throat and tried again, "I'm fine sir, thank you for asking."

"You don't look okay," the old man said inspecting Chloe, "You know what, why don't you come to this little party I'm having soon. It might not be that amazing, but there will be kids there your age."

Chloe thought this was weird, but went with it anyway, "When is it?"

The old man laughs, "Not sure, but I'll tell you when I do, may I have your address so I can send you a proper invitation?"

Even though he was a stranger Chloe felt like she could trust him, blessed, who doesn't know where she lives. Her father is the freakin mayor of Paris. "Yes, here it is'; she gives him her address. Chloe felt better, and for some weird reason gave him a hug, and whispered "thank you". Then after realizing what she did she pulled back and said, "I'm sorry I'm just having a tough day." The old man simply laughed, said that he couldn't wait to see her again, and left. Well, that was weird, but she enjoyed it. For some weird reason she really couldn't wait to go to that party. Look at the time! She needs to get back to class, even if Adrien won't be her dance partner.

At School

Mixed P.O.V.

"Ok class, pick a dance partner then we'll call the dance instructor in."

Ok Adrien, walk up to Marinette and ask her to be hour dance partner. Wait, why did Adrien need to give himself a pep talk about asking Marinette to dance? It's not like he had feelings for her… right? He wasn't so sure anymore.

Ok Marinette, just walk up to Adrien and ask him to be your dance partner. Easy peasy, right? Nope! Where's Alya, oh there she is with Nino, no doubt dancing with him too.

"Alya!" she calls and motions for her friend to come over here.

Alya's head shoots over to look at Marinette. Oh no, poor Marinette she doesn't know how to ask the boy of her dreams to dance with her. Good thing her best friend is here to save the day!

"Adrien!" Alya calls, "Come over here!"

What is she doing!? I don't Adrien over here?! Well, I mean I do, but not right now!
"Coming!"

Oh this is going to go bad…..

"Hey Alya, Marinette, what can I do for you?" Adrien asks in a gentleman like way."
"Do you have a dance partner?"

"Wow Alya, blunt as ever I see," Adrien retorts.

"You know me," Alya replies with a smirk on her face, "now answer my question.
"Wellllllll, I don't really have on yet."

"Marinette's available."

"Alya!" Marinette shouts glaring at her friend.

"What?!"

"Can I speak to you in private?... please?"

"Sure, be right back Adrien."

"Ok"

"Alya! I can't dance, why did you ask Adrien to choose me!? I mean what happens if I trip on his foot, the he faceplants, breaks his beautiful face, has to go to the hospital, and his father sues my parents?!"

*sigh* "Marinette, aren't you being just a little dramatic?" Alya questions.

"Maybe…..?"

"So let's just go back out, and see if he actually asks you to dance, and if he does just says yes and we'll take it from there, okay?"

"Okay, thanks Alya!"

"Great! Now let's go get you a dance partner!" Alya says in a sing song voice.

Adrien sees the girls come back and says, "Hey guys!"

"Hey!" Marinette replies.

"So Marinette, since I don't have a dance partner I was wondering if you would be my dance partner… unless of course you already have one." Adrien says, rather nervous for him.

Marinette could feel her face blushing red, "I-I l-ove to!"

"G-Great! See yah after class then, bye!"

"Bye Adrien!"

"My baby has finally grown up, and gotten herself a date!"

"It's not a date Alya!"

"You say that now, but just wait until you get to the final round!" Alya smirks wiggling her eyebrows at Marinette.

"Oh shut up."

Chloe's P.O.V.

So it looked like Adrien had chosen Marinette, now who was she supposed to dance with?! Chloe didn't think there was anyone in the school who would dance with her, especially if even Adrien dance with her, *sigh* what was she supposed to do now?

"Mh-mh" clears throat

Chloe turned around to see….. Max?

"Oh, hey Max, can I help you with something?" Chloe was surprised that she sounded sort of nice, but she was too sad to be mean, she didn't have it in her.

Max looked shocked to see her act this way but still said, "I couldn't help but notice that you were just….. standing here….. alone, so I wonder if maybe, now please don't scream at me, but would you like to be my dance partner?"

Don't be mean Chloe, just say yes. Chloe tried to put on her best bright smile, and somehow it was easy. It was easy to smile around Max for some reason…..I wonder why?

"I'd love to be your dance partner Max." Chloe replies with a genuine smile.

"R-really?" Max was completely stunned, but quickly regained his composure, "Well okay then I'll see you later then!" Max replies with a friendly smile then walks away.

"Yah see yah later Max," Chloe couldn't help but think that maybe being nice wasn't so bad.
